Chapter 25

Around dawn, Luo Yuyan finally gave birth to her daughter, and the mother and daughter are safe.

Hua Yang breathed a sigh of relief when the baby's loud cry came, because the two yards were too close, Luo Yuyan suffered all night, and she also slept restlessly here.

Feeling dizzy, seeing Chen Jingzong turned over, he was clearly thinking about his brother and sister-in-law, Hua Yang said casually, "Congratulations, you have another nephew... Do you want it to be a nephew or a niece?"

Remembering that Fucui Hall hadn't sent anyone to announce the good news, Hua Yang changed his words in time.

Chen Jingzong: "Whatever, I don't want to raise it."

Hua Yang: ...

She just slept by herself.

After dawn, the couple went to Fucui Hall to congratulate each other.

They were the last ones to come. In the main room, Mrs. Sun was holding a sapphire satin swaddling baby and teasing with a smile. Chen Tingjian was sitting beside him, looking at his wife and granddaughter with one hand, and his face was elegant but elegant.Don't be angry.

"Father, the fourth brother and the princess are here."

Chen Xiaozong was the first to catch a glimpse of the figure at the gate of the courtyard, and reminded in a low voice.

Chen Tingjian regained consciousness and stood up immediately.

"Father always sees outsiders like this. In the future, if there are any happy events at home, the daughter-in-law will not dare to come again, so as not to spoil the happy atmosphere of the family."

Hua Yang supported his mother-in-law, pretending to be dissatisfied and said to his father-in-law.

Chen Tingjian smiled ashamedly.

Hua Yang looked at the little niece in the swaddling baby, the newborn baby's face was red and wrinkled, Hua Yang could only boast against his will: "This child can be seen as a beautiful embryo when he is born, and he will definitely look like a threesome when he grows up.She looks like a sister-in-law."

Chen Jingzong scoffed beside him.

Chen Xiaozong glanced over faintly, although the princess's compliment was just a polite word, but as a relative uncle, wouldn't the fourth child wish for his niece to grow up well, so he actually made trouble at this time?

Mrs. Sun also stared over, warning the fourth child not to make trouble.

Chen Jingzong approached Hua Yang, followed her gaze to look at the baby, seeing that his little niece looked like a monkey, he really couldn't boast.

Hua Yang glanced around and found that his sister-in-law Yu Xiu was not there, guessing that she should be visiting Luo Yuyan in the inner room.

Luo Yuyan gave birth to a daughter last night, there must be some smell in the inner room at this moment, Hua Yang doesn't want to smell it, because she is a princess, the decency between sisters-in-law must be compromised before her identity.

At this time, someone from the East courtyard was also sent.

The Qi family has been imprisoned in Fucheng Prison. Chen Tingshi and Chen Jizong's father and son are not suitable to come to Fucui Hall to express their congratulations, so they sent Chen Jizong's wife, Guo Shi, to come forward.

The Guo family is about the same age as Hua Yang, and she is the daughter-in-law hired by the Qi family from the scholarly family in Lingzhou Prefecture.Maybe marry her daughter to a town dude who doesn't like studying.As for Mrs. Guo, after she got married, she had a strong and arbitrary mother-in-law, and her husband was rude and unmotivated. After a long time, Mrs. Guo became a daughter-in-law like a shadow.

In the face of Chen Tingjian's high-ranking officials and relatives, the Guo family has no confidence at all. Once her mother-in-law is imprisoned again, the Guo family is even more afraid to raise her head.

She nervously walked towards the main room, holding her three-year-old son Brother Hu by her hand.

Although her son is young, he can give her some courage at this time, otherwise she is afraid that she will make mistakes when walking.

Chen Bozong looked at Brother Hu.

Brother Hu has a pair of fat earlobes, no one in the entire Chen family has such earlobes, but Qi's cousin Yang Guanshi has such earlobes.

Chen Bozong looked at his father again.

Chen Tingjian sat in the main seat, lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Uncle and aunt, congratulations on having another granddaughter." Guo tried her best to smile and congratulated Chen Xiaozong again.

Mrs. Sun felt sorry for this niece and daughter-in-law, and greeted her lovingly.

"Sit down, I'll go back first." Chen Tingjian stood up suddenly.

Chen Bozong followed and said, "I will see my father off."

Chen Xiaozong also wanted to see him off, but Chen Bozong waved his hand and asked him to entertain the guests.

After leaving Fucui Hall, Chen Tingjian's face sank completely, and he told his eldest son: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, get it done as soon as possible."

Chen Bozong: "Yes."

Chen Xiaozong and Luo Yuyan named their newborn daughter Wan Qing.

On Wanqing's third day, the Chen family arranged a simple family banquet in the main house. Except for Luo Yuyan who was on confinement and Wan Qing was too young, everyone else came.

Hua Yang and Chen Jingzong were still sitting side by side in front of a table.

She looked at Chen Tingshi and his son without any trace.

Chen Tingshi lost a lot of weight, and he had to force himself to smile when he looked at the lost soul, and he didn't dare to put on a sad face when the elder brother's family had a happy event.

Chen Jizong was tougher than him, he just lost his mother, he was in a bad mood, with a cold face, he almost broke his face with Da Fang's family.

After the family dinner, Hua Yang and Chen Jingzong returned to Si Yitang.

It's nothing, Hua Yang is going to take a rest.

Chen Jingzong sat on the side of the bed, looked at her and said, "I found out the account book of the Qi family. My cousin may be resentful. From now on, don't go to the garden behind alone, even with your maid. I really want to go."Relax, I will accompany you."

Si Yitang is very safe, and Hua Yang will not leave Chen's house easily, because he is afraid that Chen Jizong will make trouble and hide in the garden to wait for an opportunity to retaliate.

Upon hearing this, Hua Yang sneered and said, "Does he still dare to murder me?"

Chen Jingzong: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. We only need to live here for a few more months, and there is no need to take risks."

Those with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Chen Jizong dared to peep at her beauty before, but now that he has the revenge of losing his mother, he might do something.

Hua Yang lowered her eyes, Chen Jizong didn't come to murder her, and she would take care of Chen Jizong when she had a chance to go out.

The second crime that father-in-law was charged with after his death was adultery.

According to the dossier, Chen Jizong is a dude, relying on the elders in the court to be officials, he is domineering and domineering in Shiqiao Town for a generation.He bullied whoever he wanted, and when the trouble was not too big, the people silently swallowed their anger. When the trouble became big, Chen Jizong took out a sum of money, and successfully blocked the mouths of the bullied people.The people feared that he was the only nephew of Pavilion Elder Chen, and expected that Pavilion Elder Chen would protect his nephew, and dared not report any wrongdoing, for fear of the Chen family's revenge.

After the death of the father-in-law, the younger brother ordered the Chen family to be searched. The people around Shiqiao Town saw that Jin Yiwei had come, guessed that the Chen family was going to collapse, and complained about the old grievances.

Everything was done by Chen Jizong, but what is Chen Jizong?

However, during the years when Chen Jizong committed crimes frequently, it was the critical time when his father-in-law was promoted to the chief assistant and made drastic reforms in the imperial court. Many affairs in the whole country had to be dealt with by his father-in-law.How would father-in-law know if he concealed what his son did?

Father-in-law is in Shiqiao Town now, and Hua Yang also knows that Chen Jizong committed a crime last year. As long as the victimized family dares to file a complaint, can father-in-law just sit idly by?

If it wasn't for the fact that it was difficult to go out during the funeral, Hua Yang would have done it long ago.

However, Chen Jingzong's worry was also justified. Chen Jizong was tall and strong, and if he really hid in the garden and rushed forward, she and Chaoyun Chaoyue combined were no match for him.

"Don't go into the mountains these few months."

Hua Yang looked at Chen Jingzong and said, the walls of the Chen family's courtyard are not high, he can turn over and over, and so can others.

Chen Jingzong nodded: "I told the old man, let the guards step up their patrols to ensure that there are people on our side watching at all times."

Hua Yang thought, no matter there are guards outside, as long as Chen Jingzong does not leave Si Yitang, she will not be afraid of anything.

After thinking about it, Hua Yang squeezed his strong arm with satisfaction.

Wufu is good, if you change to Zhuangyuanlang or Tanhualang, if there are bad guys coming, the two brothers may not be able to fight.

Chen Jingzong: ...

Is it because she found out that he can help her keep off insects, carry her back up the mountain, and prevent gangsters, etc., that she has been a little more pleasant to him recently?

The next day, Chen Jingzong inspected under the courtyard walls at the front and back of Si Yitang, thinking about digging traps to prevent people from breaking in.

At this time, a woman's cry suddenly came from outside the gate of Chen's house, shouting grievances, begging the old man to make decisions for her.

Chen Jingzong immediately returned to Si Yitang.

Hua Yang heard it too, and the couple met at the gate of Si Yitang's courtyard.

Chen Jingzong: "Do you want to see it too?"

Hua Yang nodded.

The couple walked side by side in the corridor, and saw that Chen Bozong and Chen Xiaozong also came out separately. Luo Yuyan was going to confinement and wanted to watch the fun but was powerless, and Yu Xiu was asked by Chen Bozong to stay at home.

Chen Bozong dared to control his wife and did not dare to interfere with the freedom of the princess' younger siblings. After nodding in salute, the four of them went to the main house together.

Chen Tingjian and Mrs. Sun have arrived.

"Master, there are people making trouble outside, surrounded by the common people." The steward guarded the door, feeling very headache.

Chen Tingjian: "Open the door."

The head of the house had an order, and the steward hurriedly asked the boy to open the door.

Hua Yang used Chen Jingzong's shoulder to cover half of his face, looked out the door, and saw a young commoner couple kneeling in the front, the man's face was vicissitudes of life, the woman's face was thin but fair-skinned, her beautiful face was full of tears.

Seeing Chen Tingjian, the woman kowtowed and kowtowed: "Mr. Ge, the women have a grievance. I beg Mr. Ge to make decisions for the women!"

Chen Tingjian walked out the door. Because the woman was crying so deeply, his majestic expression eased a little, and he lowered his head and asked, "Since there is a grievance, why don't you go to the government to report it? Old man Ding You is at home, so it is not appropriate to do it for him."

The woman knelt down on the ground and burst into tears: "Old man, the person I want to tell is your nephew Chen Jizong. I didn't dare to tell you before because I was afraid that the old man would protect my nephew.The Qi family was sent to the prison, and the women gave birth to hope, so I came here to ask Mr. Ge to uphold justice for our husband and wife."

Chen Tingjian frowned and looked into the courtyard.

Chen Tingshi, Chen Jizong's father and son just rushed over at this time, Chen Tingshi didn't recognize the man kneeling on the ground, but when Chen Jizong saw the man's face, he stopped in shock, and his expression changed several times, obviously he had a ghost in his heart.

Chen Tingjian looked away, and continued to ask the woman, "What's wrong with you?"

These words made the woman's crying more and more sad. After sobbing for a long time, she could barely speak clear and complete sentences, and lowered her head and said: "The woman is from Zhaojia Town. She married to this town five years ago.At noon on September 9, the woman was washing clothes by the stream. Chen Jizong suddenly appeared and dragged the woman to a remote place... The woman did not dare to speak up. Unexpectedly, he got worse and went to the woman's house many times. Once, my husbandWhen it happened, Chen Jizong was strong and strong, my husband was not his opponent, he broke one of his legs, and threatened that if we dare to make things bigger, he will kill my husband!"

"Full of nonsense, I don't even know you!"

Chen Jizong ran out, plopped and knelt down in front of Chen Tingjian, proclaiming his innocence with red eyes: "Uncle, don't believe her! This person clearly saw that something happened to my mother, so she came to wrong me and wanted to take advantage of our family!"

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

The woman acted like a madman when she saw Chen Jizong, and threw herself on Chen Jizong to tear his clothes: "You bastard has bullied me many times. I grabbed your back and bit your flesh. Do you dare to show your scars to the court?"Old verification!"

Chen Jizong pushed her away suddenly: "I have many scars on my body, all of which are left by my wife, what have you to do with it!"

In the inner courtyard, Mrs. Guo was already on the verge of collapse because of the woman's identification of Huarong, but when she heard that Chen Jizong dragged her in in front of so many people, it was such an unsightly thing, Mrs. Guo felt a rush of blood rushing to her headAfter the extreme shame, there was a deep hatred, and he cried uncontrollably: "I didn't! Chen Jizong, you are not a human being, don't even think about ruining my reputation!"

The biggest mistake in her life was not to listen to her parents' persuasion and marry into the Chen family!

The common people like to watch the excitement, especially this kind of scandal with a bit of intimacy between men and women, and there is a buzz of discussion in the crowd.

Chen Tingjian closed his eyes, pointed at Chen Jizong and said to the steward, "Tie him up and take him to the ancestral hall for interrogation."
