Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 1 Forced Marriage!

In the autumn of the 13th year of Qianding, the leaves of Chinese tallow tree were more red than blood, and burned half the sky in Huanhua County.

Night is approaching, and the sun is shining brightly.

The business in Nikou Lane at the east end of the county has just started, and there is a lot of traffic, and the small tavern at the end of the lane amidst the hustle and bustle is full of mess, as if it has just experienced a fierce battle.

Su Rao was cleaning up silently.

The dim light and shadow shrouded her slender back, which was extremely pitiful. Seeing this tragic situation, pedestrians stopped one after another.

"Look, it's been smashed three times in less than half a month. If this continues, the shop will have to close sooner or later."

"Who said it wasn't? The son of County Magistrate Liu's family is really not a thing. It's okay to be arrogant and domineering on weekdays. This time, he actually summoned people to make trouble every day to force a marriage. The father and daughter of the Su family are also unlucky to have such a plague god. "

"Don't mention it. In Liu Tangnian's eighteenth house, there were thirteen or four concubines. This is not counting those old friends who are raised in the fence of the entertainment field. This kind of dirty stuff is really disgusting to pigs and dogs!"

"What's wrong with the dirty stuff? The county magistrate only got a son over fifty years old, and he was spoiled like an eyeball. Don't talk about using these low tricks to force the Su family to marry a daughter, but he really snatched him back. Who Do you still dare to challenge the board?"

"You don't understand that!"

Someone nearby couldn't help interjecting, "It's fine for others, don't forget who her father is!"

"Who?"

"Su Fengyan? That tuberculosis ghost? Most of their hair turned gray when they were less than fifty. Those who knew said they were father and daughter, but those who didn't know thought they were grandparents!"

"Don't look down on him, he used to be a famous man..."

"At the age of 17, he won three yuan, and the first emperor handpicked him as the number one scholar. The next year, he married a daughter of a wealthy family. The youngest minister of the central government, the original title of a prince and a minister is just around the corner, who knows..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and the aftertaste was ecstatic.

"Who knows what? Tell me quickly!"

The sound of urging came one after another, spreading into the hall.

Su Rao lightly placed the last bench with a broken leg, turned around to meet those prying eyes, and said: "Who knows that something happened suddenly in the year of standing, dismissed from office and expelled, so I can only return home to sell wine To make a living, but bullies run rampant, taverns are smashed,..."

"If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

She had a bright smile, and her pearl-like eyes were bent like crescent moons, making her lips redder and teeth whiter, delicate and bright, "Everyone, it's time to leave now."

"Forehead……"

The few people who were discussing turned red from this gaze, smiled awkwardly, and pulled each other away: "That's why, even though her father was dismissed from office, his fame is still there, and the Liu family dare not go too far ..."

The sound fades away.

The wind blows in the dark alley, and the smell of wine floats in the air.

Su Rao slowly withdrew her gaze, smiled slightly, rubbed her fingertips on the rough table and chair beside her that was full of cracks, and sighed softly, as if she came through the cracks of time.

In that year, my father went from being the new favorite of the emperor, a noble relative of the family, to a criminal, a traitor, and a street rat!

Bereavement of wives, death of teachers, and betrayal of relatives!
And she, from a female forensic doctor who was assassinated in the 21st century, became a baby in his arms waiting to be fed. She knew that the kingship was in power, the world was difficult, and she was trying to live in peace.

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate Liu's family abused their power and refused to let her go, and tried to force her to marry by force!

From this point of view, the tavern cannot be kept.

She still needs to discuss it with her father, so she should make a plan early.

Su Rao tidied up the shop and was about to close it. Just as she stood up, a shriveled and skinny figure suddenly bumped into her eyes. The setting sun was covering him like blood. He was dressed in a dark blue coarse cloth robe, making her look extremely gloomy.

"The old man wants to see you, come with me!"

this sound...

Does it sound familiar?

Su Rao narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked him up and down, until the corner of her eyes flickered over the plaque hanging on his waist, and she froze immediately.

She remembered!
That year, my father had just returned to Huanhua County with her in her arms, but was blocked by the servants in the heavy snow.

The harsh words were cut into fragments and blurred by the cold wind, only one clear and vicious sentence - Su Fengyan, why do you still have the face to live, why don't you die in the capital!

it's him!
Zhou Zhong, the steward of the Su Mansion!
More than ten years later, his stature is rickety and old, but his voice is still sharp and full of needles, as if a very strong hatred is brewing, coming out of his bones.

hatred?
Su Rao closed her eyes and laughed, the person she should hate the most is her father, but it is meaningless to say these things now, she said softly: "Our father and daughter have long since broken up with the Su family, if the guest officer comes to buy wine, I will Welcome, if it's anything else...then it's better to leave!"

She walked past this person to the door and made a "please" gesture with a smile.

The action is extremely crisp.

"Is this what your father meant too?"

Zhou Zhong didn't move an inch, stared at her, and said in a low voice, "Su Rao, you have to think clearly before answering, you only have one chance, are you sure that your father really wants to go to the point where you can't see each other until you die? "

Su Rao's smile froze.

Others don't know, but she knows that although Dad doesn't care, how many times in the dead of night, he often caresses the nameplate that symbolizes his status and sighs.

It is his wish to return the fallen leaves to their roots...

Su Rao's mind was full of thoughts, and it was inevitable to struggle. Zhou Zhong didn't rush when he saw this, and patiently waited for her reply, looking confident.

After a short silence.

She closed her eyes to hide the strange color in her eyes, then raised her head with her usual smile, "Just go, I also want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd!"

Close the shop.

The two walked through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped in front of a big house in the north of the city.

The house has white walls and black eaves, and a plaque hangs high on the vermilion gatehouse, with the word "Su Mansion" written on it. Step in.

Inside Minghua Hall.

Zhou Zhong bowed and said, "Old man, someone brought it here." After finishing speaking, he moved to the side wisely, and remained silent.

The originally noisy hall became strangely quiet because of this sentence, and everyone looked sideways, and when they saw the woman in the glow, walking slowly, they couldn't hide the astonishment in their eyes.

Her black hair is like ink, her vermilion lips are full of dandelion, and her pair of phoenix eyes are slightly raised, which is full of thousands of styles. Even the coarse cloth dress can't suppress the color, which is even more refined.

No wonder the county magistrate was fascinated!
What a disaster!

While sizing up, Su Rao also took in all the expressions of the crowd, a sarcasm flashed across her warm and smiling eyes, and she looked directly over them at the old man sitting in the main seat.

This person is dressed in a purple gown with the pattern of clouds and double cranes. His hair and beard are all white and combed meticulously. He is the patriarch of the Su family's generation, her nominal grandfather, Suqian!

"You're the little girl that my second child brought back? What's your name? Ah Rao?"

Su Rao felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard this address, she was still smiling but her words were very distant and polite: "Little girl is blessed, I can't be called 'A Rao' by the old man, you should speak directly."

When the sound fell, everyone was in an uproar.

A yellow-haired girl, how dare she refute the face of her ancestors!

Zhou Zhong's face became even more gloomy on the spot, and he shouted: "Calling you 'A Rao' means that the Patriarch is flattering you. What kind of attitude do you have? Sure enough, there are mothers without mothers, after all, they are unworthy things!"

These words can be described as cruel.

Everyone exchanged glances and didn't stop them. They looked at the scene in front of them with great interest. The daughter's family is thin-skinned. How can she bear such humiliation?

cry!

Only when you cry can you remember your lesson and your identity!
They thought so.

But seeing the woman's complexion unchanged, she squinted at Zhou Zhong, and there was an imperceptible coldness in her soft and gentle voice, "The Su family's poems and books have been handed down from generation to generation. How dare everything bark and bark in front of distinguished guests, it seems that it is about to fall!"

These words ridiculed everyone present.

"Bitch, who are you talking about..."

Zhou Zhong was furious and rushed forward.

"Azhong!"

Suqian, who was watching coldly, finally spoke out. Zhou Zhong froze when he heard the words, and looked back at his master. Thinking of the purpose of looking for her, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, wiped the coldness from his downcast eyes, and turned back to his own. Location.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"It's really..."

Suqian shook his head and smiled lightly, broke the silence, looked at Surao and sighed: "Your temperament is exactly the same as your father's, also stubborn and unyielding, and you don't bother to deal with the slightest scene, just stay at home, and you will inevitably suffer some hardships when you go out in the future .”

After all, it was the old fox, who spoke with a level of praise and criticism in secret.

A look of sarcasm flashed across Su Rao's eyes, but she didn't answer.

For a moment.

Suqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to himself: "I heard about the smashing of the tavern, and it's not a solution to hold on. We old guys discussed it and decided to let you and your father move back live."

"Not only that, but he can also worship the ancestral temple, return to his family, and be buried in the clan's land after a hundred years to receive incense from future generations."

His voice was as light as clouds and mist, as if he was saying that the weather is good today.

Su Rao knows that now is the time to get to the point.

She was neither surprised nor delighted as everyone expected, and asked with a calm smile, "Why?"

"what why?"

Suqian frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with this reaction: "He is my son, you are my granddaughter! Flesh and blood relatives, family happiness, what reason can there be?"

is it?

Su Rao didn't answer, just stared at him.

Obviously, she was not satisfied with this answer.

Suqian has been in the top position for a long time, and has always said one thing, when does he need to explain to others?I said a few more words today for the first time, who knows that the person in front of me doesn't know good from bad!
His patience was exhausted, and he couldn't help sullen.

"What? Do you think I'm discussing with you? You don't need to know the reason for the elder's decision, just follow it."

"As for the luggage, you don't need to worry about it. I will send someone to pick it up."

With the final word, the voice cannot be doubted.

"You want to put me under house arrest?"

Su Rao's smile gradually faded, and the fingers in her sleeves curled up slightly, and she squeezed them tightly!
In the past, they threw away their father and daughter, but now they want to, give them an order and point them to be grateful, smell the smell and obediently go back, if they don't agree, they will tear off the hypocrisy and show their fangs , This is flesh and blood, this is blood relatives!
What is the difference between them and the rascals of the Liu family!
How dare he bully her so far!

Facing this question, Suqian's tone was calm, "A family must always live together, so as not to be criticized by outsiders."

Is this an admission in disguise?
Su Rao asked directly: "You first seduced me with my father, and then forced me to move into Su's house by force, what exactly do you want to do, you might as well make it clear!"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Seeing that his face was torn, Suqian simply broke the jar and said, "Forget it, since we've covered this point, there's no need to hide it."

"Listen up, Su Rao, Mr. Liu is willing to accept you as a noble concubine. The mansion has already accepted the dowry, and the wedding date is set in seven days. During this time, you don't want to go anywhere, just stay in the mansion and wait for your marriage at ease!"
