Chapter 94: Deep Love between Master and Servant
He turned around and looked at Duke Lu: "Dad, you don't have to scold your son. If you don't like it, the princess and I can move to the princess's mansion at any time."
Chen Shurong originally wanted to watch the show, but after being disturbed by him, she could only pretend to be frightened by him, looked at him stupidly, and followed him out.
The Duke pretended to be so angry with his son that he vomited blood, and he covered his chest and cried.
Looking at the backs of the young couple, the Duke's wife felt like she had aged a few years.
She glared at Xie Yunzhao fiercely, and still had to clean up his mess. When would these two sons stop giving her worries?
"Wan'er, this is all mother's fault. Your second brother has been like this since he was young. He doesn't obey discipline. He treats mother like this all the time. It's not directed at you."
"I thought getting married would be better, but he still behaves like this. Don't take it personally. If you want to investigate, I will cooperate with you and do whatever you say."
Li Wan'er was really mad. She had never suffered such an injustice since she was a child. Now that she was married, she had to listen to the scolding from her brother-in-law!
But her husband didn't say a word for her.
The Duke's wife came over and took her arm, kicking Xie Yunzheng and asking, "What are you sitting there for like an idiot?" "Why don't you send someone to cooperate with Wan'er to investigate?"
Xie Yunzheng stood up and sent Chi Xiao to cooperate with her in the investigation, starting from Chaohui Courtyard.
Li Wan'er cried for a while, but decided to stop while she was ahead. Her husband promised to help her investigate, and her mother-in-law also admitted her second brother's mistake. It was obvious that he would not be punished. What was the point of her crying anymore?
She had only heard about it before, but now that she had seen it for herself, she finally realized how bad Xie Yunzhao really was.
But he was right about one thing: Li Shuang hadn't left yet.
The Duke's wife kept Xie Yunzheng, dismissed the servants, and spoke to him heart to heart, asking him to respect and love his wife.
Wan'er was making such a fuss, firstly because of her personality, and secondly because what she said was the truth, not just hearsay.
Husband and wife should get along well with each other. If she believes that you love her, she will not care about what others say.
Xie Yunzheng suddenly envied Xie Yunzhao, who lived such a free life. When had he ever taken his parents' words seriously?
His eyelashes drooped, and he didn't want to argue and replied: "Yes, mother, son knows."
Chaohui Courtyard was in chaos. All the servants were gathered together, regardless of gender, those who did menial work, those who swept the house, and those who took care of the body. They were all there, hunched over, breathing very weakly.
Chi Xiao held a whip in his hand and slapped it again and again. He walked back and forth twice, and all the servants began to tremble.
"I have something to ask you. Anyone who dares to lie knows my methods."
How dare the servants? They all shook their heads.
"Tell me, who spread the news that the prince didn't go into the backyard?"
Everyone shook their heads in denial again.
Li Wan'er in the main room almost spit out her tea. Is this how you ask the question?
Why did it feel even more uncomfortable to hear him ask that?
Asking Xiuhe to pass on the message, Chixiao heard it and asked again: "Who said that Jinzhi is the prince's confidant?"
Li Wan'er felt upset, but she thought, forget it, just let him be.
The servants looked at each other, and a few of the cleaning ladies felt guilty. They had indeed discussed it, but no one had told anyone else.
Chi Xiao noticed that several people were avoiding his gaze, so he walked over with narrowed eyes and cracked his whip: "Tell the truth, do you really want to be whipped?"
Suddenly, a maid fell to her knees and said, "Master Chi Xiao, I know who it is!"
......
When Xie Yun came back, Chi Xiao had already got the result.
"Jinzhi?"
"Yes, Master, some girls heard Jin Zhi say it herself, that she is the Master's confidant. So, they suspected that Jin Zhi was just making up rumors in order to get into the Master's backyard."
Xie Yunzheng frowned, obviously not quite believing it.
Li Wan'er came out and sneered, "Sir, don't you believe it? She is not a good person."
Xie Yunzheng really didn't expect that Jin Zhi would have such thoughts, and he didn't like being deceived, so he said with an unpleasant expression: "Bring Jin Zhi to see me."
Li Wan'er was feeling proud just now, but immediately she felt nervous, fearing that she couldn't get the person up now.
She knelt slightly and bowed, saying, "How can I trouble you with such a trivial matter? I will deal with her."
"That's good. Ask clearly to avoid wrongly accusing people."
"Prince, if it is really Jin Zhi?"
"If it's really her, even if she's given twenty strokes of the cane, Linfengju won't be able to find fault with her."
"Yes, I understand." Li Wan'er turned and left with a faint smile on her lips. Twenty boards were ordered by the prince and had nothing to do with her.
Jin Zhi, who was in the woodshed, had just applied the medicine that Li Wan'er had kindly left for her and hadn't even finished her bowl of porridge when she was beaten with twenty boards again. It would take her ten days or half a month to recover.
Li Wan'er felt that this result was very credible.
…
Xie Yunzhao took Chen Shurong to climb the mountain. How could he let Xie Yunzhao's mess waste Rongrong's time? Wouldn't it be good for the two of them to relax happily for a day?
The winding mountain path is lined with lush forests on both sides. Points of light shine through the gaps between the branches and leaves, and the ground is covered with fragmented spots of light.
The breeze blew, the leaves rustled, the man's big hand held the smooth and delicate little hand, and they walked slowly accompanied by the singing of birds.
Chen Shurong was wearing light clothes today, and the hairpins on her head were not as heavy as usual, but in Xie Yunzhao's eyes, she was more beautiful than the flaming flowers.
She was tall, but only reached his shoulders. When she felt tired, she would lean on him for a while.
He wanted to carry her on his back, but was rejected.
She thought that the road should be walked by two people side by side.
"How does Li Shuang arrange it?"
"Minister Li asked to send her away, but she has been ill."
"This... doesn't that offend Minister Li?"
"It's okay. Who is my elder brother? He is the future Duke of Lu. Why would I be afraid of a mere minister?"
"Since you are not afraid, just accept it. Cousin Li Shuang is really pitiful."
"Yes, as her cousin, I also feel sorry for her."
Halfway up the mountain, the maids spread out mats and set out fruits and tea.
Chen Shurong suddenly felt sad and thought of Jin Zhi: "I don't know how my sister-in-law will treat Jin Zhi. I believe in her."
"I don't think I saw Jinzhi today. My sister-in-law didn't bring her out."
"We will meet tomorrow when we are reunited. My sister-in-law will not give me such face. Don't be sad. If she doesn't let me see you, I will take you to Chaohuiyuan to see you."
Shen Shurong smiled and thanked.
Xie Yunzhao touched her nose: "What are you thanking me for? I know that you two have a deep relationship as master and servant!"
The servants who were accompanying them were all moved. It would be a great blessing for them if they could be remembered by the princess.
Shen Shurong was in a good mood, and when Xie Yunzhao asked people to go away, she leaned into his arms.
As long as the two of them were together, she was obsessed with him like a boneless person.
He got used to it and was very happy.
"Husband, do you think I'm cruel?" he said to Jin Zhi.
Xie Yunzhao raised his hand and pushed back the hair that was blowing in front of her face: "No, she dared to use you and be unfaithful to you." If it were him, he would kill her directly.
Chen Shurong chuckled, so the two of them are the best match.
"The situation in Linzhou is getting better and better, but the bandit problem needs to be solved. I may have to go to Linzhou again before the end of the month."
“Do I need to go in person?”
"I want to go." She had never led troops before, although not many times, but she wanted to try.
