Mrs. Yuan walked over with a smile and explained word by word: "Zi Shu is resting in the courtyard now, and she doesn't know about her brother's arrival, as for Zi Yan, there is a restaurant opening in the city, and the owner of the restaurant, Miss Qiao You, is her good friend, so she went to cheer on her." ”

Mrs. Yuan didn't say a bad word, but Xia Yusheng's face was not good-looking.

But in the end, it was on other people's territory, he didn't say anything, but he just hurt her politely and went to Xia Zishu's yard.

Opening the door, Xia Yusheng saw Xia Zishu lying on the bed with an unusually weak face at first glance.

He naturally knew what was going on, but he was a person who protected his shortcomings, and seeing that his favorite daughter had now become like this, he was inevitably a little distressed and hurriedly walked over.

"Shu'er, what's wrong with you?" Xia Yusheng sat on the edge of the bed, looking at his daughter's pale face without the slightest blood, and couldn't stop feeling distressed.

Xia Zishu easily hooked a smile on her face, but it quickly disappeared, and she frowned: "Father, my daughter is fine, you can rest assured." ”

Xia Yusheng said that she was stubborn, and turned her head to ask Mrs. Yuan: "Little sister, is this how you entertain guests, Shu'er was good when she came, why is it like this now, you better give me an explanation." ”

"What, what?"

Mrs. Yuan was a little incredulous, and she forgot the purpose of the letter to Xia Quan for a while.

Looking at Xia Zishu's pale face, she came back to her senses and said everything: "Brother, it's ridiculous that you forgot the content of the letter, you forgot the purpose of opening this place, and instead questioned me." ”

The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is already very weak, and they have rarely seen each other for more than ten years, if it weren't for the two daughters of the Xia family who have this contact, I'm afraid that they would have broken off contact a long time ago.

At this moment, Mrs. Yuan looked at Xia Zishu, who was speechless, her eyes widened and she looked wronged, and she only felt a feeling of boredom in her heart. Why didn't she see the true appearance of this Xia Zishu at the beginning.

This woman is very scheming and ruthless, she treated her so well before, she took care of her everywhere, and even believed every word she said.

It's ridiculous!

Looking at the arrogant atmosphere between the two people, Xia Zishu hurriedly pulled Xia Yusheng's arm: "Father, it's not about my aunt's business, my own health is not good, don't be angry with my aunt, my body won't be good if I'm angry." ”

Listening to Xia Zishu's words, Mrs. Yuan snorted, glanced at Xia Yusheng, and left the courtyard directly without saying a word.

She really looked at the father and daughter and felt angry in her heart, her brother is not blind with her eyes open, she has already made it clear in the letter, why did he come here, but he asked her guilty.

"Madame, don't be angry, dissipate your anger." Mrs. Liu, who was on the side, cautiously admonished, and brought a cup of tea over to ask her to please be quiet.

She pushed Mrs. Liu away, "Where can I dissipate my anger, you didn't see the faces of the father and daughter, it's really ......"

She tapped the table next to her and didn't continue.

On the other side, in Xia Zishu's courtyard, Xia Yusheng directly sent off the subordinates in the house, leaving a few henchmen he brought to guard the door.

Xia Yusheng changed his appearance as a protector, and there was a cold smile on his face, "Okay, the person is gone, you tell me, what's going on?" ”

"Father, father, what do you mean?" Xia Zishu's round apricot eyes widened, and a faint mist surfaced inside?

Xia Yusheng didn't look at her, and threw aside the letter that Mrs. Yuan had given him, letting Xia Zishu read it herself.

Xia Zishu stumbled up from the bed, and when she saw the fact that Mrs. Yuan did not add fuel and vinegar to the letter, she couldn't help but tremble a little when she held the letter in her hand.

After a long time, she knelt in front of Xia Yusheng with a "plop", crying in her voice: "Father, my daughter is at fault, my daughter shouldn't sit like this, but, father, I have a hard time." ”

Xia Zishu's appearance and temperament are all with her mother, and she is the only one who knows Xia Yusheng best in the entire Xia family, except for her mother.

Her father, on the surface, loves her very much, but as long as it comes to a critical moment, he will definitely abandon her without hesitation, and even abandon the entire Xia family.

It can be said that her father, who only cares about gold and silver status, is an extremely cold person.

Once she has no use value, let alone half a point of pity, he will not give it to himself even with a look.

She knew him too well, even better than he knew himself.

Xia Yusheng was not in a hurry, took a sip of the teacup gently, didn't even look at the kneeling person on the ground, and said lightly: "Let's hear it." ”

The cold and detached tone is simply not the usual Xia Yusheng who spoils his daughter to the extreme in front of outsiders, as if he has changed a person.

Xia Zishu sneered in her heart, and the pitiful look on her face failed to enter Xia Yusheng's eyes.

She cried twice: "Father doesn't know, that Qiao You is a ruthless woman, but she has a good skill, and the dishes she makes are not comparable to Xu Sixiao under her cousin, and his cousin is ......."

She cleaned herself up in and out of her words, saying that Yuan Ziyi likes Qiao You, and Qiao You also likes Yuan Ziyi.

Unintentionally, Qiao You knew her thoughts about Yuan Ziyi, so she came to teach her a lesson, and her injury was Qiao You's masterpiece.

She was unwilling in her heart, so she made this decision to take revenge on Qiao You, who would have thought that Qiao You's relationship would be so powerful, not only fooled Yuan Ziyi to help him, but even the lord and aunt of the county government also helped her.

She said as she cried, looking so pitiful.

Xia Yusheng just listened from the sidelines, and he didn't know if he believed it, but looking at his face, it was even more ugly than Fang Cai, and his half-squinted eyes were dark, and he couldn't see what emotion it was.

She bowed her head and said no more.

After a long time, Xia Yusheng opened her mouth to let her get up, and Xia Zishu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She knew that it was always right to hold Yuan Ziyi, her father let the two of them come to live at her aunt's house in Yecheng every year, which was nothing more than the same mind as her aunt, wanting to get married.

Therefore, he must not see that his cousin does not like her, nor does he like his sister.

Xia Yusheng pinched the teacup in his hand and asked in a cold voice: "You said which village girl Ziyi likes, but is it true?" ”

Xia Zisheng is the most despised, and Xia Zishu understands this very well.

"Yes, father." She nodded, very well-behaved, "And father, I don't know what kind of trick that Qiao You used, and let my sister obey her, come to think of it, didn't you use some witchcraft?" ”

", there's a monster in the world." Xia Yusheng didn't believe in these ghosts and gods, but what she said remembered in her heart.

"But are these words true?" Xia Yusheng didn't seem to believe Xia Zishu's words, and couldn't help but ask again.

Xia Zishu hurriedly replied: "Naturally, it's true, Shu'er can swear." ”

"That's fine." He waved his hand, looking at Xia Zishu's pale face and asked him to go back to rest, but he was going to go to Qiao You's restaurant in the city, since it was opened today, he wanted to go and see what kind of skills this Qiao You was capable of.

He was fascinated by his daughter and nephew.

He took himself with seven or eight henchmen and went to the north of the city.

In the east courtyard, Mrs. Yuan repaired all the words in the flower pot on the side in a righteous manner, only to hear the little girl outside running over in a panic.

"Oh no, no, madam, Master Xia took the scary man to the sky to pick up the moon."

Mrs. Yuan sat up from the chair in shock, and threw the scissors in her hand aside.

"Really?"

The subordinate nodded, but he heard what Master Xia said with his own ears, and he also found a person in the house who knew the way to lead the way.

Mrs. Yuan's face turned pale, and she was anxious: "How can it be good now?" ”

Although she still doesn't like Qiao You in her heart, it's just that if this Xia Yusheng goes, it will definitely not be a good thing.

Holding her palms, she walked around the main hall, faintly feeling that this matter must have nothing to do with Xia Zishu.

"You find a few skilled nurses, hurry up and follow them, ambush around the moon in the sky, if Xia Yusheng makes a move, remember, help Qiao You."

At this moment, Mrs. Yuan didn't call Xia Yusheng her brother anymore. She sat like this. Let's pay back what she once owed Qiao You.

The next person made a note of it, and soon found a few people.

In the sky, in the wing, a few people came out of it, said a few words as if greetings, and heard some noisy voices downstairs.

Looking for the voice, I saw that the middle-aged man who thought he was dressed in black was followed by seven or eight subordinates, and the subordinate led by him was holding a brocade box in his hand, looking like he was here to give gifts.

It's just that the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes followed by a few subordinates are not ordinary subordinates, those people are steady, their shoulders are stretched, and their walking pace is much lighter than ordinary people.

Obviously, the comer is not good!

Yuan Ziyi has never been to Jiangnan, so naturally he doesn't recognize his uncle.

Seeing the comer, Xia Ziyan exclaimed: "Father! ”

Qiao You and Yuan Ziyi turned their heads to look at her angrily.

"This is my father, I heard that my aunt wrote to my father about Xia Zishu two days ago, I didn't expect him to come so soon, but what is he doing here?" Xia Ziyan scratched her hair a little incomprehensibly.

"I'm afraid it's not good." Yuan Ziyi shook the folding fan in his hand and frowned slightly.

Qiao You sneered, and always said to Xia Ziyan: "I said ugly things in front, if it's for dinner, I'll clap my hands and welcome it, if it's ten to find fault." Don't blame me for throwing things out of me. ”

Xia Ziyan didn't speak, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Qiao You in her heart, she just secretly prayed that her father came here to eat, even if it wasn't the best, he didn't come to find fault.

Because she didn't doubt what Qiao You said, she must have done what she said.
