Xie Wanyu did not notice the change in Tai Shuqi's expression.
She said it very seriously. Thinking about it carefully, she probably couldn't give him anything to repay him except money.
"Do you think I will be short of money?" The corners of his mouth raised slightly, then he patted his sleeves, turned around and walked out.
Xie Wanyu was standing there, so how could she return the favor?
Under Tai Shuyi's shock, Xie Wanyu was not harmed in any way, but this did not mean that she could completely let Xue Xuening go.
By the time they found Zhu Fang, the banquet was almost over.
Zhufang was knocked unconscious and thrown into the bushes. She was covered in cuts from the bushes, even her delicate cheeks were not spared, but she was still concerned about whether Xie Wanyu was okay.
Xie Wanyu felt sorry for her and specially asked her to see the doctor.
He followed Xiao Jing back home.
Xiao Jing was very happy because Xie Wanyu created a good image and made him look good in front of outsiders.
"In the future, I will take you out more often." Xiao Jing said drunkenly with a slightly red face.
Xie Wanyu smiled and said, "So I have to thank Mr. Hou." After a pause, she asked tentatively, "Does Mr. Hou still want to stay in the study today? I think you should go to the North Courtyard. It happens to be okay. Look at Min'er's homework."
Xiao Jing was already in a good mood, and as soon as she heard that she wanted to see the child, she readily agreed.
He couldn't help but look at Xie Wanyu a few more times. With such a virtuous and beautiful wife, two sensible sons, and the charming Xue Xuening, what could a husband ask for in such a life?
Xiao Jing spread a smile on her face and touched Xie Wanyu's hand, "I am very pleased that you are so virtuous."
"The Marquis is so complimentary." Xie Wanyu felt a chill when she saw his proud look. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and looked outside the carriage.
He seemed to have long forgotten what he promised Xue Xuening.
After finally reaching the door of the house, Xie Wanyu jumped out of the car and found two boys to help Xiao Jing to the north courtyard.
Night falls.
Xie Wanyu quietly led two people, opened the corner door, and carried out a person from a dilapidated carriage. The person was tied with ropes all over his body and his mouth was stuffed with rags.
After bypassing the rockery and passing through two corridors, we arrived at our destination, which was Xiao Jing's study...
The next morning.
There was a thin layer of frost outside and the weather was getting a little chilly.
Xie Wanyu was too lazy to get out of bed, so she just drank porridge on the bed with Tang Pozi in her arms.
Zhu Fang walked in. She had applied ointment to her injuries, and she seemed to be in better spirits than yesterday. "Greetings, Madam." She knelt down in a polite manner.
"Get up, why don't you rest for a few more days." Xie Wanyu said while drinking porridge.
Zhufang stood up, walked to the low table next to the bed, and carefully cooked tea, "This slave is restless, and besides, they are all skin injuries. The doctor also said that there will be no scars."
Xie Wanyu nodded, "That's good."
"What kind of tea would you like to drink today, Madam?" She picked, "Longjing before the rain?"
"Okay." Xie Wanyu put down the porridge bowl, "Don't worry, our courtyard will never suffer the loss of being dumb." After saying that, she closed her eyes and sat there calmly.
Zhu Fang was a little confused, but seeing that Xie Wanyu didn't want to say more, she didn't ask, just lowered her head and made tea quietly.
Xie Wanyu has a pretty good temper and doesn't have any enemies. The only person who is at odds with Xie Wanyu is Xue Xuening. Zhufang also knows that Xue Xuening has something to do with her being knocked unconscious.
But she has a calm temperament, so she is not in a hurry to seek revenge.
Before long, there was a noise outside.
Xie Wanyu seemed not to hear, and only caressed Mrs. Tang in her arms.
Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Grandma He walked in quickly, "Madam, something big has happened."
"What's the matter?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Aunt He rubbed her frozen red hands, "It's over in the West Courtyard. It was a bit cold this morning, so the old lady asked a few women to go to each courtyard to deliver some silver carbon. But when they arrived in the West Courtyard, they heard Mrs. Ning's scream. , and then someone ran out, a beggar dressed in rags."
"Running out of Mrs. Ning's room?" Xie Wanyu asked.
Aunt He nodded firmly, "That's right. Many people have seen it. Oh, it's really embarrassing. Now Mrs. Ning's innocence is gone."
In any case, Grandma He is a decent and conservative person. Although she doesn't like Xue Xuening, she feels that she is really pitiful now that she has lost her innocence. For a widowed woman, a man ran out of the room, even if nothing happened to the two of them. If it happens, it won’t sound good if you say it out loud.
Xie Wanyu sighed quietly, "So, the eldest sister-in-law's chastity memorial arch cannot be saved."
After saying that, her eyes gradually flashed with light.
Zhufang was the closest and could see clearly, and then she laughed and said, "Congratulations, madam." Her mood also became more relaxed. Compared with this, the blow to her head was really nothing.
"It is only natural to pay back debts," Xie Wanyu said.
Aunt He looked at Xie Wanyu and then at Zhu Fang, with a look of confusion on her face.
Xie Wanyu was afraid that Aunt He would not be able to accept it, so she did not let her know, "Aunt He, I want to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made."
"Madam wants to eat, so the old slave must make more." When Grandma He heard that Xie Wanyu wanted to eat, she immediately became happy. It was rare that someone still cared about her craftsmanship, so she turned around and walked out.
Then, Pei'er walked in.
She was a little embarrassed, and her clothes were still stained with mud.
Xie Wanyu glanced at her and said, "Tell me."
"My slave was in the secret passage. I waited until dawn and watched the nun who delivered the charcoal enter the courtyard. Then I pushed the beggar into Xue Xuening's room." Pei'er said, the hatred in her eyes gradually turned to happiness.
This time, she really tried the joy of revenge.
"Although nothing really happened to them, just because the beggar ran out of her room, she will never be innocent in her life." Peier said through gritted teeth.
Xie Wanyu specifically told Pei'er and the boy in the yard to do what she wanted to do so that Pei'er could take revenge with her own hands, which would also eliminate the resentment in her heart.
Zhu Fang was stunned for a while after hearing this. After all, she was not involved in this.
Before the master and servant could say anything else, Mrs. Xiao sent someone to send a message and asked Xie Wanyu to go to the front hall.
Xie Wanyu knew that what was supposed to come would always come, so she asked Zhufang to help her wash up and let Pei'er go back to rest.
lobby.
Xue Xuening burst into tears. She was really sad. Her charming eyes were swollen into peaches, and her tears were like broken beads, falling down like crackling.
Mrs. Xiao held the Buddhist beads in her hand without even looking at her.
"Grandma, you have to believe me no matter what. If I really do something that's sorry to the Xiao family, I will be struck by lightning and die badly." Xue Xuening said, raising her finger.
She believed that the matter between herself and Xiao Jing was not a case of feeling sorry for the Xiao family. After all, Xiao Jing also had the surname Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao was still indifferent, and Xue Xuening could only say, "It was Xie Wanyu who harmed me."
