Chapter 74: The first marriage has become a surviving person
Marriage book! This sudden, beautiful woman, spoke like thunder on the ground, and exploded in the front hall. Everyone looked at Mrs. Xie on the Danqi in unison, just waiting for her to read the marriage book and make a decision.
Mrs. Tai's eyes swept in the hall, and looked at everyone's expressions in their eyes, which was true and which was false, and when she said the word "pregnant", she asked herself clearly.
"Present the marriage papers." Mrs. Tai gave an order, and the housekeeper Yun Zhong hurriedly walked to Chuxiu's side and took the marriage book in her hand and presented it.
Mrs. Tai pretended to read the marriage book carefully: "Look at this handwriting, it looks very similar to Lord Hou." But this hand mud ......" She paused and looked into the hall: "You are all members of the family of various branches of my clan, and you have all seen the handwriting and seals of the Hou Ye, and the hand mud, please distinguish the authenticity of this marriage letter." ”
She motioned to Yun Zhong to hand the marriage book to everyone to circulate, and heard one of them: "We have all seen Hou Ye's handwriting, but this time we are all here to mourn Hou Ye, and I have never carried documents and letters on my body, so I really can't distinguish between authenticity and falsehood." ”
Mrs. Tai pondered for a moment when she heard this, and then said to Yun Zhong: "Go to Qingxinzhai to find the relevant documents, and take them over for comparison." ”
How do you know that Yun Zhong hesitated for a moment, and replied: "The old slave's nephew Yun Feng was also on standby in the mansion a few days ago, he is the head of Yunjin Village, and he directly obeyed the orders of the Hou Ye, and this time he also brought the documents presented to the Hou Ye, you can send him to ask." ”
"Then what's the delay, pass it on!"
After half a cup of tea, Yun Feng hurriedly entered the front hall. On the way, he had heard his uncle Yun Zhong tell him what had happened, so he didn't say much, took the marriage book and compared it carefully, and replied: "Mrs. Tai, you are all family members, this is indeed written by Hou Ye himself, and the mud on the top is also Hou Ye's fingerprints, which are exactly the same as the documents issued by Hou Ye on weekdays. ”
It's a coincidence. Yun Fengben is the general manager of the rice bank in Huainan District, although this position is neither high nor low, but it is better to hold real power in his hands, and there is oil and water to fish; Later, because he offended Yun Ci by asking to marry Xiu, he was transferred to be the head of Yunjin Village, although he had no real power in his hands, but this position was really promoted, and because he directly obeyed the orders of the Lixin Marquis, the weight of his words was more credible.
After all, there is only one family member in Yunjinzhuang, but there are more than a dozen rice managers in the north and south of the country.
When everyone saw the evidence, and the results of the comparison of letters and documents, they fell into deep thought, or speculation, or suspicion, or belief.
At this moment, Yun Xian, who had not said a word, suddenly spoke, and said, "Can you bring me the marriage book to show me?" ”
Yun Feng respectfully handed over the marriage letter.
Yun Xian only glanced at it, and then put forward the key: "Miss Fang just said that this marriage letter was written by Hou Ye before he died, so it has only been seven days. But when I looked at the paper, it had been yellowed for some years, and I wondered what the girl would explain. ”
Izumi had been prepared for this, and immediately replied: "Before the Hou Ye died, he took the household registration book of the slave and maid, and told the slave and maid that he must go to Master Xia to recognize him as his father-in-law. Later, Hou Ye casually removed a piece of paper from the household registration book and wrote this marriage book. If the third master doesn't believe it, he can send someone to take out the household registration book of the slave and maid, and you can see it at a glance. ”
There was no flaw in what she said, and Mrs. Tai also said: "The stakes are very high, since the third child has doubts, it doesn't hurt to take a look." Yun Zhong, send someone to invite someone from the Fangzhou Official Registration Department to come over and take a look. ”
This time, Yun Feng volunteered to make a trip.
Everyone waited, unwilling to let go of any mistakes in Xiu's words. After all, what she said is a big matter, if it is really Hou Ye's child and has been approved by Hou Ye, once he is born a male fetus, he will be undoubtedly the son of the world!
"Mother, son also have doubts!" Yun Qi saw that Yun Feng had been away for a long time and hadn't come back, so he couldn't wait, and said: "As far as I know, Izumi just had a miscarriage in August last year, and that child is indeed the eldest brother's. But now it's only been half a year, and I was diagnosed with two months of pregnancy, isn't this unreasonable? ”
As soon as these words came out, Izuku immediately sneered: "Second master, you also said that the slave maid was born in August last year, and it is the child of the Hou Ye." Isn't it normal for a slave to be raised for four months, and now she is two months pregnant? ”
Yun Qi gritted his teeth when he heard this, obviously feeling that there was something strange in it, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he thought about it, and only said indignantly: "Everyone in the house knows that you were degraded by the eldest brother to the Huan bathroom, how can the eldest brother spoil you again and let you conceive a child?" ”
Another sneer came, and Izumi was already coldly sarcastic: "Why was the slave and maid demoted to the Huan bathroom, doesn't the second master know?" Do you want a slave to tell the truth openly? ”
This question made Yun Qi feel shocked. Yes, Izumi was demoted to the Huan bathroom, and because of her frivolous behavior that day, she almost hurt her life, which is why she ......
Recently, the family members of all branches of Nanxi have gathered here, if they know that they have tried to molest the eldest brother...... Aren't the efforts made in recent days going to waste?
Yunqi carefully considered it, but had no choice but to change the topic, and said: "Even if the eldest brother reverts to favoring you, who can guarantee that the child in your belly is the eldest brother's?" ”
"Second Master!" Izumi said angrily: "You are not only insulting the slave maid, but also insulting the Hou Ye!" This marriage book has been written, can't the Hou Ye even tell his own heirs? You are insulting to his wisdom! ”
Chuxiu was in tears as she spoke, a little pitiful, and said: "Mrs. Tai, how did Master Hou treat the slave maid during his lifetime, even though outsiders have different opinions, the slave and maid know the most in their hearts. Thinking about the day when Mrs. fell into the water, Lord Hou was worried that Mrs. was poisoned, and he was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to the slave maid, so he specially dispatched secret guards to guard the Huan Washroom...... How can this sentiment be easily overstated? ”
The more she spoke, the more she couldn't stop crying, and it was already pear blossoms with rain and tears.
Mrs. Tai pretended to be moved, raised her hand to wipe her tears, and said, "Don't cry anymore, if Master Hou knows underground, how can he rest in peace?" She let out a long sigh: "Chuan Zhuying came over to ask." ”
Before long, Zhuying entered in a white suit, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have seen Mrs. Tai, the second master, the third master, and everyone as a family. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded and asked straight to the point: "On the night that the Hou Ye and his wife died, did he send a secret guard to the Huan bathroom to protect Xiu?" ”
Zhuying looked sad and replied without hesitation: "It's not just that day." In fact, since Miss Xiu was demoted to the Huan Bathroom, Master Hou has always sent secret guards to protect her in secret. ”
Zhuying is the personal guard who has followed Yun Ci for many years, and the weight of his words is incomparable. When the people saw him come out to testify, they believed him a little more. What's more, it is reasonable that the woman in front of her, who is called "out of Xiu", has captivated the country and the city, and it is reasonable to make Hou Ye's heart move.
Yun Wuxin is out of Xiu, and the end is this name, which is extremely ambiguous.
The hall was thinking about itself, but when he heard Yunqi, he opened his mouth to question: "This is not right!" As far as I know, on the day my sister-in-law fell into the water, the eldest brother had rumored that Xiu went to the torture hall for questioning, and he suspected that Xiu had something to do with the sister-in-law's falling into the water, so how could he sign the marriage letter? ”
This sentence, Izuku has been waiting for too long! She pinched her nails into the palm of her hand, and got up suddenly: "That day, the slave maid was summoned to the torture hall for questioning, and only the fourth aunt, Qu Shenyi, Zhuying, and Qianyun were present. Even Mrs. Tai didn't know, how did she dare to ask the second master? Listening to this tone, it seems that he still knows what Hou Ye asked that day? ”
"Is the second master secretly staring at the slave? Or are you secretly staring at Madame? Or, is he secretly staring at Hou Ye? Izumi's eyes narrowed slightly, faintly exuding coldness, coupled with this aggressive questioning, at this moment, Yunqi actually thought of Mrs. Tai.
He was dumbfounded in the midst of Izumi's questioning, and he regretted that he wanted to bite off his tongue. Of course, Yunqi couldn't admit that no matter who he was staring at in secret, it was not a righteous gentleman, so he had to reply: "Me too...... It's just speculation. ”
"Oh? The second master is really like a god, and the slave did go to the torture hall that day, but she was not summoned for questioning. As for what Hou Ye once said, the fourth aunt, Qu Shenyi, and Zhuying are all here, and the second master can ask. She said this plainly, but she seemed frank and open.
"I can testify to what happened in the torture hall that day." Since following Izuku into the front hall, Shen Yu has remained silent, and at this moment, he finally spoke, and introduced himself first: "Under Shen Yu, my father Wenchanghou." ”
"It turned out to be Shen Xiaohouye!" There was a sudden sound in the hall.
Shen Yu didn't make much politeness, and continued: "I am the son of the Holy Moth, and I am also half a brother and sister with King Mu, and I happened to be invited to King Mu's Mansion that night, so I also missed the matter of the torture hall. Later, someone desperately ordered someone to look for me, but because of the delay on the road, when I returned, his life was hanging by a thread. ”
Shen Yu's face was expressionless, as if he was just stating the facts: "I only then learned that the girl Xiu was in the torture hall that night, and my master Qu Fang personally diagnosed that she was pregnant, but she suddenly had an old illness at that time and was already dying, so she wanted to find me to make a matchmaker for this marriage letter, so that the Xiu girl could have a name and give birth to an heir smoothly." ”
As soon as these words came out, it added some credibility to this marriage. First, it is the pulse of Qu Fang, a famous doctor in the world, who is pregnant with her pregnancy, and there will be no mistake; Second, before Yun Ci died, he had confessed to his friend Shen Yu and personally corroborated the marriage.
At this point, several people with considerable weight have spoken, what else is there to question?
At this time, Yun Feng also entered with the official registration of Fangzhou, and the official registration chief personally identified that the household registration of Zhuxiu was true. And, when she opened her household register, there was exactly a page missing in the end, and the creases that were removed fit the marriage book.
"Now, do you still have doubts about this marriage certificate?" Mrs. Tai looked at the faces of everyone in the hall and asked.
"Mother, I'm ......" Yunqi spoke again, but was glanced at by Mrs. Tai. How could she not know Yunqi's thoughts, this is clearly to expose Xiu's true identity! If you really teach people to know that Chu Xiu was a woman in the dust, then this household registration book is undoubtedly forged, and it will also discredit Yunfu.
How could Mrs. Tai let Yun Qi say it, so she vaguely said to everyone in the hall: "The descendants of the Yun family, since you should be proud of the Yun family, don't say those rumors that have ruined the prestige of the Lixin Hou Mansion, so as not to dirty everyone's ears." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yun Qi shut up, and now he can tell the weight of the matter. If he continues to rip it off, he is afraid that his reputation will not be guaranteed, and he himself will suffer.
Mrs. Rantai's words fell on the ears of the rest of the people, and they also had their own explanations, some people thought of the bizarre death of Yun Ci and his wife overnight; Some people secretly said that there was a dispute over the matter of the raid......
Seeing that the hall was silent, Mrs. Tai sighed heavily again, and said to Shen Yu: "Master Shen, you are a close friend of Ci'er before his death, and you are the son of Emperor Tongsheng, so it is appropriate to be this matchmaker." Today, please sign this wedding book in front of everyone. ”
As soon as the words fell, the housekeeper Yun Zhong had already come with pen, ink, paper, inkstone and red clay. Shen Yu took the pen on the desk, shook his right hand, and finally solemnly signed his name one by one, and pressed his hand again. This move officially indicates that the marriage certificate is in full effect.
Yun Zhong put the marriage book in the hands of Mrs. Tai again, she lowered her eyebrows and rubbed for a moment, tears finally flashed in her eyes, and she sighed to everyone: "Three days later, all the people in the mansion and the side branches from all over the country will come to see Mrs. Hou!" ”
