Chapter 97: Slander
Hearing Xiao He's words, Luo Mei finally came back to his senses from the fright, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Chu Mo, what your father said just now was what Feng saw with his own eyes on the road when he came back from the evening." If you don't believe me, you can ask her personally! ”
At this time, she couldn't care about the mother-daughter friendship, she just wanted to transfer Xiao Chumo's anger, so she didn't wait for the latter to ask more, and directly confessed Xiao Fengwan.
Anyway, according to her understanding of Xiao Chumo, it is expected that he will not really go to confront Xiao Fengwan.
Xiao Chumo snorted coldly, and he didn't know whether he listened to Xiao He's words, or really believed Luo Mei's defense. He did take his eyes off her.
Seeing him like this, Xiao He's face finally improved a little.
However, Luo Mei didn't know how to restrain herself, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "When Master Hou sent someone to invite you over before, I planned to find Panxi as well. In case it is really a mistake for Feng Wan, it is better to explain things clearly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”
At this point, her voice paused, and her face made a look of embarrassment.
"It's just that the maid I sent out didn't invite anyone. I only heard the people in the house say that the lady is not in the house. Calculating the time, it should have been seen by Feng Wan and went out, and he hasn't come back until now. ”
After she finished speaking, not only did the anger on Xiao He's face increase a little, but even Xiao Chumo, who had a cold face from the moment he entered the door, his face was slightly gloomy.
Xiao He said angrily: "Listen, if you are not in the house, she can't sit still for a moment!" ”
Luo Mei saw that he was angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. However, in her heart, she secretly sneered.
She did send someone to Xiao Mansion, but she didn't invite someone, but just knocked on the side to inquire about Yu Panxi's whereabouts.
originally wanted to contain her so that he could convict her of having a private affair with a man. I didn't expect the latter to be out of the house.
God help her!
And when Xiao Chumo heard Luo Mei's words, although he also knew that her words could not be fully believed, he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart.
Although Luo Mei has always looked at him unpleasantly, he will not be stupid enough to poke in front of his father for any trivial things. What can make her so confident is that Yu Panxi really talked to some man.
Thinking that she had only intentionally avoided her for a few days, she had the heart to talk and laugh with the man next to her, and Xiao Chumo naturally felt uncomfortable.
Luo Mei has been paying attention to Xiao Chumo's side with her spare eyes. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he didn't say anything more, but lowered his eyebrows more and more in front of Xiao He.
Seeing that Xiao Chumo didn't move, Xiao He glanced at him.
"Didn't you say that there are a lot of things going on in the military these days? It just so happens that you are afraid that there will not be enough manpower in your house. Then I'll send someone to find Na Yu and bring her back for some reflection! ”
As he spoke, he really wanted to call in and convey the command.
Xiao Chumo raised his eyes to look at him at this time, and his voice was still cold: "I am free to decide this matter, so I won't bother you." After all, I've already moved out of this Hou Mansion, and it's not good to use the manpower here anymore. ”
When he said this, in addition to saying that Xiao He was nosy, he naturally secretly accused Luo Mei of stretching his hand too long. He has already set up another house, and he has to take care of his family affairs.
The two people who were said were choked up, not knowing what to say to refute.
Xiao He glared at him fiercely. But thinking that the relationship between their father and son has been extremely stiff, if it deteriorates again, I am afraid that it will really reach the point of irreparation.
In the end, he compromised a little and said: "If you want to deal with it yourself, it's okay, but if this matter is bigger, it is more or less related to the face of the Xiao family." You must not show favoritism! ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately walked in from outside the study a middle-aged man in a strong suit.
Xiao Chumo looked up and saw that the person who came was not unfamiliar to him. It is one of Xiao He's cronies who has been with him for many years, Nian Hui.
"Master Hou, please command."
"You temporarily follow the eldest young master and accompany him to find the Yu clan. If he needs anything, you just do what he tells you to do. ”
"Yes."
For Xiao He's order, Nian Hui naturally would not refuse.
After responding, he turned to Xiao Chumo and saluted with his fists, and then as if he couldn't see the latter's cold face, he stood half a step behind him.
"What do you mean by that? Is she spying on me, or is she afraid that I will hide it for her? ”
Xiao Chumo squinted his eyes, very dissatisfied with Xiao He's self-assertion.
The latter just snorted coldly, and didn't seem to be affected by his question: "Since you don't want me to make a move, I have to know the result." ”
"Whatever you want."
After Xiao Chumo finished speaking, he didn't bother to stay any longer, and left directly. seemed to be irritated by Xiao He's attitude, but in fact, he also had his thoughts in his heart.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Yu Panxi talking and laughing with other men, he believed in her very much. Nian Hui followed, which just saved him the trouble of coming back and explaining to Xiao He again.
It was clearly for his good, but in his eyes, it became a nosy. I'm so! ”
Seeing Xiao Chumo leave, Xiao He was also angry, and slapped directly on the bookcase.
The loud "bang" startled Luo Mei instead.
Of course, she understood that she couldn't touch Xiao He's mold at this time, and it was a rare time that she didn't take the opportunity to say bad things about Xiao Chumo, but instead changed the topic.
Xiao He's study is not easy for others to enter, and the little maid sent out by Xiao Feng in the evening naturally can't inquire about the details.
It was only said that Xiao Chumo came out with a calm face soon after entering the study, followed by a cronie of the Hou Ye, and the two went out of the house in a menacing manner. I heard that the Hou Ye in the study was also angry, and the lady was still comforting him.
"Got it, you go down. Occasionally keep an eye out for movement in the front yard, just don't be too obvious. ”
Regarding the news brought back by the little maid, Xiao Fengwan naturally thought that Xiao Chumo was very angry after hearing it, and was ready to go to catch Yu Panxi in person.
Although this result was expected by her, it really sounded like it made her feel happy. At that moment, he took out two gold leaves from the purse around his waist and handed them to the little maid as a reward.
The weight of the two gold leaves was quite large, and the latter was naturally very happy, and after a thousand thanks, he withdrew.
Regarding the misunderstanding caused by Xiao Feng's words in the evening, Yu Panxi's master and servant did not know.
When Xiao Chumo and Nian Hui came out of the Ming Kingdom Mansion, they had only traveled half the way.
"Miss, how long will it take to get here?"
Silver Bell was very bored in the carriage, and couldn't help but ask.
Even after leaving Kyoto, there are some scenery to see along the way. But it's nothing more than some flowers and trees, and it won't be long before you get tired of seeing them.
