Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 106
The front of Fang's house was still bustling with people, surrounded by onlookers, pointing at all these indifferently.Fortunately, there were officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Punishment nearby, so the voice was slightly quieter.

A chubby middle-aged man was trying to stretch his neck to look inside the vermilion door, but his vision was blocked by a hand.

"Master Cao doesn't believe me anymore?" Chu Kainan turned his head and smiled at Cao Wanzu, with a little coldness in his eyes.

Cao Wanzu immediately retracted his neck, with a smile on his face, "How could it be? Master Chu has always acted according to the law, so how could the lower officials doubt it? It's just been so long, and the lower officials couldn't help but feel anxious when they saw that the prisoner hadn't been caught yet. .”

"Really? That's good. I know that Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao are deeply in love with each other, so he will naturally catch the murderer for the Cao family. But the murderer is not easy to catch. How can he be caught within two hours? So Mr. Cao still Wait for a while."

"Two... two hours?" Cao Wanzu asked in surprise.

He came early in the morning, and it seemed that the thing was going to be done.Unexpectedly, another Chu Kainan came out halfway, and kept blocking him from doing things.The key is that Chu Kainan has a high official position, and he has nothing to do.

Now let him wait for two hours, and it will be noon when the prisoner is caught.The longer the time, the more likely it is that accidents will arise. How could he have the patience to wait here?

"Master Cao, do you have a problem with this official's work?" Chu Kainan said threateningly.

"No, no, why would Mr. Chu have any objection when he is an official?" Cao Wanzu waved his hand quickly, and then said sadly, "I'm just afraid that Madam won't be able to wait."

Chu Kainan chuckled, "Your Madam would be very happy if she knew that Mr. Cao missed her so much."

Cao Wanzu only gave a half-smile, then quickly turned his face away and gritted his teeth viciously.

Chu Kainan turned around and looked at the gate of Fang's house, that was all he could do, try to delay as long as possible and wait for Shaoyi to come over.

In Fang Mansion, the woman in a light blue long dress looked at the unopened iris flower, and after a while, she bowed her head and caressed the blue petals.

The woman's face returned to her usual tranquility, with a sad smile in her eyes.

I'm afraid I won't see the irises bloom this year, and I won't be able to wait for Jingzi to come back... What a pity.

"Mother, Shuo Ming will memorize the Three Character Classic." At this time, a little boy opened the door and ran to the woman happily, with an expectant smile in his eyes.

The woman turned around and squatted down to touch Fang Shuoming's head, and said, "Really? Shuoming is awesome, he can memorize the Three Character Classic so quickly."

Hearing the woman's praise, the little boy narrowed his eyes happily and smiled.

"Hehe, in the future, Shuoming will not only learn the Three Character Classic by heart, but also read a lot of books. When Shuoming grows up, Shuoming will go to the Imperial College to be a teacher like his mother."

The smile in the woman's eyes deepened, "Okay, Shuoming will go to the Imperial College to be a teacher in the future, and he will be the most powerful one."

Fang Shuoming held a book in his hand, and Xiaoyuan had a big smile on his face.

"Shuoming, can mother sing nursery rhymes to lull you to sleep? After resting, I will have the energy to read a book." The woman lowered her head, raised her head after a while and said.

"Okay, Shuoming likes to listen to nursery rhymes sung by his mother the most." Fang Shuoming tilted his head and grinned.

After hearing this, the woman smiled and hugged Fang Shuoming, "The mother will sing nursery rhymes to Shuoming now." After speaking, she walked towards a room.

When they got to the room, Su Wanqing gently put Fang Shuoming on the bed, covered the quilt, and sang nursery rhymes.

Fang Shuoming lay on the bed with a smile, listening to the woman singing the familiar tune, and when the woman finished singing, she still hadn't fallen asleep, and then grabbed the woman's hand dependently, "Mother, do you want to wait for Shuoming to grow up? Stop singing nursery rhymes to Shuoming?"

"What's wrong? Shuoming doesn't want to grow up?"

"No." The little boy shook his head, "Shuoming actually wants to grow up, really wants to grow up. Then when Shuoming grows up, can mother teach Shuoming "Book of Changes"? Shuoming wants to learn "Book of Changes", In the future, he will become the most powerful gentleman in the Imperial College."

The woman covered her lips with a smile, lowered her head and said, "Okay, when Shuoming grows up, mother will teach Shuoming "Book of Changes."

"Really? Then let's pull the hook." Fang Shuoming stretched out his chubby hand, "Mother can't lie to Shuoming."

"Don't lie, mother will not lie to Shuo Ming." The woman smiled knowingly and stretched out her slender hand.

One side is an adult's big hand, and the other is a child's small hand, which is obviously very weird, but at this time it is extremely harmonious.

After the two put down their hands, Fang Shuoming lay on the bed and smiled happily, "Then, before Shuoming grows up, can mother sing the nursery rhymes again? When Shuoming grows up, Shuoming won't be able to hear them."

"Then after the nursery rhyme is over, Shuoming also needs to sleep well, you know?"

"Well, Shuoming must sleep well." After speaking, Fang Shuoming closed his eyes tightly, fearing that the woman would stop singing nursery rhymes.

"Plucking weeds and picking weeds, wei also stops. Every day returns and returns, and years don't stop. If the house is ruined and the family is disgraceful, it is because of the hustle and bustle. Do not hesitate to use it, because of the hustle and bustle. Picking weeds and plucking weeds, wei also stops softly. Say Returning is returning, and the heart is also worried. Anxiety is fierce, hunger and thirst. I am still undecided, and the envoy returns to hire... In the past, I went, and the willows were Yiyi; now I come to think, rain and snow. Thirst and hunger. My heart is sad, but I don’t know my sorrow!"

After the nursery rhymes were sung, the little boy also fell asleep peacefully on the bed, his long eyelashes curled up, like a cute ceramic doll that people couldn't bear to disturb.

The woman looked at the sleeping face of the little boy, and after a long time, she lightly kissed him on the forehead.

"Shuoming, mother is going to live in another place for a few days, can you stay at home obediently and wait for daddy to come back?"

Fang Jingzi is a dutiful son, how could he have the heart to let his biological mother go to prison.But now that the Fang family has reached such a point, it is necessary for someone to go out to take the blame, so that the Fang family can be safe.When Jing Zi came back, everything would be fine.

Now Yun Ni is at Fang's house, and will take good care of Shuo Ming until Jing Zi comes back.In this way, she was relieved, and could go out without worry, from the Fang family that had imprisoned her for half her life.

After a while, the woman stood up, adjusted her dress, and walked out of the room with calm and light steps.Looking at the books on the stone table in the gazebo, the woman lost her mind a bit.

She knew what it meant for her to go out, and she also knew that she might never return to Fang's house in the future.But if she doesn't go out, the Fang family won't survive at all, and Jing Zi, Yun Ni, and Shuo Ming will also be affected.It would be worth it if she was exchanged for the peace of the Fang family.

Just as the woman was walking forward, she heard a charming voice in the distance, which was full of confusion and anxiety.

"Wan Qing, where are you going?" Fang Yunni who was in the distance hurried over.

"Yun Ni, Shuo Ming likes candied haws the most. I'll go out and buy some. I'll come back soon." Su Wanqing turned around and replied with a smile.

"You lied, you didn't go out to buy things at all. Now that the Cao family and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have surrounded Fang's family, it is impossible for people who sell candied haws to come." Fang Yunni's eyes were slightly red, "You went out to take the blame, right? "

"... Yun Ni."

"Wanqing, you can't go." Fang Yunni came over and grabbed Su Wanqing's hand, "Things are still turning around, as long as the eldest brother comes back, everything will be fine."

Su Wanqing is very smart, she probably already knew that Mrs. Pan was the murderer, that's why she went out to take the blame.Although she couldn't bear her biological mother to go to prison, she even couldn't bear Su Wanqing going out to take the blame.

As long as Fang Jingzi comes back, everything will be fine, and the Fang family will be kept.

"Yun Ni, you know." Su Wanqing smiled sadly, "Now that Jing Zi is at the border, it is impossible to come back. Today I have to go out to take the blame alone, so that the Fang family will be safe."

Fang Yunni couldn't bear it anymore, tears flowed from her eyes.

Of course she knew, knowing that Fang Jingzi was at the border and would never come back, this was just her own inner comfort.But she didn't want Su Wanqing to go out, she couldn't imagine her life without Su Wanqing, and she didn't dare to think about the loss and bewilderment when Fang Jingzi came back and saw the familiar person next to her pillow disappear.

"Wan Qing, don't you want to go out? If you want to go out, I will go out. I will go out to take the blame. You stay."

"Yun Ni, you are still young. You have a young master of the Lin family who loves you. You still have a long time ahead. If you go out, what will Mr. Lin do?" Su Wanqing asked while holding Fang Yunni's hand.

"But I don't want you to go out." Fang Yunni knelt down on the ground, shaking her head and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Yunni." Su Wanqing squatted down and supported Fang Yunni's shoulders, "Now the facts are in front of me, and it is only suitable for me to go out. I was born with a serious illness, so I didn't live long, and I couldn't grow up with Shuoming, but you can."

Su Wanqing looked at Fang Yunni with tears in her eyes, "I'm most assured that Shuoming will be entrusted to you. Before Jingzi comes back, Shuoming will be entrusted to you." After speaking, the woman stood up and walked forward.

"No, Wan Qing, I beg you. Don't go out." Fang Yunni stretched out her hand behind her and yelled helplessly.

The woman stopped slightly, then stepped out resolutely and continued to walk forward.

Cao Wanzu outside the door couldn't wait any longer, walked up to Chu Kainan and asked, "Master Chu, why hasn't this prisoner been caught yet?"

But Chu Kainan smiled slightly, "Master Cao, what's the rush? It's not been two hours yet? There's no rush to catch the prisoner."

Cao Wanzu gritted his teeth secretly, and ordered the officers and soldiers to guard Fang's house as soon as Chu Kainan arrived.On the surface it was to catch the criminal, but in fact it was to protect Fang's family and prevent him from breaking in suddenly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.Chu Kainan was not in a hurry, but he was in a hurry, so he didn't care about the relationship between superiors and subordinates.

"I'm not in a hurry, it's just that Mr. Chu's partiality to the Fang family violates the rules of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If someone reports it to the court, I'm afraid that Mr. Chu will cause dissatisfaction among the ministers and be impeached."

"Is Master Cao threatening me?" Chu Kainan stared at Cao Wanzu and asked.

"How dare you threaten Lord Chu? It's just that the court will be dissatisfied." Cao Wanzu continued in a low voice, with a very proud tone, "And the empress may also be dissatisfied because of this, so will the Chu family be affected by this matter? Xiaguan I don't know."

Chu Kainan stared at Cao Wanzu for a while, then slowly said with a sneer: "No wonder I feel that Mr. Cao has become smarter recently. It turns out that there are experts behind his back. Master Cao is really hiding something."

Cao Wanzu smiled proudly, "Where? Not as smart and capable as Lord Chu, but Lord Chu is a strong general under His Royal Highness Prince Jin. How can a subordinate official compare with it? But if this prisoner cannot be caught again, what will His Highness the Crown Prince do?" ?”

Chu Kainan just stared at Cao Wanzu and didn't speak.The Chu family had a feud with the Chen family, the family behind the empress, and they were also under His Royal Highness Prince Jin's command. Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince would not let this opportunity easily pass up to punish the Chu family.But what about the Fang family?
He was also careless. He didn't expect that the Cao family was from the prince's side.If the murderer can't be caught again, he will send the obvious handle to His Highness the Crown Prince.What should he do?
When Chu Kainan was thinking about the dilemma, he heard the sound of the door being opened behind him.A woman in a light blue long dress came slowly from inside, with light steps and a calm tone.

"Master Chu, you don't need to look for it. I am the murderer who killed Mrs. Cao's family. Because Mrs. Cao's family came to Fang's house to make a big fuss half a year ago, the minister poisoned her with cinnabar poison in her heart."

All the people at the door were stunned, and they began to chatter.

"Hey, did you hear that? She admitted it herself. The Cao family has been looking for the murderer for a long time. It turns out that she is the murderer."

"I really didn't expect that the murderer turned out to be this female gentleman. Thanks to her teaching and educating people, I think she destroyed the family style of the Imperial College. Pooh." One of the spectators looked a little rough. The mad man spurned.

"Sure enough, women can't show their faces. Their hair is long but their knowledge is short. It's just that they go to the house to make a fuss and kill them. It's really difficult to raise women and villains."

"That's right, otherwise, why do you only want men and not women when you are an official? A woman's lack of talent is virtue. Isn't it good to stay at home and embroider? This lady once taught in the Imperial College. At that time, she thought it was a good one. Thinking of killing people, it's a good thing I don't teach now, otherwise I don't know how many nobles of the family will be harmed."

"If you are illiterate and don't know that cinnabar is poisonous, it's all right. This lady knew that cinnabar is poisonous, but she still poisoned her. What the predecessors said is right, the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart."

"The most pitiful thing is the Su family, who has such a corrupt daughter. At the beginning, she insisted on going to the Imperial College to teach with shame, but now she kills people. If I were Master Su, before she grew up, I would put this shameless daughter was strangled to death."

……

As people's words became more and more excessive, Chu Kainan found it very harsh.

She obviously didn't do anything, but she had to bear people's malicious abuse. She was obviously talented and sensible, but she was said to be a bad family.No one knows what the truth is, but they are being pointed at, maliciously slandered by these ignorant people, and even... there are remarks to strangle her to death.

But she was just taking the blame for others, and they didn't even know that what they said was piercing the hearts of others like a knife.

Chu Kainan couldn't help looking at the woman, and found that although the woman was kneeling on the ground, her waist was straight and her face was calm, as if she didn't hear what outsiders were saying. Her calm and calm appearance made people feel shocked.

The people in the teahouse were also shocked. Yi Xingke felt aggrieved when he saw the woman come out to take the blame.But seeing the calm appearance of the woman, one knows that the woman is actually very clear in her heart, knowing what it means for her to come out to take the blame.

It means that from now on, she will no longer be the female gentleman who is admired and admired by thousands of people, but will be like a street mouse, and everyone will scold her.How famous she was before, how notorious she will be now, and everything she has done will be ruthlessly denied by people just like now.

"Why did she come out to take the blame? She didn't do it, and she knew how people would slander her, but why did she choose to come out? These people are too much." Yi Xingke said with a puffed face.

But Meng Yanxi next to him waved his fan indifferently, and said with a smile: "Xingke, it is unfair to treat men and women in this world. Men can pass the imperial examinations to get ahead, but women can only stay in the boudoir and embroider, hoping to get better." They hope to marry a good family in the future, just because this is their only chance to live a good life."

"Why? They didn't do anything wrong, so why did you treat them like this?" Yi Xingke asked puzzled.

"Yeah, they didn't do anything wrong. But this ignorant world has already decided their fate, and decided that they can only rely on men for the rest of their lives. If they want to live better, they can only try their best to please them This is the only way for them to survive." Meng Yanxi shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Yanxi, how do you understand women's thoughts so well?" Yi Xingke looked at Meng Yanxi as if he had discovered something, and said in surprise, "Did you secretly go to Yijun Tower behind my back?"

Meng Yanxi: "..."

"You just went to Yijun Tower." Meng Yanxi tapped Yi Xingke's head with a fan, "Don't forget, I am a master of emotions, and of course I know women's thoughts best."

"Are you still a master of emotions? I don't know who is not doing business in his small clinic, but he only knows how to touch the hands of those women. Even Qi Ze can't stand it, and he doesn't even care about someone's greetings and just walk around." Drive away." Yi Xingke unceremoniously went to expose Meng Yanxi's background.

Meng Yanxi's medical center is in the center of Ding capital, every time Qi Ze goes to court, he will pass by Meng Yanxi's medical center.Although it is free to treat people, women are the ones who go the most.Because of Meng Yanxi's good looks, personable demeanor, and romantic personality, those women who could be coaxed with just one mouth blushed.

He was still flirting while taking his pulse, when Qi Ze saw it, he would ignore Meng Yanxi's greetings to her, and just make a detour.She felt that it was enough for her to be tortured by Chu Kainan alone, and Meng Yanxi was also related to Que Yu, so it was better to keep a distance as much as possible.

"Hmph, that kid Qi Ze doesn't know how to be gentle and considerate, he is so indifferent to women, he will definitely not be able to marry a wife in the future." Meng Yanxi said stubbornly.

"I already have Miss Xu's family, so naturally I don't need to be considerate to other women. It's not like some people who have many confidante, but their life-long affairs have not been settled yet." Yi Xingke began to choke Meng Yanxi unceremoniously. .

"...Let's not discuss this matter anymore, let's just watch the Fang family's drama." Meng Yanxi could only put his folding fan against Yi Xingke's head and turn back.

Yi Xingke also smiled and turned his head to look at the matter at the door of Fang's house. Seeing that everyone was still talking, he couldn't help sighing: "Su Wanqing is really pitiful. She has to endure such treatment in order to keep Fang's family from coming out to take the blame."

"The price, the Fang family will pay for this." The purple-clothed boy suddenly said, and the two people in front of the window also turned their heads to look at the boy.

cost?Now that the Fang family has been saved, what price will there be?
The corner of the purple-clothed boy's mouth curled up, and he said in a calm manner: "Su Wanqing is the price paid by the Fang family, a painful price."

　　At this time, Wanwan thought of Fang Jingzi, looking forward to her husband's return soon.
