The carriage stopped suddenly, and the people in the carriage did not take it to heart.
On the way, Mrs. Wu has comforted her daughter for a long time, and Wu Qiongqiong still cares about the previous beatings. After being embarrassed in front of so many people, Lu Xiuling also complained to her, especially after she came back, her grandfather who had always loved her scolded her harshly, making her feel bad for two days in a row.
Mrs. Wu felt bad for her daughter and had a headache, so she could only persuade her to restrain herself in the future and not to provoke that mother Yama, and she didn't know what else to say.
Wu Qiongqiong didn't say anything on her face, but she was even more resentful in her heart. She had always been deflated in front of Yan Yan since she was a child, and she couldn't get rid of this situation when she grew up.
A guard came to report the matter, and Wu Qiongqiong's personal maid, Moli, went to ask for details, and then came back and reported that a girl had stopped the car, saying that she knew her and wanted the Wu family to take her for a ride.
Just as he was wondering, he heard a familiar female voice shouting, "I really know the girl in your house, it would be good if she could meet me."
Wu Qiongqiong's eyes flashed, and she lifted the curtain of the car to see that it was the person she remembered.
It was her image that had completely changed, her face was extremely messy and disheveled, Wu Qiongqiong looked at her for a while before recognizing her.
"This girl said she was separated from her family, but she didn't say which mansion she was from, girl, look-"
Wu Qiongqiong smiled, "I do know her, this is Yan Yan's concubine Yan Qian, a girl from Weiyuan Houfu's family. Mother, it was she who deceived Pei Jiayu last time, so her daughter would come forward to meet Yan Yan for her. match."
Mrs. Wu frowned, "Then let her go, don't make friends with this kind of person in the future!"
Jasmine was about to go out to give instructions, but Wu Qiongqiong stopped her, "Hold on."
She turned her head to Mrs. Wu and said, "Mother, you go to your own car first. She is dressed like this, and she is alone. There must be some clues."
"Mother's good daughter, what do you want to do?"
Wu Qiongqiong rolled her eyes and smiled charmingly, "My daughter doesn't want to do anything, she just wonders how she looks like this. Mother, just give your daughter a space!"
Mrs. Wu couldn't stand her daughter's coquettish behavior, so she shook her head and got out of the car.
While Yan Qian was panicking, she saw a lady getting out of the car, followed by a person dressed as a maid.
"This girl, my girl asks you to get in the car."
Yan Qian was overjoyed, glared at the two guards who were blocking her, and got into the car with the maid.
She was a little uneasy in her heart, because she made Wu Qiongqiong lose so much ugliness last time, maybe she wouldn't help her. Never thought that people would be so polite to her, not only invited her to the car, but also served her with refreshments.
Yan Qian ran out of the house secretly until she went to Pei's house and was turned away. After that, she was desperate to go to Qingpu'an to find her aunt, but she was robbed of all her finances by the driver who wanted to make money. I was frightened and scared, and I hadn't eaten for a day, and I was already hungry now. Seeing that there was something to eat, he was not polite. He ate two pieces of cakes and drank two cups of tea at one go before stopping.
Wu Qiongqiong's face was full of sympathy, "Yan Qian, why are you like this? Why do you live here alone and dress like this?"
Yan Qian burst into tears, her lips trembled, her head bowed deeply, and her shoulders trembled. After crying silently for a long time, he slowly told the 'tragic experience' after he was brought back to the mansion that day.
She always pretended to be pitiful and wanted to win Wu Qiongqiong's sympathy. First, let someone bring her, and secondly, she had a plan to help.
She did not hide her experience and situation, and even made it extremely miserable, and Yan Yan and her mother Shen Yiyao were also described as cruel and vicious. She said that her aunt wanted to marry her to a far away place. The other party was not only old and ugly, but also a widower who killed her ex-wife. Robbed property and got out of the car.
Wu Qiongqiong was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, "That Yan Yan is too vicious, and your mother-in-law."
"As I said earlier, these two people are very good. I was really scared that day, and I was forced to be cruel again, so I followed Yan Yan's words, but I didn't know that they hurt Sister Wu." Yan Qian groaned, Weepingly said: "But I really can't, after all, I'm a concubine, and I'm begging for a living in the hands of my aunt, if you don't follow their wishes, you may not see me now. Sister Wu, you are a thousand Don't blame me."
"How could it be? I didn't know it before. I also said that you were a cunning and sinister person, and I was very angry with you. I didn't expect your situation to be so pitiful..."
Yan Qian cried for a long time, only to stop after Wu Qiongqiong kept comforting her.
"Then what are your plans now?"
Where did Yan Qian have any plans? The Pei family did not let her in for some reason, and she lost all her belongings. For now, she can only go back to Weiyuan Houfu.
But she finally ran out and let her go back like this, she was really unwilling. What's more, the mansion must have found out that she had sneaked out at this moment. She really has no idea what she will face when she returns. Besides, after going back, she is likely to be married off immediately, and there will be no room for turning back.
"If you really don't have a place to go, why don't you go to my house for a few days, and then consider your next plan?"
At this time, Yan Qian was full of panic. Hearing this sentence, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Thank you so much, Sister Wu."
…
"Why did you keep her in our mansion?"
When they arrived at the Wu Mansion, Wu Qiongqiong arranged for someone to take Yan Qian to rest, and then Mrs. Wu found the opportunity to ask her daughter.
Wu Qiongqiong smiled proudly, "Mother, you don't know, she sneaked out on her own."
"So what?" Mrs. Wu understood her daughter's meaning and couldn't help but wonder: "You mean—"
The corner of Wu Qiongqiong's mouth drew a vicious arc, "Mother, don't you think this is a good opportunity? Our family has suffered losses in front of the Shen family's Yan family one after another. It would be a pity to pass up such a good opportunity for revenge."
"This-"
"Our family can't confront the Duke of Zhenguo directly, but it doesn't mean that we can't do it in secret. Besides, Yan Qian sneaked out on her own, and it has nothing to do with us. It's time to live in Huajie Liuxiang and be recognized again, you Think about what kind of expression Yan Yan will have? She has just been assigned to marry the fourth prince, if such a thing happens, do you think she can still be the daughter-in-law of the royal family?"
"But-"
"No one will find out that we did it. As long as we do it well, it will only be unknowing. Mother, you forgot that you took the humiliation and went to the Duke's Mansion to apologize. How did the second lady of the Shen family treat you? Yours? This is a good chance for revenge!"
Of course, Mrs. Wu has not forgotten that she has always been pampered and aloof, and this is the first time that she has been so humble that people have thrown her face on the ground and stepped on it.
"Mother, just listen to your daughter!"
…
Everyone in the Weiyuan Hou Mansion did not know the plans of the mother and daughter of the Wu family.
After searching for several days, there was no news of Yan Qian. Most of the female family members in the house were anxious and panicked.
It is not a trivial matter to lose a girl in any mansion. You must know that most people have more than one girl in the mansion. If something really happened, all the girls in the whole mansion were affected.
Yan Ru and Yan Ling were also worried these few days, Shen Yiyao had not slept well for several days, and Xue's mouth burned even more.
Yan Zhi said that she thought too much, but Xue Shi didn't think so.
For some reason, her eyelids have been twitching wildly these past few days, and she always feels that something bad is about to happen.
After holding it for a few days, the Xue family couldn't bear it any longer, so she went to Rong'an Hall to find the old lady, and asked Shen Yiyao and Chen to go there.
"This matter can't be delayed any longer, my daughter-in-law thought that she should come up with a charter!"
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you mean?"
Xue Shi pursed her lips, "Let's make excuses in the house."
Shen Yiyao was startled, "Sister-in-law—"
"Second brother and sister, this matter can't be delayed any longer." Xue's expression was very firm, she held the handkerchief tightly, and said in a hurried voice: "No one knows where she Yan Qian has gone, the government sent her. People have been searching for so many days, but there is no news at all. Who knows whether she was abducted, sold, or encountered some gangster and died outside. If no one is found, anything may happen. Let's There are so many girls in the house, but they can't stand this possibility!"
If a few days later, there is a female corpse, or other unimaginable things happen, you will be unable to cover it even if you want to. Although the capital is at the foot of the emperor, it has always been the most mixed place. A girl from a civilian family encountered a bad guy, and was killed after being raped and abandoned her body in the wilderness. This kind of thing is not unheard of.
Even if people didn't die, they were really sold into some kind of pickled place. Once the rumors leaked, the entire Weiyuan Hou Mansion would become famous in the capital.
At that time, the girls in the house will all be implicated, and there are two girls to be married in the big room. It's fine to call her vicious or selfish, anyway, the Xue family doesn't dare to take this risk.
But Xue's so-called baiting is an extremely ruthless method, and it is also the best way to prevent endless troubles in the future.
Hanging up is to report the funeral, that is, to find a pretext for dying due to illness, saying that Yan Qian is dead. If something bad happens in the future, it can be inferred that the world is huge, people are similar, and the concubine in their family has long since passed away. If people come back in the future, it is not that there is no place to arrange.
Anyway, if Weiyuan Hou hangs up, it will prevent Yan Qian from returning to Weiyuan Hou in the future, or even appearing in front of people as Yan Qian, which is why Shen Yiyao is so horrified.
After all, no matter what, this kind of decisive method always makes it difficult for people to calm down for a while.
"Second younger brother and sister, don't forget that A Yan was accused of marrying the fourth prince. There are also third younger siblings. The two girls in your third room are not too young. If there is an emergency, it will be ruined as a child. We also It’s not that I haven’t looked for her, I’ve searched the capital almost over and over, and I’ve done my best to her!” As he spoke, Xue became emotional, “What the hell is wrong with her Yan Qian in our house? Again and again. The last time something like that happened, the second siblings only banned her, but did not punish her, and even went to the official media to find a wealthy family to marry her off. Treating the family members as jackals, tigers and leopards, and they ran away without a trace."
"If she can be well, I, an aunt, can't wait, but with her pig head, a dignified girl from the Houfu, she has the idea of running away from home alone, let's not say what she thinks. , I'm really skeptical about her being out there."
The three people in the hall didn't make a sound, and they all seemed a little hesitant.
After a long silence, before anyone made a sound, Mrs Xue said again: "If my mother and the second and third siblings feel that doing this kind of thing is detrimental to yin morality, then let me do it. I will handle this matter, I am not afraid. Damaged Yin virtue."
Shen Yiyao hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law must not say that. Since it is a discussion, there is no reason for you to do it alone. Just do as you said, I will be with you."
Of course, she also understands how powerful it is. Her A Yan marriage has been up and down, and now she can't stand any trouble. Stop it, just treat her as being cruel.
Xue shi nodded, squinting his eyes to look at Chen shi, "Where's the third brother and sister?"
Chen Shi hurriedly smiled, and half lowered his head, "Sister-in-law knows that I am taking care of my body, and I hope to add a male to the third room, plus I am still in charge of the house, how can I have the time to do this."
The old lady said, "The third daughter-in-law has been busy in and out of this family all day long. It's up to the two of you to do this."
Both Xue Shi and Shen Yiyao didn't say anything, but the two exchanged a wink.
…
In fact, the matter of 'hanging the white' is quite simple. The people above hardly need to do anything. They only need to lift their lips and give orders to the next person.
And the reason why Chen Shi will shirk is that she is unwilling to bear the name.
One of the elders 'died prematurely' because of the disappearance of the younger generation in the family. How to think about this kind of thing always makes me feel a little uncomfortable. In addition, Yan Qian also has a fellow brother, if people hate it, it will be more than the loss. Anyway, if someone goes out of the way, Chen shi naturally hides far away. This is her usual way of doing things.
Because Yan Qian was a concubine and died prematurely (for women who died underage, they were called premature death), and early death was usually an abnormal death, and no funeral ceremony was held. And unmarried women die young, and they can't enter the ancestral grave, and the things behind them are extremely simple and scribbled.
Female relatives who died prematurely in each house only had to hang a piece of white on the side of the house door, and others would know that there was a young girl in the house who died.
Although they all knew it was a pretense, Xue Shi and Shen Yiyao also took it very seriously.
The hanging white, the coffin, the location of the burial, and even invited someone to hold a huge dojo in the courtyard where Yan Qian lived. The old lady spent another unjust amount of money for this, so she didn't mention it.
The coffin of the woman who died early could not be parked at home, so it was carried out quietly through the back door. The place of burial is also particular, usually at the foot of the mountain or on the side of the road, and even the tomb cannot be erected. Shen Yiyao felt ashamed to do the whole set, so she arranged Yan Qian's burial place at the foot of Qixia Mountain.
After the dojo was finished, Weiyuan Hou's mansion fell silent again.
Since then, there have been no two girls in the mansion.
In the past few days, the people in the mansion have been very silent, especially Yan Ru. At this time, they realized that women often cannot be self-willed, because once they take one step, the waiting is very likely to be irreversible.
After all, Yan Qian was killed because of several of her own. No matter if she ran out of her own will, human nature is always accustomed to pity the weak. No matter where Yan Qian was or what happened to her, she was 'no', and all the previous grievances and hatreds vanished.
Yan Hong was so silent that Xue Shi and Shen Yiyao had informed him about this before, and told him the reasoning. Regardless of whether he likes it or not, at least he should do his duty to inform him.
He didn't say anything, but the ten-year-old boy suddenly became mature.
Since Aunt Pei was sent away, Yan Hong has changed a lot, and now he has become more thorough.
**
The mother and daughter of the Wu family agreed on a plan and were ready to implement it, but who knew that it would be the news that Weiyuan Hou's mansion had made a false statement.
Because of their guilty conscience, or because of the fact that what they were doing had a lot to do with the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, the Wu family and their daughter also sent people to watch the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, so the Weiyuan Hou Mansion just went blank. , you know here.
The servants pretended to come to the door to make a false statement. It is said that the second girl in the house died prematurely due to illness. The people at the doorman sighed and sighed with regret, and the clichéd people also sighed for a while.
When she came back to report, Wu Qiongqiong was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.
This this…
Mrs. Wu can only say one thing, this Yan family is too cruel!
I regret that I should have thought of this earlier, and I wasted so much thought!
When their thoughts failed, the two felt very strange, especially Wu Qiongqiong. When they went to see Yan Qian again, they always thought of the phrase 'died prematurely due to illness'.
Died so early
Because of this strange feeling, Wu Qiongqiong delayed for a few days before telling her about Yan Qian's 'premature death due to illness'.
Yan Qian has been living very comfortably in Wu's house these few days. Wu Qiongqiong served her delicious food and drink, and gradually she had the idea of wanting to stay here for a long time.
She is now like a lost dog, and there is nowhere else to go except for the Wu Mansion. She also considered whether to go home, but she instinctively resisted. Going home means admitting defeat to her niece and Yan Yan, and it means that she has no control over where she will marry in the future, not to mention how she will be treated at home after so many days.
It was this hesitation that prevented her from getting the Wu family to send herself back to the Weiyuanhou Mansion in the first place. Exactly, there is no need to go back now.
After Yan Qian heard this, she collapsed to the ground.
After that, she turned her anger on Wu Qiongqiong, saying that she had been keeping herself with false feelings, which caused her to be in such a miserable state. Wu Qiongqiong didn't like to listen to it immediately, and the objection was that you said that you didn't dare to go home, so I 'kindly' let you stay.
Of course, after all, it has something to do with himself, which shows some lack of confidence. Yan Qian wasn't a fool either. Knowing that she was being plotted, she insisted on this point. Wu Qiongqiong has been pampered since she was a child, how can she suffer from this idleness, Yan Qian is sad and angry, so she fights with her.
The appearance of a lady, and the dignity of a lady were all thrown aside. When the maids reacted, they were already grabbing each other's hair and couldn't lose their hands. You pushed me, I pushed you, and even used their feet in embroidered shoes. To kick the other person's stomach.
Beating, he rolled to the ground.
Wu Qiongqiong fought back only after reporting that she would not suffer losses, and naturally lost to Yan Qian, who was full of grief and anger at this time, and wanted to go crazy.
When Mrs. Wu arrived, Wu Qiongqiong's face had been scratched with several nail prints, her hair was messed up, and her clothes were dirty.
Mrs. Wu screamed and asked her servants to step forward and pull away. Yan Qian lost her strength at this moment, and the two separated.
Wu Qiongqiong touched her face and cried, and Mrs. Wu screamed and asked her servants to beat Yan Qian, a lunatic.
Yan Qian looked crazy, crying and shouting: "You made me have no home to return, but you still want to throw me out. Come on, throw me out and try, I will kill you on the gate of Wu Mansion, I see you Wu How can I live in the capital in the future!"
…
It's easy to ask God to send God off, and that's probably what it means.
The Wu family's mother and daughter left Yan Qian in the mansion, carrying the rest of the family behind their backs. How dare they make a big fuss now. When the incident happened suddenly, Yan Qian looked like she was burning with jade and stone. Mrs. Wu could only appease her and let her live in the mansion.
Mrs. Wu is in a hurry at the moment, and she has not had time to think of a way to decorate Taiping. She can delay, but Yan Qian can't.
She was raised by Concubine Pei since she was a child, and she has seen too many shady methods of female relatives of big families. Don't look at how good it is now, maybe she will be killed and thrown to the graveyard at some point, and she has to plan something for herself.
Even though Yan Qian spent the past few days in the Wu Mansion, she actually had a lot of thought.
Yan Qian lived in the Wu Mansion, and the maids around her were specially arranged by Mrs. Wu, and they were used to appease her for the time being, in order to make time to arrange the next thing.
Seeing that Yan Qian was heartless all day, these maids didn't worry about going home at all, so they treated her as an unruly and arrogant lady. On weekdays, he coaxed her and made her laugh. In order to relieve Yan Qian's boredom, she had to talk to her. Although Yan Qian couldn't hold back her anger, she had a lot of heart and eyes, and she also learned a lot of words from the mouths of these maids, and got a clear understanding of the inside of the Wu family.
There are two people in the Wu family. The big room is the first room of Mrs. Wu. There are Uncle Wu, Mrs. Wu, the two young masters and Wu Qiongqiong, and several concubines and concubine daughters.
The eldest son of the eldest house, Wu Fenghao, is now in his twenties. He is a concubine of the Hanlin Academy. The second son, Wu Wenjun, is Pei Jiayu's brother-in-law. He married Pei Jiayi of the Pei family. He is still only a small scholar.
The Wu family's big house is the same in the Wu family's limelight. Because of these two quite accomplished men, Wu Fenghao has a lot of face at home, and he also has some say in his home on weekdays.
What Yan Qian likes is Wu Fenghao, Wu Fenghao is already married and has a aunt. Yan Qian doesn't want to worry about marrying a wife or not. Maybe she would hesitate before, but now she can't allow her to think too much.
Mrs. Wu told people to try to appease Yan Qian, but Yan Qian was clamoring to go to the garden for a walk, but others did not dare to stop her.
The following people reported it, but Mrs. Wu didn't take it to heart. She was only worried about her daughter at the moment, and she had no time to take care of Yan Qian, as long as she didn't cause any trouble.
Wu Qiongqiong's face was injured, and the doctor came to diagnose and treat, saying that the wound was too deep, and it might leave scars. Wu Qiongqiong, like a mourning examination and approval, hid in the room all day long crying and smashing things. Her husband was not at home, and Mrs. Wu was afraid that her in-laws would be held accountable after she found out.
After I finally finished my work, I just freed up my hands to clean up Yan Qian. Who would have thought that a major event had happened.
