Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 187 There is no regret medicine in the world

The welcoming team didn't even know that the bride had changed her bag. Although they waited outside the door for a while, fortunately, the bride was carried out.

After getting on the bridal sedan chair, the welcoming team returned home.

When they arrived at Yin's house, Ganoderma lucidum covered the red hijab and worshiped with Yin Wen, and then sent to the bridal chamber.

At this time, she always felt uneasy.

After all, she married her sister instead, so I don't know if my husband can accept it.

If she can't accept it and wants to drive her back to her natal home, what should she do?
Although she was married for her sister, she has already worshiped heaven and earth, and they are a couple. If she is really driven away, what face does she have to go back to her mother's house?
Better to die.

Shall I keep it a secret?

Anyway, she believed that the husband would not recognize the appearance of the two sisters.

It's not about how much she looks like her sister. The key point is that the three of them have only met twice, and the last time they met was several years ago.

Yin Wenli left the room when his thoughts were mixed.

Ganoderma lucidum twisted her fingers nervously, shy and afraid...

Yin Wenli sat by the bed, sighed and said, "Miss, no matter what, we will be husband and wife from now on.

I know that your family's conditions are relatively good. If you marry me, you may not be as beautiful as before, but..."

"No, Xianggong, I... a concubine... I never care about these things, as long as... as long as I can be affectionate with my husband, it is the happiest... the happiest thing."

Huh?Doesn't that sound different from what others have said?

Yin Wenli had actually heard that his fiancée was a bit of a young lady, so she married him entirely due to family pressure.

Originally, he didn't have any hope for this marriage, he couldn't get along, the big deal would be going out to study in the future, out of sight and out of mind.

But now, listening to this gentle tone, it doesn't seem so coquettish?

Therefore, Yin Wenli gently took off his wife's hijab.

"Master..."

Because of shyness and fear, Ganoderma lucidum blushed even more, like a ripe peach.

In this way, she looked charming and charming, which made Yin Wenli's heart move for a while.

"Miss..."

In a moment of emotion, Yin Wenli wanted to hug his bride.

In the end, Ganoderma lucidum moved and stammered: "Sister, there is something... I don't want to hide it from you, but actually... I... I am Ganoderma..."

"What? You...you are Ganoderma lucidum?"

Yin Wenli was dumbfounded,
Doesn't this mean that there was a big oolong, and he actually brought his little sister back?
"Yes, it is……"

"What's going on? Where's your sister?"

"Sister, she...she...suddenly felt unwell, so...so...the parents let the concubine...to marry my sister..."

Ganoderma lucidum is kind-hearted, she didn't say it was her sister who didn't want to marry, but she made an excuse for her sister.

However, this cannot be hidden from Yin Wenli.

After all, he had heard about Lingjia's personality a long time ago, so he thought that his family's conditions were not good and he didn't want to marry him.

So, he sighed: "Ganoderma lucidum, you don't need to cover up for your sister. Now I finally understand why I waited so long at the door. It turned out that I was waiting for you to get dressed."

"Sister, she didn't do it on purpose, since we have already worshiped, why don't you drive me away?"

Lingzhi's eyes were clouded with tears, with a pleading tone.

Yin Wenli hugged her into his arms and said with a smile: "Fool, why would I drive you away? It's too late to be happy."

"what?"

"I'm very glad that your sister didn't marry, so you became my wife. You don't have to blame yourself. As you said, we have worshiped heaven and earth, and we will be husband and wife from now on..."

"Master..."

Ganoderma lucidum choked with sobs, feeling relieved in her heart.

The next day, Yin Wenli's parents also found out about Ganoderma lucidum getting married. Although it felt a little strange, they were still very happy.

Anyway, they are two sisters, it doesn't matter whoever marries.

What's more, Ganoderma lucidum is very sensible, she doesn't have any pretensions of a daughter, she respects her in-laws, manages the house well, and loves her husband.

Ganoderma lucidum had read a lot of books when she was in her natal family, and she was good at poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, which made Yin Wenli even more satisfied.

Let's talk about Lingjia.

After Ganoderma lucidum married her, she thought she was liberated and finally got rid of a big burden.

After picking and picking, she finally married a young master from a rich family named Ye Gui.

I thought I found a well-matched family, but after I got married, I realized that the Ye family was just superficial.

There is indeed a little money and land property, but the family is too large. There are dozens of people in the family, not counting the servants. Every day, they earn a lot of money just by eating, drinking and drinking.

Ye Gui is also a single house at home, and the brothers and sisters-in-law above are intriguing with each other. After Lingjia married, it was a long-term anger.

After two years of suffering, Lingjia, who had always been pampered by her natal family, finally couldn't bear it any longer, so she found excuses to return to her natal home and refused to leave.

Ye Gui shamelessly followed, and lived with his wife at the father-in-law's house.

The Zhang family was also happy, so they thought they had picked up a son at home.

Ye Gui also coaxed his father-in-law and mother-in-law to hand over the power of the family step by step.

This time, Ye Gui changed his face and showed his true colors. He bought a house outside without talking about drinking and drinking, and became obsessed with gambling.

Once the word "gambling" is touched, it will be a bottomless pit.

Within two years, Ye Gui almost ruined the huge family business of the Zhang family, and the old couple of the Zhang family were so angry that they died...

Lingzhi was very angry about this, and had a big fight with her sister, saying that the sisterhood was over and it had nothing to do with it.

It's not that she is ruthless, after all, her parents have always been in good health, and they were completely pissed off by her sister and brother-in-law.

……

A few days later, Yin Wenli rented a carriage and drove to Qiantang County with his wife and a maid.

Within a few days of arriving in Qiantang County, I found a relatively satisfactory small yard and bought it for 1000 taels of silver.

Afterwards, Yin Wenli went to teach in the academy, Ganoderma lucidum took care of the house at home, and they lived lovingly and affectionately.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a letter suddenly came from home, saying that Lingzhi's sister had an accident and was arrested by the government...

Speaking of it, this matter still stems from Ye Gui's bad gambling.

At the beginning, Lingjia tried hard to persuade her, but it didn't work at all. Instead, Ye Gui beat and scolded her, and once she was beaten and lay in bed for several days.

In desperation, Lingjia began to plan for her own life in advance.

She knew in her heart that Ye Gui was unreliable, and if this went on like this, even she might have to be betrayed.

Fortunately, she also saved a lot of gold and silver jewelry herself, and privately asked the maid to go to the county town to buy a yard and add furniture.

One day, when Ye Gui went out to gamble, he left a letter saying that she couldn't take it anymore and decided to go out to live by herself, and told Ye Gui not to look for her.

Just like that, she left quietly with her maid.

But he never expected that in less than a month, Ye Gui somehow found her.

First let Lingjia go back, Lingjia refused, and asked Ye Gui to write a letter of divorce, and it will never matter again.

Unexpectedly, Ye Gui had the audacity to ask Lingjia to give him 5000 taels of silver, and he would write a divorce letter when he got the silver.

Could it be that Lingjia couldn't come up with 5000 taels, and even if she had, she would never give it to her. How would she live if she was given it?

After a quarrel, Ye Gui couldn't help but rush into the room and wantonly scrape it away, wrapping up all the money and jewelry in the room and trying to take it away by force.

Naturally Lingjia refused, so she stepped forward to stop her, and the two scuffled.

Logically speaking, Lingjia would never be able to beat Ye Gui, but this Ye Gui had already been hollowed out by wine, plus he had been gambling for two days and two nights before, and drank a lot of wine.

Therefore, the whole person is floating.

Pushed by Lingjia, she took a few steps back and fell to the ground. By coincidence, she knocked her head on the threshold...there was blood all over the floor.

Lingjia was frightened and wanted to run away, but where could she run away as a woman?

In the end, let the maid go to the county government to report the case.

The Ye family got excited when they found out about this.Originally, Ye Gui had almost cut off contact with the Ye family.

But now, firstly, for the face of the Ye family, and secondly, the Ye family knew that Lingjia must have saved a lot of gold and silver, so they wanted to make a decision, so they were naturally very enthusiastic, ran to the county government to make a fuss, demanded that the murderer be severely punished, and even demand compensation.

After receiving the letter and reading the contents of the letter, Lingzhi didn't know what to do for a while.

Although she once told her elder sister to sever ties face to face, how can the bloodline be broken just by saying it?After all, they are biological sisters.

So, I discussed it with my husband.

Yin Wenli was not a man with a small belly, but instead persuaded his wife, "Your sister did do a lot of stupid things back then.

But I think the suffering she has suffered can be regarded as her retribution.

No matter what, you are biological sisters, and she won't go to jail for her mistakes.

How about this, I will go to Yudong County in person to learn more about the case and try to exonerate her. "

Ganoderma lucidum was so moved that she wept, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"There is no need to say thank you between husband and wife."

Turning around, Yin Wenli went to Zhou Yu to ask for leave, and told the truth about what happened.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but frowned and said, "It sounds like this case is not that simple, it can be big or small.

If Yudong County Magistrate insists on being serious, it would not be too much to sentence your aunt to prison for ten years, or even to exile..."

Yin Wenli smiled wryly: "Indeed, if the county magistrate insists on dragging down their husband-wife relationship and committing the crime of murdering their own husband, the consequences will be serious."

"That's right, so this matter must be done quickly, before the case is finalized, to obtain favorable testimony, evidence, and witnesses.

For example, how did Lingjia's parents die?Is it because of Ye Gui?These can all be strong evidence. "

"Thank you sir for pulling it out." Yin Wenli thanked him sincerely.

"In that case, you hurry to Yudong County as soon as possible, I will go to Mr. Song to see if he knows the magistrate of Yudong County..."

Zhou Yu rushed to the county government office to ask, and then explained the situation, Song Zhi couldn't help being surprised: "There is such a thing?

But there is one thing to say, in the case of Lingjia, if it is the judge who judges, he will definitely consider the situation and give him a lighter sentence.

The county magistrate Yu Dong is not very familiar with this official, but he is also a Jinshi of the same discipline and has some contacts.

In this way, I immediately wrote him a letter and sent someone to send it over urgently. "

"It's time for you, my lord."

"You're welcome……"

Say the other side.

The county magistrate of Yudong County was named Qi Yimin. He was neither a good nor a bad official.

After receiving the case, he understood the situation and felt a little embarrassed.

From his personal point of view, he also sympathized with Lingjia's experience.

However, after all, Ye Gui's death cannot be separated from it.

Moreover, the Ye family is very troubled now, and even insisted that Lingjia is not a woman, and the reason why she ran away from home was because there was a wild man outside.

If this is the case, the situation is serious.

In this regard, Qi Yimin is not easy to draw conclusions, so he can only adjourn the trial and investigate the situation first.

Three days later, Yin Wenli arrived in a hurry.

It stands to reason that you cannot visit the prison before the arraignment to prevent collusion and the like.

However, Yin Wenli is not an ordinary person, but a dignified person, and he is here to fight a lawsuit for Lingjia, so he naturally needs to know some things.

So, Qi Yimin sent his master to go with him to meet Lingjia in the prison.

After marriage, Yin Wenli accompanied his wife to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so Lingjia also knew him.

As soon as they met, Lingjia's eyes turned red, she turned her head and cried bitterly.

At this time, her mood was quite complicated, with a sense of shame, guilt and regret...

If she hadn't made trouble back then and had married in a proper manner, then she would be the wife of Mr. Juren's family now, and she wouldn't be reduced to a prison.

After she cried for a while, Yin Wenli finally said: "You don't have to do this, I didn't come here to see you laughing.

Your sister severed ties with you before, but she couldn't bear to hear that something happened to you..."

Lingjia cried: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I was confused..."

"Okay, let's not talk about the past, just tell me what happened with Ye Gui? Remember, you must tell the truth, so that I can defend you in court."

"Ah."

Ling Jia responded, and began to sob and talk about her experience after marrying Ye Gui.

After finishing speaking, he whimpered and said, "I know, I was too selfish back then, I was the one who was sorry for you and your sister..."

Yin Wenli said with a cold face: "You are not only sorry for me and your sister, you are even more sorry for the parents who gave birth to you and raised you.

Why does Lingzhi not recognize you?If you hadn't lured the wolf into the house, why would the father-in-law and mother-in-law be so angry? "

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..." Lingjia burst into tears.

The master stood aside and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

After leaving the cell, accompanied by his master, Yin Wenli went to the maid named A Zhu and inquired about the situation in detail.

Azhu was also frightened, and kept crying when he mentioned what happened that day.

"At that time, it was very sudden, and I didn't know... I didn't know how my uncle... how he found him.

She scolded the eldest lady as soon as she came, and the scolding was terrible... Later, the eldest lady was so angry that she asked the uncle to write a divorce letter, but the uncle refused to write it, saying that unless he was given 5000 taels of silver...

Although the young lady has some savings, she still can't afford 5000 taels.

My uncle rushed into the room to search... At that time, I was afraid to go in when I was outside, I only heard them arguing fiercely...

Later...then my uncle wanted to leave with a package, but the eldest lady refused, so they...scrambled...

In the chaos, my uncle might...maybe been pushed by the eldest lady, fell on his back, knocked his head... on the threshold, and bled a lot..."

While she was talking, Yin Wenli was memorizing.

After all, he had to find out the details before he could help with his defense.

"Azhu, are there people on both sides of the yard between you and the eldest lady?"

"some……"

Hearing this, Yin Wenli nodded thoughtfully: "Since that's the case, the commotion was so loud that the neighbors on both sides could have heard it..."

He decided to go to the small courtyard to check on the spot and ask the neighbors about the situation at that time.
