Chapter 74 Yun Fenghuang: This Story Is Bad!
"It sounds weird to me as a concubine." Yun Fenghuang turned to look at the queen, frowning, "But what does this have to do with my concubine? Xie and Qi did have a marriage contract, but because of The Sixth Miss Xie was released when she was framed by her husband's family and died. Later, the concubine was also adopted to the Yun family. Just now when the queen mother called the concubine, she also said "Yun family". At this moment, does the empress still want a concubine? Are you responsible for what happened to Xie?"
"If that's the case, wouldn't His Majesty want to go back to Fuyang County in person to appease Wang Ling Shangxiang?"
Empress Dowager Ji was born into a wealthy family. She entered the palace as a young man and lived in a well-behaved environment all her life. What she hates the most is her loose and wanton behavior. Hearing this, she was furious and reprimanded: "You bastard! How dare you do this?" False words?!"
Yun Fenghuang perfunctorily knelt down and asked "the empress dowager to calm down", and finally continued to argue: "Empress dowager, although the concubine talked about the holy driver, there was nothing wrong with what she said. It doesn't matter if you are born in the same family as your successor, even if you were born opposite your parents!"
"Otherwise, who would dare to adopt a stepchild?"
"The concubine is now a daughter of the Yun family. Why can this matter between the Xie family and the Qi family be used to question the concubine's body?"
Empress Dowager Ji said coldly: "If it was just about the Xie family and the Qi family, of course it would not be used to indict you! But you must not forget that the Xie family sent people to pretend to be Wei Hefu to kill Qi's son this time. You—don't rush to deny your identity as Yun's daughter, you keep saying that you are Yun's daughter after adopting Yun's, and have nothing to do with Xie's."
"But the Xie family came to Beijing one after another last year, not to mention that your biological mother entered the palace to meet you several times, but which of the Xie family's children has not received your care?!"
"Xie Wuzheng won the Lord's grace, Xie Meng, the granddaughter of Xie's fourth wife, your niece Xie Meng, who is related by blood, was brought to live in the palace by you for a long time, and was sent out a few days ago because of your sister-in-law's embarrassment. !"
"It's the Yun family. Not only have you never fought for it, you even had a quarrel with Duke Yi's government for a time!"
"These actions are enough to prove that you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han. You say you are a daughter of the Yun family, but you still think of yourself as a daughter of the Xie family."
"Otherwise, how could Mrs. Xie ambush and kill the court captain for you, and do such a rebellious act?!"
Yun Fenghuang calmly said: "The empress dowager said: this concubine comes from the Yun family, so of course she is the daughter of the Yun family. It's just that the concubine's current stepmother is the aunt of the concubine's blood relationship, and she came from the Xie family. I love my concubine so much, so I managed to persuade my parents to adopt my concubine."
"For this reason, the concubine's current heirs and mothers have always felt that they owed Mrs. Xie, and they brought a good daughter under their knees, and invited the luck of heaven to enter the palace to be a concubine, so they told the concubine in private, to be good. Take care of Mrs. Xie."
"After all, it's adopted. Mrs. Xie is also my concubine's cousin, isn't she?"
"That's why I take care of the Xie family's children, but if I want to talk about the Lord's affairs, I will never dare to dictate the lifelong affairs of the princesses!"
"And everyone in the government and the public knows that the marriage of the three princesses is decided by His Majesty himself. How can I interfere with this concubine?"
"As for my concubine, I have never fought for the Yun family. Madam, my concubine came to the palace to serve His Majesty, not to benefit her natal family. Everyone knows that my concubine's family, Duke Yi, is loyal and loyal. Danxin! If the concubine relies on His Majesty's generosity to do such things as cover-ups, I'm afraid Duke Yi will be the first one who can't tolerate the concubine!"
"...As for what these two people said, Mrs. Xie was a concubine who ambush and killed the imperial court captain. The concubine is also confused. The relationship between the concubine and Qi's son was clarified by the Secretary of the Imperial City as early as last year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. , this matter is personally supervised by His Majesty, how can it be false?"
"Since this is the case, even though Mrs. Xie is doing it for the good of my concubine, why did she target Qi's son?"
"Therefore, I also ask the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to be vigilant and not fall into the trap of the villain!"
Empress Dowager Ji sneered and said, "Master Yun really can speak eloquently."
He lifted his chin and asked the woman to come out and add something.
The woman's argument is: she is the son of the Qi family, because her mother is a small steward, and she has the errand to serve the masters closely, so she treats Qi Jiulu, Yun Fenghuang, and other sons who have close contacts with the Qi family. Ladies, they are all familiar.
Of course, the ones she is most familiar with are Qi Jiulu and Yun Fenghuang: "The concubine Xian and the eldest son of the master's family agreed to marry since they were young. They are childhood sweethearts, come and go together, and are very close."
When the woman said this, she peeked at Yun Fenghuang, wondering if she was in a panic.
But the result disappointed the woman. The former Qi's quasi-mistress and current concubine Xian was as immobile as a mountain, as if she had nothing to do with her. Even aware of her snooping, he tilted his head and smiled encouragingly and tolerantly at her.
It seems to encourage her to make up and continue to make up.
That's why the woman gritted her teeth secretly, and said softly: "At that time, the servant girl had a little girl under her knees, she was about the same age as the concubine Xian, and she was also considered pretty and beautiful, so she was chosen by the madam to serve the pen and ink in the eldest son's study. In fact, the madam has no other intentions, and the servant girl also intends to betroth her to the people around the eldest son in the future. But the concubine Xian... has been jealous since she was a child, and she was very unhappy when she saw the maidservant's daughter's head. Originally, the concubine Xian It is for the eldest son to send the maidservant's daughter away, but the eldest son is pure filial, saying that the maidservant's daughter was arranged by the madam after all, and there is no fault, if you want to send it away, you have to report it to the madam!"
"However, Concubine Xian didn't want to offend Madam, so she didn't mention it."
"Not long after that, the maid somehow made a mistake and was about to be sent to the Zhuangzi—the maidservant's daughter couldn't bear to part with the maidservant, so she just abandoned the mission and wanted to go to the Zhuangzi with the maidservant!"
Yun Fenghuang smiled and said, "What else?"
Seeing her like this, the woman was a little bit crazy, she collected herself, and then she continued:
According to what the woman said, when the family went to Zhuangzi, although life was much worse than living with the master, it was much safer, and they didn't need to bear the consequences of accidentally offending the master and being punished.
Coupled with the deep relationship between the husband and wife and the filial piety of the children, the family is also happy and harmonious.
Not long after that, didn't Qi's and Xie's remarry due to something happening to Xie Fenghuan?
At that time, this matter caused quite a stir in Beidi, and the two families broke up unhappy. Qi Jiulu's mother, Mrs. Chen, was very angry because of this, but she felt a little guilty when she was reminded of this woman's family.
Although he didn't recall him back to his ancestral house, he also expressed his attitude tactfully.
As a result, the life of the whole family in Zhuangzi was better, not to mention, some relatives and friends who were still in the ancestral house were also supported to a certain extent. At the end of the year, some people went to Zhuangzi and secretly asked them to buy Qi Jiulu's news, the focus was on his whereabouts.
As a child of the family, of course their family was unwilling to sell it at first, and even wanted to sue the Chen family.
"Later, when the man saw that the situation was not going well, he reported his identity, saying that he belonged to the Chao family, because the lady in the family had admired the eldest son for a long time, but Chao Shi, the daughter of their family who was married to the eldest son, did not want to serve her husband with her sister, so she had to find another way. If you can tell, there will be a big reward."
The woman began to sob, "At that time, the eldest son of the maidservant was negotiating about marriage. He was talking about a servant girl of the Qi family. He has both talent and beauty... so in order not to be looked down upon by his in-laws, it is time to bite the bullet and make the appointment."
"The servant girl's family is obsessed with money. After checking the identity of that person, they... entrusted the people around the eldest son to find out the whereabouts of the eldest son and sue that person."
"That man was quite straightforward at the time, and he left a lot of money."
"However, when the maidservant's family was preparing for the eldest son's wedding, they were shocked to hear that the eldest son was ambushed and survived a near death!"
"The maidservant's family didn't think of anything at the time, only that Wei He was vicious. But within two days, the Zhuangzi where the maidservant's family lived suddenly caught fire..."
Yun Fenghuang thought in his heart, um, after this choked sob, he can cry.
The woman at the bottom really cried aloud, and said bitterly, "The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and the servants and the whole family were asleep. How would you know? When we find out..."
Then it must be too late, almost all of the family were buried in the sea of fire, and she was the only survivor.
Then, when she was in grief, she discovered that the fire was not easy. She suspected that someone had deliberately murdered, but she couldn't find any evidence. In order to prevent the whole family from being foolish, she could only dodge and look for clues... At this time, Chao Jing, the wife of the eldest son... You ordered people to bring his secret to him for interrogation, but in the end, he made a confession. Chao Jingyou went back to her mother's house for a thorough investigation, and found that the person who paid for Qi Jiulu's whereabouts was not Chao's at all!
Chao Jingyou is different from this woman. She is the daughter of the Chao family, the wife of Qi Jiulu, and the future mistress of the Qi family. The manpower, material and financial resources that can be used in the Northland, as well as her vision, cannot be ignored. Therefore, it was quickly found out that the man was actually a small steward of the Jiang family, and: "...when my young lady ordered someone to go to the Jiang family to confront him, the man had already passed away. Counting the days, it was the servant girl It has only been two days since Zhuangzishang, where my family lives, left."
With such death without evidence, Chao Jingyou couldn't hold back her breath, and after reporting to her in-laws, she went to beat the Dengwen drum while accompanying her husband to the imperial capital for medical treatment.
However, this woman had children with those two Xie families, but she couldn't hold back her hatred. When she was wandering outside the government office, she was "accidentally" discovered by officials, and after interrogation, she stabbed her in front of the Empress Dowager.
Yun Fenghuang yawned as soon as he heard it, and when he saw Empress Dowager Ji and Empress Ji cast their cold gazes over, he covered his mouth with a light smile and said, "What should I say about this matter? The Xie family and the Qi family are both in the north, and they have been married for generations , before the marriage contract was terminated, the children of the two families were all called brothers and sisters, not to mention how deep the bond was, but they were also related like relatives."
"Even after the marriage contract was terminated, the two headed families once had a dispute, and the younger children felt sorry for their own family for a while... But after all, there is a reason for the incident, so it can't be said that there is a deep hatred."
She mused, "So, if Mrs. Xie wants to ambush and kill Mrs. Qi, why is it so complicated? If you go around in circles to find someone to inquire about their whereabouts, you have to kill a whole family. How troublesome? Send Mrs. Qi directly The younger ones who have been in contact with each other and have a good relationship, use excuses to meet, fabricate some secrets, tell him not to tell others, and get out of it with a knife, isn't it all right?"
"If you are worried that this will not cover up the Dingbei Army's follow-up investigation, there is a more convenient way: after deceiving the person, arrange for a side branch woman to mess up her clothes, and say that the brother at home kindly invites him to have a drink, and the result is This person has misbehavior, and even took advantage of his brother to go away for a while to force his way into the boudoir and rape him... It is only natural for him to be hacked to death on the spot with knives, so why is it that the Dingbei Army has the nerve to pursue it?"
"The Xie family has many descendants, the main branch alone, the servants can't remember all of them. There are more side branches and they can't remember it. So I arranged for the woman to change her name and rank after the fact, and wait for three or two years. The rumors have passed, so what's the point if you continue to leave the court and marry as if nothing happened?"
She came to the conclusion calmly, "In short, if you really want to kill people to silence them, as a female concubine, I can think of two more feasible methods on the spot, let alone the many people in the Xie family, wouldn't it be better for me to be alone Are you smart and intelligent? Empress Dowager, Empress Empress, what this woman said is purely fabricated! The two grew up in a high school, and entered the palace as a young man. , not all of them are well-behaved, sensible, timid and dull, but there are also such lowly maidservants who act recklessly, plot evil, and even go mad!"
Leaning back while speaking, he sincerely suggested, "Why don't you teach the Imperial City Secretary some rules, and let her tell the truth!"
