，

Li smiled without saying a word, and didn't pay attention to Aunt Mei, only nodded at Du Hou Ye and smiled: "Du Hou Ye, please." ”

Aunt Mei didn't know why, but Du Hou Ye gave Aunt Mei a stable look. Aunt Mei's heart was beating wildly, she always felt that something was wrong, but the Li family refused to tell her, so she could only follow back to the Hou Mansion in a daze.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong

The Li family had already sent someone to invite Mrs. Xie and Master Xie, but Mrs. Xie was temporarily stumped by something, and she hadn't arrived yet, but Xie Hou happened to be resting today.

"Madame's big battle, what's the matter?" Hou Ye Xie was puzzled and asked.

Li sighed lightly: "When the concubine heard that Aunt Mei was sneakily going out, she felt strange in her heart, so she secretly ordered someone to follow, but she saw Aunt Mei secretly go to see Du Houye." ”

Aunt Mei hurriedly knelt on the ground and explained: "Master, the concubine is just asking for something to ask Lord Du, master, don't misunderstand." ”

It is rude for a concubine to see a foreign man, but Aunt Mei must be cleared up, she and Du Houye really didn't do anything that shouldn't be done.

However, Xie Houye's face still sank and he didn't say anything, but his gloom and anger could be felt by everyone present.

"Master, when the concubine rushed over, Aunt Mei did have nothing to do with Du Houye, but what did Aunt Mei say to Du Houye, this concubine is embarrassed to say, Aunt Mei, tell the master yourself." There was a hint of joy hidden between Li's eyebrows. Aunt Mei is looking for her own death, and she is happy to watch the play.

Aunt Mei's brows were furrowed tightly, she had been begging for life under the Li family for many years, and she was very familiar with Li showing such eyes. Whenever Li makes such a look, it must be that the calculation has been successful, and someone is going to suffer.

She had a faint feeling that as soon as she spoke, she would definitely fall into a trap, or that she had fallen into a trap now.

"I ......" Aunt Mei wanted to speak and stopped, she desperately wondered what Li had planned, but she just couldn't think of it.

"What are you doing, if you don't say it, is it possible that there is a ghost in your heart?" Li snorted coldly.

With the Li family instigating on the side, Aunt Mei couldn't say anything, and Hou Ye Xie also had a sinking face, and his concubine was very unhappy when he saw a foreign man in private.

"Aunt Mei, you still don't say it!"

Seeing that there was already anger in Hou Ye Xie's words, Aunt Mei gritted her teeth and blurted out: "The concubine heard that Hou Ye Du is a kind person, so I begged him to persuade Hou Ye to take the fourth young lady back." ”

At this moment, Aunt Mei didn't care about what conspiracy the Li family had, if she didn't say anything about it, she would definitely not be able to save her life.

"Master Hou, what the concubine said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Du." Aunt Mei once again set her hopeful eyes on Du Houye.

Du Hou Ye nodded, "That's true, Brother Xie, Ben Hou heard that Miss Xie Hui is well-behaved and lovely, so I want to ask Xie Hou to bring people back, if it is appropriate, I will find a time to do it." ”

"Errands? What to do? Aunt Mei's heart jumped, and she always felt that something bad was about to happen.

Li smiled and said, "Aunt Mei, didn't you ask for this in person?" What are you pretending to be confused about. ”

Aunt Mei was stunned: "I just want to bring Hui'er back?" ”

But just after hearing what Du Hou Ye meant, it was clear that there was something to do after bringing people back.

Li sneered: "Du Hou Ye is an outsider, what name do you use to persuade the master, is it Aunt Mei that you are in a hurry to send the four girls to Du Hou Ye to be concubines?" ”

Xie Hui made Du Hou Ye a concubine?

Aunt Mei's face turned pale: "The concubine didn't mean this, the concubine didn't say this." ”

She was originally a concubine, so she naturally knew how many grievances she had as a concubine, and she was so pressed by the main room that she couldn't breathe, and said cautiously every day that if she wanted to go out, she had to ask for the consent of the main room, and her words and deeds were restricted. How could she let her daughter also be a concubine?

Aunt Mei glanced at Du Hou Ye, and Du Hou Ye was old enough to be Xie Hui's father, how could she give her daughter to an old man as a concubine?

"Master, the concubine really didn't say this." Aunt Mei hurriedly begged Master Hou, "Master, don't misunderstand the concubine." ”

"Master Du, you know, the concubine has never said this." Aunt Mei cast her hopeful eyes on Du Hou Ye, hoping that Du Hou Ye would stand up and say something.

Li Shi laughed coldly: "Aunt Mei, you don't want to think about it, if you are not related to each other, why does Hou Ye Du say something for your mother and daughter, not to marry Xie Hui, is it difficult or you can't marry in the past?" ”

Hou Ye Xie's face changed greatly, and he looked at Aunt Mei with cold eyes. Du Hou Ye has a fetish, others don't know about it, and he still occasionally hears of it. Du Hou Ye is a freak, he doesn't like young and beautiful girls, but he has a soft spot for mature women who marry and become wives. Xie Hui is too young, and it probably doesn't fit Du Houye's taste, but Aunt Mei likes Du Hou Ye even more.

His concubine was favored by others, and Hou Ye Xie suddenly had a feeling of swallowing fly feces.

"No, no, the concubine body definitely doesn't mean that." Aunt Mei shook her head desperately, "The concubine is the master's person, master, you believe in the concubine." ”

When she and Hou Ye Du met privately, it was easy for people to think crookedly, if the words of the Li family were listened to by Hou Ye Xie, then she would be a woman who did not abide by the way of women and would be immersed in the pig cage.

Xie Houye kicked Aunt Mei away: "Get out!" ”

Aunt Mei said in her heart, it's over......

"Master Du, do you really want to take Benhou's daughter as a concubine?" Xie Houye asked.

The concubine was originally used to marry, although Marquis Du has no real power, but he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Du and the nephew of the emperor.

"Sir. Du Hou Ye has spoken for the four girls, isn't this meaning obvious. Li covered his mouth and smiled. Those concubines and concubines are the most annoying, so it's better to send them out early.

Du Hou Ye nodded: "Ben Hou is very satisfied with Miss Xie Si, and I also ask Xie Hou to complete Ben Hou." ”

"No ......"

Without waiting for Hou Ye Xie to speak, Aunt Mei hurriedly denied it, rushed over and hugged Hou Ye Xie's thigh, crying and said, "Master, please, don't send Hui'er to be a concubine, just treat it as a concubine who has not begged Hou Ye." ”

She would rather Xie Hui stay in the family temple, so that she can still have hope, if she is really carried to Ning'an Hou Mansion in a pink coat and a small sedan chair, then Xie Hui's life will be over, and she will say in a low voice like her, even worse than her. At least when she married Xie Hou, Xie Hou was still a young man.

"Aunt Mei, this family affair is what you asked for, or did you ask for it from Mrs. Ben, and you haven't been held accountable for your own assertions, you actually jumped out now and said that you don't agree, aren't you teasing Du Houye!" Lee's words were full of mockery.

What Li wanted to say was exactly what Hou Ye Xie wanted to say, and glared at Aunt Mei fiercely.

But fortunately, there was no annoyance on Du Houye's face, so Xie Houye did not punish Aunt Mei fiercely, but only shook her off with one foot: "Aunt Mei, there is no place for you to speak here." ”

The corners of Li's lips hooked slightly, and his heart blossomed.

"Now that Du Hou Ye has spoken, Ben Hou can't be unkind, but although Hui'er is only Ben Hou's concubine, she can't be cheap." Xie Houye's good calculation, although he sent his daughter to be a concubine, he also had to take the face of his father-in-law.

"Nonsense!"

An angry roar came, and I saw Mrs. Xie holding the maid's hand and walking in.

The most surprising thing is that the girl who followed behind Mrs. Xie was dressed in azure plain clothes, her expression was light, and her bright eyes seemed to be able to see through the world.

Isn't this the missing Xie Qing?

"Mother, why are you here?" Xie Houye couldn't be surprised, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li was also surprised, didn't Xie Qing say that he was missing? Why did he appear again, and said with a smile: "Five girls, when did you come back?" It's good to come back, God forbid, one of your girls' family has been missing for these days, and the eldest aunt still thinks something happened to you. ”

"Sister-in-law is too worried, Qing'er has nothing to do." Lin bit every word very clearly. She doesn't have a good impression of the Li family at all, and she wants to ruin her daughter's reputation, no way!

Xie Qing smiled faintly, "Qing'er is fine, your worries are really unnecessary, auntie." ”

The Lin mother and daughter were not polite at all, let alone Xie Qing, even the Lin family, who had always been submissive, spoke with thorns.

Li's brows furrowed: "Qing'er, how are you talking to your eldest aunt!" And there are no rules. ”

"Qing'er is just telling the truth, auntie, what do you mind?" Xie Qing smiled lightly.

That's right, I'm just saying that you're nosy, that is, you're not at ease, what do you do with me!

"You ......" Li's face changed slightly.

"That's it!" Hou Ye Xie hurriedly stopped the Li family, he saw it clearly, Old Madam Xie's face was not very good.

The most important reason is that if Xie Qing had spoken like this, Old Madam Xie would have scolded her for the first time, but today Old Madam Xie did not accuse Xie Qing of half a point, there must be something greasy in this. Lee, who has always been shrewd, shut up for the moment and observe the form first.

"Mother, why are you here?" Xie Hou Ye greeted him.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie was coming, Aunt Mei hurriedly knelt down as if she had seen a savior: "Old lady, you came just in time, the concubine begs you, don't give the fourth lady to Du Hou Ye as a concubine." ”

What Aunt Mei didn't notice was that Old Madam Xie's face became even darker when she saw it.

"Hou Ye Du, there is a lot of inconvenience today, this family matter can be discussed later, what does Hou Ye think?" Old Madam Xie's tone was tough, and she couldn't tolerate Du Houye's refusal.

Mrs. Xie is different from others, she has always been quite prestigious, Du Hou Ye was not very interested in Xie Hui, he was interested in Xie Hui and her mother, and immediately replied: "Then Ben Hou will leave first." ”

Obviously, the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion has family matters to deal with, and it is better for him to be an outsider. Du Houye's good popularity is not for nothing, and observing words and feelings is his strength.
