"Master Marquis, what do you mean by this? Now that things have happened, how dare I lie to you again?"
Thinking that Su Henan didn't trust him, Uncle Wen Yuan couldn't care less about the embarrassment in his heart and hurriedly explained:
"If I hadn't been afraid that the Marquis would misunderstand the uncle's intentions, why would I have exposed my family's scandal? I have no ability, after all, I am a man, how could I use such a thing as a cover..."
The essential!
This time, they were facing the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion, the family members of General Dingyuan!
That person easily made his wife miss her for a lifetime, and all he cared for and cared about day by day was nothing more than a body.
Comparing the two, I feel even more sad.
However, for fear that the Hou Mansion would target his wife even more crazily after the investigation was clear, Wen Yuanbo did not even dare to hide his shame, so he could only expose the facts nakedly in order to beg for forgiveness.
It can be said that at this moment, Uncle Wen Yuan, in order to save his wife, has trampled on his face and dignity.
And how could Su Henan not know this?
He sighed, looked at Uncle Wen Yuan with some sympathy, and said slowly:
"Uncle, I misunderstood. What I said just now did not mean to doubt you."
"I mean Mrs. Zhang."
"The divorce was not brought up by the Hou family at that time. My eldest brother had just had an accident at that time, and everyone in the family kept it secret from my mother for fear that something would happen to her, but Mrs. Zhang came to the door in a hurry and ran to my mother crying that she was suffering. , She was so shocked that she fainted on the spot. Later, the news of my eldest brother’s death was confirmed, and the Zhang family even came to the door overnight to cancel the engagement... But just to look good, the Zhang family again talked about the Zhang family’s marriage, and the Hou family missed that old relationship. , coupled with the loss of two masters at that time, I really couldn’t withstand the turmoil, so I complied with them, and only then did I tell the public that the Hou Mansion took the initiative to cancel the engagement..."
"Zhang's decision to break off the engagement cannot be said to be wrong. But I don't believe how much affection she has for my eldest brother. Brother Li had better not be deceived."
Hear the words.
Everyone:! ! !
I never imagined that there would be such an inside story.
For a moment, the flower hall was extremely quiet, and the sound of moving chairs in the side hall became more and more harsh.
Su Henan raised his eyelids and glanced in the direction of his two sons, without saying anything more.
As for Wen Yuanbo——
Uncle Wen Yuan was already dumbfounded and had no time to pay attention to those small movements.
He always thought that Mrs. Zhang would marry him because of pressure from her family and because she had no choice but to do so. Zhang was quite famous back then, and Uncle Wen Yuan admired her, but he could only keep it in his heart. After all, her fiancé was so outstanding, but he had no ability.
Unexpectedly, one day, the beauty fell into the mud and married him.
Uncle Wen Yuan was both happy and frightened. And Mrs. Zhang was as noble and loyal as he imagined, and she could never forget her ex-fiancé.
But the more she behaved like this, the more guilty Wen Yuanbo felt.
He couldn't make any achievements outside, so he worked hard to be a good husband with twenty-four filial piety. He only obeyed his wife these years, just to prove to her that he was not too far behind.
Unexpectedly, all of this turned out to be lies.
The so-called emotional single-mindedness and the so-called aloofness are just ways to manipulate him after seeing through his temperament.
After figuring it out, Wen Yuanbo smiled bitterly.
Seeing his reaction, Su Henan basically guessed the truth after considering the causes and consequences. He was obviously very angry when he came, but now he can't bear it.
However, even if some words are cruel, they still need to be said.
Su Henan put down the teacup, stood up, walked to Uncle Wen Yuan, patted his shoulder, and said seriously:
"Normally I shouldn't get involved in the affairs of your uncle's house, but there is one thing... I heard Jing Wen say that the prince of your uncle's house studied with him, and he often consulted with him for advice. His handwriting is even more similar to Jing Wen wrote exactly the same thing... I don’t know if he was influenced by those paintings. Your uncle’s family has been passed down for several generations, and the prince is very knowledgeable. Brother Li should pay more attention to it, but don’t let the child become left-wing. "
With that said, Su Henan winked at Deyi.
Deyi then stepped forward respectfully, carefully folded the stack of paintings and handed them to Uncle Wen Yuan.
And Uncle Wen Yuan, who had just been feeling sad, turned green after reading the content in the painting.
Veins popped up on his face. After being silent for a long time, he actually took the initiative and said:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for reminding me. I will definitely give the Marquis an explanation for this matter."
Obviously, Mrs. Zhang wanted to use the same method to manipulate their son, which had completely angered Uncle Wen Yuan and made him determined.
Su Henan felt very satisfied and smiled like an old fox.
He also said generously:
"I believe in your uncle's character. It's getting late, so I won't keep you here. Deyi, see you off."
At this point, under Su Henan's pretense of "generosity", the matter was easily resolved without much effort.
Uncle Wen Yuan left the Hou Mansion in a daze.
Deyi was also urged by Su Henan to send Uncle Wen Yuan back to his residence responsibly, for fear that something might happen to him on the way.
However, after everyone dispersed, the two brothers who quietly slipped out of the side hall looked at the bright smile on Su Henan's face and exchanged tacit glances.
"Father, do you want them to fight like dogs?"
Since there were no outsiders around, Su Jingwu didn't have too many scruples and spoke a little carelessly.
"How can you let dog eat dog when it comes to matters between husband and wife?"
As the eldest brother, Su Jingwen was more reserved and said with a smile:
"This is obviously because Uncle Wen Yuan, a loyal admirer, has been deceived for many years. In the end, he found out that his sweetheart had ulterior motives and had an ugly true face. He went back to settle accounts. The second brother's words are really not elegant..."
"Is it my fault?"
The two of them joked and joked for a while, making Su Henan laugh.
"Okay, it's not easy for Uncle Wen Yuan. He doesn't even say a few words. When he goes out, he even pretends that he has never heard of it."
Seeing that the two boys were serious, Su Henan turned to his eldest son:
"Now do you know why Li Sicheng is jealous of you?"
Su Jingwen nodded, his tone a little sad:
"Although I don't understand the uncle's intention, I think she must have mentioned me in front of Li Sicheng every day in the past few years, praised me, and used me as a standard for her son. How she used my uncle to stimulate her husband, she How can she use me as a "fake son" to stimulate her son... Then Li Sicheng is not very old, and he is treated like this every day. It is normal that he can't think about it..."
"Children can be taught."
Su Henan was quite satisfied with Su Jingwen's answer.
"As for what he is thinking, it's better to guess. It's just to keep his favor."
"A solid pet?"
Su Jingwen was confused: "Isn't Uncle Wen Yuan obedient enough to his wife?"
It’s just that I almost didn’t kneel down and lick it.
That's it, do you still want to keep your favor?
"This involves playing with people's hearts. You have to explore it yourself."
Su Henan smiled: "Of course, unwillingness also plays a role. Mrs. Zhang is not a simple person. She hurriedly married into the uncle's house back then. Although she asked for it, she may not be unwilling in her heart. Seeing your appearance now, It’s okay to want to compete.”
Not to mention, according to my daughter's description, Li Sicheng really got his way in his previous life.
Wenyuan Bo's Mansion became Wenyuan Hou's Mansion.
On the other hand, the Marquis of Jingyang's Mansion had all its members executed for treason and ceased to exist.
Two brothers:! ! !
Su Jingwen frowned and thought for a long time before nodding: "My son understands. Li Sicheng will handle it properly and won't let him affect me."
"Is it enough just not to be affected by him?"
Su Henan obviously disagreed with his eldest son's words:
"A thief can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Three years is not three days. Since he has such thoughts, how can he completely change with just a few words. Boss, you have to cut the grass to get rid of the roots. This is not the intention. Being cruel is good for the Su family. Li Sicheng doesn't have a good parent, I hope you can teach him and let him know what it means to reap the consequences."
Su Henan's words, without any surprise, brought back Su Jingwen's memories.
He thought of the previous life described in his sister's voice.
He also realized that he was trying to be simple, thinking that without Zhang's intervention, Li Sicheng would slowly improve and would no longer target the Hou Mansion, so he relaxed.
And this kind of carelessness will undoubtedly hurt those close to you.
At this point, Su Jingwen no longer had any worries and directly agreed to his father's words.
Seeing this, Su Henan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "In that case, I will leave those unruly slaves to your disposal, and let my father see your methods."
The so-called Diao Nu includes not only Hua Qing, but also Mrs. Li and the large family behind her.
Now that the matters in the uncle's house have been taken care of, it's time to deal with them.
Just do it.
Su Henan immediately asked someone to lift them up.
As soon as they saw the father and son, several people burst into tears and started talking about old things.
The painting was about sobbing and recalling the past, talking about the two years she had served in the palace, how she had served Su Jingwen, how she admired Su Jingwen... In short, painting a portrait for the uncle's house was just an accident, and it was definitely not what she really wanted to do. .
As for Mrs. Li, it’s a cliché.
The one who was crying and singing was all about the old lady.
She is not as white as Huaqing, who directly admits that she has done something wrong. I just want to ask the host to spare her a life for the sake of serving the old lady.
After all, according to her own words, she had no merit but hard work, so she should just let the old lady go with peace of mind.
What a coincidence.
What the two cried and complained not only had no effect, but actually made Su Jingwen feel that they were even more hateful.
The Su Mansion treated them well.
Especially Mrs. Li, she actually had the nerve to mention the old lady. If the old lady knew that this old woman almost killed her own grandson, she might not be able to live peacefully underground.
"Huaqing and Mrs. Li each have eighty responsibilities."
"As for Granny Li's family, if Granny Li has done such a deceiving thing, the government will not dare to keep you anymore. Tomorrow, we will ask Granny Lin to find someone to sell you to far away, and you will not be allowed to stay in the capital anymore."
This punishment is over.
The flower hall was quiet for a while, and soon the crying became louder.
Hua Qing and Mrs. Li cried hoarsely.
Even a strong man cannot bear the eighty-year-old rod. It will directly kill them!
As for Mrs. Li's family, they beat and scolded Mrs. Li.
When there are benefits, it's not their turn, but when they take the blame, they are implicated. Life in the Hou Mansion was so good. Even though he was a slave, the master was not harsh. He couldn't find anyone better in the capital, but it would be different once he was sold.
I'm afraid they won't get better in the future!
For a time, the flower hall was full of crying and noisy sounds.
Su Henan was quite satisfied with his son's handling. He didn't bother to look at the ugly faces of these unruly slaves, so he took his sons to the backyard.
Just when Su Henan was teaching his son.
the other side.
Uncle Wen Yuan, who returned home in a daze, also sent someone to call the prince over.
