After being tossed by the people of the government for a night, the Xu family, which looked sturdy on weekdays, now fell to the ground softly.

The second master Xu who was in charge of the house was even more pale, and he couldn't say a word while sitting on the chair in the hall.

A soft voice broke the silence from the courtyard.

"Miss, the Cao family obviously only has one archway of chastity, why did you say two."

"That's too."

"Ah," Feng Xiao was very surprised, "isn't the chastity archway for women?" Old lady Cao turned out to be a woman. ”

Xu Qinghuan did not deny it: "That represents the chastity of the Cao family to the imperial court, with this archway, the Cao family is the hero of Fengxiang County, and it will be looked down upon." "With that memorial arch, it is equivalent to the court that all the things that the Cao family did back then were right, and the murderer killed Cao Ruwan in front of the archway, in addition to insulting the reputation of the Cao family's innocence, is it also questioning the Cao family's actions back then.

Feng Xiao thought for a long time, as if she came back to her senses: "Miss, what did you just say?" If the old lady Cao is a woman, what about the old lady of the Cao family? ”

Xu Qinghuan replied seriously: "It's also a woman." ”

"Hello woman," Feng Xiao moistened her lips and didn't bother with this question, "Miss, do you think there will still be hens stewed in the big kitchen, let's go over and have dinner!" ”

The voices of the master and servant faded away.

Mrs. Xu, who was on the side, looked more and more ugly, and she stretched out her hand to look out the window: "Listen, they ridicule our Cao family like this." ”

Mrs. An Yihou raised her head, with a more majestic look on her face: "It was you who made the Cao family lose their reputation, it was you who framed Brother An with bad intentions, and killed Ruwan after the incident, I can't control how the court and the Cao family want to deal with you, but the Xu family can't tolerate a vicious woman like you." ”

Mrs. Xu's lips trembled: "I don't have ......"

Mrs. An Yihou stood up and looked at the second master Xu: "Our Changfang does not return to the clan from time to time, I shouldn't have used the identity of a wife to suppress you, but this kind of ugly thing happened, I also had to stand up and make an idea, the yamen has detained the Cao family's cronies, and we will return all the Cao family's dowries to the Cao family, and the Cao family will have nothing to do with our Xu family." ”

Second Mrs. Xu looked at Mrs. An Yihou in surprise, this woman who could only cry when she encountered something, saw that she had the upper hand and fell into the well like this: "Why are you in charge of the Xu family?" Over the years, you have been rich and noble in Beijing, and you have been concerned about the future of the children in the clan? It's not our second room ......."

"Okay," Second Master Xu interrupted Second Mrs. Xu's words, looked at Mrs. An Yihou respectfully, and his voice softened, "This case has not been clarified, and no one from the Yamen has come to ask about it, so it can't be concluded in the end, the Cao family has married into the Xu family for so many years, respecting the elders, managing the middle feed, and giving birth to children and daughters......"

"What woman isn't?" Mrs. An Yihou said, "But few people dare to buy murder, if the yamen finds out that this case has nothing to do with the Cao family, I will personally go to the Cao family to apologize and invite the Cao family back to be in charge." ”

A few words were loud, and Second Master Xu couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

Xu Qingshu stood in front of the Cao family: "Madam, you can't treat my mother like this, the prince is safe and sound, why are you aggressive." ”

"The people who came to arrest Qing'an with the yamen that day are all here," Mrs. An Yihou smiled slightly, "If Qing'an is arrested, will you cry with me?" ”

At this moment, Mrs. Xu couldn't help crying.

When a few mothers-in-law entered the door, they were going to pull Mrs. Xu.

"Okay," Master Cao stood up, "even if you don't say it, I'll take my sister back." ”

"Big brother," Mrs. Xu's heart was sour, "I'...... Don't want to ......"

"Don't worry," Master Cao said, "We have to admit that it's wrong, and our Cao family will not bear trumped-up charges, you are the daughter of the Cao family, no matter when, the Cao family will not leave you alone." ”

"Alas!"

A faint sigh.

Master Cao was startled and immediately looked over, only to see a figure standing there outside the curtain.

They looked at everything in the room silently, as if all the thoughts in their hearts had fallen into her eyes.

Master Cao was inexplicably flustered in his heart, and he calmed down before he said, "Second sister, you are also here, just go back with us." ”

"No," Mrs. Xu San outside the curtain said lightly, "The eldest sister is gone, and I still have to help Mrs. take care of the Xu family." ”

Mrs. Xu San said and opened the curtain: "I just heard that the murderer died of poison, he said something to the eldest brother before he died, and no one else heard it, eldest brother, what did he say?" Why do you want to kill Ruwan? ”

Second Mrs. Xu's eyes lit up, if the murderer confessed, she at least did not kill anyone, this is the best opportunity to clear her name: "Big brother, big brother, what did he say?" ”

Master Cao shook his head: "I didn't hear anything. ”

Second Mrs. Xu looked at Master Cao in surprise, no one heard it, why didn't the eldest brother say a word for her, even if it was just to say that the murderer was killing on his own initiative, it would be of great help to her.

Big brother would say that.

Second Mrs. Xu only felt that her heart became cold, and she muttered in disappointment: "How can you not hear anything." ”

Mrs. Xu San curled her lips: "Big brother can think about it, and he can't regret it anymore." ”

Master Cao had dense beads of sweat on his forehead, staring at Mrs. Xu San, and his voice was extremely clear: "I said, I didn't hear anything." ”

The smile on Mrs. Xu's face deepened, and in Mrs. Xu's eyes, it was like a ghost with teeth and claws asking for her life.

The Cao family helped the second Mrs. Xu away, and Xu Qingshu went to Cao's house with him.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Master Cao walked quickly to the bottom of the hall, where Mrs. Xu San was standing.

"Isn't it you?" Master Cao said in a low voice, "Ruwan is so innocent. ”

Mrs. Xu San looked into Master Cao's red eyes, and there was only a sneering look on her face: "If the eldest brother suspects me, he can sue me in court." ”

Master Cao continued: "One life is worth one life, you should also stop." ”

Mrs. Xu San raised her chin: "You were like this back then, blaming all the sins on us and ruining my family," she paused slightly, "Over the years, you have been rich and glorious, and your children are around your knees, what about me?" But shrink in the nunnery, and if you truly repent, you should return everything that belongs to me. ”

Master Cao's eyes are a little more proficient.

Mrs. Xu San stretched out her hand to the rising sun, her thin hand was forked, and the twisted scars were faintly visible on her fingers: "How you tortured me, do you remember?" ”

With that, she walked forward.

"I'm also forced to do it," Master Cao walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Mrs. Xu San, "You know, at that time, the imperial court went around to track down the tax silver, and they all said that someone was working with the rebels to hide the tax silver, and if people knew that the silver was in our home, it would be a catastrophe of destruction......

Mrs. Xu San finally stopped: "What about the silver?" What the eldest brother said is so good, it is not the last to melt them and pave the way for his own wealth and glory.

My eldest brother really wanted to make amends to me, so he gave me the money. ”

"What?" Master Cao almost thought he had misheard.

Mrs. Xu's eyes were bright: "I want that silver." ”

……

Qing Huan had no dreams for a while, and when he woke up, he found two people sitting next to the table of the Eight Immortals.

One is a phoenix chick holding a bird, and the other is Cao Ruzhen.

Cao Ruzhen was carefully sewing the clothes in her hand, and when she woke up, she smiled and said, "You have slept for several hours this night, and it is getting dark." ”

"Miss, Miss," Feng Xiao put down the bird in her hand and came to serve her, "Miss Cao is helping me sew clothes." ”

Xu Qinghuan walked over, Cao Ruzhen had just finished the last stitch, and a beautiful hibiscus flower bloomed on the placket of her clothes.

Cao Ruzhen's face was full of a gentle smile: "I saw that Feng Xiao's clothes were torn, if they were sewn casually, it would be a little ugly, and it would be a pity to throw them away. ”

Needlework is the most headache for Qing Huan, for Feng Xiao, a girl who has never seen the world, it is unimaginable that a young lady can embroider so well, so she shamelessly begged Cao Ruzhen: "This hibiscus flower is beautiful, can the young lady embroider all the clothes of the slave maid with hibiscus flowers." ”

Cao Ruzhen nodded without thinking: "Okay." ”

There will always be a feeling of stability around Cao Ruzhen, perhaps it is this demure and beauty that attracts the attention of her brother and also brings disaster to Cao Ruzhen.

I hope that Cao Ruzhen can live freely in this life.

Xu Qinghuan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Cao Ruzhen: "Why did you come to the Xu family?" ”

Cao Ruzhen shook her head: "Grandmother instructed me to come and walk around often in the future and accompany my second aunt well," Speaking of this, she raised her head with a happy smile on her face, "You don't know, I rarely go out, sometimes I often wonder if it's because I'm too stupid to let my grandmother and eldest wife out, for fear that I will cause trouble." ”
