Chapter 29 Punishment(1/2)
Cui Zhen and Cui Wei walked into the house, and everyone except Mrs. Lin retreated.
Cui Zhen raised his eyes: "My mother Yu was sent to the clan by me."
This sentence has already shown Cui Zhen’s attitude.
Mrs. Lin's face was full of shock: "You...how could you do this?" She thought at least Brother Zhen could hear her talk about the causes and consequences before making a decision.
Cui Zhen's face was deep: "The tomb of great-grandfather was blown up. Those people tried to ignite the coffin, but fortunately they did not succeed, but the sacrificial hall in front was destroyed. The pens, plaques and other items left by the ancestors of the Cui family in the sacrificial hall were burned. If such a big thing happened, how would they control the children of the clan in the future?"
Mrs. Lin held her hand tightly.
Cui Zhen said: "You are my mother. The elders in the clan will not blame you too much. But from now on, you don't need to interfere in the tribe's affairs, and you don't need to care about the inner house anymore. I will ask someone to tell Zhang and let Zhang take care of the family."
Mrs. Lin found it ridiculous: "Who has been sick in bed for most of the year, can she but the housekeeper?"
"How can I know if I don't try it?" Cui Zhen's voice was stiff. "Since Zhang got married, he has never been in charge of the gift. The one I got married was the mistress of the family. If this matter is not done well and my mother still has to worry about it, she will be of no use at home."
Cui Zhen didn't want to get entangled in this matter anymore: "Mom Yu will not come back, please serve me if you change someone else!"
"Brother Zhen," Mrs. Lin saw Cui Zhen getting up and leaving, and she stopped her anxiously, "Mother is not for you. She has protected your brothers since your father passed away. When you come back to the military camp, you are covered in wounds. Mother is crying and feeding you medicine. You comforted your mother and said, "I won't be so seriously injured next time. Give you some time, and you can protect our family and repay your mother's kindness for raising her."
Mother doesn’t need your reward, mother just wants you to be happy.”
Mrs. Lin's tears flowed from her eyes: "When my mother saw you sitting there holding the child's body, her heart was like a knife. As long as you can keep your descendants, let alone be blamed by the tribe, even if you go up to the mountain of swords, your mother is willing. My mother is so old, don't want to enjoy family life?
Not to mention your two wives, Zhou, it was a disaster star. It almost caused trouble to our family before you even passed the door. Zhang was a medicine jar. If it could be used, his mother would not interfere in this.
My mother is determined to overcome all obstacles for you, but she will be exploited. Now even the Marquis of Huaiyuan dares to step on her mother."
Cui Zhen frowned slightly when he heard this: "Mother is going to find aunt?"
Mrs. Lin's face was full of resentment: "Sisters of the same clan still stand by and watch when they encounter such a thing. Now that you have sent Mom Yu to the clan, I have confirmed my fault. I wonder how many people will be waiting to laugh at me."
Cui Zhen's eyes were slightly closed: "You are my mother. As long as you are at home to maintain your birthday, no one dares to ridicule you, but most of the money for repairing the ancestral graves must be paid out from your room, and I will make up for the rest.
The clan will ask elders to come to the ancestral home. The fourth brother is in the prison. The fourth sister-in-law and you should avoid suspicion. Leave the affairs in the yard to the clan members."
Mrs. Lin felt depressed. Not only did she not let her housekeeper, but she also wanted her to get the money?
After she said so much, Brother Zhen was still so heartless. This was very similar to his grandfather. I didn’t expect that the suffering she suffered as a wife back then would have to do it again as the grandma.
Cui Zhen said: "Don't blame your aunt. I think she did nothing wrong. I didn't expect that at the critical moment, my aunt still had this thought. No wonder there has been no trouble in the Huaiyuan Marquis' Mansion over the years." If someone controls the Cui family's inner house like this, he will feel at ease.
Mrs. Lin felt stuffy in her chest. What does this mean? Is she not as good as a clan girl?
Cui Zhen stood up and said, "Mother wants to make people do things, and he will tell me."
After saying that, Cui Zhen turned around and walked out of the yard.
Mrs. Lin waited until Cui Zhen's figure disappeared, and then looked at Cui Wei: "He is trying to imprison me, don't you just watch it?"
Cui Wei lowered his head and did not dare to look at his mother's face: "Mother shouldn't have asked someone to go to the ancestral grave to make trouble. We have carefully looked at it. The gunpowder used by the thief was placed in the objects that his mother asked him to carry to the ancestral grave. Now that something happened, the elder brother would have to settle it."
Mrs. Lin's eyes were red: "How cruel he is. If he wants to send his mother this way, where is my brother Zhen? He is no longer my caring child."
Mrs. Lin said as she collapsed in the chair and started crying.
Cui Wei hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother is going to comfort his tribe. After a while, everyone will forget about this matter. You are the Grandmaster of the Marquis's Mansion. You can leave the gifts to your sister-in-law, which is also a matter of freedom."
When Mrs. Lin heard this, her arm raised and hit Cui Wei on the face, but she didn't have time to feel sorry for her younger son. She sternly said: "You have not gotten married yet, so I will hand over the family. Which good daughter of the family is willing to marry? I am sincere in preparing the betrothal gift for you. Then Zhang will prepare the betrothal gift for you. Who knows that she will not care about her parents' home?
Your elder brother refuses to listen to me. If you inherit the title and become a family member, you will treat your mother like this?"
Cui Wei's face suddenly changed: "How can my mother say such things? I don't know how much my brother has paid for the Cui family? Don't let my brother hurt me."
Mrs. Lin also knew that she had lost her words, but when she thought of the majesty that Mother Yu and her lost, she felt unbearable.
After Cui Wei said that, he bowed and said, "Mom, take a good rest!" He also turned around and left the house.
Bai's mother came in and patted Mrs. Lin's back, hoping to give her some comfort.
"Look, it's all fulfilled," said Mrs. Lin, "The immortal appeared in my dreams, and the things that warned me were fulfilled one by one.
I had just changed the Geng Tie with the Zhou family, but at night I dreamed that the immortals would advise me that the Zhou family would bring disaster to our family. Sure enough, the eldest princess, the big tree fell.
The immortal also showed his spirit and said that there was something wrong with the tomb of Zhou, which caused the Cui family and my birthday. I immediately looked for someone to see him, but it still couldn't be avoided.
In the future, when I wait a hundred years later, when I see that Zhou, I will definitely settle the accounts with her."
As soon as Mrs. Lin finished speaking, the manager came to report again: "Mrs. Mrs. Wednesday and Miss Tuesday are here."
Mrs. Lin was even more angry. If Brother Zhen did not hand over Yu's mother to the clan, it might be useful if the Zhou family came, and now it will only cause trouble for her.
What kind of evil did she do? Zhou Rujun's grave was so good, but she was embarrassed and paid for money. Zhou Rujun and Zhou family were like a fly stuck in her throat, making her feel disgusted.
Mrs. Lin said, "I haven't seen you... tell them I'm dead."
At the door of Cui's house.
Zhou Ruzhang lifted the curtain and looked at the Cui family. When something happened to the Cui family, she and her mother came to comfort Mrs. Lin. The most important thing was to clear the "injustice" for Mrs. Lin.
She heard some bad rumors, saying that Mrs. Lin returned to the clan because of the elder sister's grave. Now that something happened to the Cui family's ancestral grave, everyone speculated whether it was related to this matter. If the elder sister's family appeared in the Cui family, she would get along very well with Mrs. Lin, and those rumors would be self-defeating.
Zhou Ruzhang felt that he was very smart and thought of the joint so quickly.
"Madam and Miss, go back," said the manager of the Cui family. "Madam is uncomfortable and will not see guests today."
Zhou Ruzhang's smile froze on his face, and he watched the Cui family door close in front of her. She seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water from head to toe. Her nose felt sore and tears almost fell.
Mrs. Lin disappeared from her obviously because of Zhou Rujun.
Why did Zhou Rujun still control her life for five years after she died? Do you have to make her lose a good marriage before she could give up?
"Mother," Zhou Ruzhang threw herself into Mrs. Zhou San's arms, "I hate Zhou Rujun, why didn't she die earlier? The prince used to send many gifts every year because of my life-saving grace. It happened to her. The prince's gifts were getting fewer and fewer. Why did she hate it so much?"
Mrs. Zhou San covered her daughter's mouth tightly: "Don't talk nonsense, let's hear it, how do you get married?"
Zhou Ruzhang started crying with sobs.
...
Gu Mingzhu stared at her mother and ate a lot of food, then stood up from Jinwu with satisfaction, and asked Baotong to play with bamboo dragonflies in the yard.
Mrs. Lin stroked her increasingly bulging belly, and her face was full of smiles. If the master was here, it would be perfect. Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin opened the letter from Beijing again.
The master asked her how she was and asked the Gu clan members to pick her up to Fenyang. She knew that the master had no intention of agreeing to come to Shanxi. On the surface, he asked her to come to the Cui family for information, but in fact he wanted to send her back to his parents' home in Shaanxi. The master was afraid that he would tell her directly, so he refused to agree, so he made such a arrangement.
Otherwise, why would she be asked to go to Fenyang again? Fenyang is so close to the ferry to Shaanxi. If there is any disturbance, she will be able to take a boat to Shaanxi.
From the beginning, she thought this was not simple. Now it seems that this is true. The master was afraid that he would not be able to protect her and her two children, so he wanted the Lin clan to protect them, and he really thought about them carefully.
But she really wants to stay in Taiyuan Mansion, at least she can feel the turmoil at the first time.
In short, no matter who comes to pick her up, she will not leave. The only thing she is worried about is Zhuzhu. At the critical moment, she will send Zhuzhu away and ask her parents' family to take good care of Zhuzhu.
"Madam, Dingning Marquis is here."
Mrs. Lin was stunned. At this time, the Cui family was in chaos. How could Dingning Hou come here?
Gu Mingzhu looked at Cui Zhen standing on the corridor. Cui Zhen seemed to be staring at the bamboo dragonfly in her hand. She was wondering why this person suddenly came to visit? Did he notice something?
"Marty."
The manager came forward to invite him, and Cui Zhen then withdrew his eyes. Today's mother's words reminded him that it was probably not that simple for Marquis Huaiyuan to lose his war horse in Shanxi. Will Marquis Huaiyuan know something and deliberately lead the court's gaze to Shanxi. The things in Shanxi are impossible to cover up, so someone came up with Li Daitaozun's plan to let those people take the blame.
At this time, he must come to the Gu family to ask clearly.
Cui Zhen sat on the chair.
Mrs. Lin said first: "How is the situation in the Cui family's ancestral tomb?"
Cui Zhen said: "It didn't cause much trouble."
Mrs. Lin nodded: "That's good."
The ancestral tomb was burned to the clan's elders, which seemed to be the sky falling, but he knew that the real sky was not in the ancestral tomb but in front of him.
"Auntie, actually the burning of the Cui family's ancestral tomb is related to the case of the thieves," Cui Zhen looked at Mrs. Lin, "The case in Shanxi is beginning to be inconspicuous. It has been different since my uncle lost his war horse. Does my uncle know anything? Do you have any special words to tell you?"
Mrs. Lin frowned slightly.
Cui Zhen said: "Don't hide it anymore."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lin finally sighed: "My marquis didn't say anything, but I know that this case may not be as easy as everyone's words. The master intends to send me back to his parents' home, and I really don't know the rest."
Cui Zhen looked at Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin's expression naturally didn't seem to be hiding anything.
Cui Zhen took a sip of tea: "Didn't your aunt meet Wei Yuanchen in Taiyuan Prefecture?"
Mrs. Lin was stunned. Cui Zhen had already talked about Wei Yuanchen last time. She knew that Wei Yuanchen came to Taiyuan to investigate the master's case, but...
Mrs. Lin said: "Third Wei San has never visited us."
Cui Zhen remained silent: "Wei Yuanchen hasn't gone to the government office yet, but he must have known about Zhuzhu's affairs in Jinta Temple. In order to find clues, he should come to ask his aunt for questions."
Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Zhen with a little unhappy expression. She said she had never seen her before. Cui Zhen asked again and again if she didn't believe her anymore?
Mrs. Lin's tone became more cold than just now: "We lived in the Cui family before. After moving back, we rarely went out at home with Zhuzhu. No Wei family has ever come to send a post."
She and Zhuzhu had never seen the Wei family. Mrs. Lin was sure of this. So far, she didn't even know what Master Wei looked like, so there was no connection between her.
Cui Zhen frowned. Did he guess wrong? The Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, which was directly related to this case, did not join forces with Wei Yuanchen, who investigated the case. Apart from Mrs. Lin, no one in the Gu family could interact with Wei Yuanchen.
Cui Zhen put down the teacup in his hand and stood up: "Now that even the Cui family has been involved in this case, so my aunt should be more careful. If you hear the wind or have any news, please come and tell me."
