Xie Liangying's late-night visit to her mother did not surprise her too much. In the end, she is her daughter, even if she was unhappy a few days ago, but she claimed that she was unwell for dinner and didn't use it, Yan would still be distressed to come and see.

This may be the so-called mother's heart. No matter how bad the children are to themselves, they will still be willing to pay.

Xie Liangying herself had never given birth to a son and a half daughter for Xue Jian, so she couldn't understand this. can look at some of the women who have given birth around me, but I can roughly appreciate the taste.

However, thinking of the truth that Mama Lian and Qingqiu confided just now, Xie Liangying's mouth raised a sneer again.

is really a fist and mother's love, and she stole something from her daughter's room to make face for herself.

Xie Liangying admits that she is not an unreasonable person, but Fan Yan is willing to inform her and talk about the current difficult situation of the Xie family. Needless to say, Yan will take the initiative to take out valuable things and appoint them. It's a serious thing for everyone to work together to get through the difficulties.

Acting like this now is really disgusting in the hearts and eyes. No wonder the grandmother of the Xie family looks down on the Yan family as a clan wife.

Yan had a forced smile on his face, and followed Bai Xiu behind him to carry a three-layer food box. She didn't want to come over, but since she was beaten by Xie Liangying last time, she has become more and more unkind to this eldest daughter who has no feelings. But at dinner, Xie Lezhi, the third son of the Xie family and the third master, spoke. Is it because the Yan family is unhappy in his heart, or he brings food to see Xie Liangying.

This time, you can't just like not giving Bai Xiu face just now, and close the courtyard door to prevent people from coming in. Qing Xia personally went to open the door and welcomed Yan in.

As soon as Yan arrived at the main house, he couldn't help but be taken aback when he looked at Mama Lian and Qingqiu with tears and snot on their faces. Xie Liangying is usually very good to these two people who serve her closely, and she herself is not the kind of person who beats and scolds her subordinates at will. What's going on today? Could it be that he really changed his personality after taking a nap that day?

Yan didn't immediately ask the reason for the incident, but said to Xie Liangying first: "You didn't use your dinner, your father has always remembered you in his heart, and he is worried that he will starve you." She motioned to Bai Xiu to open the food box, and the three dishes and one soup in it were still hot, "I just asked the small kitchen to make it for you, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

said as if he hadn't seen the tragic situation of Lian Mama and Qingqiu at all. But the drum beat in my heart. She was a thief, and she guessed at once whether she secretly made the two of her steal discovered by Xie Liangying. However, looking at Xie Liangying's kind attitude towards herself, she felt that the incident had not happened yet. Otherwise, Xie Liangying's temperament that can't hide things would not have fallen out with him when he first entered the courtyard.

Xie Liangying saw the turbulent surge in Yan's heart, whether the two have been mother and daughter for decades, they still have a good temperament with each other. Both of them are people who can't hide their hearts and will show them on their faces. But although she saw it and guessed what it was for, Xie Liangying didn't pay much attention to it, and only cared about eating by herself.

Lian Mama and Qingqiu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the mother and daughter, but they only thought that they were in trouble, as if the picture presented in front of them was not Yan accompanying Xie Liangying to eat, but in the public court, Fu Yin was discussing with his staff what crime to convict him. The more I thought about it, the more cold I became, and I couldn't help but sit on the ground, and I didn't dare to make a sound.

Yan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity, and took this opportunity to ask, "Ah Ying, what did Mama Lian and Qingqiu do?" How can I see that both of them are wounded? ”

But isn't it, even Mama has blood stains on her forehead, and there are abrasions on her face from being touched by bricks. Qingqiu also had blood stains on his forehead. But the wound is not big, it has long since dried, and it just looks horrible.

Xie Liangying used to stop eating, she took tea from Qingxia's hand and rinsed her mouth, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Yan: "I'm still angry when I talk about this." I wanted to take the Duobao Yingluo that my grandmother gave me to see if it matched the new autumn clothes sent a few days ago, but she somehow couldn't find it. It's clearly written in the booklet, but Curry has rummaged through it but there is no one. With that, he turned to the two of them and said sharply, "Now that Madame is here, you still don't tell the truth?!" If you really want me to tie you up and take you to the officials, you can't do it. ”

Yan took too many things from Xie Liangying, and there was no list to compare, so he couldn't remember whether he had sold it by himself or not, his heart was anxious, and his face couldn't help but flush.

Xie Liangying said this just to test the Yan family, she couldn't tell whether what Lian Mama and Qingqiu said was true or false. Yan's expression now confirmed their words.

Yan didn't know that Lian Mama and Qingqiu had already confessed to themselves, so they thought about beating them up before the war spread to them. Without a witness, even if Xie Liangying knew in the future, she would not be able to accuse herself, she could push four, five or six, pretending that she didn't know about it, and accusing Xie Liangying of not being strict.

Thinking of this, Yan slapped the table and glared at Lian Mama and Qingqiu angrily, "The two of you have one key and one booklet, it is obvious that the inside and outside have done such things, stealing the things of the master's house to exchange for dirty silver." Then I will send them to search, and I will find out of your room. When the time comes, the physical evidence will be there, and it will be interesting to see if you dare to refute it. ”

Xie Liangying sneered in her heart, dirty silver can naturally be found. There is food, shelter and clothing in the house, unless there is prostitution, gambling and alcoholism, the next person does not have to spend a lot of money, can he save money? Even Mama and Qingqiu shared the spoils, and there were twenty or thirty taels of silver for one person, according to their one-and-a-half-month penny share, how could they get so much silver, and it naturally became the dirty silver in Yan's mouth. She had long thought that if the Yan family did it, she would definitely have the heart to destroy her mouth, so she prepared early.

Mama Lian is a smart person, and with a flash of inspiration in her mind, she thought of the Duobao Yingluo that Xie Liangying said in her mouth when she appeared when she was dealing with things. She pinched Qingqiu, who was stunned beside her, and howled loudly: "Madam, girl Mingjian, I have worked in the Xie family for many years, and I have never stolen a penny from the Xie family." Such a big injustice must be snowing in June. ”

Qingqiu didn't know what was going on, but she only knew how to cry.

Yan was unmoved, and insisted on letting Bai Xiu take someone to search the house.

Bai Xiu didn't know about it, and because of Yan's thoughts, the less people knew about such a disgraceful thing as stealing, the better. However, she has always had a good relationship with Qingqiu, and she intends to intercede for them at this moment, "Madame, don't be busy, maybe there is a misunderstanding in the middle......"

Yan glared at her, "What a mouth!" ”

Bai Xiuden didn't dare to speak, but he didn't want to go, and he didn't want to stay.

Xie Liangying took advantage of the Yan family's competition with Bai Xiu to secretly give Qing Xia a look. Qingxia understood, and went to the couch to rummage - the things had not yet been returned to the warehouse, and they were still spread out on the couch. After a while, she took an ebony box and handed it to Xie Liangying, "Girl, what you said is this?" ”

Xie Liangying glanced at it, took it happily, and said with a smile: "That's it, or you did it properly, and you found it as soon as you looked for it." ”

Bai Xiu took this opportunity to say to Yan: "Madam, it's not uncommon for grandma to be old and sometimes can't remember clearly. Qingqiu is also an inappropriate person. Glaring at Qingqiu as he spoke, "Madame, look at the couch, there are so many things, all of them are boxes stacked on top of each other, and they can't tell the difference between them and slaves." I'm afraid that I just missed it, and there was a misunderstanding. ”

Xie Liangying held the box and looked at Mama Lian and Qingqiu embarrassedly, "It's all my fault, I'm too anxious, and I punished indiscriminately without figuring it out."

Yan had no reason to punish Mama Lian and Qingqiu, and he was very uneasy. Her mind was not on Xie Liangying, and she didn't hear what her eldest daughter said, so she only said, "That's good." It's just that you have to remember that you must not act like this again in the future, Mama and Qingqiu have served you for many years, if it is those people who are not suitable, how can my mother arrange it by your side. Our Xie family is a poetic heirloom, although you are a woman, you must also remember the sage's words of gentleness and frugality, and you must not be reckless. Got it? ”

Xie Liangying nodded obediently and sent the Yan family, who didn't know where his mind was drifting, all the way out of the courtyard.

Mama Lian's hands were clenched into fists, and her palms were full of sweat. She knew that this was the meaning of her own girls not to care about them, but she was afraid that her wife would kill them. She set her eyes on Xie Liangying, who was laughing with Yan. There are dead ends on the left and right, and I don't know if I can survive in danger and fight a way out if I follow the girl with all my heart.

Close the courtyard door, lock it, it's time to turn off the lights and rest.

Xie Liangying dismantled her hair and changed into clean clothes under Qingxia's service. She looked at the two people standing behind her from the mirror, and said, "What to do, you should already know it in your hearts." In the future, my mother will ask you to take things over, and I will just give them to me. After thinking about it, she turned to look at them, "Mama just mentioned that my mother took all the gold ornaments to melt, do you know which gold shop it was?" The Duobao that was dismantled and sold, in which pawnshop did it come from? Who's in charge of this? Do you know the inside story? ”

Lian Mama thought for a while and said, "The gold shop belongs to the uncle's master's family, so that there is a seal in the palace on it, and it is not safe to go to other houses." Some of those treasures were given away, but Tai Ban still sent them to the pawnshop. In order to avoid people's eyes, the ladies are not all in the same family, and they are often changed. Most of the things that are taken out are the dowry of the wife, and it is not fixed for someone to go. ”

Xie Liangying looked at Mama Lian meaningfully, "Mama often serves me here, how can she know so well about the affairs of my mother?" ”

Mama Lian's face was a little pale, "The old slave originally wanted to take advantage of helping Madame to transfer to Madame's side, there is more oil and water over there." ”

Xie Liangying nodded and waved her hand to signal them to go down.

Qingxia helped Xie Liangying to the bed, extinguished the candles one by one, and left only one on the table. She took the lamp, and was just about to go out to keep vigil when she was stopped by Xie Liangying.

Xie Liangying's bed was leaning against the window, and the big moon was clearly visible outside. The moonlight shone on Xie Liangying's face, and with her long hair, she looked like a fairy who came to the world at night, innocent and innocent.

"I won't do you any wrong." Xie Liangying looked at the bulging purse that Qingxia put on the table and said softly.

Qing Xia gave her a blessing and went out with the lamp.

This night, one master and one servant sleep well.

But on the other end, Yan turned over and over again and didn't close his eyes all night. Xie Lezhi has been staying up all night in the study for political affairs, and he doesn't know what his wife is worried about.

Early the next morning, after the Yan family washed hastily, he rushed ahead of everyone and went to his aunt to say goodbye to the first one.
