No matter how much the old lady hates Chen Xuanqi, she has watched this child grow up. Although she doesn't like it anymore, she still has deeper feelings for Chen Xuanqi than Chu Yunli, who just came back. Moreover, Chen Xuanqi is not here at this time!
Therefore, all her anger was directed at Chu Yunli, and she slapped the table hard, "You still want to lie to me! Nothing can be hidden from me in this house! Do you dare to say that in Xuanqi?
You hadn't seen him the day before he was taken away? Wasn't it because of you that Mr. Qin was killed by him?"
Chen Ji sat aside and held Fahrenheit's shoulders.
Hua's face was pale and he lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. Even Qi, who always liked to make sarcastic remarks, fell silent.
Chen Tiantian, on the other hand, looked worried and hesitated to speak.
The old lady was still scolding angrily, "You are indeed your mother's biological child, and you are just as unscrupulous! Our Chen family has been in trouble for several lifetimes before you and your daughter got into trouble. I shouldn't have let you in in the first place!"
Chen Ji was dissatisfied, "Mom, my wife doesn't know about this."
The old lady was furious and quickly answered, "Did she bring this disaster star back? Was she responsible for what happened in the first place?"
Hua Shi glanced at Chu Yunli, lowered her head again, and did not ask for mercy.
After dismissing Chen Ji, the old lady continued to scold, "I just said that girls who grew up in the country don't know the rules, and they don't even know the principle of prosperity. No matter how smart you are, it's limited. Have you ever thought about Xuan Qi's cowardly temperament?"
, and he cannot be severely punished. If he says that he killed the Qin family, and directly tells the whole story without hesitation, then the confusion of blood in the Hou family will not be concealed, then I, the Marquis of Wuning,
Wouldn’t it become a joke to the whole of Kyoto?”
"Have you ever thought about how much impact it would have on your father's career if the emperor knew that our prince's palace appointed a miner's son as his heir apparent? And your mother, she is pregnant now. If the wrong things she has done are known to outsiders,
, can the child in her belly still be the heir apparent?"
"The Hou Mansion is your family, not your enemy. Do you know that no big family in the capital can withstand close inspection! You are simply... hopelessly stupid!"
At this point, the old lady seemed out of breath and covered her chest, "Unfilial descendants, you are going to make me angry to death!"
Mrs. Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help her calm down and poured tea for her.
After drinking the water, the old lady recovered, looked at Chu Yunli standing in the hall, and asked sternly, "Do you think that you can do whatever you want after you have made a marriage arrangement at the Princess Mansion, and I can't do anything to you?"
Already?"
"Say! Are you mute?"
Chu Yunli raised her head, looked around the room, and said, "Ms. Qin will die because she said she wanted to spread rumors that I was no longer innocent, so she threatened me and asked me to help her find the princess's daughter-in-law.
Come."
"Princess Le'an is so proud. Now that she has left, how can she come back because of my words? I definitely can't do it! Since she wants to harm me, of course I have to strike first!"
"Are you still justified in killing people?" the old lady yelled angrily, "There are so many elders in the family, you can ask us to make the decision, and we will never let her do anything that harms your reputation! It would be better for you to make your own decision and let Xuanqi kill someone without authorization!"
"Making the decision?" Chu Yunli asked back, "Where were you when I was wearing the old clothes that Qin didn't want, which were covered with patches and would be torn in the wash? Where were you when I was chewing on the coarse grain buns that irritated my throat? On the bed in winter
Where were you when there was only a thin, moldy quilt and I was shivering from the cold? By the time you decided for me, grass would have grown on my grave!"
Fahrenheit's face was as pale as paper, "You blame me?"
Chu Yunli asked again, "Shouldn't I blame you? If I hadn't been strong, by the time you came to pick me up, I would have turned into a handful of loess!" In her previous life, she was like Taro Shan. By the time Granny Lin and the others went, she would have been dead.
Already dead!
Hua Shi was speechless, and Chen Ji looked at her disapprovingly, "Tao Shan, what are you talking about? You are not allowed to contradict your elders. Your mother is weak and is pregnant now. Don't make her angry."
What kind of weakness is Fahrenheit's body?
When Chu Yunli first came here, Dai Yushan's body was extremely weak. Even if Hu Laosi didn't kill her, she probably wouldn't live to be forty.
The old lady frowned, "How could she say that you are not innocent? Is there any reason behind this?"
It was better to keep Hu Laosi's matter in her stomach. Chu Yunli would not mention it in front of these people. She only said, "She is used to talking nonsense. She also knows that a woman's reputation is important, so she deliberately talked nonsense."
"
"Seeing that I was about to marry into the princess's house and live a good life, she actually wanted to stop me. Naturally, I couldn't keep her! Besides, I didn't kill this person. I just asked him to send his mother away from afar. I
As long as I can't see her, her words can't affect me. Who knew he would kill someone directly?"
The girl who has never had anyone to rely on has learned that it is perfectly reasonable to solve problems by herself without relying on others. The old lady was still angry, "No matter what, you should not reveal your family affairs to outsiders!"
Chu Yunli emphasized again, "It's not me."
The old lady sneered, "Who else could it be if it weren't for you? I've lived my whole life, and you can deceive others but you can't deceive me. The person who hates him the most in the world is you!"
Chu Yunli stopped talking. Anyway, if he spoke again, it would be regarded as sophistry. However, what the old lady said was correct.
Seeing her with her head lowered and silent, and everyone in the room either being high-spirited or looking reproachful, Chen Ji suddenly said, "Mom, this matter needs to be investigated in detail."
"What are you investigating?" No one said anything, and the old lady was not angry yet. Seeing her son asking for mercy again, she was furious, "I'm afraid that you haven't found anything yet, Master Liu has already investigated everything in our house.
She’s in trouble! She must know her mistake!”
"Don't think that if you get into a good marriage, I can't do anything to her!"
Chen Ji sighed, "What do you want to do with her?"
The old lady sneered, looking at Chu Yunli's cold eyes, "Cross out her name from the family tree, and the dowry will be halved! From today onwards, she will be banned from seeing guests."
This almost means that the Hou Mansion has abandoned this daughter. Chen Ji immediately frowned, "What if the Princess Mansion cancels the engagement..."
The old lady answered the words quickly, "That's just right." She stared straight at Chu Yunli, "Of course the marriage is good, but the choice is not good. With her temperament and brains, I don't believe she will help Hou
Since she can’t help the Hou Mansion, it doesn’t matter whether she marries someone or whom she marries.”
Inexplicably, this statement actually makes sense.
Hua Shi didn't plead for mercy from beginning to end, but because she was feeling unwell, she insisted on letting Chu Yunli help her out, so the matter came to an end.
The two went out, but Hua did not return to the main courtyard and took her to the courtyard where Chu Yunli currently lives. "You really can't forgive me?"
Chu Yunli didn't care whether he hated her or not, but she definitely couldn't do it for Yushan.
Because Hua wanted a son, she was treated harshly for more than ten years, and because Hua wanted her to give birth to a child, she lost her life in a daze without even knowing the inside story. If possible, Chu Yunli believed that Dai Yushan would rather be born by herself
In an ordinary farmer's family, they wouldn't want to be born by her.
Chu Yunli did not answer this, but asked, "Is this the case in the Hou Mansion? No evidence has been found. If the old lady said it was me, then it must be me?"
Hua Shi shook his head, "She has been the Marquis for decades, and I, the daughter-in-law, cannot speak in front of her. The princess, the granddaughter-in-law, can do it, but she ran away after only a few days."
Mentioning the princess, Hua asked curiously, "Why did you let her go in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to keep her to cause trouble for...?"
In this mansion, if there is anyone who can make the old lady feel aggrieved, the only one is Princess Le'an.
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows, "Then Chen Xuanqi tried to rudely confront me several times, but the princess still protected her and blamed me for seducing her man. It's so unreasonable. It's better to leave."
Hua was silent for a while, then asked again, "Did you never intend to let Qin go from the beginning?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli made no secret, "Even if Chen Xuanqi just sends her away, I will not let her go."
Hearing this, Hua looked at her in surprise, "You actually hold a grudge so much? She raised you after all..."
Chu Yunli interrupted her, "That's because I am lucky. You don't know how I grew up. Do you know how sad I am when you say these words lightly?" In Dai Yushan's memory, she was always hungry and full.
After one meal, when I got a little older, I had to cook for myself. Just like that, I was reprimanded many times for the amount of food I used for each meal.
Mrs. Qin didn't hit her, but her words were harsh. Especially for Dai Yushan, her mother's despicable insults were simply more uncomfortable than being beaten.
Speaking of Qin, the atmosphere suddenly became dull. Hua changed the subject and said, "It's not that I didn't plead for you just now. It's because your grandmother hates me. If I plead for mercy, she will definitely be even more angry. If I speak for you, it will actually be harmful to you."
I've killed you. Your name has been crossed out in the genealogy...don't worry, there will always be a chance in the future, and I will help you."
Maybe it's a good thing that the name has been crossed out.
Seeing her daughter's lack of interest, Hua turned around and went out. Before leaving, she asked, "If the Princess Mansion knows that your identity has changed, will it have any impact on the marriage?"
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly, "No."
In his daughter's clear eyes, Fahrenheit felt a little embarrassed, as if his thoughts were nowhere to be found, and he hurriedly went out to leave. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be running away.
Chen Xuanqi was no longer the heir to the Hou family, so Jing Zhaoyin was no longer polite and immediately sentenced him to death and was to be executed later in the year.
The problem is that it is already autumn, and he will die in half a month at most.
As expected, the old lady's worry that Chen Xuanqi would tell the whole story about the confusion of bloodlines did not happen.
As long as he's not stupid, he won't say anything.
You know, now Chen Xuanqi is hanged, that is, strangled with a rope, but if he had said it, he might be executed by beheading, but that would be separation of the body. After that, there would be car splitting.
If he told about the son exchange, he would not be able to hide the fact that he had killed his mother with his own hands. Nowadays, the world is governed by filial piety, and if it is matricide, it will at least be beheaded.
He won't say it, but someone will.
Seeing that the day of Chen Xuanqi's execution was getting closer and closer, word suddenly spread throughout Kyoto that Chen Xuanqi was not a bloodline of the Hou family.
There is an older girl of unknown origin in the Hou Mansion. She is about the same age as his legitimate son. Moreover, Wu Ning Hou and his wife are so affectionate that he does not even look at the legitimate daughter of the Qi Hou Mansion. How could he have a legitimate son with a woman from outside?
Daughter about the same age?
Also, when the eldest girl over there was brought back, Chen Xuanqi was sent to prison, and it looked like he was going to kill someone and silence him! Furthermore, after Chen Xuanqi was imprisoned, no master in the Hou Mansion visited him, nor did he
People have to think of ways to get people.
It was reasonable and well-founded. When the old lady found out, she became furious!
