Chapter 3: The Traitor
Qingzhu was so angry that he ran out to beat someone, and he could still see the figure of his mother-in-law. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tao Xiushui didn't have the heart to think about anything else, ran straight into the house, and saw the man in front of him lying on the bed leisurely.
Seeing that she didn't open her eyes when she entered the house, this person .......
"You heard what the outsiders said! The guards will come to search for people in a while, what are you going to do?" Tao Xiushui has been carrying this heart since he heard about it.
The man doesn't care at all "you go to yours, don't worry about me, I have my own way"
Whoever cares about you, if she is not afraid of being affected by you, she will not care about this person's affairs.
Tao Xiushui gritted her teeth angrily, thinking for a while what to do if someone really wanted to search for this person.
I walked around the house and didn't find anything to hide.
Finally, he was not relieved, and looked at this person and continued: "If someone really wants to come in in a while, can you hide that?"
The man closed his eyes slightly, as if impatient, and stretched out his hand.
"There"
"Roof beams?"
"How?"
"Can you go up?" It is really suspicious that such a serious injury can still fly on the beams of the house.
"You don't have to worry about this"
Who cares about you, it's not that I'm afraid of being affected by you.
Tao Xiushui really wanted to yell, but he was afraid that Qingzhu would hear it, so he said angrily: "Take care of yourself!" Anyway, if we find out, we're both going to die."
Although she has been in contact with this person for a day, she feels that this person is not the kind of guy who says one thing and does another, this person is very arrogant and confident, he shouldn't leak himself!
Somehow, she actually believed this person a little, and she didn't have the idea of confessing to this person at all.
……
At this time, in the main room of the Tao Mansion, a slightly chubby lady with thin eyes and thin lips was pacing anxiously.
Mrs. Tao's family lives in the capital, the family has been in business for generations, and her father is a well-known wealthy businessman in the capital, Mr. Xu, and she is the second daughter of the family.
Because the Xu family has a distant relative, the official residence is from Sipin, and the family has a backer to help them, and they have been doing the rice grain business smoothly for many years.
At that time, it was also catching up with the Tao family to make a fortune, and the shops spread all over the country, among which the store set up in the capital happened to be next door to the Xu family, and the two families became neighbors.
At that time, the two old ladies came and went and somehow saw each other, and it was just in time for the death of the former wife of Master Tao for a year, and the second daughter of the Xu family was not so symbolic, so the two got married as soon as they discussed.
Mrs. Tao lives in the capital because her mother's family lives in the capital and has relatives from the official family, so this status has always been stable in the Tao family.
Just now I heard someone reply that the defenders of the city suddenly entered the house to search for people, and I was a little bold.
looked at the mother-in-law in front of him and said:
"Are these people searching for anyone?"
A low-eyebrow mother-in-law next to her whispered back: "I heard the guard and the master reveal that it seems that there is a traitor in the army."
"What does this traitor have to do with our family? What did they come to our house to search? This Baicheng is not big, it is not small, and it is not our Taofu family who lives, why don't other people's families search it"
"The master also went back like this, but the guard said that other people's houses had been searched in the morning, and only we were missing."
Mrs. was furious when she heard this, "Nonsense, the Xiao family, the Li family and our Tao family are one hundred and eighty zhang away, and I can't get down without a day's effort after searching that street, our Tao Mansion is almost in the streets and alleys of this street, he only took half a day to search all of these, and I don't believe it."
The mother-in-law on the ground hurriedly looked outside, "Madam, be quiet, see if you are heard"
"When I hear it, I hear it, we have to pile up a hill of silver for a year to manage our family's filial piety and defend the city, I can't imagine that these white-eyed wolves haven't been handed over, they are all unfamiliar things"
"Yes, yes, I fed the dog how much I took it" The mother-in-law hurriedly scolded in order to let her wife stop the fire faster.
Although Mrs. Tao scolded like this, she kept thinking about it in her heart.
A traitor, or a traitor in the army, looks at the sky and other people's homes must not be searched.
Could it be...... Did this traitor really run to Taofu?
Mrs. Tao was frightened and shouted:
"Mother Xu, go and call me all the young masters?"
Mother Xu was taken aback, and she was even more puzzled:
"Madam, the old man ordered just now, the old slave has already sent someone to call, and the young lady and the young master will be there in a while."
"What I'm saying is to be quick, you go quickly, and then send someone to call"
Although Mother Xu didn't understand anything, seeing that her wife was panicked, she turned around and left.
Mrs. Tao was panicked now, and she didn't know what to do, she was really afraid that this traitor was hiding at home, so how could her children be good.
That's a traitor, if he loses his nature, he will kill people when he sees them, and cut them down when he sees people, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Staying silent all night means that the man has not yet moved, and that he cannot annoy the traitor or provoke the man at the moment.
Seeing that Xu Ma walked to the door, she hurriedly shouted: "No, Xu Ma, come back, come back, don't go yet"
Mother Xu stopped in confusion and turned around again.
The eldest lady was so frightened that she was incoherent, "Just now you sent someone to inform everyone that everything is safe in each room?"
"Yes ma'am, nothing is wrong"
"Then don't go yet, I'm afraid that if this traitor is really hiding in Tao Mansion and provokes him, then our Tao Mansion will be finished."
Mother Xu was taken aback when she heard this, and then she thought of this, "Madam, are you afraid of this person......"
Mrs. Tao nodded in horror, "Yes, you secretly sent someone to inform the young lady and young master to come quickly" What she was most worried about was her pair of children, and the others had nothing to do with it.
After saying that, I regretted it, afraid that each room would know that it was not good to say it with my selfishness.
"Forget it, don't go, wait"
Mrs. Tao was anxious and circled around the house.
"Go and see if the master and the guard have finished speaking, and then go and see if the ladies are coming"
"Yes," Mrs. Xu said and was leaving.
"By the way, what's wrong with that dead girl, did the mother-in-law who went to call someone ask just now?"
The mother-in-law understood, and hurriedly replied: "I asked, saying that the girl is still very energetic, and she is pulling the dead grass in the yard with the girl!"
"What? Weeding! She's fine, I wouldn't have called her if I knew about it," Mrs. Tao said unconsciously in her heart, and glanced at her mother-in-law again after speaking.
Mrs. Xu didn't hear it, lowered her eyebrows, and didn't know how to answer.
"Forget it, let's go see the ladies first"
"Yes"
Mrs. Tao didn't have the heart to care about anything else at this time, and she was thinking about what to do if there was really a traitor in the army in Tao's mansion, if this person was in a hurry to do anything, then he didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"Mother, Mother,......"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law......"
Voices outside the door rang one after another.
"What's the matter with all the shouting," Mrs. Tao was shocked.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Xu, who went out, to come back and lead a few people into the house.
"Madam, it's the second lady, the third lady, and the eldest lady are here."
When Mrs. Tao heard her daughter coming, her heart fell, although there was still a younger son at home, but boys were better than girls.
A group of three people entered the house one after another.
Walking to the front was a young woman wearing garnet red placket pleats, this person was the wife of Tao Quan, the second master of Tao Mansion.
Xu looks to be in his thirties, with a petite stature, crystal clear eyes, and a cute and gentle southerner.
She is from the Jiangnan scholarly family, the family had a Jinshi in the early years, and then the children and grandchildren have been teaching, although the family is not rich, but it is also passable, although the status of Mrs. Tao is not high, but in the eyes of the mother-in-law also has a place.
Seeing the eldest lady anxiously asked, "Sister-in-law, what's going on outside, I heard that someone said that they wanted to search my yard"
"Yes, sister-in-law, what's going on?"
The third lady behind her also hurriedly asked, this maiden name is Tian, and she opened a dart game in a small town not far from here, although the place is not big, but it is very famous in that area.
The third lady is tall and tall, and she is the tallest among the concubines, and her face is also delicate, but her temperament is not very pleasing, she is a little stunned, and she speaks a few points taller than several people.
The eldest lady frowned when she heard the voices of several people, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be bold, wait for the master and the guards to finish talking before making a decision"
The third lady took it and slapped the table, "I think she dares to search my yard?"
The second lady covered her mouth and smiled, "I know that your mother's family is a dart game, but I don't know that I think your family is a martial arts gym!" I haven't asked you what you're excited about."
These two concubines are very good, and they usually like to make jokes.
The eldest lady didn't like it when she heard it, and she was already bold, but now when she saw that the two were closer than her, she felt even more uncomfortable.
said with a bad face: "There is nothing you are anxious about now, and if you say it, even if there is anything, my master is in charge."
The third lady knew that her master couldn't speak in the Tao family, but she also came to ask because she was worried, but she didn't expect the sister-in-law in front of her to say this, and said with a sneering face:
"Since there is a big brother in charge, then listen to the big brother, I'm really blind ****"
The second lady saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly played a round, "Sister-in-law, don't blame us for coming over and talking too much, aren't we worried?"
"I know you're kind, but now that the master hasn't come out, I don't know what the situation is"
Mrs. Tao began to shake her face in a weird way.
The third lady couldn't hold her face, and said on that side: "Since the eldest brother is in charge of this matter, and we don't have to worry about it, then we don't care, second sister-in-law, let's go!"
At this time, Tao Xiumei, the last lady to come in, was silent, she also wanted to ask what the situation was, at this time, seeing that her mother and the two aunts were about to fall out, she hurriedly played a round:
"Mother, the aunts are also guts, those guards are going to turn the house upside down, and it will be difficult for you to manage the housekeeper in the future, and it won't be very good to spread out, isn't it, second aunt, third aunt"
Mrs. Tao saw her daughter speak for her, her face looked better, others didn't give face, and her daughter's face still had to be given, so she had to ask her mother-in-law to say what she just said.
A few people were shocked when they heard this, what? Traitor? What kind of traitor is hiding in the house?
