Chapter 18: The Surviving

Chen Niangzi's maiden name is Li, a native of another county, ten years younger than Chen Qi, and Chen Qi's wife.

The two are old husbands and young wives, married for ten years, and have always been in love. But the fly in the ointment is that the two have no heirs.

Now that Chen Qi is dead, although there is no mourning hall at home, the air is already filled with endless grief.

Pushing open the red lacquered wooden door, Ye Feng and Wu Teng Catcher walked into Chen's house with a group of catchers and saw the surviving Chen Niangzi.

Mrs. Chen is 26 years old this year and is in the prime of her youth. With tears in her eyes, she looked back and looked at her with a look of trepidation: "A few adults, is there something wrong?" ”

Ye Feng looked around, and his eyes fell on this beautiful woman: "Are you Mrs. Chen?" ”

Chen Niangzi bowed slightly: "It's the people's woman." ”

Ye Feng nodded, and said quietly: "Chen Qi's body was found, and he drowned. ”

Chen Niangzi's eyelashes flickered, the tears in her eyes were more sufficient, and she turned around and secretly wiped her tears.

Looking at Mrs. Chen's sad appearance, Ye Feng comforted in a low voice: "People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Mrs. Chen beckoned a few people to sit down, and ordered the people in the house to serve tea.

Chen Qi is a well-known local businessman, with a wealthy family, and Mrs. Chen wears gold and silver, and every piece of jewelry on her body is expensive.

"It seems that your husband and wife have a good relationship, Chen Qi treats you very well on weekdays."

Ye Feng sat on the chair and slowly opened the topic.

Mrs. Chen nodded silently.

When Chen Niangzi first saw the catcher in official uniform, she thought it would be a torture, but she never expected that the tone of the young man in front of her was surprisingly gentle.

Although he is not wearing an official uniform, it seems that the catchers behind him listen to him, and it seems that he must be a big official.

This is even more different from the official difference in Chen Niangzi's impression.

After chatting for a few words, Mrs. Chen slowly lowered her guard in her heart and chatted with Ye Feng: "He is indeed very good to me......

Ye Feng nodded, looked around, and suddenly changed his words: "Have you been married for so long and have you never had children?" ”

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing directly into Mrs. Chen's heart. Her expression was very lonely, she let out a long sigh, and complained: "It's all because the people's belly is not angry, and she failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter......

Ye Feng smiled faintly, looked away, and said with emotion: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." It's a pity that no one inherits such a big family business......"

Mrs. Chen bit her lip lightly, and her eyes turned red unconsciously.

In ancient times, not only were the medical conditions backward, but people's concepts were even more backward. Once there is a situation of having no children under the knees, all the blame will be put on the woman.

For so many years, Mrs. Chen has suffered a lot of grievances because of this matter, and she has to face the white eyes of everyone every day, living like a sinner, and she will never be able to raise her head in the Chen family.

For a while, endless grievances poured into my heart, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Ye Feng looked at Mrs. Chen's appearance of pear blossoms with rain, and asked faintly, "Does Chen Qi have any other women outside?" ”

Chen Niangzi raised her head slightly, stared at Ye Feng, her eyebrows trembled, and she shook her head weakly.

Ye Feng looked at her gaze and sighed with emotion: "It seems that the relationship between your husband and wife is really good, if you change to someone else, you will definitely marry again." ”

Hearing this, Chen Niangzi's gaze was a little evasive, and she lowered her head silently.

Ye Feng paused, and then asked, "Does he usually go to the Qinglou?" ”

In this day and age, there was little entertainment, let alone nightlife. And women are almost always in a state of not going out of the door.

As for men, it is very common to go in and out of the Qinglou, drink and listen to music. From ancient times to the present, whether it is a dignitary or an old official, this is the case.

Therefore, for this question, Chen Niangzi has nothing difficult to say: "Naturally, I went." ”

"Alas......"

Ye Feng sighed, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly said to Mrs. Chen: "I understand you very well." ”

As she spoke, Mrs. Chen's eyes turned even redder. He stared at Ye Feng, as if he finally had a place to pour out his grievances.

However, what Chen Niangzi never expected was that Ye Feng slowly stood up and suddenly said to her: "But have you ever thought that after Chen Qi's death, will you still have the rich life you have now?" ”

Mrs. Chen's face changed slightly, and she was puzzled: "What did the adults say?" ”

Ye Feng smiled: "Ten years of husband and wife, even if you have not been able to have children, Chen Qi has not divorced you, to a certain extent, this is already a gift to you." But then again, in recent years, he has put all his energy into the business of the dyeing workshop, and he often goes in and out of the Qinglou and ignores you. It is human nature for him to snub you so much, and you are red and apricot out of the wall. ”

"The women don't understand what adults mean." Mrs. Chen's expression was a little flustered.

"Then I'll tell you something you understand."

Ye Feng turned his head slightly and looked at her coldly: "You Hongxing went out of the wall, committed adultery with the boatman Hu San, and did something against morality. Now, the two of you are not satisfied with secretly colluding every day, so they conspired to kill Chen Qi. ”

"What?!"

Hearing these remarks, the head catcher Wu Teng and the group of catchers on the side were all shocked.

Ye Feng slowly walked to Mrs. Chen's side, his fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and said quietly: "You really shouldn't have murdered Chen Qi with Hu San, have you ever thought that when Chen Qi is here, you can make you worry about food and clothing, and now that Chen Qi is dead, can Hu San give you the life you want?" ”

Chen Niangzi's face was bloodless, and her eyes widened subconsciously, looking at Ye Feng in disbelief.

"Chen Qi went in and out of the Qinglou, you and Hu San committed adultery, the two of you could have been fine, why did you break this delicate balance?" Ye Feng shook his head slightly, puzzled by this.

"My lord, the women don't understand." Chen Niangzi clenched her hands, beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, and the whole person just mechanically defended: "The folk woman really doesn't understand." ”

Ye Feng walked in front of Mrs. Chen, bowed slightly, and stared at her: "Don't you really understand?" ”

Chen Niangzi subconsciously avoided Ye Feng's eyes, her body slowly curled up together, and shook her head.

Ye Feng smiled faintly and straightened up again: "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, because Hu San has already confessed." ”

That's impossible!

Although Chen Niangzi didn't say these four words, her expression was no different. But even so, she still forced her composure and flatly denied Ye Feng's accusations: "The people are wronged!" Adults can't just listen to Hu San's words. ”

Ye Feng was expressionless, and even said a few words for Hu San: "You can't blame him for this matter, Hu San really didn't say anything at first, but when the thirty big boards hit his body, even the copper skin and iron bones can't bear it." Now, he's done everything, and he's saying that the whole thing was planned by you, and it has nothing to do with him, and he's just doing what you say. ”
