People who think I'm ugly are so sweet

As soon as these words were said, the faces of the people present all changed instantly.Aunt Dong almost knocked over the teacup on the table, Mrs. Xie's eyes widened in astonishment, Mrs. Zhang's hand rolling the prayer beads also paused.

"Second," Mrs. Zhang said indifferently, "Master is the head of the Xu family. In this huge Xu mansion, who would harm him recklessly?"

Xie settled down, still looking worried, "Xi Lu, this is a crime that will kill you, are you sure?"

"Master, madam, please listen to your servant!" Lian Cha kowtowed and shouted: "Today, when I heard that there was a thief in Qiuge, my servant happened to bump into me. The second young master misunderstood that my servant was an accomplice of that thief, so I took this servant out of hand. Buckle it down, and said that the master should be invited to make a decision, which brought us to the lobby."

Xu Taihe's face softened a little, and he was no longer as pale as before, "Xi Lu is just a mere house thief, how can he say that he is harmful?"

"Father, don't be impatient." Xu Xilu said calmly, "Today, I went to a rouge shop on Changxing Street and bought some rouge powder for my third sister."

Hearing the word "Rouge Shop", Aunt Dong bit her lip and stared at Xu Xilu intently, wishing she could immediately rush up to stop his mouth.She glanced at Mrs. Zhang from the corner of her eye, and the latter's expression remained calm, showing no sign of panic at all.

"I saw that the wooden box containing the rouge looked exquisite, so I kept it and put it in the study. Recently, my father told me several times to study hard. No one should come near the study. Manager Zhao," Xu Xilu asked, "do you still remember this?"

Zhao Chun bowed his back and said: "The young master's instructions, I will remember it. The young one also told the servants about it immediately. I didn't expect that there would be some people who dared to enter the young master's study to steal things, and the young master found out. In time-"

Xu Xilu glanced away coldly, the coldness in his eyes forced people to back away, Zhao Chun stopped talking embarrassingly, and Lian Cha took the opportunity to say: "The person Zhao Guanshi is talking about is none other than Wenqiu Pavilion's girl, Yunxi. She Relying on my friendship with the servant, I wanted to sell the stolen goods to the servant for some silver, but the servant didn't know her intentions before meeting her, if the servant knew about it earlier, he would definitely have talked to the second young master!"

"Sir and madam, they are lying! I stole, but it was they..."

"It's not your turn to talk like a family thief here." Aunt Dong said sharply, "Come here, stop her mouth for me."

A few servants came forward, held down Yunxi's arm, and stuffed a ball of paper into her mouth. Yunxi shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she could only let out a whimper Voice.

Mrs. Xie couldn't stand it, and said, "Even if you are a house thief, you have the right to defend yourself. Sister Dong is so impatient to stop people's mouths, is it because she is worried that what this girl will say will hurt herself?"

Aunt Dong smiled stiffly: "What is Madam Xie talking about? I'm just afraid that she will jump over the wall in a hurry and bite people without telling, and even quarrel with the master—"

"Shut up, everyone." As soon as Xu Taihe spoke, everyone fell silent.He looked at Xu Xilu, with a bit of displeasure in his eyes, "Xilu, let Hua Tan take care of these houses."

Aunt Dong hurriedly got up and said: "Master, go and rest quickly, there is Huatan here—"

"Father, don't you think it's strange." Xu Xilu still said in that unhurried tone, "If Yunxi really wanted to steal something and sell it, why did he disobey my order and steal a piece of wood bought from the Rouge Shop?" box?"

"Wooden box?" Xu Taihe narrowed his eyes, "Did she steal the wooden box?"

"Exactly."

"It doesn't matter what she stole, if she steals, she steals!" Aunt Dong yelled.

Xu Xilu smiled slightly, "Oh, what's the rush, Auntie, listen to me patiently, and it won't be too late to deal with it."

"Don't beat around the bush," Mrs. Xie looked worried for Xu Xilu, "What exactly did you find, tell me quickly."

Xu Xilu nodded lightly, "What Yunxi wants to steal is naturally not the wooden box, but the contents of the wooden box, something brought back from the rouge shop."

Xu Taihe couldn't help leaning out, "What exactly are you talking about?"

"Jiu Dong," Xu Xilu said, "Please come up Doctor Pan."

Pan Huai was still dressed as a man, with a cold expression on her face, she walked forward and saluted Xu Taihe and the two wives before saying, "The second young master gave me this thing half an hour ago." Pan Huai took out a The small green porcelain bottle was opened, and a few blue pills came out from inside.

Mrs. Xie understood five or six points in her heart, and said in a trembling voice: "This pill, can it make women infertile?"

Xu Taihe glanced sideways at Mrs. Xie, then at Xu Xilu, feeling strange in his heart.Unexpectedly, Pan Huai shook his head, then nodded again, "The name of this thing is Prozidan, which sounds the same as 'juezi'. It is crushed and put in tea water. It is colorless and tasteless. Taking it for a long time will damage the foundation of men and make men..." Pan Huai Huai didn't continue, but everyone present understood what she meant.

Deathly silence.

Xu Taihe stood up suddenly, and shook the things on the table. He turned around, looked at his three wives, his eyes were tearing, "Which poisonous woman is it!"

Mrs. Xie clutched her chest, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, "It's so ruthless, such a vicious move! In order to prevent me from giving birth to a child, I even killed the master together—that's right, this is the end of the matter, isn't it? Even if the master accepts it Newcomers, you can't give birth to a child! You are just... really crazy!"

Aunt Dong knelt down with a plop, "Master, even if this is really some kind of pill, it's not necessarily for the master to take!"

"Hua Tan is right." Mrs. Zhang bowed slightly, and said, "Just based on the little pill that the second brother found somewhere, it would be too hasty to conclude that someone wants to harm the master."

Pan Huai said: "It's easy to handle. For those who have taken the Luozi Pill, their saliva will turn a light blue color when it meets lime."

Aunt Dong choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

"Master, madam, I still have a witness." Xu Xilu raised his voice, "Bring it up."

Mrs. Wang was carried up by an unfamiliar man, her eyes rolled wildly, and finally met Xu Xilu's gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head; Xing Nong followed into the lobby, she was wearing coarse linen clothes, her cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, obviously I have suffered a lot these days; the one who was finally brought up was Chun Niang, she was still wearing the clothes she had seen Mrs. Wang wearing just now, her hair was a mess, she was not charming and charming in the past, she knelt in front of several masters, her body trembling. Sift the chaff.

Mrs. Zhang frowned displeasedly, "What kind of people are these, and they dare to bring them to the master casually."

Aunt Dong noticed the man with sharp eyes, and asked repeatedly: "You are not from the Xu family! Who is it? Who let you in?"

The man cupped his hands and said: "The younger one's name is Ah Fu, and he is the steward of Qinghui Building."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Mrs. Xie lightly, "So, you are from the Xie family?"

Ah Fu hesitated, and couldn't help looking at Xu Xilu. Seeing the latter, he nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Yesterday, Second Master Xu went to Qinghui Building and told me to guard the rouge shop facing me. Report the situation to the Xu Mansion immediately. During the middle of the night, a few brothers and I saw this woman sneaking into the rouge shop, and she came out after a short stay with a porcelain bottle in her arms. I was worried about something. It's tricky, so go up and take him down and send him to Xu Mansion."

Xu Xilu asked Chun Niang, "Do you know this woman?"

Chun Niang lowered her eyes in response, her expression extremely tangled.

Xu Xilu walked up to her, bent down and whispered in her ear: "You are not a servant of my Xu family, we will not do anything to you. As long as you tell the truth, I can still do your business as usual after I take care of you. "

The man in front of him was obviously so handsome, but Chun Niang looked at his face, and felt a little apprehensive for some reason.She swallowed and said, "I recognize it, this woman's surname is Wang."

Chun Niang thought that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, so she said it all in one breath, "About ten years ago, there was a guy in Changzhou named... Ding Ji Rouge Shop who came to my shop to buy goods, and he would come every first day of the month. We became acquainted with each other after coming and going. He said that he gave some things to his relatives in Beijing, and asked me to help pass them on. He also gave me a few taels of silver. I didn't have to wait long, and Mrs. Wang came and said that he was a relative of that guy. , I gave her the things. Later, when the guy came every month, he would leave some things with me, and Mrs. Wang would come to pick them up."

"Do you know what that is?" Xu Xilu asked.

Chun Niang said: "I asked before, and the guy said that it is a life-saving medicine. The capital does not have it, only Changzhou has it."

Xu Xilu said leisurely: "It's not that the capital city doesn't exist, it's just that if you buy this thing in the capital city, it's easier to be exposed. Isn't it?"

"Master, please forgive me! Please, please forgive me!" Mrs. Wang kowtowed and begged for mercy when she saw that the matter could no longer be dealt with.

Xu Taihe never had a good impression of such a dirty and cunning woman, he said in disgust, "Who asked you to get the medicine?"

Wang Pozi straightened up, raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at Liancha, "It's... Miss Liancha."

Lian Cha still insisted on crying out for injustice, "Master, you are wronged! It's them, they are spitting blood, master, please don't be fooled by them!"

"Master, ma'am," Xing Nong said suddenly, "Second Master didn't force me that day, nor did he ever beat me up. It was Miss Liancha who ordered me to betray Second Master. , let me go out of the house, but after the matter was revealed, she turned her face and turned her back on me, and blamed everything on me alone. Fortunately, the second master is magnanimous and gave me the opportunity to identify this time," she said fiercely Said, "It's true that God has eyes, and evil will be rewarded with evil!"

Lian Cha pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.With Zhaohua's support, Xie, who was on the verge of collapse, stood up again and walked slowly to Aunt Dong. "Okay, okay...I used to underestimate you, you...you bastard!" Under extreme anger, Xie's words inevitably violated the etiquette. She raised her hand and slapped Aunt Dong's face hard. He slapped hard, "I actually fell on your head, how dare you? How dare you!"

Aunt Dong was stunned by the beating, her face was in burning pain.Seeing this, Lian Cha threw herself forward, "Mrs. Xie, I did it all by myself, and it has nothing to do with Aunt Dong!"

Mrs. Xie sneered and said, "Heh... No one in the Xu family knows that you are loyal. It seems that this time, you are going to die for your master?"

Aunt Dong opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly there was a slap on the table, and everyone looked at Xu Taihe in search of sound.In a fit of rage, Xu Taihe's face flushed red, obviously everyone's face was ugly, but he felt that everyone was laughing at him, laughing at him being tricked by a concubine, laughing at his broken body and being unable to have children anymore... the blood is in the body Unceasingly tossing, Xu Taihe's eyes suddenly went dark, and he passed out.
