The fate of the Republic of China is you

Zheng Jiawen came out from the small door of Huatang, and saw someone beside him. Looking back, Hou Shuyi was standing upright against the wall, and she was immediately happy.

"Oh, isn't it hard to say, why, listen to the corner?" Zheng Jiawen smiled and folded his arms.

"Who's listening to the corner?" Hou Shuyi retorted, "I just strolled here, and accidentally heard something, go back to the house, is it cold?" Hou Shuyi crossed Zheng Jiawen with her arms folded and high heels Hastily returned to the room.

Zheng Jiawen shook his head with a smile, it's really not Hou Shuyi's style to run away like this, but come to hear that the corner of the wall is inexplicably cute, Zheng Jiawen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and followed.

After returning to the room, Zheng Jiawen sat down and told Hou Shuyi all the plans and ideas in his heart.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zheng Jiawen frowned.

"I always thought you were a gentle person, but I didn't expect you to be a man of integrity." Hou Shuyi touched her chin, "People say that businessmen are treacherous, but they don't know that this literati is treacherous. It’s incomparable, what a disrespect and disrespect.”

Zheng Jiawen gritted his teeth, looked at Hou Shuyi's expression now, red eyes still did not forget to ridicule her, Zheng Jiawen raised his hand and grabbed Hou Shuyi's face and said: "Who am I doing this for?"

"It hurts, it hurts!" Hou Shuyi looked at Zheng Jiawen pitifully.

Zheng Jiawen pouted and let go of his hand, picked up the apple on the side and ate it.

Hou Shuyi rolled her eyes quietly, forget it, as long as she can get her mother out, she will not care about Zheng Jiawen.

"Then let's act according to plan, I'll go first." Hou Shuyi said she stood up and walked out with her bag.

When the four brothers and sisters of the Hou family returned home, they went directly to Hou Shengying and told Zheng Jiawen's original words.

"Father, Zheng Jiawen didn't take you seriously when he said that." Zheng Hewei angrily raised his hand and thumped the table.

"Hewei, why don't you pound the table in Zheng's house? Don't get angry in front of the second lady, and don't dare to speak big words." Hou Shuxian rolled her eyes.

"Shuxian, why are you talking to brother? You saw Zheng Jiawen bullying us like this." Zheng Hewei's face was ugly.

"I think that the second lady has a lot of aura. It's a lady from a big family. Don't look at the gentle talker, but she has a lot of momentum. A person from such a background should not be called bullying if you say a few rude words. Well, it can only be said that she is standing up." Zheng Shuxian wiped her fingernails, and she felt that this second lady was different from the first glance today.

"Shuxian, you've been kicked in the head by a donkey." Hou Shude stood up, "If I had known that the Zheng family bullied people like this, I wouldn't have come back from England."

"Sister, brother-in-law didn't treat you well either. He didn't even accompany you when you came back. What are you doing in such a hurry to stick someone's cold ass?" Hou Shuxian rolled her eyes.

"Why, did he treat you badly? Didn't the previous letter follow you in everything?" Hou Sheng panicked.

Hou Shude blushed slightly and said: "Father, I, I am afraid that you and mother will worry about me."

"You." Hou Shengying was heartbroken, and pointed to his daughter's husband's family to help. Not favored either, the Hou family is struggling now.

"Father, the most urgent thing is to find Sanmei, otherwise the Zheng family will think that you are dissatisfied with this marriage and then detain Sanmei. By then, our business that has just started to improve will be over." Hou Hequan said urgently.

"Yes, what He Quan said is right, you call everyone in the family, including your mother, to go out and look for them." Hou Shengying stood up and pulled his jacket, "I'll look for it too. Yi found it and sent it back to the Zheng family."

"Ah? Dad, shall we go too?" Hou Shuxian stood up, "It's so cold outside? Besides, a living person as big as Hou Shuyi can't be lost."

"What do you know? Mr. Zheng also knows about this now. If our Hou family doesn't care, it's just giving people an excuse. Come on, stop complaining to me, and go out to look for it. No one can be found." None of them are allowed to come back." Master Hou said and left very angrily.

Mrs. Hou and several concubines in the backyard suddenly changed their expressions when they heard the words.

"Is your father out of his mind?" Mrs. Hou turned to look for Hou Shuyi's mother with a bad face.

"You still have the mind to sew clothes? The master said, your daughter is missing, and the whole family is going out to find someone, so you should be more sneaky." Mrs. Hou said and left with a very bored expression.

Yin Xiaxiang hurriedly put down her clothes when she heard the words, and ran out in a hurry. As soon as she ran out of the gate, she was stopped by a little girl.

"Madam, please stop. Second Miss invites you to go to the house." Said Xiu Gu and took Yin Xiaxiang into a rickshaw and left.

"Little girl, you guys, didn't your second young lady go back this morning?" Yin Xiaxiang anxiously asked her daughter's whereabouts as soon as she got into the rickshaw.

"Don't worry, Second Young Mistress is fine. It's our lady who feels distressed when Second Young Mistress comes back red-eyed, so she just wants to torment the Hou family." Xiugu laughed.

Yin Xiaxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, wiped her eyes and said, "Tell me, this is not nonsense, but Shuyi is loved, I am very happy, happy."

Yin Xiaxiang arrived at Zheng's house and was led by Xiugu to Zheng's house in the backyard.

"You're here." Zheng Jiawen stood up, with a bit of nervousness and embarrassment on his face, he wanted to call his mother, but he couldn't open his mouth, "Please sit down."

"Second Miss, where is this Shuyi?" Yin Xiaxiang focused on her daughter, unable to see Zheng Jiawen's restraint.

"Oh, she said that you wash clothes at Hou's house, and your hands are prone to chapping in winter, so I went out to buy you cream." Zheng Jiawen said while pouring tea for Yin Xiaxiang.

"Oh, where can she buy it for the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Yin Xiaxiang said and glanced at Zheng Jiawen, "Second Miss, can you send someone out to look for it?"

"Shuyi is fine, don't worry, there is nothing our Zheng family can't buy in Wuxi, not to mention the third day of the Lunar New Year, even New Year's Eve, the things you want to buy will definitely be called open door, you can sit here with peace of mind, Hou When the family arrives, Shuyi will come back." Zheng Jiawen said and picked up an apple beside him, "I'll peel an apple for you, let's chat."

Yin Xiaxiang took a careful look at Zheng Jiawen when she heard the words, her expression didn't look like something happened to Shuyi, and then thinking about what the little girl said on the way, Zheng Jiawen wanted to torment Hou Jiawen, her heart was half lost, she took the apple that Zheng Jiawen handed over, reluctantly smiled.

Zheng Jiawen wiped his hands and sat next to Yin Xiaxiang with a smile, "Tell me about Shuyi's childhood. Did she suffer a lot when she was young?"

"Speaking of hardships, her father treated her well when she was young, but there were many children in the family, and the mistress naturally favored her own children. As a mother, I have a soft temper. In that family, when the mother is soft, the daughter will be more stubborn. Her father doesn't like this kind of temperament. Especially during the time when she was studying abroad, her father didn't send her much money, and she suffered a lot when she was alone outside." Whenever Yin Xiaxiang said this, her eyes were filled with tears. Weeping, "I also regret this very much. When I was young, I shouldn't have disobeyed my parents and left home with Hou Shengying. I didn't know he had a wife until I arrived at Hou's house. My life was ruined like this."

Zheng Jiawen asked cautiously after hearing the words: "Do you want to go back to your hometown?"

"Why don't you think about it? I often go back when I dream. I dream that my mother forgave me. I live with my mother and younger brother in my mother's house. The sun rises and the sun goes down." Yin Xiaxiang said with a longing look in her eyes. .

"One day, this dream will come true." Zheng Jiawen smiled at Yin Xiaxiang.

Zheng Jiawen chatted with Yin Xiaxiang, the sky was getting dark, Yin Xiaxiang looked out of the window from time to time.

At dusk, Xiu Gu ran in.

"Second miss, the people from the Hou family are here. The master is entertaining you in Huatang, so you should hurry over."

Zheng Jiawen heard the words and asked: "Is Shuyi back?"

"I haven't seen the Second Young Mistress."

"Oh." Zheng Jiawen stood up and said to Yin Xiaxiang: "You sit here for a while, and I will let Xiugu take you to Huatang later." Zheng Jiawen said and went to Huatang.

Both sides of the hall were full of people, Zheng Junren saw his daughter.He turned his head and didn't say a word, he knew that Shuyi was fine, it was all caused by his daughter behind her back.

"Master Hou is here." Zheng Jiawen glanced at Hou Shengying, walked to the side and sat down, "Did you find Shuyi?"

Hou Shengying sighed and said, "I've searched all the streets and alleys, but I can't find Shuyi. I think it's better to call the police."

"Can't you find Shuyi? I really want to know why Shuyi went to Hou's house happily in the morning, why did she leave Master Hou's study crying? What did Master Hou do to Shuyi?" Zheng Jiawen took a sip of tea .

"This..." Hou Shengying felt awkward for a moment, "I still have to blame Shuyi's mother for washing some clothes on the third day of the new year. Shuyi saw it and came to me to question me. What did I do? Dad, she ran out after saying a few words to her."

"I can hear the meaning of Master Hou. One is to blame Shuyi's mother for not washing clothes on the third day of the new year, and the other is to say that Shuyi is making trouble for no reason. I don't understand it wrong?" Zheng Jiawen looked at Hou Shengying, and blamed it on The wife and daughter have no responsibility at all.

"Uh, this..." Hou Shengying was a little annoyed, he was speechless when he was questioned by a junior at such a young age.

"Originally, Shuyi's mother doesn't wash her clothes in the morning and doesn't wash in the evening, but her daughter wants to do the laundry when she returns to her mother's house. Who will she do it for?" Mrs. Hou said out loud.

Hou Shengying regretted it very much now, she wanted to give her daughter a warning and a warning, but who knew that she ran away without a trace, alarming the Zheng family.

"Xiu Gu, go to the back and invite Shuyi's mother." Zheng Jiawen was very angry when he heard Mrs. Hou's words, and asked Xiu Gu to invite Yin Xiaxiang while looking at his watch. Shuyi should be back.

When Yin Xiaxiang came to Huatang, Zheng Jiawen stood up, "Sit here."

"Okay, you, your daughter is missing, you don't go to look for it, you come to Zheng's house to complain?" Mrs. Hou stood up.

Yin Xiaxiang kept silent, she didn't dare to offend Mrs. Hou, for fear that she would suffer more torture when she returned to Hou's mansion.

"I brought my mother to Zheng's house, Mrs. Hou, is there a problem?" Zheng Jiawen looked at Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou was stunned for a moment. The second lady changed her name to Yin Xiaxiang, and she still called Shuyi's father Master Hou. This is not a good thing at all.

"Mother, whose clothes are you washing today?" Zheng Jiawen asked Yin Xiaxiang warmly.

Yin Xiaxiang glanced at Mrs. Hou and saw a strong warning.

"My mother washes the clothes of Mrs. Hou and her son and daughter." Hou Shuyi stood by the door of Huatang.

"Shuyi." Yin Xiaxiang quickly stood up and ran to her daughter, "Where did you go, are you okay?"

Hou Shuyi smiled at her mother and shook her head.

"You nonsense, when did your mother wash my clothes?" Mrs. Hou stood up.

"Shuyi, where have you been?" Zheng Junren asked.

"Father, I went to buy cream for my mother. I saw her washing clothes in cold water in winter, so I wanted to go out and buy some cream for her." Hou Shuyi replied unhurriedly.

"Why, doesn't the Hou family have a servant to do laundry?" Zheng Junren asked with eyebrows raised.

Mrs. Hou wanted to say something, but Hou Shengying gave her a glare.

"If the Hou family doesn't have a servant to do laundry, our Zheng family can help hire one, in-laws, what do you think?" Zheng Junren looked at Hou Shengying.

"That's not necessary. I'll hire another one when I get back." Hou Shengying took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Does the Hou family not have enough firewood for the winter? Now ordinary people use hot water to wash clothes, but the Hou family still uses cold water. If you say it, you will be laughed at. When I go back today, I will ask Uncle Xu to prepare some for you. Let's go." Zheng Jiawen said in a lukewarm tone.

This sentence was a real slap in the face, and Hou Shengying clenched his fists in his sleeves, but he couldn't hold back when he was in Zheng's house.

"There is enough firewood at home. Maybe the servants are too lazy to burn it. I will ask them when I get back."

"That's it, then you have to ask carefully. The servant Gu came back to work, and it's useless to keep the servants who don't work." Zheng Jiawen said and looked at Hou Shuyi, "Shuyi, you just said, mother Do you wash the clothes of Mrs. Hou and the young master and miss of the Hou family?"

"Second Miss, don't listen to Third Sister's nonsense, this, how is this possible." Zheng Hequan stood up.

"Okay, since you don't admit it, let's all go to Hou's house and see if there are any of my mother's clothes among the drying clothes, if not, please explain clearly whose clothes my mother is washing in the morning? "Hou Shuyi looked directly at Mrs. Hou.

"Then, let's go." Zheng Jiawen stood up after speaking.

"Wait a minute." Hou Shengying stood up and walked up to Mrs. Hou, "What's going on? Shuyi has never lied since she was a child. Tell me, is Xia Xiang washing her own clothes or yours?"

Hou Shengying's voice was full of fury. He knew that if he didn't give the Zheng family an explanation, today's matter would be difficult.

"Master, I..." Mrs. Hou looked at Hou Shengying, speechless, obviously Hou Shengying asked her to do this.

As soon as Mrs. Hou finished speaking, Hou Shengying slapped Mrs. Hou twice severely.

"Dear family, it's all my fault. I'm busy with business, so I seldom ask about the affairs of the back house." Hou Shengying said with a sigh, "Shuyi, Xia Xiang, you have been wronged by today's incident, don't worry, From now on, nothing like this will ever happen.”

At this time, Hou Shengying's eyes on Hou Shuyi changed, and it became very complicated. Mr. Zheng and Miss Zheng Er mobilized everyone to hold on to such a trivial matter, which showed that they cared about Shuyi.

"Master Hou, it's time to pay more attention to the matter in the back house. You should go back and find out what happened today. Whoever made a mistake in this matter should come and apologize." I miss my mother very much since I didn't see her, on behalf of Shuyi, I would like to implore you to let Shuyi's mother stay in Zheng's house for a few more days, is it possible?"

"Of course." Hou Shengying nodded with a smile.

"Thank you." Zheng Jiawen smiled, raised his watch and looked at it, "It's getting late, it's time for dinner, since Mr. Hou still needs to check this matter when he goes back, I won't keep you for dinner."

Hou Shengying's face was a little ugly, but he still had to smile and said: "Second Miss, you are welcome, don't worry, I will definitely find out who should apologize." After finishing speaking, Hou Shengying looked at Zheng Junren, "Farewell, my in-laws."

"In-laws, go slowly, Uncle Xu sees off the guests." Zheng Junren stood up as he spoke, and after the Hou family left with a bad face, Zheng Junren pointed at his daughter for a long time, and finally said: "Good job."

Zheng Jiawen blinked his eyes.

"It's the first time I've seen my daughter like this. Hahaha, I always thought you were a good person. You're not bad, you just need to have a bottom line. Let's go, take your mother-in-law with you, and let's go to the back hall for dinner." Zheng Junren smiled and went walk behind.

"Thank you!" Hou Shuyi whispered to Zheng Jiawen.

"Just two words of thanks?" Zheng Jiawen raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"Otherwise, oh, by the way, I haven't seen my mother for a long time, and I slept with my mother at night." Hou Shuyi smiled and went to help her mother, and the mother and daughter walked back talking and laughing.

Zheng Jiawen stood there and blinked his eyes, why did he do a good deed and stay alone in the empty room?
