The girl in the apricot dress with a single bun was crying like pear blossoms and raining, and she was somewhat decent in her helplessness and misery. Look at his demeanor, it is said that the young ladies of ordinary people can make it. This woman inexplicably appeared at the wedding, and kept asking Wen Tingzhi to save her and save their child, which immediately caused an uproar among the guests.
Outsiders may not know who this woman is, and they should think it is Wen Tingzhi's romantic debt caused by outsiders. The servants of the Duke's Mansion recognized her at a glance. This girl is none other than Fang'er, the big girl next to their eldest son.
Fang'er not only has a good appearance, but also can read and write. She is very decent on weekdays. I heard that I fell ill a few days ago, and my wife sent me out of the mansion to recuperate for fear of offending the joy of my grandson's wedding.
The mansion was extremely lively today, and the servants were so busy that they kept their feet on the ground. No one saw when Fang'er entered the mansion, and when she came over.
The guests pointed and whispered.
Wen Tingzhi has always had a reputation of being modest, courteous and approachable, and has always been upright in character, and has never reported anything that harms personal morality. How could it not be surprising that this happened so suddenly, and it was still on the wedding day.
The moment Mrs. Wen heard Fang'er's voice, her mind changed a thousand times.
Fang'er was sent away by her own order, and the person she sent to watch was also her confidant. Now that Fang'er came back suddenly, she hadn't received any news beforehand, so it can be seen that someone must have played tricks on this matter.
"My son... my son..."
Cries came in, and Wen Tingzhi was obviously hesitating. A pair of Mrs. Shang Wen's concealed gazes, and the leg he just stepped out was retracted. The mother said that the concubine could not have a concubine before the birth of a concubine. The mother also said that the grandson of Wen's parents should not be a maidservant to give birth to children under any circumstances.
Before Mrs. Wen went out, she saw that Mrs. Wen had already left the wedding hall first.
Mrs. Wen valued her eldest grandson the most, and always thought that her eldest grandson had excellent character, and it was absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing as having a concubine before marriage. She stared at Fang'er, trembling with anger.
"You... what did you just say?"
"Old madam, slave girl... slave girl has a child of the eldest son. The slave girl's life is cheap, and the slave girl's death is not a pity, but the child in the slave girl's belly is the blood of the Wen family, the slave girl is really reluctant..."
"She... what she said is true?"
Mrs. Wen turned her head abruptly and asked Mrs. Wen.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't know. This girl was sick a few days ago, so she was afraid that she would be overjoyed, so my daughter-in-law sent her out of the mansion to recuperate. Fang'er, you just said that you have a child. Who is the father of the child? Don't be afraid, you You are a member of our Duke’s Mansion, and we will make decisions for you whether you live or die.”
Fang'er's pupils shrank sharply, how could she not know about Madam's methods. These words are not meant to be for her, they are clearly warning her that her life and death are decided by the masters.
Originally, she had already accepted her fate, but now she still wants to fight.
"Ma'am, this servant is the son of the son, and he is by his side day and night... The servant does not ask for anything, but only wants to keep the child in his stomach..."
"Stop talking nonsense, Shizi is such an ignorant person. Hurry up and tell me the truth, why did you dare to pour such dirty water on Shizi's head?"
"Madam... the innocent body of the servant was given to the prince, and the servant is only a man. The prince... the prince, please save the servant! Madam wants to kill the servant, and wants to kill the servant. The servant is really desperate and sneaks out ...It is not a pity for the servant to die, pity our child, he has not yet been born...he is the first child of the Shizi!"
Fang'er was crying, looking like she was on the verge of falling.
Wen Tingzhi's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
He didn't reprimand Fang'er, and he didn't deny it. What others didn't understand. Some people thought with regret that before this, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion was said to be upright and upright, somewhat similar to Prince Wen, but they did not expect to be a hypocrite with duplicity.
There are quite a few people who have concubine aunts before marriage, but the more prominent the family, the more taboo it is for a concubine to be born before a legitimate son. Unexpectedly, a family like Wen Guogong's mansion is the same as that of a merchant's family.
Mrs. Wen's old face was swollen, not to mention how angry she was. Today is a great joy for their Duke's Mansion. She was so proud and glorious before, but now she is so embarrassed and ashamed.
After all, she has been immersed in the inner chamber for many years, how can she not even see the signs of this.
Brother Ting, I really disappointed her.
And Mrs. Wang, who actually did such a shameful thing, she really missed it.
She shook her body and felt someone supporting her from behind. Turning around and seeing his second-granddaughter-in-law, she immediately held Ye Ping's hand tightly as if she had found a backbone.
Ye Ping whispered, "There are pros and cons to everything. If this girl is really pregnant with the eldest brother's child, it will be a double blessing. On a happy day, peace is the most important thing in everything, even if you cry, you are happy."
What a happy event for something like this to happen on the wedding day.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wen's eyes lit up, "What you said is, it is more or less a happy event."
It's better than telling others to read the joke.
At this time, Princess Qingyang lifted the hijab and walked out.
All eyes followed her, and she stepped forward to help Fang'er up herself, took a handkerchief and wiped Fang'er's eyes. Don't say that Fang'er is dumbfounded, everyone is dumbfounded.
"You are pregnant with Shizi's child, which is a happy event."
Happy event?
Ye Ping secretly thought, could Princess Qingyang really not care?
Princess Qingyang's move was clearly to recognize the child in Fang'er's womb for Wen Tingzhi, but it was tantamount to slapping Mrs. Wen in the face.
It's not too good to do it right after getting married.
Ye Ping thought about it and became more and more looking forward to it.
Mrs. Wen was very satisfied with Princess Qingyang's sensibility and generosity. Comparing the two, it made Mrs. Wen even more displeased. This Wang family used to see everything in order, so why did he act so irritatingly recently.
She snorted lightly, "Hurry up and send someone to help this girl to rest."
No matter how precious the descendants of the concubine are, they are also her great-great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Wen was humiliated by Princess Qingyang, and before she could pick up the face that was broken on the ground, she felt aggrieved when she heard Mrs. Wen's unclear words.
She has always been virtuous, dignified and elegant as if engraved into her bones. Even if he was clamoring to scold others in his heart, it was still hard to see the clues on his face.
"Mother, you and the princess don't know. This Fang'er was sent away not because she was sick, but because she and a servant in Ting'er's front yard didn't know. I'm afraid she will spoil the atmosphere in the house. I think she has served Ting'er for many years and wanted to give her a face. I didn't expect that she would have such evil thoughts, and wanted to plant something of unknown origin in her stomach on Ting'er's head."
"Ma'am, I don't have this servant... I dare to swear to the sky! You can't treat this servant so wrongly. No one has ever touched this servant's body except the prince... Sir, prince, you said something, didn't you mean to protect the servant..."
"Ting'er, mother knows that you are the most kind-hearted. But this girl has betrayed her master. She has an affair with someone else, and she still wants to fall on the head of your master. Her heart is damning! She knows that today is your day of great joy. , and made such a fuss, it is clearly putting you in a place of injustice. You can't be soft-hearted, let alone wrong the princess."
Wen Tingzhi didn't dare to look at his mother, nor did he dare to look at Princess Qingyang beside him. He really liked Fang'er's gentleness before, but at this moment he was completely disgusted.
"Fang'er, I used to treat you kindly, why did you want to kill me?"
In a word, Fang'er's thoughts were completely shattered.
Mrs. Wen's tight strings loosened a little, but Ting'er was still facing her.
Because Ye Ping supported Mrs. Wen, it can be said that she occupied an excellent position to watch the play. This girl named Fang'er also didn't know anyone well, and she hadn't seen Wen Tingzhi's true face until now.
"Grandmother, I think there is something strange about this matter. After all, it is two lives, not to mention that the child in Fang'er's womb is very likely to belong to the eldest brother. It is better to send the person out first, and it is absolutely impossible to kill someone on the day when the eldest brother is happy."
The word "human life" made Mrs. Wen's heart skip a beat.
"Come here, take this girl down first!"
"Mother, the matter has not been clarified yet, so we can't just let it go."
"You... are you trying to kill someone?"
"I don't want someone to ruin Ting'er's reputation."
When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at a stalemate, Princess Qingyang said: "It's okay if there is another happy event on the day of great joy. Why don't you follow the advice of your grandmother and take him away first."
She slapped Mrs. Wen in the face again, and many people saw the sign.
Three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, two to one.
Today, if the east wind does not overwhelm the west wind, the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
Mrs. Wen refused to give an inch. This matter was not only related to her son's reputation, but also her own prestige. She would never allow anyone to spoil her son's character, let alone allow herself to be overwhelmed by her daughter-in-law from the very beginning.
When she was desperate, she suddenly shouted, "Madam, this servant is innocent, and this servant has never been involved with others. If Madam insists on slandering this servant, then this servant can only report to the officials!"
As soon as the word "reporting to the official" was dropped, someone stood up.
"Drink a good wedding wine, and I can hear someone report to the official. I really have to work hard." One person chattered, and walked out slowly.
Ye Ping rolled her eyes and was speechless.
How could she forget her future brother-in-law, who not only likes to watch the excitement the most, but is also the most entertaining person in the entire Yongchang City. No matter when and where, this person can stand on the front line of eating melons, and has a strong sense of participation.
"My lord, it's a slave who wants to report to the officials..."
"Fang'er!" Wen Tingzhi said suddenly, if this matter passed through the Yamen, it would really be a big mess.
Fang'er burst into tears when she heard her master calling her.
"My son, I have no choice but to kill my servant. Madam wants to kill this servant, but the child in my womb is innocent... Although this servant is a humble life, the child in my womb is the son's flesh and blood..."
Things have come to this point, and the guests have everything to say.
"This girl is unlikely to lie."
"Not necessarily. Mrs. Wen is the most sensible. If the child in this girl's womb is not the eldest son, how would she be like this?"
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, today is the grand marriage of the eldest son and the princess, and the overall situation should be the top priority. The princess is willing to calm things down, why does she insist on making things big?"
Ye Ping's eyes moved slightly when he heard these words.
Princess Qingyang's move is very clever.
"Girl, are you still reporting this matter to the officials?" Song Jinyuan asked.
Fang'er was obviously hesitating.
Song Jinyuan clasped his arms around his chest, "I know that there is a strange person in the criminal office who can test the authenticity of relatives by blood. If you don't let this girl give birth to the child first, you will know when the time comes."
And such a strange person?
Ye Ping looked at Wen Yu suspiciously, and Wen Yu nodded slightly at her.
really?
Mrs. Wen seemed to be shaken all over, and then slowly took a deep breath. It is useless to insist on today's matter, it is better to put it aside.
"In that case, let's wait until the child is born."
She let go, and the matter was considered to be over for a while.
Ye Ping whispered a few words in Mrs. Wen's ear, and Mrs. Wen asked someone to send Fang'er to her Yixintang, where she would personally watch over the child until it was born.
Fang'er was very grateful, and was taken away crying.
The sound of gongs and drums sounded again, and in an instant it returned to a lively scene. Afterwards, all the regulations remained the same, and everyone flocked to take the couple to the new house.
In the end, something went wrong, and Mrs. Wen lost her mood. The old lady left early on the pretext of being tired and having a headache, and was helped back to Yixintang by the nun.
The banquet in the Duke's Mansion is naturally full of delicacies from mountains and seas. However, when something like this happened, all the guests' minds were not on the banquet. Even though Mrs. Wen was still as dignified and decent as before, and treated people with every aspect, the eyes of others on her were no longer the same as before. Wherever she went, despite the constant congratulations, the congratulations had changed somewhat.
Someone mentioned Wen Ruyu in private, how scary it would be for a good daughter of the Duke's mansion to actually get mad and clamoring to kill her grandmother. There is also Wen Shizi, if you don't learn well, you will learn from those people who are not on the stage, and the belly of Datongfang before getting married is not as polite as it is rumored.
I don't know how true this Mrs. Wen's virtuous name is.
Once a person becomes suspicious, he will always look for ordinary evidence from the clues of the past. Just like a spark that started a prairie fire, it was only a speck at first, and gradually rolled into a fireball and waves, and finally stretched endlessly.
When the banquet was over, it was a mess.
Whether it's the wine table or people's hearts.
Ye Ping and Wen Yu were the last to leave, and the guests had already dispersed when they left.
Red lanterns are hung everywhere, and festive red paper flutters in the wind. The smell of wine and meat permeates the air, and extravagant wealth can be seen everywhere. It's just that this kind of wealth is like a bunch of fireworks in the night, gradually becoming illusory and unreal.
The heavy door closed behind them, revealing some faint light. The stone lion outside the door is silent, and the bright spots are like silent tears.
If the ancestors of the Wen family had spirits, they might really cry.
Glory rotten to the bone is like a pile of rot under the bark. No matter how strong and majestic it looks, it is actually unbearable.
The two mansions are close, Ye Ping is going to walk back.
They walked in front, and the carriage followed slowly.
The night elongates their figures, from far to near.
"I used to have some sympathy for Wen Tingzhi, but now I don't sympathize with him at all. A man who has no responsibility can't blame Princess Qingyang for cuckolding her later."
Just wear each other.
"The blood test that Song Jinyuan said, how did you do it, is it accurate?"
After waiting for a long time, Wen Yu didn't answer a word.
Ye Ping looked at him suspiciously, "Is it not allowed, just to scare people?"
He said "hmm".
"I knew how it would be possible. Such a method may not appear in a thousand years, and it is completely impossible under the current conditions. But in our place, this is not a problem."
As soon as the voice fell, the air felt frozen.
what happened again?
Which sentence did she say wrong? What kind of nerves did this old man have?
After a while, this feeling disappeared again.
So can't we mention her past?
Ah.
awkward man.
"What are you doing standing still?" She turned around and grabbed him. Regardless of Wen Yu's expression, he interlocked his fingers forcibly.
Since the mountain is not mine, I will come to the mountain. They are in love with each other, and if there is time for quarrels and misunderstandings, it is better to have more sweet interactions.
"Ayu, do you think the moon is very round tonight?"
"Do you know what's on the moon?"
"Let me tell you, there are no Chang'e and Jade Rabbits on the moon, only a bunch of rocky mountains."
The evening wind is slightly hot, just like the heart.
Even if it is frozen for a long time, there will be a day when the earth will rejuvenate.
Seeing that he was approaching the Princess Mansion, he saw a person sitting on the steps. The man also saw them, and stood up with a "huh" as if he was frightened.
Song Jinyuan rubbed his eyes desperately, thinking that he was dazzled.
This kid Wen Chengtian is actually holding the hand of the princess of the county!
They are very affectionate, but they have been unwilling to let go of the wedding date between him and Miss Ye Er. It's a pity that he wants to ask for a daughter-in-law, but he can pass the test of father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he can't pass the test of aunt-in-law.
No, he wants to hold hands too!
