Chapter 7: Farewell
"I didn't think you were stupid."
The man's gentle voice came from the room, and Xiao Ling, who was standing in the doorway, waved at the scribe, who stopped.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Ling walked over and asked in a low voice.
"Letter from the capital." The scribe said, shaking the letter in his hand.
Xiao Ling sighed.
"Say no more faith." She chuckled and gestured to the room, "We're arguing because of this letter." ”
Quarrel?
The scribe looked inside.
"It's good to quarrel, it's boring to be idle." He smiled and put the letter away, "No hurry, I'll come back tomorrow." ”
……………………………………………
"Then why don't you say it directly, do you want me to talk to Shao Mingqing alone?" Xie Roujia said, looking at the king of Dongping County who was sitting opposite, "What are you going to do if you have a letter?" ”
The king of Dongping County couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm used to being polite." "I didn't be honest with you," he said. ”
"That's right, what you can be honest about, why are you telling this lie, can't we speak alone if you don't avoid it?" Xie Roujia said.
"Yes, of course." The king of Dongping said, "It's me who treats you like someone else, and treats you like someone else." ”
Right!
Xie Roujia watched him exhale.
"Your Highness, let's talk about it, no one needs to make anyone uncomfortable, if you have anything to say, don't be polite." She said, "You're too much of an outsider, and you're looking down on me too much." ”
"Yes. It's me who has seen the outside. Dongping Junwang said, "I won't do this next time." ”
Xie Roujia stared at him for a moment.
"Liar!" She said again.
The king of Dongping County smiled.
"No, I don't lie to you." He said.
"And what are you doing now?" Xie Roujia said, "You're lying to me now, you're not seeing outsiders at all, you're just kind." ”
After that, he stood up a little stupidly.
"It's me who is making trouble."
The smile of the king of Dongping County spread.
"You're not making trouble, you know that I'm kind, so you're here to question." He said, "Miss Roujia wants me to know that you understand my good intentions, and I think this is honesty. ”
Xie Roujia looked at him and sneered again.
"Anything is a big truth in the mouth of His Highness." She said. Walked back again. "Then let me ask Your Highness, why did you tell my grandfather and fifth uncle that I had an affair with you first?"
"Compared with repaying the gratitude, I think that the mutual affection of the two can make the relatives who care about you feel more at ease." Dongping County King said.
Xie Roujia raised her eyebrows.
"Oh, you're misleading them by saying that. Didn't they themselves listen to you and misunderstand? She asked.
"Of course. Although many times the speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. But most of the time there is no wind and no waves. The king of Dongping said, "My words are indeed deliberately guided. ”
Speaking of this, he smiled again.
"You can't lie, Miss Roujia isn't stupid, why can't you see it."
This was in line with his answer to her question.
Xie Roujia sneered.
"Did you drink too much?" She asked suddenly. "Can't you drink?"
The king of Dongping County was stunned.
Why did you say that you were drinking again?
A child's mind is really erratic.
"No, a little." He said, and as soon as he spoke, a small white finger reached out in front of his eyes.
"It's all red here." Xie Roujia said, "How much have you drunk?" ”
King Dongping smiled.
"Not much, I just drank and got on my face." "Actually, it's fine. ”
Xie Roujia sighed and looked at him with a smile.
"Your Highness, you definitely don't drink alcohol easily every day." She said.
"How does Miss Roujia know?" King Dongping seemed to be a little surprised and asked.
Xie Roujia was a little proud.
"Because a person as high up as His Highness will definitely not let people see such a thing easily." She smiled and stared at the face of the King of Dongping County again, "Your Highness doesn't look like you at all, but a little like a pretty little girl." ”
The king of Dongping County laughed.
"Then Your Highness, rest for a while." Xie Roujia said.
Without waiting for the king of Dongping to speak, he walked out.
King Dongping looked at the door that was pulled and shook his head and smiled, said this call, and then looked at the sky, there was no need to rest, he reached out and untied his shirt while taking it off and walked to the hanger, just took off the robe he didn't pick up to wear, the footsteps in his ears were broken and the door was opened with a bang.
"Your Highness, I see!" Xie Roujia shouted.
The king of Dongping turned around, and the robe he was holding in his hand didn't know whether to put it on or cover it first.
Xie Roujia saw the man's naked upper body at a glance, his figure was well-proportioned, and his complexion was like a jade luster, but in this luster, a scar was like a brush and ink outline from the front chest to the back.
It's like an elegant landscape painting.
Xie Roujia forgot to avoid and be shy for a while, and looked at the scar with some surprise.
This is an old scar, and you can imagine how long and big the wound used to be.
How could he, a county king, with fine clothes and food, and a large number of guards, be so seriously injured?
Xie Roujia thought of what he said about walking outside since he was a child, going to remote and remote places, so he would also encounter danger?
The scar in front of her eyes was suddenly covered by her clothes, which also brought Xie Roujia back to her senses.
The king of Dongping County tied his shirt belt.
"When I was a child, I accidentally fell off a cliff in the wild and was scratched." He said with a smile.
Xie Roujia sighed.
"What do you know?" King Dongping asked.
"I see, you didn't lie to me, it was really a remote and remote place." Xie Roujia said.
As soon as the words came out, the king of Dongping County smiled, and it was obvious that this stupid girl had answered the wrong thing.
He smiled, and Xie Roujia also came back to her senses, her face turned red.
"I mean, I know I didn't just say that His Highness was lying to me." She said busily. "I'm actually angry with Shao Mingqing, in the final analysis, he lied to me, Your Highness, you said polite words, of course I understood it when I thought about it, and I didn't have to think about it at all, he was so bad, he lied to me and said it was true, and let me ask, he himself knew it was fake."
Yes, it's a pity that Shao Mingqing ran away. She had to come here to vent her temper.
King Dongping smiled and walked over a few steps.
"He didn't mean to lie to you. I think he just didn't dare to face parting. He said.
That's right!
Xie Roujia nodded heavily.
"It must be, he's the most gutsless!" She said hatefully.
At this point, the voice of a scribe sounded outside the door.
"Your Highness. Letter from the capital. ”
And another letter from the capital?
Xie Roujia looked out the door. Wrong. Sure enough, there was a letter from the capital.
"Bring it in." The king of Dongping said, and looked at Xie Roujia again, "You will copy the contents of this letter to him later." He broke his promise, but Miss Roujia didn't lose his promise. ”
"Yes!" Xie Roujia smiled happily, nodded at him, saw that the scribe had already walked in and got out of the way, thought about something and turned back, "Your Highness, don't be so outside at home." ”
As he spoke, he gestured to his shirt.
"You don't go out at home, you don't have to change clothes back and forth."
King Dongping laughed again.
"Yes." "I wrote it down," he said. ”
Originally, don't blame her for not knocking on the door, Xie Roujia smiled and turned around and went out.
………………………………………………………………………
At the beginning of the night, Xie Wenxing walked into Mrs. Xie's house.
There was a faint smell of medicine in the room, and Mrs. Xie was breaking open a pill and sending it to her mouth.
"Father is back." Xie Wenxing said, took the water from the girl's hand and handed it to Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie took the pill and swallowed it vigorously, waving her hand to signal the girls.
The girls hurriedly added a large handful of incense to the incense burner, waved their hands and walked around the room, dispelling and covering the smell of medicine.
"Drunk." Xie Wenxing continued, "I don't know where Wenjun took him." ”
Before the words fell, I listened to the noise of the girl and the faint cry outside.
Mrs. Xie frowned.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
A girl was already busy going to see it, and soon returned with an uneasy face.
"Lady, it's Miss, there's a girl who bumped into Miss," she said, bowing her head.
"Collision?" Mrs. Xie sneered, "Who dares to rush into her." ”
Before the words fell, the girls outside shouted that the eldest lady was coming, Xie Roujia walked in, and the cry of the talented girl outside was no longer audible, and she must have pulled it down.
"What's wrong again?" Mrs. Xie asked, "You are an eldest lady, what are you angry with the girls?" ”
Xie Rouhui sat down straight, looked at the incense burner on the table and frowned slightly.
"Who told them to babble in private, chew on the root of their tongues, and say what they said." She said hatefully, "Pull out her tongue and hang it in the yard, and I'll see who dares to make up the gossip of your mother and my husband." ”
Xie Wenxing coughed lightly.
That's enough for you to say that...
"I'm not afraid of shadows, since I know it's ridiculous, why bother to make a big fuss." Mrs. Xie said.
"Mother is saying that if I make a big move, I am not in the right shape and the shadow is slanted?" Xie Rouhui said lightly.
Mrs. Xie felt that she didn't even bother to get angry.
"You're here to take care of my subordinates on purpose?" She asked.
"Mother, why can my grandfather and fifth uncle go out?" Xie Rouhui put down her hand and asked.
"She's gone, don't worry about them colluding with each other in private, your grandfather and your fifth uncle, just feel free." Mrs. Xie said, "Do you want to lock them up for the rest of your life?" ”
"If she's gone, can they write off what they've done?" Xie Rouhui raised her eyebrows and shouted, "If that's the case, anyone can go against us at will in the future." ”
"As long as you can be a good lady and act like a big lady, no one can go against you at will!" Mrs. Xie shouted, and the qi and blood that had been easily suppressed churned again.
Xie Wenxing hurriedly handed her water, Mrs. Xie took a sip and panted slightly, and then looked at Xie Rouhui who was sitting opposite.
"Megumi." She said, "Now that the Xie family is just your eldest lady, you can be yourself and stop making trouble." ”
"What's wrong with me?" Xie Rouhui stood up, "Who is making trouble?" I've always been a good lady, I've always been a good lady, who has to mess with me? Blame me now? ”
She flicked her sleeves and turned away.
Mrs. Xie took a few deep breaths.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry." Xie Wenxing persuaded.
"I'm not angry." Mrs. Xie said, "I'm no longer angry with her. ”
She groaned for a moment.
"Go and call Qingyun."
Qingyun?
Xie Wenxing didn't react for a moment who this ghost name was.
"Zhou Chengzhen." Mrs. Xie said angrily.
Xie Wenxing hurriedly responded, walked a few steps and stopped.
"Tell him to come here?" He hesitated.
Now the rumors at home about Mrs. Xie and her son-in-law living in the same room that night have not been dispersed...
Mrs. Xie was furious and smashed the tea bowl in her hand at him.
"Get out!" She shouted.
Xie Wenxing also noticed the loss of words when he spoke.
"Ayuan, I didn't mean that." He hurriedly said.
But Mrs. Xie just watched him stretch out her hand again.
"Get out."
Xie Wenxing had no choice but to turn around and retreat.
Mrs. Xie sat in her chair with her eyes closed, panting heavily.
Gossip.
I didn't expect that one day she would have rumors, just like when her mother killed other young ladies for love.
No, it's better than my mother's.
The mother's rumor is a personal affair of her children, and everyone avoids talking about it.
But now, what kind of rumor is she? Mother-in-law's affair? This is not called rumor, this is called slander! It's called humiliation!
The Dan master of the Xie family would be slandered and humiliated like this!
Mrs. Xie looked up and looked around, and the furnishings were as magnificent as ever, but why did they look like they were covered with a layer of ashes?
…………………………………………….
"Call me?"
Sitting in the garden, Zhou Chengzhen, who was drinking in clusters of four or five maidservants, looked at Xie Wenxing, raised a handful of beans and opened his mouth to pick them up.
"Oops, catch it!"
"Oops, it's all caught, uncle is amazing!"
The maidservants shouted and screamed.
Zhou Chengzhen chewed the beans rattle, and then looked at Xie Wenxing.
"I'm not available right now." He said with a smirk. (To be continued......)
