I was Idle and Cool Chapter 190: Courtesy

Seriously, if it was before, who would come out at such a time and say that he is a girl who has something to say, Zhao Mingde might have called her with a slap: If you have something to say, who are you?

But now...

"You say, you say."

Having been in the officialdom for so many years, he still has some idea of ​​who can be offended and who can't be offended, not to mention Gu Juefei who is holding a pestle in the hall.

Lu Jin is not a bully, but Gu Jue is not a bully.

Actually, he wished that they would pinch them below. It would be better if he could directly understand the result, so as not to throw everything to him and ask him to make up his own mind, it would be bad.

So Zhao Mingde was very smart at this time, and his attitude was extremely humble, and he looked like he was listening.

Lu Jinxi was satisfied to see him being so obedient.

She stood in the sight of everyone, she turned her footsteps lightly, and turned to face Xue Kuang first. At this moment, her eyes were like a cloudless cloud, and there was a hint of melancholy.

The people who join in the fun behind her can only see her silhouette, but just such a little revealing look has made them instantly quiet.

That is a look with a story.

And to be honest, many people in Beijing have scolded her privately over the years, but now that she really looks like her, who still thinks she is that kind of shameless slut?

People who love to join in the fun actually don't just want to watch a simple fun. If they get involved in something, they want to know more, learn more, find out more inside stories, and dig more Stories, even...

See more inversions.

What Lu Jinxi has prepared for everyone now is what they may not realize, but have been yearning for unconsciously.

"Sir Xue, you're polite." After staring for a while, she lowered her eyes, bowed and saluted, and then raised her head again, "Today, although the court is in court, the former relationship is not fake. Therefore, Jin Xi I want to ask you a question - after eleven years of marriage, do you love me?"

Frank enough!

Han people do not like to express their love in their mouths, but always prefer to rely on other things, expressing it euphemistically and vaguely. Sometimes it's beautiful, but sometimes it lacks punch and is so ambiguous that it's easy to blur the point.

So Lu Jinxi discarded all decorations and went straight to the point!

Inside and out, she was shocked.

Sometimes the words "shameless" were about to pop out of their throats, but after looking at the scene, they didn't dare to say it.

Even Gu Juefei almost didn't hold back, his eyelids twitched.

Xue Kuang didn't even think about it.

He has already faintly realized that he is facing a difficult opponent today, and Gu Juefei should have realized his intentions. He avoided today's trial at all, and instead let Lu Jinxi speak.

And this new "Lu Shi" is by no means his weak and bullying wife.

She is intelligent, bold, and often unexpected.

At this moment, Xue Kuang thought of a lot of things, but the question was so straightforward that he couldn't avoid it at all. So he can only say: "My wife raises children for the sake of it, filial piety to elders, manages housework, and respects and loves."

Liar!

It's not that Lu Jinxi didn't know what happened to the Lu family in the past. I'm afraid that Xue Kuang has the word "respect", but the word "love" has no part in it!

She almost raised her eyebrows to taunt her, but she held back.

—The purpose of asking this question has been achieved.

What she wants is for Xue Kuang to admit that he loves the Lu family, and faced with her problem, as long as Xue Kuang has the brain, he will not say that he does not love.

That's no doubt a hand in hand, and this lawsuit can be dismissed.

Just as he dug this pit for Gu Juefei in court, Gu Juefei had to jump; Lu Jinxi dug this pit for him, he also had to jump.

"Respect and love, if there is a word from your lord, Jin Xi's eleven years of youth are wrongly paid, and it is considered willing." She sighed lowly, but the corners of her eyes and brows were lightly outlined, but there was a faint ray of light. Ku, "It stands to reason that in the past eleven years, as a woman, I should work hard and bear no grudges. After all, marrying a chicken follows a chicken, and a dog follows a dog, not to mention that I married a hero? But in these eleven years, I have been away all year round. Master Xue, who claims to be 'respecting and loving' to Jinxi, know what I think in my heart?"

Xue Kuang is wearing a heavy dark blue suit today. Such a heavy color suppresses the excessive evil spirit condensed by his hands full of blood and killing, but the ancient wind, frost and snow on the corners of his eyes and brows are not reduced. go.

When Lu Jinxi spoke, he just listened silently.

When I heard the end, I fully understood the strategy of the woman in front of me.

Capturing the thief first, the king, in this so-called court case, his purpose is not to win back the so-called wife, and her purpose is not to win back her freedom.

Every word she said was aimed at him.

She is disintegrating other people's perception of this matter, and she is also forcing him to give up today's plan step by step.

Xue Kuang looked at her with an undisguised admiration in his eyes. Even in the face of her seemingly soft but aggressive words, he couldn't produce the kind of disgusting he wanted to get rid of. Then quick ideas.

At this time, I just sighed: "I don't know."

"A good 'I don't know'..."

Lu Jinxi lowered her head, a few strands of hair fell down, swept the snow-white and fragile neck, and gently hung it by her cheeks. Her eyes became dim, but her voice was calm.

"In the second year of Qing'an, the emperor granted the marriage, can you please tell me, Master Xue, and also tell Master Zhao in the hall, and even all the people who are listening in today, who did you bring back when you returned to Beijing to receive the decree and get married?"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Xue Kuang.

Xue Kuang lowered his eyes slightly, and was silent for a moment before saying, "This matter is unreasonable. Bianguan Orchid, half the concubines, I am Xue Kuang and I am sorry. But these things all happened before the emperor granted marriage, The situation is absurd. After marrying his wife and entering the door, he did not even take a concubine. If the wife insisted on this, Gai Kuang would have no beginning and no end to his wife, and even though he was willing to suffer, he would not accept it in the end.”

As expected, he is also a generation of warriors who use soldiers like gods. This brain is really fast.

Lu Jinxi couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

Indeed, men of this era, especially men of high power, do not take concubines, and they can simply stamp their true love for their wives.

It's a pity that the Lu family back then didn't really have such an honor.

Instead...

She had a tougher life than anyone else.

"Master Xue is dissatisfied, how can Jin Xi have no hatred in his heart? This marriage was not what my father wanted from the beginning. If it weren't for the emperor's words that could not be changed, my Lu family's scholarly family would not dare to do anything. Entrusting his life to a man who had a son before marrying a proper wife."

Lu Jinxi didn't talk to him about his feelings, but just laid out the facts again.

"Besides, we've been married for eleven years, and we've had fewer meetings and more separations. Adults claim to be respectful and loving, but how much do you know about life in the back house?"

“…”

This time, Xue Kuang was speechless.

Because he really doesn't know, or even if there is a faint guess, he can't say it at the moment.

During this moment of silence, the Yanei whispered.

Because some rumors about the general's wife Lu Clan in the early years had spread all over the capital, who didn't know that Lu Clan was a dough-like figure?

Then the general's mansion is a big family, and where can there be less slanderous methods?

The Lu family had a bad life in the General's Mansion, which is almost universally recognized in the capital.

But at this time, Lu Jinxi didn't say how hard he was. Many words came out of the victim's mouth, which would inevitably be too subjective. Authenticity, and secondly, there are always some words to be said by onlookers to be the most shocking.

So at this moment, she just turned around and bowed to Zhao Mingde who was sitting in the hall, and said, "There are several people's ID cards, I wonder if you can ask an adult to summon them on your behalf?"

"A witness?"

Are witnesses drawn in such a bizarre lawsuit?

Zhao Mingde almost spit out a mouthful, but still held back at the critical moment, coughed and hurriedly said: "Pass, pass, who does Madam want to pass as testimony?"

Lu Jinxi directly reported a series of names: "The first is Mrs. Sun, the wife of the general's mansion, and the third is Mrs. Wei, the second is the first-class maids in the mansion, Bailu and Qingque; the third is the doctor of Huishengtang, Zhang Yuanzhi."

The voice of discussion among the people in the rear suddenly grew louder.

In the past, Xue Kuang's military advisor, Cai Xiu, was also standing in the crowd at this moment. When he heard this sentence, he immediately remembered the things he heard when he was paying attention to the news of the capital, and his heart skipped a beat, and secretly said, "It's broken. ".

Korean is outside the hall, but he is really powerless to stop it.

What can I do at this time?

Is it difficult for him to go to the General's Mansion, to Huishengtang, and send someone to stop the man from the mansion?

That's really trying to hide it, and it's a dead end!

Up to now, Xue Kuang, who was standing in the hall, may not feel anything, but Cai Xiu, who was watching from the back, stumbled and sighed: Lost!

Sure enough, as soon as the summoned witnesses arrived and they were questioned again, the audience was in an uproar!

Lu Jinxi politely asked her former mother-in-law Sun and younger brother Wei how they treated herself in the mansion. In front of everyone, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally argued that they treated her without merit or fault. Although they were not particularly favored, they definitely did not feel sorry for her.

But then it was the turn of the two maids.

Egret and Qingque have stayed in the mansion to serve their brothers and sisters since Lu Jinxi's remarriage. They were not the ones who served the Lu family when they entered the general's mansion, but the time they served was the best time for the Lu family. Miserable time!

The two maids can be regarded as loyal and loyal. In addition, they saw a lot of scandals in the mansion that were bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Although I know that there is also the reason for Lu's cowardly temperament, but if there is someone in the mansion who truly protects her, How could it be so miserable?

At this time, both of them choked up.

From when they first talked to Mrs. Lu, the details of the misery and resentment in the inner house were revealed one by one, so that many soft-hearted people in the audience sighed secretly, and some women quietly wiped their tears.

The Lu family had a good time in those days, and had neither scheming nor shrewdness. Although there was a grand general's wife on her body, the things she had to face and the people she wanted to communicate with were not things she could handle at that time. of.

In that mansion, she was alone.

It was like a lost person walking in the dark, stumbled and fell with injuries all over her body, but she neither dared to be known to outsiders, nor to tell her family, so that my father was afraid of her.

I had no choice but to endure the pain and worry, forcing myself to have nowhere to go.

The confessions of the two maids are obviously more impactful than the dry denials of Sun and Wei, not to mention that Sun and Wei are also one of the promoters of Lu Jinxi's tragedy. Even if the maids didn't say too many bad things about them, the little clues were enough to make people imagine.

One bullied the second sister-in-law, and the other stood by.

Of course they are not the culprits, but how can they be considered good people?

After hearing this, many people already said "Bah". Even Xue Kuang, who was next to him, was slightly stunned. He glanced at Mrs. Sun and the first time at Mrs. Wei, and fell silent.

But Lu Jinxi still has witnesses.

And this last witness, what do you think, how do you feel a little strange.

Few people in the capital don't recognize him——

The doctor of Huishengtang, Guishou Zhang.

Today, he was summoned by the government office and thought he had done something, but the officer told him that he was invited by Lu Jinxi to testify.

To be honest, Guishou Zhang is actually not very reliable, and he doesn't really want to get involved in these crap. But just as he was about to refuse, their old lady came to scold him again, saying that she didn't remember the medicinal herbs that Mrs. Ren gave you, and it was convenient for you?

So I can't help but come.

But in fact, others are standing in the hall now, and they are still a little confused. Why are they asking themselves to testify?

The old man in a simple gray cloth robe obviously didn't know how much reputation he had among the ordinary people in the capital, and he didn't know that he had quietly stepped into this painless little kid that Lu Jinxi had set up for him. in the trap.

He just stood in the hall, looking around.

Looking at him, Lu Jinxi suddenly remembered that he came to this world. When he first opened his eyes to "Resurrection from the Dead", he heard someone say in his ear: "No saving, no saving, everyone is dead, This is also really pitiful..."

That voice is a ghost hand.

She was slightly absent-minded, but at this time, she was more solemn than ever. She first bowed to the ghost hand, and then said: "Today's court hearing, disturbing the old doctor's business, it's Jinxi's suddenness, I'll apologize to you first."

"Don't, don't, how can I afford it?"

Did you not see that the two men next to you are still sticking? Guishou Zhang sneered in his heart, hurriedly helped him, and asked straightforwardly.

"Just say what are you looking for me to do, I'm still rushing back to see a doctor!"

Someone in the back laughed softly.

Well-meaning.

Obviously everyone knows that Guishou Zhang has such a temperament, and he really likes this old doctor who is willing to do his best to treat the poor.

Lu Jinxi didn't dare to waste his time, and only smiled lightly, but when he spoke again, his eyes were slightly red, and there was a little bit of trembling in his calm voice: "Then please Doctor Zhang, tell me about the illness that Jin Xi saw in the winter of the thirteenth year of Qing'an..."

The ghost froze for a moment.

He didn't think that he was here to do this, no matter how slow he was, he should have reacted. It's just that he glanced at Lu Jinxi with a complicated look, then turned his head to look at Xue Kuang, and was silent for a long time.

He recognizes all the three people in the hall at the moment.

Xue Kuang sent Xue Tingzhi to Huishengtang for treatment when the palace changed at the end of the late emperor's life. He discovered the clue and also knew the general's righteousness;

In the sixth year of Qing'an floods, Gu Juefei ran for disaster relief, but he treated the epidemic patients in the city, so he understood the eldest son's kindness to the world;

At the beginning of the thirteenth year of Qing'an, the general's wife, Lu Shi, was seriously ill. The servant girl in the house begged him to be healed, and he learned of the sorrow and kindness of the woman in the deep house.

They are all very good people, how did they get to where they are now?

Gui Shou Zhang actually didn't understand.

It's just that the right and wrong is in everyone's heart, and there is an accurate measure, and he finally opened his mouth with a long sigh.

"At that time, the maid Xue Xue, who was beside Madam, begged to return to Shengtang in the night, saying that she had suffered from a severe cold and fever and was about to die. I rushed there and checked the pulse, and concluded that Madam's exposure to the cold was really a trivial matter. It is because of worrying for several years, accumulated depression in the heart, disorders of the five internal organs, and lack of sleep all the year round. Everyday minor illnesses, a day's occurrence is like a flood bursting a dyke. Moreover, his body is weak and unable to take strong medicines, even if the old man has good medical skills, this is the case. At the same time, I was helpless. I could only feel my wife's pulse and breath. At that time, I felt that my wife's soul had returned to the underworld, but I didn't expect God to take pity on me. I pulled it back. Today I saw that my wife is in good health and is no longer sick and weak. As a doctor, the old man is very relieved."

Speaking of which, I can't help but hide a bit of sigh and happiness.

Gui Shou Zhang's words did not mean to accuse the General's Mansion at all, but it is impossible to hold the cause and effect, and it is impossible for people not to think about some very bad aspects!

A good general's wife, why is she so depressed that she almost died from a serious illness?

"It's really unreasonable, a good girl was almost killed, and she was not allowed to remarry! What a general's mansion, this is a wolf's den that eats people and doesn't spit bones!"

In the crowd at the back, I don't know who couldn't hold back, and sarcastically said a word.

Cai Xiu in the crowd twitched the corners of his eyes, and almost instantly turned his head to look for the person who was speaking, but the people behind him were crowded, everywhere, how do you know who said it?

When he only heard this sentence, everyone exploded.

This kind of thing has always been that as long as someone takes the lead, someone follows the trend, and there are many people who follow suit, not to mention that Lu Jinxi is really pitiful?

In just a moment, the injustice, sarcasm, dissatisfaction, and even scolding, all came at once.

There was a lot of commotion inside and outside of the entire government office.

Lu Jinxi's play is now coming to an end.

She restrained her mind that was floating in the memory of these old events, and respectfully bowed to the ghost hand again: "Thank you, Dr. Zhang."

Ghost Zhang sighed again, but did not speak.

The eyes of the audience almost fell on Xue Kuang.

Xue Kuang was a little absent-minded for the first time.

Although he had always arranged for his eyes and ears to listen to news in Beijing, and he also knew that Lu Shi had been seriously ill, he never knew it was so dangerous.

Or rather...

When he turned his eyes, it was already on Lu Jinxi's body.

At this moment, the woman who stood on top of this government office and used a seemingly weak but actually tit-for-tat attitude to fight wit and courage with him suddenly understood.

——That serious illness really took away the Lu family, took away the poor woman who had been arguing in the general's mansion for eleven years, and then brought this seemingly identical reality in front of him. The diametrically opposite Lu Jinxi.

Merely meeting his eyes, Lu Jinxi believed that this man had deduced the whole truth from the clues.

I just don't know, is he ashamed?

"Master Xue, you keep saying that you respect me and love me, but because of your respect and love that is far away from heaven, I was beaten and suffered in purgatory. Lord Yama didn't take my life, But he told me to cherish myself. Without this gift of marriage, you would still be that mighty general, and I would still be the jewel in the boudoir that my parents regarded as a treasure."

"It was six years after you 'death on the battlefield' that I lost my love."

"For eleven years, just as you said, I have given birth to your children, taken care of the housework, filial piety to my elders, and asked myself that there is nothing wrong with being a general's wife. But today, you are facing hardships. "

When she said these words, she turned her body slightly, so that Xue Kuang could see her expression clearly, and of course everyone outside could see the sadness and loneliness that were true or false.

"You said you were there for those children and for the family reunion. But I'm no longer your family. What are you doing now, where do you put your innocent flesh and blood?"

"They are too young for their children."

"Young girls are innocent and ignorant of world affairs, and they don't even know what the rumors are today. When I remarried, even the rumors in Beijing didn't hurt them in the slightest. You are the strict father they always admire, Father, why don't you give them a second thought?"

While the words are soft, the reproach could not be more obvious!

Even if you, Xue Kuang, argue that you didn't think so deeply at first, and didn't think about bringing these children to the forefront, but now that she has said it clearly, he can still turn a deaf ear, Turn a blind eye?

If this is the case, I am afraid that the world will poke the spine off!

From start to finish, it was a well-laid and well-laid trap in her hands:

The makeup and clothing corrects people's inherent impression of Lu's, making it impossible for people to judge every word she said with their old cognition;

The beginning of interrogating feelings is to open eyes for the back and cut off all the back roads for Xue Kuang;

The testimony of a few people is a bittersweet drama that good people like to hear and see. It earns tears and sympathy. The testimony of Ghost Hand Zhang is an illusion under the principle of montage;

And just now put forward for the sake of children...

Undoubtedly, it is a perfect and flawless moral kidnapping!

Finally, Lu Jinxi made a final statement for himself and for Lu's family: "General, if you really respect me and love me as you said, please raise your hand and let me go."
