"Suro!"

Xie Qigong let out a deep sigh, startling Su Luo's shoulders behind Wang Shi and standing up.

"Li Ershun said that you went to them to inquire about Brother Lang and the maid before, is it true?" He asked slowly, without looking down.

Wang's hands clenched again.

Su Luo knelt down, lowered his head and looked at his knees, and was silent for a while before saying, "What you say back to the master is naturally untrue." The slave maid was just when she went to the second master's house in Huangshi Town to spread the word, and she was seen twice by this Li Ershun. The third girl also said that it was this Li Ershun who was full of nonsense, in order to slander his wife, he did everything, and asked the master to learn from it. ”

Wang's whole person was relieved.

Xie Wan glanced at Su Luo twice and withdrew his gaze.

Xie Qigong frowned and was silent for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Get up!" ”

Su Luo got up, and Xie Wan also got up. Xie Qigong glanced at her, but didn't say anything.

"Let's go down."

With another wave of his hand, he entered the inner chamber with his hands in his hand.

Wang knew that this meant something to say, so he had to follow up.

Xie Qigong frowned and said, "Brother Lang and the maid, did you ask Su Luo to inquire about it?" ”

Wang sighed: "Sister Fang Caiwan and Su Luo have explained, how can the master still not believe me?" Brother Lang is not my grandson, but also a member of my Xie family, can I be so ignorant? ”

As he spoke, he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a bowl of tea, and handed it to him, "Naturally, I blamed Brother Lang for not thinking about it at the beginning, so I spread it out so that outsiders could take advantage of it, and this matter has been a long time, how can the master still question about being a wife?" Li Ershun's mouth said that this matter has nothing to do with me. ”

Xie Qigong took the tea, eased his expression, and said, "It's not that I mean to blame. You have been in my Xie family for 30 years, and you know the rules of the family. Rong'er always tells us that nothing can happen to us, if the source really flows out of our house, it will be tantamount to self-inflicted! Rong'er can be called the pillar of the Xie family, if we drag him back, it will not benefit everyone. ”

Wang's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "What the master said is very true. While beating his back, he looked up again and said, "What about Li Ershun?" ”

Although Xie Wan was exempted from punishment, the matter is not over. Since Zhao Xianling came to the house in person and said, he naturally had to give an explanation.

Xie Qigong's face sank again: "No matter what, the Zhao County order is not strict, even if the subordinates slander others outside, they come to the door to ask me to give an explanation, how can there be such a reason?" Ignore him for now! ”

Wang was stunned, and his eyes gradually darkened.

Xie Wan made a splash all the way back to Yifeng Courtyard.

Wu's mother had already prepared hot food and dried clothes for her to change. Xie Wan explained while dressing: "Go and call Luo Ju to me." ”

She didn't believe that the Wang family would let Xie Qigong let their brothers and sisters go so for nothing, no matter what, the person was beaten by Xie Wan, if Zhao County Ling held on to this layer, Xie Lang would have to go to Zhao Mansion as a trip.

While Xie Lang hadn't come back yet, she had to use this time to figure things out first.

When Luo Ju came in, she was already sitting behind the bookcase and waiting, she first told her what had just happened in the main courtyard, and then said straight to the point: "You go and inquire now if Li Ershun is really a servant in the Zhao County Mansion, if so, when did you go, and who you have been in contact with, you will ask me back." ”

Luo Ju immediately went to prepare.

Fortunately, there was originally his own mule cart in the second room, and there was no need to alarm the house, and Luo Ju went out without attracting anyone's attention.

Xie Wan was eating breakfast, thinking of Wang's intentions, and the corners of his lips became as cold as the winter rain outside.

Xie Rong handed over Qi Gong in the study that day to give up the small profit in front of him, but the Wang family is not Xie Qigong, now Xie Rong doesn't have to worry about her, but the eldest son Xie Hong is still hanging in the air, as a mother, what she cares about now is the future of her eldest son, and with her shallow knowledge, she will not think that moving the second room will really have any impact on Xie Rong's future.

Therefore, Xie Rong's words and Xie Qigong were regarded as holy decrees, but the Wang family was obviously disobeying the yang and the yin.

The Wang family covered the sky in the mansion with one hand, and even Su Luo beside her coped with this kind of thing, and her foundation in the Xie Mansion was deeper than Xie Wan imagined.

The heavy rain did not subside until near the end of the day.

Xie Wan finished reading a book, and Yuxue's voice sounded outside the door: "What are you carrying?" ”

Luo Ju's voice came: "Don't ask first. Can the girl be in Hugsha? ”

Yuxue brought them in. It turned out that in addition to Luo Ju and Shen Tian, two people walked in with a bulging ** bag.

Xie Wan also looked at them suspiciously.

Shen Tian wiped his sweat, stepped on the sack, and said, "I heard that Brother Luo came to the shop just now and said that the girl wanted to ask Li Ershun for questioning, and I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to act alone, so I went with him. But when this kid saw us, he turned around and ran away. I simply knocked him out with a brick and brought him back, to see what tricks he dared to play! ”

Is it Li Ershun in this sack? Xie Wan was dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked at the door.

Luo Ju smiled: "Don't worry, girl, no one is paying attention." When we entered the door to unload the truck, we also said that it was a bag of cloth brought back from the shop. ”

As long as no one is noticed, it is naturally much more convenient to get people back for questioning.

Xie Wan was relieved, thought for a moment, and explained to Shen Tian: "First get people to the small courtyard in the back, find an empty room and untie the bag." Then he said to Luo Ju: "Let Wu Xing go to the school to talk to his brother, just say that there is something in the shop, let him go to the shop after school to deal with the matter and come back." By the way, let Wu Xing go and say hello to Steward Luo. ”

Luo Ju went out, Xie Wan sat in place for a while, and also raised his feet to the side courtyard.

Li Ershun had been woken up by two scoops of cold water, and was kneeling on the ground and looking around in a panic.

Xie Wan entered the house, sat on the circle chair that had been wiped clean, and glanced at him coldly. In a gesture, he has released all the condensation that is usually hidden under the appearance of the eight-year-old.

She didn't speak, just stared at him fixedly.

Her pupils were originally big, and the child's eyes were black and white, Li Ershun didn't know where she was, and she was shocked to see her walk from the light to the dark, and then she stared at herself so silently, she felt more and more unfathomable, and opened her mouth a few times, but she didn't say anything.

Obviously, she is only a half-grown little girl, but the terrifying momentum on her body seems to have been precipitated for half a lifetime, and the kind of calmness that is not sad, happy, pampered, and not shocked is even more unbearable.

The two sides faced each other, and the sweat gradually condensed into beads of sweat from the corners of his forehead.

Yuxue came in and served Xie Wan a cup of tea, she took it in her hand and drank half a cup slowly, seeing that his legs had begun to tremble, then she looked at the closed window door and said, "When I beat you in Huangshi Town, it was the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and you were on an errand in the blacksmith shop in the town at that time. Our wife, Wang Shisu, was friendly with Mrs. Zhao, she knew that you were beaten, and then recommended you to Mrs. Zhao, and then united with the Zhao County Ling family to perform a good show in front of our master. Is it? ”

"No, no!" He gritted his teeth and denied it, but when he looked into her eyes, he suddenly remembered the pain of the two lashes when they fell on his face.

Xie Wanhun didn't seem to hear it, paused, and asked to himself: "What are the conditions between the Wang family and Mrs. Zhao?" ”

Zhao County Ling is also a seven-rank parent official, so he has an identity, and the Wang family doesn't make conditions that make them tempted, how can they agree to be complicit with her?

Li Ershun was dumbfounded and speechless.

He could no longer have imagined that she could point to the crux of this, yes, he was not as clever as others, less diligent than others, and even inferior to others in pleasing and selling well, if there was no reward from the Wang family that day, how could Mrs. Zhao agree to accept him?

He didn't speak for a long time, and Xie Wan didn't rush to urge. But suddenly, she tilted her head, and her voice was so calm that it seemed to be telling her subordinates to take pastries: "Shen Tian, bring the thin quilt on the bed, and then take a stick." ”

Quilts and sticks, a little mixed in the big household for a while, can hear that this is going to be punished. When the stick hits the person wrapped in a quilt, it will only cause internal injuries, and the appearance will not be visible at all. This trick is extremely ruthless, and the slightest mistake will lead to the rupture of the internal organs and death. She's a stinky child, and she knows this!

Shen Tian went to get the quilt stick, Luo Ju just came back from the message, heard Li Ershun screaming in panic, and rushed up with an arrow to cover his mouth.

Li Ershun's eyes showed a near-death horror, and he struggled with all his strength.

When he came out this time, no one knew where he went, and even he himself couldn't be sure where he was, he died at the hands of Xie Wan today, and no one avenged him! Maybe he won't even be able to find his corpse! That is, if he could escape with his life, who would believe that he was planted at the hands of this nine-year-old child and asked her?

He was starting to get really scared of her.

But Shen Tian had already brought the quilt over, and couldn't help but wrap it around him, and tied him tightly with ropes. He was gagged with a rag, unable to speak, unable to forgive, and the stick with the thickness of his arm had been picked up high.

"Woo-woo-"

He swam violently on the ground as if he was crazy, slamming his head against the wall and the table leg with all his might, and the desire to survive was vividly expressed by him in this moment.

Xie Wan gave a look.

Luo Ju stepped forward to lift his hair, and two bloody bags had already knocked out of the tip of his forehead, and the pupils of his eyes contracted violently with fear. Luo Ju dragged him to Xie Wan's feet, and Shen Tian pulled out the rag from his mouth and grabbed him by the throat with one hand.

He gasped for air, his breath pouring like a rapidly twitching bellows.

Xie Wan still said calmly: "What are the conditions between Mrs. Zhao and the Wang family?" ”

He looked up at her with wide eyes, a look on his face as if he had died and come back to life.
