Chapter 126: News from the Inquiry
Xie Yanzhi saw her anxious appearance, and said slowly: "Don't worry, listen to me carefully!" ”
Li Yuan also knew that she was anxious, and if she wanted to know about that woman, she had to know what was going on with her husband's family and her mother's family.
Otherwise, what's the use of just knowing what her name is, whose daughter-in-law she is now.
Thinking of this, she simply pulled Xie Yanzhi into the kitchen.
"Brother Xie, light the fire for me, I have to cook, and I have to prepare food on the way back. Well, when you light the fire, tell me what the hell is going on. ”
Although this house is uninhabited all year round, there are pots and pans and firewood.
Xie Yanzhi nodded when he heard this: "Okay!" Don't touch these things yet, and you'll use them when I boil the water hot. ”
It was freezing cold, and Xie Yanzhi didn't want Li Yuan to touch these cold things.
Fortunately, when he was cleaning before, he washed the water tank and iron pot by the way.
Now the water in the tank is full, and the iron pot is clean because he has boiled hot water before.
After he filled most of the pot with water and lit the fire, he said: "The Chen family, that is, Chen Qingqing, is the young daughter of the Chen family, and her mother became weaker and weaker in the year she was born, and then died less than a year later.
She has an older brother and an older sister on her head. My sister is three years older, and my brother is one and a half years older. It's just that less than half a year after her mother's death, her brother died due to physical problems. The stepmother, who is now the mother of the Chen family, was helped up by the original concubine. ”
Li Yuan frowned when she heard this, and subconsciously felt that the death of the original partner and the brother who died before the child was probably made by the current head of the Chen family.
She had read a lot of house fighting novels in her previous life, and she had watched a lot of TV series about palace fights.
The selfish methods of the back house should not be underestimated.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying: whoever profits the most is the murderer.
How can there be so many coincidences, one or two in succession.
In her opinion, if the current Chen Qingqing is really the daughter of the Da Zhang family, she and Yang Gaowu are reversed.
Then this thing, eight times out of ten. Nine is what the original concubine, that is, the current Chen family's housewife, did.
It's just that there is no evidence for this matter now, it's all her speculation, so she can't jump to conclusions!
Xie Yanzhi obviously thought the same thing, so he continued to talk about the things he inquired about, one by one.
It is said that the current Chen family's housemother, Wu Yuer, is the maiden cousin daughter of the old lady of the Chen Mansion.
As for why he entered the palace as a concubine, this matter is unknown. It is only clear that less than three months after her original partner went west, she was supported as a wife.
It is also said that this person has a gentle and generous personality and treats people kindly. Chen Qingqing has been brought up by her since she was a child. ”
Li Yuan felt a little interesting, so she asked: "Then Chen, well, I said that Chen Qingqing's husband's family, according to what you said, she was the daughter of a rich family before, and now she is a rich lady, so she will not do such a dishonorable thing." ”
"Yuanniang, don't worry, and listen to me continue. Wu Yuer, the head mother of the Chen family, is said to have been sleepless day and night in order to take care of the three children left by the original partner.
The eldest girl is not sensible, she cries and asks for her mother all day long, and the sister-in-law in the middle is sick every now and then, and she needs someone to guard her all the time. The youngest Chen Qingqing is less than a year old, and she is not at ease to let the nurse and the girl take care of her.
No, I just guard the three children all day long, teach the big to read and practice calligraphy, and feed the medicine to the middle person, and the little one will hug her and coax her as soon as she is free. It is said that it is because of this that the old man of the Chen family thinks she is good, so he supports her as his wife. ”
Li Yuan was a little speechless, this woman was not like Canniang who was reborn. will be because of the events of the previous life, so I treat the original child with so much heart and lungs.
So, needless to say, she did it all for outsiders!
Anyway, the original partner died, and within half a year, the sister-in-law also died.
The two concubines can be sent as long as they give a little dowry.
And she pretended to be a few months, and then changed from a concubine to a housewife, and all the family wealth in the future belonged to her and her children.
What's more, because of those so-called care, they have gained a lot of good reputations.
"I heard that the eldest lady of the Chen family, although she was taken care of when she was a child, was not on good terms with her, and before she left the cabinet, she sang against her everywhere. She chose a good family affair, and the eldest lady of the Chen family couldn't look down on it, so she had to marry a poor scholar as his wife.
Because of this, Master Chen and Mrs. Chen were so angry that they didn't recognize her daughter and granddaughter. It is reported that it was this Wu Yuer who was maneuvering in the middle to let Miss Chen marry the person she liked, and in terms of dowry, she never treated her lightly. ”
When Xie Yanzhi said this, he looked at Li Yuan's hand that was stirring the rice in the pot with a shovel, and continued.
"Yuanniang, I heard the news, everyone scolded this white-eyed wolf of the eldest girl of the Chen family, and her stepmother treated her so well, but she said all kinds of bad things behind her back.
Even if she got so much dowry, her father-in-law was able to study with peace of mind because she was not short of money, and finally passed the Jinshi examination, but she still didn't say that her stepmother was good. ”
When Li Yuan heard the word Jinshi, his eyes widened slightly, as if he understood something.
"Brother Xie, what about that Chen Qingqing, what is her relationship with Wu Yuer, and who is she married to?"
Chen Qingqing has been close to Wu Yuer since he was a child, and because of Wu Yuer, he quarreled with his sister a lot. I heard that the sisters completely turned against each other in their early years and did not recognize each other to the outside world.
Chen Qingqing married the eldest son of the Gao family, because she was raised by Wu Yuer since she was a child, and when she got married, the dowry was fifty percent more than that of her sister, and it is said that many of them were posted privately by Wu Yuer.
Oh yes. Now Wu Yuer has also given birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter is fifteen years old this year, and the son is ten years old. ”
Li Yuan heard that Chen Qingqing had so many dowries, and then she had a concubine, but she was married to someone else's concubine, she was speechless and wanted to laugh.
"Then why did she disregard her face and make such a fuss outside today?"
"The rice grain shop is the Gao family's property, but the shopkeeper of the rice grain shop is the dowry steward arranged by Wu Yuer for Chen Qingqing.
There is a sixteen-year-old girl to be married in his family, who is Chen Qingqing's dowry girl, but this girl climbs behind her back. bed, with the uncle of the Gao family, that is, Chen Qingqing's man, hook. Together.
I heard that the uncle of the Gao family wanted to accept him as a concubine, but because Chen Qingqing was jealous, he was not allowed to rely on his mother's family. ”
When Li Yuan heard this, she interjected directly: "It's her girl, she must have a deed of sale." If you don't want to, wouldn't it be good to sell people directly while the man is away? ”
There were many such things in ancient times.
Not to mention the girl who sells herself, there is a favored concubine, and the housewife who sells while the man is not at home.
By the time the man returns, the man will be gone for a long time.
And it is impossible for a man to turn his face for his wife who gave birth to children just because of a concubine.
When Xie Yanzhi heard this, he said, "Yuan Niang knows, what is called killing?" ”
"Hmmm! Brother Xie, what do you mean, her personality is not good, is it deliberately done by Wu Yuer? ”
