Chapter 36: Flowing Water (6)

Master Xia grabbed Xia Ruibei's arm and dragged her into the house. His hand was like an iron bar, which made Xia Ruibei teary-eyed, but he didn't dare to squeak.

Entering the house, Master Xia threw her on the ground, snorting and panting, still lowering his voice: "Did I help you take it out, or did you take it out yourself?" ”

"What? Take out what? Xia Ruibei pretended to be dizzy.

"Smack!" Master Xia slapped her angrily, "I gave you so much jewelry to let you take it to corrupt customs and elope with someone?" I've lost all my face to you! Do you have to me off to death before you are willing? ”

Xia Ruibei's left cheek was painful, and she knelt on the ground and said stubbornly, "You fight!" Beat me to death! I'm dying early and surpassing my life! ”

Master Xia stroked his chest and sighed, and whispered to the two girls who were trembling on the side: "You go and find out the things in her arms!" He wanted to shout loudly, but he was afraid that the rest of the inn would hear and spread the scandal.

Lan'er stepped forward a little frightened: "Miss, ...... you?"

Xia Ruibei turned her face sideways and did not speak. The two girls looked at Master Xia at a loss, and they didn't know what to do.

Master Xia glared at the two girls, almost devouring the two of them alive, Xiang'er shuddered, gave Lan'er a look, and stepped forward and said, "Miss, the slave has offended." She held down Xia Ruibei and let Lan'er search in Xia Ruibei's arms.

Master Xia looked at the bag of gold, silver and jade ornaments in front of him, his chest ached for a while, his eyes were black, and he couldn't speak. These exquisite jewelry are worth a lot of money, and the color, shape, workmanship, and inlay are all made of excellence, all of which he and Mrs. Xia spared no effort to collect materials to create, in order to make their daughter more beautiful, make her happy, and have a face in her in-law's house in the future. Where would he have thought that one day Xia Ruibei would take these jewelry and elope regardless of the family's face and life?

Thinking that he had gone through all the hardships and hardships for this family, he had done his best, and that he was away from home for nine out of twelve months of the year, so that his children could grow up and live a happy life in the future, so that he could enjoy his old age in peace. Who knew that he had raised such a willful, selfish, and unsuspecting daughter, it was really unfortunate for the family, Master Xia was so sad that he wanted to cry loudly, but he still held back: "Do you know what will happen if you elope?" You and our whole family will be ruined and drowned in the spittle, do you know? If you don't feel sorry for us, you can't ruin your life like this! If you are a concubine, you will be looked down upon and ridiculed for the rest of your life, and your children will hate you in the future, don't you understand? ”

Xia Ruibei cried: "Of course I know! Do you think I want to? But you forced me! You don't care about my life or death, can't I plan for myself? Although she cried sadly, she also tried her best to keep her voice down, but she was still afraid that others would know that she was not a woman.

Master Xia was shocked and angry: "How can we ignore your life and death?" "How much he worried about her, how many times he was sad, but she actually said that he didn't care about her life or death.

Xia Ruibei cried a lot, but her tone was not relaxed at all: "Obviously, she caused the trouble, but it was always me who was unlucky." She is a broom star, so that the family is unlucky to follow her, so that I have to be widowed before I get married, but you only want to help her burn incense, no one cares about me. She attracted bees and butterflies herself, but she caused me to be implicated and suffered, but now she is in time, and she has good luck, what about me? But I will be frightened day and night, and I will be widowed! Have any of you ever taken care of me? Really planned for me? Am I not your own? You are too partial, you only care about your reputation and face and the three of them, you don't care about my life or death, and you want me to be submissive? You are dreaming! ”

Old Man Xia was so angry that his temples throbbed and hurt, his chest seemed to be pressed by a thousand pounds of stones, pointing at Xia Ruibei, he couldn't get up in one breath, rolled his eyes, and collapsed on the chair.

Lan'er sighed, "Miss, the master is not good, come and see what is wrong with him?" ”

Xia Ruibei was also frightened when she saw Master Xia's half-dead appearance, and after screaming, she stood stupidly and didn't dare to move.

is still Xiang'er clever, and rushed out to find Xia Ruixi with an arrow step.

Xia Ruixi suddenly heard Xiang'er's shout, saying that Master Xia was no longer good, he couldn't care about anything, he dragged his shoes and only wore a middle coat, and rushed out with his hair scattered. Chun'er hurriedly took a cloak and shouted and chased it out.

When Xia Ruixi arrived, Ou Qingjin, who had already been driven away by Master Xia, was put flat on the bed, and he fed half a cup of hot water, and gradually relieved himself. Xia Jin secretly wiped his tears on the side, and when Master Xia got up in the middle of the night, he heard it. Although Master Xia was sympathetic to his subordinates and did not call him to serve, he was still not at ease in the end, and he also got up. But I just happened to see the cause and effect. When he bumped into the master's **, he didn't dare to make a sound, until he heard Lan'er scream, he didn't care about anything and rushed in.

Chun'er chased in with a cloak and put it on Xia Ruixi blamefully, and Xia Ruixi found that he was not wearing a coat and couldn't help blushing. Ou Qingjin nodded at her as if he hadn't seen anything: "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just take a rest." I'll go back first, and someone will call me for something. ”

Xia Ruixi responded honestly: "Okay." Motioning to Xia Jin to send Ou Qingjin out, she was busy looking at Master Xia: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" ”

I saw that Master Xia's face was pale, his eyes were closed and he didn't speak, Xia Ruibei hid in the corner, bit a handkerchief in his mouth and choked in a low voice. Xiang'er and Lan'er are like two frightened rabbits, their eyes just rolling around, looking nowhere else.

Xia Ruixi knew it in his heart, but he was afraid that Xia Ruibei had done something to hurt Master Xia's heart, and he had the heart to ask, and he was afraid that Master Xia would be even more sad when he heard it again, so he glanced at Chun'er.

Chun'er led two girls to ask the reason outside, and Xia Ruixi took Master Xia's hand and whispered: "Daddy, if you feel uncomfortable, say it to your daughter, don't always hold it in your heart." If you get sick, how can you get better? Now there are only my mother and younger brother in the family, and my younger brother is so young, I don't know if they are doing well recently? How is my brother's reading? And my sister gave birth to a little grandson for you, don't you want to rush back to meet you earlier? If we don't obey and make you angry, you say it, and we can correct it, right? Beibei? ”

"Huh?" Xia Ruibei reacted at this time, walked to Master Xia's bed and knelt down, tears flowed into tears: "Daddy, it's all daughters who are unfilial, and daughters never mean to make you angry, can you forgive your daughter?" ”

Master Xia's eyelids moved, he turned his face away, and whispered, "Get out!" Seeing that Xia Ruibei didn't move, she raised her hand and waved down the cup on the bedside: "Get out!" ”
