Chapter 553: Confession
Xie Xianzhi did not return to his residence until the sun went down.
He told Xie Mulin that the Queen Mother and her entourage only stayed in Bao'en Temple for less than two hours before leaving, and the eldest princess Yongning had always been by her side, so the follow-up aftermath affairs were led by Ma Ergongzi and Ma Yurong, brother and sister. Xie Xianzhi has been by Ma Ergongzi's side today, so he also took a hand by the way, so he delayed coming back until this time.
However, before he left the temple, he went to visit his eldest sister Xie Yinghui and confirmed that she was in good condition today, but the wound hurt so much that she couldn't sleep and eat, and she looked a little haggard, and she didn't have much appetite for food, so she barely ate half a bowl of bird's nest porridge. However, when she heard that Xie Yingrong had been arrested, her spirits immediately lifted a lot. If it weren't for the fact that her injuries couldn't leave the imperial doctor of the Yongning Eldest Princess Mansion for the time being, she wouldn't want to come back and scold people immediately.
Xie Mulin was a little amused when he heard it: "If the eldest sister can bear the pain of the wound, it is nothing to come back and scold the third sister temporarily, as long as she can regain her spirits because of this." The third sister has caused so much trouble to the family, and occasionally needs to play a positive role, otherwise wouldn't there be no value in existence? ”
Xie Xianzhi couldn't understand it, but he could guess the meaning of Xie Mulin's words, and scolded her: "Second sister laughed again." Then he asked, "How is the third sister?" Honest, isn't it? Where has she been in the past two days? Have you ever met any messy people? ”
Xie Mulin shrugged his shoulders and motioned him to look at the room in the backyard where Xie Yingrong was closed: "The doors and windows of the house here are not made of particularly strong and good wood, they may be a little thin, and they were slapped and beaten by the third sister in the house, pushing and dragging them, and it felt as if they would be broken by her at any time." Fortunately, she lost her strength before the doors and windows were broken, so you think she's pretty quiet at this point.
"I asked her to only provide her with two steamed buns and a pot of sugar and brine as the standard of three meals a day, she will not starve to death, but it is estimated that she will not have much strength. Shut it up for two days first, and then grind off her bad temper. I listened to her shouting when she was noisy, and it seemed that she had some important plans left unfulfilled today, so she was anxious to get out. If it was too late today, she probably knew that her plan had failed, so she stopped. But whether she will make trouble tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, no one knows. ”
Xie Xianzhi frowned when he heard this: "What's the matter?" What other big plans could she have? ”
Xie Mulin knew something, after Beeswax was arrested, she was locked up in the firewood room for less than half a day before she softened, and she didn't need to be interrogated, she told everything she knew. But it didn't have much effect, because Xie Yingrong hid a lot of things from this girl, such as when she talked face-to-face with Miss Xue Si, she didn't let Beeswax stay in front of her.
Beeswax only knew that Xie Yingrong heard that the inn's kid's family was working in Dongchang, so he bribed the other party with jewelry, and asked the other party to agree to take their master and servant to escape over the wall, hide in the head office of the Dongchang on the dock, and send a message to Xue Si Girl, on the grounds of "there is important news about Xue Si Girl's marriage", and invite people to come over to talk face-to-face.
Xie Yingrong seemed to use the excuse that her sister was the granddaughter of the Cao family and had a close relationship with the Yongning Eldest Princess's Mansion, so she persuaded the big shopkeeper of the Dongchang to help convey this request. But in order to persuade Miss Xue Si to come, Xie Yingrong reluctantly wrote a handwritten letter to the other party under the persuasion of the big shopkeeper. Beeswax didn't know the content of the letter, it wasn't that Xie Yingrong was hindering her, but that she didn't know how to read at all.
Miss Xue really came after reading the letter, but when she was talking with Xie Yingrong in the house, the beeswax was blocked out of the door, and the people of the Xue family stared at each other, only knowing that the girl of the Xue family thought that Xie Yingrong was coercing her to repay her kindness, and opened her mouth to the Xue Fourth Girl with the so-called life-saving grace a year ago. In fact, even if Xie Yingrong didn't go into the water to save people last year, the Xie family would have other people to save Xue Si Girl, and there were girls around Xue Si Girl who knew how to water, this so-called kindness was just Xie Yingrong forced to come from herself, and the Xue family didn't recognize it at all, so when the Xie family had an accident last year, no one in the Xue Mansion said a word.
Beeswax listened to the words of the Xue family's maidens and mothers-in-law, and was very angry, she didn't dare to offend this high-ranking family, but she told Xie Yingrong in private. But Xie Yingrong didn't care at all, she trusted Miss Xue very much, and didn't take the gossip of a few subordinates to heart, and seemed to believe that the information she provided was very beneficial to Miss Xue Si, and the other party would be grateful to Dade in the future and become a close friend who supported each other.
Beeswax didn't know how Xie Yingrong and Xue Si girl agreed, only that the latter helped Xie Yingrong rent a secluded house near Bao'en Temple, and semi-forcibly let the owner of the house move out, and then Xie Yingrong took the Bian family to live in, saying that the Queen Mother's car would pass there, and as long as the Bian family offered a few pots of hot water to the Queen Mother, they could get the Queen Mother's reward or something. In addition, there is also an unknown official lady, Xie Yingrong and Xue Si once mentioned that she was "very in the way", and asked her to be quieter and not run out to ruin their plans.
When Xie Xianzhi heard this, he couldn't help but get nervous: "Which official lady is it?" What are the third sisters and Xue Fourth girls going to do to her?! ”
Xie Mulin shook his head: "Beeswax only knows so much, this is what she overheard, the third sister and the fourth girl Xue always avoid her and the other girls when they discuss matters, it is not easy for her to know this." However, according to her, listening to the tone of the third sister, she shouldn't do anything too much to the official lady, just let her be quiet for the time being, don't spoil the matter of the third sister and the fourth girl Xue in the Bao'en Temple, it is estimated that it is either to let people stop the other party, or to lock the other party in some room, right? But how could there be a shortage of attendants around the official lady? Bao'en Temple is not a place for random outsiders to mess around, and the young lady is at most frightened, or a little injured or something, and it won't be a big deal. ”
She looked at Xie Xianzhi: "The eldest brother is in the temple, so he didn't hear any news?" ”
Xie Xianzhi frowned and said, "I have been accompanying Ma Er Gongzi and staying in the place where the male pilgrims gather, and I don't know the news from the female family. I'll go and ask Miss Ma tomorrow, I'm afraid that the third sister will cause some big disaster and harm innocent people. After that, he despised Miss Xue Si by the way, "The tutor of the Xue family, how could he teach such a girl?!" This is the sister of the crown princess, right? I hope the crown princess is not such a ridiculous character! ”
Xie Xianzhi was still very worried, what plans did Xie Yingrong and Xue Si have in Bao'en Temple? He believed that these two girls would not dare to do anything offensive to the nobles, but even if they came up with some unconventional way to please the queen mother, it would be shameful enough. He didn't ask this clearly, he was a little scared to see the eldest princess of Yongning!
Xie Mulin had already heard from Beeswax what happened between Xie Yingrong and the Bian family in that small house on the side of the road and the Queen Mother and her party. When she told Xie Xianzhi that the Bian family paid a pot of hot water and got a set of stoves and bottles, and she didn't feel very satisfied, even Xie Xianzhi was surprised.
Fortunately, the Bian family finally figured it out, and after learning that Cheng Du's condition had improved, he went to Ningguohou's Mansion to visit the patient, and was very grateful to Xie Yingrong for the prescription he took out, and did not go to Bao'en Temple with Xie Yingrong. He just wondered, "Where did the third sister get such a good prescription?" The prescription she used when she was sick before, she seems to have taken medicine for a long time before it improved, doesn't it seem like such a miracle cure? ”
Xie Mulin didn't care about the prescription, he just wanted to know one thing: "The third sister doesn't know what she discussed with Miss Xue Si, why did the other party suddenly turn his face now?" ”
