Chapter 55: The Marquis of Huai'an
When the girl whipped it, the woman screamed.
This girl is the eldest lady of Huai'an Hou, Gu Rongrong.
Shen Xianhe and Gu Rongrong didn't have much contact, but they had only met once or twice occasionally in various banquets, and they barely knew Gu Rongrong's appearance.
As for what Gu Rongrong's personality looked like, Shen Xianhe didn't know.
The social circle of the two people is not in the same place, and they usually see little in it, and they basically don't speak.
Right now, looking at Gu Rongrong's whip out, the fairy can be sure that this is a big lady with a strong personality.
Shen Xianhe looked at the beaten woman again
The woman was about thirty years of age, dressed in fine silk and satin, and had a gentle and beautiful countenance, and did not look like a poor person.
"You are not allowed to hit my mother!"
Suddenly, the child that the woman was holding broke free, it was a boy about seven or eight years old, and he roared directly at Gu Rongrong.
The boy's countenance was somewhat delicate, and his clothes were the same as those of his mother, and he was dressed in fine silk, and the mother and son were clearly not poor people.
Gu Rongrong sneered at the mother and son in front of her.
"I'm hitting your shameless mother and son, you ask your mother, what did she do in private!"
After saying this, Gu Rongrong whipped down again.
The woman quickly took her child in her arms and struck the whip on the woman's back, who screamed again.
"Mother, that girl is the eldest lady of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, her name is Gu Rongrong, and I haven't seen the mother and son she beats."
Shen Xianhe introduced the identity of the girl to his mother next to him, it stands to reason that the things in front of him have nothing to do with them, Shen Xianhe can't tell who is good and who is bad, she doesn't plan to interfere, just watch the play quietly.
However, when Shen Xianhe told the identity of the girl in front of her, the eldest princess smiled sarcastically.
"It turned out to be the young lady of the Hou Mansion of Huai'an?"
After saying this, the eldest princess stepped out of the carriage.
"In a place like the capital, what kind of system is it to take a whip and block the road of pedestrians!"
The eldest princess suddenly spoke, many people had seen the eldest princess, and a group of people quickly knelt down.
Gu Rongrong's face turned pale with fright, and she knelt directly on the ground, and a group of people shouted.
"See the eldest princess!"
Shen Xianhe stepped down from the carriage, she thought that her mother was looking at the mother and son pitifully, she walked over and asked her mother.
"Mother, do you want to help this mother and son?"
The eldest princess shook her head, she just looked at the mother and son quietly, and after a long time, Shen Xianhe saw the eldest princess walking in front of the woman.
"Raise your head!"
The eldest princess spoke to the woman.
The woman raised her head cautiously, her eyes full of fear, but the eldest princess stared at the woman's face, and she suddenly sneered.
Shen Xianhe hurriedly walked over, she felt that something was not quite right in front of her.
The little child protected by the woman was looking at the eldest princess with tears on her face, and Gu Rongrong was kneeling on the ground, her whole body trembling.
"Is something going on?"
Shen Xianhe asked cautiously, she always felt that her mother's face was not quite right, but the eldest princess turned her head, and she asked Gu Rongrong.
"Why are you hitting this woman?"
Gu Rongrong didn't expect that when she was teaching the mother and son today, she happened to meet the eldest princess.
But how dare she tell the identity of this woman?
Gu Rongrong heard rumors from outside that her father Huai Anhou was raising an outer room outside, Gu Rongrong was angry, so she sent someone to quietly follow her father.
After following for half a month, Gu Rongrong's people finally found that their father had gone to a house outside, where a young mother and son lived.
Gu Rongrong was angry, her personality has always been impulsive.
After her father left, Gu Rongrong took advantage of today's time to directly bring a team of people to the mother-son house, wanting to teach the mother and son a good lesson.
However, she had just rushed over, and she didn't know if someone had reported that the mother and son had escaped.
Gu Rongrong chased it out, and just as she got out of the carriage and fanned it down, before she could get angry, the eldest princess actually appeared, which was really unlucky.
Now that the eldest princess is questioning her here, Gu Rongrong thought about it, and she made an excuse in a panic.
"Eldest princess, I heard this woman insulting my mother outside, I couldn't get angry, so I took out the whip and wanted to teach me a lesson, I shouldn't have caused trouble in the downtown area, it's my fault, please punish me!"
Gu Rongrong admitted her mistake very simply, and the eldest princess asked directly with a mockery.
"What is this woman's relationship with your father?"
Shen Xianhe suddenly thought that Huai'an Hou was her aunt's husband, but her aunt had passed away a long time ago, and the Shen family and Huai'an Hou still had some in-law relationship, but over the years, the Shen family and Huai'an Hou Mansion had never interacted, so there was basically no contact between the two sides.
When the eldest princess asked this, Gu Rongrong's face turned pale.
How could the eldest princess guess that this woman had something to do with her father? Gu Rongrong didn't know what to say, this was an ugly thing in the Hou Mansion of Huai'an, she didn't want to say it in front of everyone, she could only lie on the ground and kneel and beg for mercy.
Suddenly, an elegant and handsome middle-aged man walked over with a young man.
The young man is the son of Huai'an Hou, Gu Junhe.
The last time Zuo reported Shouyanghou, Gu Junhe took the initiative to testify and helped Zuo's testimony, Shen Xianhe had a very good impression of Gu Junhe, this person is indeed a well-known honest person, and he is a little rigid in doing things.
And the middle-aged man next to Gu Junhe, Shen Xianhe is a little unfamiliar, she is a girl after all, raised in a deep boudoir, and she mainly plays with some girls of the same age on weekdays, and she doesn't see many foreign men.
But seeing that this man walked in front of Gu Junhe, and the man's face was a little dignified, Shen Xianhe also guessed the identity of this man, which was probably Gu Junhe and Gu Rongrong's father, Huai Anhou, Gu Leshan.
When Gu Leshan took Gu Junhe to the eldest princess, the expressions of the eldest princess and Gu Leshan were not very good.
"Rong Rong, why are you causing trouble outside?"
Gu Junhe walked to his sister's side and said with concern, Gu Rongrong had already cried aggrievedly.
She didn't know how she was unlucky to meet the eldest princess, and now that her father and brother are here, she has lost face.
"Brother, help me!"
Gu Rongrong cried, but after the eldest princess observed Huai'an for a long time, she pointed to the woman kneeling on the ground and asked.
"This is your concubine?"
Gu Leshan's expression was very complicated.
"Eldest princess, this is the minister's outer room."
"Gu Leshan, she has been dead for so long, what did you do to her in the first place? Isn't your heart clear? Now find a replacement, who do you want to disgust? ”
When the eldest princess said this, her face was full of mockery.
Shen Xianhe felt that the eldest princess's face still had a hint of sadness, she vaguely guessed some information, but she was not sure.
Gu Leshan had a calm face, he first bowed to the eldest princess, and then he apologized to everyone.
"The eldest princess, everyone, are Ben Hou's family education, the little girl made a mistake today, causing trouble to everyone, Ben Hou apologizes to everyone here, as for this woman, she is just a concubine that Ben Hou also raised outside, today is Ben Hou's family is unfortunate, there is a scandal in the family, Ben Hou apologizes to everyone, I hope everyone will give Ben Hou's daughter a chance to mend her life, she didn't mean to cause trouble here, blocking everyone's way, Ben Hou will take her daughter home and teach her a good lesson."
After Huai Anhou finished speaking, he looked at his daughter coldly.
"Apologize to everyone, what did you do here today with a whip, what about your upbringing?"
Gu Rongrong apologized to everyone aggrievedly, looking very pitiful, but the onlookers didn't have much idea about Gu Rongrong's apology, and it didn't affect them much.
The only thing they are curious about is the scandal of the Huai'an Hou Mansion, it seems that the eldest lady of the Huai'an Hou Mansion is holding a whip and whipping the outer room of Huai'an Hou, this is fun, everyone is very gossipy and wants to know, what is the identity of Huai'an Hou's concubine? actually let the eldest lady of the Huai'an Hou Mansion take a whip in front of outsiders.
"You're still as hypocritical as ever."
The eldest princess didn't say anything more, she said this coldly, and then turned her head and took Shen Xianhe's hand.
"Xianhe, let's go home."
Shen Xianhe didn't dare to speak, she felt that her mother was in a bad mood.
After getting into the carriage, Shen Xianhe asked curiously.
"Mother, you seem to be a little angry just now, did Huai'an Hou do anything to make you angry before?"
The eldest princess scoffed.
"Do you know who the beaten woman looks like? She looks very similar to your aunt, at the beginning, Huai Anhou ignored your aunt, spoiled the concubine, and made your aunt depressed...... Now, he actually has an outer room that looks like your aunt, and you say that he is ridiculous! ”
