Chapter 4 The Patriarch is Wise

Chapter 4 The wise head of the family

Shangguan Yuan is not only handsome in appearance, but also tall and strong.

It seems very safe.

In her previous life, she was young and ignorant, and was deceived by this appearance, so she chose him as her husband.

Later my intestines turned green.

Now he actually broke into her bedroom and tried to take advantage of her.

Too mean!

Angrily, she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him, chasing him away, and finally kicked him out.

She was in a daze, but when Shangguan Yuan suddenly frightened her, her mind suddenly became clearer.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, he shamelessly came in again!

"I'm just helping your brother carry the medicine. I have no other meaning. He is afraid that the medicine will hurt you, so he went to find candied fruits for you. The weather is cold. If I stand outside, the medicine will be cold in a short time. I have no choice.

Just trespassing."

Shangguan Yuan looked around and found that there was only a dressing table in the room that could hold a bowl, so he put down the medicine and politely left.

At this time, Zhixuan ran back, holding a bag of candied fruits in his hand and standing at the door talking to Shangguan Yuan.

Only then did she realize that Shangguan Yuan had been wronged.

But so what? It is against etiquette for a foreign man to break into a woman’s bedroom and he should be scolded! He should be kicked out!

She told Zhixuan these rules.

But the little guy always talked about Shangguan's brother, saying good things about him, and stubbornly expressed his intention to bring her and Shangguan Yuan together.

Her chest was so angry that she covered herself with the quilt and fell asleep again without realizing it.

Suddenly, a basin of cold water was poured on her head, waking her up.

She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a small figure flashing through the crack of the door holding a wooden basin.

The people in Liu's house actually sent the little brat An Zhihui to deal with her. They were so scheming.

What would happen to a five-year-old ignorant child even if she caught him and brought him in front of An Tai?

It was just a few scoldings for being naughty and ignorant.

What's more, he hasn't been caught yet.

She had planned to suffer a loss by being mute, but she didn't expect that the stove was also extinguished and even the charcoal in the room was stolen.

It's winter, the pillows and bedding are all wet, and there's no charcoal fire for cooking, so it's almost impossible to survive!

When she was getting angry, she suddenly found half an adult's footprints on the edge of the bamboo basket containing charcoal.

It was stamped on by stepping on the carbon ash that fell on the ground.

It turned out that the crime was committed by a premeditated gang.

She wanted to tell An Tai about the matter and ask them to go to each other's house to deal with it.

Then I thought about it, this is not Anhou Mansion.

An Tai's style of handling housework is to reduce major matters to trivial matters, and at most he would scold them lightly.

Moreover, the size of the footprints was almost the same as hers, so if she really tried to file a complaint, it might be self-defeating.

After all, she almost killed An Tai a while ago.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't think of a good way, so I had to endure it for now.

Poems and songs were what she was good at. In her previous life, her maids had done it for her in house fights. She had never worried about it at all, and she didn't know how to worry about it.

She looked out the window and estimated that it was around midnight and the kitchen should be starting to light a fire for cooking.

So, dragging the sick body, he went there in embarrassment to bake pillows and bedding.

No matter how bad she is, she is still the eldest lady of the family. The woman in the kitchen has some complaints but does not dare to embarrass her.

An Qianya and others came to see her excitement, covering their mouths and giggling outside the kitchen.

She suppressed her anger and pretended to be indifferent, calm and calm.

An Qianya was not happy, so she drove An Zhihui to provoke her.

"Second sister, you are so old and you still wet the bed?"

She couldn't help laughing, "Oh, it turns out you are still wetting the bed. No wonder my aunt always spanks you."

An Zhihui heard the mothers-in-law laughing at him and stamped his feet angrily, dragging firewood branches on the ground to stop them from beating them.

An Qianwen hurried in, kicked her brother out, pretended to sit next to her, and helped her bake the quilt.

"Second sister is really duplicitous. She refuses openly, but secretly asks brother Zhixuan to win over her, so that she wants to be welcomed but refuses. A well-behaved concubine like us can't think of such a subtle trick.

A dumb person can only eat Coptis chinensis."

"Coptis chinensis tastes bitter, but it can clear away heat and detoxify. My sister talks about neither yin nor yang. I think she has too much evil fire in her heart, so she should eat more!"

"The water and soil in the capital are really nurturing. My second sister came here and her speech became even smarter. However, being beautiful is not as good as being beautiful. Having a secret meeting with an outsider in the boudoir is such a disgrace to the family. My father will never do it."

It will not be tolerated.”

She glanced at An Qianwen's sullen back, and her heart felt like drawing water from a bucket.

The past revenge has not yet been avenged, but someone else's next move is about to happen.

What should I do?

Her brain was very dizzy, and her coughing worsened after being poured cold water on her.

The bedding was so wet that she couldn't do it for a while. The mothers-in-law disliked her for sitting under the stove and hindering her cooking, and they were even more afraid of being infected.

I had no choice but to send a basket of charcoal to her house to help her relight the stove.

I don't know what happened to the house, it was in a mess.

A thoughtful person threw the clothes and bellyband in her cupboard beside the couch. She didn't know what she wanted to express.

While she was cleaning up, An Tai came in, surrounded by the Liu family, saying that she had seduced her husband and ruined the family tradition.

An Tai saw the mess inside, and before she could explain, he slapped her in the air.

She was suddenly frightened and coughed and sneezed all at once, and it actually splashed on An Tai's face.

It’s over, you’ve caused trouble!

She hurriedly found a handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose. She accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhixuan running towards her in a hurry. In her haste, she fell to the ground limply and pretended to be fainted.

When Zhixuan came in and called her several times, he slowly opened his eyes.

In her previous life, she grew up in a medicine jar and looked weak. No matter how she looked like her, no one else could tell.

The most important point is that she is really a patient now.

And this is what she wanted to emphasize by doing this.

Zhixuan rubbed his eyes to clarify the whole story and sobbed:

"Today the academy is closed. Brother Shangguan took me to play for the whole day. He is in the front hall at the moment. If dad doesn't believe me, you can call him to confront him."

"If you still confront me about something like this, are you out of your mind?"

Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and poked Zhixuan's forehead.

Zhixuan grabbed her hand and was about to bite it, but An Qianya pushed her hard and threw her to the ground. She happened to knock over a basket of wet bedding on the ground.

An Tai immediately discovered the clues. He had been a censor for more than ten years and had vindicated countless unjust, false and wrong cases, but he was blinded by the trick of the woman in the backyard.

He touched the wet bedding and smelled a strong smell of fireworks. He found water on the edge of the couch and the stove, and he had already guessed it.

He looked around again and found that there was a woman in the house who didn't want to do anything, so he brought her forward to ask questions, and then examined the mud-like ashes she took out.

"Why are the ashes like this?"

"It looks like it has been splashed with water."

What An Tai wants is the mother-in-law's words.

Qianru was a patient who needed charcoal. It was impossible for her to put out the stove by herself and pour water on her bed. Besides, she was in a mess and her long hair was not dry yet.

"I'll count to three and stand up and explain myself. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish you."

The entire Liu family did not take An Tai's words seriously at all and stood aside with expressions unchanged.

According to their understanding of An Tai, things like this would end up being nothing more than nothing, after all, they left no evidence of guilt.

But they didn't expect that An Tai was a master in handling cases and was as meticulous as a hair.

Not only did he find half a footprint printed on the ash, but he also found a fingerprint printed on the edge of the door.

The Liu family is used to being arrogant, and they don't even deal with the traces of bad things they do.

There was charcoal ash remaining on An Qianya's cuffs and shoe uppers. The half-footprints on the charcoal ash on the ground matched her feet, and the finger prints on the edge of the door were exactly the same as hers.

"Dad, the second sister and the eldest sister are about the same height, and their feet are the same size."

An Qianwen calmly picked off one of her shoes to compare the footprints on the charcoal ash, and said that the charcoal ash on An Qianya's body was accidentally rubbed on when she added a stove in her house.

This move not only cleared An Qianya clean, but also cast suspicion on her.

The Liu family is really something to be reckoned with!

An Qianru was secretly glad that she was sensible and did not file a lawsuit with such trivial evidence from the beginning, otherwise she would definitely be the one to suffer.

But by thinking this way, she obviously underestimated the master's abilities.

You need water to splash people, and the water must be taken from the well.

The water for the entire house comes from the well in the kitchen yard, which winds its way to Qianru, hundreds of meters away. It is impossible that no one will see the person fetching water.

An Tai was determined to straighten the family tradition and find out the evildoers, so he called for everyone to gather everyone in the house.

Mrs. Liu didn't want to cause too much embarrassment, so she had no choice but to push her youngest son Zhihui out to take the blame.

Unexpectedly, An Tai got real and used a stick.

However, Zhihui was still young and had not experienced anything. He thought that his mother and sister did not care for him anymore, so he reluctantly surrendered them together.

"I've tried cases all my life, but I still can't cure you bastards?"

For the first time, An Tai took action on the Liu family's entire house, and even took away the Liu family's housekeeping rights and gave them to Qianru.

She wanted it, but she was still ill and couldn't even take care of herself. How could she care for so many people?

"Dad, the matter isn't too big. How about I let my aunt take care of it?"

"You can take care of it if you are asked to do so. If you can't take care of it, I will find another person to take care of it."

When Mrs. Liu saw that An Tai wanted to renew her string, she couldn't bear the blow and fainted.
