230: Confrontation
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, and then showed a sneer.
Father will come to Ruoya Pavilion at this time, obviously for Xia Wen.
But the person in front of him just pretended to be nothing, which was really ridiculous.
"What's going on?" Xia Fucheng frowned, and then comforted Xia Wen with a faint smile: "Good boy, let's talk about it when we enter the house." ”
Li's brows furrowed, she didn't talk to Xia Fucheng, and went into the house alone.
Xia Ruan followed behind the Li family.
Xia Wen's room was in chaos, the dishes on the table had not yet had time to be removed, and the hanging white silk was still hanging on the beams.
Li's face was a little ugly.
Ai Ye hurriedly tidied up the room and helped Li to sit down slowly.
After Xia Fucheng and Xia Wen came in, Xia Fucheng's eyes fell on Bai Aya, and he was slightly surprised: "What the hell is going on?" Girl, how could you do such a thing? ”
Xia Wen wiped away her tears, and at the same time pulled Xia Fucheng's clothes aggrievedly, and said aggrievedly: "Second uncle...... Don't blame the third cousin, it's all my Wen'er's fault. Wen'er is blessed and can't ...... I can't be with you anymore. ”
Li Shi rolled his eyes, how did this matter have something to do with his daughter again?
"Nonsense." After Xia Fucheng sat down, he whispered to Xia Wen, "Tell the second uncle, what's wrong?" Silly girl, you are not small anymore, how could you do such a stupid thing. If you let me be under the Yellow Spring in the future, what face will I have to meet your parents? Alas......"
Xia Wen stood beside Xia Fucheng, trembling like a little beast.
Her appearance was a little miserable. His hair was messy, and his clothes were stained with water. A pair of beautiful big eyes, full of tears at this time.
Xia Wen didn't speak, but just tightened Xia Fucheng's clothes.
Xia Fucheng was a little surprised, he looked inside the room, and then said to Mother Wan behind Xia Wen: "Mother Wan, what's going on?" Tell me about it. ”
Mother Wan hurriedly knelt on the ground, looked at Xia Wen, and her voice trembled a little: "Old slave...... The old slave didn't dare to say it. ”
Xia Ruan sat on the side, looking at Mother Wan slightly stunned.
At this time, Mother Wan was not at all like a woman in the countryside. So what is the identity of Mother Wan? This person wanted to do something by Xia Wen's side. Came to Xia's house these days. Mother Wan has always been very responsible, and people can't see a clue.
She is cautious in her work, but for Xia Ruan, it is the strangest place.
Steward Wang said that Mother Wan was from the vicinity of Zhuangzi. But a countryman has never served anyone. How can you understand these etiquette?
I still remember when Xia Wen took Mother Wan to see her. Whether Mother Wan salutes or answers her words, she can't find half a flaw. It's like an old lady who has been serving people in the house for many years.
What surprised Xia Ruan the most was that she could make her feel something similar to Mama Zhu in Mother Wan's body.
"Why don't you dare to say it? This is the Xia family, I am the master of the Xia family, I let you talk about it, and you will talk about it well. Xia Fucheng turned his head and glanced at Du Lan, "Du Lan, it's a little cold in the house, go add some charcoal, how do you serve Miss Four?" Fourth Miss is frozen, see that I don't punish you heavily. ”
Xia Fucheng's tone was a little unkind, and Du Lan, who listened, was stunned, and then Du Lan nodded: "The slave knows." ”
After Duran finished speaking, he hurried to the edge of the brazier in the southwest corner, picked up the tongs on the side, and put a few more pieces of charcoal in the brazier.
Xia Fucheng nodded with satisfaction and continued to look at Mother Wan, "I want to see who dares to bully Wen girl today." ”
Li was slightly displeased, Du Ruo and Du Lan were the most favored maids around Xia Ruan, Xia Fucheng asked Du Lan to add charcoal, just to make a show for Wan's mother. When the husband did this, he was nothing more than a slap in the face to his daughter...... She knows this about the Xia family.
Compared with what the Xia family thought before, it was almost a heaven and an underground.
The Xia family can have today's status because her daughter can do business.
The change in her husband is not good news for Lee.
She listened to everything her father said to her husband that day. Finally, after her husband left, her father said something to her, which Li still remembers.
Father said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, Xiaoyue, if you have to make a choice one day, Daddy hopes that you will choose the right one." This sachet is given to you, and you will definitely use it when the time comes. ”
Li Shizhan took the sachet from his father's hand with a shudder, but his heart was a little cold.
She knew she couldn't dodge, and she had to choose this choice herself.
Thinking of this, Li smiled bitterly.
Looking up at Xia Fucheng's handsome face, that person seemed to be as radiant as before.
Even if he can't walk on his legs, it doesn't affect what is in his heart.
Mother Wan knelt on the ground, her head couldn't be lowered: "Fennel, Fennel hit Miss Four." ”
After Mother Wan finished speaking, Fennel quickly knelt on the ground, she shook her head and argued: "Master, the slave doesn't dare to ...... How dare the slave and maid beat the fourth miss, it was the fourth miss who cursed the third miss and the little master day and night. A few days ago, Miss 3 saw that Miss 4 was impetuous, and kindly persuaded Miss 4. At that time, the fourth lady did not refute half a sentence in front of the third lady, and when she came back, she threw the tea cup on the slave maid, saying that she wanted to sell the slave and maid to the kiln...... Because slaves and maidservants ...... The slave maid used to be the maid ring next to the fourth lady. ”
Fennel talked about Xia Ruan again.
After she finished speaking, she was afraid that Xia Fucheng would not believe it, so she kowtowed hard to Xia Fucheng.
The forehead hit the marble heavily, and soon the front of the fennel was a little red and swollen.
Mother Wan's eyes widened, and she was a little unwilling: "Miss Fennel, how can you wronged Miss Fourth so much." These days, the fourth lady copied Buddhist scriptures day and night, just asking the Buddha to keep the Xia family peaceful. But you ...... Master, the old slave dared to ask, how much is the monthly silver of the fennel girl? ”
Xia Fucheng naturally didn't know this, he looked up at Li Shi suspiciously.
"Two taels of silver." Li said lightly on the side, "I remember that she still has a baby sister." Therefore, the monthly silver was given a little more. ”
Mother Wan raised her head and looked at Xia Ruan: "The old slave dared to ask the third lady, have you ever rewarded fennel with three hundred taels of silver?" ”
Fennel listened to Mother Wan's words, and her face turned pale.
How did Mother Wan know this?
She got a lot of silver from Nan Jianchun, and a few days ago, Pingyang Hou and Xiao Anli begged to see her, and they gave her a lot of silver every time. She saved up the money for the dowry when she got married......
Fennel actually thought a long time ago that she couldn't serve by Xia Ruan's side for the rest of her life.
The Lord seems to have lost confidence in her, all because she followed Xia Wen's side.
If she had served by Xia Ruan's side as before, perhaps the Lord would not have given up on her.
Fennel naturally has a grudge against Xia Wen. But she hates Xia Wen again. I didn't dare to do anything to Xia Wen. A few days ago, she saw someone in the kitchen buy laxatives and came back, she wanted to add some to Xia Wen's meal, but then she was afraid that Xia Ruan would find out. I can only do it.
Fennel vaguely felt that something was wrong. Could it be that Mother Wan ......
"Nope." Xia Ruan thought for a while before answering softly. "How?"
Mother Wan stared at Fennel tightly and said, "The bracelet on Miss Fennel's hand was bought back with ten taels of silver in Jinyuxuan in Xicheng. The hairpin on the head of the fennel girl is a hairpin made of fine sandalwood. Miss Four also took a fancy to such a hairpin in the past, but the store said that it would cost two taels of silver, and Miss Four was reluctant to buy it back...... A few days ago, the third lady took pity on the old slave and fennel, and gave the old slave and fennel ten taels of silver each. However, when the old slave gave the silver to the fennel, the old slave saw that there were several hundred taels of silver on the fennel's table. ”
As soon as Mother Wan's voice fell, Xia Fucheng secretly gasped.
A few hundred taels of silver?
Where did a girl get so much silver?
Xia Fucheng looked at fennel and thought for a while.
Fennel trembled violently, and she didn't know how to refute it at the moment.
When the Lord asked her to come to Xia's house, he warned her not to let people grab the little handle.
She has been doing very well these days, and Xia Ruan and Li believe in her very much...... She originally thought that she could easily get the secret that the Lord wanted from Xia Ruan's body, but she didn't expect that she would be sent to Xia Wen's side to serve in the end.
The Lord gave up her pawn.
She wants to find a way for her future.
If she wants to live a good life in the future, she needs a lot of silver, a lot of silver......
It's just that how could Mother Wan know these things, Mother Wan has never seen the place where she hides the silver.
Fennel thought about the place where she hid the silver for a while, and said boldly: "The slave's bracelet and hairpin are relics left by the mother, and the slave and maid do have twenty taels of silver, which is the slave and maid's hard work in the past year, and the slave and maid save these silver for the white vine." The slave is just such a sister...... Mother Wan, you said that I have a hundred taels of silver, dare to ask where is this silver? ”
Mother Wan smiled faintly: "Wouldn't you know if you searched the fennel girl's house?" ”
Fennel knelt down and walked to Xia Ruan's side, crying: "Fennel begs Miss to search the slave's house, and begs Miss to give Fennel innocence." ”
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows and glanced at his father, and said lightly: "Father, look? ”
"Search." Xia Fucheng didn't think about it, so he said to Duran, "Dulan, you take Ai Ye to search the house...... The six sons also went. ”
Fennel looked at Mother Wan's smug look, trembling with anger, she said to Xia Fucheng: "Master, if the slave's house does not have this silver, then ......"
Fennel is confident in where she hides her silver, so she is not afraid of people searching her house.
But her house can't be searched for nothing, if Mother Wan can't find the silver, then Mother Wan must be punished.
Xia Fucheng obviously didn't expect Fennel to speak like this, he was slightly stunned, and smiled: "If I don't find this silver, I will drive Mother Wan to the outer courtyard." ”
Fennel naturally didn't expect Xia Fucheng to be so partial to Mother Wan, she turned her head to look at Xia Ruan.
I saw Xia Ruan holding a tea cup, as if he was outside, looking at everything in the room. (To be continued......)
