Comprehensive film and television: Queen Queen uses her beauty to commit crimes

Chapter 261 Sun Yingjuren

Under Sheng Tang's escort, the group arrived safely at Youyang's hometown.

There was no getting lost, no accidents, no frights, only joy and happiness like an outing.

Rulan chattered and had fun on the boat, and even learned how to fish. Her favorite thing every day was to ask the maid to hold an umbrella and go fishing for dinner.

Sometimes I can make tofu soup with it, but sometimes I can only dry it and use it to mix with cold dishes.

As they were about to arrive in Youyang, after wandering around for half a day, Lu Cheng and Rulan were still a little depressed.

But soon, when she arrived in Youyang City, she became lively again.

The two big words "Sheng Zhai" are quite important in Youyang.

What's more, they were a group of people with a distinguished demeanor, and anyone who saw them would stop for a while and ask a few questions.

"From Tokyo?"

"An old lady from Bianjing? Ouch——"

"Going to Sheng's house? Could it be the official from the second branch of the Sheng family?"

Yuyang's intelligence was not that well-informed, but the two words "Beijing official" were enough to make them gasp in amazement for a while.

Once you enter the Sheng Mansion, greetings are inevitable.

As the top scholar, Changtong was obviously the focus of attention, but because of the rule of not marrying people with the same surname, each family was rather reserved.

However, in Youyang, families that have dealings with the Sheng family never tire of delivering letters.

In addition, even Changzhuo, who had just turned ten years old, became a hot commodity and was surrounded by aunts and asked all kinds of questions.

The enthusiasm of relatives and neighbors made everyone feel a little "scary".

They quickly found excuses and fled from the banquet hall together, then they smiled at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

When the younger generations get together, they aren't so polite in their conversations.

As they talked, Pinlan and Rulan got more and more interested in each other, and the topic inevitably brought up Shulan.

There were no scholars in the Song Dynasty, and this Mr. Sun is now just a candidate for the imperial examination.

The Sun family members were so disrespectful that just by listening to Pinlan's description, Ruolan and Changtong became furious.

"What a thing! He is nothing but an uneducated ruffian who eats and uses Sister Shulan's things, and even takes a concubine without knowing what's good for him, and even commits domestic violence!

This is how he violated the laws of the Song Dynasty as they were written!

It's simply lawless, how rampant? ! "

Under the influence of Molan and the An sisters' words and deeds, Rulan's angry rage, both in words and in momentum, was more formal. She was no longer like in the drama, where she would just talk nonsense about the "legitimate and illegitimate children" in the backyard.

Sun Yingju was an uneducated man, and all his food, clothing and other expenses depended on Shulan's dowry.

Nowadays, it is not a good thing for a man to covet a married woman's dowry.

In addition, the famous saying of the Song Dynasty Law stipulates that "those who beat their wives shall be reduced to two levels of ordinary people; if they die, they shall be treated as ordinary people. Those who beat their concubines to the point of breaking or above shall be reduced to two levels of wife."

Even if it is your wife, if you beat or scold her and hurt her, you cannot be innocent.

The laws can be traced back to history, and the crime of "husband beating his wife" was officially established in the Qin Dynasty.

Qin law stipulates: If a wife is violent and her husband beats or flogs her, but does not use weapons, even if he injures her, he shall not be punished.

During the Warring States Period, people were simple and honest, and it was not uncommon for women to be independent and strong.

Therefore, if a man has to fight back after being beaten by his wife, even if the injury is only minor, he is not guilty.

But if the wife is not violent but is still beaten, everything must be strictly enforced according to normal laws.

"First, they will be interrogated. If the couple wishes to divorce, they will be sentenced to divorce. If they do not want to divorce, they will be examined and redeemed. If they die, they will be hanged."

The so-called laws are just regulations nowadays, and the mouths of scholars are not just for eating and drinking tea. As long as there is history to be found, reason to rely on, and evidence to cite, everything is possible.

Everyone knows Shulan's character, and now the Princess's Mansion and the Emperor himself are endorsing the virtues of the Sheng family's daughter.

If Sun Yingju questioned the character of the daughter of the Sheng family, he would be refuting the words of the emperor and the eldest princess, which would be a heinous crime and a great disrespect.

Therefore, a legitimate and legitimate divorce to seek justice for Shulan is imperative.

There is no need to consider the so-called "face". If you act timidly at this time, you will lose face and lose your demeanor.

What is the current status of the Sheng family that they need to flatter and compromise with a local scoundrel?

Once this matter is exposed, there is absolutely no option of "enduring".

But she was born into a landowner family, and Sun Yingjuren's mother was arrogant and shouted at the banquet,

"My son is a juren!"

But Old Lady Sheng smiled.

She sat at the top and said with a smile,

"My grandson is the top scholar. He is the second scholar. He is also the third scholar. There are only three men of the second branch of our Sheng family who are of the right age. They took the palace examination together this year and won the top three places in the list of Jinshi."

This matter had long been a hot topic in Tokyo City, and when the news spread to Youyang where not many people participated in the scientific expedition this year, not many people paid attention to it.

The Sheng family kept a low profile and did not spread the news everywhere.

Now, when it was said by Mrs. Sheng Xu herself in front of so many guests, everyone in the room was shocked, and everyone stared with eyes wide open and held their breath.

By the time Mrs. Sheng reached her age, she already knew how to be high-profile.

She did not stop, drank a sip of tea, and continued to preach.

"My eldest granddaughter is highly praised by the eldest princess and is a model of noble ladies and wives in Bianjing recognized by the emperor himself.

My fourth granddaughter has excellent character, outstanding morals, and graceful appearance. She was personally conferred the title of Princess Jianing by the government and enjoys a restaurant of the same level as a princess.

What? Listen to Sun Yingjuren's mother, what you mean is that the men of my Sheng family who are ranked in the top three are not as noble as a mere Yingjuren.

The daughter of my Sheng family, whose moral character and cultivation are highly praised by the royal family, is just so-so in your words. Is she really not worthy of your son who is a candidate for the imperial examination? "

When a family prospers, all prosper; when a family suffers, all suffer. The glory of the second branch of the Sheng family is naturally the support of the first and third branches of the Sheng family.

Mrs. Sheng's words left Mr. Sun Yingju's mother speechless.

But the Sheng family was not prepared to let things go peacefully.

As the most senior elder, Mrs. Sheng naturally does not need to take the lead in everything. As a "junior", and a peer of Sun Yingjuren's mother, it is time for Lin Qinshuang to show her power.

She stepped forward and bowed to the old ladies, then turned around and started to speak some polite words.

"Hey, today is a joyous day, so don't get angry.

In my opinion, since this has escalated to a dispute over hands and feet, divorce is inevitable.

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, Sun Yingju seized his wife's dowry, favored his concubine and killed his wife, and beat his wife innocently to the point of disability. He could not escape hundreds of beatings.

Since the status of the candidate is so noble and beyond our reach, we can only rely on the law to support our small Sheng family. Don’t you agree?

Let’s not mess around with them, let’s go directly to the government.”

Lin Qinshuang spoke lightly, seemingly trying to appease the anger of Old Madam Sheng Xu and Old Madam Sheng Da, saying helpless words like "What else can we do?" However, she directly and unambiguously defined the guilt of Sun Yingjuren.

Lin Qinshuang was not here to "put out the fire" but to "add tar".

The guests present originally thought that Sun Yingju was really ungrateful, but they still thought that they were "family" and they had to find a way to get along and make do with the infighting. Otherwise, how could the girl from the Sheng family get a divorce?

But after Lin Qinshuang said this, everyone slapped their thighs and realized what was going on.

The matter between Sun Yingjuren and the eldest daughter of the Sheng family is not just a small family matter.

This is a violation of the law and a crime, and the penalty is to be taken to the government and punished with a beating!

This divorce must be done, otherwise will I have to waste my whole life with a sinner?

Sun Yingjuren's mother did not recognize Lin Qinshuang and just looked gloomy.

"Why do we have to make things difficult for everyone?"

"Ugly?"

Lin Qinshuang laughed exaggeratedly, and even covered her face with a fan for a long time before she replied,

“I’m afraid your Sun family is the only one that looks ugly?

For a girl from the Sheng family to have any connection with your family, it would be bad luck for her to go to the temple and eat vegetarian food and chant sutras for three months."

Lin Qinshuang had a very vicious tongue, and she even humiliated Sun Yingjuren in public without any scruples.

This made Sun Yingju feel very embarrassed, and he immediately said,

"Shulan, you have no talent, no looks, and are dull and boring. You should not be worthy of me.

Let's divorce! Let's go to the government, I want to see who is the one who is embarrassed!

If you marry someone who butchers pigs and grows vegetables in the future, remember to be more virtuous. "

When Sun Yingjuren spoke, he not only made faces but also had naked sarcasm and contempt on his face, which made Rulan, Yao Yiyi and Chang Zhuo blush with anger.

Especially now that Yao Yiyi is a man named Changtong, he has rolled up his sleeves and is ready to teach this fat pig a lesson.

But, how can I do it myself?

In ancient times, people also had to pay attention to their status when they quarreled.

This is why Lin Qinshuang had to step forward on behalf of Old Lady Sheng to "quarrel" with Sun Yingjuren's mother.

It's the same today.

How could we let the top scholar of the dynasty beat up a fat pig? Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

"presumptuous!"

Molan's maid, who had an extremely low sense of presence in "Knowing Your Destiny", finally found her place to use her talents.

Longsha is still young, only eighteen years old.

But she, who took over the name of Longsha, is in no way inferior to any previous generation in terms of ability.

While she was scolding and interrupting Sun Yingjuren, nearly ten servants who had been following the female members of the Sheng mansion as guards also hurried forward to protect Molan and Rulan, and three of them were sent to capture Sun Yingjuren on the spot.

When Sun Yingju attempted to fight back, he unceremoniously drew his sword and put it on his neck.

At this time, Longsha raised his head, stood in front of Sun Yingjuren and his mother who were trying to make trouble, and said loudly,

"In front of the current county lady, you behaved in an indecent manner, spoke bad words, and insulted the civility. This is contempt for the majesty of the royal family and a serious crime of disrespecting the royal family.

Insulting the daughter of the Sheng family by saying she has no moral integrity, no character and no looks is tantamount to refuting the emperor and the eldest princess's golden words, and is a heinous disrespect among the ten major crimes.

As the Princess of Jianing County, the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official of the second rank, and the established wife of the royal family, we, the fourth young lady, have the right to execute you, the arrogant and conceited ruffians, first and foremost, and report to the emperor later."

After saying this, Longsha didn't even bother to look at Sun Yingjuren anymore, and said bluntly,

"Beat him, then drag him to the government office and punish him according to the law."

Yao Yiyi looked at the hand blocking her way and took a deep breath.

Only then did she truly understand the ways of doing things and the shackles that came with a noble status.

She still has a lot to learn. She is already the top scholar, but she still needs to trouble Molan to make plans for her. How can this work! !

Yao Yiyi has a lot to think about, but Rulan, who has someone to rely on, only needs to stand up.

"Bah! You disgusting fat pig, what qualifications do you have to insult my sister Shulan! What qualifications do you have to look down on the daughter of our Sheng family!

My eldest sister married into the eldest princess's mansion and became the eldest princess's eldest grandson's wife, with a noble status.

My fourth sister is the princess of the current dynasty. She married into the royal family of Zhao and is now a daughter of the royal family. The government has no right to hold her accountable. All questions and charges should be handed over to the clan affairs office, and the government should personally approve the case.

I am engaged to the eldest son of the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, and will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke of Guo's Mansion and the Duke's wife for sure.

The three branches of our Sheng family are of the same blood. Shulan, as the eldest daughter of the first branch, is your marriage partner. This is the blessing you have earned through ten lifetimes of hard work.

Looking at the entire Bianjing, there are countless princes and nobles who want to marry our Sheng family's daughter. It's already a stretch for you to be worthy of her? It's important for people to know themselves, otherwise they are no different from animals. Why don't you take a look at yourself!

Even if Sister Shulan were to marry a butcher who grows vegetables in the future, it would still be better than a shameless villain like you who has no talent or moral integrity, is lustful and pretentious, and thinks you are noble!

It's really disgusting to look at it for a second!"

Rulan is a little firecracker in this regard.

She was spoiled by the An sisters, tacitly approved by the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion, doted on by Wang Ruofu and Lin Qinshuang, agreed to by Sheng Hong, and nodded by Old Madam Sheng.

As the 'youngest' legitimate daughter, what's wrong with her being a little spoiled?

The Sheng Mansion is so big, and Sheng Hong is so scheming and has been scheming all his life, can’t he protect her?

Besides, Rulan's personality has always been like this, which only makes people feel that she is frank and does not make people feel that she is impolite.

There are some things that Hualan and Molan cannot do, but it is very appropriate for Rulan to do them.

Whether he had previously taken the blame for the princess's crime, or stood up at this moment to speak out everyone's thoughts and scold this shameless man.

Pinlan was standing aside, looking at such a brave Rulan, and Molan who had reasons and reasons to let the maid stand up for her instead of losing face, and her eyes were full of envy and longing.

She seemed to have found a way out after her sister's divorce, and also seemed to have found a role model that she wanted to learn and emulate in the future.

After Sun Yingjuren and his mother were dragged out, the banquet continued in an orderly manner.

But compared to the ease and calculation they had felt when they participated previously, everyone now felt an indelible fear and awe.

Sheng Mansion...

It seemed to be always close to them, yet it seemed to have never been closer.

The second-rank official of the dynasty, the number one scholar, the top three in the first class, the county lady, the wife of the duke, the eldest princess's mansion...

Every title makes them feel daunted.

All the calculations and shrewdness disappeared at this moment.

When the party was over and they returned to their respective rooms, Rulan was still muttering and cursing under her breath.
