Chapter Seventy-Three: Counterattack
Mother Qian's back stiffened, and she said respectfully: "Yes, the old slave doesn't know." ”
Xie Langhua's eyes were cold, her eyes were full of sarcasm, she glanced at Qian's mother casually, slowly picked up the account book on the table, and said slowly: "There are a total of seventy-five problems in the account book, a total of six thousand seven hundred and forty-eight taels of silver money. ”
As soon as her voice fell, Mother Qian's face turned white in an instant.
Xie Langhua's eyes narrowed, and his voice was in vain: "Mother Qian, do you know that so much silver is enough to be sent to the Criminal Department for questioning." ”
Mother Qian was instantly struck by lightning, standing there unable to say a word.
She never thought that Xie Langhua would see the problem with the account book, and she would also say that her greedy money was not bad.
In a few breaths, her eyes wandered, weighing the pros and cons, and she had already made the best move for herself.
"Miss, the old slave is wrong. Her knees were weak, and she knelt heavily in front of Xie Langhua, she was old, crying a handful of snot and tears, which was called miserable.
Xie Langhua lowered his eyes and looked at her lightly.
Mother Qian cried: "The old slave is also forced to do so! The old slave has been good all his life, but he has repaired a loser, and the old slave has paid off his gambling debts for the money he is greedy for, and the old slave knows that he can't live with his wife, so he asks the eldest lady to read that the old slave has served his wife for many years, and he does not dare to be sloppy in his diligence, so that the old slave can pay back the greedy silver money. ”
Xie Langhua smiled coldly, a sharp edge flashed in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Is this the only thing you did wrong?"
Mother Qian raised her head instantly, looked at Xie Langhua in a daze, looked innocent, and said sonorously: "What does the eldest lady mean by this? The old slave asked himself if he had never done anything else to be sorry for his wife. ”
Under the gaze of Mother Qian, Xie Langhua slowly stood up, she walked up to Mother Qian step by step, her eyes were fixed, and she grabbed Mother Qian's collar, and she didn't know when there was an extra dagger in her hand.
She put the dagger against Mother Qian's neck and smiled enchantingly: "You dare to say that you don't know about quinoa and ginseng?"
Xie Langhua spoke very slowly, his eyes were frozen, and a hideous murderous aura burst out.
Qian's mother was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.
"Big, eldest miss, what are you talking about, the old slave doesn't understand!" Mother Qian's whole body trembled like chaff, and her eyes were full of horror.
Xie Langhua smiled, the dagger in his hand had cut through Mother Qian's skin, there was a hint of fishy sweetness in the air, his voice was as cold as frost, and he said in a deep voice: "Say, how much benefit did you receive from the Zhao family to do such a thing to poison the master?"
The old slave dared to swear to heaven that he had never done anything to murder his master. Mother Qian stiffened her neck, and she was obviously afraid of death, but she pretended to be calm and said, with a calm face, without the slightest sense of guilt.
It was her appearance that stung Xie Langhua's eyes, Xie Langhua's eyes were dyed with a trace of blood, he turned his head to look at Fang Huanyun on the side, hooked his lips and said, "Aunt Fang, go and kill Mother Qian's unfilial son for me, remember to break your bones and scatter ashes." ”
"Yes. Fang Huanyun said on his knees, turning around and leaving.
Dragons have scales, people have weaknesses, and everyone is like that.
At that moment, Mother Qian's body fell to the ground, her face was dead, she looked at Xie Langhua with begging eyes and said, "Miss, I said, I said, please let go of my rebel!"
Saying that, Mother Qian cried loudly, and said with a sob: "It was my aunt who threatened me with my rebellious son's life and asked me to do something for her, what can I do? Even if I don't want to harm my wife, I can only obey, Miss, I am also forced to be helpless!"
Mother Qian said, grabbing Xie Langhua's skirt and begging bitterly: "The old slave is willing to apologize with death, and only ask the eldest lady to spare the life of my rebellious son!"
Xie Langhua did not speak.
Mother Qian's eyes were fixed, her face was resolute, and she got up and slammed into the wall on the side.
Xie Langhua quickly glanced at Fang Huanyun.
Fang Huanyun's body flashed, blocking in front of Mother Qian, and stopped her.
Xie Langhua's chin was slightly raised, and he looked at Qian's mother expressionlessly and said, "I can no longer pursue the account book and the silver money that is greedy for ink, as well as the quinoa and ginseng." ”
Mother Qian's eyes lit up, she looked at Xie Langhua, and said in a deep voice: "What does the eldest lady want the old slave to do?"
She was really shrewd, and she could see through Xie Langhua's mind at a glance.
The corners of Xie Langhua's lips hooked, and he said slowly: "I will let you expose the Zhao family's conspiracy in public, don't worry! As long as you are willing, I will ensure that your son is safe and prosperous." ”
Mother Qian knew that she had no choice, and she said softly: "The old slave is willing!"
Xie Langhua lowered his eyes and smiled, and asked Fang Huanyun to send Mother Qian out.
Her father is coming back, and she always wants him to see clearly what kind of face the woman he has pampered for many years is.
After Fang Huanyun came back, Xie Langhua asked her to find a few people to secretly protect Qian's mother.
Xie Langhua had dinner in Xiao's room as usual, and when he saw Fang Huanyun beside Xie Langhua, Xiao didn't ask much, only said that Xie Langhua should also have a mother in charge next to him.
Xie Heng came back early today, the mother and son ate at the same table, Xie Heng hated Xiao Mo to death, said several times that he would find someone to beat Xiao Mo, and said a lot of words to comfort Xie Langhua.
also talked about the brother of one of his friends, who is handsome and chic, Zhilan Yushu, and asked this friend to let them meet in the future, maybe they can achieve a happy marriage.
provoked Xiao Shi and Xie Langhua to laugh.
Xiao Shi talked about what Lu Shi had come to today, Xie Langhua listened to it and smiled.
After dinner, Xie Langhua didn't stay long, went to Chun Tao's room, watched her eat some porridge, and fell asleep before returning to his room.
At that time, Helian You arrived as promised, first let Xie Langhua run around her yard for half an hour, and then let Xie Langhua take a horse step for half an hour.
Xie Langhua was not tired, and he was sweating all over his body, but he felt that the pores all over his body were stretched, and his whole body was very comfortable.
In the end, Helian You told her that he would not come to teach her martial arts tomorrow, Aunt Fang's kung fu was good, and Aunt Fang would teach her in the future.
Xie Langhua readily agreed.
She and Helian You have a cooperative relationship, but in fact, she doesn't want to have too close a relationship with Helian You.
She knew what his future was and what path he would take.
And all she wants is for the years to be quiet, and the people she cares about can live well.
They are destined to go the other way.
In the dead of night, Xie Langhua couldn't sleep when he was lying on the couch alone.
It wasn't until Dongfang confessed that she closed her eyes shallowly.
In the morning, before she got up, Aunt Fang knocked on the door, and she whispered softly with a hint of anxiety in her voice: "Miss, are you up?"
Xie Langhua has always slept lightly, she opened her eyes instantly, frowned, put on a dress at random, and reached out to open the door.
Seeing Fang Huanyun's solemn look, he opened his mouth and asked, "Aunt Fang, what happened?"
Fang Huanyun's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss, Mother Qian suddenly died!"
As soon as her voice fell, Xie Langhua's eyes widened in vain, her face was gloomy, and she asked coldly, "When did it happen?"
She obviously asked Aunt Fang to send someone to secretly protect Mother Qian, but in just one night, Mother Qian suddenly died.
Fang Huanyun lowered his voice and said: "Our people kept watch outside her room all night, and didn't find anything abnormal, when Mother Bai asked her to get up this morning, she suddenly found that Mother Qian was dead, I went to see it, Mother Qian had no injuries on her body, and there were no traces of poisoning, and she died very strangely." ”
Xie Langhua was silent, there were no external injuries, no signs of poisoning, the means of killing people were so clever that they seemed to be traceless, but they were a little weird.
She slowly lowered her eyes, her face was gloomy, only Xie Wen'an had this ability to kill people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, which meant that they already knew that Mother Qian had defected, and they knew that she already knew everything.
She subconsciously glanced around, and there was a deep feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.
Xie Langhua looked at Fang Huanyun intently, lowered his voice and said, "Aunt Fang sent someone to keep an eye on Xie Wen'an and the Zhao family, I want to know their every move." ”
"Yes, Miss, there's one more thing...... Fang Huanyun said and stopped, his face embarrassed and angry.
Xie Langhua raised his eyes and looked at her: "What's the matter?" Aunt Fang, please tell me!"
Fang Huanyun lowered his eyes and said: "Overnight, the rumors of Xiao Mo and Xie Yaohua were all replaced by the rumors of the eldest lady, and now the streets and alleys are talking about the eldest lady, and the rumors are very unbearable. ”
The more Fang Huanyun spoke, the lower his voice became.
Xie Langhua smiled at the corners of his lips and said, "Oh!
Xie Langhua doesn't need to think about it to know who released these rumors.
There will be no second person except Xiao Mo.
Fang Huanyun was very embarrassed, and said slowly: "It is said that the eldest lady is already an unclean body, and there is more than one guest who enters the curtain, and the birthmark under the collarbone of the eldest lady has also been used to make a big fuss, saying that the person with this birthmark must be water-based poplar, and the blessing is thin and the life is short, and it is difficult to die well." ”
There were a lot of unbearable words, but Fang Huanyun didn't say them.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" At that moment, Chun Tao walked over, and Fang Huanyun's words happened to reach her ears word for word, her angry face swelled red, and she coughed loudly.
"Chun Tao, you are not well yet, why did you get up?" Xie Langhua looked up at her, walked up to her in a few steps, raised his hand to touch her forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her temperature was normal.
"I'm fine, but I'm catching a cold, there's something so serious about the eldest lady there!" Chun Tao said nonchalantly, grabbed Xie Langhua's arm, and said with worried eyes: "Miss, how is this good?"
The eldest lady is still Yun Ying's unmarried woman, if they ruin her reputation, who will marry the eldest lady.
How did Xie Langhua raise her eyebrows and smile, instead of being a little sad, she was as bright as fireworks, she turned her head to look at Fang Huanyun and said, "Aunt Fang, go find me a few gongs and drums, let's go to Xiao's house!"
