Court Marriage

"Grandma has already decided to live in Xingcheng in the north, where there are relatives of your grandmother's family, and it can be closer to the place where your father was exiled, so that we can take care of him, Ze'er, you stay in Bocheng and take good care of your body. , is the greatest filial piety to your grandmother, the Holy One is merciful, there will be a day when your father will be forgiven, and then our family will be reunited..."

When the old lady said these words, she looked resolute and serious. Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang were not allowed to refute a single sentence at all. Although the Qiao family was defeated, but with the word of filial piety, the old lady was still the person with the highest status in the family, so once she decided We cannot oppose face to face.

Qiao Yingze and Gong Zhuoliang resigned helplessly and left. When only the old lady and Mrs. Qiao were left in the room, Mrs. Qiao gritted her teeth and watched the old lady force a smile.

"Mother-in-law, since Ze'er is filial and has set up a house for us in Bocheng, why should we go to Xingcheng to send someone under the fence? If you don't worry about the master, send the two younger sisters to take care of it... ah!"

Before Mrs. Qiao could finish her words, she was hit on her body by the teacup that the old lady grabbed at random. She jumped up in fright, and wiped the water stains on her body with a handkerchief in a panic. Her eyes were shocked and angry.

"Do you still know that Ze'er is filial? Who wanted to force him to death back then! Now that you want Ze'er to keep you, do you want this skin on your face!"

The old lady glared at Madam Qiao fiercely, grabbed another teacup and wanted to continue throwing it, but was stopped by Qiao Yuanyin's mother who rushed in after hearing the sound. Then he stood at the door with his son in his arms, and looked at them thoughtfully and coldly. There was also a concubine who was scrambling to coax the crying baby Qiao Yingran, and the house suddenly became a mess.

"Anyone with discerning eyes can't see that we now rely on the sisters and brothers of the Gong family for food and housing, and even Xuan'er in the capital relies on their family to get a good future? It was so good back then. Daughter-in-law, you don't look down on you, you have to go to ask a lady from a big family, what is the result! They can take care of a little relatives, and Xuan'er has suffered a lot of grievances!"

The old lady slapped the table loudly. If it weren't for the reputation of Qiao Yingze's brothers, she really wanted to drive this selfish and stupid woman out of the house, wouldn't this woman have any sense of shame!

"Wu... ah..."

Being scolded by the old lady in front of several concubines, Madam Qiao blushed, and she burst into tears with a handkerchief, but she pretended to be miserable, but in fact she was angry and angry. She hates the old stubborn old lady, who has left Bocheng to live a good life, but she has to go to Xingcheng to ask for hardships, and she doesn't care what that old **** does! The one who was angry was the unkindness of his cousin's family, who didn't care about family affection at all, and treated her and Xuan'er's mother and son like this.

"You have also seen Xuan'er's letter, what is his situation in the capital now? If you want him to have a wicked mother who abandoned her husband and family, ruining his career, and being unable to keep his head up for a lifetime, then you Just stay in Bocheng and enjoy your blessings!"

How could the old lady not see that Madam Qiao was pretending to cry, she sneered and stabbed her sore spot.

"This... woo..."

Mrs. Qiao pinned all her life's hopes on the son of Qiao Yingxuan. After hearing the old lady's words, she was really cold. What's more sad, all of these are facts, so Mrs. Qiao was sad for a while and covered her head. She ran back to her room crying.

"Listen to all of you, the matter of going to Xingcheng is settled as such. When you see Xuan'er, you will leave. Let's all go down."

Covering her sore forehead, the old lady drove out the three concubines, and then sighed on the couch by herself. In fact, why did she ever want to be so tossed, but with a body like Qiao Yingze's, she had to support herself well, and what could she use to support their family? The granddaughter-in-law was in such a situation now, and the old lady really didn't want to drag them down.

Besides, it's time to let these people in the family eat hard and temper their temperament, otherwise they will not be able to distinguish between good and bad, and they will not know how to be grateful.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "Grandma is almost 60 after all, how can she bear the bumps along the way, and besides, they are all used to enjoying the blessings, and they can't stand the cold when they get to the north..."

From the time he left the old lady to the time he entered the house, Qiao Yingze's brows had not been smoothed, and he had been thinking about how to persuade the old lady to change her mind.

Because of the full preparation, in addition to the property under Gong Zhuoliang's name that was not damaged at all, the property transferred from their family was tens of thousands of taels. It was not difficult for the family to live well, so Qiao Yingze really didn't want to let the family have a good life. The old lady went to the north to suffer.

"Ying Ze, I know you are filial, but after all, we separated from the family, and in name they are relatives who are separated from the family by one floor. If the old lady really stays here and takes care of us, then Ying Xuan The position is too embarrassing..."

Supporting Qiao Yingze to lie on his lap, Gong Zhuoliang massaged and stretched his brows for him, while comforting him warmly.

In fact, in Gong Zhuoliang's heart, he didn't want them to stay in Bocheng. To be precise, he didn't want Mrs. Qiao to stay here. Bian still had to think about how to press Qiao Yingze to help Qiao Yingxuan, and he would not say a good word to Qiao Yingze. Gong Zhuoliang didn't want Qiao Yingze to hurt his heart again.

Besides, in case the old lady objects to them being together in the future, it is not easy for them to go against each other when they are close. All these have to be considered.

"I understand this, but even if you're not in Bocheng, it's good to live in the capital. Let's buy some land for them in the name of filial piety to our grandmother, so that it will be better than Yingxuan."

What Gong Zhuoliang meant, Qiao Yingze knew that all the preparations he had made before were all under the old lady's private name, and the house he built for Qiao Yingxuan in Beijing was also considered Qiao Yingxuan's private property, and was not included in his family's public. Afraid to give the impression of a family of benevolence, making it difficult for Qiao Yingxuan to do it.

As for how the old lady and Qiao Yingxuan will deal with these private properties in the future, it is not Qiao Yingze's responsibility.

"Ying Xuan is a sensible person. When he comes back, you can go to persuade your grandmother together. You have been tired all day, so don't think about these troublesome things, and have a good rest."

Gong Zhuoliang looked at the sky and knew that it would be too late for him to stay any longer, but he was really worried about leaving Qiao Yingze alone. What if he didn't sleep well at night?

"Let's go after dinner. You are busy going in and out for the Qiao family these days. I should keep you for dinner. There is nothing to avoid."

Seeing Gong Zhuoliang's actions, Qiao Yingze knew that he was worried about him, so he got up and took the initiative to look for his lips and kissed him, laughing at him for thinking he was too fragile.

Although Qiao Yingze felt sorry for not being able to be filial in front of her grandmother, it didn't make her feel unhappy because of it. Qiao Yingze had already instructed Qiao Ming in advance for the servants in front of the old lady to choose loyal buyers after the incident. After coming down, Qiao Yingze can still rest assured that they are waiting in front of the old lady, even if they are far away.

"okay."

With the tip of Qiao Yingze's tongue licking on his teeth, Gong Zhuoliang hooked the corners of his mouth, leaned forward, pressed him on the couch and kissed deeply.

It's no wonder that people all over the world say that a small part is better than a newly-married one. This feeling of reluctance to part is really not a lingering feeling... Gong Zhuoliang thought with some playfulness, if he and Qiao Yingze are like this now, they are truly in love on the premise of marriage, right?

At the same time, in a small town outside the city of Bo, a few rough men were led by a local ruffian, and they acted in a small family's house, turning the originally clean and tidy home into a mess. He beat the male master who wanted to stop them to half death, and forced him to ask the whereabouts of the women and children in the family, but the simple and honest-looking male master gritted his teeth and refused to reveal a word. Those reckless men were about to cause death. I had no choice but to go back after scolding and searching, but there were still two people watching nearby, wanting to wait until the woman at home came back to catch the 'escaped concubine'.

Because the lady of the Gong family only said that they wanted to bring back the eldest young master's concubine and son intact, they naturally didn't have to keep their hands on the adulterer in the house, although those rogues who had become acquainted with the eldest young master doubted whether he could give birth to him. The son is here, but they only have money to make it, how can they manage the doorway of those big families.

After those people left, the man who had broken an arm and a leg reluctantly got up, half crawled into the kitchen to open a secret tunnel entrance, fell in and completely lost consciousness, until a young woman Crying to burn their home, and then dragging him out of the secret passage in the wild, he woke up faintly, but his breath was obviously weak.

"Xianggong, how are you, Xianggong, Xianggong..."

She could no longer care about the cry of the newborn child, the young woman hugged her husband and cried bitterly. The beautiful face covered with tears was almost exactly the same as Gong Zhuoliang's appearance in women's clothes, only more. It's pretty cute.

"Yan...I'm sorry...you followed...I...suffered...go...go to find...the second master...he is...good...good guy..."

The simple and honest but tough man was reluctant to look at his wife and wanted to hug her and his son again, but found that he was unable to raise his hands at all. He could only stare at the woman he loved the most like that, unable to rest his eyes. …

"No, I'm very happy, Xianggong, you always love me so much, it's me who is always bullying you, Xianggong... Mother, how can you be so cruel, how can you treat me like this!"

Gong Zhuoyan hugged her husband and cried until she lost her voice, all the bits and pieces that came to mind when they were together, the stupid bear who had been bullied by her and followed and adored her foolishly, the one who was dragged by her. The stupid man who eloped and was stubbornly bowed to the overlord, he clearly promised to be a couple for the rest of his life, how could he just leave her like this!

"Xianggong, you wait for me, you wait for me over there, I won't let her get Xian'er, our son will grow up healthy and healthy, you must wait for me, don't go first..."

Gong Zhuoyan leaned over the man and kissed his thick, already cold lips tenderly. Her domineering words were filled with deep sadness. She wiped away the tears on her face, and forced herself to unbutton her clothes to feed her bosom. The child in the house, and then buried her husband's body in the thatched cottage they had built before, while she smeared her face and walked towards Bocheng with the child in her arms...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX another two days later, Qiao Yingxuan finally hurried back to Bocheng. Because Gong Zhuoliang's current status is inconvenient to be involved in their family affairs, he did not accompany the Qiao Yingze brothers to see the old lady, and his name Shang was still mourning for his short-lived eldest brother, so it was not convenient for him to hold a banquet at home to entertain Qiao Yingxuan, so he set the place at a restaurant next to his bookstore.

Chatting with Shi Kang, just as he rode out of the door, he saw a dirty figure staggering down the road ahead. Hearing the cry of the baby, Gong Zhuoliang hurriedly tightened the reins, and looked at the ground in surprise. The figure of the woman, Gong Liu, who was smart beside him, had already run over to check, but was avoided by the woman who barely got up.

"Second Master... Liang Er..."

The woman raised a dirty face that could not be seen clearly, and called Gong Zhuoliang weakly twice, looking at him with complex guilt in her eyes.

"You are... Brother Shi, find a carriage."

Gong Zhuoliang looked at the woman on the ground suspiciously, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart. He carefully distinguished her appearance, and hurriedly jumped off his horse and walked quickly to her side and knelt down. Fortunately, there were no outsiders at the door of his house, so Gong Zhuoliang He simply half-supported and half-held the woman, and he didn't mind if she soiled his white clothes.

"Master, where are you going?"

Shi Kang was also surprised when he saw the silhouette of the woman, so he hurriedly pulled a carriage over, and personally drove the two to help them in. After getting the answer from Gong Zhuoliang to go to the 'sister's house', he sent the car to Ye'er to take care of him alone. That little house.

"Sister... how could you..."

After getting on the carriage brought by Shi Kang, Gong Zhuoliang looked at the haggard Gong Zhuoyan in surprise. Seeing that the child in her arms was crying pitifully, she hurriedly hugged her and coaxed it skillfully. Gong Zhuoyan's proud and domineering pretty appearance when she was young.

Although she was born as a woman, she is not weaker than a man's stubbornness. She is also the only relative in the family who has ever protected Gong Zhuoliang, although the way she protects people is also so domineering.

Therefore, Gong Zhuoliang never blamed her for marrying her. It was all Mrs. Gong's fault, and even Gong Zhuoliang admired Gong Zhuoyan. She had the determination and perseverance that few women of this era dared to strive for her own happiness, so Seeing her miserable appearance now, Gong Zhuoliang was really shocked. Her first reaction was that she was deceived by the object of her elopement. After all, there are too many unkind men in this era.

"Liang Er, I'm sorry for you..."

Gong Zhuoyan looked at the little brother who was skilled in coaxing the child to wipe his face and hands for him. Tears filled his eyes that had already dried up from crying, and slowly told him about his life in the past two years.

It turns out that after Gong Zhuoyan eloped with her lover, because of her wild nature, she disguised herself as a man and ran to many places with her husband. With her excellent business skills, she lived a very casual and happy life.

It wasn't until she heard Gong Zhuoliang's name in the north more than half a year ago that Gong Zhuoyan knew that he had such a big reputation. She was very happy that her timid younger brother had made a difference at that time. Xiang's care, after all, she could see clearly that cousin's care for Liang'er's younger brother, but after inquiring carefully, she heard that he borrowed the light of his elder sister, and said that his elder sister was from the prefect's family. Daughter-in-law, Master Juren's wife Yunyun, Gong Zhuoyan knew that something was wrong, so she secretly returned to Bocheng with her husband to investigate.

At that time, Gong Zhuoliang and the others had already separated. Gong Zhuoyan asked her husband to observe secretly for a long time, and deduced the truth according to the clues. Gong Zhuoyan felt very sorry for Gong Zhuoliang, and later saw that he was living a good life. This was relieved, but at this time she was pregnant, and because of the anxiety in the early stage, she hurt her body, and the fetus was not stable. In desperation, the couple had to find a nearby town to live in to protect the fetus, but somehow When Mrs. Gong discovered her whereabouts, she actually sent someone to the door to capture their mother and son in the name of catching the escaped concubine. died…

"Sister, I don't know about you...you have to mourn."

Gong Zhuoliang looked at the pink and lovely little nephew in his arms, and then looked at the calm and rational Gong Zhuoyan in front of him, with a strong ominous premonition in his heart.

Regarding Mrs. Gong's desire to **** the child, Gong Zhuoliang guessed that it was because Gong Zhuoyu died and the Gong family lost his blood, so he wanted to raise his grandson as a grandson to inherit the family, but Gong Zhuoliang never imagined that she would take care of his own daughter. Such a cruel hand...

Could it be that in Mrs. Gong's heart, the daughter who once had high hopes and could use the same name as her son with the word 'Zhuo' would only be shame and sin after eloping with someone? But this way of forcing her own daughter and son-in-law to death is really too vicious. Is that woman really crazy?

When he arrived at the house where he was an abandoned woman, Gong Zhuoliang asked Ye Er to take good care of Gong Zhuoyan's mother and son, and Shi Kang helped to find Gong Zhuoyan's husband's body and bring it back. After a long time, she hurried to the appointment with the Qiao brothers.
