Yu Ruiwen had a dull face and looked at Aunt Yu coldly.
"Master Hou, although our lord was not a minister at the time, he still had an official position. Mrs. Hou was the only legitimate daughter in our house. We had already made arrangements to get married, but because the elder in the other party's family passed away, she had to observe mourning for three years, which delayed Mrs. Hou.
, after three years of mourning, the other party came over to decide on the wedding date, and unexpectedly met Mrs. Ning."
Aunt Yu sighed: "After that, the other party said that she wanted to cancel the marriage and marry Ning. Our wife was furious. Ning knelt in front of our wife and begged, saying that it was not her intention. She
I don’t know anything, but in fact our wife checked later and found that when the other party comes over, Mrs. Ning always appears in the yard for various reasons."
"What happened back then, our wife finally forgave her for the sake of Mrs. Ning's mother, but also drove her back, but said nothing to Mrs. Hou, for fear that Mrs. Hou would be embarrassed and angry if she knew about it, and the marriage between the two families would naturally
So I gave up, and then Mrs. Hou met Mr. Hou."
Aunt Yu was well prepared for what happened back then, and recounted the past events calmly and calmly. Before she came, the old lady had ordered her to tell Yu Ruiwen about this "past".
"Ning has ever treated Qian like this?" Yu Ruiwen couldn't believe it, his brows were knotted, but his tone was a little gentler.
"If the Marquis doesn't believe in this old slave, why doesn't he still believe in our old lady? You have seen how the old lady has treated you over the years."
Aunt Yu knew it had an effect. She stretched out her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and said angrily: "If the old lady knew about Mrs. Ning, she would set a trap to harm Mrs. Hou. She would never let her go."
Yu Ruiwen was silent. He did believe Mrs. Yu's character, but this matter was too mysterious. Why didn't he believe it so much?
"Master Hou..." Seeing him like this, Aunt Yu said again.
Yu Ruiwen shook his hand: "You go down first and I'll think about it."
"Master Hou, what about Mrs. Ning's mother-in-law?" Aunt Yu asked cautiously. This matter hit Mrs. Xiao too hard to deal with, but what she said at that time would not be believed by Marquis Ping again if she wanted to say it back.
"Stay here first!" Yu Ruiwen said with a serious look.
"Then the old slave will go back and report to the old lady first?" Aunt Yu asked tentatively.
"If this matter is really done by the Ning family, I will remove the mother-in-law who is guarding Mingyue Xiaozhu, but Qian... will not be released for the time being." Yu Ruiwen said softly, even if he believed Mrs. Qian, he would not let her go.
It’s really hard to believe that Qian is really so innocent in this matter?
"Don't worry, Mr. Hou, our old lady will understand. Even if Mrs. Hou is framed, her ears are soft and she cannot distinguish between good people and bad people. What our old lady means, even if the Marquis does not punish Mrs. Hou, our old lady will
You must be punished." Aunt Yu hurriedly expressed her position. Not only did she not say anything wrong with Yu Ruiwen, but she also showed that Mrs. Qian was on his side.
Yu Ruiwen's expression softened a bit: "Thank you, madam, for your understanding."
"One family talks about two families. It's because we, the old lady, have always protected Mrs. Hou, and that's why we raised her so that she doesn't know good and evil, and only follows her own temperament."
Aunt Yu said hurriedly, with a smile on her face.
These words moved Yu Ruiwen more than the words just now. Is Qian really not evil, just doing things based on his own preferences?
Yu Ruiwen was silent, and after a while he said: "The Qian family has been banned, and there is no mistress to handle the affairs in the mansion. I have already reported to my mother to help Aunt Zhou come to settle her wife and handle the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Xuanping Hou Mansion."
Now that the topic has come to mind, it's a good time to talk about it.
Aunt Yu was shaken. She almost didn't believe her ears, and her smile froze on her face: "Hou...Master Hou, you...what did you say?"
She doesn't know this yet.
"The Xuanping Hou Mansion cannot be without its mistress. Aunt Zhou is very good, and she comes from a good family. She supports me as an ordinary wife and takes care of my family affairs." Yu Ruiwen said. Aunt Yu said that he could still do it.
Maintain a clear mind.
Aunt Yu lost her countenance and wanted to say something, but she saw Yu Ruiwen waved his hand tiredly: "Aunt Yu, please go back first. I'll wait until I find out more about this matter."
Aunt Yu wanted to say something else, but she saw Yu Ruiwen closed her eyes and leaned back.
Not daring to explain any more, Aunt Yu stepped back from the study. When she saw Aunt Xiao kneeling in front of the study at the door, she calmed down and walked over.
"Mother Xiao, you know that our old lady is the most kind-hearted, but it is you, Mrs. Ning, who are ungrateful, otherwise why would this happen! With our old lady here, even if you, Mrs. Ning, go back on her word... it will be useless." Aunt Jade.
Mammy stood with the boy on her back, bent down slightly, and the gaze that fell on Mammy Xiao became cold and cold.
It fell heavily on Aunt Xiao's body, and Aunt Xiao shivered cleverly.
A long-lasting scene appeared in the eyes of Aunt Xiao. At that time, Ning was not married yet and basically lived in the Qian Mansion. Qian made a mistake, Ning was punished to kneel down, and Aunt Xiao was scolded by Aunt Yu.
After being beaten and stepping on the blood on the ground, this is what Aunt Yu said to Aunt Xiao.
Aunt Xiao's whole body was stiff.
Aunt Yu smiled sinisterly, straightened up, and hurried out. I understand that Mrs. Xiao did not dare to retort, and even if she did, the Marquis would not listen.
The old lady doesn't want to put the Ning family to death. No matter how bad the Marquis is, he can't really publicize the matter without caring about the face of the Yu family.
It doesn't matter if he offends Mrs. Ning. The first thing is to rescue Mrs. Hou.
Marquis Xuanping's reaction was beyond the old lady's expectation. He actually wanted to help his aunt become an equal wife. He had to go back quickly and let the old lady think of something...
In the study, Yu Ruiwen frowned and said nothing for a long time.
This matter is strange. He previously believed that Qian did it, but now he is a little hesitant. Could it be that Ning really bewitched Qian?
But even if it was really Ning who bewitched Qian, Qian could not be completely innocent.
Do you believe it or not? I am very confused...
"Click!" A sound suddenly came from the door, breaking the peace in the study.
Yu Ruiwen opened his eyes and looked towards the door.
"Master Marquis, the kitchen has brought pastries." At the door, the waiter put a basket of human food on the ground and bowed first.
"How do you bring pastries here?" Yu Ruiwen reached out and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, asking.
"Master Marquis forgot, you said before that you didn't have much appetite for dinner and didn't really want to eat it, so Aunt Zhou asked the kitchen to bring you some cold cakes, and you agreed at the time," the waiter said.
This was said to Aunt Zhou. Yu Ruiwen was upset and had forgotten it for a long time. He only remembered it after hearing what the boy said. He raised his head and looked out the window. The setting sun outside the window had already set.
"Bring it here!" Yu Ruiwen said without energy.
The boy came over in response, took out the cold cakes from the food basket, and took out a bowl of mung bean soup and placed it in front of Yu Ruiwen: "Master Hou, this mung bean soup was cooked by the kitchen for the third girl. I heard that the Hou Ye has no appetite, so the third girl specially made it
Let the kitchen bring you the mung bean soup first."
Thinking of his little daughter, Yu Ruiwen showed a smile on his face: "This child, she is a girl who likes sweet soup, but I don't like it."
"Master Hou, it's not sweet." The boy said hurriedly.
"How could the sweet soup not be sweet?" Yu Ruiwen picked up the spoon and scooped it gently. Although he didn't like it very much, he couldn't live up to his little daughter's wishes.
After tasting it gently, I found that it was really not that sweet. It didn't feel like there was much sweetness. However, after tasting it carefully, I felt that there was also a hint of sweetness. Different from the strong sweetness in the past, this mung bean soup was actually very delicious.
"Oh, it's really good." Yu Ruiwen drank a few more sips, the lukewarm taste was just right, and it was more to the taste than before.
"The old woman who sent it from the kitchen said that she heard that Mr. Hou had no appetite, so the third girl adjusted the taste for Mr. Hou, and asked the old woman to bring it after it had cooled. I heard that the third girl brought the mung beans from Jiangnan, and
The ones in the capital are a little different, the taste is better, and there aren’t as many places with three girls.” The boy said with a smile.
"Jiao'er didn't drink it herself?" Yu Ruiwen looked at the soup can on the table. It looked quite big and could at least pour out two or three bowls.
"Third Miss, I'm afraid you won't have enough to drink, so I'll have someone bring it to you," the waiter said.
Yu Ruiwen took another sip, sighed in his heart, finished the mung bean soup in the bowl with the last sip, put down the bowl decisively and stood up:, walked around the desk and said, "Let's go."
He is very confused about this matter now. He might as well talk to his younger daughter. Maybe there is a good solution. In this matter, the least involved one is the younger daughter.
"Master Hou, where are you going?" The boy was stunned.
"Take the mung bean soup and go to Yaoshui Pavilion." Yu Ruiwen ordered, strode out, walked outside, looked at Mrs. Xiao who was kneeling in front of the door, and said coldly: "Push the person into the woodshed first."
The boy hurriedly packed up the soup cans, picked up the food basket and trotted to catch up with Yu Ruiwen.
When she heard that Yu Ruiwen was coming, Yu Xijiao smiled. She heard that Aunt Yu went back and left behind a captured Aunt Xiao who is still with her father.
The dog bites dog scene happened very quickly!
However, this also made Yu Xijiao wary. Madam Qian was more powerful than she thought. In just a short time, she immediately brought Ning's people to her father.
Some things, whether it was said by the Qian family or the Qian family, were not as valuable as those by the Ning family, so the caring mother-in-law of the Ning family sent them to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Regardless of whether this matter was temporarily postponed or they had other strategies, now that the matter had been revealed, she would not allow them to simply slide past it.
Destroyed all Ning's expectations...
"Father!" Looking at Yu Ruiwen who came in, Yu Xi bowed gracefully.
Yu Ruiwen sat down and nodded, and asked the boy to bring the food basket over: "Since it's what you like to drink, you can drink it yourself. It doesn't matter whether you drink it for your father or not."
"I heard that my father had a bad appetite and didn't want to eat, so my daughter thought about mung bean soup to clear away heat and relieve the heat. It tastes great when mixed. Knowing that her father doesn't like to drink sweet foods, she specially made it lighter. The mung beans brought by Jiangnan
"Grandma used to drink it and it was very good, so she specially asked me to come here."
Yu Xijiao smiled and asked Qingyue to take the food basket, took out the soup can and poured two bowls out.
