Chapter 140: Why

Sun was also shocked, she didn't know Xiao Xia, but after listening to her introduction, she knew that she was Xia's sister, Sun thought about the in-law relationship of Anping Bofu in her mind, she was not like Geng Xingshuang, she needed to figure it out for a long time, just one or two breaths, Sun searched for Xiao Xia's maiden family and in-law's family in her mind, she smiled coldly.

"Bold, Mrs. Ben is the Lady of the Prince, who are you? What is the identity? How dare you insult Mrs. Ben in public? Your Master Zhu has cultivated all his life and is very knowledgeable, so he must be able to memorize the law of my Daning like a stream, but Mrs. Ben wants to ask him, what should be the crime of insulting the second rank of the princess in public! ”

Sun's voice was not loud, at least not as loud as Xiao Xia's shouting just now, but she wrenched her face, her eyes were awe-inspiring with a slight disdain, and Xiao Xia's who had always only understood shrews and scolded the street was half a cut shorter.

Xiao Xia unconsciously took a few steps back, bluffed for a long time without speaking, finally relieved himself a little, and looked around, when she saw Geng Shulou on the side, she hurriedly walked a few steps and grabbed Geng Shulou's arm.

"Brother Lou, you are a scholar, you told your aunt, is what she said true? I just said those words, and the court will really condemn me for a few words? ”

Geng Shulou was unexpectedly caught by Xiao Xia's and involved himself.

He looked at his grandmother, if it was in the past, anyone in Xiao Xia's Mansion could be embarrassed, if it was to find trouble with Geng Cheng and Geng Shulou, Xia would not watch it.

But this time, Xia didn't look at Geng Shulou at all, her eyes were always staring at Geng Cheng's coffin, her tears had dried up, but the grief did not stop.

"Brother Lou, you've been reading for so many years, and you've all been admitted to show talent, don't you even know this?"

Seeing that Geng Shulou didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Xia couldn't help but relapse into his old ways, and his words were full of sarcasm.

Meng Shizi glanced at the Sun family, their husband and wife came this time to sell that one, not to settle a grudge.

Sun understands that if it weren't for Xiao Xia's words being too ugly, she wouldn't have given face to the Geng family's relatives on the spot, thinking that she would be dignified and the wife of the prince of the Houfu Mansion, who goes in and out of various social occasions all the year round, and she can only bow down and be small when it comes to socializing, which is the suppression of identity, but she has never suffered a loss in socializing.

Today should be bitten by an old dog, Sun was about to open his mouth to relieve Geng Shulou, when he heard Geng Shulou say gently: "Auntie, the law of Daning does say that those who commit the following offenses are only for the benefit of their tongues, ten rods, and those who have limb collisions, according to the severity of their duties, may be thirty rods or exiled for thousands of miles, and those who cause injuries will be hanged or beheaded by themselves, or their families may be implicated." ”

Geng Shulou is talking about the content of the law that he summed up, and its text is far more simple, there are many regulations in it, he can't recite them one by one, and even if he remembers them all, he memorized them one by one to Xiao Xia's listen, with Xiao Xia's simple mind, he can't understand it.

Indeed, for Xiao Xia's family, Geng Shulou's words were enough to determine, but what Geng Shulou didn't say was that he hadn't heard of the government offices of Ningdu City and the county government accepting such a case.

"That'...... So what am I going to do now? Xiao Xia regretted it very much, just now she was just angry for a while, forgetting that the person standing opposite her was not the person from Bofu, but the lady of the prince of Yongqing Houfu.

"Auntie, as long as Mrs. Shizi doesn't pursue it, you'll be fine." Geng Shulou said warmly.

Xiao Xia understood, and was about to apologize to Sun, but heard that Sun had already said goodbye to Yao, and said a few words of comfort to Geng Shulou and Geng Xingbing, and did not pay attention to Xia, who was walking towards her, and then left with Meng Shizi.

Xiao Xia was a little panicked, and turned his head to ask Geng Shulou, "Brother Lou, this ......?"

Geng Shulou had already knelt down, "Please forgive my aunt and grandmother, my father died suddenly, and I have no time to take care of anything else." ”

As he spoke, he knelt on the futon, bowed down, touched his forehead to the ground, and ignored the disturbances outside.

Xiao Xia's face turned red, and her two daughters-in-law also felt ashamed, they had heard someone talking about their Zhu family being the real ignorant of etiquette, and when they entered the mourning hall, they neither worshiped the deceased, nor comforted the family of the deceased, but only thought about flattery and talked to the nobles, and the result was ......

"Tsk, with such a heart, just be an old lady in your own home, as long as you don't go out, it is the greatest contribution to the family."

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhu family heard a man and his companion who came to mourn whispering, and their faces turned red, but they both thought so in their hearts.

Xiao Xia's naturally didn't hear other people's discussions, Sun's left, Geng Shulou ignored her, if it was before, she would definitely have to teach Geng Shulou a lesson from the perspective of the elders, but today, she couldn't help it, she walked to Xia's side and called "big sister".

"You finally remembered me, your nephew is gone, I'm not in the mood to talk to you, you better go back to your brother-in-law, tell him about today's events, and let him go to Yongqing Houfu to make amends, otherwise your family will ...... in the future."

Xia shook his head and glanced at the nervous Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia looked at his own sister's eyes, and was a little scared, those eyes were hollow, as if she was going to drag people into some abyss where she couldn't see the world, she couldn't help but shrink back.

Xia Shi actually grinned at her, and said in a hoarse voice: "You better go back quickly, with my brother-in-law's temperament, I shouldn't blame you." ”

Geng Cheng stopped at home for seven days, invited a Taoist priest to practice, and seven days later, with the mighty funeral procession, the coffin was sealed and buried in the ancestral grave of the Geng family.

This time, Geng Cheng's funeral, under the strong request of Mrs. Bo, was treated according to the highest standards within the scope of specifications, and the cost was not excessive.

This made Bofu, which was already a little stretched, even more nervous about money.

But right now, whether it is Geng Xun or the Xia family, their focus is not on the money, but on Geng Cheng's funeral, and the cause of his death should be explained.

In the past few days, Geng Xingshuang has roughly known the general outline of the matter from the news inquired by Geng Wen, Ruan and Jinbao, and as soon as the funeral is over, Geng Xun and Xia have taken action, and Geng Xingshuang has figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Pomegranate and grapes because they said the wrong thing, were punished by Xia, arranged for Geng Cheng to be a maid, after Geng Cheng was injured, his temper became more and more violent, and he scolded the people who served around him, Yao and a pair of children only went to see him every day, before pomegranate and grapes, Yao only let Zhang and Ni serve in a room, Zhang was slightly luckier, because the appearance was somewhat similar to Geng Xingshui's mother Tan Qingliu, Geng Cheng has always had an unforgettable old affection for Tan Qingliu in his heart, probably empathy, he wanted to be merciful to Zhang's subordinates.

But the patience of the Zhang family when he served will be transferred to the doubly violent nature of the Ni family's service, and the Ni family could not bear it, and he begged the Yao family many times, and he also killed himself for it, but he was rescued, and when the Yao family was about to spend money to buy people, pomegranates and grapes came.
