Xie Yingrong's statement seems to be well-founded. If Xie Mulin hadn't been sure that Xiao Rui's identity was correct, he might have believed it.

But since Xiao Rui is indeed the second son of Xiao of the Zhuguo General's Mansion, Xie Yingrong's conjecture is wrong.

As for why the two people who went up the mountain to play in the mouths of Xiao Rui and Dong Huiwu appeared in the bamboo hut, it is not difficult to explain. The simplest guess is that they are lying, in order to completely clear Dong Huiwu's suspicions, lest others mistakenly believe Mrs. Qishanbo's statement and suspect that he framed his brother Dong Huijie for a private meeting with others, so that the innocent parties involved would be wronged.

That would cause too much trouble, because Dong Huiwu would offend not only his own family, but also the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion and the Zhao family, together with the palace nobles behind the former, then Dong Huiwu's life would really be difficult to protect.

As for whether Dong Huiwu is really innocent...... That's his own business. The wife of the Zhao family who broke the scene of the private meeting did not see Dong Huijie meeting with another woman to talk, the two had obvious affectionate behavior, which confirmed the private relationship between the two.

If the woman was really the Bai family as the Xie brothers and sisters speculated, then the cousins and brothers meeting and talking in private, although it was a bit impolite, but it was not too taboo, they only needed to claim that they were discussing the secret matters of the family. But Dong Huijie's actions with the woman, as well as the attempt to escape afterwards, have nothing to do with the words "above board". Can this still be framed by others? If he himself does not die, who can frame him?

Even if Dong Huiwu really did something in private, which prompted the exposure of the whole thing, because the Zhao family handled it quickly and properly, and has not yet disclosed the true identity of the woman, whether it is the mansion of the eldest princess of Yongning or the nobles in the palace, they will only think that it is a good thing, so as not to continue to be deceived, and also to avoid the royal blood being confused. Therefore, Dong Huiwu can be regarded as a meritorious service in disguise, and it is unlikely that he will be severely punished.

But sometimes, more is better than less, considering the complicated situation of the Dong family in Qishan Bofu, it is naturally a better choice to let Dong Huiwu dissociate himself from the private meeting incident.

Xie Mulin wanted to understand this, so he said to Xie Yingrong: "This is all your speculation, I can only tell you that that person is indeed Xiao Ergongzi." When my third brother and I went to visit my father in Dali Temple Prison with my mother, I saw Xiao Ergongzi. In order to take care of Dong Huiwu, who was imprisoned, he became a servant of Dali Temple, and he also talked to the people waiting around Dong Huiwu. It was he who led me and my third brother into the cell to visit him, and my father also greeted him, so there could be no mistake.

"So, your guess is not true. Regardless of whether Dong Huiwu was in the bamboo house at that time or not, the person outside the bamboo house was definitely Xiao Rui. And Xiao Rui can't cover up Dong Huijie's adultery. Therefore, the old lady and the third sister, you didn't break the scene of Dong Huijie's private meeting at that time, and no one would come to trouble you. ”

Xie Yingrong was taken aback when she heard this, and then frowned. She didn't expect Xie Mulin to know Xiao Rui, even she hadn't seen Xiao Rui herself, but she had heard rumors about this unlucky guy...... It's troublesome now, if Old Lady Xie hears Xie Mulin's words, maybe she will really be relieved. Then she wants to put Mrs. Xie out of Jinling City's wishful thinking, can she still make a sound?

finally has enough reasons, but the plan is about to fail, how can she be willing?

Xie Yingrong turned his heart sideways and said to Xie Mulin: "Is what the second sister said serious?" There are rumors outside, and even the palace has taken action, and no one can say what happened to the two brothers in Qishan Bofu, maybe there is still a matter of brothers fighting. If the eldest prince of Dong was really in the bamboo hut at that time, but he lied that he had gone up the mountain, then the matter would be complicated, maybe he was making trouble behind his back...... Such a ruthless and daring fellow, knowing that the old lady and I might expose his lies, really won't it be against us?! ”

Xie Huizhi already knew what that private meeting was going on, but he felt that Xie Yingrong's words were all nonsense, and he interjected impatiently: "Are you finished?" The second sister said it so clearly! You and the old lady have never met anyone in the bamboo hut at all, and we don't know Xiao Ergongzi. There was no one else at that time, as long as Xiao Ergongzi didn't mention it, who would ask you about it? Our family doesn't know anything in the first place! All the news came back from outside only later. What is there for Dong Huiwu to worry about? What did I really do to you, I didn't confess myself! Do you think he and Xiao Er Gongzi are so stupid?! ”

Xie Yingrong raised his neck and said, "Who knows? It's not that no one knows what we passed through there, and the Zhao family knows it very well. Who can guarantee that our family will never be affected by the pond fish? ”

Xie Huizhi rolled his eyes: "Even if you pass over there, as long as outsiders don't know that you are vulgar and rude to break into the bamboo house, they will not come to you in trouble." The old lady won't talk to you, the second sister and the second son of Xiao won't mention it, and Pearl will keep her mouth tight, who will know that you have been ugly once? Besides, there were still so many people in the view at that time, and if you really want to vent your anger, those nobles should also look for them first, instead of looking for the bad luck of us irrelevant people! You don't know anything, so you're suspicious first, and you take yourself too seriously, right?! ”

Xie Yingrong glanced at him angrily: "Do you dare to say this in front of the old lady?" What can I do? That's what the old lady thought! She was afraid, she felt that she was very important, and she also felt that the Cao family might take the opportunity to retaliate, and she couldn't listen to other people's persuasion at all. What else can I do but be obedient?! ”

When everyone heard this, they were also a little helpless. Mrs. Xie seems to be such a person.

Xie Yingrong said again: "Actually, I listened to the old lady's words, and I was also scared in my heart. Now that I have listened to what you have said, I can be regarded as at ease. I'll think about it when I go back and tell the old lady, but I don't have to be too impatient. Now is the time for the old lady to hold her mind, and if we refute her, she will never believe it. We just closed the door and lived our own little life, no one outside would come to us, and the old lady was not really sick, she just worried all day long. After a few days, when the wind is calm outside, I will slowly persuade her, and she will naturally let go. Whatever you say to her now, it's useless, but you will be scolded in vain! ”

Wen frowned: "Is this appropriate?" Wouldn't it be terrible if the old lady was so frightened that she got sick? Besides, she would be just as angry if she found out afterwards that we were hiding the truth from her. Let's explain the reason to her old man, even if she doesn't believe it at this time, she can feel at ease. With that, she stood up.

Xie Yingrong sighed: "I am also thinking about my wife and brothers and sisters. Didn't you set off tomorrow? If the old lady knew that the situation outside was different from what she imagined, and she would have told you to inquire everywhere, then how would you leave tomorrow? ”

That's a problem. Wen hesitated.

Xie Yingrong said again: "The old lady has me by her side, her aunt, Sister Pearl and her two mothers, we will take care of her and don't let her get sick." In fact, it is not a bad thing that the old lady is afraid, so she will want to go out to socialize all day long. The wife also knows the old lady's temperament...... When she goes out to mingle with people, she really has more evil than good friends, which is not good for her father at all. But she didn't understand herself, and we couldn't persuade her. If the old lady's misunderstanding could make her old man quiet for a while, we would be much less worried. ”

Wen listened and sat down slowly. She thinks Xie Yingrong's words seem to have some truth?
