Chapter 82: The Cycle of Grief

"It's not a subordinate, what is it?" Ji Zongyuan's anger subsided a little.

Pei Wuyi didn't answer, but looked at Yu Qingfeng with a smile.

Yu Qingfeng had to take the call, Pei Wuyi wanted her to say it.

"I'm Master Pei's pillow person." Yu Qingfeng didn't want to lose face, and said this with pride and pride.

Pei Wuyi couldn't help but laugh.

Ji Zongyuan smiled contemptuously, "No wonder you are so arrogant." Master Pei, there are also favored concubines in the Benhou Mansion, but let alone a favorite concubine, it is a lady, but if you are pampered in front of the Marquis and arrogant for more than half a point, you will definitely be severely punished. The rod can be exempted, but the palm and mouth are still necessary, otherwise how to discipline it in the future? ”

Pei Wuxian chuckled silently.

"Favorite concubine? Ji Hou Ye misunderstood, I am not a favorite concubine, I am the future Mrs. Dali Siqing who Master Pei promised me a name. Don't say it's a cane, a slap of the mouth, who dares to touch a finger of me today, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles. ”

Ji Zongyuan went to see Pei Wuyi again and found confirmation.

Pei Wuyi raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

Ji Zongyuan's momentum weakened a little, "Even so, the way of husband and wife is still different from respect and inferiority, and there are no rules. ”

"There are rules, Master Pei has already set rules for me," Yu Qingfeng tilted his head and said proudly, "The rules that Master Pei set for me are - no rules." I've long been used to this, not only me, but also Lord Lin and Lord Lian. ”

Ji Zongyuan couldn't wait to stare his eyes out, estimating that Yu Qingfeng's words were the most outrageous words he had ever heard in his life.

Yu Qingfeng was proud on the surface, but in fact, she was also a little drumming in her heart, and secretly prayed that Pei Wuyi would not tear down the stage.

Lian Shurong slapped his forehead, "No, we have long been accustomed to nature, just now Ji Hou Ye suddenly roared angrily, we are still wondering, how can there be trespassing?" Why is the rod responsible? Master Pei was afraid of the inside in advance, we didn't feel that it was wrong at all, Master Ji was so surprised, probably because your attitude towards your wife and relatives was diametrically opposed to Lord Pei, a world of difference? ”

Ji Zongyuan glanced at Lian Shurong, "Shurong, Benhou is an elder, your cousin-in-law, the elder and the young are respectful, you must speak in a measured manner." ”

Yu Qingfeng saw that Lian Shurong was about to be instigated, so he hurriedly helped to reply: "Lord Lian is already very measured, if you say it bluntly, I'm afraid that Ji Houye will trespass after hearing it." ”

Ji Zongyuan got up and walked in front of Pei Wuyi angrily, "Master Pei, your favorite concubine is so lawless, it's just here in Benhou, if it's elsewhere, I'm afraid I'm going to poke out a big basket!" ”

Pei Wuyi put down the teacup, patted his sleeves, stood up, and changed the angle of his gaze from looking up to looking down at Ji Zongyuan in front of him.

Pei Wuyi is nearly a head taller than Ji Zongyuan.

"Even if she breaks the sky, I will make up for her, if she can't make it up, bear it together. Here today, the tea cup was added at my orders, my Qingfeng just drank a cup of tea from your Hou Mansion, Hou Ye reacted like this, is he going to give this official a boost? ”

Ji Zongyuan is completely cowardly now, he is no longer an official in the court, and now he has a false name of a title, and he is far away in Suzhou, how dare he be the enemy of the Dali Siqing who has just taken office in the capital, and the big red people that His Majesty and the prince all believe in?

"Master Pei is serious, Ben Hou has no such intention." Ji Zongyuan's apology was reluctant.

"Dali Temple's trip is official business, if the Hou Mansion is inconvenient, we will no longer bother......"

At this point, Pei Wuyi is no longer willing to live in the Hou Mansion, anyway, the purpose of Lian Shurong's trip has been achieved - anyone with long eyes can see that Lian Shurong's cousin Mrs. Ji is not having a good time in the Hou Mansion, very bad.

But before Pei Wuyi finished speaking, he only heard Mrs. Ji gasp, as if she had heard bad news.

The voice was too abrupt, and everyone looked at Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji raised her head and peeked at Ji Zongyuan's face.

Ji Zongyuan is still the dead face with both eyes shooting flying knives, and the subtext on his face: You wait, the trouble you have caused makes me angry, wait for them to leave, see if I don't ask you to settle the score!

Mrs. Ji was forced back by Ji Zongyuan's gaze, hurriedly lowered her head, subconsciously raised her hands to touch her head, and immediately put it down.

This time Yu Qingfeng saw it clearly, when she raised her hand, the sleeves of her shirt drooped, and Mrs. Ji's wrists were bruised.

Mrs. Hou, who can make her hurt? Naturally, it is Hou Ye.

Subconsciously protect your head with both hands, and can develop such a stress reaction, you can imagine what kind of life Mrs. Ji has lived in the past ten years.

Ji Zongyuan's domestic violence did not surprise Yu Qingfeng at all.

Their group of people is the only savior who can save Mrs. Ji from fire and water, and as soon as they leave, Mrs. Ji will definitely be beaten again.

is finally powerful and able to rescue his wife who has been bullied, and cure the scumbag who beats his wife, such a happy thing, Yu Qingfeng must not miss it.

"Master Pei, if I want to live, I will live in the most luxurious mansion in the whole state, and I will live in this Hou Mansion, and I will not leave."

Pei Wuyi nodded dotingly, and then asked Ji Zongyuan in a cold voice with a smile: "Master Ji, okay?" ”

***

Madame Ji arranged for them to be a small courtyard closest to her residence.

Ji Zongyuan did not raise any objections.

Later, Yu Qingfeng learned that Ji Zongyuan had not lived with Mrs. Ji in the past six months, but had been lingering in Wenwen Township all day long - he had two young favorite concubines, one was named Hongmei, who was as passionate as fire, and the other was called Bailian, who was as tranquil as water.

The two favorite concubines both live in Linlang Water Pavilion, Ji Zongyuan has stayed in Linlang Water Pavilion day and night for the past half a year, and the reason why he failed to come out in time to greet him when the distinguished guests came to the door just now is because he is indulging in gentle township.

After settling down in the accommodation, Yu Qingfeng immediately went to talk to Lang Zhong, who treated Tian Lei, in detail, and learned that Tian Lei's body was no longer worried about his life, and he only needed to rest and drink medicine to recuperate, and she could slowly recover, she was finally relieved.

Before lunch, Hong Zengxian, the prefect of Suzhou, brought his close master Jiang Xusheng to the door.

Although I had already read the files of the two cases before I came, I still had to go through the process and listen to the person in charge of the case to narrate it again. It would be better if there were details that were not on the file.

In chronological order, the first is the murder of Cao Dayong, which occurred four months ago. Master Jiang Xusheng started with the family background that was not in the dossier.

The Cao family is engaged in tofu trading, and their own family is a workshop. Making tofu is hard, and you can only make a little money, and your family situation can only be regarded as food and clothing.

Seven years ago, Cao Dayong's wife had passed away for ten years, and the Cao family members at that time included his father Cao Dayong, eldest son Cao Fengnian, and second daughter Cao Ruyi.

Cao Dayong and the matchmaker went online and promised his second daughter Cao Ruyi to be a concubine outside Qi Yuanwai.

It's not so much a promise as a sale of a daughter.

The money obtained from selling his daughter, Cao Dayong used it to buy a daughter-in-law for his eldest son.

The Cao family's family background is poor, Cao Dayong is notorious for being fierce and violent, and the eldest son Cao Fengnian is not good at talking, and even going out to sell tofu is like gold, so it is difficult for such a family to marry a daughter-in-law.

If you want to marry a wife and have children, you can only be willing to spend the dowry and buy one back.

This kind of selling a daughter to buy a daughter-in-law for a son is very common. The daughter-in-law who bought it back is also the daughter who was sold by someone else's family, and in such a tragic cycle, a world in which only the daughter is injured is formed.

Cao Fengnian's daughter-in-law Zhai Xianglian is also a hard-working person, and her family is even more difficult than the Cao family.

Hearing this, Yu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh that art comes from life, and not only from ancient life. Because even in reality, this kind of thing is still not uncommon.

The narration continues.

Qi Yuanwai is no more than two or three years younger than Cao Dayong, and often lingers in the land of fireworks, and is a well-known old wanderer in Suzhou.

Qi Yuan's foreign name is Qi Yongen, and when he was not confused, he inherited the family's cloth business, almost monopolized all the cloth shops in Suzhou, and was a local tyrant.

Qi Yongen's wife, Meng Yuxin, is nearly ten years older than him, and she is ugly, but she has a good background. Her father was the most famous benevolent person in Suzhou, and when there was a famine in Suzhou, Meng's father scattered his family wealth to help the people tide over the difficulties.

I heard that His Majesty later brought the queen Weifu to Suzhou, heard about the good deeds of the Meng family, and also summoned him privately to give Mobao and other rewards.

Yu Qingfeng suddenly, there is no doubt that the hosta of the former queen was given to the Meng family's mother at that time, Meng Yuxin's mother, and her mother passed it on to her daughter.

The reason why Qi Yongen married Meng Yuxin, who was nearly ten years older than him and had an ugly appearance, was to obey the orders of his parents.

The reason why the parents arranged it this way was because Father Meng also had the grace to recreate the Qi family.

Kindness is kindness, and the love between men and women is the love of men and women.

So after the two parents passed away one after another, Qi Yongen completely snubbed Meng Yuxin and became an old wanderer, seemingly feeling that he had lost a lot of money over the years and had to hurry up to make up for it.

So he was a frequent visitor to Fireworks Willow Lane, and the young concubines were one after another.

The reason why they are one after another is because Qi Yongen's concubines always don't last long, either they die of illness, or they die of dystocia, or they die by accident, or they are divorced.

So there were rumors in the market that Meng Yuxin was jealous of her younger, more beautiful and favored concubine than herself, and secretly harmed her.

After Cao Ruyi fled three times, this rumor was rampant.

Cao Ruyi's story is the same as what Zheng Fangxing relayed before.

It is rumored that Cao Ruyi was persecuted by Meng Yuxin's jealousy, and Qi Yongen did not dare to punish the vicious old wife because of his kindness back then, so Cao Ruyi could only flee for his life several times and leave the Qi family.

Yu Qingfeng put a huge question mark in her heart: Meng Yuxin really wanted to be jealous, hateful, and abusive of her husband's concubine, why would she give such a precious hosta to Cao Ruyi?

Or is it that the hosta was actually stolen by Cao Ruyi? Or did Meng Yuxin really send it and wanted to frame Cao Ruyi for stealing?

The story continues, coming to six years ago. That is, the year after Cao Ruyi became a concubine in the Qi family, and the year after Cao Fengnian married his wife.

On the night of Cao Ruyi's fall from the cliff six years ago, her brother Cao Fengnian and his wife Zhai Xianglian's daughter fell to the ground. The child was not full-term, and was born prematurely for a month.

Because it was his daughter, Cao Dayong was very dissatisfied, so he hastily gave her a name, Cao Hong.

Because he was born on the night of Cao Ruyi's death, and was still a daughter, Cao Dayong felt very unlucky, and he counted Zhai Xianglian and Cao Hong's mother and daughter when he met people, and I heard that he often insulted and beat the mother and daughter.

Cao Fengnian was originally a wooden man, not good at talking, and he didn't dare to resist his father, and he didn't even dare to plead, so he could only watch his wife and daughter being "disciplined" by his father.

Since Cao Hong has just been full moon, there have been rumors in the market again.
