Mu Huagui

Chapter 114
"What is the elder's business in the capital?" Hearing the report, the elder frowned.During this period of time, he either went out for a walk, or stayed at Aunt Yu's place when he returned home, but he ignored the old lady's place, and was a little confused when he heard the news.

"Separation." The old lady gathered the five sons and daughter-in-law into her room, her sallow face became more colorless.When the sons heard it, they looked at each other in blank dismay. They hadn't heard of it before.

"Mother, what are you doing? What is wrong with my son? You can scold me at will. Now that the family is separated, what will others think of our Chen family?" In the midst of it, wouldn't it seem that he was at a loss to separate the family at this time.

"I've already decided that I won't have a good life for a few years even if I'm an old bone. I can feel at ease if I divide the family while I'm alive."

Everyone was consoling for a while, but the old lady was determined, so she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut, looking at the old man, only waiting for him to let go.

"Is the mother still staying with her son?" The elder asked cautiously, on the cusp of the storm, if the old lady refused to live with him, wouldn't it be that his crime was confirmed.

"You are the eldest son, so I will naturally follow you. The family is divided into two houses, the east and the west. You and Deming have one house and one house. They come and go separately. The three of them all set up houses and shops outside, and live separately."

When everyone heard it, the old lady had already thought about these things, so it must not have been a whim.After hearing this, the second lady was also determined. What she was most worried about was leaving the Chen residence and letting them go out alone.The branch mansion is the most suitable for her. It is separated from the big house and not affected by them, and it is still in the mansion. It is the best of both worlds.

The patriarch and several clan elders who came from Linqing saw that everyone had no objection, and took out the family separation agreement that the old lady had negotiated with them.Let everyone watch, the three concubines were naturally very pleasantly surprised to see the rich family property under their names.They exchanged glances with each other, and they were all very satisfied.

The eldest madam is eager to separate the family as soon as possible. Although the old madam is definitely following the eldest son, she will not be able to get rid of it for the rest of her life, but it is very good to be the master of the house by herself.

The rest is all about property. The eldest lady originally wanted to fight, but was interrupted by the elder, "I have no objection to the family property, so I will do as mother said."

The old master has said so, and the rest who have received benefits will not have any objections.In the next few days, the Chen family quickly separated under the auspices of several clan elders.

"How's Dong'er's investigation going?" Chen Jiao'er was used to Zhou Mingyuan who often visited her during this time.

"The housekeeper couldn't stand the punishment, so she was already recruited. It was Chen Zian who strangled her to death and let him bury her body." Zhou Mingyuan said lightly.

"It's a pity that Dong'er is just a slave." According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the master only punished twenty sticks for killing a slave.But most of the time the people don't sue, the officials don't investigate, and most of the time nothing happens.

If it wasn't for Dong'er's matter, and it happened to be inserted into Chen Desheng's matter, I'm afraid no one would take it seriously.

"Tomorrow's execution, I will ask someone to greet him well." Zhou Mingyuan looked at Chen Jiao'er, and asked as if thinking of something, "You asked Mr. Lu to visit Chen Zian?"

"No, when did it happen?"

"Oh, it's nothing, maybe he's curious to take a look." Zhou Mingyuan said again, "The Avalokitesvara in Chen Qiluo's room looks like the emperor has already got it, and the two paintings are the same size, but when they are put together, nothing can be seen. "

As it was about the will, the emperor was naturally very anxious, if he could get the will, it would be justified to force the king of Xian County to abdicate.Now, the see-saw between the two has become more and more serious, and even the ministers of the DPRK and China openly started to stand in line.This is not a good sign for the emperor.

Da Lin and his wife are dead, and a letter with different handwriting can't prove anything. Even if Li Dafeng testifies, he can easily deny it.This is now, it is more headache for Zhou Mingyuan.

"Actually, if we can find out that the death of the old man of the Chen family was related to him, then everything will be clear." For the old man of the Chen family, Chen Jiao'er is full of respect and apology.If the old man hadn't seen a clue and ordered the old man to correct it, the old man would not have gone mad and killed the old man.

"But it's been ten years since this matter happened, and the old man of the Chen family died of an old illness. I'm afraid it's hard to find out." It's not that Zhou Mingyuan didn't spend time on it, but he didn't find anything useful at all.

"This matter can only fall on the old lady." Chen Jiao'er was not in a hurry. The old lady knew the Chen family best. If she had doubts, she must have a way to investigate.

And Ms. Wang had already agreed with her that she would pay close attention to the old lady's movements. As long as she found something, she would naturally notify Chen Jiao'er as soon as possible.It would be best if the old lady was willing to kill relatives righteously. If she chose to conceal the truth, then she had no choice but to expose it herself.

Chen Zian was carried back to the Chen Mansion after being beaten with twenty sticks.The eldest lady cried and settled her son, but found no sign of her daughter-in-law, and said angrily, "My husband-in-law has such a big accident, she is good, hiding aside and watching jokes, how is this someone's daughter-in-law. The Du family is such a tutor ."

"The tutoring of the Du family is indeed not as good as that of the Chen family. At least the Du family did not raise a son born from a concubine, nor did they kill people at will, let alone incest." Du Huiniang was dressed in white, her waist was straight, and she brought the nanny and a few wives with her. The son stood in front of the door and said to the eldest lady.

"You, you, have you ever talked to your mother-in-law like this? Also, what are you wearing? Your husband-in-law is not dead yet, so you dress like this. You want to curse..."

"Since the mother-in-law doesn't want to see the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is leaving now, you just take care of yourself." After speaking, he led a group of people, carrying her dowry box, and went straight to the second gate.

"Stop, whoever told you to go, stop her quickly." Seeing her daughter-in-law leaving as soon as she said it, the eldest lady was so angry that she jumped up and shouted.

It's a pity that the family has just been separated, there is not enough manpower, coupled with the collapse of people's hearts, the eldest lady just watched Du Huiniang lead a group of people back to her mother's house.

"Old madam, they are a small Du family. Seeing that our master is in trouble, he dared to encourage his daughter to leave home. I have to get out of this tone. Take me into the palace to find Qiluo, and let her speak well in front of the emperor." Sentence. As long as you rectify the name of the master, those who slander the master will naturally restrain themselves. Even if the Du family begs me with their daughter again, they will not let her in."

The eldest lady babbled at the old lady, since she lost her temper with her last time, she treated her kindly after the separation, which made the eldest lady think that the old lady had finally figured it out, and she would still serve herself for the rest of her life, offending herself would be of no use to her. What good.

The old lady glanced at the eldest lady, stupidity is really a talent, it is not easy to be stupid for so many years until today.She opened the mouth and said, "Mingmei is already pregnant with the emperor's heir, and now she lives in the queen's palace to conceive. I heard that the emperor has drawn up an imperial edict, and when a prince or daughter is born, she will be a concubine."

After hearing these inexplicable words, the eldest lady took a long time to react, and she said angrily, "What is so good about that Ming Qiniang? I think she is obviously not as good as our Qiluo, and she can actually conceive an emperor's heir. Our Qiluo also She is also extremely favored by the emperor, and it will be a matter of time before she conceives an emperor's heir."

"Old lady, eldest lady, Aunt Yue in the old man's room has been bleeding profusely, as if she is going to have a miscarriage, should I call the doctor?" Mother Qin rushed to the back room and asked after receiving the letter from Mother Wang.

Ever since the incest scandal happened, Aunt Xing was resold by the eldest lady to Goulan. She wanted to sell Aunt Yue at the same time, but because she was pregnant with the elder's child, she had to stay temporarily.Because of what happened during this time, the Elder Master treated her very coldly, and the Elder Madam took the opportunity to make her eat less.

Hearing the news of the miscarriage at this moment, the eldest lady was too happy, she would not call the doctor, but because she was here with the old lady, she had to pretend to say, "Of course I have to call the doctor, mother, then I will go back and have a look." Where is Qiluo, you..."

"Go quickly." The old lady didn't bother to respond to her. At this time, she has the face to enter the palace, let alone enter the palace, even going out is unwilling.

Aunt Yue had a miscarriage as Da Furen wished, and she collapsed with blood, and soon passed away.Instead, the eldest lady had no way to vent, and secretly hated her for dying cheaply.

Zhou Mingyuan received a letter, and after getting the letter, he immediately rode to Lu's house.Everyone in the Lu family was used to this master coming to the mansion to report every day, so they opened the door directly.

Ai Lianxing was redeemed, and she sent such a letter back. Like Zhou Mingyuan, Chen Jiaoer saw a glimmer of light, but she didn't know how to prove it.

"Who is the one who redeemed Ai Lianxing?" Chen Jiao'er asked.

"Although we have turned several corners, there is no doubt that it is Lord Liu's family." Zhou Mingyuan said.

"Oh, this is an unexpected harvest." Since Liu Shiwen retired, the influence of the Liu family in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been minimal.It can be seen from the behavior of his son Liu Minzhi, that he can endure to make a move today, given time, he is definitely a character.

Zhou Mingyuan was going to fight head-to-head. Anyway, if he had more or less, he already had three or two testimonies, so he simply tied him up and tortured him directly.

"King Xianjun won't let us get it so easily. If we give up halfway, it will be even more difficult." Of course Zhou Mingyuan also knows this, but if he doesn't take action, this matter will drag on for a long time, and King Xianjun will put more pressure on him. I'm afraid we can only close the case hastily.

"Have you forgotten that you are from the Lu family? You can't use drugs on people in the capital. It depends on the target." Lu Huo'er's voice came from outside.

Pushing open the door, revealing Lu Huo'er's serious face, he said to Chen Jiao'er, "I've been lying on Chen Zian for half a month, and he won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life."

Chen Jiao'er and Zhou Mingyuan looked at each other. After she and Lu Huo'er entered the capital, they did promise the emperor that they would not use poison indiscriminately in the capital. Unexpectedly, Lu Huo'er broke the oath so soon.

"Teach me from Chen Desheng."

Within a few breaths of time, Lu Huo'er came and left, and Chen Jiao'er suddenly called out, "Cherry, go and call Daren over."

Daren came to him soon, and Chen Jiao'er asked, "Is Huo'er and Mr. Chang very close recently?"

"It's hard to say, but the two of them are indeed often together." Chen Daren was in the mansion and was sent by Chen Jiao'er to follow Lu Huo'er, so naturally he knew his whereabouts very well.
