Chapter 42

Old Madam Xu looked at the scene in front of her, and she was about to go crazy.

She kept shaking, her stereotyped face was distorted, and her eyes were full of resentment and anger: "Evil obstacles! Evil creature! How dare you...... How dare she? ”

Mama Zhang, who was still showing off her martial arts just now, was also frightened at this time, and saw Wen Xiang holding a broken vase and piercing one after another without mercy, one piercing one accurate, one piercing a blood hole. She couldn't help but shake when she pricked it, as if the broken vase was about to pierce her in the next moment.

She couldn't help but shudder, "Old lady, let's ...... She's crazy, let's go back first...... Let's go back. ”

So many mothers-in-law couldn't catch a weak and slender girl, but they were beaten by her and wailed. Although Mrs. Xu was angry, she was really afraid that the broken vase in Wen Xiang's hand would pierce her and kill her.

"Let's go! Come on! Mrs. Xu held Mama Zhang's hand and fled: "Someone, go and call Xiangye back for me!" ”

Mama Zhang suddenly stopped, her eyes flashed several times: "Old lady, you know about Xiangye's maintenance of her, but I'm afraid that I still have to protect her this time, because she didn't hurt you in the end, so it must be not a light or heavy grounding...... But if she hurts you...... With so many pairs of eyes watching, unless Xiang Ye doesn't want to be an official, he will definitely punish her with his own hands! In this way, it can be regarded as a bad breath for you. ”

Old Madam Xu was really tempted when she heard this, but when she thought of the vase tied to herself, she frowned: "There is no other way?" ”

"Only if the matter is made big, everyone in the house knows about it, and Xiangye can't defend her anymore, and when that happens, you can handle her as much as you want." Mama Zhang glanced back at Wen Xiang, who was still murderously "retreating from the enemy", and shivered fiercely: "You have to make up your mind!" ”

Today she brought the old lady and her mother-in-law to clean up the girl, just now she talked the most, if the girl has a grudge, when will she be stabbed twice, it will really kill people!

For now, she can only hurt the old lady - hurt her own mother-in-law, and wherever you put this matter, it is appalling. If something like this happens in someone else's house, they will definitely not survive. According to Xiangye's maintenance of her, it may not be easy for her to die, but she must not be able to continue to stay in Xiangfu.

As long as she leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion and loses the protection of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what is she?

When the time comes, without waiting for the old lady's orders, she will ask someone to sell her into Fireworks Willow Lane!

Mrs. Xu was pinched by Mama Zhang, and after thinking about it carefully, this is also a good way, but it is just a little bit of flesh and skin.

So he resolutely turned around and rushed into the battlefield: "Evil barrier, don't stop it for me soon!" ”

Wen Xiang saw that Mrs. Xu was about to run away with her tail between her legs, but she didn't know what the old woman next to her told her, so Mrs. Xu ran back angrily, and went to her to stop her.

But while blocking, he was afraid to dodge.

That's kind of interesting.

At first, she really didn't think about greeting Mrs. Xu, but she wasn't really stupid, and she soon understood what Mrs. Xu meant.

She decided to make it happen to her.

"Ahh Old Madam Xu screamed, like killing a pig, and even her voice was broken.

Wen Xiang was so frightened by her voice that she almost threw away her weapon, everyone else did it, and Old Madam Xu only needed to move her mouth to achieve the same effect, which was really powerful.

Wen Xiang praised in her heart not very sincerely, and watched Mama Zhang panicked to protect Mrs. Xu and withdraw from the battle circle, "Ah! The old lady is injured! Come on, the girl stabbed the old lady! Oh my God, girl, how can you do it, this is your mother! Hurry up, call the imperial doctor, and Xiangye, please come back and make decisions for the old lady! ”

This voice is almost catching up with the big opera.

It seems that she really stabbed the old lady Xu into a serious injury, for the sake of Xu Xiang's little brother, she can't be that heavy-handed, but it's just a little broken-

Wen Xiang watched a group of people follow Mrs. Xu and ran away in a panic and embarrassment, and Jingyi Courtyard, which was still lively just now, suddenly quieted down.

She let out a breath and glanced at the apricot blossom who was still sitting on the ground and couldn't get up. The latter still stammered and looked at her with shock and admiration on his face.

"Can you get up?" Wen Xiang held out her hand.

Although Xinghua felt that it was not polite, she still handed her hand to Wen Xiang in a daze.

Wen Xiang took the opportunity to pull her up: "Are you hurt?" ”

Xinghua shook her head in a daze, she just cared about watching the girl make a big move, and she still couldn't believe her eyes.

"If you're not hurt, I'll go see the light rain." Wen Xiang sat down and took a sip of herbal tea.

It's been a long time since I've been fighting, so I'm a little tired.

The corners of her mouth curled slightly, but the corners of her mouth quickly drooped again.

Xu Wenxiang is timid and cowardly, and I heard that she doesn't even dare to go out once a year.

It's like two extremes with her.

Mom said when she was still alive that she looked well-behaved, but she was actually a violent person.

When I caught up with the rebellious period, my mother was so heartbroken for her! She actually doesn't like to mix with sisters, and she doesn't like to associate with those people, and she doesn't even look down on what they do, but she just can't control herself, she feels that when she mixes with them, especially when she fights, the kind of crazy energy that doesn't care about it is like a kind of venting, which can soothe something, which makes her happy and excited.

In addition to fighting, she also enjoys extreme sports such as drag racing, bungee jumping, surfing, and freehand rock climbing.

She enjoys the excitement and joy that doing those things brings her, and she feels that there is a reverse bone in her bones.

Later, her mother suddenly fell ill, and when she left, she held her hand, and her reluctant eyes that were both loving and uneasy pierced pierced her heart, and she knew that she made her mother unable to close her eyes with confidence.

She knelt beside her mother's bed, buried her head in her mother's palm, and swore that she would change it in the future, and she would definitely change!

After her mother died, she threw away her exaggerated clothes and earrings, washed off all the tattoos on her body, obediently studied, worked obediently, and sure enough, she changed.

She has become a well-behaved, obedient and polite Wen Xiang praised by everyone, and she has firmly imprisoned herself in the standard of "five stresses, four beauties and three loves", and will never cross the thunder pool by half a step. The things she used to like never touched again, until she was hooked by the damn old monk who did die, and she was lost to this place.

When she did it just now, she was still a little worried that she would not be able to control the violence in her heart as before, but she didn't expect that she didn't have the crazy thoughts that she couldn't control and just wanted to destroy everything - she stopped easily, and in the fight, she avoided everyone's fatality, and only gave them some flesh wounds.

She doesn't have the chaotic and crazy feeling she used to have, she's clear!

Wen Xiang lowered her eyes and looked at her hands.

Her hands were still clean, not a single trace of blood.

Her hands are also very steady, unlike before, every time she hurts someone, her hands will shake out of shape.

Is it because of Xu Wenxiang?

Because she and Xu Wenxiang are both crippled people, Xu Wenxiang is too timid and cowardly, and she is too strong and strong?

Now because she has become Xu Wenxiang, she is neutralized?

"Huh...... Absurd! Wen Xiang scolded herself, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xinghua wiping her tears while helping a limping light rain walk in.

She was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up: "Where is the injury?" ”

When the fight started just now, she didn't pay attention to the light rain, and thought that the movement here was big, and the light rain would naturally be fine, but she didn't expect to be beaten.

Weiyu looked at her anxiously: "Girl, are you really okay?" ”

Wen Xiang turned around to let her see clearly: "It's intact." ”

Weiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned, her face full of worry: "Did the girl really hurt the old lady just now?" ”

"If she has to come up, I can only fulfill her." Wen Xiang blinked innocently.

Weiyu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Once this matter spreads, Miss Yu will not benefit at all!" How can a girl ...... Xiang Ye will come back soon, but I am afraid that even Xiang Ye will not be able to cover up this matter. ”

"So what's the worst outcome?" Wen Xiang didn't take it to heart at all.

Xinghua cried: "Girl, the slave maid heard that disobedience is second only to rebellion. When the slave was a child, a man in a neighboring county disobeyed his parents and was denounced, and the people of the county government immediately arrested him. Soon he was convicted, and the man was skinned and weededβ€”did the girl know what it meant to be skinned and weeded? It is to peel off the human scalp alive, and then pour mercury into it, and peel off the human skin completely. Then stuff the human skin with lamp grass and pretend to be human. At that time, it was sent to our county to tour the streets, and the slave maid followed to see it, and when she came back, she didn't dare to sleep for three days and three nights! ”

Wen Xiang's face also changed: "So serious? ”

Xinghua was still crying: "When that man dies, I heard that his bones will be ground into powder...... All in all, it's terrible! ”

Wen Xiang smiled dryly: "No, not so much, right?" ”

Weiyu glanced at Xinghua: "The girl doesn't have to be too alarmed, as the saying goes, the people don't sue the officials and don't investigate, as long as the matter is not official, it is not as serious as Xinghua said." No matter how dissatisfied the old lady is with you, for the sake of the Xiangye, she will not let people sue the official. ”

"That's right, the Xu Mansion also wants to be faced, so this matter can only be solved behind closed doors." Wen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, she was relieved not to be skinned and grassed, and her bones and ashes were scattered.

Seeing that she didn't care at all, Weiyu didn't care about the pain on her buttocks, and told her her guess: "But it is an indisputable fact that the old lady was injured by the girl, and the old lady can not report to the official for the sake of Xiangye's future, but she will definitely ask Xiangye to punish you severely!" ”

Wen Xiang nodded teachably: "In your opinion, what will your family do?" ”

"One, send you back to your ancestral hometown Dengzhou Mansion, but Dengzhou Mansion is far away from Kyoto, and Xiangye will definitely not want to send you back to your clan. Second, find a nunnery in Kyoto to house you, so that you can ...... the ancient Buddha from now on."

"Monks?" Wen Xiang wrinkled her nose: "Then you can't eat meat." ”

A life that can't eat meat is too sad! "Isn't there a third way? For example, drive me out of the Xu Mansion and leave me to fend for myself or something? ”

Weiyu's eyes opened, and she looked at her fixedly, and after a long time, she said, "The girl hurt the old lady because of this?" ”

Weiyu is an understanding person, Wen Xiang didn't hide it from her, and smiled at her: "She also wanted to calculate me, and deliberately came to me to let me pierce it." She wanted to drive me away, and I wanted to get out of here, and we hit it off. ”

Weiyu's face turned slightly pale.

Xinghua listened in a daze: "Girl......"

But she couldn't say what she wanted to say, because she saw Xu Shen standing at the door, with a blue face.

"Xiang, Xiangye." Xinghua and Weiyu hurriedly saluted Xu Shen, and when they saw Xu Shen's expression, their hearts beat drums, and they didn't know how much he heard just now.

Compared with the nervousness of the two of them, Wen Xiang was much more relaxed, and she even smiled happily at Xu Shen: "Brother, you're back." ”

……

When the chaos of the Xu Mansion reached Song Nanzhou's ears, he couldn't help but help but support his forehead: "She can really cause trouble." Xu Shen has returned home? ”

The petite figure with an unrecognizable face habitually hid in the shadows, "Xu Xiang was very angry. ”

"What is he going to do with it?" Q: Nanzhou knocked on the table, if he is Xu Shen, how will this matter be handled?

Of course, out of sight and out of mind, he immediately sent the troublemaker back to his ancestral home.

But Xu Shen is not her, with how much he cares about Xu Wenxiang, he is afraid that he will find a relatively safe and quiet Buddhist hall to temporarily place her.

It's good to do this, so that she doesn't have a restless chicken dog all day long.

However, she made trouble for her, what did he have to worry about? It's not his troubleβ€”

Song Nanzhou quickly left the matter behind: "Keep an eye on Xu Shen more, don't waste all your energy on Xu Wenxiang." ”

The shadow answered, and seeing that Song Nanzhou had no other instructions, he left quietly.

……

Old Madam Xu's Fu'an Hall was in trouble at this time.

Knowing that Xu Shen was back, Mrs. Xu immediately took action, stood on the brocade stool that had been prepared a long time ago, and was about to put her neck into the white silk that had been knotted.

Mama Zhang hugged her leg and wailed loudly: "Old lady, don't be like this, calm down!" You went like this, how can Xiangye deal with himself! Come down, old lady. ”

The maids and women who knelt on the ground shouted in unison: "Old lady, don't do anything stupid." ”

Xu Shen looked at the scene in front of him with a calm face, and said coldly: "Go out!" ”

The maid and the mother-in-law went out one after another, Mama Zhang looked at Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu was glaring at Xu Shen with hatred, she had to hurriedly say to Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, don't be angry with Xiangye, the overall situation is important." ”

After that, under Xu Shen's cold gaze, he went out in a gray manner.

Old Madam Xu was still standing on the stool, looking at Xu Shen condescendingly.

Mama Zhang's reminder was like an empowerment, allowing the angry Mrs. Xu to distinguish the order of priority.

She just stood there, her original resentful look slowly turned desolate and desperate, and two lines of tears burst out of her eyes.

"It's good if you come to give me a ride, and it's all about the fate of mother and son."

Xu Shen sighed lightly, his expression gloomy: "Mother, if you have anything to say, sit down and say it well, don't be like this." ”

"Say it well? What else can be said? If you have to keep that scourge, then it's up to you, keep her, I'm old, and I don't have a few days to live anyway, so it's better to go to your father, it's also a good thing.

She looked disheartened.

"You come down first, and let the Imperial Doctor see how you are hurting." Xu Shen coaxed her, "If there is anything to say, let's sit down and talk about it." ”

"What else do you see? I don't want to live anymore anyway. Old Madam Xu sobbed, her fingers clenched Bai Aya: "Isn't it your intention that I'm dead?" I can't control your affairs in the future, you can do whatever you like. I just can't live with your father, I can't live with the ancestors of the Xu family, they handed over the Xu family to me, but I didn't manage this family well, I didn't teach you well, so there will be such an insulting thing to the lintel of the Xu family today......"

The more Mrs. Xu spoke, the more excited she became, and she really stretched her head into the white silk: "This home, where is it still like a home, I don't have the face to live anymore." ”

Xu Shen rushed up with an arrow step, hugged Mrs. Xu off the stool, and then lifted her robe and knelt straight in front of her: "It's all my son's fault, if my mother wants to blame me." ”

Old Madam Xu fell down angrily: "At this time, you are still helping that little slut to speak!" Xu Shen, that little slut hurt me with a sharp weapon, you are still like this, I really raised you for nothing! ”

The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she was always strong, and the image of the weak couldn't last long, "Today's matter, if it weren't for your future, it wouldn't be too big to make people laugh, I would have had someone kidnap her and send her to Shuntianfu, so that she would know that she knew how disobedient to her elders and hurt her elders was terrible!" Otherwise, I will also ask my clansmen to come and comment on how it should be good if there is such a bad obstacle in the family! ”

This is to tell Xu Shen that if he defends Wen Xiang again this time, Old Madam Xu will definitely not give up, even if she doesn't send her to the official, she will be sent back to the clan to be punished.

Xu Shen's eyelids twitched slightly: "The son begged his mother to calm his anger." ”

"Okay, you can say now, what are you going to do with that evil obstacle!" If what he says doesn't satisfy her, then do it her way.

……

"Hahaha...... "A string of hearty laughter came from Mrs. Xu's courtyard, "I have inquired clearly, is this really the case?" ”

Seeing that Liu's tears of laughter came out, he was indeed very happy, and the mother-in-law standing below hurriedly smiled and said: "This is absolutely not fake, the movement from Jingyi Courtyard is too big, and the mother-in-law brought by the old lady is all injured, I heard that Lang Zhong is still giving them medicine to stop bleeding at this time." ”

Liu Shi took the handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eye, "Xiangye is back?" ”

"When I came back, Xiangye hurriedly went to Jingyi Courtyard, but the result came out quickly, his face was very ugly, and he went to the old lady's side next."

The smile on Liu's face disappeared suddenly: "At this time, he actually went to the slut's yard first, hum, it's really affectionate." ”

Listening to Liu's yin and yang strange words, the mother-in-law was very uneasy, and hurriedly said: "The old lady is making trouble in Rong'an Hall to hang herself, Xiangye knelt and begged the old lady to take care, and the old lady forced Xiangye to deal with the one in Jingyi Courtyard." ”

Liu sneered: "Disposition? That slut is the meat on his Xu Shen's body, how can he be willing to dispose of her? ”

"This time is different, the old lady was injured by her, or in full view of everyone, Xiangye wants to be partial, but I'm afraid it's not easy." The mother-in-law said with a smile: "The old lady said, if the minister's disposal cannot satisfy the old lady, the old lady will alarm the clan." ”

Liu pursed his lips, thoughtful.

"Actually, according to the old slave's meaning, it is better to alarm the clan. Take the opportunity to send her back to Dengzhou Mansion - Mrs. has never seen how the clan punishes the female relatives who make mistakes, the old slave can say, but all the female relatives who are sent back to the clan to be punished are eager to die early! ”

Liu Shi listened: "How does the clan punish the female relatives who make mistakes?" ”

"The female dependents who were sent back to the clan are really not as good as pigs and dogs, anyone can beat and scold them, and they have to keep working and weaving cloth to exchange for their daily needs." The mother-in-law said with a smile: "The old slave also went back to the clan with the old lady one year to worship the ancestors, and saw those women who made mistakes, they are like walking corpses, they are working non-stop every day, if they don't finish their work, not only do they not eat, but they are not allowed to sleep, they are good alone, at most they will stay up for three or five years and they will lose their human form." ”

Liu's eyes sparkled: "Now you help me do something, quietly go out of the house, and tell the old lady about being stabbed by that slut." ”

Xu Shen must be reluctant to send that slut back to the clan to endure hardship, so let her come!

……

Wen Xiang sat in the circle chair and bit her fingers with some uneasiness, Xu Shen's cold look at her just now made her a little breathless, as if she had really done something wrong.

He didn't say anything to her, turned around and left.

That's what makes Wen Xiang overwhelmed.

He was angry in his heart, even if he scolded her.

He didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, how did people know what was going on in his heart.

"Girl, it's not good!" Xinghua, who went out to inquire about the news, ran in in a panic, "The clan elders are here, and they are talking to Xiangye in the main hall at the moment, which has alarmed the clan elders, I'm afraid it's not good!" ”

Although Wen Xiang is a foreign monk, he also knows what it means to be a patriarch in a big family.

"Are you going to hand me over to the clan?" Wen Xiang was a little dumbfounded, in this case, could Xu Shen protect her?

Although she could see that Xu Shen was very dissatisfied with her approach this time, she was sure that Xu Shen would protect her.

But can Xu Shen be powerful enough to fight against the clan elders on his own? Or, is Xu Shen willing to defend her at the cost of offending the clan elders?

Wen Xiang is not sure about this.

At this time, I also faintly regretted that I had rushed too much just now, and I went to Za Xu Old Lady without figuring out the situation - if those clan elders really decided to skin her, break her bones, and scatter ashes, what should I do?

No, you can't sit still!

Wen Xiang's eyes rolled, she still had to run!

"Apricot blossoms, light rain, I want to eat plum blossom crisp, go to the kitchen to see if there is any?" She had to separate the two maids first.

Today, the two of them suffered because of her, and she was really embarrassed to hit them with a vase again.

Xinghua was a little puzzled, "I'll just go alone, Sister Weiyu will accompany the girl." ”

Weiyu glared at her: "Whatever the girl says, we will do." Such a big thing happened, and the girl wanted to be alone for a while. ”

"But ......, didn't Xiangye tell them to never leave?"

Xinghua didn't have a chance to ask her doubts, because the light rain forcibly took her away.

Wen Xiang didn't care about being grateful to Weiyu for her kindness, she put five coins of broken silver into her purse, opened the window, looked left and right, and jumped down neatly.

Outside her window is a small garden with a path leading down the garden to the backyard. Brother Rooster had said that the dog hole he had dug was right next to the corner gate at the back of her yard because there were thick vines there that would not be noticed.

Wen Xiang dodged and walked towards the corner door, fortunately, there were no people along the way, and it was estimated that they all went to the main hall to inquire about the news or watch the excitement.

In short, the journey was very smooth, and Wen Xiang felt a little incredible.

But she didn't think much about it, it was important to escape!

Soon found the dog hole dug by Brother Rooster, Wen Xiang was overjoyed, and did not hesitate to drill out.

……

Xufu main hall.

The eight elders of the Xu clan sat upright with serious faces, and waited for a while before they saw Xu Shen coming over by Shi Shiran.

"I've kept you waiting." Xu Shen said softly, "I don't know how many uncles are in such a hurry to come over, but what's the matter?" ”

"We already know what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion." One of the clan elders spoke, "What happened like this, do you still want to hide it?" ”

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, looking dazed: "What's going on in my house, tired clan uncles have worked hard this trip?" ”

"Xu Wenxiang committed the following crimes and beat his mother-in-law, which is a felony of disobedience and unfilial piety!" A clan elder slammed his cane on the ground, blew his beard and glared and said: "As the prime minister of the dynasty, you are in the first rank, how many eyes look at you, if you commit a fool because of this, not only will the Xu clan be criticized, but even your career will be affected!" ”

"Yes, Shen'er, you hurry up and hand over the disobedient and unfilial girl, the clan has its own destiny, so even if it is passed out, it will not affect the reputation of our Xu clan."

"My sister is disobedient and unfilial and hurts my mother-in-law?" Xu Shen looked shocked: "Where does this start?" ”

"Yes or no, please ask the old lady to come out and see."

"Yes, yes, it's better to invite the old lady out. The old lady can't be sick by chance, right? ”

"Mothers have always been healthy, and this is also a blessing for us as children." Xu Shen smiled and instructed the servant, "Go and ask the old lady to come over." ”

"Since I invited the old lady, I will call Xu Wenxiang too." A clan elder proposed.

Seeing that Xu Shen, who was still kind and pleasant at first, immediately changed his face and put the teacup down, "Xiangxiang's body is weak, who doesn't know the elders of the clan?" She has not recovered from a serious illness and needs to recuperate in bed, so why don't the elders open the net? ”

Although he was in a deliberative tone, his domineering momentum made these clan elders have to panic.

Xu Shen is the most capable and highest-ranking person in the Xu clan now, even if the patriarch comes in person, he is polite to him. At this time, his aura was full of energy, and these clan elders who claimed to be the most fair and just didn't even dare to look at him.

The Xu clan has to rely on him, how can they easily offend him?

Mrs. Xu was quickly helped out, she cleaned up again, applied powder again, and looked good.
