Chapter 49: Old Things

It's night

Everyone in the Wenfu has turned off the lights and rested.

A dark figure silently walked out along the wall.

From time to time, he looked back and forth, left and right, extremely cautious, as if he was afraid that others would find out.

After the weeping flower gate, go further on, and you will find the back door.

He was overjoyed, and walked towards the back door.

By this time, the man guarding the back door had leaned against the wall and was asleep.

He crept over, took the deadbolt and opened the door, and walked out.

However, as soon as he stepped out with his front foot, a voice sounded in the darkness: "More deeply exposed, where is Steward Xu going?" ”

This person is none other than the housekeeper of the Wenfu and the housekeeper of Xu.

Steward Xu was taken aback and raised his eyes.

The lights have been lit outside the door, up to Mrs. Wen and Wen Jin, down to Wen Xinyi and Wen Shuangyi, but the masters of the Wen Mansion are basically guarding the door.

This battle is obviously waiting for him here.

"I ...... I ......"

Steward Xu 'me' for a long time, and I didn't say a word.

Wen Jin calmed his face and said, "Tie him up." ”

The attendants below answered, and tied up Steward Xu firmly after dividing five by two.

In the flower hall, the lights are bright.

Wen Jin sat at the top.

Steward Xu knelt in front of the hall.

Both were silent.

After a long time, Wen Jin sighed and took the lead in speaking: "Xuchang, you have been in my Wen family for more than fifteen years, and I think I treat you well, but I never thought that you would collude with outsiders and want the Wen family to change hands. ”

Xu Chang is the name of Xu's housekeeper.

Hearing his words, Steward Xu raised his head, pulled out a mocking smile, and then asked, "Treat me well?" ”

Wen Jin was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Isn't it?" Up and down this Wen family, apart from me, who dares to shout loudly in front of you? Over the years, how much benefit have you made in the name of a housekeeper? It's not that I don't know, I just think that money is something outside the body, as long as it's not a big deal, I turn a blind eye and let you go, is this so, am I still wrong? ”

After hearing his words, Steward Xu raised his head and snorted coldly, "So what? I'm not a dog in front of you? I'll have to do what you tell me to do? When he said this, his eyes fell on Mrs. Wen's face, as if he remembered something extremely unpleasant, and then said: "Even my fiancΓ©e, whom I have been married to since childhood, finally became your wife." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room had different faces.

All of a sudden, I was stunned.

But Butler Xu seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's reactions, and continued: "If it weren't for that, would you and I be willing to join your Wenfu as a little butler?" ”

Wen Jin frowned and glanced at Mrs. Wen.

Mrs. Wen also shook her head at him with a puzzled face.

What the hell is going on?

She doesn't know.

As if knowing their doubts, Steward Xu snorted coldly and asked Mrs. Wen, "Did Uncle Fang tell you that you ordered a baby kiss when you were young?" ”

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Wen was a little impressed, nodded, and said with some puzzlement: "Yes, but the family business back then, Xu ......" She said here as if she remembered something, and exclaimed: "You are Uncle Xu's son?" ”

Steward Xu snorted coldly, turned his head away, and said, "You still remember." ”

Mrs. Wen was slightly embarrassed, obviously remembered.

Wen Jin couldn't help asking, "Madam, what's going on?" ”

Mrs. Wen blushed and said, "Brother Jin, do you remember that when you went to my house to propose, my father said that I had a marriage contract?" ”

Wen Jin nodded, when he went to propose, it was because of this marriage contract that he and Mrs. Wen almost missed it.

Seeing him nodding, Mrs. Wen said again: "The object of the marriage contract is Steward Xu." ”

Wen Jin was stunned for a moment, his gaze wandering between Mrs. Wen and Steward Xu.

At this time, Mrs. Wen had nothing to hide, explaining: "I and he are both Chongzhou people, Aunt Xu and my mother are friends, when she was pregnant, the two families made this family business, but later Chongzhou sent a big flood, our two families fled together, but they were separated halfway, my mother went at that time, after my father and I fled to Qingzhou, I lost contact with Uncle Xu's family, and then my father inquired in many ways, and the people who saw Uncle Xu said that he was gone, and asked about Xuchang's whereabouts, and no one knew. ”

She sighed, and continued: "After a few years, when I reached the age when I should get married, no one from the Xu family came to the door, and my father felt that the Xu family should be out of business, so you came to the door to propose marriage, so you will respond." ”

When Steward Xu heard her words, he snorted coldly and said, "In the final analysis, your family is not trustworthy." ”

After the two families were separated, he was the only one left in the Xu family, and he traveled to many places, and finally found out her whereabouts, but he didn't want her to marry a wife.

At that time, he really wanted to go with his father.

But in the end, it was weak once.

Mrs. Wen pursed her lips and said, "Back then, the two families made a marriage, but it was just a verbal contract, I married Brother Jin at fifteen and eighteen, and waited for you for three years, isn't it enough?" Don't you have to wait for you for the rest of your life if you don't show up? ”

Steward Xu choked and said, "Shouldn't you wait?" I am your fiancΓ©, and before the two families have dissolved the marriage contract, you will marry someone else, isn't this a broken promise? ”

Mrs. Wen was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to be so messing around.

He was dumb for a moment.

"You said you are your uncle's fiancΓ©, do you have a letter of appointment?" However, before she could speak, Yun Rong's voice rang out.

Steward Xu was stunned for a moment.

It's all said that it's a verbal appointment, so how can there be any letter of appointment?

Yun Rong raised her eyebrows and said, "There is no letter of appointment, why do you say that your aunt is your fiancΓ©e?" Since she is not a fiancΓ©e, how can she say that she broke her promise? ”

Her words are eye-catching.

Steward Xu was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "But she also admitted just now that she and I have a marriage contract." ”

Hearing this, Yun Rong glanced at Mrs. Wen and asked, "Auntie, have you ever had a marriage contract with him?" ”

Mrs. Wen tugged at the corners of her mouth, shook her head, and said, "No." ”

Back then, she didn't feel that there was anything to be sorry for the Xu family.

Yun Rong nodded, looked at Steward Xu and said, "Did you hear clearly?" My aunt said, you two don't have a marriage contract, you don't have a marriage contract, what kind of fiancΓ© are you? ”

"You ......" Steward Xu seemed to be very angry, pointed at them, and didn't say anything for a long time.

However, Yun Rong didn't give him another chance to speak, she looked at Steward Xu and said, "This matter is settled, then we should talk about your betrayal and glory." ”

Steward Xu 'chuckled' in his heart, and he didn't start with a little weakness and didn't speak.

Yun Rong didn't seem to have any intention of letting him speak, and asked directly, "Who are you?" ”

Steward Xu was stunned for a moment.

Yun Rong frowned, thinking that he understood, and said, "Or, who did you frame your uncle with?" ”

Steward Xu's eyes flashed slightly, turned his face away, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

Yun Rong pursed her lips, nodded, and said, "Then let me ask you again, where is my pear blossom?" ”

Steward Xu didn't speak.

Yun Rong was not in a hurry, and shouted towards the door: "Someone." ”

As soon as the words fell, an attendant walked in and asked, "Master, madam, what do you command?" ”

Yun Rong pointed to the kneeling housekeeper Xu and said, "Pick him up." ”

The attendant raised his head a little embarrassed, looked at Wen Jin and Mrs. Wen at the top, and then asked in a low voice, "Miss Biao, are you going to strip naked?" ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Steward Xu's face, then turned back and swept Yun Rong, and said secretly: "This taste is a bit heavy." ”

Yun Rong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that they had misunderstood what he meant.

With a red face, he said, "I mean, let you search all the things on him." ”

Only then did the attendant react and put away his wild thoughts.

After a few strokes, he searched all the things on Steward Xu's body: "Miss Table, the search is over." ”

"Hmm." Yun Rong responded and waved her hand.

And the attendant withdrew.

She crouched down and looked at it, there were a lot of things, silver tickets, and some jewelry.

But at first glance, she saw that they were valuables, and she reached out and picked them up in the pile.

Then he took out the pear blossom pendant lying at the bottom, shook it in front of Steward Xu, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Steward Xu turned his head away and didn't speak.

"Huh." At this moment, Wen Shuangyi on the side exclaimed, she pointed to a red thing in the pile of jewelry and said, "Mother, isn't that the eight-treasure hairpin you lost?" ”

As she spoke, she stood up and walked over, and directly took out the red eight-treasure hairpin.

Mrs. Wen took a look and found that it was true: "I just said why it disappeared suddenly, it turned out that it was taken by you." ”

This hairpin was given to her by Wen Jin on her birthday.

She loved it.

Yun Rong said with a cold face: "I thought that you were just betraying the master, but I didn't expect you to be a thief." ”

Steward Xu frowned and said, "I picked that hairpin, I'll take it away again, what's wrong?" ”

Yun Rong sneered and said, "You picked it, and you didn't buy it, why did you take it?" According to you, as long as I pick something from the shop on the street, I can take it at will? ”

Steward Xu choked and didn't speak.

Yun Rong didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said to Wen Jin: "Uncle, since the matter has been clear, this housekeeper Xu will send it to the official mansion tomorrow." ”

Wen Jin nodded, and was about to speak, but Mrs. Wen took the first step to speak: "Brother Jin, why don't you let him go." ”

"Why?" Wen Jin was puzzled.

Mrs. Wen sighed and said: "He met me once, by mistake, I became your wife, and he became a housekeeper, so I owe him and repay his love, and I will not owe each other in the future." ”

Yun Rong didn't speak.

Wen Jin pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on Steward Xu for a long time before he spit out a word: "Okay." ”
