After Geng Shulou finished speaking, he bowed his hand to Geng Wen and Ruan again, and said sincerely: "What my nephew said at that time was entirely to clear the name of the sixth sister, and had no...none of the purpose that the third uncle just said. If my nephew's behavior has misunderstood my uncle, aunt, and sixth sister, my nephew will apologize to you here. After returning to Ningdu City, you can also find Fourth Master Yang and his classmate Daoming to eliminate the misunderstanding."
Geng Shulou spoke sincerely, his eyes were sincere, and his posture was low enough.
Mrs. Bo finally calmed down at this time. She pointed at Geng Wen and Geng Yan and waited. Looking at the posture, she was ready to scold him again.
"Brother Lou, is one of Fourth Master Yang's classmates named Cheng Kui?"
Geng Wen asked before Mrs. Bo made a sound. His tone was calm, but there was a hint of coercion in his voice.
Geng Shulou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "At that time, Fourth Master Yang briefly introduced his three classmates, whose surnames were Gong, Cheng, and Jiang. As for their specific names, he never said it, and I never asked them in detail. If uncle wants to know, I can ask Fourth Master Yang when I return to Ningdu."
"You really don't know?" Geng Wen didn't believe it.
Geng Shulou did not avoid Geng Wen's eyes, his eyes were firm, "I don't know."
Geng Wen nodded, "Okay, but I can confirm that the student named Cheng is Cheng Kui, the cousin of Mr. Liu. Since Brother Lou, you said you don't know, then you don't know. Maybe you were attracted by that Yang Qingcheng and Cheng Kui lied, but the truth is that your words made my Sister Shuang..."
Geng Wen paused for a moment, "Brother Lou, do you think Cheng Kui could withstand the interrogation of the county magistrate? He insisted that he was just a classmate of Yang Qingcheng. The meal he had with you outside Licai Academy that day was just Yang Qingcheng was dragged into making up the numbers. If there is any discrepancy between what he said and what you said, Brother Lou, even if the county magistrate believes that what you said is the truth, Brother Lou, do you think this will have no impact on you? ?
You have to know that in the Yang family, if the girl from the Jiang family hadn't rescued her in time, my sister Shuang almost fell into the water. There were many witnesses to this matter. I heard that Mr. Li was also there when the Imperial Academy offered wine. I heard that your mountain chief I have a close personal relationship with Mr. Li. "
Geng Wen finished speaking in one breath. Although Geng Shulou's expression remained calm, Geng Xingshuang could feel that her father had the upper hand in terms of momentum.
Xia, who was in a rage, was not as sharp as Geng Xingshuang, and she did not want to let this matter go so easily.
In her heart, it was a shame that the first house and the third house did not go to the Yaowang Temple to pray for their brother because of a small slippery pole.
"grandmother!"
Geng Xingbing suddenly shouted, interrupting Xia's about to curse.
"Grandma, although it is said that those who are clear will be clean, but there is also a saying that three people become tigers and one mouth can make gold. The eldest brother is a gentleman with a clear breeze and bright moon. If he is contaminated by some gossip, he will be unjustly accused. My granddaughter believes , as time goes by, uncles, aunts, uncles and aunts will definitely eliminate the misunderstanding, and by then, it will not be too late."
Geng Xingbing spoke vaguely, and Geng Yan frowned. Xia was angry at first for interrupting her, but after patiently listening, she did not get angry, but gave Geng Wen a fierce look. He said in a deep voice: "Go back home!"
Geng Yan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that it was almost noon, so he might as well go back after lunch, but Geng Wen stopped him in time.
At this time, don't cause trouble anymore.
"Sixth sister, what does fourth sister mean by that?"
Geng Xingchen asked as soon as he got on the carriage.
Similarly, Geng Yan, who was riding side by side with Geng Wen, was also asking this question.
"Brother Lou from the second room always feels different from before. Brother, do you think what Brother Lou said just now is true? And Sister Bing, what did she mean by what she said?"
What did Geng Xingbing mean? What Geng Wen and Geng Xingshuang were thinking was that she was worried that things would get worse and it would affect Geng Shulou's Qiu Wei. After all, now that Geng Cheng has fallen, the hope of the second wife lies with Geng Shu. On the floor.
But Geng Xingshuang always felt that this explanation was too simple, and there seemed to be something deeper hidden beneath it that she didn't know now.
As if she wanted to verify whether the prayers at Yaowang Temple had any effect, Mrs. Bo invited many doctors into the house to diagnose and treat Geng Shulou in the following days. However, Geng Shulou was still lying on the bed, but his cursing voice became louder. The strength of the left hand is also stronger. I heard that the last time Mrs. Ni came out of the main courtyard of Yingheyuan, not only her eyes were blue, but also the corners of her mouth were bleeding.
The marriage between Yang Qingcheng and Geng Xingbing, which was originally thought to be a foregone conclusion, seems to have stopped moving.
Madam Jiang once curiously asked Madam Yao if she needed their help in preparing the dowry and banquet, but Madam Yao put her off on the grounds that the two families only had this intention, but did not reach an agreement in the end.
"Does this mean that Fourth Sister will not marry Fourth Master Yang? How can this be an idea all of a sudden? Isn't it too... too childish?"
Geng Xingchen was a little surprised.
Geng Xingshuang didn't care about this. It was already six months, and neither Hongfu nor Luxi had come yet. It seemed that neither the second brother nor the sixth brother Yang were in Pingcheng. Otherwise, even if they took the inn, the letter would have arrived.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and hot people are lazy and don't want to go out at all.
On this day, Jin Bao and Geng Xingshuang said something novel.
"Girl, during this period, the fourth girl goes out frequently, and Mrs. Bo seems to know that every time the fourth girl goes out, she not only arranges the carriage in the house, but also makes several new clothes for the fourth girl. Although the clothes are not in our Mingshang I bought it from Mingshang Pavilion, but it was made in Jinxiufang. Many of the styles of clothes in Jinxiufang were copied from Mingshang Pavilion. The fourth girl wore a lotus-colored Yundu Qianshan skirt when she went out today. The new style that I just drew costs more than six taels of silver per dress. In addition, the jewelry that the fourth girl is wearing today, there are two pieces that have never been worn before, and they look like they are newly bought. Girl, what do you mean, Mrs. Uncle? Why is she so generous all of a sudden? The second wife helped her buy it, but at this time, it is really strange."
Geng Xingshuang's heart moved slightly. Recently, Geng Cheng has been making trouble at home. Geng Shulou avoided studying in the outer courtyard. Mrs. Bo was in a bad mood. She often found trouble with the third bedroom of the big house, but Geng Shulou wanted to In Qiuwei, I didn't dare to make too much noise. Geng Xun had been asking about his second son for a while, and I wonder if he had found any useful information. But in the past few days, it seemed that all activities had died down, and he was once again living leisurely in Yideyuan. , I heard that Mrs. Bo went in and made trouble twice. She went in angrily and came out angrily, but nothing happened.
Everything seemed normal, so Geng Xingshuang only hid in the house to enjoy the cool air. Even the maids did not leave, they were all in the house.
Jinbao couldn't bear it and ran out, but he didn't expect that there was something abnormal hidden in everything that seemed normal.
"When Fourth Sister goes out again, ask Sister Zhan to send someone to follow."
Geng Xingshuang thought for a while and then ordered.
Jinbao responded excitedly, there was something exciting to watch again.
"Wait!" When Jinbao stepped out, Geng Xingshuang suddenly thought of something and called her out: "You and Sister Zhan said to act according to your ability, with their own safety as the top priority. If you find something wrong, retreat immediately."
Jinbao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand why the girl said so easily. However, thinking that the girl had always been considerate of them, he only paused for a moment and immediately nodded to express his understanding.
Although Jinbao said that Geng Xingbing often went out during this period, she didn't really go out much. Zhanpei followed him twice, and she just took the maid to visit various shops, as if wandering aimlessly.
However, this made Geng Xingshuang feel that something was wrong even more.
More than ten days passed, and before Geng Xingshuang found out what Geng Xingbing was going to do, one...two big surprises came to him without warning.
Geng Shuhuai is back!
"Yang Liu is also back. He went back to the Yang family first and said he would come over to visit his father and mother tomorrow!"
