Mrs. Du Pei took the handmaid's hand and turned through the half-moon gate of the west side courtyard, and stepped on the bluestone steps to the side room, followed by Mrs. Du He Shi looked at the mother-in-law and maid who were trembling and retreated to the side, and stepped forward a few steps to talk to the eldest lady.

"Sister-in-law, didn't the bride send someone to say that there was a thief in the house? How is it in Huo Lang's study? She looked left and right, "Why don't you see Huo Lang?" ”

Pei Shi glanced at her and said coldly: "She was born in a businessman, and she just married into the mansion and doesn't understand the rules, don't you understand it either?" The Du family is a century-old family, when did you ever make a family thief? ”

The Du family has always been the eldest daughter-in-law, after the death of Du Laoshangshu and the old lady, the eldest son Du Yuanzhang is the head of the family, and Mrs. Pei has also become the main mother, and has mastered Du Fuzhong for many years.

He Shi's face was a little unbearable, but he could only grit his teeth, lowered his head, but still said in his mouth: "Then, it is not a mess now, and even the ceremony of serving tea and recognizing relatives has been delayed." ”

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the wing room not far away, wanting to take a look.

Pei Shi's face sank even more when he heard her words, and his steps were two points faster, forcing the anger in his heart to move forward with a cold face.

Only the Li family, who followed behind them two steps, was still silent, walking without saying a word, and had no intention of interjecting at all.

"The lady raised by the Xiao family is really different, she didn't go to serve tea on the first day of her wedding to recognize her relatives, but she made a fuss here." Pei Shi looked at Xiao Rongyue, who got up to salute, and slightly bent the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and his tone was cold and authentic.

He Shi played a cool fan and said with a smile on the side: "No, we are still waiting to eat the bride's confession tea, then I thought there was a commotion here." ”

She blinked, and asked Xiao Rongyue again: "What about Huo Lang?" There was such a big commotion in his room, why didn't he see him? ”

Pei Shi glanced at her, his gaze fell back on Xiao Rongyue, staring at her coldly and waiting for her to speak.

"I don't know where Du Jialangjun is, but I just entered the house last night, and there was a thief in this courtyard, I am a stupid person, and I don't know what to do, so I have to stay here by myself and send someone to invite the elders to come over."

Xiao Rongyue took in the faces of the three ladies of the Du family, and said with a slight smile, "How to deal with it, but I still have to be taught by the elders." ”

He saw it at this time, and there were several mothers-in-law standing outside Du Huo's study, looking at the clothes they were all brought from the Xiao family, and they guarded the door of the study tightly, as if there was really something inside.

She couldn't help but glance at Xiao Rongyue, and her smile was even more kind: "This is the study, where did the thief come from, I'm afraid it's wrong, why don't I take someone in and take a look to know the truth or falsehood." ”

She looked warm-hearted, but Pei Shi sneered: "This is Huo Lang's garden, how to deal with it, I have something to say, so I don't have to worry about the second brother and sister." ”

She couldn't see He's thoughts, if it weren't for Xiao Rongyue being in front of her, she wouldn't have tolerated the second room being so presumptuous.

He pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, glanced at the study again unwillingly, took a step back in disguise, and stood with Li.

"You are from a businessman's family, it is inevitable that the upbringing at home is different from ours, when I talked about this marriage before, I didn't like it very much, after all, it is a good marriage to be the right person." Pei Shi raised his chin slightly, looked at Xiao Rongyue in front of him with half-lowered eyes, and slowly spoke.

"It's just that Lao Shangshu and your grandfather have already decided on this family business, and our children and grandchildren can't disobey the will of the elders, so we have to marry this family," It's just that since you married into my Du family, you should know that the Du family is a century-old Qingliu family, and the most important thing is the reputation of the rules, you should keep to yourself and follow the rules, how can you do these ridiculous things that make people laugh." ”

She glanced at the servants on the side: "Why don't you send her to Chunhua Garden soon, so that the elders will wait for a long time." ”

He didn't even say a word about the thieves.

Xiao Rongyue sneered in her heart, but she knew that Chunhuayuan had never invited the elders of the Du family's family to come over, they disliked the Xiao family as businessmen, and looked down on Xiao Rongyue, even if she came in with a large amount of money to marry, she also climbed the Du family, so she never sent a happy letter to the clan.

She lowered her eyebrows and looked unmoved: "Madame, let's take a look at these things before deciding." ”

After calling Zhan's mother, Zhan's mother had to take the few robes taken out of the study with a bitter face and put them in front of Mrs. Du.

Xiao Rongyue didn't look at the clothes, but just raised her head to look at Pei's family, and the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened a little: "Big lady, look at it, but the objects in the house, this is the thief I found." ”

Pei's eyes suddenly tightened, and he was about to speak, when He Shi on the side looked surprised, and pointed at one of them with a cool fan: "This, this is not Huo Lang's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the woman's clothes inside at a glance, and he was even more stunned: "This, this, how can the wedding night be ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth with a fan, looking like she had accidentally lost her words, shrunk her neck in Pei's murderous gaze, and stepped aside, but her eyes were not limited to looking back and forth between the robe and the study, and the smug color in her eyes became stronger and stronger.

"Madame, but you have to go in and see, who is locked up there?" Xiao Rongyue smiled and waved her hand, and said to Pei Shi, who was blushing.

Pei Shi lost his previous arrogant appearance, endured his anger, lowered his voice and said word by word: "What do you mean by this?" Yesterday was the day when Huo Lang married you, and you are now the third young lady of the Du family! ”

It's what is wrong with Du Huo, that is, she is not thoughtful and considerate as a bride, Pei Shi said this to Xiao Rongyue back then, Xiao Rongyue at that time just married into Du Mansion, and was disgusted by her husband, but she was still so accused by her mother-in-law, and the pain in her heart can only be experienced by herself.

It's a pity that this time Pei Shi didn't have such confidence, Du Huo was already blocked in the study, and even the robe fell into Xiao Rongyue's hands.

Xiao Rongyue chuckled: "What Madame said is that yesterday was the day of marriage, but Du Jialangjun was ......."

As she spoke, she glanced at the study intentionally or unintentionally, "The merchant family has no knowledge, but this person who has a wife and marries a maidservant as his wife, but he still knows the punishment of a year's imprisonment according to Tang Law." ”

The fluttering words made Pei's color change, and he hurriedly reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can there be such a thing!" ”

He couldn't care about maintaining the kindness on his face, and hurriedly ordered the mother-in-law who followed him: "Don't take her away quickly, let her mess around here!" ”

This is Du Mansion, she is the housewife, what tricks can a merchant girl who has just married into the door come up with.

Facing the few mothers-in-law who were about to come forward, Xiao Rongyue was not afraid, and her smile was still shallow: "Don't worry, I just thought it was a thief, I have already taught people to go out of the mansion to report to the official, after all, it is not a trivial matter for such a big mansion to make a thief." ”

She actually dared to teach someone to report to the official! Isn't it getting bigger and bigger, if it really does, wouldn't everyone know about the scandal of Dujo last night!

If it's really just a room to serve after marriage, it's nothing, but on the wedding night, when the wife just got married, the reputation of this favorite concubine and killing his wife is inevitable, according to Tang Law, he will be sentenced to imprisonment, that is, the government will not sentence him, and it will completely cut off Du Huo's future future.

Pei's hands were trembling slightly, and the fingertips holding the fan turned white: "San Lang is your husband!" ”
