Concubine

Chapter 165
Yang Qingshui said sadly: "Master Yang, you don't know the whole story. My wife, Mrs. Zhou, is the daughter of Mr. Zhou, the deputy director of the Yangzhou Salt Department. After giving birth to a son for our Yang family, I can no longer take a concubine. Even if I can’t give birth to a son, I can’t take a concubine until I’m 40.”

"Damn, what kind of rules are these!" Yang Qiuchi was indignant, "If you marry a daughter, you can marry a daughter, and you still have to set such restrictions, what are you doing?"

Yang Qingshui heard this, although he didn't know what this "dongdong" was, he was probably speaking for himself, and immediately felt a sense of knowledge, moved in his heart, and echoed: "Yes, but this marriage is decided by parents. Yes, father and mother agreed, and I can't help it."

Song Tongzhi interjected: "Well, since the two parties have agreed, then you, if you take the Guo family home, if you violate, violate the agreement between the two families, it is your fault, it is wrong."

"Lord Song doesn't know something," Yang Qingshui said, "It wasn't long after I got married to Mrs. Zhou, my father-in-law Zhou was impeached and dismissed from office after he promoted Lord Zhou."

So it turns out that Zhou's father was an official, and the vice-president of the Salt Department was from Qipin in the Ming Dynasty. His father is dismissed from office now, and the backstage is gone. The Yang family wants to break the contract, and the Zhou family can't do anything about it.

Because the Zhou family's original agreement was too harsh and even unreasonable, if the Yang family wanted to break the contract, they would not receive too much criticism from the world.It's just that Mr. Yang has the final say on whether to break the contract or not.With his father still alive, he, Yang Qingshui, has no autonomy.

Yang Qiuchi understood a little bit, and said: "You want to use the matter of collecting debts for your father to please your father and make him agree to you taking a concubine?"

Yang Qingshui nodded: "Yes, I am the son of Yang's parents. My wife, Mrs. Zhou, gave birth to a daughter in her first child, and she never had another child. My parents also hope to have incense sooner, so I guess they will agree. I didn't expect... I didn't expect..." At this point, Yang Qingshui felt a little sad and couldn't continue.

Yang Qiuchi waited for him to calm down before asking, "What's wrong?"

"Unexpectedly, when I received the bill from Yangzhou, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo has become my third aunt."

Although this result was known before, Yang Qiuchi was still very surprised: "Your father actually took the Guo family you brought back as a concubine, really..." It involves elders, so it is not easy to comment too much.

Yang Qingshui looked sad, still in the sadness of the past.

Song Tongzhi was also a little surprised when he heard it. It's fine that Mrs. Yang didn't want to break the contract and didn't agree with his son to take a concubine. How could he accept the woman his son brought back as a concubine?

But then again, since you, Yang Qingshui, cannot accept Guo as a concubine, Mrs. Yang accepts her. To use a metaphor that may not be appropriate, this is called fat water not flowing to outsiders.It's just that father and son rob women, which is too disgusting.

Yang Qingshui continued: "After I came back and found out about this, I cried a lot. My father saw that I was pitiful, so he took the initiative to say that the Zhou family's oath was not to be kept, and I could take a concubine at any time. But I was annoyed This Mrs. Guo broke her promise and married my father instead. She was disheartened and had no intention of taking a concubine. Secondly, my wife has been obstructing it, so until now, this concubine has not been accepted.

Luo Xiancheng already has a general understanding of this case. The officer is here, and he has never dared to intervene casually. He is more concerned about the case of killing the third concubine. Hearing this, he couldn't help but finally said: "It seems that it was you Angry but Guo Shi betrayed you and married your father, so you kill her to vent your anger!"

Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, this Luo Xiancheng was really subjective, almost as good as himself.Said: "Master Luo's words are wrong. If Yang Qingshui wanted to take revenge, he would not be able to endure it for a year. He will wait for Mrs. Guo to give birth to a son before revenge and murder."

Having said that, I thought in my heart that this kind of possibility is not impossible. If Yang Qingshui is deeply engraved with this kind of hatred, and it is so big that he can only vent his anger by killing people, the time is not ripe, and he can still endure it. However, if he can bear the hatred It took a year to put it into practice, and the depth of the city is probably rare in the world.

Luo Xiancheng didn't dare to defend Yang Qiuchi's rebuttal, but he couldn't express his thoughts in his heart, and his face was flushed.

Yang Qiuchi smiled and asked Luo Xiancheng: "Are you thinking that maybe he became mad and murdered to vent his anger after seeing Mrs. Guo and his father have a child?"

This is exactly what Luo Xiancheng thought in his heart, and he nodded involuntarily.Yang Qiuchi turned to look at Yang Qingshui and said, "You should answer this question yourself."

Yang Qingshui said: "Three adults, in fact, although I am annoyed with her, I don't hate her. I know she has nothing to do. Moreover, she and I haven't known each other for long, and we can't talk about how deep our relationship is. From her point of view, it is enough to marry a wealthy family, age is not important, anyway, she is a concubine, she may think that in this family, marrying my father is much better than marrying me."

Yang Qiuchi agreed: "Yes, but she didn't consider that Grandma and Second Aunt would not let her have a good life."

"Actually, even if he marries me, he may not have a good life. My wife Zhou..." Yang Qingshui stopped talking at this point.

"Sister-in-law Zhou? What's wrong with her?" Yang Qiuchi asked, "Could it be that she can't tolerate Third Aunt Guo?"

Having said all this, Yang Qingshui thought about it, and decided to continue: "My wife knew that I brought Mrs. Guo back as a concubine. The fault of the third aunt, my mother, the second aunt, and Ai Xiao and the others all tortured her in different ways."

"After the third aunt became pregnant, they were afraid that the third aunt would give birth to a young master, so they specifically kicked her belly, trying to kick out the child in her belly. The third aunt told my father, but my father didn't believe it. Fortunately, Steward Pang was more generous and had Once I saw them kicking and beating the third aunt, I secretly told old Mrs. Yang, and they were caught on the spot."

"Old Master Yang was very angry, and said that if the third aunt had a miscarriage, not only would they be punished with family law, but they would also be sued to the government to punish them. They restrained themselves a little."

"Later, they did one thing to the face and the other to the other: when my father was around, they were very kind to Third Auntie, and they didn't treat her like a human being without my father's back. Fortunately, my father had spoken beforehand, so they didn't dare to beat her anymore. Shan'er was born safely. Unexpectedly, she still did not escape the poisonous hands of the second aunt Zhang. This woman is really vicious."

"They beat the third aunt. I was angry at first but I still stood up for the third aunt. I didn't expect the second aunt to tell my father that I stood up for the third aunt. As a result, I was severely beaten by my father with family law. It took more than a month to get out of bed. From then on, I dare not take care of their affairs."

Song Yun'er hated this kind of thing the most, and asked, "Then the old man doesn't know what's going on behind their backs?"

"Why don't you know, but what can my father do? It's impossible for him to guard the third aunt every day. Besides, what can she do with my mother and the second aunt? The palms and backs of the hands are all fleshy, and it hurts on both sides ah."

That's true, but Song Yun'er was still a little bit aggrieved, and looked at him contemptuously: "Don't tell me you just let them torture Third Aunt like this? After all, you brought her home."

"What can I do? Later, when I saw that she was being bullied terribly, I secretly told her to let her escape, but she refused, saying that since she married my father, she would accept life and death."

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Third Aunt Falun hugged you and promised you everything. Could it be that you want to let her go?" Go, she just goes, there is no need to promise anything!"

Yang Qingshui's thin face was slightly flushed, and he said: "In order for you to catch the real culprit and avenge Third Aunt, I'd better tell the truth."

After a pause, I continued blushing: "At that time, I told Third Aunt not only to let her go, but also to give her a sum of money to hide in Yingtian Mansion. But she refused, saying that she would rather let them beat him to death than lose this man. Moreover, she hoped that if she could help my father give birth to a son, she would not suffer this kind of pain again. "

I understand, it must be that the third aunt was bullied miserably at the old man Yang's house, so when she heard Yang Qingshui say that she would hide her in the golden house, she didn't agree on the surface, but deep down she agreed, so, after she When I was infatuated with nympho, I lost my rationality, and then I couldn't help but speak out the thoughts in my heart.

Yang Qiuchi said: "There is a question that is a little hard to say, but I have to ask. I hope my cousin will not be offended."

Yang Qingshui bowed slightly: "Master Yang is serious. I will tell you the truth."

"After the third aunt married the old lady, do you still have that kind of relationship with her... with her?" Yang Qiuchi couldn't find any more obscure words, so he could only ask vaguely.Fortunately, this kind of thing makes it easy to understand what it means.

Yang Qingshui's face turned red all of a sudden, and then he said solemnly: "Of course not, I, Yang Qingshui, know very well the principles of ethics, propriety, righteousness and shame, how could I do such things that are inferior to pigs and dogs! I have always respected and dared not go overboard!"

Song Tongzhi snorted: "Say, it's nice to say, then why are you still preparing money, Jinwu Zangjiao?"

Yang Qingshui's face turned even redder, and he lowered his head and said, "That's right, that's what I rashly brought up because I saw that the third aunt was tortured to death by them, but I'm just saying that, absolutely nothing happened to her. Things!"

"For example, if she agrees to elope with you, then, wouldn't that be the case?" Song Tongzhi still clung to her.

"I was confused for a while, but fortunately she didn't agree, otherwise, I, I would have fallen into a situation where I would never recover. However, I really didn't have that kind of unethical thing with her. It's true, please be careful, my lord. "

Yang Qingshui's statement is very credible. Under the same roof, if he dares to have an affair with his father's concubine, how shrewd old Mrs. Yang is, he will definitely not be able to escape his eyes.

It's not that there are no women in the world. As the eldest son of the Yang family and the future heir of the Yang family, Yang Qingshui is as clear as a mirror in his heart. How could he make such a low-level mistake?
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the two to commit adultery for a long time. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that the two have a one-night stand while the old man is away. Therefore, it is still possible that Shan'er was born to Yang Qingshui and the third concubine.

Song Tongzhi still had a question that was not clear, and asked, "Since you said that you didn't kill San Yiniang, then after San Yiniang died, why did you run away?"

Yang Qingshui said: "I didn't run, but hid."

Why did this man talk so upside down?Is there any real difference between running and hiding?Since you don't admit that you killed someone, you don't need to run or hide.Song Tongzhi also asked strangely: "Then, why are you hiding?"

"I saw ghosts too!" After almost two years, Yang Qingshui still showed a frightened expression when he said it at this moment, which shows the degree of fright he was frightened at that time. That night, that is, the night my father saw a ghost, I saw a ghost too!"

Song Yun'er has been a little frightened by the haunting for the past two days, and now she heard that Yang Qingshui also saw a ghost, and she was even more frightened, and asked, "Could it be, did you also see the ghost of Third Aunt standing beside your bed?" See you smile?"

Yang Qingshui shook his head: "It would be great if that's the case, I'm hoping to see her ghost."

He stared straight ahead, as if he saw the horrible thing again, "I couldn't sleep that day, and the voice and smile of Third Auntie seemed to be right in front of my eyes. She died, and I realized how much I cared about her." .”

At this moment, when Yang Qingshui talked about Third Aunt, it was as if he was talking about his lover, not his father's concubine.

"But her ghost didn't come to me. What I saw that day was a real ghost! Although she was dressed in white like the third aunt, she was a ghost. The skin on her face seemed to melt, falling off piece by piece. The nose, mouth, ears, and eyeballs fell down one by one, and finally turned into a bloody skull, and I finally fainted from fright."

After hearing Yang Qingshui's description, Yang Qiuchi's heart skipped a beat, why is it so similar to his hallucination?Could it be that Yang Qingshui was also drugged with hallucinogenic drugs?And the hallucinogenic drugs are stronger than Old Master Yang, so what Old Master Yang sees is the normal third concubine, just like the first time he took the hallucinogenic drugs.As for Yang Qingshui and himself, the hallucinogenic drugs that were administered later this time had to be given in large doses to see the ghost.

It seems that someone wanted to harm Yang Qingshui, not with poison, but with hallucinogenic drugs, causing Yang Qingshui to have terrifying hallucinations and scaring him to death.

Yang Qiuchi questioned Yang Qingshui: "Then did you see the ghost afterward?"

"No, because after that time, I never dared to stay here again. If I did it again, I would be scared to death. In addition, after the death of Third Aunt, I walked in this yard without her everywhere. Every scene can evoke my painful thoughts, I can't bear this kind of torture anymore, so I left the village the next day under the pretext of studying abroad. Fortunately, after leaving the village, I never I've seen that horrible ghost."

Fortunately, Yang Qingshui escaped this catastrophe by leaving the village, but now that he is back, why didn't the person who gave him the hallucinogenic drug didn't continue to do so?Probably because of his arrival, this person needs to deal with himself first. Anyway, Yang Qingshui is from this family and cannot escape.

If what Yang Qingshui said earlier is true, he thinks about Third Aunt everywhere, and even got beaten up by his father for helping her.Then he wouldn't have enough motivation to kill Third Concubine.

It seems that it is the same person who administered the hallucinogenic drugs. This person gave himself hallucinogenic drugs to scare himself away, and drugged Third Auntie to make her lose her mind so that she could kill her (unexpectedly, it accidentally triggered her flower. dementia), the purpose of drugging Mrs. Yang is not very clear.

But why did this person want to kill Yang Qingshui?If Yang Qingshui dies, what good will it do for this person?

family property?Is it to fight for family property?

Kill Yang Qingshui, and then kill the young master Shan'er, who will get the property?Only the second concubine's daughter, Yang Aixiao, was left.Could it be that Yang Aixiao and her mother did all of this?

Why did Yang Aixiao not come out of the cabinet at the age of 17?Is it to wait for the inheritance?A light flashed in Yang Qiuchi's head, as if he saw the hope of solving the case right in front of him.

Now to seize this inspiration, first determine whether Yang Aixiao is suspected of a crime, and then go back and interrogate his sister-in-law Zhou to investigate and confirm whether Yang Qiuchi was at home that night.

Yang Qiuchi asked Yang Qingshui to retreat from the hall, and asked the police to bring Yang Aixiao.

Yang Aixiao's mother was arrested, and she no longer had the mood to laugh.Now that the official called her to ask questions, she was very nervous, wondering if her mother's affairs involved her, and she was terrified. Seeing Song Tongzhi sitting on the top of the hall, she was even more frightened, and she was about to kneel down when her knees softened. .

Yang Qiuchi made a gesture to stop her: "This is not in a serious yamen, so my cousin doesn't have to perform this big ceremony." Let her sit down on the chair where Yang Qingshui was sitting just now.

This Yang Aixiao is Yang Qiuchi's cousin, so there is no need to be so polite, so Yang Qiuchi asked directly: "Cousin, what were you doing the night Third Aunt died?"

"I'm sleeping in my mother's room." Yang Aixiao said in a low voice.

"In your mother's room? Don't you have a small yard yourself?"

Yang Aixiao looked a little flustered, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Yang Qiuchi didn't want to get angry with her, so he looked at Song Tongzhi.Song Tongzhi understood, his face darkened, and he shouted: "Yang Aixiao, I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"

Yang Aixiao was taken aback, it was clearly asked by her cousin Yang Qiuchi just now, why did you ask it?But the master was angry, she dared not say a word, and quickly replied: "Yes, I was talking in my mother's room that night. It was late, and I didn't go back."

"Speak? Say, what are you talking about?" Song Tongzhi asked in a deep voice.

Yang Aixiao hesitated again and did not answer.
