Chapter 218: Back then
Han Xue's face was lost, "The slave and maid expected the girl's entrustment, and went to the old mansion and didn't inquire about anything, because the lady was in her mother's house when she gave birth, so no one in the Xie family's old mansion knew the situation when the lady gave birth." β
"You said that your mother was in the Kong family when she gave birth?" Xie Yuanniang was stunned again.
Why haven't I heard my mother mention it in two lifetimes? After all, this is not a trivial matter.
Han Xue nodded, "The slave maid originally wanted to go to the Kong family in Jiangning County to inquire, but then she was afraid that the girl would come back too late, and then she thought that the fourth cousin young master and the girl were also close, and if the girl wanted to know, it was okay to write to the fourth cousin young master." β
Xie Yuanniang nodded, "I know, you can also go down and rest, you have worked hard these days." β
Han Xue said, "The slave is not hard, Miss Lao is worried." β
That's when he withdrew.
Xie Yuanniang's mind was messed up.
Why did my mother give birth to the Kong family?
It stands to reason that a woman with a big belly can't rush back to her parents' house to visit her relatives when she is about to give birth, which doesn't make sense, but why don't she give birth at her mother-in-law's house and go back to her parents' house?
I just wanted to find out if her father's explanation to her was true, but what came out of the inquiry made the question more and more complicated.
What's going on here?
Originally, it seemed to be just a thin layer of fog, but when you tried to remove it, you found that it was getting thicker and thicker, and you couldn't see the truth more and more.
Now that there is another accident in the house, and it is also involved in a major Chunfu proposition case, Xie Yuanniang has no heart to think about this, so she can only put it aside first.
She knew that things would not be so simple, except that it really had nothing to do with her father, and it was impossible to come to the house to search, so she could only say that something must have happened to her father.
Soon Xie Yuanniang's idea was confirmed, and Ling Mei rushed back, "Girl, Fu Bo said that the master was imprisoned." β
Xie Yuanniang grabbed the square table in front of her with her hand, gritted her teeth, and said half-loudly, "Now go to Jing's peaceful residence." β
I want to come over there and know that the news has gone wrong.
When Xie Yuanniang came out, she happened to meet Xie Wenhui, who also looked anxious, and the sisters glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke, and went to Jing'an House together.
As soon as I entered the quiet and peaceful house, I saw my mother-in-law and girl walking around hurriedly, Xie Wenhui pulled one and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Madame fainted."
Xie Wenhui hurriedly let go of his hand and walked inside, the warm pavilion was very quiet, Liu's mother was twisting a handkerchief and applying it to Kong's forehead, Kong's had already woken up, but he looked weak, lying on the bed, looking straight at the top of the bed with his eyes.
"How's Mother?" Xie Wenhui asked Liu's mother in a low voice.
"Madame fainted just now, and now it's fine. It was the slave who didn't take care of the people in the courtyard and made them mess up, so that they scared the two girls. β
"Mom, when is it, you are the only one to take care of your mother, how can I blame you." Xie Wenhui said that she was not wrong, so she walked to the side of the bed again, squatted down and held Kong's hand without speaking.
In comparison, Xie Yuanniang was too quiet, and she seemed a little cold, standing aside and not speaking.
Mother Liu sighed, "Second girl, Fu Bo is still waiting outside." β
Xie Yuanniang glanced at her, and Liu's mother avoided her gaze weakly.
Xie Wenhui turned his back to Xie Yuanniang, his eyes moved, and he pretended not to hear.
Xie Yuanniang's eyes glanced at a few people in the room lightly, hooked the corners of her lips mockingly, and walked out, with Mother Liu following behind.
Fu Bo was waiting in the small flower hall on the other side, and when he saw Xie Yuanniang coming in, he got up to salute, Xie Yuanniang walked to the chair and sat down, and then said lightly, "Fu Bo sat down and said." β
Fu Bo is also the old man next to Xie's father, and Xie Yuanniang didn't take it in front of him.
Fu Bo didn't sit down in a regular manner, but said the news he heard from the outside, "Yang Shilang said outside that it was not difficult for him to pass the top fifteen in the exam, and this palace exam would also be in front of the name. β
"Originally, no one believed it, but this time there was a large proportion of tribute students in the north and south of Chunqiu, and the southern tribute students made trouble, so this matter was brought up by someone with a heart, and the old man's side has been taken into custody."
Mother Liu said hurriedly, "Second girl, there is such a big thing, now I can only write a letter to the outside, let the old lady find a way, do you want to write a letter to someone to send it now?" β
"Didn't my mother ask me to write a letter? Otherwise, there is something to discuss with me? Xie Yuanniang mocked her lukewarmly, ignoring Liu's mother's blushing face, and looked at Fu Bo, "I don't think it's all right for Fu Bo to inquire, no one in the house takes the spring exam, the eldest brother leaves halfway through the exam, and my father has no contact with the Ministry of Rites, how can he be dragged into the proposition case, I think there may be something else here, Fu Bo will let people inquire about it." β
Her voice paused, "As for my grandfather's side, such a big thing happened, and the northern and southern Gongsheng were all in trouble, even my grandfather couldn't come forward, after all, the Son of Heaven was still staring there." β
Xie Yuanniang's attitude towards Fu Bo was calm and a little respectful, and in comparison, Liu's mother became more and more embarrassed.
Fu Bo responded, "The second girl is extremely analytical, so the slave will inquire again." β
Fu Bofu Fu Fu retreated, Xie Yuanniang didn't move and didn't speak, the silence in the flower hall made Liu's mother feel bottomless, she blessed her body, "The slave maid went to see how Madame was." β
"Go, it's good to comfort my mother, it's happened, don't always think about asking your grandfather first, far water can't save the near fire, Chunyu has always valued the emperor, and now that something like this has happened, it's too late for the world to take themselves out, who wouldn't want to lean on the head." Xie Yuanniang nodded to her, knowing that Mother Liu could understand, so she didn't say much.
Liu's mother was bitter in her heart and retreated.
In the warm pavilion, Kong saw Liu's mother's spirit, and knew that things didn't work out, "I knew that she was ruthless, twice the master had an accident, she was ruthless and didn't write a letter to her grandfather for help, such a vicious daughter, how could I give birth to such a thing." β
"Madam, the second girl didn't say anything, she asked Fu Bo to inquire again, saying that there were other things to do." Liu's mother can only pick up good persuasions.
Kong Shi is also at a loss now, and half-believed, "Really? β
Mother Liu didn't wait to speak, Xie Wenhui said on the side, "Mother is inexplicable, my grandmother's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the government and the opposition, as long as Yuan Niang writes a letter to the past, my father will be fine, and now it's just a matter of waiting, and it's not bad for a while." β
Mother Liu glanced at the corner of her eyes, and she had already heard Mrs. say in her ears, "You're right, it's not bad for a while, wait a minute." β
