Chapter 6 Study
Xie Mulin knew how the eldest lady Cao knew that Xie Yingrong had gone to the study.
The eldest lady Xie Yinghui saw it.
On the edge of the pool, Xie Mulin heard Xie Yinghui tell Qian's mother about it. Needless to say, it must have been Qian's mother who told Cao.
But what's wrong with going to the study? Could it be that in this home, the study is still a forbidden place?
Xie Mulin had Xie Yingzhen's memory and knew that it was impossible. The study is where Xie Pu works, reads or meets guests on weekdays, and most of the people who come and go are men, and even the waiters are also scholars and servants, and people in the back house generally do not go there.
However, because Xie Pu has been out in the past few years, he only returned to Beijing from Kaizhou at the end of last year, and now he has not yet decided on a new position. Xie Yingzhen has a few sisters, and occasionally goes over to borrow books or something.
Of course, Xie Pu has returned to Beijing now, and the study has naturally become his territory again. But he has always been kind to his children, and he did not prohibit his daughters from continuing to borrow books, but encouraged them to read more books and study more, so Xie Yingrong went quite frequently, and Xie Yingzhen was not as diligent as her.
Xie Yingrong can be said to be the most outstanding literary among the sisters.
It's just that Xie Yingrong went to the study, although it is not an uncommon thing, but when the family was feasting, the sisters fell into the water, and the rescued guests were still resting in her yard, and it was indeed a strange thing for her to run to the study at this moment.
At that time, the banquet had just opened, and the study was close to the men's seats, what if I bumped into outsiders?
Does she have to make a trip at this time?
Xie Mulin was confused, so he paid attention to the conversation between Xie Yingrong and Aunt Dajin.
Aunt Dajin told her daughter: "Mrs. Fang Cai suddenly called me over to ask about this, how did I know? This is not a big deal, so I told my wife to call you over and ask. But my wife ignored it, and continued to ask me, do you know what you are doing in the study? How long has it been? When you go back to the hospital, what are the extra items on your body? And ask me, where do you like to store your valuables? The locked box in the makeup box, and the rosewood top cabinet in your house, and the locked drawer on it, where are the keys? ”
Xie Yingrong's face was a little ugly, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "Mrs. never asks about these things, why is she so concerned today?" Auntie, don't be too honest, otherwise we won't be able to keep our private house for many years! ”
Aunt Dajin snorted: "It's all raided, what else do you mention about your private room?" If we don't tell her, will she give us good fruit to eat? I'm not stupid! Mrs. is the queen's own sister-in-law, even if the queen doesn't like her much, for the sake of her mother's reputation, she will not ignore her. Besides, the master has always been cautious in his work, so what big mistake can he make? As long as the queen and the crown prince help to say a word, no matter how big things are, they can pass. When the old man returns safely, can't he hold his wife? When the time comes, even the second room will have to step back, let alone you and me? This will offend my wife, and no one will be able to save us at that time! Besides, where did our little thing get into the eyes of my wife? The grandson of the Cao family is going to sit in the country in the future, which is a mountain of gold and silver, and no one can look down on it! ”
Xie Yingrong sneered: "Sitting on the country? He ......," she stopped suddenly, and added, "Aunt has a point, so you told Mrs. where the key is?" Just say it, I'll ...... There's nothing unseemly either. ”
Aunt Dajin glanced at her: "So, you really went to the study?" Yesterday, the people in the mansion turned over on their backs, why don't you stay in the courtyard to accompany the granddaughter of Master Xue, what are you going to do in the study? Tell me honestly, did you take something important from the study? ”
Xie Yingrong's voice tightened: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"You were born to me, and you want to hide it from me?" Aunt Dajin poked her daughter lightly on the forehead, "You tell me the truth, what did you take?" If you shouldn't take it, return it to your wife. You little kid, don't get yourself into trouble! ”
Xie Yingrong was stiff-mouthed: "I didn't take anything." Originally, I was talking to Miss Xue Si, and I heard her say that she wanted to find an out-of-print ancient book, I remembered that we had it at home, but I didn't remember where I put it, so I first took the words to stabilize Miss Xue Si, and then rushed to the study to find it. If you can find it, you can lend it to Miss Xue Si. Miss Xue Si was happy, and she probably didn't care about falling into the water. It's a pity that I didn't find the book, and I was afraid that Miss Xue Si would be unhappy if she waited for a long time, so I hurried back again. Mrs. suddenly asked about this, could it be that something important was lost in the study? Even if it is really lost, it is just some books, calligraphy and paintings, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, etc., maybe it is which guest in the front table, who went to the study by the wrong way for a while, looked like it, and took it casually, I don't know. ”
Aunt Dajin sneered: "You just have a hard mouth in front of me, and when you look back and see your wife, you dare to go back like this?" There were many distinguished guests who came yesterday, and when you touched your two mouths, you said that you were a thief, how could my wife agree? ”
She smiled and said, "I just heard that Mother Qian replied to Mrs. Qian, saying that the person guarding the door of the study only saw you enter the house, and never saw anyone else coming." Even if you want to push it on others, it's not easy. What is there in the study that deserves your protection? I advise you to be honest and not to play tricks that you think are clever. Mrs. is a powerful person, you don't know her methods, beware of the girl's face being torn off by her, the master is not there, I can't protect you! ”
Xie Yingrong glared at her biological mother angrily: "To say such a thing, you are also my mother?!" ”
Aunt Dajin took a bite of her: "I was pregnant in October, why aren't you a kiss?!" ”
She grabbed her daughter, leaned closer and lowered her voice, "What did you take in the study?" Since my wife is already suspicious, I will definitely ask you when I go back, but if I can't ask, I may have to search my body! You give me the things now, and I'll hide them for you, so that you don't have to ask someone to catch it, and you will really lose all your face! ”
Xie Yingrong gritted his teeth: "I really didn't take anything!" Don't worry about this matter, auntie, whoever asks you, you say you don't know! ”
Aunt Dajin angrily threw her hand away: "You dead girl, why can't you understand?" I'm your mother, can I still harm you?! ”
However, Xie Yingrong gritted her teeth and insisted that she didn't take anything. Aunt Dajin had no choice but to glare at her hatefully a few times and said, "Since you don't recognize it, I can't do it." Speak carefully for a while, don't annoy your wife! ”
Xie Yingrong responded with a smirk.
Aunt Dajin was so angry that she asked her daughter to go out with her, but Xie Yingrong didn't agree: "The second sister is sick, and no one can take care of her." ”
Aunt Dajin looked at her suspiciously, glanced around again, thought she understood, and showed a smile: "Dead girl, be a little smart!" Then he twisted his waist and went out, and closed the door with his backhand.
As soon as she left, Xie Yingrong's face immediately drooped, and her face was ugly and terrifying.
She felt the position of her left cuff, and began to pull through the drawers on the cabinets and the boxes on the shelves again, and put the things back to their original shape, seemingly distraught.
Suddenly, she stopped her movements and looked at Xie Mulin in the corpse.
