The place where my heart goes to farming
Chapter 28
On this day, Mu Chen still went out early.
After Cen Le got up, he finished eating the morning food that Mu Chen had warmed in the pot for him, and then went out with the bamboo basket on his back.
The best flowers to make rouge are fresh petals that have just been picked, so he would go to Merlin every morning.
After walking a lot on the mountain road, Cen Le can walk steadily now, but in the morning in the mountains, the temperature is extremely low, even if he wears thick clothes, Cen Le still feels that the cold air will creep in through the cracks, making his hands and feet cold. Can't stop shaking.
Before reaching Merlin, Cen Le had already sneezed several times in a row, and felt his throat was very uncomfortable, dry and itchy.
Shouldn't it be a cold?
Slightly frowning, Cen Le stretched out his hand to gather up his skirt, quickened his pace, and walked faster.
The reaction to the illness came very quickly, and when he walked to Merlin, Cen Le felt his head hurt and his hands and feet were still a little weak.
The cold wind howled, the sky was gloomy, and the sun never came out. Cen Le knew that he could not stay any longer, so he speeded up, picked a bag of dewy plum blossoms, and hurried back to the village.
Coincidentally, at the entrance of the village, he met Yunniang again.
Yunniang held a six or seven-year-old boy in her arms, and although she was struggling, she walked very anxiously.
Cen Le took a closer look, and found that the child's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were closed tightly, and there were many herpes and blisters on his cheeks. It must be chickenpox. Those who have chickenpox cannot see the wind, which will aggravate the condition, and with Yunniang's footsteps , I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go to the medical center.
Thinking of this, Cen Le endured the discomfort, stepped forward and reached out to pick up the boy.
Seeing that it was Cen Le who wanted to help, Yunniang reminded: "I'm afraid Xiaobao has smallpox, and you will be infected."
Cen Le was afraid of wasting time by writing, so he just shook his head, and then looked at her while maintaining his posture.
Yunniang looked down at the child in her arms, gritted her teeth, and let Cen Le take it, thanked her, and followed behind.
The two hurried to the medical hall, Qingzhu saw it, and quickly invited the two in, and asked Cen Le to put the child on the reclining chair in the inner room.
Yunniang couldn't find Gu Fangyou, took a breath, and asked Qingzhu, "Where's Dr. Gu?"
"Someone came to ask Master to see a doctor yesterday. Master has been away all night and hasn't come back yet." Qingzhu squatted down and began to examine the child.
When Yunniang heard this, despair filled her eyes.
While checking, Qingzhu asked Yun Niang: "Sister Yun, when did Xiao Bao appear?"
"After dinner last night, Little Treasure said he was feeling unwell. I didn't take it to heart, so I just let him go to bed first, but when he woke up in the morning, he had a high fever and a rash... It was all me, last night You should take him to see a doctor." Yun Niang's eyes were red, and she blamed herself very much.
Randomly wiping away the tears that were about to fall, Yunniang bit her lip and summoned up her courage to ask, "Xiaobao, did he have... smallpox?"
She used all her strength to say the last two words.
Cen Le was not feeling well before, and he ran all the way with the child in his arms. At this time, he felt a splitting headache. He was going to go back to rest, but after hearing Yunniang's words and seeing her desperate eyes, he took He took out a charcoal pencil and a notebook, and wrote down: "You don't have to worry too much, Xiaobao probably didn't have smallpox, but just got chickenpox, take some medicine, pay attention to rest, and he will be fine."
He had had chickenpox as a child, and later, having seen other children in the orphanage get chickenpox, he could tell it wasn't smallpox.
"Really?" Yun Niang looked at Cen Le suddenly, as if grasping at straws.
Cen Le nodded.
At this time, Qingzhu had finished examining the child, and he told Yunniang, "Brother Cen is right, Xiaobao didn't have smallpox, but chickenpox. If it was smallpox, the rash should be more distributed on the forehead and cheeks." , wrist, arm, torso and lower limbs, I checked just now, Xiaobao mostly concentrated on the chest and back, and the symptoms are also quite different, sister Yun, don't worry."
Hearing this, Yunniang finally settled down.
Qingzhu washed his hands clean, and said again: "I will prescribe some medicine for Xiaobao. Sister Yun, after you take it back, give him torment three times a day. The room should be ventilated more, but be careful not to let Xiaobao suffer any more. It's cold, chickenpox is not a serious illness, take care of it for six or seven days, and you'll be fine."
Yun Niang nodded, "I made a note of it."
After finishing speaking, she walked to the edge of the reclining chair, squatted down and looked at Xiaobao, her eyes were full of pity, and she was also a little grateful.
Cen Le's condition worsened badly, he had no strength in his hands and feet, and he managed to stand upright by holding on to the threshold.
Now that he had nothing to do, he wanted to ask Qingzhu to leave, but before he finished writing, there was a sudden noise outside, and then several men and aunts came in.
Without saying a word or explaining anything, they came in and grabbed Cen Le and Yun Niang respectively, and then took out ropes to tie their hands.
Cen Le struggled hard, trying to push away the person who wanted to grab him, but his whole body was limp, and he didn't need any strength at all to push.
Yun Niang was also surprised, she frowned and said, "No reason, what are you going to do?"
"You'll know soon." The aunts who caught her laughed mockingly, looking at her with contempt.
Outside the medical hall, there are already three circles full of people. Most of the people heard the news and came to join in or watch the fun. Now they saw Cen Le and Yun Niang being arrested and thrown on the ground , They looked at the two of them and pointed.
"When Zhou Mo's child was going to marry Yunniang, I said that Yunniang's appearance is too outstanding, and her character is disobedient, so she will definitely be restless in the future. Later, I saw that the husband and wife are doing well. I still feel that I am wrong, and feel embarrassed every time I meet them, but I never thought that it would still come true today... Sigh, poor Zhou Mo is so infatuated."
"Bah, she was originally a lewd-slut. If you want me to tell you, she should have been buried long ago. Since Zhou Mo's death, she has flirted with so many men in the village, causing them to lose their souls and be fascinated one by one." I'm obsessed with ghosts, thinking about her every day."
"By the way, I also heard something, that Yunniang and this foreigner have been hooking up for a long time, and that Mu Chen will rescue this foreigner in the mountains that day, it seems that it is because he was originally in the mountains. A tryst with Yunniang."
"Speaking of which, I also saw them meeting at the entrance of the village a few days ago, what a shame!"
……
The villagers talked to each other without hesitation, and spoke loudly without any hesitation. Their words were full of contempt for Cen Le and Yun Niang, and they looked at them with disdain, as if they were all witnessed by themselves. The rhetoric is conclusive, certainly endless.
Yun Niang frowned, she glanced at the crowd, and then looked at an old man and two middle-aged men standing in the front.
These three people are members of the Zhou clan, the old man is the uncle of the Zhou family, and the other two are the sons of the old man, the uncle and the second uncle of the Zhou family.
Zhou Mo's grandfather, parents passed away early, so after Zhou Mo's death, Zhou's uncle and second uncle drove Yunniang out and left her alone.
"Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, what do you mean?" Yun Niang questioned, "For no reason, why did you tie me and Cen Le up and cause such a big fight."
"Shameless whore, do you still have the face to ask why we tied you?" Uncle Zhou pointed at her and said angrily, "If no one comes to tell us, we don't know yet. , is simply shameless!"
Yunniang froze for a moment.
Only then did she finally understand that she and Cen Le were framed by someone for no reason, but she had never done it before, so she was not afraid.
"Uncle, do you think so too?" She looked straight at the old man with no expression on her face.
The old man kept a straight face and said nothing, but he looked at Yunniang with disappointment.
Uncle Zhou said again: "Have you done it? Don't you know? Everyone has sued us. You are not ashamed, we are ashamed."
Cen Le listened to the discussions around him, and also to the quarrel between Yunniang and Zhou's second uncle, and felt his head hurting more and more.
He didn't know when he had an affair with Yun Niang. He wanted to defend himself, but because he couldn't speak, his hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't write, so he couldn't refute.
For the first time, Cen Le hated himself so much for not being able to speak.
The cold wind was still blowing, making Cen Le shiver from the cold, his cheeks and lips were already pale to the point of being bloodless.
All kinds of voices were still going on, but Cen Le suddenly couldn't hear anything, he only felt that the world was spinning before his eyes, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.
Cen Le's sudden coma stopped the villagers who were still chattering, but after a while, they started talking even more vigorously.
It was as if Cen Le's coma was acquiescing to their words.
"Cen Le!"
Yunniang called Cen Le a few times in a row, and found that his cheeks were flushed, his mind was blurred, and he was unconscious. Knowing that he was sick, she hurriedly said to everyone: "He is sick, please help him in and lie down quickly." , see the doctor again!"
"You care so much about him, and you still say there is no adultery?" Some villagers laughed, "I think you should care more about yourself."
"Yeah, who knows if it's real or fake." Another person sarcastically.
Qingzhu endured this, and couldn't bear it anymore, he pushed hard to push away the crowd and walked in, squatting down to give Cen Le his pulse, but just as he stretched out his hand, before his fingertips touched Cen Le, someone pulled him away opened.
"What are you doing!"
The two men did not speak, one on the left and the other on the back restrained Qingzhu, dragged him away, and prevented him from approaching Cen Le.
Qingzhu flushed with anger, "Brother Cen is really sick, if you don't help him in, he will freeze to death."
"It's best to die, so as not to harm others." This sentence was said by Zhu Dazhuang standing at the end of the crowd, and no one paid attention to him.
Someone persuaded Qingzhu earnestly: "You are still young and don't understand anything. He is a foreigner. No one knows his origin. Maybe he is some kind of murderer, arsonist, treacherous person. Isn't it necessary to save him?" Dirty your hands."
"Are you guys sick?" Qing Zhu trembled with anger, and scolded angrily, "Brother Cen and Sister Yun committed adultery, did any of you see it with your own eyes?"
"We have eyes, don't we know how to see?" At this time, a mean-looking lady in the crowd sneered, "The two of them were standing so close to each other at the head of the village that day, and they held hands together. You can see it all."
After saying this, many people agreed.
However, those who agreed did not actually see Cen Le and Yun Niang holding hands, but saw both of them stretching out their hands from a distance. The theory of holding hands was purely a rumor deliberately spread by Chen Guihong.
Yun Niang laughed out loud: "Oh, have eyes? I'm afraid they are all blind."
She defended herself: "That day, there was at least three steps between Cen Le and I. How can we be considered as sticking together? And the so-called holding hands, you just saw me take a cloth bag from Cen Le, but We haven't even touched our fingertips, the talk of holding hands is simply nonsense!"
"You open your mouth to say that, who can prove it to you?" The mean-looking aunt held her breath and said again.
Yun Niang was frank and frank, without any flinching: "Although no one can prove it, the relationship between Cen Le and I is pure and clear, and there is absolutely no such messy relationship as you said."
"That means no one can prove it?" It was the second uncle of the Zhou family who spoke.
Yunniang asked him back: "Then you say that Cen Le and I committed adultery, do you have any solid evidence? As soon as they say it, I really did it?"
The second uncle of the Zhou family blushed, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the uncle of the Zhou family. He glanced at Yunniang, and said sharply: "I think you will not die until the Yellow River, since you want evidence , then I will give you evidence."
He stretched out his hand to shake out a bag, and threw it in front of Yunniang, "Take a good look for yourself, isn't this your token of love!"
There was only a small bag of jade given by Cen Le, a few boxes of rouge, and jewelry made by her.
Yun Niang looked at him as if she was watching a joke, "Is this the evidence you said, Uncle?"
The uncle of the Zhou family said angrily: "Do you still want me to read those two extremely obscene letters to you? Yuniang, do you want to lose face?"
"Letter? What letter?" Yun Niang frowned.
Lowering her head again, Yunniang looked carefully at the contents of the bag, and she saw two letters.
She shook her head and said, "I have never written or received such a letter."
"Death is imminent, and I still want to argue." The second uncle of the Zhou family stared at her, "It's not yours, it can still run to your house on its own."
"And these rouge, didn't he give it to you? I've already taken it to the city to ask. In the entire Suzhou city, there is no shop that sells this kind of rouge, but I found it at Cen Le's residence, and the letter said Written clearly, it is his gift to you as a token."
"The rouge was not given to me by Cen Le." Yun Niang denied.
She didn't know about Cen Le making rouge.
The second uncle of the Zhou family sneered: "It wasn't him, did you buy it yourself? Tell me, where did you find the rouge that is not sold in the city?"
"I--"
"Okay, stop arguing."
Knocking on the crutches, Uncle Zhou said openly, "Yunniang, don't argue, before we came, we had already searched Cen Le's room accompanied by Uncle Muchen and Auntie, and found the same rouge. As for the letters, I have also found someone to check the handwriting, and there is indeed one letter that was written by you, now, you only need to see if the other letter is written by this foreigner, and the truth will be revealed."
After finishing speaking, he gestured to the two people standing beside Cen Le, they nodded, bent down and took out the notebook from Cen Le's arms.
Passing the notebook to a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, the Zhou family uncle said fairly: "Master Li, please identify it again."
Mrs. Li nodded. He opened the letter, opened the notebook again, and looked down to read it.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "The handwriting of these two is from the same person."
Uncle Zhou asked: "The evidence is solid, Yunniang, what else do you have to say?"
Yun Niang had a bad premonition when the letter appeared, but now that the premonition came true, she didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Father, what do you think we should do?" Zhou's second uncle asked.
Uncle Zhou sighed, "I don't want to worry about it anymore, you can figure it out."
"Brother, what do you think?" He looked at Uncle Zhou again.
Uncle Zhou looked at Yunniang, then at Cen Le, and pondered: "According to the rules, widows who commit adultery are supposed to be immersed in pig cages, but Yunniang gave birth to a child for our Zhou family anyway. Zhou Mo loves her deeply again... Anyway, let's tie the two of them up and send them up the mountain, if they can survive, it's luck, and our Zhou family will not pursue this matter."
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Li Zheng, "Please be a witness. After this incident, no matter whether Yunniang is dead or alive, she will have nothing to do with our Zhou family. Our Zhou family will no longer have any This daughter-in-law."
Li Zheng nodded and agreed.
Qingzhu was anxious beside him, he stomped his feet, his whole body was extremely angry, but there were people clamping him on the left and right, with great strength, he couldn't break free at all, he could only watch Cen Le and Yun Niang being tied together , and shut his mouth.
Standing in the crowd, Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong couldn't help looking at each other and laughing when they saw this scene.
Although the matter of Rouge was somewhat unexpected, the effect was better than what they had originally imagined. They were very satisfied with the result.
As for whether Yunniang was implicated, they didn't care at all.
—
Seeing that Yunniang and Cen Le were about to be sent up the mountain, suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and it was Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen who rushed back together.
The two horses stopped outside the crowd. Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen dismounted one after another, and then hugged Chen Sheng and Chen Jun, who were pale-faced.
As soon as Chen Sheng heard about this, he hurried to the city, went to Song's house and told Gu Fangyou, and Gu Fangyou found Mu Chen again.
Seeing them, Qingzhu's eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Mu, Master!"
Gu Fangyou glanced at the two people holding the green bamboo, they froze in fright, and quickly let go of their hands.
After being free, Qingzhu immediately ran to Gu Fangyou's side, and quickly told him and Mu Chen about the matter from the beginning to the end.
After finishing speaking, he told Mu Chen again: "Brother Cen is sick, he has a high fever and has fallen into a coma..."
Before Qing Zhu finished speaking, Mu Chen had already pushed away the villagers who were blocking the way. His eyes were cold and his face was fierce, which frightened the villagers so that they did not dare to resist. No one stopped him, so Mu Chen came straight to Cen Le and stretched out his hand to untie the After pulling the rope, he bent down and hugged Cen Le.
Yun Niang finally recovered from the nonexistent letter, she stood up, and walked out of the encirclement with Mu Chen.
"Stop." The uncle of the Zhou family was the first to react. He looked at Mu Chen, and said with anger: "This is a family matter of our Zhou family. The person in your arms has committed adultery with my Zhou family's wife. According to the rules, they will be punished." , you cannot interfere."
Hugging Cen Le into him, Mu Chen endured the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter, I'll come back and talk about it after I send him into the house."
"you……"
The second uncle of the Zhou family was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Gu Fangyou, his eyes were a little cold, and he said with a half-smile: "When Mu Chen comes out, I will explain it to you, and now Cen Le is my patient, you guys Nobody can take him away."
He ordered Qing Zhu: "Go in and give Cen Le a diagnosis and treatment."
"Understood, Master." Without stopping, Qing Zhu turned around and walked back to the medical hall quickly.
Turning his head to look at Yunniang, Gu Fangyou's eyes flashed with pity, and he asked softly, "What's the matter with you?"
Yun Niang rubbed her wrists, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just hurt Cen Le."
The second uncle of the Zhou family was even more angry when he saw Yunniang and Gu Fangyou talking in a low voice. He said angrily, "Yunniang, do you still have any shame?"
Gu Fangyou frowned.
"I didn't do anything wrong." Yun Niang looked directly at the three of Zhou's family with a frank expression.
"Do you think we won't be able to do anything to you when Doctor Gu and Mu Chen are back?" Zhou's second uncle was furious.
Yunniang ignored him, but lowered her head, thinking to herself where the two letters came from, and why they had something to do with Rouge.
The rouge was given to him by Gu Fangyou, and has nothing to do with Cen Le, and the letter was not written by her and Cen Le, but the letter was written by both of them. where are they.
To kill her, or to kill Cen Le?She doesn't quite understand.
Looking at the three members of the Zhou family, Gu Fangyou suddenly asked, "Can you show me the letter you have been talking about?"
Uncle Zhou waved his hand, "As long as Dr. Gu doesn't think it will stain his eyes, let's take a look."
The second uncle of the Zhou family felt ashamed and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly handing the letter to Gu Fangyou.
Gu Fangyou was not polite, he opened it directly and looked at it. With just one glance, he recognized that the handwriting on it was not from Yunniang's hand.
He didn't read the rest of it again, and picked up another letter. Similarly, he also recognized the handwriting on the letter, which wasn't Cen Le's.
He had seen the handwriting written by Cen Le with a brush before, and it was completely different from the handwriting on the letter.
As for the content of the letter, it was even more absurd. He gave Yunniang the rouge in his hand, and he knew this better than anyone else.
Gu Fangyou said directly to Uncle Zhou's family: "Uncle Zhou, with all due respect, what is said in this letter is completely nonsense."
On the side, the second uncle of the Zhou family asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Fangyou didn't answer him first, but pointed to the rouge on the ground and asked, "Is this rouge the evidence you said?"
"good."
Gu Fangyou laughed, "But these rouges were not given to Yunniang by Cen Le, but by me." He told the truth.
"What?" The three members of the Zhou family were all surprised, and the uncle of the Gu family said, "Doctor Gu, you can't say that nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. When I gave it to Yunniang, someone saw it." Gu Fangyou said, "Ms. Tu in the west of the village saw it with her own eyes. I also gave her a box. If you don't believe me, you can Ask her to come and ask."
I signaled to the second uncle of the Zhou family, and asked him to ask Aunt Tu to come over, and the uncle of the Zhou family asked again: "But Doctor Gu, where did your rouge come from? Why did we also find the rouge in the residence of the stranger?" ?”
Gu Fangyou said: "My rouge was given to me by Cen Le. He is learning how to make rouge. Part of the finished product was given to me, and part to the young master of the Qin family. If you don't believe me, you can let someone go." Please come and confront Young Master Qin."
Hearing this, the uncle of the Zhou family and the uncle of the Zhou family looked at each other, and they were silent. They were waiting for the second uncle of the Zhou family to invite Mrs. Tu.
Seeing that there is a follow-up to this big drama, and the situation has been completely reversed, the villagers watched it with great interest, and at the same time they were still discussing in a low voice.
Gu Fangyou has always lived freely and recklessly, never caring about other people's eyes, as long as it does not touch his bottom line, he will not care, so even if he heard the villagers talking about him at this time, he pretended not to hear it.
At this time, Mu Chen finally came out, he walked out again with Cen Le, who was awake, with half support and half hug.
Cen Le was still very weak, almost put all his strength on Mu Chen's body, and his posture was nestled in Mu Chen's arms.
Maintaining their posture, the two walked to Gu Fangyou's side together.
Gu Fangyou handed the letter to Mu Chen, and told him and Cen Le concisely what he had discovered in a low voice.
Cen Le shook his head lightly at Mu Chen.
—He didn't do any of these things.
Holding Cen Le's shoulders tightly, Mu Chen lowered his eyes, his attitude was very gentle, "I know, I believe you."
Looking across all the villagers again, and finally falling on Zhou's uncle and uncle, Mu Chen said firmly, "The letter was not written by Cen Le."
The villager who had a good thing asked: "I have just experienced that the handwriting on the letter is the same as that written by Cen Le. How do you explain this?"
Mu Chen said: "It is because of the same reason that we can be sure that this letter is not from Cen Le, but someone deliberately forged it."
He turned his head and told Chen Sheng: "You go to the medical center and bring out a chair, and then get the paper and pen together."
"I'll go right away." Chen Sheng responded, and then followed Mu Chen's instructions to bring a chair, paper and pen.
Lowering his head, Mu Chen asked Cen Le: "Can you write?"
Cen Le nodded slightly and smiled weakly.
Taking the letter from Mu Chen, Cen Le picked up the pen, and re-wrote it on the white paper according to the contents of the letter.
Seeing this scene, Zhou's uncle and uncle looked at each other, not understanding what Mu Chen and Cen Le meant.
Uncle Zhou asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't worry, you will understand later." Gu Fangyou understood what Mu Chen was thinking, and said something for Mu Chen.
Cen Le wrote very quickly, and he copied it in a short time. He put down the pen, dried the ink on the paper, and handed it to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen took it and passed it to Uncle Zhou, "Please see."
Puzzled, the uncle of the Zhou family lowered his head to take a look. After reading it, his expression became serious, and he gave it to the uncle of the Zhou family.
Uncle Zhou's face was very gloomy after watching it.
Cen Le's handwriting was not at all similar to the handwriting on the letter. They wrote it while looking at Cen Le, and Cen Le couldn't fake it at all.
At the same time, the second uncle of the Zhou family also brought Aunt Tu back.
Aunt Tu confirmed that what Gu Fangyou said was not a lie.
"I remember it clearly. On that day, Dr. Gu suddenly took out several boxes of rouge and said that he would give it to Yun Niang and me. I am already in my fifties. It is useless to take too many. I only need one box. I asked Yunniang to accept the others. I still remember very clearly that Dr. Gu took out five boxes of rouge, I took one box, and Yunniang had four boxes."
After hearing the words, the second uncle of the Zhou family went to count, shook his head and said, "That's not right, there are six boxes in total here."
Aunt Tu hated people questioning him the most, so she said with a straight face, "I won't remember wrongly."
Cen Le asked Mu Chen to help him there, he knelt down and opened every box of rouge, and finally picked out two boxes, "I didn't make these."
After thinking about it, he wrote another sentence: "This is red and blue flower rouge. All I make are dew rouge, and they are made of plum blossoms."
The types of rouge can be recognized by any woman.
Gu Fangyou invited a few young women from the crowd and asked them to take a closer look. After reading it, they all agreed with Cen Le's words.
This matter has developed to this point, even if he is as reckless as the second uncle of the Zhou family, he has also discovered many doubts and noticed that something is wrong.
Uncle Zhou and uncle's expressions were ugly, "What's going on!"
"This question, I'm afraid I have to ask the mastermind of this matter." Gu Fangyou's tone turned cold in vain, "Zhu Dazhuang, you are running in such a hurry, where do you want to go?"
Seeing this, Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong knew that the situation was not good, and they both wanted to leave. They had been standing at the back of the crowd, not attracting much attention, but Gu Fangyou's voice directly turned everyone's attention to them body.
Chen Guihong was startled, and quickly retreated into the crowd, acting as a bystander, ready to blame Zhu Dazhuang for everything.
Being watched by everyone, Zhu Dazhuang couldn't run anymore. He pursed his lips to hide his fear and nervousness, then turned around and smiled at Gu Fangyou, saying, "Doctor Gu, what did you ask me to do? You’re just a theatergoer, you haven’t done anything bad.”
"Oh, you dare to say it." Gu Fangyou looked at him coldly.
After realizing it, Uncle Zhou asked: "Doctor Gu, what do you mean, he forged letters to frame Yunniang and Cen Le for having an affair?"
"It's not just him." Gu Fangyou glanced at Chen Guihong who was hiding in the crowd, "There is another person."
Chen Guihong held hands and bit her lips tightly, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart.
Looking away, Gu Fangyou waved to Chen Jun and asked him to come to his side: "Tell everyone what you saw before."
Chen Jun grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, and walked timidly beside Gu Fangyou. After realizing that everyone was staring at him, he immediately hid his whole body behind Gu Fangyou, only daring to show his face.
Pulling Chen Jun out again, Gu Fangyou squatted down, his gaze leveled with him, "Don't be afraid, I, Mu Chen, and your brother are all here, no one dares to do anything to you, you just need to tell me what you know, Just tell everyone."
Chen Jun raised his eyes, looked at Gu Fangyou, responded softly, and then stuttered.
"Yesterday, I saw Zhu, Zhu Dazhuang." He took a peek at Zhu Dazhuang, "He took a cloth bag from his aunt, who is a shepherd, and then sneaked into Aunt Yun's house."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately went into an uproar.
The villages around Chen Guihong immediately backed away from her, looking at her in the same way as Zhu Dazhuang.
Unexpectedly being seen by others, Chen Guihong's palms were sweating, she tried her best to restrain her uneasiness, pretended to be calm and said, "Doctor Gu, you made this child say these words because you intend to say that Zhu Dazhuang and I teamed up to frame him. Yunniang and Cen Le?"
She was a formidable person, she pretended to be innocent, and took the opportunity to tell everyone that Chen Jun would say that, it was probably taught by Gu Fangyou.
Gu Fangyou narrowed his eyes and smiled. He didn't defend himself, but just patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, signaling him not to be afraid.
Chen Jun gradually plucked up his courage, "Not only I saw it, but also Sister Yan'er and Brother Xin also saw it."
These two people are Lizheng's grandson and granddaughter, Lin Yan and Lin Xin.
Li Zheng was surprised, "You mean, my Yan'er and Ashin?"
Chen Jun nodded slightly.
Li Zheng said: "I'll go back and bring them two."
His home was not far away, and after a while, he came over with two children in his arms.
Lin Yan and Lin Xin were very happy to see Chen Jun. They trotted over and pinched him, which made Chen Jun's cheeks bulge.
Pulling the two back to his side, Li Zheng asked, "Yesterday, were you with Chen Jun?"
Lin Yan said honestly: "Yes, we are playing hide and seek with Chen Jun."
"Then what did you see? Did you see Zhu Dazhuang and Mrs. Mu's family?" Li Zheng asked again.
"I see." Lin Xin said, "Aunt Mu also gave Zhu Dazhuang a cloth bag, and said something about rouge and letters."
The second uncle of the Zhou family was impatient, he interrupted and asked, "Did you see Zhu Dazhuang sneaking into Yuniang's house?"
Lin Yan nodded: "Yes, Aunt Yun's house is not far from where we play, we saw him climb over the wall and run in."
Li Zheng patted the heads of the two children, "Okay, you guys go play."
Looking at Chen Guihong again, Gu Fangyou asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Guihong tried to remain calm, "I did give Zhu Dazhuang a cloth bag that day, but I saw him drop it and picked it up and returned it to him. What does this prove?"
The smile on her face couldn't hold on any longer, but she knew she couldn't show timidity, or it would be over.
Her eyes fell on Mu Chen, her expression was very innocent, and she tried to ask Mu Chen to help her, "Chen'er, you know how auntie is, you said that I have no grievances or enmity with Yunniang and Cen Le, how can this be so?" Vicious, want to frame them like this?"
Mu Chen pursed his lips and did not answer.
He has always known that Chen Guihong must report his flaws, and the only people in the village who have had an indirect grudge against Cen Le are Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong.
Seeing that Mu Chen was silent, Chen Guihong looked at him blankly, with a hint of murder in her eyes, and she couldn't hide the anger in her heart at once, but she didn't get angry directly, but shed tears, crying Said: "My God, what the hell have I done!"
She cried out Mu Jiang Yuan's name, and said wronged for him and herself, "Yuan'er, you are really kind, why did you sacrifice yourself to save Mu Chen, a white-eyed wolf, and make yourself crippled, do you know that? When he saw your mother being wronged, he didn't come forward to refute..."
Cen Le looked up at Mu Chen, and gestured slowly: "Are you okay?"
Mu Chen shook his head, and put more force on his waist, "It's nothing."
Mu Jiangyuan saved him back then, and he has always kept this kindness in his heart, and he has never forgotten it. In the past ten years, he has been repaying his kindness, even if it caused trouble in the yamen, his deeds have been worthy of the world. People can talk about him.
Sure enough, it was good that Chen Guihong didn't mention Mu Jiangyuan. As soon as he mentioned it, some villagers immediately spoke up for Mu Chen.
"You can't say that. Over the years, Mu Chen has given your family a lot of money. Your house, the golden hairpin on your head, and the money for Mu Lei's study, which one is not from Mu Chen?"
"Yes, yes, let me tell you, even if your family Mu Jiangyuan is doing well, your family may not be able to live a good life now."
"No, Mu Chen has done a good enough job, you can't speak against your conscience."
Chen Guihong was enraged by what the villagers said, and her rational strings were broken. She couldn't help it anymore, and showed her true colors.
"This is my family business. It has nothing to do with you. Even if I took Muchen's money, I deserved it. My family's Yuaner became disabled because of him. He should support us and provide for us. For the rest of his life, he will not be wronged!"
When the surrounding villagers heard this, their eyes widened and they felt embarrassed.
Chen Guihong still wanted to talk, but she suddenly saw Mu Chunsheng who was rushing over, so her expression changed, and she became aggrieved and innocent again.
At the same time, Mu Chunsheng squeezed into the crowd.
Mu Chunsheng hadn't seen Chen Guihong back for a long time, and he was worried that something might happen to her, so he came to find her along the way.
Limping to Chen Guihong's side, Mu Chunsheng saw the tear stains on her face and red eyes from crying, and hurriedly asked, "Who made you wronged?"
Chen Guihong didn't speak for a long time, but kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes.
Mu Chunsheng was so distressed that he looked fiercely at the villagers present, "Is it because of you!"
"It's not them." Chen Guihong grabbed Mu Chunsheng's hand, "I'm not wronged, really, don't be angry." Although she was coaxing Mu Chunsheng, but when she was talking, her eyes deliberately turned to Mu Chen's direction frequently I took a few glances.
Mu Chunsheng naturally saw it, and immediately trembled with anger. He remembered what happened before the New Year, and suddenly turned around and walked in front of Mu Chen, raised his hand and hit him hard.
Mu Chen grabbed his hand.
He is much taller than Mu Chunsheng.
After Cen Le got up, he finished eating the morning food that Mu Chen had warmed in the pot for him, and then went out with the bamboo basket on his back.
The best flowers to make rouge are fresh petals that have just been picked, so he would go to Merlin every morning.
After walking a lot on the mountain road, Cen Le can walk steadily now, but in the morning in the mountains, the temperature is extremely low, even if he wears thick clothes, Cen Le still feels that the cold air will creep in through the cracks, making his hands and feet cold. Can't stop shaking.
Before reaching Merlin, Cen Le had already sneezed several times in a row, and felt his throat was very uncomfortable, dry and itchy.
Shouldn't it be a cold?
Slightly frowning, Cen Le stretched out his hand to gather up his skirt, quickened his pace, and walked faster.
The reaction to the illness came very quickly, and when he walked to Merlin, Cen Le felt his head hurt and his hands and feet were still a little weak.
The cold wind howled, the sky was gloomy, and the sun never came out. Cen Le knew that he could not stay any longer, so he speeded up, picked a bag of dewy plum blossoms, and hurried back to the village.
Coincidentally, at the entrance of the village, he met Yunniang again.
Yunniang held a six or seven-year-old boy in her arms, and although she was struggling, she walked very anxiously.
Cen Le took a closer look, and found that the child's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were closed tightly, and there were many herpes and blisters on his cheeks. It must be chickenpox. Those who have chickenpox cannot see the wind, which will aggravate the condition, and with Yunniang's footsteps , I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go to the medical center.
Thinking of this, Cen Le endured the discomfort, stepped forward and reached out to pick up the boy.
Seeing that it was Cen Le who wanted to help, Yunniang reminded: "I'm afraid Xiaobao has smallpox, and you will be infected."
Cen Le was afraid of wasting time by writing, so he just shook his head, and then looked at her while maintaining his posture.
Yunniang looked down at the child in her arms, gritted her teeth, and let Cen Le take it, thanked her, and followed behind.
The two hurried to the medical hall, Qingzhu saw it, and quickly invited the two in, and asked Cen Le to put the child on the reclining chair in the inner room.
Yunniang couldn't find Gu Fangyou, took a breath, and asked Qingzhu, "Where's Dr. Gu?"
"Someone came to ask Master to see a doctor yesterday. Master has been away all night and hasn't come back yet." Qingzhu squatted down and began to examine the child.
When Yunniang heard this, despair filled her eyes.
While checking, Qingzhu asked Yun Niang: "Sister Yun, when did Xiao Bao appear?"
"After dinner last night, Little Treasure said he was feeling unwell. I didn't take it to heart, so I just let him go to bed first, but when he woke up in the morning, he had a high fever and a rash... It was all me, last night You should take him to see a doctor." Yun Niang's eyes were red, and she blamed herself very much.
Randomly wiping away the tears that were about to fall, Yunniang bit her lip and summoned up her courage to ask, "Xiaobao, did he have... smallpox?"
She used all her strength to say the last two words.
Cen Le was not feeling well before, and he ran all the way with the child in his arms. At this time, he felt a splitting headache. He was going to go back to rest, but after hearing Yunniang's words and seeing her desperate eyes, he took He took out a charcoal pencil and a notebook, and wrote down: "You don't have to worry too much, Xiaobao probably didn't have smallpox, but just got chickenpox, take some medicine, pay attention to rest, and he will be fine."
He had had chickenpox as a child, and later, having seen other children in the orphanage get chickenpox, he could tell it wasn't smallpox.
"Really?" Yun Niang looked at Cen Le suddenly, as if grasping at straws.
Cen Le nodded.
At this time, Qingzhu had finished examining the child, and he told Yunniang, "Brother Cen is right, Xiaobao didn't have smallpox, but chickenpox. If it was smallpox, the rash should be more distributed on the forehead and cheeks." , wrist, arm, torso and lower limbs, I checked just now, Xiaobao mostly concentrated on the chest and back, and the symptoms are also quite different, sister Yun, don't worry."
Hearing this, Yunniang finally settled down.
Qingzhu washed his hands clean, and said again: "I will prescribe some medicine for Xiaobao. Sister Yun, after you take it back, give him torment three times a day. The room should be ventilated more, but be careful not to let Xiaobao suffer any more. It's cold, chickenpox is not a serious illness, take care of it for six or seven days, and you'll be fine."
Yun Niang nodded, "I made a note of it."
After finishing speaking, she walked to the edge of the reclining chair, squatted down and looked at Xiaobao, her eyes were full of pity, and she was also a little grateful.
Cen Le's condition worsened badly, he had no strength in his hands and feet, and he managed to stand upright by holding on to the threshold.
Now that he had nothing to do, he wanted to ask Qingzhu to leave, but before he finished writing, there was a sudden noise outside, and then several men and aunts came in.
Without saying a word or explaining anything, they came in and grabbed Cen Le and Yun Niang respectively, and then took out ropes to tie their hands.
Cen Le struggled hard, trying to push away the person who wanted to grab him, but his whole body was limp, and he didn't need any strength at all to push.
Yun Niang was also surprised, she frowned and said, "No reason, what are you going to do?"
"You'll know soon." The aunts who caught her laughed mockingly, looking at her with contempt.
Outside the medical hall, there are already three circles full of people. Most of the people heard the news and came to join in or watch the fun. Now they saw Cen Le and Yun Niang being arrested and thrown on the ground , They looked at the two of them and pointed.
"When Zhou Mo's child was going to marry Yunniang, I said that Yunniang's appearance is too outstanding, and her character is disobedient, so she will definitely be restless in the future. Later, I saw that the husband and wife are doing well. I still feel that I am wrong, and feel embarrassed every time I meet them, but I never thought that it would still come true today... Sigh, poor Zhou Mo is so infatuated."
"Bah, she was originally a lewd-slut. If you want me to tell you, she should have been buried long ago. Since Zhou Mo's death, she has flirted with so many men in the village, causing them to lose their souls and be fascinated one by one." I'm obsessed with ghosts, thinking about her every day."
"By the way, I also heard something, that Yunniang and this foreigner have been hooking up for a long time, and that Mu Chen will rescue this foreigner in the mountains that day, it seems that it is because he was originally in the mountains. A tryst with Yunniang."
"Speaking of which, I also saw them meeting at the entrance of the village a few days ago, what a shame!"
……
The villagers talked to each other without hesitation, and spoke loudly without any hesitation. Their words were full of contempt for Cen Le and Yun Niang, and they looked at them with disdain, as if they were all witnessed by themselves. The rhetoric is conclusive, certainly endless.
Yun Niang frowned, she glanced at the crowd, and then looked at an old man and two middle-aged men standing in the front.
These three people are members of the Zhou clan, the old man is the uncle of the Zhou family, and the other two are the sons of the old man, the uncle and the second uncle of the Zhou family.
Zhou Mo's grandfather, parents passed away early, so after Zhou Mo's death, Zhou's uncle and second uncle drove Yunniang out and left her alone.
"Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, what do you mean?" Yun Niang questioned, "For no reason, why did you tie me and Cen Le up and cause such a big fight."
"Shameless whore, do you still have the face to ask why we tied you?" Uncle Zhou pointed at her and said angrily, "If no one comes to tell us, we don't know yet. , is simply shameless!"
Yunniang froze for a moment.
Only then did she finally understand that she and Cen Le were framed by someone for no reason, but she had never done it before, so she was not afraid.
"Uncle, do you think so too?" She looked straight at the old man with no expression on her face.
The old man kept a straight face and said nothing, but he looked at Yunniang with disappointment.
Uncle Zhou said again: "Have you done it? Don't you know? Everyone has sued us. You are not ashamed, we are ashamed."
Cen Le listened to the discussions around him, and also to the quarrel between Yunniang and Zhou's second uncle, and felt his head hurting more and more.
He didn't know when he had an affair with Yun Niang. He wanted to defend himself, but because he couldn't speak, his hands were tied behind his back, and he couldn't write, so he couldn't refute.
For the first time, Cen Le hated himself so much for not being able to speak.
The cold wind was still blowing, making Cen Le shiver from the cold, his cheeks and lips were already pale to the point of being bloodless.
All kinds of voices were still going on, but Cen Le suddenly couldn't hear anything, he only felt that the world was spinning before his eyes, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.
Cen Le's sudden coma stopped the villagers who were still chattering, but after a while, they started talking even more vigorously.
It was as if Cen Le's coma was acquiescing to their words.
"Cen Le!"
Yunniang called Cen Le a few times in a row, and found that his cheeks were flushed, his mind was blurred, and he was unconscious. Knowing that he was sick, she hurriedly said to everyone: "He is sick, please help him in and lie down quickly." , see the doctor again!"
"You care so much about him, and you still say there is no adultery?" Some villagers laughed, "I think you should care more about yourself."
"Yeah, who knows if it's real or fake." Another person sarcastically.
Qingzhu endured this, and couldn't bear it anymore, he pushed hard to push away the crowd and walked in, squatting down to give Cen Le his pulse, but just as he stretched out his hand, before his fingertips touched Cen Le, someone pulled him away opened.
"What are you doing!"
The two men did not speak, one on the left and the other on the back restrained Qingzhu, dragged him away, and prevented him from approaching Cen Le.
Qingzhu flushed with anger, "Brother Cen is really sick, if you don't help him in, he will freeze to death."
"It's best to die, so as not to harm others." This sentence was said by Zhu Dazhuang standing at the end of the crowd, and no one paid attention to him.
Someone persuaded Qingzhu earnestly: "You are still young and don't understand anything. He is a foreigner. No one knows his origin. Maybe he is some kind of murderer, arsonist, treacherous person. Isn't it necessary to save him?" Dirty your hands."
"Are you guys sick?" Qing Zhu trembled with anger, and scolded angrily, "Brother Cen and Sister Yun committed adultery, did any of you see it with your own eyes?"
"We have eyes, don't we know how to see?" At this time, a mean-looking lady in the crowd sneered, "The two of them were standing so close to each other at the head of the village that day, and they held hands together. You can see it all."
After saying this, many people agreed.
However, those who agreed did not actually see Cen Le and Yun Niang holding hands, but saw both of them stretching out their hands from a distance. The theory of holding hands was purely a rumor deliberately spread by Chen Guihong.
Yun Niang laughed out loud: "Oh, have eyes? I'm afraid they are all blind."
She defended herself: "That day, there was at least three steps between Cen Le and I. How can we be considered as sticking together? And the so-called holding hands, you just saw me take a cloth bag from Cen Le, but We haven't even touched our fingertips, the talk of holding hands is simply nonsense!"
"You open your mouth to say that, who can prove it to you?" The mean-looking aunt held her breath and said again.
Yun Niang was frank and frank, without any flinching: "Although no one can prove it, the relationship between Cen Le and I is pure and clear, and there is absolutely no such messy relationship as you said."
"That means no one can prove it?" It was the second uncle of the Zhou family who spoke.
Yunniang asked him back: "Then you say that Cen Le and I committed adultery, do you have any solid evidence? As soon as they say it, I really did it?"
The second uncle of the Zhou family blushed, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the uncle of the Zhou family. He glanced at Yunniang, and said sharply: "I think you will not die until the Yellow River, since you want evidence , then I will give you evidence."
He stretched out his hand to shake out a bag, and threw it in front of Yunniang, "Take a good look for yourself, isn't this your token of love!"
There was only a small bag of jade given by Cen Le, a few boxes of rouge, and jewelry made by her.
Yun Niang looked at him as if she was watching a joke, "Is this the evidence you said, Uncle?"
The uncle of the Zhou family said angrily: "Do you still want me to read those two extremely obscene letters to you? Yuniang, do you want to lose face?"
"Letter? What letter?" Yun Niang frowned.
Lowering her head again, Yunniang looked carefully at the contents of the bag, and she saw two letters.
She shook her head and said, "I have never written or received such a letter."
"Death is imminent, and I still want to argue." The second uncle of the Zhou family stared at her, "It's not yours, it can still run to your house on its own."
"And these rouge, didn't he give it to you? I've already taken it to the city to ask. In the entire Suzhou city, there is no shop that sells this kind of rouge, but I found it at Cen Le's residence, and the letter said Written clearly, it is his gift to you as a token."
"The rouge was not given to me by Cen Le." Yun Niang denied.
She didn't know about Cen Le making rouge.
The second uncle of the Zhou family sneered: "It wasn't him, did you buy it yourself? Tell me, where did you find the rouge that is not sold in the city?"
"I--"
"Okay, stop arguing."
Knocking on the crutches, Uncle Zhou said openly, "Yunniang, don't argue, before we came, we had already searched Cen Le's room accompanied by Uncle Muchen and Auntie, and found the same rouge. As for the letters, I have also found someone to check the handwriting, and there is indeed one letter that was written by you, now, you only need to see if the other letter is written by this foreigner, and the truth will be revealed."
After finishing speaking, he gestured to the two people standing beside Cen Le, they nodded, bent down and took out the notebook from Cen Le's arms.
Passing the notebook to a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, the Zhou family uncle said fairly: "Master Li, please identify it again."
Mrs. Li nodded. He opened the letter, opened the notebook again, and looked down to read it.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "The handwriting of these two is from the same person."
Uncle Zhou asked: "The evidence is solid, Yunniang, what else do you have to say?"
Yun Niang had a bad premonition when the letter appeared, but now that the premonition came true, she didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Father, what do you think we should do?" Zhou's second uncle asked.
Uncle Zhou sighed, "I don't want to worry about it anymore, you can figure it out."
"Brother, what do you think?" He looked at Uncle Zhou again.
Uncle Zhou looked at Yunniang, then at Cen Le, and pondered: "According to the rules, widows who commit adultery are supposed to be immersed in pig cages, but Yunniang gave birth to a child for our Zhou family anyway. Zhou Mo loves her deeply again... Anyway, let's tie the two of them up and send them up the mountain, if they can survive, it's luck, and our Zhou family will not pursue this matter."
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Li Zheng, "Please be a witness. After this incident, no matter whether Yunniang is dead or alive, she will have nothing to do with our Zhou family. Our Zhou family will no longer have any This daughter-in-law."
Li Zheng nodded and agreed.
Qingzhu was anxious beside him, he stomped his feet, his whole body was extremely angry, but there were people clamping him on the left and right, with great strength, he couldn't break free at all, he could only watch Cen Le and Yun Niang being tied together , and shut his mouth.
Standing in the crowd, Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong couldn't help looking at each other and laughing when they saw this scene.
Although the matter of Rouge was somewhat unexpected, the effect was better than what they had originally imagined. They were very satisfied with the result.
As for whether Yunniang was implicated, they didn't care at all.
—
Seeing that Yunniang and Cen Le were about to be sent up the mountain, suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and it was Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen who rushed back together.
The two horses stopped outside the crowd. Gu Fangyou and Mu Chen dismounted one after another, and then hugged Chen Sheng and Chen Jun, who were pale-faced.
As soon as Chen Sheng heard about this, he hurried to the city, went to Song's house and told Gu Fangyou, and Gu Fangyou found Mu Chen again.
Seeing them, Qingzhu's eyes lit up instantly, "Brother Mu, Master!"
Gu Fangyou glanced at the two people holding the green bamboo, they froze in fright, and quickly let go of their hands.
After being free, Qingzhu immediately ran to Gu Fangyou's side, and quickly told him and Mu Chen about the matter from the beginning to the end.
After finishing speaking, he told Mu Chen again: "Brother Cen is sick, he has a high fever and has fallen into a coma..."
Before Qing Zhu finished speaking, Mu Chen had already pushed away the villagers who were blocking the way. His eyes were cold and his face was fierce, which frightened the villagers so that they did not dare to resist. No one stopped him, so Mu Chen came straight to Cen Le and stretched out his hand to untie the After pulling the rope, he bent down and hugged Cen Le.
Yun Niang finally recovered from the nonexistent letter, she stood up, and walked out of the encirclement with Mu Chen.
"Stop." The uncle of the Zhou family was the first to react. He looked at Mu Chen, and said with anger: "This is a family matter of our Zhou family. The person in your arms has committed adultery with my Zhou family's wife. According to the rules, they will be punished." , you cannot interfere."
Hugging Cen Le into him, Mu Chen endured the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "What's the matter, I'll come back and talk about it after I send him into the house."
"you……"
The second uncle of the Zhou family was about to get angry, but was interrupted by Gu Fangyou, his eyes were a little cold, and he said with a half-smile: "When Mu Chen comes out, I will explain it to you, and now Cen Le is my patient, you guys Nobody can take him away."
He ordered Qing Zhu: "Go in and give Cen Le a diagnosis and treatment."
"Understood, Master." Without stopping, Qing Zhu turned around and walked back to the medical hall quickly.
Turning his head to look at Yunniang, Gu Fangyou's eyes flashed with pity, and he asked softly, "What's the matter with you?"
Yun Niang rubbed her wrists, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just hurt Cen Le."
The second uncle of the Zhou family was even more angry when he saw Yunniang and Gu Fangyou talking in a low voice. He said angrily, "Yunniang, do you still have any shame?"
Gu Fangyou frowned.
"I didn't do anything wrong." Yun Niang looked directly at the three of Zhou's family with a frank expression.
"Do you think we won't be able to do anything to you when Doctor Gu and Mu Chen are back?" Zhou's second uncle was furious.
Yunniang ignored him, but lowered her head, thinking to herself where the two letters came from, and why they had something to do with Rouge.
The rouge was given to him by Gu Fangyou, and has nothing to do with Cen Le, and the letter was not written by her and Cen Le, but the letter was written by both of them. where are they.
To kill her, or to kill Cen Le?She doesn't quite understand.
Looking at the three members of the Zhou family, Gu Fangyou suddenly asked, "Can you show me the letter you have been talking about?"
Uncle Zhou waved his hand, "As long as Dr. Gu doesn't think it will stain his eyes, let's take a look."
The second uncle of the Zhou family felt ashamed and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly handing the letter to Gu Fangyou.
Gu Fangyou was not polite, he opened it directly and looked at it. With just one glance, he recognized that the handwriting on it was not from Yunniang's hand.
He didn't read the rest of it again, and picked up another letter. Similarly, he also recognized the handwriting on the letter, which wasn't Cen Le's.
He had seen the handwriting written by Cen Le with a brush before, and it was completely different from the handwriting on the letter.
As for the content of the letter, it was even more absurd. He gave Yunniang the rouge in his hand, and he knew this better than anyone else.
Gu Fangyou said directly to Uncle Zhou's family: "Uncle Zhou, with all due respect, what is said in this letter is completely nonsense."
On the side, the second uncle of the Zhou family asked, "What do you mean?"
Gu Fangyou didn't answer him first, but pointed to the rouge on the ground and asked, "Is this rouge the evidence you said?"
"good."
Gu Fangyou laughed, "But these rouges were not given to Yunniang by Cen Le, but by me." He told the truth.
"What?" The three members of the Zhou family were all surprised, and the uncle of the Gu family said, "Doctor Gu, you can't say that nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense. When I gave it to Yunniang, someone saw it." Gu Fangyou said, "Ms. Tu in the west of the village saw it with her own eyes. I also gave her a box. If you don't believe me, you can Ask her to come and ask."
I signaled to the second uncle of the Zhou family, and asked him to ask Aunt Tu to come over, and the uncle of the Zhou family asked again: "But Doctor Gu, where did your rouge come from? Why did we also find the rouge in the residence of the stranger?" ?”
Gu Fangyou said: "My rouge was given to me by Cen Le. He is learning how to make rouge. Part of the finished product was given to me, and part to the young master of the Qin family. If you don't believe me, you can let someone go." Please come and confront Young Master Qin."
Hearing this, the uncle of the Zhou family and the uncle of the Zhou family looked at each other, and they were silent. They were waiting for the second uncle of the Zhou family to invite Mrs. Tu.
Seeing that there is a follow-up to this big drama, and the situation has been completely reversed, the villagers watched it with great interest, and at the same time they were still discussing in a low voice.
Gu Fangyou has always lived freely and recklessly, never caring about other people's eyes, as long as it does not touch his bottom line, he will not care, so even if he heard the villagers talking about him at this time, he pretended not to hear it.
At this time, Mu Chen finally came out, he walked out again with Cen Le, who was awake, with half support and half hug.
Cen Le was still very weak, almost put all his strength on Mu Chen's body, and his posture was nestled in Mu Chen's arms.
Maintaining their posture, the two walked to Gu Fangyou's side together.
Gu Fangyou handed the letter to Mu Chen, and told him and Cen Le concisely what he had discovered in a low voice.
Cen Le shook his head lightly at Mu Chen.
—He didn't do any of these things.
Holding Cen Le's shoulders tightly, Mu Chen lowered his eyes, his attitude was very gentle, "I know, I believe you."
Looking across all the villagers again, and finally falling on Zhou's uncle and uncle, Mu Chen said firmly, "The letter was not written by Cen Le."
The villager who had a good thing asked: "I have just experienced that the handwriting on the letter is the same as that written by Cen Le. How do you explain this?"
Mu Chen said: "It is because of the same reason that we can be sure that this letter is not from Cen Le, but someone deliberately forged it."
He turned his head and told Chen Sheng: "You go to the medical center and bring out a chair, and then get the paper and pen together."
"I'll go right away." Chen Sheng responded, and then followed Mu Chen's instructions to bring a chair, paper and pen.
Lowering his head, Mu Chen asked Cen Le: "Can you write?"
Cen Le nodded slightly and smiled weakly.
Taking the letter from Mu Chen, Cen Le picked up the pen, and re-wrote it on the white paper according to the contents of the letter.
Seeing this scene, Zhou's uncle and uncle looked at each other, not understanding what Mu Chen and Cen Le meant.
Uncle Zhou asked, "What are you doing?"
"Don't worry, you will understand later." Gu Fangyou understood what Mu Chen was thinking, and said something for Mu Chen.
Cen Le wrote very quickly, and he copied it in a short time. He put down the pen, dried the ink on the paper, and handed it to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen took it and passed it to Uncle Zhou, "Please see."
Puzzled, the uncle of the Zhou family lowered his head to take a look. After reading it, his expression became serious, and he gave it to the uncle of the Zhou family.
Uncle Zhou's face was very gloomy after watching it.
Cen Le's handwriting was not at all similar to the handwriting on the letter. They wrote it while looking at Cen Le, and Cen Le couldn't fake it at all.
At the same time, the second uncle of the Zhou family also brought Aunt Tu back.
Aunt Tu confirmed that what Gu Fangyou said was not a lie.
"I remember it clearly. On that day, Dr. Gu suddenly took out several boxes of rouge and said that he would give it to Yun Niang and me. I am already in my fifties. It is useless to take too many. I only need one box. I asked Yunniang to accept the others. I still remember very clearly that Dr. Gu took out five boxes of rouge, I took one box, and Yunniang had four boxes."
After hearing the words, the second uncle of the Zhou family went to count, shook his head and said, "That's not right, there are six boxes in total here."
Aunt Tu hated people questioning him the most, so she said with a straight face, "I won't remember wrongly."
Cen Le asked Mu Chen to help him there, he knelt down and opened every box of rouge, and finally picked out two boxes, "I didn't make these."
After thinking about it, he wrote another sentence: "This is red and blue flower rouge. All I make are dew rouge, and they are made of plum blossoms."
The types of rouge can be recognized by any woman.
Gu Fangyou invited a few young women from the crowd and asked them to take a closer look. After reading it, they all agreed with Cen Le's words.
This matter has developed to this point, even if he is as reckless as the second uncle of the Zhou family, he has also discovered many doubts and noticed that something is wrong.
Uncle Zhou and uncle's expressions were ugly, "What's going on!"
"This question, I'm afraid I have to ask the mastermind of this matter." Gu Fangyou's tone turned cold in vain, "Zhu Dazhuang, you are running in such a hurry, where do you want to go?"
Seeing this, Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong knew that the situation was not good, and they both wanted to leave. They had been standing at the back of the crowd, not attracting much attention, but Gu Fangyou's voice directly turned everyone's attention to them body.
Chen Guihong was startled, and quickly retreated into the crowd, acting as a bystander, ready to blame Zhu Dazhuang for everything.
Being watched by everyone, Zhu Dazhuang couldn't run anymore. He pursed his lips to hide his fear and nervousness, then turned around and smiled at Gu Fangyou, saying, "Doctor Gu, what did you ask me to do? You’re just a theatergoer, you haven’t done anything bad.”
"Oh, you dare to say it." Gu Fangyou looked at him coldly.
After realizing it, Uncle Zhou asked: "Doctor Gu, what do you mean, he forged letters to frame Yunniang and Cen Le for having an affair?"
"It's not just him." Gu Fangyou glanced at Chen Guihong who was hiding in the crowd, "There is another person."
Chen Guihong held hands and bit her lips tightly, feeling more and more uneasy in her heart.
Looking away, Gu Fangyou waved to Chen Jun and asked him to come to his side: "Tell everyone what you saw before."
Chen Jun grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, and walked timidly beside Gu Fangyou. After realizing that everyone was staring at him, he immediately hid his whole body behind Gu Fangyou, only daring to show his face.
Pulling Chen Jun out again, Gu Fangyou squatted down, his gaze leveled with him, "Don't be afraid, I, Mu Chen, and your brother are all here, no one dares to do anything to you, you just need to tell me what you know, Just tell everyone."
Chen Jun raised his eyes, looked at Gu Fangyou, responded softly, and then stuttered.
"Yesterday, I saw Zhu, Zhu Dazhuang." He took a peek at Zhu Dazhuang, "He took a cloth bag from his aunt, who is a shepherd, and then sneaked into Aunt Yun's house."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers immediately went into an uproar.
The villages around Chen Guihong immediately backed away from her, looking at her in the same way as Zhu Dazhuang.
Unexpectedly being seen by others, Chen Guihong's palms were sweating, she tried her best to restrain her uneasiness, pretended to be calm and said, "Doctor Gu, you made this child say these words because you intend to say that Zhu Dazhuang and I teamed up to frame him. Yunniang and Cen Le?"
She was a formidable person, she pretended to be innocent, and took the opportunity to tell everyone that Chen Jun would say that, it was probably taught by Gu Fangyou.
Gu Fangyou narrowed his eyes and smiled. He didn't defend himself, but just patted Chen Jun on the shoulder, signaling him not to be afraid.
Chen Jun gradually plucked up his courage, "Not only I saw it, but also Sister Yan'er and Brother Xin also saw it."
These two people are Lizheng's grandson and granddaughter, Lin Yan and Lin Xin.
Li Zheng was surprised, "You mean, my Yan'er and Ashin?"
Chen Jun nodded slightly.
Li Zheng said: "I'll go back and bring them two."
His home was not far away, and after a while, he came over with two children in his arms.
Lin Yan and Lin Xin were very happy to see Chen Jun. They trotted over and pinched him, which made Chen Jun's cheeks bulge.
Pulling the two back to his side, Li Zheng asked, "Yesterday, were you with Chen Jun?"
Lin Yan said honestly: "Yes, we are playing hide and seek with Chen Jun."
"Then what did you see? Did you see Zhu Dazhuang and Mrs. Mu's family?" Li Zheng asked again.
"I see." Lin Xin said, "Aunt Mu also gave Zhu Dazhuang a cloth bag, and said something about rouge and letters."
The second uncle of the Zhou family was impatient, he interrupted and asked, "Did you see Zhu Dazhuang sneaking into Yuniang's house?"
Lin Yan nodded: "Yes, Aunt Yun's house is not far from where we play, we saw him climb over the wall and run in."
Li Zheng patted the heads of the two children, "Okay, you guys go play."
Looking at Chen Guihong again, Gu Fangyou asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Chen Guihong tried to remain calm, "I did give Zhu Dazhuang a cloth bag that day, but I saw him drop it and picked it up and returned it to him. What does this prove?"
The smile on her face couldn't hold on any longer, but she knew she couldn't show timidity, or it would be over.
Her eyes fell on Mu Chen, her expression was very innocent, and she tried to ask Mu Chen to help her, "Chen'er, you know how auntie is, you said that I have no grievances or enmity with Yunniang and Cen Le, how can this be so?" Vicious, want to frame them like this?"
Mu Chen pursed his lips and did not answer.
He has always known that Chen Guihong must report his flaws, and the only people in the village who have had an indirect grudge against Cen Le are Zhu Dazhuang and Chen Guihong.
Seeing that Mu Chen was silent, Chen Guihong looked at him blankly, with a hint of murder in her eyes, and she couldn't hide the anger in her heart at once, but she didn't get angry directly, but shed tears, crying Said: "My God, what the hell have I done!"
She cried out Mu Jiang Yuan's name, and said wronged for him and herself, "Yuan'er, you are really kind, why did you sacrifice yourself to save Mu Chen, a white-eyed wolf, and make yourself crippled, do you know that? When he saw your mother being wronged, he didn't come forward to refute..."
Cen Le looked up at Mu Chen, and gestured slowly: "Are you okay?"
Mu Chen shook his head, and put more force on his waist, "It's nothing."
Mu Jiangyuan saved him back then, and he has always kept this kindness in his heart, and he has never forgotten it. In the past ten years, he has been repaying his kindness, even if it caused trouble in the yamen, his deeds have been worthy of the world. People can talk about him.
Sure enough, it was good that Chen Guihong didn't mention Mu Jiangyuan. As soon as he mentioned it, some villagers immediately spoke up for Mu Chen.
"You can't say that. Over the years, Mu Chen has given your family a lot of money. Your house, the golden hairpin on your head, and the money for Mu Lei's study, which one is not from Mu Chen?"
"Yes, yes, let me tell you, even if your family Mu Jiangyuan is doing well, your family may not be able to live a good life now."
"No, Mu Chen has done a good enough job, you can't speak against your conscience."
Chen Guihong was enraged by what the villagers said, and her rational strings were broken. She couldn't help it anymore, and showed her true colors.
"This is my family business. It has nothing to do with you. Even if I took Muchen's money, I deserved it. My family's Yuaner became disabled because of him. He should support us and provide for us. For the rest of his life, he will not be wronged!"
When the surrounding villagers heard this, their eyes widened and they felt embarrassed.
Chen Guihong still wanted to talk, but she suddenly saw Mu Chunsheng who was rushing over, so her expression changed, and she became aggrieved and innocent again.
At the same time, Mu Chunsheng squeezed into the crowd.
Mu Chunsheng hadn't seen Chen Guihong back for a long time, and he was worried that something might happen to her, so he came to find her along the way.
Limping to Chen Guihong's side, Mu Chunsheng saw the tear stains on her face and red eyes from crying, and hurriedly asked, "Who made you wronged?"
Chen Guihong didn't speak for a long time, but kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes.
Mu Chunsheng was so distressed that he looked fiercely at the villagers present, "Is it because of you!"
"It's not them." Chen Guihong grabbed Mu Chunsheng's hand, "I'm not wronged, really, don't be angry." Although she was coaxing Mu Chunsheng, but when she was talking, her eyes deliberately turned to Mu Chen's direction frequently I took a few glances.
Mu Chunsheng naturally saw it, and immediately trembled with anger. He remembered what happened before the New Year, and suddenly turned around and walked in front of Mu Chen, raised his hand and hit him hard.
Mu Chen grabbed his hand.
He is much taller than Mu Chunsheng.
