Chapter 224: The Battle of the Last Water (I)
When they arrived at the outer hall, the five rooms of the Zhuo family had already arrived, even Zhuo Zhirun and Ding were no exception, although they rushed to come when they heard the news, and they were wearing extremely 'gorgeous' newlywed clothes, but the most eye-catching hairpin rings on Ding's head were removed, leaving only a few decent ones, which were expected to be removed on the road.
For fear of arguing inside, everyone brought only one 'waiter' in, and the rest remained in the courtyard, and even so, the huge hall was crowded with people.
Among the people, Zhuo Zhaojie, who was tightly held by You's hand, was as pale as paper, and Zhuo Zhaozhi and Zhuo Zhaocui, who witnessed Minpinghou being stunned, were also in a hurry, but it was not them who were most frightened, it was Ding.
Ding's only passed the 'door' yesterday, and now her husband's grandfather, Min Pinghou, fell ill, and if the husband's family is mean, he will say that the new 'wife' has brought bad luck into the 'door'! Thinking of this, Ding's whole person trembled, and was barely able to stand up after being helped by the 'nurse' mother who accompanied the marriage, and there were several ice tanks in the room, which could not stop the dense beads of sweat on her forehead from seeping out.
Seeing the Shen family come out, everyone was stunned, Ding's heart was about to jump to their throats, and they didn't want the Shen family to take Zhuo Fangchun and the three of them out, so they raised their eyelids and swept their heads, but they didn't mention Min Pinghou's illness, but calmly ordered: "Except for the four rooms, the grandchildren should go back, especially Qilang and Ding, you only got married yesterday, and there are still many places to clean up today." ”
Ding Shi heard that she didn't look like she was going to be angry with herself, and her heart was relieved, and she couldn't help but have a good impression of Shen, and she saluted obediently, and then retired with the rest of the people with complicated expressions.
After sending away the juniors outside the fourth room, Shen's original wooden look quickly diffused with a 'gloomy' color, she glanced at the people in the fourth room, and finally her gaze fell on Zhuo Zhaocui: "Balang, what's going on?" Come on! ”
Originally, Zhuo Zhaojie was ready to answer, but she didn't want the Shen family to pick Zhuo Zhaocui, she was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood, although she didn't have too many city governments, but she had never suffered a loss in her tongue, and she had the support of her husband's family, so it was really hard to say that she could 'mix' the past, and because of the foster care of the You family since childhood, the love between her and Min Pinghou was not deep, and she was even reprimanded by Allergic Pinghou, so she was more towards Zhuo Fangli.
However, Zhuo Zhaocui was personally raised by Minpinghou, and he was the one who had the deepest affection for Minpinghou and had no grievances in the four rooms.
Now Minpinghou vomited blood and was in a coma, and the old lady Hu said that he was angry, and at that time in the study, except for a dying Wen Zhizhi, it was the father and son of the four rooms, before Zhuo Fangli rushed into the study with the eldest son and the second son violently, which was seen by many people, and anyone could guess who was the person who made Minpinghou angry!
But guess it out, and guess it, and want to implement the charge of disobedience in the four rooms, but it is impossible to just guess, especially the queen's impression of the Shen family is very bad, because Zhuo Fanghua made a fuss at the palace banquet back then, and Queen Chun Yu has always thought that it was the Shen family who was angry with the Yuan family and the Liang family before entering the 'door', so it is not strange to plant the big house and the four rooms of the Yuan family - it really made a big fuss in front of the emperor, and the Shen family was not sure to persuade Queen Chunyu, who had always been indiscriminately biased to the Yuan family.
Therefore, the Shen family picked Zhuo Zhaocui, who was the most honest in 'temperament' and respected Min Pinghou the most.
This is the person who was present at the time and knew the whole story, and was the most likely to tell the truth.
What's more, with Zhuo Zhaocui's 'temperament', even if he lies, Shen can see it.
Zhuo Zhaocui's face was already pale, but when he was asked by Shen's name at this moment, he panicked, and his face was 'exposed', and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Back to grandmother, I don't know much." ”
"You followed your father and eldest brother into the study, and your grandfather was also present when he vomited blood and fell into a coma, how could you not know?" Seeing him like this, Shen Shi had a glimmer of life, and he refused to let go even more.
Originally, she was so 'forced' to force the people in the fourth room, how could Zhuo Fangchun help to speak, but at this moment, his expression was complicated, and he looked at the ground not far away, as if he had the intention of staying out of the matter, the eldest lady 'wanted' to speak, seeing her husband like this, she was suspicious, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.
Shen saw it out of the corner of his eye, but he realized it, changed his kind tone and said to Zhuo Zhaocui: "If you think you don't know the cause and effect, then tell me what you saw after following your father into the study." ”
Zhuo Zhaocui, who has been taught etiquette and shame by Minpinghou since he was a child, is the most obedient and filial, the so-called son does not say anything about his father, even if his grandmother asks, with the teachings he has always received, he refuses to say that it is his father Zhuo Fangli who stunned his grandfather Minpinghou, but he thought, how can he be worthy of his grandfather?
Although Min Pinghou has always had no good face for him, and even compared him with Shen Dangu everywhere, and reprimanded him with disappointment, but Zhuo Zhaocui really respects and admires this grandfather, he is not like Zhuo Zhaojie, because he was punished and reprimanded by Min Pinghou, he was dissatisfied and resentful, but he worked harder, looking forward to his grandfather's approval.
But if you tell the truth......
biological parents, brothers-in-law, young sisters-in-law, and childish nephews...... Zhuo Zhaocui trembled slightly, say it? Disobedient father, with this article, don't think about raising your head again after the fourth room, let alone the position of the son of the world! What's more, Marquis Min Ping doesn't know what the situation is now, if he really goes like this, he will be charged with killing his father, and the exile will be light!
Although he can write a letter to request to serve on behalf of his father, he ...... Charged with father-killing and disobedience, can you still get well after the fourth room? Regardless of the people around, what should Zhuo Zhaojie do? Zhuo Zhaocui has always been very worried about his spoiled sister, and in his thoughts, everyone should be quiet and elegant, and keep etiquette in every move.
But Zhuo Zhaojie can also pretend to be, she is willful and squeamish, and she can't stand the slightest grievance.
Originally, according to the current situation where Minping Hou is still there, the Zhuo family will be weaker than the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, if something happens in the fourth room, then Zhuo Zhaojie will escape punishment even if he relies on marriage, and when he arrives at the Ning family, he will be lonely and helpless...... Will you be able to live well in the future?
Do you really want to watch this delicate and fresh sister like a 'flower' end up helpless?
and mother You......
Zhuo Zhaocui's teeth were almost bleeding, he clenched his fists tightly, and he couldn't say a word anyway!
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Shen's heart was anxious, his face was cold, and he said, "Why don't you speak, kid?" But the one who fainted your grandfather, you can't say? But the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules, and this time your grandfather must recuperate for three days before he can do it, but he must not be punished lightly! You will have to give birth to your grandfather and think about it for a month or two! ”
Hearing this, Zhuo Fangchun and Zhuo Fangli's faces changed the 'color', and they secretly scolded the Shen family for being 'yin' poison!
When Mrs. Hu said the diagnosis before, only the two of them, Shen and Zhuo Fangdian, heard it in the inner room, and Shen asked Aunt Shen to accompany Mrs. Hu to grab the 'medicine', obviously to prevent Mrs. Hu from being stopped by the Zhuo family when she passed by the outer hall - Mrs. Hu is old and 'fine', and she never wants to be involved in the 'yin' and 'private' affairs of the high-ranking 'door' and big households, as long as Aunt Shen stops her a little, he will definitely pretend to be deaf and dumb and leave quickly.
After the three of them came out, the Shen family directly sent the grandchildren outside the four rooms, but until now they have not mentioned Min Pinghou's condition, her face is not good-looking, but she has not 'revealed' the frightened 'desire' of absoluteness', and now deliberately downplays the situation of Min Pinghou - what the old lady Hu said is that if Min Pinghou can't wake up within three days, then there is' Sex's life is in danger, and he may not even be able to wake up again, but when he came to Shen's place, he was recuperating for three days, although the wording was similar, but it gave people a world of difference.
In the ears of juniors like Zhuo Zhaocui who don't know the true situation of Minpinghou, they think that Minpinghou can be all right as long as he recuperates for three days, and even Shen also "exposed" the result of this punishment "through", which is nothing more than to apologize to Minpinghou, and think about it for a month or two behind closed doors, compared to the crime of disobedience, this punishment cannot be said to be heavy.
In this way, it is natural to shake Zhuo Zhaocui's heart to protect Zhuo Fangli!
Shen's hand even made the second and third rooms believe it to be true, and they all 'revealed' a relieved look.
Zhuo Fangli naturally couldn't let her mislead her son like this, so she immediately spoke: "The old lady said ...... this"
"Shiro!" Shen interrupted him without looking at it, and said lightly, "Don't scare children indiscriminately!" ”
Zhuo Fangli sneered: "Don't mislead my son, old lady!" ”
"How did I mislead him?" Shen said lukewarmly, "I don't care how your father punishes you, it's the truth, but how I punish you is here!" ”
Although Zhuo Fangli said the words to remind Zhuo Zhaocui, but Shen misled the leakage of her words before and only said her punishment, as for whether Min Pinghou will no longer be punished, it may not be, but this deepens the misleading sentence of "three days of rest", because if Min Pinghou can still personally deal with people who disobey him, what impact does Zhuo Zhaocui have if he says or not? It's just that it will come out later, and if he doesn't say it now, won't Min Pinghou be sad and sad when he finds out in the future? I'm afraid the penalty for the four rooms will be a little heavier!
Zhuo Zhaocui's 'sex' is pure, although he has always been defensive about the Shen family, but in the end, the young city government is not deep, and now his mind is 'chaotic', but it is not a big problem to believe in Minpinghou - in fact, this is also the result of his ardent hope in his heart, so he hesitated, and finally said: "Just now I followed my father and third brother to the study, and I saw ......."
The father and son of the fourth room broke into the study because they heard the rumors, and went away angrily, before entering the 'door', they heard Min Pinghou reprimanding Zhuo Zhaojie, and after entering the 'door', they saw Zhuo Zhaojie covering his shoulders with one hand and tears streaming down his face.
Zhuo Zhaocui paused when he said this, and considered the wording, not wanting Zhuo Zhaojie to suddenly raise his head, and said, "Grandmother wants to know what happened, why do you want to ask Starling?" Isn't that what you should ask me? ”
Shen didn't have the heart to pretend to be kind at the moment, and said coldly: "Ji Niang, how did you teach your 'daughter'?" I don't understand the rules at all! I asked Hachiro, what kind of mouth did she come out of?! ”
Although the You family and the Shen family have been fighting for many years, it is the first time that they have been openly reprimanded and taught the 'female' Wufang, and she is naturally embarrassed to get off the stage, but she reacts quickly, knowing that although the 'female' is willful, she is not a person without eyes, and at this moment she suddenly went to intercept Zhuo Zhaocui's words, I am afraid that there is another reason, after all, Zhuo Zhaojie was also in the study at that time, but he did not ask for guilt, but said: "Mother, the daughter-in-law 'woman' thinks that what Qi Niang said is reasonable, after all, the husband and San Lang and Hachiro went later, the whole story, It is still Qi Niang, who was the first to be brought into the study by her father, is the clearest. ”
As soon as she said this, although she doubted why Zhuo Fangchun had not helped the eldest lady, she also felt a little wrong, the eldest lady was calculated by the Shen family that she had no son-in-law, and it was even difficult to have children, and the enmity between the Shen family and the Shen family was as deep as the sea, as long as there was an opportunity to dismantle the Shen family's platform, she definitely didn't want to miss it, and then answered: "It's this Li'er, my mother is probably worried that my father is worried about being confused, right?" Xiao Hachiro only entered the study later, and Wen Zhizhi only has one breath left, if you want to know why your father fainted, of course you have to ask Xiao Qi Niang! What's the matter with staring at Kohachiro? ”
Shen looked at her with compassion and said, "Why is your father still here, and you are going to disobey my mother?" I still think that if I am the stepmother, I can't control you! ”
The Shen family has not shown her identity to oppress people for many years, and now she is in the mood of breaking the kettle, and she has to deduct the charge to the fourth house who has the most hope of inheriting the title without the Marquis of Minping designating a prince!
The fourth room and the big house have always been 'friendly', and the crime of killing the father of the fourth room was implemented, and then the big house was dragged into the water - so that even if it was not Zhuo Fangya who inherited the title in the end, the second and third rooms had no big grudges with the Shen family! What's more, in this way, the second and third rooms can inherit the title also depends on the Shen family, and there is always a favor!
After all, the Shen family is the stepfamily of Marquis Minping, and in terms of etiquette, except for Marquis Minping, the entire Zhuo family must be filial to her! This is also her biggest card when Minping Hou is in a coma now.
The eldest lady didn't expect the Shen family to be suddenly taken aback, and looked at the people in the fourth room in disbelief, but she wasn't sure whether to stand up to the Shen family next, or to round the field first?
At this moment, Zhuo Zhaojie pushed away You's hand and took a step forward, and said loudly and disdainfully: "Grandmother, don't ask the starling, the starling has always been pure and kind, how can he say that the fifth uncle spoils the concubine and kills his wife and makes his grandfather ......angry."
You Shi stepped forward to cover the mouth of the 'girl' and reprimanded loudly: "Who allowed you to commit such rudeness?" Your fifth uncle is your serious elder, and he has his own grandfather and grandmother to discipline him, so how can it be your turn to talk nonsense! Follow her and quickly give Shen a blessing, "Mother is angry, the daughter-in-law is indeed too indulgent to this child, so that she dares to say anything!" ”
Saying that, he glared at the 'girl' "fiercely", "Don't hurry up and make amends to your fifth uncle!" ”
