Chapter 125
"It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm just here to watch the excitement." Meng Fuling smiled and didn't even look at Zhu Shi.

"Meng Fuling, you are the one who brought people from the Cheng family here, and now you are ashamed to say that you are just watching the fun?" Shan Daguan rushed to Meng Fuling with his eyes wide open.

"What do you mean by that? This dirty incident happened in your family, and you still don't want me to come? Why did I invite Cheng's family to come?" Meng Fuling asked inexplicably.

Everyone else thought that Senior Official Shan was too angry and couldn't find an outlet, so they blamed Meng Fuling.

Although those in the Cheng family didn't like Meng Fuling, the senior official Shan was an obstacle for them to deal with Widow Liu. Therefore, Zhu pointed at the senior official Shan and said, "Fart! How dare you do such a shameless thing. Just don't bring it up to Meng Fuling! I'll ask you again, where did you get my son?"

From the perspective of the Cheng family and the others, Widow Liu and Daguan Shan must have co-operated to trick Cheng Jiabao into elopement. Otherwise, why did they get together in the blink of an eye?
"What's none of my business? Widow Liu eloped with Cheng Jiabao last year, and Widow Liu and I only got married two months ago." Senior Official Shan argued vigorously.

Previously at Meng Fuling's house, she was a willow, but now she changed her name to a willow widow.

Official Shan was reluctant to part with Widow Liu's body, but now, the Cheng family said that he and Widow Liu had teamed up to kill Cheng Jiabao, and he could not admit to this trumped-up charge.

If the woman is gone, he can still find him. After pleading guilty to this crime, maybe he will have to go to jail. It's not worth it for a woman.

"Well, you heartless bastard! Obviously you forced me to seduce Cheng Jiabao, and afterwards, you took Cheng Jiabao away. I don't even know where you got him. Now, how dare you push me away?" on my head."

Widow Liu is not a cheap lamp. Seeing that Senior Official Shan wanted to leave her behind, of course she quit, so she just bit him back.

Seeing this situation, Meng Fuling's lips continued to sneer, and she helped Meng Qiuchan to the side.

After they have dealt with the mess, there is no rush to deal with Meng Qiuchan's affairs, there is no need to intervene here.

"Don't talk nonsense, I had nothing to do with you at that time, don't expect me to take the blame for you." Shan Daguan turned pale with anger, calling Widow Liu despicable in his heart.

They had completely forgotten the sweet words they said when they were exercising on the kang. At this moment, they were biting each other, wishing to put all the responsibility on each other.

"That's enough! If you're sensible, hand over my son quickly, otherwise, I'll arrest you and bring you to the court." The old man Cheng lost his patience and shouted sharply.

This sound really stopped Senior Official Shan and Widow Liu, no matter how violent they were, they didn't want to bring the matter to court because of their guilty conscience, especially Widow Liu, she was really a little scared.

Seeing that things are getting worse and worse, the people in this village have no choice but to come forward. After all, Senior Official Shan is the only scholar in their village. Now that the Cheng family and other villagers are making trouble on the ground, if they keep silent, If it spread, people would laugh at their village.

"What's going on?" Li Zheng saw Widow Liu lying naked on the ground, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Widow Liu is a well-known slut in ten miles and eight villages. She relied on her husband's death and has no in-laws. She often hooked up with men everywhere and slept with many men.

The reason why Lizheng didn't arrest her and go to Shentang was because once he was drunk and passed by her house, and she dragged him in to do something, so she had a clue.

Last year, Widow Liu and Cheng Jiabao eloped, and Li Zheng was glad that she no longer had to threaten her with that matter.

"Li Zheng, you are wronged! They slandered me for murdering Cheng Jiabao..." Seeing Li Zheng, Widow Liu cried out as if she had seen a savior.

Meng Fuling thought to herself, could it be that Widow Liu's concubine is also in this village?

"What's it called? I didn't ask you!" Li Zheng said angrily with his old face darkened.

Instead, he asked the Cheng family's reason for coming, and the Cheng family added more details about how Widow Liu lied to Cheng Jiabao. In words, they had to force Widow Liu to hand over Cheng Jiabao.

Widow Liu and Senior Official Shan shied away from each other again, the scene was too chaotic, because it was true that Widow Liu and Cheng Jiabao had eloped, and Lizheng wanted to favor Senior Official Shan, so he wanted to bring Widow Liu to the ancestral hall for interrogation.

Where is the shrine?Only those who have made serious mistakes enter. Once in, if you ask for family law, you will have to be boarded, and if it is serious, you will have to sit on a tiger stool.

"No! Lizheng, you can't treat me like this, we are, huh—" Widow Liu was stunned, and in a panic, she was about to call out that she was having an affair with Lizheng.

Li Zheng was also in a hurry, and hurried forward, covering Widow Liu's mouth.

Although this move would arouse suspicion, no one dared to gossip about Li Zheng.

Finally, Widow Liu was taken to the ancestral hall, and the Cheng family followed.

Meng Fuling secretly sighed that it would take a lot of time to deal with the affairs of Widow Liu and Cheng's family, and it would be the turn of Meng Qiuchan and Senior Official Shan to wait.

"Fu Ling, thank you. Without you, I don't know what I would do." They also followed to the ancestral hall. On the way, Meng Qiuchan said with red eyes.

"Third Aunt, you can't say that. If you don't know, you might think that all your words and deeds are instigated by me." Meng Fuling stopped, her tone slightly cold.

When she was at home, she found the scissors inadvertently exposed under Meng Qiuchan's sleeves, and now her words sound like a beating.

But Meng Qiuchan wiped away her tears as if she didn't understand, saying that reconciliation would hurt a woman's reputation and it would be difficult to remarry, but what should she do in the future?Where should we go?
No matter how dull people are, they can hear the meaning of committing suicide in Meng Qiuchan's words.

Meng Fuling frowned tightly, she was the one who accompanied Meng Qiuchan here today, if anything happened, she would not be able to shirk the responsibility.

They walked very slowly, and when they arrived at the ancestral hall, the execution was already taking place inside, and even women and children from the same village were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, let alone Meng Fuling, who was from another village.

Therefore, she and Meng Qiuchan could only squeeze through the door and saw Widow Liu being beaten to pieces.

The onlookers fell silent after being stopped by Li Zheng and the clan elders.

Widow Liu shouted weakly: "I said, I said, I encouraged Cheng Jiabao to elope..."

She had thought that Cheng Jiabao's family was fairly well-off, and that elopement with her would definitely take away the family's money. As a result, the Cheng family's financial power was tightly held by Zhu, and Cheng Jiabao only stole a few taels of silver.

What is a few taels of silver?Widow Liu naturally looked down on her, and felt that she had left home and eloped with Cheng Jiabao, and in the end she only got a few taels of silver, which was really a loss.

Therefore, Widow Liu tricked Cheng Jiabao into a dental shop and sold her own son, because she didn't know who the son was born to, and it would cost money to raise her son, so it would be better to sell it. some silver.

Many people were shocked when they heard this, saying that a tiger's poison does not eat its sons, and this Widow Liu hated her so much that she even sold her own flesh and blood, no wonder she has not seen her son until now.

Meng Fuling was also taken aback by Widow Liu's aggressive thinking. What does it mean to spend money to raise a son, why not sell it?

But some people's focus is not on Widow Liu selling her son, such as Cheng's family, they are all mad with anger.

Zhu's body swayed and almost fell to the ground. After regaining consciousness, she rushed over madly and rode on the widow Liu who was pinned to the ground. She raised her fist and beat her, "I'll kill you whore... "

Widow Liu had just been beaten with a board, how could she have the strength to fight back?
As for Senior Official Shan, who had just been cleared of the suspicion of murdering Cheng Jiabao, he wouldn't foolishly move forward.

"Okay, don't beat her to death. Since she admits that she has sold the treasure, she has to be sent to the government." An elder of the Cheng family was afraid that someone would die, so he hurriedly asked Zhu to pull away the irrational Mrs. Zhu.

After all, Widow Liu is from the village, and she sold her son, so she should be sent to see the official.

But to the point of meeting an official, it will also affect the reputation of the village, not to mention that Widow Liu sold her parents and children. Wherever this matter is put, she should be beaten to death with a stick.

After discussing with the clan elders of this village, Lizheng decided to divorce her on behalf of the widow Liu's late husband's family, and then kick her out of the village.

"No!" Widow Liu fainted immediately after hearing this. Once a woman is divorced, her nationality and genealogy will be removed.

If her natal family refuses to accept her and naturalize her, then she will be a homeless person from now on, and will be a lonely ghost after death.

Meng Fuling looked away and saw that Meng Qiuchan's hand holding the scissors was trembling uncontrollably, as if she might rush up and stab Widow Liu to death at any moment.

She pressed Meng Qiuchan's hand and said in a low voice: "Widow Liu will definitely end badly. If you do anything to her now, you will only benefit her, and you will not end well."

After hearing her words, Meng Qiuchan did not act rashly, but only looked down at her stomach.

"You have to ask her where she sold her family treasure, so I can get it back." Cheng's family members dragged Widow Liu up from the ground, someone said.

"Hmph!" The Cheng family was very dissatisfied with Li Zheng and others' move to disregard their relationship with Widow Liu.

After all, because they were not in their own village, the Cheng family didn't dare to do anything, so they had to tie up Widow Liu, and the group left with a sullen face.

As soon as they left, Meng Qiuchan walked to the entrance of the ancestral hall, "Qiu Lizheng and all the old men make decisions for me."

Meng Fuling did not follow, she had no reason to intervene in this matter, she could only stay behind Meng Qiuchan.

Lizheng and the others had seen Meng Qiuchan a long time ago, and they knew that the matter was not over yet, so they looked at Senior Official Shan, whose face was a little pale, and they had a headache.

"Daughter-in-law of a senior official, but for the matter of the senior official and Widow Liu? Men, it is inevitable that when they make mistakes, it is good to know their mistakes, and you can forgive him this time? After all, you all have—" Li Zheng began to persuade Meng Qiu Chan.

He was about to say that after all they all had children, and then he realized that something was wrong. Why did Meng Qiuchan's stomach become flat before she gave birth?
Just now everyone's attention was focused on Senior Official Shan and Widow Liu, but now Jian Lizheng looked stunned, following his gaze, they all looked at Meng Qiuchan's belly.

"Lizheng, Senior Officer Shan connived at Widow Liu and killed my child, how can I forgive him?" Meng Qiuchan explained the situation at that time in detail.

After everyone heard this, there was a commotion. Although the story of Mr. Shan and Widow Liu had spread in the village, there were many people who condemned Mr. Shan behind their backs.

But who would have thought that he would indulge Widow Liu to cause his wife to have a miscarriage?What's the difference between this and killing parents and children?It's not as good as a beast.

Amidst the scolding by everyone, Senior Official Shan showed no repentance, and shouted at Meng Qiuchan, "Nonsense! You were the one who pulled on Widow Liu and was pushed down by her. I was in another room at the time, and it was too late to stop me."

Meng Fuling secretly felt that it was ridiculous, Senior Official Shan was really good at making excuses, this evasion was different from what she said in her house.

She didn't want to speak at first, but seeing the situation, she couldn't help but said: "Since you know that Widow Liu pushed her, why didn't you send her to see a doctor? Let her run back to her mother's house for help, but you still left Widow Liu at home? After all, you are still indulging Widow Liu, and it may even be that you have agreed in advance that Widow Liu will do the trick."

Meng Fuling's words immediately attracted the approval of everyone present, isn't that the reason?Official Shan really had no intention of harming Meng Qiuchan, so why did he keep the murderer who killed his child at home?
Some people also said that Meng Qiuchan should have stood up just now and taught Widow Liu a lesson before letting the Cheng family take her away.

After hearing this, Meng Qiuchan cried bitterly: "The person I hate the most is not Widow Liu, but Senior Official Shan!"

She took a deep breath and stared at Senior Officer Shan again, her eyes filled with intense hatred, "Mr. Shan, since I married you, I have always abided by women's morals and done my duty as a wife with all my heart. But what did you do to me, Law?"

Before Senior Official Shan could reply, Li Zheng and the elders of the clan also condemned him one after another. This matter was obvious, so no one gave him a chance to defend himself.

What about a scholar?It is shameless for a scholar to do such a thing that is not as good as a beast.

As high as Shan Daguan is usually praised by others, he is trampled down at this time. If he is not still in the ancestral hall, he might be smashed into rotten eggs.

"Qiuchan, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me." Shan Daguan finally couldn't bear the endless swearing, and he knew he was afraid. He climbed up to Meng Qiuchan, hugged her feet, and begged her forgive.

He thought to himself that Meng Qiuchan was just angry now, and with her weak nature, if she coaxed her well, she would be fine.After a long time, the villagers will no longer pursue what happened today.

Unexpectedly, Meng Qiuchan was really chilled, pulled out her foot, stepped back a few steps, and said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, I want to make peace with Senior Official Shan!"

"What? You want to make peace with me?" Shan Daguan turned his face instantly, staring at Meng Qiuchan.

"Yes! Heli, I can't live with the accomplice who killed my child." Meng Qiuchan's attitude was very firm.

Shan Daguan's expression became very fierce, how could he still look like a scholar?
Pointing at Meng Qiuchan, he said in a vicious voice, "You're dreaming! I know, you must be on good terms with someone else, so you can't wait to get back together. Maybe you're pregnant with someone else's seed."

If Widow Liu is still on good terms with him, he will definitely divorce Meng Qiuchan, but under the current circumstances, if he agrees to divorce, it will become a stain on him for the rest of his life.

Meng Fuling's three views have been refreshed again, how can the official Shan be so shameless?How could he still bite Meng Qiuchan back?
She really wants to help Meng Qiuchan now, but there is no room for her to speak, after all, the matter of their husband and wife and divorce has been involved.

"Officer Shan, you are so bloody! Why do you want to abuse me like this? I will fight with you!" Meng Qiuchan was so angry that she had been slandered for no reason by the official Shan, and she lost all reason.

She showed the scissors in her hand and stabbed Daguan Shan with all her strength.

Everyone was stunned by her actions, and exclamations rose one after another.

Although Meng Fuling had expected it, she was still shocked. If Meng Qiuchan really killed Senior Official Shan, she would also be implicated.

She didn't have time to think about it, she was about to step forward to stop Meng Qiuchan, unexpectedly, someone pushed her from behind, pushing her directly between Meng Qiuchan and Shan Daguan.

"what--"

"what--"

Meng Fuling and Meng Qiuchan screamed at the same time.

Seeing that Meng Fuling was about to be stabbed by the scissors, suddenly a silver light passed over everyone's heads and hit the scissors directly.

After a crisp ding, the scissors in Meng Qiuchan's hand fell to the ground.

Meng Fuling broke out in a cold sweat from fright, her heart was pounding and beating fast, she looked up and saw that the people at the door had dispersed at some point.

But I saw Han Hualin standing outside wearing a plain white brocade robe with a chilly complexion.

He walked over quickly, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Meng Fuling was fine, "Fortunately, I came in time."

Meng Fuling patted her chest and was about to speak when Senior Official Shan said angrily, "Meng Qiuchan, I want to sue you for murdering my husband!"

"Aren't you okay? Don't say that you are not guilty of the crime, even if she really kills you, you deserve it." Meng Fuling sneered.

"Shut up, we don't need you, an outsider, to take care of our business!" Senior Officer Shan was so frightened that his whole body went limp just now, but now when he speaks, he still lacks confidence.

"Hmph!" Meng Fuling snorted coldly, and walked outside with Han Hualin without saying anything.

Meng Fuling had already guessed how things would be handled when the situation developed to this point, and it was really not suitable for her to intervene.

"Why are you here?" Meng Fuling asked, if Han Hualin hadn't made a timely move, she would either have been killed or injured.

"Your mother said you were here." Han Hualin went to Meng Fuling's house, and it was Xue who told him that Meng Fuling was here, and even found a villager to bring him to the village.

The ancestral hall was not far from the entrance of the village. He had just entered the village, and after a short walk, he saw many people surrounded the ancestral hall.

For the convenience of finding Meng Fuling, Han Hualin sat outside the carriage. From the height of the carriage, she saw Meng Fuling standing in front of the crowd at a glance, and found a man in the crowd quietly moving behind her.

He was about to get out of the car to catch the man, but it was too late, and the man reached out and pushed Meng Fuling violently.

In desperation, Han Hualin took out a piece of silver and threw it over, only to narrowly save Meng Fuling.

"What do you want from me?" Her intuition told her that Han Hualin came to her in such a hurry, there must be nothing good.

Han Hualin glanced around, "We'll talk at your house!"

Meng Fuling nodded, this is indeed not the place to talk, she asked again: "Did you see who pushed me?"

"I see, a man with his face covered, he runs away after pushing you. Look at his running gait, he is just an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts." Han Hualin was still a little scared.

"Where are you going? You have to send someone to catch her." Meng Fuling didn't want to let off the person who wanted to harm her.

"I've already asked Xiaohe to chase after him." Xiaohe is Han Hualin's servant, and he also knows some punches.

When they were talking, there was already a result in the ancestral hall, and the two sides reconciled.

Meng Qiuchan's attempt to kill Senior Official Shan was unsuccessful, but Li Zheng and the others were displeased by this move. Since she was agitated by emotions, she was not pursued.

******
According to the regulations of their village, when husband and wife reconcile, the house will belong to the original owner.

The house belonged to a senior official, and when Meng Qiuchan married him, she didn't have much dowry, so there was not much money left.

Now there are only a few old clothes that can be packed away. After moving out, she is really homeless.

Meng Fuling felt sorry for her, so she had no choice but to take her home first, and we'll talk about what to do later.

Right now, Meng Fuling is still thinking about Han Hualin's intentions, "Now we can talk about it."

"I received the news that the Nanban started to rebel, but the news has not been sent back to the capital city. Qi Xuan may lead the army to go out soon after returning this time." Han Hualin said with a serious face.

Meng Fuling was startled by the news, and then she calmed down quickly, "Since the news hasn't been sent back to Beijing, how did you know?"
