The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Chapter 89

When the Zhennan Hou Mansion reached the generation of Qin Shu's biological father, it had already declined.Of course, this kind of decline is relative. In the eyes of those families with real heritage, such a Marquis Mansion whose military power has been taken back is really going downhill.But for those second- and third-rate aristocratic families and the working people at the bottom, the popularity of Zhennanhou Mansion is still very high.However, no matter what, in the past few decades, as the wife of Zhennanhou, Princess Qingling was more "prestige" than Zhennanhou himself.

After marrying the Marquis of Zhennan as she wished, after the days of deep affection and affection, Princess Qingling, after seeing through her husband's love interest, withdrew her gentle and careless disguise, took the whip again, and leaned on her again. The power of her own family has trained Zhennan Hou to be extremely obedient.Although the Marquis of Zhennan has the talent of the number one scholar and his appearance is good, his character is actually very weak. Gradually, not only the affairs of the Marquis of Zhennan's mansion are decided by the Lord Qingling County, but also some old forces left over from the mansion. It became the possession of Qingling County Lord.

After the old Zhennan Hou left, and Emperor Xuanzheng's deliberate suppression, the old gang dispersed a little. When Qingling County Master took power, many people who were dissatisfied with listening to Xipi, a lady, dispersed again. The power of the stocks is not too big, and Qingling County Master has been developing for so many years, and a good army of wolves and tigers has become a group of mobs, and many of them can be bought with money.Later, after the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty was copied, a part of the old department was also left behind. The Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty secretly gave some of them to the daughter of Princess Qingling, and let them hide more—and the latter point is Qingling. The princess doesn't even know.

Princess Qingling always thought that what she received was all the power of the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty, but in fact, she, the most beloved daughter, was severely cheated by her father before his death.It turned out that all along, the hands and feet of the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty were indeed somewhat unclean. Of course, he didn't put all his eggs in the same basket. If he didn't tell the secrets in private, few people would know about them.And the forces he finally handed over to Princess Qingling were the ones who colluded with the barbarians.

That is to say, before his death, the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty divided his power into two strands. The unproblematic part was hidden, and the problematic part was left to Qingling County Lord—this problem is not small, and it is definitely possible. The kind that implicated others in copying their homes.

Why is there such an arrangement? It is because if the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty's mansion is safe and sound, then the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty will be happy to spoil the sons and daughters born to him by his wife, especially the daughter of Princess Qingling. He has always spoiled her. God's.However, once the mansion of the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty fell into a place of eternal doom, especially when the disaster was brought about by his wife and daughter—in fact, a large part of it was also because of the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty’s own ambition—the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty suddenly thought of his family’s inheritance.

Therefore, the Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty, who has always been a model of a new and good man in ancient times, cheated his prostitute before he died. He gave the problematic part of his power to the prostitute to divert the attention of others, and then devoted most of his loyalty to the Western Jin Dynasty. The old part of the Hou Mansion was left to King Zhongxin who was the fourth prince at that time (this shows that the Hou of the Western Jin Dynasty supported the fourth prince in his heart, but unfortunately he died early. He must have never thought that he would kill Emperor Jingde halfway. After the emperor ascended the throne, Zhongxin, as a person with great vision, had already voluntarily handed over this power) in exchange for the glory of his illegitimate son.

That's right, an illegitimate child.

The Marquis of the Western Jin Dynasty who didn't even have a concubine's children was actually not the rumored love saint who devoted himself to his wife.

That is to say, Princess Qingling, who was the mistress all the way to the top, was finally compared to the illegitimate son left by her own father's unknown mistress.Her own father gave up on her just to protect the illegitimate son.

And this illegitimate child has a little relationship with Jia Lin, so I won't mention it here for the time being.

Of course, the former Lord Qingling and now Mrs. Zhennanhou don't know this yet.She thought that what she took over was all her father's power, and with her nature, it was impossible for her to really endure it.These years, she seems to be dormant in her own mansion, and she can't even win over her husband, but in fact, she has merged this power with the legacy of Zhennanhou's mansion, and has not forgotten to profit from it all these years.

What about collusion with barbarians?Mrs. Zhennanhou didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, after all, it was the Dajin Dynasty who was sorry for her mother's family first!As for how many soldiers and common people of the Great Jin Dynasty will die because of this?Please, the lives of those untouchables have nothing to do with her, okay?She doesn't believe in karmic retribution at all, otherwise she wouldn't have planned to attack Princess Min Rou when she was pregnant with her eldest son - she wasn't afraid of giving birth to a monster herself!

Therefore, as soon as Qin Shu's order to go to the northwest came, Mrs. Zhennanhou had already outlined in her heart a hundred ways to die for him. While taking his life, she was also thinking about giving his fame Slandered!

But I didn't believe in retribution before, but it doesn't mean I didn't believe it after being frightened for so many days. Now Mrs. Zhennanhou is going crazy.

The well water in the yard turned red as soon as it was ready, like sticky blood. The next day, a servant salvaged a shoe from it. That's right, it was the one Ying Qu was wearing before he disappeared.The broiler chicken bought by the servant went crazy, pawing at a piece of mud with its paws, and pulled out a section of hair from the mud, which was probably in response to the song.In the firewood room where many beautiful concubines and maidservants died, there were ghosts crying and howling. As a result, that night, the clothes that Ying Qu was wearing when he disappeared were stained with blood and were nailed to the ground... and so on. All in one.All the servants in Zhennan Hou's mansion were panicked.

Moreover, all the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall fell overnight, and when the servants sorted out the next day, they found that there was an extra tablet of the former mistress, Princess Min Rou (there should have been one, but it was burned by Qingling County Master. It was dripping with blood, and the cleaning servant fainted from fright at that time, and went crazy when he woke up.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the people were born at home and signed a death contract, there would probably be no servants in Zhennanhou's mansion.

"No, I don't believe it. Someone must be pretending to be a ghost. They are all dead! I must find out this pretender!" Mrs. Zhennan Hou paced back and forth in the room.There was obvious panic on her face, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, which made her look very stern.

There is a young girl standing beside Mrs. Zhennan Hou, who is her youngest daughter.Xiao Ying comforted her mother very impatiently, saying: "Mother, you just need to rest assured that the second brother will be fine. It's not like you don't know his temper. He has been fond of playing around since the early years... besides, It's been a while since he disappeared, if something happened, it would have happened long ago, so what's the use of worrying? The most urgent thing now is to think about my affairs..."

With a slap, Mrs. Zhennanhou slapped her daughter, and cursed: "That's your second brother!" Among the three children, Mrs. Zhennanhou put the most effort into raising the eldest son. The youngest son is the one he loves the most, but it is the daughter who is by his side the most.This daughter used to make Mrs. Zhennan Hou very proud, because she felt that her daughter followed her style, whether it was appearance or character, it was the same as she was carved out of the same mold.

However, Xiao Ying's fate was not as good as that of his own mother.Her mother was arrogant back then, but there were quite a few people behind her. When she came to Xiao Ying's place, she would be ridiculed even if she went out to socialize normally.The former Qingling County Lord has been able to go smoothly for so many years even if he provoked the big ones, but Xiao Ying has long since lost the capital of pride.

However, the status has changed, but people's thinking has not yet changed.

Xiao Ying covered her face, she couldn't believe that her mother beat her just because of a worthless second brother.She stomped her foot hard and left the room straight away.Mrs. Zhennan Hou didn't have the energy to comfort her daughter for the time being, so she went with her, and only ordered the servant girls around her to follow closely.

When Mrs. Zhennanhou retreated to the inner room of her house, there was a deafening scream in the room.It turned out that all the decorations in her room were stained with blood. The whole room looked terrible, and she was shocked.Indistinctly, the woman's shrill screams mixed with the baby's cries, penetrated into her ears one by one.Mrs. Zhennanhou didn't believe in evil, so she bravely took a step into the house, and saw a person hanged on her beam.I don't know where the wind came from, that person slowly turned his face, Mrs. Zhennanhou subconsciously took a closer look, one foot of that person was bare, but the other foot was wearing a shoe belonging to Yingqu.

Well, Mrs. Zhennanhou, who had been extremely tense all the time, finally passed out.

On the beam, the No. 1 private soldier sent by Emperor Jingde to supply Shui Ying yawned boredly, and asked the expressionless private soldier No. 2, "How long will we continue to play tricks like this?" ? I have a feeling that we are being overqualified."

Number 2 was silent.

No. 1 seemed to be used to No. 2's indifference, so he didn't take it seriously. He took out two steamed buns with white flour from his bosom, and was about to take a bite, but No. 2 had already leaned over his face and snatched away one of the buns.
