When Jia Xuan came to the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion, the mansion was quiet. It's the kind of eerie silence that has no fireworks, and I can see the occasional person passing by, but I can't even hear the slightest movement when I light my steps.

"What's going on?" Jia Xuan got out of the car, stopped a family member next to him and asked.

The family was startled when he heard the sound, and when he raised his eyes to see that it was Miss Xuan, Fang saluted with a sigh of relief: "The girl doesn't know, the Hou Ye and Mrs. had another quarrel this morning, and when they heard the sound, they were angry, and no one dared to provoke the master's bad luck." He also said, "I hope the girl will persuade her more." My aunt and grandmother came yesterday and was angry to go back, and now I have to worry about the girl's persuasion. ”

My aunt and grandmother are talking about Hong Shuren, the wife of General Feng Tang. Hong Shuren is gentle and can be angry, which shows that the Hou Ye and his wife are really arguing.

Jia Xuan got on the sedan chair and entered the inner house. Go straight to Madame Hou's courtyard. When the maids and women who were waiting saw that it was her, they all smiled and greeted her in a low voice.

Mother Zhu personally came out and lifted the curtain for her, and whispered: "Madame is lying inside, I heard that you are coming and getting up." I hope the girl will wait a while. ”

Jia Xuan sat in the bright room, and when he ate a cup of tea, Mrs. Jinxiang Hou came out. She wore an autumn-scented peony ruyi pattern collar gown today, and wiped her forehead with a crow-blue cloud goose pattern, her expression was tired, but her eyes were clear.

Seeing Jia Xuan, she was overjoyed, and her eyes moistened: "Good boy, it's really hard for you to make this trip." ”

Jia Xuan hurriedly got up and went over to help her sit down with Zhu's mother: "Where are you, it's all your own family, you don't have to be so polite." ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou clasped her hand. In just a few days, Mrs. Hou's palms, which were originally as smooth as a young man, have become thin and shriveled, and the back of her hands is also loose, showing her old state.

"Kid, you know what my son is doing." Mrs. Jinxiang Hou sobbed and said, "But I think that no matter how bad my son is, he will never kill anyone." And his husband and wife are harmonious, and he won't do that or that bad thing. That little guy's death must have nothing to do with my son! ”

Mother Zhu handed over a handkerchief and stuffed it into Mrs. Hou's hand. Mrs. Hou hid her face and wept silently.

Jia Xuan said: "The prince is really a rare gentle person, and I don't believe that he would do these things." Rest easy, things will always fall into place. ”

In fact, the masters of the Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang are gentle and elegant, and they are very easy to get along with. Don't say that it is Mrs. Hou, the prince and the married Hong Shuren, that is, the Hou Ye and the princess, as well as the children of the prince, are also excellent people.

It was because he heard that Master Hou and Mrs. Hou had quarreled like that yesterday, and Jia Xuan felt even more frightened.

Mrs. Marquis of Jinxiang calmed down slightly, pinched her handkerchief and said angrily: "You don't know how annoying Master Hou is to talk and do things. When he saw that someone was dead, he even said that he wanted my son to confess this evil deed, and said that if my son did not admit it, let him die with his life! ”

Jia Xuan was secretly shocked. I also felt that the Marquis of Jinxiang was not completely indiscriminate, so he looked up at Mother Zhu who was standing next to him.

Mother Zhu explained: "Master Hou thinks that eighty percent of this matter was done by the prince of the world. Shi Ziye said that he didn't remember, Hou Ye was extremely angry, saying that all kinds of things that Shi Ziye had done recently, gambling and going into the dark smoke field, showed that he was hopeless, and saying that he didn't remember was clearly a prevarication. He also said that since the man died, paying more money was secondary, and the most important thing was that the prince kowtowed to that family and confessed his mistakes. Madame refused, saying that since the prince didn't remember, maybe he hadn't done it. The two argued, so Mrs. Hou said to report to the official and let the government judge, she firmly believed that the prince had not done such a thing. Hou Ye said that if he reported to the official, Shi Ziye's idea was about to spread all over the capital, and the Hou Mansion would definitely lose face. The two of them became more and more noisy. ”

Jia Xuan felt that these words were the facts of the truth. If you spread it, it will change slightly after one turn or two.

Seeing that Mrs. Hou cried even more sadly after listening to Zhu's mother's memories, Jia Xuan persuaded: "You don't have to be angry with Master Hou. As the head of the family, he must have considered differently than those of us who were in the house. Think about it, if there is really a wicked person secretly attacking the prince, wouldn't it make the wicked even more happy if you husband and wife were separated? This is the case of the so-called relatives and enemies. ”

After Mrs. Jinxiang heard this, her crying gradually stopped, and her eyes were stunned with moisture.

Jia Xuan continued: "Master Hou's considerations also have his reasons. Think about it, the Hou Ye is not only guarding the prince, but this big family. Not only to ensure the safety of the family, but also to take care of the emperor's attitude. ”

Mrs. Jinxiang Hou suddenly said "ah": "Your Majesty? ”

"yes." Jia Xuan said: "The prince's actions during this period of time must have been spread all over the world, and the emperor must have heard about it." Even if the emperor doesn't mention it, even the gentlemen of other ministers' families may not know what they have said outside. Under such pressure, Hou Ye naturally didn't want to involve the government and make more trouble. ”

Mrs. Hou nodded: "I haven't thought about these for him." couldn't help but take the girl's hand: "You say, then why don't we report to the official and settle the knot in private?" ”

"It can't be said that you have to settle it privately, and you may need to report to the government." Jia Xuan said: "You might as well let me see the condition of the corpse, and then I will help you come up with ideas and decide what to do." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Jinxianghou didn't have any ideas now, and suddenly felt that Sister Xuan was here, so she had the backbone, and hurriedly ordered: "You take Sister Xuan to see that person." He also told his mother: "You accompany Sister Xuan all the way, and you must not let her be scared." "The corpse was so pickled that it couldn't stain the child's eyes.

Zhu mother's voice answered again and again and accompanied Jia Xuan to the outer courtyard.

The little servant was placed on top of a coffin, resting in a secluded corner of the outer courtyard. The Marquis of Jin Xiang specially sent more than a dozen cronies to guard there, and did not allow idle people to approach.

After Jia Xuan learned this detail, his heart moved, and he suddenly felt that Hou Ye was just a hard mouth.

It's just a corpse, who would approach it without anything? It's too late to shy away. Hou Ye arranged it this way, just to prevent someone from doing anything on the corpse.

Deep down, he actually has some thoughts with anticipation and hope. For example, I hope that this thing was not actually done by the son. Another example is to hope that the son of the world is not bad to the roots.

This made Jia Xuan breathe a sigh of relief. She walked over to the corpse and said to the guards: "Show me his rotten wounds." ”

Miss Xuan often comes to the mansion as a guest, and everyone in the mansion knows her. What's more, the people guarding here are all Hou Ye's cronies, so they naturally know who she is.

When they heard this, they were shocked: "How can the girl come to see that kind of dirty place?" "It's not that I can't believe Miss Xuan, but that the rotten place is in a special location, and it's really hard to show her.
