Chapter 174: Protecting His Wife
Xie Shi was determined that Luo's would not do anything to her, but he didn't expect Luo's to punish her in public.
When she got out of Luo'an Hall, Xie's face was even more ugly than a dead man, and the maid who followed her was also angry for her master: "The second lady has always been the best person, but today it is difficult for you in public, and the slave and maid look at her is pampered and proud, but she just slept with her yesterday." ”
Xie Shi snorted coldly, turned his head and asked, "Have you heard the news?" Why did the general suddenly stay with her yesterday? ”
The maid lowered her head and replied with a pout: "The maidservant girl wanted to inquire last night, but the people on the other side of the main courtyard had tight mouths, and the slave and maid only faintly heard that after dinner yesterday, it seemed that the kitchen was ordered to boil sobering soup." ”
"It's not that the general was drunk last night." Xie Shi looked disdainful and said coldly: "I didn't expect that this Luo family would actually use methods in order to compete for favor, but I underestimated her in the past." ”
The maidservant girl echoed: "The second lady is already a person who has been demoted once, where will the heart be as simple as before, according to the slave maid, she can give Mrs. a horse today, that is, she will guard against Mrs. you." ”
Xie Shi sighed heavily when he heard this, and complained: "I only hate the general for being too ruthless, and now he demotes me to a concubine for no reason in order to promote Na Luo's family, and he doesn't even have some comforting actions." ”
The master and servant were talking here, and they saw Sima Zhengren returning from duty from a distance.
Xie Shi rolled her eyes, and immediately thought about it, she showed a sad look on her face, and secretly wiped her tears while facing her husband.
Seeing her crying, Sima Zhengren stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
As soon as Sima Zhengren asked, Xie's tears fell even more violently, and she choked up and replied: "Today at my mother's place, the concubine's words are not very offensive to my sister, and my sister actually didn't care about the sisterhood of so many years, and punished the concubine in front of everyone. ”
There are many women in Sima Zhengren's backyard, but Luo's has always been gentle and virtuous, and over the years, Sima Zhengren has never seen her punish other women.
He listened to Xie Shi's words and wondered, "Are you serious?" ”
Seeing that Sima Zhengren was concerned, Xie Shi hurriedly added fuel and vinegar and said: "What the concubine said is true, the concubine and her sister are in Luo'an Hall to ask her mother for peace, and the concubine is just because she didn't see her sister over this morning, so she asked with concern, who knew that my sister was suddenly angry, and she punished the concubine without asking." ”
Xie Shi made a pitiful appearance, and cried and cried: "Who in the mansion doesn't know that my sister is the best person, but she is biased towards the concubine, which shows that my sister is prejudiced against the concubine. ”
When Sima Zhengren heard this, instead of getting angry, he laughed, and said to himself: "This Jiajia, I really underestimated her, I didn't expect her to have such a side, heh!" ”
In addition to the words, instead of blaming Luo's meaning, listening to the tone, it seemed that he was proud of Luo's actions.
Xie Shi looked at her husband fixedly, a little incredulous for a while.
This man is cold by nature, he will only weigh the pros and cons in his heart, but he can't do anything to pamper a woman and ignore his interests.
Xie's eyes rolled slightly, then he knelt on the ground again, pulled Sima Zhengren's shirt and cried: "The concubine has a son and a daughter for the general, and there is no merit and hard work. ”
She didn't believe that Sima Zhengren could break with her Xie clan in order to protect the Luo clan.
Sima Zhengren glanced at Xie Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, he smashed his mouth, and then said in a deep voice: "Luo's is my wife, you are just a concubine, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, that is, she punishes you, and you only have the truth to endure it for life, what kind of system do you become when you cry and make trouble like this." ”
A person like Sima Zhengren naturally would not break with the Xie family because of the trivial matters in the back house, after all, although the Sima family is now in power, it is inseparable from the support of those big families, but let him damage his wife for the sake of a concubine, he can't do it categorically.
So he didn't pay attention to Xie's coercion at all, and only suppressed her with respect and inferiority.
"General." Luo Shi didn't expect Sima Zhengren to come to this hand, she raised her head in surprise and looked at her husband with an unwilling face.
Sima Zhengren is not a patient person, he didn't wait for Luo Shi to speak again, so he interrupted coldly: "You don't have to say more, you offended Madame today, just go back to your own room and reflect." ”
With that, he strode towards the main courtyard of the Luo clan without looking back.
Luo's as the mother of Xiyuan, her ears and eyes are naturally bright, and every word that Xie said to Sima Zhengren before Sima Zhengren came to the main courtyard, someone had already truthfully passed it to Luo's Tong.
Although her husband is not intimate, he has always respected her as a wife, and Luo believes that he will definitely not be able to do anything to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, not to mention that Xie is not a favorite concubine, so Luo is not worried that Sima Zhengren will be embarrassed by her.
She was just worried that the Xie family would make a big fuss because of this, affecting the relationship between the Sima family and the Xie family.
She is the head of the Sima Mansion, so she naturally has to consider the future of the Mansion.
Luo Shi listened to the servant's reply, and was thinking about this in his heart, so Sima Zhengren raised his legs and entered the house.
Before Luo's voice could speak, Sima Zhengren said, as usual, "Order them to set the meal, I'm hungry." ”
Luo Shi hurriedly told the servants to go to the kitchen to check whether the meal was ready, and took the outer hat taken off by her husband with her own hands, and took the initiative to mention the reason for sending the Xie family today: "The Xie family is the first gate in the world, and it is very helpful to my Sima family, so I have always treated the Xie family with tolerance, but she was really unstable when she spoke to her mother today, so I punished her." ”
Saying that, she said with a little worry: "I heard that she just asked the general for a leave of absence because of this, if she makes trouble, will it affect our relationship with the Xie family." ”
Sima Zhengren waved his hand when he heard this: "A little Xie clan, what kind of storm can be set off, just let her make trouble, if she really dares to make trouble, I have my own way to repair her." ”
Hearing her husband say this, Luo Shi breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Then the Empress Dowager Guo has just passed away, and the court is the most unstable time, I don't want to have extraneous branches at this time." ”
"No problem! You're thinking too much. Saying that, Sima Zhengren looked at his wife and asked, "Today, what did the Xie family say to you?" actually provoked you, who have always been good-natured, into public anger. ”
There was a subtle playful smile on his lips, as if he was interested in making his wife change like this.
Luo Shi glanced at her husband secretly: "It's not a good thing to say left and right, why is the general asking this?" ”
As long as he doesn't treat him coldly, his wife looks angry, and Sima Zhengren also sees it very eye-catchingly.
He put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his hand and patted the chair next to him, and said to his wife, "Come here." ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand back from the servant woman in the house, and commanded, "Don't set the table yet." ”
