Chapter 75: Open Fight and Secret Fight
In this feudal society, a woman's cheating is a big crime, and if it is exposed, this life will be ruined.
"Don't you wonder who the father of the child is?"
Chu Nantang closed his eyes, with a little tiredness on his face: "One day, I will know, don't rush this time." ”
Looking at the way he looks, I think he probably already has the answer in his heart.
When I woke up the next morning, Chu Nantang was gone, I hurriedly put on my clothes and got up, and I was relieved to see him feeding the horses in the yard.
"Nantang."
He turned back and smiled at me, and I stepped forward to feed the horse with him, sighing, "I thought you were gone." ”
"How so? Even if you're leaving, I'll say hello to you before I leave. ”
"Well, you are the same, if you leave, you must not go quietly alone, at least tell me."
He nodded, I finished washing, and prepared breakfast with Qin Sang.
Qin Sang said embarrassedly: "Young Master Chu, this coarse tea and light rice, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Chu Nantang smiled: "How come?" Your craftsmanship is so good that even precious ingredients may not make it delicious. ”
After eating. Speaking of recruiting long-term workers, Chu Nantang responded in one mouthful: "When is it convenient for you to come, I will talk to the housekeeper." ”
Zhang Jin thanked me again and again and said to me, "Zen heart, you are really our lucky star. ”
It made me a little embarrassed, Chu Nantang was leaving, I sent him to the entrance of the village, he led the horse slowly, and he was reluctant.
"I don't know when I will come to see you again when I go back this time."
"If you have time, you can come at any time."
Between us, it is like a real old friend, but only I understand in my heart that the feelings that have quietly bred have turned into a silent sigh.
I don't know when I started to feel lonely after staying in one place for a long time, so I wanted to go back to see Master and them.
said goodbye to Qin Sang and went back to the Chu family in the town first.
Mrs. Chu naturally didn't want to see me, but now that Chu Nantang and Jiang Rongwen have become married, they don't seem to have too many concerns.
In the blink of an eye, it is the beginning of April, the season of blooming flowers, the pavilion in the courtyard is just right, and the fragrant tea and fruit points are placed, you can sit for an afternoon, and you don't feel bored.
I told Chu Nantang what I thought in my heart, and he sighed lightly: "I'm afraid that this will take another year and a half." ”
"Yes, if there is anything you want to say to the old master, I will tell you for you, and by the way, I will help you see Xiaobai."
He took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled lightly: "Okay, stay a few nights, I'll prepare for you." ”
"No need ......"
"Why not? The road is so far away, you are walking around alone, the situation is chaotic, you also think about me, don't let me worry too much. ”
I swallowed the bitterness in my throat and replied softly: "Okay, thank you Nantang." ”
I haven't seen Mo Xiang for a long time, I slept with her that night, and she was so worried that she wouldn't say anything when asked.
"Mo Xiang, when you come back this time, why did you change your personality?"
Mo Xiang pursed her lips and smiled: "Everyone will change, and my sister is the same, she is becoming more and more calm." ”
"yes, we're all adults, Moxiang...... Marry those you like, and don't wait for those who don't belong to you. ”
Mo Xiang leaned into my arms: "Sister, you still talk about others, don't you do the same to Young Master Chu?" You know that you can't wait for this person anymore, but you still wait silently. ”
"I'm different from you, I'm going to leave sooner or later...... "Leave this world, and return to your own world."
"Don't worry, sister, I'm not like you, what I like, I will definitely get it at all costs. My sister has been living in this house for a few days, so I'm waiting to see a good show! ”
I'll listen. Suddenly rolled over from the bed and pulled Mo Xiang: "What do you want to do?" Mo Xiang, don't do anything stupid, if you set yourself on fire, no one can save you! ”
"Sister, you are like this, you are afraid of here and there, so Young Master Chu married someone else, I don't want to be like you, I can't even keep the person I love the most."
"How do you tell you that you will understand? Shen Qiushui he ......" I secretly gasped: "He is not your lover, Mo Xiang, listen to me, forget him." ”
Mo Xiang was bored by hearing this, turned over and fell asleep: "I'm sleepy, my sister should rest early." ”
In the past few days, the Chu family has not been stable, and I can't stop worrying, I am staring at Mo Xiang, for fear that she will do something.
I walked in the garden with Chu Nantang and told him: "When I'm not there, you help me watch more silent incense, her temperament is always easy to cause trouble." ”
Chu Nantang replied lightly: "This girl's temper is indeed a little rushed, don't worry, after all, she is your sister, I will help you take care of her." ”
"She has no malice, but she has suffered a lot, so she thinks that what she wants is what she worked hard to get back, which is not wrong, and sometimes I envy her."
Dare to love and hate, as long as you identify a goal, no matter how big the price is, you will not back down.
Chu Nantang smiled, thought for a while and said, "You and I are both people who are more rational than emotional. Good and not good. ”
"Nantang, you are rational, and I am an emotional person."
He looked at me puzzled, and I said, "When you're really in love with someone, you can't be rational at all." ”
"What about you?"
"Because I know you, I chose to leave, just because I don't want to embarrass you."
"I'm sorry ......"
"Look, why do you say that? You didn't feel sorry for me, and you didn't do anything wrong. ”
When I was passing the arch bridge, I saw a little maid running over in a hurry.
And shouted: "Young master! The young master is not good!! ”
I exchanged glances with Chu Nantang and greeted him: "What's the matter?" ”
"Young lady, she had a miscarriage, and now Grandma Sun has gone to ask the doctor to come over. Madame will call you over now. ”
After hearing this, Chu Nantang and I rushed over as fast as we could, only to see Mo Xiang kneeling on the ground, and Mrs. Chu staring at her with hatred.
"Mother, what's going on?" Chu Nantang asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. Chu was so angry that she lost her mind, and pointed at Mo Xiang tremblingly: "This person is a slut, he actually poisoned the fetal pill and poisoned my grandson!" ”
Mo Xiang has an arrogant temperament, and she will not admit what she has not done to death, so when faced with Mrs. Chu's accusation, she subconsciously refuted it.
"I didn't! I need to put poison in the tocolytic?! Besides, what proof do you have that I poisoned? ”
At this time, Ping'er rushed over and knelt in front of Mrs. Chu. With a sad face, he pointed to the incense.
"Madam, ma'am, you have to make decisions for the young lady! It was the young lady who was poisoned by this slut who had a miscarriage, and I clearly watched her sneaky in the kitchen early in the morning, blaming me for not paying more attention to let her ...... Who knows, this slut is so bold that even the little young master dares to poison him! ”
"Ping'er, don't talk nonsense! When did you see me sneaky? What's strange about me going to the kitchen, but it's you, you are responsible for this matter of delivering medicine and decoction, isn't it your biggest suspicion?! ”
Ping'er cried, "Madam. You see Mo Xiang's blood spewing people, I am loyal to the young lady, how can I do anything to hurt the young lady?! ”
After a while, the doctor also rushed over, and Chu Nantang said: "Don't quarrel first, let the doctor take a good look, as for who is the murderer, no one should suspect anyone without evidence." ”
Mrs. Chu looked at Chu Nantang with a puzzled expression: "Nantang, it was your child who was killed, how can you still be so casual?" Put the incense in the firewood room first, and wait for the matter to be investigated, and then deal with it. ”
Mo Xiang struggled: "Sister." I didn't do anything like that! You have to trust me. ”
"Silent incense." I stepped forward and knelt in front of Mrs. Chu and pleaded for Mo Xiang: "Mrs. Chu, Mo Xiang said that she didn't do it, then she definitely didn't do it, I can vouch for Mo Xiang, please Mrs. Chu to see!" ”
"Shut up!" Mrs. Chu raised her hand and gave me a slap: "Before you come back, this kind of thing will not happen at all." As soon as you came back, Rong Wan had a miscarriage, who knows if you instructed your sister to do this kind of unseemly deed. ”
I stared at Mrs. Chu with wide eyes, a little sad. I never thought that there would be such a big disagreement with Chu Nantang's family, the so-called love for Wu and Wu, and I never thought that one day, I would have a dispute with his family.
Seeing that things had developed to this point, Chu Nantang stepped forward and pulled me up and protected me behind him, with an unprecedentedly firm attitude.
"Mother, let me say it again, before the matter is clarified, none of the people in the house can move. I believe in Zen mind, and she's definitely not going to do such a thing. ”
Mrs. Chu's eyes were red: "Nantang, why are you always looking at outsiders?" Now lying on the bed, the man whose life and death are uncertain. It's your wife! ”
Chu Nantang sighed lightly: "Since she is my wife, then what to do is up to me." ”
"You mean, let the mothers leave this matter alone?"
"The child has no such intentions, and the child also knows that his mother cares about me and is for my good, but this matter is very important, and you can't just wronged people."
Mrs. Chu nodded: "Okay, good!" I will give you three days, Rong Wan is your wife, you should have the responsibility as a husband, and get justice for your wife and dead children! ”
After that, Mrs. Chu walked into the house to check on Jiang Rongwu's situation.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the doctor came out of the house, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The young lady is fine, but she has lost too much blood, and she needs to recuperate well." ”
"Thank you, doctor, for your hard work."
Mrs. Chu has been staying by Jiang Rongwan's bedside, and Master Chu also came over later, looking at Chu Nantang, he shook his head with a disappointed face.
Chu Nantang remained silent, looked back at me and Mo Xiang, and said, "You go back to the room to rest first." ”
"Okay, I'll take Mo Xiang back to the room first, and if anything happens, you can inform me in time."
"Hmm." He nodded.
When I returned to the room, I immediately closed the door, pulled Mo Xiang and asked, "Mo Xiang, you tell me the truth, what is the truth?" ”
Mo Xiang was anxious and shook off my hand angrily: "Sister, even you don't believe me? ”
"I don't disbelieve you, I just want to hear an explanation from you, what's going on?"
Mo Xiang's eyes were red, and her mouth was pursed and she looked aggrieved. After a long time, he said: "I really didn't like Jiang Rongwu, but I really didn't harm the child in her belly." Don't think I don't know, the child in her womb is not Young Master Chu's at all! ”
Seeing her shouting, I rushed forward and covered her mouth: "You be quiet, this is ...... Or don't talk nonsense. ”
Mo Xiang pouted and pulled down my hand: "I didn't talk nonsense!" Sister, that Jiang Rongwen, she has already hooked up with Brother Shen! It must be Brother Shen who she seduced, I saw it with my own eyes! And I have in my hand the evidence of their private teachings! ”
"What evidence?"
"I can't say it yet." Mo Xiang snorted coldly: "If they push me too hard." Don't blame me for being rude! ”
"Can't even say it?"
"Sister, it's not that I can't say it, I'm afraid that you will be soft-hearted for a while, and let go of Jiang Rongwan again, in short, she can't do anything about me, so don't worry about it anymore."
If you want to describe Mo Xiang's temperament, it must be an untamable wild cat, and you can't do anything about her.
I sighed lightly: "Okay, but you can't make your own decisions about the big decisions, you must discuss them with me, do you hear?" ”
"Got it."
After Mo Xiang fell asleep, Chu Nantang came to me.
told me about the situation over there: "I persuaded Rong Wan to calm things down." ”
I looked up at him suddenly, "And what did she say?" ”
"She has now lost the child in her womb, she is very sad and angry, she will bite her tongue and refuse to let go, and if she continues like this, she is afraid that things will become very troublesome."
"Nantang, the child in her belly, really has nothing to do with Mo Xiang, I can guarantee this."
Chu Nantang looked at me with a solemn face: "But now all the unfavorable evidence points to Moxiang, and they have had a festival before, and the child in Rong Wu's belly is indeed because of the cold medicine in the fetal pill." It led to a miscarriage. ”
"If someone really killed someone, who would it be?"
Chu Nantang was silent for a long time before he said, "Perhaps...... It's herself. ”
The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, I really can't understand why she killed the child in her belly.
And according to her deep affection for Shen Qiushui, it shouldn't be.
"There is a possibility that it is because of a weak heart, in order to protect himself, it is better to let this child flow away. But this is not the main reason, this knot is still on the murmur after all. ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "By the way, Mo Xiang told me before that she has ...... in her hand Evidence. ”
"Evidence?"
"That...... It is evidence that Jiang Rongwan and Shen Qiushui secretly communicate with each other. ”
Chu Nantang immediately understood. frowned: "Mo Xiang also likes Shen Qiushui?" ”
"Hmm." I nodded.
Chu Nantang frowned and said, "It seems that there are still many hidden secrets that we can't think of. In short, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will not let you suffer the slightest grievance. ”
"Nantang, I believe in you."
On the third day, Jiang Rongwen still bit and didn't let go, not to say that Moxiang poisoned the child in her belly, Mrs. Chu already loved Jiang Rongwen very much and treated her as a daughter.
Where is she willing to suffer these grievances and pains? So all the anger was aimed at Mo Xiang, and he ordered someone to tie up Mo Xiang and send him to the patrol room for torture.
How can I get them to send the incense? Mrs. Yichu's hatred for Mo Xiang now will definitely make people kill her. This big living person went in, but I was afraid that he would never come back.
Mo Xiang was not afraid at all, but said to Mrs. Chu: "Madam, before you want to tie me up, listen to me finish speaking." ”
"What else do you have to say?" Mrs. Chu glanced at her coldly.
Mo Xiang sneered, glanced at these catchers, and said, "There are a few words, I don't know if to say it?" said it in front of outsiders, and I was afraid that I would sweep the face of the Chu family, what do you think, madam? ”
"You're threatening me?"
"Mo Xiang is just a little maid, where can she dare to threaten Madame? Even though Madame didn't care, Mo Xiang said directly. The child in the belly ......"
"Mo Xiang, don't say it!!" I stepped forward and covered her mouth and pleaded, "Ma'am, can you let them go first?" Madame......"
Mrs. Chu looked incredulous, and the atmosphere was deadlocked, until Chu Nantang rushed over and said in a deep voice: "Li Zhutou, please go out first and wait for a while." ”
Li Zhutou smiled and walked out of the room with his men.
At this time, the maid was also sent out, and only a few insiders remained.
Chu Nantang sighed lightly and looked at Mo Xiang: "Mo Xiang, you have some evidence in your hand, take it out." ”
Mo Xiang smiled proudly: "Yes, young master." ”
Mrs. Chu looked at her son suspiciously, with a displeased expression: "Nantang, what the hell are you doing?" ”
Chu Nantang said to Grandma Sun again: "Grandma Sun, please come over with Rong Wan." ”
"No, she's so weak now that she can't get out of bed." Mrs. Chu stopped.
"If there are some things that you want to say, then make them clear to your face." Chu Nantang insisted: "Grandma Sun, go and ask Rong Wan." ”
Mama Sun glanced at Mrs. Chu, then at Chu Nantang, and blessed her body: "Yes." ”
Mrs. Chu looked serious, and Chu Nantang helped his mother to sit down: "Mother, please wait patiently for a while." ”
Mrs. Chu didn't answer until Jiang Rongwen walked in with the help of Grandma Sun and Ping'er.
"Ping'er, you go out and guard first." Chu Nantang commanded coldly.
At this time, Jiang Rongwen felt a little uneasy, stared at Chu Nantang and said, "I don't know what happened when my husband asked Rong Wan to come over?" ”
Chu Nantang looked at her coldly: "Rong Wan, I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't appreciate it." ”
Jiang Rongwan's face changed, but she looked fearless: "I can't hear what you're talking about." ”
"The baby in the womb is not mine at all."
Mrs. Chu suddenly rose from her chair: "Nantang, what nonsense are you talking about?!" ”
"Mother, I'm not talking nonsense, the child is indeed not mine."
Mrs. Chu staggered back two steps with her forehead on her forehead, and Mama Sun hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
He said anxiously: "Young master, this thing can be eaten indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" ”
At this time, Jiang Rongwan's psychological quality was excellent, and she didn't cry when she didn't see the coffin: "Husband, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!" For the sake of a maid, you don't even want your own flesh and blood, and you ruin my reputation, I might as well die! ”
After that, she was about to hit the wall with a sad and angry face, but when Mrs. Chu saw this, she desperately stepped forward to stop her and slapped Chu Nantang.
"I think you're a ghost! For the sake of a Zen mind, what situation have you forced your wife in?! ”
Looking at this scene in front of me, I deeply felt the helplessness and sadness of being born at the wrong time.
The marriage handled by the feudal society, the orders of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not at all justified.
As for Jiang Rongwan biting back, we never expected it.
At this moment, she can still be quiet and calmly substitute herself into this sad role, and she really has to obey her.
At this time, Mo Xiang handed a few letters to Chu Nantang's hand: "Young Master." Here's the proof. Mrs. Chu, this child is Shen Qiushui's child, Jiang Rongwan and Shen Qiushui have already hooked up together, don't be deceived by her. ”
Mrs. Chu trembled with anger, snatched the so-called evidence in Chu Nantang's hand, looked at them one by one, her face turned pale, and she sat down in the chair.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" Mama Sun anxiously stepped forward to ask.
Chu Nantang looked guilty, stepped forward and said, "Mother, the child has no intention of hiding this matter, but I don't want to see you too sad." The result is still ......"
Jiang Rongwan shook her head: "I didn't!" It's fake! These letters are all fake! Mother, you have to believe me, they framed me! Husband, why are you doing this to me? I know that you don't have me in your heart, only Zen mind, but for the sake of Zen mind, you can even kill the child in our womb! ”
"Enough!!" Mrs. Chu's eyes were crimson, and the hand holding the letter trembled violently: "Nantang, you kneel." ”
"Yes." Chu Nantang stepped forward and knelt down.
Mrs. Chu turned her head and looked at Jiang Rongwen: "Rongwan, you kneel." ”
"What do you think marriage is? Is it child's play? It's responsibility! Now that you are married, you should treat each other with respect. Live a lifetime with eyebrows, this is not only for yourself, but also for the sake of the entire Chu family. I don't want to hear or see anything like this again! ”
Jiang Rongwen was moved with emotion, and stepped forward to take Mrs. Chu's hand: "Mother, please believe me." ”
"Don't say any more." Mrs. Chu quickly regained her composure and handed the 'evidence' in her hand to Grandma Sun: "Burn these things, if anyone mentions them in the future, I will not spare them." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Grandma Sun took the letter aside and threw it into the incense burner and burned it to ashes.
Mo Xiang couldn't believe it, and said indignantly: "Madam, I took out the evidence, but you burned it again!" Is the reputation of the Chu family and the reputation of Jiang Rongwan more important than your son?! ”
"Mo Xiang, shut up." I stepped forward and pulled the incense. This decision made by Mrs. Chu is actually not difficult to understand, the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, even if it is true?
She will only round the scene, and then quietly solve it. And Mo Xiang was still too impulsive after all, and couldn't understand Mrs. Chu's thoughts.
Mrs. Chu didn't look at her, but said, "A few pieces of broken paper." Do you dare to say it's evidence? This is clearly a frame-up, I see that you two sisters have no relatives and no attachments, and I don't want to embarrass you, Grandma Sun, take some silver taels to them, let them go! ”
"What?" Mo Xiang stared at Jiang Rongwen hatefully: "This woman has put such a high green hat on your son's head, you mother, you still have to protect her?!" ”
"Shut up!" Mrs. Chu got up from the case, and when she saw her mother angry for the first time, she still had full prestige in the end, Mo Xiang was so frightened that she shook her body and didn't speak again.
