In the elegant room of a restaurant in Ping'an Fang, even when it comes to the cold winter wax moon, frost, snow and rain, because of the laying of the flue, it is also warm like spring, the window is pasted with translucent white mulberry paper, and there is a cloisonné beauty sitting by the window, and a few branches of cold plum are half-opened and half-contained in it, and there is already a dark fragrance sinking and floating.

There are delicacies on the table, but the three people at the table are sitting solemnly, and the atmosphere is really incompatible with the warm fragrance of a room.

Jian Ning waited to raise the lamp and drink, and then slammed the empty lamp, he happened to be sitting by the window, but the light that could penetrate the sky still could not dispel the haze between his eyebrows.

Wei Guogong and Yu Feng glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but secretly think in their hearts, I was afraid that after Hou Ye tried according to the plan, the result would be as expected.

Listening to Jianning Hou's words, there was even a bit of a deep choked up in his low voice: "Feng'er said early that the third child is a hidden danger, and sooner or later it will bring a big disaster to the Houfu, so I am advised not to be soft-hearted and completely abolish his career...... I always think of him and my mother, and even if I hear those piercing words, I can't bear to ...... Since I heard that the third child and the second child have already colluded, thinking about Wu Niang, I suspect that the third father and daughter are under the hands, but there is no real evidence, in the end, they are blood relatives and siblings, and they can't rely on the slightest suspicion to confirm his crime and commit fratricidal things. ”

It turned out that Huang Sanye's "disposal", the three of them had discussed it many times, Wei Guogong was not too inconvenient to intervene too much because he was his uncle, but Yu Feng was blunt, pointing out that Huang Sanye was narrow-minded and ruthless, if he did not completely cut off his career, so that he could no longer make waves, it would become a hidden danger in the future, but Jian Ninghou was always a little hesitant, in the end, he was a brother, breaking the bones and connecting the tendons, thinking that there was no real evidence for Wu Niang's matter, in case he wronged the third master...... is still inclined to stir up the matter of the third master's transfer.

There was a farce at the beginning of the month, Jian Ninghou listened to Huang Sanye's bad words again, and felt that his heart and lungs were cold, and the three of them met again to discuss, Jian Ninghou was always difficult to make a decision, or Yu Feng reminded - even if Huang Wuniang's matter is difficult to find out the evidence, but the third master and his wife are simple-minded, now that Huang Jiangyue is married, they don't even have anyone to discuss, in fact, they only need one or two temptations, and it is not difficult for them to show their feet.

Even if they can't be sent to the yamen to be convicted according to law because of this, once Jian Ninghou determines that the third master is an accomplice of Wu Niang's "vicious illness and premature death", he will no longer have any consideration.

The third master and Jiang Yue are so ruthless that they don't care about blood and family affection, if Jianning Hou is soft-hearted and raises tigers, it will inevitably lead to fire and affect the whole clan.

Taking advantage of the fact that it is already the month of Layue, not far from the New Year, the farms and fields under the name of each province have to rush back to the lord's house to reconcile the production, and naturally the servants and servants in charge must rush back from the suburbs to offer the harvested grain, rice, vegetables and fruits.

Qingmei got the advice, and intended to "buy" Xiangrui, who managed the clothes and hairpin rings around the third wife, to inquire, and described the several sets of clothes she accepted at that time, and asked Xiangrui if she had noticed that it was really the dress that the third wife wore every day?

Xiangrui naturally reported this to the third wife: "How long has it been, Qingmei still remembers it, the slave maid only feels lonely, and only after asking her does she find out, it turns out that Liuniang is still worried, and sent someone to the farm to ask her." ”

The third lady was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly, and she hurriedly asked Xiangrui how to answer.

"The slave still remembers, but because she was careful on errands in the past, the wife's clothes and hairpins were recorded in the notebook, but she didn't promise Qingmei first...... After all, whatever the wife instructed, the slave and maid replied. ”

As a result, the third wife forced Xiangrui to hand in the record without saying a word, and told her to respond to Qingmei, so she said that she had checked the book, and the clothes were really worn out by the wife and idle and useless, so she rewarded it later.

That night, the third master came back from drinking flower wine, and the third wife asked Xiangrui to stay outside the door, and the two of them muttered in the house.

Xiangrui got this opportunity and listened to the corner openly.

"Liuniang always stares at this matter, I am always unstable in my heart, I want to talk about what happened back then...... You and I were kept in the dark, and I didn't know what the second brother's intentions were, so I took the box of clothes, and wrapped it tightly with several layers of cotton cloth, and only told Yue'er to keep it, and then handed it over to Wuniang's maids when the time was right...... Yue'er was still smart, so she thought that something was wrong with the clothes...... Later, Wu Niang got a pox, and Yue'er told me not to say that I missed my mouth, and I knew that there was a rash on this clothes...... Yue'er had a big idea, but somehow she grabbed her second uncle, defrauded her more than 1,000 taels of silver, and fought for her second uncle to build a bridge and attach to the clan...... It's just that Liuniang hasn't given up now, how long has it been since then, how should this be born, and there was trouble at the beginning of the month, and it is inconvenient for me to go to Xunyue'er to discuss, or the second master will meet with her second uncle and discuss a way to come out? ”

"A girl who is out of the cabinet, what tricks can you toss, it's good for you to deal with it like that, why is it a hundred, is it possible to kill the mouth of the six girls? Let her toss, but I have to tell the second brother that he won't make another mistake. ”

When the words reached Jianning Hou's ears, it was simply five thunders!

The next day, I found that the third master went to the outer city to find Huang Tao to "meet".

"No more suspicious, no more suspicious! Sure enough, these things that are not as good as wolf hearts and dog lungs and pigs and dogs, in vain I still care about sibling affection! The six girls were suspicious back then...... I also scolded her for being suspicious...... The third brother and sister are such virtuous women, it's not enough to kill one of my daughters, and I still want to kill the six girls! If I don't take revenge, I'm a father in vain! Jian Ninghou said what Xiangrui was listening to, and couldn't help beating his chest, and the seven-foot man burst into tears.

Wei Guogong couldn't persuade him to say anything, so he could only accompany his eldest brother to drink a few glasses of stuffy wine, not without worry: "I'm afraid that the third master is really bad for Liuniang." ”

Yu Feng shook his head: "Even if the third master has such malice, but he doesn't have such means, besides, although he is arrogant, he is not stupid enough, this matter will come out and be even more unfavorable to Huang Tao, the third master can't clean up the mess for Huang Tao, Huang Tao is overstretched at the moment, he can't find the silver to fill the gap of the Liao family, not to mention that he doesn't care about it, with Huang Tao's cautious temperament, he will not act impulsively, the physical evidence is destroyed, and the sixth cousin can't find anything, if she has another accident, it will be even more suspicious." ”

Jianning Hou drank seven or eight glasses of wine in a row to calm down, and his eyes were red: "I have made up my mind to act according to Feng'er's idea, but this matter should not be interfered with by Grandpa Guo and Feng'er, and the revenge of Wu Niang will be avenged by my father." ”

The three of them had no intention of sitting more, only agreed on the plan and then parted ways to go home, Yu Feng and Wei Guogong were on the same road, and suddenly thought of something halfway, and reminded a father-in-law: "Huang Tao is desperate, and he has to raise money to divide the four highnesses 'dividends', and he also plans to prepare the principal to find another way to make Liao Dadongshan make a comeback, maybe he will hit the abacus on the Duchess of the country, although it is also the wife's dowry, the father-in-law is not good to interfere, and the younger generations should not interject, but the younger son-in-law thinks that Huang Tao ponders to use these silver to harm the eldest brother and Yijing brother and sister, and his heart is really unhappy......"

Wei Guogong can understand his son-in-law's accidental "narrowness", and stretched out his hand to pat Yu Feng's slightly thin shoulder: "Feng'er rest assured, even if the Huang family has the heart to supplement Huang Tao, she has always been." Virtuous', in charge of many years in the feed and selfless money, and no mother's family to rely on, Mrs. Tai did not treat the concubine well, although taking into account the marriage with the national government, things can not be too conspicuous, those dowry industry is really not good, just enough and decent, these years Huang has worked hard, there is not much income, she still has biological children after all, the subsidy is also limited, Huang Tao was out of the clan, Huang did not dare to move the cash on the book to subsidize, should only be able to transfer the dowry in the field, in a hurry can not sell at a good price, if she acts, I will find someone to suppress the price, do not let her free up a large amount of cash is。 ”

It didn't take long for the three Su Jing brothers and sisters to receive inexplicable gifts from their own fathers, all of which were also field deeds, Yichen didn't pay much attention, but the two asked carefully, only to know that Wei Guogong bought these fields from the Huang family at a very low price, although it is not a good land, but it is in the beautiful countryside, and it is not bad to build a Zhuangzi for fun.

Besides, Jianning Hou, riding back home from Ping'an Fang, the depression and gloom in his heart had not yet dissipated, and he heard that Mrs. Hou was punished by Mrs. Tai and grounded for three days in the Buddhist hall to meditate on her own life, and it was not difficult to find out the ins and outs.

It turned out that at this time, the Son of Heaven had ordered the Zongren Mansion to reprimand Huang Jiangyue, and refuted Yu Zhou's invitation to Mrs. Sanpin's excerpt, and the matter was uncontrollably publicized, and the nobles knew that the third room of the Houfu raised a jealous woman, and Jiang Yue naturally became a pastime for the noblewomen after tea and dinner, and used her to teach their daughters - don't be jealous!

Mrs. Hou has a sister who also married into a Jinyang family, and after hearing about this, she was puzzled. You are Mrs. Hou, how can you go to the Chu Palace, if you want to say that Yu Erlang's concubine has already entered the door, if Qi Niang can't tolerate her, why did she agree to this family affair in the first place, Xie Yiren is the grandnephew of the old princess, the niece and nephew of the general's wife, there is such a reason, it is naturally rare to hold it, or many families have rejected Yu Erlang's marriage, not that they are afraid that their daughter will be aggrieved in the future, but the third room of the Hou Mansion knows that this is the case and got married...... No matter how much grievance it is, Qi Niang should not have made trouble on the day of the return ceremony, provoking the mother's family to come to the door to ask the teacher, it is a dignified prince's mansion, and the etiquette is stricter than that of ordinary people. ”

This is the statement given by the heavenly family, how dare Mrs. Hou tell the reason in detail, and then the theory is only more unfavorable, she conspired to frame the eldest sister-in-law on the third day of marriage, she is still a cousin and sister, Huang Jiangyue will end up in a situation where everyone is in a state of gold, Mrs. Hou is not good to say that Mrs. Tai feels sorry for her granddaughter's unfairness, so she had to mutter: "Alas, it was the third brother and sister who heard that Qi Niang was wronged and couldn't bear it, and I couldn't stand by and watch, I wanted to ask what happened...... I don't know that it will anger Tianyan, and I regret it. ”

When these words reached Mrs. Tai's ears, she was furious and called Mrs. Hou to the main room to scold her for a while.

Jian Ning Hou was already on fire, I heard that his wife was scolded by his mother for some reason, and he went to the main room with a big stride on his robe, he has always been filial and respectful, and has never contradicted Mrs. Tai, so although he knows that the third master is not acting in a proper manner, Mrs. Tai is helpless to connive, and he has never separated from his brother for this, at this time he only feels regretful at the beginning, he should not have connived at the third master, he is a "brother and friend", but when the younger brother takes his own daughter as a sacrifice for wealth and power, can he be called "brother Gong"?

After seeing the ceremony, he said to his face: "I don't know what mistake my wife made that caused my mother to punish me?" ”

Before Mrs. Tai extinguished the fire, she saw that her son was actually asking for guilt for this, and she was stunned in disbelief for a while, and only gasped for a long time before she said, "What mistake did you make?" How did Yue'er get punished, and your daughter-in-law didn't know the hidden circumstances and reasons? She is good, her sister followed the words of others to say that Yue'er was jealous, she didn't break it down at all, and acquiesced in it, saying 'the third brother and sister can't bear it', and put the responsibility on your brother and sister-in-law, feeling that Yue'er is not her daughter, she can sit on the wall and watch! In vain, she is still the housewife of the Houfu who holds the middle feed, regardless of her relatives, but she still knows the words friendship and virtue? ”

In fact, Mrs. Tai was not angry with Mrs. Hou, it was nothing more than because Jiang Yue was not worthy, so she was angry, she only felt that being grounded for three days was not a severe punishment, but she had thought that she was asked by her eldest son with a dark face, and Mrs. Tai became more and more annoyed, and her words were more and more powerful.

If it was a change of ordinary, Jian Ninghou would naturally be respectful and respectful, and his mother would reprimand him, but today he was really angry, his eyebrows lifted a few times, and he said in a cold voice: "Jealousy is the words of the saint to reprimand Qi Niang, how dare Mrs. decompose for her?" Besides, the incident of the day, the fault is indeed in the family of Qi Niang and the third brother and sister, even if the lady is at fault, the fault is not to persuade the mother, indulge Qi Niang to stir up trouble, the third brother and three brothers and sisters fanned the flames, instigated the mother to lose her calm and act impulsively. ”

As Jian Ninghou's voice fell, the room fell into dead silence.

It took a moment to hear a loud "bang", but it was Mrs. Tai who got up-

"Rebel!"
