bright moon goes west

Chapter 41 The Fierce Mrs. Cui
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Heng'e's lips, laughing secretly at the Zhong family's stupidity: "Actually, father and mother are just paralyzing the Zhong family."

"Half a month before the wedding, Zhong Huanniang went to the temple to pray for blessings, but unfortunately encountered robbers on the way, so she lost her virginity.

Those robbers not only publicized the red mole on Zhong Huanniang's shoulder to everyone, but also painted it into a picture book and spread it all over Xuancheng.The Zhong family was instantly reduced to a laughing stock, and Zhong Huan's wife became an abandoned child.The Zhong family saw that one of their daughters was going to fail, so in order to stop the loss, they made a fuss to marry Zhong Juanniang, the younger sister of another daughter, Zhong Huanniang, into the Cui family.

Mrs. Zhong Huan had secretly promised my father a long time ago, so she was naturally unwilling to accept Mrs. Zhong Juan as her replacement.But the wood has become a boat.

However, as if by a heaven-sent opportunity, the government caught the robbers. Under severe punishment, those robbers revealed that Zhong Huanniang was a virgin. They robbed people because they heard that the Cui family was going to marry Zhong Huanniang. In order to seek money, the Zhong family did not expect that Zhong Huanniang would treat Zhong Huanniang as an abandoned son, and the robbers did not dare to offend the Cui family, so they spread the rumor of Zhong Huanniang's loss of virginity in a fit of anger.

The government summoned Zhong Huanniang to the court, but Zhong Huanniang was unwilling to marry her younger sister, and insisted that what the robbers said was true and that she had not lost her virginity.The government hired several experienced old women to examine Zhong Huanniang, and finally proved Zhong Huanniang's innocence.

Because this incident was too big, the story of the Zhong family's greed for glory and framed nephews spread like wildfire. My mother's boudoir friends and those famous sons who admired my mother's name even held various banquets in Xuancheng. I complained for my mother.The Zhong family became notorious for this.My father naturally refused to marry the daughter of the Zhong family again. He could not afford to kneel in front of my grandfather and begged him to renew the old covenant.

Although my grandfather knew that Zhong Huanniang's accident was caused by my mother's secret manipulations, and hated my mother for being too vicious, but due to my mother's reputation of chastity, my grandfather couldn't get off the horse, so he could only agree to my father.

After the Cui family was re-established, my mother sent the portrait of her concubine sister to the warlords in other provinces.That warlord was tyrannical, and he loved to abuse young girls the most. The concubine secretly concealed the matter, but she did not expect that it would be retribution to her own daughter in the end, so she cried all day long, but did not dare to tell my grandfather the truth. Not long after, she fell ill I'm sorry, people just disappeared like this.

Zhong Huanniang was also expelled from the house by the Zhong family who became angry from embarrassment.

After my mother married into Cui's family, she said in public at a banquet: She couldn't bear the uneasiness of my dead step-grandmother. Since the Zhong family didn't care about kinship, she took Zhong Huanniang's place in place of her deceased mother-in-law. Cui Fu came to take care of it, Cui Fu did not miss this pair of chopsticks.

The Zhong family was ashamed and hated, and only then did they wake up, and never dared to come to the door again to seek humiliation.

My mother said that the grievances between the elders should not involve the younger generation.During the holidays, the juniors of the Zhong family would be brought into the mansion to play.In order to cling to the Cui family, the Zhong family had no choice but to humiliate and humiliate me in front of my mother.

Zhong Huanniang lived reclusively in the Cui Mansion, like an invisible person. "

"Mother-in-law is good at tricks!" Although Heng'e stated the grievances between Cui and Zhong's family in a flat tone, with Chen Xi's city, it is natural to guess how many swords and swords are hidden in this disgraceful past.

His mother-in-law, who was only a weak woman of twenty-eight years old at the time, was able to turn the tide even when the situation was extremely unfavorable to her. She was truly a hero among women with her fortitude, wisdom, swiftness, and sharpness. .

What's even more shocking is that Mrs. Cui's disregard for Zhong Huanniang, seemingly tolerant and magnanimous, makes Zhong Huanniang even more despicable and shameless.

His mother-in-law played this trick, after hitting the Zhong family on the left cheek and the right cheek, the Zhong family had to be grateful to his mother-in-law, otherwise it would be ungrateful.

Like a mother, like a daughter.Chen Xi's understanding of Heng'e deepened.

Since Cui and Zhong have such deep grievances, how could Zhong Wei be so close to his wife.Chen Xi was suspicious, and suddenly jealous: "What about Zhong Wei? I think you two have a good relationship." Chen Xi's conversation finally turned to Zhong Wei.

Heng'e was silent for a moment.

Bo Yang and his cousin used to be the most congenial, they often went out and went in together.It was also because of her cousin's relationship that she let go of the estrangement between the two families in the early years and treated Zhong Wei as a relative.Later, I experienced many things and saw people's hearts over time.The three of them will never go back to the past.The Sri Lankan has gone, leaving nothing but sadness.

"What? Is there any untold story here?" Seeing Heng'e's bewildered expression, Chen Xi played with the black silk hanging on Hang'e's shoulders with a half-smile: "You don't care about the matter between father-in-law and mother-in-law. You know everything, and you can tell me everything, but how did you get here, but you keep it secret."

It's not that Heng'e couldn't hear the dissatisfaction in Chen Xi's words, but she didn't want to explain. Once Zhong Wei was mentioned, it would definitely involve the most secret wound in her heart.

Heng'e avoids the important and ignores the important: "My cousin Zhong and I both studied with the fourth uncle in the clan. My fourth uncle called himself Bieyunke, and he had been studying in the south of the Yangtze River in his early years. The fourth uncle was best at painting figures, flowers and birds. It’s hard to find one of these paintings. It’s just that nowadays, due to the collision of Chinese and Western cultures, it’s gradually becoming invisible, and I only teach my children’s painting skills among the Cui family and in-laws. In my dowry, there are pictures of frost birds under the moon, pictures of plum cliffs looking at immortals, and ladies outing in spring. The picture and the picture of the partridge on Peony Mountain were all gifts from the fourth uncle."

Heng'e kept silent about Zhong Wei, although Chen Xi was dissatisfied, but he couldn't bear to destroy the ice-breaking relationship between the two, so he could only follow Heng'e's words: "Famous teachers have produced outstanding apprentices since ancient times, so Madam's painting skills must be right and wrong. It’s the same. Why don’t Madam make me a painting and let me hang it in the office.”

Chen Xi had no interest in the fourth uncle whom Heng'e spoke highly of, but wanted to see his wife's paintings more.He believes that with Heng'e's talent, he will never let himself down.

Heng'e secretly heaved a sigh of relief when Chen Xi stopped asking about Zhong Wei, and her smile revealed a bit of lightness: "What's so difficult about it! Let me paint you a picture of the rising sun when I find time, and hang this in your office Comparable."

When the geese sing, the sun begins to dawn.

Chen Xi touched her head with a smile, and said in a doting tone: "Okay, I'm waiting for Madam's masterpiece." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he turned off the night light on the bedside: "It's too late, go to sleep." He He kissed Heng'e's finger very lovingly.

Although she didn't close her eyes almost all night, Chen Xi woke up on time at six o'clock in the morning.After breakfast, he drove to the military camp.

Tang Ping was sent out by him to handle errands, and the person who has been with Chen Xi for the past two days is his newly promoted officer, Cao Liren, who is very good at investigation and torture.

When Chen Xi arrived at the office, he called Cao Liren in, and threw a photo on the table: "Liren, check this person out for me."

"Young commander, is it business or private?" Cao Liren picked up the photo with both hands, glanced at the person on it, and then put it in his pocket.

Chen Xi was very satisfied with his prudence, and his tone was milder: "It's a private matter. Don't make people panic, and don't use those too drastic methods." He turned the pen in his hand and ordered, but his deep voice could not conceal the murderous look. .

Cao Liren probably guessed what Chen Xi was thinking, and he respectfully replied "Yes!" and exited the office lightly.

After the person left, Chen Xi picked up the phone on the table: "Is Mr. Zhang there? I'm Chen Xi..."

Heng'e woke up naturally when she fell asleep, the bedside was empty, only Feiqiong stayed by the bedside, seeing her woke up, she quickly handed her a glass of warm water.Heng'e moistened her throat, and her voice lazily called for someone to wait for her to freshen up.

After Hang'e washed, Fei Qiong helped Hang'e to the small restaurant on the second floor connected to the bedroom. This was temporarily arranged by Chen Xi according to Hang'e's habits after Heng'e came to the capital.

"Master, I heard from Qingke that you met Mr. Zhong's cousin in Jiang's residence last night..."

Hang'e covered her mouth sleepily with a veil, her picturesque eyebrows were gone from the affection she deliberately pretended to be in front of Chen Xi last night, but cold and indifferent: "Zhong Wei has been in France for many years, If you return home suddenly, you have to guard against it."

"Master, you are suspicious..."

"Yes." Heng'e understood Fei Qiong's unfinished words: "If I don't destroy the Zhong family, I will never get rid of the hatred in my heart! Mother... is too kind!"

Heng'e finished her meal and asked Feiqiong to write a letter.

After Heng'e finished dictating, Fei Qiong also stopped writing.She pressed the ink-stained letter paper with a sapphire-carved frost-chrysanthemum pattern paperweight, wiped her hands, took the jade hammer from Rui Bai's hand, and beat Heng'e's leg moderately.

"Don't move the nail buried in Zhong's house. When Zhong Wei returned home suddenly, I always have a feeling that he has another purpose. So, Feiqiong, you ask Jenny to come forward and find a secluded place. I want to meet him , do it after testing."

"Master, if Zhong Weizhen has another purpose, you can meet with him alone, in case you startle the snake, your situation..." Fei Qiong did not agree with her own lady's idea of ​​putting herself at risk.

"How can you catch a tiger if you don't enter the tiger's den. With the reputation of a well-known scholar and progressive youth, but also want to shine in the domestic economic field, Fei Qiong, don't you think this style is very familiar?"

"The master is suspicious..."

"That's right." Heng'e affirmed Fei Qiong's guess, "The timing of his return is too sensitive. I don't care what happens to Chen Xi, but Feng Jun must not let foreign forces get involved. The land of China cannot withstand further changes." There's been a lot of fighting."

Jian Zhenni chose a western restaurant under her name as the meeting place.

Hang'e abandoned those fashionable dresses and cheongsams in her closet, but chose a primrose-colored cloud-patterned beaded pipa-breasted top, amaranth-colored golden lilies and floral cloud-satin skirts, and silk-like blue silk entangled like a fallen horse. There are many treasures on the hairpin, and there is a beautiful fresh peony "Linghuazhanlu" beside the temple. The phoenix dot on the forehead is emerald and golden, and the brilliance reflected by various gemstones is beautiful. I can't take away the sparkling starlight from those bright eyes.

Heng'e chose a pair of golden silk lantern earrings, and Huangxian put them on for her. She also applied rose balm on her white as snow wrists, and handed the pearl handbag with both hands.

Heng'e took it and asked Suiyu, "Is the car ready?"

Suiyu smiled pretty, "Master, I'm already waiting at the door."
