After the winter, there was no war in the army. But Fang Hui slammed the door and didn't go home again before the new year. I haven't seen Fang Hui for more than two months. This is the first time since we got married for eight years.
On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Hui came back. But after seeing his children, he went back to the front yard. At night, I also stayed in the front yard. In the next two days, he didn't return to the backyard, and returned to the barracks on the morning of the second day of the first month.
Ma took his two children back to her family. When asked by her father and stepmother, he cried and said the matter briefly.
After the Lantern Festival was out, it was reported that Xiao clan wanted to let the concubine's eldest son go out of the house.
This rumor, naturally, becomes less decent as it spreads, and it becomes more and more exaggerated. When Mai Sui heard these rumors, he dared not tell her.
Until Xiao was invited to be a guest in the mansion of Vice Admiral Feng Zhixi, the wife he had befriended her asked about this matter.
Xiao asked with a blank face: "What is the medicine that hurts the body and can't regenerate? What is the cleansing?"
Mrs. Lu asked with a look of surprise: "You don't know?" This matter is now spreading in Tongcheng, and the person involved doesn't even know.
Xiao’s intuition is related to himself: “I’ve been ill at home a few days ago and I’ve been recuperating at home, and I didn’t pay attention to things outside. What is going on you just said.”
Madam Lu sighed and told Xiao the rumors she had heard: "You quickly send someone to check and see who is maliciously slandering you." She has known Xiao for many years and knows him well. , So do not believe these rumors.
Xiao clan could not sit still, so he had to go home.
Seeing her face was wrong, Qiqi asked with concern: "Auntie, you have a bad complexion, is there any physical discomfort? Would you like me to ask a doctor to see it?" Han Jianming had to be called Uncle Ning Hai, so he asked according to his seniority. , Qiqi should also be called Aunt Xiao's.
"It's okay, the old thing is getting sick. You take good care of the guests, I'll go back first."
Qiqi sent her to the second door before turning back.
Shi Qin lowered her voice and said, "Mrs. Shizi, Madam Ning doesn't know about the rumors outside. Just now Madam Lu told her that she only knew about it."
Qiqi glanced at her and said, "Don't tell me any gossip." If Xiao Clan was so vicious, Fang Hui could still live to this day, and he would be so good. Only people with no brains will believe those rumors.
As soon as he got home, Xiao called the housekeeper to let him thoroughly investigate the matter: "I want to see who ate the bear heart and leopard dare to slander me like this." The housekeeper stood still.
Xiao looked at him and said angrily: "What are you still doing here? Send someone to check it out for me immediately."
The housekeeper lowered his head and said, "Madam, it is not someone else who is spreading these rumors, but the grandma's father and stepmother." As soon as he knew this, he went to investigate the matter. As a result, it was found that Mr. and Mrs. Ma were involved.
Xiao's face was shocked, and when he recovered, he was trembling with anger: "Go, go call me Ma."
Fang Hui hasn't come back for almost three months, and Ma is sad! Hearing Xiao's call to her, instinctively felt nothing good. But Xiao is a mother-in-law, even if she doesn't want to, she has to go.
As soon as he entered the house, Ma found that Xiao was glaring. It looked like she was going to eat her.
Ma was a little bit shy, and asked in a mosquito-like voice: "I don't know what is important when my mother asks me to come?"
Xiao's teeth gritted his teeth and asked: "You are pregnant, giving birth and confinement. I am not grateful if I take care of you. You even said that I damaged your body while you were giving birth so that you could not regenerate. Mars, yours The conscience is eaten by the dog."
Ma Shi was a little confused.
"Also, when did I say that I wanted you to clean up and leave the house? Huh?" She wanted to separate Fang Hui out, but Heaven and Earth's conscience really didn't want their husband and wife to clean up and leave the house. She felt that Fang Hui and Ma were troublesome, and would rather give them half of the family property than see them.
Ma knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, daughter-in-law has never said anything like this. Mother, daughter-in-law has been wronged."
Xiao Shi sneered: "This is what your father said to your stepmother. Who else could it be if you didn't tell them? Ma Shi, I have never treated you badly since you passed the door. But I didn't expect you to So slander me." Her daughter-in-law had never served before, but Ma was taken care of by her from pregnancy to confinement. Because of being a woman, it can be said that I have done my best. Unexpectedly, this woman should be so careless.
Ma cried into tears: "Mother, the daughter-in-law is wronged, the daughter-in-law has never said such things to his parents."
Even now, it's still sophistry. Xiao didn't want to see her anymore: "Go away, get away."
Seeing Xiao's face turned purple with anger, Yu Mei hurriedly succumbed to her: "Madam, don't be angry, because this kind of popularity has broken her body and her body is not going well."
easy to say, hard to do.
As soon as Ning Hai arrived home, he saw Xiao clan directing the maid to pack things up.
Looking at the large boxes stacked in the house, Ning Hai had a bad instinct, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xiao said blankly: "I can't stay here anymore. I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow. I haven't even seen my grandson, so I don't want to die here."
When Ning Hai heard this, he knew that the matter was serious. But she didn't ask Xiao, she just bowed her head to pack her things.
No way, Ning Hai called Yu Mei over: "What's the matter?" Moreover, this matter seemed to be serious.
Yu Mei told Ning Hai what she knew, but she concealed what she had heard a few days ago: "Madam went to Fengjia to be a guest today, and everyone looked at Madam with strange eyes. Madam felt wrong. , I asked Mr. Lu who befriended her to know the reason. "The process is not important, but the result is important.
After a pause, Yu Mei said, "Madam questioned the grandma, but the grandma bit her to death. The madam fainted with anger at the time. When she woke up, she asked the slaves to pack their things and say that she was going back to the capital."
Ning Hai's face also sank instantly. In fact, in recent years, not only the Xiao clan has returned to death, but even Ning Hai is also too bored.
Waved to make the maid retreat, Ning Hai said: "What do you care about with such a foolish person."
Xiao pushed Ning Hai away and said, "I'm just too sexual, so she rides on her head to poop and pee. I can't beat and scold, I'm going to the head office."
This time Xiao Clan was really angry, and he didn't want to stay in Tongcheng for a moment. No matter what Ning Hai said, she didn't let it go.
Ning Hai had a headache: "It's snowing outside now, where are you going back to the capital. If you want to do it, you will have to come back in two months!"
"It's better to freeze to death on the road than to die here." The Xiao clan had eaten his weight this time, and must return to the capital.
Ning Hai did not withdraw, and said, "As long as you don't return to the capital now, I will agree to whatever you want to do.?"
Xiao turned his head and asked: "Really?"
"When did I tell you a lie?" He has always said nothing.
Xiao Clan held the Crane in his hand and said, "Then let Fang Hui separate from Ning Zhan, do you agree?"
Ning Hai didn't speak.
Xiao Clan watched him get angry in this way, and said, "Ma's slander me this time, and he can slander A Zhan like this next time. Ning Hai, do you have to let Fang Hui and Ma ruin A Zhan's future? Are you willing?"
Seeing that Ning Hai still didn't say anything, Xiao wiped his tears and said, "Then you stay here and spend time with your beloved son! When I return to the capital, I will ask Azhan to give you the title deed and the account book of the shop. Bring it here. You give Fang Hui all those properties, and I have no problem with A Zhan." She would rather go out of the house than she would like to see Fang Hui and his wife again.
Although Fang Hui was innocent in this matter, he insisted on marrying Ma Shi. Therefore, this account Xiao Shi counted it on Ma Shi.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xiao's voice suddenly became louder: "Is it me messing around? Ning Hai, let me tell you, I have had enough. Son, you don't feel bad, I feel bad."
After finishing talking, Xiao Clan sat on the ground and cried loudly: "A Zhan, my hard-working son. It's useless to be a mother, and a mother can't protect you. You were taken away from birth, and you haven't seen one in more than ten years. When I’m cold, hungry, and bullied, I’m all alone. A Zhan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Although Ning Zhan said that he had a very good life, a child must have suffered a lot outside.
Ning Hai was also panicked.
After crying, Xiao continued to pack his things. I packed everything up and called the butler over: "Go and prepare the carriage. I'll leave at dawn."
The butler looked at Ning Hai who didn't say a word, and didn't dare to reply.
Xiao sneered: "I can't move you, right? Yes, tomorrow I will rent some carriages in the city."
Ning Hai said to the butler with a tired face: "Go down!"
The housekeeper, as if he was pardoned, hurried out.
Ning Hai said in a good voice, "Even if you want to split up, I will talk about it in two years."
"Then you can tell me when you return to Beijing in two years. I can't stay here for a moment."
Ning Hai said, "Wait until April, and you will go back." In April, the sky had already warmed.
Xiao Clan was no longer willing to talk to him, bowed his head to pack his things, and let Ning Hai sit on the collapsed chair alone.
When the sky was dark, Xiao asked the maid-in-law to carry the box. But because Ning Hai was there, the maid-in-law didn't dare to move.
Xiao is going to rent a carriage on the street.
Ning Hai could see that if he did not agree to the separation of the family, Xiao Clan would really return to the capital.
Holding Xiao's hand, Ning Hai said, "Don't go back. When I retreat, I'll split up with them."
Xiao's attitude is so firm, Ning Zhan will definitely be on Xiao's side when that happens.
Ning Hai has always felt guilty for Ning Zhan. If Ning Zhan wants to split his family, he has no objection.
Xiao didn't feel relented this time, and asked, "Then when are you going to retreat?"
"At the latest next year."
Xiao Clan was dissatisfied, and said, "You will have to report to the official position at the end of this year." It was not because of the separation of the family to force Ning Hai to become an official, but for the sake of Ning Hai's body. Since last year, his pain has been worse every time the day changes, and the pain has lasted longer than before.
Ning Hai nodded and said, "Okay."
