Chapter 397: The queen is held accountable, and the clan leaves home
When Yu Feng and Yijing arrived at Jianning Houfu, the main hall was still "public trial", as juniors, they were not insiders of the Huang family, of course they were not good at attending the trial, accompanied by Jianning Hou Shizi and his wife, talking in the flower hall. Yi Jing and his eldest cousin-in-law Zhao were drinking tea behind the fan, Zhao was the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Tai, and she was also from a prestigious family, with long sleeves and good at dancing, and only accompanied Yi Jing to talk homely, and did not mention Jiang.
But Yichen's arrival shattered the peaceful atmosphere.
Before a day passed, even Yichen heard the rumors, which shows the speed and wide spread of this "rare thing".
As soon as Yichen sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "I was in the palace, and I actually heard the queen mother ask about this matter, and my heart was beating wildly, what is going on, how could the second aunt suffer such a catastrophe?" ”
Yi Jing also couldn't figure out whose means it was, although she knew that the "adulterer" was a dead man, and she was a little suspicious of the three princes, but she didn't think that the three princes could detect Huang Tao's head, from her standpoint, if the three princes and Huang Tao had already colluded, and had insight into the Huang family's malice towards herself, even if it was found out that Huang Tao planned the assassination of Qingping'an, this would do such an obvious thing, Qi Fei and Huang Tao tore their faces, the three princes are one for the mother's hatred, and the other is the big position, so they should not act impulsively, but if it weren't for him, who would regard Huang Tao as an enemy?
Father and Yu Feng will not use such reckless and ruthless methods, and it is impossible for Jianning Hou to catch the reputation of Houfu, this matter is really confusing.
Yijing only sighed lightly: "Yesterday, I went back to visit my wife, and I saw my second aunt, but I didn't know that something happened." ”
Yichen heard Yijing call Huang "Mrs.", he was a little surprised, and when he knew that he didn't pay attention to it, he just asked if the rumors were true?
Huang Tao was a guest of the crown prince, although his real power was limited, but he was also a third-grade official of the Eastern Official's subordinates, and the Jiang family had a three-rank edict, and even the queen was shocked when such a thing happened.
When Zhao heard this, he said the matter again, of course, he was not very careful, Yichen listened with a panicked face, but he insisted on it: "Second aunt will not do this...... Someone must have framed him. ”
Of course, Yi Jing didn't think that the Jiang family would not abide by the women's way, she listened to Yu Feng carefully, and knew that the Jiang family must have no purpose yesterday, so he would sneakily leave the Guogong Mansion, and eighty percent of them went to see the "foreign family", otherwise they really dispatched the guards of the Hou Mansion or the Guogong Mansion, who has such a great ability, can take people silently and plunder in the blue sky and daylight, the matter has come to this point, the Jiang family is speechless, even if he can save his life, let alone his life, I am afraid that the Hou Mansion will force Huang Tao to leave the woman, so as to make a stand and not be affected more.
Even so, the reputation of Houfu must be irretrievable in a short period of time.
Although Yijing doesn't sympathize with the Jiang family, let alone worry about Huang Jiangyue's marriage, but Houfu is her foreign home after all, thinking of Mrs. Hou, her fourth aunt, and a few cousins, her mood is not easy.
Seeing that Yichen was full of worries, and looked a little more sad than his eldest cousin, Yijing changed the topic: "Why is my sister in the palace today?" ”
It turned out that this time the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet, the queen actually asked Yichen to assist in the operation, and left the princess out in the cold, under the pretext that the concubine Zhuo was pregnant on the side of the East Palace, and the princess should take care of Concubine Zhuo wholeheartedly.
As soon as Yijing heard this, his mind was tense, and when he saw that Yichen was still sitting quietly, he didn't see nervousness, he only felt deeply helpless, and hurriedly asked the queen what he said.
"The queen said that the rumors were very unbearable, and asked me to come to Houfu to ask carefully, what happened to the second aunt, and was ...... I went to the prefectural government, so that Kyoto was boiling......" Yichen said in a daze.
"There is a cousin-in-law, take my sister to the main hall." Yi Jing sighed strongly, and said to Yi Chen: "The second uncle is a subordinate of the East Palace, a guest of the prince, and the second uncle has a fate, there is such a child, the queen is worried about implicating the prince, so let the sister come to this trip in person, instead of directly sending the chamberlain or female official to ask the guilt, it is to give the Houfu face, the mother has a message, of course the sister has to tell the grandmother and the eldest uncle on behalf of the mother, today must ask the matter to the bottom and deal with it." ”
If it is Jiang's "fornication with others", not to mention that her own life is difficult to protect, Huang Tao is responsible for the crime, I am afraid that even Houfu will be implicated, and he has an improper family style and lax control, this matter can only be "framed by someone" in order to protect Houfu from criminal responsibility.
Zhao only reacted at this time, and his fear increased a little, and he hurriedly invited Yichen to the main hall.
Huang Tao is still struggling, still not explaining why the Jiang family went out, that is, the Huang family was forced to kneel on the ground by Mrs. Tai, and wiped her tears beside Jiang's side, Jiang is still stupid and stupid, laughing and crying for a while, and there is a bit of madness, because the maid and mother-in-law who traveled with her have already been "disposed of" by Huang Tao outside, and there are no other witnesses who can force the truth, although Jian Ninghou is anxious, but helpless, Mrs. Tai is even more angry, and her cold eyes are gradually full of coldness: "I don't need to ask, Since I refused to tell the truth, I must have a bad intentions of the adulteress, and she had a private meeting with someone outside, so that someone seized the opportunity to take revenge, dragging down the reputation of the Manchu family, and the Jiang family's crimes were exposed. ”
This is to give death to the Jiang family.
The Huang Tao brothers and sisters were in a hurry, and they begged in unison: "Mother can't." ”
"Can't? When things have come to this point, you still hide your sophistry and refuse to admit the truth, and I have no choice but to do so. Mrs. Tai was unmoved.
Yichen came to the main hall at this time, and when he saw that Huang was also kneeling on the ground, he was even more frightened, and after receiving the queen's mother's message, he couldn't bear to persuade Huang Tao: "Second uncle, mother, and mother also thought that there was something strange about this matter, so I asked me to ask clearly and carefully." ”
Mrs. Tai was even more impatient when she heard this, and pointed at Huang Tao and said, "Don't worry about it, you think this is our family matter, can you be good?!" ”
Huang Tao was also shocked in his heart, if the Jiang family was convicted of fornicating with others, she would not be able to save her life, and at present, she had to confess to the Liao family.
Only then did he kowtow and said: "It's all my son's fault, Qin Niang was instructed by my son...... Please also ask my mother to forgive ......"
The Jiang clan seemed to be a little sober at this time, looking at Huang Tao with blurred teary eyes, and was about to stop him in a hurry: "Second master...... Cannot...... The concubine knows that her innocence is ruined, and she has dragged you down......"
Huang Tao held Jiang's hand tightly: "Mother, it was the son who asked Qin Niang to go to Liao's house...... Because of his aunt, the son secretly corresponded with the Liao family......"
"The Liao family?" Mrs. Tai's voice became even sharper, and her eyebrows were raised like a full bow: "My good child! ”
"It's all the son's fault, it has nothing to do with the mother, and it was the son who asked the mother to hide it from her and not let the government arrange the car with her, and the mother didn't know." Huang Tao gritted his teeth, still not wanting to implicate the Huang family at this time.
"Daughter-in-law, do you know?" The eldest princess asked.
As soon as Huang Tao heard that Huang Tao couldn't hold it and confessed the truth, his heart sank early, but he didn't know what to do for a while, but Yichen said good things on the side: "Grandmother, grandmother, since the second uncle said that the mother didn't know, it should be like this, and the mother has always been a virtuous house......keeper."
The eldest princess looked at Yichen a little helplessly, about the Huang family's actions, she still hid it from her eldest granddaughter, because she knew that she had always been close to the Huang family, how could she believe that the Huang family was a wicked person without any evidence, if she told her the matter coldly, it might not be impossible to say anything, but it would be useless, and it was even more difficult to say anything at this time, just snorted lightly.
Huang also came back to his senses at this time, and even more tears poured into tears, acting more realistically, choked up and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know...... How could the second brother be so confused, that is, he wanted to deal with the Liao family, and he should also be his mother, and he should get his mother's permission first. ”
Huang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and only muttered to admit his mistake, looking like he regretted not being at the beginning.
"He's going to tell me? And when I don't know that he is unwilling! He has my mother-in-law in his eyes, and he regards the Liao family as a foreigner! Okay, very good, it's causing such a catastrophe right now......" Mrs. Huang was angry and hit the tea case again and again.
Jian Ninghou hurriedly helped his mother's hand: "Mother is angry, and her hand hurts carefully." Looking at Huang Tao's gaze, he was even more cold: "The matter has come to this, that is, the Jiang family was really framed, but the innocence is not guaranteed, if it is not for going out without permission, others will not have a chance to do it, and my mother still wants to think about how to deal with it." ”
"Hou Ye said well, Chen'er, you replied like this in front of the queen's mother, don't be in a hurry to get angry first, or think about how to deal with the aftermath."
"Out of the woman! How can I tolerate my innocent daughter-in-law, I will ask for guilt. Mrs. Huang gritted her teeth and said.
"I also ask my mother for forgiveness, Qin Niang is all because of her son's ......" Huang Tao's heart was cold, but he prostrated and kowtowed: "My son is willing to accept the punishment, but I can't ignore Qin Niang." ”
Mrs. Huang was furious: "You are going to be disobedient!" ”
Jianning Hou didn't seem to expect that Huang Tao would not abandon the Jiang family at this point, and his mind moved again - he has the heart of a tiger and a wolf, even if he can't deal with it for a while because he has no real evidence, it is a great hidden danger to stay in Houfu, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity......
"Mother, Jiang is the second brother's wife, even if he is taken away, it is up to the second brother to stay or abandon it, but Houfu will not allow a woman who has lost her innocence, if the second brother insists on refusing to divorce his wife, Houfu has no choice but to treat him for disobedience."
Huang Tao's fists clenched tighter, and he sneered in his heart, he didn't know what Jian Ninghou thought, but since he decided to confess to the Liao family and protect the Jiang family, of course he had already prepared, and at this time, there were three loud heads: "The son is not filial, the private aunt's mother's family is the first, and the mother's order is not followed, no matter how the mother and brother deal with it, Huang Tao is willing to lead." ”
"Okay, very good, good love and righteousness......" Mrs. Huang gasped heavily, and finally calmed down her anger a little, glanced at her eldest son, and made a decision at the moment: "You are a child of Houfu, but you don't care about the family, the Huang family can't tolerate you as a rebel, from now on, you Huang Tao and Jianning Houfu have nothing to do, Hou Ye, as the patriarch, find a day to open an ancestral hall, and talk about this matter with the clan elders." ”
This is to remove the Huang Tao family from the family tree.
Jiang Shi seemed to be completely awake at this time, his eyes were full of resentment, and he shot at Mrs. Tai like an arrow, his lips trembled violently, and he seemed to be unable to hold back and was about to scold, but was pulled down by Huang Tao: "My son is guilty." ”
The anxious is the Huang family - the second brother has already offended the third prince, if he is removed from the family tree and is not tolerated by the family, Yu's career will be even more difficult, and the second brother has been planning for many years, and finally found the position of the prince's guest......
Although Jianning Houfu has never been Huang Tao's help, but after all, this is the era of monarchs and ministers, fathers, sons and sons ruling the world, and those who are not allowed to be in the family have a bad name, it is not filial piety, if there is no special favor of the Son of Heaven, Ning is promoted in violation of the etiquette law, and he can no longer stand on the officialdom, not to mention that Huang Tao still bears the name of disobedience, and the Jiang family is even more infamous.
Seeing a complete defeat.
Huang's anxious, really unwilling for Huang Tao, at this time he didn't care too much, and he bowed down to three kowtows: "Mother, the second brother is anxious, so he is so ......" was thinking about how to persuade Huang Tao to abandon the Jiang family and protect the genealogy, but he was stopped by Huang Tao: "Sister, don't say much, your sister-in-law has fallen into such a situation, all because of me, she is my wife, the mother of my three sons, if I abandon her, I will be a husband in vain, a father in vain, although I am not filial to my mother because of this, fortunately, there are brothers under my mother's knees who are filial, and I am a little relieved." ”
At the moment, he didn't say much, but three more kowtows, said some nonsense about taking care of his meal, and retreated with the Jiang family, and moved out of Jianning Houfu that night, and even "took refuge" in the Liao family.
Even if he wears a green hat on his head and is charged with a crime, he can finally get a review of love and righteousness.
Jiang cried and gritted his teeth, cursing Huang's mother viciously, and when the three sons arrived in front of him, he stopped and hugged his son and cried: "It's all my fault, even the second master has been affected by the son, the second master really shouldn't ......"
Huang Tao sighed: "Madame, don't say it, as long as I am for a day, I will never let you be lonely." ”
Several sons also advised their mothers: "In any case, the safety of the family is the most important thing, and without the support of the waiting house, it may not be a good thing to support itself." ”
Jiang felt a little steady, and suddenly remembered the marriage of the niece of the Liao family: "I caused her to be burdened by such a thing." ”
Huang Tao sneered: "In such a situation, we don't have to choke and hide anymore, I will meet Lord Yin, what is he thinking, how can I not know, there is still a little possibility of this marriage, even if it doesn't work, Sanniang may not find a good match." ”
