Chapter 37: A Farce

Xie Nan must have gotten up from the bed and rushed to the Liuguang Courtyard, his hair had been untied, and he was casually tied behind his head, wearing only a homely dark blue robe, revealing the warmth of a middle-aged man who had gone through the world, and he deserved the words "long body and jade standing". Supporting Xie Nan on his side is a bright and radiant woman, no more than thirty years old, with a graceful waist and a bright skin, standing with Xie Nan is a talented woman, a pair of wonderful people.

Chi Tao leaned on the window and looked carefully, and he already understood Xie Yao's intentions, and he had a plan in his heart.

She quickly lay down on Mrs. Shi's bed, took off her shoes and kicked them under the bed, and pulled the quilt over her face against the wall to cover her head.

Outside, Aunt Lin saw Mrs. Shi walking out alone, and there was not even a maid behind her, she was happy in her heart, behind her was the mother-in-law who had always been powerful, and Aunt Lin whispered: "Presumably the adulterer is still inside." But it was louder.

Xie Nantie's face was blue: "Say what, be louder!" ”

The mother-in-law was frightened, and Aunt Lin said in a trembling voice: "The slave is not sensible, he talks nonsense casually, don't take it seriously!" It's all a misunderstanding, how could Madame ....... besides, Childe can't do such a thing!"

Mrs. Shi tightened her cloak: "What is my sister talking about, why can't I understand it?" ”

Aunt Lin gritted her teeth, looked at Mrs. Shi with a pair of beautiful eyes, and almost burst into tears: "The master has already slept, but I don't know if someone is chewing the root of his tongue outside, and he said...... said that the son took a man into the Liuguang Courtyard and entered the lady's inner room, and he never came out...... My sister really can't persuade me......"

The courtyard and the courtyard were full of people, and they all bowed their heads when they heard the words, pretending not to hear.

There was another commotion outside the courtyard, and someone rushed in: "The old lady is here!"

It was Xie Nan's mother, Mrs. Niu, who came, and several maids helped her to come in panting, and before she could speak, Aunt Lin pounced: "Auntie, why are you here?" Then he scolded his subordinates: "Who allowed you to frighten the old lady?" ”

Niu Shi stared at Mrs. Shi like a poisonous snake: "If I don't come, I don't know that such a scandal happened to our Xie family!" I want to see if the young lady of the Marquis Mansion of Ningyuan does this, what face does she have to stay in my Xie family! She looked at Xie Nan, "In that case, what are you going to do with it?" ”

Xie Nan's anger had soared to the highest value: "Naturally, she is going back to her Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and it has nothing to do with my Xie family!"

When Mrs. Shi saw that everyone was already gathered, she glanced at Hongyu, stepped out of the way, and said, "Mother has also arrived, and she must have calculated everything." ”

Aunt Lin had a sudden snort in her heart, and after thinking about it, she hinted through her on the way here that Xie Nan had also arranged people behind the Liuguang Courtyard, and if anyone wanted to slip away, they couldn't. Therefore, he settled down and followed Xie Nan and Niu into the inner room.

I saw a high fever of red candles in the inner room, the bed curtain was half-hidden, and the shadow on the bed seemed to be asleep.

Xie Nan trembled with anger, pointed to the bed and shouted, "This, what is this!" ”

Others didn't dare to speak, and Aunt Lin exclaimed: "How can there be such a filthy thing!" ”

Lu Qiao helped Mrs. Shi into the inner room, and was angry when she heard the words: "What filth? Before she asked, Aunt Lin was going to convict our wife? My aunt has a poisonous mind, and she coaxes our lady and sister to be long and sister short, but today she is trumpeting the ....... between Mrs. and others, "In the end, it is a little girl, but the word adultery is unspeakable, "Ruining Mrs.'s reputation is ruining the reputation of the Xie family, what kind of heart do you have?!" ”

Aunt Lin seemed to have stabilized her mind, and her face was righteous: "If something like this happens, do you still want to stay in the Xie family?" Not to mention the reputation of the girl in the family, does the master still have the face to be an official in the imperial court?" She saw that Xie Nan was so angry, so she walked up in three steps and lifted the quilt.

Chi Tao sat up in a daze, rubbing his eyes: "What's the matter......" Seeing many people in the house, he couldn't help but be startled, quickly got out of bed, ran to Mrs. Shi barefoot, and took Mrs. Shi's hand: "Madam, this is ...... Why are there so many of them?"

A room full of people looked at each other and were speechless.

But there is no need to ask, it is a person who can see that this is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

Chi Tao shrank behind Mrs. Shi, only showing one head to look at everyone, and wanted to cry: "Madam feels sorry for me and let me sleep on the bed, this ...... Is this also sinful? ”

Aunt Lin steadied her mind: "This is strange, why did my sister let a little maid sleep on the bed?" ”

Lu Qiao grabbed Bai and said: "I just said that our lady is a filthy person, and at this time she will become a sister again?" Aunt Lin is so good at changing her face! ”

Mrs. Shi said in a deep voice: "It's just that this child is exactly fourteen years old, and it happens to be the sixteenth born in the winter moon of the tenth year of Shunjing, and was born in the same year, month, and day as my poor daughter. She stroked Chi Momo's face, "I think if she were still alive, she would be the same size as this child......."

Xie Nan coughed: "That can't mess up the dignity and humility." ”

Aunt Lin knelt down and wanted to cry: "Sister, it's all my fault, I can't control my subordinates from chewing the root of their tongues, which caused the master to misunderstand my sister." You want to be punished, and my sister has no complaints....."

Niu Shi glared: "How can this be Wanyan's fault?" Since there was a misunderstanding, it's just a matter of solving it. Saying that he didn't wait for anyone to speak, he went out with his maid Hulala again, and the people brought by Aunt Lin saw that the situation was not good, so they all retreated, and also closed the door of the house intimately.

Only Mrs. Shi, Xie Nan, Aunt Lin, Hongyu and Chi Tao were left in the house.

"If it's all right, Madame will rest early."

Mrs. Shi smiled, paced to the middle hall and sat down: "I rested early, but someone didn't let me sleep peacefully." ”

Xie Nan was a little angry again, he saw that Aunt Lin was still kneeling on the ground and hiding her face and weeping, so he pulled it up: "In the end, you don't distinguish between dignity and inferiority here, how can you blame others?" ”

Mrs. Shi looked at Xie Nan, and her heart ached.

Seeing this, Chi Tao had already seen that Lu Qiao was very spicy, and at this time he should go outside to control his subordinates and find the traitor, while Hongyu was gentle and kind, careful and considerate. These two people are both Mrs. Shi's henchmen, but at this time, they need a subordinate who can cry and make trouble.

She threw herself at Mrs. Shi's feet and cried, "Madame, is she so angry that her heart hurts again?" In the past, Aunt Lin's name was Please An, but she actually came to demonstrate, and you put up with it yourself. Today, when you suffer such a great shame, you don't speak, and you silently endure the pain in your heart?"

Mrs. Shi was stunned for a moment, looked down and saw that Chi Tao was crying and screaming, and the tears fell down in strings, but she frowned slightly, kept blinking her eyes, and immediately understood, only lowered her head and frowned, covering her chest and not speaking.

Chi Tao looked back at Aunt Lin hatefully: "Aunt said it nicely, but I don't believe it!" The old man has obviously fallen asleep, and there are several doors inside and outside, how loud can the sound reach the master's ears? Besides, the old man is not an ignorant woman and child, if no one fanned the flames, how could he be so disrespectful and make such a fuss! Spread it out tomorrow, others may not be able to tell how to laugh at the master! How many faces did you let the lord go to court? ”

Xie Nan looked at Aunt Lin's gaze again, and he was a little cold.

Aunt Lin was really a little flustered at this time, knelt down and pulled Xie Nan's sleeve: "Cousin, it's really not a tactful...... You also know that the few people in charge around me are close to me, and they have no scruples about talking on weekdays. I guess I didn't know that you were here, so I talked casually......"

"It's so close to Aunt Lin, it's because I'm close to you that I can splash the dirty water of Mrs. Zhengfang with red lips and white teeth!" Chi Tao kept in mind the principle of killing everything, and he must help Mrs. Shi bite Aunt Lin today.

Xie Nan waved his sleeves: "It's true that your majesty is not strict, the people in your house have changed, and no one is allowed to chew the root of the tongue." Madame will do this. As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Shi, but he didn't say anything, and raised his feet.

"Cousin, cousin." Aunt Lin hurriedly got up, chased a few steps, remembered that Mrs. Shi was still behind, and quickly turned around to hide her resentment, crying: "Sister, it's really not me......

Mrs. Shi watched coldly for a long time, Hongyu even poured a cup of warm tea, Mrs. Shi took it and took a sip slowly, then stood up and went back to the inner room.

Aunt Lin was stunned, revealing a resentful gaze, just when Lu Qiao came in, she sneered when she saw this: "Auntie lost her wife and broke her soldiers today, and the people you planted in our Durian Courtyard were also found out." Presumably you spent a lot of money to buy Mrs. Wang, right? I heard that her son is outside, and he can even afford to go to the Qinglou! ”

Aunt Lin was so angry that her face turned red and white for a while, but she remembered that the people in her courtyard were also going to be dismissed....... she had worked hard for many years, and her heart was so distressed that she stomped her foot and went to chase Xie Nan.

Lu Qiao entered the house and whispered to Mrs. Shi, "I have already tied people up." ”

Mrs. Shi nodded: "Send it to Zhuangzi tomorrow." ”

Lu Qiao was a little resentful: "She has been feeding her son for a few days, she is old, how much news she sold to Aunt Lin, and now she is letting go of ...... gently."

"Sent to my mother's Zhuangzi." Mrs. Shi didn't raise her eyelids, "Someone over there will know what to do." ”

Lu Qiao was overjoyed and went out to make arrangements.

Mrs. Shi sat in front of the bed, sent away the red jade, and Wen Yan said to Chi Tao: "Good boy, thank you for today." ”

Chi Tao helped Mrs. Shi untie her coat and said with a smile: "Gongzi Xie is kind to me, bringing my whole family to the capital, a little favor, not enough to worry about." ”

Mrs. Shi shook her head: "Without you, this thing can't be done." They saw that Yuanting brought you in, so they dared to make such a big fuss with the intention of hitting with one blow. There was a moment of sadness in her eyes.

Chi Tao saw it in his eyes, but it was inconvenient to say anything more, so he only smiled: "It's late, I have to enter the palace tomorrow, Madame, let's rest." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the maids came in to serve Mrs. Shi to wash and change clothes, Mrs. Shi took Chi Tao to breakfast, and a maid came in and replied: "Madam, the car is ready." ”

The two got into the car at the corner gate, Chi Tao is not a person who talks much, and is worried about the task of entering the palace, Mrs. Shi slept late last night, and she was closing her eyes all the way, and the car was quiet for a while.

The carriage stopped all the way to Yong'an Gate, and the little chamberlain caught up and said with a smile: "Madam is here." ”
