71. Chapter 71 Closer to the truth
The women all shrank back.
Qin Lang has been taller than other children of the same age since he was a child, and he is usually good at fists and kicks. Now he is standing firmly in the courtyard, as tall as half an iron tower. No matter how fierce these women are, they can only defeat the likes of Han Miaorong. How can they compete with them?
Qin Lang wrestles.
Luo Shi was confused. How could he talk about the filthiness of the inner house in front of Lang'er? There was no panic on his face, and he looked at Gu's mother for help.
Knowing that Qin Lang would never leave alone with his temper, Qian Xi sighed slightly and stretched out her hand to tug on his clothes.
Qin Lang hurriedly knelt down and asked, "Why, your legs hurt and you can't stand up? My second brother is carrying you."
Nodding pitifully and shaking her head, Qian Xi whispered in his ear: "Second brother, if you don't want Xi'er to be punished, why not plead with your mother for mercy together with Xi'er. Don't contradict your mother or make your mother angry.
It’s gone.”
Looking at Qian Xi's deer-like eyes, looking at him miserably, Qin Lang lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt upright together with Qian Xi, and said to Luo in the corridor: "Mother, the fourth sister is still young, and she is a daughter's family.
, I can’t help but beat you. If you have done something wrong, this is my punishment. Mom, please calm down and don’t hurt your body.”
It seemed that more than ten years ago, in the same inscription hall, Qin'er was protecting Lang'er and wanted to take action for his younger brother. Now Lang'er and Xi'er were replaced, and Luo Shi stared at the two of them in a daze.
Mother Gu looked deeply at Qian Xi, coughed twice, and directed the other women: "Take Mother Xia down and have a look."
Mother Xia was dragged away with a groan. Luo Shi also came to her senses, her heart suddenly crossed, she grasped the cane whip, pointed at Qian Xi and said angrily: "Little? Daughter's house! She persuaded Aunt Han to seduce your father, this
Is this what a young daughter should do?"
"Third aunt is my father's concubine. She just wants to talk to my father for a few words. How can I seduce her?" Qian Xi retorted stubbornly in a moderate voice.
"You just didn't know and didn't admit it!" Luo's eyebrows were raised.
Qian Xi tilted her head and said, "Mother only asked Xi'er if she knew she was wrong. Xi'er didn't think it was wrong to let Third Yin Niang see her father."
"Then in the middle of the night, you sent away all the people on duty at the second door, leaving the door of the inner house wide open. Is this wrong?" Luo asked loudly.
"My father and my third aunt are both here, so why is the door so wide open?" Qian Xi replied calmly.
"You!" Luo Shi was angry.
The mother and daughter were talking to each other, and Qin Lang was stunned on the spot. If he heard and remembered correctly, Qian Xi told him not to contradict Luo, but what was she doing? Also, was she serious?
Send away the servants and let Third Yiniang have a private meeting with her father at the second gate?!
Before Qin Lang could figure it out, Luo Shi had already brought down his whip, pointed it at Qian Xi's nose and scolded her: "Your third mistake is disrespecting your elders and contradicting your aunt! You really tolerate you too much, you think there are no rules in this house.
Is it done?”
Before he could finish his words, the vine whip had already swept towards him with the sound of wind.
Without any time to think, Qin Lang pulled Qian Xi into his arms, and the cane whip fell on Qin Lang's strong arm.
It really hurts! Qin Lang didn't expect his mother to really hit him. He was stunned for a moment, and the cane whip in Luo's hand was raised high again.
Han Miaorong's eyes widened and she whimpered and struggled on the ground.
"Stop!" An old and majestic voice sounded, and the mahogany crutch struck the ground heavily. Who else could it be if it wasn't Old Mrs. Dou?
Suddenly relaxing and closing her eyes, Han Miaorong lay down on the ground, her heart heaving.
"I thought you had acted calmly and had a relaxed mind. You have been at peace for a few days now. What are you making a fuss about?" Old Mrs. Dou's face darkened and she glared at Luo Shi. Her usual smile and gentleness like the old Buddha were gone.
.
But the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly seemed to be inexplicably relaxed.
Supporting Mother Guan, Mrs. Dou walked along, scolding her every step of the way.
"The children are so old. What mistake did you make? You want to ask for justice and do it yourself! Show these bloody things to the children. You beat Lang'er even though he is your own. Are you crazy?
?" At the end of her curse, Mrs. Dou was so angry that her voice trembled, and she pointed at the broken porcelain on the floor: "Otherwise, you will kneel here for me!"
"Grandma!" Qian Xi and Qin Lang said at the same time.
Old Mrs. Dou stamped her crutches: "Look, the children know they feel sorry for you, why don't you let them get up quickly?"
Luo Shi had already thrown away the cane whip and bowed his head respectfully to apologize.
Old Mrs. Dou was supported by her mother and sat down. The shock and anger just now subsided a little, and she said stiffly: "Where's Yan'er? Didn't he move back? How can you let you mess around like this alone? You two should be husband and wife."
Let’s discuss behind closed doors what should be done and how to deal with it. Why do we have a ‘three court trial’ here because we are afraid that this family is not unlucky enough and will be defeated as soon as possible?”
Luo Shi was silent, and Mother Gu took the signal, bowed forward, and whispered in Old Mrs. Dou's ear. Mother Guan stood aside and heard every word clearly, and the expressions on her face were changing from red to green, which was really colorful.
After hearing this, Mrs. Dou was also stunned. After a long while, she felt sad and pounded the green bricks on the ground with a peach wood stick. She lowered her voice and said: "The more this happens, the more we should deal with it quietly and cleanly! How many things are there now inside and outside?
People in the circle, how will you speak in the future?"
Mother Gu knelt down and begged as if she had just woken up from a dream: "After struggling all night long yesterday, Madam is also confused. I beg the old lady to take charge of the overall situation."
Mrs. Dou sighed heavily and waved her hands.
Mother Guan immediately stepped out and said in a loud voice: "Moms, please step aside. Those who should keep their mouths in check, keep their mouths in check, and those who should keep their mouths in check. Keep others in check. From now on, no one is allowed within fifty steps of Mingjie Hall."
Regardless of the mother giving orders on behalf of the old lady, who dares to be vague, everyone shouts and disperses. If anyone asks about anything, everyone shakes their head and has no idea. Luwu and Caiwei were also driven out, and the two of them stretched out.
Worried about her neck, Qian Xi smiled faintly at them, and then the two of them left with peace of mind.
The yard finally became quiet, except for the old lady, Luo Shi, Guan Mama, Gu Mama, Qin Lang, Qian Xi, and Han Miaorong who was lying on the ground.
Old Mrs. Dou didn't bother to look at her, and just scolded Luo: "The child doesn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. She was instigated. Instead of comforting and teaching her, you beat her. And those slaves from the second gate, aren't you strict in your rule?"
, Xi'er can send them away with just a few words? This is your inability to manage the family!"
"What mother teaches is that a daughter-in-law knows she is wrong." Luo's face was gentle and gentle, completely gone from the tough and domineering look just now.
Qin Lang was confused. He always felt that something was strange. It was like watching a play. Of course, he was not the leading person.
"No, what mother just said is right." Qian Xi stood up limping: "Grandma, it was Xi'er who volunteered to help Third Yin Niang to meet her father, because Xi'er also wanted to find out whether her mother was really killed.
He took away the unborn child of the third aunt, and also gave her medicine to make her sterile for life."
"Fourth girl!"
"Xi'er, you!"
