Qiyou Episode (One Hundred and Fourteen)

The maid, Xi Que, is a top-notch needleworker, so Madam Chen asked her to make all the clothes that Mrs. Chen prepared for Brother Yuan.

Picking up one of the clothes embroidered with two little tigers, Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "This dress is good, I'm sure Brother Yuan will like it." Chen Muqing didn't let her give food. Because Brother Yuan is still breastfeeding and not eating complementary food. The ones bought outside are not as good as those made by the people in Prince You's Mansion. Therefore, Mrs. Chen worked hard on her clothes.

Magpie smiled and said, "Madam's embroidery is also good." She embroidered according to the samples drawn by Mrs. Chen. Otherwise, she has never seen a tiger before, how could she embroider such a simple and cute little tiger.

Just talking and laughing, the mother-in-law reported back outside the door: "Ma'am, the former third wife, Mrs. Shao, is asking to see you."

The smile on Mrs. Chen's face immediately disappeared, and she said with a look of disgust: "She will not be allowed to enter the door in the future."

The mother-in-law responded and left.

After a while, the mother-in-law came back again: "Ma'am, the Shao family is determined to leave. She also said that there is no way out anyway, and if Madam doesn't see her, she will smash her head to death at the gate of the Chen family."

Madam Chen didn't even frown: "If she doesn't leave, throw her out."

After a pause, Mrs. Chen said again: "Also, tell the housekeeper to arrange more people at the gate to prevent Shao from approaching the gate, otherwise he will be questioned." If Chen Zhonghe was here, he might intervene in this matter. It's a pity that Chen Zhonghe is still in Jiangnan at this time, and Mrs. Chen is in charge of the house now. As for Mrs. Chen, she hated the people in the third room.

The mother-in-law paused, and replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Mrs. Chen originally thought that this matter would be over soon. Unexpectedly, more than an hour later, Shao and Chen Zhongsheng came to Chen's house with their children.

The gatekeepers are not allowed to approach them. As a result, Chen Zhongsheng and the Shao family of nine knelt at the gate and could not get up.

The butler came over and reported: "Madam, the third master went to the casino to gamble again, and lost more than 30,000 taels of silver. The people from the casino occupied Sanfang's house and property, and drove their family out." He was kicked out with all his clothes on, and he couldn't get anything else.

Mrs. Chen knew something tricky as soon as she heard it. They closed their doors and closed their doors during the Chinese New Year observance of filial piety, and did not pay attention to outside affairs. I was afraid that Chen Zhongsheng would offend someone again and be tricked into it.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Chen said: "You go and inquire and see what's going on?" Although Chen Zhongsheng was expelled from the family, the Cui family gave them a house and a settling allowance at that time. Later, when the family separated, Chen Zhonghe secretly gave money to the third house. Mrs. Chen didn't know how many, and she didn't bother to ask.

It was precisely because of Chen Zhonghe's attitude that Sanfang had an accident and came to Chen's residence without even thinking about it. It's a pity that Chen Zhonghe is not at home this time.

It was no small matter that Chen Zhongsheng took his wife and children to kneel at the gate of the Chen family. Soon everyone in the Chen family knew about it, even Chen Huanzhang, who was preparing for the exam at home, knew about it.

Chen Huanzhang got the news and went to the main courtyard to ask Mrs. Chen: "Mother, what did the third uncle do?" Although Chen Zhongsheng was expelled from the clan, his bloodline could not be broken.

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "It is said that they lost more than 30,000 taels of silver, and the people from the casino took their house and property, and only let them come out in full clothes."

Hearing that Chen Zhongsheng went to gamble again, Chen Huanzhang's face darkened. Once contaminated with gambling, gold and silver are not enough to lose.

Mrs. Chen said: "Huanzhang, we can't take care of the third house's rot. If we do, this piece of mud will also stink you." Don't say that Chen Zhonghe is not here, even if she is, she will not let Chen Zhongsheng and Shao's come in. of. It's too late to stay away from such rotten people, how can I let them stink me again.

Chen Huanzhang was silent for a while and said: "Mother, he is father's younger brother no matter what. If they are allowed to kneel at the door of Chen's house, it will be bad for the reputation of Chen's house. Mother, we still have to find a place for them to stay. "

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "I feel something strange about this matter, so let's find out what's going on before we talk about it."

Chen Huanzhang looked at Mrs. Chen with some doubts.

Mrs. Chen said: "Casinos also have rules, and they will not lend money to those who cannot repay their gambling debts. Sanfang was expelled from the family and was given a house and some settling expenses at that time. It will be more than ten thousand taels, and the people in the casino will not lend him so much money for no reason."

Chen Huanzhang immediately understood: "Mom, what you mean is that the third uncle offended someone, and someone wants to punish him."

Madam Chen nodded and said, "Let's see what's going on first." No matter what's going on, she won't stand up for that rotten guy, Chen Zhongsheng.

The butler hadn't returned after inquiring about the news, but Chen Muqing's personal maid, Mai Mai, came over.

When Chen Huanzhang heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart. It's really wheat coming at this time, it's too sensitive.

Mrs. Chen saw Mai Mai and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, are you sitting still now?" Brother Yuan is almost six months old now, and he can already sit up. It's just that in the past few days, I still can't sit still.

Mai Mai nodded and said: "Young master is sitting very firmly now. Ma'am, grandma asked the servant to tell you that you should leave the matter of the third room alone."

The news about Prince You's Mansion is very well-informed, but married women generally don't care about their natal family's affairs. And Chen Muqing has a generous temperament, last time he wanted to help Chen Zhongsheng get his gambling debt back. Now I specially send Maimai to talk about this matter, and I feel that this matter is not simple.

Madam Chen asked, "What happened?"

Mai Mai said: "A few days ago, there were rumors in the capital that my young master beat the old lady and the princess to death, and that the young master only killed close relatives. After the prince found out, he sent someone to investigate, and it turned out that the rumor was released by the third room. In addition, the second grandmother of the Zhao family, the left servant of the household department, is behind the scenes." The second master of the Zhao family has reconciled with the Liang family, and the Liang family is no longer the second grandmother of the Zhao family.

Madam Chen's face was instantly livid.

Mai Mai said: "The lord has already sent a message, saying that the people in the third room should get out of the capital." If they want to kill them directly, Qiyou thinks it would be cheaper for these people. Only by letting them get out of the capital and live in poverty can he calm down his anger.

Even slandering her grandson, Mrs. Chen is now determined to kill Chen Zhongsheng and Shao Shi.

Mrs. Chen said with a frosty face: "You tell Mu Qing, even if Chen Zhongsheng and Shao Shi died on the street, Huanzhang and I won't care."

Wheat delivered the message and went back.

Chen Huanzhang said angrily: "Mother, why did they slander Brother Yuan?"

Mrs. Chen said: "Your grandmother asked Mu Qing for help in getting rid of the clan, but Mu Qing didn't care. They probably held a grudge, so they took revenge on Brother Yuan."

Chen Huanzhang clenched his fist and said, "I'll go find them."

Mrs. Chen grabbed Chen Huanzhang's arm and said, "Even if he is expelled from the family, he is still your third uncle. Huanzhang, you are going to be an official in the future, so you can't ruin your reputation for him."

Chen Huanzhang's eyes were red: "Mother, hasn't daddy been good enough to them all these years? Why do you still want to ruin my sister and Brother Yuan?" If King You and Princess Shizi believed this rumor, Brother Yuan and his sister How can there be a foothold in Prince You's Mansion! This kind of thing, only the enemy will do.

Mrs. Chen smiled, and the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Your second uncle and third uncle have the same temperament as your grandmother, and ninety-nine of a hundred things go her way. But as long as there is one thing that doesn't go her way, he will Treat you as an enemy. Huanzhang, stay away from your second uncle in the future."

Chen Huanzhang's heart was heavy, but he still nodded and said, "Mother, I understand."

Mrs. Chen said: "You don't have to be sad. If I didn't know that the people in Prince You's Mansion are very nice, I would not go against your grandmother's and your father's wishes and marry your sister to Prince You's Mansion."

Chen Huanzhang was stunned: "Grandfather and father didn't agree to this marriage?" He thought it was Chen Zhonghe who chose such a good marriage for Chen Muqing!

Mrs. Chen sneered and said: "He wants to marry your sister to Mo Yunfan, but fortunately I act quickly, otherwise your sister's life will be ruined."

"Mother, it's lucky to have you." Without his mother, their siblings might have been ruined.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen said: "You are my children, so I naturally want to protect you. Not everyone is as foolish as your father, outsiders are more important than your own children."

Chen Huanzhang didn't answer. A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a son can't speak ill of his father. Furthermore, Chen Zhonghe treated him well.

Mrs. Chen asked Chen Huanzhang to go back to review the book: "I will handle the matter of the third bedroom, and you don't want to interfere."

Originally, Chen Huanzhang wanted to help, but after knowing the whole story, he didn't want to take care of it anymore. Now you can slander your nephew, and you will stab him in the back in the future. Such a person, as her mother said, it's better to stay away.

After Chen Huanzhang returned to the house, Mrs. Chen asked the housekeeper to report to the officials on the grounds that someone was causing trouble. Soon there will be officials from the Yamen who want to take away the people from the third room.

Chen Zhongsheng yelled at Shaw, blaming Mrs. Chen for being cold-blooded and heartless, and she would be punished by God in the future.

The housekeeper is not a soft persimmon: "You are the ones who should be struck by lightning. Our master and madam treat you wholeheartedly, but what about you? Not only did you lose all the property of the Chen family, but you turned around and slandered our young master Biao as the nemesis. Now, I still have the face to come to the Chen family for help. Wolf-hearted people like you deserve to die without a place to die."

In fact, people who live here, except for the new residents, know the virtues of Sanfang. But Sanfang knelt at the door for so long, Mrs. Chen not only refused to let in, but called the officials, these people thought it was a bit too much. Now that they heard what the housekeeper said, they knew what was going on, and they all felt that Chen Zhongsheng and Shao Shi deserved it.

Chen Muqing's anger calmed down only when he heard that the third room was imprisoned. From the time he learned about this until now, Chen Muqing's chest was full of fire.

It was because she was afraid that Chen Muqing would be angry, so Han Jingjing kept hiding it from her. Because of anger, milk will be less. She also knew that the third bedroom of the Chen family knelt at the door of the Chen residence in case Mrs. Chen would take care of this matter, so she told Chen Muqing about it. .

Han Jingjing said: "Don't be angry, I will send them out of Beijing tomorrow. They are penniless and have no relatives to rely on. The day they leave Beijing is the beginning of their hard life."

Chen Muqing nodded.
