"The minister has already sent someone to lock up Miss Jiang's mother-in-law, and when she comes, the minister asks for a confession, and it must be conclusive." Wang Zhiquan said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xia Zhao nodded slowly, "Then you hurry up and go to the trial, remember to present the confession to me." ”

Wang Zhiquan bowed down and left the imperial study.

……

The newly built Wutong Courtyard in the inner courtyard of the Shenjiang Mansion is the courtyard of Zhou Huaili and Jiang Siniang.

There are two plane trees in front of the courtyard, which are extraordinary.

Jiang Siniang had just washed up and was about to go to Songtao Garden with Zhou Huaili to confess her relatives, when she heard Jiang's mother's cry outside the door, but it soon disappeared.

Jiang Siniang was a little strange and asked the big girl next to her: "What's wrong with Mother Jiang?" ”

The big maid shook her head, "The slave doesn't know. ”

Zhou Huaili was in the courtyard and asked with a blue face: "Steward Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”

Steward Zhou clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Fourth son, Dali Temple Yacha was ordered to take people, please don't hinder Dali Temple from performing official duties." ”

Zhou Huaili was stunned and said: "Dali Temple performs official duties, what does it have to do with my lady's companion room?" Steward Zhou, you can't take Mother Jiang away so quietly. ”

"Fourth son, you can talk to the yacha outside, or the Dali Temple. As for what it has to do with it, don't you know if you ask the companion yourself? Steward Zhou waved his hand and said to the mother-in-law he brought: "Go and drag Mother Jiang out!" ”

Not long after Jiang's mother got up, she was assigning errands to the maid in the back room.

Hearing someone outside calling her name, she hurriedly walked out of the back room and smiled, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"Grab it!" A mother-in-law shouted and rushed forward with a few people.

"What are you going to do?!" Mother Jiang was anxious and angry, "I'm your four young *** companions!" Did you recognize the wrong person?! ”

"Dali Temple is the one who caught you! What you have done, you know in your heart! The woman spat in her face with disdain. And he tied her up with a rope.

Jiang's mother immediately remembered the "mother-in-law" who was arrested by Dali Temple in disguised as a woman, and immediately cried.

"I knew you were going to scream!" The woman pursed her lips disdainfully, and quickly stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth and blocked Jiang's mother's mouth.

Seeing that Jiang's mother was arrested, Zhou Da's steward arched his hand to Zhou Huaili and left with Jiang's mother.

Zhou Huaili stood in the courtyard for a while with a gloomy face before returning to the back room. said to Jiang Siniang: "Let's have breakfast." I had breakfast and went to recognize my relatives. ”

When the maids in the house saw that Zhou Huaili didn't allow them to speak, they didn't dare to talk more, and lowered their heads to serve them after breakfast.

Zhou Huaili took Jiang Siniang to Songtao Garden to recognize relatives.

Most of the relatives of the Divine Shogun's Mansion are not in the capital. The last time they came to the Divine General's Mansion in the capital was when Zhou Huaixuan and Sheng Siyan got married.

After two years, I came to the Divine General's Mansion again.

However, they heard about what happened when Jiang Hou's Mansion was married, and then look at Jiang Siniang. With a hint of scrutiny.

Jiang Siniang felt bitter in her heart, but she still had to pretend that she was fine. Salute these guests.

Zhou Huaili looked around, and saw that he didn't see Old Man Zhou, nor did he see Master Tuesday and Master Wednesday, and he was wondering. looked back at his mother, Grandma Wu San.

Grandma Wu San had a hamstring and could only sit on a chair and talk to people.

"Mother, where is my grandfather? And where did Dad go?" Zhou Huaili asked in a low voice.

Grandma Wu San said: "I just made a decree from the Holy Lord. said that there was an urgent matter, and a big court meeting was to be held. Your grandfather, your second uncle, and your father are gone. ”

Zhou Huaili frowned, "Second uncle and father are gone?" They don't seem to have official positions, do they? ”

"I'm wondering too." Grandma Wu San lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

At this moment, another chamberlain came in and announced the decree, saying: "There is a decree in the saint, announce that Zhou Huairen, Zhou Huaiyi, Zhou Huaili, Zhou Huaizhi, and Zhou Huaixin will enter the palace to meet you." - Chin this! ”

didn't mention Zhou Huaixuan's name.

Zhou Huaili couldn't help but glance at Zhou Huaixuan.

Zhou Huaixuan sat beside Sheng Siyan casually, sitting upright, expressionless, not surprised or angry at all, and he couldn't see any emotional changes at all.

Zhou Huaili moved his gaze back, smiled, and arched his hand: "Obey." ”

Zhou Huaili is the person with the highest official position in the Zhou family except for Zhou Huaixuan, Old Man Zhou, and Zhou Chengzong.

He was the leader of the five brothers.

"Come into the palace with me." Zhou Huaili hurriedly said, and then turned back to Jiang Siniang and said, "We have something to enter the palace, you ...... it yourself" After a pause, he glanced at Sheng Siyan with a smile, and said to Jiang Siniang: "You can find your sister-in-law to help you recognize your relatives." ”

Jiang Siniang hurriedly responded and said softly: "I'm fine." Since the Holy One has called you, go quickly, for you have been mistaken on an errand. ”

Zhou Huai responded and strode away with his four brothers.

Originally, the confession should have been carried by Grandma Wu San, but Grandma Wu San broke her foot and couldn't walk, so only Feng took it, and she didn't need Sheng Siyan to go out.

Feng took Jiang Siniang to recognize his relatives.

Almost all the men in the Divine General's Mansion left, leaving only Zhou Chengzong, a sick fool, and Zhou Huaixuan, a cold person, and distant relatives from other places.

"This is grandmother, I went out to greet you yesterday, which is really enough face." Feng smiled and introduced Mrs. Zhou to Jiang Siniang first.

Jiang Siniang hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and raised the tea cup above her head to give tea to Mrs. Zhou.

Old Madam Zhou took the tea with a smile, took out a heavy red envelope and put it on her tray, and said, "From now on, you will be the first person among the granddaughters-in-law of my Divine General's Mansion." In the future, you must be a good director, serve your in-laws, and teach your husband and children. ”

praised Jiang Siniang in front of so many relatives as the first person among all granddaughters-in-law, which is not a small face.

However, Sheng Siyan, the eldest granddaughter-in-law who had just given birth to her great-grandson, was sitting next to her, and this sentence was simply slapping Sheng Siyan's face.

Zhou Huaixuan's eyes were like electricity, and he glanced at Old Madam Zhou gloomily.

Sheng Siyan gently put his hand on the back of Zhou Huaixuan's hand, smiled slightly, and gave him a reassuring look.

Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes and looked at the square brick floor in front of him.

Although Jiang Siniang stood far away from Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan, the corner of her eyes kept staring at the movements of the two of them. Seeing that Mrs. Zhou's words were a little different, she hurriedly said: "Grandmother praised it, I just entered the door, and I am small, far inferior to my sisters-in-law." ”

"I said you were the first person, you are, what do you care about others? Someone has been married in for decades. It's still not pleasing to the in-laws. Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and scolded Huai.

Feng didn't care at all. As if he hadn't heard it, he said to Jiang Siniang: "There are relatives over there." ”

Jiang Siniang hurriedly got up and smiled apologetically at Feng. Said: "Auntie......"

"You're welcome." Feng smiled and patted her hands, "Let's go see your second uncle." ”

Zhou Yanting, the eldest daughter of the second room, came with her husband and children, and sat next to Hu Er's grandmother, and she was also worried about the second grandfather's entry into the palace. is talking to Grandma Hu Er.

When Feng brought Jiang Siniang over to recognize her relatives, Zhou Yanting almost didn't hear Feng's words.

It was Hu Er's grandmother who hurriedly pushed her. smiled: "This is the bride of Huaili." ”

Zhou Yanting hurriedly stood up, and said to Jiang Siniang with a smile on her face: "The fourth brother and sister are good-looking, it is really worthy of our fourth brother who has worked hard to ask for marriage in many ways." ”

Jiang Siniang blushed. Bent her knees and blessed, and said, "The eldest sister is polite." ”

There are three rooms in the Divine General's Mansion, and there are a total of three girls.

Zhou Yanting in the second room is the largest. So it's always been the big girl.

Dafang's eldest daughter Zhou Yanying is the second girl, and the youngest daughter Zhou Yanli is the third girl.

There is no daughter in the third room. There were only three sons.

Like their sons, the girls are all in three rooms together.

I met with Grandma Hu Er again, and met the two sisters-in-law in the second room.

After Feng Shi introduced the second room, he took Jiang Siniang to Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan, and said with a smile: "Siyan, you are familiar with it, so you don't need me to say it." ”

Jiang Siniang hurriedly curtsied and said, "I didn't expect that I and my young grandmother would have such a fate and be blessed to be a concubine." ”

"Siniang, you are too humble." Sheng Siyan stood up with a smile and ordered someone to give her a meeting gift, "Be careful, not respectful." ”

"Thank you." Jiang Siniang curtsied to Zhou Huaixuan again and shouted, "Big brother." ”

Zhou Huaixuan bowed his head indifferently and didn't even stand up.

Feng Shi said again: "There are two girls in our big room. Yan Ying is already married and has not yet come. Yanli is still in the family temple, but the steward of Zhou said that someone was sent to pick her up. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhou Yanli's voice coming from the door: "Mother, we are back." ”

Feng Shi turned around and saw that Zhou Yanli was still standing next to her sister Zhou Yanying!

The two of them looked like they were coming back together.

Zhou Yanli was dressed in a plain white silver rat coat, wearing a moon-white Guanyin pocket on her head, and stood slim at the door.

Zhou Yanying is wearing a long brocade jacket with begonia red hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren, worn under the lotus blue Doro's cloak, which is both bright and elegant, much more peugeot than Zhou Yanli.

It's just that Zhou Yanli smiled, but Zhou Yanying's face was tense, and the look in her eyes was a little unkind.

Feng Shi was secretly surprised in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hey, did you meet you at the door?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yanli hurriedly replied.

"It's not." Zhou Yanying raised her eyebrows, which was different from what Zhou Yanli said.

Zhou Yanli tugged at Zhou Yanying's cloak a little anxiously, "Sister, don't ......"

Zhou Yanying glanced at her and said angrily: "You, you are cautious in everything, and people don't accept your affection, what are you afraid of?" ”

Zhou Yanli pursed her lips and did not speak.

"Yo, I came back in time." Feng Shi didn't hear the two sisters talking, and beckoned with a smile, "Come and meet your fourth sister-in-law." ”

Zhou Yanli walked over quickly, took the initiative to take Jiang Siniang's hand, and said very affectionately: "Fourth sister-in-law, I can be regarded as looking forward to you!" ”

Jiang Siniang smiled and said, "In the future, the three girls will take care of it more." ”

"No problem. If you're going to be idle, just come to Linglong Pavilion to talk to me. The fourth brother is very good to us on weekdays, and the third aunt also takes good care of us, even if I repay the favor, I have to be good to the fourth sister-in-law. Zhou Yanli said with a smile.

Zhou Yanying came over and also blessed Jiang Siniang, and the two exchanged a few words, which can be regarded as a confession.

Zhou Yanli glanced into the house, and saw that most of the male guests were distant relatives, and none of the close relatives in the family had seen any except Zhou Huaixuan, so she was very surprised and asked, "Where is grandfather?" Where's my dad? What about the second uncle? What about the third uncle? And how many cousins and cousins? Where have they gone? ”

Jiang Siniang's face turned even redder, and she felt very uncomfortable.

According to the customs of Bactria . If the new daughter-in-law is not there when the serious master of the family is not there, it is a slap in the face of the bride, indicating that the family is extremely dissatisfied with the bride.

Although Jiang Siniang knew that the men of the Divine General's Mansion were summoned away by the Holy Lord, she was still very embarrassed. - When this news spreads, everyone will only think that she is not favored by the elders of the general's mansion and is dissatisfied with her as a new daughter-in-law......

Mrs. Zhou praised her like that just now, she felt that it was to make up for the shortcomings of today's confession.

But a defect is a defect. If only it could be compensated. It's not called a flaw.

Jiang Siniang sighed in her heart and said in a low voice: "Grandfather and uncle, and brothers. They all went to the palace. ”

Zhou Yanli was surprised, "The second uncle and the third uncle also went?" ”

She knew that neither the second nor the third uncle had official positions.

"He who is called by the holy decree does not know what to do." Jiang Siniang tried to put on a smile. replied with a smile.

"Oh." Zhou Yanli responded thoughtfully.

Zhou Yanying came over and took Zhou Yanli's hand. walked up to Sheng Siyan, stared at her face, and said stiffly: "Sister-in-law, my sister is back." I want to ask you, what did my sister do wrong, you have to let her live in the family temple for more than half a year! ”

Sheng Siyan raised his head in some surprise. glanced at Zhou Yanying.

She is not familiar with this sister-in-law at all, and she used to have a nodding friendship. I didn't expect her to come to Zhou Yanli to fight upset.

Sure enough, my sister is generally smarter than my sister, and I know how to instruct my sister to speak for herself......

Sheng Siyan didn't stand up either, and said with a smile: "Yan Ying, this is grandfather's decision, if you have any questions, you have to ask grandfather." ”

"Grandfather didn't look at the two of you yet." Zhou Yanying said unceremoniously, and looked at Zhou Huaixuan again, "Big brother, you are Yanli's eldest brother, and you just watched your sister being bullied to such an extent?" I don't want to talk about the girl we married, and I don't blame you for the water that the girl who got married. But Yanli has not yet married, and she will be an eighteen-year-old girl after the New Year, and she has not yet said goodbye! locked her up in the family temple alone, but because her sister-in-law had a few words with her! Is it really good for you to do this? ”

In front of so many relatives, Zhou Yanying actually dared to challenge Zhou Huaixuan.

Sheng Siyan couldn't help but secretly give Zhou Yanying a thumbs up in his heart. - Girl, you're good enough!

Zhou Huaixuan still didn't look up, looked at the square brick floor in front of him, and said lightly: "It's none of your business." ”

He didn't want to pay attention to the two sisters Zhou Yanying and Zhou Yanli at all, and he never regarded them as his own sisters, but now that Zhou Chengzong has become stupid, Zhou Huaixuan still restrained his temper a little, and did not turn his face and leave on the spot.

"She's my own sister, how can it be none of my business?" Zhou Yanying was very dissatisfied, "I went to the family temple to see my sister last night, and I saw her in the cold winter, covered with a thin quilt, eating cabbage and tofu, shivering from the cold. She's a girl from the Divine General's Mansion! It's not a beggar with no father and no mother outside! ”

Sheng Siyan's heart moved, and he got up and reached out to grab Zhou Yanli's wrist, wanting to diagnose her pulse.

She was also worried that Zhou Yanli was living too hard in the family temple, and it would not be good if she hurt her body.

Although she didn't agree with Zhou Yanli, she didn't want her to die, and she didn't want her to be damaged for the rest of her life.

As a result, Zhou Yanli didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but at this time she raised her wrist and brushed her hair.

Of course, Sheng Siyan's movements were not as fast as hers, and the hand that was immediately stretched out fell into the air.

"Yanli is so fast." Sheng Siyan couldn't help but say, took a closer look at her face, and said, "Yanli has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, not like she is sick." Then he looked at Zhou Yanying and said, "Yanying, you care about your sister and have sisterhood, I appreciate it." But your sister is fine......"

"Can you do her if you're in good health?!" Zhou Yanying couldn't help but refute Sheng Siyan's words, "Seeing that she didn't have frostbite, are you disappointed?!" ”

Zhou Yanying can't forget what Zhou Yanli said in her ear when she fell asleep with Zhou Yanli last night.

After she got married, it turned out that her aunt and sister had suffered so many grievances in the big house!

And after Sheng Siyan entered the door, the grievances suffered by her aunt and sister were even more outrageous!

Zhou Yanying has always been silent, unlike Zhou Yanli, who can speak, and she is not enthusiastic about others, but she loves this sister very much.

Although Aunt Yue loved Zhou Yanli more since she was a child, Zhou Yanying was never jealous, but spoiled Zhou Yanli with Aunt Yue.

This time she received a letter from her sister and knew that she had been locked up in the family temple for more than half a year because she had offended her sister-in-law, so she hurried to visit her in the family temple.

After a long night of talking with her sister, Zhou Yanying was so angry that she kept complaining about why her sister didn't say it earlier!

Zhou Yanli took Zhou Yanying's hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister, don't say it, it's not about the eldest brother and sister-in-law, it's not good for me." As he spoke, he saluted Sheng Siyan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. My sister just cares too much about me, she has no ill intentions. ”

Sheng Siyan smiled and said, "I'm not angry with Yan Ying. You instigated your sister to fight for grievances, but it was a good idea and a good trick. ”

"I didn't!" Zhou Yanli immediately blushed and retorted: "My sister has always been such a warm-hearted person! She has loved me since I was a child! ”

"It's because I've loved you since I was a child, so you should think more about your sister." Sheng Siyan smiled and said, "Your sister is a married person. You instigated her to stand up and turn her face with us, so that she had no mother's family to rely on, how can you let her gain a foothold in her mother-in-law's family in the future? ”

In terms of glossing words, ten Zhou Yanli are not Sheng Siyan's opponents.

Zhou Yanying was stunned, turned her head and said, "Anyway, I have never relied on my mother's family." It doesn't matter if you turn your face or not. ”

"Really?" Sheng Siyan saw that Zhou Yanying was confused, and couldn't help but mention: "Then you can try, go back and say that you have a falling out with your mother's family, and you will not have any contact with the Divine General's Mansion in the future, you will see how your mother-in-law's family will react." ”

Zhou Yanying suddenly remembered that one year, she was reluctant to go back to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year, her mother-in-law and husband tried every possible persuasion to give out all the treasures, and finally she nodded and agreed, and her mother-in-law was so happy that she prepared a gift for her to return to her parents' house.

Although she has never received any material benefits from her mother's family, these influences cannot be said to be completely absent, right?

Zhou Yanying was silent.

She really didn't want to go back to her parents' home.

The only person she cares about is this sister, who had a very sweet mouth when she was a child and was very good with her.

Her relationship with Aunt Yue, the biological mother, is not good.

She heard Mama Yue say in private before, saying that Aunt Yue originally wanted to have a son for the first time, and Lang Zhong and Wen Po, who saw her, also said that Aunt Yue was pregnant with a male fetus.

At that time, the child in Aunt Yue's womb was extremely precious.

Because that year, two-year-old Zhou Huaixuan was often sick and dying.

It was also in that year that a senior monk gave Zhou Huaixuan an order, saying that he would not live to be eighteen years old.

And although the old man Sheng, who is a doctor of medical skills, has been seeing him, he doesn't dare to pack a ticket to cure him, and only says that he will do his best.

Because of Zhou Huaixuan's illness, Old Man Sheng said that he was brought from his mother's womb, and said that unless Zhou Chengzong changed his wife, Feng's child would still be sick.

Zhou Chengzong refused to leave the Feng family, and still went around looking for medical advice for the young Zhou Huaixuan.

Mrs. Zhou saw that it was not a problem, so she gave the Yue family to Zhou Huaixuan as a concubine.

Aunt Yue was also angry, and just two months after entering the door, she became pregnant.

In this case, it is really conceivable how important the fetus in Aunt Yue's belly is.

But she didn't get angry.

Aunt Yue was full of hope to give birth to her, and she always thought it would be a boy, but it turned out to be a girl!
