embarrassment for man and wife

Outside the door, the people who came in with Sangji were all elderly. There were two elderly women, wearing neat rough clothes and holding cloth towels on their heads. After entering, their eyes swept over everyone in the room , then quickly lowered his head again, and the other person was an old man in his fifties. The old man trembled slightly, as if he was a little afraid of the frozen atmosphere in the room, and the people who followed these people , but he is a frail young man with a weak figure and looks like a weak willow.

"Shu Yu?"

"Shu Yu?"

"Shu Yu?"

The young man's figure that was completely forward, and his face that was completely exposed, instantly shocked Xie Xun, and Xie Wushi also opened his eyes wide.

Xie Jiang and Xie Lanshi looked at each other, and there was obvious suspicion in each other's eyes.

This Xie Shuyu is the only son of Wufang, but because Wufang is a concubine in the mansion, and he lost his parents when he was young, and he has been sick all the time, so compared to Xie Junnan and Xie Qi, this Xie Shuyu's body is But he is very thin, and looks very weak, but his face is inherited from the old man, and it is also very handsome, but the eyebrows and eyes are soft.In Xie's mansion, Xie Shuyu's sense of existence has always been inferior to other young masters and ladies because of his perennial illness and the need to recuperate, but even so, his whole person feels gentle, humble, and polite.

Going forward, Xie Shuyu bowed to everyone in the room: "Shuyu pays homage to grandma and grandma, and greets all uncles and aunts."

Looking at him, the old matriarch had a gloomy expression, and then he eased a little: "Why are you here? Why don't you put on more clothes, lest you turn around and cough again."

Xie Shuyu bowed to the old matriarch: "Grandma Xie is concerned, her health has improved a lot in the past two days, and she came here because she learned that something happened here today, and I ask grandma to calm down."

"You..." The old matriarch seemed to be a little helpless with him, but there was a bit of pampering in that obviously blame-like tone.

The old lady dotes on all the children of Xie's mansion. No matter how much she dotes on her now, she can't surpass her preference for Xie Junnan. Although Xie Shuyu doesn't have a strong sense of existence, he is well-behaved and sensible, and he is the most worry-free one in the mansion. Therefore, he still has some weight in the heart of the old matriarch, but it's a pity that his body was born weak and sick.

Without squinting, Xie Junnan took a step forward and said, "Grandma, what happened to Third Aunt back then, I didn't just hear people say it out of thin air, but Shuyu told me privately a few days ago."

The old matriarch immediately looked surprised, not to mention her, even Xie Wushi and Xie Xun looked surprised, as if they couldn't believe it at all, how could this bastard with almost zero sense of existence know those things that even Xie Junnan didn't know back then .

For a moment, everyone looked at Xie Shuyu one after another, and Xie Shuyu was not panicked, he just kept his gentle and calm appearance, bowed to the old lady, and said: "A few days ago, the fourth sister-in-law just had an accident. Soon, when I was going to the kitchen to get the medicine, I heard the conversation between the woman in charge and Mother Zhao outside the kitchen. It was all about the murder of the third aunt back then, and the fourth sister-in-law was involved, so I stayed outside the house for a while, only to find out that after the accident with the third aunt, Aunt Zhao bribed the doctor who was seeing the third aunt to hide the truth As for the matter of the third aunt’s childbirth, even the anomaly in the fourth sister-in-law’s meal last time was caused by Madam Zhao instigating the mother-in-law to collude with Madam Cheng and Chef Wang, who is in charge of Fengyaju, so the incident is a matter of human life , grandson told the matter to the fourth brother in private."

Xie Shuyu's words were neither fast nor slow, and his voice was slow and clear, which sounded very comfortable. Although he was weak, he had a unique charm like a breeze, but his words shook Xie Xun's whole body, and also made Xie Wushi wide open. He closed his eyes, trembling his lips, and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense!".

Xie Shuyu turned to look at her, and bowed slightly to her: "Everything Shuyu said is true."

The old matriarch listened, frowning tightly. She didn't seem to hear what Xie Shuyu said, but suddenly asked: "You have always been in poor health, why did you go to the kitchen to get the medicine by yourself? What about the servants serving you?" ? Where did they go?".

Xie Shuyu's eyes flashed, and there was a bit of trouble in his eyes.

Xie Junnan immediately stepped forward and said: "Grandma doesn't know yet, because Shu Yu has been recuperating in the hospital all year round, and because he was born as a concubine, the servants around him are neglecting him, so it is not once or twice that he goes to the kitchen to get medicine in person. ".

The old matriarch immediately slapped the table: "All those who serve the sixth young master will be punished with eighty sticks! After beating, drive them out of the house!".

The butler quickly responded, turned around and went out to give orders.

The old lady turned her head to look at Xie Wushi again, her eyes were so cold to the extreme: "Mister Wu! Over the years, you have been taking care of almost all the big and small things in the mansion! Since when did this mansion appear? This kind of worshiping the high and stepping on the low, and neglecting the master! Although Shu Yu is a concubine! But he is also a decent young master of my Xie Mansion! His parents died early, why can't you, the eldest aunt, pay more attention to his situation! How dare you allow such a slave to bully the master!? No wonder Shu Yu’s body has not recovered for so many years! Are all of them thanks to your housekeeper! ".

Xie Wushi was shocked when she heard this, and when she was about to shout out her wrongdoing, the old lady turned her head and looked at Xie Shuyu fiercely: "You too! The slave beside you is so bold! Why don't you come and report to me?" Others are cruel and merciless, and I can’t see that the children of the concubine are safe, am I the kind of narrow-minded person! Or do you think I am old and confused and can’t control this family let alone you!”.

The old matriarch spoke harshly, with a gloomy expression on his face. He was obviously scolding Xie Shuyu's words, but Xie Shuyu's heart suddenly tensed up. He couldn't speak out for a moment because of the burning heat inside. He just stared at the old lady with slightly red eyes. Taijun look.

After being stunned for a while, Xie Shuyu stiffened and bowed deeply to the old matriarch: "Grandson...don't dare!".

The old matriarch took a deep breath, looked slightly calm, and then looked at the other three: "What's going on with the three of them?".

The man didn't wait for Xie Junnan to speak, his knees softened, and he knelt down with a plop.

"Little woman, Mrs. Zhang".

"Little lady, Min family".

The two of them kowtowed together and saluted the old lady in unison.

The old man also saluted, and replied: "The youngest son's surname is Liu. He used to be a doctor in the hall of Xingyi Hall on Changyang Street in the capital. Now he lives in seclusion in Xiangya Village outside the city. He was found by the fourth young master a few days ago, so he came here to pay his respects. Granny."

The old matriarch cast a glance at Mrs. Wu, seeing Mrs. Wu's face was pale and her eyes were stiff, her brows tightened immediately: "Are you the doctor who treated Mrs. Lan back then?".

"Yes" old doctor Liu bowed his hands, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Although it has been many years, the little old man still remembers what happened back then. When the little old man came to the house for consultation, due to illness The patient had a miscarriage at that time, and a pair of twins flowed out of her womb, so she was deeply impressed, and the mother in the house asked the little old man to keep this secret, saying that she was afraid of irritating the patient, so the little old man never did it back then. Mentioned her miscarriage to the sick.”

Twins!

Xie Lan's whole body froze suddenly, and Xie Jiang also seemed to be frozen.The old lady and Mrs. Xie were even more surprised, as if stunned, as if they had heard something sensational.

Xie Xun knelt aside, he closed his eyes fiercely, and the figure who was kneeling upright suddenly exaggerated a little.

twins...

That is a blessing, a blessing that many people cannot ask for.

There was silence, as if a needle could be heard.

Xie Junnan saw that the old lady seemed to be stunned, he suddenly stepped forward and asked: "After so many years, if you see the person from back then, would you still recognize her?".

This sound finally brought the old lady back to her senses.

Dr. Liu nodded: "This...should be recognizable to some extent, after all, it's been many years, and if you want to fully recognize it..." Doctor Liu wanted to say that this person has changed a lot after so many years. The appearance of the patient, but I can't guarantee that the patient will not change.

Xie Junnan asked again: "Then why don't you take a look, among the people in this hall, is there the patient you treated that year?".

Dr. Liu nodded, raised his head, and took a careful look at the female relatives in the hall, and then his eyes fell on Xie Lanshi: "It seems to be this lady...".

Xie Lan's breathing tightened, and Xie Jiang's five fingers around her shoulders also abruptly withdrew.

Dr. Liu stared at Xie Lanshi carefully for a while, then nodded firmly: "Yes, that's right, it's this lady. The lady's appearance has not changed much from before. I'm sure it's this lady!".

Once the tone is settled, there is no need to look again.

The old matriarch was so angry that his fingertips trembled slightly: "Since you are sure that you are not mistaken! Then you promised to keep this matter a secret back then, but now you say it again! Could it be that you took it?" What a benefit! What kind of conditions did someone else ask you to come to my Xie Mansion today to say such things!".

The old matriarch's words made Xie Miao and Xie Chen's hearts tense suddenly, and they looked at Xie Junnan worriedly, as if the old matriarch was going to be unfavorable to Xie Junnan at this moment, but Xie Junnan looked as usual, as if he didn't I don't understand what the old lady said in her words.

Dr. Liu smiled bitterly, he sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, after seeing this lady for a consultation, I was disturbed and feared that I would be murdered. After I left Xie's mansion, I took my family with me. He left the capital, hid in a small village outside the capital, and only returned to the capital two years ago."

Xie Junnan said: "I had someone check it before. The medicine hall where Dr. Liu lived in the past, there was a big fire shortly after he left the capital. Declare this matter as an accidental escape."

The fire broke out, and it happened that after Dr. Liu visited Xie Lanshi, what exactly was destroyed by the fire, the old lady can understand without thinking too much about it.

When he looked at Xie Wushi again, his eyes were filled with gloom in an instant, as if he had been smeared with poison, which made Xie Wushi's whole body go limp, and he couldn't even kneel down.

Xie Miao cast a glance at the old lady, then looked at the other two old women and asked: "Then what's going on with them?".

Mrs. Zhang kowtowed and replied: "The younger one was originally called Zhang Han, and she and Mrs. Min used to serve in Lu Garden. After the third lady had a miscarriage, the eldest lady sold us all out of the house under an excuse. The younger one and Mrs. Min The Min family escaped from the toothmaid's hand after a narrow escape, and survived to this day."

Lu Garden is the yard of Xie Jiang and his wife. Because many of the plants planted in it are bonsai flowers and plants that Xie Lan likes, Xie Jiang also directly changed the name of the garden to Lu Garden.

Hearing Zhang's words, Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, but looking at Zhang and Min again, Xie Lan couldn't see their young appearance at all, but she still had some points for Zhang Han. Impression, I just remember that this is a well-behaved girl, and she is very close to her dowry maid, but now...

Thinking of the dowry girl, Xie Lan's breath tightened, and she rushed towards her almost instantly: "You are Zhang Han! Then do you know where Zhu Yin is? She, was she given by the toothmaid just like you?" It was taken?".

Zhang's eyes were red, she pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Min took a breath, but kowtowed deeply to Mrs. Xie Lan: "Ma'am, Zhuyin was beaten to death by Mother Zhao as early as that year, and she still went to the mass grave...".

Xie Lan's face turned pale suddenly, as if she was stunned for an instant, she just opened her eyes wide and looked at the two in disbelief, her lips parted slightly, but she was speechless.

Zhang's eyes were completely soaked, she knelt and took two steps back, and kowtowed deeply to Xie Lan: "Madam, after your miscarriage, the little one was originally taking care of you in the room, but in the yard outside, the bamboo grove Suddenly there was an argument with Zhao Nanny, and all the servants in the garden could hear clearly that you bled so much and became unconscious because of miscarriage, but Zhao Nanny asked Dr. Liu to keep this matter a secret, Zhu Yin was so angry that she yelled about this matter, but she was dragged out by Zhao Mama and beaten to death with sticks, and later... Later, even we were sold out of the house... ".

The only place where the servants who were sold out was the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, because there were not a few people who were sold out at that time, and the Zhang family and the Min family had always been relatively docile, so they could only go when they were about to be sent out. At the pier, take the opportunity to escape.

Recalling the past, Min's eyes were also flushed: "After Zhang Han and I fled, the eldest lady still refused to let us go, and sent people to look for our whereabouts, forcing Zhang Han and I to hide in the countryside. , This saved our lives. For so many years, we didn't even dare to go back home. We were afraid of causing trouble to our family, so we kept hiding outside. If the fourth young master didn't find us personally, we... wouldn't dare to come back... ".

The old lady looked at Xie Junnan in a blink of an eye, seeming to be full of doubts.

Xie Junnan didn't wait for the old matriarch to speak, and said: "Grandma, in fact, after Zhuohua's meal was tampered with, I have been paying attention to the movements in the mansion. I got contacts and went to thoroughly investigate these past events. The Second Highness and the First Highness knew that I was investigating some old events, so they also helped, so I was able to find them in such a short time."

So... what happened back then is already a certainty, Xie Wu can't refute it at all!

Xie Xun was full of fear, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xie Junnan: "Okay! Very good! Shiro is really a good trick! Uncle, I am ashamed!".

Xie Junnan looked at him in a blink of an eye: "If uncle still thinks that they are all arranged by me, why don't you also see who was the matchmaker who was on the street with Zhao Nanny back then? Who was the smuggler who was responsible for escorting them? Anyway, Zhao Nanny was just caught by me. Evicted from the mansion, this matter is not considered dead without proof, uncle, do you think so?"

In a word, an understatement is like a breeze blowing, but Xie Xun choked so hard that his blood boiled in his heart!The temples on the forehead are throbbing!

Xie Junnan was so confident, it meant that he had collected all the people involved in the incident back then, he was not afraid of confronting Xie Xun one by one, he was only afraid that Xie Xun would not dare to confront him.

All kinds of things in front of her made Mrs. Xie on the chair lose her strength in an instant, as if she had aged a lot, she was limp in the chair, her whole body seemed to have lost her soul, her mind was in a mess, and there was only one sentence at the end, which was repeated in her mind memories.

: The patient had a miscarriage at that time, and what flowed out of the abdomen was a pair of twins.

twins...

Zhuohua had a false pregnancy at the time, Mrs. Xie took care of him a lot, not only because he was the eldest son of Xie Junnan, but also because a pair of younger sisters in Zhuohua's family were twins. He also expected that the womb of Zhuohua would be twins, but it turned out ...

Pursing her lips, Mrs. Xie opened her eyes wide, her eyelids drooped, and the tears that could not be concealed fell down in big ones.

Xie Xun misunderstood, seeing Mrs. Xie crying silently, his face was also extremely livid, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. When he turned around, he suddenly slapped Xie Wu's face fiercely!

Xie Wushi cried out in pain, and his body was knocked to the ground by him!
