Chapter forty-three
"I said that the master reads the sages for nothing." Tao looked at him without fear, "You are angry and irritated by me. Don't take your anger on Xiao Jiuer. Xiao Jiuer is not used to vent your anger. If you dare to say Xiao Jiuer again, don't blame me for turning against you and these things."
Tao pointed to Bao Qin and other concubines and Shen Dan and several concubine daughters.
"You dare!" Chen Muke said sternly.
"I don't dare to do anything!" Tao stood up and pointed at Chen Danbi, "Master, I won't say anything next to you. Just this matter is enough to dismiss you from office."
"You..." Chen Muke didn't expect Tao to use this to control him. Dong Qixiu's face turned pale and her whole body shrank. Chen Danbi was young and didn't understand what his mother pointed at her, and slowly chewed the slices of meat in her mouth.
"Master, from now on, don't point fingers at me, my mother and son, then everything can be the same. Otherwise, the master will wait for the official to turn white. They will all be on the streets and be self-conceived." Tao has always tolerated Chen Muke for his children, but today, Chen Muke has unreasonably accused Chen Danxia, just like an explosive pack igniting the lead and exploded immediately, and she couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'm going to give you up." Chen Muke shouted in a angrily ruthless manner.
Chen Danxia didn't expect that her mother would lead to such a big thing. She didn't care about Chen Muke, but was afraid that he would hurt Tao, so she walked to Tao silently and grabbed the corner of her clothes.
Tao raised his hand and touched her head, signaling her not to worry, and asked calmly: "Master, have you forgotten the rules of not leaving the three times, right?"
In order to ensure that the wife is not easily abandoned, the "Fenglu" stipulates three things that do not leave. Except for the wife who commits sexual misconduct, even if the wife meets other conditions for seven outbreaks, the husband cannot divorce his wife or divorce him.
One of the three things is "After three years of mourning", which means that the wife mourned for her husband's husband and aunt for three years. In this case, Chen Muke could not leave the Tao family, and it would be fine if the Tao family was revealed and separated.
Chen Muke was so angry that he died of Tao's indifference, and his chest was fluctuating. Seeing two legitimate sons who were almost as tall as Tao, one on the left and one on the right, he was shocked to realize that he could no longer control Tao. Tao's son was growing up and her back was hard.
Seeing his eyes staring at his two sons fiercely, Tao's heart skipped a moment. The man was cold-blooded and heartless, and he could come up with anything inhumane. He said sternly: "Master, if there is any unfortunate thing, then everything about the Master will be presented to the Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's Censor's
"Crash!" Chen Muke overturned the table hard, smashed all the bowls, dishes and dishes on the table, and then walked away angrily.
Tao sneered and said, "Sweep out and feed the dogs, let the kitchen cook a table again, and send it to the small hall of the main courtyard."
The servants obey orders.
Bao Qin and others sat in their seats and couldn't react for a long time.
The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was a lantern festival in Lutai County. County Magistrate Zheng knew that Chen Muke had returned, so he sent someone over early in the morning and asked him to go to a big restaurant in the city to enjoy the moon and watch the lanterns in the evening.
Whether or not Chen Muke would go or not, according to the previous arrangement, Taoist people decorated lanterns and hung riddles in the garden, and prepared moon cakes, osmanthus wine, osmanthus candy, peach pastry and other things to sacrifice the moon. At night, the family gathered together for a reunion dinner. Chen Muke's face was completely unfair, and Taoist people ignored it.
After dinner, Chen Muke went out to go to the appointment of Zheng County Magistrate. Tao took his family to the garden to enjoy the lanterns, guess riddles, watch the moon, and eat moon cakes.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most important activity is to worship the Moon Gu. This Moon Gu is Chang'e who runs for the moon, which is the folk saying of the Moon Goddess. The Dafeng Dynasty pursues the custom of men not worshiping the moon and women not worshiping the kitchen. Therefore, Shendan is the eldest, and she led her three sisters to kneel in front of the Yuexiang table, praying silently towards the "Moonlight Goddess".
Before Chen Danxia traveled through time, he was an atheist. After traveling through time, he felt that there was nothing strange in the world and that there was still God in heaven, so he sincerely bowed to the Moon Goddess. He asked God to bless his parents in his previous life and be healthy. He asked God to bless his mother and brother in this life and be safe and smooth.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Muke was about to return to Tanzhou Prefecture, pointing to Bao Qin and others and saying, "You pack up your things and go to Tanzhou with me."
What does he mean?
Chen Danxia frowned slightly, Shen Baimi's face turned pale, Shen Baiyu asked directly, "Father, what do you mean? Are you going to abandon my mother and us?"
"You are my children, I won't ignore them. You can go with me." Chen Muke wanted to abandon the Dow. He wanted to use this method to force Dow to take the initiative to propose divorce.
"We will not go with you." Shen Bomi walked to Tao and showed with his actions that he was standing on his mother's side. Shen Boyu and Shen Danxia also walked over. As the saying goes, it is better to beg for the mother than to be an official father.
Baoqin held Chen Dan's hand and walked to Tao. Between Chen Muke and Tao, she made a wise choice.
In a while, Aunt Rao was hesitant and pulled him to Tao by Chen Danxun. Chen Danxun saw it more clearly than Aunt Rao. Her biological father could not count on her, so she should live by her legitimate mother.
Finally, the one who followed Chen Muke to Tanzhou Prefecture was Dong Qixiu, the mother and daughter of Liu, Cai, Amber and Hua. Half a month later, Hua passed on a secret letter. Chen Muke spent 1,000 taels of silver to buy Cui Zixi's "Birthday Picture of Blowing the Flute and Congratulations" and the person who paid the money was Dong Qixiu.
Tao smiled. In her dream, she always used silver to supplement Chen Muke. Now that it was Dong Qixiu, this woman is actually not much smarter than her.
Chen Muke and Tao family did not live in the open, but in fact they had lived in the family. Chen Muke ignored his wives, concubines and children who remained in Lutai. In Tanzhou, Dong Qixiu regarded himself as the wife of the second wife under Shen Muke's indulgence, and went out for social activities.
Tao pretended not to know and lived in Lu Tai with his children. Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind did not stop. On the 25th day of the 12th lunar month, Jindu wrote to him saying that his mother was seriously ill and asked Tao and Shen Danxia to go back to serve the disease immediately.
"Madam, what should I do?" Mrs. Qi frowned. The old lady must be pretending to be sick, but the wife and the girl must not go back. If she doesn't go back, it would be against filial piety and the reputation of the wife and the girl would be ruined.
"When I go back to Jindu, what else can I do? I can rule the world with filial piety now." Tao said lightly.
Mrs. Qi sighed, "Madam, that's what I said, but this time I go back, my wife and Miss Ninth must be wronged."
"I won't let Xiao Jiuer suffer aggrieved." Tao said firmly. When she sent the 30% discount to Jindu, she expected this day, but she didn't expect that Chen's mother was so cruel that she didn't let her live a good life for even years. She is worthy of being a biological mother and son, and she is just as crazy.
"Madam, it's almost the New Year. After the New Year, I'm going to go to Beijing?" said Mrs. Qi.
"After the New Year, the snow has not melted yet, and it is difficult to walk on the road. It is not too late to go to Beijing when the spring flowers bloom." Tao curled the corners of her lips. She would not be so prepared to return to Jindu. She wanted to plan something so that Chen's mother would not dare to make things difficult for her and Xiaojiu'er.
