Chapter 1 Forced Concubinage
Lightning and thunder roared, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and a group of people knelt in the ring hall of the Wei State Mansion in the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Wei Qing on the main seat had a solemn face, and his eyes were like torches staring at the thin Wei Shuyao under the hall.
"Do you know what's wrong?!" Wei Qing shouted sharply.
Wei Shuyao lowered his head, his voice trembled, and he choked with tears: "The child doesn't know, I hope my father will make it clear." ”
"Dare to pretend you don't know?"
Wei Qing's hands trembled angrily, and he threw a stack of letters straight at Wei Shuyao, and the letters scattered and hit Wei Shuyao in the face.
Wei Shuyao's soft noodles fell like a sieve, shaking and coughing.
The maid beside her knelt down with a thud, kowtowed a few times, and said with teary eyes: "The lady is weak, the lord, please take care of the lord." ”
"Presumptuous! The following offenses, slap the mouth! Yang Fu, the mother of the Wei family on the east side of the main seat, shouted sharply.
The servant beside Yang Fu immediately stepped forward and grabbed Juan Xuan's sleeve, raised his slap high, and was about to fall hard, but was cut off by a soft and delicate refutation.
Wei Shuyao stood up stiffly, and then raised her eyes, tears filled her beautiful little face, which was thrillingly beautiful.
"If Aya wants to be punished, punish me, it's because I don't discipline well, but I still want to know what mistakes I made."
Wei Qing's voice was cold and hard: "Look for yourself, you have a marriage contract and an adulterous correspondence with a foreign man, do you know what crime this is?" ”
Wei Shuyao picked up the letter on the ground, on which were the small poems he wrote on weekdays, and the handwriting he didn't know when he turned to the back, all of them were obscene and colorful, but each of them could match his own poems.
Wei Shuyao was shocked in her heart, and glanced at Yang Fu on the main seat, her stepmother stared at her viciously, what else did she not understand.
Her letter was taken away, Yang Fu made a fake to slander, and there was a mole in her yard.
The marriage with the prime minister's son made Yang Fu hate himself.
Wei Shuyao is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei, but since her mother died, Wei Qing hurriedly carried Yang Fu into the door, and her life as the eldest daughter was no different from that of her descendants.
The stepmother also has a son and a daughter, so she wants to snatch the marriage contract and the inheritance left to her by her mother, and in the past ten years, Wei Shuyao has been extremely difficult to calculate, harsh and humiliated, and the young Wei Shuyao can only pretend to be weak and dull for the time being.
But this is only a mitigation plan, and one day, she will leave here with her mother's things and walk out beautifully.
Wei Shuyao wiped away her tears, twitched her nose, and said, "Aya, I wrote this poem, but for the rest, I really ...... I really don't know. ”
Her eyes were confused, she looked sluggish and stupid, and she couldn't spit out a word after speaking, just cried blindly.
Yang Fu stood up, took out a birthday note and a letter from his sleeve, and threw them at Wei Shuyao's feet.
The smile was stacked on Yang Fu's heavily makeup face, and it seemed that fangs had grown under the dim candlelight, and his face was hideous.
She said in a weird manner: "The Prime Minister's Mansion knows about this matter, and the other party has already handed over the divorce letter." ”
Wei Shuyao's body twitched after hearing this, her hands trembled and pinched the divorce letter, and finally her eyes were black and she almost fainted.
Juan Yao hurriedly helped her up, supporting Wei Shuyao with half of her body.
The moment Wei Shuyao opened his eyes, Yang Fu's voice sounded again: "Now that such a scandal has happened and I have been divorced, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a good family again, but I, a mother, have to think about it." ”
She took a sip of tea slowly, her kind eyes as if she was really planning for Wei Shuyao.
"There is also a family affair that matches you, Shangshu's left servant shoots Lord Lin and intends to Shu Niang, what does Shu Niang think?"
She tilted her head slightly, staring at Wei Shuyao's face, as if she was about to dig a hole.
Shangshu left servant shot, from the second grade of the real power, there are not fifty but also sixty, there must be a wife.
The Southern Jin Dynasty attaches great importance to actual performance and suppresses the world, the Duke of Wei has no power, and the grade is not high, and the three generations of the lord have passed, and there is no son in charge of the real job in the family, and Wei Qing has long had the idea of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.
It's all on this table, it seems that Wei Qing and Yang Fu have already sold themselves.
Wei Shuyao's brain spun rapidly, and he sorted out everything, and many strategies came to his mind.
But she didn't show it on her face, she still lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, and looked forward to Ai Ai: "The child really didn't have fornication letters, Aya believed me, woo woo ......." ”
Wei Qing snorted coldly, his face showing disdain: "You still dare to quibble." ”
"I don't want to...... I don't want to marry, Aye, Aye......"
Wei Qing glared at Wei Shuyao, who was sobbing quietly, and shouted angrily: "How can I stand you this time!" ”
When the words sounded, Wei Shuyao's body trembled, her back was bent, her shoulders were curled, no matter how she looked at it, she was a cowardly and incompetent woman.
She chattered her teeth and said, "I...... I ......"
"Look at you, and then look at Linlang and Yanlang, your sister fourteen knows how to nourish your mind for your mother Qi Fu and health, and your younger brother goes out to study and waits for the glorious lintel, what about you! Only trouble! ”
Wei Qing brushed his sleeves and left.
Yang Fu also stood up, she stopped beside Wei Shuyao, and a fierce voice sounded: "Shu Niang, do it yourself." ”
Wei Shuyao stared straight at Wei Qing's departing back, and he didn't even look at her.
Closing her eyes, Wei Shuyao sighed softly, and also got up and went back to the courtyard.
Juan Ying has been crying since she returned to the Wei Courtyard, and Harrier has been angrily scolding Cheng Yu who quit the marriage after hearing about it.
"This negative man, the lady was slandered by the woman and he didn't ask for verification, and directly withdrew from the marriage, this is ...... But it's a marriage contract with the seal of the house. ”
"What now? Or, the lady went to Cheng Langjun to explain and explain? Juan Xuan proposed.
Wei Shuyao's expression was sad: "The divorce letter has been handed over, the other party's family has a big business, even if you believe my explanation, this marriage will not be concluded." ”
"Besides, the decline of the Guogong Mansion is because they are unwilling to respond to the marriage contract, I am afraid that they have already wanted to retreat, and they just have an excuse, otherwise it would be better for Aya to hold the Prime Minister's Mansion tightly?"
Juan Xuan was shocked when she heard this, and asked cautiously tentatively, "What does the lady mean...... This also has the meaning of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”
"Otherwise, can this line be climbed by Aye? I don't go out of the door, so how could Lin Shangshu see me. Aya is cowardly, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will not dare to coerce him a little. ”
Her face was solemn, and she didn't look like she was mourning in the ring hall at all.
Both Juan and Harrier were silent and did not dare to speak.
Wei Shuyao smiled, got up and raised his feet: "Go to the study and have a look." ”
The door of the study was tightly closed, Wei Shuyao moved a stool and stepped on it to look at the eaves, and the scratches on it were really wrong.
On the eaves of the door is a small sheet of marble that can be scratched, and one is changed every night. Small copper cones with sharp corners are hung on the door frame, which do not scratch when closed, and once the door is pushed open, it will make a long mark.
Taking away the flakes, Wei Shuyao's face sank, and she asked in a low voice, "When did the three in the courtyard come?" ”
The two maids pouted: "The lady forgot, the lord just dialed it half a month ago." ”
Wei Shuyao patted her head, a month ago, she had just given herself a red pox that it was smallpox, which scared away the two servants sent by Yang Fu.
"It's not a long-term solution to scare away, and you have to keep useful people, and I have something to explain when I go to the main house."
Wei Shuyao was helped back to the main room by two maids, her head was tilted on Harrier's shoulder, one eye opened slightly, and she looked at the three servants standing in three places in the courtyard, and she already had doubts in her heart.
The doors and windows of the main house were closed, and Wei Shuyao coughed while rummaging through the cabinets, and took out thirty copper plates from the bottom of the bed.
"One of you went to Hui'an Hall in Nanshi to buy medicine for me, and the other went to Liu Ji Pawnshop in Beifu City to be my jewelry."
Wei Shuyao pulled off the hairpin on his head and handed it to Juan Xuan, beckoned, and the two maids approached Wei Shuyao.
After hearing what she said, the two of them looked surprised, and Harrier took the lead in asking, "Can this work?" ”
Wei Shuyao smiled mysteriously, shook his fan, and said: "I heard that as soon as the general of the auxiliary state took office, he put away the rent and rectified the household registration, and he has recently participated in many wealthy families who refuse to pay taxes. ”
Harrier was even more puzzled: "But what does this have to do with the lady's marriage, could it be that it is rumored in the General's Mansion that Lord Lin robbed the people's daughter, and the general is willing to call the shots for the lady?" ”
Wei Shuyao shook his head and patiently explained: "Can the one who sits in the position of Shangshu's left servant shoot be soft bones?" If you are willing to obediently pay the rent, that is a lot of money. I'm making a deal with General Huan, I give him what he wants, and he gives me a favor. Forcing a woman to marry is said to be light, and it is a big crime of human trafficking, not to mention that I am still from the Guogong Mansion, holding a handle to deter Lin Shangshu, and I can also kill chickens and monkeys, why not do General Huan. ”
After speaking, she raised her eyebrows with her head propped up, and her tone pretended to be deep: "I only hope that General Huan is a smart person." ”
"I still don't understand, this marriage is all set by the lord's wife, and it is not forced on the side of the government." Harrier added sadly.
Wei Shuyao raised his hand and nodded at Harrier's head: "You, you still don't understand, since the handle is naturally explained by the person who caught it, as long as there is empirical evidence, it will definitely be useful, and then find me out to testify, don't want to escape." ”
"Go quickly, when you go out, you must let Yang Fu see where you are going." Wei Shuyao added.
The two maids walked away one after the other, and she opened the door, leaning against the door frame, her thin body fluttering in the wind, and the three servants looked at her.
The moment his eyes converged, Wei Shu fell down like a devastated wind, and slowly closed his eyes.
Guy was indeed tired......
Also, the sick seedling character can't be stopped.
