She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

Chapter 44
Fu Jiao doesn't take Aunt Chen seriously.

She was about to go back Yin Yang, but Fu Rudi was the first to speak and said calmly: "Auntie doesn't need to worry about this matter. Fourth sister will come back whenever she wants."

"I, I am doing this for your own good."

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "Rudi, you are busy with things all day long, Jiaojiao always needs someone to look after her."

"Aunt Chen, I'm so old. I'm not a three-year-old baby. Why should I take care of you?" Fu Jiao didn't give her any face. She looked her up and down with contempt, "But you, with your skinny cheeks and sunken cheeks, can't even hold on to your flesh. Eat more to replenish your skin, the talcum powder is stuck in the wrinkles, I feel really distressed."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen lowered her head in embarrassment.

She took out the bronze mirror she carried with her and used the candlelight to carefully retouch her makeup while peeking at Fu Zhenqing not far away.

All in all, Fu Zhenqing hasn't been to her yard for a long time.I dressed up tonight just to get Fu Zhenqing's favor.But when Fu Jiao was told in public, her self-confidence instantly turned into inferiority complex.

Make up for it... put it lightly.

A few days ago, she wanted the kitchen to stew some snow clams and bird's nests, but the people in the kitchen refused in every possible way. The mistress was tight on her monthly money, and it was extremely difficult to eat something good.

Aunt Chen was angry, but she didn't dare to get angry at Mrs. Xie, so she could only glare at Fu Jiao and said coldly: "Jiaojiao, you should go and feel sorry for others."

"That's true." Fu Jiao smiled, "There are many people who feel sorry for Aunt Chen, including the second brother and the third sister. It's not my turn yet."

Aunt Chen was so angry that she said, "Haha."

Fu Yan and Fu Changjian were both born to the Xie family, so it’s no wonder they feel sorry for her!
Seeing that she was mentioned, Fu Yan, who had always hated Fu Jiao, couldn't sit still. She put down her chopsticks and curled up her lips: "After not seeing her for many days, the fourth sister has become more and more eloquent."

"If you don't know how to speak outside, you may suffer more than what you suffer at home."

In my memory, the stupid original owner was often teased by Fu Yan, and Fu Yan was often so angry that she hid under the quilt and cried.Now it was Fu Jiao, and she was fighting back in different ways.

Fu Yan is not a vegetarian either.

She reacted immediately and asked: "Fourth sister, what you said is unacceptable. What does it mean to suffer more than the family? Do you feel that the family has treated you badly?"

Ordinary people would definitely retort and maintain the surface calm.

But not Fu Jiao.

She was rebellious and had a cruel mouth. She said whatever came to her mind, "Of course. They accused me of poisoning the maid before. I was kidnapped and no one cared about me. I don't have enough food and clothing to keep me warm every day. What else is wrong treatment?" "As she spoke, Fu Jiao let out a long sigh, "Hey! They say my family is good. If it's really so good, why do you have to force me to live in the government office?"

With one word, the illusion of harmony was shattered.

Fu Yan froze.

Fu Zhenqing and Mr. Xie's faces turned pale, and everyone at the table was silent.

But Fu Jiao was not afraid of death, and even poked Aunt Chen with her hand, "Aunt Chen, do you think so?"

Aunt Chen: "..."

Thank you, don't involve her now.

"Fu Jiao!"

Fu Zhenqing slapped the table and all the bowls on the table jumped.

He blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "You are getting more and more outrageous! I asked you to come back to eat, not to quarrel."

Fu Jiao spread her hands and said innocently: "I didn't quarrel either. I kept talking nicely."

"Have you ever said anything nice like this? It's so sinister and disgusting!"

Fu Changjian also pointed at her and scolded her.

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Just in time, Ms. Xie finally stood up.She showed a kind and kind smile to Fu Jiao, "Okay, Jiaojiao, don't get angry with your father's second brother. It's because your mother was wrong and didn't take enough care of you when you were a child, so you have such a prejudice. Mother will give you today Apologize properly.”

"How unbecoming!" Fu Changjian stomped his feet angrily, "How can a mistress of the house apologize to a concubine? Is that right?"

Xie's face darkened, "Changjian, shut up."

She stood up, picked up the tea cup in front of her, and said to Fu Jiao: "My mother didn't investigate carefully before and wrongly accused you and Hongyue. My mother formally apologizes to you. Today I'm having tea instead of wine. I hope Jiaojiao forgives me." .”

Fu Zhenqing stared at Fu Jiao closely. If she dared to speak rudely again, he would never spare her.

Fortunately, Fu Jiao did not continue to intensify the conflict.

She laughed innocently, raised the tea cup in front of her, and said: "Yes, mother and daughter have no overnight feud. I accept mother's apology. Mother should pay attention next time, if this happens again. You must ask your brother to investigate the matter carefully, and don’t stick to your own opinions and conclude the coffin, and unjustly accuse good people."

Xie's smile was almost as stiff as a mask.

She drank the hot tea mechanically, feeling bitter all the way to her stomach, "Okay, okay, mother will remember it."

Mrs. Xie sat back down, and Fu Yan and Fu Changjian next to her were stunned.

Fu Yan tugged on Mr. Xie's sleeves, her eyes rolled around anxiously, and she lowered her voice to the lowest point and asked quietly: "Mother! Why are you doing this?!"

"do not talk."

Fu Jiao also secretly admired Mr. Xie for doing this.

The more she behaves like this, the more Fu Jiao becomes wary.

Today, Fu Rudi is here. If she insists on this issue, it will make things difficult for him.Looking at the overall situation of the Fu family, Fu Jiao had already thought of a revenge plan. She finished her tea and continued to eat happily, like a normal person.

In the eyes of others, I really don’t know whether I am big-hearted or hard-hearted.

Fu Zhenqing shook his head and sighed.

I feel like the food on the table in front of me no longer tastes good.

He wanted to discipline Fu Jiao, but Fu Rudi was sitting next to him. Seeing this posture, he wanted to protect Fu Jiao to the end.

He hadn't seen his eldest son for a long time, and since he was holding a banquet tonight, he really wanted to have a homely meal with him.As for this disobedient concubine...that's all, let her do whatever she likes.

"Rudy, eat more."

Fu Zhenqing turned to pick food for Fu Rudi, "I remember that you loved vinegar fish the most when you were a child. The chef specially invited from Jiangnan, you will like it if you try it."

"Thank you father."

Fu Rudi ate a piece of fish, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.He seemed unintentional and said in a voice that only Fu Zhenqing could hear: "Father, it's not that I like vinegar fish, but that mother does."

Fu Zhenqing paused while picking up vegetables.

He knew that the "mother" Fu Rudi mentioned was not the current mistress Xie.

"...Are you still blaming me for this?"

Fu Zhenqing's tone was complicated.

"How could that be?" Fu Rudi smiled and continued to pick the vinegar fish in front of his chopsticks, "It's been so many years, I've long since let go."

"It's good if you think so."

Fu Zhenqing's expression relaxed and he said nothing more.

He has always doted on Fu Rudi, not only because he was his best child, but he also owed him too much.

I owe him, I owe his mother.

Fu Zhenqing understood why Fu Rudi didn't want to stay at home, and also understood why Fu Rudi wanted to protect Fu Jiao.Probably, they all had a familiar childhood.

*
A family dinner ended in silence.

After Fu Jiao had eaten and drank enough, she and Fu Rudi returned home.

Before leaving, Fu Jiao suddenly said she had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, and asked Fu Rudi to wait for her in the flower hall.Fu Rudi didn't think much and told her to go back quickly.

Fu's house is not big.When she entered the house, Fu Jiao discovered that the Fu family had no sunlight all year round and no dirt was attracted to them. This was largely due to the influence of Fu Rudi, a person with the crape myrtle zodiac sign.Now that she and Fu Rudi don't live here, Fu Jiao is going to give some big gifts to the Fu family.

She shook off the maid who was leading the way, followed the route in her memory, touched several people's yards, rubbed her hands, and started to show off her skills.

The mistress, Mrs. Xie, was sanctimonious and she was often treated harshly when she was a child.

There was a maid guarding the outside of her yard, and Fu Jiao couldn't get in. When she saw a pot of dwarf osmanthus tree placed under the fence, she had an idea and moved the dwarf osmanthus tree from the left to the right.

The wall on the right is the white tiger square. When the white tiger square moves, people's hearts will gather together, and they will inevitably become restless and impatient, which is enough for her to eat a pot.

Fu Jiao came to Fu Changjian's yard next door again.

No wonder Fu Changjian is so cheap.

His courtyard is a three-sided courtyard with a dragon guarding it. The gate opens next to the tiger. Next door is the high wall of Mistress Xie, forming a white tiger with its head raised.

As a result, the people living here are naturally vicious and evil.

She could tell at a glance that Fu Changjian had taken a life, so she didn't mind letting Fu Changjian see the souls of those who died at his hands again.

"Yanji, I leave it to you."

Yanji was not happy to learn that the mission was to intimidate Fu Changjian.

She laid out the conditions, "I want Song Lang."

Fu Jiao waved her hand and sold Zhao Hao directly, "Be good, scare Fu Changjian out, and I'll let Song Lang sleep with you."

Yan Ji snorted and floated into Fu Changjian's yard.

Fu Changjian has been solved, and Fu Yan has to make arrangements.He didn't know how he provoked this eldest lady and had to bully the original owner, so Fu Jiao simply vented her anger for her.

There are more slaves in Fu Yan's yard than in Xie's yard.

Fu Jiao turned around and moved a stone bench outside her courtyard to the corner beside the tiger.

Beside the tiger, the innate Bagua is Li Gua, which is Fire.If fire attacks the body, the slave will bully the master, and the guest will bully the master.In this way, Fu Yan's yard will become lively.

Aunt Chen didn't know whether she was mean or stupid, so Fu Jiao followed the principle of retribution, so she covered a few weeds with black nets and threw them all on Aunt Chen's roof.As for the other Aunt Lu, in my memory, Aunt Lu didn't like to cause trouble, and she couldn't say good things to her, nor could she be said to be bad. In addition, Aunt Lu didn't speak at all during the dinner, and she did her job honestly, so Fu Jiao let her go. .

Fu Jiao originally wanted to take care of Fu Zhenqing, but she was afraid that Fu Rudi would wait too long, so she had to rush over.

Doing so many things in a short period of time was very tiring for her.

I couldn't even breathe when I spoke, "Brother, I'm back. Let's go."

"Why did it take so long?"

Fu Rudi frowned.

If Fu Jiao didn't come out again, he was going to look for her himself.

Fu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly, "I ate too much tonight."

Fu Rudi couldn't ask about these matters in detail. Seeing that she had nothing to do, he said goodbye to Fu Zhenqing and took Fu Jiao back to the government office.

As soon as she entered the carriage, Fu Jiao felt happy when she thought about how she had just ruined the Fu family's feng shui. She couldn't help but hold her chin and hum a song.

Fu Rudi thought she was angry at Fu's house today, but he never thought she was quite happy.

"Is dinner that delicious?"

"Just average." Fu Jiao's thoughtful words came out of her mouth, "It's not as good as the cornbread that my brother handed to me with his own hands."

Fu Rudi couldn't help but smile when he thought of the hard days of wandering on the road.

Only Fu Jiao is willing to enjoy the hardships and share the same boat with him.

"By the way, Si Nan just met with the No. 1 arrester in Beijing. He said that the identities of the two people who kidnapped you have been identified."

"who is it?"

Fu Rudi said: "One is named Liang Bing and the other is Gong Hongfeng. Gong Hongfeng used to be a water bandit in the Cao Gang. Later, he offended the leader and was kicked out. Now he is a desperado wandering the market. As long as he is willing to give money, he will kill people and steal goods. He committed crimes, kidnapping and extortion. The cause of Gong Hongfeng's death was very strange. After repeated inspections, he found that his neck was bent backwards, as if someone had broken it violently. No one except a martial arts master could do such a powerful move. Do it.”

"……Is it?"

Gong Hongfeng was killed by Yan Ji.

Fu Jiao didn't know whether she should confess to Fu Rudi.

She thought for a while, maybe now is not the time to confess, telling the story about Yan Ji might scare Fu Rudi.

"Did you see anyone else that day? Did he save you?"

"I don't know." Fu Jiao pretended to be crazy, "I fainted."

This incident had a psychological shadow on Fu Jiao, and Fu Rudi didn't want to mention it more to irritate her.Just talking about the other Liang Bing, his expression became more and more solemn.

"The cause of Liang Bing's death is even more strange."

"How?"

"The four men took turns performing autopsies. Liang Bing was in good health without any internal or external injuries. He seemed to have died suddenly and inexplicably while he was walking." Fu Rudi was silent for a moment, and then said, "Liang Bing's ancestral home is Yunzhou. Apart from that, the others Nothing is clear.”

Fu Jiao carefully recalled the circumstances of her kidnapping that night.

Gong Hongfeng was killed by Yan Ji, who she had found with her help, and Liang Bing seemed to have someone calling his name in the dark place behind. Liang Bing agreed with a "Hey" and then fell to the ground and died.

This is a bit like the long-lost technique of "calling Mao for life".

Call a person's soul, and if that person agrees, he is willing to sacrifice his life.

In short, someone used Liang Bing's life to replace the life of a damned person.These two people must have the same horoscope, one in life and one in life, and they are very vicious.

Fu Jiao thought for a moment, and then told Fu Rudi the speculation in her heart.

Fu Rudi has experienced so much, so he naturally believes it.

"Are you sure someone used the shouting technique?"

"Not sure, just a suspicion." Fu Jiao thought of the skulls of the missing children in Yunzhou, and she had an idea, "Could such a vicious Taoist technique be related to Danyang Taoist? Liang Bing is from Yunzhou, and those skulls are also In Yunzhou...Brother, do you think there is a connection between the two?"

Fu Rudi thought for a long time.

As the carriage stopped at the government office, he did not stop thinking.

Fu Jiao didn't bother him and waited quietly.

After a long while, Fu Rudi said: "It seems that I have to go to Yunzhou."

"Going again?"

Fu Rudi informed Emperor Jianming and King Guangping of their ideas.

Emperor Jianming asked him to capture Yao Dao as quickly as possible, while King Guangping was worried about his younger brother, King Chengnan, and eagerly hoped that Fu Rudi would bring Yao Dao to justice.

"This time you don't have to go out with me and get in trouble. Just stay in the capital."

"I do not!!!"

Fu Jiao refused.

Her clear eyes revealed an irresistible determination. She raised her hand to grab Fu Rudi's arm and held on tightly, "Where is my brother? I am there."
