Xie Shian lowered his head and continued writing.
Xie Ping pursed her lips.
This brother is only one year older than her, but he is much more mature and colder than her.
After all, He was their biological mother, and now she almost lost half her life under the stick, but this younger brother didn't even frown.
But she also knew very well that if she defended a servant in front of her mother, her mother would definitely become suspicious.
She said nothing more and turned back to her yard.
Xie Shi'an held the brush and barely finished writing a word. His black eyes turned dark, and he suddenly stood up and walked out.
"Ready your horse!"
The boy led the horse to the door of the mansion, he turned over and headed straight towards Yu Mansion.
Mr. Yu is a third-grade official, and Xu is holding a banquet. There are cars and horses coming and going in front of the house, which is very lively.
Xie Shian stopped under a big tree opposite Yu Mansion and waited quietly.
After a while, the banquet finally ended.
He saw Xie Jingyu walking out of it with some dejection, and he hurriedly went up to greet him: "Father."
Xie Jingyu put away his depressed expression and said slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Something happened at home." Xie Shi'an whispered, "My mother is interrogating the He family and asking about the whereabouts of the children who died young four years ago."
Xie Jingyu's eyes changed.
He took a deep breath and said, "What's going on now?"
"The old lady went to persuade her mother. She said that if the He family didn't confess, the Xie family would never have peace." He was so angry that he didn't dare to confess?"
Xie Jingyu looked at his son with a complicated expression.
Yun Chu might have thought of something that even twelve-year-old An Geer could guess.
If Yun Chu knew about those two children... he would probably break up with him without hesitation, and his official career would probably come to an end.
"While mother was interrogating Mr. He, she was also waiting for father to return home." Xie Shi'an continued, "If father appeared in front of mother in such a state, even if father did not say a word, mother would be able to guess a little bit. What is the true nature of the Xie family? My family will be restless."
Xie Jingyu took Xie Shian into the carriage.
There were only the father and son in the car, and there was the sound of wheels gurgling outside, as well as the constant sound of passers-by talking.
"I ordered Mr. He to throw away those two children..." Xie Jingyu closed his eyes, "They did not really rest in their graves."
Xie Shian's heart sank.
Sure enough, he guessed it right.
But he couldn't understand that although the two children died young, their father's blood was still flowing in their bodies. Even if they couldn't be buried in the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, they shouldn't be thrown away like this...
But there is no point in looking into the past. The key is how to deal with the current situation.
"Brother An, I'm going back to my hometown to deal with your mother now. You go to the villages near the capital as quickly as possible to visit. All the children who died in the village should be buried together. You can find a way to find the bodies of the two babies." ..." Xie Jingyu put his hand on Xie Shi'an's shoulder, "Father knows that this matter is a bit difficult for you, but now, the only person I can trust is you."
Xie Shi'an had a complicated expression: "Okay."
He opened the curtain, got out, and galloped away on horseback.
Xie Jingyu ordered the coachman to return home.
As soon as he arrived at the door of Xie's mansion, the boy who was waiting for him came up to him: "Sir, the lady from Madam's courtyard has been here several times and said that as soon as you return to the mansion, she will ask you to go to Shengju as soon as possible."
Xie Jingyu nodded and said he understood.
He walked directly towards Shengju without changing his clothes.
Along the way, he had various thoughts in his mind.
Soon he arrived at Yunchu's residence, and he immediately saw He tied to a bench in the yard.
He's body was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and he looked miserable.
But the two women standing by did not let Mr. He go. Instead, they poured a bucket of water on Mr. He's face. When Mr. He woke up, he continued to play.
"Everyone stop it."
Xie Jingyu uttered three words in a cold voice.
The two women hurriedly bent down and saluted: "I have met you, sir."
Xie Jingyu's expression was extremely complicated.
In his impression, Yunchu had always been a gentle and generous wife. She was like the vast sky, able to accommodate all people and things.
In the five years since they were married, he had never seen Yun Chu punish any servant.
For the first time, he saw her anger.
This burning anger made him feel a little uneasy.
He walked up the steps to Yunchu's bedroom door. He knocked lightly and said, "Madam?"
He heard footsteps, and then the door to the room opened.
Before he could say anything.
suddenly.
A gust of wind came.
There was a snap.
A loud slap hit his face.
Everyone in the yard was stunned. The surroundings were quiet and only the sound of wind could be heard.
Xie Jingyu's face was full of disbelief.
He was actually slapped by a woman.
He is probably the first husband in this dynasty who was slapped by his wife.
This is simply a shame!
Yun Chu's palms were numb and his eyes were red, staring at Xie Jingyu like fire.
She said carefully: "I will only ask you once, where is the child buried?"
Xie Jingyu's face was burning with pain.
He clenched his fists tightly before suppressing the humiliating emotion.
He took a deep breath: "Madam, you are too emotional. Please calm down and we can talk."
Yun Chu said coldly: "You are my husband. Naturally, I cannot interrogate you like I interrogated He, but I can ask my grandfather to come forward."
Xie Jingyu pursed his lips.
His grandmother once told him that if he married a daughter from a high-ranking family, his husband would be suppressed in every aspect.
But after five years of marriage, Yun Chu had never used the power of the Yun family to force him to compromise. He was always grateful to Yun Chu for respecting him as her husband.
But now, Yun Chu carried out Old General Yun.
She had no intention of living any longer.
But he...
Master Yu no longer favors him, and the only person he can rely on now is the Yun family.
He tried his best to suppress all his emotions.
He raised his head again and turned into a humble and gentle look: "I did hide it from Madam about burying the child. This is also something I can't forgive myself for. This slap from Madam is what I should bear." . I originally planned to bury the child next to the ancestral temple in the old home of the Xie family, but then I heard someone said that burying a child who died young near the ancestral grave would affect the luck of the entire family. At that time, I had just established a foothold in the court. , I am really worried..."
Yun Chu's patience reached its limit, and he interrupted him coldly: "You just need to tell me where the child is buried!"
"Four years ago, I asked someone to find a place to bury the child in a village on the outskirts of Beijing." Xie Jingyu lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in his eyes, "It's getting late now, and it's not convenient to rush there. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to meet the child."
Yunchu's lips were as white as earth.
Her fingers trembled a little and she uttered one word: "Get out."
Then with a bang, the door was closed.
She leaned against the door and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.
She should be glad, shouldn't she? Glad that Xie Jingyu didn't abandon the children's bodies, glad that the children have a burial place...
