This woman is none other than Mrs. Zou's personal maid.
It turned out that Zou Qianhu reached a tacit understanding with Mrs. Zou on the night before departure. He first informed Mrs. Zou of what might happen when he came to the Kong family. Mrs. Zou then arranged manpower around Zou Qianhu based on their predictions to provide assistance to Zou Qianhu when necessary. "Assist".
Zou Qianhu himself didn't know what the "assist" would be, so he could avoid being read by Kong Qingqiu in advance and make preparations.
The maid was shouting, and the young boy of the Zou family took the lead in breaking in. A group of melon-eating people who didn't know the truth followed curiously. Everyone saw the Zou family father and son being pressed to the ground by several seemingly invisible human figures.
Zou Qianhu curled up his lips and shouted: "Young Master Tang, you just stole my daughter-in-law, and you want the lives of my father and son. How can you be so vicious?"
People around him pointed and started to praise Tang Ren.
Passerby A: "I'm a well-matched person with a marriage contract, but you actually interfered. You're a bad person in marriage. You're not worthy of being a Confucian disciple at all!"
Passerby B: "It's really arrogant to kill people and silence them after this thing is exposed! It's morally corrupt!"
…
The hall was filled with excitement, and Kong Qingqiu said anxiously: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Zou family. It was his family that broke the contract with my family first. We have not broken our trust, and I affirm that my brother did not interfere. Don't listen to the slander!" "
But no one listened to her at all. Everyone believed what they saw in front of them and what they wanted to believe.
Someone said to Kong Qingqiu: "Girl, you also need to know some sense of shame. You are engaged to Mr. Zou and you should keep your promise. Why did Hongxing go out and find someone else?"
Then, the muzzle of verbal abuse began to be pointed at Kong Qingqiu.
Crazy and angry public opinion overwhelmed Kong Qingqiu, and her telepathic communication failed at this moment. She could not hear anything, and there was only a deafening buzzing in her ears.
Blood began to flow from her mouth and nose.
When Tang Ren saw her appearance, he immediately panicked. He shouted loudly, and the green energy turned into a long chain, wrapping up all the outsiders who broke into the Kong Mansion, and swung them all out the door with a strong wave.
The servants of Kong's mansion immediately closed the door.
Tang Ren stepped forward to catch Kong Qingqiu, who was slowly lying down, and said anxiously: "Qingqiu! Qingqiu!"
At the last moment when he lost consciousness, Kong Qingqiu held Tang Ren's hand and said to him: "Brother Shen Ming... don't leave me..."
…
When Kong Qingqiu woke up again, it was already five days later.
However, the person guarding him was not Tang Ren.
When Mrs. Kong saw Yaonv waking up, she cried and shouted: "Son! My child, you finally woke up. You are so anxious to be your mother!"
Kong Qingqiu: "Mom, where is brother Shen Ming? Why isn't he next to my bed?"
The expression on Mrs. Kong's face changed several times and she did not answer.
Kong Qingqiu found that she could no longer use her telepathy. She couldn't hear what her mother was thinking, and she became even more anxious: "What's going on, mother? What are you hiding from me? Where is Brother Shenming?"
When Mrs. Kong heard her question, she stared at her and asked, "Son, are your magical powers gone?"
Kong Qingqiu did not answer.
Mrs. Kong: "What's going on?"
Kong Qingqiu said irritably: "It should be because there were too many people in the hall yesterday. I was filled with too many thoughts and was overdrawn. It may be fine after a while, it's nothing serious. Mom, where is brother Shen Ming?" "
Mrs. Kong: "You have been sleeping for five days."
Kong Qingqiu: "It's been five days? Then Brother Shenming hasn't come during these five days? Where has he been?"
Mrs. Kong: "He said that his friend knew a third-grade scholar. He was going to find this third-grade scholar and ask him to use the third-grade magical power of 'Words and Laws' to force the Zou family and his son to tell the truth and restore our Kong family's innocence."
Kong Qingqiu: "Is the third-grade Confucian Association willing to help us? Where is he now?"
Mrs. Kong: “I don’t know.”
Kong Qingqiu: "Didn't he receive a letter in the past five days?"
Mrs. Kong: "No. Probably... maybe there were too many people intercepting him on the road..."
As soon as Tang Ren left the Confucius Mansion, he was chased and beaten by several old men on the roadside with poles. He had no intention of conflicting with the old men and hid and ran away.
Unexpectedly, there were many such people along the way, some of whom had supernatural powers. They upheld the justice in their hearts and shouted to beat and kill Tang Ren.
While Tang Ren was moving forward arduously, the Kong family was also resisted. Everyone blamed the Kong family for their treachery and Kong Qingqiu's licentiousness. For five days in a row, no one visited the Kong's trading house.
No one in the Kong family dared to go out of the house. As soon as they went out, they would be chased, beaten and scolded by the people guarding the door.
Kong's shops were completely shut down, and all the shopkeepers who were outside were hiding at home and did not dare to go out.
When Kong Qingqiu woke up, nearly a hundred members of the Kong family had been locked up in Kong's mansion for five days, and half of the food in the warehouse was seen.
On the fifth day after Kong Qingqiu woke up, the situation still did not improve. Instead, it became more and more intense as public opinion fermented.
For half a month, there were no letters from Tang Ren, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
On the tenth day after Kong Qingqiu woke up, the granary at home was exhausted. Kong Qingqiu took out the food stored in the treasure book world and distributed it to his family.
On the fifteenth day, the servants in the family began to complain. They asked Kong Qingqiu, why he refused to agree to the Zou family and wanted to take the entire Kong family to death?
On the 16th day, Mrs. Kong cried in despair. She felt that Tang Ren was not coming back and that he was running away on an excuse to find the great scholar.
On the seventeenth day, a servant couldn't bear the torture of not knowing when it would end, and committed suicide by throwing himself into a well in the backyard of Kong's house.
On the eighteenth day, Kong Qingqiu's supply was exhausted, and there was no food in the Kong residence.
On the 19th day, Mr. Kong took Mrs. Kong to the Zou family and apologized. He hoped to rebuild the old relationship with the Zou family and agreed to marry his daughter Kong Qingqiu to Zou Chongyu.
On that day, the Zou family sent the Kong couple who came to propose marriage back to the Confucius Mansion with noisy gongs and drums. They not only presented them with fine wine and food, but also announced to the world that Kong's daughter Qingqiu would marry Zou Chongyu that day.
On the twenty-first day, Tang Ren finally returned to the Confucius Mansion with a third-grade scholar, but Master Kong turned them away.
Tang Ren and Daru went to the Zou family again to knock on the door, but the person who came to greet them was a branch of the Zou family. They said that Zou Qianhu and his wife went to the tomb of Mr. Zou in the mountains to report their marriage to the Kong family.
Tang Ren and Da Ru stayed near the Confucius family for three days. During the three days, Tang Ren knocked on the door of the Confucius family house every day, but the Confucius family closed their doors to thank guests.
On the twenty-fifth day, the Confucius Mansion was suddenly filled with people. Tang Ren heard from outside the wall that it seemed that Kong Qingqiu had committed suicide by cutting his wrists?
He no longer cared about etiquette and just climbed over the wall into the inner palace and broke into Kong Qingqiu's bedroom. He saw Kong Qingqiu lying on the bed with a bloodless face and a thick hemostatic strip wrapped around his wrist.
Within a moment, Zou Chongyu also came to Kong's house.
Tang Ren returned to Kong Qingqiu and regained his supernatural powers. He sent a letter to the great scholar and forced Zou Chongyu to tell the truth on the spot using "words and words".
Zou Chongyu cried while speaking. After finishing speaking, he hysterically vomited blood all over the floor.
