The concubine lifted the table, the prince was too rampant

157: Trading the best of both worlds?Everyone looked at Zi Jin, it was simply impossible, under such circumstances, who would have the best of both worlds?

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Zi Jin said slowly: "Zi Jin invited out of the Yao family, and she will not regret her marriage with the Wu family, but Zi Jin is no longer a member of the Yao family. Guan Yao's affairs."

The room fell silent, and Yao Changjie was the first to jump up. It is rare to see him jump like this. He pointed to Zijin's nose and said, "What are you thinking all day long? Is it because of my reputation as an older brother?" Lilu wants you, a girl, to sacrifice herself? What do you think of me? Ah?"

Wei Mingzhu was stunned, seeing the furious Yao Changjie didn't come back to his senses for a moment, and seeing Zijin's tears rolling down, she didn't know where the courage came from, so she stood in front of Zijin all of a sudden, watching Yao Changjie angry He said: "What are you yelling at? What are you yelling at? Zijin is more sad than you. Is she willing to abandon this family and break up with the Yao family? What is she doing? Why not keep this big family? You can't persuade her, What are you yelling at?"

Yao Changjie looked at Wen Wan's wife who was suddenly so sharp, and he didn't recover for a moment. Since entering Yao's house, Wei Mingzhu has been cautious in every step, never daring to say a word loudly, and is kind to everyone, but today ... actually yelled at Yao Changjie because of Zi Jin.

After all, Wei Mingzhu came from everyone. Although she is not as well-informed as the old lady, she still has everyone's tolerance. After yelling at Yao Changjie, she was still very depressed. Looking at Zijin, she said, "What do you say about you, girl? Yes, You are out of Yao's house, you are clean, we have a heavy burden, drink tea and think that it is the fifth sister who sacrificed her life, eat a meal and think that it is the fifth sister who sacrificed herself, sleep well I still think of you in my dreams in the middle of the night, and I feel guilty and uneasy. I, Wei Mingzhu, have no great abilities, but my parents have taught me since I was a child that a family should share blessings and misfortunes, never leave, even if I go to the guillotine tomorrow , I also admit it, at least I am aboveboard and live a comfortable life. If you want to sacrifice yourself to protect us, you have to ask us if we are willing. It's better not to live..."

Zi Jin was dumbfounded, her sister-in-law seemed to be more excited than she was, and Zi Jin suddenly said, "If you have a big brother's child in your belly, would you just ignore it?" Zi Jin wanted Wei Mingzhu to stand in Haishi's Think about it from your standpoint, as a mother, you have to bear more.

Wei Mingzhu gritted her teeth: "That's because his fate is bad. At worst, he will be a mother and son in the next life, but if you want me to sacrifice you to enjoy the glory, I can't do it." In fact, the relationship between Wei Mingzhu and Zijin says that you are not very good. Deep, but Wei Mingzhu was born in a family of poetry and books, and she was taught loyalty, filial piety and righteousness since she was a child, so she can't accept Zijin's statement. Of course, personal feelings are also involved. She still likes Zijin very much. Just think about Yao Zijin's sacrifice For herself, let them enjoy the glory, she feels that she can't live in peace like being a thief. Everyone's different education will lead to different choices of his thoughts and concepts.

Wei Mingzhu is still young, just married as a woman, in fact, she doesn't know that there are flexible words in this world. If Wei's family were here, I'm afraid they would agree with Zi Jin's approach. In their eyes, a family is far more important than a single person , but Wei Mingzhu is still young and has never experienced such a thing. If she does this at this time, it is obvious that she will not be a qualified clan wife, but she is a perfect sister-in-law. At least her heart is kind and clean.

Hai's is still hesitating, if it's really the best of both worlds, to keep her reputation and future, but she has to sacrifice Yao Zijin, she feels a little uneasy but still has some hope, after all, in Hai's view, the Yao family is more important than her own life , here is her half-life hard work, her son, and her grandson in the future. If she had to make a choice, cold sweat broke out in Haishi's palms, and she didn't dare to think about it.

Yao Qian's complexion was dark, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or peaceful. Looking at Zi Jin's complex expression, too many emotions were twisted in it, but he couldn't see it clearly, but Yao Qian was still shocked by Zi Jin's thoughts. His education so successful?His daughter can have such a high level of ideological awareness, but he just wants to cry, and if he is too enlightened, he will feel guilty.

The old lady let out a long breath, looked at Wei Mingzhu and said, "Help your fifth sister up, she is just recovering from a serious illness, don't suffer from old illnesses again."

Wei Mingzhu helped Zijin to sit down beside her, and then she returned to her seat. Suddenly, she didn't dare to look at Yao Changjie's face. She yelled at her husband in front of her in-laws, but now she suddenly remembered that Wei Mingzhu was silent, and wanted to hit the wall...

Zi Jin looked at the old lady, not sure what the old lady meant for a moment, but she still said: "Grandmother, I'm afraid there will be no turning point in this matter, the Yao family can't just be implicated innocently like this."

"Since we've been implicated, at this time we have to get rid of it. What else can we do besides being ungrateful and ungrateful? What's more, the Holy Majesty is a wise king. It's not good to do some things too clearly. Let's get married to the Jinghai Hou family. In the front, their family commits crimes in the back, the emperor will not really come here to implicate the nine clans, at most the three clans would be good, so let's not panic, the marriage cannot be withdrawn, and the Yao family will be safe and sound. This At that time, if it is really necessary to implicate the nine clans, there will be many people related to Anluhou and Jinghaihou's family. If they are investigated one by one, it will be even more exciting. Things that damage reputation. What's more, the emperor has summoned the master, so it should be fine." The old lady said slowly, her eyes were full of determination.

Yao Qian also nodded at this time, and said: "My son also thinks the same way. The affairs of the court are the east wind and the west wind. It is not a good thing to suppress one side too much."

Hai Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Amitabha, this is fine, as long as the Yao family is fine, I will feel at ease."

Yao Changjie listened quietly without saying a word, Wei Mingzhu was obviously relieved, the old lady had some truths in what she said, but no one could fathom the intentions of the higher-ups, so they could only wait , and while waiting, any actions of the Yao family will be watched carefully, so the Yao family must not make a wrong step.

Yao Qian took it very seriously, looked at the old lady Yao and said: "What the mother said is very true, and the son also has this consideration. In this case, the marriage will continue." Having said this, he turned his head to look at Zi Jin, his expression softened a lot, "Girl Jin , Dad is very touched that you can do this for this family, but if you have to sacrifice you because of this, do you think our family will be happy? So, don’t have such thoughts in the future, we are a family, a family that will never leave man, remember?"

Zijin nodded, and smiled forcefully, "A family that will never leave..."

"Okay, I'm tired, go back and rest, this matter is settled." The old lady said, then looked at Zi Jin and said, "Fifth girl, you stay, grandma has something to tell you."

Zi Jin had no choice but to stay, and Yao Qian Hai took Yao Changjie and Wei Mingzhu away one after another. The old lady looked at Zi Jin and said, "Fifth girl, your kind-hearted grandmother knows that although this marriage cannot be withdrawn, but in the future No one can predict what it will look like. If the Marquis of Jinghai is implicated by the Marquis of Anlu, it is hard to say. Maybe when you marry, the Wu family is no longer a prominent family. Do you know how much you have suffered?"

Zijin nodded, and said calmly: "I know that when the glory is not there, it is very difficult to live. The Wu family is used to being rich, and if they really want to end up in exile, I can imagine what life will be like." of."

The old lady let out a long sigh, with a look of desolation on her face, "I originally wanted to find a good marriage for you, so that you would be prosperous and safe for the rest of your life, but who knows..."

"Grandmother, I know that you are doing it for my own good, and you are trying your best to find a way out for your granddaughter in marriage. This kind of thing is a natural disaster, and it is not something we can predict, nor can we resist. Zijin knows what to do, you Don't worry, no matter where you go, Zi Jin will live a good life, you won't embarrass the Yao family for you, our daughter of the Yao family can live a life of wealth and glory, but also endure poverty." Zi Jin thought to herself At any rate, he is also a person who has learned various ways of making a living. If he really becomes the bottom person, he can go into business with all his face, and he can always live a good life. When you get to that point, as long as you Straighten your spine, no one can underestimate you!

Zijin's small engagement ceremony was still lively and lively, and it was still Mrs. Liang Guogong and the third wife of the Wu family who came. When the Wu family was so turbulent, the third lady was still as calm as usual. Already worthy of respect.Mrs. Wu San waited at home all day yesterday. She thought that at this point, the Yao family would probably withdraw the engagement, so she waited at home, but she didn't expect that from the morning when the sun rose to the sunset, the Yao family did not have any After receiving the news, she felt relieved, it seemed that the Yao family's marriage would not change.

The third lady looked at Zi Jin who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "I heard that you were sick a few days ago, but you are recovering? I went back to the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago and didn't come back to see you in time. Don't worry." It's weird."

"Third Madam, don't say that. Zi Jin just caught a cold, and now she is recovering, but you are still in good health after traveling thousands of miles?" Zi Jin said hurriedly. She liked this Third Madam Wu very much. The feeling of being beautiful and beautiful.

"I'm used to running, but I'm worried about you. I brought you some small things from Jiangnan for you to play with. If it's not worth much, just look at the novelties and have a look." Mrs. Wu's tired face showed a trace of smile.

Naturally, Zi Jin thanked her, and asked the girl to take a small octagonal box handed over by the third lady's girl, and the third lady turned around to talk to the old lady and Hai Shi, while Zi Jin listened silently, The women in the backyard never discuss government affairs in an open and honest manner, so no one mentioned the matter about the Wu family. This made Mrs. Wu heave a sigh of relief, and sighed inwardly. I felt wronged by Wu Zhen, but now I don't think so. The most important thing is the character of the whole family, which is admirable.

After leaving the Yao Mansion, Mrs. Wu immediately went back to the old house of the Wu family in the capital. There were already many people waiting inside. When she saw Mrs. Wu coming back, someone greeted her. Mrs. Wu hurriedly shouted: "Second sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law, you are here too."

It was Mrs. Hou and the second Mrs. Wu from the Wu family who came, but the beaded emerald and brocade clothes they were wearing couldn't hide their haggardness.

"Third siblings, is Yao's family okay?"

"Okay, I didn't say anything about his conduct, he didn't even mention the word of retiring the engagement, and he treated me as before without any contempt. It is said that Mrs. Yao was full of crowns back then, and now the children she taught are really worthless. To put it bluntly, this is everyone's style." Mrs. Wu's mouth was full of praise.

Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and then sneered, "It's not the end of the mountain, and the Yao family can't just stop doing things at this time. You have to leave yourself behind."

Hearing the Da Furen's harsh words, the Second Madam glanced at the Third Madam and winked lightly. The Third Madam understood, and said to the Da Furen: "Sister-in-law, I'll go back and wash up first, and then I'll talk to Lord Hou later."

The eldest lady nodded, and the third lady walked towards the courtyard. The second lady followed after seeing the eldest lady enter the house.The third lady deliberately slowed down, and when the second lady caught up, she said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The second madam nodded, and the two of them entered the third madam's courtyard and sent all the maids who served at the door away. The third madam then asked, "What happened?"

The second lady's face was livid, and she gritted her teeth and said: "At this time, I only know how to put on airs and don't know how to soften my body to find out the news. I know that you have worked hard at Yao's house, and you still say such harsh words when you come back. Is it possible that we They are all cheap, so she deserves to do dishonorable things, and she should be her Madam Hou?"

The third wife seldom hears the second wife's complaints, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked: "How is the second brother and the third master going out to inquire?"

"Your second brother is looking for someone to inquire about the news, but he hits a wall everywhere. When it's good, everyone can't wait to flatter you, but now...huh!" The second lady's eyes turned red when she thought of her husband, and she looked at the third lady and said, "Three Sister, if my sister-in-law hadn't done everything wrong back then, causing Brother Zhen to hide away from his hometown and hide in the capital, you said that now as long as Brother Zhen returns to this ancestral house, it would be much easier for him to step in. This is Brother Zhen also entrusted you with the marriage. You have the best relationship with him. Why don’t you go find Brother Zhen. Forget about the past grievances. Lord Hou has promised him to marry Miss Yao Wu. At this time, he should come back The family has worked, you persuade him, we women have the means to reach the sky, but what's the use, the people who deal with outside are not men?"

The third lady held the hand of the second lady and said: "Brother Zhen has been active for a long time, but he never came back to the ancestral house, and has been meeting with Lord Hou alone outside. There are some things that Lord Hou knows more than us. This child has a heart." It's soft, I can really ignore it there, he went to do it before I opened my mouth. It would be great if Lan Niang could come to the capital this time, if Lan Niang was here, brother Zhen would not have it for his aunt's sake What a resentment."

Hearing the third lady talk about this, the second lady smiled and pointed at the eldest lady's yard, mockingly: "Sister, you came early and there are some things you don't know. Originally, this time I went to Beijing to bring Lan Niang, but That one refuses life and death, and now that our family is like this, she still wants to spend money from her aunt, and wants to play with Brother Zhen as before. However, she took away all of my son's achievements in battle, and this caused Brother Zhen to leave home. If Lan Niang was not there, Brother Zhen would have been...huh."

The third lady was taken aback for a moment, and said in shock: "You still want to play tricks on Brother Zhen if you still don't give up at this point?"

The second lady sighed helplessly, and the third lady froze, and smiled wryly, "Ah, isn't the whole family more important than her face?"

The second lady didn't speak any more. Their second and third bedrooms were just attached to the long room to beg for food. The eldest lady of the long room must not let go for the sake of face. What can they do, but their eyes turned red, and they choked up and said: "Poor My children, if it is... If something happens to them, what will they do?"

The third lady remained silent. After a while, she stood up abruptly and said, "I'm going to find Lord Hou. No matter what, I have to explain the matter. We stayed in Jiangnan for a long time, and the capital is far inferior. Brother Zhen is familiar with some things, as long as Brother Zhen is willing to do it with heart, there is still room for maneuver. Marquis Anlu rebelled, why should we also suffer? Their family is lawless in Pingchuan, but we are cautious in the southwest, God. It's unfair, how can we blame it?"

The second lady also stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Lord Hou and Marquis Anlu are brothers. Could it be that the second master and the third master are not the brothers of Lord Hou? These years guarding the coast and training sailors, the second master and the third master are brothers." Which one of you is being lazy?"

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and they made up their minds to go to Jinghaihou's place to make a fuss. The third lady went to change her clothes first, and then went to Jinghaihou's place with the second lady. Unexpectedly, Jinghaihou had just After going out, the two were taken aback, looked at Mrs. Jinghaihou and asked, "Sister-in-law, is it related to An Luhou's matter that Master Hou went out?"

Mrs. Jinghai Hou raised her head slowly upon hearing the words, and said, "No, I heard that it was Ye Tongzhi from Jinyiwei who invited me."

Jin Yiwei?Both of them trembled, Ye Tongzhi...wasn't he the one who impeached Marquis An Lu!

"I don't know why Lord Ye is looking for Master Hou..." The second lady asked softly.

Mrs. Jinghai Hou's expression was obviously not good, and she said displeasedly: "Master Hou will know when he comes back, who would know why at this time? You can't help each of you and don't make trouble. Go back. .”

Upon hearing this, the second lady was unwilling, and the anger that had been pent up for a long time finally broke out. Looking at Mrs. Jinghaihou, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Could it be that we have been busy going in and out these days?" In your eyes are all inaction? Could it be that we are not doing our best for this family? Could it be that in your eyes no matter what we do is wrong? If you were not too harsh on Lan Niang and her son, now as for Brother Zhen If you don't go home, such a big event happened at home, and you can't open your mouth if you want to ask him to do something. You clearly know that bringing Lan Niang to Beijing this time will ease the relationship with Brother Zhen. In Jiangnan, you are afraid that Lord Hou will treat Brother Zhen well, and you are afraid that Brother Zhen will take away your son's future. Now that the family is facing such a crisis, you can't even put your mind right, for the sake of the whole world. Think about it, old and young, in the clan? You poisonous woman, if something really happens, even if you die, I will hold you back..."

The third lady was stunned, and she forgot to stop the second lady in a daze. Mrs. Jinghaihou was so angry that her face was livid. Pointing at the door, tremblingly cursed, the second lady was not willing, and she became more and more pissed, "I don't know if I can keep my head tomorrow, you really think you are still as majestic as before!" Madam Hou..."

The second lady uttered what Mrs. Hou had done in these years with one mouth. The exclamation of the eldest lady in the room, the angry shout of the second lady, mixed with the persuasion of the third lady made a mess, and the dark clouds in the sky Pressing down, it seems that a heavy rain is coming, but the room is still tossing endlessly.

At this time, Mrs. Jinghaihou was facing Ye Mingxuan in a remote tavern, and the private room was silent.

Such two people who are so disharmonious meet under such circumstances, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little weird.

With Wu Zhen's magnificence, Jinghaihou is still charming in middle age, sitting there quietly looking at Ye Mingxuan, and first said: "Master Ye has deliberately planned to frame this Marquis, but now Why did you ask me out?"

"Planting? What Jing Haihou said is wrong. I don't like planting. The evidence is solid." Ye Mingxuan twitched his lips, and said: "The matter of An Luhou has been aroused since last year. You You are brothers with Marquis An Lu, so you should persuade him to turn his back on the shore, how can you condone and support him to associate with King Ni? Isn't this going to drag you into the quagmire?"

The Marquis of Jinghai said angrily: "Nonsense! This Marquis has always been upright and upright, and he does things in an upright manner. How can you allow you to slander me!"

Ye Mingxuan was not angry either, he leaned against the back of his chair and smiled mockingly: "Jing Haihou thinks I'm bored and have nothing to do? What's more, I don't have the habit of framing people!" After speaking, Ye Mingxuan took out a stack of papers and handed To Jinghaihou, looking at him with a relaxed expression.

Jinghaihou suspiciously took the paper and looked at it slowly, the more he looked at it, the more blue his face was, the veins on his face were bulging, and the corners of his forehead were throbbing faintly, it seemed that he had used a lot of effort to suppress his anger, he looked at Ye Mingxuan and asked: "Ming People don't speak in secret, since Lord Ye let Ben Hou read this, he must have something to ask, so just say it."

Ye Mingxuan liked Jinghaihou's openness very much, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and said slowly: "The confession on this confession paper is clearly written, Lord Hou's two good sons colluded with Anluhou in private, and they actually resold it. Giving the weapon to Ni Wang, such a serious crime is really going to destroy the nine clans, right? This confession was personally interrogated by my subordinates, and it fell into my hands as soon as the confession came out. Even the commander Wan Lord didn’t know .”

Jing Haihou looked at Ye Mingxuan and thought about it: "Master Ye, you mean that this confession might be destroyed? I just don't know what you want?"

"It's very simple, as long as Lord Hou agrees to cancel the marriage between Young Master Wu and the Yao family. As long as Lord Hou does it, this confession will never see the light of day." Ye Mingxuan said softly.

Jinghai Hou raised his eyebrows, and divorced?Yesterday, the Yao family in Xiaoding didn't regret the marriage because of the Wu family's difficulties, and now they are about to regret the marriage just after getting engaged...Jing Haihou looked a little embarrassed.

Ye Mingxuan originally thought that he would be able to get this confession yesterday, but who knows that the two sons of the Yao family are not cowards, and Ye Mingxuan also tried his best to pry their mouths open, so he couldn't catch up with Xiao Ding's previous confession. Marriage blocked.

Seeing that Jinghaihou was hesitant, Ye Mingxuan said again: "According to Mr. Ling's confession, there may be hundreds of people in your house who will be killed. As long as Lord Hou agrees to withdraw the engagement, I will pat my chest and promise that at least your family will be killed." Even if you are exiled, you will choose a good place. What's more, don't worry, Hou Ye, the Japanese pirates know that Hou Ye is in trouble, and they will definitely have another heart. When the coast is restless, you are afraid that there will be no day to turn around? And Hou I'm afraid that Grandpa's family is not peaceful, so it's better to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify it, people must not only be able to withstand riches and nobles, but also poor and humble, right?"

Jinghaihou looked at Ye Mingxuan coldly, "According to this, I still have to thank Mr. Ye?"

"No, there's no need. In fact, Lord Hou, don't blame me for being cruel. If you don't do such a disobedient thing, how can I catch it? I heard that when I fought against the Japanese pirates, it was Wu who led the army. Third son, but it seems that he was not the one who was rewarded by the court, this crime of deceiving the king... Lord Hou should think about it carefully, since I know about this matter, it can be seen that there are quite a few people who know about it."

Jinghaihou's expression was extremely stiff, he looked at Ye Mingxuan and said, "Okay, I agree to your conditions, the marriage with the Yao family will be terminated, Lord Ye promised me..."

"Please rest assured, Lord Hou. At least your family's lives will be saved. I will choose a good place when I go into exile. I will definitely not let Lord Hou suffer a lot. However, I am not responsible for the military exploits. It is the Ministry of Criminal Justice." There is a special person investigating, I am just giving Hou Ye a word, some things should be prepared early, so as not to be rushed and unable to deal with it, after all, the crime of deceiving the emperor is enough to turn around." Ye Mingxuan thought of Wu Zhen when he said this, Well, he snatched Zijin back from Wu Zhen and returned his military achievements to him, which was regarded as compensation, and from then on, neither of them owed the other.

Jinghaihou's chest was heaving and unsteady, looking at Ye Mingxuan, he was so scheming at such a young age, given time... His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "Master Ye is not afraid that the day when this Marquis makes a comeback, it will be bad for you?"

All morning power outages, power outages, phone calls, I'm a crazy bird... woo woo woo...
