Princess Fuyao

Chapter 56 Aunt Huo

The woman from the Yao family who can come and go in and out of the mansion at will, and her man, who can come in and out at will, were all brought here.

Let them see the bloody instruments of torture first, and then start the psychological offensive.

"Who ran errands for Aunt Huo to pass on the news? As long as we say it now, we will forget the past. If we use punishment later, we will not be so lucky. Not only will we suffer, men and children will not be able to escape."

The dozen or so women kneeling were very quiet.

"Bring it up!" The maids in Aunt Huo's yard were dragged up, obviously having been tortured, all of them were ragged and slumped on the ground like a pile of rags.

Fuyao pointed to one of them who was better dressed.To be precise, the clothes are of good quality, and they are the most tattered: "Tell me, among the people here, who has had any contact with Aunt Huo?"

The servant girl shook her head and turned her head to look over. All the women in that area were desperately trying to lower their heads.

"Raise your head!" Before Fuyao could finish his sentence, there was a clear crack of a whip, and a timid woman screamed and began to cry.

"she!"

The woman who was pointed out by the maid trembled all over: "I said, I said! I didn't do anything bad, I just wanted to marry my uncle's cousin to Aunt Huo's brother. Huh, it's been eight years since Aunt Huo refused. Well, I feel ashamed, I didn’t say anything just now, there’s nothing else—”

"Well, tell me everything you know about Aunt Huo's brother."

This woman is Mrs. Yao's daughter-in-law, and she wants to marry her cousin to Aunt Huo's brother. She also intends to curry favor with her master. It is nothing more than to let Aunt Huo understand that no matter how favored she is, she is nothing more than a slave. Fuyao guessed that it was Mrs. Yao's order to marry a slave's relative, so he didn't ask other questions.

"Aunt Huo's brother's face is very pale, pale and pale, just like a sick man. I heard that he is a scholar, anyway, he usually dresses like a literati. Aunt Huo lived for a year in the second year after she came, and then I don't know where he went. I came to live again for two years and only left a few months ago."

Fuyao took out the portrait of the master killer, and all the women shouted in unison: "It's him!"

"I saw it in Aunt Huo's room, so I brought it here, thinking it was hers..." Fuyao's expression was ambiguous, and the women shook their heads.

"No, madam's housekeeper is still very strict, there are no men three feet away in the inner courtyard."

"Isn't Madam chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall every day?"

"no!"……

These women are really worthless, they were frightened with severe punishment just now, and their mouths are as tight as clam shells. Fuyao is so rambling, mobilizing their gossip spirit, people talk about it one after another, about Aunt Huo The matter was also mentioned during the period, and Fuyao secretly wrote it down in his heart.

More than ten years ago, Yao Guangyu entered the Ministry of War. He took his whole family through Yingu Pass and ran into robbers. Seeing that he had worked hard for half his life and his family property was ruined, Yao Guangyu was heartbroken.

When the bandit leader was about to leave, he slapped his face with his hand when he saw his resentment: "At first glance, you are a corrupt official, and your life is about to die, and your eyes are still fixed on the money. This is God's arrangement for our brothers to do justice for the sky." Yes, otherwise how could I meet you and say, where is your other money hidden?"

Yao Guangyu was surprised and angry: "I gave you all my property!"

The robber didn't believe it, and took a knife to kill Yao Guangyu.

An old man couldn't see it, and jumped out to accuse the robbers: "You even searched your body, and you didn't let the women go. Anyway, this is still an official, and you don't even keep the most gentle face, it's so heartless!"

The robber was about to say something with his eyes wide open, when he suddenly heard a whistle from the mouth of the valley, and the officers and soldiers came.

The old man also had a couple of sons and daughters, who cried very sadly around their father. Yao Guangyu felt very uncomfortable, so he stepped forward to comfort them. When he learned that their hometown was hit by a disaster and they were going to visit relatives in the capital, he took the initiative to invite them to follow him first.

A pretty woman, dressed in filial piety, Aunt Huo was originally petite and exquisite, but wearing filial piety clothes made her look even brighter and more beautiful. During the next trip, Yao Guangyu was fascinated, and his eyes always fell on her.

Mrs. Yao was a jealous woman, she hated her husband so much that she planned to drive the siblings away.

That day, Yao Guangyu got up in the morning and looked around, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see. He immediately knew what happened, and sent a housekeeper to lead people to look for it, and finally let him find it. When he saw Aunt Huo Brother and sister, he made a request to that elder brother to take Aunt Huo as his concubine to take care of their siblings.

The white-faced master was embarrassed for a moment, and then agreed. He claimed that he wanted to travel all over the world, but he was worried that his sister would not be found. Now, with someone like Yao Guangyu taking care of him, he felt relieved.

Aunt Huo entered the Yao family in this way. She is the daughter of an innocent family, not a noble concubine, but a good concubine. Among Yao Guangyu's several concubines, she is considered to be the only one out there.Mrs. Yao hated her to the bone, and before she entered the capital, the two women met.

When the women talked about being the mistress, they were all secretive and their words were vague, but Fuyao could hear the meaning. Yao Guangyu and his wife were at odds. If Mrs. Yao didn't object, he might not be able to take a concubine. Determination.

Why is Mrs. Yao so taboo towards Aunt Huo?These two women, with their backs to everyone's eyes, are there any tricks?Aunt Huo's entry into Yao's Mansion must have been deliberate, but from what these women said, it seemed that Yao Guangyu and his wife were in charge of this matter, and she was passive.

The women digressed as they talked. When they talked about their parents' squabbles, Fuyao just listened quietly.

One of Yao Guangyu's aunts was his wife's companion. In order to curry favor with the master, when everyone was together, they pretended to miss and suddenly poured a cup of hot tea on Aunt Huo. It was summer and everyone was wearing thin clothes. If it succeeds, it will be enough for Aunt Huo to drink a pot.

Aunt Huo lightly waved the round fan in her hand, and the hot tea was thrown away. All the women in the room changed color, screaming and running away, but almost no one escaped the fate of being scalded, only Aunt Huo was safe and sound.

Fuyao also heard her servant girl talk about something. Yao Guangyu gave Aunt Huo a water-red jade bracelet, which was very rare. Mrs. Yao was furious, and she used an excuse to take a look. , Seeing that the bracelet was about to fall to the ground and fell to pieces, Aunt Huo hooked her toe and put the bracelet on the toe of her shoe. Without saying anything, she picked up the bracelet, put it on, and left.

After Yao Guangyu found out, he ignored his wife for a month, and since then, Mrs. Yao has also started to believe in Buddhism.

"If you say that Aunt Huo has some color, can't Madam find someone who can match her? I see that there are two waiters beside Madam, who are very good-looking." Fuyao interjected.

"Little master, you don't know that Aunt Huo runs outside, and the women around Madam are all grown up in the big family. How can she know her vicious tricks?"

"I can't stop at these, she has other abilities, otherwise the master wouldn't have thought of buying her such an expensive red jadeite bracelet." Fuyao asked again.

"Do you also know that the red jade bracelet is called Hong Fei? Aunt Huo said so before, and said that Madam is ignorant." Rong Hua, Aunt Huo's personal maid, said, listening with lowered eyes. Casual gossip.

"Why is Aunt Huo so favored?" Fuyao brought the topic back.

A group of women didn't speak. After a while, there was a periodical speculation: "Her brother probably did something for the master. I remember that the old man was very irritable in those days, and he beat my man hard for no reason. Aunt Huo's elder brother came, and I don't know what to say to the master. After two days of leaving, the master's mood was much better. Soon, Aunt Huo's elder brother came back, and the master invited him to eat and drink. My man said, the master even gave him a toast The bracelet I bought for Aunt Huo at that time."

Fuyao recognized this woman's man, who was a steward in the outer courtyard, and was quite powerful in front of Yao Guangyu.

Ronghua glanced at the woman, but she didn't see it.

"When did that happen?" Fuyao asked.

The woman blinked her eyes in thought, and muttered in her mouth: "It's been a long time, I gave birth to my second child that year, and it was only a few days after he was born. Nuo, it's been nine years. It was summer, in May."

Fuyao secretly wrote down the time.

They talked for a while, these women only knew that Aunt Huo was neat and quick, no one would have thought that she possessed martial arts and was not of an average level!

Fuyao kept his head down most of the time, the women were getting more and more courageous, Ronghua made frequent movements to intimidate them, these women gradually became silent, Fuyao sneered and waved for them to be taken away.

At night, Ronghua and a kitchen buyer wanted to strangle the woman who was talking, so that the guards outside could find out.

The two of them were brought out and sent to the execution room, where Mr. Hong personally interrogated them.
