In the Songhe Hall, the atmosphere was deadlocked.

The discerning people present could see that the addition of arsenic to the refreshments was by no means unrelated to Hu Ziming.

Hu Ziming stood in the hall, anxious and panicked in his heart, afraid that the Ye family had really found out the evidence, and he couldn't help but feel a little smug.

Look, even if Jiao'er was caught red-handed, and even came forward to prove that the poisoning was instigated by himself, the Ye family still couldn't throw the matter on his head.

Even if the Ye family really wants to make trouble in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, aren't they afraid that this matter will involve Ye Lang and Ye Po's mother-in-law, and ultimately harm the future of the Ye family's heirs?

Thinking of this, Hu Ziming, who was still a little flustered in his heart, suddenly felt that he had something to rely on, and sneered: "Could it be that your Ye family still wants to make trouble in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion because of this maid's words, and make the whole city know about it?" Speaking of which, this maid is now my sister's maid, and this croton and peach blossom are also under the instructions of my sister, and they have nothing to do with me. ”

Hearing the shameless words, the Ye family was furious and the Hu family was stunned.

Hu Shi's eyes widened, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he cried: "Brother, I am your own sister!" You instructed Jiao'er to poison me and didn't tell me, but now that the matter is exposed, you have pushed this matter of human life onto me. What kind of heart is in your chest?! ”

Hu Ziming sneered, put his hands behind his back and said, "You are my sister?" I don't have a sister like you! The previous time, I listened to the villain's words and killed my daughter-in-law's fetus. This time, I added laxatives and arsenic to my father's food, my Hu family, but there is no such vicious daughter! ”

Hu Shi wanted to cry, and Ye Lang, who had been supporting her, couldn't help but say: "Uncle, what you say is too damning!" ”

"How can good words sound good?" Hu Ziming sat down and said, "Nephew, since you have called me uncle, it is better to listen to my advice." A woman like your mother is neither suitable to be a housewife nor a mother, so it is better to throw it directly into the family temple and leave her alone. ”

Ye Lang gritted his teeth to suppress his anger, and Ye Zhujin couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that even if they leave, the Hu family doesn't plan to let Ling Mei enter the door?" ”

"It's just an abandoned woman, what kind of face do you have to step into the door of the Hu family again." Hu Ziming snorted coldly, "Even if others ask, as long as they say that my Hu family has a strict style, and a woman who almost committed a murder case is not allowed to return home, and others will say hello to my Hu family." ”

The elders of the Hu family also spoke out in agreement.

Different from the Ye family, which has only developed in the last two generations, the Hu family is a family of poetry and books, the earlier generations are fine, but the more books they read in the last few generations, the more pedantic they are in their bones, and they can't accept the Hu family to return to Hu's mansion.

The faces of the elders of the Ye family were instantly unsightly.

If it is really according to what Hu Ziming said, there is no benefit in the reconciliation of the Ye and Hu families.

The Hu family was unwilling to accept an abandoned woman from the Hu family, and even released rumors that the Hu family had poisoned and killed people, which was naturally unfavorable to the Ye family.

What's more, the Hu family does not allow the Hu family to enter the door, although the Hu family has a dowry to eat and wear, in the end, he is alone and cannot stand on his own, and can only be taken into the mansion by the Ye family to provide for him, what is the difference between this and separation? Discord, the Hu family is so incorruptible and shameful, it is best for the Ye family to take this opportunity to draw a clear line with the Hu family, if the Hu family makes a big mistake one day, I am afraid that the Ye family will also be implicated.

thought that this arsenic incident would make the Hu family retreat, but it turned out to be Hu Ziming's unscrupulous bargaining chip, which is really annoying!

didn't know that as early as when Jiao'er pointed out the arsenic, the matter was in the hands of Ye Zhujin and Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Nephew Hu Xian can't help but shirk too much. This arsenic matter is just one side of Jiao'er's words at present. While Jiao'er was talking, I had already sent the maid to search the hospital, and the maid did find a packet of arsenic in Jiao'er's room, in addition to arsenic, there were also several packets of sweat medicine and laxatives, and the wrappers of these medicines were stamped with the stamp of Hankang Pharmacy. While you were talking, the shopkeeper of Hankang Pharmacy and Dr. Sun, who had previously been a judge of the Tai Hospital, had already arrived at the house, and the virtuous nephew wanted to meet him? ”

Hu Ziming's eyes widened, he didn't expect Mrs. Shen to do things so vigorously, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she thought about it.

No, I only gave Jiao'er a packet of arsenic, and this arsenic was obviously bought privately from a merchant, so what does it have to do with Hankang Pharmacy?

Did the Ye family really find out something, or did they just want to frame themselves?

Hu Ziming didn't answer, and the Hu family had no reason to refuse, so Mrs. Shen called her eldest maid Thrush and brought in Dr. Sun and the shopkeeper of Hankang Pharmacy.

The first to act was Dr. Sun, who stepped forward, first broke open the refreshment that had been sitting for a while, took out a silver needle, inserted it and then pulled it out, and after seeing the silver needle change color, he said: "It is indeed arsenic." ”

As he spoke, Dr. Sun, as if he was afraid that some people present would not believe him, asked the subordinates of Songhetang to find a cat and feed some broken refreshments. But in half an hour, the cat really screamed in pain, and it took several people to suppress it, and it was dead in a few moments.

The cat, which was already stiff, was taken down by the subordinates, and everyone's faces sank, and Dr. Sun announced, "It is indeed arsenic." ”

Mrs. Shen said with a cold face: "It's been a hard trip for Dr. Sun, the honorarium has been prepared, Dr. Sun will follow my family down to have a cup of tea and rest." ”

Doctor Sun nodded and left, and the shopkeeper of Hankang Pharmacy took a step forward, took the medicine bag handed over by the thrush, and said firmly: "That's right, it is indeed the medicine from my Hankang Pharmacy." My Hankang Pharmacy has always been cautious, these kinds of medicines are special, when I go back to check the account, I will be able to find out who these medicines have been sold to in recent months, and how much the other party has bought. ”

Hu Ziming was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to doubt the credibility of Hankang Pharmacy in front of the shopkeeper, so he only said: "Dare to ask, can you let me take a look at this medicine bag?" ”

The thrush glanced at Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen nodded, and the thrush personally delivered the medicine bag to Hu Ziming's hand, Hu Ziming took the medicine bag, but saw that what was written on the medicine bag was clearly not "Hankang Pharmacy", only a line of words was written clearly and clearly-

What is the crime of adultery and pregnancy with the concubine of the deceased father during the period of father's filial piety?

Hu Ziming was startled, his hands trembled so much that he could barely grasp the medicine bag, but the thrush quickly reached out to catch it, and said with a smile: "Master Hu, your hands are shaking, it's really amazing." ”

Hu Ziming blinked, and looked at Jiao'er, who was kneeling on the ground, still holding his lower abdomen because he kicked him.

Jiao'er didn't know when she had straightened up, and when she looked at Hu Ziming, her eyes were no longer cowardly and humble, but full of hatred.

Ye Qiong, who was hidden behind the screen, took a long breath, patted Ye Po's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay now, the Hu family will soon agree and leave." ”

Ye Po was puzzled, but nodded anyway.

Things have to start with Jiao'er.

After all, the Hu family and the Ye family are in-laws, and it is not difficult for the Ye family to find out the details of Jiao'er's little maid. On the night of the incident, Ye Qiong knew that Jiao'er had a sister who was a concubine in Hu Zhezhang's room.

At that time, Ye Qiong felt strange, since Jiao'er had such a sister, how could she be taken back to Ye Mansion by the Hu family.

Ye Qiong tested the imprisoned Jiao'er with questions, and hinted that if Jiao'er was willing to come forward to testify against the Hu family, the Ye family was willing to find a way to ask the Hu family to let Jiao'er's sister return home.

Jiao'er did the poisoning for the sake of her relatives, and immediately testified: "I was assigned such a thing to come to the Ye family, but because I knew something I shouldn't know, the Hu family wanted to solve me with the help of the Ye family." What can I do, my sister is still in the Hu family, and she is still pregnant with Hu Ziming's child in her belly! ”

Ye Qiong was taken aback and agreed to Jiao'er's request to save her sister.

With this enough bargaining chip to threaten Hu Ziming in hand, not to mention the matter of reconciliation, even Uncle Su will no longer be constrained by the remaining forces of the Hu family when he is in the national prison.

Therefore, Ye Qiongcai and his grandmother and uncle set up this game.

If the Hu family was willing to reconcile and leave happily and support the Hu family to old age, the Ye family would not have taken out this bargaining chip, but the Hu family really did not disappoint Ye Qiong.

Hu Ziming shook his face, sat back on the chair, and drank several sips of tea before saying: "I agreed to the matter of harmony." ”

Everyone was stunned, only Ye Zhujin and Mrs. Shen looked calm, and the Hu family looked at each other, only saying that the evidence presented by the Ye family was sufficient, and Hu Ziming couldn't shirk it anymore, so they sighed together and said, "Ziming has agreed, then let's talk about the dowry division between the two families." ”

"The dowry is all for my mother, and Pergol and I will not ask for a penny." Ye Lang said, "However, we demand that the mother's dowry can only be decided by the mother herself, and the stewards of the Ye family and the Hu family will each account for half, and the stewards of the Ye family will be in charge." Will my uncle agree to this condition? ”

The elders of the Hu family blushed angrily.

The Hu family has been married to the Ye family for more than 20 years, and they are clear about the fact that the original dowry has been doubled several times through the Ye family. Whether the Hu family has the wrist to keep this dowry, they know even better.

Isn't it because Hu Ziming told them before that half of the Hu family's dowry clan will have the other half of him?

The steward of the Ye family takes over the dowry, and they won't be able to share the soup!

The elders of the Hu family wanted to say a few words, but Hu Ziming had already agreed with a gloomy face: "Okay, I promise you, I will give my sister a separate yard, and the purchase kitchen is separate, so it's always okay, right?" ”

"That's all right." Ye Zhujin nodded.

After all, the Hu family is the biological mother of Ye Lang and Ye Po, and the two children naturally don't want their mothers to have a bad time, Ye Zhujin and the Hu family have been together for more than 20 years, and they don't want to watch the Hu family being bullied by the Hu family in every way after they leave.

Although Hu Shi was confused, he couldn't hear the good and bad in Ye Lang's words, lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think, but he just held the hand stretched out by Ye Lang next to him tighter.

Ye Po behind the screen also jumped up and said, "In this way, I can rest assured." ”

Ye Qiong touched Ye Po's head with a smile, and the dark clouds in her heart also dispersed a lot.

If it weren't for Ye Po and Ye Lang, how was the eldest aunt doing, why bother with the layout?

In the Songhe Hall, the elders of the Hu family had already quarreled with Hu Ziming, and the elders of the Hu family scolded happily, but Hu Ziming always pursed his mouth and said nothing, his eyes were gloomy.

The hall was still noisy, but some maids in the hall hurriedly walked in, and before they could open their mouths to report, Su Chengzhang, the elder brother of the Su family who came to report the good news, had already shouted loudly: "Senior Su Chengzhang, I have come to see Uncle Ye." My father has just received the holy decree and has been awarded the position of the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine, and he has come to report the good news. ”

Su Chengzhang appeared suddenly, making the chaotic Songhe Hall instantly quiet.

Whether it is the Ye family or the Hu family, looking at Hu Ziming's eyes with sarcasm.

Look, what if the organs are exhausted, isn't it still Su Qingyi who got the position of sacrificial wine?

Ye Zhujin personally helped Su Chengzhang up, and Mrs. Shen smiled: "Why did you come here at this time, how is your father?" ”

Su Chengzhang said with a smile: "My father is fine, and now he is already focused on the affairs of the Guozijian." I came this time because I heard that Uncle Hu was also here today, so I came to visit my door. ”

Su Chengzhang said this, saluted Hu Ziming, and said: "I heard my father talk about Uncle Hu before, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name." My father was in the prison for several years, and Uncle Menghu always 'took care of him', and thanked my uncle here. ”

Hu Ziming's heart beat suddenly.

Su Chengzhang spoke with a smile, but when Hu Ziming heard it, he had a chill.

The "care" in Su Chengzhang's mouth naturally has another meaning, referring to the dispute over the sacrificial wine of the country, and it may even contain all kinds of obstacles that he had set up for Su Qingyi openly and secretly.

Su Chengzhang appeared here at this moment, and said such things again, what did he want?

Although Su Chengzhang smiled, there was no smile in his eyes, and he said: "My father has now been awarded the position of sacrificial wine, and it is the time for the new official to take office with three fires. Uncle Hu is the son of Hu Saijiu, and he must know the situation in the prison of the country very well......"

Speaking of this, Su Chengzhang's words changed sharply, and his tone became cold: "My father's desire to implement reforms in the Guozi Prison will definitely overturn many of the old rules set by Hu Saijiu before, I don't know if Uncle Hu will mind?" ”

Hu Ziming looked at Ye Zhujin on the side, how could he have the courage to say no, he only stubbornly said: "How can I mind, Su Siye, ah, it's time to call Su Sacrifice Wine, even if Su Sacrifice Wine is good, I will definitely support it." ”

Su Chengzhang smiled and said, "That's fine." Someone previously handed a message to my father, saying that Huang Ruizao, the son of Huang Jiancheng, was in prison and said that the rumors about my father in Beijing came from the Hu family, and my father still didn't believe it. When I saw it today, Uncle Hu was indeed an upright person. It's a pity that Uncle Hu is still in the filial piety period now, otherwise, my father would definitely come to visit and not return home with Uncle Hu. ”

In just a few words, Hu Ziming's mood was as cold as drinking ice in winter.

What Su Chengzhang means is that the Su family already knows that behind Huang Ruizao, there is the handwriting of the Hu family, and they have the evidence. Moreover, Su Chengzhang specially emphasized the matter of filial piety, which shows that the Su family, like the Ye family, got the handle of adultery and pregnancy during his filial piety.

Hu Zimingqiang said with a smile: "I'm still in filial piety, and I have to deal with the matter of my little sister and leaving, in the future, in the future......"

Ye Zhujin said in a timely manner: "Seeing that you get along well, I am also happy." By the way, I heard Ye Lang's mother say that there is a person named Lin'er in your house, and Jiao'er is a sister, why don't you go and serve her together, is that good? ”

Hu Ziming stared at Ye Zhujin's smiling eyes, and could only grit his teeth and say, "Okay, let Lin Er serve the little sister." As for the book of harmony, the Ye family can do it whenever they want, I have no opinion. ”

After speaking, Hu Ziming left in disgrace, and the elders of the Hu family did not stay for a long time, so they also said goodbye one after another.

Ye Qiong sneered in her heart.

Su Chengzhang was specially invited by her, and the will to seal the sacrificial wine arrived early this morning, and then she invited Su Chengzhang to come, just waiting to make up for it after completely defeating Hu Ziming.

Taking this opportunity, Uncle Su's sacrificial position can also be more stable. The implementation of the reform of Guozijian is not only beneficial to the Ye family, who is about to have an heir to enter Guozijian, but even has a far-reaching impact on the entire Daliang.

As for the Hu family, as soon as Hu Zhezhang died, Huang Ruizao, who supported him, failed to win the battle for sacrificial wine, and now he has even broken off his in-laws with the Ye family.

The defeat of the Hu family is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need for Ye Qiong to make another move.
