Chapter 688: Machismo
Shen Xi didn't blame Xie Yun'er.
Xie Yun'er didn't tell him a certain amount of truth, even if he had already learned about the Li family from Peng Yu's mouth, he couldn't help it.
In fact, this is a case approved by the emperor, and it involves the Shouning Marquis Mansion...... Now half of the Li family's silver belongs to the inner treasury of Emperor Hongzhi, and then the household department and the Shouning Marquis Mansion are almost divided in half, and the rest of the fixed assets such as fields and shops have become the industry of the Shouning Marquis Mansion.
The money has been put into the account, and the Li family can no longer be acquitted, and the silver will be returned, and Shen Xi will ask himself if he has that face.
Think about it, even Gao Mingcheng, the former household servant, only pardoned the crime, and the family property was still confiscated, and he couldn't return it. Officials are still like this, let alone a family of businessmen like the Li family who has no foundation.
"Ask for your help."
The maid cried very sadly, "Miss said, now only adults can save the Li family...... I heard that she died in prison during the Chinese New Year, but she couldn't stand the pain of prison and hanged herself...... My lord, please look at Miss's spirit in the sky and save the Li family once. ”
Shen Xi didn't know where this maid got the news, and the biggest possibility was that the Criminal Department had already reported Li Jin's death. Because I couldn't stand the torture, there were many people who hanged themselves in prison or died of illness, and Miss Everybody often couldn't adapt to that kind of dirty environment, so it was normal to die violently.
In other words, now Li Jin has become a black household with a cancellation of household registration, replaced by "Miss Zhang".
"The matter of your Li family is a big case, my official is soft-spoken, it is really difficult to interfere, girl, please go back." Shen Xi said with a wry smile.
"If you don't help, the slave will die in front of you!"
As she spoke, the maid took out a sharp pair of scissors from her body and aimed it at her throat, depending on the situation, if Shen Xi didn't allow it, she would really stab it.
Such a tragic way of coercion made Shen Xi very helpless. What if you die on the spot? If you can't help, you can't help after all!
"Want to die? It's okay, lest the official report to the government, if the court learns that the Li family still has fish that have slipped through the net, then the girl, your fate will only be worse than death, it is better to die clean, and it will be a hundred! Shen Xi said coldly.
The maid didn't expect Shen Xi to be so ruthless and unrighteous, and thought, "How can Miss believe such a ruthless person?" Poor young lady is as dead as a lamp going out......"
Just when she was stunned, Shen Xi snatched the scissors, threw them on the ground, and said: "Don't act in front of me, if you really want to die, pick up the scissors now, you can perform tricks and die no matter how you want, no one will stop you!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
The little girl cried very sadly, although she didn't understand Shen Xi's words, but it didn't prevent her from being full of despair and helplessness, she knelt on the ground, whimpering, and only thought of something after a while, she really picked up the scissors and tried to stab her heart, but she didn't have the courage to vent her anger.
She wanted to stand up and chase Shen Xi to death with scissors, but she still didn't have the courage.
"Okay, you Lord Shenxi Shen, you wait, I will definitely avenge Miss and comfort Miss's spirit in the sky!"
The little maid stood up from the ground, her eyes were full of fierceness, and she was determined to completely destroy Shen Xi, a capable and chivalrous hero praised by the people.
Shen Xi returned home, the family was happy at this time, and with the new yard cleaned up, they would move to the new home tomorrow. In the future, Shenxi's champion mansion will be the imperial mansion, and its status will improve a lot.
"Is there something unhappy about Xianggong?"
Xie Yun'er saw Shen Xi's gloomy face and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Shen Xi didn't speak, he went directly into the inner courtyard, walked into the bedroom next to the main house, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Xie Yun'er followed in, she seemed to anticipate something, and she was a little panicked. What Shen Xi was thinking about at this moment was, should he tell the truth about it? The reason why Xie Yun'er concealed him was just because she didn't want to cause trouble for him, but it was inappropriate not to report it and make an assertion after all, if he didn't pick it up, it would always be a thorn in his heart.
"You already knew about the Li family?" Shen Xi asked quietly.
Xie Yun'er was taken aback and stammered, "The Li family...... In fact...... The concubine is ......"
At this time, Xie Yun'er was completely confused, she had never deceived Shen Xi before, but she was suddenly exposed by Shen Xi that she had concealed the Li family's suffering and came to ask for help, and she didn't know how to face it for a while.
Xie Yun'er immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her always arrogant head, and sobbed: "The concubine body did know for a long time, and she didn't tell her calmly after her husband came back......
Shen Xi didn't step forward to help, continued to sit there, and asked coldly, "Then why didn't you tell me?" ”
"The concubine thinks...... Although the Li family had helped redeem the old house and shop, after all, they had a bad heart, and they had sent people to beat them up when they didn't know the identity of Xiang Gong, and now they are in big trouble, why should they let Xiang Gong help? Xie Yun'er cried very sadly, after marrying into the door for so long, it was the first time she saw Shen Xi treat her with such a cold attitude, and her heart became more and more worried and scared.
Shen Xi can understand Xie Yun'er, but husband and wife must be honest with each other, this is his bottom line.
"Whether or not to help should be decided by me, the head of the family, not you!" Shen Xi shouted, "If you conceal this matter, you are trapping me in injustice." ”
Xie Yun'er knelt on the ground, her face was gloomy, and she whimpered.
Lin Dai originally heard that Shen Xi was back, and happily brought the maid over, but as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Xie Yun'er kneeling on the ground and crying, and the smile on her face immediately faded.
When has the family seen this battle? She couldn't help but be a little scared, neither daring to go in nor leaving rashly.
Shen Xi didn't want to lose his temper, but he knew that if Xie Yun'er did something wrong and he didn't seem to care, Xie Yun'er might hide more things from him in the future, just "for the sake of the family" is not a reason for the wife to hide her husband, but just an excuse to cover up.
If you don't stop this trend, then everything can be done under the sign of "thinking about the family" in the future, and the consequences are unpredictable. Even if Shen Xi is not Zhenfu Gang at this time, he must throw his face out and make Xie Yun'er realize that this matter is very wrong.
……
……
Shen Xi came to the study next to the bedroom, sat down at the desk, picked up the book casually, and didn't have the energy to read it, just flipped through it randomly, at this time his heart hurt more than anyone else, how to say that Xie Yun'er is his wife, since they got married, the two have been very loyal and obsessed with him, not to mention, Xie Yun'er is still pregnant.
"Mother......
Lin Dai shouted at the door.
Then I heard Zhou's voice coming: "Don't stop me, this kid has a lot of skills, he dares to let Yun'er kneel on the ground and admit his mistakes, does he have an old lady like me in his eyes?" ”
As he spoke, Zhou rushed into the door of the study in a huff and shouted: "Stinky boy, go and help your daughter-in-law up, do you hear?" ”
Shen Xi glanced at Zhou's and replied coldly: "If the mother thinks that the child is doing something wrong, she can punish the child, but there are some things...... When it comes to etiquette and morality, children can't act as if nothing happened. ”
"You...... You're an official, aren't you? Look at it, this home has no rhyme, who takes care of you so well, do you expect Dai'er's unsuccessful girl? Now that your wings are stiff, and you have flesh and blood as an official, you won't listen to your mother? If you want to have a son, you can't count on Yun'er? ”
In these years, husband and wife quarreled, and the mother-in-law must be on her son's side, but Zhou's heart hurt her son so tightly that she treated her son as a baby bump, but she always scolded her when she was caught when she was fine, and now that Shen Xi and Xie Yun'er had just had a dispute, she unceremoniously stood on the side of her daughter-in-law.
Shen Xi said: "The mother wants to beat, and the child is willing to suffer, but the family law cannot be violated." ”
A simple sentence of "family law cannot be violated" made Zhou stunned, she thought about it, and said: "Phew, what kind of family law." Those family laws were all used by your grandmother to punish his son and grandson, and it doesn't matter if you have harmed your father, you still want to use it to harm your daughter-in-law? ”
Shen Xi really didn't want to quarrel with the Zhou family, what he emphasized was not the issue of family law, but the problem that Xie Yun'er deliberately hid some things from him.
If Xie Yun'er forgot about it, it would be fine, at most, it would mean that Xie Yun'er didn't take the Li family's affairs to heart, but Xie Yun'er thought about everything, but she just hid it, which made Shen Xi feel uncomfortable.
But Shen Xi didn't really want to punish Xie Yun'er for anything, because he also had a lot to hide, as if he bought Li Jinranh out and chose a place to settle down, so he couldn't explain it to Xie Yun'er. He just wanted Xie Yun'er to respect him more at home, and he couldn't hide things related to his official reputation in his heart.
"You're not going? Mother go! You wait for the stinky boy, I'll come back and teach you a lesson! ”
Zhou hurriedly went to the next room, at this time she could only scare Shen Xi, in fact, she was reluctant to fight, and she didn't dare to fight, Shen Xi was the Shen family's baby pimple, not to mention that she was distressed, the Shen family had to skin her and cramp.
Soon, Zhou's voice came: "You stupid girl, that kid just doesn't clean up, but I know him, typical hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, you get up quickly...... If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the child in your belly! ”
Then there was a sound, listening to the movement, but it was Zhou who reached out to pull Xie Yun'er, but Xie Yun'er refused.
Xie Yun'er is a smart person, she realizes that she has done something wrong, and she will not get up no matter what, unless she wants to pierce the thorn in Shen Xi's heart deeper. Only by sincerely admitting her mistakes can she get Shen Xi's forgiveness and make up for the rift between husband and wife, but if she gets up, it is tantamount to taking Shen Xi's words as the wind in her ears, then she will no longer have her previous status in the Shen family, and she will not be loved by Shen Xi.
Because the relationship between husband and wife is originally based on mutual trust and respect.
Shen Xi stood up a little anxiously, and only then did he notice that the book he was holding in his hand was not borrowed from Xie Duo's mansion, but the "Kindergarten Qionglin" that he took back from Hui Niang.
At this time, a small head poked out of the door of the study, looking at Shen Xi curiously, obviously not understanding why Shen Xi was restless, why Xie Yun'er was kneeling on the ground and crying, and why the house was in a mess.
"Xiaowen, come here." Shen Xi beckoned.
Yin Wen grinned, but she immediately realized that it was a little inappropriate to be happy in the current gloomy situation, and quickly hid her smile, but she still obediently trotted in front of Shen Xi, raised her head and looked at the admirer with clear eyes.
"I'll give you a book." Shen Xi Road.
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Nizi happily took "Kindergarten Qionglin" and opened it, but most of the words on it were unknown, and the only words she learned were those taught to her by Shen Xi, and she had nowhere else to learn.
"I'll teach you how to pronounce it when I get back." Shen Xi caressed Yin Wen's little face lovingly.
"Uh-huh."
Yin Wen cherished the book in his arms, tilted his head, and leaned on Shen Xi's arms to be coquettish.
The little girl has very few words, but it is very painful, she is simple and has no distractions, she only knows that Shen Xi is good to her, so she wants to repay Shen Xi well, so that Shen Xi can love her more.
Shen Xi continued to sit down and read the book, but this time he was reading the "Shang Wenyi Sparse Manuscript" written by Shang Shi, who borrowed from Xie Duo from the previous "Three Yuan and the First", an official and a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, and until sunset, Shen Xi ignored Xie Yun'er.
Zhou couldn't stand it, so she went back to the rented house in a huff, and when she saw that the contradiction between her son and daughter-in-law was irreconcilable, she simply left it alone and went home sulking.
"Huh?"
Lin Dai shrank back several times when she arrived at the door of the study, and finally couldn't help it, and finally walked in, went to Shen Xi's side and pulled his sleeve, her eyes were full of worry, and she was obviously interceding for Xie Yun'er. But she didn't dare to say anything, because she knew that her status was not as good as Xie Yun'er.
Shen Xi said: "There are some things, it's not that I blame anything, I hope you also understand that I am the head of the family, and everything must be decided by me." You think it's okay to be so domineering, or to be arrogant, but isn't it just about heart-to-heart between husband and wife, besides, with my idea, many things can be prevented in advance, and I will be in front of me if something happens. ”
Lin Dai shrank her head and did not answer.
Shen Xi stood up and went to the next room, sat down on the edge of the bed again, and said, "I'm tired, I need to wash my feet, go get me hot water." ”
Lin Dai was about to go, Shen Xi paused and said, "Let her go!" ”
Xie Yun'er cried and stood up, but after kneeling for a long time, her legs were already numb, and with Lin Dai's support, she limped to the stove room to help Shen Xi wash her feet.
