Chapter 47: The Last Struggle

Mrs. Zhang heard that Lu Wei came to Zhang's house to find Zhang Yuying, and she was happy, feeling that Lu Wei was interested in Zhang Yuying, and she could get married after Zhang Yuying and Lu. When the time comes, the little couple will live a harmonious life, and the county lord Duanshu and Lu Wei will pull Zhang Yuqian again and gain a firm foothold in the court, and she will have no regrets in her life.

Before she could finish her daydreaming, she heard the maid come in a hurry to tell her that she was standing outside the flower hall and heard Zhang Yuying and Lu Wei quarreling, and Zhang Yuying was crying quite a lot. It's just that the masters don't let them get closer, and they don't know what is said inside.

Mrs. Zhang was in a hurry, and immediately got up and went to the flower hall, not letting Zhang Yuying offend Lu Wei by not being serious.

When Mrs. Zhang arrived, Lu Wei had already finished talking to Zhang Yuying, saluted Mrs. Zhang, and said goodbye.

"It's all here, stay and have a meal!" Mrs. Zhang said warmly.

Lu Wei declined, "I still have something, I'll visit another day." ”

Mrs. Zhang has always had a sense of awe in her heart for a noble son like Lu Wei, how dare she force her to stay, so she could only watch Lu Wei leave.

As soon as the others left, Mrs. Zhang immediately looked at Zhang Yuying.

Zhang Yuying sat on the stool in despair, her face was pale, and her originally well-dressed makeup had already cried and was embarrassed.

"What's going on!" Mrs. Zhang was shocked and angry, and slapped her face bitterly, "I have told you a long time ago, Mr. Lu is the son of the county lord, and he has a normal temper, you must follow him!" You're still arguing with him? Is this your time to make a difference? ”

Zhang Yuying couldn't bear it anymore, and cried bitterly on the small table.

"What's the use of crying? Hurry up and chase me out, and make a compensatory to Lu Gongzi! Mrs. Zhang pulled Zhang Yuying up, "The last time you had a quarrel with him in Zhuangzi, I already felt very inappropriate!" It's happening again this time! ”

"Mother, Mother!" Zhang Yuying couldn't cry, shook her head and said, "It's useless, it's useless to apologize!" ”

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Why is it useless? Men eat this set, you are gentle, he can still give you a face? ”

Zhang Yuying still shook her head and said tremblingly: "I, I, I asked Uncle Tong to tie up Zhang Yuqing and sell him to other places, so that he would know!" He's so angry! ”

"What!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe it, she sat down on the chair in shock, and it took a long time to find her voice, shocked and angry, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Yuying cried and said: "I haven't seen her arrogant and excessive, as long as she disappears from our house, won't there be no trouble?" Mother, you're just too soft-hearted! ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't care about reprimanding her, and hurriedly whispered, "How did he know?" That's what you admitted? Are you stupid? No matter what he says, you just don't admit it! There is no evidence, how can he think that you instructed Guo Tong? ”

"He, he found the letter I wrote to Uncle Tong......" Zhang Yuying said embarrassedly.

The word is her word, how can she not recognize it, besides, this is the first time she has done such a cruel thing, she was already weak and timid, when Lu Wei put the letter in front of her, she panicked.

Mrs. Zhang was suffocated when she heard this, and she couldn't wait to give Zhang Yuying two slaps to relieve her hatred, and said through gritted teeth: "How stupid should you be, you actually wrote a letter to order this kind of thing?" Aren't you deliberately trying to keep a handle for yourself! Can't you find a maid to pass the word? Even if the matter is revealed, as long as you don't admit it to death, there is no evidence, what can others do to you? Now it's okay, let Lu Gongzi smash the letter in his face! ”

"I'm afraid that the maid can't speak clearly and make a mistake." Zhang Yuying said with tears and remorse, "I'm also afraid that Uncle Tong will be timid and dare not act, I think of writing a letter, which means that this matter is my personal order, and he doesn't dare not do it!" ”

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "I told you a long time ago, if you don't have a foolproof certainty, you must not start easily, lest you put yourself in it!" You didn't even hear a word! ”

"I'm just anxious and want to share my mother's worries!" Zhang Yuying was aggrieved, "As long as she is gone, no one will come to rob Zhuangzi!" ”

Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath and sighed: "It's also that I protect you too well on weekdays!" But now that I think about it, the matter has not reached the most serious point, Lu Gongzi personally came to the door and handed over this letter to you alone, for you, for the Zhang family, and even for himself to save face. He also wanted to cover up this matter, and turn the big thing into a small thing. ”

Zhang Yuying's face turned even paler, she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Zhang's face, and shook her head, "No, he, he wants me to promise him three things......"

"What three things? You said. Mrs. Zhang sighed, and couldn't help but count her down again, "It's not that you are too sloppy in doing things, so that he grabbed your handle, don't say three things at this time, even thirty things have to be agreed!" Men, no matter what virtue they are, they like kind women, and you must make him unhappy about this, it's really troublesome! ”

Mrs. Zhang's heart was irritable, man, isn't that what happened? Those three things may be that Lu Wei raised an outer room or something outside, and took the opportunity to get Zhang Yuying to agree to bring people in.

also blamed Zhang Yuying for being stupid, so Lu Wei grabbed the handle.

As long as it's not too much, it's too aggressive, so you can only pinch your nose and admit it.

"What are the three things? You mean! Mrs. Zhang waited for a long time, but she didn't see Zhang Yuying speak, so she asked angrily.

Zhang Yuying cried for a long time, and said hesitantly: "First, take the two Zhuangzi to the government and transfer them to Zhang Yuqing......"

Mrs. Zhang changed color when she heard this, "Why did he stand out for that broom star?" Isn't it that broom star ......?"

"I don't look like it!" Zhang Yuying whispered, "That broom star is stupid and stupid, with mud legs, can Lu Gongzi look at her?" ”

Mrs. Zhang said impetuously: "What do you know! No matter how vulgar the broom is, Lu Wei is tired of eating big fish and meat, and occasionally tastes a porridge and side dish, and he feels fresh! ”

"I don't look like it! Probably not! If there were, the broom star wouldn't have to lift its tail to the sky! Zhang Yuying emphasized that Lu Wei fell on her face for a mud-legged broom, how could she accept this? After thinking about it, Zhang Yuying felt that Lu Wei was too dignified and gentlemanly, and couldn't accept what she did for a while, so she angrily put forward three conditions to compensate the victims.

"Let's not talk about it for the first time, delay it for a few days, and see if we can stop it!" Mrs. Zhang also felt that it was unlikely, Lu Wei, a child who had been excellent and dazzling since he was a child, and it was unlikely that he would do such a humiliating thing when he returned to the capital in full view of everyone.

Mrs. Zhang asked again, "What about the second?" ”

Zhang Yuying didn't dare to say it at all, and seeing that she couldn't drag it on, she said in a trembling voice: "He, he asked us to convert the income of Zhuangzi over the years into cash and hand it over to that broom star!" ”

"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zhang was shocked and angry, Zhuangzi's income has already been eaten and drunk over the years, where can she make such a large amount of money?

Mrs. Zhang immediately stood up, "This is too much!" It's clear that you don't take our Zhang family seriously! In the final analysis, this is the Zhang family's housework, even if Lu Gongzi is the son-in-law of the Zhang family, he can't interfere like this! ”

I knew that these two conditions were the same, it was better for Lu Wei to raise an outer room outside, and take the opportunity to let the Zhang family pinch their noses and admit it!

"The third condition was that he made me swear that I would never do anything unconscionable again. If anything happens to Zhang Yuqing and he doesn't marry peacefully, he will count the matter on my head! Zhang Yuying broke the jar and said the third condition.

Mrs. Zhang was furious, "If something happens to that little, it will be on your head?" He's actually threatening you for that little! ”

"That broom star is really damned, if I don't kill her, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! Lu Wei also said that the broom star has a pitiful background, her parents died, I really shouldn't treat her like this! Zhang Yuying shouted angrily, tearing the handkerchief in her hand hard, as if Zhang Yuqing was the handkerchief, gritting her teeth fiercely, "She deserved the death of her parents!" She killed her father and mother, what does it matter to me? Could it be that her father and mother were killed by us? ”

Zhang Yuying was just casually angry, with no intentions, but Mrs. Zhang's face changed greatly after hearing it, and she scolded sharply: "What nonsense! ”

"Mother, you, you scared me!" Zhang Yuying clutched her chest and shouted.

Mrs. Zhang paced in the room irritably, and finally waved her hand and said: "The third condition doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if a country girl lives or dies, we just spare her life." Since he mentioned it, it means that he is still satisfied with you, and he doesn't want any changes in the marriage between the two of you......"

"But he said it, if one of the three conditions is not completed, he, he, he will ......" Zhang Yuying cried again, crying in fear, "I asked his mother to come forward and withdraw from the marriage contract!" ”

Mrs. Zhang's eyes widened, and her legs fell limply and sat down on the chair.

"That's what he said?" Mrs. Zhang asked in a trembling voice.

Zhang Yuying nodded, knelt in front of Mrs. Zhang, pulled Mrs. Zhang's clothes, and cried, "Mother, I can't be dismissed, I can't!" If I am divorced, what face will I have? I'm going to die! ”

Mrs. Zhang didn't know that if Zhang Yuying was dismissed, it would be a devastating blow to the reputation and future of the Zhang family. Over the years, relying on the family affairs of Zhang Yuying and Lu Wei, Zhang Yuying has firmly occupied the position of the fourth lady in the capital, and she is also favored and sought after by many ladies.

Zhang Yuqian even relied on Lu Wei to meet and make friends with many upper-class sons.

She couldn't imagine what would become of the Zhang family if she lost this family business!

"No, it's impossible!" Mrs. Zhang shook her head in a trembling voice, "He scared you!" The marriage contract was made by the two elders a long time ago, how could he say that he would quit? ”

Zhang Yuying cried and shook her head, "Mother, you believe me, he really wants to divorce me!" You don't know the way he looks at me today, it's really scary! ”

"No, no, let me think about it, I'm going to visit His Royal Highness the Lower County Lord and find out the ......," Madame Zhang said with a glimmer of hope.

Zhang Yuying felt that Lu Wei had a cold and hard personality, but she was afraid that the county lord would come forward, and I was afraid that she would not be able to change his mind, but she felt that it would be great if her mother could come forward to say that the county lord would be moved, filial piety is bigger than the sky, how can Lu Wei have to listen to the elders, right?
