As soon as the words came out, Geng Yan felt something was wrong. When he saw Geng Cheng's relaxed expression and Geng Wen's almost frozen expression, he felt something was wrong even more.
"Brother, what happened to your general Ma San? Why can't you recruit him? What happened? There is something going on in the camp outside the city these days. I have been staying in the camp to help and have not entered the city at all. I just came back to say hello to my mother. , the third brother came, and then you, the eldest brother, came too. As soon as you two came up, you listed a lot of charges for me. Brother, in order to judge the case in the Yamen, there is a series of evidence such as the time of crime, motive, witness and material evidence, etc. Woolen cloth……"
"Geng Cheng, don't pretend to be confused..."
"Second brother, since you think so, let's report it to the officials, let the officials from the yamen come to investigate, and let the county magistrate judge. No matter what the final result is, we will accept it."
Now that Geng Cheng mentioned the Yamen, Geng Wen immediately found the right moment and said what he had planned for a long time. In order to prevent Geng Yan, the stumbling block, from holding him back again, he almost said this at the top of his voice. Those words suppressed Geng Yan's loud voice.
Jin Bao, who was ordered by his girl to listen to the situation, clenched his fists tightly. The eldest man performed very well today, but the third master... is really not a good teammate, but the eldest man turned the tide just now. I hope he can scare the second master. .
Geng Cheng in the room did not expect Geng Wen to say such words as the reporter.
Is he really planning to do this? Or a threat?
Geng Cheng couldn't tell Geng Wen's true thoughts from his tense expression. He was a little anxious, but he still tried his best to maintain the original confused and innocent look on his face.
"Brother, I don't understand everything you said, and the charges you put on me are even more inexplicable. If you want to report it to the official, then..."
"Geng Wen, why are you crazy? Do you want to destroy the century-old foundation of the Geng family ancestors..."
"Brother, you can't report to the official. As soon as the official comes to your door, all these bad things in the family will be spread everywhere. Our sister Chen hasn't said goodbye yet, and her stepbrother is trying to attract her brother. She still has to study, and she will have to talk about it in the future. relative."
Before Geng Cheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voices of Mrs. Bo and Geng Yan.
Madam Bo's tone was urgent and fearful, her face was fierce and her heart was filled with sadness.
Geng Yan was shocked and anxious, and couldn't believe it.
No matter which one, his voice was louder than Geng Cheng's, and he also seemed more guilty than Geng Cheng.
Jin Bao, who was eavesdropping, gritted his teeth and said, "The third master is really a pig teammate, how can he be so stupid!"
Seeing Geng Cheng's relaxed look again, Geng Wen took a deep breath and said, "I have decided. Since you don't admit it, Geng Cheng, the only way is to report it to the official. If it weren't for you, I would be able to clear your name." I suspect that if you... have a brother like you, it is my misfortune and my third brother's. I feel chilled. Even if the government does not punish you for what you did, our family will no longer be able to live with you. Let’s split up immediately!”
Geng Wen wanted to save him again. After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without giving Geng Cheng a chance to respond.
He had already made up his mind. At worst, he reported it to the officials. Even if Yang Qiye was unwilling to testify, as long as the Yamen sent an official to visit him, he might be able to find out something without Yang Qiye coming forward.
At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the hesitation and anxiety he felt in Qingcui Courtyard, and he gave it a go!
Geng Cheng walked firmly and resolutely. At that moment, no one would think that what he said was a lie.
Geng Cheng's heart sank, and he didn't have time to think of anything. He quickly raised his feet to follow him and stop him.
Even Madam Xia, who was sitting at the top, stood up with a sound as if waking up from a dream. She didn't even have time to lift her skirt and was about to rush towards Geng Wen.
She had already thought about it. If Geng Wen dared to report to the official, he would have to step over her body to see if he dared to do such a treasonous thing.
However, none of them could catch up with Geng Yan. They saw Geng Yan pounce, his tall and strong body directly knocking down Geng Wen from behind who was looking firmly ahead.
"Brother, you are confused and cannot report to the official."
Geng Yan whispered urgently to Geng Wen who was pressed by him, looking at him as if he were a stupid person.
Once reported to the official, a down-and-out uncle like theirs, who has no holy heart to begin with, may be deprived of his title at any time if there is a scandal like his uncle framed his niece.
Geng Cheng was naturally punished, but wouldn't they be implicated? After all, with the title of Prince's House, the children would have more confidence to propose marriage.
This is really a trick that can hurt others by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred.
Geng Yan felt that there was no need to go to such an extent.
After all, Geng Xingshuang and Geng Xingchen did not really fall into the water.
The situation is over!
At this time, whether it was Geng Wen in the room or Jin Bao hiding in the back of the yard and eavesdropping, these four words appeared in his mind at the same time.
Geng Wen returned to Qingcui Courtyard dejectedly. Of course, before going back, he pulled Geng Yan and scolded him severely.
Thinking that when Geng Yan learned that he was not really going to sue the government, but was just using this to blackmail Mrs. Bo and Geng Cheng, and wanted to share the family wealth equally, he said quietly, "You...don't do it earlier." Tell me, if I had known earlier, I would have acted with you, and maybe I could have performed better than you." After saying this, I sighed deeply in my heart.
"I'm back, let's have dinner."
Geng Wen originally thought that when he came back, his wife would definitely ask about the result, but Ruan just greeted him for dinner gently as usual.
"Ah Ying..." Geng Wen hesitated.
"Okay, let's eat. We already know what happened in the main courtyard, so we don't blame you."
Ruan interrupted his next words.
Geng Wen looked at his daughter, and Geng Xingshuang gave him a playful smile.
"Dad, it is Third Uncle who is too incompetent and is holding you back. I will talk to Seventh Sister tomorrow about how to deal with Third Uncle's tall image in her mind."
"You girl..." Ruan laughed.
Geng Wen thought of his experience today when he was so angry with Geng Yan that he almost vomited blood. I thought this idea was a good one and nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Geng Yan, who was full of guilt and guilt, had just returned to Wutong Courtyard. Faced with the questioning looks of his wife and daughter, he didn't even want to eat dinner, and said, "I...I'm going to the study room in the outer courtyard to rest, go...go." Read a book, I won’t be back tonight” and ran away.
"Hey... Where are the books in your study..."
Before Jiang could finish her words, Geng Yan had disappeared.
Geng Xingchen curled his lips and said, "Dad must not have done well in front of my second uncle."
Mrs. Jiang also understood, "What kind of stupid thing have you done, and you can't even talk about it anymore."
"It's okay. I'll ask Sixth Sister tomorrow. My uncle will definitely be there too, and Sixth Sister will definitely know."
But Geng Yan, who had already arrived in the outer courtyard, suddenly thought of a question.
"Ma San was sent to the quarry by someone by himself. Where did the elder brother get the news? No, I have to ask."
When taking a bath at night, Geng Xingshuang opened the curtain and Jinbao, and looked at her chest. She thought it might be green, but it wasn't.
Since last night, her chest has been feeling tight. She thought it was caused by the collision yesterday, but now it seems that there is no external injury.
Could it be an internal injury?
I don't know if I will really ask Sister Xu to take my pulse tomorrow.
That night, Geng Xingshuang still slept uneasily. Her chest felt tight and her heartbeat accelerated. She finally settled down, but it was already dawn.
