Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Aftermath of the Dog Cave
"Alright, alright, everybody's gone. Niece www.biquge.info Xiuying, don't go to your heart, Tianxu He just woke up, and he is still a little unconscious. Seeing that Lin Yingyuan couldn't find any dog holes at all, Zhang Tianyou became more and more convinced that Guo Tianxu was malicious slander against Ma Xiuying. He has a splitting headache, even if he makes a fuss in his own house, it also involves the Yao Mansion, so is the Yao Mansion something they can offend? Tianxu's nephew is too ignorant, and the eldest sister is really, knowing that her son is not angry, she still follows her son to mess around.
"My son won't talk nonsense, it must be Ma Xiuying stealing people!" Da Zhang directly charged Ma Xiuying with the crime. She didn't care about any reason or evidence, she just wanted to get rid of Ma Xiuying as soon as possible.
Ma Xiuying pretended to be a lonely and weak girl, leaned on Xiao Zhang's body, and wept sadly, "Now the truth has been ascertained, and Mrs. still said so." If Madame can't tolerate me and drive me out of the house, why bother to ruin my name and let me have the face to survive in the world?"
Da Zhang had no mercy, and said inwardly: "My son can clearly see that you have a private meeting with others, but you blocked the dog hole." If you don't have the face to live, die early, so as not to lose the face of my Guo family!" she roared loudly, but her face lost the calm confidence she had when she came, and she no longer mentioned Yao Fu and Yao Tianxi in her words.
"Big sister!" Zhang Tianyou and Xiao Zhang frowned at the same time, usually Da Zhang's cursed Ma Xiuying in private, they all pretended not to hear it, and today they were so vicious in front of the servants, it was not Ma Xiuying who made people feel embarrassed, but their Guo Mansion.
A private meeting on the left, a stealing person on the right, an old thief, is endless. Ma Xiuying was furious and shouted forcefully: "I will go to the government to sue you for malicious slander and ruining people's reputation! Even if I die, I will die innocently!"
"Ma Xiuying, Madam is your elder, what are you talking nonsense? No one drove you away, and no one wants you to die, don't make trouble, go into the house!" Zhang Tianyou hurriedly drank Ma Xiuying. Called Xiao Zhang's and dragged Da Zhang's away, and persuaded Da Zhang's while walking, "Sister, Tianxu is not sober, why are you confused?"
If Ma Xiuying is really allowed to go to the government to complain, then the Guo family will be embarrassed. First of all, the righteous daughter told her stepmother that she was a family ugly, and then Guo Tianxu tried to insult Ma Xiuying and was beaten unconscious, and secondly, the Da Zhang family humiliated Ma Xiuying for stealing people without evidence, and even involved the Yao family...... Alas, a bunch of messy things made Zhang Tianyou's head explode, and he really hated having to know this mother and son.
In the distance, you can still hear Da Zhang's domineering voice, "She still wants to go to the government to complain, dream! See if I don't break her legs!"
"There are so many people in the house, can you stop everyone's mouth? I don't care, you can explain it to your brother-in-law yourself......" Zhang Tianyou said badly, and finally persuaded the Da Zhang family.
"Your mother is gone, you still don't leave, waiting for me to knock you unconscious again?" Ma Xiuying showed her white teeth at Guo Tianxu, who was still searching the dog cave. Without evidence, even if Guo Tianxu knew the real situation, what could he do, this dumb man would have to let him swallow it. He is not worth mentioning in their eyes, but the crime of climbing into Yao Mansion for no reason is enough for them to drink a pot, and they don't dare to continue to make trouble.
"It's not over!" Guo Tianxu dropped a cruel word and left in a gloomy manner.
The entire Lin Yingyuan was in a mess, and Ma Xiuying didn't expect the servants of the Guo Mansion to be kind enough to help clean up the mess. After driving away these servants who were working for the tiger, she and Yuan Xing began to slowly collect things. The inside and outside of the house were turned into a mess, and even some places where it was impossible to hide people were scattered, and it was obvious that some servants were fishing in troubled waters. Fortunately, Ma Xiuying's savings are all used on Yingwei, and she currently belongs to the poor and white proletariat, and she is not afraid of losing anything valuable.
At this moment, there was a dog barking on the other side of the wall, Ma Xiuying hurriedly learned how to bark a few times, and after a while, a paper ball wrapped in stones was thrown over, she picked it up and looked at it, it said: How is the situation?
Ma Xiuying smiled knowingly, this was the code she discussed with Yao Tianxi, and after the dog hole was mended, she relied on a note to deliver the news. There was a lot of noise in the servant's search of the yard today, and it is estimated that Yao Tianxi also heard the sound across the wall, and deliberately threw a note over to inquire about the situation. She hurriedly wrote on the note, "All is well, don't read it!" wrapped in a stone and threw it back.
The next door was quiet, and it was estimated that Yao Tianxi was relieved when he saw the note. Ma Xiuying couldn't calm down for a long time, now her situation is getting more and more difficult, she and Da Zhang's are almost incompatible, although she can still live in Guo Mansion for the time being, but Da Zhang's will definitely find a way to persecute her and drive her away. There are also the cruel words that Guo Tianxu dropped before leaving, and the cold and devouring eyes made Ma Xiuying's scalp tingle, and she wondered if this person was already crazy.
Guo Zixing's side has not seen the news of the uprising for a long time, and Ma Xiuying doesn't know if she can hold out until the day when Guo Zixing picks them up. However, once she leaves Guo's mansion, it will be difficult for her to return to Guo Zixing's side, and she may miss Zhu Yuanzhang. She began to think about whether she wanted to find another way to find Zhu Yuanzhang.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that the Yao and Guo families are so close. The matter of the Da Zhang clan's troubles with Lin Yingyuan was soon spread by the servants, and then spread to the Yao Mansion. Usually, the gossip of the Guo family and the servants of the Yao Mansion are all jokes, but this time when it comes to their little master, the servants of the Yao Mansion are not happy, knowing that their young master is married to Miss Chen, and the Guo Mansion also rumors that Ma Xiuying and the young master have a private meeting, isn't it sincere to add to the obstruction and destroy the reputation of the young master?
The housekeeper immediately reported the news to Yao Zhenzhi, and Yao Zhenzhi, who was waving it, was furious, and immediately smashed a piece of high-grade Taohe inkstone.
When Mrs. Yao and Yao Tianxi hurriedly arrived, the study had been cleaned up and looked new, but Yao Zhenzhi's clothes were still splashed with a few drops of ink. He didn't change his clothes, he sat on the chair angrily, and glared at Yao Tianxi angrily, "What's the matter with you and Ma Xiuying of the Guo family?"
Yao Tianxi chuckled in his heart, and replied calmly, "The child doesn't know what his father is talking about?"
Mrs. Yao knew a little about Ma Xiuying, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Ma Xiuying? She is still pestering Tianxi? Tianxi is married, this woman is really ......" In the end, everyone is from a beautiful background, those vulgar words Mrs. Yao can't speak, but her face is inevitably full of disgust.
"What? Tianxi and Ma Xiuying are really unclear?" Yao Zhenzhi stood up suddenly, and his vigorous anger was about to erupt.
Yao Tianxi was taken aback, how did his mother know about Ma Xiuying, but this would not be the time to ask his mother, he continued to pretend to be confused, "What did my mother say, I have never been in contact with Miss Ma, why are you entangled?"
"Li Qi'er told me, and you still hide it from me......" Mrs. Yao said in a hurry, and it was too late for her to react.
Yao Tianxi was so surprised that he felt like a thunderclap exploded above his head, his face was pale, and he stood there motionless, with strands of cold sweat running down his spine. He didn't know how much Li Qi'er told his mother, he only knew that he and Ma Xiuying were finished, and he didn't care, just using this excuse to quit with Miss Chen, but what should Ma Xiuying do, not to mention that Mrs. Guo would not let go of Ma Xiuying, even his father would not give up. At this time, he could only hold on to the end, confused to the end, "Miss Ma and I are innocent, would my mother rather believe the words of a maid than her son?"
"Hmph!" Yao Zhenzhi called the housekeeper in, "You go and send Li Qi'er to the study for questioning, and by the way, call a few people to search Qingfeng Garden." ”
The housekeeper didn't dare to look at his young master's face, and bowed his head and withdrew. He knew that the old man asked him to search Qingfeng Yuan to find out the dog hole, and he didn't dare to send someone casually, so he personally led a few henchmen to do this.
The study suddenly fell silent, Yao Zhen didn't say a word, and looked at his son coldly; Yao Tianxi didn't squint and looked calm; Mrs. Yao was full of sadness and wanted to speak.
Li Qi'er entered the house and saw the posture of the three halls, her legs were weak, and she knelt down involuntarily.
"Tell me the truth, do the young master and Ma Xiuying have any personal affairs?"
Yao Zhenzhi's voice was not high, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Li Qi'er's ears on a sunny day, a trace of panic rose in her heart, and she secretly glanced at Yao Tianxi, her cold and indifferent eyes made her heart break, she trembled her teeth, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words, "I don't know......"
Mrs. Yao said angrily: "You, last time you said that the young master personally admitted that he liked Ma Xiuying. ”
"I've heard the young master mention Miss Ma...... I don't know if the young master likes Miss Ma or not. Li Qi'er trembled all over, at this time she had only one thought, she couldn't let Yao Tianxu dislike her, and she couldn't let Yao Tianxi drive her away.
Yao Tianxi's clenched fists slowly loosened, his stiff shoulders relaxed, and he explained in his usual calm and calm tone: "Maybe Shen Fu and his wife mentioned Miss Ma in front of me, and when Li Qi'er heard it, they thought I had a good impression of Miss Ma. ”
At this time, the housekeeper knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in Yao Zhenzhi's ear.
The study was so small, even if the housekeeper lowered his voice, Yao Tianxi still heard the words "no dog hole found", his mood became more and more calm, and even showed a shallow smile.
After waving off the housekeeper and Li Qi'er, Yao Zhenzhi's face was not as stern as before, and he softened his tone and said, "Then the Guo family is vulgar, you must not associate with such a person." You go to Chen's house tomorrow to explain it well, don't let Miss Chen misunderstand. Well, forget it, I'll go to the Chen family in person, finalize your marriage, and strive to marry Miss Chen in August, and everyone will have a Mid-Autumn Festival together this year. ”
"Father!" Yao Tianxi's face turned pale for a moment, and all his calm composure was shattered by Yao Zhenzhi's words.
"How long are you going to put it off? When you get married, these rumors will be self-defeating. Yao Zhenzhi didn't give Yao Tianxi a chance to defend himself, "I don't care what is going on between you and that horse girl, you remember, people like us can only marry innocent daughters, don't mention those messy women." ”
The pent-up anger gushed out, and Yao Tianxi's eyes were red with anger, "Since I was a child, you always asked me to do this, learn like that, I obeyed, and now you still have to force me with family affairs, I don't want to marry Miss Chen, I just want to live my own life!"
Yao Zhenzhi said coldly: "I can't help you, you are the son of the Yao family, you shoulder the family responsibilities, if you don't want to bear these responsibilities, you leave the Yao family, don't call me father!"
"Master!" Mrs. Yao covered her mouth, looking incredulous.
Yao Tianxi smiled miserably, ignored Mrs. Yao's dissuasion, and silently walked out of the study. When he went out, he saw the panicked Li Qi'er, he didn't even have the strength to blame her, he only said indifferently: "You go to Mrs., don't stay in Qingfeng Yuan in the future." ”
"Young Master!" Li Qi'er burst into tears, she didn't betray Ma Xiuying, did the young master still refuse to forgive her?
Yao Tianxi walked away without looking back, at this time, there was only one thought in his mind: If he left the Yao family, would Ma Xiuying still want to be with him?
