Chapter 172: On Fire
"Bracelets? My bracelet? Xue was a little puzzled.
One of the officials reached into his arms, took out two red gold skein bracelets, and handed them to Xia Yuanwai: "This is the evidence of the crime." ”
Xia Yuanwai only glanced at it, and then slashed at the Xue family: "Do you still want to deny it?" ”
Xue Shi also leaned over to take a look, and the puzzle on his face was even heavier: "I haven't worn this bracelet for a long time, I'm afraid I'll lose it, how can I be here?" ”
Xia Yuanwai snorted coldly: "Lost? Even if you lose it, I'm afraid that your good brother stole it, right? ”
Xue was speechless, and he was speechless.
What this said is the truth, according to the character of the Xue family, if any maid in the house is not clean with hands and feet, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down long ago. She lost a pair of gold bracelets and didn't even make a noise, obviously, I am afraid that Xue Zhao stole it.
On the side, Xia Zixian secretly dragged the Xue family and secretly glanced at her: "How could my uncle do such a thing?" Even if it's for the sake of my mother, I can't make an assertion, right? I still talked and laughed when I came here today, and I never mentioned this matter. ”
This is to let the Xue family give up the car and protect the handsome, and shirk the matter first.
Xue Shi refused to give in: "It's impossible!" Someone must have deliberately framed us. Xue Zhao: Is that full? ”
The official snorted lightly from the end of his nose, then glanced at each other, and said solemnly: "Madam, don't worry, we are not here to investigate your sins. This aunt has said it again and again, and she doesn't believe that you would do such a thing, and she doesn't want to pursue it.
But we cannot tolerate the perpetrator, and we must arrest him. So, please tell us, where did Xue Zhao go? ”
Xia Yuanwai on the side glared angrily: "Xi Rou and tolerant, I don't care about what you hurt her, and treat her leniently." But you slandered her again and again, and did not give up. The two are contrasted, and the moral character is immediately superior. If you refuse to tell the truth, then go to the government and speak. I will never give up on those who are gentle and gentle. ”
Xue had just been beaten, and now he was reprimanded again, his face full of grievances, anger, and hatred.
"I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with us, and it cannot be Xue Zhao's doing, and I don't know where he has gone now? Do you have to ask me to cut out my heart and show it to you? ”
Xi Rou waved her hand again and again, looking horrified: "Don't, madam, Xi Rou has already said it, I believe it was not you who did it." ”
"Less cat crying mouse fake mercy!" Xue Shi didn't appreciate it: "What is my brother's style of doing things, I know very well, he has always been unprofitable, and he can't deal with you." ”
"Are you still quibbling?" Xia Yuanwai looked distressed: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, you still refuse to admit it, and you are still so arrogant?" Since Xirou entered the door, she has been obedient to you and obedient, and you won't give up if you don't get rid of her, right? ”
"It's not!" Xue Shi almost beat his chest and cursed: "Only those who kill a thousand knives will do this kind of thing!" ”
There was a lot of noise here, and the two officials glanced at each other and threw their hands at Xia Yuanwai: "It is inconvenient for us to participate in the housework of your mansion." I'm going back on my errand. Regarding Xue Zhao's whereabouts, if Xia Yuanwai has news, please send someone to inform him, and we can close the case as soon as possible. ”
Xia Yuanwai didn't want people to see the joke in front of outsiders, so he politely sent the two officials out.
When he turned around to face Xue, he was already in a storm.
"Come on, send Madame back to the courtyard to rest. In the future, don't wander around if you have nothing to do! All the big and small things in the house will be handed over to Aunt Rou for the time being! ”
Xue Shi took a few steps back in a row, full of disbelief: "Master, you actually sent me like this?" ”
Xia Yuanwai sneered angrily: "This is already light! After the case is clarified, whether you leave or stay, or another story! ”
These words were simply like five thunderbolts, and the whole Xue family was stupid and stunned.
The tears in Xia Zixian's eyes suddenly burst out of her eyes: "Dad, how can you be like this?" Have you forgotten what your mother suffered with you in the first place? How many grievances has she suffered for you, and how many people have insulted her? How can you be gullible? ”
Xia Yuanwai turned around and looked at Aunt Rou distressedly, and no longer paid attention to Xia Zixian and Xue: "How are you now?" Are there any injuries? Are they having trouble for you? ”
Aunt Rou shook her head: "I was just scared, and I'm still flustered." He was not injured. ”
Xia Yuanwai took her into his arms: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." You should be careful when you go out in the future, you can't be so hasty. Go, go back, and let the girl make you a cup of ginseng tea to calm your nerves. ”
Aunt Rou nodded obediently, and walked away hand in hand with Xia Yuanwai.
Xue Shi sat on the ground with a butt, straightened his eyes, and only after a while, under Xia Zixian's persuasion, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Fox spirit, it's really vicious!" ”
Ansheng, as a bystander, looked a little stupid from the sidelines.
The Xue clan was defeated like this?
Aunt Rou actually won such a beauty?
Was it really Xue Zhao who kidnapped Aunt Rou on the order of the Xue family?
Aunt Rou, a powerless woman, can escape the clutches of two gangsters, and she can also bring the two to justice, which is too powerful.
But Aunt Rou has no relatives and no reason in the capital, so it is impossible to set up such a bureau and frame the Xue family in turn, right?
No one will believe it.
Aunt Rou entered the Xia Mansion in just a few days, and she actually divided five by two and destroyed the deep-rooted Xue family?
Compared to her, he is simply too weak.
She felt more and more that this Aunt Rou was really not simple.
Xue Zhao came to the door the next day, swore a gambling curse, claimed that he was wronged, and did not hesitate to point to the sky and scold the earth, and the sky thundered five times.
He came to the mansion that day to ask for money from the Xue family, and his hands were loose, so he went to an old man to nourish him for two days, and he didn't know anything about it.
But as soon as he heard that he was going to the Yamen, he immediately became timid in his heart, shook his head like a rattle, insisted on refusing to go to the hall to confront the two people, and he didn't care about the current situation of the Xue family, so he ran out of the house and never dared to come to the door again.
If no one keeps pursuing it, in the end, it will be over.
Xia Yuanwai was indignant at the beginning and refused to forgive. Later, I heard that it was Aunt Rou who persuaded him, raised his noble hand, and gave up.
Xia Yuanwai has been very busy with official business recently, and he really can't be distracted when he goes out early and returns late, so the matter is put on hold for the time being.
Aunt Rou has gained complete freedom in the mansion, and she can come and go as she pleases, as if she has really become the newly promoted hostess of the Xia family.
And the Xue family is naturally not to be outdone. In her own words: the broken ship is still three inches long.
Her foundation is here, and she will not willingly hand over all the affairs of the house to Aunt Rou to control, and the two started a struggle for power. You come and go, and you don't let each other go.
An Sheng is not in the house on weekdays, so he has always been a bystander and has not participated.
Moreover, this Aunt Rou's methods are indeed good, and An Sheng gradually became vigilant in his heart, not wanting her to really become the head of the Xia family. What if, really like what Xue said, she has ulterior motives?
After the weather was cool, the night came early, and Ansheng returned home early.
When the carriage was halfway through, I heard the noise of people outside and the mixed footsteps, and the carriage slowly stopped.
An Sheng poked his head out of the car and saw a crowd of people talking on the street, as if something had suddenly changed.
"Uncle Leng, what's going on?" An Sheng asked curiously.
Leng Bo replied: "Miss Ansheng, I heard that there is a fire in the east, and the officers and soldiers are in a hurry to put out the fire, so the road is temporarily closed, and you will have to wait for a while before leaving." ”
An Sheng raised his eyes to look east, because it was dusk, and it was gradually twilight, so the fire was especially bright, emitting thick black smoke, and it seemed that the fire was not small. It is not known how many innocent people will be implicated.
"The danger is big, we are not in a hurry, wait a while and then leave." After giving the order, Ansheng retracted into the carriage, ignored what was going on outside the window, and continued to read her medical book intently.
After a meal, the road was cleared, and the carriage continued to move forward, sending Ansheng back to the Xia Mansion.
Ann Sheng got out of the carriage and went straight back to her yard.
The Dragon Boat Festival was holding the pergola with his forehand, looking towards the east, and when he saw An Sheng, he asked curiously: "Miss, I heard that the east side is on fire, you just came back from outside, do you know where it is?" ”
An Sheng shook his head: "It is true that I saw many officers and soldiers pushing the water dragon to Dongcheng, and it was obvious that the fire was extremely strong, but I didn't inquire." ”
The Dragon Boat Festival came down from a high place: "It is the time when the weather is dry and dry, and today there is a strong wind, and the fire is particularly violent, and it is not easy to extinguish it." ”
An Sheng casually said "um": "Thanks to being on the outskirts of the city, otherwise today's wind would almost destroy the houses on a street." I don't know who was so careless. ”
The Dragon Boat Festival poured tea and served it to her, and said gloatingly: "Today, Mrs. was reprimanded by the master again." ”
"Really?" An Sheng took a sip of tea and raised his face: "She is not Aunt Rou's opponent at all, and she has repeatedly come to the door to provoke, and it is common for her father to blame her." This time, it should also be because of Aunt Rou, right? ”
"No," Dragon Boat continued: "Today, Madame had a quarrel with Aunt Rou, and even had a big fight. ”
An Sheng is no longer surprised by this, the Xue family can't tolerate Aunt Rou, even if she endures it, there will be a day when she will break out.
She said indifferently: "What is it for this time?" ”
"I heard that when Mrs. and Aunt Rou were talking today, they brought up the old story again, and mentioned the abduction and trafficking that day. Aunt Rou said the wrong thing for a while, which made Xia Zixian coldly remember something, Madame's red gold bracelet has not been worn for many days, and Aunt Rou has just entered the door and has never seen the bracelet, how can she be able to identify it at a glance that day?
When Mrs. heard this, she was also very puzzled, and questioned Aunt Rou, who was speechless for a while. The Xue family naturally thought that it was a trap laid by Aunt Rou and deliberately framed herself, and the two parties quarreled.
When Aunt Rou was angry, she didn't choose her words and said a few disrespectful words, and the eldest lady directly moved her hand and hit Aunt Rou.
And Aunt Rou relied on the master's favor and was fearless, and she fought back on the spot, and the two made a fuss, and no one could persuade them. And Mrs. Xia Zixian here is here to help, and Aunt Rou suffered.
The subordinates were helpless and in a dilemma, and someone went to the master to call the master back, and the master finally calmed down the matter. ”
