I was really scared of being beaten. The man confessed everything in detail. The people onlookers believed it at first, but now they heard that he was a fake to frame him, and they were all ashamed.

"Bad embryo!"

"shameless!"

Some were so angry that they grabbed the vegetable leaves and stones at hand and threw them at him, ruining the reputation of a girl who had not left the cabinet. If it was placed on other girls, it would be tantamount to forcing the other girl to die.

Although the folk customs of Da Chu are open, if the private life-long appointment is spread, it will still be shameless, especially if the rich family has a reputation, so they hurriedly marry the young lady of the family or send them to Guanli to be an aunt. There are situations when there is no such person in the family.

It's also a good thing that Fu Tian reacted quickly enough to expose the person on the spot, otherwise when the news spread, he didn't know what it would be like.

"Send this person to the government." Fu Tian said: "This person maliciously slanders the Fu family's reputation, and his heart can be punished!"

He asked Yang Dashi to send the man to the government by name, and whispered where no one else was paying attention, "Most likely Wen Zeming did it. Together with the officers and soldiers, find him as soon as possible."

Yang Dashi nodded, and picked up the bloody man like a chicken and went to the government.

Fu Huang arched his hands around and threw the whip back into the hands of the groom, "Go back to the house."

The crowd of onlookers separated consciously, and the stalled carriage moved slowly again.

In the carriage behind Fu Tian, ​​Fu Shuyue's clenched fingers loosened a little, Fu Youqin frowned, took her daughter into her arms and patted her gently, "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Several carriages stopped in front of Fu's house one after another. Fu Tian immediately went to the carriage behind and looked at Fu Shuyue worriedly, "Sister?"

Fu Shuyue smiled faintly at him, "I'm fine, thanks to you today."

Fu Tian gently shook her hand, and ordered the personal maid to take her back to rest.The first few carriages were still following the Pangzhi people, and Fu Youqin had to greet the female relatives, but she couldn't leave for the time being, so she could only whisper a few words of comfort and let her go back to rest first.

After adjusting their expressions, the two welcomed the people from the side branches in.

After the farce just now, the people in the side branch had different thoughts, but I also knew that the Fu family must be in a bad mood when encountering this kind of thing, and everyone kept silent.

The banquet had been prepared long ago. After a busy day, everyone took a short rest and entered the banquet. Fu Tian sat at the table with the heads of each family, and Fu Youqin entertained the female relatives.

During the banquet, there was a lot of drinking, and the drunkenness appeared after a short time. A middle-aged man sitting next to Fu Tian's cheeks was already flushed with drunkenness. He patted Fu Tian's shoulder like an elder, and said earnestly: "You Ling, Now that you are the head of the house, fourth uncle just said that Shuyue is not young anymore, and it's time to find someone else."

He obviously had some complaints about Cai Cai's matter, "I heard earlier that the marriage with Jiao's family was called off once, and now this scene is happening again, although it was done deliberately, it is not good for the reputation of Fu's family after all. ..."

"Since you are the head of the Fu family now, you should take care of the reputation of the Fu family and not act willfully!"

"Oh?" Fu Huang turned his face slightly, the smile on his face cooled down, and the wine glass in his hand made a dull sound on the table, "Then how does the fourth uncle think to protect the reputation of the Fu family?"

The faces of the other people at the table froze, obviously aware of Fu Tian's displeasure. Some people gave Fu Zhengde a wink, but the drunk people didn't notice it at all.

Fu Zhengde and Fu Youqin were of the same generation, and their great-grandfathers were brothers. After each got married, Fu Youqin's great-grandfather inherited the family business, while Fu Zhengde's great-grandfather went to Qingyang to do business, and later took root in Qingyang. He would only come back when he worshiped his ancestors, so Fu Youqin had to call him cousin.

Among the side branches, Fu Zhengde's branch should have had the best life, so he speaks without any scruples.

Especially after drinking, Fu Zhengde was even more unscrupulous, "Your fourth aunt happens to have young children who are not yet married. I'll ask your fourth aunt to match them up. For my sake, they won't mind if they have a good reputation. bad."

Fu Huang was almost laughed at by him, but the angrier he was, the calmer the expression on his face became, "Fourth uncle's kindness is appreciated, but my sister is proficient in poetry and etiquette, she is extremely talented, I'm afraid it's not in any corner Anything that can be brought out is worthy of it.”

Fu Zhengde's face froze, "You are too arrogant."

Fu Huang stood up, with cold eyes, "The Fu family has a great career, so what if it's arrogant? My sister's marriage doesn't bother fourth uncle."

Fu Zhengde was choked by him, and he wanted to say something, but the people next to him stopped him. Others came out to smooth things over, and only after changing the subject did they reveal the matter.

Not in the mood to deal with these people anymore, Fu Tian just found an excuse to leave the table and asked Wen Ji to come over to greet the guests.

These people did not show up until the next day when they left.

Although it was said that the young master was too strong to drink, everyone seemed to know clearly that what happened last night must have offended the new head of the family, and he was unwilling to even do superficial efforts.

After one night, Fu Zhengde also woke up from the wine, but he always had a high opinion of himself. If it weren't for the fact that the Fu family in Sifang Town was the main branch anyway, he would not want to talk to such a young child like Fu Huang.

"Let's go, no wonder the main line can only live in this small Sifang Town these years, there is really no successor..."

The others shook their heads, ignored him, got into the carriage and left.

And Fu Huang, who was "overwhelmed by alcohol", strolled to Fu Shuyue's yard.

The mother and son obviously had the same thoughts. Fu Youqin was also in Fu Shuyue's yard early in the morning, and the mother and daughter were making tea and chatting in the pavilion in the garden.

Seeing that Fu Tian was also here, Fu Shuyue poured him a cup of hot tea to warm his hands.

Seeing that there was no depression in her expression, Fu Tian didn't mention what happened yesterday at all, so he sat down and drank tea with the three of them.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Fu Youqin carefully mentioned the marriage, "Many matchmakers came to propose marriage a few days ago. I picked and picked a few, and I kept a few good ones. Can you see if there is anyone you like?"

"If you don't have a good eye, don't worry, just watch slowly." Worried that her daughter might misunderstand, Fu Youqin quickly added another sentence.

Fu Shuyue paused while making tea, and instead of answering those famous posts, said softly, "Mother, I want to wait..."

Seeing that she refused without even answering the name card, Fu Youqin sighed, she was not reluctant after all.

After the winter solstice, the weather is getting colder and the New Year's Eve is getting closer.

Yang Dashi took the people in the government and found Wen Zeming who had been hiding within two days. It is said that he was found in the cave at the top of Xishan.

He also found a bag of gold and silver, and I don't know what he was thinking. He took the money and didn't leave Sifang Town, but went to the top of the west mountain and hid it quietly.

Fu Tian always felt that he stayed for another purpose, so he rarely took the time to visit him in prison.Wen Zeming is a murderer, locked in the innermost cell, the light is dim, and there is an unpleasant smell faintly.

He shrank in the corner of the prison, and when he saw Fu Tian, ​​he rushed up like crazy, cursing viciously.

Fu Tian looked at him across a fence, with no emotion in his eyes, "Your sentence has been fixed, and it will be the day after tomorrow."

Murder for life, Wen Zeming's mother and son were sentenced to be executed at noon the day after tomorrow.

One sentence made Wen Zeming pause. He knelt on the ground sluggishly, muttering, "It shouldn't be like this...Damn it's your mother and son...it shouldn't be like this..."

Fu Tian's heart was shocked, and he looked at him almost coldly, "What are you talking about?"

Wen Zeming stretched out his hand from the gap in the fence like crazy to grab him, and the iron chain on his body made a piercing sound, "The Wen family is mine, you wretch should have died long ago! You are a monster...you are a monster...I Tell them, let them burn you to death! The Wen family is me haha..."

"You're crazy." Fu Tian suppressed the shock in his heart and said expressionlessly.

The jailer was obviously used to it, and carefully explained to him: "It's been like this since I came in, always talking crazy."

Fu Tian tensed his jaw, a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from his palms hidden in his sleeves, he nodded coldly, turned around and left calmly.

Behind him, the jailer unceremoniously whipped twice, Wen Zeming retreated into the corner in pain, recalling the sweet dream he had in the cave, he couldn't help laughing again...

All the way into the carriage calmly, Fu Tian couldn't control his slightly trembling hands.

How could Wen Zeming know about the events of his last life... He took two deep breaths to calm himself down, and Fu Tian finally comforted his anxiety when he thought that the day after tomorrow would be the day of his execution.

The sudden fright made his hands and feet cold, and he managed to warm himself up after returning to the house and drinking a whole pot of hot tea.Wrapping himself in a thick cloak, he suddenly missed Chu Xiangtian urgently.

It's just that he doesn't know that Chu Xiangtian's situation in Qingyang Palace is no better than him.

After the ancestor worship ceremony, he originally wanted to prepare his things as soon as possible and rush back to Sifang Town, but when the aristocratic families in the capital learned of his return, there was a steady stream of invitations, he was too lazy to deal with these people, so he simply closed the door and hid himself. to the palace.

It's just that there is no peace in the palace. Seeing that the youngest son will be almost thirty in two years, but he doesn't even have a caring person to warm the bed, the queen mother can't worry about it. Chu Xiangtian said a marriage.

After the wives and ladies had dispersed, Chu Xiangcai came back from the outside and sat down in front of the queen mother in a well-mannered manner.

The Queen Mother has always been good-tempered, but she also became angry when she saw him not caring at all, "Are you planning to make me die so I can't close my eyes?!"

Chu Xiangtian suddenly had a toothache, but he didn't dare to push back, so he could only explain again: "I have someone I like."

"Then tell me which family you are from." The Queen Mother didn't believe it at all, "Don't use this to perfuse me again."

It's not that the queen mother doesn't want to believe him, it's that Chu Xiangtian has used this set of rhetoric too many times over the years, without any credibility.

Chu Xiangtian's head was buzzing, so he had to explain honestly, "It's not a lady from any family, but a son of the Fu family, named Fu Tian."

The queen mother who was about to pretend to cry was taken aback for a moment, "Which Fu family?" Then she reacted and said in amazement, "Is it a man?"

Now that he said it, Chu Xiangtian didn't hide it anymore, and simply opened the skylight to speak bluntly, "It's the Fu family in Nanming County. I'm going to propose a marriage before the New Year's Eve. It's best to fix the wedding date. Coax people back and tell you."

His marriage is not a trivial matter. The prince who holds the military power is also the emperor's younger brother. All the aristocratic families are staring at him. He doesn't want to make troubles. He originally wanted to wait for the marriage to be finalized before announcing the news. Even the queen mother and the emperor kept it secret. It was really forced by the Queen Mother to die, so I had no choice but to tell the truth.

The queen mother looked at him blankly, this time she didn't pretend, but her eyes were really red, "If you are worried about arousing suspicion, you can find a commoner woman, why..." Why find a man.

Although the Empress Dowager did not intervene in the affairs of the court, she also knew that since the eldest son ascended the throne, there were many voices suggesting that he take back the military power.

As the same descendant, Chu Xiangtian also holds half of the military power of the Great Chu, so it is difficult not to arouse people's suspicion.

Chu Xiangtian had been unwilling to get married before, and it was probably the same. If a majestic prince were to get married, the woman's family background must be not low. Once she was provoked by someone with a heart, it would probably be another tragedy of brothers fighting against each other.

"It's not because of Brother Huang," Chu Xiangtian explained in a rare serious manner, "I really like him."

The Queen Mother answered in a daze, and she didn't know if she listened or not. Anyway, when Chu Xiangtian left, she was still out of her mind.

Then that night, the emperor came into his bedroom with two jugs of wine.

"have a drink?"

No need to think about Chu Xiangtian, he also knew that the day's events must have reached him.

The two brothers sat on the roof of the palace, each with a jug of wine. Chu Fengyuan drank a few sips sullenly, and then patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "Those words...you don't have to pay attention."

Chu Xiangtian frowned, and said in distress, "What did the queen mother tell you?"

Chu Fengyuan said "Yes", their brothers depended on each other since they were young. Although the queen mother was the main palace, she was not favored. In addition, the mother's family was withered, and the emperor supported the imperial concubine's line, so their mother and son were struggling in the palace.

It was Chu Xiangtian who risked his life and went to the border, holding military power in exchange for a turning point.
