Mrs. Ji was so surprised that she couldn't speak. The pregnant woman with dystocia didn't have dystocia. Instead, she became a man. Her husband was not a husband, but a handsome young man. The old woman was even more ridiculous. She was a beautiful lady. The old man was still the old man, but he also changed his face, especially the young man.
If you still can't see that you have been cheated, you can't say it.
"Ji Wan! What the hell is going on? "
Old lady Ji was angry.
Ji Wan was so careful that her liver trembled. Although she was not afraid of everything, she felt guilty this time. After clearing her throat, she didn't dare to look into Mrs. Ji's eyes: "it's just There's something wrong
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Ji's tone was even more heavy.
Where can Ji Wan make it clear? She just cooperated with Qiaowei to trick her grandmother. As for what happened after the trick, it was not her plan!
"Grandma, let me do it," said Qiao Wei
Mrs. Ji was a little angry, but her eyes were still a little condensed: "I always think you are a sensible child, but I didn't expect you to play around with your elder sister."
Qiao Wei stepped forward, held Mrs. Ji's arm, and said in a soft voice, "grandmother, this time it's not the elder sister's mischief, it's my idea. I hope my mother won't blame the elder sister."
"I'll make tea." Qiao Zheng stood up and went to the teahouse.
Sixth master patted his thigh: "I'll go too."
There are only Qiao Wei's master servant, Ji Wan, Mrs. Ji's master servant and several witnesses left in the room With a little monkey sitting upright and tasting tea in a straight line.
Mrs. Ji took a look at the little monkey. For some reason, she always felt that the little monkey was a little familiar, like her family.
Ji Wan's hand caresses her stomach. Since she became pregnant, she likes to touch her stomach.
When Pearl saw her touch her stomach, she felt her own.
Ji Wan's eyes glare. Little smelly monkey, learn from her again!
Ji Wan took Pearl's hand off her stomach.
Pearl also took away Ji Wan's hand on her stomach.
Jiwan stares at Pearl, and Pearl stares at Jiwan, big eyes at small eyes.
Ji Wan: little smelly monkey!
Pearl: big stink!
Qiao Wei greets old lady Ji to the throne and asks bi'er and Rong's mother to help Ji wan to have a rest.
Ji Wan does not go, Qiao Wei says: "you are pregnant with the body, don't too toss."
Old lady Ji stares at Ji Wan's stomach. When she learns that all this is just a hoax, she thinks that Ji Wan's stomach is also fake. Don't mention how disappointed she is. She looked at Qiaowei and asked nervously, "really?"
Qiao Wei nodded: "yes, grandmother. It's been more than a month. Because the month is still shallow, it hasn't been publicized."
Mrs. Ji was relieved and said to Ji Wan, "for the sake of children, I'll go around you first. When you give birth, I'll see how I can settle the bill with you."
Ji Wan is not afraid. She goes to the wing room in the backyard with bi'er.
The room quieted down.
Mrs. Ji's eyes fell on a few witnesses who were obviously from a poor family background. She didn't understand how Qiao Wei would associate with these people.
Qiao Wei poured a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Ji: "grandma, I'm sorry to cheat you in this way, but if I don't, I'm afraid I can't bring people into Ji's house at all."
"These people?" Old lady Ji's brow frowned, "you want to bring them into Ji's house to do things?"
Qiao Wei shook her head: "no, grandma. They are very important witnesses. They have very important words to say to grandma."
Old lady Ji gave everyone a suspicious look.
They were a little uneasy and drank their tea one after another.
Qiao Wei looked at Kang Min: "does grandma know who this young master Kang is?"
"Who?" Mrs. Ji asked
Qiao Wei said: "Mr. Kang is a good friend of Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun, you should remember that Gusu's family had an engagement with the Xun family, but it ended without joy. "
Mrs. Ji thought: "Xun's fiance's family, sun's family?"
Qiao Wei nodded: "exactly."
"What do you say he has something to say to me?" Mrs. Ji couldn't think of what a friend of the sun family, who had broken away from Xun LAN, could say to herself.
Some things are very thick, such as the south wall, but there are a lot of people hitting the south wall; while some things are very thin, such as window paper, few people are willing to pierce it.
Qiao Wei is probably one of the few people who is not afraid of breaking the window paper. She said to Kang min, "Mr. Kang, why don't you tell my grandmother what happened to Sun Xun and Xun Shi in those years?"
Old lady Ji faintly perceived something, and her eyes showed a strong surprise.
Kang min stepped forward, gave a salute to Mrs. Ji, and said: "Mr. Sun and Mr. Xun fell in love. It was a good marriage. But someone got in the way and killed Mr. Sun and some of my brothers. I don't ask the old lady to make decisions for us, but I don't want the old lady to continue to be hoodwinked by villains. "Mrs. Ji has never heard of Xun's falling in love with sun Gongzi, and she doesn't know that this marriage has been destroyed. Mrs. Ji looks at Kang min suspiciously. Kang min takes out a letter from her arms: "this letter was written to Xun by Sun Xun one month before he died. Please give it to Xun. I forget it. When I think about it, it's a foregone conclusion."
Qiaowei took the letter, opened it and handed it to Mrs. Ji.
Although Mr. Sun is a son of a noble family, he didn't like calligraphy since he was a child. He liked to play with swords and guns. His writing level was not satisfactory. But he understood that there was only one month left for his divorce. He wanted to stay at home obediently. He couldn't visit the boudoir at night as before. I hope xunlan didn't mind.
The old lady's face sank after reading it.
If this letter is true, then before the big marriage, did sun Gongzi really visit the boudoir at night? Xun Shi didn't stop it? How could they have done such an indecent thing?!
Old lady Ji lowered her anger: "what do you mean when you say someone is interfering with it?"
Kang Min said: "in those years, smallpox came in a strange way. Sun Gongzi and several people who knew his relationship with Xun family were infected with smallpox one after another. I also had a rash, but it was not smallpox. The other party probably thought I had contracted smallpox, so they didn't do it deliberately. Therefore, I escaped."
"What evidence do you have?" Asked Mrs. Ji.
Kang min sighed: "old lady, what reason can I cheat you? My brothers are dead, and I'm just living. Even if you believe me, you can't compensate my brothers. If you don't believe it, just think about it. How did Xun speak of sun Gongzi in those years? "
Mrs. Ji was silent.
Although Qiao Wei didn't know how the stepmother reported to Mrs. Ji, she didn't tell her what she knew about sun Gongzi, did she? Otherwise, with the old lady's pedantic strength, she might be allowed to keep the festival for three years.
"Who is she?" Mrs. Ji looks at Yuejin.
Yuejin got up and gave Mrs. Ji a salute, and said, "Yuejin, the lady of the people, please greet her."
Mrs. Ji frowned: "do you know Mr. Sun, too?"
Yue Jin replied respectfully, "I don't know sun Gongzi. I was a girl in Li Chunyuan in my early years and worked with peony."
The girl in the brothel? Mrs. Ji's brow is more tight.
Qiao Wei explained: "peony is the number one who eloped with Mr. Yuan."
Old lady Ji is a Leng: "she?"
Qiao Wei nodded, looked at Yuejin and motioned to Yuejin to go on.
Yuejin had seen the world in the capital after all. She was taught to be knowledgeable and polite. She nodded her head slightly and said, "I came to Lichun courtyard before peony. At that time, I was the number one of Lichun courtyard. Since peony came, I came second. For this reason, I was very dissatisfied with peony and paid special attention to it. In fact, peony and Mr. Yuan had known each other for a long time. Mr. Yuan appreciated the talent and appearance of peony, wanted to redeem himself for peony, and kept peony outside to be a charming concubine. Peony doesn't want to. We brothel women are not all in the flesh and blood business. Peony sells her art but not her body. If she wants to marry her rich son, there are not 100 but 80. Among those people, Mr. Yuan is only above average. It's reasonable for peony to look down on Mr. Yuan.
But suddenly one day, peony took Mr. Yuan back to his boudoir. The boudoir was not a place to treat guests, but the girls' own room. We were very surprised at what peony did, but we just thought that peony was going to travel with Mr. Yuan by candlelight. Just like those former guests, mother sent for peony the next day Now there is red on the bed of peony. Peony gives himself to Mr. Yuan.
A few days later, we heard that Mr. Yuan was married to a wealthy family. We all asked if peony was jealous. Peony said with a smile, "yes."
Mrs. Ji's face became very ugly: "that rich family's daughter Is that Xun
Yue Jin shook his head: "I don't know. I only know that it wasn't long before Mr. Yuan eloped with peony. He said that he didn't want to marry the daughter, but the family was too fierce. His family couldn't afford to offend him. One day in the capital, he would marry her. It's better to go away."
That rich family is the Ji family.
Although already knew this matter, may listen to month brocade to mention in detail, Ji old lady is still very angry.
Yue Jin then said: "to be honest, peony is not a good match for Mr. Yuan. She will give herself to Mr. Yuan for a little jealousy. We all have some disbelief. A sister said that peony is just playing with Mr. Yuan. If she is tired of playing, she should kick him. But two months later, peony and Mr. Yuan are still very close. We thought that peony really moved his heart to Mr. Yuan. One day, I passed by Peony's room and heard the conversation between peony and the servant girl. The servant girl said that if you drink too much soup, you will hurt your body. Since you are so happy with Mr. Yuan, you might as well give him a child. If you have a child, you don't have to come again The brothel laughs, but the peony says sarcastically, "let me have a baby for that idiot, next life!"
Qiao Wei paused and said, "so peony doesn't like Mr. Yuan."Yue Jin nodded: "yes, I was very shocked at that time. Mr. Yuan was not a man that peony could not provoke. Why did peony commit himself to him? I can't figure it out. A few days later, a guest came to peony's room. Peony quarreled with the guest. After the guest left, peony burst into tears. I suddenly felt that the man who was happy with peony should be the one who was right. But who expected that the next day, peony eloped with Mr. Yuan. "
"Who proposed the elopement?" Qiao Wei asked.
Yue Jin said, "peony."
It's really strange that you don't like Mr. Yuan, but you seduce him in every way. If you really have a sweetheart, you don't have to put your innocence into it.
It's like a premeditation against Mr. Yuan.
But why aim at Mr. Yuan? Who did Mr. Yuan recruit and who did he offend?
If it's to destroy Mr. Yuan's future, but he doesn't serve as an official. What's the matter if he can't go to the brothel? When it got around, it was just laughing at his absurdity. There was more trouble in the marriage.
Isn't that bad?
When the Ji family learned the news, the first thing they did was to give up the yuan family.
Qiao Wei knows in her heart, but she doesn't have to show it. As long as the old lady is not a fool, she should think more than her.
Mrs. Ji's face was too black to see, and Pearl sat beside her, feeling that she had robbed the limelight of her own black beauty.
Mrs. Ji took a deep breath and looked at her grandparents on the other side: "you must be from the Zhou family."
She is really not a fool. From Kang min, she guessed that everything was aimed at Xun LAN. She already had acquaintances of Mr. Sun and Mr. Yuan. I think Mr. Zhou would come to join in the fun.
Dumb servant is no longer working in the Zhou family, but the scene six years ago is still unforgettable.
As he gesticulated, his grandson said, "my grandfather said that the Zhou family is haunted, and Mr. Zhou was scared to death by a fierce ghost."
The ancients were superstitious. Mrs. Ji was also in awe of ghosts and gods. Mrs. Ji straightened her face: "are you always haunted? What the hell
The mute servant made a gesture, and his grandson explained: "on the night of the wedding of Duke Zhou, he was a ghost. He was tall and big, and eight feet long."
Eight feet is a bit exaggerated, Yao Ming is not so tall, but it doesn't rule out stepping on stilts, Qiao Wei thought.
Mrs. Ji asked, "why didn't your grandfather say that at that time?"
The young man snorted: "my grandfather is also scared. He has been ill for several days. When he came back to Zhou's house, he found that all the servants were dragged out to be buried with him. How dare my grandfather say that? Do things with your tail between your legs. Don't be remembered. "
If the ghost appeared in the wedding room, Xun should have seen it. Why wasn't she scared? It's fair to say that she is brave, but it's not fair to say that she conceals the news of her marriage.
She would rather let the Zhou family mistakenly think that master Zhou was killed by her than tell the truth. Why?
Because she told the truth, the Zhou family would not do anything to her, and she was still alive from then on.
Will the Ji family take a little widow of the Zhou family back to the house?
But if the Zhou family wants to put her to death, the Ji family will not sit back and ignore her. No one can rest assured that she will continue to stay in the Zhou family, so it is inevitable to take her back to the Ji family.
Old lady Ji pressed down her dizzy head. The impact was too big for her to digest.
"How did you find these people?" she asked
Qiao Wei understood that old lady Ji would be suspicious and didn't intend to hide it. She said: "the man who just played pregnant woman is a friend in the Jianghu. Mingxiu also knows him. I asked him to find these people."
Hearing that her grandson knew each other, Mrs. Ji nodded slowly. She didn't ask Qiao Wei when she began to doubt xunlan, but said, "please let me be quiet."
Rong's mother came and helped Mrs. Ji back to the wing room.
There was a strange silence in the room.
With a yawn, pearl jumped down, one hand on her waist, and the other hand on her nine month old pregnant belly and Eight Legged feet, wriggling into the room.
People looked at the performance of pregnant monkey, eyes almost stare off, not that the monkey is too small, they are afraid to think that she is really pregnant!
Lingzhi hall is big enough. Qiao Wei arranges a room for Kang min and others. During this period, the spring of Tongyuan comes to ask Ji Wan about her condition.
Ji Wan has been sleeping in the wing room.
Qiao Wei said: "colic, take medicine, sleep, but need to observe one night, make sure there is no recurrence to go back, tonight we all rest here, you go back to the master, let him not worry."
"Yes." Spring has gone.
Six Ye color Mi Mi ground looking at to turn round to leave of spring, will come forward to spring of pounce, let Qiao Wei stop.
Six Ye bitterly hit smack mouth, can't forcibly rob people's daughter of the day, is how boring and helpless.Qiao Wei takes a look at Liu Ye. Liu Ye is still wearing the clothes of a folk woman, but he has taken off his false stomach. However, his own stomach is not small. Qiao Wei laughs jokingly: "it's six or seven months, isn't it?"
Six Ye white Qiao Wei one eye, have no conscience, he is for who just dress like this?
"Your father's clothes are too small for me to wear!"
After the tent was exchanged with the dead man, his luggage was all in the carriage and was taken away by the fake sixth master.
Qiaowei laughed and stopped teasing him. "When did you find yourself being followed?" she asked
The sixth Master said: "I found it when I left the capital. It's no surprise. If I want to search the news, there will be a lot of noise. I've been watched so hard that I didn't get rid of it several times. Then I came up with such a way to get rid of it."
It's easy to say, but only those who have really experienced it can understand how dangerous the situation was at that time. Any one of them who is too slow may be wiped out.
All of us are very competitive. We have successfully cheated that group of people and arrived in the capital.
"Can your old lady believe it?" The sixth master asked uneasily.
Qiao Wei said, "I did what I could do. Believe it or not, it's her business."
The sixth master took a sip of tea.
Qiao Wei says again: "did that gang of robbers have news?"
Sixth master shook his head: "not yet."
Qiao Wei thought: "if there are people in front of the calculation, then the robber must also be in the plan, if the old lady believes Kang min they, it is not difficult to guess that the robber is also a hidden trick."
The sixth master frowned: "the old lady has trusted her for so many years. It's hard to doubt her all at once, isn't it?"
Qiao Wei light smile: "trust and doubt is only separated by a wall, push this wall, doubt will be overwhelming."
What's more, this wall may not be solid. Everyone trusts the little stepmother. Most of them are impeccable. The other half is probably caused by the so-called herd mentality. Everyone says that if one jumps out to question, he will suffer from the double torture of the heart and the outside world, which will inevitably bring huge pressure. But now, she and Ji WAN are in a dilemma She has taken the lead in jumping out and carrying the pressure on herself, so that the old lady can easily obey her heart and handle it more fairly.
Mrs. Ji lay in the room all night. She hardly closed her eyes that night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was the little girl. She was wearing old clothes that were not warm. She shrank in the cold wind and opened a pair of timid eyes. She looked at her innocently and fearfully.
It was such a pair of clean eyes without any impurities that made her feel sad for so many years, but in the end
Mrs. Ji closed her eyes and sighed heavily.
……
Ji Wan stayed in Lingzhi hall all night, but it didn't matter. At dawn, Lin took her back to the government, and Qiao Wei accompanied her back to Ji's home.
Xun LAN came to greet old lady Ji.
Mrs. Ji didn't see her, but said, "call Shang Qing. I have something to say to him."
Ji Shangqing recovered most of his injury and was able to walk on the ground. After hearing the old lady's call, he came to luomei hospital immediately.
This year's winter came late, but it also came fiercely. The cold wind made the windows whine. When the curtain was opened, a cold wind poured in, and the whole room seemed to cool down.
Mrs. Ji was sitting on the Kang, haggard.
Ji Shangqing hurried forward and asked anxiously, "mother, what's the matter with you? Did you take care of Wan Wan last night? "
"Not wanwan." Old lady Ji held back her servants and patted the seat beside her. "You sit down. I have something to say to you."
Ji Shangqing faintly felt that there was something wrong with Mrs. Ji's mood, but his mother didn't say it, and he was not easy to ask, so he sat down.
Ji Laofu said: "in fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that we haven't talked for a long time."
"Mother." Ji Shangqing feels guilty.
Mrs. Ji pushed the dim sum on the table in front of him: "you loved chestnuts when you were a child. Please follow me. This is a new chestnut cake. Try it."
Ji Shangqing tasted it, but somehow he didn't know what to eat.
Mrs. Ji took a deep look at her son. What she said next made her feel so hard to say. She stopped and hesitated for a while before she settled down and said, "Xun's family has been through so long. I want to ask, what do you think of her?"
Ji Shangqing pondered for a moment and said, "Xun is virtuous and capable. What does his mother ask him to do?"
Ji Laofu said: "I didn't agree with you when you wanted to marry Xun. But when something happened to her, you blame yourself. I can't bear you to lose weight all day, so I agreed to marry you. Now let me ask you, would you still be willing to marry her if it hadn't happened at the beginning? "
Ji Shangqing was puzzled and said, "mother, what's the matter with you? Your son doesn't understand what you say. "
Mrs. Ji laughed at herself: "I may have lost my sight sometimes, but Shang Qing, you are my baby. What do you think? Can I understand? Let me ask you again, did you do what Xun family did with Sun family, yuan family and Zhou familyJi Shangqing frowned: "mother, what do you say? What did your son do? "
Mrs. Ji rubbed her heart and nodded: "it seems that you didn't do it. I can finally put down my heart, so that I won't come to the bottom of the earth and have no face to see your father."
Ji Shangqing looked at Mrs. Ji strangely: "mother, you don't suspect that your son deliberately destroyed the marriage between Xun and those people, do you? My son didn't do that, not once! "
"I know you don't, but..." Old lady Ji paused and said with a bitter smile, "do you like that girl? I like it all the time. "
Ji Shangqing was stiff.
Mrs. Ji said bitterly, "you visited my aunt several times, but I didn't pay attention to her at first. Later, when something happened to Mr. Sun, you will take her back to Ji's house. You look at her in a different way than before Why do you think you can't wait to find another marriage for her after you take her back to Ji's house? "
Ji Shangqing blushed.
He thought he was hiding well, but it turned out that his mother had already understood.
The first time I went to Gusu, he stopped by to see her.
The second time, it was still by the way.
The third time
She seems to be a big girl. Her gentle smile is as beautiful as a cloud. She looks at him shyly. Her green charm reminds him of Zhaoming.
Mrs. Ji said sadly, "she is a child raised by Zhaoming. How can you care about her? Are you worthy of Zhaoming? I married her to the Zhou family. She had an accident in the Zhou family. You leave your business to get her back. I can't stop her! Do you really think I'm a motherfucker Is he a fool? "
Ji Shangqing was too shy: "mother..."
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Ji said, "what happened to her? I know you can't leave her no matter what. I love you. I agreed, but Shangqing, I may be wrong..."
Ji Shangqing looked at the tears in old man Ji's eyes and asked painfully, "what's wrong with mother?"
But Mrs. Ji didn't answer him. Instead, she said, "Shang Qing, do you trust your mother?"
Ji Shangqing nodded: "I believe it."
Mrs. Ji took out a letter from the wide sleeve and handed it to him: "look at it for yourself."
Ji Shangqing opened Sun Xun's letter to Xun LAN, and after reading it, his face changed.
