Carpenter's Lady

Chapter 49

Mrs. Zheng looked at her grandson standing in front of her, and finally couldn't help persuading her again: "A Ling, your mother is my own daughter, and I love her dearly, but she endured everything for you. Once a paper of complaint is handed over to the governor of the state, you have to completely break away from the Wu family!"

The Wu Dynasty followed a law of the previous dynasty: "The son sues the father, the stick is thirty, and the family is expelled"!Once A Ling really confirmed the fact that he sued Wu Yuansheng, every plant and tree in the Wu family would have nothing to do with him.

"Grandmother, I'm not too curious about the Wu family's genealogy. My mother was bullied at the Wu family because I couldn't leave the family. I was young at that time and didn't understand her concerns. Otherwise, I would have persuaded her to return home with Li." Home!"

The old lady sighed, and said: "A Ling, since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. The Zheng family failed to make decisions for your mother at the beginning, so you must not be bullied again this time! The property of the Wu family is yours. It's not rare, but your mother's dowry has to be taken back no matter what!" It was prepared by her and the old man for 15 years for the daughter, it's not cheap, that bastard!When Ah Ling disappeared, it was said that the kidnappers took the money and did not keep their promises. She fell on the bed when her daughter died, and was shocked to hear that Ah Ling was kidnapped. It's as cheap as the Wu family!
"Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely get back my mother's dowry!" The first time that prostitute came to my mother's room to pick up things, my mother would stay silent, but she often heard her mother's crying at night.In these years, it is not that he has never complained about her for being so cowardly and allowing a concubine to bully her. If she had been tougher and more arrogant back then, she would not have died in vain later, and he would not have been left in exile. street.It's just that she was the mother who gave birth to him, raised him and loved him!
On the second day, Wu Ling rang the big drum in front of the Yamen of the state capital. Ming Hao, the lord of the state government, had heard the report from his subordinates yesterday, and was waiting for Wu Ling in the Yamen this morning. Let the yamen servant tell Wu Ling to come in.

Ming Hao twirled the jade finger on his thumb, recalling the secret letter he received in the middle of the night a few days ago, and his thoughts were confused for a while.Seeing that the yamen servant had brought Wu Ling in, he regained his composure.

"My lord, bring Wu Ling here!"

Ming Hao straightened his body, glanced at the little man standing under the hall, saw his delicate features, eyebrows raised slightly, standing there tall and straight with a height of seven feet, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a handsome man." Good looks.

Wu Ling also quietly looked at the person sitting behind the desk, and saw that he was about forty or so, with a stern face, and a pair of eyes that looked like they could spy on people's hearts, and they were slightly closed.Then I heard the person above say coldly:

"Yesterday, I heard from the guards patrolling the city that you are going to sue my father. Do you have a pleading paper?"

Wu Ling hurriedly collected his thoughts, and said solemnly: "It's ready, please take a look at it, sir!"

The master next to him took it and handed it up with both hands.

As soon as Minghao unfolded it, he saw the sharpness of the pen and the beautiful and square font, unlike the previous litigators' writing, he knew it was written by the Zheng family.There were actually ten sheets of rice paper in such an eloquent way, I browsed through them roughly, and asked, "According to what you said, where are the witnesses and evidence?"

No matter how prepared Wu Yuansheng was, he still couldn't help but tremble when he heard the summon from the government office.Yang's heart was also abrupt, but she still didn't forget to apply the eye medicine in time and said: "Master, I didn't expect that this child, A Ling, would actually have such a vicious heart. Since ancient times, no son has ever sued his father. I haven’t seen it in the storybook, even if you are wrong in every possible way, it’s something between you and his father and son, it’s a waste of the master to miss him so much for the past 13 years! You’re really a white-eyed wolf!”

"Father, it's not certain that the elder brother has some difficulties. Don't get angry, go over and listen to what the elder brother has to say. After all, we haven't seen each other for 13 years. There may be some misunderstanding!" Wu Zhiyuan frowned and said cautiously. .

Wu Yuansheng glanced at the concubine and the charming girl, and saw one with an angry face, and the other seemed worried, so he shifted his gaze to the concubine's face, "Ah Tan, what do you think?"

Wu Tan tightened his hands, pondered for a while and said: "I don't want this to be true, you are my biological father, and my elder brother is my biological elder brother, I only hope that our family can live in harmony. Seeing his father nodding his head, Wu Tan loosened his clenched hands slightly.He knew the news about Wu Ling earlier than his father, but he hadn't found the opportunity to act. But now that Wu Ling is in front of his father, there is no need for him to act. Back then, his father was able to let him go. This time, he had to break his muscles and bones!
Uncle Wu knew well the duties of a housekeeper, he stood outside the door as if he hadn't heard anything.Seeing Ali on the door rushing over, he went down the steps and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Old butler, the servants are urging you again! Look at this?"

"Okay, you go there first! The master will come out soon!" Uncle Wu waved his hand.

Ali saw that the old housekeeper had given him the right words, so he went back to work again.

Uncle Wu sighed, it was unbelievable, there really was a son suing Lao Tzu, if the old man found out, he would have jumped out of the coffin!Seeing that Mrs. Yang was still chatting with the master inside, she stood outside the door and reminded politely: "Master, the yamen servant outside asked you when can you go?"

"Let them wait, these bastards have come to Wu's mansion to show their prestige!" Yang said impatiently, raising her handkerchief.She didn't remember at all that she was outside the clothing store, she almost hugged his thigh and begged them to make decisions.

Wu Yuansheng glanced at the old butler standing outside the door, knowing that there was an urgent call from outside, he got up and said, "You don't need to worry, I'll come as soon as I go!"

However, Wu Yuansheng's visit was not for a short while, nor for a day or two, but for two years.

At this time, Yang Xing looked at the backs of Wu Yuansheng and Uncle Wu one after the other. It is better to drive away this ignorant Uncle Wu as soon as possible!

"Mother, where did you get Miss Wu Ling's dowry?" Wu Tan asked with a frown.

Mrs. Yang sat on the front seat of the yellow pear wood, wrapped her skirt, and said indifferently: "I don't know, who of you took a fancy to something, didn't you just take it away? The rest is not in my private room. Curry!"

Wu Tan choked with Yang's indifference, and said coldly, "It's good for mother to know, if this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid mother can't get away." Born as a skinny horse, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. When encountering a little trouble, he really can't count on it at all!
Yang looked at his son who was leaving the house with his sleeves flung, pointed at his back with his bright fingers dyed with impatiens, and complained to his daughter: "Look, look, what kind of attitude is your brother! I'm so used to it!" You!" The Mo family's sons are not obedient to the old lady, but after all, they were born by themselves, and Yang Shi was reluctant to scold him, complained a few words, and then let go.

"Mother, what do you think about the Zheng family's dowry?" She has been with her mother longer than her elder brother. Mother grew up in the Goulan field since she was a child, and she cherishes herself the most. How could she really treat her like that? It doesn't matter what matters!

Sure enough, Yang's apricot eyes rolled, and she smiled and said: "It's still my daughter who understands, those, I shipped them out 800 years ago, except for a few exquisite ones, I kept them for you to play with, the rest, It's been sold for a lot of money!" She really thought Yang Xing was stupid, she would always hold such a hot potato in her hand.

Seeing her daughter looking at herself in disbelief, she said again: "Don't worry, your father knows about this." Yang said the last sentence, looked at her daughter's examining eyes, felt guilty, covered her mouth and said no more .

The mother and daughter chatted while eating candied fruit in the front hall. Within a moment, Uncle Wu rushed over again. Mrs. Yang frowned in annoyance, and reprimanded angrily: "I said housekeeper, if you have nothing to do, don't go there." My eyes turned, and it made me dizzy!"

Uncle Wu stood at the door without changing his face, and said calmly: "Aunt Yang, the governor of the state sent someone to ask you to go over and ask questions, and the yamen servant is waiting at the door! You should hurry up!"

Wu Zhiyuan frowned secretly. How dare this old man haven't called his mother "Auntie" for more than ten years. Who knows that if his mother was born as a skinny horse and couldn't straighten her up, she would have been the righteous wife of the Wu family. In this way, who doesn't call mother "Mrs. Yang" inside and outside, this old housekeeper is sure that mother is going to be bad this time?
At this time, Mrs. Yang is not in the mood to worry about Uncle Wu's "Aunt Yang", why didn't the master convince the governor of the state?Want to pass her over for questioning?I wanted to ask the old housekeeper a few words, but seeing him standing there straight like a wooden stake, I still couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Hey! Look at the housekeeper's appearance, it is sure that I, Yang Xing, will not be able to step into the gate of the Wu family. gone?"

"Aunt Yang is worrying too much. The yamen servants are still waiting, so Aunt Yang should go there first!"

When Yang heard about the yamen servant, she panicked and stopped fighting with the old housekeeper. She took her daughter's hand and said, "Quick, go find your brother!" A negotiable person is not!

"Master Tan went to the East Street just now, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while!" Just as Wu Zhiyuan took a step, the old butler said slowly.

"Oh, what can I do! If I, a woman, go to court, I won't have the face to see other wives in the future!" Mrs. Yang tugged on her handkerchief, and her forehead started to pimple in a hurry. Beads of sweat and tears in his eyes.

Wu Zhiyuan's eyes darkened, she was at the juncture of discussing marriage, and she couldn't let her mother be talked about, she glanced at the old butler who had nothing to do with her, and said, "Uncle Wu, Daddy and elder brother are not at home, and Zhiyuan begged The old housekeeper made an idea on behalf of our mother and daughter, mother must not take this trip, and when father comes back, father will definitely let father thank you old man!"

Uncle Wu glanced at Wu Zhiyuan, and immediately bowed his waist to return the salute: "Miss is really a shameful old slave, I, a servant, can't say anything about this government affairs!"

Wu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked at the old housekeeper fixedly, his eyes under the long eyelashes were filled with darkness!
