A quarter of an hour later, Yang Ruofang was furious, and the biting wind blew into the courtyard where the concubine Su Yingying lived, only to find that the building was empty!Panting, she leaned on the door frame, puzzled, gritted her teeth and asked, "Where did Su go?"

The old servants in charge of sweeping and cleaning looked at each other, and after a while, they mustered up the courage to answer in a low voice: "Mrs. Su: Aunt Su and the third son were sent away by the adults."

"About two quarters of an hour ago, I left in a carriage through the back door."

"Aunt Su's servants, the third son's nanny, etc., are all gone."

what?

"She was sent away?" Yang Ruofang was stunned, unable to recover for a long time, the anger was extinguished in an instant, and bursts of warmth surged up naturally.Suddenly, a voice came from behind her: "Ma'am, why are you standing here blowing the wind? Be careful and have a headache." Zhou Renlin was gentle and refined. He hurriedly sent away his concubine and second son, and had just returned from the back door.

Yang Ruofang turned around upon hearing the sound, her eyes were red, swollen and teary, and she asked in amazement, "You sent Su Yingying's mother and son away?"

If you don't send it away, it will definitely become your venting bag. My son can't be completely folded in the hands of a stupid woman.

Zhou Renlin thought to himself, without changing his expression, nodded, supported his wife, and sighed heavily: "Oh, something happened to Hong'er, I worked hard for half my life, but I ended up with a white-haired man and a black-haired man. I am so sad that I can't express it! Forget it, let Su's family should take the children away from home for a while, I don't have the time or energy to take care of them now, I just want to be quiet."

In an instant, the considerate Tanhualang who she fell in love with at first sight when she was a girl is back!

"Zhou Lang..."

Yang Ruofang, who had worked so hard for many years, collapsed in an instant. She was greatly moved, she cried and fell into her husband's arms, and sadly told: "Zhou Lang, the verdict is out, don't get angry: the Rong family has also found a helper, and with my father Wu Benchao confronted him, Hong'er's cause of death could not be changed to serious injury, so the original conclusion was maintained, and the defendant was only sentenced to [-] sticks! Oh my God, our Hong'er died in vain!" Yang Ruofang burst into tears. , beat his chest and stomped his feet, hoarse.

"what?"

Zhou Renlin actually knew about it first, but in order to keep his wife safe, he asked knowingly: "How could that happen? My father-in-law asked him to do it himself, and Wu Benchao took advantage of us, so he dared not do his best? It's unreasonable! Hmph, greedy and incompetent, I I'm going to question him face to face—" As he spoke, he made a gesture to seek justice for his second son.

"Zhou Lang! Calm down, don't be impulsive, and be careful not to be caught by outsiders for bribery. Let's go back to the house and discuss it slowly." Yang Ruofang tried her best to stop her husband, lowered her voice to comfort her, and her heart was split in two: one half mourned the second son, The other half worried about her husband, but calmed down.

Zhou Renlin gritted his teeth, cursed, and was pushed back to the bedroom by his wife. The couple hugged each other and cried.

"What should we do now? Listening to my mother and father-in-law, they seem to be unwilling to help. Is Hong'er someone else?" Zhou Renlin's face was dark, extremely dissatisfied.

After weeping, the husband and wife seemed to have let go of their previous suspicions. Yang Ruofang suppressed her grief and persuaded in a trembling voice: "Zhou Lang, don't be angry, father and sister are not favored now, because of the death of the eldest princess, His Highness was grounded, and His Majesty only let go after half a month of imprisonment." , but His Majesty has been in charge of the government for a long time. The empress, mother and child are walking on thin ice, trying hard to win the trust of the saint, and King Qing is watching over him. Think about it, how difficult is it for the empress? You have to know what's good or bad."

"Could it be that Ming Hong died in vain?" Zhou Renlin's eyes widened, his face stretched long.

"What else? What else can we do? If we overturn the case again, there will be uproar, which will affect the future of you and Mingjie." Yang Ruofang reminded with difficulty, heartbroken, holding back tears and said: "I only hope that Lian Chuchu can do it for you." Ming Hong gave birth to a son, and I will definitely take care of my grandson."

Zhou Renlin quickly cast a sidelong glance at his wife, and cursed: "That Rong Yu is really uneducated! But because of the few seats in the noodle restaurant, why not give up? They made a fuss and got into a fight with Honger, it's really hateful!"

"Of course the Rong family deserves to die, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is indeed our people who made the first move, and they can't be turned over even if they want to. Otherwise, how can I spare them lightly?"

Zhou Renlin had already accepted the fact, and only wanted to keep his ears quiet, then suddenly covered his heart, frowned, and lamented with tears twinkling: "I have pity on me who is over half a hundred years old. I should have loved my grandchildren and enjoyed family happiness, but now I have become like this." Call me, how can I accept it?"

"Zhou Lang, what's the matter with you? Are you alright?" Yang Ruofang turned pale with shock, hurriedly helped her up, and shouted: "Come here, come here! My lord is in poor health, hurry up and call for a doctor."

On one side, Zhou Renlin "fell sick with grief and anger", and asked a doctor to make medicine, which made people lose their heads;

"Ouch! Ahh!"

Rong Xing was lying on her stomach, her exposed waist and buttocks were ripped apart, the scars were swollen up to half a finger high, and she was tearing from the pain.

The old doctor cleared the wound and applied the medicine neatly, and said slowly: "Young man, bear with it, after ten and a half months, the pain will probably be gone." As he spoke, he sprinkled a piece of Jinchuang medicine, and the brown powder melted quickly Going into the flesh and blood, it makes people's scalp tingle.

"Ah - ouch -" Rong Yu clenched his fists and beat the bed, trembling violently, sweating all over his head, screaming again and again.

Rong Kaiji comforted by the side: "Fortunately, no bones and muscles were injured, just stay in bed and rest, it will be fine."

"You still have the face to cry? Shut up! You were impulsive and reckless, and you didn't discuss things with your elders in time. You almost lost your life, and Youtang ran to ask for help to save you." Rong Zhengqing's face was livid, and he stood upright in front of the bed, hating iron Unable to steel, he scolded angrily: "Why did Zhou Minghong hide it when he troubled you a few times before? You are a fool, and you dare to act behind your elders' backs before your wings grow hard!"

"Uncle, don't be angry, I am sorry - I know I was wrong!" Rong Xing's face was as white as paper, her waist and buttocks were hot, and the sharp and stinging pain was unbearable.

Rong Youtang stood awkwardly at the door, and beside him was King Qing who had secretly come to Rong's house from Beiying to visit the city.

Zhao Zeyong examined it for a while, then turned his head and said in a low voice, "It turns out that your disobedience was not intentional, but because of family characteristics."

"I—" Rong Youtang was at a loss for words.

Rong Zhengqing turned his head when he heard the news, he was startled, and hurriedly told Rong Kaiji, the two hurriedly greeted King Qing, and were about to salute, but King Qing waved his hands to show that he was excused.

"The smell of medicine is strong here, please take a seat in the hall." Rong Kaiji greeted.Considering his son's future, he was full of worries, tried his best to hide his discomfort, and entertained distinguished guests with courtesy.

It can be said that Rong Zhengqing has no friendship with King Qing, and he was even more uncomfortable, gratefully said: "The nephew of the lower official is reckless, and has caused you trouble. When he recovers from his injury, he will definitely repay you by doing a good job!"

"This king didn't help, so tell him to work for Lord Xiaorong." Zhao Zeyong said solemnly.

How could there be no help?With the relationship between Youtang and you, the case will not be wrongly judged outrageously.

The elders of the Rong family knew it well.

"Youtang ran with all his strength, if Xun'er doesn't respect his elder brother in the future, the subordinate officials will definitely not spare him!" Rong Zhengqing said righteously.

Zhao Zeyong nodded slightly, without saying anything, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, walked to the front of the couch, and looked down at Rong Yu who was howling and screaming in pain.

"Ouch! It hurts me to death." Rong Xing's face was pale, with tears, snot, and sweat, wishing he could pass out. When he raised his eyes, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Ah, Qing——"

"Hush." ​​Rong Youtang stepped forward in time, raised his index finger to his lips, and signaled the other party not to shout.

Rong Yu nodded his head like garlic, he was half naked lying on his stomach, the smell of blood and blood was mixed with gold-chuang medicine, he was dirty and embarrassed, he was ashamed and awed, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth, not daring to look directly at King Qing.

The old doctor and his disciples didn't notice anything, they were so busy that they didn't raise their heads, and mistakenly thought that King Qing was a relative of the injured.The old doctor was a little deaf, and said: "It's already light, the old man didn't use much force at all, when the effect of the medicine kicks in, the pain will be less, young man, bear with it."

Zhao Zeyong frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "A man, it's just a flesh injury, howling like this?"

"I, I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it hurts too much." Rong Yu was in a terribly painful pain, and his mind was a little dazed, but standing in front of him was King Qing, so he gritted his teeth and bowed his head in embarrassment.

"Can't bear it?" Zhao Zeyong raised his eyebrows.

Rong Yu bit the bullet, and answered tremblingly, "I can, I can bear it."

"Hmm." Zhao Zeyong nodded, said nothing more, and greeted Rong Youtang: "Let's go, let me tell you a few words."

"Yes." Rong Youtang nodded, and said softly: "Father, Fourth Uncle, you take care of Brother Yu, I will come whenever I go."

"Go." Rong Zhengqing thought he was not qualified to stop him.

"Ask Lao Li to make some tea and treat him carefully." Rong Kaiji ordered, but there was no reason to stop him.

"understood."

King Qing visited the Rong's house many times, knew the way, and spontaneously walked towards Rong Youtang's bedroom and study.

"Your Highness, please." Rong Youtang opened the door, turned around, took the tea tray from the butler, and brought hot tea.

Zhao Zeyong took his seat, took the tea, and said solemnly: "It should be dealt with impartially. Shi Shuangke and the others have only done their duty. Do they dare to ask you for benefits?"

"No, no!" Rong Youtang shook his head quickly, and explained: "Before the class started, I invited Mr. Shi and two foremen to have a meal. They were very polite and upright, and only talked about the case, without any meaning in that regard."

"If they are greedy, how could this king let you make friends?"

Rong Youtang's eyes were clear, he sat opposite King Qing, and said sincerely: "Fortunately, His Highness helped, otherwise Brother Xing would definitely not just suffer twenty boards."

"This matter is over." Zhao Zeyong took a teacup.

Rong Youtang asked with concern: "Why did Your Highness come to visit suddenly?"

"I want to see you." Zhao Zeyong said frankly, then changed his voice and said:

"This morning, the two elder brothers had a heated dispute over the candidate for the servant of the household department. In the end, they somehow changed their minds and thought that the huge expenses of the Beiying were like running water. From now on, they sent a few people to investigate the money in detail. Come in and out." His tone was calm, his face was expressionless, and his emotions were invisible.

Rong Youtang leaned over in astonishment, and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty agrees?"

"Father is still recuperating." Zhao Zeyong replied calmly.

Rong Youtang felt sorry for King Qing, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty will be recuperating for almost two months, and the affairs of state will be handled jointly by His Royal Highness, His Second Highness and several elders. It is normal to have disputes, but His Majesty advocates opening the camp in the northern suburbs." You worked so hard to build it, what do they want to do!" After a pause, he hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help whispering, "Your Highness, could it be that Your Majesty...?"

"It's pretty healthy. Recently, I personally supervise Xiaojiu to study every day, and I also go to the garden to enjoy flowers, go fishing and draw pictures."

"Ah?" Rong Youtang was stunned, inexplicably wanted to laugh, and said with relief: "That's good! Let's just wait for His Majesty's order, there should be no big storms."

Half a month later, the Wanshou Festival is approaching, the late autumn is bleak, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow.

Wearing a jacket, Rong Youtang stopped by to pick up a birthday present for Hong Lei's mother, and walked out of a time-honored jewelry store. His pace was a little hasty, and when he turned around down the steps, he almost bumped into a young woman!

"Oh!" Su Yingying yelled softly, and quickly fought back to protect the son in the nurse's arms.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry, didn't I get hurt?" Rong Youtang hurriedly apologized.

Su Yingying, who was wearing a veiled hat, remembered Rong Youtang, she smiled and said softly: "It's nothing, it's our fault that we left in a hurry."

"Thank you ma'am for your understanding." Due to etiquette, Rong Youtang did not look directly at the other party, he turned sideways, and happened to raise two white and fat fists at Zhou Zhou's second son, a five-month-old baby, eating his fingers with relish, naive and curious look at brother.

Rong Youtang, who didn't know it yet, smiled at the baby friendly, but the next moment:

"Yingniang, what's the matter? Go in and get Mingyi's safe golden lock." Zhou Renlin came out from the back of the carriage, smiling, but when he looked up, he saw the eldest son!

Rong Youtang's smile froze, and in a blink of an eye, he suddenly realized, and looked at the baby: After all, he should be my brother?

Zhou Renlin was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly approached, pinched the concubine's tender cheek, and introduced with a smile: "Youtang, his name is Mingyi."

"Your Excellency and Young Master know each other? When my concubine paid homage to Elder Sister Rong, it was this Young Master and his father who saved their lives." Su Yingying asked in surprise.

"Really? Hahaha, it turned out that Ming Yi had Youtang's help before he was born? That's great!" Zhou Renlin was extremely pleased, and laughed happily. The laughter made Yang Ruofang, who was quietly following her, blacken before her eyes and gasped for breath.

In the opposite carriage

"Madam, please calm down. Please see, does this old slave slander Your Excellency? He never dislikes ignoring Aunt Su. Whenever he has free time, he goes to meet with her. He spends a lot of money to make her mother and son settle comfortably."

"Blame me, blame me for being blind, not knowing people clearly, and paying for life by mistake."

Yang Ruofang looked haggard, her heart was like ashes, she hid a sharp dagger in her sleeve, clenched it tightly, her knuckles turned white, her eyes were desperate and crazy, and she murmured: "I thought Zhou Lang had changed back, but unexpectedly his nature would not change. , duplicity, tricked me into being virtuous and housekeeping like a fool, but he was fine, abandoned his wife and children, and sneaked out to laugh and have fun with the lowly servants and concubines."

One lowly maidservant and two concubines of lowly birth.

"I've had enough!"

Yang Ruofang was full of anger, grief, anger and hatred, completely out of control, and completely lost her mind. She clenched her dagger tightly, jumped off the carriage, and walked towards her enemies holding her breath.
