Chapter 240 – Disposal by Family Law
As soon as Meng Zhimo mentioned Qu, Duke Cheng’s whimpering became louder.
The old master also sighed and said, ”Some other day you go to your mother’s grave and tell her that we have avenged her. Also burn three incense sticks for me and the old woman for her, we are useless, we didn’t discipline our son well, we didn’t manage this family well, letting her be killed at a young age. And you and maiden Yue, you’ve been wronged in this home.”
Meng Zhimo hurriedly got up and bowed, “Grandfather is overstating things.”
Suddenly, Duke Cheng jumped up at once, rushed to the wall to take down a sword hanging there, and rushed outside.
Shouting loudly, “I want to kill that pair of adulterous couple ……”
The old duke drank, “Stop! You don’t have a brain, you think only the adulterous couple deserves to die? We’ll clean up that bitch first today, then you next.”
Meng Ruyue and Meng Ruyan ran over to hold Duke Cheng in place, and Second Master Meng went over to snatch the sword away.
“Big brother do not be impulsive, listen to father’s arrangement.”
The Elder Duke said to Meng Xiang, “Call up two grannies to escort Fu to Fu An Hall. Then have someone call the oldest two daughters-in-law, the oldest three daughters-in-law, the moon maid, the resigned ink daughter-in-law, and the resigned reading daughter-in-law to go there. Let them see that in the future, their eyes should be opened wider, and they will be able to recognize and discern people……. Uh, resignation ink daughter-in-law this point is well done, smart, recognize people accurate.”
Meng Yu Yu a prostrate on the ground, hugging the legs of the old Duke of the country cried, “Grandfather, in the face of the grandchildren, please give my mother to leave some face it. My mother did not do the right thing, should be punished, just beg you to dispose of it privately.”
Meaning that if you want to kill or repudiate, just deal with it quietly and don’t make a scene.
The old duke said, “You have heard what Fu did. She is lewd and anonymous, deceived her husband, killed Qu, mistreated her stepdaughter, murdered her father in law and stepson in conjunction with an outside man, and set up the entire Meng family in iniquity …… If I send her to the Beijing Zhaofu in a public matter, she will be sentenced to capital punishment. I use the family law to dispose of, already is to give you face. Alas, it is also to save face for my entire Meng family.”
Meng Zhiyu’s hand loosened. He flopped helplessly on the ground, feeling that his entire body had been drained, and he couldn’t even cry. He knew that his mother was finished, not only would she be lifeless, her reputation was also gone ……
The old master lifted his feet and walked outside, Meng Zhimo and the others followed. Duke Cheng only wanted to stab Fu to death with a sword, but he was not willing to punish Fu in front of so many people, his feet stood as if they were rooted and did not move.
The Elder Duke turned around and droned, “Rack them over.”
Meng Zhimo didn’t move, the second old master went over to help the Duke of Cheng to go outside, Meng Zhiye and Meng Zhiyan helped Meng Zhiyu who was lying on the ground to get up.
Jiang Yishi was sitting on the bed waiting with anxiety, not knowing how the interrogation was going over there.
Next to her, Meng Zhaocun was lying on the bed, spitting bubbles at Flora. Flower’s eyes were gentle, meowing to tease her little brother, her voice was so whiny, and she even used her little paw to touch here and there from time to time.
Huang’s mother was so nervous that she was always on the lookout, and if the kitten’s paws were about to reach for her brother’s face or his bare hands and feet, she would reach out and deflect them.
Jiang Yishi had told her that Hua Hua was smart and measured, but she was still nervous and let her be.
At this time, Jiang Yishi saw through the small window that a granny from the outer courtyard hurriedly walked in.
She knew that that venue had ended and another was about to begin.
The granny came in and reported, “Great Grandmother, Old Master Husband asks you to go to Fu An Hall, don’t bring Brother Child.”
The child had reached the end of the month, and if the weather was good, he would go with Jiang Yishi to meet the elders in the afternoon from now on. Mother Huang was a bit puzzled when she heard this special instruction.
Jiang Yishi said, “Something big will happen today.”
With that, she got up nimbly and walked out.
Walking through the Jin Garden, she encountered Second Grandma Meng.
Second Grandma Meng asked suspiciously, “Sister-in-law, is there something going on today, specifically instructing not to bring children.”
Jiang Yishi was not in a good position to say more and laughed, “Perhaps there is something that is not good for the child to see.”
The two of them hadn’t even gotten to Fu An Hall yet, when they saw two grannies from afar holding a woman on a frame walking in the direction of Fu An Hall. The woman being racked is Fu’s, Fu’s angry mouth cursed, “Dog slaves, how dare you do this to me, I want to see the Duke of State …….”
Meng Xiang snorted coldly, “You’re about to meet the Duke of State. I advise you to save your strength and save some face for yourself.”
Fu’s lackeys followed a few over. But after hearing Meng Xiang say that it was an order from the old Duke of State, they guessed that the First Lady had perhaps committed something. To show her so little face, the offense wouldn’t be small. She only dared to ask the two grannies who were holding the First Lady to be gentle and not to make the First Lady sore, but she didn’t dare to get her hands on her to help.
Second Grandma Meng’s mouth was so wide open that she could fit a walnut in it, and she said in shock, “Good heavens, this, this, what’s going on here?”
Jiang Yishi sneered, “It must be that she did something bad and was discovered by the elders.”
Second Lady Meng, Third Lady Meng, and Meng Yue also walked over, watching in surprise as Fu was escorted without dignity through the gates of Fu An Hall.
Meng Yue was surprised and said, “Oh, what’s going on with Mistress?”
Third Madame also said, “So undignified, has sister-in-law committed something unforgivable?”
The second madam had heard the second master say a few words about the master’s dissatisfaction with Fu’s eating out, but knew nothing specific. She said with understanding, “Sister-in-law looks smarter than anyone else, but the things she did are really hard to figure out. This time it’s good, not even a little bit of decency is given to her, perhaps this family won’t even let her stay.”
Fu also saw them and felt that her face was trampled into the mud. She was too embarrassed to shout anymore and “fainted”.
She was scared to death in her heart. Could it be that the old man had discovered that the small stone was poisonous and knew that he had sent it to her? Even if found, she can not admit that she knows that the small stone is poisonous …….
The men hadn’t arrived yet, and Fu was brought in like this, and Fu An Tang’s subordinates all looked at them in surprise. When they entered the east side room of the main house, the old lady’s jaw also dropped in shock.
“What’s going on here?”
Fu’s “sobered up” and cried, “Granny save me, I don’t know what’s wrong …….”
Meng Xiang bowed and cupped his fists and said, “Mrs. Tai, this is the meaning of the old master, they will be here soon.”
Jiang Yishi several masters walked in, the subordinates knew that there were some things not for them to hear, they all stood outside the house.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the old master led several of his children and grandchildren in.
The men’s faces were sunken, especially Duke Cheng, his face and eyes were red.
Fu finally saw Lord Cheng Guo and cried out, “Master, Master, what wrong did I do to be treated like this. I have borne children for you and honored my elders, how can you treat me like this ……”
She tried to break away from her mother-in-law’s hand, but couldn’t, crying her heart out.
When Duke Cheng saw Fu, he was so angry that his blood rushed upwards and went forward to kick at Fu.
Meng Zhimo pulled back at once. With Duke Cheng’s current anger, he would kick her to death. Fu should die, but definitely not in the name of Grand Madam Meng, nor should she die without knowing anything, that would be too cheap for her.
Second shift later.
