Chapter 48: Reputation is ruined
As soon as the guests heard that the Criminal Department was investigating the Zhu family, the eyes of the Zhu family were even more wrong.
"Could it be, the matter of the Zhu family really has something to do with Mrs. Xia, right?"
"The Criminal Department is investigating the affairs of the Zhu family, which is enough to show that Mrs. Xia has a problem. Perhaps, this is the reason why she has stayed in the courtyard for more than ten years and has not gone out. ”
The Zhu family really didn't expect this person to say such a thing in public, let alone that the matter of the Criminal Department's investigation of the Zhu family had already spread widely.
She endured the slightest hint of panic, and said calmly: "The criminal department is only investigating, and there is no conclusive evidence, how can it be said that my mother's family is related to me?" You're hilarious. ”
It's all to blame Xia Xuesong and Xia Qingli for two lowly things, one forced her to come to this banquet, and the other deliberately held such a banquet.
The chubby lady knows the character of the Zhu family too well, thinking that when they were still girls, she suffered a lot in the hands of the Zhu family, and was often troubled by the Zhu family, saying that she bullied the Zhu family.
She no longer talked to the Zhu family, but instead told the guests about the Zhu family's past: "I have to remind you, be careful of the Zhu family, but don't be deceived by her face." ”
She sneered, "Thinking about the past, she relied on the Zhu family to pamper her, and she can play tricks, but she has not harmed those young ladies who are better than her." As far as I know, many young ladies have been ruined by her reputation or innocence, either committed suicide or were sent to the nunnery by their families, and none of them ended well......"
She talked about the things and gossip related to the Zhu family in the past, focusing on why the Zhu family dragged on until nineteen to suddenly marry Xia Xuesong, and how she looked down on people arrogantly back then.
There were also several ladies who were not on the same page as the Zhu family to add there, and Xia Qingli, Aunt Wan and the guests had different thoughts.
Xia Qingli was happy to watch a good show, and she also sorted out a lot of useful information from what these ladies said. For example, the person Zhu wanted to marry was a member of the royal family, and he still failed to marry the other party after spending a lot of effort and thought on this.
It is said that the Zhu family also changed people in the middle, but the result was still not as expected, and he dragged himself to nineteen before suddenly marrying Xia Xuesong.
So, who are these two people that the Zhu family wants to marry?
These ladies don't know which two people the Zhu family wants to marry, they only know that the other party is a high-ranking and powerful person in the royal family.
"That's right," the chubby lady remembered something, and said to the ladies, "Do you remember that the Zhu family has been away from home for a year or two?" What the Zhu family said to the outside world was that the Zhu family was unwell and needed to recuperate, and was sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs. ”
As soon as she said this, the ladies all remembered it.
"Yes, yes, yes! There is such a thing. At that time, I was still wondering, why did the Zhu family suddenly fall ill when they were fine before, this is obviously a problem. ”
"I inquired at the time, and Zhu was not sick at all, I don't know where he went. I guess it has something to do with the fact that she changed the person she wanted to marry. Perhaps, she took the initiative to climb the bed and failed, and she carried it in her stomach, so she had no choice but to say that she would recuperate. ”
The chubby lady nodded again and again: "I guessed the same at the time." You know that Mrs. Xia and I are not on the right track, so I checked this matter. Guess what I found? ”
"Enough!" The Zhu family couldn't bear it any longer, and his face was filled with anger: "Unfounded rumors, so many years have passed, but you took them out to humiliate me in public, are you bullying my Xia family?" ”
"Madame, don't say that," Aunt Wan looked anxious and worried, and sighed: "If the master learns that Madame has angered all the ladies, he will be very angry." ”
Her eyebrows and eyes were full of schadenfreude smiles, and her heart was very happy. Looking at Zhu's embarrassed appearance, she was relieved just by looking at it.
Thinking about all these years, the Zhu family has relied on the favor of the master, occupied everything that should have belonged to her, and made her suffer so much humiliation, she can't wait to kill the Zhu family.
When Zhu heard this, he was about to slap her: "There is no place for you to talk to a concubine here!" ”
However, Xia Qingli grabbed his hand: "Zhu, did you make a mistake?" This banquet is hosted by Aunt Wan, what are you crazy about here? ”
"Haven't you forgotten that Madame has always been like this." Aunt Wan took the opportunity to make trouble: "I think that over the years, Mrs. has ignored the lord and the eldest lady, but she has cared for the previous house doctor, and even would rather see the house doctor than the lord and the eldest lady." ”
Xia Qingli glanced at her lightly, and didn't mind her making trouble: "Speaking of which, it was the doctor who gave you a few children and made Xia Xuesong cut off his children and grandchildren." ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Wan almost couldn't hold back her hatred, she sobbed: "Yes." The strangest thing is that the doctor of Nafu did not say who instructed him to prescribe the medicine. ”
"It doesn't matter if the concubine is given the medicine of the child, but the master is the head of the family, and he wants to inherit the incense for the whole family. However...... Alas! The old man was given a child-killing drug more than ten years ago, so except for the eldest lady and the second miss, he can't have any more children. ”
Xia Qingli nodded: "Xia Xuesong has invited many doctors to see it, and his disease really can't be cured." ”
The conversation between the two made the guests look at Zhu with the eyes of evil spirits: "It's terrible!" Zhu's family, she is really a beast! If she doesn't want to marry Xia Xuesong, she won't marry, but she gave him the medicine so viciously. ”
"Nonsense!" Zhu scolded angrily: "Qingli, I know that I have only cared about worshipping the Buddha and neglected you all these years, but you can't treat me like this, I am also your mother." ”
Xia Qingli looked disgusted, and she sneered: "Zhu, what qualifications do you have to be called a mother?" As we all know, I have lived a life worse than death in the Xia family over the years, have you ever asked? ”
"Also, when Xia Xuesong wanted to calculate that I marry Gu Xi, you arranged for someone to give me to a subordinate of the Gu family, and now you have the face to tell me this? Do you think that I will not say these things in public for the sake of face? ”
The guests were stunned: "Oh my God! Is Zhu still a mother? She calculated that Xia Qingli would marry Gu Xi, I can understand it, but she is so vicious, she wants to calculate that her only child will marry the Gu family's descendants. ”
The strange, spitting, and disgusting eyes of the guests made Zhu, who had been honored for decades, feel embarrassed and humiliated. Damn little slut, dare to calculate her like this, she will never let her have a good time.
"Qingli, there is a misunderstanding in this." Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at Xia Qingli with tears in her eyes.
Xia Qingli was so disgusted that goosebumps rose, and she rubbed her arms: "I'm not a man, your trick is useless to me." If you don't admit it again, then I'll have to smash all the human and physical evidence in your face. ”
Zhu was really afraid that she had conclusive evidence, her face turned white and black, and she was speechless.
Her appearance made the guests still have something to understand, and they disliked her even more.
"Miss Xia is really pitiful, with such a selfish and vicious mother."
"I have to keep my relatives and friends away from the Xia family, especially Mrs. Xia, otherwise I don't know how she will calculate."
Xia Qingli became more and more satisfied with today's banquet, she saw that Zhu's eyes were gloomy, and said with a smile: "Zhu, why don't you tell everyone why you want to stay in the so-called Buddhist hall for more than ten years, and you don't want to see Xia Xuesong." ”
"I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'll go first." Zhu made an excuse to leave.
But was stopped by Xia Qingli: "I see that you have a ruddy complexion and excellent spirits, not like you are uncomfortable." ”
"Miss, why don't you go and ask the doctor to come as a concubine?" Aunt Wan seemed to be concerned and said: "I just don't know if this new house doctor has anything to do with Mrs., after all, the last house doctor held Mrs. in the palm of his hand...... Yes! ”
Zhu slapped her hard, venting all his anger on her: "Aunt Wan, you are a concubine, and you often treat me disrespectfully, do you think I won't clean you up?" ”
Aunt Wan knelt on the ground when she heard this, covering her face and crying: "Madam, the concubine never dares to be disrespectful to you, and the concubine is also telling the truth." If the lady doesn't like to hear the truth, then the concubine will not tell the truth again in the future. ”
After those things just now, all the guests had great opinions about Zhu. Now, she looks like this again, which makes her bad reputation even worse.
"Yo yo yo, Mrs. Xia is so big." The chubby lady pursed her lips: "Although you should teach the concubine a lesson, how can Aunt Wan be disrespectful to you?" It's you, who deliberately vented your anger on Aunt Wan. ”
"You can see what kind of person you are."
Zhu almost didn't mention it in one breath, if it wasn't for the slut who snatched her sweetheart, she wouldn't have suffered these sins and humiliations at all now.
She looked at Xia Qingli with a dark look in her eyes, she would let Xia Qingli and her mother die badly.
"I'll teach the concubine a lesson, but it's not your turn to talk nonsense!" She angrily scolded the chubby lady.
Mrs. Wei Fat spread her hands: "It's not my turn to make irresponsible remarks." That is, your most cherished reputation and good face are now completely lost. What's more, if you offend us, then Xia Cedar's life will not be easy. ”
"Xia Xuesong's life is not good, do you think your life will be good?"
She had waited too long for this day, and now she was finally able to trample the slut Zhu under her feet.
Zhu Shi thought of Xia Xuesong's explanation to her, and his expression stiffened slightly.
"I think that's all for today's banquet." Xia Qingli smiled crookedly: "If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please forgive me." ”
The guests didn't feel that the hospitality was inadequate at all, on the contrary, they thanked Xia Qingli for the banquet with great interest, and then left in twos and threes.
are all talking about the Zhu family.
Xia Qingli turned his head and looked at Zhu with a smile, with a cold glint in his eyes: "Look at the way you look now, your reputation is ruined, and you are old, which man will want you?" ”
