Zhong Jinxiu didn't give her face in front of her mother's family.

But did he handle that matter?

It's only been one morning.

Shen Mingze stepped forward and stood in front of Zhong Jinxiu, Zhong Lang looked at the two of them, talented and beautiful.

They only found out after their sister walked for half a year, but they didn't know what their sister had done in the past six months.

Someone ruined the trace, Zhong Lang looked at Shen Mingze, and was sure that he was the one who destroyed the trace.

Although he was curious about what happened to his sister in that half a year, he would rather not know anything than his sister's reputation.

Just like Shen Mingze's external interpretation, her sister has been in Jiangnan and is with Shen Mingze.

That's enough.

"Second brother, I have someone here who wants to go to Yunnan, and I will take him with you when you leave."

"Who?"

"The people around me, go to Yunnan to do some business, he has never been to Yunnan, let them follow you, be safer."

Zhong Lang knew better, but he didn't doubt it.

"That's not a thing."

Shen Mingze listened to his arrangement, he wanted Ah Xiang to go to Yunnan to do business, which gave him enough face, but he didn't care about this.

He didn't care about the money, at first he wanted to find out something, and sent Ah Xiang out, so as not to make Peaches uncomfortable when he saw others all day long, but he never wanted to find out something dirty, and the matter of self-theft by the guards was originally big or small.

Watch Ah Xiang's attitude.

Zhong Ming didn't know what was wrong with their family, so he said, "By the way, Mingze, I just happened to have something to do with you, let's go to the study." ”

Zhong Jinxiu led the child to talk to her sister-in-law.

Zhong Jinxiu originally wanted to stay at night, but when Shen Mingze came, her eldest brother and sister-in-law didn't dare to keep her.

When they returned to Shen's house, Yin was waiting at the door, and Yin heard An's mother say that the two had an awkward quarrel, which was really afraid that something would happen to them.

After lunch, he ordered Shen Mingze to pick her up.

"Tell me about you, you just came back and made a fuss, so you can't let us rest in peace." As he spoke, he took the child into his hands, and then glanced at them, "Your father has been missing his grandson recently, and I took the child away." ”

This is to make them make a fuss, just don't toss the children.

Zhong Jinxiu didn't care, and then went back to his courtyard.

Shen Mingze followed up, and the two of them were not really angry, they did whatever they had to do.

The next day, Shen Mingze got up and went to the morning court, and when he was at the door, he met a woman, and when he saw him come out, he knelt in front of him.

"I beg Lord Shen to be gracious." The woman said sadly.

Shen Mingze arrived slightly in surprise.

"Who are you? But what grievances in the family need the help of the official? ”

"My lord, I'm Konishi, don't you know me?"

Shen Mingze's appearance of who Xiaoxi was, made the beauty sad.

The woman looked at her in shock, and two lines of tears rolled down.

"Xiaoxi knows that this move is very presumptuous, begging Lord Shen to let Ah Xiang go, if he leaves, what should Xiaoxi do?"

Only then did Shen Mingze know who she was.

It turned out to be this girl, who bothered her cousin.

"It's you."

Seeing that he finally remembered himself, Xiaoxi felt inexplicably relieved in his heart, and said:

"I beg Lord Shen to have mercy on the slave maid, the slave maid can only meet Ah Xiang in this life and admit that he treats me sincerely, he is burdened by me, so he has bad thoughts, and he has no second heart for you."

"Oh? How is it burdened by you? ”

"It's Xiaoxi who is greedy for wealth and nobility, loves vanity, and hides it from the outside world is a matter of Ah Xiang's woman, and outsiders ask me if I am Lord Shen, the concubine you raised outside, and Xiaoxi is also ambiguous and does not explain..."

"Oh, I see."

"Lord Shen? Ah Xiang, he's not wrong, can you let her go? Xiaoxi raised his head slightly, his eyes soaked in water, pitiful, sad and helpless, I felt pity.

If others must have been embarrassed by her appearance, they would have lost all their minds about hooking up, but Shen Mingze just secretly raised his eyebrows, he had seen too many women of this kind of hook-up person.

He was about to refuse, but at this moment a person walked out of the house, and that person was Peach.

"Uncle, the master said that if you don't go to the court, it will be too late."

Shen Mingze raised his feet and was about to leave, Xiao Xiben felt that he had loosened up just now, and he was working hard, and he would definitely be able to arouse her pity, but at this critical moment, he was disturbed.

She made a special trip to find someone at this time.

She couldn't let him go.

Momoko seemed to have seen her purpose for a long time, and stepped forward to stop her, blocking her hand that was reaching out to her aunt.

"Uncle, the master said that she would deal with this matter, you just have to go to court with peace of mind."

She whispered secretly: "If you go one step late, I'm afraid this girl will end up miserable." ”

Shen Mingze raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Tell your master, don't show mercy to your subordinates." ”

"Yes, uncle."

After Shen Mingze left, Peaches looked at the little west and said:

"Get up, our master is invited."

The woman's heart suddenly tightened, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”

"Come in with me."

Zhong Jinxiu woke up just now, and now she is still lying in bed.

Momoko glanced at Xiao Xi, and saw that she was a little nervous, so she said, "You wait here first, our master hasn't gotten up yet." ”

"Yes."

She had already waited until the third pole of the sun, Zhong Jinxiu hung her outside in the sun for a while before summoning her, and she didn't say a word, the Xiaoxi knelt, and she couldn't hold her mind a little, and said, "Madam, please be gracious to Madame." ”

"What do you want me to do?"

Xiaoxi brewed for a while, and decided to play the emotional card, she said: "Madam, Xiaoxi was sold into Hualou by her parents since she was a child, lonely, Hualou's mother wanted to sell me to a sixty-year-old man as a concubine, the old man has a lady in the family, fierce and jealous, every sister was bought by her and thrown out sideways within a month, Xiaoxi was unwilling, so she came to ask Sister Xiao Taohong for help, but I didn't know that Sister Xiaotaohong actually ... Fortunately, the young master is kind and ordered Ah Xiang to take care of me and give me a way to live..."

Speaking of this, the woman was overwhelmed with grief, and her tears fell drop by drop like beads with broken threads, which was really pitiful.

If a man sees such a pitiful man, he will have a trace of tenderness, but Zhong Jinxiu didn't go, she just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.

Originally, she didn't plan to pay attention to her at all, but who made her so clingy and actually looked for here.

She asked leisurely:

"What are you here for?"

Zhong Jinxiu's tone was a little slower, but when she heard it in the woman's ears, she seemed to have pity.

"I heard Brother Xiang say that Madame misunderstood me, so I came to explain. I have no selfish relationship with Lord Shen, Lord Shen just pities the poor background of the slave family, so I think about it more, Mrs. Xiaoxi Suwen is kind-hearted, and dignified and virtuous, and is willing to take in Sister Xiao Taohong, who is a kind person. ”

Misunderstand? Dignified and virtuous?

Zhong Jinxiu didn't know that she still had this word on herself, she was really a person who hadn't come back to Kyoto for three years, and she was afraid that she had forgotten her viciousness.

And the woman kept saying that she was Ah Xiang's woman, but she didn't leave Shen Mingze word for word.

I really want her to misunderstand something.

"Miss Konishi, right, actually, I didn't misunderstand."

No misunderstanding? Looking at her with a gentle smile, could it be that she really thought that she was a concubine raised by Lord Shen outside?

If so, will she take herself into the house?

It's all written like this in the plays, and the ladies in the house know that their father-in-law has a woman outside, and they will all access the house.

She... Will it?

Zhong Jinxiu suddenly interrupted her fantasy and said: "Although I don't know how you are with Ah Xiang, but my treatment of Ah Xiang has nothing to do with you, although I am kind-hearted, but I am not a fool, Ah Xiang stole so much silver outside behind his master's back, it is still a mistake, such a lot of silver, handed over to the government is a capital crime." ”

The woman was stunned.

Why didn't this person follow the script?

Zhong Jinxiu looked at her and said, "I also know that you and Ah Xiang are in love and happy with each other, so you won't watch him suffer, right?" ”

She was forced to nod.

"I've heard that he's given you all the things he's stolen all these years, so you can spit them all out."

No, it's not easy for her to save so much body, how can she spit it out.

Besides, these are all Ah Xiang's attempts to please her... Although there are some of them that I have been deceived by myself, these are all obtained by myself in exchange for my body.

If she hands them all over, how will she live in the future?

No, she absolutely couldn't.

"Ma'am, I don't know what you're talking about?"

Zhong Jinxiu chuckled and said, "Oh? Didn't you come to intercede for Ah Xiang to save him? ”

"Didn't you misunderstand me and Lord Shen?"

Zhong Jinxiu smiled again and said: "Our cousin's taste, you say, you can't even look down on a little peach like an Oiran, you like this, can you get into his eyes?" ”

Xiaoxi's face stiffened, and he frowned slightly, hiding his thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"Before I saw you, I may have had some suspicions, but when you came, my suspicions were gone."

Xiao Xi's head lowered lower, and finally understood that it was one thing for people to not be themselves at all.

"Is he serious?"

When Zhong Jinxiu heard her ask, she felt that the matter was half done.

"I think how much silver he ate, you know best, if you don't understand our Great Song law, I can teach you."

"Ah Xiang's matter belongs to the prison guards and self-theft, you should cooperate with the outside and take things for me in the name of beauty, but in fact, all of them fell into your own hands. This is self-theft, embezzlement of public funds and property, and fraud. 100 taels for stealing property, 100 strokes of the cane, and 1,000 taels can be sentenced to death. In this case, 50 taels of canes will be punished 90 times, and 300 taels will be sent to a designated remote area and forced to serve 3 years of hard labor, that is, the "flow" sentence...... How much you take from the shop, how much money is worth, you should have a certain calculation in your heart, and it is not an exaggeration for him to be put to death, of course, as long as you can return the things, we can give it a light sentence..."

Konishi didn't say anything.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "You and Ah Xiang are in love, what about him, he is very affectionate to you, most of this thing is taken by you, if I say that you cheat and push you out, then he can also clear the suspicion, but he doesn't, what about him, he has all on his body, you have found a good person, I hope you can treat him sincerely..."
