090 Self-restraint
"Master Xie, is he going to be beaten into a trick?"
In the end, he is the heir of a high-ranking official and a powerful minister, although Wei Xian was besieged, he was never frightened by this. After Xie Qigong's words were finished, he calmed down a little, "You all insist that I have a private meeting with the eldest girl in the back garden, so can you invite the eldest girl over and let us confront each other in court?" If the eldest girl admits it herself, then I won't say anything! ”
He was sure that Xie Wei, one of the parties involved, would not lie, so he said this sentence categorically.
When Xie Wan heard this, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "No! ”
Since Xie Wei dug this pit for him to jump, how could he ruin his future at this critical moment? If she had told the truth, wouldn't this sacrifice have been in vain? In that case, she will not be able to marry Wei Xian, and her reputation will be ruined, what else can she get? Wouldn't it be tantamount to giving away the city if he made such a request!
After Xie Qigong and Wang listened to her words, their faces sank.
"Wan girl, sit back! There's no place for you to talk here! ”
Xie Wan instantly stabilized his mood and said slowly: "I'm just thinking about my big sister." The eldest sister is a girl's family after all, thinking about how dignified and decent she is on weekdays, no matter whether things are true or not, it is already embarrassing to say such words. If you invite her out again and talk about it in front of everyone, won't it embarrass her even more? It's better to let Wei Gongzi go back to the room first, if the two families become relatives in the future, it won't look good when they get stiff. ”
She defended Xie Wei every word, and Xie Qigong couldn't say anything.
Wang stared at Xie Wan fiercely, and pinched his palms so that he didn't speak.
Ren Jun on the side saw that Xie Wan's eyes did not fall on him from beginning to end, and at this time he stood up to speak for Wei Xian. I couldn't help but bite my lower lip.
When Wei Xian saw Xie Wan come forward, his gaze suddenly softened. Hearing her explain like this, I thought she was really for Xie Wei. So he said: "All the people present are from your house, and they will never make the eldest girl make a fool of herself in front of outsiders." I, Wei Mengqiu, have never suffered such a grievance since I was a child, and I have to wash myself up today! If the eldest girl doesn't come forward to clarify today, won't she be clearly planted on my head? ”
The sons of the family are this common problem, when they have nothing to provoke on weekdays, they are all gentle and polite, and they keep talking about etiquette and morality, and when they are forced to put on the shelf, the inferior nature of self-respect in their bones begins to emerge, look at him now. Where is there any gentlemanly demeanor who cares about the reputation of other people's daughters? is clearly a child who is not to be outdone!
Xie Wan was angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about him.
Wang heard that he was going to tell the story of last night in public, and he was afraid that there would be extraneous branches, so he hurriedly urged Su Luo: "Why don't you go and pass on the eldest girl?" ”
Xie Qigong and Huang breathed a sigh of relief without a trace. Wei Xian's face also relaxed.
I'm afraid that Xie Wan is the only one in the hall who is anxious about this matter.
Xie Wei soon came over with Su Luo.
Seeing the full room, she first stopped at the door for a moment before entering the hall. When she saw Wei Xian, her bright apricot eyes suddenly filled with tears again, and then she pursed her lips and walked to Xie Qigong and Wang with her head hooked. Lifted her skirt and knelt down.
Wei Xian also felt a sense of foreboding when he saw her like this, so he stepped forward before she could speak: "Big girl, there was some misunderstanding between you and me in the back garden last night, and now I would like to ask you to come over and make a clarification." Please tell us clearly. What the hell was going on last night? ”
Xie Wei's body shook slightly, and he raised his face, "Wei Gongzi said this." What is the meaning? She slowly stood up on the table, looking at him with trembling lips. Last night, we. Didn't we just drink two cups of tea at Cui Yi Xuan? …… At this point, what do you want me to clarify? Before the words fell, two more strings of tears rolled down her eyes, lining her pale face, looking as innocent as a little white rabbit.
The house was in an uproar.
Xie Wan covered his eyes with his forehead and twisted his face to the side.
Wei Xian was petrified to the ground, completely speechless.
It was true that she had only had two cups of tea with him, strictly speaking, she hadn't had time to drink them at all, but how much tea she drank was not the point at all! The point is that when she said this, it is equivalent to biting to death that there is indeed a tryst with him, and there is a private affair!
By now, he finally understood why Xie Wan had stopped him from inviting Xie Wei over. It turned out that she had long known that Xie Wei would frame him! But why did Xie Wei do this!
He felt like he was going to collapse. This is completely beyond his bearing!
"Big girl, you make it clear! How did you meet me in the back garden last night, and how did you invite me into the tearoom? ”
He grabbed Xie Wei's arm tightly, and his red eyes were almost out of his eyes. The Xie Mansion in front of him can no longer give him a feeling of closeness, and these people in front of him are all colluding and calculating him alone! How did he end up in this quagmire?
"Master Wei, don't force me." Xie Wei held back her tears and said slowly and forbearingly: "If you really feel embarrassed, I won't force anything." I know I can't climb above you, but you have to know that you are not without responsibility for the situation I am in. The door of my Xie Mansion is open, come when the son wants to come, if you want to leave, we can't stop you! ”
With that, she turned her back and stood, her back straighter than the door.
In September, the sweat on Wei Xian's forehead was already dripping. When she said this, he couldn't pick it up at all.
The sage education he received for more than ten years made it impossible for him to shout hysterically like a scoundrel, Xie Wei was a girl, and it was even more impossible for him to say the fact that she took the initiative to seduce him into the tea room in order to choose himself, and at this moment he suddenly felt that in fact, a good upbringing was sometimes a rope that bound people, so that he couldn't even save himself!
Although Xie Wei said that he could leave at any time, but in such a situation, could he go? If he leaves, he will lose not only his face, but also the faces of everyone in his family, and if he can pull that face and escape, where can he escape his father's punishment? Mother has always been reasonable, no matter how much she loves him, she will never let him go easily in this kind of thing!
Thinking of this, not only did he sweat on his forehead, but even his back was cold.
Xie Qigong sighed for a long time, although he didn't say a word, but the disappointment in his expression said everything. Wang sat beside him, although his face was gentle, but he was also full of helplessness. Huang looked at Xie Qigong and then at Wang, and finally lowered his head to look at his toes. The people with the richest expressions in the hall were afraid that only Ruan and Ren Jun were the only ones.
The Ruan family was full of ridicule at first, but now, the gaze that looked at the Huang family mother and daughter turned into jealousy that could not be concealed. In any case, the Wei Mansion is always a mansion that is easy to climb, and now in this matter, it seems that they are afraid that they will succeed.
Ren Jun's gaze always wandered on Xie Wan and Wei Xian's faces, and now Wei Xian was in a predicament, seeing that the knot between him and Xie Wei was about to form a dead knot that could no longer be untied, his frowning brows suddenly relaxed a little bit. As long as Wei Xian and Xie Wei's marriage is engaged, isn't it possible for Xie Wan to return to him again?
Xie Wan was so focused on thinking about his own mind that he didn't notice the outsider's Ren Jun at all.
At present, if you want to save Wei Xian from predicament, of course, there is a way. She herself is a witness, and she can jump out to prove that Xie Wei is lying, but if she comes forward to testify so directly, Sanfang will definitely not be able to get off the stage, and she will have to face the situation of tearing her face with Xie Wei.
Moreover, Xie Wei is her sister, Wei Xian is just an outsider, she does not hesitate to go against the family to stand out for Wei Xian, what is her position?
So not only Sanfang will regard her as an enemy, but Xie Qigong will definitely not be able to tolerate her. What's more, as the target of the public, her reputation is also likely to be used by some people, although she will have to set up another door sooner or later, but it is still not cost-effective to be so passive.
After a moment of silence, she turned around and asked Yuxue to come over and whispered a few words to her.
The attention of a room full of people was on Xie Wei and Wei Xian, and no one cared about Yuxue's whereabouts.
Huang pulled Xie Wei and began to cry.
Xie Qigong sighed for a long time and walked around the hall with his hands in his hands.
No one in the room said a word, and in fact there was nothing to say. The matter has come to this point, and it is suspected of being too pressing, and even more so. Who wants to be this up-and-coming bird at this time?
Outside the silent corridor, there was a small commotion. Wang looked at it and said, "Who's outside?" ”
The little maid at the door walked in in a broken step: "Madam, it is the craftsman who built the wall in Qifeng Courtyard who is making trouble, saying that the uncle deducted their ten-day working hours, and now they are going to strike, and they are willing to continue working only if they have to get paid." ”
"Qifuin?"
Xie Qigong frowned when he heard this.
The Wang family was afraid that the long house would get involved, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "What's the big deal, our uncle will still deduct a few of their wages?" Everyone, go over and take a look! ”
Nguyen agreed and got up. just walked to the door, but was blocked by Pang Sheng's house: "Grandma, did the second girl run out of the octagonal copper stove borrowed from our big kitchen yesterday?" If you run out, please ask your grandmother to go back to your room to get it, I'm waiting here to make ginseng soup for the master. ”
Ruan Shi was stunned, and before he could answer, Xie Qi had already stood up: "When did I borrow your copper furnace?" ”
When Pang Shengjia saw her, he smiled and said, "The second girl is really a noble person who forgets things." It seems that I had a lot of fun eating tea with the three girls at Cui Yixuan last night, but I forgot about this stubble. Fortunately, every grass and tree in this house belongs to the Xie family, and it is not the private property of the slave and maid themselves, otherwise others will not think that the slave and maid are reluctant to have a stove?
"After dinner last year, the girl asked Yinxia to borrow the stove in the big kitchen, saying that she wanted to invite the three girls to Cui Yixuan to eat tea, only the water from the copper stove is delicious, and the girl said yes or no?"
After speaking, she looked at Wei Xian: "Wei Gongzi is also there?" That's right, I heard that Gongzi also stayed in Cui Yixuan yesterday, so dare to ask Gongzi, do you remember what kind of stove that stove is? Childe spoke out so that he could testify for the slave and maid. lest the slave and the maid bear the suspicion of the defilement. (To be continued.) )
