Chapter 711 The Mistress Who Was Splashed with Dirty Water 8
Zheng Jiayu asked Wang to stay at home. After recuperating for two days, he left Zhengjia Bay and quietly went to Tongjia Bay in disguise.
He was about to inquire about the Tong family's affairs, but just as he left, a group of thugs broke into his house. They broke in at night and smashed the house to pieces.
Wang heard the noise at night and rushed out to stop it, but was kicked twice and started crying. Several neighbors next door heard something was wrong.
I thought that the mother and son next door were quarreling over the imperial examination. After all, people's temperaments will always become more irritable after suffering a heavy blow, so I didn't pay any attention to it.
Only after those people smashed the house and looted the valuables did they climb over the wall and leave. Wang cried and shouted for a long time, but no one came to help.
He could only endure the pain and stand up to knock on his neighbor's door. Only then did the neighbors on both sides realize that their house had been robbed.
When I asked Zheng Jiayu, I found out that her son had gone out for something.
The next morning, Wang went to report to the authorities. The officials came to take a look but found nothing. It was pitch dark last night as well.
Wang didn't know who those people were, because her family used to have a scholar, and those ruffians generally didn't dare to mess with people with honors.
He hardly came near, so Wang really couldn't tell who it was for a moment.
In the end, the government only said that they would investigate the matter, but no one knew whether they could find out the truth or not.
Zheng Jiayu didn't know what had happened at home, so he found out at Tongjiawan.
The daughter of the Tong family went to the temple to pray for blessings because of what happened before, thanking the Buddha for protecting her from being plotted against.
Zheng Jiayu immediately found something wrong. He and Luo Chen had been married for twelve years. He knew Luo Chen, and Luo Chen was not very keen on worshiping Buddha.
Apart from going to the temple with his mother, he never asked to go to the temple on his own.
Even when he was taking the imperial examination, no one thought of going to the temple to burn incense for him.
So Zheng Jiayu immediately went to Ganye Temple outside the city. After entering and burning incense, he asked to stay in the temple for two days, and the abbot agreed.
Let the little monk take him to stay in the men's guesthouse.
While walking on the road, Zheng Jiayu specifically asked the little monk: "Little Master, where is the women's guest house?"
The little monk's expression suddenly changed: "Why are you asking this?"
Zheng Jiayu explained calmly, "My father's death anniversary is in two days, and my mother said she wanted to stay in the temple for two days.
So I came here in advance to inquire about the conditions of the women's hospital here and how far it is from the men's hospital."
The young monk suddenly realized: "Oh, that's how it is, the women's courtyard is over there, just two turns from here and you will get there. In order to avoid running into them and causing unnecessary trouble.
There is also a road leading directly to the front of the women's courtyard. If you are waiting for your mother, you can go directly to the intersection and wait. It is not too far away."
After Zheng Jiayu found out, she left.
Luo Chen knew he was coming and smiled slightly, especially during dinner.
He came out for a walk, deliberately letting Zheng Jiayu see him, and followed him all the way to the woods behind.
Zheng Jiayu finally spoke: "Miss Tong, how are you?"
Luo Chen turned around with a calm expression: "It's you, you're still alive?"
"So you're back too." Zheng Jiayu looked at Luo Chen, the 28-year-old girl, with some nostalgia in her eyes, because of the contempt she received from the Tong family.
So in his eyes, Luo Chen's beauty, which was ten points, was dragged down to five points, but this was during the period when he had just passed the imperial examination.
The two of them were in love for a while before they had their first son. But later, he found that Luo Chen was of no help at all in the officialdom.
He began to regret it, until he met Fang Yaoling, his heart began to beat again, and he desperately wanted to get rid of this stain.
"Yes, that's why I'm so anxious to get rid of you, this ungrateful bastard." Luo Chen's eyes were full of disgust.
Zheng Jiayu thought of her current situation and felt very angry: "I know I am sorry for you, but you are too cruel. If you hate me, don't marry me.
Why do you want to deprive me of my fame? Ruining someone's future is like killing his parents. You are going too far."
Luo Chen sneered: "You said at the beginning that I forced you to marry me. If you didn't, I would report you to the authorities and say that you have bad character and have your reputation revoked.
Since you said so, of course I have to make this matter true, otherwise you will appear to be a liar and a murderer of your parents.
Although you didn't kill my parents, you did what happened to my brother. Chen Qing had just gotten engaged, and you killed him.
The property of my Tong family will eventually become part of your family, and the betrothal gift given to Fang Yaoling is also the property of my Tong family.
Compared to the immoral things you have done, I am much gentler. "
"I am sorry for you." Zheng Jiayu felt mixed emotions. To be honest, she was able to pass the imperial examination only with the help of the Tong family.
It is also true that he found that the Tong family was of no use to him after he became successful. He fell in love with Fang Yaoling because he was already 30 years old at that time.
But he still attracted a noble woman to fall in love with him, which was a feeling of complacency, mostly because the Duke of Liguo's Mansion was in a high position and powerful and could help him.
As for whether he loves Fang Yaoling or not, that’s all.
When he was young, he was arrogant and felt that the Tong family looked down on him. He was determined to succeed and to make the Tong family, who had despised him in the past, look good. He finally did it.
But as he grew older, he occasionally thought of the Tong family and felt guilty.
Therefore, he would secretly give some help to the eldest son born to Luo Chen so that he would not be too sad and could also alleviate some of his guilt towards Luo Chen and the Tong family.
"Now that you know, get out of here. I don't want to see you again."
After saying that, Luo Chen left. Zheng Jiayu looked at Luo Chen's figure, her eyes revealing reluctance and calculation, if they were young.
At this time, he would have been so angry that he wanted to chase Luo Chen to quarrel with him, but now, he has been in the officialdom for many years and knows that quarreling is useless, so he should do something practical.
The important thing is to get greater benefits for yourself, and other empty things can be omitted.
That night, Zheng Jiayu sent Luo Chen a letter, asking her if she wanted to know how their eldest son's life ended up. He was sure.
As a mother, Luo Chen must want to know how her child is living. If she wants to know, she can go to the woods behind the mountain to meet him early tomorrow morning.
He also painted a portrait of his eldest son when he grew up and gave it to Luo Chen.
After receiving the letter, Luo Chen sneered and asked his personal maid to go and invite the abbot and monks of the temple to the back mountain early the next morning.
Although the little maid didn't know why, she had to listen to what the young lady said.
