embarrassment for man and wife

When Xie Junnan returned to Xie's mansion in a hurry, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie Wu were both "lifted" out by the housekeeper in the hall, but even though they were lifted, Mrs. Xie was still sitting on the chair, probably because someone It was carried out together with the chair, probably because she was forcibly invited out. Mrs. Xie's face was obviously unhappy, and even the gloom in her eyes could hardly be concealed, while Xie Wushi sat on the side, The white cloth band wrapped around her head was particularly conspicuous. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she was full of grievances and had nowhere to say.

Those who were invited here were not only Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie Wu, but also Mrs. Xie Shumin and Mrs. Xie Wen from the fourth room. Only the people from the fifth room were not here, and the fifth room had long since disappeared. , only one son, Xie Shuyu, who was frail and sickly, stayed in the yard all year round and didn't come out easily.The rest of the young ladies and young masters gathered around the outside of the hall, all looking like they wanted to come in but didn't dare to come in, until they saw Xie Junnan's striding figure approaching, they turned into a flock of birds and dispersed.

Entering the hall, Xie Junnan didn't look sideways, and went directly to the old matriarch to salute.

The old matriarch nodded and asked him just now: "How is Zhuohua?".

Xie Junnan frowned slightly, and said: "After I went back yesterday, I had a high fever, and until today, it was half past eight o'clock, and I just woke up."

The old lady frowned immediately: "Is it serious?".

Xie Junnan sighed softly: "Wan Tuxiu has sent people out of the city overnight to invite Han Su. Han Su is Wan Tuxiu's younger brother who specializes in medical skills. Even His Royal Highness is full of praise for his medical skills. If he can be invited as soon as possible, It should be fine if you think about it.”

The old lady nodded, lowered her eyes, only looking at the string of beads she had been holding in her hand.

It was a string of beads made of emeralds, the color was translucent and crystal clear, and the red lace on the top made the string of beads even more luxurious and delicate. The old lady seldom took out this thing in her spare time. Unless she is thinking about something in her heart and needs to think carefully, she will hold this thing in her hand and move it carefully.

After Xie Chen came in, she never said a word. Hearing about the high fever, she couldn't help but tighten her eyebrows: "Have a high fever? He is... but he has postpartum cold syndrome?".

Xie Junnan frowned even tighter, but didn't answer.

Xie Wenshi frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "Will it be so serious? Isn't the second sister-in-law trying to scare people?".

Xie Chen immediately looked at Xie Wen coldly.

Although Xie Shumin usually messed around a bit, but now he also understood that this situation was not right, so he did not speak rationally, and only glared at his daughter-in-law, then Xie Wenshi murmured and fell silent.

The old matriarch's eyes swept over everyone, and when she opened her mouth, her voice became much colder: "Come on, if you have anything to say, let's make it clear today." She pointed to Xie Junnan: "Silang, tell me, What happened yesterday, how could it force Zhuohua to escape from the house in the rain? Your uncle and your father's verbal swords made me feel dazed."

It's not that I was confused, but the old lady deliberately wanted to be confused.

The butler stood aside and lowered his head secretly. He swore that the moment the old matriarch entered the door, he really simplified everything to the old matriarch. Now that the old matriarch wants to pretend, he has no choice but to Following along, the moment the butler lowered his head, he just avoided Xie Xun's cold eyes shooting at him.

Xie Jun made a bow to the old matriarch of Nanchao, and then he opened his mouth unhurriedly: "Grandma, Zhou Kang returned to Yaolu a few days ago, and he is not at the house these days, and these days, Zhuohua has a bad appetite because of the moon. , I went to Zhou Kang’s medicinal reed yesterday, and asked Zhou Kang for a prescription for nourishing and seasoning medicinal food. I never thought about it. Before I left the medicinal reed, Wang Dong hurried over to look for me and said thank you Qingyue for your kindness. Xie Qifeng took his grandmother to Fengya Garden aggressively, and even entered the room directly. I was afraid that something would happen in Fengya Garden, so I hurried back. I never thought that even if I came back, it would still be a step too late , the Fengya Garden was beaten up, and the ground was in a mess, but Zhuohua was nowhere to be seen! After asking the servants, I found out that the grandmother listened to Huang Nanny's shout and called all the servants in the mansion to Fengya Garden, and Zhuohua had no choice but to escape from the mansion under the protection of Zhuqing in order to protect himself!".

The old matriarch's brows turned cold when he heard it, and the usual kind eyes suddenly flashed a bit of gloom, sweeping past Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie Wu like a flash in the pan.

Xie Junnan took a deep breath, and said: "It's not that Zhuohua was forced to leave the mansion. What's hateful is that grandma obviously came prepared for this attack. Not only did she have someone forcefully send Yu Ye away, but she also It was people who used incense on the guards of my Fengya Garden. Such a low-level method obviously would not stop until Zhuohua was killed. Shiro was furious, so he drove Xie Qingyue and Xie Qifeng out of the mansion, and Huang Mammy was executed with a cane on the spot in public!".

The old matriarch raised her eyelids: "Listen to you, you keep calling them both by their first names, these two sisters, don't you want to recognize them?" The cold voice sounded like he was questioning, vaguely A sign of anger.

Xie Miao, Xie Chenshi and the others couldn't help but feel suspended in their hearts, and each of them looked at Xie Junnan with different expressions.

Xie Junnan's brows were furrowed tightly, and the expression on his face became even more sullen: "How dare I admit it?" Xie Junnan gritted his teeth: "I respect them both as my elder sisters, but how can I dare to admit them because of their actions? Grandma, they even used incense on Zhuohua. This time they used the incense on the bodyguards. What about next time? Next time, if they use the incense on me, or use On Zhuohua's body, wouldn't Zhuohua and I become lambs waiting to be slaughtered?!"

"Silang!" Xie Xun said in a cold voice, "The matter of incense has nothing to do with Qingyue and the others! The incense was originally made by Mother Zhao, and you didn't even investigate the truth, so you planted such a crime on the two of them." On the head! Both of them are women and your sister! How could they do such a thing!".

Xie Junnan ignored him and didn't look at him, as if this person didn't exist at all.

Mrs. Xie rested her chin with one hand, her expression was restless, as if she hadn't recovered from yesterday's incident.

Xie Wushi was touching her tears at first, but when she heard Xie Xun's words, she suddenly stood up and knelt down towards the old matriarch: "Grandmother, you have to make decisions for Qingyue and the others! Both of them are grandmothers. You watched them grow up, and you know exactly what kind of temperament they are. If they are spoiled, it can be trusted, but it can be said that the two of them can do this kind of thing, but they absolutely can't, even if they really accompanied each other yesterday. She took her mother to the Fengya Garden, but that didn't mean that the two of them made the incense, and Shiro didn't know what to do, but she also kicked Qingyue and the others out of the house, Shiro was going to force her to death They..."

The old lady frowned slightly: "You get up first to speak, and why don't you kneel down at every turn?".

Xie Wu's expression cracked slightly, and then he rubbed the corners of his eyes and stood up slowly.

The old lady turned her head and looked directly at Mrs. Xie: "What's the matter? Are you still dizzy?".

Mrs. Xie was startled, and raised her eyes to look at the old matriarch.

The old lady looked as usual, but frowned slightly: "Tell me, what happened to you yesterday."

Mrs. Xie sighed: "Mother, I was also very angry yesterday. Shiro and Zhuohua deceived everyone by pretending to be married, and they didn't know how to repent. How can I not be angry? It's just that I didn't expect this Zhuohua to have such a big temper. He dared to contradict me openly, and even indulged the slaves around him to rebel against me. It's really rampant. Mother Huang was also afraid that the slave would treat me Unfavorable, that's why all the guards in the mansion were called over, but I didn't expect..." Thinking of Huang Nanny's death, Mrs. Xie's voice choked up: "Si Lang actually ordered Huang Nanny to be killed on the spot , Even my grandmother is not in the eyes."

The old matriarch listened and nodded: "So, you attacked Zhuohua because you knew about the fake marriage between Shiro and Zhuohua? Then how did you know about it?".

"This is Zhuo Hua's brother-in-law, who said it himself in public," Xie Wu said, "When he said this, my two siblings and I were there, and we all heard it with our own ears, and Shiro didn't deny it at the time." ah".

"Well, that's why...you are embarrassing a child of Zhuohua just because of this." The old lady's voice...was obviously calm and abnormal, but it made everyone in the hall feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Xie Miao and Xie Jiang secretly looked at each other without speaking, Xie Shuyu and Xie Wenshi also lowered their heads, trying to minimize their existence, but their eyes rolled around, as if they were thinking about something.

The old matriarch's eyes jumped over everyone, and finally looked directly at Xie Xun: "What do you think about this matter?".

What does this mean?

Xie Xun was slightly taken aback, but looking directly at the old matriarch's deep but vaguely sharp eyes, Xie Xun didn't know why, and his heart suddenly jumped.

Seeing that he was silent, the old matriarch asked again: "Silang imprisoned the eldest aunt, ignored the grandmother, and kicked the two sisters out of the house. All these things, how do you think we should deal with them?".

"Zu——!" Xie Jiang was startled, and almost blurted out, but when he opened his mouth, Xie Lanshi hastily pulled him back.

Xie Miao and Xie Chenshi glanced at each other, both of them looked very gloomy, as if unyielding, but Xie Miao frowned, pursed his lips and did not speak, Xie Chenshi also put his five fingers in his sleeves tightly He pinched into a ball, trying to calm himself down.

The old matriarch's question was clearly from the standpoint of Xie Xun and Mrs. Xie. Xie Wu felt a little relieved when he heard it. After thinking about it carefully, he also felt that the old matriarch's position was taken for granted. After all, Xie Junnan All kinds of things were rebellious yesterday, but Xie Xun was stunned by the old lady's question. For some reason, he subconsciously held his breath, moved his fingertips, and only raised his hand towards the old lady. Bowing: "This matter is up to the mistress to decide."

"Hmm..." The old matriarch nodded leisurely, although she looked at Xie Junnan, but she said in a calm voice: "Then, let Shiro handle this matter."

When Xie Wushi heard this, he was still a little unresponsive at first, but when he came back to his senses, he was startled suddenly, opened his eyes wide, and looked up at the old lady in disbelief.

Xie Xun was also instantly frozen, and looked at the old lady with a slightly surprised face.

"Mother? What are you?" Mrs. Xie was stunned for a moment, but just now she came back to her senses but still asked unwillingly: "Si Lang is disobedient and unfilial, he deceived everyone...won't you deal with him?!".

The old matriarch was not in a hurry or angry, but narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Mrs. Xie: "How can you deceive me about Shiro and Zhuohua?".

"He is married to Zhuohua!" Mrs. Xie was very excited, staring at the old lady: "He is married to Zhuohua! He even deceived us all about the heir! Don't tell me you don't hold him accountable, mother?" !".

"Fake marriage?" The old matriarch asked coldly: "Send someone out to inquire about the marriage between Shiro and Zhuohua. No one in the capital knows about it? What's more, this marriage was witnessed by several princes. Zhuohua It was the King of Chess, the Second Prince and others who personally sent him to the mansion, how could this marriage be faked?".

Who dares to say that the marriage witnessed by several princes is not true?

Mrs. Xie was at a loss for words for a while, she was stunned and didn't know how to argue.After being stunned for a moment, Mrs. Xie couldn't be reconciled: "What about Zhuohua's pregnancy? How could he lose a few months old child in a body that had just had a miscarriage? Isn't this a lie? ? Their heirs are acting so irrelevant, does the mother have to protect them?".

"Maintenance?" The old lady squinted her eyes immediately: "Do you mean that I favor them!?".

Of course favoritism!

This is something everyone knows, but no one dares to contradict it outright.

Seeing that Mrs. Xie just pursed her lips but could not speak, the old matriarch looked at Xie Wushi, Xie Xun and the others again: "Do you also think I am partial to Shiro and Zhuohua?".

Everyone in the hall, no one dared to respond.

The old matriarch sneered again: "Since you all think so, then I will be partial to the end! Housekeeper! Destroy Mrs. Wu back to Bitao Courtyard, do not allow or come out!".

"grandmother!".

"Mother!".

Xie Xun and Mrs. Xie were shocked at the same time.

Xie Xun, on the other hand, seemed to be pinned down, only staring at the old lady with wide eyes in disbelief.

The old matriarch ignored them, and only looked at Mrs. Xie again in a blink of an eye: "Send the old lady back to Qiufengyuan, when will she wake up, and when will she come out! As for the two girls, it will be up to Shiro. He said that in the future, he will not be allowed to enter the gate of Xie's mansion again, so as not to teach the other brothers and sisters in the mansion to be ruined!".

The butler responded, and just as he was about to call someone to come forward, Xie Xun bent his knees and knelt heavily towards the old lady: "Grandmother, calm down! Grandmother admits everything, but I beg grandma to forgive me, so that my mother will not be punished." !" The old matriarch's voice was firm and powerful, leaving Xie Xun unable to refute, so he could only change his angle and accept the punishment, in order to reduce the old matriarch's anger and minimize the deterioration of the situation.

The old lady took a deep breath and looked at him: "Boss, your father doesn't care about things now, you are now the head of the Xie family, but how can you be so foolish in doing things! And you!" The old lady directly Looking at Mrs. Xie: "You were also a vigorous and resolute person back then. Why are you so impatient when you are old? As soon as the two maids provoked you, you just followed the snake and entangled you? Not to mention the relationship between Zhuohua and Shiro. Is it a fake marriage! Just because Zhuohua entered the gate of my Xie Mansion that day, several princes personally accompanied him to send him in! No matter what his identity is, whether he is wrong or not, you should not make things difficult for him like this! Now But you forced Zhuo Hua to escape from the mansion. You are planning to tell the people outside that the princes are blind and unkind to others, and you mistakenly believe that Zhuo Hua still wants to slap the princes in the face! Don’t take the princes seriously. !Even the people they sent in together can be dealt with by you at will!!!".

Mrs. Madam's words...

It was really sensational, and instantly shocked Xie Xun, Xie Wushi and Mrs. Xie on the spot.

It's just a matter of the back house, how come several princes are involved?

But if you think about it carefully, it's not unreasonable.

On the day Zhuohua and Xie Junnan got married, it was true that several princes came in together with the guard of honor to welcome the bride. This incident was witnessed by many court officials...

Mrs. Xie was stunned immediately, unable to think of anything else to say.

The old matriarch didn't wait for them to come back to his senses, and turned his head to look at Xie Wushi: "As for the two girls Qingyue Qifeng! It's because I grew up watching them that I can believe that such things may not be true. I can’t do it! I even used things like incense! It can be seen what I have learned from Wu’s on weekdays! It is also said that the incense is Zhao’s own idea! Without Wu’s permission, Zhao’s mother would dare Are you going to get this dirty thing into the mansion? Qingyue Qifeng has such a means, and you, the mother, are also to blame!".

In a passage, the old lady spoke with full of air and force, not at all like a nearly hundred-year-old old man.

Xie Wu's face was pale by the words of the old matriarch, as if the old matriarch had the eyes of heaven to see all the details of the incident, which made Xie Wu's face even more pale when he was wrapped in a cloth belt, and murmured Lips, suddenly speechless.

The atmosphere in the hall was as if frost had condensed, and everyone held their breath, for fear that making a little noise would set them on fire.

Taking a deep breath, the old matriarch looked at Xie Xun again: "Boss, I watched you grow up, what's in your heart, let alone perfect, I can still see it Come out, in the past you could do everything properly, and I don't need to worry about you, but this time in the house, you really let me down. Qingyue and Qifeng are already married. The transfer is going to move to the capital, and they won't come back, but it's only been a long time since they came back, and they made such a noise. Can't you see if someone is instigating them behind it? For no reason, where are these two girls coming from? How dare you take your mother straight to Fengyaju? You don’t even care about the defense of men and women. It can be seen that there is something on your mind. You think you have a chance to win, so you are so unscrupulous that you don’t even care about the future. Such thoughts, such Ruthless, you said, if you let them come back, wouldn’t you teach the other brothers and sisters badly?”.

The words of the old lady are already obvious.

Xie Qingyue and Xie Qifeng were instigated to provoke Mrs. Xie, and Xie Wu was the only one who instigated them, but...

Pursing his lips, Xie Xun knelt on the ground with his head bowed, his fingers tightly clenched under his sleeves, his whole arm was trembling slightly.

The old matriarch took a deep breath, and looked at everyone again: "I know, because there is news in the palace today that the emperor intends to enshrine the position of Duke in Xie's mansion, so some of you can't bear your temper." , but today, I will put these words here, the Xie Mansion will not want this position of duke of the country, if any of you want this hereditary title, you should use your own skills to get it back , instead of making these messy things here!".

With one sentence, he slapped Xie Xun fiercely in the face again.

Looking at the entire Xie Manor, the only chance to be established as Duke, besides Xie Miao and Xie Qi is Xie Junnan, and Xie Qi is Xie Xun's son, so naturally he will not compete with his father for anything, so the person who competes , there are only Xie Xun and Xie Junnan. At this time, the old matriarch said this bluntly, telling everyone that their eldest wife is peeping at the hereditary title of the hairpin tassel, so they will treat Feng Yaju. Xie Junnan pursued and beat him so hard.

Kneeling on the ground, Xie Xun was breathing heavily, his chest was heaving a little bit, obviously nothing happened, but he only felt a burning pain in his cheek.

When the old matriarch gets angry, even the old lady Xie has to be afraid. At this moment, she is like a shrimp with soft feet, just sitting on the chair, unable to speak, her messy mind is always only the old matriarch. said those words.

Xie Wushi was stunned in place, as if he had been frozen and dared not speak.

Xie Xun took a few breaths and breaths repeatedly, and then kowtowed to the old matriarch: "Grandmother taught me a lesson... grandson, I know I was wrong!" He didn't dare to refute, for fear that refusing would cause even bigger disturbances. .

At this point, things seem to be over, but...

Xie Jiang suddenly strode forward, and also knelt down towards Xie Xun: "Grandmother! My grandson has been wronged! I beg my grandmother to avenge me!".

The old lady immediately turned to look at him.

Xie Jiang seemed to be going all out, with red eyes, he pointed at Xie Wu: "Wu took advantage of my status to make things difficult for Siyuan when I was not in the house! It made Siyuan lose his baby! It doesn't count, she is still in Siyuan. When I was confinement, I made many troubles and damaged Siyuan's body! I deprived Siyuan and I of the right to be parents! I beg my grandmother to make decisions for me! Redress my grievances!".

As soon as a report was made, the atmosphere in the hall sank again, falling straight into the ice cellar.
