Chapter 347： Deep love, deep responsibility!

Chapter 347: Deep love, deep responsibility!

After Mr. Wen went to court, he took care of some errands and was very busy.

Going out to eat at noon, he was also startled when he saw Li Laosi waiting outside the Yamen. Hearing that there was something going on at the academy, he hurried over.

Old Mrs. Li was not polite to him. She sat down and explained the cause and effect of the matter, as well as her guess.

Mr. Wen also frowned and couldn't help but shake his head, "This good friend of mine is one of the best when it comes to talent and learning, but he is obsessed with poetry and books and doesn't pay much attention to the backyard. Now, I'm afraid he was deceived by my concubine, and this scandal happened. ”

Having said that, he stood up and said, "Aunt, please wait a moment. I'll go take a look. It's best to bring Jia Huan back. This matter involves the reputation of the Peng family girl, so we must keep it quiet."

“Don’t worry, Mr. Wen, only our family members know about this. But we don’t know how many people around the concubine were involved in the Peng family.

The old lady also stood up to see him off, and said, "In addition, today's incident is all about the family's irregularities. After the family comes back, we will ask him clearly what responsibilities he should bear. We, the Li family, will not evade."

Mr. Wen understood and hurried to the front of the college, reported his name, and was quickly let in.

Mr. Peng had finished lunch and had just gotten up from a nap. He asked the book boy for the herbal tea he often drank. The book boy said that it was not delivered from the backyard, which made him very surprised.

After all, my concubine would cook it with her own hands every day and put it in the well to chill, waiting for him to take a nap and have a drink to wake him up before he could study.

Just when he was about to tell the boy to ask, Mr. Wen arrived.

“Shaoyuan, why do you have time to come here today? Is there no errand for the Yamen?”

Mr. Wen waved his hand, motioning for him to sit down, and said straight to the point: "Qi Zheng, please step back. I have something to tell you."

Mr. Peng was surprised, but he still ordered the bookboy to guard the door.

Mr. Wen then explained the matter, and finally sighed and said: "It's not that I am biased, you also know that I met the Li family during a time of crisis. From the old lady to the three-year-old child, the Li family are all of good character and have a very good family tradition. It's true, it's impossible to lie without reason or wrong someone. After all, the Li family still has two children in the academy.

"So you have to ask about this matter carefully. See if your legitimate daughter has been wronged, see if your concubine is not what she seems and has done something behind your back, otherwise she will get worse in the future. You have no scruples. If something happens and your reputation is ruined, how can you gain a foothold in the academy?"

Mr. Peng didn’t speak for a long time. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on him.

After all, the concubine took good care of her eldest daughter, greeted him, and gave birth to a son. How could she do this behind the scenes?

But my friends and the Li family would not join forces to lie just to slander a concubine of their Peng family!

He took a deep breath and called the book boy to ask for the housekeeper who had been recovering from illness.

The housekeeper is only in his forties today. He has been following Mr. Peng since he was a child. However, he has been sick frequently in the past two years. Then he left all the family affairs in the hands of the second wife in the backyard.

Now that he heard that the master wanted him to inquire about something, the housekeeper immediately became energetic and left at that time.

Soon, the mother-in-law who was locked up in Li's shop was brought back to the academy in a bag, and the young lady and Jia Huan in the Peng family's cellar were also sent to the study...

 Zhao Yuru and Li Laosan were busy preparing the ingredients for the evening, but they kept staring at the academy door, wishing they could turn into the autumn wind and get in to take a look.

Mrs. Li took her granddaughter to the end of the street to buy sticky cakes and came back. When she saw them like this, she told them, "Don't worry too much. Be careful when cutting your hands."

Jiayin also took the sticky cake and raised it to the mouths of San Bo and San Bo’s mother, “San Bo eats it, and my mother eats it. This is Brother Jiaxi’s favorite sticky cake!”

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru didn't want to let their niece down, so they ate a piece each.

Li Laosi was chopping a large pile of firewood in the backyard. Now he came up wiping his sweat and joked, "Did Fu Niu'er forget about daddy?"

Jiayin quickly ran over, found the biggest piece in the box, and fed it to her father. “Daddy is a strong man, so he has to eat big sticky cakes!”

Everyone laughed, and at this time, the door of the academy finally opened.

Mr. Wen was in front, and the haggard Jia Huan was behind, and they finally walked out.

Zhao Yuru couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed up to her and had a good time, then returned to the backyard of the shop.

Everyone welcomed Mr. Wen and followed him. Zhao Yuru's slaps had already hit his son like raindrops, "I'll beat you to death, you useless thing! You want to make me mad! You always run to the academy on weekdays, and I still think you are Diligent, it turns out you are here for someone else’s daughter!

“Tell me, what bad things have you done? If you say anything, I will break your legs!”

Zhao Yuru was really angry. The so-called deep love means deep responsibility.

At that time, she and Wu Cuihua married into the Li family. Wu Cuihua became pregnant first, so she started to make fun of Qiao and was lazy and refused to work.

Although my mother-in-law is fair and sensible, she still takes on a lot of extra work.

Fortunately, within a few months, she also became pregnant, and then she felt that she had gained a foothold in her husband's family.

It can be said that Jia Huan is her support and confidence.

Over the years, although Jia Huan is not as smart as Jia Ren, nor does she have the natural power of Jia Yi, she is honest, responsible and diligent. Everyone in the family likes her, and she is also happy.

How could she have imagined that the honest son she had always believed in would actually hook up with someone else's daughter without telling the family? !

What happened today is that the concubine of the Peng family was greedy and planned to blackmail the Li family. Mr. Wen also tried his best to help, otherwise we don’t know how it would end!

Jia Huan knelt on the ground and let her mother beat and scold her without saying a word.

Jiayin saw that the bluestone in front of her brother was wet with tears. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her brother's head, pleading for mercy, "If you don't hit me, please let me talk. I must not have done it on purpose!"

The beating hit his son and hurt his mother's heart, so Zhao Yuru couldn't bear to do it. As expected, she stopped her hand and sat aside wiping her tears.

Mrs. Li stepped forward to help her grandson, let him sit on the small bench, and asked: "Brother Huan, grandma believes you are not a bad boy. Tell grandma, what is going on between you and the Peng family girl? Have you done anything wrong?”

Jia Huan raised his head, choked with red eyes, "Grandma, I didn't, I didn't have an affair with Miss Peng, I just... I just pitied her. She was treated harshly by her concubine and didn't have enough to eat every day. I helped her buy silk thread, and she At night, I would secretly tie the hair off, and then I would help her sell it and exchange it for food.

"I have never been close to her, not even holding hands! She is a good girl, well-educated, and I can only cook, so I am not good enough for her!"

The old lady listened carefully and finally felt relieved.

At first, Sun Tzu took pity on Miss Peng and tried his best to help her. Later, he had more contact with her, fell in love and felt inferior, so he couldn't help but have more contact with her.

Finally, he was discovered by the covetous concubine, who found an opportunity and planned to blackmail the Li family.

Zhao Yuru also understood, raised her hand and slapped her son twice more, then told the price of the Peng family's concubine, and cursed: "You are so heartless, you thought you were doing things secretly, but in fact, others have discovered it a long time ago! "

Jia Huan's face turned red, ashamed and angry.

Humiliated that I had accidentally allowed my family to be coerced, and resentful that my concubine treated his beloved girl harshly, and now she is planning like this!

Old Mrs. Li no longer paid attention to her grandson, who was a dazed young man, and turned to ask Mr. Wen, "Mr. Wen, what do the Peng family say? How should we deal with that concubine?"
