Mrs. Xie was so angry that she banged her cane on the ground, "What a domineering shrew. If you don't drink the medicine, you will die. How dare you steal Yuanyuan and your daughter's engagement jade hairpin? Yuanyuan knew you had done something to her maid. Son, I’d better smooth things over for you and give you steps. For the sake of peace in the house, she allows you to be arrogant. How can my old lady allow you to be so domineering? Come on, please move this shrew to Lanyuan next to Baishou Hall. , let’s see if she dares to show off her authority again!”
Ruan Ying, who was half lying on the bed, was so frightened that she crawled out of bed and said, "Old madam, the jade hairpin was given to me by cousin Song. I didn't snatch it. It was only Haitang's clumsiness that broke the dishes and the jade hairpin. Already..."
Upon seeing this, Haitang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "It's all my fault, it's none of the girl's business. I beg the old lady to spare our girl..."
Mrs. Xie has long been angry, not to mention that Furong Courtyard is separated from Xie Jingling's Fenglin Courtyard by a wall. She was dissatisfied with this arrangement yesterday and was worried about the trouble caused by the two evil obstacles.
As she expected, something happened on the second day after she moved in. If this continues, her marriage to the Song family will be disrupted!
Mrs. Xie didn't listen to their pleading and nonsense at all, and asked Nanny Li to recruit many women to move Ruan Ying's house immediately.
Ruan Ying cried miserably and wanted to send someone to report the news to Xie Jingling, but Granny Li watched the whole process. None of the ladies and maids in the yard dared to do this for her.
When Song Yueyi heard the news, Ruan Ying had already moved into Lanyuan like a gust of wind.
She wanted to laugh but couldn't. Ruan Ying in the fantasy world was not as restless as she was today.
She remembered that when Ruan Ying first arrived at Xie's house, Xie Jingling personally arranged to live in Furongyuan.
She didn't know what was going on, and in order to please Xie Anping, she ran to the door like a fool every day to accompany them to drink tea and talk, make incense and play with butterflies.
Even after she got married, she would often cook a table of meals with her own hands, invite the Xie family brothers and sisters and Ruan Ying to the table, and let them flirt with each other under her nose, wasting all her hard work.
What's even more outrageous is that sometimes Xie Jingling treats her with too cold and sarcastic remarks, and Ruan Ying pretends to be concerned and asks her. When she has nowhere to talk, she will occasionally tell her about her grievances and pain...
How could she know that the more outrageous she said, the prouder Ruan Ying would feel?
How could they know that Xie Jingling's so-called unhappiness and sleeping in the study every night were just a cover, but in the middle of the night, he would open the door across the wall and have an affair with Ruan Ying?
In her mind, Ruan Ying is a person with an excellent temperament, cheerful, brilliant and enthusiastic. Sometimes when Mrs. Qian scolds her, she will smile and make her elders happy.
I never saw her angry.
Such a forbearing woman actually did such a superficial and ridiculous thing today. Is it because she felt that Xie Jingling was about to change her mind and was stimulated, or was she deeply threatened by her own background and appearance?
She suffered such a big setback today. I wonder if she will stop there or not give up?
In fact, she expected her to take follow-up actions. Only in this way could she find a way out of the chaos.
…
Xie Jingling had seen Song Yueyi go into the house to persuade Ruan Ying before, but Xie Anping was still making noise at the door. He believed that Song Yueyi could coax Ruan Ying into good health. Anyway, with the old lady here, he couldn't go into the inner room to comfort the beauty, so he simply forced her to make noise. Xie Anping took him away.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the accounting office, paid a thousand taels of silver, and went directly to the county prison.
Two hours later, Xie Renhuai and Shi Huyuan were finally brought back to Xie Mansion.
Everyone had been tortured, except Xie Renhuai, and ten of the nursing staff were seriously injured. Xie Renhuai was only a little better. He could barely walk two steps, but there was not a single scratch on his body.
When Mrs. Xie heard that someone was coming back, she and the people from the third room went over to inquire about it.
It was a very busy meal.
While the doctor was bandaging everyone, Manager Lu had time to go to Fenglin Court to report that Ruan Ying had been taken to Lan Court by the old lady.
Xie Jingling rubbed his eyebrows impatiently, "What is the old lady doing?"
Manager Lu said: "I don't blame the old lady. It seems that Miss Ying had a bad temper and threw the dishes. The old lady said she didn't understand the rules, so she must have been brought to her for training."
Xie Jingling couldn't criticize the old lady in front of the servants, so he could only ask: "After I left, could it be that the Song family's cousin offended Yingying?"
"This... I don't know for sure. But from what Grandma Li said, the Song family's cousin's character is really impeccable. If Fourth Master wants to know the whole story, he can go to Baishou Hall and ask the old lady directly."
Xie Jingling had something on his mind, "Since it's the old lady's arrangement, there's no rush. Please step back first."
After Manager Lu left, he said to Ah Fu in a deep voice: "That Doctor Hu should have bandaged all the injuries in the hospital. You call him over. I have something to ask him."
After a while, Doctor Hu, whose clothes were still stained with blood and had no time to change, was brought in.
Doctor Hu is about thirty years old. He is thin and clean. His surname is Jiang Hu. He has been an apprentice in a medical clinic since he was a child. Because of his intelligence and diligence, he has gradually gained some fame in Jiang Hu.
The reason why Xie Jingling was relieved to let him join the government as a doctor was that, firstly, he had good medical skills, and secondly, he had a family who lived in Jianghu since he was a child, and he was not worried about his talkativeness and dared to tell some things about the Xie family to outsiders.
He has been in the government for five or six years, and everything has been peaceful between them.
Doctor Hu was also vaguely aware that the Xie family was different from ordinary people in public and private, and out of fear, he would sometimes do whatever unreasonable thing the head of the government asked him to do.
"Fourth Master, I wonder if you have any orders for me?"
Doctor Hu raised his hands and asked.
Xie Jingling put down his pen and ink, walked around from behind the table to him, his eyes were unpredictable, "Hu Jin, you have been in my house for six years, right?"
Doctor Hu was inexplicable. The hair on his back stood up uncontrollably and he stuttered a little, "...Yes...Yes, it's been almost six years."
"Then what kind of person do you think I, Xie Jingling, am?"
Doctor Hu instantly felt sweat break out on his forehead, "Fourth Master...Fourth Master is naturally excellent..."
Afu and Agui, who were standing aside, also felt something was wrong. The two of them glanced at each other, clearly wondering whether Dr. Hu had committed something serious.
"Is it excellent? Does the excellent Fourth Master make you feel easy to bully?" Xie Jingling suddenly asked, scaring Doctor Hu to the point where his legs gave out and he almost fell to the ground.
He hurriedly bowed to the end and said in panic: "I don't dare. I have always respected the Fourth Master very much and don't dare to bully him in the slightest..."
Xie Jinling sneered, suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, and took out a dark green purse embroidered with lotus flowers from his sleeve. He put it to his nose and smelled it carefully, then opened it and took out a purse embroidered with Ruyi bat pattern. fragrant pill pendant.
"Let me ask you, what is this?"
Doctor Hu was startled, then turned to look panicked, "It's... it's the wallet..."
Xie Jingling suddenly shouted: "I don't know if it's a purse? Let me ask you where you got this thing from?"
