Inheritance policy

Chapter 16 Confession
Mrs. Tai listened and nodded, signaling Xing Zhao to continue.

Xing Zhao pursed his lips, thought for a while, and continued: "But at this hour, Princess Yingyi didn't rest in a side room, but was with a man in a long-uninhabited courtyard. .”

Mrs. Tai frowned, feeling that this man had something to do with the Marquis of Lin'an, so she didn't ask any questions, she took a deep breath, nodded her jaw, and continued to listen to Xing Zhao.

When Xing Zhao said this, he raised his head, his eyes were shining like stars, she saw Mrs. Tai's complexion gradually became serious, she covered her eyes, and said softly but word by word: "Ah Wu, what you heard is Daddy's voice, Princess Yingyi asked Daddy to divorce her mother, and after her mother is divorced and returned to Fang's house, she will be able to marry into the He family and grow old with Daddy."

There was a clear and crisp sound of broken porcelain, and the old porcelain teacup with a round mouth blue and white painted with twining lotuses was knocked down to the ground, and the blue-yellow tea flowed down the gap onto the carpet, and the fine velvet white carpet was instantly stained. It became as dirty as brown.

The whole room was silent, the teacup was thrown down by Mrs. Tai in a fit of anger, she vaguely knew about He Yan's affairs when he was young, when He Yan went in and out of the palace frequently, he was smiling when he went, and beaming when he came back.The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are open, especially in the noble family. It is not a big deal for a young lady to have a secret relationship with a young gentleman, but they all understand that the family is bigger than the sky, and they will eventually obey the elders. Marriage is beneficial to the family The object of love, and then cut off the previous relationship, and manage your life well.

It's just that he didn't expect that He Yan fell in love with Ying Yi.What's more, he didn't expect that now that the dust had settled, the two would even meet in secret to discuss how to get rid of the obstacles in the way and continue their relationship.

How much shock this would bring to the He family, how much impact it would have on the relationship between the He Fang family, how much change it would bring to Jing Ge'er's future, have they ever thought about it!

Mrs. Tai knew that she was not finished, she asked in a deep voice: "What did Lord Hou say?"

"Father said that my mother did not commit any of the seven crimes, so she gave up rashly, fearing that the Fang family would not let it go." Xing Zhao spoke calmly, but when he raised his head again, there were tears in his eyes. He looked at Mrs. Tai Yin Yin, and continued. : "Princess Yingyi said, the Fang family has caught the eyes of the sage now, even if the mother dies in the He family, the Fang family can't take care of themselves, so how can they care about it. After hearing this, Dad's tone became very happy, and he kept asking Situation. Later, when someone came, Ah Wu went back to Tingyintang, and later, Princess Yingyi also went back to Tingyintang."

Xing Zhao didn't know what would happen in the court, but he remembered that in the previous life, after the eldest wife Fang committed suicide, the He family suppressed the matter and only said that the eldest wife died suddenly, and that Uncle Fang went to Ding Jing came to ask with a gun, and it was Mrs. Tai who came forward to use the entire He family as a guarantee, so the Fang family was willing to let it go.Later, Mrs. Tai resisted her death and stopped Yingyi from entering the door. It was the Queen Mother who came forward. Mrs. Tai compromised, but took He Xingjing to escape to Zhuangzi. She went to pick up her newborn child, but she didn't go back.

Xing Zhao secretly thought that in the previous life, Mrs. Tai should have known the cause and effect of the incident, but she only found out after her mother died.Persuading Fang's family to leave is a last resort to save the He family's face.Yingyi is not allowed to enter the door and hide from Zhuangzi with the scene, which is to preserve one's conscience amidst guilt.

Xing Zhao was betting on whether his guess was correct, the bet was too high, and he couldn't afford to lose.

When this matter can still be saved, Mrs. Tai will never stand idly by because of the temporary turmoil of the Fang family.

The four people in the room didn't speak, as if they were so quiet that they could even breathe heavily. Xing Zhao knelt on the ground steadily, and she didn't intend to continue talking.

There was silence for a long while, the knowing son was more like the mother, and Mrs. Tai snorted coldly: "It seems that Princess Yingyi knows the Lord Hou very well, and every sentence is scratching the itch. Marquis Lin'an is firmly seated, and the help of the Fang family is not enough. I need it. At this time, Ying Yi came, not only fulfilling the feelings of childhood, but also escorting the future career. I blame him for having been married for so many years, but he still doesn't like Fang's eyes, and he doesn't even look at Brother Jing Get close!"

Mrs. Zhang listened in panic. She is a confidant who has served Mrs. Tai for decades. Mrs. Tai has said more than once that Lord Hou is completely the seed of the He family. Inherited nothing left.

After Mrs. Tai finished speaking, she saw that the little lady was holding back her tears, but she was still able to not say a single bad word about He Yan under such circumstances.Mrs. Tai felt a pain in her heart. The women of the He family were in a difficult situation because of such a ruthless and ungrateful man as the He family. "

Xingzhao raised his face, shook his head, straightened his neck and said: "Ah Wu eavesdropped yesterday, Princess Yingyi spoke convincingly, and it seems that she has a chance to win. I am afraid that Princess Yingyi will use her power to bully others and murder her mother. She is also afraid that her father will be deceived by others and abandon her mother, and she is also afraid that Ah Wu will see her loving mother divorced, her elder brother will rebel against her father, and her mother will become a floating duckweed! Ah Wu only asks for the protection of her grandmother. !"

After finishing the last sentence, he kowtowed and bowed down on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

Lianyu on the side was crying so hard that she also knelt on the ground and cried repeatedly: "Madam Wanwang takes care of you! The fourth girl was overwhelmed all night yesterday, and she wanted to see the eldest lady, but she was afraid of revealing her words. Lord Hou, I dare not look into Lord Hou's eyes."

Mama Zhang wiped away her tears, but in her mind she remembered for no reason that when the old Hou Ye was still there, He Yan didn't ask about He Yan's studies at all, but he took the exam every day in Cui's room.When He Yan was five or six years old, he was instigated by a vicious servant and tore up all the books. At that time, Mrs. Tai did the same thing while holding back her neck and slapping He Yan's hand hard.
Mrs. Tai walked down the hall, lifted Xing Zhao up, hugged her in her arms, patted her on the back one after another, and comforted her in a warm voice: "Grandmother protects, grandma protects. Our He family is granted by Emperor Taizu. The nobles of Dan Shu Tie Quan, your mother is the clan wife of the He family, and Ying Yi dare not murder her openly. Your mother was married into the He family with eight palanquins at the order of her parents and according to the words of the matchmaker. You Father has no reason, let alone divorce her, if your father has this idea, I will be the first to say no."

Xing Zhao stuck in Mrs. Tai's arms, she had something in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, since Yingyi is an outsider, she naturally didn't dare to come to He's house again and again to harm others.And He Yan is from the He family, the person who eats and lives with the lady next to the pillow, what he wants to say and do is as easy as the palm of his hand.

"You know, my mother is cowardly and can't stand the wind and rain. Even Aunt Wan can make her cry. My brother moved to the outer courtyard again, and Ah Wu wants to move to the main courtyard to be with my mother." Xing Zhao said in a muffled voice.

Mrs. Tai nodded, that's fine, move to the main courtyard and live next to Mrs. Fang.If He Yan revealed his mouth or Ying Yi couldn't hold back anymore, Xing Zhao could at least be more alert and persuade Fang, fearing that it would cause a catastrophe.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to pack up the box today. According to the rules, it is eight years old to go out and live alone, but it makes sense to go out now. There is a small garden in the main courtyard, which is close to your mother's main hall and away from Rongshou hall. It's also close. Let Mama Zhang go to open the storeroom later, and choose some good things to display." Mrs. Tai promised repeatedly, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lianyu who was still kneeling from the corner of her eye, her eyes froze, and she said: "This girl I have been with you for many years, so I won't follow you this time, and stay in Rongshou Hall."

Xing Zhao was startled, and quickly got away. She could understand the intention of Mrs. Zhang. Lianyu was not Zhang's mother, and there was no love accumulated over the years. A slave knew such a secret thing, and the master had thousands of ways Ways to make you speechless.She couldn't let Lianyu be implicated again, she pulled Mrs. Tai's cloud sleeves, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday you sent Sister Suqing to ask her, but she didn't say anything. It can be seen that she is loyally protecting Ah Wu and the He family. , such a slave, there is no one else beside Ah Wu besides her."

Zhang's mother also persuaded: "Do you know that Lianyu is not another Linglong?"

Linglong is Zhang's mother's boudoir name.

Mrs. Tai looked at Lianyu, who was lying on the ground trembling, and heard what Zhang Mama said, her heart softened, but her voice was hard but she said to Lianyu a lot more gently: "Your master believes in you, so I will believe in you too." You have seen how decent Zhang's mother is by my side. Loyalty is the main thing, don't gossip, sooner or later you will have Zhang's mother's respect. "

Lianyu didn't even care to wipe away her tears, so she quickly kowtowed a few more times and sang: "Lianyu dare not, Fourth Miss has always been Lianyu's master, Fourth Miss protects Lianyu's heart, Lianyu will never forget .”

Xingzhao raised his face and smiled at Mrs. Tai, then leaned closer, hugged Mrs. Tai's waist tightly, and murmured: "Fortunately, there is still grandma. Daddy will definitely take pity on us."
