Ajiu

Chapter 32
The Marquis of Linjiang watched Xu family leave in a daze, and he didn't relax for a long time.

Xu Shi, who has always been gentle and docile, looks fierce, arrogant and aggressive even from the back today.Marquis Linjiang never dreamed that she would be like this. For a moment, he was confused and dizzy.

The cousin has no affection for him, the majestic Marquis of Linjiang, the unparalleled young master of Zhuoshijia, which really hit the Marquis of Linjiang very hard.He has always regarded himself as a suave and romantic person, and always thought that his cousin admired him and was attached to him, but Wei Guogong was cold and ruthless, and insisted on beating the mandarin ducks, which caused him and his cousin to be separated from each other and could not stay together forever.

"Men marry and women marry, they have nothing to do with each other... Men and women marry, they have nothing to do with each other..." Marquis Linjiang murmured dejectedly, with a melancholy and bewildered expression.

After an unknown amount of time, an elegant and pure white dress appeared in front of his eyes, which made his eyes shine.Raising his head, his sweetheart Ah Zhen was standing gracefully, smiling sweetly, with a hint of shyness at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I've embarrassed Lord Hou." Ye looked at him guiltily, with a soft voice, as helpless as a little girl who did something wrong.

Marquis Linjiang sighed, "I can't blame you, Ah Zhen, I know you have good intentions." Seeing him, Ah Zhen's neck drooped, feeling ashamed, she pulled her over distressedly, and let her sit beside him.

Mrs. Ye thanked him tearfully, "Master Hou still loves me!"

"My Ah Zhen is painful." Linjiang Hou said softly.

Mrs. Ye was secretly happy, and hurriedly took the opportunity to confess, "Back then, I did everything possible to ask Grandma Liugu to show my heart, so that Grandma Liu would not mind me and still abide by the marriage contract. Today I recklessly came out because I also wanted to ask Grandma Liugu For the sake of her in-laws, I beg her to help Lord Hou and Ling'er."

Ye Shi knew very well that in the past ten or twenty years, she would not be able to go back to the capital.The Chen clan will not let her go, and Mrs. Hou and the Qiu clan will not let her go. If she returns to the capital with Marquis Linjiang, let alone the days of bossing her around and being well-clothed and well-fed, she may not even be able to save her life.If she wants to return to the capital, she can only pin her hopes on her only son, Chen Lingyun.

Only when Chen Lingyun grows up and is promising, can she be honored and raised in Chen Lingyun's family as an old lady and old lord.If Chen Lingyun was worthless, she would have to confess for the rest of her life, and there was no hope.

Chen Lingyun's current situation is not much better than hers.He once swiped his knife and slashed Linjianghou's wife, and when he returned to Beijing, he didn't know what was waiting for him.It is possible to be expelled from the clan, accused of disobedience, expelled from Beijing, neglected and despised, etc.

Since there are various disadvantages in returning to the capital, the only option is not to return for the time being.If a young and beautiful woman and a child who is only seven years old cannot return to Beijing with Marquis Linjiang, how should she be accommodated?A young woman and a seven-year-old child, neither of which can support the family, living together in South Garden is not an option at all.

Linjiang Hou was first threatened by Mrs. Tai, and then forced by his cousin Xu, so he had to leave.At this critical juncture, Mrs. Ye didn't even care about being coquettish, and there was only one thing on her mind, "What will we do from now on, mother and son?"

Mrs. Ye was also very confused and didn't know what to do, so she could only try her best to please Linjianghou, so that Linjianghou would do his best for her and plan for her.

Marquis Linjiang also had no idea, his handsome face was clouded with sorrow, "It would be best for you and Ling'er to go back to Beijing with me, but you can put your mother and son in another courtyard, and I will often go to visit. However, the Qiu family is vicious , the Qiu family is cruel, if they break in and take you while I'm not around...?"

Marquis of Linjiang shivered coldly, Ye Shi felt the same fear as him.They have already seen how fierce Qiu is. With Qiu's temperament, if he knew that Ye was recuperating in another courtyard, Bao Buqi would lead people, armed with knives and axes, to rush to other courtyards to commit crimes.

Returning to Beijing is absolutely impossible.

Staying in Suzhou, one is that the two are separated, and I can't bear it, and the other is that Ye's young and weak woman lives alone with her son and no one to look after her, which is desolate.After thinking about it, they couldn't bear it.

If you can't leave when you leave, and you can't stay when you stay, what should you do?The two were crying, sad and sad.

"Ling'er is such a good child, how could the Pei family look down on him!" Mrs. Ye was worried and angry at the same time, "It's too blind and decisive, Ling'er is the son of the Hou family."

If the Pei family agrees, what is there to worry about now?Just entrust Ling'er to the Pei family.What is annoying is that the Pei family pretended to take Joe and refused to nod.I don't know what the Pei family thinks, it's just the magistrate's granddaughter, Ling'er, the prince of the Hou family, could it be possible to humiliate her?

Linjiang Marquis Ruoxiao said, "Hearing what my cousin said, she is extremely contemptuous of concubines and servants. The Pei family probably despise Ling'er's status as a concubine."

The provisions in the household law are clear, "At the beginning of the engagement of a man and a woman, if there is a disability, the old or the young, a concubine, a housemate, or a beggar, the two families must clearly notify each other, write a marriage certificate according to their wishes, and follow the etiquette. Dowry." Why did the concubine make a special statement?Because giving birth to a concubine is the same as disability, intercourse, begging, etc., it is unusual, and it should be informed in advance.Being a concubine is always not as legitimate as being born a concubine.

"What's wrong with being a concubine?" A flash of resentment flashed in Ye's eyes, "Is it noble to be born a concubine? I don't think so. As long as the child is good, being a concubine is nothing."

Linjiang Hou sighed, "You think clearly. It's a pity that people who are as transparent as you are too rare and rare."

The two faced each other with sad faces, as if they had eaten yellow lotus, they were bitter.

The Marquis of Linjiang was supposed to set off to return to the capital, but he cared about the Ye family, and the eldest son of Chen Lingyun, he hesitated for almost three days, but he still didn't leave.

Mrs. Tai said that she would sue him for disobedience, and Mrs. Xu threatened him face to face. However, Marquis Linjiang kept comforting himself: Whether it is Mrs. Tai or his cousin, they are just talking and will not actually do it.

The Marquis of Linjiang wrote a letter full of emotion and emotion, and ordered someone to send it to the capital on a flying horse to Mrs. Tai.In the letter, he complained and begged, "The child is really sick, and now he is listless. Do you have the heart to let the child run around on the road with the illness? Mother, you are the most reasonable, how about a few more months for the child?"

After the letter was sent out, Marquis Linjiang only accepted it as his mother and agreed, and ignored it.

As for Mrs. Xu, Linjiang Hou calmed down and thought about it, and felt that his cousin was just tough in her mouth, but she was actually very weak and delicate.She is too kind to be as vicious as the Qiu family.

The Marquis of Linjiang decided to stay in Suzhou for the time being, until he figured out a good way to settle Ye Shi and Chen Lingyun properly without any worries.

On the fourth day after Mrs. Xu left, Second Master Pei visited Nanyuan.He was dressed in a black long gown, his appearance was extraordinary, and his expression was calm, as beautiful as a black-clothed boy in a Wei-Jin painting scroll.The Marquis of Linjiang has always been conceited of his appearance, but when he saw Erye Pei like this, he felt ashamed of himself that "the pearl is by his side, and I feel dirty."

Second Master Pei refused to sit down, and said with a smile: "The yamen still has some urgent business, I have to hurry back. We are close relatives, so let's not pay attention to those vain etiquette, Brother Chen, it's important."

It's hard to get rid of the visitors, Linjiang Hou felt a chug in his heart.

You don't even want to sit, Pei Er, is this your way of being a guest?
Second Master Pei took out a letter from his sleeve, "My father's secret news from the capital in the same year was related to Brother Chen. Brother Chen, I don't know who is going to oppose you and instigate Yu Shi to participate in the performance. The two people who plan to participate in the performance are Two crimes: being unfilial and disobedient; pampering concubines and destroying wives. Brother Chen, if you are accused of these two crimes, maybe this Marquis will not be able to do it."

Both of these are serious charges.

The Marquis of Linjiang turned pale with shock.

"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful. Brother Chen, you can stay in Suzhou for a long time and settle down in this water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Wouldn't it be interesting to be a Marquis of Linjiang and wandering in Suzhou with wild cranes?" Second Master Pei laughed.

The Marquis of Linjiang was not very courageous. Hearing what Pei Erye said, his soul flew into the sky.Will the title of Marquis really be lost?This is the inheritance passed down from the ancestors. The descendants can't carry forward the family and pay it back. The inheritance passed down by the ancestors will be lost. This... can't be drowned by the spittle of the tribe.Besides, one day when you go underground, what face will you have to see your ancestors?

It must have been instigated by the Qiu family!Linjiang Hou felt resentful in his heart.

Besides Qiu Shi, who else would hate me so much?There will be no one else, only Qiu Shi.

My cousin was just threatening me, but Mrs. Qiu took action quietly!The Marquis of Linjiang felt quite chilled when he thought of what Mrs. Qiu had done.

"I'm going back to Beijing to settle the score with her!" Marquis Linjiang protested.

You can't lose your ancestral title, and you can't be charged with the two scary crimes of "disobedience and disobedience" and "doting concubines and destroying wives". Let's go back to Beijing and set off immediately.

As for Ah Zhen and Ling Er, I can't take care of them for now. "If there is no skin, how will the hair be attached"?If something really happened to the Marquis of Linjiang, how could they have a good life.

The Marquis of Linjiang ordered people to pack their luggage immediately and set off tomorrow.

"Thank you Brother Pei for informing this matter, I am grateful, I am grateful." Lin Jianghou thanked again and again.

Second Master Pei smiled and said politely, "Please accompany me." He turned around and left in a hurry.

After Second Master Pei left, the South Garden became a mess.The Marquis of Linjiang has always been particular about his diet and daily life. He was about to leave for Beijing, and he had to prepare a lot of daily necessities. Aunt Zhen led people to pack his luggage, and was so busy that he was dizzy.Knowing that Marquis Linjiang wanted to go back to the capital alone, Ye's tears flowed down her cheeks, "Master Hou, what should Ling'er and I do?"

It's not safe to live here, if the Qiu family sends a confidant to come here, they can still sell her and escort Chen Lingyun back to the capital.

With the Marquis of Linjiang protecting her, the Ye family can live in prosperity; if the Marquis of Linjiang is not by her side, she will immediately have no support and will be slaughtered.

Linjiang Hou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at the moment, and he didn't care about her, so he just said vaguely: "You live here first, and we'll talk about it later." No matter March 21 or [-], I have to go back to Beijing to clear up the situation. Stay stable and keep the title of Marquis of Linjiang.Anything else, talk about it later, talk about it later.

How could Mrs. Ye agree to it, she kept clinging to Linjiang Hou blindly, not allowing Linjiang Hou to leave her mother and son alone.Ye Shi is usually gentle and considerate, but at this critical moment, she also became anxious and quarreled with Marquis Linjiang.

"You said you would take care of me forever!"

"You said that I will bear children for you, and you will treat me well for the rest of your life!"

"Are you going to abandon me now? You are so cruel."

Chen Lingyun ran over swiftly, stood beside Ye Shi, and looked at his father Linjiang Hou angrily, "How can you bully my mother?" Although he was young, his eyes were fierce and sharp, and Lin Jiang Hou yelled in fright .
