Mrs. Hu's crying slowly stopped. She didn't object to returning to her parents' home to avoid the limelight, but she would still take care of their mother and daughter. What did it mean that they would not be short of money for the expenses? She looked at it with tears in her eyes in disbelief.

Wearing Mr. Hu.

Shilang Hu felt guilty and avoided Mrs. Hu's eyes, and whispered: "This is also for the Hu family. Madam, please feel aggrieved. I will definitely find a good husband-in-law for my two daughters. After I take up my official position, I will return to the countryside."

Stay with you."

"Master Hu, Hu Shizhang, you are really well-calculated." Mrs. Hu laughed angrily, "You want to take this opportunity to divorce me and marry a young and beautiful little goblin? You abandoned us mother and daughter, and you kept saying that

That it’s for our own good?”

Being pointed at and scolded by a woman, Mr. Hu became a little angry and said: "You, the mother, cannot escape the blame for your daughter doing such a thing. Am I doing this for myself? It's better than the whole Hu family being controlled by others.

"

"That's really nice to say." Mrs. Hu laughed, but her face was twisted and a bit sad, "Yes, you have the entire Hu family, and I only have two daughters and one who is ready to abandon me when disaster strikes.

husband,

Mr. Hu, you have to be a conscientious person. I worked day and night for the Hu family, to the point where I miscarried twice and was no longer able to have children. For this reason, I endured my mother-in-law’s complaints and gave you a concubine, took care of your concubines, and served you twice.

mother-in-law

, dealing with several sisters-in-law, a family with a large family and sisters-in-law will inevitably be involved in constant filth. As for me, I will swallow my anger and give in as much as I can. I must not let your reputation suffer any loss. For this reason, the upbringing of my two daughters

I can't even care about it, it's like this. If something goes wrong, you have to divorce me, okay! Then let's lay everything out and let's see what the Hu family is like with a clean family background. Am I the right person?

A good wife?"

"You dare?" Hu Shilang thought of some shameful things in the past and suddenly felt a little scared.

"You're going to be divorced, so why wouldn't you dare?" Madam Hu sneered repeatedly, "If you have the guts, strangle me to death, but I don't think you have the guts to kill your wife."

"You..." Hu Shilang was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "Okay, since you said so, prepare a dowry for Ping'er. She must marry Mr. Hong."

Mr. Hu threw away his sleeves and left, leaving Mrs. Hu sitting on the ground with cold eyes. After a long time, she stood up alone, straightened her appearance, and without telling the maid, she used the cold water from the basin in the house to wash her face.

, and applied cold water to the red and swollen eyes for a long time, until they could be covered up a little. Then he called the maid over and walked towards the yard where his daughter lived.

In the middle of the banquet, Hu Dongping was attracted by his father's maid Yun Niang. Then he was locked in his room. The maids and women who were guarding him were not hers. No matter how she threatened or lured her, Yun Niang would not open the door.

He only said his father's instructions, asking her to stay well and not cause trouble.

She knew that Meng Yan's plot must have been exposed, but she didn't know how bad it was. Yun Niang was very tight-lipped and didn't say a word. It made her feel itchy, but she couldn't help it and didn't dare to make a big deal about it.

Noisy, just be patient

She waited patiently until it was time to turn on the lamp. She said she was hungry, and Yun Niang had no intention of letting anyone bring her food. She waited for a long time, hungry, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Could it be that the matter was getting bigger and even her parents couldn't suppress it?

Live? What should I do?

Hu Dongping regretted a little. This matter was too reckless and he should have thought of a more prudent approach. The time was too tight and there was no time to plan some things carefully, but now was not the time to regret. He had to think of a way. As long as she refused to admit it, there would be no evidence.

Nothing will happen, I must bite him to death and not admit it.

In the dark room, with no lights on, Hu Dongping just stayed there, with many thoughts flashing through his mind involuntarily, including what would happen to her after the incident was revealed. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she was about to collapse. At this moment

, there were footsteps outside, and my mother's voice.

As if he had found a savior, Hu Dongping hurriedly leaned on the window and shouted anxiously: "Mother, mother."

Mrs. Hu ordered someone to open the door and light a lamp. After the room became bright, she retreated from all the maids and servants, and just looked at her somewhat embarrassed daughter quietly.

Hu Dongping pretended to be calm and said: "Mother, why are you looking at your daughter like this?"

"You don't know?" Mrs. Hu asked back.

"Daughter...how does my daughter know?" Hu Dongping made up his mind in advance and refused to let go, so he naturally didn't say anything.

Mrs. Hu sighed, touched her daughter's cheek, and said softly: "My son, what can't you and I say? Something happened at the banquet today... Tell your mother honestly, yes

It's not about you. You must tell the truth so that your mother can help you. You are a smart child. It will not do you any good to make up lies and lie to your mother at this time."

"My daughter really doesn't know anything. What happened to her mother?" Hu Dongping pretended to be innocent, but his trembling voice and twinkling eyes betrayed her.

Mrs. Hu, who knew her daughter Mo Ruomu, was disappointed and said: "If you don't want to say it, forget it. Mother won't force you. Mother just wants to tell you that today's matter is too big. Your father and even the entire Hu family can't afford it. Just

Now that I have wronged you, you should repay your parents for their upbringing."

"Mother, mother, please don't... don't scare your daughter. What happened?" Hu Dongping stuttered a little, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Mrs. Hu couldn't bear to see her daughter's frightened look. She turned her back and wiped her tears, and whispered: "Your father asked you to marry Mr. Hong."

"That Mr. Hong?" Hu Dongping couldn't believe it.

"The second young master of Hongdaotai, Hong Zhihao." Mrs. Hu said these words, and then saw Hu Dongping screaming.

"Mother, mother, do you know what kind of person this Hong Zhihao is? How could you let your daughter marry such a person?" Hu Dongping was stunned for a long time, suddenly realized, and grabbed Mrs. Hu as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

arms, shaking vigorously.

This Second Young Master Hong is a well-known hot-tempered person, and he is also very audacious and likes to steal good fortune. It took her a long time to find out about such a number one person. No one with a little care will be fooled so easily. She also

Have you ever thought about what Hong Zhihao would do if he didn’t fall for it? But you guessed it, this kind of pretentious romance

Because of his anxious mentality, even if he thinks something is fishy, ​​he will not make any noise about it. If he is bolder, he might threaten Miss Meng San with a letter. If he is timid, he will pretend that nothing happened.

If it doesn't succeed, all the relevant people will be sent away. No one has evidence, and no one can do anything to her.

But why, why did her mother want her to marry Mr. Hong?

Mrs. Hu was scratched by her daughter's nails and was in pain, but she endured it. She said with tears: "You can do such a thing, what do you want your mother to do? Miss Meng San is fine, but Mr. Hong sneaked in.

But the hospital was caught red-handed. He said everything, in front of Hong

In front of Prince Daotai and Prince Ding, they also took out the letter you had forged, and the Autumn Equinox was caught on the spot. Your father ordered people to arrest Ruozhu Ruoliu and a group of women around you, and they also

Everything has been told and the evidence is conclusive. What do you want our Hu family to do?

What should we do? Your father said that the incident happened in the Hu family. In such a case where the evidence is conclusive. The Hu family is meat on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by others. Now they want you to marry to avoid any gossip in the future.

Go out, Prince Ning and Hong Dao

What kind of person is Tai? Your father is just a servant, how can our family afford to offend him? Not to mention there is so much evidence, even if there is nothing, if they insist on you marrying Mr. Hong, it is difficult for our family to refuse. Just refuse.

Several families are at odds with each other. Did you know that?"

When things came to a close, although Mrs. Hu and Shilang Hu almost turned against each other, they still left some room to prevent their daughter from resenting her father, which would make life more difficult in the future.

"No, my daughter would rather die than marry such a lecher. This was not done by her daughter. It was... they framed her daughter." Hu Dongping cried and shook his head. Seeing that his mother was unmoved, he simply gritted his teeth and faced the wall.

Bump away.

"Ping'er."

Mrs. Hu was shocked and lost her grip. Hu Dongping had already hit the wall. She didn’t know whether it was Mrs. Hu who grabbed a handful to cushion the force or whether Hu Dongping didn’t use any force and just hit his forehead lightly.

There was a small swelling, but the skin was not broken, but it was enough to make Mrs. Hu feel distressed to death. She held her daughter's wound with a handkerchief and wanted to call the maid.

Hu Dongping cried and said: "Mother, just let your daughter die. It will be clean if your daughter dies. It will save you a son-in-law like that, and your daughter will not have to suffer the consequences of marrying her. It is her daughter who did something wrong."

"My son! You can't do this. How can you live by calling your mother like this?" Mrs. Hu immediately shed tears. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. After a while, Mrs. Hu said bitterly, "Ping'er,

Why are you so confused? Why do you actually do such a thing?"

Although Hu Dongping has been crying, her mind has not stopped. As early as when she was imprisoned, she began to think of countermeasures. Now combined with her mother's words, she weighs the pros and cons and knows that it is useless to deny it completely. Ruo Zhu Ruoliu and the others will definitely take advantage of it.

, a girl's family can no longer control the overall situation. Now she can only get through by asking for mercy from her parents and using the family's power.

To ask for mercy from her parents, she must have a sympathetic excuse. The real reason cannot be told, so she can make up one that cannot be verified. After thinking about it, she cried: "My daughter hates the Meng family, and the Meng family killed her."

Brother Jin, I hate them."

"Brother Jin, that brother Jin?" Mrs. Hu couldn't think of any young man named Jin who was close to their family.

"Brother Jinli, has mother forgotten? He often came to our house to play when he was a child, when he was in Huicheng," Hu Dongping reminded, his eyes a little shy.

Mrs. Hu was shocked when she remembered it. This happened many years ago. At that time, her daughter was only five or six years old, and her husband was just a low-ranking official who had no ambition to work abroad. Mr. Jin was also in the same place.

Officials, all from the rich families in Yancheng, were squeezed out due to factional struggles in the court.

, the two families were close to each other, and their children often played together when they were young. However, soon my husband was transferred to another place. The two families had a mediocre relationship, and then they lost contact. After that, their family returned to Yan.

I heard that Mr. Jin died a few years ago, so there was no need to contact him.

The reason why she remembered this golden oak was because not long ago, the Meng family's carriage accidentally hit and killed the master of the Jin family. Although Master Jin was dead, his younger brother was the leader of the capital. The matter was quite troublesome, but after all, it was

Unexpectedly, the Meng and Jin families had never had any contact, and Prince Ding testified that the Meng family had to pay a large sum of money, and the Holy Spirit demoted Master Meng by three levels. This result cannot be said to be unfair.

But why did her daughter get involved with Golden Oak? How come she didn't know about it at all? Mrs. Hu was completely confused.

Hu Dongping blushed and whispered: "My daughter and Brother Jin have known each other since they were young. When I was a child, Brother Jin often said that he would marry my daughter as his wife. My daughter has always remembered it, but mother, please don't misunderstand me. My daughter has not been with her since she returned to Beijing.

I only contacted Brother Jin once when I went to the temple to offer incense and met Brother Jin by chance... He still remembered my daughter, so we talked for a few words and nothing else... Brother Jin said that if there was a chance, he would come to propose marriage to my daughter.

I have been waiting. But I didn’t expect..."

Normally, Madam Hu would have scolded her daughter for having a private relationship with others, but now looking back at how cute Jin Oak Yuxue looked back then, she must have become a handsome man when she grows up. They were childhood sweethearts. It is said that Mr. Jin Oak is also very talented and learned.

. Even if her father died young and she lived with her uncle, her family background was a bit thin, so it’s no wonder that her daughter... can only sigh now.

Hu Dongping secretly observed Mrs. Hu's expression, and then cried: "It's all the Meng family's shamelessness. They were the ones who wanted to cling to the powerful. They were the ones who designed to kill Brother Jin."

There are different opinions about Jin Quer's death. But the Holy Sage has already dealt with the matter, and the Jin family is not dissatisfied. It just passed. Others can't talk too much about the Holy Sage's ruling. The victim's family did not cry out whether he was unjust or not, and no one said anything.
