Chapter 19: Rebuke

The fire that erupted from An Yuanshan's eyes almost burned Changsheng to death, but there were some things he couldn't say and couldn't ask, at least not now.

If he pretended not to know Changsheng's identity, he would be reluctant to steal the secret recipe at best, and if he let people know that Changsheng was a pawn he had buried five years ago, then he would be scheming.

An Yuanshan still understands this.

Both the stolen goods were obtained, even if he knew that this was a trap for An Qingming, he was still indefensible.

"Second uncle," An Qingming asked him, "do you have anything to say?" ”

An Yuanshan sneered: "Isn't everything in the hands of the eldest girl?" I don't have anything to say. ”

An Qingming said coldly: "Then you admit it?" ”

"What if you admit it? Are you going to send me to the office? An Qingming, I am your second uncle! ”

An Qingming did not answer him directly, but turned around and asked Xu Huai'an: "Xu Gongzi, Ling Zun is the county magistrate of Sanjiang County, and the law and law are more proficient than Qingming, how does Gongzi think this matter should be handled?" ”

Xu Huaian didn't expect to have his own role, and he was a little overwhelmed when he was named at first.

"There is indeed a clause in my Great Xia law that says, less can not be blamed. The second master is the elder of the eldest girl, and it stands to reason that the eldest girl cannot send the second master to the official, even if the second master makes a mistake. ”

Everyone present was stunned.

I thought An Qingming had moved a rescuer, but who knew that it was a rescuer for An Yuanshan.

An Yuanshan smiled, and said in his heart that this stupid boy is still a little useful.

Before the smile could disperse, he heard Xu Huaian continue: "However, niece can't send uncle to the official. But the shopkeeper can send the thief to the official. The big girl said, isn't it? ”

An Qingming said: "Qingming doesn't understand the law, but Xu Gongzi said so, that should be true." ”

The two of them sang and harmonized, and they said the same thing as the real thing, but when they thought about it carefully, they knew that Xu Huai'an was just secretly changing concepts, and there was no basis in the law.

An Yuanshan's face changed: "An Qingming, what do you want to do?!" ”

An Qingming said: "It stands to reason that my uncle should be imprisoned for a few years for what he did, but my uncle doesn't care about family affection, but Qingming can't ignore blood relationship." Send the official, you can't make a clear tea, but please be a witness to everyone present today. ”

She turned around, her gaze swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at Xu Huai'an's face, Xu Huai'an looked at her for a moment, and his eyes were slowly trusted.

"Today, An Jia Qingming, in the name of the big shopkeeper, expelled An Yuanshan from the An family, and what he did was publicized to the An family, and his wife's relatives and An family have nothing to do with it! Life or death, rich and poor are at risk! ”

She looked at Xu Huai'an: "Xu Gongzi, as the son of the county commander, please also give a witness to the An family." ”

The first to react was the shopkeeper Xu, who was a little stunned: "Just ...... That's it? ”

Although An Qingming spoke ruthlessly, in their opinion, it was too light.

It was so light that An Yuanshan himself couldn't believe it, he struggled to break free from the shackles of the people behind him, and sneered: "Since the eldest girl said so, An Yuanshan and his wife have left the An family, and from now on, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return, and there will be no more involvement!" ”

In the scorching summer, An Yuanshan moved out of An's house in a hurry, as if fleeing.

"Why did you let them go so easily?"

An Qingming invited Xu Huai'an to drink tea in the backyard, which was the second time Xu Huai'an entered An's backyard.

An Qingming's movements in making tea were gentle and methodical: "Do you think I didn't do well?" ”

"You ......" Xu Huaian frowned slightly and looked at her, "Aren't you angry that he treats you like that?" Just let him go so easily, and you won't be afraid of his revenge in the future. ”

An Qingming raised her head and smiled at him: "Second Uncle is a restless person, today he left the An family, tomorrow the statement of the An family will be publicized to others, which family will dare to use him?" He has a high spirit, good wealth and good name, without these, for him, life is really worse than death. ”

Xu Huai'an still didn't seem to agree, but he didn't say anything.

She sighed slightly in her heart, today she promised Xu Huai'an to come with her, firstly, to deter An Yuanshan through Xu Huai'an's identity, and secondly, to ......

I want Xu Huai'an to see the Longtan Tiger's Den where she is, so that in exchange for his pity, she can do things in the future with the convenience of the county commander's son.

Her explanation sounded reasonable, but she didn't tell Xu Huai'an everything.

She never tripped over An Yuanshan, what she wanted to pull out was the person behind An Yuanshan.

So An Yuanshan couldn't fall so fast, she wanted to see who was the big tree behind An Yuanshan.

These thoughts were nothing, she did it for granted, and no one could blame her, but now seeing Xu Huaian looking at her with a distressed and dissatisfied look, her calculating heart gave birth to a little human touch, and began to reflect on whether she had done something wrong.

Be...... Shouldn't he be used?

But is this considered utilization?

An Qingming didn't know.

"Qingming," Xu Huai'an's eyes were too clear and too serious, he seemed to know everything, and he seemed to know nothing, "I'm very happy that you are willing to let me see you like this today." I know it's your business, and I shouldn't say anything, but — I mean if — if there's anything you can do with me, don't be polite to me, and I'd be really happy to do something for you. ”

He said very seriously and nervously, obviously thinking of doing something for An Qingming, but he was afraid that An Qingming would refuse his kindness. Seeing him like this, An Qingming laughed out loud, and she said, "I remember." ”

The fragrance of tea overflows at this moment, and it is the tea that is boiled just right.

An Qingming poured him a cup of tea: "Taste it." ”

Xu Huai'an was flattered: "It's delicious at first glance, and the color of the tea brewed by others is different!" ”

An Qingming smiled again.

I don't know when she got used to Xu Huai'an's words, and she no longer felt tired and disgusted like before, but would laugh out loud because of his stupid remarks - laughing out loud sincerely.

An Qingming deliberately made An Yuanshan's actions known to everyone, she was not afraid of others talking about her family's restlessness, after all, she was a junior and a victim, and she received a little sympathy at most, she didn't care, what she wanted to do was to let everyone know An Yuanshan's evil deeds, so that everyone would not dare to take in An Yuanshan, at this time, the only thing An Yuanshan could take refuge in was the one who had been hiding behind him all along.

An Qingming didn't want to let An's mother know about it, but she didn't hide it from An's mother.

When the nurse came to invite her, she had just had lunch, and the sun outside was so strong that it burned and stabbed people.

The nurse put the crushed ice on her by the window, told her to pay attention to her body, and then said softly, "Madame will let you go over." ”

An Qingming didn't feel much surprised, she didn't expect this moment.

She could even guess what Mother An was going to say, she stood up and said to the nurse, "Let's go." ”

Mrs. An was not in the Buddha Hall, sitting in her own room, still hanging a string of Buddhist beads on her hand, and when she heard a knock on the door, she stopped twisting the Buddhist beads and opened her eyes.

"Mother."

Mrs. An smiled: "Here, sit." ”

Mrs. An's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, like a gardenia in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, she worships the Buddha all the year round, and the fireworks on her body are even clearer.

"I've heard about your second uncle." From between the eyebrows, it is impossible to tell whether it is joy or anger.

"Mother's heart is tired."

"Don't work," Mrs. An smiled faintly, she looked at An Qingming, this is the daughter she gave birth to in October, when she was a child, she was ghostly, and she loved to be coquettish in her arms, but after all these years, she was more respectful to her, but not intimate enough, "Qingming, I didn't expect you to do this." ”

An Qingming lowered her head and looked at her fingertips and did not speak.

Mrs. Ann closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the indifferent smile disappeared, replaced by a thick resentment, which did not match the temperament around her to the extreme.

"You know what he's done." Mrs. An said, "You let him go so easily. ”

Her voice trembled, like accusation, like sorrow.

An Qingming left her seat and gently bent her knees in front of Mrs. An, but Mrs. An did not move, as if she did not see.

An Qingming held her hand in her hand, and Mrs. An's hand was cold, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Mother, it's not time yet."

Mrs. An lowered her eyes lightly to look at her, and An Qingming said: "If it is fast for a while, and the people behind the scenes have not come out of the hole, it will not be a failure." ”

Mrs. An said: "What if the people behind the scenes don't come out for a long time? What if An Yuanshan resurrects? Qingming, you are so sure of yourself. ”

She said, "My daughter is sure. ”

Mrs. An shook off her hand and cast her gaze into the distance: "Qingming, I am very relieved that you have an An family in your heart." But I don't want you to forget what your original intention was, who left the An family to you, and what you did so much for. ”

The breeze was blowing, and there were birds chirping.

An Qingming's voice was scattered in the wind: "My daughter hasn't forgotten." ”

Mrs. An clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand: "Your father, he is watching from the sky." ”

His chest was stuffy, as if he was covered by something, and he couldn't breathe.

"Settle down is the brainchild of my father, and my daughter has to watch it."

Mrs. An finally turned her head, there was a look in her eyes, and there were also doubts: "The eldest girl has indeed grown up and has an opinion." ”

An Qingming frowned at her: "Daughter, please ask your mother for more advice." ”

"I don't dare to advise," Lady Ann sighed, "if only you remembered what you promised me." ”

The birds outside the window were frightened, fluttering their wings and flying into the distance, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the sky was vast.

"Daughter, I remember everything."

It's the most scorching time of summer, and it's probably time to cool off soon.

It was a day that seemed to be no different from the usual, the streets were full of pedestrians, the leaves on the trees were curling, the wind was hot, and the air was hot.

Mrs. Xu stood in front of the stove in a satin dress very calmly, it seemed that the rising heat had nothing to do with her, she stirred the chicken soup, tasted the taste, was a little dissatisfied, and threw a few red dates into it.

"The young master hasn't come back yet?"

Chang Yi replied, "No, I'll be back later." ”

Mrs. Xu said: "The master still wants him to participate in next year's Spring Festival, do you look at him like this, as if he is going to participate in the Spring Festival?" If you really go to the exam, you won't lose the master? ”

Chang Yi covered his lips and laughed twice, and defended Xu Huai'an out of affection: "The young master is smart, if you really want to participate in the Spring Festival, you will definitely fight for the face of the master and the lady." ”

"Fighting for face?" Mrs. Xu said, "If he doesn't embarrass me, I'll be Amitabha." ”
