Chapter seventy-three(1/2)

"Let the young master come over to pay homage to the prince of Chengjin." Song Sui ordered.

The servant left.

Seeing that Song Sui only asked Song Huai to come and see the guests, Tuo Yan realized that although Song Sui was a fifth-rank official, the Song family was a prominent family, not a Pengmen family, and had strict family tutors. Women could not meet foreign men at will. In other words, he wasted a day here in vain.

"Pa" Tuo Yan dropped the black spot in his hand. The light flashed in his lower eyes and returned without help. He had never been his style. He looked up at Song Sui who was sitting opposite and smiled: "One year, my nephew went to Jinglian Temple to incense with his aunt. Thanks to the second girl's introduction, he had to see the face of the god nun. Later, he hurriedly left and had not yet thanked the second girl. It was really rude."

"This is just a small effort for the little girl, and it's nothing." Song Sui smiled and fell a piece on the chessboard.

"This time my nephew came to Guangling, and my aunt specifically asked me to visit my nephew in the mansion. Thank you, Miss Second." Tuo Yan then dropped his son down.

"You are not polite, you have to be a good man. This is just a trivial matter, no need to thank you." Song Sui was thinking about chess, and he couldn't hear what Tuo Yan meant.

Tuo Yan touched his chin and said, "I saw that the second girl looked very familiar to me, but I couldn't remember which girl it was. I felt that she was too miserable to live in the temple at such a young age. My aunt felt compassionate and almost wanted to ask the second girl from Shenni. Fortunately, the Zeng cousin recognized her, otherwise she would have been too rude to the second girl."

"People who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name are compassionate and make their aunt unaware of the truth, so that they are like this." Song Sui said generously.

Tuo Yan was secretly anxious. He had not yet inherited the title, and now he proposed to take Song Ruoxi as his concubine. Song Sui would definitely not agree. If he could see Song Ruoxi and coax her to agree, Song Sui would not be able to stop him. But how could he let her come out to meet?

Just as Tuo Yan was working hard, Song Huai had already entered the door. Seeing that there was an outsider, he saluted and said, "Father, son is back."

"Huai'er, come and see the prince of Cheng Jin!"

Song Huai bowed and said, "You have met the prince, so how can the prince be."

"You don't have to be too polite, brother Yu saw you when you were a child." Tuo Yan helped his hands and smiled politely.

"I was still young when I was in the middle of the capital, and I don't remember it anymore." Seeing that Tuo Yan called him a virtuous brother, Song Huai also changed his name.

"At that time, Brother Yu heard that you recited "Student Training" by Langlang, and you knew that you would become grand in the future. It was rare to come to Guangling and visit the mansion. I wanted to see the little prodigy of that year. Uncle Shi said, "You went to the Zhang family with your sisters as a guest, and thought you would be squandered. Fortunately, brother, you are back, Brother Yu is worth the trip." Tuo Yan deceived Song Huai's young age and intended to please him, intending to break through from him.

"I didn't go to the Zhang family to visit the sisters, but went to the Shuxiang Academy to read books and pick up and drop off the sisters." Song Huai said with a smile.

"I heard that Guangling Mansion Shuxiang Courtyard has millions of books. I wonder what good books have you found?"

"I found a few good books, but my second sister asked them for them."

"Sister Ling wants it all, aren't you upset?"

"No, as long as my sister likes it, I will accompany her to find a book tomorrow."

A faint light flashed in Tuo Yan's eyes. He was very happy to receive the news and praised him: "Sister Ling is a book lover. Uncle Shi, the Song family is worthy of being a prominent family, and even Shimei is well-educated."

"They just recognize a few words." Song Sui stroked his beard and smiled happily, "Come on, nephew, you and I will finish this game of chess first."

Song Huai stood beside Song Sui and watched the two play chess.

In the evening, Tuo Yan stayed in the Song Mansion for dinner before saying goodbye. The next day, he went to Shuxiangyuan to wait for the Song brothers and sisters, but he did not expect that the two did not come. It was not Song Ruoxi who knew that he was going, so he deliberately avoided him, but Song Ruohu complained in Song Sui, which made her unable to go.

Yesterday, Song Sui was at home and did not go to the yamen to handle official duties. This morning, Aunt Mei was serving her to change into her official uniform. After breakfast, she went out to go to the yamen. When she knew that she had just stepped out of the yard, Song Ruohu came over crying, "Father."

"Hu'er, why are you crying early in the morning? Who bullied you?" Song Sui asked with a frown.

"Father, she let her second sister do the murderer." Song Ruohu rolled up his sleeves and exposed the fingerprints on his wrist that had turned from red to blue. Her skin was fair, and the fingerprint that actually did not cause any pain seemed shocking.

Aunt Mei, who sent Song Sui out, looked at Song Ruohu, who was crying and was as frowning as if she was raining.

Song Sui stared at the fingerprint, his eyes were filled with anger, and asked in a deep voice: "You are injured, why don't you ask the doctor to come and see you?"

"Daughter doesn't dare. My daughter is afraid that she will alarm her wife, so she is locked up again." Song Ruohu looked at Song Sui in tears and she looked at him in distraught. "Father, my daughter's wrist hurts all night. Will her daughter be disabled?"

"No, Hu'er, don't worry, my father will ask the best doctor in the city to treat your injuries." Song Sui comforted Song Ruohu while asking someone to invite the doctor.

"Second sister is so cruel." Song Ruohu lowered his head and wiped his eyes, and a smug smile flashed in his eyes. She didn't believe that Song Ruoxi would not be punished this time.

"Go and call the second girl." Song Sui brought Song Ruohu into Aunt Mei's room. Zhu Xing took Song Sui's "chicken feathers" and excitedly went to mention the "inmate" Song Ruoxi.

Aunt Mei saw Song Sui coaxing Song Ruohu in whispering, quietly exiting the room, and sent the maid beside her to invite Ji Yun.

Zhu Xing rushed to Song Ruoxi's yard. Song Ruoxi was about to go out with a hand warmer in his hand heater. Zhu Xing raised her chin slightly, but she didn't give her a greeting, saying, "Miss Two, Master, let you go right away."

"Where to go?" Song Ruoxi asked.

"Aunt Mei's yard." Zhu Xing said.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly, "Scanbi, please follow me."

"Yes, girl." The silkworm came out in response.

Song Ruoxi took Canniang and Qinghe out, followed Zhu Xing to Mei's yard.

"The second girl is here." As soon as Song Ruoxi entered the courtyard, the maid informed her inward.

"Let her come in." Song Sui's voice was angry.

Song Ruoxi walked into the room and saw Song Ruohu sitting in the room with red eyes. He snorted and walked to Song Sui and bowed: "Daughter, I wish my father goodbye, my father will be blessed."

"Xi'er, why did you let your maid commit crimes and hurt your sister?" Song Sui asked coldly.

"When you say goodbye to your father, Xi'er has never instigated his maid to commit crimes." Song Ruoxi said softly.

"Is the injury on your sister's wrist fake?" Song Sui blew his beard and put on a majestic statement of trial in the court. Unfortunately, there was no gavel in front of him for knocking him.

Song Ruoxi frowned slightly. She was a little confused about Song Ruohu using such a small matter that could be found out by investigating. Isn’t she afraid of being punished by Song Sui after the matter was found out? Or is she still having any other tricks? Her eyes flashed slightly and she said, “Since the eldest sister is here to complain to her father, she should explain the matter from beginning to end. What’s going on with such a pinch of the head and end?”

Song Ruohu refused to answer, turned back, cried loudly, and looked pitiful as if he had suffered all his grievances but dared not speak out.

"Bang!" Song Sui slapped the table and said angrily: "Xi'er, you dare to question your sister so aggressively in front of your father. It shows how you usually bully your sisters?"

Song Ruoxi was surprised. He didn't expect Song Sui to convict her like this. His eyes were slightly narrowed and he said, "Father, I've only been home for more than a month. My eldest sister has been recuperating in the room for about 20 days. We have met only a handful of times. How could I have the chance to bully her at will?"

"You don't have the chance to bully Hu'er at home, so you took advantage of yesterday's visit to commit murder and hurt your sister." Song Sui admitted that the case was clear and looked at Song Ruoxi with pain. "I originally thought you were a reasonable child, but I didn't want to be so spoiled and arrogant. I am useless to pity you and praise you on weekdays, but I don't want to be so cruel and can also attack my own sister. I really don't know how your mother taught you? Today, if you don't punish you for your father, others will say that you will not teach your father's adopted daughter. From today on, you will be suspended for one month and copy the "Women's Commandments" ten times a day. Without me, you are not allowed to go out."

Song Ruoxi was stunned. She didn't expect Song Sui to distort her words so much. She didn't expect Song Sui to be a spoiled and cruel person. She didn't expect Song Sui to settle the case in a hasty way and said punishment.

Song Ruohu covered her face with a veil, hiding the corners of her raised lips.

Qinghe stepped forward and knelt down and said, "My master, it was not the second girl who made the maid commit murder and hurt the girl, but the girl slandered the wife. When the second girl saw that the maid disrespect the legitimate mother, she said a few words to the girl. Not only did the girl not listen, but she was also angry and waved to beat the second girl. I took action to stop the maid. The finger mark on the maid's wrist was pinched by me for a while. This was not something that the second girl had. Please tell me."

Song Ruoxi curled his lips disdainfully and took a look at his nonsense. With his confusing trial of the case, Guangling Mansion has had many unjust, false and wrong cases in the past five years. Fortunately, people outside praised him as an honest and honest official.

"Father, this maid is from the second sister, and what she said is not credible. Zhu Xing can testify for her daughter, and her daughter has never said anything to slander her wife." Song Ruohu defended.

"Qinghe is my person, and Zhu Xing is also my sister's person. What Qinghe said is not credible. Can she be credible?" Song Ruoxi asked sarcastically.

Song Ruohu said: "Father, Zhu Xing is honest and loyal. Everything you say must be true and will never deceive your father."

Zhu Xing knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the matter is not what Qinghe said, but the second girl thought the eldest girl was squeezing her in the carriage, so she asked Qinghe to drag the eldest girl away and hurt the eldest girl's wrist."

A sharp light flashed in Song Ruoxi's eyes and stepped forward and said, "Father, Xi'er doesn't want to make too much excuse for this matter. My father has been an official for many years and must have known that if he wants to listen to the truth, he needs to use severe punishment. Then ask his father to carefully examine these two maids and see who is lying."

Aunt Mei poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Song Sui, saying, "I'm sorry, please don't blame me."

"What are you going to say?" Song Sui frowned in an upset and asked in an unhappy tone.

Aunt Mei saw the little maid who went to find Ji Yun and slipped into the room quietly. Knowing that Ji Yun had arrived, she stood outside the house and chuckled: "I know that the master is in a hurry to go to the yamen to handle official duties, but this matter involves the two girls. The master should take some time to find out. The master often says that the investigation should be meticulous, and the good people should not be wronged or let the bad people be free. Today, for the reputation of the two girls, I'd better ask a few more questions!"

Song Sui looked at Song Ruohu and then at Song Ruoxi, "If I were to find out who was lying, I would be fine."

"Father, there are no yamen runners here for my father to send. Cannabi, please help me!" Song Ruoxi looked at Zhu Xing and curled up the corners of his lips. "I think Zhu Xing and Qinghe will tell the truth like Luo Yougui's family."

"Yes, girl." Silkworm took a step forward.

"Father, this silkworm girl is also a member of the second sister. She will definitely help her." Song Ruohu shouted anxiously.

"Father, monks do not make any mistakes. Cannibal was influenced by Master Huijin for many years. She is the most fair in her work and will never favor anyone." Song Ruoxi bowed.

Song Sui was still convinced of Huijin's reputation and nodded.

Seeing the silkworm approaching, Zhu Xing's face turned pale and kowtowed, "Master, please spare my life. It was the eldest girl who asked the slave to frame the second girl. The eldest girl wanted to beat the second girl, so Qinghe would hurt the eldest girl's wrist."

Song Ruohu was stunned and the silkworm did nothing. Why did Zhu Xing confess? Could it be that Zhu Xing was bought by Song Ruoxi?

Song Ruoxi blinked, and the shock of the silkworm was too great!

The situation took a sharp turn, and Song Sui was unable to adapt, so he stared at Zhu Xing who was kowtowing.

"I'm just saying that the second girl has always been kind and kind to others, and never argues with others. How could she act like to oppress her elder sister? This is the second girl's innocence!" This is a good opportunity to please her wife. Aunt Mei performed hard, "I'm sorry that our second girl was bullied and it's useless for breakfast. She stood here and listened to the training for a long time. If the wife knew about it, she wouldn't feel sorry for her."

Song Ruoxi looked at the winks of Aunt Mei, knowing that she was crying because of grievance. Unfortunately, the tears were really underdeveloped and could not squeeze out half of the tears. She had to give up, pursed her lips and looked at Song Sui.

"Father, Zhu Xing lied, she was sold by Song Ruoxi. They joined forces to bully their daughter. Father, you must make the decision for your daughter." Song Ruohu knelt on the ground and cried.

Looking at the crying eldest daughter on the ground and the calm second daughter, Song Sui chose to believe in the second daughter this time, snorted coldly, glared at Song Ruohu angrily, and cursed: "You should be confused about your elders, right? As the elder sister, you do not blame yourself. Not only do you do something to frame your sister, but you dare to deceive your father. It's really hateful. Use family law!"

"Father, there is no daughter, there is no daughter. They are they who deceived her father together. Not daughter. The daughter is wronged." Song Ruohu didn't expect that things would turn out like this. She thought that there were only six of them in the car at that time, and both sides were rude. As long as she insisted that Song Ruoxi bullied her, Song Ruoxi would be unreasonable. Even if Song Sui didn't believe it at first and did not punish Song Ruoxi, she would definitely have doubts about Song Ruoxi. As long as she framed her again in the future, she would definitely make Song Ruoxi unlucky. Who knew that Zhu Xing would be so afraid of death and had not used any punishment before she could use the punishment, which caught her off guard.

A sarcastic sneer flashed across Aunt Mei's lips. She would have a stupid girl who had any stupidity. She would be obedient and not do things that harm others. However, stupid people would make trouble, but they would not stop and insist on causing trouble. Now they have shot themselves in the foot!

"The master is busy with official duties, so let me deal with this matter in the back house!" Ji Yun walked in with a solemn expression.

When Song Sui saw Ji Yun, his expression was a little unnatural, and stood up and said, "I will leave this matter to my wife. I still have important things to do."

"Master, go slowly." Ji Yun bowed.

Song Sui left quickly.

Ji Yun's eyes swept across Song Ruohu coldly, scaring her to death, stop crying, collapsed to the ground, and dared not move.

Song Ruohu's pitiful look at this moment was unable to calm Ji Yun's anger, and he gave her merciless punishment. He hit fifty rulers with his left and right hands, was suspended for half a year, and copied the "Women's Commandments", "Women's Books" and "Bomen's Rules" ten times each day.

At this time, Aunt Liu arrived when she heard the news. Before she could plead for her daughter, Ji Yun started to implicate her. Aunt Liu hit thirty rulers with her left and right hands, and was confined to her for three months. She copied the "Women's Commandments", "Women's Books" and "Boenix Rules" ten times each day.

As for Zhu Xing, he beat him twenty boards and demoted him to a maid, and went to the laundry room to wash his clothes.
