MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 144
I don't know when it started, a rumor spread in the circle of Beijing and Chinese officials and female relatives.
It is said that Princess Wei had married someone before she married King Wei, and her husband's family is the current servant of the Ministry of Punishment.
It is said that when King Wei went south on business, he visited the Sun family and fell in love with the fourth grandma of the Sun family at first sight. Later, the fourth grandma of the Sun family reconciled with her husband and became Princess Wei within two years.
When this rumor first started to spread, everyone was very taboo, but occasionally two good friends would say a few words in private, and everyone couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so naturally they didn't dare to spread it indiscriminately.
I don't know who mentioned Wei Wangfei's natal family, and gradually more and more people talked about it.
Princess Wei's origin is a mystery. Many people in Beijing don't know which family the Fang family is. Later, they heard that the Fang family was a farming and studying family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but no one paid much attention to it.
After all, the person who married her was the King of Wei. Even if Princess Wei's background was not obvious, it had nothing to do with everyone. The one who lost was the King of Wei anyway. And because of the first few years of King Wei's wedding, the husband and wife kept a low profile, and very few people went to inquire about it. But those who know it are extremely taboo, let alone mention it to outsiders.
Being mentioned at this time seems to be an introduction to contrasting rumors.
Some people say that the Fang family is from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, while others say that Sun Shilang was the magistrate in Shaoxing before he was transferred to the capital. Gradually, "informed sources" from Shaoxing revealed that the Sun family was indeed married to the Fang family at that time. The Fang family was a big family in Shaoxing and a famous family of masters.
It is also said that this marriage aroused a lot of discussion back then, and it was actually Xiaozhong who got married. It is reported that the mistress of the Fang family died of illness. Master Fang couldn't bear to delay his daughter, so he married his daughter within a hundred days.
These rumors came together and caused an uproar.
The prince actually married a remarried woman, and the woman hooked up with her before they divorced.
In fact, thinking about it, why did the Sun family let their daughter-in-law reconcile for no reason? It must be known that the woman and the man reconcile, and it will hurt the man's face. After all, even if the husband and wife don't want to be together, they only need a letter of divorce.
Thinking about it this way, King Wei played a big role in it. It was obvious that King Wei took a fancy to the daughter-in-law of the Sun family. The Sun family did not dare to offend King Wei, so they simply let their son and daughter-in-law reconcile.
All of a sudden, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and it became the king of Wei who took his wife by force.
Rumors have always spread to the end, and the parties are the last to know.
Sun Qinghua only felt that those colleagues were looking at him strangely recently, while the female family members of the Sun family went out to socialize, and found that many people were strange, and they often talked together when they saw them, and immediately shut up.
Mrs. Song, her sister-in-law Huang and Mrs. Sun thought that they had offended someone, and they were afraid that the Wei Palace's revenge would come, so they were very disturbed. Later, it was Sun Qinghua who couldn't hold back and asked a subordinate. The other party hesitated at first, but he forced him to explain the whole story.
After listening to it, Sun Qinghua's face turned pale, and he felt dizzy, and the other party said something comfortingly, in fact, they were not to blame for this matter.
It's not that the king of Wei bullied others!
The other party didn't say the latter sentence, but Sun Qinghua made it up by himself.
He immediately returned to the Sun Mansion and asked the people below to inquire about the news.
The rest of the Sun family came here after hearing the news, and after hearing this, they also ran into panic.
In the end, the news that was inquired was exactly the same as what Sun Qinghua's subordinate said, even worse than that. Sun Qinghua immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, shouted, "God is going to kill my Sun's family", and fell into the chair.
That's right, this kind of thing must not have been spread by the Wei Palace, everyone knows it is a scandal, and no one will cover it up. That's why Sun Qinghua was not too worried about Wei Wangfu's retaliation. This kind of thing would be ugly, even if Wei Wang wanted to take revenge, he would not make a big show of it.
Since it wasn't from the Wei Palace, it was naturally from the Sun family.
After all, the current trend of the rumors outside is overwhelmingly in favor of the Sun family, and Wei Wang has become a force to grab a wife.
If the other party was an unknown person, or even an honorable official, Sun Qinghua would not be so afraid. At worst, the lawsuit would go to Yuqian, and there would always be a place for reasoning in the world.
But it just so happens that the other party is a prince, a prince, and the most powerful king of Wei among the princes. In the past, there was the noble concubine Li Huang who favored the Sixth Palace, and King Wei might be the future heir. Now that Princess Wei has caused such a scandal, it has also involved King Wei. It’s not that the Sun family is going to die, what else can it be!
This time, the Sun family did not offend only one person, not only Wei Wangfu, but also a royal concubine Lihuang, who might even offend Emperor Jianping.
It's nothing for the royal family to cause some appalling scandals, the whole world belongs to them, as long as they don't make trouble in the open. Now everyone knows that this is a slap in the face of Emperor Jianping. The imperial decree for the marriage to King Wei was issued by Emperor Jianping himself.
Seeing that Sun Qinghua had become like this, Mrs. Sun also fainted from panic, and the Sun family was in chaos.
Someone called to invite a doctor, but Sun Qinghua, who came back to his senses, stopped him.
"You can't ask for a doctor!"
Song cried: "But master, you have become like this, and the old lady has also fainted. How can you do it without a doctor?"
Sun Qinghua sat up straight with support, touched the blood on the corner of his lips casually, and directed: "Go and get the pills that mother usually takes, feed one in first, and then pinch the person to see if he can wake up. At this time, others are staring at the mansion, and if there is a trouble about inviting a doctor, I don’t know what will be spread outside. Hurry up, wake up the mother first, and then talk about it.”
Immediately, everyone had an order. First, the old lady was helped to lie down. The maids and women came in and out, serving hot water, tea and medicine.
Panting for breath, Mrs. Sun woke up leisurely, and the first thing she said was that she couldn't ask the doctor. The Sun family is now only used by Sun Qinghua and Mrs. Sun, and the others panic when they see this.
"mother!"
Sun Qinghua's mother-in-law screamed like a mourning concubine. The old lady saw her son's head was gray and dispirited like this, and then she thought about the family's experience in the past few years, thinking about the useless eldest son, and thinking about the family being supported by the second son. Yes, and thinking about the fourth grandson who went away and never came back, he also burst into tears.
After crying, the old lady tried to sit up.
"Don't panic, the more you can't panic at this time, you have to think about it, maybe things haven't gone so bad yet."
Can you think of any ideas?
The only extravagant hope is that King Wei, Imperial Concubine Li, and even Emperor Jianping will not be furious, and even if they want to punish the culprit, they will be a little scrupulous, so that the Sun family can survive.
But even if this is the case, the good times of the Sun family are coming to an end, and they will definitely live in fear in the future, and there is no need to think about the future of the children in the family.
"Anyway, don't panic at a time like this, it's over!" The old lady patted the bedpost and said.
At critical times, the old lady is still reliable, or how can an old lady be like a treasure in a family.
"Go and find out! Go and find out! Who spread the rumors! It's so detailed, even if outsiders know that Fang and Sun's family were married, it's impossible to know that King Wei lived in Sun's house and even flirted with that woman Having been involved in such an event, it could only be someone from the mansion, or someone related to the mansion." Sun Qingbin, the elder of the Fang family, jumped on his feet.
At the critical moment, this old man who only knows how to eat, drink and play also played a role.
The old lady hurriedly ordered people to investigate, and Sun Qinghua cheered up and ordered his followers to investigate. Whether the old lady is a female family member, the investigation can only be carried out inside the mansion, and it is still his people outside.
Just like this for two full days, the mansion first screened those who knew about it back then, and at the same time, Sun Qinghua outside did not let it go. In order to avoid falling into the public scrutiny, he had to go to court for the past two days, which can be described as physically and mentally exhausted.
It was soon found out, and it turned out that it pointed to the accompanying room next to Mrs. Huang, who was also her confidant Tian Mama.
When Feng Sheng left after leaving, the Sun family released a group of people one after another in order to avoid spreading shame. Until Feng Sheng became the concubine of Wei, the Sun family was afraid of causing trouble, so they screened out those who knew about it at the beginning. This trip to the capital, in order to reduce the burden, also bought a small house, and left a group of people in Shaoxing, so this area is very good for screening.
Then they found out about this mother surnamed Tian.
It wasn't her who spoke out, but her useless son.
The Song family was not favored by the old lady, on the contrary, the Huang family was more face-to-face, and the second child had a future, and the eldest was useless, so the old lady wanted to subsidize the big house more, so the Huang family took care of Zhongfei.
And the one named Tian San, relying on his mother being the face of the eldest wife, has been working in the Sun's house, and even worked as a small manager.
This Tian San has always had a habit of gambling, and he didn't change it when he came to the capital. He made a group of cronies, all of whom were street ruffians.
This is what he said once he was drunk.
After he said it, the kid forgot about it. This time the mansion investigated this matter. Originally, if he had been calmer, he would not have found him, but seeing that the mansion was facing an enemy, he felt guilty, so he Accidentally missed the bottom.
All in all, no matter whether it was because of him or not, this matter is now on his head.
Now that the matter has come to an end, the rumors outside have spread like that, and it is impossible to find out where the source is, and who is behind it.
Someone must have contributed to the flames. After calming down, Sun Qinghua also thought about it, but it was too late to say anything now. The current Sun family is like that Tian San, it's either **** or shit.
The old lady asked Song to go to Wei Wangfu to plead guilty.
In fact, it should be Sun Qinghua who went, but Sun Qinghua is a man after all, and now Wei Wang is not in Beijing, Wei Wangfei is a woman, and women can talk to each other.
Song's heart is ten thousand unwilling, but the catastrophe is imminent, and she can't be unwilling.
During the period, the old lady changed her mind again, and she didn't like Song's clumsy tongue, so she planned to go there in person.
No matter how embarrassing it is, now that catastrophe is imminent, she said this to Mrs. Song, and now she applies it to herself. And even if you go, you may not be able to settle the matter, but you just want to make up for it.
Regardless of the later results, they must at least show their attitude. This matter was not passed down by the Sun family, and they suffered innocently. I only hope that Princess Wei doesn't know about this matter yet, and they can plead guilty in advance, and they can also please some favors, so that the other party will not kill him afterwards.
It's a pity that they were thinking a little too naively, how could Feng Sheng not know about the rumors in Beijing?
But what she knew was only a few days earlier than the Sun family, and it was also a 'scandalous matter' related to her. The news about Wei Wangfu's residence in Beijing was well-informed, but the people below did not dare to report it.
Now that King Wei is not here, who knows if Princess Wei will be annoyed by such a scandal. Just because of the thoughtfulness of the people below, it was delayed.
In fact, even if there is no delay, things cannot be stopped. Spreading rumors is always much faster than eliminating rumors.
After Zuo Yi knew about it, he lost his temper and didn't mention it. He still reported this matter to Feng Sheng.
After Feng Sheng found out, she was both ashamed and angry, but in the end it all turned into worry.
Of course she is not stupid, she can see that someone is pushing the flames, and the purpose of the person pushing the flames is very clear, and they are going to the king of Wei.
Now because of her, King Wei was involved, most of the key rumors were true, she was also extremely powerless for a while, feeling unable to do anything.
Zuo Yi proposed various remedies, but Feng Sheng refuted them.
Without him, it's just trying to cover up.
At this time, no matter what Wei Wangfu explained, it was useless, but it was in the opponent's arms.
The darker and darker it is, it is the current situation.
Since you can't explain it, you can only pretend nothing happened. During this period, Feng Sheng hesitated again and again, but still went to the palace, and told the matter to Concubine Li Huang.
Imperial Concubine Li also heard about this matter, and she knew about it not a few days earlier than Feng Sheng, the reason was the same as Feng Sheng, the people below would not dare to mention it in front of her even if they heard about it.
Imperial Concubine Li didn't know that Feng Sheng was remarried. At the beginning, Wei Wang didn't mention it because he was afraid of unforeseen problems.
Now that Imperial Concubine Li knew about it, she felt the anger of being deceived first.
Of course, this anger was not aimed at Feng Sheng, except because of the purpose behind these rumors, and Wei Wang's concealment, etc. All in all, it was very complicated.
But when she calmed down, she couldn't help thinking about what happened after Feng Sheng entered the door.
Over the years, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not fake. Feng Sheng would visit her in the palace from time to time and advise her. When Mrs. Chen made a fuss back then, she couldn't come forward, and Feng Sheng resolved it all by herself.
And Feng Sheng gave her two healthy and lovely grandchildren.
None of this is fake!
After thinking about it this way, Imperial Concubine Li became angry again.
So when Feng Sheng came into the palace, he thought he was facing the wrath of Imperial Concubine Li, but unexpectedly she patted her hand and smiled helplessly.
"If you stand tall, you will inevitably face more things than others. The people below are staring at you, trying to find your faults. If you lose first at this time, then you have really lost." Li Huangguifei It is very empathetic.
