"You're not allowed to go, come back here." If there's anything Ping Xiangxi doesn't understand at this moment, then she really has become a complete fool. Xia Tian, ??who was about to go out, shouted on the spot. Xia Tian looked at Wen Wan, waiting for Wen Wan's instructions, without even looking at Ping Xiang Xi, completely ignoring him.
"Dad, let him go. Let the minister of Dali Temple investigate clearly. The officials of Dali Temple are known to the world to be fair and impartial. I don't believe she can still say that a square thing is round." Shang Qi stood up and said.
Ping Xiangxi immediately stopped drinking and told Shang Qi to shut up. No matter how stupid he was, looking at An's appearance, he knew that it was indeed An's murder. Once this matter is exposed, he will murder the current princess and the royal family. To put it mildly, he will no longer have a foothold in the court, and his two sons will be sentenced to at least three thousand miles of exile. Seriously speaking, everyone must be dead. For the sake of himself and his two sons, he would never let this matter come out.
"Wen Wan, what do you want?" Since she said she cares about herself, at least she is still thinking about this flesh and blood relationship. As long as she doesn't pursue it, nothing will happen.
"Everyone who looks at you is a fool. The princess said that she didn't say it before, and she won't go out of her way to say it now. It's just that from now on, the princess has nothing to do with your fifth house. Come and treat you like a master. . However, you are not allowed to interfere with the affairs of the house or the affairs of her and Master Shangtang. I hope you will make a contract this time and don't want to say one thing and do another like before. We are entangled in one thing." Xia Yu looked at this princess's so-called biological father angrily. It was really rare in the world to have such a biological father.
"Okay." Ping Xiangxi agreed immediately and made a contract in front of the court. Wen Wan took the contract and turned back to the room. Xia Tian sent them all away.
"Mom, tell dad that you haven't done it. Tell dad that you haven't done it. Mom, tell me." Shang Qi held An's hand and begged bitterly. If it is true as we just knew, it is really like that. So what does he insist on? What my parents taught me is nothing. Myself, all the previous accusations were a joke. What a big joke.
"Sister. Why did you let them go so easily." It took Shang Tang a long time to come to his senses. How could this woman let them go so easily? Shang Tang was so angry there that he was really unwilling. How can such a vicious woman be let go so easily? She should be sued to Dali Temple. Let her pay with her life. But soon, he understood that this was a family scandal. If it is really exposed. His future is also in doubt. Shang Tang looked at Wen Wan and said nothing for a while.
Wen Wan shook her head, wondering if she would die if she didn't let him go. If she wants An's death, she will do it when she is canonized as your princess. If the culprit is caught, she will die. But she didn't do this. Instead, just act as if this matter never existed. Therefore, she let it go this time and let Shang Tang know that she let it go. For her father, for him, and for everyone in the Heing family, she endured this tone of voice and endured this grievance. However, sometimes, death is a kind of relief. But if you don't die. Living in suffering every day is the most painful thing. Whenever Wen Wan thinks of Nanny Huang's kind face, she can't help but feel a wave of hatred.
The thing about putting her on Zhuangzi before. She won't pursue it. She didn't suffer those things, and she didn't hate An. But. At first, Aunt Huang¡¯s requirements were not high. She just hopes that someone will teach her well, buy a dowry, marry a good family, and live a good life. She and Aunt Huang do not hinder An's in any way. Her mother left so much money, so you just gave her a few thousand taels of silver, bought a dowry, and married into an ordinary family. It's amazing. If you don't want to keep her by your side, and she looks like an eyesore, you can just throw her in another yard and raise her, and then get married when she's old enough. That's fine too. It¡¯s just two more mouthfuls of food.
But just for such a sum of money, for such a thousand and eighty taels of silver. She could do this to two defenseless old people and children. Let that kind nanny die on the road like this. She had always had a chance in the past two years, and she knew that if she opened her mouth, An would never survive the sunrise the next day. However, she has endured it for the past three years. Even if she sows dissension in front of Ping Xiangxi, even if she faces people who convulse when Ping Xiangxi doesn't make things difficult, she endures it one by one. It wasn't that her power wasn't enough for her to take revenge, but that she didn't want her to die so happily. She wanted her to live and make her pay a sufficient price for what she had done. She wanted her to live a good life and let her experience her husband's heartlessness, her son's separation, and everyone's contempt. Let her live a painful life like a knife digging into her heart bit by bit. Only in this way can the boundless hatred in her heart be relieved.
"Mom, mom." When she returned home, hugging her wet nurse, Anshi cried bitterly. After a long time, he said what happened just now and hated the killers he hired in the first place.
"Miss, I'm confused. That village head only has two?A son and a daughter. Where did the little son come from? Moreover, the Zhuangtou family was also killed on the road, and there was no way they could have left their youngest son without taking them away. This is all nonsense. Miss, you have been deceived and forgotten that the Duke of Guo has handled everything neatly. Oh my God, miss, you fell into the trap set by the princess. "After saying that, her wet nurse looked horrified.
Anshi naturally knew, but this was what made her even more sad. The situation at that time, Ping Xiangxi simply did not allow her to say anything more. Because Zhuangtou, because that old woman, was indeed the killer she ordered. If he really went to Dali Temple, even if the Duke of Guo said that he had already cleaned up his tail. No evidence could be found, but her reputation would be completely ruined. Then his children should never think about getting married in the future, and the master's official career will be completely over. The gentleness she is now is no better than the helpless orphan girl she was before. Just these few years. She got into so many troubles and did so many amazing things, but she could still sit back and relax. Even the Duke of Guo was polite to her. Why, it's not because she has fallen into the emperor's eyes and the emperor is protecting her. If she really goes to Dali Temple to sue, she will definitely die. She also has to implicate the master and her three children.
She really doesn¡¯t know what tricks this vicious girl has to deal with her. She doesn't think so naively. Be gentle and kind-hearted and let her go. Gentleness is not a blessing, neither is one so easy to coax nor such a soft-hearted person. This girl's heart is more poisonous than a poisonous snake. She knew this very well, better than anyone else. However, she couldn't deal with this girl. The status of the two people is already very different. She couldn't deal with her anymore. Moreover, she still has the leverage in her hands and has lost her husband's heart.
Facing Shang Qi who came to apologize to Wen Wan. Wen Wan was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Mrs. An would give birth to such a kind-hearted son. It was like a phoenix emerged from the crow's nest.
Xia Tian walked out and said to him, "The Princess said that since she said she would not pursue the case, she would not pursue it again. And this matter is none of your business, so you don't need to feel guilty. Go back! Princess, isn't it?" I'll see you. Just stand here and let others see it. Go back. Don't worry, the princess said she won't reveal this."
"I. I don't know. No, it's not about my mother. I, I'm not qualified. I just came to apologize to her for my previous rudeness." Shang Qi lowered his head, very ashamed. Although he had heard those rumors before. But he didn't believe it at all. But now that the facts were before his eyes, he couldn't help but not believe it.
"It's okay if you have the Ninth Young Master's heart. But the princess won't see you. You can go back." Xia Tian didn't put on airs. There is finally one person in the fifth room who has some conscience.
Shang Qi knew that Wen Wan really didn¡¯t want to see him. I went back frustrated. Now it seems that I was very wrong. Wenwan is not arrogant and domineering just because she has something to rely on. Rather. The only target of her arrogance and domineering behavior is his mother. It seems that she is quite kind to him. Not even a scolding. He felt extremely guilty and sad.
An soon discovered that her eldest son was getting farther and farther away from her. He became increasingly indifferent to her. This is due to Ping Xiangxi¡¯s successful teaching.
"Loyalty, trust, filial piety, righteousness, propriety, etiquette, integrity, and shame, these eight words have taken root in this child's heart. Anshi panicked now. Work on fixing their relationship. But Shang Qi has already complained about her mother. With this kind of thought, it will be extremely difficult to repair the relationship.
And Ping Xiangxi was able to tolerate An in the past year because of all the things that happened to his three children. Now that something like this happened, if he didn't let it go gently, he would never be able to stay in the officialdom in this life. And he had always thought of her as a kind, gentle woman. But now that the facts were before his eyes, his hatred for this vicious woman reached its peak. Not to mention that he hasn't entered her room for more than half a year, the couple are already unfamiliar with each other. Now I don¡¯t even want to go back to that broken home. In order to avoid arousing others' suspicion, he hid at his brother's house. Lived in the previous five-bedroom courtyard.
The husband¡¯s unfeelingness and the eldest son¡¯s alienation. Anshi became more and more panicked.
Not even half a month after this happened, Wen Wan heard a piece of news.
"Princess, the master is going to marry the second wife." The second wife is also the noble concubine. Of course, a concubine is still a concubine, so what if you know. Wen Wan didn't have time to talk to him at all. As long as you don't mess with her, she will be happy and happy.
How did you know that his cheap dad felt that his second spring had arrived. Send invitations widely to invite colleagues to drink his wedding wine. Everyone just looked at each other and smiled after receiving the wedding invitations, and went happily. In ancient times, marrying a concubine was also an elegant matter, and the wedding reception was also lively.
After what happened that day, Wen Wan knew that the two people must be at odds. Men are all veryPersonal things, no matter what he has done. But he requires his women to be pure and kind, as white as a sheet of paper. No man likes a vicious woman. From now on, the two of them will inevitably become strangers. In this age of three wives and four concubines, he is separated from his wife. Naturally, I have to find another kind and pure woman to fill the void. Therefore, Wen Wan had already expected that Ping Xiangxi would find another woman. For the sake of his two sons, her cheap father would definitely not divorce An. Haha, it would be very satisfying to see her husband, who used to be so tender and affectionate towards her, being indifferent and disgusted with her, and doting on another woman. Haha, it would be very satisfying.
But Wen Wan knew that this woman was a good girl and a distant relative of an official. She was a little strange. Let people inquire and find out who this woman is. When they found out that she was the distant cousin of a sixth-rank official's wife, they met her at that official's mansion, and they fell in love so deeply that they decided not to marry Xiang Xi unless she was Ping. After hearing this, Wen Wan felt something was wrong. Ping Xiangxi is a person who rushes to the fourth place. Although he looks good, it is impossible for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl to fall deeply in love with him. Needless to say here. Wen Wan smelled something unusual.
Xia Ying quickly found out the news and told the story.
Ten days ago, one of Ping Xiangxi¡¯s subordinates invited him to visit. At that time, he was not in a good mood and did not want to go home. So he followed his subordinates to his house for a drink. But he accidentally bumped into a girl at his subordinate's house, and his subordinate happened to see him. He hurriedly explained, but he didn't want to be judged by others. The subordinates smiled and said that she was my wife's distant cousin. Her family suffered a disaster and she came to seek refuge with them. Not much of a bother.
The woman has a beautiful face, dignified and beautiful. Meeting a strange man. The woman was very shy, but she bowed her head and greeted Ping Xiangxi gracefully. The subordinate looked at him like this and was about to speak when someone called him immediately. He said embarrassedly and asked Ping Xiangxi to accompany him there. When Ping Xiangxi walked with him, he looked back. The woman was looking at him with a springy face. When she saw him turning around, her face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head. Ping Xiangxi's heart was pounding.
This matter has always been on his mind. But that's all, the age difference between the two is too big. And he has a wife and two sons. The eldest son is also four or five years younger than the girl. Although I have some ideas, I think of reality. Still pressed. However, a surprise came to my door. She was really overjoyed.
"Sir Ping, my distant cousin has been thinking about nothing since I met you. My wife found out about it and asked about it. My wife felt sorry for her cousin, so I wanted to ask you if you have any intention in that regard. If you are interested, please come up with a charter." The subordinate said flatteringly.
"But I already have a wife." Ping Xiangxi felt bubbles popping up in his heart. He liked it but was embarrassed at the same time. But even for the sake of his two sons. Nor can one divorce his wife.
"Well, it's pitiful. I'll ask her again to see if she's willing to be the second wife. This way, it's better than dying!" The subordinate thought for a while before saying.
Ping Xiangxi was ecstatic when he said that. Let him go back and ask immediately. After the subordinate came back, he said, "My cousin doesn't want to be a concubine, but I'm thinking of you and I really don't know what to do. Please give her some more time." Let her think it over carefully.
But after waiting and waiting for three days, the result was that the girl wanted to go home. But before leaving, I wanted to see myself. When I saw her again, I saw that the dignified and beautiful woman had not been seen for a few days. She looked haggard and looked very sad, and felt very sour in my heart. The woman said goodbye and left in style. But Ping Xiangxi couldn't bear it and grabbed the woman. The woman pushed him away and cried, saying that she had already had thoughts that she shouldn't have, and how could she do such an outrageous thing. As he talked, he fainted.
"Don't worry, I will treat you well when I marry you. I will treat you well." Touching the sad face of the haggard woman, Ping Xiangxi suddenly felt that he was ten years younger.
In this regard, the Duke of Guo didn¡¯t think anything of it. The second brother only has one wife, two maids, and not even an aunt. Although Ping Xiangxi has a soft ear, he has not done anything significant in recent years. The only thing is that he is a little too partial to Wen Wan and has done some outrageous things. But he is not confused when it comes to real important matters, and he has always respected his elder brother and listened to his words. When I heard the eldest lady say that this woman was dignified and generous, with polite manners, she looked like she came from a serious family. I won't even care about it, just marry a second wife.
When Wen Wan heard that the woman looked pretty, she became even more suspicious. Jean called Xia Xia in, "Xia Xia, the princess asked you to send a capable person to go to that woman's hometown to check. The princess thinks there is something fishy about this. How can a woman from a good official family rush to do something like this?" concubine?"
It¡¯s not that Wen Wan has much to do with Ping Xiangxi, she just thinks this is weird. If something happened and she was implicated, she would have nowhere to complain. It's better to have a plan?This way, she doesn't have to worry.
A month later, I got the information in hand. It turned out that this woman was engaged, or should be said to be married. It's just that the family was ruined because they offended someone who was related to the local magistrate's family. I am so depressed that my livelihood is now in question. This time I say I was in trouble, but in fact I escaped. She wanted to break off the engagement, but her father didn't want to and married her anyway. She didn't want to suffer hardships along with her, so on the day of her wedding, she took advantage of everyone's negligence and ran away to join this relative who was eight feet away. That official is also a man who loves to play tricks and is not a pragmatic person. So seeing how good-looking this woman was, I became interested. Wen Wan saw that she turned out to be a woman who disliked poverty and loved wealth. She just happened to be met by Ping Xiangxi, and there was no conspiracy. Even if this matter is exposed, she will not be implicated. He shook his head, smiled, and ignored it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????rrhise out out of control However, for officials, especially the masters of wealthy families, it is just an elegant matter.
Only the second master was injured physically and mentally. In the past, such romantic matters should have been done by myself. When will it be the turn of Old Five, that idiot? After drinking for a long time, I went to the building to find a girl, but there was no money. He can only find his only woman now, Aunt Shui. Now even Shang Diao's aunt doesn't want to see him anymore and is too lazy to deal with him. Anyway, the aunt now has a house and land in her hands. She can teach her son well and have someone to rely on in the future. She doesn't expect him to live a good life. All his former confidants were betrayed by his father. Therefore, I am alone every day. Extremely pitiful.
Wen Wan is not interested in her cheap daddy's love affair, and wants her to spend money to make a big deal, not to mention that there is no door or window paper. Just a concubine, not worthy of being treated so highly by myself. Fortunately, Ping Xiangxi was not so confused that this happened again.
Although Anshi felt pain in her heart, she also knew that she couldn't stop it. Her husband's heart is no longer with her, and he can't stop her even if he wants to. The eldest son reacted calmly, and although the second son was angry, he didn't say much. Only Qingshan had a fight with Ping Xiangxi, and Ping Xiangxi had someone take her into custody. As for An, now she has no choice but to watch her husband marry someone new. But the panic in my heart is beyond words. Because of her status, the previous Bai Ling was nothing more than a concubine no matter how much she was promoted. Moreover, this Bailing should be a hen that cannot lay eggs. She has never been pregnant after serving the master for so many years. For more than half a year, Bai Ling has been sick and is probably going to die. But this woman was different. Not only was she born innocent, but she was also intelligent and beautiful. Most importantly, she was born at such a sensitive time. Otherwise, Wen Wan would be very indifferent to this, and she would suspect that Wen Wan was behind all of this.
With blood streaming from her heart and holding back tears, she accepted Aunt Fan¡¯s gift generously. Then he went back to his room and smashed things on the floor. But, what's the use! Her husband's heart is no longer with him. Since that incident, he has never entered his room again. And what happened last time, even the look in her eyes was as cold as ice. After the fifth master married his aunt, he stayed in Aunt Fan's room all night and never refused to set foot in his own house. An knew that his fate with Ping Xiangxi was over.
"Princess, Master Shangqi came over to see Master Shangtang. I looked at him as if he was very upset. Princess, do you think?" Xia Tian asked carefully.
Wen Wan knew that Xia Tian had always done things in a measured way, so she made a few strokes. After Xia Tian got the news, he went out and said to Shang Qi, "The princess said that now the seventh young master is studying hard every day. If there is something bad, it is better not to let him know. It will affect his mood. He will try it in a few months. For Qi, The young master is not good. Please forgive me, third young master.¡±
When Shang Tu came here in despair, he just wanted to find someone to talk to. Now that my mind is a little clearer, I also know that it is inappropriate. Sorry and went out.
When Wen Wan heard the reply, she was very surprised and asked someone to inquire about it. The news of my return left me speechless. The second master actually forced Xiao Xu's dowry girl to sleep with her. Fortunately, Shangqiu confiscated the house, otherwise, the shame would have gone to nowhere.
Little Xu was so angry that she fainted, as if she heard that she had fetal force. The doctor came over in a hurry and took the medicine to save the child. Now Shang Qi was no longer afraid of being disobedient and unfilial, so he moved out. Completely escaped from the clutches of the second master. I no longer want to talk nonsense with such an irrelevant father. Shang You probably had the intention of strangling him to death. In ancient times, sleeping with a daughter-in-law's personal maid was tantamount to damaging her reputation.
The Duke was so angry that he beat him up and sent two strong men to guard the door of their house, not allowing him to leave the house. Otherwise, break his legs and let him never go out again for the rest of his life. The second master cursed, but it was no use.
Those two strong servants were ordered to die. If the second master left the house, their whole family would be sold to the Duke's mansion. Naturally, it was impossible to let the second master go out. The second master drinks alcohol at home every day. (To be continued)
