Chapter 506: Anger
Xie Mulin didn't bother to change his clothes, so he rushed to the courtyard of his eldest sister Xie Yinghui first.
Xie Yinghui is angry.
She scolded the subordinates who knelt in the courtyard: "I just thought that you didn't run, and you were willing to go to your hometown with me to spend your life, you are a loyal servant, and I specially rewarded you with three months' monthly money!" I didn't expect ...... Swindler! All liars! How many of you are still spies like Suo'er?! Do you still think about when you will know my secret, so you will go to Pingnanbo Mansion to sell the lord to seek glory?! I tell you! If you really have such an idea, then you think too beautifully! I will never let you have any chance to step on me to curry favor with the Cao family! ”
She ordered Lu Qi: "Go and call someone!" I'd rather sell them all than give them a chance to betray me again!" ”
Lu Qi had to kneel down and beg bitterly: "Miss, stop your anger!" The lock sells for glory, and the sin deserves death! But most of the people here are loyal to the eldest lady! If they are really sold, who else will wait for the eldest lady? ”
Xie Yinghui sneered: "Just ask someone to send someone over, I don't lack those taels of silver!" Even if some of you are wronged, not all of you will be wronged! I believed you in the past, and that's how you reciprocated to me. If you keep trusting, God knows what you're going to betray me next?! If I cost you your lives, wouldn't it be more wronged than you?! ”
Everyone kowtowed in the courtyard again and again, knocking loudly one by one, crying and shouting grievances, all begging Xie Yinghui not to sell herself. After listening to Xie Yinghui's words, he understood what the little master's heart was, and immediately someone pointed to his companion beside him and said: "Miss, the little one wants to denounce this person, he sneakily ran to the corner of the carriage yard the night before, I don't know what he is messing with, maybe he is communicating with the accomplices outside!" ”
The person who was denounced by him was shocked, and immediately defended: "No, Miss! Small injustice! The little one just hid some private money in the haystack in the chariot yard, and knew that the eldest lady was leaving Beijing, so he thought about turning things out and taking them away. The walls of that courtyard are more than a foot high! And there are no windows, how can the little ones talk to the people outside? This bastard is simply slandering! ”
This pair of reports was unsuccessful, but they alerted another person, and also started to report suspicious people: "Eldest Miss, Mrs. Wang's daughter is married to the nephew of the second steward of Pingnan Bofu, and she communicates privately with Mrs. Wang every month, and she also passes things in several times. If any of us is unreliable, the princess must be counted as one! Her man died early, although she had a son who followed his wife to Shaanxi, but it was not her own, it was the son of her man's former Yuan, and he was not close to her. She only had the daughter who married the second steward, and she would definitely not be willing to follow the eldest lady to the countryside. She's always been close to Suo'er, and she just talked in one place yesterday! ”
Mrs. Wang immediately glared at her red, swollen and bleeding forehead: "Nonsense! I have been by the side of the eldest lady for ten years, and I am loyal. Even if my daughter married the nephew of the second steward, it was my wife's own matchmaking, not my own request! My daughter is filial and often sends me things, but I haven't sent her any letters, and I haven't leaked any news about the eldest lady! As for Suo'er, she was already working under me, so what was so strange about me telling her to do things? Didn't you talk to her? You're having breakfast with her this morning! ”
Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Lu Qi caught a glimpse of the increasingly angry expression on Xie Yinghui's face, and hurriedly stopped everyone: "Shut up for me!" is noisy in front of the eldest lady, are there any rules?! ”
Everyone knew that she was now Xie Yinghui's confidant, Xie Yinghui lost her temper at everyone, but she didn't suspect Lu Qi, just because she knew that she had already turned her face with Pingnanbo's Mansion. She drank and told them to stop, even if some people were not convinced, but they would not be stupid at this moment, and they all bowed their heads and knelt down.
Lu Qi knelt in front of Xie Yinghui and pleaded: "Miss, the slave maid doesn't dare to say that everyone here is loyal to the eldest lady, and there is no doubt that it is reliable, and it takes some effort to slowly screen it." But the slave begged the eldest lady not to say anything about selling everyone. All the people here have been waiting for the eldest lady for many years, and they have taken care of the eldest lady's daily life. If you sell them and buy new people from outside, you may not be so satisfied. Moreover, most of them are willing to wait in front of the eldest lady for a lifetime, otherwise, they would not have known that the Xie family was in a bad situation, and the eldest lady had turned against the Bofu, and she would have to leave the Bofu with the eldest lady. The eldest lady should only give them a chance for the sake of their years of diligence! ”
Xie Yinghui stared at her, glanced at everyone in the courtyard again, and didn't speak for a long time.
Xie Mulin walked over: "Eldest sister, just carefully find out the unreliable people and get rid of them, and the others should stay." You need people around you. Besides, what secrets can you have now, which you must not let Pingnanbo Mansion know? That little girl ran away and ran away. went to Pingnanbo's Mansion, could she still get any great benefits? ”
Xie Yinghui gritted her teeth and said, "Second sister, Suo'er knows that you have returned to Beijing, and I also know that the eldest brother lives near Bao'en Temple." She's going to tell her aunt about it. In case they find the eldest brother, or take you, I don't know how to threaten me and help them calculate Yurong! ”
Xie Mulin sighed: "When the eldest brother returned to Beijing, although he concealed his whereabouts in order to save trouble, it was not to the point where absolute secrecy was required. Pingnanbofu knows it, and now that we have told Miss Ma Cao Wenfeng's plans, are you still afraid that she will suffer? Even if you are forced to bring Cao Wenfeng to Miss Ma, Miss Ma only needs to say that people who do happy events are taboo and filial piety people, and you can send her away, who can find fault with her? You really don't need to worry too much. ”
Xie Yinghui's face slowed down a little: "Even if it's not for Yurong, I don't want the Cao family to harass the eldest brother again." The eldest brother has been studying since he was a child, and I don't know how many times he has compared the Cao family's group of gentlemen! Even if Cao Wentai and Cao Wenheng cherish their feathers and don't entangle with their eldest brother, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not cause trouble. I originally planned to hide all the surnames Cao until I left Beijing, but I never expected that a little girl would be bad today! ”
She glared fiercely at the servants in the courtyard: "I don't know how many of these people are like Suo'er!" Didn't I send them away earlier, did I still keep them to go back to my hometown with me, and then report the matter of our hometown to Pingnanbo Mansion as well?! ”
Xie Mulin said calmly: "Let's screen first, the suspicious people will be kicked out, and the rest will continue to be retained." If you don't worry, when you return to Huyin, we won't allow any of them to enter and leave Xie Jiajiao at will. Aunt Qin is like this, isn't she honestly living at home? In this way, there are people waiting around you, there are people carrying luggage, and no one can send news to the outside world, and if there are people with suspicious behaviors, it is convenient to deal with them immediately. Pingnanbo's Mansion is far away, with the coldness of their family, can they still go to Huyin to save people? ”
Xie Yinghui's face looked a little better at this time, and she instructed Lu Qi: "Take everyone down, ask Cai Laotian and his wife to help, and judge them one by one!" Whenever there is the slightest suspicion, we would rather kill the mistake than let it go, and we must not let half of the spies go back to our hometown with us! ”
Lu Qi hurriedly took the order and left, and everyone also kowtowed to Xie Yinghui and Xie Mulin to thank them, and then withdrew from the courtyard as quietly as possible.
Xie Yinghui pulled Xie Mulin into the house, and said angrily: "The three girls actually bought my people, it's really unreasonable!" ”
