At this point, Mama Huo's words changed sharply, and she gritted her teeth and said: "But no one expected that after this man left Zhuangzi, he would tell people everywhere that the eldest girl seduced him. At first, the people didn't believe it, so he swore and swore some nonsense, and even said the mark on the eldest girl's body, and within a few days, all the places in the city were all over the lower nine ranks, and it was simply ......"

Her lips trembled, her face turned blue, she couldn't speak any longer, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Chen Ying listened in a daze, and felt a little chill in her heart.

It is almost impossible to think about what kind of situation such an unbearable rumor will force an ancient woman to.

"If Mama doesn't want to say it, don't go on, I already understand." She couldn't help but persuade.

These past events are really not suitable for recall, the old man is too emotional, and he is afraid of hurting his body.

No, before Chen Ying could speak, Mama Huo shook her head, and her wrinkled face squeezed out a miserable laugh: "Although the third master understands, I'm afraid that what happened later, but you can't guess it." ”

Her voice was a little dry, like a knife cutting a person's ear drum, and every word she spit out carried an indescribable lag.

"The old slave knows that the third master is a smart person, and he must have guessed a rough idea." Mama Huo's gray hair shook with the words, as if the snow fell on her: "The eldest girl came later...... Afterward...... It's going to swallow gold. The old lady originally sent many people to guard the eldest girl, for fear that the eldest girl would find a short-term view. However, the eldest girl still hid a piece of gold and secretly swallowed it behind her back. When I found it the next day, the big girl's body was ...... It's all cold. ”

She held the veil and wiped her tears, but the tears still flowed down, and she couldn't stop it, and soon the veil was soaked with tears.

Chen Ying took out a new handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it over.

Mama Huo took it and pressed her eyes, and after a while, she barely stopped her tears, wiped the corners of her eyes and choked up: "The old slave was rude, and the third master saw the joke." ”

Chen Ying shook her head and didn't speak, just sat quietly alongside.

Somehow, such a silent but silent action made Mama Huo feel a little comforted.

After a few minutes, she calmed down and began to speak again.

Although Master Hou was only thirteen years old at that time, he was already very sensible, he closed the door and guarded the body of the eldest girl for a night, and took people out the door the next day. Later, the old slave learned that Hou Ye found the man who spread the rumors and forced him to tell the reason. Her tone changed completely from this moment on, no longer sad, but full of hatred.

She gritted her teeth and said: "That cheap thing is a poor scholar, who wants to get rich and wants to climb high and wants to go crazy, bullying our old and small Hou Mansion, and the reputation of the big girl is not good, so he started a wishful thinking, thinking that he would simply give the reputation of the big girl to the end, and when the old lady is in a hurry, maybe he will be able to give him the big girl, and he will be able to kiss the Hou Mansion with this poor acid, it is really a cheap thing with a lard covering the heart, I bah!" ”

Mama Huo spat on the ground a few times, the flush on her cheeks intensified with anger, and she coughed again after speaking.

Chen Ying hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the teacup, and Mama Huo took it and drank two sips before she stopped coughing and gasped: "It's time for the third master to bother, the old slave will finish speaking soon." ”

Chen Ying was very worried about what happened to her body, but the old man was obviously holding back ruthlessly, if she didn't finish speaking, she was afraid that she would hurt her body even more, so she had to sit back and listen to her continue.

"Hou Ye later told the old slave that the cheap thing stared at the big girl, and because the big girl had a notoriety of 'Keqin', he borrowed the courage from the sky to climb the Hou Mansion. He took out all the money and bought off an old woman next to the eldest girl, who was boiling water on the stove, because the guards on the village were not so strict, so he asked the old pious woman to secretly see the girl bathing, and the mark on the girl's body was what the old pious woman told the cheap billet, it was really ...... cough cough cough ......"

A violent cough interrupted the narrative, the flush of Mama Huo's cheeks became more obvious, and she went to serve the tea cup with trembling hands, Chen Ying hurriedly stepped forward and handed it to her, and said softly: "Okay, Mama, I know everything, don't worry, slow down." ”

This time, Mama Huo's cough went quickly, and after two mouthfuls of hot tea, her complexion eased a lot, and she said in a loud voice: "The third master forgives the sin, the old slave is really rude today, and the third master must forgive." ”

Chen Ying wanted to say "no", but before she could open her mouth, she suddenly felt a chill behind her, she turned her head to look, and saw that the door curtain was tall, and Pei Shu was standing by the door, the robe on her body was blown by the wind, and there were a few pieces of fine snow falling on her sleeves.

"Those old things, Mama doesn't need to talk about them anymore." He lowered the curtain, strode in, put a coat on his arm and draped it on Mama Huo's body, and said in a low voice: "I asked someone to burn the charcoal stove, Mama and go to the car to wait, I'll be fine soon." As he spoke, he stepped forward to help.

Since seeing him enter the house, Mama Huo's eyes were full of joy, and when she heard the words at this moment, she slapped his hands with a smile: "Okay, okay, the old slave is finished, Hou Ye just needs to do the right thing." ”

"Mama, let's get in the car first." Pei Shu helped her up, and nodded slightly to Chen Ying: "It's hard work." ”

Mama Huo also laughed and said: "Thank you so much just now, I didn't bother the old slave, the old slave now feels that his heart is lighter, and the third master is really a kind-hearted and kind-hearted girl." ”

The old man is old and easy to forget, and this opening still leaks her understanding of Chen Ying's identity.

Chen Ying had expected this, and when she heard this, she only smiled and said, "It's okay", and Mama Huo didn't realize that she was gone, and she kept grinning.

Pei Shu saw it on the side, and for some reason, his expression was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Chen Ying only cared about talking to Mama Huo, and his strangeness was not so obvious.

Finding someone to send Mama Huo out, Pei Shufang turned around, picked up the kettle and refilled the tea in the teapot, a puff of white smoke poured down, and his deep voice was also mixed in: "You...... Got it all? ”

"Yes, Mama Huo told me." Chen Ying said, both in demeanor and tone, very calm.

Pei Shu looked at her for a moment with the rest of his eyes, and when he saw that her face was as usual, he inexplicably felt relieved in his heart.

"That being the case, you should be able to understand my attitude." He carried the kettle to the ear room next to him, Chen Ying heard a faint sound of water, it should be that he was pouring water into the kettle, and a low voice came: "That's good." ”
