Chapter 42: It's a big deal to go back
"Master Hou is here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" The little girl came in and interrupted the old lady's explanation to Xue Wenhao.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and sat up straight, but her face was cold and indifferent: "This is really a rare thing, and I will come to my courtyard before the New Year's holiday." But she asked the little girl to put her sideburns together.
Xue Maoye, the old marquis of Guangping, strode in with a long face, didn't look at the old lady staring at him, put his robe on the top seat and sat down, and asked Xue Wenhao, who was making trouble with him, in a deep voice: "What kind of trouble have you made in the house, you actually provoked Jinyiwei, are you going to raid the family and destroy the clan!" ”
The old lady was very angry when she saw that he didn't have to look at herself at all, and she opened her mouth to accuse her son: "What if you raid your family and destroy your family, haven't you ever asked?" In addition to going to the theater with people all day long, it is in that foxy room, how can he be in charge of the affairs of this house, if it weren't for me......"
"Alright, alright!" Xue Maoye interrupted the old lady's words impatiently, "Who is Jinyiwei, the original King Jing and King Hui some time ago were all their hands, you still have the heart to talk about this now!" ”
The old lady endured her anger, and knew that now was not the time to fight for the long and short, so she said angrily: "Why else, isn't it the trouble that the third daughter-in-law, Shen, has brought back!" ”
Xue Wenhao whispered to Xue Maoye about the previous matter, Xue Maoye frowned and looked annoyed, and said angrily to the old lady: "If you weren't greedy for that idea to marry, why would you have caused these things!" ”
The old lady couldn't say what it would be like to come up at this time, she was thinking that Shen Ruohua was taken away by Jinyiwei, where was it possible to come back, and those dowries were not copied by Jinyiwei, it was better to receive them in her yard as soon as possible, and they would also be from the Hou Mansion sooner or later. But who would have expected that Shen Ruohua not only came back uneventful, but also involved Jinyiwei, and now he has fallen into this situation!
"If you hadn't had to settle this family with the Shen family in the first place, why would you have married such a scourge now!" The old lady was annoyed and angry for a while, and she was sad from it, thinking that she was also planning for the Hou Mansion, but she still had to be so wronged, "Poor Wen Hao was wronged and married her, it should have been ......"
Xue Maoye immediately stopped her: "If this family matter hadn't been decided at the beginning, would Shen Junru have interceded for us to return the title of this marquis's mansion?" Didn't you also have a Barbato to ask for a kiss! ”
He ran out of patience: "Now that Jinyiwei and the people of Shuntian Mansion are waiting, is it possible that you still want to make trouble to the point that everyone knows that the Marquis of Guangping is greedy for his daughter-in-law's dowry and goes to the court?" You go and tell her to send everyone away and send those dowries back to the third room! With that, he got up and brushed his sleeves away. Just now, he got the girl's report in Zizhu Courtyard, so he hurriedly got up from Xianglan's couch, and she was still waiting for it.
The old lady was so angry that she watched him open the curtain and go out, so she could only grit her teeth and say to Xue Wenhao: "You go with me to send those people away!" ”
In the flower hall next to the main hall, two brocade guards sat swaggeringly, eating the tea sent by the girls, and talking to the few servants of the Shuntian Mansion. Those few errand servants were not as comfortable as them, and sat a little stiffly, this was the Marquis of Guangping's mansion, but it was not a place where these little errand servants who were not in the flow could come in. Just looking at the two Jinyi guards who didn't care about it, they also had confidence in their hearts, and they had already quietly made their eyes and breathe with each other in private, since the Jinyi guards were involved in this matter, they naturally would not be afraid of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, why should they offend a living king like Jinyiwei, just follow and see.
When Xue Wenhao accompanied the old lady in, what he saw was that there were many people sitting in the flower hall, and the rhinoceros suits of the two brocade guards were particularly eye-catching, teaching her to can't help but have a flutter of eyelids, and she can't have a seizure, so she can only walk behind the screen and sit down.
Shen Ruohua had already come over, sitting behind the screen and looking down at his handkerchief, without saying a word, he looked docile, completely lost the momentum he had in Liqing Courtyard before, and saw that the old lady's teeth were itching, and she couldn't go up and slap her, it was all the trouble she caused!
Seeing that everyone was coming, the servants of Shuntian Mansion didn't dare to take it big after all, so they all got up and saluted the old lady behind the screen and Xue Wenhao, who was sitting on the upper seat: "Old lady, Lord Xue, the little ones are here because someone from your mansion has reported to the government office, saying that the dowry of the third lady in the mansion was forcibly robbed, and they came to take a look." His wording was a little difficult, but when Yao Tao came to report to the official, he made it clear, and said that the old lady of the Guangping Marquis Mansion forcibly robbed her daughter-in-law of the third lady to dowry. It's just that how easy he is to say this now, he has to write it vaguely.
Xue Wenhao held the teacup with a cold and arrogant face, and only after listening to him finish saying did he say coldly: "I have to thank you, it's just a family matter in the house, and there is no robbery, it's just a misunderstanding, and I ask you to go back and tell Lord Yin Luo of the mansion, and say that I will invite him to have a drink another day to express my gratitude." "If it weren't for the two brocade guards, these unpopular servants wouldn't even have the qualifications to talk to him!
The servants were a little embarrassed, after all, this was the Marquis of Guangping's Mansion, and the one in front of them was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and they didn't dare to come anyway.
"A few officials, since I asked the officials to report it, please go to my courtyard to inquire about it to see who forcibly snatched those dowries, so as to seek justice for me." Shen Ruohua suddenly opened his mouth, but the voice was weak and weak, as if he had been infinitely wronged, but he couldn't say it, he didn't dare to say it, he could only plead helplessly.
The two brocade guards put down the tea bowl lazily at this time, glanced at Xue Wenhao, who had a cold and solemn face, and said with a smile: "Since I came to testify, I naturally won't fool around, so I'll accompany you to see who is robbing property in broad daylight, is it possible that there is something greasy in this Guangping Marquis Mansion?" ”
The weight of these words was extremely heavy, the old lady's face turned white in an instant, Xue Wenhao's hand holding the tea bowl also shook, and he forced himself to put the tea bowl on the desk, and said: "It's just a misunderstanding...... but he couldn't say it anymore.
The old lady turned her head and glared at Shen Ruohua, seeing that she didn't look at herself, and looked down at her handkerchief, as if the things in front of her had nothing to do with her, she felt that her chest was clogged, this Shen family really hit the evil spirit, otherwise how could she have the courage to make things like this, and she didn't have any fear at all, what is the relationship between her and Jinyiwei, why do those two want to support her like this!
It's just that at this time, she didn't care about thinking about it anymore, and after glancing at Shen Ruohua fiercely, she softened her voice and said: "It's still my fault, but you all misunderstood." Originally, I saw that the third daughter-in-law was not in good health, and she had been sick all these days, and I was afraid that no one would help her take care of these, so I let people carry those cages to my yard, and I took care of it for her personally, and it was not too late to send her back when she was well. Who would have thought that she had misunderstood, and asked people to report to the official, so she worked hard for you to go through this experience. She stopped and spoke to Shen Ruohua very softly, "You kid is really a fool, you just misunderstood, you should come and ask me, I can still hide it from you, after all, I still think about it." Since you don't have anything to do with your body now, just have someone send them all back to your yard. ”
As she spoke, the old lady raised her head and was about to give an order, but she heard Shen Ruohua say in a clear voice: "Then ask a few people to be a witness for the old lady and me, and look at the dowry list to see if there are any mistakes and omissions, so as not to let people gossip." ”
