The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 89
If Jia Lian got the errand for nothing, the two people who are happiest are Wang Xifeng and Ping'er. When Jia Lian returns to the mansion in the evening, the three of them discuss that it is better to take this opportunity to take Qiaojie back to live.Jia Lian has no son, and loves sister Qiao like a treasure, but he is not as careful as Wang Xifeng. After hearing what his wife and concubine said, he said, "That's fine. I'll go to Fengwei Hutong tomorrow morning and ask my aunt to accompany me. The old lady looks at her for her sake." Come on, most of them will agree."

The three of them talked and laughed, implying that the future is imminent.Wang Xifeng made an exception and drank two more glasses of water and wine with Jia Lian, not to mention the couple's lingering night.

It is only said that Xing Zhong returned home full of thoughts, and told the whole family about the meaning of the yamen. At the beginning, Xiuyan just wanted Mrs. Qi to appreciate her kindness, but unexpectedly, his father and Lian's second cousin even took the case!
Seeing her father's suspicious gaze, Xiuyan hurriedly covered up her smile and said, "Father doesn't know yet, Mrs. Qi is sure that the eldest son killed the youngest son, so as soon as the matter of Widow Miao came out, she asked someone to imprison Young Master Qi. Send people to Zuo's house to make an apology in person, saying that they must seek an explanation for Zuo Mingyue."

Xing Zhong knew this daughter best, "I heard from Zhengde that you went to Qi's house two days ago?"

Zhengde, who was eating, was horrified when he heard the words, and timidly rolled his small eyelids to look at his sister, and then hurriedly stuffed food into his mouth with a big mouth.

This heartless little thing!
Xiuyan glared at Zhengde bitterly, and then hurriedly smiled at her father: "Seeing that Zhengde is going to enter the academy, your daughter, I am thinking of finding a way for him! If Dad can really solve the case this time, Mrs. Qi I must be grateful to you."

"It's easy for you to say! If Grandma Qi is really just a scapegoat, then the real culprit must be extremely cunning. After such a long time, all the evidence of the crime must be wiped out. If you want to reverse the case, you can rely on Widow Miao A few words? Huh, it can’t be evidence at all.”

Of course Lu hoped that her son would become a famous teacher, so she took her daughter's side as a matter of course. She hurriedly said: "Don't discourage your daughter's enthusiasm. Even I have heard that Grandma Qi has a bad relationship with that widow Miao. Grandma Qi At least if it wasn't for some conspiracy, how could you bring Widow Miao into the city? Buy a house, and provide them with good food and drink?"

Xing Zhong remained silent.

Xiuyan didn't dare to go any further, because it would be easy to reveal her secrets.

But if I don't say anything, it will definitely take a lot of effort for my father to find the clues.

Mrs. Qi can afford to wait, the Zuo family can afford to wait, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice can afford to wait, but Zhengde can't afford to wait!
The matter of apprenticeship should be sooner rather than later, so Xiuyan lightly kicked Zhengde's dangling little foot under the dining table.

Zhengde happened to be biting the big chicken leg that his mother had pinched, and he was chewing vigorously!Suddenly his calf went numb, and he looked at his sister blankly.

Xiuyan lowered her eyes, but there was a cold light in the depths of her pupils.Zhengde's little shoulder shivered, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "Dad, there are girls from the Qi family in our family, why don't you ask them? Maybe."

Before finishing speaking, Xiuyan suddenly jumped up and walked around the table, Xing Zhong chased after him and scolded: "I knew you couldn't get away from here! Does that widow Miao have anything to do with you? The murderer killed several people in a row, You are not afraid of retaliation!"

When Lu came back to his senses, he stepped forward and grabbed Xing Zhong: "Isn't it because of Zhengde, my daughter? It's not like you don't know her character. She has a lot of petty tricks. I can't beat her even if I try my best." , since my daughter is capable of helping you, you appreciate it!"

Xing Zhong said angrily, "It's because she has so many ideas that I'm afraid of suffering in the future!"

Xiuyan had already run to the gate, leaning on the door frame to probe in, Zhengde hugged Xing Zhong, his two calves nimbly clung to his father, he looked like a little tree bear, and kept yelling: "Sister, You run!"

Xing Zhong couldn't laugh or cry, "Master Wang teaches you this every day?"

Seeing that her father's anger was fading away, Xiuyan sneaked into the house, and said with a smile, "Dad, calm down first, and listen to me slowly." How to find out Kang's mother's words, and how to find Widow Miao and tell Xing Zhong one by one.

Xing Zhong listened patiently at the beginning, but when his daughter said lightly, she said that she had found Widow Miao in just two or three sentences, and said harshly, "Tell the truth as soon as possible, who helped you?"

The expression on Xiuyan's face was so innocent, she spread her hands upwards.

But this time, not to mention Xing Zhong's unbelief, even Lu Shi began to doubt his daughter.Who made the Xing family unstable in the capital?There are only a few people in the family who can really be used, and most of them are working outside with Xing Zhong, so they have no time and energy to do other things.

The daughter's every move is carried out in secret. If it weren't for the words of Zhengde today that aroused Xing Zhong's suspicion, the couple would have been kept in the dark!
Xiuyan pointedly swears: "If I want to help, I can only ask Lian's second cousin. If my parents don't believe me, I will call Lian's second cousin tomorrow. I am not afraid to confront him face to face."

This is the same principle of being a person and doing things. Once the momentum becomes stronger, the other party will feel guilty.Although Xing Zhong and Lu's were not guilty enough, seeing their daughter's swearing, they believed them half to eighty percent.This girl has always been scheming, maybe they are really careless?
After dinner, Xiuyan sent Zhengde to the study to study and left the main courtyard on the pretext of.Just after leaving the Chuihua Gate, Xiuyan opened her arms and grabbed the fat and soft flesh on Zhengde's cheek: "Smelly boy, tell me quickly, did you do it on purpose?"

Zhengde was forced to open his mouth, and the air leaked frequently from his mouth. Xiaopang clasped his hands together and kept begging for mercy: "My good sister, I really didn't mean it!"

Meilian and Meiying hurriedly pulled Xiuyan's hand: "Miss, calm down, girl, calm down, the young master speaks without restraint, if you say something wrong, don't take it to heart."

Zhengde rubbed his cheeks and said aggrievedly: "I didn't tell my parents, the person who helped my sister was."

Xiuyan is really popular this time, she wants to slap her feet when she jumps up, but she is no match for Zhengde, this kid has been practicing martial arts all year round, and his kung fu is as good as that of a fifteen-year-old boy.But in the blink of an eye, the boy fled without a trace.

Meilian and Miying crossed one arm each, firmly fixed Xiuyan in the middle, and interrupted with a smile: "Miss, look, our young master's kung fu has improved even more."

Everyone in Xiuyan rolled their eyes, but no one paid any attention, and walked forward with swaying steps.Meilian and Mio looked at each other, couldn't help but chuckled sullenly, and didn't dare to let the girl hear it, so they almost got internal injuries.

Early the next morning, as usual, Xing Zhong went to the Yamen to work as an errand, and after Jia Lian passed the meeting, he went to Dali Temple to assist in handling the case.Xing Zhong walked forward, and Wang Xifeng arrived at Fengwei Hutong on the back. After explaining the purpose of coming, Lu nodded repeatedly.

"I've advised you couples, Miss Qiao, that it's safest to stay with your parents. After all, the old lady is too old to keep a villain by her side. She has nothing to do with your husband and wife, but with the children. Miss Qiao won't sue. Don't you spoil her character?"

Wang Xifeng didn't think about it so much at the beginning. After Lu Shi finished speaking, she naturally thought of Yingchun's cowardice and fear of getting into trouble.Sister Feng panicked: "Then let's go!"

"Don't worry, let me ask you, what gift are you going to give your mother-in-law?"

Seeing the disapproving look in Sister Feng's eyes, Mrs. Lu sighed softly: "You child, you are confused when you should be smart! The old lady loves you so much, of course she is willing to let Sister Qiao come back, but she can't get over your mother-in-law." If Mrs. Xing objected and insisted on keeping sister Qiao by her side to raise her, you wouldn’t take the case to the emperor.”

Wang Xifeng is more aware of Madam Xing's greed than others, she also wants to understand now that everything is false, although the gold and silver treasures are good, they will cost lives if they are too much.

Wang Xifeng then said: "My aunt and my niece and daughter-in-law understand. In the past, the eldest wife took a fancy to a white jade Bodhisattva statue that my natal family brought as a dowry. She didn't have a son at the beginning, but she only had a sister Qiao. The eldest wife satirized openly and secretly, saying that The bodhisattva is not effective, so it is useless to me. I pretended to be stupid and refused to be with her. This time, I simply gave her away for Sister Qiao!"

Lu said with a smile: "Sister Qiao is your weakness. As an elder sister, I may not be smart, but I can't underestimate my greed. How about it, someone gave me a pair of hats that year, and I didn't wear the heavy ones. It's better to give it to your mother-in-law as a favor."

Wang Xifeng looked embarrassed: "How can this be done, how can I treat my aunt's things as favors!"

Who did Sister Feng know about the conflicts between the sisters-in-law of the Xing family? That day, the unscrupulous incident between cousin Xing and the eldest wife was rumored for half an hour, so she just kept it from the old lady.It is because of knowing this that Sister Feng is even more embarrassed to accept things from her aunt.

Ke Lu has already sent someone to fetch a whole set of jewelry, the box is full of bright emerald color, the inlaid on the head is either pearls or agate, in the middle there is a dove egg-sized emerald green, which is eye-catching.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing: "Aunt really knows our wife's mind accurately."

Mrs. Xing may not like this style, but she definitely likes its price.

After lunch, Lu Shi took Sister Feng and Xiuyan to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.

Coincidentally, Aunt Xue was discussing at the old lady's place to invite the daughters of Mei Hanlin's family as guests in the courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. Mother Jia was very uncomfortable, and when she heard the report from outside, it was said that the uncle and wife and the second grandma Lian had come, and she was so happy that she called out. Mrs. Wang went to meet her in person.

"You child, I will give up only if I get anxious! Can't you communicate with each other after the family is separated? I will send someone to pick you up for the New Year. You and Lian are fine! The more capable you are, the more you can't understand us old and stubborn people. Did you do it?"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing stood not far away in embarrassment, and Aunt Xue was even more embarrassing.

Wang Xifeng had already recovered from the gaffe just now, and she heard Wang Xifeng laughing constantly: "The ancestors love us, how can we not know how to be grateful? But at that time I was still wearing a sinful body, and the second master was afraid I'm tired of empress."

Mother Jia nodded incessantly: "I heard from your aunt that you and your wife lived in Fengwei Hutong on New Year's Eve, uncle and wife are kind!"
