The old lady raised her head and stared at Xia Shijing, her gaze was not good.

The fourth nephew said that this was the grandson of the old thief woman, Xia Mingjing, who fell in the house, and also said that it was common for Xia Mingjing to secretly see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid at the back door when the little girl in the house was wearing an autumn-colored armor, with a round face and willow eyebrows that looked very eye-catching. ”

"Once he heard them say, 'After the deed is completed, I will give two thousand taels of silver', the last time I saw the little maid was a few days ago, Xia Mingjing shouted in his mouth, 'Your aunt hurt me, I won't do this anymore' The maid asked for a token, and he said directly, 'I have already changed the waist card for silver money'"

Then Xia Mingjing entered the house, and then threw the waist card into the well, fortunately the well was a dry well, the little guy climbed in and took it out, and gave it to the fourth nephew, and now the fourth nephew gave it to me, let me see if it came out of our house. ”

Xia Shijing served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Dali Temple, and when he heard the old lady say this, he vaguely understood the ins and outs of the matter in his heart, and couldn't help but be surprised, how could Ruyu do such a thing?

"Mother, could it be a mistake? I gave this waist card to Ruyu, what good can she do by doing this?" he subconsciously wanted to defend Yan's family.

The old lady snorted coldly and sneered: "You sue me, what went wrong in this matter? Is the waist card fake or was it framed by someone else? The fourth nephew and daughter-in-law have no grudge against her for a long time and no enmity for a long time, why do you want to frame her?"

"It's the Yan family, she has a good calculation, she thinks she has a body, and she forced Brother Che'er to go to Zongxue, so that you are disgusted with Brother Che'er, she can get a good brother if she has another brother, dream!"

Xia Shijing's eyes flashed, his palm clenched the jade plate, and he suddenly got up, "I'll ask clearly." ”

The old lady glanced at him coldly, "Your aunt is used to spilling and pretending to be pitiful, but this time it doesn't work, a few days ago she said that there was saffron in the tocolytic pill, and she sent Wanwan to serve her maid to beat half her life, and insisted on planting it for Wanwan, saying that Wanwan instructed the servant to harm the child in her womb, and then I asked people to search the house, and found half a box of red flowers in the house of her henchman, I thought that she was the person you liked, so I only changed the person in her yard." ”

"Today, the old state germinated and went to Mingyue Tower to smash the ornaments that the daughter-in-law gave to Aunt Zhao's house in the town, all of them are the daughter-in-law's own dowry, treasures, if it is not for you to make face, the daughter-in-law can use to take things from her own dowry? ”

"Think about it yourself, Brother Che'er has been smart since he was a child, if he knows that he was framed by your concubine, and you ignore it, what good will it do to Xia Mansion if the father and son are separated in the future?

Xia Shijing listened to Mrs. Xia's words, only felt chills all over her body, the person lying next to the pillow turned out to be a femme fatale, and he deceived himself into thinking that he had treated her badly.

He said in a deep voice: "Son is naturally provincial, let me ask to understand, she really did it, and I won't tolerate her!"

It's all at this juncture, and the son has to ask to understand, how can the slut admit it?

Thinking that she is going to be strong all her life, and when she is old, her son is actually like his old son, how can she swallow this breath? How can she close her eyes and go underground to settle the ledger with that slut?

The old lady angrily picked up the flowers on the table and threw them at him without looking.

"Do you want the entire Xia Mansion to be lost in the hands of that slut? Your son, you really don't care at all? How could I give birth to such an insignificant thing as you, you get out of here!"

The old lady was very angry, and just a few days after her illness, she began to cough and wheez.

The fingers twisting the Buddha beads trembled in the sleeves, looking like an old man in the last years of the wind and candles, helpless and pitiful.

Seeing him stunned, he pointed at him tremblingly, and his voice was weak.

"...... Get out of ......"

Xia Shijing looked at Mrs. Xia's gray sideburns in a daze, and suddenly remembered that in the early years, when their mother and son were dependent on each other, her mother also coughed like this and only had half a life left, but she dragged her sick and weak body to protect him thoroughly.

In a blink of an eye, my mother was already so old......

His heart was sour for a while, and he knelt at the feet of the old lady, and his voice was anxious: "Mother, don't be angry, it's all your fault, and then go and drop her, and when she gives birth to a child, let her go, and don't let her stain your eyes." ”

Mother Zhang hurriedly pulled the old lady's palm and rubbed it hard, until the old lady's coughing and wheezing were no longer so urgent, and she waved her hand.

“…… You're not a kid anymore...... There are some things that your mother doesn't need to worry about for you anymore... Mother doesn't want to see you unhappy... But think about it, how did you escape from Xinyang back then...... Do you want your son to follow you the same path?"

Every time he thinks back to those difficult years, his heart is full of indignation.

Thinking that his second son Brother Che has been smart since he was a child, not only does he look like him between his eyebrows and eyes, but his temperament is even more calm, he is such a proud son, and Brother Che'er's future was almost ruined, he can't help but be afraid.

Xia Shijing knelt on the ground, the corners of his eyes moistened, "Er knows that he is wrong, mother must take care of herself, and she will go to Xifeng Garden to settle accounts with her." ”

……

Yan was eating longan meat in the room, her eyes were stunned as she watched Qiaolan make the bed, and stuffed two soup women into the quilt, she supported her cheeks with her hands and stared at the early spring picture hanging on the wall in a daze.

Xia Shijing entered the room wrapped in a gust of cold wind, threw the jade plate in front of her without saying a word, and asked, "Why is the jade plate I gave you in Xia Mingjing's hand?"

Yan came back to his senses, picked up the jade plate in front of him and looked at it carefully, sure enough, it was the piece she put in Huitong Bank, and couldn't help but smile coldly.

"The master has already convicted me of my guilt in his heart, what else do you need to listen to me?"

Xia Shijing held his breath for a while, "Am I going to blame you for being wrong?"

Yan turned his head and said softly: "That's right, it's weird, I did it, is the master satisfied?"

She covered her lower abdomen and smiled bitterly, "In the end, I can't tolerate our mother and son, and I will be harmed by such a trip, isn't it just waiting to borrow the master's hand to eradicate our mother and son, and I also took a good concubine to the master, I have also come out of the house since I was a child, isn't this trick still unclear? ”

Xia Shijing had heard from the old lady that she was used to sprinkling and selling coquettishness, but at this time she was unmoved, and asked coldly: "You said that someone else harmed you, so how did your jade card flow out? Could it be that there will be thieves in the house? Today, the fourth brother and sister can say, the maid who interacted with Xia Mingjing has a round face and willow eyebrows, and is also wearing an autumn-colored bijia, except for Qiaolan next to you, who else often wears an autumn-colored bijia? And there is no other seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid in the house who is round-faced and willow-eyebrow, and you are still arguing here!"

Yan Shi said coldly: "How easy it is to find a similar person, since the master has already determined that it is me, no matter how I explain it, the master will not believe it, so let's treat it as if I did it." ”

Xia Shijing was greatly annoyed, she said this as if she was unreasonable, the recent bad things at home are all headaches, and in the yamen, at the end of the year, there are a lot of cases piled up to be closed, he will inevitably have omissions in his busy schedule, Dali Temple Qing Shen Du actually reprimanded him in front of all his colleagues, although it was a warning, but it did not leave a little thin face.

The unhappiness in his heart rose higher and higher, and when he spoke again, he lost his pleasant face as before, and pointed at Yan's and said bitterly: "I originally thought that you were kind and well-behaved, although you have a small temperament from time to time, and I owe you a lot, but I didn't expect you to be vicious, it was late before, and now it is Brother Che'er, you must make me happy after I die?" Such a femme fatale, I even take care of you as a treasure, I am really blind!"

Yan Shi sneered, looked at Xia Shijing, tears flashed in his eyes: "It's me who is blind, since I came out of the palace with my intentions, you have deceived me in every way, saying that I will definitely be promoted as a wife in the future, and I am willing to commit myself to you." ”

"But what about you, you let me work outside the house for seven years!"

"I finally entered the house, but I still have to see other people's faces, and I have to bear the abuse of the old lady at every turn, I also want face, if I hadn't been coaxed by you, how could I have given you the best years for nothing? Now you are tired of it, and it is all my fault for others to step on my face, and call me a femme fatale......

"Xia Shijing, you touch your conscience!"

Xia Shijing listened to her words, looked back angrily, and said viciously: "Okay, good, good, I have cherished you for so many years, and I have always valued you and put you first in everything, but now you have said such words, since you feel committed to me and regret it, then you will go by yourself when this child is born, I have no ability to keep you." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at her again, turned around and walked out, and the angry Yan smashed the porcelain plate with longan in his hand, and leaned over on the bed and burst into tears.

Xia Shijing heard her crying, she couldn't bear it, turned her head to look at her, but saw her with a white face, covering her stomach and exhaling pain, Chen's mother hurriedly brought a hand warmer over to cover her lower abdomen.

Shocked, he didn't care that he was still angry, walked up to her in a few steps, and said urgently, "What's wrong?

Her face turned white, her eyes were full of tears, she pursed her lips proudly, and he hurriedly said, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Chen!"

Yan couldn't see him like this, and he looked like he cared about it again, and mocked in his mouth: "Master doesn't have to be so coy, it's a hundred times if I die, the old lady of the province stumbles on me all day long, and you and I torture each other." ”

Xia Shijing frowned, he didn't care about her, he didn't care about her, he used to think that she was a little bit like her, but now that he looks at her like this, he can't help but get tired in his heart.

He sighed and simply tore the words away, "If you really think that it is torture in Xia Mansion, and when the child is born, you are not willing to stay in Xia Mansion, I will send you away." ”

Yan Shi heard such words and felt unbearable pain in his heart, and pushed him hard, tears like beads with broken threads, and choked up: "Now that you have a new person, you want to drive me away......"

Xia Shijing only felt that his head was as big as a fight, and he wanted to explain and appease her, but his mind flashed over his mother's old face, and he hardened his heart: "If you do such a thing, if you were put in someone else's house, you would have been sent to the family nunnery, I will treat you to the fullest extent, and you are still so obsessed, I have no choice but to do this." ”

Yan Shi realized that when a man was ruthless, he didn't care about half of his feelings, but it was ridiculous that she always thought that no matter what she did, he would protect herself, and her heart was completely cold.

The atmosphere in the room was very oppressive, except for the low sobs of Yan.

When Imperial Doctor Chen came, he noticed the low tone in the room and cautiously asked for the pulse.

This vein......

Imperial Doctor Chen only felt a buzzing in his brain.

He took it several times before he could believe it.

Took out the silver needle, put some blood on Yan's thumb, under the light, the color of the blood beads was red and black, and the black was faintly purple, and it was impossible to distinguish without looking carefully, Imperial Doctor Chen looked up to see Yan's expression......

Yan Shi was looking at him nervously, and asked in a loud voice, "Imperial Doctor Chen, is my body okay?"

Imperial Doctor Chen hated it in his heart, this Yan family had taken some forbidden medicine at all, and adjusted his pulse like a pregnant woman, but he didn't know a word, and he could still help hide it. Now that the effect of the medicine has dissipated, and her pulse has also recovered as before, how can he help her? Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but turn cold.

After a moment of silence, Imperial Doctor Chen said to Xia Shijing: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary wind and cold into the body, just pay attention to keep warm and drink some brown sugar water, Xia Guan has other emergencies, so I will leave first." ”

After speaking, he ignored Xia Shijing and Yan's retention, took the medicine box and walked straight away.

Xia Shijing only thought that he was in a bad mood today, so he didn't care, turned around and instructed Chen's mother, "Take good care of Ruyu, and raise the baby in the room with peace of mind these days, you don't have to come out if you have nothing to do." ”

Yan's expectations for him turned into ashes, and he lay on the bed and ignored him, until he left, and Chen's mother brought her brown sugar water, and she got up in good spirits, staring at the door and smiling bitterly, "A man's heart is really more changeable than the moon in the sky, my Yan Ruyu is stronger in my life, I didn't expect it to fold on a man." ”

Mother Chen has followed her for many years, sighed in her heart, didn't know how to comfort her, fed her a spoonful of brown sugar water, and coaxed: "Mrs. Aunt don't be sad, the master is just angry for a while, you can coax him in a few days, as long as the third master is in one day, you don't have to worry, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." ”

Yan knew in his heart that Xia Shijing was really angry this time.
