The whole city knows we are locked

Because of Shen Yu's reliable image, Tang Zining and Wu Ming did not doubt Yan Chuyin's words.

Tang Zining even felt suddenly enlightened for a moment.No wonder!No wonder the Xu family, as the natal family of the aunt, always looked down on their concubines and concubines on weekdays, but this time they were willing to marry Xu Er's younger sister.You must know that in his eyes, his younger sister is just a "concubine" in the eyes of the Xu family!

He said with grief and despair: "I thought... I thought... I took the time to check, and they all said that it was because a Tong Fang in Xu Er's yard was pregnant, and they planned to give birth to this child. I just hired my sister. Because the child's birth month is to be concealed, my sister needs to go through the door early..."

It's not that Tang Zining didn't doubt it, but according to his investigation results, everything seems to be "reasonable".Xu Er made Tong Fang pregnant before marriage. Either a bowl of medicine will kill the child, or marry a good wife to enter the house. Otherwise, after the wife passes through the house, they will become violent. Not only will the friendship between the two families be ruined, but also the Xu family’s reputation will be damaged. .The aunt of the Tang family is the married aunt of the Xu family, and Tang Xiaomei is the concubine under the aunt's hands. Both her brother and aunt are in her hands. Tang Xiaomei will not dare to make trouble. She can only bear with such a pre-marital concubine.

And when someone asked why the second youngest of the Xu family married a concubine daughter, the Xu family also had something to say, only that their cousins ​​had friendship with each other, and the elders couldn't bear to beat each other, so they could only make a loving couple. people.

In this way, everything will be saved.

Tang Zining must be dissatisfied with this.But the marriage has already been overrated by his aunt and biological father. Even if he makes a fuss, not only will he not be able to change the established ending, but it will also make his sister's situation even more difficult.He could only comfort himself by saying that at least he has the status of his first wife, so don't be too concerned about Xu Er, and life will always go on.

But they didn't expect that the truth was worse than Tang Zining's investigation results!

Yan Chuyin heard something wrong, pinched her fingers and asked, "How many months is Xu Er's Tongfang pregnant?"

"It's been less than a month, but I just got my pulse," Tang Zining said.It takes six rites to get married, and no matter how fast the six ceremonies go, it still takes two months.When his sister came in, Tong Fang looked like she was three or four months pregnant, and when it came to fruition, she only reported that the child was born prematurely at seven months, so it could be covered up in terms of time.

Yan Chuyin shook her head: "Xu Erna's flower/willow/sick... At least he's been sick for three months!"

What Tongfang is pregnant for one month?Obviously a lie!

Tang Zining stood there in a daze.

Yan Chuyin shook her head.You students, you may have done well in your studies, but you still need my advice in other aspects!He said: "I see, Xu Er must be dying of illness. This pregnant Tong Fang is either Xu Da's Tong Fang or Xu Er's other brother's Tong Fang. It is definitely not Xu Er's own."

If the marriage can really come true, when Tang Xiaomei walks through the door, she will definitely see a husband who is lying on the bed, his whole body is festered and he is so sick that he can't get up.At this time, Xu's elders said that the child born in Tongfang should be recorded in her name and let her pretend to be pregnant. She had no other way out but agreed.

After a few days, Xu Er died, and Tang Xiaomei became "conceived".

Then Tang Xiaomei had to stay as a widow in the deep house compound until her death.Widows are not allowed to go out to socialize, and the Xu family must be afraid that she will go out and talk nonsense, so she must only stay in a small courtyard for the next half of her life.

"Oh, I still have to be a vegetarian, and I have to read the life scriptures to Xu Er in front of the Buddha." Yan Chuyin said.

Tang Zining's eyes cracked when he heard it.Wu Ming was also dumbfounded.

Wu Ming felt that this matter was very difficult to understand: "If you are about to die, why do you want to harm an innocent person?"

"Who knows what they think... don't say that my son is just sick, even if he is dead, buy him a wife to be buried as a funeral. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the county annals of various places." Yan Chuyin had seen similar cases before. Zong, "Besides, Xu Erhua's name is outside, if he dies like this, there may be rumors that he died of an internal disease at some point. But if he marries a wife, and the wife is still pregnant as soon as he passes through the house, then it's him If he is dead, others gossip about him being overwhelmed by his wife, so they will definitely not think that he was infected with a dirty disease."

At that time, Tang Xiaomei will bear the infamy, and the Xu family's reputation will be preserved.

Wu Ming said angrily: "This... this is really insane!"

Tang Zining was shaking with anger, "I'll go home and tell my father..."

"It's useless." Yan Chuyin shook her head, "Maybe Mr. Tang did not know the truth at first, but the marriage between the two families has been agreed, so what if he knows now? Will he stand up for you brothers and sisters? The Tang family and Xu The family always advances and retreats together in the court." Isn't an ally of interests like this more important than a concubine?

After a pause, Yan Chuyin said again: "And the Xu family kept Xu Er's illness a secret. You said he had the flower/willow/illness, where is your source?" Almost forgot that he is now "Shen Yu" Well, if Tang Zining said that he got the news from Shen Yu, wouldn't he be cheating Shen Yu?Those who didn't know thought that Prime Minister Shen had planted spies in the Xu family.

Speaking of which, the reason why Yan Chuyin was able to know that Xu Erbacheng had the flower/willow/illness was all because of Xiaohe.

Xiaohe often hangs around in the market, and is extremely well-informed about all kinds of news.

The Xu family, in fact, the family education is strict, because the old lady of the Xu family is from the Yinjiang Liu family, and this Yinjiang Liu family is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years.Aristocratic families like to talk about "rules", and this Xu Liu family is very strict about rules.Xu Er was often punished for sleeping in flowers and sleeping in willows.But no matter how many fines there are, the dog still can't stop eating shit.After being punished a few times, Xu Er didn't dare to visit flower houses in public, so he secretly searched for those prostitutes who opened their doors ajar.

Xu Shi was sneaky and sneaky, and Xu Er became a frequent visitor to the flower alley with red lanterns in the outer city.He didn't use his identity as Xu's family member, so he insisted that he was a scholar from outside the capital.If it weren't for the fact that Xiao He was too familiar with the outer city, he probably wouldn't have discovered Xu Er's secret.Xiao He took it as a joke at first, and told Yan Chuyin that the Xu family thought that Xu Er had gone to the mountains to cultivate his morals, but who knew that he was all in the dark!

Later, the family Xu Er used to go to closed the door and invited a doctor.Ordinary doctors don't like to see a doctor, but not all doctors will have trouble with money.There is a doctor surnamed Ding who often treats poor people in outer cities. Sometimes the poor can’t afford money, so he often waives their consultation fee. Xiaohe also has a little friendship with this doctor Ding.

Dr. Ding treated the people in the door, and when he looked back and saw Xiaohe, he didn't say that she had got flowers/willows, but couldn't help reminding Xiaohe—who was called Xiaohe, who used to stare at her because of Xu Er's matter? That family—it is better than anything else to run into secret doors when they are young, but to have a serious marriage when they are old.But how smart Xiaohe is!

Afterwards, Xu Er was never seen running outside, and Xiao He knew it in his heart.

Xiaohe shared the news with Yan Chuyin and Cao Lu.Knowing that Xu Er might be ill, the three of them really gloated for a while, just because they were really annoyed by the Xu family who talked about the rules and kept silent about the etiquette of the family.Because Cao Lu's family was sitting and eating, his elder sister and younger sister were ridiculed by the juniors of Xu's family at a certain banquet.

Heh, people like Xu Er still want to get married?

That's all... This matter hit me, ah no, hit Shen Yu, forget it, hit me, since this matter hit my hands, God wants me to take care of it.Yan Chuyin got up and patted Tang Zining's shoulder: "Look at you, you look like you want to kill the fish and break the net... Don't think my words are harsh, even if your fish dies, they can't break the net. How about it, you Just pretend you don't know anything. I'll find a way to help you settle this matter."

That said, he has the demeanor of a "boss".

Very Yan Chuyin.

Not Shen Yu.
