Comprehensive Video: Daily life from the courtyard

"Master, Yong Yihou is here, he came with Madam, and he is already in Madam's yard now," said Mo Zhu, the long follower beside Sheng Yuan, as soon as he received the news.

Sheng Yuan was reading a book on the collapsed bed, when he heard Mo Zhu's words, he immediately got up, packed up his clothes, and prepared to go to the main courtyard to meet the old man, although he didn't know why the old man came, but he must not lose his courtesy.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Hou Yi and his wife drinking tea and talking in a low voice from time to time.

"My son-in-law has met his father-in-law." Sheng Yuan stepped forward and bowed his hands.

"Sit down." Yong Yihou glanced at Sheng Yuan and replied casually, then continued to drink tea, not intending to talk to him.

Sheng Yuan also had no choice but to sit down as he said, guessing what was going to happen in his heart. Although this courageous Hou didn't have a good face towards him, he never ignored him so coldly.

Could it be that the wife went back to her natal family to file a complaint, and the brave man came to express his dissatisfaction, but the man of that family didn't have three wives and four concubines, and he had already given his wife enough respect and dignity, so why did he still file a complaint?Such unvirtuous and jealous, if it wasn't for his good family background, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying Hong'er's shoes.

Sheng Yuan complained wildly in his mind, but he didn't dare to be negligent on his face, and asked with a smile, "My lord father-in-law, what's wrong with your son-in-law's sudden visit this time?"

Yong Yihou raised his head and glanced at Sheng Yuan, then snorted coldly and said, "Why, can I not come to your house if there is nothing wrong?"
"That's for sure!" Sheng Yuan hurriedly explained, "My son-in-law is afraid that there will be something wrong with him, so he asks so presumptuously."

Yong Yi Hou said mockingly, "Oh, I'm in good health, and I eat delicious food. What's the use of being so considerate, why haven't you cared so much for Brother Jin?"
Sheng Yuan couldn't help being taken aback when Yong Yihou mentioned his son, and then he heard Yong Yihou continue to say, "Brother Jin is weak and sick, you and your wife have really taken care of it, and you have carefully investigated why it happened, Xu Ling is a woman People are ignorant, just caring about being jealous.

What about you, Tanhualang, who has read a lot of poetry and books, but his eyes are full of your weak concubine, as a parent, you don't care about your children, this really made me know."

Sheng Yuan finally realized it when he heard this, Yong Yihou was blaming himself for not caring enough for Brother Jin, but Brother Jin has been weak since birth, so it's useless to care about him.

Sheng Yuan, who was about to defend himself for a few words, was about to speak when he was interrupted by the noisy voice outside the house.

"You slaves, let go of me quickly. I'm going to see the master and let the master decide for me. Don't try to wrong me for the things I haven't done." Sheng Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard Aunt Hong's crying voice. Brow was about to get up and go outside to see what happened.

Sheng's mother glanced at Sheng Yuan who wanted to go out to rescue his concubine, put down the teacup in her hand and said to the door, "Bring Aunt Hong in".

After Sheng Yuan heard this, he glanced at the cold-faced wife and the calm-faced father-in-law who was drinking tea, and knew that Hong'er must have done something to Brother Jin, and he was caught by the two as evidence, he knew I'm afraid I can't be good today.

After a loud noise at the door, Aunt Hong was carried into the room by several maidservants.

Sheng Yuan looked at Aunt Hong who was in a panic because of the struggle, and felt very distressed, but in order to save her, she could only say "Aunt Hong, what did you do again? Make amends with father-in-law"
Seeing Sheng Yuan, Aunt Hong cried to Sheng Yuan as if she saw a life-saving straw, "Master, save me, I really didn't harm the eldest son, don't say anything else, just let me kill you." There are no children, so there is no reason to harm the eldest son."

Sheng's mother sneered and handed the criminal evidence found by Yong Yihou to Sheng Yuan. Inside, she confessed that Aunt Hong asked the servants around her to confuse the wet nurse, and tricked the wet nurse into saying that taking certain folk remedies would make the milk better and better. Feeding the eldest son.

That folk prescription is nothing to take alone, but once you drink fish soup while taking it, the secreted milk will be mixed with a small amount of poison. This poison is not directly fatal, but it will make the body of the person who takes this milk slowly Weakness continued until Zai could not bear the illness and died.

Mother Sheng looked at Sheng Yuan with a look on how this was possible, and asked Mother Fang to bring up Aunt Hong's maid, Xiaofang, who was a confidant who did bad things for Aunt Hong.

Because both her parents and younger brother were taken away by Hou Yongyi's people, Xiaofang wanted her parents and them to survive, so she could only confess the bad things that Aunt Hong asked her to do, including how she murdered the eldest son.

Aunt Hong glared at Xiao Fang viciously, then turned around and cried to Sheng Yuan, "Master, I have never harmed the eldest son, you can't believe this maid's one-sided words."
Sheng Yuan took the paper handed over by Nanny Fang, read it carefully word by word, and turned back to see that the veins on his forehead were throbbing violently, and the muscles on his face kept trembling.

It's not just the murder of the prostitute, but also the concubines in the backyard have given birth or died in childbirth, or died in the womb in the past few years, and these reasons are actually arranged by myself, the gentle Xie Yuhua.
At this time, Aunt Hong saw Sheng Yuan's gloomy face, she was so frightened that her legs limp and knelt down on the ground begging for mercy, "Forgive me, sir, I really didn't murder the eldest son. I don't know at all. If it wasn't for what happened today, I always thought that the elder The young master is born weak and sick, please learn from the master."

Hearing Aunt Hong's words, Sheng Yuan laughed angrily, "Even if this matter has nothing to do with you, then Aunt Sun died of a difficult childbirth, and Aunt Yuan miscarried by eating safflower by mistake..." It's not that he feels sorry for these women and children, but felt that he had been fooled. He always thought that his wife could not tolerate others, so the children born in the concubine's room in the backyard had been dying all the time. He did not expect such an unknown inside story.
