Chapter 16: Rumors
After leaving Haoranju, Xia Min did not go back to her Yayuan, but abducted the "burrow" of the big guy.
There was one thing she should have started a long time ago, but she had been watching her for the past few days, and now she didn't want to wait for a day.
This time, the big guy seems to have seen his arrival, and he didn't even save a greeting......
"Inside, brother...... There's one thing I'd like to ask my brother for help with......"
"Say."
"Brother, do you know martial arts? I want to learn martial arts from my brother. ”
Hearing her say this, Xia Yi finally looked at her rarely.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"
"Because Min'er wants to protect herself, what happened two days ago is terrible."
After speaking, he looked at him with tears in his eyes.
Xia Yi thought about it for a moment and decided. "It's okay to teach you martial arts, but you have to promise me three conditions."
"Brother, you say."
"First, this matter should be done in secret, and no one should find out."
Xia Min thought of her father and mother's way of opposing her contact with him, and she couldn't wait. "This one does."
"Second, from now on, you are no longer allowed to pretend in front of me, and you will give me whatever you should be."
Hearing this, she chuckled in her heart, no, did the big guy find something? When was it discovered? How was it discovered? It doesn't make sense, she feels like she's pretending to be pretty good......
"This ...... This can also be ......"
"As for the third, I want you to grant me a request without violating your bottom line."
This one is the easiest.
"Okay, then we'll make a decision."
"There's nothing else you can do, forget it today, and find a way to go out of the house to meet in the woods in the suburbs every night in the future."
"Okay, then I'll go first, brother."
Hearing the title, Xia Yi's face, which had been stiff, softened his rare lines.
This time she didn't go anywhere else, she went straight back to her own garden. However, when she saw Mrs. Xia sitting in her room, she was a little speechless, she was really busy today, she was busy here and there, and there was another side after she was busy......
"Mother, why are you here so late?"
"You know it's so late? Where have you been for so long? Feelings almost made you lose your life this time, and it hasn't made you remember it for a long time, right? ”
"Mother, don't worry, listen to me. That's the case, we are also a scholarly family, aren't we people who pay attention to the rules, last time we were mortal...... Eh, how can the second master sacrifice himself to protect his daughter, how can his daughter be ungrateful and not even say thank you? In addition, he is going to leave in the next two days, so his daughter pondered that he asked someone to pack some good wine and food in the restaurant outside and have dinner at the second master's side, of course, there were many people present throughout the whole process. ”
Xia Min's face was not red, and her heart was not beating, and she said that she was a perfect lady.
"Mother doesn't have to take care of you, since you know so well in your heart, I can't say anything, but you have to think about the consequences before you do everything, you know?" There was a pause here, and then Mrs. Xia continued, "We also have to have our own attitude, just live comfortably, and don't care too much about other people's eyes." Okay, okay, it's not too early, I'll go back and rest, you can go to bed early. ”
Xia Min also accepted all of these contradictory words without expressing the slightest doubt.
After sending Mrs. Xia away, she put away the innocent expression on her face and called Xinxin, "You go to my mother's yard to inquire if anything has happened from noon today to now, or what Madame has heard, and write down some things that you think are special or different from usual." ”
Xinxin was stunned for a moment, until she answered decisively without asking anything. "Yes Miss."
Xinxin, this girl has made great progress during this time, and she has been growing up with her.
Xia Min, who had been preparing for a long time, had not finished drinking a cup of tea, and the little girl came back.
"So fast?"
"That...... Because it's a good thing to inquire about......"
But isn't it, it's basically known to everyone now in just half a day.
Seeing Xinxin's face stop talking, Xia Min's curiosity was aroused. "What do you say?"
"That's right...... There are now rumors outside that the daughter of the county magistrate encountered robbers in the suburbs a few days ago, and most of them are ...... now Mostly ......"
Xia Min's face sank instantly.
The original words must be much more ugly than what Xinxin said, and Sheng Fan's identity must not be exposed, and the robbery must not be put on the surface. This is someone who calculated that she wanted to eat coptis dumbly and set her up, and she was impatient to live on her aunt and grandmother.
"Xinxin, take some money and go out to find out which group of people shook out this rumor in the first place, and which group of people promoted it. Go now, and when you can't find a clue, go to those who are called Hanako and the little two in the teahouse to inquire, these people are short of money and have heard a lot of information. ”
"Yes, miss."
When the investigation began here, there were two places that had already been effective, and sure enough, she was the last person to know the news.
In the dilapidated courtyard, Xia Yi's cold face listened to Ying Yi's report.
"The rumors of the eldest lady came out of Yuqiong Restaurant a few days ago, and many parties came out to testify at that time. In addition, the eldest lady was locked up for a few days and was also used by people with intentions, making everyone mistakenly think that the eldest lady was punished for doing something degrading, so the rumors became popular today. ”
So it's Yang Qian'er and Xia Ling? When did they get together?
Hehe, no matter how they got together, their hands reached out to his territory, and his appetite was too good.
"The best way to get people to forget about one rumor is to create another, bigger rumor, and since the two of them are so interested in this kind of thing, you can find some people to show them how to feel."
Eichi shuddered, his master would never be able to match. The means are ruthless, one blow hits the opponent's fatal point, and he is ruthless to himself when he does things extremely, and people have no weaknesses...... It's simply a perfect predator machine with no feelings.
and Haoranju's side also got the news one step ahead of her, but unlike Xia Yi, Sheng Fan didn't want to figure out who was behind the small action at the first time, but focused on how to clear Xia Min's reputation.
Sheng Fan walked around the house anxiously, he knew how important the girl's name was to them, but he didn't expect it to affect Min'er's little girl so much......
After a moment's hesitation, he ordered the shadow to be called.
"Shadow, you go out and spread another message, just say that the eldest lady of the Xia family and I did have dinner at Yuqiong Restaurant that day, because the two of us got married that day and became brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, so we went there to celebrate. There was indeed a group of ruffians and hooligans who went to make trouble that day, but at that time, they were subdued by my subordinates and sent to the government. ”
"This ...... Second prince, this is a big problem, and Miss Xia will confirm the fact that you are brothers and sisters, although they have different surnames, they also have the name of a brother and sister...... Is it okay to be so? ”
"You just have to do it, whether it matters or not, I can't let her suffer this grievance after all......"
"Yes."
However, Xia Min didn't know about the movements in these two places, and it was already the afternoon of the next day when she waited for Xinxin's exact news.
