In fact, Xie Songhua had already thought clearly that the reason for falling into the water was nothing more than a quarrel between the sisters.
Among them, Xie Li was naturally the most guilty, and Xie Sihua was not clear about it.
But in the final analysis, several sisters quarreled because of a foreign man, which led to the sisters falling into the water together, which somewhat damaged the Xie family's face.
No matter whether it is Xie Yuncang or the old lady, they will only have a bad feeling for these girls in their hearts.
What's more important is that Xie Songhua can either protect herself and tell everything about the situation at that time. In this way, she will naturally be the least guilty, but Xie Li is afraid that she will be severely punished, and the face of the girl's family has been completely lost. I am afraid that Shen Siguan will be punished in the future.
None can go.
Then the feud between her and Xie Li was finally settled.
Or, she could grit her teeth and endure this matter, but in this case, these people would think that she was easy to bully, and she didn't know how much trouble there would be in the future.
It's not that she hasn't heard the rumors in the past few days, it's just that she knows that rumors cannot be discerned with one mouth, so she hides them and waits for the opportunity.
The opportunity was about to come now, so she simply revealed the matter, not talking about Xie Li and Xie Sihua's insignificant remarks, but only talking about the rumors in the past few days.
This is to go straight to the root cause and wash away the sewage on your body.
As for falling into the water, it would be best to see the egret squeeze in accidentally.
Just now, everyone only said that the accident was caused by seeing the egret. Now Xie Li brought out the cause of the incident, and everything became clear.
The old lady immediately asked sternly: "Where did the personal relationship come from?!"
Xie Li breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing this, his heart was lifted again, and he quickly said: "I... I was just passing by the garden when I heard some women say, look... I saw the fourth sister and the young father-in-law.
Talking, and seeing that the young father-in-law always speaks for the fourth sister in class, then..."
"My grandmother and father knew that my young father-in-law's temperament was... offbeat. Songhua came from the countryside, which inevitably made him feel strange, so he asked me a few things about the countryside.
As for speaking up for me, I don’t even know where to start. I have a poor foundation, and I can’t keep up with my sisters in my studies. I also don’t understand a lot during class. My young father-in-law may be a little confused.
Out of compassion, he casually gave me a few words, "Sixth Sister teaches me more on weekdays, why don't you say that Sixth Sister always speaks for me?"
Xie Tu hurriedly said: "Grandma, uncle, and Xiao Liu can testify that although the young master behaves a little unruly in class on weekdays, he did give some advice to the fourth sister, but there is absolutely no behavior that violates the rules. Not only Xiao Liu, but also Xiao Liu,
Everyone in the Shensi Institute can testify."
She continued: "These days, I don't know where the rumors started. They vaguely talk about the fourth sister and the young father-in-law. In fact, the fourth sister goes to the Shensi Museum with us every day, and we go together after school.
I came back together, and the rest of the time, it was in full public view, so I really don’t know where to start such rumors."
After hearing what she said, the old lady angrily said to Mr. Qi, "Do you know about this?!"
It was also the first day that Mrs. Qi heard this and stood up quickly, "My daughter-in-law was unintentional."
"An oversight?! This young prince from the British government is their lifeblood. He has put so much effort into choosing a school for so many years, but it's just because our Shensi Institute has produced several exams over the years, and he trusts them.
Because of our family tradition, we let the young father-in-law come over.
If gossips about our Xie family's girls and our young father-in-law are spread now, and others only think that our Shensi Museum is a place for choosing sons-in-law for our girls, will my Xie family's face be lost? Your husband's reputation will be lost.
No more?!"
Mrs. Qi's face suddenly turned pale. These words were too serious. She, even the matron of the family, couldn't bear it, so she immediately knelt down and said, "Old madam, please calm down. It's my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law will be investigated thoroughly!"
"
As soon as she knelt down, it was difficult for the others to sit down, even Wen and An stood up.
Xie Yuncang's eyes swept over her body coolly, and then he said coldly: "That's it for today, you sisters just watched the egret accidentally fall into the water.
But the girl's family has finally lost its restraint and will punish none of you to copy ten Analects of Confucius and hand them over to Mengpoju in three days."
Xie Li and Xie Sihua both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. After all, this punishment could be regarded as a narrow escape for them.
Xie Songhua didn't think anything of it, since she had to practice calligraphy every day anyway.
As for Xie Li and Xie Sihua, two little girls who looked like elementary school chickens, she actually didn't take them to heart.
"Recently, the atmosphere in the house has become worse and worse. The fate of the four girls, then Zhang's death, and the matter of Brother An are now being discussed in the Shensi Pavilion. I'm afraid that the Xie family will
You will be defeated by the mouths of these people!"
Xie Yuncang's tone was extremely stern, he must have been really angry. Looking at the kneeling Qi, he suppressed a third of his anger and said, "The source of this matter must be eliminated!"
Because of Aunt Zhang's incident, there was already a gap between Qi and her husband. Later, because of her son's reconciliation and her handling of the matter appropriately, the previous incident was brought to an end.
During this period of time, although everything seems to be calm, Xie Yuncang's visits to the main courtyard have become less and less. Others don't know it, but she herself knows it well.
After all, the master was still annoyed with her, and now that this incident happened again, if she couldn't handle it properly, the old lady would probably accuse her later.
"Okay, you are all frightened too, so go back first!"
After the old lady spoke, the group of kneeling people dared to get up.
Xie Songhua said goodbye to Xie Tu and walked into the yard when she heard Xie Yuncang's voice, "Four girls, come out with me."
Xie Songhua knew that he was going to ask about the bead.
Amid the inquiring, curious, or unhappy eyes of everyone, Xie Songhua lowered his head and followed Xie Yuncang into Mengpo Residence.
This time I didn't go to the inner courtyard, but to Xie Yuncang's study in the outer courtyard.
When she entered, Xie Yuncang had already sat down, with the bead in front of him.
"Tell me! Tell me exactly what you encountered today."
Xie Songhua felt a little guilty. The woman came so quickly that she didn't have much time to ask Yu Ruzhuo.
Therefore, I can only tell what I know.
"To be honest, I don't know how I fell into the water. I was standing in front of the railing and was suddenly pushed and pulled down.
But fortunately, I learned how to swim in the water when I was a child. At that time, a large group of people came down, and if you pulled me, it would lead to bad things, so I thought of swimming to the other side and climbing up first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I swam away from the crowd, I felt something was wrong. There was actually someone pulling my leg under the water to drag me down."
