Chapter 366: Confused Accounts
"Madame, what are you looking for me?"
Ying Jiu was sweating profusely, obviously he hurried here after being notified, looking at Shaohua's indifferent face, as if nothing had happened, which made Ying Jiu even more panicked. For this Governor's wife, no one in the palace must know better than him, the calmer she is, the more angry she is in her heart, if she calls him to scold him a few words, Yingjiu will feel a little better. It's obviously a matter of fire in the belly, don't mess with it in your heart, you don't know how many people will be affected by the outbreak in the next moment.
In normal times, when others say that Yan Kaizhi has an illegitimate child, he will immediately rush up to fight with others, his own master is clean and self-conscious, and even his aunt is unwilling to lift up, where does he have the free time to go outside to mess with flowers and grass. But now that everyone has come to the door, and I heard that Yan Kaizhi's affairs have been said word for word, Yingjiu can't help but wipe his sweat for Yan Kaizhi, and I don't know where he provoked the evil spirit, and the Governor's Mansion, which has finally calmed down in harmony, has to be turned upside down.
The three treasures also got the news and hurried over, but looking at Shaohua's face, none of them dared to speak.
Seeing that Yingjiu was so anxious that he didn't even wipe his sweat, Shaohua spit out faintly: "Yingjiu, someone just came to find the governor, do you know?" β
Yingjiu's figure flashed slightly, and he replied truthfully: "I heard that it is a woman in her thirties with a child, hasn't Mrs. seen it?" β
Shaohua laughed softly, as if he really wanted to tell a story to Ying-jeou, "Not only did I see it, but I also heard an interesting thing, I don't know if you have heard of it." β
"Madame, please."
Where did Ying-jeou dare to refuse, so he had to answer hard.
This woman said that she was the old lover of the governor, and that the governor had abandoned her in the past, leaving her with a secret knot, and now she had come to the door with the child to settle the score. I thought that the governor was clean and self-conscious, without concubines and maids, but I didn't expect it to be raised outside. The voice was light and the tone was pleasant, or if I didn't listen carefully, I would think she was talking about someone else's fiancΓ©. After Shaohua finished speaking, he smiled softly at Yingjiu, laughing at him all over his body, "Chief Yingjiu, do you know about this?" It was the woman who came to accuse the governor for no reason. β
Poor Na Yingjiu didn't know what was going on at all, but he had to veto them all, for fear that if this was really the bloodline of the Yan family, wouldn't he be sorry for the late old man and lady.
He thought about it for a moment and thought that he had taken a step back and chose a safe way. "Madam, Yingjiu can guarantee that the Governor definitely does not have an outer room, but this Fengyue matter ...... I really can't help myself. β
Who knows, Shaohua listened, and slammed his fist on the table, and the jade bracelet hit the mahogany, and its sound was dull and far-reaching, as if it hit the bottom of his heart. The three treasures glanced at Shaohua's cold expression in unison, and couldn't help swallowing their saliva, not daring to make a sound. Yingjiu felt even more sweaty, and only listened to Shaohua's cold sarcastic words: "Hmph, what a body can't help yourself, do you mean that the governor is messing with flowers and grass outside, and you also know about it?" β
When Yingjiu heard this, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately knelt down and raised his head to Shang Shaohua's angry face, "Madame is angry, although the governor has also lingered sometimes, but since Madame entered the door, the governor didn't even look at the maids at home." What's going on with the two nominal aunts of the governor, can you be more unclear than me, madam? Although he follows Yan Kaizhi's side as a long-term follower, more often Yan Kaizhi is special and independent, how can he manage the whereabouts of his master as a subordinate.
"As for this woman of unknown origin, I hope that Madame will give me some time to inquire clearly, and I don't know who deliberately came to blackmail the governor." Seeing that Shaohua's eyes were lowered, as if he was thoughtful, Yingjiu immediately raised his hand and swore with a solemn expression, "I dare to vouch for my own personality, the governor will never do anything to be sorry for Madame, otherwise I will ask Madame to send me out of the house." β
Finally, when the husband and wife were harmonious and the family was united, an unknown so-called old lover suddenly appeared, and there was an illegitimate child, which made Shaohua not shocked.
Even if she believed Yan Kaizhi's character, what the woman said was when she didn't expect it, and listening to her tone, she seemed to know Yan Kaizhi quite well. Although there are many doubts and loopholes, when I think that this child was born to Yan Kaizhi and other women, the anger in my heart immediately stringed.
Ying Jiu knelt for a long time before he heard Shaohua sigh, "Okay, you go and find out." And I have them taken down, and you will arrange a room for them, and no one will be allowed to see them until the governor returns. β
"Don't worry, ma'am."
Ying-jeou was so excited that tears were about to burst out, thinking to himself, he would never let someone who was not indiscriminate come to destroy the relationship between his master and his wife, even if it was, he had to find a possibility for him to come out!
Xia Lianyun, who was brought to the guest room, couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he thought of Shaohua's contemptuous and arrogant eyes. She had heard that Du Du's wife was a lady from a scholarly family, not only full of poetry and books, but also etiquette and temperament were taught by the respected grandmother in the palace, so she thought about it for a long time before deciding to come to see Shaohua. privately thought that even if he couldn't stay in the Governor's Mansion, at least his son could stay here, and with Shaohua's background, he would definitely not bother with a concubine like him, not to mention that she had already given birth to two sons.
But what surprised her was that although Shaohua was everyone's lady, her bearing was never reflected in her husband's emotional life. For Yan Kaizhi, she endured hardships and was wronged, but the only thing she couldn't bear was his half-heartedness and betrayal.
Although Xia Lianyun's identity was not enough to pose a threat to her, it was enough to make her feel disappointed in Yan Kaizhi.
Shubao shook his mother's hand, saw that she was leaning against the window, and did not reply for a long time, so he asked worriedly: "Auntie, do you think the governor will recognize me?" β
Xia Lianyun smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't help but wonder if his sudden appearance was too irrational. She turned her head, looked at her son's face, and comforted her gently: "Silly boy, of course it will, Du Du is a good person, he is the kindest person I have ever met." β
Although Shubao is a child of seven or eight years old, his mind is very innocent, and his speech seems very immature. And because of long-term starvation and cold, in addition to his tall body, the whole person looked very thin, he hung his head gloomily, "Then why did he leave us in the first place, and Daddy, he also ran away from us." β
When Xia Lianyun heard this, he hurriedly covered his son's mouth, carefully looked at the guards outside, lowered his voice, his eyes became sharp, and whispered a warning to his son. "Stop, remember! No matter if anyone asks you, you can't say that you have a father and just say that you only live with your mother. Got it? If Shaohua knew about her marriage, she would not have taken them in anyway, in order to win their sympathy, Xia Lianyun deliberately said that she had never married.
But Shubao innocently asked, "Why?" β
Xia Lianyun hugged her son distressedly, when she came in, she looked at the furnishings in the house, and even the clothes worn by the maid were better than theirs, so how could she be willing to give up. "Silly boy, or do they know that you have a father, the governor won't want you, do you still want to live the hard life of the past?"
Thinking of the days of gnawing grassroots, Shu Bao's face showed fear, and he quickly shook his head: "I don't want to." β
Seeing his son's resolute attitude, Xia Lianyun breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, there is no proof of death now, as long as they bite the bullet in one breath, even if they don't admit it, they will have to give a sum of money to send them away. So the more you delay, the better it will be for them, and admitting it too quickly will only be taken as a liar by them. "That's right, as long as you listen to A-Niang's words, after meeting the governor, you just call him a father."
Shu Bao nodded as if he didn't understand, "I understand." β
Anyway, as long as you admit that you are the son of the governor, you can eat and dress well in the future, and you can be better than the subordinates in the mansion of the big officials in the yali.
"It's really a good child." Xia Lianyun hugged his son into his arms and gently stroked his head, thinking about the next retreat, but he didn't know that his son only thought that he would be the son of the governor and eat a few big white steamed buns for each meal in the future.
And just when the mother and son were thinking about a better life in the future, Yingjiu made a big fuss about their identities. Northern Sichuan is more than half a year away from Pingzhou, even if you hurry up, you still have to find someone and ask one by one. What made him even more troubled was that his own governor had not returned home yet, and based on Xia Lianyun's words alone, he was not sure whether it was true or false.
If it is false, she can accurately say the time when Yan Kaizhi was in Pingzhou, after all, at that time, Jingli thought he was dead.
If it's true, don't say that this kid doesn't see any resemblance to Yan Kaizhi, even if it is, so what, Mrs. Tai is not here, and now the Yan family is in charge of her own wife. Even Xu Xinru couldn't tolerate it at the beginning, and Yingjiu didn't dare to expect Shaohua to have a good endurance for an illegitimate son of unknown origin.
It was not easy to bring Yan Kaizhipan back, and Yingjiu immediately rushed to the gate to stop him, "Dudu, I can bring you back." Big things are wrong! β
Yan Kaizhi's face changed, he grabbed Yingjiu's hand, and asked nervously, "What's the matter, is there something uncomfortable with Madame?" Are you sick, or Jiro? Squishy? "He's only been out of town for five days, so he won't make any more trouble.
Yingjiu shook his head almost away, "It's not, it's not Madame, it's not Erlang, it's not a soft lady." β
Knowing that it was not Shaohua's mother and son who had an accident, Yan Kaizhi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as their mother and son were safe, everything else was a trivial matter, "Then it's not good for you to shout about a big thing." He shook off Yingjiu's hand and hurriedly walked towards Shaohua's courtyard, saying that if he hadn't seen him for a day, he hadn't seen him for several years, and he only had Shaohua's gentle advice before leaving.
Seeing that Yan Kaizhi was about to go in the direction of the inner courtyard, Yingjiu immediately rushed up, blocked in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Dudu, a woman came to you the day before yesterday, saying that she was from Xiangqi, and she was carrying a child, saying that it was your flesh and blood. Madame got angry when she saw it, what can you do about it! β
When Yan Kaizhi heard this, he was stunned in place, his face changed in a moment, and he scolded angrily: "Nonsense, where did I get my flesh and blood!" β
Yingjiu made a bitter face, "We don't believe it either, but I listened to the woman's question, she happened to be the first emperor who died, and you met in Pingzhou that year, and the time of the child, which day it was." I didn't dare to tell my wife, but let me find out. "He pinned his last hope on Yan Kaizhi, as long as he was sure that he didn't, he would have an excuse." Governor, you can figure out whether there is such a thing. β
Who would have thought, Yan Kaizhi frowned and pondered for a while, and gave him an ambiguous answer: "How can I remember this!" "It's been so long, and he can't remember those detailed things.
Ying-jeou patted his forehead and wailed, "That's bad." Yan Kaizhi was also anxious, he was also dizzy by this sudden incident, and he couldn't think of so many things for a while. Ying Jiu thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea: "Governor, no matter what, don't admit it, I'll interrogate and interrogate that woman again." β
Yan Kaizhi sank his face, "Where are they now?" β
Ying-jeou replied: "It's in the house." β
"Well, I'm going to meet them...... Right now! β
