I noticed that someone was eavesdropping outside, and the entire Jiao family was so unruly, so I didn't have to think about it and knew that it was the incompetent eldest son.
Thinking that Jiao Lianping had fainted due to whip before, Prime Minister Jiao was worried and angry, "What are you doing outside? Don't you roll in!"
Jiao Lianping let Chen support him and walked in. He couldn't help but sneer at the angry face of the prefect Jiao in the upper seat, "Father regrets not beating me to death, so are you planning to make up a few whips?"
"You..." Prefect Jiao's eyes turned dark in anger. He was the enlightenment of his eldest son himself, but the ignorant child back then has now become so stingy.
Prefect Jiao had a blue face, but looking at the unruly Jiao Lianping and the whip of flesh turning on his face, disappointment and anger mixed together, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.
"Ping'er, sit down and talk!" Mrs. Jiao spoke with concern. In the past, if she saw the father and son fighting each other in such a battle, Mrs. Jiao would persuade her, and more scold her son.
But from today, the prefect Jiao almost beat Jiao Lianping to death. Mrs. Jiao suddenly thought about it. So what if Ping'er is not valued? At worst, she would take Ping'er and her family to leave Jiao Mansion, which would save Jiao Lianyu's repeated plans.
, let Ping'er change her temperament.
Chen hurriedly helped Jiao Lianping sit down on the chair, "Don't calm down, my husband was just worried, so he came to the front yard regardless of his injuries."
Compared with Mrs. Jiao's abandonment after being discouraged, Chen still wanted to restore the father-son relationship between Jiao Prefect and Jiao Lianping, how could the Jiao family's huge property be inherited by a humble concubine?
My husband is the legitimate son and the eldest son, and he also has fame and fortune. As long as his father supports him more, he will not worry about his future.
The Chen family, who came from the Chen family, is considered an official, but unfortunately the Chen family fell into decline in the early years, and now only one elder brother is the magistrate outside the position of magistrate.
...
"Madam, what's the origin of that little girl? The eldest son and Butler Niu are so polite." Chunchan, the maid who followed Chen, couldn't help asking, with anger and reluctance flashing quickly in her eyes.
It is logical that the dowry maid will very likely allow her son-in-law to be included in the room, especially when Chen was pregnant. It is better to bring his eldest maid into a free room than a woman he found from outside. After all, Chunchan's body is sold.
In the hands of Qike Chen, Chunchan's parents and brothers and sisters were also born to the Chen family.
Chen had this idea at the beginning, but unfortunately, Jiao Lianping, who was arrogant and arrogant, looked down on Chunchan, who was pretty. Once Chunchan was deliberately trying to flatter him, but Jiao Lianping kicked him out.
So at this moment, seeing Jiao Lianping's attitude towards Zhan Feiyu, even though he was just a childish girl, Chunchan could not suppress the jealousy in her heart.
Madam Ping, who was standing on the left of Chen, frowned when she heard this, looked at Chunchan who was deliberately provoking her, and stepped forward and pushed the person away. She lowered her voice and explained: "Madam, the eldest son brings this with him."
Miss Zhan went to the front yard, and this girl must be of great importance.”
Chen was stunned for a moment and then understood. Indeed, if it were just a daughter with an ordinary family background, it would be a great honor for her mother-in-law, the prefect, to be able to meet her in person. When she went to the front yard, she could only go to her father's side. This girl's identity was absolutely
prominent.
"Madam, let's go over and take a look." Chen didn't care about the little bit of jealousy at this moment, and hurriedly took a step and chased after him.
Looking at the servant standing in the yard and in the corridor, Jiao Lianping stopped the news of Butler Niu and led Zhan Feiyu to stand outside the window to listen.
"Reply to the wife, I didn't go to the second gate to spread the news. I have coughed a little in the past two days, so I asked Xiao Ding from the second gate to buy medicine." The maid who was asked knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed with a bang
, his face turned pale in fright.
The Jiao Mansion’s rules are strict. The servants in the front yard do not communicate that it is prohibited to go to the back yard. Similarly, the maids and mothers in the back yard are the same. Each courtyard is responsible for the affairs of each courtyard. You cannot inquire about other courtyards or inquire about the affairs of the front yard.
If the news spreads, it is definitely a taboo.
Mrs. Jiao was too lazy to listen to the quibbling of the servants. She looked at the confession in her hand, "At least, the two servants were cleaning the yard, but they didn't see you going to the second door."
Mrs. Jiao continued word by word with a stern face: "Two quarters of an hour later, they finished cleaning and saw you sneaking away from the people and going to the second door!"
The maid kneeling on the ground opened her mouth blankly, and the terror on her face could not be concealed. The hot weather in July could make people feel hot outside, and the hottest time of the day was even the hottest time of the day.
The Jiao family has strict rules, but Mrs. Jiao is not harsh in treating her servants. When it is so hot, the servants are basically resting in the house. Who would clean the yard with the sun?
The two servants who cleaned the yard also knelt down and replied. They had been asked once before, and they didn't need to recall the second time they spoke.
"I went back to the wife, the villain's wife was caught in heat, so the young man asked Manager Hu for leave and could go back early after finishing the cleaning work."
Manager Hu also walked up to him and replied, "Master, Madam, Tian Wang's wife is about to give birth, he is not at ease with his wife at home alone, and Zhou Dashan, who works with him, also wants to go back to Zhuangzi to visit.
Girl, so they cleaned the courtyard in advance today and could leave the house two hours in advance."
The maid who spoke at the beginning saw that the situation was hopeless, kowtowed again, "Madam, please spare me, I... I..."
"Lotus, let's talk about it after you have thought about it. There is only one chance! Don't forget that your family is born in Jiao Mansion's family, because you have implicated the whole family alone, especially your family has a sick nephew!" Madam Niu Mama Niu
He threatened with a tense face that the family had committed a crime, and even if he was beaten to death by the master's family, the government would not pursue the matter.
The lotus face was pale, his lips trembled a few times, and subconsciously looked towards Aunt Huang.
Madam Niu sneered coldly when she saw this and said bluntly: "In December last year, your little nephew suffered a cold and needed ginseng to kill his life. You asked the maid who was a good friend in the mansion to borrow money and was caught by Aunt Huang. Aunt Huang saw you
I feel sorry for someone to pick up ginseng pieces for you.”
Aunt Huang opened his mouth to defend himself, but was stopped by Jiao Lianyu beside him. Prefect Jiao and Mrs. Jiao were both sitting upright in the main seat, so how could Aunt Huang have a concubine speak?
"Madam, I know my mistakes are bad!" He Hua did not dare to implicate the whole family, so she could only confess. She did spread the news from the backyard from the second gate to the front yard, "I can't read, and the purse is not containing medicine in it.
The broken silver is a note.”
But what was written on the note? He Hua, a slave, dared not peek at even if he knew how to read.
Hearing this, Prefect Jiao frowned. Yu Guang glanced at Aunt Huang and Jiao Lianyu and his son, but looked at the second son with a calm expression, and then looked at the concubine who was still gentle and frightened. He had just given birth to a little.
The suspicion dispersed again.
As soon as the lotus confessed, it was much easier to investigate the clues. One of the stubborn people was loyal, but unfortunately he couldn't stand the stick and finally let go.
Mrs. Jiao took a sip of tea to moisten her voice, and looked at the old god Jiao Prefect who was still alive, "When this purse is retrieved, the truth will be revealed."
Outside the room, Jiao Lianping smiled, but unfortunately it touched the wound on his face, and his face was distorted in pain, but it could be seen that his eyes were full of joy.
Silently and silently retreated to the corridor and sat down. Jiao Lianping didn't care about family shame. "My mother has been thinking about family harmony for many years, and it is because I failed the exams and could only let a concubine's son be powerful.
Can't suppress it!"
But Mrs. Jiao is the mistress of the back house after all. Jiao Lianyu and Aunt Huang's every move is under her control. She did not attack before, because Jiao Prefect Jiao protected Jiao Lianyu, but this time Jiao Lianping was almost beaten by Jiao Prefect Jiao
No matter how well Mrs. Jiao is in a state of disfiguration, she can't stand it anymore.
Zhan Feiyu turned around and looked at the quiet flower hall behind him, "Even if he found out that Mr. Jiao sent the news to the government office and instigated the prefect Jiao to take action, this was just an ordinary method, and it was not even framed."
No one is perfect! Jiao Lianyu's move is at most contrary to the style of a gentleman, but the news he spread is also a fact. Compared with his talent for studying, it is impossible for the prefect Jiao Lianyu to severely punish him because of this flaw.
