Chapter 64: Death and Life (4)

Master Xia was taken away by Jing Zhaoyin's people, although the fourth aunt and wife soon rushed over to take charge, the Xia Mansion was still in chaos. The people gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered to discuss what kind of law their master had committed, and some well-informed people claimed that it was because the ladies insisted on offending the nobles by sticking incense, and some people claimed that it was because the fugitive slave sued Master Xia, so what did the fugitive slave sue Master Xia? But no one knows.

The Xia Ruixi sisters have their own thoughts, and they haven't slept all night. Especially Xia Ruibei, although she knew from the woman's mouth that Zhao Mingtao did not tell her about betraying Xia Ruixi, but in the end, she did something wrong, and she was inevitably uneasy, and she brought the little girl Mi'er at night and said that she was going to visit Xia Ruixi.

When she arrived at Xia Ruixi's yard, Xia Ruibei asked her mother-in-law to guard the door, and asked Mi'er to guard at the door, and she quietly touched the door of Xia Ruixi's room, standing and listening to what was said inside, but she was involved. After standing for a long time, I only heard someone tossing and turning in Xia Ruixi's room and couldn't sleep, and occasionally Chun'er asked, "Miss, is it in pain?" The beast that killed a thousand knives is simply not a human being! ”

Wan'er said happily: "Amitabha, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha." The third lady is really amazing. ”

After Xia Ruixi answered vaguely, everything fell silent.

Xia Ruibei stood for a while before she went with confidence.

When Master Xia came back from Jing Zhaoyin, it was already early in the morning of the second day.

Master Xia's clothes were crumpled, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were dry and cracked, but his waist was straight. He called the two Xia Ruixi sisters, explained a little, quickly changed into clean clothes, didn't drink a sip of water, and immediately went out again to find His Royal Highness King Rui, who had helped him.

Xia Ruixi's heart was full of trouble, she didn't expect that there would be so much trouble in yesterday's events. Someone really went to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to complain in the name of the Xia family, saying that there were bandits who robbed the second lady of the Xia family and killed several slaves, the evidence was several corpses and two mother-in-law and maids who were still alive. The two mothers-in-law and maids who are still alive have been sent to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion as witnesses, Jing Zhaoyin said, Lang Lang Qiankun, at the feet of the dignified son of heaven, such a thing happened, and asked Master Xia to cooperate with the investigation and find out the bold bandit.

This shows that someone wants to make a fuss about this matter, which not only pulls Zhao Mingtao off the horse, but also damages the reputation of the Xia family, and the person hiding behind it is a good fisherman. Master Xia confessed to everyone who knew about this matter and said that no matter who asked, they would bite to death This matter is made out of nothing, Xia Ruixi sisters went down the mountain yesterday is something that many people have seen, so why did Xia Ruixi be taken away? Not only that, but Master Xia also asked Jing Zhaoyin Mansion to investigate this matter thoroughly, who is it who wants to damage his daughter's reputation?

"Second sister, do your feet still hurt?" Xia Ruibei pitifully grabbed Xia Ruixi, Xia Ruixi frowned: "It's much better." If nothing else, I'm going to rest. ”

"Are you complaining that I invited you to see the peach blossoms, so that you suffered this calamity? But I told you not to go far at the time, but you didn't listen. Xia Ruibei still grabbed her clothes and didn't let go.

A nameless fire "soared" from Xia Ruixi's heart, she stared at Xia Ruibei, and said word by word: "How could I ever say a word to blame you?" Are you coming to me to tell me this now, do you want me to apologize to you, because I didn't listen to you, so I was frightened even with you? ”

Xia Ruibei was startled by the anger and undisguised hatred in her eyes, and retracted her hand in a curt. Xia Ruixi flicked her sleeves and strode away, and Wan'er persuaded softly: "Miss, no matter what, it's the third miss who saved you." ”

When Xia Ruixi heard this, he endured dozens of endurances, but in the end he still said: "Beibei, I was a little frightened, I was in a bad mood, I was not feeling well, and my temper was inevitably a little irritable, don't blame me." ”

Xia Ruibei hurriedly responded: "No, no." If you're not feeling well, just go and rest. Seeing Xia Ruixi walking away, Xia Ruibei suddenly said: "Yan'er, this girl, why haven't you seen her all the time?" Mi'er, go look for her and see where she has gone? Yesterday I shook it around and never saw it again. ”

Yan'er is gone, no one alive, no corpse is dead, which makes the upper and lower courtyards of Xiafu fall into a panic. The last person to see Yan'er was Mi'er, the little girl in Xia Ruibei's yard, when Mi'er saw her take bird's nest to Miss San's room, but Miss San asked people to look for her everywhere, and she didn't find it.

Master Xia and Xia Ruixi's first reaction when they heard about this incident was that Yan'er must have been kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives, in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, Master Xia arranged for people to patrol day and night, focusing on the boudoir of the two daughters, and specially asked Mu Fei to help. Xia Ruixi seized the opportunity to talk to Mu Fei about his madman master, even if she couldn't meet this fellow, but listening to some anecdotes about this fellow could also make her lonely heart get some comfort, feeling that she was not lonely.

The news that Xia Ruixi likes to talk to Mu Fei was spread to the ears of the fourth aunt's wife, who automatically regarded herself as the moral supervisor of Xia Ruixi's sisters, and angrily called Xia Ruixi to discipline her for a long time, asking her to swear that she would never take the initiative to talk to other strange men again, and that she must abide by etiquette and value her reputation.

Although Xia Ruixi agreed, he still went his own way. Mrs. Sigu went to find Mu Fei in person, although Mu Fei laughed and mocked Mrs. Sigu a few words, but she easily refused to talk to Xia Ruixi again, which made Xia Ruixi extremely depressed. She once thought that this hero who had been educated by modern people, who was not confined to etiquette and religion, would be the person who could talk to her the most, but he still disappointed her, he was just free and uninhibited on the outside, and there was no difference between him and the people of this era on the inside.

The outside world was in a mess, with the intervention of a certain two princes, the two Xia family members who were locked up in Jingzhao Yin's prison died mysteriously, and the monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, pilgrims, and the four young masters of the Ou family then came out to testify, and the abduction of Miss Xia became a group of fugitive slaves out of nothing and rumors and slander, and finally came to an end.

The praying mantis didn't catch the cicada, and the yellow finch didn't catch the praying mantis. Everything seems to have returned to square one, except for the two girls missing from Xia Ruibei's room at the same time, one Xin'er died in prison, and the other Yan'er disappeared mysteriously.

The fourth aunt saw that there was no big girl around Xia Ruibei to serve, so she proposed to let Xia Ruixi lend Wan'er to Xia Ruibei for a while, and when she found a suitable girl, she asked Wan'er to go back.

As soon as Wan'er heard the news, she hid in the house alone and wept. Everyone remembers that Xia Ruibei once proposed to Xia Ruixi to exchange Yan'er for Wan'er, thinking that in this way, Xia Ruibei would definitely be very happy, and she would not let Wan'er go.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Ruibei refused without hesitation, on the grounds that Xia Ruixi needed someone to serve her more than her, so let Mrs. Fourth Aunt assign her an older girl with neat hands and feet at will.

A crisis has passed, but before the Xia family has had time to catch their breath, new problems have arisen one after another. 2k reading web
