Chapter 63 Let's continue the misunderstanding
In the study room at the back court, the windows and doors were tightly closed, and light filtered through the green gauze windows, making the inner room extremely bright.
Jiang Yuzhu was in a bad condition and felt dizzy.
When Xie Zhao heard that Jiang Yuzhu had come, he thought she was here to urge him to facilitate the marriage between Jia Xinglin and Wei Jing.
In the past two days, Emperor Xiao She often disappeared. After the morning court, Xie Zhao went to the imperial study twice, but found nothing both times.
Since he had promised to help Jiang Yuzhu, he had to explain a few words.
The room was quiet and filled with the aroma of tea.
Xie Zhao walked in and found Jiang Yuzhu lying on the table, so he said, "Give me three days, and I will solve this matter."
Jiang Yuzhu was bent over her desk, not listening to a single word.
No matter how cold and clear Xie Zhao's voice was, it still sounded like a buzzing fly when the pain became unbearable.
Jiang Yuzhu was so angry that she wanted to kick Xie Zhao out, but suddenly she remembered that this was Xie Zhao's territory and she immediately lost her confidence.
A quarter of an hour later, Xie Zhao was still in the room.
Jiang Yuzhu had to stand up and ask, "Is the master not busy?"
Because of the pain in her lower abdomen, Jiang Yuzhu's voice was cold and a little hoarse than usual.
Afterwards, she ignored Xie Zhao and pushed the door open and left.
Xie Zhao stared at her back, then turned his head and lowered his eyes to look at the corner of the table where she was working.
There was a shiny tea table in the study, with water marks on the corners.
Looking closely, it was the handprint left by Jiang Yuzhu while she was lying down.
It wasn't a hot spring day, but her palms were sweating. Was she sick?
Xie Zhao followed him out of the yard unconsciously, his eyes following the familiar figure as he got on the carriage, until the carriage turned the corner and disappeared from his sight.
There was a large carriage parked in the corner of the back hall. It looked familiar and seemed to be the carriage of the Xie Mansion in Jiangnan.
Could it be that any family members have come to Beijing?
Xie Zhao stood there for a while and then returned to the study. He picked up the teacup that Jiang Yuzhu had used.
The tea had gone cold and tasted inexplicably bitter.
Seeing Liang An peeking out, Xie Zhao ordered, "Go back to the mansion and ask the kitchen to cook some tonic for Madam, and add some candied fruits."
After drinking the bitter medicine soup, you must eat candied fruit to sweeten your mouth.
Liang An was stunned: "What happened to the Madam?"
In fact, Liang An wanted to ask the master what was wrong with him. He had not cared about him for three years after their marriage and suddenly asked the kitchen to send him some supplements.
So Liang An added, "Poisoned?"
Xie Zhao: "..."
Even the servants around him doubted his intentions. Xie Zhao's mouth twitched slightly: "Liang An, is there anything wrong with me caring about my wife?"
Liang An looked very conflicted, and after a while he decided to tell the truth: "You should have asked this question earlier, instead of more than three years later. You suddenly asked it, which is a bit like a weasel paying New Year's greeting to a chicken."
After Liang An finished speaking, he slipped away.
At the gate of the back yamen, Nanny Shen retracted her head and said uncertainly: "Madam, this old servant always feels that the young master just looked at the direction of the carriage in a complicated way. We should be exposed."
Shen was not surprised: "Just now, Yuzhu came out and covered her lower abdomen, her face looked even worse, could it be that she was beaten by Yuanhe?"
It is unjust for a man to use violence!
Shen had never doubted her son, but the letters from Xie Xuan and Shen Zhilan caused Shen's faith to collapse.
Shen decided to go to Shen Zhilan to inquire about the situation first, and then return to Xie Mansion to take care of her daughter-in-law.
At least, a mother-in-law should always know what her daughter-in-law likes.
Shen Zhilan was learning a skill in the countryside. When she heard that her aunt was coming to the capital, she was almost frightened.
Aunt Shen seems to have a good temper, but she is actually a very stubborn person. She also has some tricks that make the concubines in the back house behave like quails.
"Zhilan, auntie has something to ask you."
When facing her niece, Shen was much more direct and poured out all the questions in her mind.
Ever since Shen Zhilan came to terms with her feelings, she has come to respect, envy and be grateful for Jiang Yuzhu, and has long regarded her as a close friend.
In order to speak for Jiang Yuzhu, Shen Zhilan could only step on her cousin Xie Zhao, who was like the snow in the mountains and the moon in the clouds and seemed a little out of reach.
"Aunt, you're here just in time. You must take care of my cousin!"
Chen Zhilan defended Jiang Yuzhu domineeringly, "My cousin's wife is the best woman I have ever seen. If she hadn't married my cousin, her reputation wouldn't have been so bad. Isn't it those little hooves who wanted to marry my cousin who smeared her? Especially Wei Jing!"
Shen Zhilan opened up and told everything that had happened since she came to Beijing.
"At the Wei Mansion birthday banquet, my cousin's wife defended me and I was almost framed by Wei Jing. Even so, my cousin's wife still helped Lu Qingxue cover it up. Who can do this?"
If it were Shen Zhilan, she would definitely expose Lu Qingxue's scars to protect herself, no matter her reputation, since she didn't kill the person.
"And what does Miss Zhang's matter have to do with my cousin's wife?"
Shen Zhilan took Wei Jing out and whipped her up and down, her eyes darkening.
"No wonder I collided with the Wei Mansion's carriage as soon as I entered the capital yesterday!"
As the mistress of a prominent family in Jiangnan, Shen is not simple, but rather has a very deep mind.
With Shen Zhilan's words, Shen was sure that she was being schemed by Wei Jing, and said lightly: "This Wei Jing has some thoughts, pretending to be like a little white flower, but her intentions are not right."
Such people are not worthy of entering the Xie family.
It is said that the old emperor granted marriages at random in the past, but now it seems that only the old emperor has a keen eye for talent.
Jiang Yuzhu is obviously the rarest and most precious pearl.
Shen Zhilan agreed very much, and she grabbed Shen's arm and said, "Aunt, Zhilan begs you, please don't arrange a concubine for my cousin. He is even distant and cold to his cousin's wife..."
"Okay, am I that jealous of others?"
Concubines are just servants. If her son doesn't like them, Shen can't force them to go to her. Why would she want to make others dislike her?
The key now is to promote the relationship between Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu and change Xie Zhao's homosexuality.
Shen Zhilan was shocked: My cousin is gay? It seems my aunt misunderstood.
Since it's a misunderstanding, let it continue to be a misunderstanding. Anyway, Shen Zhilan is on Jiang Yuzhu's side, and she won't speak for her cousin.
But in order to prevent the truth from coming out in the future and Aunt Shen misunderstanding Jiang Yuzhu, Shen Zhilan had to make up for it in advance: "Aunt, my cousin's wife is very concerned about my cousin, you must not say these things."
From her words, it can be seen that Jiang Yuzhu is willing to give.
Shen nodded secretly: "How could I say that? It's a shame."
Since Shen came to the capital, she would definitely visit the Jiang residence and would definitely send some valuable gifts.
So, she consulted with Shen Zhilan.
Xie Zhao ignored Shen's intention of coming to Beijing.
It was noon and the sun was bright. There was nothing to do in the government office, so Xie Zhao rode into the palace and successfully captured Xiao She who had just returned from wandering outside.
Since getting the human skin mask, Xiao She has been free to leave the palace. He can conceal his identity very well and has become addicted to the game.
Xie Zhao went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Xiao She was very surprised: "Yuan He, what are you so anxious about? Has a war started in the north?"
Xie Zhao said calmly: "There is no war in the north yet, but there is a fire in my backyard. If you don't grant Miss Wei a marriage, Yuzhu will make a scene."
If Jiang Yuzhu makes a big fuss, she will definitely go up to the roof and tear down the tiles, and there will never be peace in the Xie family.
"Yuzhu said that she wanted to demolish my study and use it to raise pigs."
Xie Zhao remained calm and repeated Jiang Yuzhu's joke.
When Xiao She heard that Wei Jing was to be married to Jia Xinglin, he jumped out of the dragon chair and said, "Yuanhe, did I hear correctly? Wei Shoufu is your mentor. How could you have the heart to push his beloved daughter into the fire pit?"
