Chapter 19: Reparation
That year, the fourth brother was assassinated on the street, the second brother was far away from the border and the whip was out of reach, the third brother only knew elegance and was not practical, his father was seriously ill and could not see things, and all the burden fell on the eldest brother alone.
Cousin-in-law Empress Dowager Min has never been of the same mind with them, she united with the ambitious clan nobles, instigated the tyrannical young emperor and her aunt to oppose her, the aunt was already old and sick, and without help, she gradually could not control the situation in the harem, and was forced to have a stroke and loss of speech by the Empress Dowager Min and the young emperor's mother and son. It is not easy for the eldest brother to support the situation alone, and at this moment, someone made a big fuss about the son of Geng Mama robbing the people's daughter to death, occupying the Huangzhuang and accepting bribes, impeaching the father and the eldest brother, and even her reputation was torn to the ground.
At the beginning of this incident, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the impeachment of Fu's various crimes flew like snowflakes, and Fu Lin, the eldest brother's favorite eldest son and the most outstanding of the next generation of Fu's children, entered the palace to visit his aunt, and was calculated to accuse him of adultery with the female officials in the aunt's palace, and was stabbed to death in the palace on the spot. When his father heard the news, he vomited blood and fell unconscious, his eldest sister-in-law committed suicide, and his eldest brother had gray hair overnight.
Later, the second brother was forced to suddenly raise troops in desperation, but was ruthlessly shot to death by the bed crossbow, and then the father and eldest brother, the third brother, and several sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces all died, and the clan was separated, leaving only the mother and a young nephew to escape their lives, and she survived and lived in the Lin'an palace without dignity, allowing Yu Wenyou to humiliate and bully and swallow her anger.
Thinking of the bloodshed of that year, Mingzhu couldn't help but shudder. Those days were so terrible that she couldn't watch it happen again. Mingzhu clenched her hands into fists and firmly pressed her heart to the place where her heart was, she would no longer only know how to enjoy the glory that her family brought her and not know to take responsibility.
On the second day, Mrs. Fu Cui came early, and when she saw Mingzhu, she hugged her "heart, liver, flesh, and treasure" and cried, carefully touching her face and asking if it hurt.
Cui's is nearly sixty years old, not young, usually pampered, if it weren't for the distress and worry about his beloved daughter, how could he not have rushed here overnight. Mingzhu looked at the love in Cui's eyes, couldn't help but have a sour nose, took advantage of the situation to bury her head in Cui's arms, and tightly hugged Cui's fat waist that had been blessed and coquettish: "Mother, my whole body hurts, it hurts to death!" Fortunately, I was dexterous, otherwise I would have been beaten to death by him! You don't see how fierce he really is. He stood up and pointed to his swollen and bruised face, and said very exaggeratedly: "I actually removed my mandible alive!" But if you have a little pity and love for me in your heart, how can you be so heavy-handed? ”
Cui's heart was so distressed that she twitched, she only had Mingzhu in her forties, what kind of baby she had, she was really afraid of melting in her mouth, and she was afraid of flying in her hand, so she couldn't wait to take off the moon in the sky and give it to Mingzhu. She was not optimistic about this family affair in the first place, but Mingzhu wanted to marry alive or dead, and she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself several times in front of her, and she felt sorry for her daughter before she relented and agreed.
Now Mingzhu is not willing to marry, of course she has no opinion, she only hates Yu Wenyou's black hand and touched her heart and liver, so she has to scold bitterly: "This ruthless and unrighteous thief completely ignores your past affection for him, I said a long time ago that he is a white-eyed ......wolf who can't be raised."
Mingzhu listened happily, pretending to be delicate and nestled in Cui's arms and refused to get up, until she heard her fourth brother Fu Ming say loudly outside: "Mother, King Lin'an came to apologize." Only then did he sit up and look at Cui Shi pitifully and pretending to be afraid: "I don't want to see him." ”
Cui Shi didn't care whether King Lin'an was the first emperor's flesh and blood, and at this moment he only regarded him as an enemy, and immediately reprimanded angrily with a gloomy face: "Your sister is injured like this, where do I have any intention to meet outsiders?" Don't bother me! He cried again: "I only had this daughter when I was in my forties, and when I was old, I had a difficult pregnancy, and when I was born, I almost lost most of my life, and I finally raised it. This is still so many people following, otherwise I don't know what will happen. This is my wife's life......"
Mingzhu took a handkerchief to wipe Cui's tears, and comforted her considerately: "Mother, don't shed tears for that kind of person, be careful to break your eyes, it's not worth it." ”
Cui Shi looked at her colorful face, couldn't help but be afraid, glared at her and raised his hand to slap her ass: "Kill you unconscious thing!" To raise you is to raise the scourge! If you had listened to me and your father, why did you end up like this? You deserve to be beaten to death! ”
Mingzhu has never been beaten by Cui's finger since she was a child, and she was stunned when she suddenly received this slap, and when she woke up, she cried regardless of it, half sad and half joyful, and a little coquettish and stupid - it is really good to be able to go back to the old time and accompany her parents and relatives!
Cui Shi saw her crying sadly, and she was also sad, and the mother and daughter cried so vividly and miserably. The cry spread outside, causing the two men standing outside to look very exciting.
Yu Wenyou was very embarrassed and regretted, he was a big man, and it was already very embarrassing to be divorced by the woman, so it was okay to chase after him and question Fu Mingzhu, and he was so provoked by her that he fought with her in front of so many people. Those who know know that he was forced to bear it by Fu Mingzhu's unreasonableness, and those who don't know that just listening to this mother and daughter crying so miserably, they can't help but think that he is so bad and how much he is not human. Not to mention the bad reputation, let alone taking advantage of it, it is too impulsive.
Just as he was about to say something, Fu Mingzheng on the side had already saluted him with a smile and pleaded guilty: "My mother and sister are both ignorant women, and if I have suffered a little grievance, I only know how to cry endlessly, and I don't know what the truth is." I also hope that the prince has a lot, and don't have the same knowledge as them. ”
Yu Wenyou's heart sank straight down, everyone in the capital knew that Fu Mingzheng had a ruthless and eccentric temperament, and the more he smiled brightly, the more poisonous his ideas became. Originally, he mishandled this matter himself, but when he came, he also explained that he was here to make amends, and he really wanted to make up for the relationship between the two parties. Mrs. Fu pointed out that he was not afraid of scolding Huai, and Fu Mingzheng pointed at his nose and scolded him or fought with him, he was afraid that Fu Mingzheng would have such a polite and low posture - this shows that the Fu family has made up their minds and will not continue this family business. The more polite they treated him, the more dangerous he became, and the next thing they would probably stealthily take his life.
