Chapter Seventy-One: A Strange Rule
Steward Yu nodded, accentuating the meaning of his words.
After a long time, Xia Zhengshen closed his chin and swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "This, this ......"
He really didn't know what to say.
How did this unfortunate thing happen to him? Who would have thought that a woman who sat in such two inconspicuous carriages, dressed no different from ordinary women, would be a marquise?
Now that she has offended the famous old lady Xuanping Hou in Linjiang City, and said that her daughter has a mad demon, can he, Renhetang, still be able to open?
Xia Zhengshen only felt that there was a swarm of bees "buzzing" on his head, and his mind was blank.
Xia Jin, Xuan Ping, and the old lady and Luo Qian didn't go in for a long time, and they came out after only a while. The emotions of the three of them are very calm, but there are differences in the calm: Xia Jin is confident and relaxed, Xuan Pinghou is old lady is suspicious and expectant, but Luo Qian's eyes are getting deeper and deeper, and he can't see what he is thinking in his heart.
"Please also ask Brother Xia to prescribe medicine." Mrs. Xuanping made a gesture of "please".
The subordinates of Xuanping Houfu are extremely clever. The mother-in-law immediately lifted the table and chairs from the ground, found a rag from nowhere, wiped them clean, and the other mother-in-law had already found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, spread it on the table, and then they all retreated.
Xia Jin didn't say much, walked over and wrote a prescription, and handed it to Xia Zhengshen: "After grabbing the medicine, you go and fry it yourself." As she spoke, her eyes swept towards Xia Chan.
Xia Chan felt her gaze. A look of indignation immediately appeared on his face.
No matter how foolish he is, he also knows that at this time, it is about whether the family medicine hall can be opened again, how can he make trouble at such a time?
I knew the identity of Mrs. Xuanpinghou. Where does Xia Zhengshen dare to slack off in the slightest? He put aside the dispute with Sanfang, carefully grabbed the medicine, and personally fried it by the stove, poured it out and brought it to Xia Jin.
Although Xia Zhengshen didn't dare to do anything, and the mother-in-law of Xuanping Houfu had been following him to monitor, but for the sake of safety, Xia Jin still sniffed the medicine carefully. found that there was nothing wrong, so he handed it to a mother-in-law.
But Mrs. Hanlin was not obedient. only shouted that the medicine was poisonous, but Xuan Ping waited for the old lady to come out and coaxed her to drink the medicine.
Everyone stared at Mrs. Hanlin, and she was still a little irritated when she drank the medicine. turned his gaze to Xia Jin again.
Xia Jin looked calm.
After a while, she walked up to Mrs. Hanlin, bent down slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Wang, I heard that your son died?" ”
Mrs. Wang's body was shocked, she raised her head, and stared at Xia Jin deadly, as if she wanted to swallow her alive. It's scary.
But then, her tears flowed down her wide open eyes. She lowered her eyelids. Covering his mouth with a handkerchief, he began to cry "whining", and the cry was even more sad than before. And among the crowd of the onlookers was the soft-hearted woman, who heard the cry. I couldn't help but red-eyed with it.
Xia Jin looked at her, still calm. After a while. She whispered again: "Your son, was you killed?" ”
This sentence, she said very slowly and clearly, even if her voice was low, Xia Zhengshen, Tan Langzhong, Xia Chan and others who were standing close also heard it.
Xia Zhengshen was suddenly frightened, and he raised his foot to pull Xia Jin over and scolded her. But as soon as his body moved, he was held up by a thick arm next to him, making him unable to move.
He turned his head and saw a man beside him who was extremely strong and tall, and his big bronze bell-like eyes showed a fierce light, and he was forced to swallow back the question he was about to export.
"It's none of your business, stay honest." The man's urn sounded and the urn aired.
This man is none other than Luo Qian's coachman Huzi.
Xia Zheng glanced around, and saw that the eyes of the others were on Xia Jin and Mrs. Wang, only Luo Qian's eyes were on him, and the eyes cast over were full of warnings.
His heart froze, and he was suddenly silent, not daring to make the slightest movement.
And over there, Mrs. Wang listened to Xia Jin's words, her teary eyes had been replaced by shock, her eyes were wide open, her lips were half open and she looked at Xia Jin, she even forgot to shed tears, only a tear hung quietly on her cheeks.
Xia Jin was still not finished, and continued to repeat to Mrs. Wang: "Let me ask you, did your son be killed by you?" ”
This time, Mrs. Wang seemed to have reacted, her eyebrows were upside down, her beautiful eyes were full of anger, and she shouted at Xia Jin: "What did you say? There's a kind of you say again! ”
Xia Jin sneered, stared at her and said, "Isn't it? Do you dare to say that you didn't kill your son? Aunt Chen obviously saw you playing by the lake with your son, but then you didn't stand firm on your feet, slipped a little, and pushed your son into the lake with a belt in your hand. ”
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Wang really deserves to be the biological daughter of Xuan Pinghou and his wife, and as soon as she was emotional, she wanted to solve the problem by force, and stretched out her hand to slap Xia Jin. didn't want Xia Jin to deviate her head, so she let her take a shot.
The person in front of her was talking nonsense, and the slap in the face even made her avoid it, and Mrs. Wang was furious. She pointed to the servant woman standing next to her, and said angrily, "What are you still standing for? Won't you take this thing down for me? ”
Those servant women had already quietly received the order of Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and only lowered their heads and stood there indifferently, as if they had not heard Mrs. Wang's words.
Mrs. Wang was even more angry now, and she was about to scold when she slapped the table.
But before she could open her mouth, Xia Jin came over again without fear of death, bent down, looked at her tightly and said, "Aunt Chen told your lord this, your lord is angry, I really want to give you a break." Your father and mother pulled down their faces for your sake, and pleaded with him bitterly, and sent him to kneel, and he gave up. However, he proposed to let you go back to your parents' house to recuperate, and you were not allowed to step into the Wang family again.
The current Wang Hanlin family is headed by Aunt Chen. Your main house, she moved in yesterday. Sleeping on the carved big bed you married, wearing your newly made peony entwined red skirt, and wearing the pearl-saving white jade peony that your lord bought for you on his head. I heard ......"
Speaking of this, there was a hint of schadenfreude on her face: "Aunt Chen, she is also pregnant with a child." Wang Hanlin also plans to wait for her to give birth to a son, and then he will inherit it under your name and bear the name of his son-in-law. In the future, he inherited the Wang family's family business, and the family of three was happy......"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang screamed, covered her ears and shouted, "Don't say it again, don't say it again......"
With red eyes, she pounced on Xia Jin, waved her fist and beckoned to Xia Jin's head, and said in her mouth: "I'll kill you, kill you, and call you nonsense!" How could my son have been killed by me? He went to play by the lake, and I wasn't around at all, how could I watch him struggle in the water without jumping down to save him? How can it be? How can it be? Woowoo woo ......"
She burst into tears, and scolded again: "My lord has always been very good to me, and he allowed that slut to enter the door, but my mother-in-law forced him to do so, for the sake of the heirs of the Wang family." Woo, if my son hadn't died, how could she have gotten in? How can you get in the door, woo woo woo ......"
Xia Jin didn't fight back, only dodged left and right. However, in order to make Mrs. Xuanping Hou apologize, she still asked Mrs. Wang to scratch her hair and tear her clothes crookedly, making herself look embarrassed, and in that mouth, she still didn't give up, and continued to provoke Mrs. Wang's emotions: "How is it impossible? You are not by his side, and as soon as Aunt Chen's pillow is blown by the wind, he naturally believes everything. Now, he hates you, you are the murderer of his son. He shouted that he was going to divorce you......"
"You talk nonsense, nonsense, I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it, I love my son so much, I can't wait to die on his behalf......" Mrs. Wang was completely out of control by her words, and in the end she was crying and couldn't help herself.
"How nonsense? A woman like you, who killed her own son, should be divorced. It's just that your son is so tired that he died, and the old father and mother still have to make amends to the Wang family with a shy face, and they are pointed at in the capital...... "Xia Jin is still not afraid of death, so he turned his head and continued.
"Ahhh......h
When Mrs. Xuanping Hou saw her daughter like this, her heart ached like a knife. But thinking about what Xia Jin just said, he had to endure it, turned his head to the side, bit his lip, and stopped looking at them.
"Ahh Suddenly, the onlookers exclaimed in low voices.
And the servant woman in Xuanping's waiting house over there also shouted repeatedly: "Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Gu ......"
Old lady Xuanping turned her head to see that her daughter had fallen to the ground softly, apparently fainting.
And that Xia Zhengshen was so frightened by this scene that his heart and lungs trembled, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Brother Qi, what do you want to do?" "I can't wait to cut this troubled nephew with a thousand knives.
Xia Jin didn't even give him an eye. stepped forward to take the pulse for Mrs. Wang, straightened up, and nodded slightly towards Mrs. Xuanpinghou.
The old lady Xuanping Hou breathed a big sigh of relief, and felt that her legs were weak.
Since beating her grandson to fall into the water and die, no one in the Wang family or the Sun family dared to talk about this topic in front of Mrs. Wang, for fear of making her sad. Now, the little brother of the Xia family is blunt about this, and wrongfully said that the child's death is her responsibility, and mentioned that her husband who is deeply in love with her will change his mind and change his favor to Aunt Chen, who she regards as a thorn in her side, how can this not make her sad and angry to the extreme, as for going crazy and fainting?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xuanping couldn't help but cry, her poor daughter was miserable......
"Old lady, old lady......" In a trance, she suddenly heard a call, the voice was hurried but she didn't dare to make it loud. (To be continued)
