Chapter 2212 Doting on concubines and destroying wives
Chu Heng hurried back to his residence before dark.
But after all, I was too busy.
When they came back, Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo had already finished their dinner.
He called Ye Muyu to accompany him, and had dinner alone.
After washing, sit in front of the soft couch.
Received a message from the dark guard.
Ye Muyu is sorting out the banquet list and the account book of family expenses.
By the way, sort out some pinyin books.
Also conceived a new book.
The content of the new book has not yet determined what the theme is.
There are daily medical books to read, but I don’t have time.
but.
After discovering that Chu Heng read the secret letter sent by the secret guard and did not burn it immediately, she leaned over curiously: "What news, I read it for so long."
"No, it's about Mr. Zhong Ge." Chu Heng and Mr. Zhong Ge are both teachers and friends.
That's why he sent someone to inquire about what happened to Zhong's family after he left the Yamen.
Actually, it’s not a major event, but the eldest granddaughter, who has been married for many years, went back to the mansion, and after leaving behind her only son, she went back to her husband’s house.
Generally, it is very rare for a married woman to come back with a child and leave.
There is a contradiction in it at first glance.
The facts are indeed as Chu Heng guessed.
It is a very classic story of pampering concubines and destroying wives.
Elder Zhong Ge's eldest granddaughter married the son of the Household Minister's family. This Household Minister is a colleague of Huo Zhengming, and her son is now working as a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of Industry.
As the son of the servant's family, he is definitely not as good as Zhongge's hometown.
But helpless, Zhong Ge’s hometown has no successors, and Wu Shilang is a member of Qi Shangshu. At the beginning, Zhong Ge chose Mr. Wu because he was afraid that someone with too high a status would bully his granddaughter.
After all, although Mr. Zhong Ge was also a member of the cabinet at that time, he was not as high-ranking as he is now. His granddaughter was also compatible with the son of the servant's family, not to mention that Mr. Zhong Ge valued character more.
It's just who knows, the young master of the Wu family who thought he was a good character, unexpectedly met some kind of true love when he married his wife for five years and had such a big son.
It's fine to marry into the house, and let the concubine step on the main wife, fighting everywhere, causing the grandson of the Zhong family to fall into the lake and almost die.
And the evidence for this is all there, and it was the concubine who did it.
After the son of the Wu family found out, he helped the concubine to defend himself. He disliked the granddaughter of the Zhong family for not taking good care of the child, and she was always making trouble for the concubine. That's why there was so much trouble.
There are too many things like this in the back room.
In the capital, only a very small number of officials' back houses are clean.
When this kind of thing happens, most women can only bear it.
Presumably this time the parents and children were involved, so Miss Zhong couldn't take it anymore and went back to her mother's house for help.
After Ye Muyu listened, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "People's hearts are biased, even if the evidence is in front of them, they won't look at it."
"But Mr. Zhong Ge must have already made preparations." Chu Heng understood the reason for what Mr. Zhong Ge said today, if he guessed correctly.
There was an official newspaper, and after being warned by Mr. Zhong Ge, even if the Wu family was dissatisfied, they had no choice but to apologize to Miss Zhong's family.
Otherwise, the Wu family must not be able to afford to directly publish this news in the newspaper.
If it was the past, they would have persuaded them not to leave. Most of the women would have tolerated it, but today is different from the past. There are official newspapers. How dare these officials be caught by the people who reported to the yamen.
Even Chu Heng's own private affairs were published.
