Chapter 70: Questioning, Even if It's Being a Concubine
"I'll ask you what to say, speak!" Seeing that Du Ziyu didn't answer for a long time, Lord Du was already a little angry, and his tone was very heavy.
Where did Du Ziyu dare to tell the truth, so she had to reply hesitantly: "No...... It's nothing. ”
"Nothing?" Lord Du obviously didn't believe this, "It's nothing, will you kneel down towards Lord Huo?" It's nothing, Lord Huo will leave without looking back? ”
Du Ziyu bit the corner of her lip stubbornly, how dare she tell the truth, but she can't do such a thing if she lies in front of her father. was anxious, but he was always at a loss, and a layer of fine sweat instantly appeared on Du Ziyu's forehead.
"I ......"
Du Ziyu didn't finish her thoughts, but was interrupted by Master Du. Master Du instructed Xiu'er: "Go and call Madame." ”
"Daddy!" Du Ziyu was in a hurry, Lord Du was busy with official business, rarely disciplined his children, and the affairs of the back house have always been handled by Mrs. Du. Du Ziyu knew that when his father called his mother at this time, he was actually asking his mother to punish him.
If she did such a thing, she would lose the face of the Du family, and no matter how much her mother, Mrs. Du, loved her, she would inevitably be furious.
"Daddy, you listen to me, I ......"
Master Du waved his hand, "Go to the study, and as for those explanations, keep them and tell your mother." Master Du didn't want to listen to Du Ziyu's explanation, he felt tired, rubbed his eyebrows twice, and turned around and walked into the study.
Du Ziyu followed behind her slowly, wondering how she should explain. Telling the truth will inevitably make her parents angry, she doesn't dare, but if she doesn't tell the truth, how can she explain?
Her mind was messy, and Du Ziyu regretted it, knowing that she shouldn't be in such a hurry.
But there has never been a regret medicine in the world, and before Du Ziyu could figure out how to explain it, her mother, Mrs. Du, had already come.
"Master, what is this?" Mrs. Du didn't know why, Xiu'er went to invite her over, but she only said that the master ordered it, but she didn't say what it was.
Master Du pointed at Du Ziyu, "You ask her yourself." ”
There was something wrong with her husband's tone, Mrs. Du's brows furrowed slightly, and she walked to Du Ziyu's side, "Yu'er, what's going on?" ”
"Daughter...... The daughter had a little misunderstanding with Master Huo......" Du Ziyu hung her head slightly, and she didn't dare to look at her mother.
Afraid that Mrs. Du would ask questions, Du Ziyu hurriedly added: "Daughter, I'm going to apologize to Master Huo." ”
"Stop!" Du Ziyu wanted to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she was stopped by Mrs. Du before she could step out.
Mrs. Du stepped forward, blocked Du Ziyu's way, glanced at her, and then fell on Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, you say!" ”
Finished......
Du Ziyu couldn't help but tremble.
"At that time, the slave and maid were bringing tea to the master, and the slave and maid didn't know it." Xiu'er lowered her eyes and replied, if the young lady was to be punished, as a personal maid, she would definitely not be able to escape the involvement, so she must not tell the truth.
However, Mrs. Du didn't believe it, "You are Miss's personal maid, don't say you don't know, say!" ”
Xiu'er hung her head, "Slave ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Mrs. Du say in a deep voice: "If you don't want to be beaten, tell Mrs. Ben the truth!" ”
"Don't think that Mrs. Ben notices everything, I felt that something was wrong a few days ago, but I was busy taking care of the affairs of the house these days, and I didn't take care of you." Mrs. Du looked at Xiu'er and scolded angrily, "Say! ”
Xiu'er raised her head slightly and looked at Du Ziyu: What should I do, Mrs. has already noticed it.
However, where does Du Ziyu know what to do, if her father and mother know that she has a longing for Xie Tianxing, her father, who has always attached importance to the rules, will beat her to death. If you say it, you will die, but if you don't say it, you will die.
Du Ziyu gritted her teeth fiercely, turned her heart sideways, knelt straight to the ground, slammed her knees on the floor, and made a crisp sound, "Father, mother, it's all my daughter's fault." ”
Lord Du and Mrs. Du glanced at each other, both frowning, both puzzled and worried.
"Daughter......" Du Ziyu bit the tip of her tongue, and Fang continued, "My daughter fell in love with Xie Tianxing Xie Gongzi, but Master Huo disagreed, so my daughter begged him." ”
"It's the daughter who is shameless, all the mistakes are the daughter's fault, the father and mother want to beat and scold, and the daughter admits it, but this matter has nothing to do with Xiu'er, and please don't punish her."
Du Ziyu carried all the things, which made Xiu'er very moved, she thought of Miss Suri's kindness to her, and couldn't help kneeling on the ground at the moment, and said bluntly: "Master, madam, don't blame Miss, it's the slave's fault." If it weren't for the slave maid who gave Miss a bad idea and asked her to pretend to be a maid to see Lord Huo's appearance, Miss would not have met Master Xie by mistake. ”
The words spoken by the master and servant were more shocking than the other, Mrs. Du's eyes widened, and she pointed at Du Ziyu and scolded angrily: "Yu'er, how did my mother teach you on weekdays, you are everyone's best girl, how can you do such a thing!" I also beg Lord Huo, you ...... You've really disgraced your father's face. If you go to ask Lord Huo for this kind of thing, what will Lord Huo think of your father in the future? ”
Mrs. Du only felt embarrassed and threw herself to her grandmother's house, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, she likes a foreign man and does not say anything, and she also asks for fulfillment, what is the matter!
"Yu'er, didn't my mother tell you? Lord Huo was born in a famous family and has a bright future, my mother asked you to marry Lord Huo, but now you say that you like Xie Tianxing. Who is Xie Tianxing? is just a guard, how can he be compared with the son of the Hou Mansion! ”
Mrs. Du's angry mind is congested, how could she give birth to such a stupid daughter, a good Hou Mansion prince doesn't want it, she actually likes a lowly guard, she really wants to pry open her daughter's brain and see what is inside.
"And you!" Mrs. Du pointed at Xiu'er, "Mrs. Ben saw that you were clever, so she asked you to serve Miss, you are indeed clever, and you actually gave Miss a bad idea." Come on, pull down, hit! ”
Du Ziyu is her own daughter in the end, and Mrs. Du couldn't give up that heart for a while, so she simply took Xiu'er out of anger first.
Xiu'er's face turned pale, and she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she begs Mrs. for forgiveness." The lord, the lady, the slave and the maid will never dare again, I really don't dare......"
Mrs. Du was angry at this moment, where would she spare Xiu'er, and scolded the mother-in-law at the throat: "Pull her down immediately, beat me, hit hard!" ”
Beat this to death, if it weren't for her bad idea, how could her originally well-behaved daughter do something that would lose face.
Seeing that it was useless to beg Mrs. Xiu'er, she shifted her gaze to Du Ziyu again, crying and shouting: "Miss, Miss, save the slave maid......"
Du Ziyu was originally a soft-hearted master, Xiu'er served her, but now that Xiu'er was beaten because of her, she also felt guilty, and begged Mrs. Du, "Mother, it's all your daughter's fault, it's not about Xiu'er, just let her go." ”
"Shut up!"
As everyone knows, the more Du Ziyu pleaded, the more Mrs. Du felt that it was Xiu'er, a cheap maid, who harmed Du Ziyu.
"If it weren't for this whispering in your ear, how could you have done such a ridiculous thing. Xiu'er, a, is not an exaggeration to kill. ”
Xiu'er's face turned pale with fright, like a piece of paper, and it was too much to kill, and her life could not be saved. was so frightened that she lost her strength in an instant, and let her mother-in-law drag her away.
"Wait!" Just when Xiu'er thought she was going to die, Master Du spoke up.
Lord Du instructed the mothers-in-law, "You all go down." ”
Mother-in-law, look at me, I look at you, a mother-in-law boldly asked, "Do you want to fight that Xiu'er?" ”
The old man only said to let them go down, and he didn't say whether he wanted to deal with Xiu'er, so he had to ask clearly.
Master Du was silent for a moment, and then said, "Put her in the firewood room first." ”
That is, if you don't fight, Xiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, her limbs have a little strength, and it is better to be locked in the firewood room than to be killed.
"You all go down." Master Du once again waved away all the subordinates in the study.
Mrs. Du was very puzzled, and when there were only three of them in the study, she hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
Push all the subordinates, I'm afraid that there is something important.
"Yu'er, let me ask you, what did Master Huo tell you?" Master Du looked at Du Ziyu.
Du Ziyu thought that her father would be furious when she knew the truth, who would have thought that her father had been silent for a long time, and the first thing she said to her was not to scold, but to ask about what happened, which was really much beyond Du Ziyu's expectations.
Although it was confusing, my father didn't scold, which is of course a good thing. Du Ziyu immediately said Huo Sijin's answers one by one......
A gleam flashed in Master Du's eyes, "Lord Huo really told you that Gongzi Xie is not his subordinate?" ”
Du Ziyu nodded, "Lord Huo did say so, and my daughter remembers it very clearly." ”
She originally thought that Xie Tianxing was Huo Sijin's subordinate, so she would ask Huo Sijin to fulfill it, but who would have thought that Huo Sijin would say that she was not Xie Tianxing's boss.
Mrs. Du was confused, but she and Lord Du have been married for many years, and they know Lord Du's mind best, and since he specifically asked, there must be a purpose.
"Sir, what the hell is going on?" Mrs. Du asked.
Master Du muttered thoughtfully: "Lord Huo said that he is not Xie Tianxing's boss, and he has a lot of respect for this guard on weekdays. Xie Tianxing, his surname is Xie, and the maternal family of His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace is surnamed Xie, if I guess correctly, this Gongzi Xie is the cousin of His Royal Highness the Prince's maternal family. ”
Immediately, Master Du said to Du Ziyu with a straight face: "Yu'er, my father asked you, are you willing to marry Gongzi Xie?" Even if it's to be a concubine? ”
"Master......" Mrs. Du's heart jumped, the word "concubine", Lord Du said very lightly, but she knew that this was the focus of Lord Du.
Concubines, women are concubines, and concubines are not concubines.
The daughter of the dignified Lord Zhizhou is a concubine, this is too wronged, right?
