On the second day, the Li family listened to some gossip when they visited the door, and before others finished speaking, they rushed back to Huangfu Xue to settle accounts. Huangfu Xue was explaining the skills of reading the account book with Zhaoyao, and the door opened with a bang, and then Li rolled up his sleeves and walked in imposingly, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you have no conscience, isn't my boss good enough for you?" How can you go and steal wild men. ”

Huangfu Xue stood up with a cold face, "What is my mother-in-law talking about?" Isn't it too much to wronged people like this without evidence? ”

"No evidence? If there is no evidence, the old lady will lose such a big temper, do you think the old lady is idle and dares to deliberately find fault? Li crossed his hands on his hips and looked like he was going to quarrel with Huangfu Xue, and scolded loudly, "It's all rumored outside, and it's a shame that you are still in the mood to pretend here." You are innocent, if you are innocent, what are the rumors outside? ”

"Deliberately slandered." Huangfu Xue briefly explained. Li Shi was annoyed by his calm and breezy appearance, "If you stay at home all day long like the daughter-in-law of other people's families and don't show your face, how can others slander you?" I told you a long time ago that what kind of business a woman does, how good it is to stay at home, you don't listen, and now the rumors are still affecting my son, why are you so capable. ”

"Old lady, my young lady is also a victim of this matter, how can you say that about my young lady." The magpie couldn't listen to speak for Huang Fuxue, and the Li family didn't dare to do anything to Huang Fuxue, didn't he dare to scold a maid? Strode forward and gave the magpie a direct slap. Huangfu Xue guarded the short, stretched out his hand to protect the magpie behind him, and looked at Li with a gloomy face, "Mother-in-law has something displeased to come to me, why embarrass a maid." ”

"It's okay if you don't let me do it, you can go out and explain to those people now, I definitely can't affect the reputation of the An family because of you alone. How much hardship my son has endured to get to where he is today, don't you claim to be smart? Don't you know what these rumors will do to my son? ”

"I know." Huangfu Xue has a weak heart, if she can, she doesn't want to make a fuss like this, she knows that officials cherish their feathers very much, not to mention that An Mingchen is already the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, that is to say, he will have more scruples than others, but as soon as today's incident comes out, he will definitely be harassed and even embarrassed in the court......

"You know, you know how you can still talk and laugh here like you're a nobody. Go out, you go out now and explain it to them. The Li family pushed Huang Fuxue, Huang Fuxue was originally uncomfortable, but now her face became more and more bad when she was so troubled by the Li family, "Mother-in-law also saw how big this matter was just now, mother-in-law really thinks that I will go out now and say that I was wronged, I am innocent, will they believe it?" ”

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you mean by this, you can't hurt the boss." Li was not reconciled. Huangfu Xue comforted her, "Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with this matter, but I can't rush it......"

"Now that your eyebrows are burning, you still say you're not in a hurry." Li Shi was angry and wanted to do it again, Huangfu Snow Mountain God dodged, Li didn't expect her to dodge, and fell directly to the ground with too much force. "Oops......" Li shouted, the maid in the house hurriedly stepped forward to help, Li was annoyed, and pushed away one by one, "Eldest daughter-in-law, do you want to kill my old wife?" ”

Huang Fuxue knew that the Li family wanted him to admit his mistakes, although he was not happy with the Li family's calculations, but she was an elder in the end, and she had to give some face in front of her subordinates, when Huang Fuxue stepped forward and was about to step forward, An Mingchen walked in, and when he saw this scene, he directly turned cold, "Mother, why are you sitting on the ground?" ”

As soon as Li saw his son, he was suddenly happy, thinking of where he was angry in the eldest daughter-in-law today, he pinched his thigh with his hand, and the tears of pain fell directly, although An Mingchen's relationship with Li's family was average, but her mother was wronged and shed tears in front of him, she really couldn't be indifferent, "Mother, what's wrong, get up first, have something to say." ”

"If I don't get up, how dare I get up without your daughter-in-law's consent. If she drives away me like the second child, I'm afraid I'll never see you again, boss, my mother is this age, I don't know how long I can live, the capital is far away from the south of the Yangtze River, and now it's not peaceful, if my mother has three long and two short, it doesn't hurt, but I don't know how to explain to your father after I die, what kind of tigress you are controlled all day long, my mother feels sorry for you. ”

An Mingchen just received a superstition from An Wanru over there, and he would come back to tell Huangfu Xue about it, who knew that he saw this scene. He didn't believe that Huang Fuxue would do anything out of the ordinary, but he was a little irrational emotionally, and with Li's nose and tears, he felt very uncomfortable listening to it.

Huang Fuxue stood aside silently, the magpie looked anxious, she was worried that her uncle would indiscriminately wronged Miss, and couldn't help but explain, "It's not like this, the old lady slandered the young lady, it was obviously the old lady who fell down by herself just now, and when our young lady was going to help, my uncle came back, and this is ......."

"Son, look at it, my mother said this, and her maid came out to protect her. Forget it, my mother won't say anything. Son, help your mother up. Li reluctantly asked An Mingchen to help him up, An Mingchen was originally just a little displeased, but now his face became more and more ugly when he saw this, "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely give you an explanation for today's matter." I'll help you back first. Li Shi waited for this sentence, and was immediately happy when he heard it. Holding back a smile and hypocritically persuaded, "Son, it's not important for my mother to suffer some grievances, my mother is afraid that you will be embarrassed. It's not easy for you in the court, my mother can't help you with anything, my mother heard this today and wanted to ask your daughter-in-law to explain outside, whether it's useful or not, at least we worked hard, but she didn't want to pay it back...... also did it to his mother. Son, my mother is wronged for you. ”

"Mother, I know. Don't feel bad. I'll give you an explanation of this. An Mingchen helped Li to leave, and Huangfu Xue was still standing in place, her face calm, as if nothing had happened, but if you looked closely, you could see that something was wrong.

"Miss, are you alright?" The magpie stepped forward worriedly, and the swagger also stood aside. She thought that a person like Mrs. An who was well-born, well-married, and capable would definitely be able to live a wanton and happy life, but when she saw this scene today, she suddenly didn't know what to say. When my mother was alive, she once said that in life, everyone has troubles, but they are different from each other.

It's just that she was young at the time and didn't think so. The grandson of the village chief's family ate all day long, and ran around the village with a stick, making trouble everywhere, and she was very envious at that time, and even thought that if she could live such a day, she would be willing to die. But later, the son of the village chief's family burned out his brain with a fever and became a fool for the rest of his life. She doesn't remember how she felt at that time, it shouldn't be as complicated as it is now, but it was as uncomfortable as it is now. Later, when her mother left, she didn't think about it anymore......

"I'm fine, you guys go out first." Huangfu Xue turned around and went to the back room. The magpie stood aside worriedly, trying to say something to pull him out. "What are you doing here, don't you see that Miss is in a bad mood?"

"I'm not blind, but you should know better than me what your young lady is, and she shouldn't want us to be here now. We're here to stay, and we'll be the first to know if something happens to her. Swagger glanced at the room, then at the sky, and finally sighed.

The magpie was still angry, and couldn't talk to the young lady, so he could only muttered to himself, "How can my uncle suspect Miss, Miss is also wronged, and Miss hasn't done anything...... Zhao Yao glanced at the magpie but didn't gnaw, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, not to mention the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. These things must be figured out by the lady herself.

In the room, Huang Fuxue stood in front of the window and thought about yesterday's everything, and then thought about everything just now, the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile, how could she naively believe his words! What is he going to say when he comes back, is it to question or to ask her to apologize to her mother-in-law?

"Lady, didn't I promise you yesterday that I would stand on your side no matter what happened? Why do you still have a temper tantrum with your mother? ”

"Believe it or not, I didn't do anything to her. She just fell down on her own, and I just didn't help him up in time. Huangfu Xue explained calmly, staring straight at An Mingchen with his eyes, with a deep disappointment in his eyes. An Mingchen wanted to give up the accusation for a moment, but when he thought of his mother, he held back again, "You know your mother's temper, you can endure it and it will pass, why bother to conflict with her, now it's not good for me to do nothing." ”

"So you want to be a filial son and then come to me Xingshi to ask for guilt?" Huangfu Xue sneered, "Have you figured out what to let me do?" Say it, I'll listen to it. ”

"Lady, you know I didn't mean that." An Mingchen sighed helplessly, "You also know my mother's temperament, if I don't do this today, she will definitely not give up, and I am also for the sake of harmony in the family." An Mingchen went to pull Huang Fu Xue's hand, but Huang Fu Xue dodged it, "I'm sorry, I can't understand." Today I am criticized and slandered, but now I have become a sinner, do I still have to kowtow to my mother-in-law to admit my mistakes, if she does not forgive me, do you want to divorce me? ”

"Lady, you know I won't." An Mingchen refused seriously, but Huangfu Xue smiled, but there was a thick mockery in his smile, "You don't stop, I'll help you." Turned around and came to the table, took a pen and paper and wrote a letter of resignation in one breath, and then handed it to An Mingchen, An Mingchen didn't expect her to say and leave so lightly, what was he in her eyes. Is it something that can be discarded casually?

"Have you figured it out?" An Mingchen looked at him indifferently and detachedly. Huangfu Xue was flustered for a moment, but thinking about what had happened recently, she strengthened her thoughts, "Yes, I think clearly." If you have figured it out, press your mudra here. ”
