Yuge was originally from a poor family, but he was talented and intelligent. He was appreciated by his mentor when he was young, and he loved his daughter and supported him frequently. From then on, he rose through the ranks. Although there were ups and downs, he finally retired and became a successful official. [ ] However,

Although he has experienced a lot in his life, when Gong Hongxiao, who was sent back by the Hou Mansion, told the whole story about the past, he couldn't help but be shocked and couldn't believe it.

How could someone else like him have a daughter-in-law who is so stupid and outrageous?!

"Old Master Mingjian, Mrs. Gu's wife is in the Hou Mansion, she can cover the sky with only one hand! My life is in their hands, how dare I not obey whatever they ask me to do!" Hongxiao knelt on the ground, holding a handful of

His nose burst into tears, "I failed to tell the truth, and the eldest lady was wronged. It's because I am cowardly and afraid of death. I hope the old lady will be merciful and spare me!"

In front of his parents, sister-in-law, and being exposed that his daughter was cheating on her husband, Mr. Yu's face turned green and red, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't even lift his head. Mrs. Yu beside him only stared at the red gauze on the ground.

His eyes were about to burst into flames, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous because of the presence of his parents-in-law. Mr. Yu peeked at his father's face and saw his chest rising and falling violently. He immediately said carefully: "It's all because of the unfilial piety that makes the father worry. It's a thousand mistakes."

Any mistakes are my son's fault. Please calm down my father. It's important to take care of yourself!"

Mr. Yu Ge glanced at his son and said sarcastically: "Now you know how to be filial. You dare to bribe even Taoist priests and turn black into white. I have embarrassed you and my wife all my life. You still can do it."

Well done, give me a bowl of arsenic, close your eyes early, and save you the trouble in your house!" Just as Gu Tingye expected, the Yu family has been in high and low officialdom for decades, and has long since become as smooth as an old fox;

Except for catastrophic catastrophes like treason and confiscation of the family that affected the whole family, few things could make him panic, and he was not so angry that his body was damaged. Now when he cursed people, he was even more angry.

Mr. Yu blushed so much that he didn't dare to say anything. He knelt down with a pop. When Mrs. Yu saw this, she gritted her teeth and knelt down. Seeing her elder brother and sister-in-law acting like this, the three and four others didn't even dare to stand, so they all knelt down.

Mr. Ge's face was calm, and he said to Gong Hongxiao, who was shaking like a sieve: "The Gu family wrote in a letter that they have delayed you over the years, and now they will return you and make arrangements for your marriage." He added.

He turned to Mrs. Yu Si and said, "From the fourth family, you can take care of this matter after we return to Dengzhou."

Mrs. Yu Si glanced at her eldest sister-in-law who was kneeling in front of her, and hesitated: "Father, this..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Yu raised her head with anger, glared at Gong Hongxiao, and cursed, "The world

How can such a thing be so cheap! This little bitch has evil intentions and has done us a lot of harm. Even beheading would be easy! How could she..."

Mr. Yu Ge slapped his palm on the case and looked at it coldly. Mr. Yu quickly pulled his wife's sleeve hard. Mrs. Yu turned her head. When she met her father-in-law's ice-like eyes, she immediately shuddered and did not dare to speak anymore.

.

Gong Hongxiao was so clever. When he saw this situation, he immediately kowtowed and burst into tears: "It's all my fault. Please don't get angry, old man, it's important for your health! I know I can't spare her. I just miss my mother's old age and frailty.

As a woman, how can I leave my mother alone? I just ask the old man to be merciful and let me live, so that I can take care of my mother until I grow old!"

Mr. Yu Ge slowly turned his head and said calmly: "Although you are the eldest in the house, you are a relative of the eldest wife's biological mother. You are neither a slave nor a maid. How can the Yu family deal with you? But it seems that you are in trouble now.

, I'm just relying on my elders to find a match for you." At this point, a strange and cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I was wronged when I asked you to marry Yanhong as a concubine.

It's because the Yu family can't help you."

The last two words were deliberately emphasized, with a clear meaning. Gong Hongxiao's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head in fear. She saw that the lights in the room were dim, and the old man's wrinkled face was as straight as the judge of Hell, which made people shudder.

She hurriedly lowered her head, no longer showing any signs of acting, she was really trembling, and thought to herself, this old man is so powerful, he actually saw it.

Yes, there were some things she did... on purpose.

When she first learned that Yu Yanhong was cheating on a man, she knew that it was very inappropriate and would definitely be a scandal that would ruin her reputation, but she did not stop it strongly. Later, Mrs. Gufu asked her to help defraud Mrs. Yu. Although there was coercion and inducement, she still

She also wanted to harm Mrs. Yu. But why was this?

Her father was a country scholar, and his family owned dozens of acres of thin farmland. The whole family was well-off and happy. As an only daughter, she suffered a lot of pain when her father held her on his lap. Unexpectedly, when her loving father died, her uncle wanted to seize the land.

She was forced to marry a widowed mother, but thanks to the cleverness of her loyal old servant, she asked her mother and daughter to pack up their belongings and escape overnight to join their relatives. After many twists and turns, they finally found themselves with Mrs. Yu. In order to have a better life, she tried her best to please her.

The eldest wife and Yan Hong try every possible means to flatter and flatter others.

But, what was the result? Once something happened, Mrs. Yu was worried that the water in Ningyuan Hou Mansion was deep and her precious daughter would not be able to cope with it, so she did not hesitate to ask her to follow her. It was not that she was noble and did not admire the wealth of the Hou Mansion, but that she was like the second man of the Gu family.

With such a reputation, what good could she get? Besides... Hongxiao turned her head slightly, looked at the third master and third wife who were kneeling in front of her on the right, and looked away sadly.

Deep down in her heart, she had already had other expectations.

She is an orphan who lives in the care of others, and he is an unappreciated concubine with a third wife. They are a young man and a woman who are in love with each other.

That day, at dusk, he came to see her sweating profusely. He was so happy that he didn't even know that his hair had come loose. He told her with infinite joy that the third wife had noticed their signs, even though she hinted that she wanted to

They avoid suspicion, but they are not unwilling. They are just afraid of rashly proposing it and disturbing the eldest lady. As long as the eldest lady is willing to say the first thing, the third wife will help them.

At that time, she was as happy as in a dream; she loved the Yu family so much. Most of the men in the Yu family were of good character and had no bad habits. The women of the Yu family, from the old lady to the third and fourth wives, were all kind-hearted and tolerant, and they never treated her with kindness.

She was suspicious of being an orphan. She made up her mind at that time. If she could get what she wanted, she would do more to please her elders, do some errands in the future, pick up her mother, and live a good life as a family.

It's a pity... She will never forget the look on Mrs. Yu's face at that time, so selfish and decisive, so natural. She couldn't understand this woman better. In the face of her own interests, any affection is fake. She

No matter how much she begged, it was in vain. She said no more, just smiled mechanically, promised to take good care of Yu Yanhong, and took a lot of money from the eldest lady.

When the Yan Hong Incident happened that year, she hurriedly went to the Yu Mansion for help, and she happened to hear about it. There was a close friend from Yu Ge's classmate who was over sixty years old, but only had a granddaughter at his knees. Seeing that the cigarettes were about to be cut off, she saw that the Yu family had prosperous sons and grandsons, so she sincerely

She opened her mouth and begged for her son-in-law. After some discussion, the father of the Yu family decided on the concubine for the third room. By the time she learned about it, he had already left Qiongzhou and moved into his adopted son-in-law's family.

At that time, she suddenly felt as if she was dead. She no longer bothered to care about the Gu family or the Yu family.

Maybe, we can never meet each other again in this life; that's okay, that's okay.

Hongxiao fell into a daze of memories. She had no idea what Mr. Yu Ge said. She only knew that there were women on both sides of her helping her up and dragging her out. The moon and stars were sparse outside, and the night was as bright as day. A breath of cool air came in.

A sudden thought came to her chest, and she suddenly woke up. She touched the inside of her skirt, and there was a hidden pocket there, which contained three or four small silver notes that she had saved, and the rest of her gold and silver jewelry were scattered in pieces. She had already

Sending it to my mother secretly.

She stretched out her hand and pressed her chest again. There was a five hundred taels of silver note there, which Mrs. Gu Hou gave her when she came out today. (·~)

"You are flexible and capable. No matter what God has wronged you, you have never been polite." There was a strange compassion in the eyes of the young and beautiful Madam Hou, "You can take this silver and treat me as a hypocrite.

Even if I chase you out, I'll sell you a good one. I only want to give you one sentence: after all the things you did yesterday, such as death, just live a good life in the future."

Hong Xiao couldn't tell the difference between sadness and happiness, and stumbled out in a daze.

After she left, the old woman who was guarding the door of the house closed the door tightly again. There were several servants standing far around, leaving only the Yu family inside. "You guys get up first." Old Yu Ge pointed.

He pointed out that his voice was not serious, but no one dared to disobey. The three daughters-in-law of the Yu family stood up quietly, leaving only the three daughters-in-law of the Yu family on the ground.

Old Yu Ge said: "I will leave the Gong family to you. Go to the countryside, find a down-to-earth family, and tell her to live a peaceful life. You must do things quickly." The fourth wife bowed her head and bowed her hands, saying respectfully.

: "If you listen to your father's instructions, your wife will do her best."

Over the years, the wives have become accustomed to the innocent mother-in-law who does not care about worldly affairs and the tough and powerful all-powerful father-in-law. From the day they got married, the fourth wife reported matters directly to Mr. Yu Ge, so she responded very smoothly.

Mrs. Yu was unhappy and couldn't help but objected again: "Our family has provided her with food and drink for so many years, but she has raised a white-eyed wolf! Dad, this is too cheap for that bitch! Think about it again..."

"Shut up!" Mr. Yu shouted violently, immediately blocking the eldest wife's words, "As long as dad is here, you have the right to speak! You don't understand any rules, and you don't look at your brothers and sisters. How can you grow up?"

Sister-in-law’s!”

The eldest wife's eardrums were buzzing and she looked at her husband in surprise. He had never been so cruel to her. [ ]

The third wife on the side curled her lips and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It makes sense for dad to do this. This matter of Yanhong's niece will be embarrassing wherever she goes. The Gu family is kind and has already wiped it clean, but

Sister-in-law, you come here like this."

She spoke in a gentle manner, but her words concealed harshness, "Can the Gu family not be more careful? If one day you get into the mood again and start talking about the injustice of your niece's death, asking for compensation, asking for this or that, wouldn't Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?

Do you suffer the consequences of being mute? You can’t let Gu Hou have the whole world clamoring that his wife stole someone else. So, you have to keep this kid Hong Xiao.”

When this incident didn't happen, everything was vague; but once it happened, as the only remaining witness, Hong Xiao could not die.

First of all, she cannot stay in the Gu family, otherwise in the future, it will be suspected that the Gu family forced a confession, which is not enough to win people's trust. Therefore, the Yu family can only let the Yu family take her back. Now, for fear of being suspected of repudiation, the Yu family not only

Hongxiao cannot be allowed to die. On the contrary, in order to show magnanimity, the Yu family must let Hongxiao live a good life, and everything will be natural and frank.

Mrs. Yu still hasn't figured out such a simple thing and still has the nerve to lose her temper.

"Just now, your eldest brother praised your younger siblings for being polite, but you talk to your eldest sister-in-law like this?!"

In fact, Mrs. Yu didn't understand much, but this did not prevent her from going crazy. She raised her eyebrows and opened fire immediately. The third wife was not timid at all, her face did not change at all, she just said lightly: "Look what sister-in-law said.

Yes, I'm worried. As long as there is some news about Yanhong's niece, will the girls from our Yu family still be human beings?"

Mrs. Yu suddenly lost her voice like an engine that had stalled.

The third wife's words were like needles pricking her flesh, it was obviously painful to her heart, but not even a drop of blood was seen. She still said softly and softly: "Don't talk about Yanrong, Yanqing; it's just the married Yanran, Yanqiao, what should I do with them?

Establishing a foothold in the husband's family? I said, sister-in-law, don't take it seriously. Even though Yanyu's niece is still young now, if people know that her biological sister has done this, how will she talk about her husband's family in the future? "

Mrs. Yu was speechless. She was frightened when she thought that this matter would involve her beloved little daughter. As soon as she finished speaking, the third wife respectfully took a step back and stood next to her husband.

Don't say another word.

Mr. Yu Ge sighed slightly, asking for this eldest daughter-in-law was really his failure in life. He had evil intentions and was stupid. When he first heard about this, he didn't say anything for a while, and the world was spinning for a while.

Angry, rather unbelievable.

Considering how shrewd he has been all his life, how could there be such a gullible and arrogant fool in his family!

He and his old wife have four children in total. Except for the first one who died in infancy, the other three have grown up, married and had children.

The fourth is indifferent by nature, and he likes calligraphy and painting on silk and bamboo. His economic and official career is as far away as the road to the west. Fortunately, the fourth daughter-in-law can still manage the family. The third is smart and talented, but he doesn’t know where he learned the habits of a celebrity, and he despises those who seek fame.

, even the lice on his body are a bit elegant and noble; only Chang, who inherited the enterprising spirit in his blood, has high ambitions and limited talents.

The flow of goods.

Mr. Yu Ge is accustomed to the Taoist method of letting go, and he knows that being an official also requires "talent". Some people can teach it well, but some people can't teach it in vain. Since they are not this material, he will not force it.

If God is wise and allows the grandchildren to produce two talented people, then the Yu family will be prosperous. Otherwise, it will still be peaceful and blessed. Anyway, with their own shadow and official status, their children and grandchildren can live a leisurely and wealthy life in their hometown.

There are still days.

"Thousands of miles of river embankments were destroyed by ant nests; the management of a family lies in the grandchildren and is rooted in the family." Mr. Yu Ge leaned on the Taishi chair, his figure getting older and older, and sighed, "If you educate your children well every day, you can shape their character.
