In the Fuxi Hall, several wives served in front of the old matriarch's bed, while the others were either in the main room or side room, or were waiting in the yard.

The old matriarch was about to get up after waking up, the eldest lady helped her to sit up, and the third lady took a cushion for her to lean on.

The old lady hurriedly asked: "Is there any news from the fourth brother and the fourth family?"

The eldest lady replied: "Not yet, mother, don't worry, as soon as there is news, I will definitely send someone to send a letter back."

"The fourth son is just such a son. Although he is a bit spoiled, his nature is not bad. How could he beat someone to death?"

The old lady beat her chest anxiously, and several wives hurriedly persuaded her.

The second wife couldn't help but slander, the second and third sons only have one son, why didn't they develop Yang Chen's virtue?

She stood behind the sisters-in-law, wanting to help, but there were so many people that she was not needed.

After Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan arrived, they fished in troubled waters in the yard, pretending they were not late.

Yang Guang approached them and said in a low voice: "I heard that boy Yang Chen was robbing women with others in the brothel last night, and was found lying outside a tavern on Gaoshan Street in the morning, with a corpse beside him."

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, "Where's the boy next to him?"

"I don't know where you went?"

"There may be something strange about this matter." Yang Jiming was thoughtful.

The plot in the book officially started after the heroine married into the Hou's mansion, and most of the previous events are just a brief introduction.

In the book, the Sifang family stayed until the end, and I think this time the matter can be resolved smoothly.

Yang Guang said with disdain on his face: "Isn't it because Yang Chen often caused trouble everywhere? He deserves it."

Shang Jiayan glanced around and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, you can't talk nonsense, be careful if someone overhears you, or something will happen again."

"Understood, I listen to the third sister-in-law." Yang Guang said with a smile.

Yang Jiming gave him a sideways look, "In front of your sister-in-law, she looks like a good baby."

"This is because I respect my third sister-in-law as my own brother." After speaking, Yang Guang gave his third brother a supercilious look.

The eldest lady and the second lady helped the old lady to the main room, one on the left and the other on the right, and sat on the soft couch.

The old lady said to her sons: "If you have something to do, you should do it first. You don't have to stay with me, as long as you have your daughters-in-law with me."

Yang Zhengyi and others hesitated for a few seconds before standing up and saluting to leave.

The old lady sighed, and said to the left and right: "Let the juniors go back too. Grandma has received their filial piety."

"Yes." The servant girl responded and went to pass on the message.

Yang Boying took the lead to greet the old matriarch in the hall, and the juniors left.

The old lady called Yang Jiming to stop, and kept the young couple behind.

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan waited at the side, and they could think of what the old lady was going to say without guessing.

Sure enough, the old matriarch said: "Ji Ming, you are working in Shuntian Mansion. You should take part in your cousin's affairs."

Yang Jiming replied: "But according to the old lady's orders."

The old lady couldn't help choking, her face darkened for a while.

Shang Jiayan said: "Old Madam, what Ji Ming means is that as long as there is a place where he can help, he will definitely help."

After the words fell, the old matriarch's face softened a little, and he said: "What's your idea, do you want to send someone to Shuntian Mansion to say something nice?" This question was actually asked by Yang Jiming, just to let him Also go to Shuntian Mansion to make connections and work it out.

Yang Jiming replied: "I heard that the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt have gone to Shuntian Mansion, why don't we wait for them to come back and see what to do next."

The old lady looked at him fixedly, and said word by word: "Ji Ming has really improved."

This time, Shang Jiayan didn't make a sound.

Based on what he knew about Xu Yihuan, if Yang Jiming did the thing of champering the lawsuit, he would not only destroy his own future, but also be sent to prison by Xu Yihuan.It's okay for a cousin to help a cousin, but you can't help without a bottom line and principles.

The couple bowed their heads together in silence, the old lady's complexion was ugly to the naked eye.

At this time, the eldest lady said: "Mother, what Ji Ming said makes sense. Don't worry, wait for the news to come back."

The old lady had a headache and waved them all back.

The eldest lady and the second lady went to do things in the mansion, while the third lady and the fifth lady stayed behind.

Yang Jiming dragged Shang Jiayan back to Chenxiangyuan quickly.

He was so hungry that his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

The meals were all hot, and when the servants saw them coming back, they quickly put them on the table again.

After taking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Yang Jiming felt better in his stomach.

Shang Jiayan held the chopsticks without moving, said distressed and guilty: "Blame me, you should eat some food before going over."

"It's not your fault, it's me. You shouldn't be lingering on the bed. The old lady fainted, we went too late, and it's inevitable that people who care about you will say it's unfilial."

Hearing this, Shang Jiayan said it in his heart. It is very important for the couple to understand and tolerate each other.

He pursed his lips lightly and smiled, "Hurry up and eat."

After dinner, Yang Jiming went to study with Hu Haiyang, but Shang Jiayan stayed in the small study to read by himself.

Yang Jiming didn't ask anything, just said: "Jing Shuo, you can read with me."

"Okay." Shang Jiayan took the travel journal and sat beside him.

After Yang Jiming read the book for a while, his eyes shifted to Shang Jiayan, only to see that he was engrossed in the book, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

After reading five or six chapters in a row, Shang Jiayan subconsciously looked up at Yang Jiming, and found that he was looking at him stupidly, and was stunned.

"Why do you see me, why don't you read a book?"

"My daughter-in-law is beautiful."

"Stop talking nonsense, read the book quickly. Don't forget what you said yourself, you have to take the test for children."

"Yes, daughter-in-law." Yang Jiming deliberately prolonged the ending and grinned.

Shang Jiayan didn't hold back his smile, he burst out laughing.

Yang Jiming turned to look at him, and said with a confident smile, "Jing Shuo, why don't you come and test me to see how likely I am to pass the children's test."

Shang Jiayan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

Here, the young couple are reading and studying affectionately.On the other side, the people in the fourth room became ants on the hot pot in a hurry.

Xu Yihuan personally interrogated Yang Chen, but Yang Chen refused to plead guilty, insisting that he was wronged.

He confessed that after leaving the Yanyu building with the boy last night, the man named Yuansen caught up with him and said that he would buy him a drink as an apology.

They found a nearby tavern to drink, and when he woke up, it was already the next morning. He was found lying on the side of the road with Yuan Sen's body beside him, and his servant had disappeared .

Xu Yihuan put Yang Chen in prison for a while, and asked him to conduct an autopsy, and at the same time asked Zhang Yong to investigate the relationship between the deceased and so on.

After Yang Zhengpeng and Luo Shi came to Shuntian Mansion, they first went to see Xu Yihuan.

Xu Yihuan said to them: "Your son's case is still under investigation, I will temporarily put him in prison, you two can go and see him."

Yang Zhengpeng and his wife thanked Xu Yihuan, and a guard led them to see Yang Chen in prison.

Yang Chen cried out for his father and mother, complaining for grievances, and insisted that he didn't know.

He cried and said, "Father, mother, I'm drunk, I don't know anything, I don't even know how I slept outside the tavern." After finishing speaking, he sneezed several times.

Luo Shi wiped his tears distressedly, "In such a cold day, if you sleep outside for one night, you will freeze to death? Chen'er, mother, go and invite a doctor for you."

"I'm locked up here now, wrongly murdered, why do I need to see a doctor?"

Yang Zhengpeng asked, "Where's your boy named Tie Pi?"

Yang Chen's eyes widened suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He's gone! Dad, it must be the iron sheet! He killed someone and escaped, and framed me!"

Hearing this, Luo Shi stopped crying, "Master, let's send someone to find out that thing that was eaten inside and out."

Yang Zhengpeng nodded, "I will make arrangements when I return home, and I will definitely find him."

Yang Chen choked with sobs. Since he was a child, he was well-clothed and well-fed. When did he suffer from such a crime?Seeing him like this, Luo Shi couldn't help wiping away tears again.

Yang Zhengpeng glanced at the jailer and the policeman who brought them here out of the corner of his eye, and said to Yang Chen: "Chen'er, don't worry, Mr. Xu will definitely return your innocence."

After they left the prison, Luo Shi went to invite a doctor over, and Xu Yihuan agreed.

Yang Zhengpeng went back to the mansion and reported the matter to the old matriarch in person, and said to the old matriarch: "Chen'er is telling the truth, he didn't kill him. Although he did something wrong, he never dared to harm him. It is even more impossible to sleep with the dead body on the side of the road for one night after killing someone.”

The old matriarch pondered slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Chen'er was framed by someone."

Yang Zhengpeng frowned, and said, "Mother, I also have this doubt. However, it is not long before Chen'er returns to Beijing, who would harm him? Only Ji Ming and Jiang Shumao have ever had a direct confrontation with him. .”

The old lady's face was very dark, and she was silent for a while before saying, "It can't be Ji Ming."

"I also believe it can't be him, it might be Jiang Shumao."

The old lady finally avoided the topic.If Yang Jiming framed Yang Chen, it would be a big scandal in Wu Muhou's mansion.If it was Jiang Shumao who framed Yang Chen, Wu Muhou's House and Wu Ninghou's House would definitely turn their backs.

Such an ending was not what she wanted to see.

The old matriarch said: "Find out that boy first, if you want to see a person, you need to see a corpse."

Yang Zhengpeng said: "I have already sent people to look for it. I will ask my elder brother for help and send more people to look for it together."

In the small study of Chenxiangyuan, Yang Jiming was dragged away by Shang Jiayan to continue reading.

Shang Jiayan said: "Although Mr. Hu said that the problem is not serious, he is not [-]% sure, and he still cannot relax."

After the children's test, you can take the college test, and you are a scholar if you pass the test.Like the children's examination, the courtyard examination in this dynasty is also held once a year, and the time is usually set in May.

Shang Jiayan was looking forward to Yang Jiming's efforts to test himself as a scholar.However, he also knew that with Yang Jiming's current knowledge, he could pass the children's examination with a high probability, but the chance of passing the college examination was low.

Huai An knocked on the door outside the study, "Young Master, Young Madam, Sister Hongye who is beside Da Madam is here."

Yang Jiming and Shang Jiayan couldn't help but put down the books in their hands, looked at each other, and walked out together.

Hong Ye stepped forward to salute, and said: "Third Young Master, Third Young Madam, Da Madam invites you two to the main courtyard for dinner, let me say something first."

Yang Jiming nodded slightly.

Shang Jiayan said: "Miss Hongye has made a trip, let's tidy up and go to the main courtyard to serve mother."

Hong Ye smiled and said, "Third Young Master and Third Young Madam are interested, I have to go and inform the kitchen, and I will leave first."

Shang Jiayan nodded, and Hongye bowed and left.

Yang Jiming said: "Mother told us to go there because of Yang Chen's business, right?"

"It should be." Shang Jiayan couldn't help frowning, praying in his heart that this matter would not be too troublesome.The exam is coming soon, and he hopes that Yang Jiming will not be disturbed by other things and can concentrate on preparing for the exam.

"I used to work in Shuntian Mansion, but if Yang Chen really committed a crime and fell into Master Xu's hands, no one can help him."
