Chapter 53
Like a thunderbolt from the blue, the Pei family was dumbstruck.
She was in a daze before she could react, but Xiao Zhongheng had already walked away.
The bitterness in her heart seemed to overwhelm Pei Shi, she only felt that the darkness was overwhelming, making her breathless.It's all because of this sister-in-law, otherwise, how could my husband treat her like this!Immediately, Mrs. Pei put all the blame on Xiao Ruan.
In the Qingwei Pavilion, Xiao Ruan picked up the spices absent-mindedly, and froze for a while from time to time.
Lian Qiao couldn't see it, and took the small spoon in Xiao Ruan's hand, "What are you thinking about, miss? You're so engrossed."
"I don't know what's going on with my brother and grandma?"
"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master will definitely help Miss you get justice."
Xiao Ruan shook her head with a smile, she was robbed of the small spoon, so she simply sat in front of the desk, resting her chin on one hand, and let herself be in a daze.
It wasn't until Zhuyun came in to report that she came back to her senses.
"Oh? So, now the whole capital knows about Cheng Kuo?" Xiao Ruan said happily.
Zhuyun pursed her lips and said with a smile, "That's not true. In fact, it was spread in a small area yesterday. Today, Master Biao specially spent money to let storytellers in various restaurants and teahouses tell the story of how the Cheng family broke into the Xunhuan Building at night yesterday, and how Cheng's family broke into the Xunhuan Building at night. Eldest Young Master's one night...cough thing, let me talk about it carefully. Nowadays, everyone in the capital knows that Young Master Cheng stays at the Xun Huan Building overnight to give birth to an heir so that he can inherit the family wealth."
"Pfft, I think Cheng Jijiu's face must be ugly." Xiao Ruan laughed, and then thought of Lu Hanrui, "Cousin is really, I'm not afraid that Cheng Jijiu will hate him."
She complained on her lips, but Xiao Ruan seemed to have a warm current flowing in her heart, which was very warm.
"Miss, because of Young Master Cheng's incident, the maidservant did not spread the second news. When is the best time to spread the news after what the miss sees?" Zhu Yun could clearly feel that since the time in Qushui, the miss has always been interested in the news. She is much closer.At this time, he worked hard to do things for the young lady.
Xiao Ruan murmured, "Wait for Cheng Kuo's wave to pass, then take a look, and I'll let you know when the time comes."
Zhuyun agreed.
Xiao Ruan's thoughts immediately focused on these arrangements, Gu's probably already knew the situation of Qushui that day.Soon, she will inevitably resort to means.At that time, she will be able to cover up all the news about her by using the second message before.Then--
"Sister." Xiao Zhongheng who didn't know when he entered the room sat down behind Xiao Ruan.
Xiao Ruan was startled suddenly, "Brother." She turned around to look, only to find that Lian Qiao and other maidservants had already left the room.
Xiao Zhongheng was a little depressed, "Sister, do you think brother is useless?"
"How could it be?" Xiao Ruan walked up to Xiao Zhongheng, seeing him bow his head, as if he had lost a battle, "Brother has always been Ruan'er's pride and reliance."
Xiao Ruan sat down next to Xiao Zhongheng, and hugged him gently.
Xiao Zhongheng buried his face on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "It's my brother who didn't protect you well and let you face all these hardships alone."
Xiao Ruan chuckled, amused by Xiao Zhongheng's tone.
He even said "study grinding", and his feelings are treating himself as a small cabbage.
"Brother, your sister is not a person who can be bullied."
Hearing what Xiao Ruan said, Xiao Zhongheng was still full of guilt, "My mother passed away early, I was supposed to protect my younger sister, but now I can only leave my younger sister in this back house to deal with that wicked woman of the Gu family."
Seeing Xiao Zhongheng like this, Xiao Ruan only felt relieved.Her elder brother is no longer the Xiao Zhongheng who was deceived and calculated in the previous life and used as a stepping stone for Xiao Yu.
"The back house is originally a place for women, so my brother doesn't need to worry about it. As long as my brother can be named on the gold list in the future, who will dare to bully me with my brother's support?"
Xiao Zhongheng was taken aback, and looked into Xiao Ruan's eyes with seriousness, "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam."
Xiao Ruan also looked at Xiao Zhongheng, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "Well, I believe in brother."
"Sister, from tomorrow onwards, my brother will go home and study hard, waiting for this autumn." Xiao Zhongheng paused and added tactfully, "So, if my sister has anything to do in the future, I can come to my brother."
Xiao Ruan was taken aback for a moment, and it took a long time to understand what Xiao Zhongheng meant.
After realizing it, she was a little bit dumbfounded, her brother was jealous of his cousin.
She nodded with a smile, "Okay, it's all about my brother. However, my brother doesn't have to worry too much. It's still important to focus on Qiu Wei. You must know that as long as my brother passes the exam, all the ghost tricks are just tricks."
Xiao Zhongheng nodded Xiao Ruan's nose funny, "Brother knows."
Xiao Ruan immediately narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, then as if thinking of something, he glanced at Xiao Zhongheng's physique, frowned and said, "Brother, your body is a bit thin. I heard that an autumn can make you fall ill I have a lot of students, otherwise, I will lend Liu Niangzi to my brother, so that my brother can make up for it before Qiu Wei."
"How did it get to this point? Sister, don't worry, I don't just study blindly. I also ride and shoot with my friends on weekdays. My body is not as thin as you think." Xiao Zhongheng smiled.
"No, if you don't want Mrs. Liu, I will send you some warming soup every day. Otherwise, I don't worry about it." Xiao Ruan pouted and acted like a baby to Xiao Zhongheng.
Xiao Zhongheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, it's all up to you."
Although Xiao Ruan didn't ask Xiao Zhongheng what he said to his grandmother at night, but she knew that her brother must be angry with Gu Shi, and he also realized the current situation of this family, so she was even more sad, which made her look so sad when she came to see her. A downcast expression.
The next day, when Xiao Ruan went to Rong'an Hall to pay his respects, none of Gu, Xiao Ying and Pei, who should have been there long ago, showed up.
She was a little puzzled, but suppressed it for the time being, and saluted the old lady first.
Mrs. Xiao pulled Xiao Ruan over and sighed softly, "Ruan'er is here. You haven't come to grandma for the past two days, and grandma thinks you resent grandma."
"Grandma, why do you think so?" Xiao Ruan calmed down, immediately hugged Mrs. Xiao and said coquettishly, "I know grandma has done a lot for me."
Mrs. Xiao sighed in her heart, "Grandmother already knew what Gu did, and wronged you. Grandmother made an agreement with your brother yesterday. From now on, your marriage will be checked by grandma."
After listening to Xiao Ruan, she understood, no wonder her elder brother was so depressed yesterday.What grandma said today sounded like she was feeling sorry for her, but in fact she wanted to save Gu Shi.
That woman from the Gu family did such indecent things, but her grandmother still wanted to protect her, which really made Xiao Ruan feel sad.This also made Xiao Ruan realize again that in the eyes of her grandmother, although her granddaughter has some weight, she is still no match for the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruan lowered his eyes slightly, showing a pitiful look, and said softly, "Ruan'er knows that grandma loves Ruan'er."
Mrs. Xiao touched Xiao Ruan's forehead, "Hey, good boy. Fortunately, you are smart this time, otherwise you might be delayed forever."
"This time I have to thank my grandmother. If my grandmother hadn't arranged for my sisters to go outing for me first, and arranged for a servant to wait for me, Ruan'er might not have been able to wait for my cousin to rescue me." Xiao Ruan acted like a baby while hugging the old lady. .
There was a smile on the corner of Mrs. Xiao's mouth, "You little clever ghost, don't think I don't know that you asked your cousin for a hidden guard, who can hurt you."
"Wow, who on earth told you so well that I can't even flatter you, it's too much, it must be brother." Xiao Ruan complained half-truthfully, and immediately made the old lady laugh.
She nodded Xiao Ruan's forehead, "Naughty."
In a blink of an eye, she sighed again, with gloom in her voice, "But some people are already mothers, but they are so vicious that they even want to kill their children." Speaking of this, Mrs. Xiao became more and more dissatisfied, "What a poisonous woman, if it wasn't for the fact that she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Xiao family, she should have committed suicide."
Xiao Ruan knew that the old lady's words were just for her to listen to, so she expressed her opinion, "Although Mrs. Gu is wrong, she is still my father's bedside person. Just punish her."
She knew very well in her heart that self-inflicted suicide was impossible, as long as Mrs. Gu wiped tears on Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong would probably come to intercede in person, and how could the old lady fall out with her son.
Mrs. Xiao said with a sullen face and stopped talking.
"Grandma, why don't Ruan'er tell you something interesting to make you happy?"
The old lady knew that Xiao Ruan was changing the subject, so she didn't refuse, and said cooperatively, "Oh? What's interesting?"
Xiao Ruan smiled slyly, "Grandmother, I think you also know that my cousin threw Cheng Kuo to the Xunhuan Building in order to vent my anger on me."
Mrs. Xiao knocked Xiao Ruan once, "Girls, you can keep these names on your lips." Also, don't think she really doesn't know who threw Cheng Kuo to Xunhuanlou.
Xiao Ruan pretended to be wronged and said, "Understood, grandma, why don't I set an example?"
So, Xiao Ruan recounted what she heard from Zhu Yun last night with more details, and the old lady was really amused.
The old lady finally understood what these two little guys were trying to trick. After all, she had eaten more salt than they had traveled. Once she understood, she also discovered the shortcomings: there was no need to completely offend Cheng To sacrifice wine, and secondly, to prevent that Mrs. Gu from acting as a second hand.
Once Gu's bite back, Cheng Kuo was thrown to the Xunhuan Building because he took advantage of Xiao Ruan, then Xiao Ruan's reputation would be ruined.Looking at Xiao Ruan's smiling face, Mrs. Xiao didn't say anything, she thought: Forget it, let the old lady clean up these things.
At this time, Mrs. Xiao still doesn't know Xiao Ruan's follow-up plan, otherwise, she might not be in such a good mood. She can't say that she will discredit her self, and she refuses to suffer. Even her father dared to arrange a good meal for a girl. .
"How about it, grandma, don't you have a lot of people's hearts?" Xiao Ruan was proud.
Mrs. Xiao snorted and asked, "Where are the two boys you captured?"
"Why?" Xiao Ruan was vigilant, "This is Cheng Kuo and Gu's evidence, so I can't give it to you."
Mrs. Xiao suddenly knocked a chestnut on Xiao Ruan's head, hating that iron cannot be made into steel, "Since it is evidence, let's have a good trial."
"That's right, grandma, Ruan'er has something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Xiao Ruan turned and left, and when she got out of Rong'an Hall, she put away the really smug smile on her face.The reason why she locked up these two young men without interrogation or interrogation was to make her grandmother think that she was just a little girl who didn't think well.If grandma notices something, maybe she will deal with her because of her scumbag father.
Thinking of this, she felt that the air in Xiao's house was really filthy.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the back of Xiao Ruan leaving, the smile on her mouth gradually subsided, "I only wanted to ground Mrs. Gu, but it seems that it is not enough."
Mother Deng listened patiently.
The next moment, Mrs. Xiao said again, "Go, take Brother Yu to my place to raise for a few days. When she calms down, when will you let Brother Yu go back."
Only then did Mother Deng realize that it was not that Mrs. Xiao would not punish, and that if she punished, she must have caught Aunt Gu's weakness.
