Blessed

Chapter 49
Wu was puzzled after scolding, and said to Chen Yan, "Look at what kind of daughter-in-law you married. She treats her too well. To be the wife of a county lieutenant, she doesn't have to do any work all day long. She eats and drinks. She can't even give birth to a child, in my opinion, she should be divorced! My son, this kind of woman should not be used to it, and she will be honest after beating her up. "

She spoke so loudly that it could be heard in the courtyard, Gui Zhi and the little maid met each other, and they were both a little worried.

Gui Zhi is Jiang Lingfang's dowry maid, and another skinny little maid named Xi Que was bought by Jiang Lingfang when she saw her pity. At that time, Magpie was dying of illness in Ren Yazi's hands. If she didn't buy it, Magpie's life was probably waiting to die.

When the magpie was bought, the Chen family had just had an accident, and Chen Yan was just a juror. His father, Chen Youwei, a doctor of law, accepted bribes and suppressed other students in the Imperial College. The incident was revealed, and Chen Youwei was imprisoned in the criminal department. In order to save him, the Chen family was desperate After digging out, it was hard to get the person out. The capital couldn't stay, so he sold his family's belongings and the house, and used all his connections to find a county lieutenant for Chen Yan in Wuguan County.

When the accident happened, she was busy for a while, and after she settled down in Wuguan County, Mrs. Wu always muttered why she bought an extra maid when she came back. Will whip a few magpies to vent their anger.

Jiang Lingfang couldn't help crying every time she secretly applied medicine to the magpie.

After all, Chen Yan is a master of juren, and he is still an official, so he dared to listen to his old lady's advice and beat his wife. If the word spread, his official position would come to an end.Besides, he hesitated for a while, and said to the Wu family, "Mother, it's not good, after all, it's Fangling's own dowry, and I heard that Yongyi's mansion can't be offended now, as if some girl was named county monarch, Fangling His nephew, Jiang Heng, also won Tanhua."

Speaking of Jiang Heng's Tanhua, both Wu and Chen Yan felt uncomfortable. Jiang Fangling was only a Jieyuan when she went back at the beginning of the year, and she won the Tanhua in the palace examination. Chen Yan, who has studied for more than ten years, still can't lift his head.

Wu sneered, "So what, if you marry into our Chen family, you will be a member of the Chen family, and you will be a ghost of the Chen family if you die."

The mother and son chattered for a long time, Chen Yan went to the wing room to look at Jiang Lingfang, and saw her sitting on the couch with a blank expression, looking at a peach tree outside the window in a daze, he sat down next to her, and persuaded, "Fangling, you Don't blame my mother, it's really difficult for the family. Since you have money, why don't you want to use it? It's a difficult time, get over it, and wait for me to transfer back to the capital. Besides, you haven't been pregnant for so many years, My mother didn't even say anything, but she took your maid as a roommate, if it was left in another house, there would have been several concubines."

That's because the Chen family couldn't even give money for concubines, Jiang Fangling sneered, she thought about the story Yuzhu told her at the beginning of the year, stared straight at Chen Yan, and said coldly, "I've heard Let me tell you such a story. 'That beautiful woman is charming and beautiful. She has been married for several years and loves her husband, but she has not conceived for several years. The mother-in-law is weeping and crying all day long...'" She did not reveal a single word Tell Chen Yan the wild story that Yuzhu told her back then, ignoring his increasingly livid face, and ask him, "Tell me, why?"

It was only a small yard, and the doors and windows in the wing room were not closed. The osmanthus twigs and magpies outside could hear clearly.

Even Mrs. Wu heard it, rushed in and slapped Jiang Fangling twice, pointed at Jiang Fangling and cursed angrily, "You dare to curse my son, let me tell you, you just don't lay eggs, even if you have physical problems, you still If you dare to blame it on my son, I will kill you..."

After speaking, there were several slaps, Guizhi and Magpie rushed in to stop them, and they were also kicked a few times.

Jiang Fangling prostrated on the couch, clenched her fists tightly, her face was burning with pain, when Wu Shi finally subsided, she straightened up, and said coldly, "I want to divorce, your Chen family will return the dowry and 300 taels of silver to me. , I want to reconcile."

When she came back from her natal home, thoughts of He Li popped up in her mind from time to time, but she never really made a decision. It was only at this moment that she thought clearly that she wanted to leave this cage.

Wu sneered, "It's beautiful to think, you were born as a member of our Chen family, and died as a ghost of the Chen family. From now on, you will stay in the room honestly, and you are not allowed to go out even a single step!"

When everyone went out, Wu locked the door and sent a woman to guard it.

This wait lasted for a month, and Jiang Fangling was not allowed to leave the room even if she took a single step. She ate, drank, and messed up in the room. She didn't want to sit and wait for death. At this moment, she and the two maids couldn't compete with the Chen family. She had to ask her mother's family for help. She wrote In a letter, the specific things that happened during these days are written clearly, without any details.After writing a full four pages, she also said that if she could not leave the Chen family, the only way for her to escape was death.

Wrote it and sealed it, and handed it to Magpie, telling her to send the letter out and find someone to send it back to the uncle's residence.

Mrs. Wu is still a little afraid of imprisoning her daughter-in-law. She is afraid that it will be spread, and she is also afraid that people in the uncle's house will find out. Walking around in the yard, the magpie secretly handed over the letter while there was no one around.

During the month of being imprisoned, Jiang Fangling couldn't help thinking, how did it become like this? When her mother told her about the Chen family, she also sent someone to inquire about the situation of the Chen family before entering the Chen family. She and Chen Yan also lived with Meimei After a while, Chen Yan was gentle and gentle, and Wu's family was strict but would not do evil intentionally. Why did it become like this? Is it because the accumulation of hatred is too deep, and everyone has become hateful?
Yuzhu was present, and after hearing what the old lady said, she couldn't help but gasp, how dare the Chen family imprison the little aunt?She trembled a little with anger, she really wished she could slap Na Wushi a few times in the presence.

At this moment, even the three old grandpas came back from the yamen on leave. When they heard about this kind of thing, all three of them were very angry. It was Eldest Jiang Jiang Anwen who asked the old lady, "Mother, what are your plans?"

Jiang Heng sat on the chair and beat the table, and said with a sneer, "Uncle, what else do you plan to do? Naturally, everyone will go to the Chen family to pick up the little aunt, and beat the Chen family, and treat our Jiang family as a bully! How dare you imprison little aunt." Brother Heng, who is usually sweet and polite, was furious. He served as a seven-rank reviewer in the Imperial Academy, mastered the history of the country, and knew many officials. Layers of skin.

Jiang Jin from the third room also nodded, agreeing with what the second brother said.

At the beginning of the year, the old lady was still looking forward to her daughter going back to the Chen family to live a good life, recover and give birth to a fat boy.Now looking at the words and sentences of my daughter's heartbroken tears in the letter, my heart feels like being cut by a knife. How can I say something to let her continue to live? Isn't that forcing my daughter to die?

That's also the little girl she brought up, a girl who has grown into a slim girl, watching her get married and wishing her happiness, how could she bear to watch her pampered daughter continue to stay in that pit of fire.

The old lady cried sadly, "Go and bring Fangling back, even if I keep her for the rest of my life, I don't want her to be spoiled like this by the Chen family, it's a crime."

Jiang Ansu pursed his lips, with a calm expression, "Let's discuss the details, and we will definitely not spare the Chen family easily."

The unreliable Jiang Anshan also agreed, "Mother, I'll go with you this time. Fangling dare not kick that old lady, but I want to kick her hard."

Jiang Anwen glared at his second brother, "Don't be foolish, you are Fangling's elder brother after all, and that old woman is the elder, if you kick her up, Fangling's reputation will not be good."

Jiang Anshan snorted, "I'm so scared!"

Yu Zhu'er has been huddled in Mu's arms, but now she has some thoughts, tugged on Mu's sleeves, and asked softly, "Mother, can I go to the Duke's Mansion now?"

Mrs. Mu thought that she was a child by nature and wanted to go to the Duke's mansion to play, and said in a low voice, "Jiao Jiao, mother has something to do, you went out to find licorice, how about letting her take you to the Duke's mansion?"

Yuzhu nodded, "Okay."

She and Shen Mei are good friends in the boudoir, and they often visit each other. They don't need to post posts on weekdays, and they can go in just by sending a message directly to the house.

Licorice led Yuzhu into the carriage and went to the Duke's Mansion. She refrained from asking along the way, thinking that the girl might have something to do at the Duke's Mansion.

It is true that Yuzhu is going to the Duke's mansion for business.

The gate of the Duke's Mansion would not be opened easily. Every time Yuzhu entered through the side door, she got out of the carriage and knocked on the copper ring. He also smiled and said, "It's been a long time since the Lord of Fuchang County came. The little princess is very worried about it. Today, the Lord of the County is here."

The little princess is practicing calligraphy at the moment. She is six years old and has begun to learn. She reads to the teacher for two hours a day and practices calligraphy for half an hour. She is lying in front of the desk and writing. If you don't want to write well, you have to touch the inkstone on the desk when you write a few, or you will yell that you are hungry and want snacks.

Hanxiao was very helpless, and if the prince knew about it, the princess would be punished again.

Hearing that Yuzhu was coming, the little princess was very happy. She threw away Langhao and ran out with the corner of her skirt. Seeing Yuzhu's serious expression, she paused her footsteps and asked, "Yuzhu, what's the matter with you? Is someone bullying you?" is you?"

Yuzhu took Shen Mei's hand and said, "Meier, I need to borrow some guards from your brother."

Yes, she came to ask Shen Xian to borrow bodyguards, and the distance to Wuguan County is not too short, and it would take a day and a night to go fast, grandparents would definitely not be able to bear it, no matter whether uncles, uncles or fathers and brothers went, they would not It may be that the old woman is too low in seniority to be able to touch the old woman, but it is different if the guards of the Duke's Mansion beat the old woman and she has nothing to say.Furthermore, the family is full of civil servants and has no force value. After all, Wuguan County is the territory of the Chen family, so I borrow a few guards just in case.

Shen Mei was stunned, "Yuzhu, what are you doing with the guards? Did something happen to your family? Don't be afraid, I will take you to my elder brother right now. Don't worry, no matter what happens, my elder brother can help you." It's settled."
