Chapter 162: To Marry or Not to Marry? (Medium)
It was getting late, Xie Shi was sitting in the main hall, and he didn't have any intention of settling down, Ziying persuaded: "Mrs., it's not early, you can rest early." ”
Xie Shi frowned and said, "Three days have passed, and there has been no movement, could it be that she really wants to fight me to the end?" ”
"Why is Mrs. Tai so worried, since we have the will of the Queen Mother, we are not afraid of spending it with her, she is a little lady who has not been out of the cabinet, can she really endure ten days and a half months in prison? In that case, even if she comes out, what should people outside think of her? ”
Although Xie also understands this principle, but when it comes to the succession of his son, he still can't help but worry, "Having said that, if she refuses to admit it, we can't really take her life. ”
The master and servant were talking, and the little girl suddenly came in outside and reported: "Mrs. Tai, someone from Shuntian Mansion is here!" ”
Xie Shi scrambled up from his chair. Both surprised and happy, surprised that it was so late that someone from Shuntianfu would it be Qi Ayaxue who had something in prison, and I was happy that the other party finally moved. She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again, "Call in!" ”
Shuntian Mansion came from a small servant, naturally he didn't dare to snub the lady of the Rongguo Mansion, and hurriedly saluted when he entered the flower hall, Xie Shi saw his strange expression, and his heart became uneasy: "But what happened to the Lord of the Prayer County?" ”
The little official said bluntly: "Don't dare to hide it from Mrs. Tai, the lord of the county hit the iron fence in the prison and injured his forehead. ”
"Are you dead?"
"No ......" The official was stunned in his heart, this was too direct to ask, but he didn't dare to show what he was thinking, and said: "The prison officer found it in time, he has been treated, and there is no major problem, but the county lord is very emotionally unstable, and he seems to want to find an opportunity to commit suicide at any time." ”
When Xie Shi heard that he was not dead, his heart was relaxed, and he stabilized his mind and said, "Can anyone see her?" ”
"Lord Liang found two grandmothers and looked at the county lord, and before the county lord hit the pillar, he shouted to see Mrs. Tai, and said, ......"
"Say what?"
"And said that Mrs. Tai forced her...... Want her life ......"
Xie Shi's eyes narrowed, she knew that Qi Ayaxue was not a fuel-efficient lamp, "How could I have forced her anything, neither beating nor scolding her, but just imprisoning her for a few days, making her reflect on herself, who would have thought that she would not repent, and bite back!" ”
The official didn't dare to intervene at this time, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liang doesn't dare to delay, so I sent a little one to ask Mrs. Tai, do you want to let the county lord go back?" ”
Xie Shi also calmed down, his face was not very good-looking, and said: "The Empress Dowager sent her to Shuntian Mansion to educate her, but she forced her to die, clearly provoking the majesty of the Empress Dowager with her own life, not to mention, if she is put back so easily, it will do evil again in the future, and it is you Shuntian Mansion and our Rongguo Mansion who are responsible!" ”
As soon as the official heard the cold sweat, he came down in a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked, "What does Mrs. Tai mean......?"
"Keep her locked up, but don't let her die...... Simply, let someone tie her up. ”
The official hesitated and did not dare to answer.
"What? Could it be that you want to go against the will of the Queen Mother and want to let her go back or let her die again? ”
"This ...... Naturally, I don't dare to ......"
"That's it." Xie Shi raised his chin slightly, revealing a calm expression, "Okay, you go back and tell Lord Liang what I said, as for Lord Qijun...... It's getting late today, and I'll see her tomorrow when I'm free. ”
"Yes...... The villain understood. ”
The official retreated, Xie Shi slowly got up and looked out in a bit of a daze, before he knocked on his chest a few times and let out a long breath: "This Qi Ayaxue actually wants to find a way by seeking death!" ”
Ziying said: "Isn't this also in Madame's expectations?" She doesn't really want to die, she just wants to scare us. ”
"Having said that, I'm afraid that if she really loses her life, we won't be able to take off the dry cleaning. It's really terrifying, my heart is beating so hard just now, I almost can't hold back! ”
Ziying brought tea over, "Mrs. Tai took a sip of tea to suppress her shock." ”
Xie Shi took the teacup and took a sip, and his spirit relaxed: "She is restrained at this time, presumably she will not make a fork again, she will rest today, and we will meet her again tomorrow!" ”
There was movement in Qi Ayaxue, and although Xie Shi was worried, he settled in his heart and quickly fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
On the second day, Xie got up and took a look at Lin Yi first, and saw that he was really obedient when he was frightened, but he didn't want to go out again in the house, so he relieved himself and ordered his subordinates to set the meal.
"Mother rest assured, my son will never go out these days."
In addition to disgusting his father, Lin Yi is different from others in indescribable ways, but he can also understand his mother's hard work. In addition, I almost lost my life a few days ago, and verified that the invitation of Jingyi Gongzi was really fake, and I was in no mood to find someone else after being hit.
Xie Shi was pleased: "This is good, this is good!" ”
Coming out of Lin Yi's courtyard, Ziying asked, "Mrs. Tai, let's go out to Shuntian Mansion?" ”
Xie shook his head: "Don't worry, touch her, let her wait slowly!" ”
After that, Xie Shi arrived in the main hall and began to call the mothers-in-law everywhere to talk back and forth to deal with the trivial matters in the house, it was noon after the busy work, and after lunch, Xie Shi was still in a good mood to take a nap, and then got up to change clothes and went to Shuntian Mansion.
Along the way, Xie Shi was thinking about how to talk to Qi Ayaxue about it would go well, but the carriage stopped, Ziying opened the curtain suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The coachman said: "Someone who claims to be from the Qingfu has come to greet him when he meets his wife's carriage." ”
Xie Shi was a little puzzled: "People from the Qing Mansion? ”
Before she could react, a woman's clear voice like a silver bell came from outside: "Xu Er gives Mrs. Tai a salute." ”
Xie Shi felt that the voice was a little familiar when she heard this, and when she opened the curtain, she couldn't help but be stunned, and Ziying whispered in her ear: "The eldest girl of the Qing Mansion is as good as Xu, and she is the eldest daughter of Lord Qing. ”
When Xie Shi heard this, he remembered who the beautiful little girl in front of him was, so he was helped out of the carriage by Ziying, "It turned out to be the eldest girl of the Qing family!" I don't know how the old lady is doing recently, I haven't visited her old man for a long time, but I'm worried about it! ”
In fact, the Qing family and the Rongguo Mansion do not have much friendship, but there are necessary human contacts, and Qinghong is a subordinate relied on by the emperor, and whoever sees it will give a few thin faces. Last time Xiao Song's funeral, she also went to ask Doctor Leng Shen to see her by the way, but she didn't see Qing Ruxu who was "sick" at that time, and she hadn't seen her for a long time, and she didn't recognize who this girl who was radiant and not half sick.
Qingru Xu Yingying saluted and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai is fine, grandmother is well, and Mrs. Lao cares." ”
"Good, good." Xie Shi had a smile on his face, but he wondered in his heart what Qing Ruxu was looking for him. Qingru Xu didn't wait for her to ask and said: "I heard that there is some misunderstanding between the Lord of the County and the Duke of Rongguo, and I heard that the Queen Mother ordered someone to send the Lord of the County of Qi to the Shuntian Mansion in order to 'educate', and ordered the lady to do this responsibility on her behalf, Xu Er heard that she was embarrassed at this time, thinking that she had a little friendship with the Lord of the County, and I went to visit her yesterday......
Xie Shi was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't know what Qing Ruxu's plan was when he mentioned this matter, and he couldn't help but show a little weakness when he looked at Qing Ruxu's eyes......
Qing Ruxu glanced at her, remained silent, and then said: "In the past, I saw that the lord of Qi County was dignified and intelligent, and I never thought that she would do anything to buy/murder, and I guessed that she must have made a mistake, but when I saw her yesterday, I actually felt that she seemed to have lost her mind, which was completely terrifying. Alas...... Mrs. Tai, although I sympathize with the county lord, but I should let her be 'taught', otherwise...... It will surely cause great disaster in the future! ”
Xie Shi was stunned, it turned out that he was not speaking for Qi Ayaxue, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, "You...... That's right, I think so too, she's still young......"
Qing Ruxu said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai is noble, it is really admirable to be able to help the county lord regain his true heart regardless of his past suspicions. She looked at the stunned Xie Shi, paused and said, "But...... Xu Er thought that this matter of indoctrination still needs the county lord to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, if he is forced to be helpless, he will inevitably fall into his tongue at that time, and if something happens in the future, the queen mother is afraid that she will be blamed......"
Xie Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at Qing Ruxu, and realized that this was her intention to stop her carriage today, but ...... Why did she say that? At first glance, it sounds like it's to pray for Ayayuki to be good, but when you think about it, it doesn't seem like it? "This ...... Naturally, she wanted to take the initiative to say ......"
When Xie Shi said this, he had a feeling of sudden realization.
Yes, Qi Ayaxue was trapped here at this time, so that the heavens should not be called the earth, and she was forced to agree to herself, but when she went out, she bit herself, saying that she was forced by her, can she tell clearly? Even if the Queen Mother believes in herself, she will have to spend a lot of trouble with the boss, and she will be blamed if she is not careful......
Therefore, I can't mention a word about this family affair! Just wait for Ayaxue to "comprehend" herself! When the time comes, she can't regret it if she wants to! Because she mentioned it herself!
Qingru Xu saw that she seemed to have an understanding, so she smiled and said: "Mrs. Tai's virtue is touching, Xu Er is relieved and takes her leave." ”
The master and servant saluted and went away, and Xie was stunned for a long time before he re-boarded the carriage and headed for Shuntianfu.
The master and servant were stunned for a long time before they glanced at each other, and Ziying said, "This eldest girl, it seems that she is reminding Mrs. Tai?" ”
"I think so too......," Xie muttered, "She knows what I want to do, and she deliberately reminds me not to leave a legacy behind...... It's clear that she wants to help me suppress Qi Ayaxue, did she have a holiday with Qi Ayaxue? ”
"Eighty percent is like this, or ......" Otherwise, how would she want to marry Qi Ayaxue to someone like her grandfather!
"Go back and check...... lest there be anything that we don't know. ”
