No one expected that the Marquis of Jinxiang would secretly come over and listen carefully. At this moment, the old father's love for licking calves was overflowing, and everyone present sighed sadly when they heard it.

A family member brought in a chair smartly. After Jinxianghou's mood stabilized a little, Jia Xuan and the steward helped him to sit down.

It was already afternoon when everyone from Jingzhao Mansion came. At this moment, it is past the time to go down, and every family has to start preparing dinner.

The officials then took their leave, promising to come back tomorrow to continue the investigation. After all, the real murderer has not been found, so he asked when it was appropriate for Jin Xianghou to come over.

Jinxiang Hou said: "You can do it at any time." As long as I can wash away my son's grievances, I can do it at any time. His voice was still hoarse.

The official dressed in an emu supplement uniform said: "Tomorrow we will talk to Dali Temple about this matter, and see whether this case will continue to be handled in Jingzhao Mansion or transferred to Dali Temple." It's about the Hou Mansion, and we don't dare to be careless. Hou Ye, you see, is it appropriate to stay in Dali Temple, or is it appropriate to stay in Jingzhao Mansion? ”

The Marquis of Jinxiang was accustomed to dealing with officials and knew the meaning of his words, so he immediately said earnestly: "In my opinion, it is naturally your Jingzhao Mansion that is the most appropriate. Although Dali Temple is like a god in judging the case, today thanks to all of you, Xiao'er has gotten rid of the notoriety of murder. I still trust you more. ”

He glanced backwards as he spoke.

A steward who had been following him for many years stepped forward and quietly gave each of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion a purse. After giving, he wanted to turn back, but was glared at by the Marquis of Jinxiang, and suddenly realized that he had stuffed the old man in the past.

The purse is heavy, and there is obviously a lot of silver in it. The emu supplement was very proud, and said with a smile: "We should help each other and live up to the trust of the Hou Ye." After that, he and his colleagues said goodbye and left.

The old man felt that the silver was like a hot potato, and turned his head to see that the little girl and the Hou Ye both nodded to him and signaled that he had taken it, and then stuffed it into the innermost layer of his clothes, and after thanking him for his kindness, he hurriedly trotted out.

When there was no one around, the Marquis of Jinxiang suddenly got up and looked solemn and bowed deeply to Jia Xuan.

Jia Xuan was surprised and hurriedly returned the courtesy, and stepped forward to help him: "Master Hou, what are you doing?" It scared me so much suddenly. ”

"I thank you for all you have done for us and for my son today." Jinxianghou patted her on the shoulder and said lovingly: "You always help us, and a thousand words can't tell the slightest bit of gratitude in my heart." No matter how big the gift is, I can't express my gratitude. ”

Jia Xuan smiled: "You are too polite. It's all my own family, and when I come in the future, you can prepare me some more delicious food and drink, and I will be satisfied. ”

"You kid is the truth." Jin Xianghou said with a sigh. I also secretly thought that if Sister Xuan needed help in the future, he would have to help him to the end.

When Mrs. Jinxiang learned all this, she also cried bitterly.

The old couple sincerely asked Jia Xuan to stay at home for a few more days.

"I shouldn't have bothered you, but in this situation, only you can help us preside over the overall situation and see how this case progresses." Mrs. Jinxianghou said earnestly and apologetically: "Your uncle is not a good person, and your aunt has a soft personality, and I can't find anyone who can talk to me in the huge mansion." ”

Hong Wenchang's two sons, Hong Yi and Hong Ming, were sent to General Feng's mansion to live temporarily.

Just like when Hong Shuren was sick at that time, her daughter Feng Zifen was sent to the Marquis of Jinxiang's mansion. During this time, Hong Wenchang acted too deviantly, and Lord Hou, Mrs. Hou and his wife all felt that it would be inappropriate for the children to live in the mansion, so they sent them to live at their aunt's and uncle's house.

The Hou Ye and his wife and the Shizi husband and wife have separate courtyards, and Jia Xuan comes to the Hou Mansion on weekdays, and he mostly interacts with them, and does not deal with others in the mansion very much.

As for the children and descendants of Hou Ye's concubine, as well as Hong Wenchang's concubines and concubines, they are not on the side of the main courtyard.

It is precisely because of the large number of people in the Hou Mansion that this has led to gossip and its ease of spreading everywhere, which made Hong Wenchang's reputation fall very quickly.

What Mrs. Jinxiang Hou said was true. She and the concubines of the Hou Ye, as well as the concubines of the prince, are only polite on the surface, and rarely really talk to each other. And Hong Wenchang's wife Liang was in a very bad mood during this time and rarely went out of the room. She knew that her daughter-in-law was under a lot of pressure, so she didn't bother Liang. In this way, there is really no one to talk to.

Jia Xuan was also worried about the situation here, so he responded to it.

In the evening, the Hou Ye and his wife got together again.

Since the incident with their son, the two began to blame each other involuntarily. He said that she didn't teach her son well, and she said that those things outside were all handled by men, and it was obvious that he didn't care about his son and didn't discipline him seriously.

The couple with a good relationship have spent decades together peacefully, but recently they have become sharp and centrifugal because of their son's outrageous behavior, and subconsciously want to escape from sadness, and prick their faults at each other and push them on each other like sharp thorns.

Although the case is still inconclusive today, Sister Xuan has given them hope and made them feel reliable and reassured. And the previous quarrel due to the disagreement over the report was also resolved by Sister Xuan. The couple re-examined their mistakes and sat down together for a meal in a good voice.

Jia Xuan ate at the same table with them, and everyone talked and laughed after the meal, but they were also happy.

Night.

Jia Xuan arrived in the guest room specially arranged for her, and was about to close the door and sit and practice. Unexpectedly, the whispers of the night watchmen came from under the porch outside. The volume is not very loud, but it is not small, enough for her to listen to it word for word.

"Is she really going to make it up?"

"Eighty percent. Burned like that, I've been talking nonsense for a day, and I can't see tonight. ”

"I don't know where the rats that came out were so vicious, and after gnawing off a few pieces of human flesh, they couldn't be saved. The sores and pus, tsk, really disgusting dead people. ”

The door slammed open.

A few people chatting under the corridor were startled and stunned on the spot.

They are just third-class little maids, and they are not noticed on weekdays. It just so happened that the masters were in a bad mood recently, and the housekeeper and the housekeeper's mother only cared about the masters but lacked control over them. During this time, they have forgotten many of the rules of being subordinates, and they have begun to talk freely when the door of the guest room is closed.

Who would have thought that the five girls of the Jia family would not care about their faces, and they didn't pretend not to hear when they were guests here, so they opened the door and questioned them so loudly.

For a while, the little maid was all bluffed, and she was busy apologizing.

Jia Xuan didn't bother to care about these rules at the moment, and asked directly: "Who is the dying person who was gnawed flesh in your mouth?" Take me over and see it. ”
