Xiao Yicheng nodded, and shook his head again and again.

If Jiang Juan really asked something and found something, why didn't he just hand it over?

If he didn't ask anything, didn't find anything, why was Jiang Juan so happy, and said that everything was going well?

Xiao Yicheng glanced at the direction in which Jiang Juan disappeared, and then turned his head to look back at Xu's Peony Courtyard, feeling more and more strange.

He pondered for a moment, but still walked towards the Peony Courtyard.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a broken teacup smashing at him.

Immediately afterwards, it was the voice of Xu's scolding subordinates.

Xiao Yicheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to intercept it, and raised his eyes to look at Xu, "Why is my stepmother so angry?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Yicheng was coming, Xu Shi hurriedly swallowed his grievances and forced himself to calm down: "The second son just came back, don't you go back and have a good rest, what are you doing here?" ”

"When my son returns from a thousand miles, he should come here first to greet his stepmother."

Xiao Yicheng turned his head and glanced at the messy and frightened subordinates, and asked, "I don't know which subordinate was inattentive and made his stepmother so angry?" ”

Xu Shi glanced at Xiao Yicheng, and was even more angry: Apart from Jiang Xuan, who else has this ability?

"It's all useless, don't mention it."

She took a sharp breath and shouted to the subordinates on the side, "What are you doing kneeling here, get out!" ”

Several subordinates looked frightened and left in fear.

Xiao Yicheng saw that her face was still dark, so he brought a cup of tea and said gently: "My stepmother didn't like to be angry before, what's wrong today?" ”

Xu Shi glanced at the tea, and saw Xiao Yicheng's respectful face, and she somehow felt a lot more stable.

She bypassed the tea, sat straight away, and sighed, "Since you are here, then accompany me to talk." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Yicheng silently put down the teacup, sat opposite Xu's, and asked with a smile: "What does my stepmother want to talk about?" ”

Xu looked at Xiao Yicheng and asked, "Let's talk about what is going on between you and Aunt Jiang." ”

"I met her halfway."

Xiao Yicheng replied, "I took a boat back to Beijing, and I encountered a red boat burning on the way, and I found out that Aunt Jiang was among the people who asked for help. ”

"I didn't want to deal with her, but I saw that she knew how to treat and had good medical skills, so I decided to bring her back."

He paused, and then asked softly: "Although she is hateful, she can save people, so I didn't kick her out, and my stepmother won't still be angry about this incident, right?" ”

Xu secretly gritted his teeth, and had already scolded Xiao Yicheng secretly for several rounds in his heart, but he still looked calm on his face.

She said: "Your grandmother's illness can't even be done by the best doctor in the capital, but Aunt Jiang can, so where can I be angry?" ”

"I was emotional just now because she made the old lady sick, I don't believe her, but now, I have seen her medical skills, and I will continue to use her in the future, and I naturally will not speak ill of her."

"As for the scandal on the day of the birthday feast......"

Xu's tone paused, secretly hid his fist in his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "As long as she knows her mistakes and doesn't make mistakes again, then I won't embarrass her, but what the old lady thinks and does when she wakes up, I can't help it." ”

Xiao Yicheng chuckled: "My stepmother is generous and filial, and it is her blessing that the fourth aunt can meet you, the housewife." ”

Xu snorted lightly, "If only she could really think like that." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu's eyes turned again, fell on Xiao Yicheng, and said tentatively: "You said that you saved her, so did you see anything when you saved her?" ”

Xiao Yicheng's heart was also tight, and he asked intently: "What did my stepmother say?" ”

Xu Shi choked, and now I don't know if Xiao Yicheng knows about poisons and medicinal materials, if he accidentally leaks his mouth, he will fall into the net, and the gains outweigh the losses.

She was silent, covered her lips and smiled: "She fell into the red boat, I am worried that she ...... with other men"

Xu wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Yicheng had already guessed that someone would suspect that Jiang Juan had already been insulted and innocent.

He laughed deeply: "When I saw the fourth aunt, she was fully dressed, and there were no scars on her body that had been abused, so she must not have reached the point where my stepmother thought. ”

Xu snorted lightly: "If that's the case, then it's even better." ”

"After the red boat is gone, is anyone still alive?"

Xiao Yicheng replied: "A lot of people died, but they also saved a lot of injured girls, as for the owner of the red boat, ......"

Xu Shi suddenly chuckled, "What's wrong with the owner?" ”

Xiao Yicheng saw that Xu was panicking, his heart was slightly tight, and he stared at Xu and said slowly: "He's dead." ”

It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead.

Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but heard Xiao Yicheng say again: "However, he died later, and before he died, he had spoken a few words to the fourth aunt and gave some things, as for what he said and what he gave, I didn't pay much attention to it." ”

Xiao Yicheng said as he observed Xu's eyes.

I saw that Xu's expression was sometimes nervous, sometimes relaxed, and so on several times, and the calmness in his eyes was no longer as natural as before.

She smiled bitterly: "You kid, don't ask what that person said to her or what he gave?" ”

Xiao Yicheng smiled: "I glanced at it, and saw that what was written on it were all medicinal herbs and recipes, which seemed to be very precious, I didn't understand, so naturally I wouldn't ask more." ”

Hearing this, Xu's face turned pale for a moment.

Medicinal herbs, recipes......

It seems that these things do exist, but why didn't she tell Xiao Yicheng?

Thinking that the entire Hou Mansion did not want to see Jiang Xuan, Xiao Yicheng was even more so, and Xu suddenly persuaded himself again.

Xiao Yicheng saw that she couldn't give up, so he asked, "My stepmother cares about these things very much?" ”

"Don't care!"

Xu Shi took over in a panic, "I, how can I care about her things?" ”

Xiao Yicheng looked at Xu, his mind was slightly sunk.

She panicked and showed her timidity.

Suddenly, Xiao Yicheng's mind echoed with the joy of Jiang Juan's departure, and his eyes were instantly complicated.

He paused, and then asked: "I'm too busy on weekdays, I rarely care about my family, I don't know if there is a deficit in the account in the house?" ”

Xu Shi was stunned by the question, and then said with a smile: "The shop in the house is very good, and the money can't be used up, how can it be empty?" ”

Xiao Yicheng nodded, "That's good, can my stepmother be wronged on weekdays?" ”

Xu Shi was even more confused, "I am very good on weekdays, and I have never been wronged." ”

Xiao Yicheng chuckled: "My father-in-law frequently accepts concubines, especially for the fourth aunt, don't you feel wronged?" ”

Xu Shi was stunned, and this sentence really asked her heart.

She can tolerate Hou Ye taking a concubine, but she can't tolerate that person being Jiang Juan.

"It is very common for men to have three wives and four concubines, how can I feel wronged?"

Her eyebrows condensed slightly, but she still smiled calmly and sighed: "As for the fourth aunt, I just ask her to remember her identity, and don't pester my son anymore." ”

Xiao Yicheng's heart instantly sank.

She didn't feel wronged, she didn't lack silver taels, and she had the power to control the family, but why did she resell the medicinal materials rewarded by the saint?
