my wife is wonderful

Chapter 140 Reasons
Sun was also shocked. She didn't know Xiao Xia, but after hearing her introduction, she knew that she was Xia's sister. Sun thought about the in-law relationship in Anping House. She was not like Geng Xingshuang. It took a long time to figure it out. In just one or two breaths, Sun searched the situation of Xiao Xia's natal family and husband's family in her mind, and she smiled coldly.

"Bold, I am the wife of the crown prince of the Marquis. Who are you? What is your identity? How dare you insult me ​​in public? Your Lord Zhu has studied books all his life and is very knowledgeable. He must be very important to me." He can recite the Dharma by heart, but I would like to ask him what the crime should be if an unworthy minister publicly insults the wife of a second-rank marquis, the Crown Prince, in public!"

Sun's voice was not loud, at least not as loud as Xiao Xia's shout just now, but her face was sullen, and her eyes were stern with a slight disdain. This aura was so overwhelming that Xiao Xia, who had always only known how to scold a shrew, was so short. Half of it.

Xiao Xia unconsciously took several steps back and was speechless for a long time. She finally regained her composure and quickly looked around. When she saw Geng Shulou beside her, she hurriedly took a few steps and grabbed Geng. Shulou's arm.

"Brother Lou, you are a scholar. Tell your aunt, is what she said true? I just said those words. Will the court really convict me just because of a few words?"

Geng Shulou was unexpectedly caught by Xiao Xia and involved himself.

He looked at his grandmother. If it were in the past, Xiao Xia would be able to trouble anyone in Uncle Nan's house. If she caused trouble for Geng Cheng and Geng Shulou, Xia would not just watch.

But this time, Ms. Xia didn't look at Geng Shulou at all. Her eyes were always fixed on Geng Cheng's coffin. Her tears had dried up, but her grief had not stopped.

"Brother Lou, you have been studying for so many years and have been admitted as a scholar. Don't you even know this?"

Seeing that Geng Shulou didn't answer for a long time, Xiao Xia couldn't help but return to his old ways, and his words were full of sarcasm.

Meng Shizi glanced at Sun. The couple came here to betray the good one, not to settle a grudge.

Mrs. Sun understood that if Xiao Xia had not spoken so harshly, she would not have been embarrassed by the Geng family relatives on the spot. She was a dignified wife of the eldest son of the Yongqing Marquis, who went to various social occasions all the year round. Xiao, that was a repression due to her status, but she had never suffered a loss in socializing with others.

Let's just pretend that I was bitten by an old dog today. Just as Mrs. Sun was about to open her mouth to rescue Geng Shulou, she heard Geng Shulou say gently: "Auntie, Daning's law does have words. Those who violate the law below will only use their words. The advantage is, ten sticks. If there is a physical collision, depending on the severity, it may be thirty sticks or exiled thousands of miles. If someone is injured, he will be hanged or beheaded, or his family may be implicated."

Geng Shulou was talking about the content of the law that he had summarized. The text was far more than that simple. There were so many regulations in it that it was impossible for him to recite them all. Even if he remembered them all and recited them to Xiao Xia one by one, Even Xiao Xia's simple mind cannot understand it.

Indeed, for Xiao Xia, Geng Shulou's words were enough to shock him, but what Geng Shulou didn't say was that he had never heard of the Ningdu City government office or county government offices accepting such a case.

"Then...then what should I do now?" Xiao Xia regretted it. She was just angry for a moment and forgot that the person standing opposite her was not a person from the uncle's house, but the Crown Prince's wife from the Yongqing Houfu.

"Auntie, as long as Mrs. Shizi doesn't pursue it, you will be fine." Geng Shulou said warmly.

Xiao Xia understood, and was about to apologize to Sun, but heard that Sun had already said goodbye to Yao, and said a few words of comfort to Geng Shulou and Geng Xingbing, but ignored Xia who came towards her, and then Then he and Meng Shizi left together.

Xiao Xia was a little panicked, and turned around to ask Geng Shulou, "Brother Lou, this..." Geng Shulou had already knelt down, "Please forgive me, my father passed away suddenly, and I have no time to care about anything else."

After saying that, he knelt on the futon, bowed his whole body, touched his forehead to the ground, and stopped paying attention to the disturbance outside.

Xiao Xia's face turned red, and her two daughters-in-law also felt embarrassed. They had already heard some people talking about their Zhu family being the ones who really didn't know etiquette. When they entered the mourning hall, they neither worshiped the deceased nor comforted the family of the deceased. They just wanted to Flattery and chatting with noble people, the result is...

"Tsk, tsk, with such a character, just stay at home and be an old lady peacefully. As long as you don't go out, it will be your greatest contribution to the family."

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhu family turned red when they heard a man who had come to express condolences joking with his companions in a low voice, but they all agreed in their hearts.

Xiao Xia naturally didn't hear other people's comments. When Sun left, Geng Shulou clearly ignored her. In the past, she would have definitely taught Geng Shulou a lesson from the perspective of an elder, but today, she held back , she walked to Xia's side and called "eldest sister".

"You finally remembered me. Your nephew has gone, and I am not in the mood to talk to you. You should go back to your brother-in-law, tell him what happened today, and ask him to go to Yongqing Houfu to make amends. Otherwise, your family will live in the future... …”

Xia shook her head and glanced at the nervous Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia was a little scared when she met her own sister's eyes. Those eyes were hollow, as if they were dragging people into some abyss that could not see the world. She I couldn't help but shrink back.

Xia actually grinned at her and said in a hoarse voice: "You'd better go back quickly. With my brother-in-law's temperament, I shouldn't blame you."

Geng Cheng stayed at home for seven days and asked a Taoist priest to perform the ritual. Seven days later, along with a huge funeral procession, the coffin was sealed and buried in the Geng family's ancestral grave.

Geng Cheng's funeral, at the strong request of Mrs. Bo, was carried out according to the highest standards within the specifications and at no cost.

This made the uncle's house, which was already a little stretched, even more nervous about money.

But right now, whether it is Geng Xun or Xia, their focus is not on money, but that Geng Cheng's funeral has been completed, and there should be an explanation for the cause of his death.

In the past few days, Geng Xingshuang had roughly understood the general outline of the matter from the information that Geng Wen, Ruan and Jinbao had gathered. As soon as the funeral was over, Geng Xun and Xia took action one after another, and Geng Xingshuang took the whole thing into account. The ins and outs of the matter have been clarified.

Pomegranate and Grape were punished by Xia for saying something wrong and were given to Geng Cheng as maids. After Geng Cheng was injured, his temper became increasingly violent. Go and take a look at him. Before Pomegranates and Grapes, the Yao family only had two concubines, Zhang and Ni, to serve. Zhang was a little luckier because her appearance was somewhat similar to Geng Xingshui's biological mother, Tan Qingliu. Geng Cheng felt sorry for her. Tan Qingliu has always had an old relationship that he can't forget, probably because of empathy, so he should be more merciful to Zhang.

However, Zhang's patience when serving would be transferred to Ni's doubling of violence when serving. Ni could not bear it. She had begged Yao many times and even committed suicide because of it. However, she was saved by others. When Yao was about to spend money to buy someone, pomegranates and grapes arrived.
