Chapter 204 Exposed
"Say it!" Madame Xiao frowned.
Su's mother looked at the few maids and the old mother in the house in a panic.
Mrs. Xiao waved her hand to let everyone out, and Su's mother bowed her head and said with tears in her eyes: "The slave should be damned, I didn't take a good look at the third and fourth misses, the third miss, the third miss she is pregnant." β
"What ββ!" Mrs. Xiao stood up suddenly, and then sat down again, "Who is it?" Even if there are many people in our house during this time, the access control of Zhilan Courtyard is also very strict, and the foreign man is not able to enter, what is the problem? β
"It's Liu Yongqi! The third miss said that Liu Yongqi has always coveted the eldest lady, but unfortunately the eldest lady never gave her a chance, and did not go to Liu's mansion at all, Liu Yongqi was very angry and tortured the second miss in every possible way, and the second miss often had bruises and purple scars, but the second miss loved face and refused to ask Mrs. for help, and the Liu family saw it and became more and more unscrupulous......
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that her face turned pale, Zhao Yulan's killing was enough to make the reputation of the Xiao Mansion greatly damaged, if Xiao Xuanyun's matter spread again, the Xiao family would no longer be able to gain a foothold in the capital.
Wen Jin was also a little flustered on the side, she knew what reputation meant in this society, and she also knew the usual methods, why was this Xiao Juanyun so confused?
But Wen Jin is not ready to meddle in this matter, and she doesn't want to care, she is soft-hearted, and the second is the thinking of modern society, she doesn't think that if something like this happens, she should pay the price of her life, she doesn't care about it, but it adds to the chaos.
Mrs. Xiao also knew that this matter could not be discussed with Wen Jin, she immediately made a decision and sent Xiao San to pick up Xiao Qiyun home, Mrs. Liu still refused to agree, the mother who passed the word finished speaking arrogantly, and was squeezed by Xiao San for a few words, she ran back to sue her master in a hurry, Mrs. Liu was used to Xiao Qiyun, and even threatened: "If you have the ability to take people away, don't send them back." β
When Xiao San heard this, he sneered: "As long as you don't cry to pick it up, we don't plan to send it back." β
Mrs. Liu didn't understand what was going on, but Xiao San was determined to win, so naturally there was a way, Xiao Qiyun came back, and when she saw Mrs. Xiao's tense face, and the appearance of Mama Qing beside her holding the family law, her eyes flashed uncomfortably.
"Get on your knees!" Mrs. Xiao said majestically.
Xiao Qiyun still wanted to be dying, and said stiffly: "What did I do, do you want me to kneel?" Madam, woo, I have no mother! β
"Shut up! You're embarrassed to mention the word 'mother'! Zhao Yulan, a slut, a murderer, the emperor has stripped her of her life, and your father also wrote back to remove her cards from the Xiao family, even a few of you will be cheap slaves in the future, what qualifications do you have to cry here? β
Xiao Qiyun was frightened, she was pressed to the ground by two rough envoys, and argued forcefully: "No, you can't do this to us, I, I-"
Mrs. Xiao slapped the table and asked sharply, "Say, how did you send someone to plot against the eldest lady?" "At this time, Mrs. Xiao, Ah Lai and Wen Jin can naturally figure out all the joints, Wen Jin is in distress in the Bodhisattva Temple, it is Xiao Qiyun who is the mastermind, they interrogated a few people they caught the day before, and now the case is revealed.
"I didn'tβ" Xiao Qiyun stubbornly resisted.
"Take someone!" Aunt Sun was dragged in, and then her cousin was brought in.
Aunt Sun is quite hard, but unfortunately that cousin is a soft egg, asking what to say, and proving them to death.
In order to please her husband, Xiao Qiyun tried every possible means to trick Wen Jin into Liu's mansion, but when she saw that the trick failed, she resorted to kidnapping, but she didn't expect it to fail.
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she waved her hand to let Mama Qing be executed: "The sluts are also sluts, and they actually came up with such a deed!" β
Xiao Qiyun was already injured on her body, and Mama Qing's stick, which looked light and fluttering, was very painful when she went down, and there were only ten sticks, and Xiao Qiyun fainted.
Mrs. Xiao was so angry that she took out the means of tidying up the housework when she was a girl, and asked people to splash Xiao Qiyun up with water, and continued to interrogate: "Is it also your dirty idea to deliberately take Juan Yun to Liu's Mansion?" β
"It's not!" Xiao Qiyun saw Mama Qing coming over, she was really scared, and cried sadly, "It was Liu Yongqi who forced me to do ......."
At this time, Xiao Qiyun didn't know who to hate. In terms of appearance, she is not bad, but it depends on who she compares with, Liu Yongqi's several concubines and maids, all of them have outstanding appearances, they are all stronger than her, the month when she just got married, Liu Yongqi was still with her every day, and now, there are only three or four days a month, sometimes drunk, vomiting and making trouble. This guy was born in martial arts, he has a lot of strength, he was drunk and didn't take it lightly, the first time Xiao Qiyun resisted, but the next day he was almost all green, and he lay in bed for half a month. That time, Xiao Qiyun's bridal maid Lan Lan wanted to send a letter to Mrs. Xiao, but was stopped at the door by Mrs. Liu's cronies' mother, and the mother warned in a weird manner: "Don't be busy complaining, go and ask the eldest young grandmother first, this is a big problem, do you want the uncle to take a break, or is someone from the Xiao family to take her back and leave with the eldest young master?" β
"You, youβ" Lan Lan trembled with anger, but couldn't speak, and finally, she went back to complain to her master.
Xiao Qiyun listened to Lan Lan's words, and burst into tears at that time, even if she was reconciled, instead of being taken home, she couldn't accept such an ending, it was better for Wen Jin to be an old girl and not get married. If someone wants to marry one day, and can find a better family, she will be ruined.
Xiao Qiyun actually endured it, that time, if Mrs. Xiao interfered, the Liu family would definitely be restrained, but unfortunately, the first step was not stepped on when she got married, and in the second step, she made the same mistake and went out to make a scene, the Liu family was already in the mud at the bottom of the valley, and she was afraid that something would happen, that is, the gossip in the capital, for them, it was unbearable pain, besides, Mrs. Xiao had to protest to Mrs. Liu for the sake of face, Xiao Qiyun is not her own daughter, she must have face greater than family affection, will never give up, easily compromise and retreat, Xiao Qiyun and Li are not good to remarry, will Liu Yongqi marry easily? The eldest son of his Liu family, he can't take a concubine as his wife, right? What's more, Xiao Yi is still guarding Liu Guangzhong's rear, and it is still possible to do something to make Liu Guangzhong uncomfortable.
Xiao Qiyun endured this again, and the Liu family looked down on her, and in the following days, she suffered more and more grievances, and even several of Liu Yongqi's concubines slowly climbed on her head.
The more miserable Xiao Qiyun became, the more she admired Wen Jin's idea, and even rejected two men with prominent family backgrounds one after another, preferring to become an old girl rather than get married.
At that time, she just wanted to jump out of the house, go to Liu's house, and see how those concubines lived in the hands of Mrs. Liu, and then she understood that Mrs. Xiao and Wen Jin were already very polite to her sisters.
It's a pity that Xiao Qiyun has never been used to introspecting herself, and no one has taught her to return to the right path, next, instead of getting closer to Mrs. Xiao, in order to get the support of her mother's family and compete with the Liu family, she is more compromised, hoping to use this trick to get Liu Yongqi's favor, Liu Yongqi became more and more bold, and took advantage of the drunkenness to let Xiao Qiyun find a way to get Wen Jin into Liu's mansion. Xiao Qiyun didn't agree at first, but she couldn't resist Liu Yongqi's poisonous hands, and she was beaten again and again, so that in the end, she had no principles left, and she just wanted to live in peace.
Xiao Qiyun lost his will, began to be negative, and his requirements for Liu Yongqi could be delayed, Liu Yongqi also thought of other ways, but Wen Jin easily did not go out, and it was often the Qian Mansion when he went out, the distance was near, and it was in the noble residential area of the city, he had no chance to do it at all, and in the end, he felt that it was better to use Xiao Qiyun's hand, so he made a wish to Xiao Qiyun, as long as he could get Wen Jin, in the future, he would live a good life with Xiao Qiyun and never beat her again.
Xiao Qiyun believed it to be true, thinking that in the future, she would not only be able to get a man's heart, but also press Wen Jin under her, she was very excited, and invited Wen Jin to Liu's mansion for various reasons, the conspiracy failed, and she actually came up with a kidnapping trick, almost exposing herself, Liu Yongqi knew about it, and he was furious, but it had come to this point, if he beat Xiao Qiyun again, there would definitely be no benefit, at this moment, Xiao Juanyun, who had just grown up, entered his eyes, before, he had barely looked at Sister Xiao Qiyun, but he didn't expect that there was a strange flower hidden in it, Especially Liu Yongqi is psychopathic, he is more interested in the youthfulness of Juan Yun, he pleases Juan Yun, it is okay to go back or twice, and as soon as the number of times is more, Xiao Qiyun can see it, she does not allow Juan Yun to go to Liu's Mansion, but there are a lot of things in Xiao Mansion in those days, Xiao Juan Yun and Xiao Ayayun don't know what to do, they are coaxed by a few pieces of jewelry and clothes, and they often send them to the door by themselves.
The three sisters are not well-behaved, Xiao Qiyun's words, the two sisters turned a deaf ear. The matter is all clear at this point, poor Xiao Juanyun is only thirteen years old, and a good flower has not yet opened, so it is destroyed.
Mrs. Xiao wrote a letter about what happened in the capital through the county lord of Yujie, sandwiched it in the documents of the Ministry of War, and quickly sent it to ***, Xiao Qiyun and the three sisters, and Xiao Yi had to speak to deal with it.
In order not to cause rumors, Mrs. Xiao gave Xiao Juanyun safflower soup, she was on menstrual leave for more than ten days, because the body had just started the monthly letter, Su's mother was afraid that she would stain the bed, and remembered the day very accurately.
Xiao Yi was furious, he had already transferred his hatred for Zhao Yulan to these three, and now he felt even more embarrassed, and replied to Xiao Yuchen to preside over the housework on his behalf, cancel the names of Xiao Qiyun and the three from the Xiao family tree, and then send them back to the Zhao family.
The Zhao family was almost wiped out, and there were only a few distant clansmen left, all of them were the Zhao family's relatively honest and unsatisfactory lives, how could they have the financial resources to settle Xiao Qiyun and three?
The servants of the Xiao family let the three of them get out of the car, and they drove the carriage away, Xiao Qiyun (she has been revoked of the right to call this name, this article will say so for the time being) did not expect that she would be in such a situation, at the door of the Zhao family ancestral hall, and her two sisters hugged their heads and cried.
After the Zhao family made a fortune, a new ancestral hall was built, and now the imperial court has sealed it, this ancestral hall is the previous one, narrow and dark, ventilated on all sides, no one in the Zhao family has any extra houses to place them, Xiao Qiyun three, had to live in the backyard temporarily.
There are no servants, even if the Zhao family gives some rice noodles, the three of them will not make it, on the first day, they almost burned the house, and the noodles made still can't be eaten - down to the pot, I don't know how to stir, paste, and moreover, thin thin, thick thick, some have been cooked, and some have not yet been cooked.
Hungry, they finally finished eating the contents of the pot.
The three young ladies Jiao, in the ancestral hall of the Zhao family, where no one cares, in addition to crying, is to toss how to eat, such days, they already feel that it is bitter to the end, on the eighth day, there was a man in the ancestral hall, took a bag of snacks, and wanted to do something to Xiao Juanyun, fortunately, Xiao Qiyun has a little martial arts foundation, and fought with people with a burning stick, and finally he was injured a little, and finally drove the gangster out.
"Sister, woo, what's the other way to liveβ" Xiao Ayayun had the most tears.
Xiao Xuanyun was stunned and thought of something else.
"Second sister, woo" Xiao Ayayun automatically resumed the order of the three of them.
"Don't cry, eldest sister, the Liu family didn't say that you were not allowed to go back, why are we here to suffer?"
Xiao Qiyun was very hesitant, and Xiao Ayayun and Xiao Juanyun both looked at her with a look of hope.
Without the support of her mother's family, and the Liu family is such a group of perverts, Xiao Qiyun is very worried about the future, but Xiao Xuanyun and Xiao Ayayun don't see it that way, all they see is Liu Yongqi's pretending to be a kind face, although they know that Liu Yongqi will beat Xiao Qiyun when he is drunk, but their cognition is that the "brother-in-law" is too drunk and can't control his emotions.
In Xiao Xuanyun's heart, she even hated Mrs. Xiao for losing the child in her belly, otherwise, Liu Yongqi would definitely treat her better.
"Eldest sister, why don't you let me go with Aya Yun and beg Mrs. Liu."
Xiao Qiyun shook his head: "Let's go together, their family, if they really divorce me, it can be regarded as an ending, it is better than hanging like this." β
Xiao Ayayun's face immediately showed a smile, she felt that things would definitely not be so bad.
The three of them left the house, they still had jewelry on their heads, and they also had good clothes on their bodies, which was also the reason why the Zhao family was willing to accept them. Xiao Qiyun was also blindsided at the beginning, and he didn't think of selling jewelry and hiring people.
Xiao Qiyun and the three of them packed up and dressed up, went out to find an aunt of the Zhao family, asked her to help hire a carriage, and went straight to the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu received the report from her subordinates and sneered: "If you have a kind, don't come back-" Before she could say anything other unpleasant, Liu Yongqi had already come over with a black face and asked her subordinates to take Xiao Qiyun into the door.
"You're just soft-hearted!" Mrs. Liu frowned and said unhappily, "They were kicked out of the Xiao family, why don't you take this opportunity to make room for ......"
"Don't forget Daddy's letter asking us to be kind to them."
"Your fatherβ"
"It's okay for the surnamed Xiao to humiliate himself, and he definitely won't watch us do such a thing."
"Your father has gone to the reclamation now, so why are you afraid of the surname Xiao?"
"Mother, if you want to add sin, why should you do it? It's better to have more than one thing now, so don't we raise a few idlers to eat? β
"But she's famous!"
"It's just for a while, Mother, I have a way."
Mrs. Liu kept a calm face and said no more objections, Liu Yongqi turned around and walked out of the gate.
Seeing Liu Yongqi come out to pick her up in person, Xiao Qiyun was moved, just when she looked at Liu Yongqi affectionately, she saw that the man looked at her like an enemy, which made her afraid and confused.
Coincidentally, a letter from Liu Guangzhong arrived the next day, and after Mrs. Liu and her son read it, they sent Xiao Juanyun and Xiao Ayayun back to the Zhao family, and at the same time, sent a matchmaker to ask the Zhao family for marriage.
Liu Yongqi wanted to marry Xiao Juanyun as his wife and marry Xiao Qiyun, which made Xiao Juanyun overjoyed and felt that he had finally landed.
The rest of the Zhao family are the poorest and most honest families in the family, and no one can preside over the overall situation at the moment, whatever the Liu family says, the matchmaker came twice, the marriage was decided, and a few days later, a beautiful engagement banquet was held.
The matter of sisters and concubines is very rare in this society, and this matter once again made public opinion in the capital in an uproar, not only the high-ranking families in the capital, but even the ordinary people are talking about it, and they don't understand why the Liu family still wants Xiao Qiyun to be the eldest daughter-in-law, and they openly marry a woman like Xiao Juanyun who was expelled from the family and didn't even have a surname as a wife.
The wedding date is set very tightly, and they will be married in a month.
Not long after the Liu family, they gave Xiao Juanyun a dowry, this time people's eyes can be shocked to fall out, they actually gave a luxury dowry of sixty-four lifts, and the vast gift team can simply dazzle the eyes of the people in the capital, and even Emperor Yongchang was shocked.
Only then did the emperor realize that he had not moved at the root of the Liu family.
Yes, the Liu family is still very rich, and they still live a luxurious life of paper obsession and drunkenness, which makes Emperor Yongchang feel very uncomfortable, hum, it's okay to save your lives, but it still makes you feel better, which is against my original intention.
Who can tolerate the fact that those who have assassinated themselves remain at large?
The secret decree was quickly delivered, and Wei Yuanhou began to investigate whether Liu Guangzhong had done anything illegal now.
Besides, in the capital, Xiao Juanyun got married, although the dowry is those dowry, but the sixty-four lifts are still eye-catching, and women are not curious, and public opinion has risen to a new level. This time, Xiao Mansion is not ashamed, anyway, those three women have nothing to do with this side, it is Liu Mansion that feels ashamed, Mrs. Liu didn't even send out an invitation, and the luxury dowry and the desertion of the door were actually seen together, so that Xiao Juanyun, who got off the sedan chair, was not disappointed.
Mrs. Liu didn't dare to go out for a long time, and even Prince Ren and Princess Ren were involved, and she hated her mother's family in front of her the most. The reason why the Liu family is willing to do such a strange thing is naturally inseparable from Xiao Yi in ***, Liu Guangzhong has had a good life for a long time, and now he has been demoted to a high level, and from time to time he will not be able to control the behavior of enjoyment, and many food and clothing have transgressions, Xiao Yi has been paying close attention to him, and at this time he wrote a note, he wanted to impeach Liu Guangzhong for overstepping the system.
