Chapter 192: Venting
Reef thought it was a really good idea.
Regardless of whether the Yingchuan Hou Mansion will agree to send the prince to Minzhou Wei, and whether the Yingchuan Hou Shizi will dislike Minzhou Wei is not a place where he can make contributions, anyway, Zhou Shigong replied to the capital with this suggestion, and whether he agreed or not is a matter of the capital.
If Zhou Shuyi thought of the love of her brother and sister, dispelled the idea of killing people, and stopped in time, then even if the Sun family sent another killer to kill people in her name, she could explain clearly afterwards that she had done nothing, and she could also report the Sun family who had instigated her, so that Yingchuan Hou could recognize who was the culprit.
But if Zhou Shuyi is so mad that she ignores the future of her brother and continues to carry out the murder plan for the sake of the title of the Marquis of Yingchuan, after the accident, the person who will be responsible is also Zhou Shicheng, a side branch of the Zhou family, not the young general of the Zhenguo Mansion. The Zhenguo Mansion and the rest of the Zhou family may be slightly implicated, but the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion will only hold grudges against Zhou Shuyi and her maiden relatives, not the entire Zhou family.
Unlike in the previous life, the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan did not have an accident on the territory of the Zhou family's three rooms, but was killed in Ganzhou City, where the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo was seated, and the Mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo was involved, and it was difficult to shirk responsibility.
As long as the Zhenguo family, the pillar of the Northwest Frontier Army, is safe and sound, and can continue to be in charge of the border army, the Zhou family's three rooms are unlucky, and it will not hinder the overall situation. In the past, out of selfishness, Mrs. Ma deliberately cultivated her stepson Zhou Shigong to go in the direction of the imperial examination civil officials, which made his relationship with the border army estranged a lot. He is just an idle post now, even if he suffers from the disaster of the pond fish and loses his official position, it will not have a negative impact on the army. Anyway, he is also old, and it is already time to go home to retire.
The aunt and grandmother of the Hai brothers and sisters, Zhou Ma, and her children and grandchildren may feel that they are wronged, but they have never been close to Mrs. Ma's mother and daughter, and there is a limit to how much they can be implicated. Zhou Ma can continue to live a house life in Chang'an City with peace of mind, just like in his previous life. And her son and son-in-law are stationed at the border town guard, and it is estimated that they will not notice any difference between life and work at all, right?
After Haijiao cleared his mind, he felt more and more that it was a good idea. However, he didn't plan to let his grandparents persuade his aunt and grandfather Zhou Shigong, but decided to go out himself: "We can't explain clearly, why are we so sure that Zhou Shuyi will definitely send someone to kill the Hou Shizi of Yingchuan, and grandpa and cousin are too shrewd, in case we accidentally say something wrong, they will definitely get to the bottom of it." Why bother asking for trouble? I'll just go find Aunt Zhou's grandfather myself. It's just that I was a child and said it casually, but if my aunt and grandfather themselves thought that my words made sense and did so, it would not be my responsibility. I'm a half-old kid, what can I understand?! ”
Haijiao is now a lot thicker-skinned, and he really deserves to be a spy in his previous life.
Haitang gave a thumbs up to his brother, and helped to think of an excuse: "We don't have to go to the third room of the Zhou family to find him." Didn't my aunt just pretend to be sick now? Now that she should be cured, let's go to visit her instead of Grandma and bring her some food and supplies. Brother, when you go to the third room of the Zhou family, you must meet the elders, and when you get to your aunt and grandfather, you can find a chance to laugh. ”
Haijiao groaned: "He is now angry with Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi, thinking that they are calculating him, and saying that he doesn't want to help Zhou Shuyi anymore." But if it refuses bluntly, it is easy for the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion to pick the Zhou family's reason. After all, Mrs. Ma's intrigue is not something he can talk about casually. And this matter can't be said, the Zhou family's unprovoked refusal of the in-laws' request for trivial matters is too unsympathetic. In case someone sues the emperor, it will only make the emperor misunderstand that the Zhou family is unreasonable-
Regardless of whether people will sue or not, anyway, with the temper of the Zhou family's aunt and grandfather, he will probably think so, and in the end he can only find a reason to refuse aggrievedly...... But this is completely unnecessary, there is no need to refuse, just send someone to Mrs. Ma's own son. Whether it is the Marquis of Yingchuan who wants to dig the foot of the wall of the Northwest Frontier Army, or Zhou Shuyi wants to harm someone's life, they just eat the dog of their own family, and they have nothing to do with others! ”
Haijiao and his sister quickly considered all the excuses, and went to find Ma's and persuaded her to send herself to visit her aunt Zhou Ma's tomorrow.
Haitang also beat the side drum, expressing her willingness to go out with her brother.
Ma Shi said angrily: "You brothers and sisters will make a mess of your forehead!" I just went to see your aunt and grandmother yesterday, what are you going to do tomorrow?! It's all in the lunar month, there are so many things at home, you can take a hand when you're idle, don't think about going out all day long! ”
Haitang hugged her grandmother and said, "Grandma! My brother and I didn't want to hang out. We have never been to Chang'an, we don't know much about the people, things, things, and relatives here, you have been away for more than ten years, and you still have a lot of things that you don't know, and now you are busy and difficult to be distracted, in addition to looking for aunts, who else can we ask about? When I passed yesterday, you were only concerned about talking about yourself, and I didn't bother to ask anything else, didn't I want to go to my aunt and grandmother again and have a good chat?
"Besides, you gave so many ideas to your aunt yesterday, and I don't know if she did it in the past two days, and whether she was bullied again? Was my aunt and grandfather fooled by Mrs. Ma again? We all have to inquire to feel at ease. Otherwise, the next time you see your aunt and grandmother, if she cries again and complains that she has been wronged at home, won't you be angry? ”
That, of course, would be infuriating.
Ma Shi thought about his eldest sister's behavior now, and he was really a little uneasy: "Well, I went to see your uncle and grandmother today, and I guess your aunt and grandmother also want to know how we met. You don't have to say too much, just mention your aunt's door-slamming posture and your demeanor. Anyway, the face of the Ma family has long been lost by the sister-in-law, and the forehead has been away for many years, so there is nothing to mind, but your aunt and grandmother may not be able to see it. Let her know that she has covered up for her sister-in-law and did not let the Ma family lose face in front of her neighbors, and she can feel more at ease. ”
Although the grandsons and granddaughters did not go to the third room of the Zhou family as guests seriously, Ma was not willing to be picky in the number of etiquette, so he specially ordered Aunt Cui to prepare some gifts, most of which were medicinal materials and food that could be used to replenish the body after the patient recovered.
Since Aunt Cui was asked to prepare gifts, Ma simply asked her to prepare two more generous gifts. She was going to visit Mrs. Wednesday, so naturally she couldn't come to the door empty-handed.
Aunt Cui took the order and left. Haitang asked Ma with some curiosity: "Grandma, are you going to go to the Zhenguo Mansion to ask for peace?" ”
"You're going too. Didn't you say you were going to see Miss Wenjun? Ma said, "The news I got from your uncle today, I thought about it on the way back, and I felt relieved, so it was better to go and say hello to Mrs. Wednesday." ”
Although Zhou Shuyi did not succeed in marrying Sun Gelao's granddaughter for her son, but asked Changfang's nephew to intercept Hu, but she hid this idea from her mother's family and took action, so the Zhou family could not help but be vigilant.
Mrs. Ma concealed her stepson and her husband's family and provided financial and material support for her daughter, which is also a big crime. This may be more serious than her fault of prying the foot of the border military wall and building a private glass workshop, and it cannot be ignored.
The penalty for both crimes is combined. Even if Zhou Shigong was coaxed by his stepmother again, Mrs. Ma could no longer hold the power of the Zhou family's three rooms. How can a daughter-in-law who has given birth to an outsider continue to be respected and treated favorably by the clan?
Ma snorted lightly and decided to let out a small breath of evil for his eldest sister first.
