Chapter 206: Concubinage (2)
Seeing that Cai Wei was about to be dragged down, Mother Chen, who was standing behind Xie's, hurriedly knelt down in front of Xia Chuanyuan, and kept kowtowing, "Please let the master spare Cai Wei's life, please ...... the master."
Cai Wei saw Chen's mother begging for mercy for herself, so she reacted, hurriedly broke free from the arms of the nursing home, knelt down and begged for mercy.
Xia Chuanyuan looked at it coldly, "Shut up, do such a shameless thing, and dare to beg for mercy?" ”
Mother Chen knew that she was at a loss, but she couldn't watch Cai Wei go to death, Cai Wei cried, crawled to Xia Zhihan's side, and cried: "Young Master, save the slave and maid, the slave and the maid don't want to die, the eldest young master, save the slave and the maid......"
Xie Shi looked at it coldly, but she didn't make a sound, Cai Wei was originally a chess piece she was determined to put next to Xia Chuanyuan, but now it has something to do with this Xia Zhihan, Xie is too lazy to care, if she wants to blame, blame her for being shallow and not in the climate.
At this moment, Liu Shihan on the bed woke up slowly, in fact, she did not fall asleep, but had been quietly listening to the changes around her, long before she got married, she knew that she would not be the only one in Xia Zhihan, but she never thought that this man who entrusted herself with her life would disregard her face and fornicate with the girl under her nose.
Liu Shihan was angry, very angry, she almost wanted to jump off the bed and tear the fox-like Caiwei's face alive, but she couldn't, she was in the main room, since she was a child, she was used to seeing the intrigue between people, there will not be only one woman in a man's life, as long as Xia Zhihan's heart is still there, then what else can she ask for.
Seeing Liu Shihan open his eyes, Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly turned around and asked, "How is it?" ”
Liu Shihan shook his head, "Daddy, my daughter-in-law is fine, but her body is weak, so I can't help but blow the wind, Daddy, my husband is unintentional, you can spare him." ”
didn't expect Liu Shihan to intercede for Xia Zhihan, Xia Chuanyuan said softly: "You rest first, you don't care about their affairs." ”
Liu Shihan got up, Xia Mengning hurriedly helped her up, and Xia Zhihan, who was kneeling on the ground, saw it and raised his head to look at her.
Liu Shihan opened his mouth and said: "Daddy, this matter is not right for me, my body is not good, my husband is young and vigorous, I must like the joy of the boudoir, Daddy will forgive my husband this time." ”
Xia Chuanyuan frowned, looked at Xia Zhihan and said, "Thank you for your wife's intercession." ”
Xia Zhihan hurriedly crawled over and said under Liu Shihan's bed, looked at Liu Shihan and said: "Han'er, it's me who is not good, I swear, there will be no next time, if there is, let me thunder and ...... in the sky."
Liu Shihan stretched out her hand and gently covered Xia Zhihan's mouth, her angina was like this, but she still spoke: "Daddy, it's better to give Miss Caiwei to her husband as a concubine, she is already her husband's person, if she dies in vain, outsiders will also say that our Prime Minister's Mansion treats people harshly." ”
After saying this, Liu Shihan's hand hidden under the quilt was clenched tightly, but his face was still flat, as if he didn't care at all.
Xia Chuanyuan looked at it and said, "You are a good girl, you know the general situation." As he spoke, he kicked Xia Zhihan with his foot and said, "If there is a next time, I will not spare you." ”
In this way, he agreed to Liu Shihan's proposal, in order not to affect Liu Shihan's recuperation, only the girl and Xia Mengning were left to take care of them, and the rest were all supported by Xia Chuanyuan.
As soon as the person left, Liu Shihan's tears flowed out all of a sudden, Dongzhu stood aside and felt distressed, and took a handkerchief to Liu Shihan, Liu Shihan just lowered his head and cried, and didn't pick it up, Xia Mengning gave Dongzhu a look and said, "I'll come, you go down to the kitchen first and let the kitchen make some rice porridge." ”
Dongzhu nodded, Xia Mengning reached out to wipe Liu Shihan's tears, and said, "Han'er, if you want to cry, cry out." ”
Liu Shihan stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, his palm-sized face kept trembling, tears flowed out along his fingers, Xia Mengning's nose was sour, and he reached out to hug Liu Shihan's body.
After crying for a while, Liu Shihan stopped crying, Xia Mengning stirred a handkerchief from the copper basin on the side, and handed it to Xia Mengning to wipe her face.
Liu Shihan wiped his face, and then said: "Ning'er, I thought he was treating me sincerely, although I knew that I would not be his only woman, but I wanted so little, as long as he could save my face in front of outsiders, but he ...... He actually embarrassed me so much shortly after he married me......"
Xia Mengning shook her head, "Han'er, you shouldn't fulfill their ...... like this"
Liu Shihan listened to Xia Mengning's words and said, "Then what should I do, will it go on like this, Ning'er, I have no other way." ”
As soon as this incident passed, Cai Wei moved into Yihan Garden, Liu Shihan gave her a room to live in as the main room, and she usually didn't want her to serve, but she came to serve tea the first day, and she didn't say much later.
Cai Wei originally thought that she had escaped the catastrophe and would be able to be a serious aunt in the future, but she didn't think that Xia Chuanyuan ordered her to go to the ancestral hall every day and kneel for four hours, sincerely repent, when the time came, when to return to normal life.
Every day in addition to eating and sleeping is kneeling in the ancestral hall, occasionally Xia Zhihan comes to her house, and also sees her tired face, without a little energy, Xia Zhihan can't be interested, and over time, Cai Wei is not as good as before.
On this day, Liu Shihan's body has gotten better, Xia Zhihan is sitting on the couch teasing the canary bird in the cage, Liu Shihan is sitting on the side reading the book, the two are silent, although Xia Zhihan misses the beauty of Caifanglou in his heart, but now that something has just happened, if he still runs out all day long, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be discovered.
But he was in the house, but he had nothing to say to Liu Shihan, since the last incident, Liu Shihan has been a lot colder to himself, Xia Zhihan is anxious, this Liu Shihan is not reconciled with himself, how to do things for himself in the future, after all, he doesn't love her, he just wants to use her to deal with Xia Mengning.
Xia Zhihan thought of this, so he said softly: "Han'er, don't be bored in the house all day, it's better to go and talk to the third sister." ”
Liu Shihan replied lightly, "My body is very tired, and I don't want to move." ”
Xia Zhihan stopped in embarrassment, not knowing how to say it, so he had to stand up and walk out with the bird cage.
Seeing Xia Zhihan walk out, Liu Shihan took his eyes off the book and sighed.
Dongzhu on the side saw it, and felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort Liu Shihan, so he had to say: "Miss, the slave maid and you will go to Zhuzhiyuan to talk to the third lady." ”
Liu Shihan shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to affect Ning'er, you go and bring my pipa." ”
Dong Zhu answered, went to the inner room to get it, Liu Shihan sat on the couch, gently plucked the pipa, and the mournful tune poured out from between his fingers.
Dongzhu secretly lowered his head on the side, looked at Liu Shihan's expression, and sighed lowly.
Xia Zhihan went to the study, Xiaoshun brought tea, and said, "Master, you drink tea." ”
Xia Zhihan had a dark face, and handed the birdcage in his hand to Xiaoshun, "It's so good to carry." ”
As he spoke, he sat down, reached out and took a sip of the teacup, frowned, and said, "Why don't you use the best Longjing to make tea?" Isn't it that you see that your master is losing power now, and you also want to step on it? ”
Xiao Shun hurriedly waved his hand, "Master, you have misunderstood the little one, give the little one a hundred guts, and you don't dare to fool the master." ”
Xia Zhihan put down the teacup and said, "Then what's going on?" ”
Xiaoshun hung the birdcage on the hook in front of the window, and then said: "Now the house is the third lady in charge, the third lady said, now the drought in the northwest is serious, the lord is the prime minister of a country, and he should lead by example, so the food and clothing in our house are all reduced, and this tea is only ordinary Longjing." ”
Xia Zhihan's face was gloomy, his big hand slapped on the table, and he said indignantly: "It's Xia Mengning again, this Xia Mengning is specifically against me." ”
Xiao Shun said: "Master, isn't this what the master meant, if the third lady gets married, where will it be her turn to be in charge." ”
Xia Zhihan frowned, "Isn't she still married?" ”
Saying that, Xia Zhihan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, yes, if Xia Mengning is gone, and his father has no other children, then this family is under his control.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhihan was annoyed again, she and Liu Shihan are in trouble like this now, she is unwilling to deal with herself, no, she must think of a way to save Liu Shihan's heart and let her do things for herself willingly.
Thinking about it, Xia Zhihan said to Xiao Shun: "Let's go, go to the account room with my master, she won't give it to us, let's get it ourselves." ”
Xiao Shun answered behind him, hiding a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
The two came to the steward's room together, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the people who were busy working in an orderly manner, and a little guy saw Xia Zhihan, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The little one has seen the eldest young master." ”
Xia Zhihan said 'um' and walked inside, Li Yan, who was settling accounts at the desk, raised his head, and when he saw Xia Zhihan, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "The little one has seen the eldest young master, I don't know why the eldest young master came?" ”
Xia Zhihan sat down on the side and said, "There's nothing else, come to the account room to get some silver, you can write it down, and just deduct it from your share in the future." ”
Li Yan nodded, "That's naturally possible, I don't know how much silver the eldest young master wants to pay?" ”
Xia Zhihan looked at him and said, "Five hundred taels." ”
Li Yan seemed to be taken aback, and said: "Young Master, the third young lady just gave an order not long ago, and our whole house has to save money, so these five hundred taels are really impossible to get here." ”
Xia Zhihan frowned and said loudly: "What do you mean you can't take it?" I am the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can't even pay a mere five hundred taels of silver? ”
Li Yan bowed his head, "I'm sorry for the eldest young master, if it is more than one hundred taels of silver, it needs to be reported to the third young lady, if the eldest young master does not wait to use it, it is better to sit here for a while, and the little one will send the slave to ask the third young lady." ”
When Xia Zhihan heard this, he was immediately furious, stood up and said, "No need, let's go." ”
If he wants his eldest son to wait here, wouldn't he lose face?
