Xie Tong and Xie Qi stood in the yard and looked at each other.
Just now, Xie Qi was about to rush out to rescue Rong An, but when he saw Shen Zhonglei rushing back in time, he stopped, and he and Xie Tong lay on the crack of the door and looked out.
Then he saw Shen Zhonglei dragging Xu in from outside.
Then...it became the current situation.
It was fine that it was noisy at first, but when I heard that there was no movement in the room for a while, I couldn't help but worry.
Xie Tong looked at Xie Qi and asked in a low voice: "Is something going to happen? Do you need to go in and take a look?"
Xie Qi grabbed him and said, "This is Master Shen's family matter. What will happen if we go in?"
Xie Tong was more thoughtful and said: "There is no way it will end if someone is killed. Don't forget, the prince still wants to use Lord Shen!"
Xie Qi thought for a moment, bent down and picked up a stone, raised his hand and flicked it on the window lattice, making a "dong" sound, then turned around and said: "Okay, let's go, let's go out and help Mr. Shen clear his name."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked through the study, appearing in front of the servants of the Shen Mansion.
The servants who were originally crowding around the study door and looking around were a little dumbfounded when they saw two men walking out of the backyard.
Didn’t you say that the master’s golden house hides his beauty?
Although the two young men in front of me were of decent birth, they looked like Lian Jiazi with their broad shoulders and outstretched arms, but they were not at all like the weak and slender appearance of those little hustlers outside.
Although Xie Tong has not gone out these days, he is well aware of various rumors about the Shen family.
At this moment, you can tell by looking at everyone's expressions what they are thinking.
With a sullen face, he took out his badge and waved it in front of everyone, and said: "The two of us came back from business and stayed at the government office for a few days. I didn't expect that we would cause so much trouble to Mr. Shen."
After seeing the waist card clearly, all the servants in Shen's house were dumbfounded.
Although they are not very literate, they are servants of the prefect's family and are in Huguang. They don't need to know anything else. The emblem and brand of Prince Rui's Palace must be memorized by heart.
It turns out that the master is not a hidden beauty at all, but is just cooperating with the poor man from Prince Rui's palace.
Now that my wife has made such a fuss, I have lost my face to Prince Rui's palace. No wonder the master was so angry that his face was distorted just now.
There was no need for anyone else to say anything at this moment. Everyone around the door immediately became like beasts.
After a while, the master and his wife have lost their temper. There is no guarantee that innocent people will not be harmed, so it is wise to hide away with your tail between your legs.
Only Manqing and Mancui couldn't escape, so they had to stand outside the door and wait for Mrs. Xu to come out.
Man Qing was upset, she should have tried her best to dissuade Madam just now.
Mancui's face turned red and white. She never expected that after jumping up and down for a long time, this would be the result.
She couldn't help but shudder when she thought that the anger Xu received from Shen Zhonglei today would inevitably get worse on her later.
Little did he know that Ms. Xu was lying beside the bed dying at this time, so she had no idea how to punish her.
Shen Zhonglei was alarmed by the noise outside the window and regained his senses. At the last moment, he finally released his hand from Xu's neck, but the anger in his heart was not so easy to calm down.
He panted heavily and looked at Xu like an enraged beast staring at its prey.
After seeing Zhao Haijun, Shen Zhonglei became busy and did not go home much for several days.
Everyone in the government office thought that he was cooperating with people from Prince Rui's Palace to study Lao Dao's case, but they didn't know that he went to investigate Xu and Zhao Haijun himself.
After all, it was such a private matter, even Shen Zhonglei could not believe it, even the most confidant.
Even though he had seen Zhao Haijun's appearance, he still had a faint sense of luck in his heart.
Maybe it's just that the people are similar, or maybe the other person is some distant relative of the Xu family?
But as he investigates, facts are clearly laid out in front of him, making it impossible for him to deceive himself and others.
And Xu's reaction when she saw Zhao Haijun just now was equivalent to tearing off the last fig leaf between the two.
The sense of humiliation and betrayal that Shen Zhonglei had accumulated over the past few days suddenly burst out.
Once upon a time, he had always firmly believed that Mrs. Xu's heart was completely attached to him.
Although he could not return the same love to her, he still gave her the honor of an official wife and the greatest respect for his wife.
She was concerned about her natal family, so he tried his best to help her and turned a blind eye to her behavior of subsidizing her natal family.
She was jealous and could not tolerate others, so he allowed her to arrange it, only taking one girl as a concubine, and she did not live or drink wildly.
Shen Zhonglei never imagined that everything he did would make him the biggest fool in the world.
Obviously a few days ago, he was still looking forward to his son's return from vacation. After all, the last time he took his wife and children to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his mother was several years ago.
But the appearance of Zhao Haijun instantly shattered all his castle-like happiness and slammed a malicious reality on his head.
When thinking of Old Mrs. Shen, Shen Zhonglei suddenly trembled.
All the way home, he was only worried about being angry, and he didn't even think about how to explain this matter to his mother.
The old lady is old, what should she do if she gets angry over this matter?
Just when Shen Zhonglei was considering the possibility of handling this matter without telling Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Xu finally woke up from her coma.
"Ahem -" She coughed weakly and said hoarsely, "Master, why didn't you just strangle me to death?"
"Do you think I don't want to?" Shen Zhonglei raised his head and looked at Mrs. Xu coldly, with a fierce light still shining in his eyes.
"Then what are you waiting for, sir?" Mrs. Xu came back from the hell gate. At this time, her whole body was filled with the dejection of a broken jar.
"I have already sent someone to pick up your son from the academy."
Although Mrs. Xu was dizzy at this time, she was still keenly aware of the change in Shen Zhonglei's address, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.
"Master, Lin'er is innocent. He doesn't know anything. Over the years, he has worshiped and respected the master as much as he did the same day..."
"Every mistake is my fault. He is just a child. Please don't take your anger out on him..."
"Although I wish you could disappear right away, I have to get everyone together to be happy, right?"
Shen Zhonglei said, stood up and left, and said to Manqing Mancui, who was guarding the door with a face full of fear: "Go in!"
The two of them were so horrified by Shen Zhonglei's expression that their hearts nearly stopped beating. They waited until he was out of sight and then hurried into the back room to check on Mrs. Xu.
"Madam, my God, Master, this is..." Looking at the redness and swelling on Mrs. Xu's neck, Mancui couldn't help but take a breath.
Man Qing also didn't expect that Shen Zhonglei, who usually seemed gentle and elegant, would make such a drastic move.
But just when she stepped forward to help Mr. Xu, she accidentally glanced at the bed, and her eyes widened in shock.
