Chapter 53 Great Rejoicing
His tone was very calm, and you couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.
But it seems to be carrying a huge force and weighing heavily on people's hearts.
Xue Sui knew that this was a tactic commonly used during interrogations, to try to get the upper hand and test others. The thief had a guilty conscience and showed his cowardice accidentally, and his inner thoughts were fully reflected on his face, making it clear to everyone.
Xue Sui met his eyes without any change in his body or expression.
"Is it just because I came back from Old Lingmao?"
Li Huan's tone was slightly hesitant when he saw her speaking frankly about Jiulingmarsh.
"I have verified that these things are more or less the work of Jiu Lingmao..."
Xue Sui stood in front of him calmly, looking at him like a green plum and a green bamboo. The corners of his clothes were motionless. Only his clear eyes flickered, as if he didn't have the slightest fear of the powerful His Highness Duan Wang in front of him. There was no wave in his eyes.
"My lord must have found out about me already. Xue Liu has suffered in Jiulingmarsh for ten years, and he is also familiar with one or two of the disciples of the corpse-keeper in Jiulingmarsh. But Jiulingmarsh has always had strict rules, and when he takes money There are no exceptions when it comes to doing things. If the prince has something that is inconvenient, I can help him, and I believe they can do it for him..."
Li Huan smiled and said, "You are quite clever."
After saying that, he pursed his lips and said, "You can't change the truth by denying it."
Xue Sui's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he frowned and asked: "Do you have any evidence, Your Majesty? I remember that in the "Twenty-eight Notes on Reforming Prison" newly written by Your Majesty, the most important article is to prove the conviction and never to doubt the guilt. . Making baseless accusations against a woman who has no ability to restrain a chicken is something that the prince does not advocate. If you are suspicious of me, the prince should provide ironclad evidence."
Otherwise, you are just beating yourself up.
Li Huan was surprised again.
She had never seen such a woman.
Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment may not take the reform of the twenty-eight chapters of the Penal Prison seriously, but Xue Liu understands it seriously.
He looked towards the garden.
The wind was getting stronger now, flowers were blooming in the garden, and the train of Xue Yuechen's skirt was swaying in the wind.
His princess was tall and graceful, but she couldn't help herself and kept looking here.
Li Huan looked away, "Just listen to what I said just now. There is no need to take it seriously."
Xue Sui said: "Don't worry, brother-in-law. I won't complain to my eldest sister. If the eldest sister asks me, I will only say that my brother-in-law asked about the second brother-in-law beating the second sister that day. I happened to be there, so he asked me to find out the truth."
Li Huan laughed.
"Brother-in-law" is such a sweet shout.
I made all the excuses for him, and also drew boundaries for each other.
Li Huan nodded, his handsome but stern face that had long since lost its youthful youthfulness actually showed a rare spontaneity, and his black eyes were clear.
"You go ahead. Regarding the matter of Jiulingmarsh, I really want to find you to help you."
Xue Sui bowed slightly and said, "I would like to serve you."
Li Huan didn't say anything else. According to his opinion, Xue Sui might know some disciples of the corpse guardian, but he was still far away from that powerful "imperial edict" and couldn't reach that person. Asking her now would only make her proud. It would be better to wait until she enters the house and then question her in detail.
Yes.
He also didn't realize that from the beginning when he strongly opposed Xue Liu's entry into the house to today, he had become somewhat interested in this girl who was abandoned and raised in Jiulingmarsh. Of course, it's not a relationship between a man and a woman.
Xue Yuechen saw Xue Sui coming, glanced at Li Huan, and asked about the conversation.
Xue Sui repeated what he had just said, and Xue Yuechen had no doubts.
"The second sister is really pitiful. Brother Ming is in poor health, and the second uncle Yao is not friendly to her. That's all. I heard people say that the second uncle Yao can't get out of bed now, isn't he a useless person, and he will be a useless person in the future. She has to take care of her. Bad luck only picks out people who have bad luck. It’s really impossible to predict the fate of the second sister..."
After that, she asked again casually.
"I heard that my second uncle lost his footing after being scratched by a cat. Why would the prince care about this matter?"
Xue Sui didn't even raise his head, and said in an understatement: "The second uncle Yao and the third uncle of You Taichang's family turned out to be close friends. They often ate, drank and had fun together. Things happened to them one after another. The prince must have thought of the two cases. Department, let’s find out the details..."
"Could it be that the prince is suspicious of the second sister?"
"That's not true. I'm just checking up on Second Uncle Yao's personality."
"Alas!" Xue Yuechen sighed, "Since His Majesty ordered the prince to supervise the affairs of Beijing, there has never been a peaceful day. Everything is complicated, and I am exhausted mentally and physically. Not to mention, I have made enemies everywhere in the court. It is really thankless..."
Xue Sui looked at her and smiled, "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on this person."
How many people want to suffer this, but they haven't had the chance yet.
The emperor has five princes, and apart from the prince, there is no one more noble than Prince Duan.
The two looked at each other, and Xue Yuechen's smile became particularly bright.
"You and I, sisters, work together and share the glory in the future."
Xue Sui smiled and said nothing.
Xue Yuechen was still saying something in his ears, which gradually became blurred in the wind.
After coming out of the garden and arriving at the living room, Li Huan said goodbye to them and was led to the men's seat by the waiter.
Along the way, he didn't look at Xue Sui again, nor did he say anything.
-
Returning home from three dynasties is a lively and happy event, but today is particularly different.
Everyone was here, but the atmosphere was still weird and awkward.
None of the female relatives were willing to say anything to Xue Yueying. Only Miss Ninth took her to the old lady and asked her about the situation in Jingyuan Hou's Mansion, just like a routine matter.
A few days have passed, and Xue Yueying's mood has not yet stabilized. Although she is wearing thick makeup, her face is still haggard and haggard.
In front of all the sisters, Xue Yueying was embarrassed to complain. She only said that her husband's family treated her well and her husband treated her well. She also distributed the gifts she had brought back to her elders, brothers and sisters one by one, and sent them to the back. lady.
Mrs. Cui said: "Your mother is not in good health and is lying in Qinglan Courtyard."
Xue Yueying was slightly embarrassed, "I should go and greet my mother in person."
Gu Jie was invited by Xue Lan to the study to discuss matters, so Xue Yueying led the girl to see Mrs. Fu.
In Qinglan Courtyard, Fu was lying on the bed sickly and ignored her.
Xue Yueying knelt down beside the couch, holding Fu's hand, and suddenly felt sad.
"Mother, you and I have been tricked by Xue Liu."
Mrs. Fu was lying on her back, raising her eyelids and saying nothing. Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward to help her up and sit on the head of the bed.
After Xue Yueying cried for a while, she sneered.
"Didn't you swear at the beginning that Princess Pingle and Gu Lang could rely on you, so you didn't need me as the mistress of your family? It's only been a few days, and you come back to show weakness. This is not like the girl I raised, who is so lethargic. People look down upon it.”
Xue Yueying shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "It's my daughter who doesn't know the importance and misunderstood her mother's kindness."
Mrs. Fu looked at her coldly and sneered again.
"That's all. Don't kneel down, get up and speak. Let people see me and say I'm a mean concubine."
After several blows, Fu's body is obviously weaker than before. In recent days, she has been taking decoction. But it didn't mean that she didn't have the strength to get out of bed. She just knew that Xue Yueying came back and deliberately didn't give her face. That's why she said she couldn't afford it and was too lazy to entertain him.
Xue Yueying had suffered enough at her husband's house, and on the day she returned home, her mother-in-law's family looked at her again. She felt miserable and had to force a smile to coax Mrs. Fu.
"Mother, my daughter really realized her mistake. She regrets that she should not be separated from her mother, which made people laugh..."
Mrs. Fu raised her eyebrows, scolding her in a weird way.
"You know how I treated you in the past. You are a good daughter. You sold me off again and again. This Qinglan Courtyard has become the master's forbidden area. Seeing that our husband and wife are separated, what's the point of you crying now? Use? I originally planned for you, and if you don’t say that you will be successful, you will not have a hard time in the future. Who is to blame for your repeated mistakes..."
Xue Yueying cried so hard that her shoulders twitched and she burst into tears.
"My daughter is young and ignorant, and she has failed her mother. Now I want to ask my mother to come forward and take care of her daughter. The mother-in-law of the Hou Mansion still doesn't drink tea from my daughter's daughter-in-law. I am Gu Langming's wife, and I am actually a concubine. It’s better to...”
Only then did Mrs. Fu realize that she wanted her to come forward to make peace.
She smiled, "You have better support, why do you need your mother's family to come forward? On the second day of March, Queen Xie holds a spring flower viewing banquet in the imperial garden. You go with Princess Pingle. How can your mother-in-law not give Pingle a favor?" Princess face?”
Xue Yueying hesitated.
She did not dare to say anything about Princess Pingle's falling out with her. She only said: "I heard that the Spring Flower Banquet was to select a concubine for the prince, and the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion also wanted to bring two girls who had not yet left the palace to the banquet. I A concubine’s legitimate wife, I’m afraid it’s not shameful...”
Mrs. Fu glanced at her and said nothing.
People with ideas will naturally go to such a grand event.
But even if there is a girl to be married in Xue Mansion, she will not marry into the East Palace.
Everyone knows that Xue Mansion and Prince Duan Mansion are connected by the same spirit and cannot be connected with the East Palace.
The two of them talked with each other for a while, and Xue Yueying finally pulled Mrs. Fu up from the "hospital bed". With the mistress supporting the scene, her homecoming party wouldn't be so ugly.
However, as soon as they returned to the main hall, they saw Xue Sui and Xue Yuechen walking in side by side, talking and laughing. Their relationship was as close as sisters, and their smiles froze.
The two looked at each other and their faces darkened.
Xue Sui seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.
As if she couldn't see the resentment in Xue Yueying's eyes, she asked with a warm smile:
"The fourth girl doesn't look very good. Is it because she has been pregnant hard, or is she just acclimated to the Marquis's residence? Look, it's only been a few days, and her chin is pointed and her eyes are sunken. It's so pitiful."
Xue Yuechen smiled, said nothing, and sat down to talk to Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu gave her a lukewarm look, her sick look still lingering on her face, "Now you think of your mother and me."
Xue Yuechen knew her displeasure, so he quickly offered tea to comfort her and said some words of filial piety.
"Sixth sister." Xue Yueying ignored her and approached Xue Sui with a dark face.
The two people looked at each other, looking at each other. Xue Yueying no longer forced a smile, wishing to throw all the grievances she had suffered these days on Xue Sui's face.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Since you returned home, you have been targeting me. These things are all your conspiracy, right?"
conspiracy?
That's too much, but she's not stupid.
Xue Sui slightly raised her lips and looked at her soft smile.
"The seed in your belly is not mine, how can I harm you? Huh?"
"You!" Xue Yueying saw Mrs. Fu looking over at her, then she suppressed her expression and managed to squeeze out a smile. Her eyes cut across Xue Sui's body like a knife, "Sixth sister, don't be complacent. The days ahead will be long for us. Let’s go and see…”
Xue Sui chuckled and said, "Just wait."
She turned around and left, acting arrogantly as if she was the master of the house. Xue Yueying suddenly felt angry, and when her brain became hot, she went to complain to Mrs. Fu.
"Mother, look at the sixth sister, she has no respect for me as a sister..."
In order to cope with her grievance, she squeezed out a stream of tears.
The third lady, Mrs. Qian, was feeding Miss Shi some cakes when she heard the sound and knocked the plate with a heavy sound.
"Sister-in-law, it's bad feng shui for a married girl to come to her parents' house to cry. Isn't it because she thinks the things in the house are not embarrassing enough? What a bad luck! My sister-in-law has a heart that is too bodhisattva to tolerate such a person. If it were me, it would be a long time ago So I drove him out with a broom..."
Mrs. Fu was so angry that her throat was lumpy, but she couldn't find her fault.
"Three younger brothers and sisters, today is the fourth sister's return."
"How about going back home? Can you destroy the feng shui of your mother's family by going back home? Your child is old, and mine is still young. He can't stand such filth..."
In the end, the third lady used the topic to make a fuss. The old lady was aggrieved and complained, saying that it would hinder Mr. Xue San's future and the growth of the children in the family, so the old lady had to look down on her face and lecture Xue Yueying.
"What an auspicious day, it makes you cry. You have to go back to your husband's house to cry."
Xue Yueying held back her tears and bit her lower lip. She was already bitter. She went out to wash her face, but she saw Gu Jie coming over from the other side in despair. When he saw her, he was like a mouse meeting a cat...
She felt suffocated and screamed secretly.
"Stop!"
Gu Jie covered his face and turned away from her.
Xue Yueying asked Gu Jie's chief follower Ma Er, "What's wrong with Master Wu?"
Ma Er lowered his head and looked at his toes, not daring to get involved in the men's affairs.
Xue Yueying thought that Gu Jie had done something to feel sorry for her, so she walked over and pulled away his hand covering his face in public, and found that there were red finger prints on his face.
She asked sternly with red eyes: "Who did it? Who hit you?"
Gu Jie said nothing.
Ma Er said in a low voice: "Miss Xue Liu."
Xue Liu.
It's actually Xue Liu?
Why did Xue Liu beat her husband?
Xue Yueying was going crazy.
"What a Xue Liu, she even dares to beat my uncle, it's so outrageous. I'll go find my father to comment..."
Xue Qingzhi used to dote on her and get everything in the house, but now even if she gets married, she won't support her if she doesn't believe her father.
Xue Liu beats his brother-in-law, no matter how hard it is, it can’t be justified...
However, when she was about to turn around, Gu Jie held her back.
"Ying'er, forget it. It's our fault..."
Xue Yueying became anxious upon hearing this, "What did we lose? What did we lose? What did we lose to her?"
Gu Jie said: "I broke my marriage and married another, so she should be resentful..."
"Why?" Xue Yueying's eyes turned red. "Without a marriage contract, just a few words, what kind of marriage contract do you have with her? Xue Liu just relied on Mrs. Chun's love to reach out to the Hou Mansion to trip me up. , I even dare to hit you, today I have to ask my father for an explanation..."
She was furious, and overwhelming resentment welled up in her heart.
However, Gu Jie was already embarrassed enough and didn't want to make the matter bigger again.
He couldn't hold her back or persuade her. Seeing that Xue Yueying was still fierce, he finally became furious.
"Enough!"
"I've said enough!"
Gu Jie looked at her with wide eyes.
"How long will you continue to be embarrassed?"
"You think I'm embarrassing?" Xue Yueying pointed at her face and looked at her former gentle and considerate husband in disbelief. He looked at her with such eyes, showing no affection, only irritability and impatience.
People who have been loved for a long time cannot bear such a change.
"Gu Lang, have you been seduced by Xue Liu and changed your mind..."
Gu Jie took a long breath and saw people coming out of the room to look around from time to time. He didn't want to stay for a moment longer, let alone being stared at and laughed at like a monkey in front of everyone.
"You can think whatever you like. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my house first. You've had enough trouble at your parents' house. If you want to come back, send someone to tell me and I'll send someone to pick you up."
Without waiting for the voice to fall, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Xue Yueying was almost unsteady on her feet. She held her lower abdomen with one hand and grabbed Qiaoer's arm with the other hand before she stood firm.
"Why did he treat me like this..."
"Why did everyone change when Xue Liu came back?"
"Everyone is targeting me, what did I do wrong?"
"Woo!"
She squatted by the door and suppressed her crying, tears streaming down her face.
A group of people came out of the house. They heard that the new uncle had insulted the fourth girl and left before eating. They all felt strange and did not dare to come forward to ask more questions. They just watched silently and whispered.
Xue Yueying felt even more isolated and helpless, as if everyone in the world was against her and laughing at her.
And all this changed when Xue Liu came back...
This disaster star.
She deserves to die.
People who deserved to die back then.
Why come back?
This chapter has more than 4,000 words, which is really thick and long...
Xue Yueying: Yes! It's all my joke, right? You guys enjoyed it a lot, right?
Reader: ...I misunderstood, maybe you also have fans? Like you?
