Chapter 346: The Chaste and Virtuous Woman Who Was Drowned in a Pond by Her Husband’s Family (16)
With each autumn rain, the weather becomes colder, and the people of Sui City begin to put on thick clothes.
The merchant family's mansion may have been unlucky recently, and has been experiencing funerals one after another.
First, I heard that the eldest young lady was jealous by nature. Because she was dissatisfied with her husband taking a concubine, she brutally destroyed the eldest young master's offspring.
This made the master and his wife angry, and regardless of their relationship with the Meng family, they directly punished the eldest mistress according to the family rules.
It’s a pity that this young woman, who was only in her twenties, died young and her soul returned to heaven.
The Meng family came and made a big fuss. The wife of the nobleman fainted on the spot and was never rescued.
One life became two, the Meng family had to swallow their anger and endure the consequences, but the ones who died were all daughters of the Meng family!
Not long after this happened, before the white banners hanging in the mansion were taken down, Shang Yuanwai died of grief over the passing of his wife.
Although there are frequent rumors that Shang Yuanwai is a bunny, people now also express their feelings that an old couple who have been married for a lifetime probably have some feelings for each other.
Now, there are only three proper masters left in the mansion, the increasingly gloomy eldest master, the widowed second mistress, and the third young lady who lost her father and mother at a young age.
The young master of the eldest wife's house is now taken care of by Aunt Bai herself.
It is said that all the big and small matters in the front and back yards fell on the second young lady's thin shoulders.
This poor woman, who came from the market and was famous for her beauty, managed everything in a very vivid and colorful way.
The business of the merchant's several stores was running in an orderly manner, and all affairs in the backyard were even more orderly.
But the good times did not last long, as this business, which had always been active in the conversations of ordinary people, encountered another major incident.
The illegitimate son of Master Shang Er who was left outside unexpectedly came all the way from the south, overcoming numerous hardships and dangers, and finally found the door!
Speaking of Master Shang Er, he was also a legendary man. He traveled far and wide, had a wide range of knowledge, was handsome and elegant, and was the ideal husband in the hearts of many women in Sui City.
Unfortunately, God is jealous of talented people. After the second master Shang built up a fortune, he suddenly fell ill and died without leaving any offspring. The huge estate had to be entrusted to the eldest brother's family.
This time an illegitimate child suddenly appeared, is it true or false?
Many of the relatives of the Shang family were old and had poor eyesight. They squinted at the young man in front of them and began to murmur in their hearts.
The age matches and the looks are somewhat similar, except that he is a little shorter and thinner.
He has a pale face, a thin body, a hoarse voice, and two thick eyebrows that make him look a bit like Lao Er.
The young man stood there with his back straight, as if relaxed. "If the elders don't believe me, we can do a blood test to prove our relationship. My cousin is still alive, and this blood relationship cannot be concealed."
"Yes, yes, yes! Great idea! Use blood test to identify relatives! I'll do it right away! Send someone to invite the young master over!"
The young man was full of confidence, he sat there waiting patiently, and after two quarters of an hour he was able to answer questions about the merchant's affairs fluently, and he could even tell stories about the second master's past, so that several relatives believed him about 70% to 80%.
Shang Yifan was helped in listlessly. He felt a dull pain in his lower body. His wounds would never heal, and he also caught a cold. He had a fever at night and coughed during the day.
The doctor said it was caused by the wound and I should rest and recuperate.
Looking at the man sitting in the first chair at the bottom, Shang Yifan rolled his eyes. He looked a very familiar man.
"this?"
The clan leader introduced: "Yifan, this is your cousin, Shang Zhen."
Shang Yifan's eyes widened. Cousin? Where did his cousin come from? His second uncle was poisoned, so he would not have any offspring. Even if there were any, they should have been killed by his father.
Shang Zhen curled his lips and smiled at him, and Shang Yifan felt that the smile was familiar. However, although this face looked delicate and the person was thin like a woman, there was an Adam's apple in the throat and the chest was flat. How could he associate it with his younger brother and sister-in-law at home?
"No...impossible..."
"Cousin, my father once went to Guangdong and Guangxi to do business. He and my mother got married there, but they parted ways later. Twenty years have passed without any news. My mother has always believed that my father abandoned us. Now it seems that there are many misunderstandings. I came back so that my mother can be buried in the mourning hall of our business."
Shang Yifan still didn't dare to believe it, but the other party took out a token of his second uncle.
Shang Zhen stood up and bowed: "How about we do a blood test now to confirm my relationship with my mother as soon as possible? What do you think, elders?"
The clan members had no objection and brought the bowl over. Shang Zhen bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood into it.
His hands were slender and beautiful. As Shang Yifan was thinking this, someone had already pricked him with a needle and a few drops of blood had dripped into his hands.
The blood quickly blended together.
The ancients were ignorant and no longer had any doubts.
Just like that, Shang Zhen returned in force as the second son of the Shang family.
When Shang Yifan returned to the mansion, he didn't know what had happened. He went out for some fresh air and his nose was blocked. He lay on the bed and didn't want to move.
Bai Ling brought the child, brought a bowl of medicine, and served him to drink.
Shang Yifan didn't notice that Bai Ling's hands were shaking slightly.
.
Shang Zhen’s return means having another master for the Shang family.
Perhaps he inherited the business talent of the second master Shang. When he heard the second young lady say that it was inconvenient for her, a widow, to go out to do business, he completely passed the burden of the outside world to Master Shang Zhen.
The eldest son Shang Yifan decided to go alone to send his parents' coffins back to his hometown in Yangcheng for burial.
The Shang family's roots are in Yangcheng, but in the early years they had to move to Suicheng because of the cold and poor climate there.
Now he has to travel thousands of miles to his hometown, which everyone doesn't understand.
But this is a family matter, even the clan members don’t care, so who will the common people care about?
So one winter morning, when the sky was still foggy and light had not yet come through, a large group of people, carrying two coffins, left the city.
The team did not head north, but went to a sparsely populated valley and carried the coffin down.
Listening carefully, one of the coffins could hear a slight groan.
Wang Ping knocked and gave the order: "Bury it. Stay for a day, and then you can return to Suicheng."
This group of people were all good friends of Wang Ping. Now they all made a living in the escort agency owned by the merchant, and they obeyed Wang Ping's orders in everything.
The coffin was buried in the ground, and the faint cry for help could no longer be heard.
After Wang Ping finished his work, he changed his clothes, mounted his horse and headed straight for the merchant.
Gu Zhen was clacking away on her abacus. When she saw Wang Ping, she said in a hoarse voice, "Did you deal with Shang Yifan?"
"Sister...Master Shang Zhen, everything has been taken care of."
Gu Zhen smiled, and her sticky short and thick beard moved. Her makeup skills had been honed over several worlds, and although she couldn't say that she was perfect, she could at least fool these ancients.
Coupled with the stimulation of drugs, her voice became as hoarse as a man's.
It is much more convenient to go out and do business as the second son of a merchant.
Now the entire mansion is finally under her control.
When Shang Yuanlin just died, Gu Zhen turned his yard upside down. Only then did he realize that the old man had hidden a lot of gold, silver and treasures.
There are also various letters that record the fact that he murdered his younger brother and embezzled property.
Gu Zhen then came up with a plan and returned as the illegitimate son of the second master Shang.
She sorted out her plans and asked Wang Ping to go back first.
Gu Zhen walked to the east courtyard alone. Now Bai Ling, with her child, and the third lady Shang Yongle were all crowded in this courtyard.
When they saw Gu Zhen dressed as a man, they were so scared that they dared not speak.
Shang Yongle didn't know that this person was his second sister-in-law, but Bai Ling knew it clearly.
Because Gu Zhen never thought of hiding it from her!
Gu Zhen smiled slightly: "Third sister, have you thought about what I said?"
