"What did you say? Hou Gongzi is the illegitimate son of Princess Xianghe?

Old Madam Xiao didn't dare to be sure for a while, and looked at Second Madam Xiao in surprise.

Mrs. Xiao also lost her arrogance suddenly, stroked her chest with one hand, stood up from the chair, and stared at her younger siblings with a little expectation.

Second Mrs. Xiao put down the teacup in her hand, her expression was a little weird, as if she was worried, and there was a hidden coolness, she patted her chest and said, "Ouch, really! Just now my brother asked someone to secretly deliver me a message, saying that this Hou Gongzi is the illegitimate son of Princess Xianghe, and now he can't be the master, and the prefect of Fuzhou is here!"

Mrs. Xiao suddenly sat down on the chair, her face pale.

Old Madam Xiao was speechless for a long time.

Mama Dong stepped forward gently, stroked the old lady's back, and said softly, "Old lady, the second young master hasn't come back yet." ”

Mrs. Xiao trembled and said, "How to give, send him a message, tell him to hide outside, don't come back." ”

The old lady pondered for a long time, and waved her hand dejectedly, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you go back and rest first, and I will ask someone to find a way to deliver the news to Wu'er." ”

"I, I don't ...... back"

"What's the use of you staying here?"

Old Madam Xiao interrupted her and said without saying anything: "Come, send the eldest lady back." ”

Mrs. Xiao was reluctantly sent away by the maid, and as soon as she went out with her front feet, the old lady said, "Go and call the second master over." ”

Second Mrs. Xiao lowered her eyes to cover the strange brilliance inside, and took the teacup again, holding the lid in one hand, and gently playing with the floating tea leaves inside.

The old lady's small triangular eyes glanced at her sharply, but there was no squeak.

Second Master Xiao arrived soon.

"Mother. ”

Old Madam Xiao snorted, "Second child, you were also present when Xiao Wu and Hou Gongzi clashed?"

"Yes, my son was there at the time. ”

Second Master Xiao's face was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The old lady's eyes were burning and she stared at her son.

"That day, I originally took Wu'er to meet Lu Ye, Lu Ye brought a son who claimed to be surnamed Hou to go with him, that Hou Gongzi didn't know where he had seen our family Ya Ya and her two sisters in the Zhou family, saying that the three golden flowers and apricot buds of the Zhou family were all as beautiful as flowers, and he wanted Wu'er to introduce him, and asked them to come out to drink two cups with him. ”

After hearing this, Old Madam Xiao looked disdainful.

"That's it?"

Then there was a look of pain and chagrin, "You, why don't you stop the second uncle?"

Second Mrs. Xiao put down the teacup dissatisfiedly, "Mother, what you said, Wu'er's temper, how can our second master stop it?"

I don't know when these two will reconcile?

Second Master Xiao nodded with a little pain, "Who said it wasn't, Wu'er rushed up and gave him a punch, and I couldn't stop it." ”

Seeing his mother's unhappy face, he turned his head around, "However, that Hou Gongzi knows some kung fu, Wu'er is not his opponent at all, and the one they fought in the restaurant, Wu'er suffered a lot." ”

Old Madam Xiao turned around on the faces of his husband and wife, and asked lightly, "And then?"

"That Hou Gongzi beat Wu'er to the ground, or Lu Ye interceded, so he gave up, followed Lu Ye Yang, I said a few words to Wu'er, telling him not to be so impulsive in the future, Wu'er was angry and ignored me, got up and ran away. ”

"And then?"

Second Master Xiao shook his head sadly, "Then, I couldn't find him, and I sent people to find most of Qingtian Town but couldn't find it, I guessed if he went back to Xiaojiazhuang first, so I had to go home first." ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at him fixedly, without words.

Second Mrs. Xiao looked at her mother-in-law dissatisfied, "Mother, what do you mean by looking at our second master like this?

"Shut up. ”

Second Master Xiao glanced at his wife and shouted softly.

"Mother has her own considerations, and it's your turn to talk nonsense. ”

Old Madam Xiao's face softened slightly, "Second child, I dare to be sure that Wu'er has nothing to do with the death of this so-called Hou Gongzi, it is just a few quarrels, he is not narrow-minded to the point of killing, besides, the girls of the Zhou family and him are only a few sides." ”

Second Master Xiao bowed slightly, "My son thinks the same way." ”

"It's just that now that the person is dead, those adults are not asking for the truth, they just want to catch a possible suspect quickly, so that they can give the princess an errand. ”

Old Madam Xiao sighed, "What we can do now is to quickly give them the 'truth' so that Wu'er can get out." ”

Second Master Xiao looked at his mother incomprehensibly, "What do you mean?"

"Even if it's an editor, you have to make up a truth!"

Old Madam Xiao's tone was firm.

Second Master Xiao's heart sank, his face sank, and he looked at his mother in disbelief, "Mother, have you ever thought that if they find out that this murderer is made up by us, our Xiao family will be finished." ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at him with a sneer, "Do you think that if this pot of Wu'er is carried back, our Xiao family will be able to have good fruits to eat?"

Second Master Xiao didn't speak, his face was slightly hesitant.

"Second child, under the nest, An has finished her eggs? If Wu'er really becomes the murderer of Gongzi's son, do you think the princess can let our family go?

Second Master Xiao pondered for a long time and asked, "What is Mother's opinion?"

"You have to find a murderer first, such as Hou Gongzi to provoke his sister-in-law or wife, he shot angrily, his ancestors are all hunters, and there are not a few who can make seven-step snake venom. ”

Old Madam Xiao looked at her son and said, "You also have to find an eyewitness who saw this murder and testified against the murderer." ”

Second Master Xiao nodded, "My son understands, so I'll do it." ”

"You also need to find an alibi for Wu'er - I have thought of the most suitable person. ”

Old Madam Xiao suddenly smiled, "You go, go to the place where Wu'er often goes, try to find him, and confess to him." ”

Second Master Xiao said: "Mother, I am afraid that there are few people who dare to testify for Xiao Wu at this time. ”

Old Madam Xiao tilted her head to look at him, "Do you think Doctor Wei has the courage to do this?"

"Dr. Wei?"

Second Master Xiao subconsciously repeated, he naturally had the courage to do so.

"Since Dr. Wei wants to marry my granddaughter, he must always contribute to the Xiao family, otherwise, with such good conditions as Yaya, it is not difficult to marry a high-ranking family in exchange for a safe Wu'er. ”

"Yes, the mother is clever, and the son will do it. ”

Second Master Xiao got up to leave, and Second Lady Xiao stood up with a slightly angry face.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the backs of the two of them going out, and suddenly shouted, "Second child!"

The voice is high-pitched and the tone is stern.

The two turned back for some reason.

Old Madam Xiao said: "You must understand that the Xiao family is a whole, and under the nest, no one can have good fruits to eat." ”
