Duan took a deep breath, stared at the woman and asked, "Explain it to me!" The matter of the sixth lady is over, as long as the rumors are clarified, what does the death of the fifteenth master have to do with the second master?! ”

The woman said in a panic: "I don't know the little one, I only know that several masters of the eighth and ninth rooms are pulling the second master in front of them, saying that it is because of the poor handling of things in the long room that the people of each house are robbed, and the fifteenth master died tragically." Now that the bones of the fifteenth lord are not cold, the long house not only covers the culprit, but also doesn't even ask about the aftermath of the fifteenth master, which is really ruthless and unjust, and he is not worthy of being the head of a clan. ”

Duan almost gritted a mouthful of silver teeth: "This is nonsense again, the eldest master is the head of the family, and now in the capital, what are they doing looking for the second master?!" When will our long house cover up the culprit again?! Didn't the bandit leader have already asked Fu Guerrilla to be escorted away?! ”

The woman shrunk her neck, and her voice shrank a lot: "What they say...... It is the prince of Dongping...... said that if it weren't for the prince in Guzhuang, he would not have attracted bandits, and when the bandits came, the prince refused to send people to help, which caused the bandits to run rampant...... And also...... The seventeenth old man also said...... Those bandits were attracted by the sixth young lady and the seventh young master......"

"Nonsense!" Duan Shi snorted, but the more he thought about it, the more ugly his face became. Wen Hui is up, Wen An can't have an accident, and the position of the patriarch of the long house can't be lost, which is completely different from the uncle who wrote a letter before mentioning that the position of the patriarch was temporarily handed over to the second room in order to avoid danger. But if he is ousted from the position of patriarch by the clansmen because he made a big mistake, the long house will not want to regain power in the future!

But the most important thing at this moment is that her husband must not become the scapegoat of the long house!

She said to Wen Xian with a pale face: "Take your sisters back to the house, I'm going to see your grandmother!" "After that, he threw off the veil and was about to leave. Wen Xian stopped her worriedly: "Mother, father is outside...... It really doesn't matter?! In case the uncles are excited for a while...... Duan gritted his teeth: "Your uncles and uncles won't eat him yet!" It's just that the trouble is big, and you need to ask the old lady to come forward! "As the highest-ranking old man in the Gu clan and the eldest sister-in-law, Old Madam Yu's prestige should be able to suppress this turmoil, right?

The Duan family left, and Wen Xian obeyed her stepmother's order and took Wen Juan, Wen Yi, Kerou and others to her courtyard to serve tea. Everyone looked a little absent-minded, Wen Juan whispered to her sister about what the uncles would do with Wen Hui, but she didn't speak softly, but her eyes were rolling drippingly, happy and worried for a while, and she didn't even notice that the handkerchief in her hand was torn out of shape.

Wen Yi fell at the end, contemplating secretly. The uncles of the eighth and ninth rooms must have come after the quarrel they heard when they were passing by. In this robbery, all the houses were damaged, and the situation of the ninth room was the most miserable, and the family of the ninth room was burned, the property was paid, and the side branches of the nine rooms were naturally damaged, not to mention the seventeenth uncle or the fifteenth uncle's own brother, and there were also descendants of the last two generations of separate families in the partial branch, if even the people in the eighth room were counted, the number was quite a lot, and they all twisted into a force to ask the long house to give an explanation, even with the official position and power of the long house, it may not be able to suppress it.

But this dispute, in addition to bringing some money to Jiufang, may not have any actual results. It is true that the long house is ineffective, but after his grandmother warned him and his second and fourth uncles also urged the clan to be careful to defend against foreign enemies, it was not only the long house that was negligent in the matter of night defense, but also the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh rooms...... There are even many people who do it knowingly. The so-called law does not blame the public, how can Changfang be willing to bear this responsibility? Eventually, it will just go away. And then there is the matter of the prince, no matter whether the ninth room is attacked, whether there is a reason why the prince is unwilling to send someone to help, it is the prince after all, and it is not something that the Gu family can deal with, and there is nowhere to even sue the official! The theory of cover-up, but the culprits are the fourth and fifth rooms, and the culprit of the long room is lighter. And Wen Hui and Wen An, the sisters and brothers, were just reckless in this robbery, saying that they brought in thieves, how many witnesses can prove it? Naturally, Nagafang will not admit it.

However, Wen Hui's reputation has been damaged, if the clansmen are determined to find someone to be angry, and the people in the long house can hate her, maybe they will beat her idea.

It can be seen that in the end, the worst result of the matter is that Changfang gave up a daughter to save the reputation of the Gu family, and another son fell silent, but as long as the patriarch is in power, and the eldest uncle is still in front of his high-ranking officials in the capital, it is impossible for Changfang to lose power in Guzhuang! And Jiufang got some silver and two industries as compensation, and the other people of each house also got some benefits, but they had already offended Changfang, and their children would not expect to get Changfang's assistance when they went to school and entered the government in the future. Although for many years, few people in the clan have been able to make a name for themselves on the road to the imperial examination, but there are no people in the court, which is different.

Wen Yi was a little gloomy, although she was reborn, many things have changed, and she is not sure whether Wen Hui will have an accident. It's not that she is upset about Wenhui, but if the long house really damages her children, I'm afraid she will regard all the houses in the clan as mortal enemies. In the end, the entire Gu family is a loser......

As they were walking, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and it seemed that someone was coming towards them, but there were many people who stopped them, and they kept making noise.

Wen Xian stopped, frowned and instructed the accompanying maid: "Go and see what's going on?!" The girl was ordered to turn around, and the hustle and bustle moved over, and everyone could see clearly, and it was Wen Hui who was desperately trying to run out.

Wen Hui was wearing family clothes, her hair was simply tied up, an ebony crested hairpin was inserted diagonally, and there was no fat powder on her face, but she looked very bright because her face was flushed. She hatefully broke away from the girl's mother-in-law, and shouted, "Let go of me!" I'll definitely go out and ask! What do they have to question me?! My aunt and grandmother sit upright, and they would rather die when they meet a thief, who said that I made someone take advantage of me?! What do you say about fame and not fame?! They have the ability to earn their own reputation, but they obviously don't have the ability, but they only know the trouble of finding one of my daughter's families, and they are also men?! ”

As soon as Wen Yi and the others heard it, they knew that someone had spread the outside matter to her ears, and they all secretly screamed in their hearts. This eldest lady has always been a person who can't rub sand in her eyes, how can she bear to be talked about like this? Just told her to break out and bump into her uncles, wouldn't it be an added crime?

Wen Xian hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Sixth sister, why are you making trouble again?" Which ignorant person is chewing his tongue in front of you?! Outside, there is an old lady in charge, and there is a grandmother above, what are you doing running out? Go back to your room! "Then I will step forward and help her.

Wen Hui didn't appreciate it, and opened her hand: "I don't need you to meddle in my business!" If no one had told me, I wouldn't know when someone would have plotted it! When did your old lady take care of my life and death? They only have Xiao Qi in their eyes! You are the eldest lady, everyone is beautiful, you don't care about the outside affairs, you go back to the room to stay! It's my business, why can't I take care of it?! ”

Wen Juan was not angry that her sister was kind-hearted but was ridiculed, so she said, "What do you want to do?!" Now that the reputation of our whole family has made you tired, if you were really sensible, you shouldn't have sneaked out in the first place, and now our father is being blamed by uncles! I said Sixth Sister, you should stop a little, so as to save some face for our family! ”

"Which one has lost your face?!" Wen Hui became excited, "It's not that my father is an official in the capital, what kind of face do you have?!" Even your father's official position must be entrusted to my father! Cheng Tian stammered with a smiling face, and now that something has happened, he jumped up one by two and said that mine is not me?! Don't worry, your family loves face, you can stand by and watch! I'll do things by myself, but when the time comes, my father will blame him, don't regret it! ”

Wen Xian and Wen Juan were annoyed when they heard it, but Rou didn't know when she left, and Wen Yi was listening to it.

What do you mean by "something happened"?! Could it be that the uncle is dead, and it is also called "something happened"?!

She sneered and said: "Sixth sister, the brotherhood of the elders is supposed to be, but they are the same mother's compatriots, flesh and blood, how did it come to my sister's mouth, and it became a great favor?!" Could it be that the second uncle and the second aunt are at home to honor the eldest uncle and grandmother, take care of the family business, and handle family affairs, but it is nothing?! It's no wonder that the death of the clan uncle is just a trivial matter in the eyes of my sister, and the uncle is naturally not close. It's just that if my sister asks her uncle about this, I'm afraid he may not be able to hear it! ”

Wen Hui bit her lip and glared at her, "What kind of mouth do you have?!" What does this have to do with you?! ”

Wen Yi said coldly: "It has nothing to do with me, but I just watched the sixth sister repeatedly behave rudely, and I couldn't help but worry, if the people outside think that the daughters of our Gu family are like this, they are not virtuous, they are not virtuous, they are even more ruthless and unrighteous, we might as well find a rope and hang them!" There are only six sisters in the whole family, one is a high-ranking official in the family, and she has been pampered like a jewel since she was a child. ”

Wen Hui said angrily: "Which one has ruined your reputation?!" Don't compare me to you! I do things by myself, whether I am dead or alive, it has nothing to do with you, and I will never bring your good reputation to you! ”

Wen Juan was not angry: "If you really think so, why bother making trouble here?!" Wouldn't it be clean if a rope was hung early?! ”

Wen Hui raised her head: "Why?!" I'm just asking the thieves to pull two handfuls, why do I have to die?! I'm not convinced! ”

Wen Yi sneered: "You also think that there is no need to die if you ask the thief to pull two handfuls, right?" Do you know that an aunt in the eighth room is just that when she went to the temple to offer incense, she asked the beggar to pull her sleeve, and she asked the patriarch to hang herself? ! You take yourself too seriously, where is the incident of today that is making trouble for you? Are the houses burned for nothing? People died in vain?! It's just that I borrowed Yuko to ask for an explanation, freezing three feet, not a day's cold. Whether it's reasonable or reasonable, it's not your turn! Sister, stop it! ”

Wen Hui's face flushed, and tears rolled in her eyes. Wen Juan looked at Wen Yi in surprise and asked, "Ninth sister, what did you say...... It's true? Which aunt in the eighth room?! But......" she paused, "it shouldn't be the eldest uncle's fault......

Wen Hui suddenly felt reasonable: "That's right! If it wasn't my father, why should it be counted on my head?! ”

Wen Yi sneered: "It's not your father, isn't it your grandfather?!" Sixth sister, this is not interesting, the whole clan, both men and women, have to sacrifice for the reputation of the Gu family, you say 'why', you can escape without pain?! Why?! ”

Wen Hui trembled with anger, and finally gritted her teeth: "I don't care!" I don't want to die for a trumped-up charge!" After that, he was about to rush out again, when a girl's voice came from behind: "The old lady is here!" The commotion quieted down.

Old Madam Yu held Duan's hand and walked over with a blue face, her hands still trembling faintly. Seeing this, Wen Xian hurriedly walked over to support her, Wen Juan followed behind, and quickly told everything that had just happened, and Old Madam Yu's face became even more ugly.

Wen Yi caught a glimpse of the hatred on Duan's face, and felt that he was reckless today. The two families of the long house eat dogs, why should she get involved? But in a blink of an eye, she saw Kerou following behind Duan's again, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she understood a little more, but she could only smile bitterly secretly.

Old Madam Yu walked up to Wen Hui and stared at her without speaking. Wen Hui's eyes were red, she vigorously shook off the hand that blocked her girl, bit her lower lip and didn't speak, but her eyes were dark, Mrs. Yu had raised her palm, and a heavy slap fell, which made her eyes look like gold stars, and she took a few steps backwards, and fell to the ground with a wrong foot for a while.

Wen Hui looked at her grandmother in disbelief, but the old lady Yu stumbled as if she was out of strength, Duan took a step forward to support her, and said, "Don't be angry, old lady, the sixth girl is just a child who is not sensible." Old Madam Yu looked at her deeply, pushed her away expressionlessly, and only helped the girl to stand firmly. Duan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly lowered his eyelids and lowered his eyebrows.

Old Madam Yu looked at Wen Yi, Wen Yi bowed her head slightly, and bowed: "Say hello to my uncle and grandmother." Old Madam Yu nodded, and suddenly her eyes turned red: "Good boy, thanks to you today." You reminded me! ”

Wen Yi was a little confused, not quite understanding what she meant, and then heard her ask: "Your fifteenth aunt has an unstable fetus and is waiting for the doctor to diagnose and treat her, isn't it?" Wen Yi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, Fang Cai's nephew and granddaughter have already invited the eldest brother of the Liu family to visit, and the eldest brother of the Liu family is a doctor who understands medicine, so he should be able to help a little." ”

Old Madam Yu's face slowed down: "That's fine." Dongxing is a safe child, and with your grandmother watching, the fifteenth daughter-in-law should be safe. Then he glanced at Duan: "This is yours, isn't it!" Why didn't you send someone over to visit early?! If your fifteenth brother and sister have a good one, it is your sin! Duan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law, I will send a few reliable and thoughtful people to take care of it!" Old Madam Yu just said "um".

Wen Hui cried unwillingly: "Grandmother! Why are you hitting me?! Old Madam Yu glanced at her condescendingly, and said lightly: "You disappointed grandmother too much!" But there was no second sentence. Wen Hui wanted to say something more, but she was so cold by the coldness in her eyes that she couldn't say a word.

Old Madam Yu turned her head and ordered: "Find a few powerful ones, tie up Miss Six for me, gag her mouth, and send her back to the house!" From this day on, except for the girl I sent, no one will be allowed to enter her yard without my nod, and if there is a violation, the family law will deal with it! Then he flicked his sleeves and shouted solemnly: "Accompany me to meet your nephews for a while!" ”
