Chapter 177

When the prince came out, Uncle Hua was reporting to Shanniang that someone from the yamen wanted to see Yuan Changqing. Shan Niang immediately knew that these people must have been assigned by Master Yuan Si - I also knew what Master Yuan Si would say to those people.

She couldn't help but be annoyed, and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people! We are the victims! As he spoke, he was going to meet those servants with Uncle Hua for a while.

The prince hurriedly lifted the curtain and came out, stopping Shanniang and said, "Where is the need for Madame to come forward." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the bearded man who had been guarding the door, and the bearded man took the order. The prince turned back to Shanniang and smiled: "Madame, don't worry, Madame should take care of herself at this time, Da Lang still needs Madame's care." He added: "When it is convenient for Madame, you might as well have more contacts with the crown princess, I think you must have a lot of common topics." ”

Shanniang didn't know what the prince said to Yuan Changqing before, but when he was referring to Yuan Changqing's poisoning and needed her care, so he told her to take care of her body, so she bent her knees and responded, and was about to send the prince out in person, but was stopped by the prince and said: "I came here in private, so I don't have to be so excited." ”

It's just that even if he said so, Shanniang didn't want to be too rude, and in the end she sent the group out of the second gate, and she turned back.

As soon as she entered the main room, Mother Li came over and smiled at Shanniang: "Girl, don't go in." My uncle was eating long fish noodles inside, saying that he was afraid that the taste would smoke the girl, so he asked me to stop the girl here. He pursed his lips and laughed quietly: "The girl sued Aunt Sù?" ”

Shanniang blinked. She was suspicious until now, and the couple has not taken the opportunity to be alone. However, thinking of that person's usual ability, Shanniang was not surprised, so she took a look into the living room with the curtain.

At this time, Yuan Changqing had already come out of the bedroom, and was sitting on the kang under the window of the living room eating noodles. Yuan Yi looked at his father along the kang, and was very greedy, so he dragged Yuan Changqing's knee and called "Dad", and Yuan Changqing picked a short noodle to feed him as if he were charity. How could this make Yuan Yi enjoy eating, but he was hooked in vain, so he pulled Yuan Changqing's knee again, looked at the bowl with his eyes, annoyed Yuan Changqing, poked Yuan Yi's head with his fingers, and taught him a lesson: "You bear child, why are you so greedy?" Don't have anything to eat at home?! ”

Shanniang couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw it, stood under the curtain and said to Yuan Changqing: "He's just greedy, what's wrong with you feeding him two?" ”

Yuan Changqing complained: "I've fed him several times!" Then he glared at his son, "Be content!" ”

Yuan Yi looked at his father, flattened his mouth aggrievedly, looked back at Shanniang, and called "Niang" as if complaining, and then abandoned his stingy father, and threw himself on Shanniang's lap with the kind of stumbling and not falling that is unique to a one-and-a-half-year-old child.

He pounced, but Yuan Changqing was startled, and immediately screamed.

Shanniang glanced at him and said, "When did you know?" ”

Yuan Changqing looked down at the noodle bowl, and couldn't help but feel depressed, "Just now." Thinking that the good news of his daughter-in-law was not the first one he knew, but asked the prince to break it first, Yuan Changqing was not happy in his heart - the prince was really wronged, he thought that Yuan Changqing knew, so on a whim, he joked about the two unborn children to show that he valued Yuan Changqing......

Shanniang said, "I'm not sure yet." It's true, and the days are still shallow. ”

Yuan Changqing looked at her, waved his hand and said, "You can't smell this smell, let's go out first." ”

So Shanniang took Xiao Yuan Yi out.

Yuan Changqing finished eating the noodles there, ordered someone to come in and open the window for ventilation, and then he came out with the little maid's shoulder. Seeing Yuan Yi sitting in Shanniang's arms and showing off to her his newfound toy, the jade pendant given by the prince, he frowned and said to Shanniang: "Don't hug him anymore......"

When the little guy heard that his father didn't ask his mother to hug him, he immediately threw the jade pendant with a "snap", hugged Shanniang's neck and didn't let go, which made Shanniang laugh.

Mother Li hurriedly went over to pick up the jade pendant, recited the Buddha, and said, "It's a loss, it's not broken." He said to Yuan Changqing again: "Uncle is really, how can this thing be used as a toy for uncle, what a pity it was." But she didn't know that this was actually a meeting gift from the prince to Yuan Yi.

Yuan Changqing didn't explain to her, only moved his legs, which were not very dexterous, sat next to Shanniang, and pulled her wrist again, checking her pulse.

Shanniang said: "How many days have it been? How can it be diagnosed? But even if she couldn't get a diagnosis, she thought that he probably still had to be diagnosed to feel at ease, so she didn't care about him, and just said: "Okay, you're not immobile, why do you have to see the prince in the bedroom?" ”

It wasn't until the pulse was diagnosed that Yuan Changqing replied to her words: "It came suddenly, and I was unprepared." He said sarcastically, "That one is just a 'corporal of Lixian', otherwise, how can it reflect how much he values me." ”

To say that the later Emperor Zhaowen is also a very scheming master, that heart can be said to be much better than Yuan Changqing, and he is even better at acting than Yuan Changqing.

Shanniang came to the door and asked the prince to send someone to send him and told Yuan Changqing about it. Yuan Changqing also told the prince what he said to Shanniang, and then said: "You have not had much energy in the past few days, I should have been busy at the end of the year, but now Sanhe Wufu should also be able to stand up to things, and you just let them do something." ”

Shanniang immediately smiled and said the happy event of Wufu, and said, "That stupid girl, she was also poisoned." ”

The two of them talked about homely things, as if they had not encountered the danger before, so that Li's mother couldn't help but shake her head for a while, and came out to Hua's mother and sighed: "These two in our family are both big-hearted. ”

When she went in again, Shanniang and Yuan Changqing, who were sitting outside and laughing, were no longer there. When asked the little maid, the little maid smiled and pointed to the inside. Mother Li took a look into the bedroom through the crack in the curtain, and saw that the family of three was lying on the bed side by side, and all of them had fallen asleep after a while.

*·*·*

It is said that when the Yuan Mansion made this life lawsuit, it was already a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve. At this time, most of the yamen in the DPRK and China had already taken spring break, and only the Gyeonggi government was still on duty. After receiving Tanhualang's report, Gyeonggi Prefecture Yin attached great importance to it and led a team to the scene. When he arrived, Yuan Changqing ran away, and the current Zhongyi Gong Yuan Li even accused the suspect who forced the murder on the spot to be Yuan Changqing, the Tanhualang who reported the case. Before Lord Fu Yin could recover from the shock, some of the Yuan clan members present at the time stood up to refute Yuan Li's words, saying that the person they saw stranded at the scene was not Yuan Da, but Yuan Li's own son Yuan Erlang......

Can be the Gyeonggi Mansion Yin, since it can't be an incompetent person, the Mansion Yin is very proficient in the sleek technique of "passing through the leaves in the ten thousand flowers without sticking to the body", listening to the confessions of the two parties, the old man was still panicked for a while, and secretly regretted that this time it should be the horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and then he suddenly heard that the Yuan clan people bit out the hidden secret that Yuan Da and Yuan Erdu were already heavily poisoned......

Immediately, Lord Yin was in ecstasy, and he was busy slapping the table and reciting the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only saying that the seriously ill person should not be imprisoned according to the law, and immediately sentenced Yuan Da and Yuan Er to be released on bail at home pending trial, and then open a government to try the case after the year - of course, by that time, he would always have a way to push the case to the ministry. At that time, it will not be his little Fu Yin who should be embarrassed.

Although Lord Fu Yin pushed Tai Chi well, he actually put the matter on hold for the time being, but he couldn't stand someone fanning the flames behind his back. Now that the New Year is approaching, in addition to the housewives who are busy, the idle old men are a lot. In addition, the ministries and offices had a spring break, and the restaurant and tea shop were overcrowded for a while. So, suddenly, as if a hundred flowers bloomed in a spring rain overnight, many storytellers in the market actually told a new joke at the same time - but it was a fake ancient oracle to the present, using the coat of the previous dynasty, to say how the Tanhualang of a certain dynasty bullied the elder and the young, and in order to inherit a title, he actually framed his uncle and poisoned his cousin, etc., etc......

If you want to say that the capital is an official, the ears and eyes are smart is the first key, although the Yuan Mansion has never publicized the "family ugliness" to the outside world, but there will always be people who want people to know the things that will be said, so soon everyone will know that this is a hint of the Zhongyi Mansion and Yuan Tanhua, and then, gradually, the murder case of the Yuan Mansion became known to everyone.

Listening to the rumors outside, Yuan Changqing couldn't help but laugh. This is the most common method he uses to create public opinion, and he doesn't want others to learn it, and he also asks the other party to take the lead. Seeing that Shanniang, who also heard that kind of rumor, was full of displeasure, Yuan Changqing smiled: "Whoever speaks first will win." People's hearts are complicated. ”

So, immediately after, another storyteller made up a different blueprint for the same story. Only this time, the story didn't explicitly point out any criminals. Yes, it's just the unlucky Tanhualang who was poisoned, and then designed and put the dead together......

Just as people in later generations love to watch suspense dramas, there are also many tea guests who love to be Bao Qingtian. Gradually, the former version that could not challenge the intellect was never mentioned again, and it was the latter story that was often talked about and more twisted and bizarre. There are even people who analyze the case in a matter-of-fact manner, patting their chests and betting: "That Tanhualang is the culprit!" All of them are just suspicions for him. The reason is: "If he wasn't weak-hearted, he should have stayed in the house and waited for someone from the government to come, and then took advantage of the situation to defend himself, but he didn't dare to see the official, so he fled first, which shows that he was weak-hearted!" The other person sneered, "How can this be called an escape?!" He was poisoned in Nafu, and at this time he was the first to save his life. Otherwise, when someone from the government comes, maybe he will become a corpse long ago. And if he really wanted to escape, he should have left directly when he was replaced by the little guy, how could he be stupid enough to wait for the doctor to detoxify him before leaving? It can be seen that Tanhualang originally had a clear conscience, but it was only later that he suddenly thought of the danger in Nafu, so he left first. If you want me to say, the big man in the house is the culprit! It must have been because he saw that his son was unproductive, and he was afraid that his title would be robbed by the nephew of Tanhua, so he set up such a set of traps. Deserve! ”

This New Year, the restaurants, tea shops and storytellers have made a lot of money one by one with such a story. The family of the four masters of the Yuan Mansion was forced by all kinds of rumors to dare not go out as guests, and even the New Year's wine in the mansion was delayed so much.

As for Yuan Changqing and his wife, as Mother Li discussed with Uncle Gui behind her back, these two people are "so big that their hearts are boundless". At this time, one of the remaining poisons on his body was not cleared, and the other was suspected of being pregnant and inconvenient to go out, and the two of them still called friends at home, so that each New Year's wine was not the same as the other - in fact, with Yuan Changqing's coldness, he was happy to live his own small life behind closed doors with Shanniang through the rumors outside, but Shanniang felt wronged for him and insisted on refusing to "shrink up and live".

What's more, the first New Year she married was spent in Nafu, and she didn't need to prepare for the wine that year. In the second year after the two finally moved out, when she was full of ambition to plan various New Year's wines, her plans fell through because she was pregnant with Yuan Yi. In the third year, when Yuan Yi was only two or three months old, she was in a hurry to take care of the child for the first time, so she couldn't take care of the New Year's wine that she had been silently planning in her stomach for several years. Until this year, she had already made a plan, thinking about showing off her hobby of decorating the room in front of Princess Celestia and others, but she didn't want her to be pregnant again...... Last time, she was considerate of Yuan Changqing's first time as a father, and she was too cautious, so she silently endured his domineering and let him "take care" of her. This time, she refused to get used to him anymore, and only insisted on doing this year's wine. In fact, when Ruo Shanniang is really stubborn, only Yuan Changqing is often the only one who makes concessions, so although he is very worried, he still depends on her in the end.

According to the plan, Shanniang will invite four New Year's wines this year. Due to the different guests she treated, she made all the arrangements in the house, so that the eldest princess and Lin Ruzhi, who happened to drive her two New Year's wines in a row, were all surprised. The eldest princess smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that the layout of your house has not changed, I would have moved to a new house!" I can't believe you still have this hand. Lin Ruzhi smiled: "You don't look at who her father is." Shanniang said it with pride. In her previous life, she liked this, but she couldn't always have fun living at home, but now she took advantage of the New Year's Festival, but it just happened to make her addicted.

The eldest princess pulled Shanniang aside again and asked her, "Is Yuan Da really released on bail pending trial?" ”

This is indeed true. Seeing that the eldest princess was frowning, Shanniang said: "The body is not afraid of shadows, but now because of the New Year, this matter can only be like this." After a while, the ministries opened the ya, let's talk about it. ”

Shanniang didn't know that the rumors outside were just a small storm on the lake, and the really big wind and waves had actually been hidden deep underwater.

After the New Year, after the various departments opened their offices, the case of the Yuan Mansion became a high-profile event. It was also thanks to Yanfeng's layout, and many of the Yuan clansmen and female dependents present at the time had seen and heard the expression of Yuan Si's family with their own ears, so they quickly asked Yuan Changqing to clear their suspicions.

And Yuan Changqing's suspicion has been cleared, but Yuan Changxing's suspicion can no longer be cleared......

Although Yuan Changqing has been recuperating at home due to the residual poison, he has not really been idle, and he has been quietly tracking down the black hand behind Yuan's mansion. So, without surprise, he discovered the black hand that stretched out from the Four Princes' Mansion behind the whole thing.

There is a saying in later generations, called "If you are not afraid of an opponent like a god, you are afraid of a comrade-in-arms like a pig." If Yuan Er really followed the plan set by the staff of the four princes and followed it step by step, maybe Yuan Changqing would really be in danger this time. Yuan Er thought that he was also very smart, and when he saw Lu'an, he temporarily changed his plan. And since he ate Yuan Changqing's kick that year, others don't know what it is, but Yuan Er himself knows that it is difficult for him to show his strength in the boudoir, so he simply hates Yuan Changqing to the bone, and where is he willing to let Yuan Changqing die silently alone according to the original plan. So Yuan Er slightly reduced the amount of poison and medicine, in order to be able to humiliate Yuan Changqing in front of him when he was dying. What Yuan Changxing didn't expect was that these two changes not only saved Yuan Changqing's life, but also made Yuan Da escape from this incident unscathed. As for Yuan Er himself, he was suspected of being unable to get rid of because of this......

The crown prince had promised Yuan Changqing before that he would definitely make the decision for him. Now that the truth is revealed, the prince refuses to let his subordinates suffer this loss in vain, so he secretly instructed the people below to impeach Yuan Si Master one after another. And just when Yuan Si was played all over by the imperial historians, one of the subordinates who followed Yuan Changxing suddenly turned back and poked Yuan Changxing out of the incense that he had done on the incense to worship his ancestors. This time, no matter whether the maid's death was caused by Yuan Changxing, at least it will be difficult to escape the poisoning. It's just that when the officials of Gyeonggi Mansion came to take Yuan Changxing, Yuan Er, who was sick at home like Yuan Changqing, suddenly disappeared.

As a result, the imperial historians were once again indignant, and the impeachment chapter could be stacked up to bury Yuan Si. The cabinet elders even jointly issued a letter to the old emperor, who claimed to be in good condition, demanding that Yuan Li's title be stripped and that he be asked to introspect behind closed doors and wait for the three ministries to verify. In this case, even if the old emperor had the intention to defend it, it was difficult to find an excuse to serve the public, so he had to use the seal on the holy decree against his will.

The so-called house leak is raining at night, the fourth master has no future, and his son's whereabouts are unknown, when he is full of worry, the elders of the Yuan clan suddenly come to the door.

But it turned out that after the news of Yuan Changxing adding poison to the incense of the ancestors spread, this matter immediately caused the anger of the elders of the Yuan clan, and Yuan Li also lost the title that the Yuan family had obtained after countless deaths, and the clan elders were even more angry, and everyone unanimously decided to remove Yuan Changxing from the clan, and as for the four masters, they were no longer allowed to participate in the affairs of the clan.

Yuan Changqing, who was recovering from his body, just watched these things silently, but he never stretched out his finger again—as the prince said, he will be of great use in the future, so he can't give people any excuses in his behavior. Since the crown prince has made the decision for him, he is happy to shrink behind others and be a "poor little child" who is bullied by his uncle and grandmother.

In fact, Yuan Changqing really didn't care much about the rights and wrongs in that mansion, in his eyes, the mansion was already equivalent to some inconsequential dead people. Now he cares more about Shanniang.

Shanniang is now very sure that although the date of pregnancy is different from her previous life, she feels that this baby may be her daughter in her previous life whose temper was twisted to make her stomach ache. Because since she felt the preservation of this child, this child has been messing with her awkwardly. The first thing I do when I open my eyes every day is to exhale wildly. Then I continued to vomit after three meals. Occasionally, I was happy, and I drank saliva and vomited...... In this way, in the days when she finally got used to it, suddenly one day, the child decided to reconcile with her, and he didn't toss her anymore.

In the bright spring light of March, Shanniang, who was four months pregnant, stood on the couch in front of the bed, bowing her head and silently looking at her slightly bulging abdomen.

After Yuan Changqing's morning exercise, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw her standing so stupidly, and couldn't help but ask her nervously, "What's wrong?" But tossing you again? ”

Shanniang shook her head, "She doesn't dislike me anymore. From this morning to now, I haven't vomited! She looked up and smiled.
