Chapter 39 Magpie Bridge Immortal (8)

Wei Rutao and the others looked at each other, but no one asked whether it was appropriate to go to the Lang's house in the middle of the night, and they didn't go back to the front yard, but went directly to the Lang's house from the backyard.Although the stone road was tortuous, it paled in comparison to this incident. The group of people walked for a while in the dark to arrive at Lang's house.Uncle Zhou stepped forward and knocked on the door, the night was rippling under his beating, and the surrounding darkness rippled like a tidal wave.

The members of the Lang family were startled awake, and someone shouted from inside the door: "Who is it?" Then they stomped over and opened the door.

The door opened, and people from the Wei family rushed in. The person who opened the door was taken aback. After seeing who came in, he said in shock, "Master Wei, you... what are you going to do?!"

This person was the one who had been talking behind Lang Dong's house all the time, and he was also the one who claimed to have seen Xiuhong let Wei Zhiyan in through the back door. He saw Wei's family fighting openly, and thought it was because they were upset that Wei Zhiyan was sunk by Lang's family and attacked at night. Hastily yelled: "Boss! The Wei family is here for revenge!"

Hearing this, the members of the Lang family put on their clothes and rushed out. The Lang family also hurried out of the inner courtyard. Seeing that only a few old and weak women and children had come to the Wei family, they couldn't help being startled, and cupped their hands at Wei Rutao: "Master Wei is in the middle of the night!" Come to my Lang's house, what do you want?"

Wei Rutao also bowed his hand to return the salute: "I disturbed Mr. Lang's family in the middle of the night. The Wei family didn't come here for revenge. It's just that there may be something strange about the relationship between the dog and the daughter-in-law, so Wei Mouren wanted to find out."

"What happened last night was that we caught the rape in bed, what else could be wrong?" The person who opened the door saw the few people who came in, and thought to himself that if he wanted to go to someone's house to make trouble, he would never call such a few people, so His tone wasn't that aggressive anymore.

"At that time, you were the one who saw Xiuhong put Zhiyan in through the back door, and led him into her room?" Zhou Zhi'er looked at the man coldly and asked.

"That's right!" The man did not show weakness under Zhou Zhi'er's cold gaze, and said with his head held high, "I am the nursing home of Lang's family. I discovered this while patrolling the backyard in the middle of the night. I didn't say anything at the time, but I just quietly told my boss. If my family angers me because of this, I'm not afraid."

"No one wants to blame you." Wei Rutao glanced at him coldly, turned his head and said to Lang Dong's family, "But this matter is not what you think."

"Oh, people are caught on the bed, it's not like that, what is it like?" Lang Dong's family asked for advice, "Master Wei, please tell us how ugly Yinmao is, so that our Lang family can open their eyes."

Wei Rutao ignored his sarcasm, but told about the note. Hearing that, Lang's family gradually opened their mouths, and Lang's family still couldn't believe it, and said suspiciously: "This matter can be so coincidental, it won't happen. Was it fabricated by your Wei family?"

Before the people from the Wei family could speak, the person who spoke just now shuddered and said, "Dong...Dong family, what they said may be true..."

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, the man looked around guiltily, and seemed to feel that this matter was being manipulated by some hidden force, and couldn't help but tremble a little: "That note was the one I sent to Wei's house. Yes, I remember that the note was indeed not given to Young Master Wei, but to a maid."

"That's right, that's right, you were the one who sent the note at that time!" Ye'er also yelled hastily, "You also drank wine at that time, and the smell of alcohol in your mouth, I wanted to tell you to wait for the young master, but you Just stuffed the note to me, turned around and left."

The man was a little embarrassed, and said: "At that time, I was drinking with a few helpers at home, but the young lady suddenly asked me to go to the backyard. After I went, I saw her and the young lady of the Wei family begging for luck in the courtyard. They both seemed to be drinking. I drank some wine. The young lady handed me a note and asked me to send it to Wei’s house for Young Master Wei. I couldn’t read, so I took the note and didn’t read what was written on it, so I went to Wei’s house. Home, it was not Young Master Wei who received me, because I came out after drinking halfway, so I was in a hurry to go back and drink, so I gave her the note, and turned back by myself."

When Lang Dong's family heard the words, they didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, they said: "So, this matter is a coincidence?"

"No!" Zhou Zhi'er shook her head and said, "Zhiyan came to Lang's house by accident, but why did Xiuhong lead him to her room? There must be something strange about this."

"If that's the case." The face of Lang Dong's family turned blue and white, "Master Wei came to the backyard of Lang's family by accident, but finally appeared in Xiuhong's house. What else could be the reason for this? It's just Xiuhong making mistakes , lured him into the house, and finally seduced him again."

He said with a long sigh, "I thought that Master Wei could not shirk this matter, but who knew that there were such twists and turns. Master Wei, this matter was at fault with Lang's family, and Master Wei has already gone. Please say No matter how much you get, it won't help, you... If you want my Lang family to make any compensation, I will say nothing."

Zhou Zhi'er must have thought that Wei Zhiyan would not be seduced, but why Wei Zhiyan appeared on Xiuhong's bed in the end seems to be the only explanation.In fact, she might have thought of this truth a long time ago, but she didn't want to believe it. Seeing Mr. Lang's words at this time, her face twitched slightly, obviously her heart was in extreme pain.

Both the Lang and Wei families felt that the matter seemed to be settled on this basis. Although Wei Zhiyan was seduced by Xiuhong, he could not be said to be innocent. Naturally, the Wei family could not ask the Lang family to make any compensation, so the Wei family had nothing to say, just whispered After convincing Zhou Zhi'er a few times, she wanted to go back to her home.

At this moment, someone from the Lang family suddenly said, "No, that's not the case. The young mistress didn't take the initiative to seduce the young master of the Wei family!"

I looked into the crowd, and it was a woman who was speaking, about the same age as Qiu'er and Ye'er, and seemed to be a maid too.Seeing her suddenly speaking, Lang Dong's family hurriedly said: "What do you know, why don't you tell me quickly!"

As he spoke, he turned around and said to Wei Rutao and Zhou Zhi'er: "This is the maid who is by Xiuhong's side. If there is anything wrong with Xiuhong, she is the most likely to know."

The maid was talking, and walked out from the crowd until she came to Zhou Zhier, with a somewhat angry look on her face, she said, "Young Mistress of the Wei family, you obviously set up the matter between our Young Mistress and Master Wei, why have you pushed all the crimes away now?" On the head of my young mistress?"

"You, you are talking nonsense!" Zhou Zhi'er was so angry that she blushed, and everyone thought it was absurd. How could Zhou Zhier persuade her husband to have an affair with another woman?
Mr. Lang's family thought she was going to tell the truth, but who knew that she said such a sentence, which even he didn't believe, and was about to reprimand her, when the servant girl said again: "I'm not talking nonsense! Not long ago, it was This year's Qiqiao Festival, you came to our Lang's house again to beg for cleverness with the young mistress. That night, you clearly told our young mistress that you would try your best to match her and Master Wei. Our young mistress is very bitter when she has to stay alone in an empty room at a young age , so I am very grateful to you after knowing this."

"Do you know what I'm talking about?" Zhou Zhi'er laughed angrily, "You said I was matching my husband and Xiuhong?"

"Because this was unexpected, our young mistress has always told me that you have a big heart, and if you enter the Wei family in the future, you must put you first in everything." The maid was still plausible, insisting that Zhou Zhi'er personally matched Wei Zhiyan and Xiu Everyone in the Wei family was angry when they heard this, Ye'er and Qiu'er scolded her angrily for fabricating such shameless lies in order to get rid of Xiuhong's crimes.

What she said was so outrageous that Mr. Lang's family couldn't stand it anymore, so they shouted her out and made up for Wei Rutao and others. Unexpectedly, the maid still refused to give up, hiding behind her and said: "This matter is written in black and white. It must be clear that the young lady of the Wei family said that I wronged her, as long as I find this letter, the truth will naturally come to light."

Judging from her tone, Zhou Zhi'er not only brokered the matter herself, but actually wrote a letter to Xiuhong in black and white.Lang Dong's family was taken aback, and asked, "Where is that letter?"

The servant girl bowed to him and gave a salute, and replied: "Young Mistress received this letter, she was afraid that people would see it, so she kept it hidden in her makeup box."

Lang Dong's family pointed at the man just now and said, "Go with her and bring Xiuhong's makeup box."

The man responded and went with the maid.All the people present were silent, with strange expressions on their faces. Even Zhou Zhier did not make a sound. Although no one believed what the maid said, she dared to speak so casually. There must be a reason for it. Xiuhong wrote a letter, stating that she could persuade Wei Zhiyan to accept her as a concubine.

Although it is a partial house, it is undoubtedly a better way out for Xiuhong than being a widow when she was young in Lang's house, so when Wei Zhiyan appeared at the back door of Lang's house, Xiuhong might think that Wei Zhiyan was impatient, but she was willing in her heart, Only then did he welcome him into his room.

But who would write this letter?

I turned this thought in my mind, and glanced at everyone in the Lang family. This person was able to write such content, obviously he knew exactly what was going on in Xiuhong's heart, and knew that Xiuhong couldn't bear the loneliness of the empty boudoir, so That's why I dare to write like this, otherwise Xiuhong will make a fuss after reading the letter, and the matter will be exposed immediately.

And besides the maid beside her, who else knows Xiuhong's thoughts best?
After a while of silence, Wei Zhiyan and Zhou Zhi'er obviously both thought of this too, and anger gradually rose on their faces, but they restrained themselves and did not burst out.Not long after, the two people who went to get the dressing box came back. The maid was holding a crimson box with a black plum blossom painted on it.

The person who accompanied the maid walked up to Mr. Lang's house and said in a low voice, "It was brought from the young lady's room."

Mr. Lang nodded and signaled the maid to open the makeup box.After the maid opened the dressing box, she groped around on the bottom floor, then took out an envelope folded in half, and handed it to Mr. Lang's house.But Mr. Lang's family didn't pick it up, but told her: "Let's take a look at Mr. Wei first."

Wei Rutao took the letter with a cold face, and stared at the maid for a while, he thought that the maid would feel a little guilty, but unexpectedly, the maid was confident and looked at him without showing any weakness.He snorted coldly, flattened the letter, took out the letter paper, and glanced at it.

With just this one glance, Wei Rutao seemed to be bitten by the words on the letter, suddenly his hand trembled, and the letter paper fell from his hand, then he shook his whole body, pointed at Zhou Zhier and said, "You...you..."

Uncle Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to support him, I was surprised when I saw this, I don't know why he lost his composure all of a sudden.Zhou Zhi'er was also startled, and shouted, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

As he spoke, he took two quick steps, stepped forward and picked up the letter paper on the ground.The moment she picked up the letter paper, a thought flashed through my mind like lightning.

The handwriting on the letter couldn't really be Zhou Zhier's, could it? !
Zhou Zhi'er glanced at the letter paper, she was also dumbfounded, and trembled all over.I sighed secretly in my heart, as expected.Lang Dong's family saw that the two people from Wei's family had different expressions after reading the letter, and they were also a little surprised. They came over and took the letter paper from Zhou Zhi'er, glanced at it hastily, and said angrily: "You really encouraged me!" Xiuhong!"

As soon as the words came out, both Qiu'er and Ye'er said angrily: "You are talking nonsense!"

"This letter is written in black and white, young lady of the Wei family, did you write it?" Mr. Lang's family ignored the two of them, but stared at Zhou Zhi'er closely.

Just as Qiu'er was about to refute, Zhou Zhi'er waved her hand weakly at her, signaling her not to speak, and said, "That's right, I wrote this letter."
