The old lady of the Su family stood up as she slapped the case, her face turned pale and she was shaking with anger.
"Come on, someone, beat me out with a stick."
"Are you trying to take people's lives lightly again? Beating, beating, today for the sake of my sister, I don't even want to take my life."
"Shut up!"
An angry shout came from under the red hijab. Lu Yu'er felt ashamed and angry. On her wedding day, her face was wiped three times. She had known that the fourth master of the Su family was a bit messy, but she didn't want to mess up to this level.
.
Pulling off the red hijab, she raised her hand and slapped Su Jinyu. Su Jinyu was stunned, not by the stinging pain on the slap, but by the extremely ugly and old face under the red hijab.
"Su Jinyu, I am not getting married today."
Now, Su Jinyu wished that these words would come true, but the three books and six rites, the heaven and the earth had bowed, and he was wailing in his heart, knowing that even if Lu Yuer was willing to regret the marriage, it was already a cooked rice, and from now on, he would have to do it.
I became husband and wife with this stinky bitch.
With a flick of her head, Lu Yu'er strode towards the door. The Su family's face was completely humiliated. No one dared to stop her, just because they saw her true appearance. Everyone knew who the eighth aunt said the Lu family was.
Miss, she is the sister whom Mr. Tobe loves and cherishes as his treasure.
Only Xu Xiuyi stamped her feet in annoyance, showing a look of anxiety, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lu Yu'er: "Fourth brother and sister, wait a minute."
Although Lu Yu'er was angry, she was not completely angry with Su Jinyu. She had even thought of filling someone's house, which showed that as long as a man was willing to marry her, she would be willing to do so.
What's more, when the hijab was lifted, the face of Su Jinyu, a handsome young man, really moved her heart.
She left angrily because she felt it was too embarrassing that such a farce happened on her wedding day. She had always been arrogant and arrogant, so there was no way she could swallow her anger. She even wanted to give Su Jinyu a slap in the face, even if she pretended to do so.
Walk away in anger.
She hoped that the Su family would come to persuade her, otherwise if she really went back, she would have to lose face to her parents' family.
Now, Xu Xiuyi came up, just as she wished, she looked at Xu Xiuyi pretending to be aggrieved, and called her third sister-in-law, which was not awkward at all, even though she was old enough to be Xu Xiuyi's mother.
"Third sister-in-law, woo woo woo."
She was about to cry, her tears half real and half false.
Xu Xiuyi whispered a few words in her ear, and she nodded. Xu Xiuyi asked Jin Yu to take her to the new house to rest. After exhaling, she walked into the hall, looked at Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law, and said: "You two, I
If I had known my temperament, one would be lazy and the other would be sarcastic. My maid is in the street.
I saw how you treated Tai Lian above. The old lady gave Tai Lian the resettlement fee. Don’t let you two take it away. My fourth master is young and has nothing to do. If he does something wrong, our Su family is willing to take responsibility. There is no such thing as
I planned to drive Tai Lian away, but Tai Lian said she was homesick, so she asked her to go back and stay for a few days."
"That's not what you said just now."
"That's because you are acting like hooligans. Let me tell you now, Tai Lian and our Su Mansion are going to take Tai Lian back, but there are rules. There is no rule in our Su Mansion that the first wife will take a concubine first.
When I get married, I will naturally take Tai Lian back to be my aunt."
"I……"
"Tai Lian must have told you earlier that you two deliberately chose this day to cause trouble, just to extort money. Do you know how many years you will be sentenced to for extorting money?"
The couple, who were still arrogant at first, suddenly withered like eggplants beaten by frost.
He hesitated and had no confidence in his words, and it seemed that he had been told what he meant. The guests who had been sighing before were now waiting to see how the third mistress of the Su family would deal with these two people.
Tai Lian's brother is still talking hard: "Who said we are here to extort money? We are here to seek justice. You said you would accept our Tai Lian as your aunt, okay, now, aren't we married to the first wife now?
Tai Lian is at home, you can take it over now."
"Look, they said that you are not here to extort money. Just now they said that Tai Lian is giving birth to a child."
"I……"
"Yinyu, report to the official."
Xu Xiuyi said sternly, and the couple knelt down and hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "Third Grandma, spare your life, Third Grandma, we were wrong, we, we were greedy. We wanted to take the opportunity to extort money, but we also wanted to settle Tai well.
Lian and the child..."
"Still talking nonsense?"
"I……"
"Here comes the official."
Xu Xiuyi gave an order, and two young men came in to pull the two of them. They cried and begged for mercy, but Xu Xiuyi just looked indifferent, turned to look at the guests, and said: "Tai Lian is indeed pregnant with my fourth master's child."
, but our Su family has never planned to abandon her. The old lady said early in the morning that she would bring Tai Lian back when the fourth master marries the first wife."
This is undoubtedly a step up. The old lady of the Su family also expressed her position: "Yes, how can the flesh and blood of my Su family be left outside? I told Tai Lian earlier that when the fourth child marries the first wife, I will take her back and take her as my concubine."
Waiter, I always keep my word."
On this happy day, everyone thought that the Su family had found a way for them to step down, and they were flattering them verbally. In fact, no one knew that the Su family would not be able to lose face. If there was no such step, then the fourth master of the Su family would
His face will be completely peeled off.
This farce is finally over.
Afterwards, the guests chatted happily, and nothing happened at that time. The old lady of the Su family said she was tired and went back to her room to rest. Xu Xiuyi went to see her. She had managed to maintain her health in the past few days, but suddenly she collapsed again. After drinking ginseng, she
The soup simmers.
Xu Xiuyi entertained her in the hall for a while, and then she saw Su Jinyu coming out of the bridal chamber with a very ugly face. The man at the table was drinking with others, and he drank even more heavily than on the day of Xu Lanqing's wedding.
Xu Xiu recalled that he was probably "surprised" by the bride and the wonderful farce at the wedding hall, so he drank like that.
She greeted her casually and returned to the house with her gold and silver jade.
As soon as she returned, Yinyu came over first, patting her chest with lingering fear: "I'm really afraid that the old lady will ask who let Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law in."
"The invitation to the past was originally a fake. The concierge saw the two of them well-dressed and didn't check it carefully. Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements."
Xu Xiuyi said this, and the gold, jade, and silver jade finally felt at ease.
Yinyu poured tea for Xu Xiuyi and said: "Fourth grandma is really ugly. She must be in her thirties at this age. At that time, the servant had doubted what the eighth aunt said about Master Lu's heart.
The baby bump is this old girl. I didn’t expect it to be true. My eighth aunt made her think wrongly and thought she was the daughter of an outsider raised by Mr. Lu outside."
Jin Yu didn't reply at this point. She naturally knew that such a top-notch eighth aunt who dared to talk about matchmaking must have someone behind her to support her. Jin Yu knew that this person was Xu Xiuyi.
Drinking a cup of tea, Jin Yu looked at the bright lights outside and the bustle of passing cups and cups, and said: "Grandma said before that Tai Lian would come back to be her aunt if her health was not saved, and asked us to treat her better. Now it seems that the old lady will not be able to survive in two years."
I will bring her back soon, and the old lady has personally agreed to this."
"Well, that's Tai Lian's blessing. At least it's better than her living next to a brother and sister-in-law like that. Jin Yu, go to the kitchen and cook me some plum porridge. I suddenly feel like eating it. Yin Yu, go watch it in the hall. Today
There are already some shortages of manpower.”
"Yes, grandma!"
The two of them retreated, and a cold smile appeared on Xu Xiuyi's lips, Su Jinyu, this is your retribution.
This is just the beginning.
Her slender fingertips gently touched the edge of the blue and white porcelain cup. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. She thought it was gold, jade, and silver jade. She answered, and the door opened. She was indeed wearing a black satin robe with embroidery on it.
Su Jinyuan with purple gold auspicious cloud pattern.
After coming in, he quickly closed the door again. When he saw Xu Xiuyi, he came over to hug her, but Xu Xiuyi avoided her and frowned: "Why are you here?"
"I missed you, so I took advantage of the chaos to sneak in today, Xiu Yi. Since we said goodbye that day, I have been thinking about you day and night, but I can't find the chance to come back recently."
Xu Xiuyi's attitude was just cold, which made Su Jinyuan quite hurt. However, thinking of the lingering relationship with Xu Xiuyi that night, he thought that Xu Xiuyi was angry with him, but she was still willing to be nice to him, so he walked over, sat next to Xu Xiuyi, and held Xu Xiuyi's hand.
hand.
Xu Xiuyi wanted to withdraw, but he had a pleading look on his face: "Xiu Yi, I was really wrong. I will compensate you 100,000 yuan in the future."
Xu Xiuyi frowned and withdrew her hand.
Fortunately, Su Jinyuan didn't stalk me, but he looked a little lonely. But he soon regained his energy and lowered his voice and said, "I found out some clues about Ji Hong's murder of me."
"What?"
She didn't care too much, because once the real murderer was caught, Su Jinyuan would come back to live with her. She just wanted to postpone this day some more, and some more, until An Chengshao could take her away.
"I went into Ji Hong's room and found a letter in Ji Hong's room. Although I wasn't sure if it was written by the man I saw in my hazy mind that day, the letter mentioned a place, Jinniangxiu.
village."
Xu Xiuyi stood up impatiently. Su Jinyuan thought that she was particularly sensitive to these four words because she had done business with Jinniang Xiuzhuang.
He continued: "This letter was hidden extremely well, so no one discovered it. It was also because I accidentally saw Ji Hong opening the secret compartment that I found the letter. The letter mentioned that Ji Hong wanted to be sent to Ji Hong on the second day of the second lunar month.
Go to Jinniangxiuzhuang to pick up a purse. I suspect that Jinniangxiuzhuang is the connection point between Ji Hong and the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Didn't you say last time that Jinniang Xiuzhuang had a dispute with a concubine in the palace, and that the concubine was responsible for the fire?"
"I used to do business with my father, and I occasionally heard that Jin Niang was actually the emperor's one-night romance outside the palace. Only Concubine Shu in the palace knew about this. One day Concubine Shu ordered embroidery from Jin Niang.
, asked Jinniang to be sent to the palace in person, but the two had some quarrels. Concubine Shu humiliated, cursed and beat Jinniang based on her status. For this reason, she was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor and lived for three months before she was released."
Xu Xiuyi knew about this because Concubine Shu's natal family and the Protector's Palace were family friends, and Xu Xiuyi was just over five years old that year.
It's just that more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past ten years, Jinniang Xiuzhuang and the palace have been doing business, and they have always been in peace. Why does Concubine Shu want to take revenge at this time?
Suddenly thinking of Qin Yan's words, Xu Xiuyi's heart sank and she asked: "Is it because Concubine Shu has been brooding about that incident that she set fire to destroy Jinniang Xiuzhuang?"
"It stands to reason that this is the case, but..."
"But what?"
"But the Emperor has long forgotten about Jin Niang, and has been very kind to Concubine Shu in the past few years. If Concubine Shu wanted to take revenge, she should not have waited until today."
"So what do you think?"
"There may be someone else who set the fire. I have been to the scene of the fire since that day, but I didn't find any clues. I guess that if Jinniangxiuzhuang is really the meeting point between Ji Hong and the murderer behind the scenes, then I might be able to find some clues from Wei Jinniang.
, but I can’t go see her, she knows me, so..."
"You want me to go find out the truth?"
"Well, I heard that you have some friendship with her. You even gave her an original gift for her father's birthday party, which was quite popular with the old man of the Wei family. Xiu Yi, I really want to go home and start over with you.
I'm tired of sneaking around and hiding every day, will you help me?"
His tone was almost pleading.
In fact, Xu Xiuyi didn't want to help him, but there were some things that she herself needed to explore.
She kept telling herself not to expose it, even if she discovered that she had been tricked by villains again and was alienated.
But what if it’s true?
What if what Qin Yan said is true?
She was very confused and frowned.
Outside, someone knocked on the door.
Su Jinyuan became nervous and hurried to the window.
"Xiu Yi, I'm leaving first, you must help me."
After saying that, he climbed out of the window.
Xu Xiuyi answered the door, and Jin Yu came in with plum porridge. His eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the half window that was still shaking. He understood in his heart, but said nothing.
"Grandma, plum porridge."
"Well, I'll drink this tomorrow morning too."
She had some pregnancy symptoms, and as the child grew older, the pregnancy reactions became more and more severe. A few days ago, she could barely eat some food. These days, she only wants to drink plum porridge, sour plum soup, and hawthorn cake.
Even if I had to eat some food, I would only eat pickles and sauerkraut.
Xu Xiuyi tried her best to endure it, not to vomit, not to complain about back pain, not to eat some cakes and fruits, she was afraid that her pregnancy would be seen by others.
But time waits for no one. After taking a bath in the evening, she looked at her slightly bulging belly and knew that she could hide it for three to five months at most.
She should have told Mr. An Cheng long ago, but because of Qin Yan's words, she was in confusion and did not want to talk about the child now.
In fact, she is conflicted.
On the one hand, I am unwilling to pierce the layer of paper and see what the truth is behind the paper.
On the one hand, I want to make everything clear. Whether it is a misunderstanding or a real one, at least it is better than being entangled and worried about it every day.
Looking at the bright moon outside the window, it was also in this window that day that Jinniang Embroidery Village was burning with fire.
Was this fire really caused by An Chengshao?
