Seeing that the Gong family was wearing white clothes, Gong Zhuoliang looked at his clothes, because he was the one who took care of Qiao's affairs these two days, so he was dressed very plainly, so it would not be considered impolite to enter the Gong's house.
Gong Zhuoliang was about to get off his horse, but the servants at the door had already seen him, so he quickly called up the second master respectfully, and even trotted over cleverly and lay down next to Gong Zhuoliang's horse, obviously to be a stepping stone for Gong Zhuoliang... Now this time Who in Bocheng doesn't know the owner of Liang Zeshufang, Master Gong, the eldest lady's husband's family has been convicted, and I heard that their relatives will be implicated, and the family has no backbone. Maybe they all have to rely on the second master. Although the family is separated, they are blood relatives after all.
"What happened?"
Glancing at the servants at his feet with some disgust, Gong Zhuoliang took the horse between his legs and moved two more steps, then jumped down neatly by himself, and the reins had already been caught by Gong Qi who he had brought, and he left them outside Waiting, the other three young attendants followed Gong Zhuoliang into the door.
Ever since Shi Kang moved into Qiao's mansion with Pingxi, he has changed his past practice of not taking power. In addition to resuming his previous work, he also bought some orphans and teenagers back in the name of Gong Zhuoliang Training, and selected ten loyal and potential children to teach martial arts by themselves. Usually, Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze took turns taking them with them when they went out, and Gong Zhuoliang called them from Gongyi to Gongshi according to their size , Tell them that this is just the number, and the name is still called the original one, but the ten children were thoroughly brainwashed by Ping Xi and Shi Kang, and from then on they only mentioned the number and not their real names.
Because the first batch of children with "numbers" later became the confidantes of Gong Zhuoliang and Qiao Yingze, so even the children taught by Shi Kang in the future are proud to be included in this number, but this is a story Yes, let's not mention it for now.
"Go back to the second master, it is the uncle who is gone..."
The other servant cast a mocking look at the companion who got up from the ground with an embarrassed expression, bowed his body and led Gong Zhuoliang in while explaining in a low voice, but at this time the butler got the news and came out, he hurriedly stepped aside At this time, Gong San, who was following behind Gong Zhuoliang, casually threw him a piece of silver worth one or two yuan. After taking it, the servant hurriedly bowed and thanked him, and put the silver into his belt with a smile.
"Second master, please wait a moment, the master and wife will come out soon."
The housekeeper welcomed Gong Zhuoliang to the hall, and then some maids brought hot tea, all of them looked very attentive.
"Housekeeper, what happened at home? Didn't the uncle be fine two days ago?"
Gong Zhuoliang sat down on the chair with a serious face, and asked the butler in a deep voice, his majestic appearance made people dare not underestimate him.
Even though Gong Zhuoliang still has the face of a handsome young man, because of his increasingly mature conversation and aura, no one would treat him like a child. Take that cool guy Nangong Xin as an example. When Tian talked with Gong Zhuoliang and did things together, he couldn't help treating him as a peer, without any intention of belittling him for his youth.
"Back to the second master..."
Although the reason is really hard to say, the housekeeper still explained what happened in detail, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, if such a thing hadn't happened to the eldest lady's in-law's family, how could anyone dare to touch their uncle
It turns out that Gong Zhuoyu really can't change his food, and the fact that Qiao's family was convicted didn't calm down his chaotic temperament. Yesterday he saw a beautiful boy on the street, so he secretly tracked down the inn where he was staying. , and then took advantage of the night to get dizzy and used force, but was kicked by someone who almost broke the roots of his descendants, kicked on the stomach and rolled out of the room. At that time, Gong Zhuoyu walked home by himself, So everyone didn't pay much attention to his injury, but he was dying in the middle of the night. The doctor came and looked at his stomach, and said it was internal bleeding and he was weak, and then he passed away this morning.
"What about the young man? Have you reported to the police?"
Gong Zhuoliang frowned slightly after hearing this, wondering if it was really a coincidence that his internal organs ruptured with one kick, which would be death in ancient times without surgical operations, but if it was someone else who gave Gong Zhuoyu It seems that he is not worthy of bringing someone out like this. It seems that Gong Zhuoyu is a bit too reckless, or it should be said that the self-defense and wounding young man is a little too reckless, so he has a life lawsuit on his back.
"We sent someone to the inn last night, but the assailant had already disappeared, Madam didn't let the police report..."
The housekeeper heard the footsteps as he spoke, and hurriedly bowed and stepped aside, watching his nose, nose, nose, nose, and heart, not daring to speak any more.
Over the past year, Madam's temper has become more and more serious, and they dare not be presumptuous in front of her.
"... father, mother."
In front of so many people, Gong Zhuoliang still has to show face to Master Gong, otherwise his own reputation will be tarnished, who made the mainstream of this era be foolish loyalty and filial piety
Knowing that the young man ran away, Gong Zhuoliang stopped thinking about seeing him to see if it was worth helping, and regarding Mrs. Gong's decision not to report to the government, Gong Zhuoliang thought that she was still reasonable. Being able to walk sideways in Bocheng is all due to the strength of the Qiao family, but the enmity that has already been forged is not the slightest bit. Now that the Qiao family has been convicted, everyone may not have thought of the Gong family for a while, or maybe they are all in the same place. Wait and see, Gong Zhuoyu's death, if the Gong family stays silent, maybe they can avoid some disasters, if they go high to pursue the culprit, causing everyone to remember their old enemies, then it is really a crime die.
"Good... good son... save father... save father..."
Originally, Master Gong was hunched over and tremblingly following Mrs. Gong. When he saw Gong Zhuoliang, his chaotic and lifeless eyes lit up suddenly. Shouting in shock, he hurriedly grabbed him and blocked his mouth. Gong Yi and Gong San, who were originally standing behind Gong Zhuoliang, saw this and hurriedly stood in front of him. Gong Liu also stared at him cautiously. Everyone in the palace family.
"..."
Gong Zhuoliang stood with his hands behind his back, staring coldly at the bony old man in front of him, who looked at him with horror and pleading eyes, once again felt chills at Mrs. Gong's viciousness, but thinking about what Master Gong had done to her, Gong Zhuoliang slowly loosened his clenched hands behind his back, pursed his lips and looked away.
Gong Zhuoliang had never met Mr. Gong after Zi Ruozi's incident, but according to the information obtained from the Gong family, Mrs. Gong forced Mr. Gong to smoke a kind of opium similar to modern opium, which made him poisonous. Addiction, so that he can both torture him and preserve himself by controlling him.
Gong Zhuoliang admits that Mrs. Gong is really smart, she knows that if there is no Master Gong, then Gong Zhuoxiang's family will definitely not let her go, and as long as she keeps Master Gong's life, Gong Zhuoxiang has no position Let's take care of the 'family affairs' of their relatives.
"What are you crazy about! Help the master down quickly, you all back down, I want to talk to the second young master alone."
Seeing Gong Zhuoliang's attitude, Mrs. Gong showed a terrifying smile on her face, and sent all the servants out.
After the poisoning, Mrs. Gong also suffered from a whole body of illnesses. Her originally charming face was covered with wrinkles, her hair was gray and white, and she looked like an old woman. In Gong Zhuoliang's eyes, her image That is an out-and-out witch!
"You guys go out first, too."
Looking at Mrs. Gong's ugly and terrifying face, Gong Zhuoliang sighed in his heart, and let the three teenagers who were still protecting him back out. He doesn't need to worry about Mrs. Gong's harm to him now.
Now that the Qiao family has been convicted, and Gong Zhuoliang has the capital to settle down, and there is Gong Zhuoxiang's care behind him, so the marriage on behalf of him is no longer a reason, after all, no one can threaten Gong Zhuoliang's safety.
However, for the sake of Qiao Yingze's future and reputation, Gong Zhuoliang still has to ensure that this drama can end according to their original plan. After all, in this era, a man who misses his wife and marries his brother-in-law to fill the house will be regarded as a lover by the world. Holy, and a man who marries a same-sex wife and is obsessed with him without regret, the world will cast aside his immorality.
When there were only the two of them left in the room, before Gong Zhuoliang asked, Mrs. Gong had already explained her meaning, that is to ask Qiao Yingze to "divorce his wife" so that the Gong family would not be dragged down by the Qiao family.
"joke!"
Gong Zhuoliang was speechless looking at Mrs. Gong who took it for granted. She didn't understand how this person could be so shameless. Who did she think she was? What qualifications do you have to make such a request!
"Anyway, your plan is to make Yan'er die of illness. If Yan'er goes there as the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, then she will be buried with Qiao Juren in the Qiao family's ancestral grave, and there will be no place for you in the future." , if you take this opportunity to divorce your wife, not only will Qiao Juren not bear a bad name, but he will gain a good reputation for caring for his wife and family, you can also stand up for yourself, and I can keep the palace family safe, wouldn't it be more than one stroke?"
Mrs. Gong deserves to be the eloquence she has practiced in business for many years. She is obviously afraid that her family will be dragged down, so she is eager to draw a clear line with the Qiao family, but when the words come out of her mouth, it seems that this is purely good for Gong Zhuoliang and the others. .
All the good things have been said, but she didn't mention the bad things at all. For example, if the Qiao family is really going to rob the whole family and harm the nine clans, as rumored, then Qiao Yingze's life will be lost, and Gong Zhuoliang's will be killed. The deity is just a brother-in-law, how can he enter the Qiao family's ancestral grave in the future? Even if he wanted to get married in the dark, no one would agree to it...
"snort!"
Suppressing those nonsensical thoughts in his heart, Gong Zhuoliang stared at Mrs. Gong with an unpredictable expression, turned around and left with a cold snort, neither agreed nor refused...
Although she understood what Madam Gong was planning, Gong Zhuoliang had to admit that she was right on point. She was "married" under Gong Zhuoyan's name. Will Qiao Yingze be buried together? This is so annoying!
Moreover, Mrs. Gong's words also reminded Gong Zhuoliang that she could think of asking Qiao Yingze to divorce his wife to keep the palace family safe, so with Qiao Yingze's intelligence, would he not have the slightest awareness of this? However, although Qiao Yingze has gotten angry with worrying about the Qiao family these days, he doesn't seem to be afraid of getting himself involved. This is not his character...
"Small..."
Gong Zhuoliang narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky, with a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth, these days he was busy thinking about the overall situation, if the tigress hadn't mentioned this, he hadn't noticed this detail The abnormality in the place, hehe, now he really has to go home and see if his little husband has done any 'bad things'.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Beijing, Yangfu.
Ever since the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice brought Qiao Yingxuan the official document that made Qiao Yingxuan stay at home and wait for the case to be closed, he became very calm and introverted. He also listened silently to his wife's explanation and his father-in-law's advice to let him stay in Beijing with peace of mind. He didn't refuse, and it was useless to agree. It wasn't until Gong Zhuoxiang and Lu Zijian came to visit him that Qiao Yingxuan told the two of his plans.
"You want to go back to Bo City? This..."
Lu Zijian was 'blocked' at home by Gong Zhuoxiang today, only then did he know that such a big thing happened in Qiao's house, and he didn't care about the fact that he was hiding from Gong Zhuoxiang, so he rushed over in his carriage Yang family.
Speaking of it, it is also because of the strict rules in Beijing, you can tell what kind of sedan chair the officials are sitting on the street, and except for the royal family and generals, no one is allowed to ride a horse in Beijing. His other problems are useless, only 'motion sickness' is too tormenting.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't run back to cause trouble for everyone now. My father is on his way to Beijing. As a son, I have to take good care of him, so I will wait for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to lift my ban before leaving. Now at home There are only a group of women and children, and my elder brother is not in good health, so I am really worried."
It seemed that he had grown up completely overnight. At this moment, Qiao Yingxuan's previous frizz and impulsiveness had disappeared, and those who knew him well would find that what was missing from Qiao Yingxuan was his always sunny smile... Growing up can't help but make people feel distressed.
"Brother Xuan at home doesn't need to worry, Ying Ze and Liang'er will take care of them."
Gong Zhuoxiang glanced at Lu Zijian who almost rushed over to hug Qiao Yingxuan to comfort him. After successfully freezing the man on the chair, he calmly persuaded Qiao Yingxuan.
"Sure enough, brother Xiang knew about it a long time ago like father-in-law... Brother and sister-in-law must have known about it, that's why I reminded me so carefully when I left."
In front of Lu Zijian and Gong Zhuoxiang, two close brothers, Qiao Yingxuan's mature and steady mask finally had a crack. He lowered his head slightly to prevent them from seeing his red eye sockets, and pressed the corners of his mouth a little bit aggrieved.
"Brother Xuan, although Zhifu Qiao's crimes are serious this time, the sage is merciful and will definitely give a light sentence. There is a military department in the sixth department for those who are lacking in the matter. I asked someone to keep it for you, as well as the house in Beijing. , I need to wait until the news has passed before I can buy it, the money is all given by Ying Ze, you don't need to thank me, as long as you can work hard in the future, it will not be in vain as brothers like us."
Gong Zhuoxiang did not deny Qiao Yingxuan's guess, and for his change, Gong Zhuoxiang also agreed with him in his heart. Although the optimistic and cheerful boy in the past was good, he was too immature as the pillar of the family. It is also good if one thing can really grow up.
"Sure enough... brother Xiang, brother, I know what to do, don't worry."
Hearing that Gong Zhuoxiang said that Qiao Yingze had arranged everything for him, Qiao Yingxuan had a wry smile on his lips, but then he took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at the two seriously, he will definitely not disappoint his brother's expectations of.
"Good junior."
Qiao Yingxuan's determination and perseverance can be seen, Lu Zijian is quite a bit proud of my boy growing up, but he just put on a smile on his face, when he saw Gong Zhuoxiang glaring at him sullenly, Lu Zijian hurriedly Picking up the teacup and looking away, my little heart was beating non-stop, and I thought it was the young master who was at a disadvantage, okay, you are always upset over there, ah!
Not to mention that Lu Zijian disappeared as soon as he left Yang's mansion, and Gong Zhuoxiang didn't even grab a strand of his hair. It's just that Qiao Yingxuan thought for a long time in the study alone, and finally made up his mind to go back to the room. Yang Yingmo was sitting in the room sewing the child's clothes, but Zhuoxiang Gong of Huahua saw that she hadn't finished much embroidery after several days of embroidery, which showed that her mind was not on it at all.
"Mo'er... When my father's case is over, I'll go back to Bocheng to resettle my family. My cousin from the Gong family has already found a job for me. After I return to Beijing, I'll go to the sixth department to do some work. In the future, we will see whether it is the martial arts exam or the qualifications to make up for the lack of six parts."
Seeing that Yang Yingmo tied her hands as soon as she heard that she was going back to Bocheng, Qiao Yingxuan hurriedly finished the rest of the sentence, walked over and hugged his wife's shoulders, and subconsciously looked at her lower abdomen, but Yang Yingmo had already changed into loose clothes, so Nothing could be seen on the outside, Qiao Yingxuan hesitated for a moment, and then gently put his hand on it.
This time, he must protect his children and his family well, and in the future, he will never let them be wronged again.
"My husband..."
Yang Yingmo snuggled into Qiao Yingxuan's arms with red eyes, and she finally let go of her heart that had been hanging for many days. Finally, she no longer had to be in a dilemma between her natal family and her husband. Abandoning mother and son due to parents' decision.
"I understand… "
Patting Yang Yingmo's shoulder comfortingly, Qiao Yingxuan sighed slightly in his heart, he knew that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would not help the Qiao family, and he wanted to find a job for himself before, which was also a kind of charity for fear of his daughter's suffering, but Yang Yingmo herself, why didn't she complain about this marriage
Qiao Yingxuan has experienced too many feelings that he has never experienced in the past few days living under the fence of others in the Yang Mansion. The servants of the Yang family treated him with neglect and disdain, as if they were looking at a beggar. Qiao Yingxuan just wanted to pretend that he didn't know everything. Difficult.
Thinking about how his parents treated his brother and sister-in-law in the past, Qiao Yingxuan knew that he had no right to blame the Yang family, but in his heart... after all, they were not a family.
