Tai Shuqi was a little helpless, but even his coat was stained by Xie Wanyu, so he couldn't go back to the city in his underwear.
He took Xie Wanyu's cotton skirt and said, "You should know how to keep things secret."
After saying that, he went to the inner room to change clothes.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Madam, it's time to wake up." Zhu Fang shouted excitedly.
Xie Wanyu responded, quickly put on her clothes and walked out.
Everyone started to set off fireworks, Zhufang and Pei'er also drank a lot of wine, their faces were red, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
When Xie Wanyu returned to the room, Tai Shuqi was no longer there.
Xie Wanyu couldn't help but smile. He was wearing women's clothes. It was strange that he didn't walk at night. If it was dawn, he would probably meet many acquaintances.
The next day.
Xie Wanyu gave red envelopes to everyone in the other courtyard, so naturally those waiting around her could not be left behind.
Pei'er looked at the big red envelope in her hand and her eyes turned red. Now that her cruel mother didn't come to see her anymore, she could keep all the money she earned.
Grandma He held the red envelope in her hand, thinking about buying some clothes for her son when she could go home.
Only Zhu Fang took the silver and put it away casually, and then made tea for Xie Wanyu nearby.
"Are you not happy to get the red envelope?" Xie Wanyu couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Fang raised her head to look at her and smiled slightly, "I'm not unhappy, it's just that I can't spend all my monthly money."
"It really makes people jealous." Pei'er said with a smile, "Sister Zhufang, if you can't spend all the money, why don't you reward the smaller ones?"
"Go." Zhu Fang waved her hand, "I still need to save for my dowry."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Zhi also liked this atmosphere very much, which made him feel particularly comfortable.
"Here, Pezhi, I'll give you a red envelope." Xie Wanyu said.
Xiao Zhi was a little stunned, "Mother gave it to me yesterday."
"Yesterday is yesterday's, today is today's, accept it quickly, for good luck." Xie Wanyu smiled and stuffed the red envelope into his hand.
While everyone was enjoying themselves, a discordant voice appeared.
"Have auspicious New Year." Xiao Jing walked in swaggeringly wearing new clothes and a gray fox fur.
"Master Marquis, happy new year." Everyone knelt down.
Xiao Jing nodded, smiled at everyone and said, "Go out and receive the reward."
He stood in the crowd, tall and straight, with handsome features. Xie Wanyu couldn't help but smile to herself. No wonder she had fallen in love with him as if she was possessed.
Everyone thanked him and walked out one after another.
But he stopped Xiao Zhi who was walking out, "Pei Zhi, come here."
Xiao Zhi was not close to his nominal father, and Xiao Jing, who already had two sons, was not close to his adopted son either. It was rare for him to take the initiative to call him today.
"Father." Xiao Zhi saluted respectfully.
Xiao Jing rubbed his head and handed him a red purse, which was filled with broken silver. "This is a red envelope from your father. Go out and play."
"Thank you, father." Xiao Zhi was surprised, but still very happy, and then turned around and walked out.
Xie Wanyu and Xiao Jing were the only ones left in the room.
He put his hands behind his back and showed a rare calm smile, "Wanyu, I see you look much better than when you were at home."
"It'll be fine if you don't have to worry about trivial matters." Xie Wanyu said calmly.
Unexpectedly, her indifference did not make Xiao Jing flinch, "Can the poison in your body be cured?"
Xie Wanyu was a little surprised at this rare expression of concern, but she responded with a sneer, "This poison is not acquired overnight, how can you just explain it away?"
"That's it. Don't worry, even if I sell all the Xiao family's houses, I will still take good care of your illness." Xiao Jing looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Xie Wanyu is really not used to it.
Since their marriage, he has rarely shown a trace of concern. Now, he is probably asking for her help.
Xie Wanyu remained indifferent, she just waited for Xiao Jing to tell the truth.
Xiao Jing saw Xie Wanyu's expression was indifferent, neither moved nor responded. She couldn't help but touched her nose in embarrassment, and then said, "It's been so long, it's time for her anger to subside." He softened his tone.
"Master Hou, what are you talking about? How dare I get angry with you?" Xie Wanyu sneered.
"It was my fault that I accidentally hurt you." He admitted his mistake with great difficulty, "We have been married for so many years, we can't stay like this just because of this little thing, right? Your parents will also be worried if you don't tell outsiders the joke. .”
In fact, Xiao Jing had no intention of taking Xie Wanyu back. He sold Zhuangzi and had some money on hand, and Xue Xuening also benefited from the riot in the Xue family. Therefore, although the two of them were not as wealthy as before, their lives were not bad.
Besides, Mrs. Xiao knew about their affairs, and since Xie Wanyu was not in the house, they could be together openly.
But on New Year's Eve, the Xie family sent a letter asking Xiao Jing to take Xie Wanyu back to her parents' home in the second year of junior high school.
After discussing with Mrs. Xiao, they still felt that if they wanted to take Xie Wanyu back, they could not let the Xie family know about the discord between the couple, which would hinder Xiao Jing's career.
So Xiao Jing came here early in the morning on the first day of the new year.
Xie Wanyu felt a little relieved when Xiao Jing mentioned her parents, "The Marquis accidentally injured me, and I also know it. Now the wound has healed, but the poison on my body has not healed."
"Go back to the mansion, I will take the post to ask the imperial doctor, and I will cure you no matter what." Xiao Jing said.
Only then did Xie Wanyu look at him, "Not to mention that my poison is difficult to cure. Even if it is cured, there is no guarantee that I will not be poisoned again. Lord Marquis, the plan for now is to catch the murderer."
She emphasized the word "murderer".
Xiao Jing hesitated slightly. He knew the murderer Xue Xuening, but how could he possibly reveal Xue Xuening.
"Don't worry, after returning home, I will investigate this matter strictly and protect you." Xiao Jing could only deal with it.
Now Xie Wanyu insisted on being more serious, "There are only a few people in the mansion, and we can't even find the poisoner. Mr. Marquis, you are not strict in running the family, and I am really afraid of dying in the Marquis' mansion."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Jing was angry, "There is no reason for a woman to live outside and not return home!"
"I was poisoned at home, at least no one poisoned me outside." Xie Wanyu said with a sneer.
How could Xiao Jing endure such sarcasm, "Xie Wanyu, you will be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family until the day you die. I can always explain this matter. Even if I kidnap you home today, no one will dare to say anything."
Xie Wanyu clenched her fists, "Okay, in that case, let's go to the government first. I will sue someone for poisoning and let the government investigate. As long as the real culprit is captured, I will go home with you immediately."
"You, you are really unreasonable." Xiao Jing said angrily. At the same time, he was also afraid that Xie Wanyu would really report to the official, so he could only say, "This matter will never happen again, and you should not hold on to it. , life will go on."
