Family Has a Concubine

Ye Chengde said: "We... We didn't intend to steal anything. Those things were originally... No, I mean, we just want to get back our letters, and we didn't steal anything."

"That's right!" Yin Tingniang said bitterly. "Who is spreading the rumors? Please ask the governor to investigate carefully. Maybe we can help! Maybe we can catch a big fish. After all, spreading rumors and causing trouble also costs money. I intended to spend so much money to Remedial people, I don't know who it will be?"

Now, she knew that it was impossible to pour dirty water on Wen Shi and Ye Tang. He could only admit that it was a rumor, and use it to threaten them, so that the governor gave them a light sentence for burglary.

After finishing speaking, Yin Tingniang cast a cold glance at Ye Tangcai, it was the Liao family who wanted to punish them, they must know! And dare not bite again.

Cheng Fuyin's brows furrowed deeply.

He has always been well-informed, but the Liao family married a daughter, but a fiancée came to make a scene, which made a big joke.

As an enemy of the Liao family, Qi Min was rescued by Ye Tangcai, so the Liao family would naturally target Ye Tangcai.

Therefore, the facts were already in front of them—the Liao family contributed money, Ye Chengde contributed, and the two families came forward to pour dirty water on Ye Tangcai's mother and daughter and Qi Min.

Although Cheng Fuyin wanted to be a good official, he tried his best to be fair and just. But there are some things, as long as the rich and powerful are involved, it is impossible to really do this.

If he offends someone, then he doesn't even have to be a governor. If the next office is someone who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, then the common people will complain.

Cheng Fuyin sighed slightly, afraid that Ye Chengde would be punished too severely, if Ye Chengde was careless, the Liao family would be involved, and then he would be implicated.

Thinking about it, Cheng Fu Yin looked at Ye Tangcai: "Chu Ye?"

Ye Tangcai said coldly: "Your Excellency, as the governor, we sue the officials, and we ask your Excellency to make a judgment. Whatever your Excellency thinks is suitable, then let's judge it!"

Cheng Fuyin's old face flushed slightly, and he coughed dryly: "Then give twenty sticks!"

Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang burst into laughter.

They know that there is more than just punishment for smothering and stealing! Not to compare with others, last year Ye Chengde was sentenced to 30 boards and imprisoned for three months for touching Wen's dowry.

Now with a stick of twenty, the punishment is really much lighter!

Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang breathed a sigh of relief, they were just pretending to be powerful, and they succeeded!

Thinking about it, she looked at Ye Tangcai and Wen's proudly, tsk tsk, after all, she was still afraid of the Liao family.

Now they can't bite them, even if they have almost washed away the stigma, they still haven't done anything to them, I'm afraid they will be annoyed to death!

Thinking of this, Ye Chengde finally had some comfort in his heart.

Ye Tang's long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering up the sarcasm and triumph in her bright eyes.

She just let them go on purpose!

Because, compared to being in prison, the outside is their hell in the future!

Just now when Yin Tingniang looked at Ye Chengde with disgust, Ye Tangcai had already caught it.

Yin Ting couldn't hold back for a long time, and even took Xu Dashi's money, the reason why she stopped again was because Ye Chengde suddenly took back twenty taels of silver, which made Yin Tingniang see hope again!

Now, Ye Chengde has been beaten back to his original form again, Yin Tingniang is afraid that Ye Chengde has despaired, after that... tsk tsk, I feel sour when I think about it!

Putting them in prison and shutting them up, how could it be as fun to sing a big show for them outside!

"Execution!" Cheng Fuyin shouted coldly.

The yamen servants immediately brought up two long benches, Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang were put on them, and the boards swung down with a bang.

"Ahhh—" Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang screamed desperately after being beaten.

Ye Tangcai, Wen Shi and the others were relieved to see it.

Ye Chengde gritted his teeth and endured the pain, staring at Ye Tangcai and Wen's with hatred. So what if they were beaten, so what if they were punished! There is also the Liao family behind it!

That Miss Liao is rich and famous, it's not easy to beat them to death!

Wait! Soon they will be punished again! And the revenge is endless!

Seeing that Ye Chengde and Yin Tingniang were beaten, Ye Tangcai left with Wen Shi and Qi Min.

The rumors of these days came to an abrupt end because Ye Tangcai dragged Ye Cheng to the court for a trial.

"Why did you say how many men you slept with? You even told me where the birthmark was. It turned out that the ex-husband was talking nonsense."

"But there is no evidence to prove that Ye Chengde did it!" Someone said. "Even Fu Yin didn't judge him for spreading rumors. Maybe he was wronged."

"Injustice? Pooh! How many nasty things has Ye Chengde done? Shall I count them one by one? Among other things, the one thing is to persecute his first wife as an ordinary wife for the sake of an outsider, and confuse him with wild species." Their own blood, occupying their own son's inheritance rights, these few things are extremely shameless, even more shameless than spreading rumors now! Even doing that kind of thing, now spreading rumors, isn't it a child's play for them?"

"We will not dispute Ye Chengde's character. But the problem now is, maybe that rumor is true! It has nothing to do with Ye Chengde."

"Really? Let's find out those men and talk about it!"

"Even if she really has an affair with Wen's, she would do that kind of thing secretly. She doesn't want others to know about it. Who would be willing to admit it and stand up?"

"Since you dare not stand up and want to squint quietly, why did one man after another stand up to speak out a while ago, but they couldn't find a real person?"

It's just spread around like this outside, saying everything. But it is no longer as one-sided as before. Most people feel that it is a rumor made out of nothing.

July is hot, but the weather is still very hot, and the autumn tiger is vicious.

Qiuju walked in with an umbrella, put the umbrella away when she got on the corridor, and then walked into the house along the corridor, and saw Ye Tangcai and Wen Shi embroidering shoe uppers.

Seeing her coming in, Ye Tangcai smiled and said, "What did you find out today?"

"It's still being discussed, but everyone doesn't talk about us anymore." Qiuju said with a sigh of relief, "But there are still a small part of them who are smearing."

"There is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house." Wen said, "As long as I don't die, people will speak ill of me."

Qiu Ju said: "It's Ye Chengde's place, it's really cheap for him! Only 20 boards were beaten, and he didn't even enter the cell." His tone was full of unwillingness.

Ye Tangcai sneered: "I'm afraid Yin Tingniang won't be able to hold back anymore."

"No matter how you say it, things are not that bad anymore, Sister Tang should go home." Wen said. "Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, so we should go home for the festival. Pack up and go back now!"

Ye Tangcai curled her lips, she likes to cling to Wen's.

The Chu family lost Chu Yunpan, and Ye Tangcai didn't want to stay at all.

Ye Tangcai dawdled for a while before being pushed into the carriage by Wen.

Qing'er drove the horse out of the house, and returned to Dingguobo Mansion in two quarters of an hour. As soon as the carriage entered the Chuihua Gate, the Chu family knew about it, and immediately a little maid went to Yixiangyuan to report.

Qin Shi and Chu Miaoshu were sitting on the couch cutting the window grilles when Lu Ye walked in: "Madam, the third grandma is back."

Qin's face darkened, and she threw the small scissors in her hand: "That bitch has the face to come back!"

"It's spread all over the outside world, saying that she hooked up with that Wen family man." Chu Miaoshu said coldly.

Luye's little face froze, hasn't this been clarified?

But Luye has followed the Qin family for many years, so she naturally understands her thoughts. Even if Ye Tangcai was cleared of the stigma now, Secretary Qin and Chu Miao hated Ye Tangcai, so they pushed Ye Tangcai into the sewage in their hearts.

They wished that Ye Tangcai's reputation would be ruined and trampled to death. But in this way, their Chu family will not fare well. Especially Chu Miaoshu hasn't said anything about marriage yet, if sister-in-law really hooks up with a man, then she will also be affected.

But now, the problem is not that...

"The third grandma is here." A servant girl's voice sounded from outside.

The curtain was lifted with a sound of "Wow", and Ye Tangcai came slowly: "Mother, eldest sister."

Qin's face darkened, and she only said coldly: "Why are you back?"

"Tomorrow is Qixi Festival, Qiqiao Festival, so I will go home to celebrate the festival." Ye Tangcai said.

Qin thought that Qi Min was still living at Qiu's house, which was rescued by Ye Tang. In fact, she had already guessed that the matter in front of her was the work of the Liao family.

Ye Tangcai lives at Qiu's house and has already implicated the Wen family. If she goes back to Chu's house, won't she implicate their Chu family? If Chu Miaoshu's reputation is ruined, how can he say goodbye?

Qin said with a dark face: "It's not a big deal to beg for cleverness, we have a lot of family members. Your mother is alone, you go and spend time with her!"

Ye Tangcai rolled her eyes, and she nodded, "Okay, then I'll go."

After saying blessings, he turned and left.

Qin's resentment: "The unlucky thing, if it weren't for that old man, I would have divorced her long ago."

Chu family——

The water pavilion with octagonal eaves on the top of the helmet is located in the center of the lotus pond. Looking up, you can see a piece of greenery. Sporadic pink lotus flowers are interspersed and blooming in buds, adding a bit of charm to this lotus pond.

Chu Pingfeng was drinking and chatting with a group of colleagues in the water pavilion.

"Oh, the environment here is really nice!" Zhao Fanxu stood in the waterside pavilion, holding a white jade wine glass in his hand, facing the green lotus pond outside, feeling sour in his heart: "Such a big courtyard, we new scholars I don’t know how many years I have to struggle to buy it!”

All the people here are the new scholars of this year.

And most of them are from poor families, even if the family is relatively rich, they are just country gentry and rich peasants, how can they compare with a wealthy compound like Chu Pingfeng's family. And it is located in the capital city, with such a compound, I don't know how many people have been killed by Xian.

A green-robed man in his thirties said: "Many of us are born like us, and many of them have been officials for more than ten or twenty years, and they may not be able to buy a residence in the capital, let alone Brother Chu's mansion!" They are all envious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in black robe at the side nudged him lightly with his elbow and gave him a wink.

The green-robed man was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that what he said might hit Chu Pingfeng's sore spot, so he heheed, pretending not to know.
