Chapter 646: Tell the Truth
Mrs. Quan's gossip and homely way of speaking made Haitang sit on pins and needles, uncomfortable, she and Mrs. Quan Si did not have a friendship that could chat about the past, not to mention that it was not suitable to say these words now, Mrs. Quan Si must have something important to say, and now these are just foreshadowing.
Sure enough, after recalling the past for a while, Mrs. Quan suddenly put away her smile and sighed: "Telling you this, you must think that I am very pretentious, since I miss the country life so much, why don't you go back?"
"No...... No. Haitang whispered, but she didn't know what to say, she had to say too much, for fear that she would fall into the hands of Mrs. Quan Si and lead to any topics, but it was not good not to answer a word.
Seeing that Begonia was so uneasy, Mrs. Quan Si finally got to the point and said seriously: "Begonia, I can understand what you are doing now, who doesn't want to live some comforting days, even if it is bitter, it is a blessing to be safe, but have you ever thought that you can really be safe if you avoid the countryside?"
Begonia lowered her head and did not speak.
Mrs. Quan Si continued: "There are some places in the countryside, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the ruffians and village tyrants are everywhere, you are a girl's family, you have no relatives and no reason, is it really safe to rush to such a strange realm?
"The Xue Niang family are all good people. Haitang listened to the fourth wife, who seemed to have insulted Xue Niang, and couldn't help but defend herself.
"I didn't say that Xue Niang's family is bad, it's just that there are always times when this person can't help himself. Mrs. Quan Si was a little helpless, and after a pause, she asked, "Think about it carefully, these days, is there anyone who treats you badly?"
Haitang bit her lip slightly, still didn't speak, she didn't know what to say, she was a little singer, she could come out of the cage of the palace, and there was a hope in life, which was a great creation for her, and she couldn't think of it before, so she couldn't say that anyone was bad to her, but she had experienced so much, and someone who was no longer naïve would treat her well for no reason.
Mrs. Kwon shook her head lightly and sighed again, " Earlier, I also had the same idea as you, I just wanted the family to be safe, so at that time I left Yancheng with my family, wanting to avoid this chaos, but I didn't expect that there was more chaos outside, the chaos and bandits were everywhere, I had encountered, a good village, the land is fertile, the village people are industrious, the sun rises and the sun sets and rests, living a simple and happy life, but one day, I don't know where hundreds of homeless people came, everyone was ragged and hungry, the village was robbed overnight, a village of people had nothing, and they also became homeless, that tragic situation, and the war is almost the same, Yancheng is the Kyoto of the Great Zhou, and the feet of the Son of Heaven are still like this, not to mention other placesDon't be naïve, there is no paradise in this world. ”
When Mrs. Quan Si spoke, Haitang kept her head down, and waited for Mrs. Quan Si to stop, and after a while, Begonia raised her head and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, but Haitang is a hard-working person, lonely and helpless all her life, even if it is difficult in the future, Haitang will accept her fate." ”
"Accept ......your fate," Mrs. Quan Si chuckled, "As a woman, I always like to sigh that my life is hard, and many men in the world are also very difficult, but few men say that their lives are hard, why? Just because most men rely on themselves, people like us who can't rely on men, we can only rely on ourselves in everything, and if we don't try to strive for a better life, don't blame ourselves for their hard lives, it's not that I said you, if you want to rely on others to live, why don't you just find a honest and honest person to marry? ”
Haitang knew that there were some things that could not be argued with Mrs. Quansi, so she was silent again.
"Fourth wife......" The little maid hurriedly called outside the door.
Mrs. Quan Si frowned, and after the little maid came in, she asked, "What's the matter?"
The little maid just wanted to say, but when she looked at the begonia, she was a little taboo.
Mrs. Quan Si said lightly: "Haitang is not an outsider, let's talk about something directly." ”
The little maid replied tremblingly: "It was Mama who asked the slave maid to find the fourth wife, saying that there was a lady surnamed Gao who wanted to see the fourth wife, but she refused to leave her name, and she didn't say which one's high price, only that she talked to the fourth lady in the tea house not long ago, and was waiting for you in the old place...... In addition, Mama also said that something seemed to be wrong in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion, and the people from the Yancheng Mansion blocked the Hou Mansion, saying that they wanted to investigate the death of the fifth lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. ”
"Alright, I see, let's go down. Mrs. Kwon waved her hand unhurriedly.
The little maid slowly retreated.
"Fourth wife, what should I do now?" Haitang's face was a little pale, and the little maid said a little vaguely, but in connection, she guessed that the so-called Mrs. Gao must be Gao's, could it be true as she expected, Mrs. Quan really instigated Gao's to do something, and now that the East Window incident has happened, the government is alarmed, what can I do?
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Kwon Si didn't seem to understand.
Haitang said anxiously: "Fourth wife, Mrs. Gao mentioned by the maid just now, is it the maid's family of the second wife of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion that we saw last time? She is waiting for you in the tea house now, I am afraid that the government will find something? How can this be good, Lord Zhu of the Yancheng Mansion has always been very good at judging cases, but I am afraid of ......"
"What are you afraid of, or what do you think they will find?" Mrs. Quan Si smiled, suddenly realized, "It turns out that you want to leave in a hurry, you are afraid of this, you really misunderstood." ”
Haitang looked at Mrs. Quan Si and didn't speak, people who didn't kill would directly admit to killing, and Mrs. Quan Si naturally wouldn't admit it easily, but she really didn't think that things were so coincidental, Gao's panic had already said something.
Mrs. Quan Si explained slowly: "Last time, you were also there, and you could hear every word clearly, did what I said violate the king's law?"
Haitang thought carefully, that day, Mrs. Quan Si did just ask the Gao family to find a way to persuade Miss Rong Wu's mother, You Shi, and let them think of a way to push this family business, and there was really nothing harmful about anything else, but maybe there were some extraneous voices that she didn't hear, and maybe Gao had misunderstood and made some decisions without authorization.
Not wanting to participate in these anymore, Haitang hesitated for a moment and said, "Fourth wife, the maid said that the Gao family is waiting for you, don't you go and see it first?"
Mrs. Quan Si took a sip of tea unhurriedly, put down the teacup, and said: "What do you see? I have always had a shallow relationship with this Gao family, and now on the cusp of this storm, if I go to see her in a hurry, I will misunderstand others and add to the incident." (To be continued.) )
