Chapter 15
Seeing the person arrive, Master Wen stood up and greeted, "The third young master is here." He then turned around and asked the servants to prepare a seat.
Xie Shao stood there without moving.
"Is the Third Young Master coming home today?" Pei Yuanqiu asked Mr. Wen in front of him. After getting a confirmation, he laughed and said, "I just saw my nephew at your house yesterday. I didn't expect to meet him again today." He raised his arm and swept his wide sleeves, turned his head and called Xie Shao enthusiastically, "Xianyi, come and sit down."
Xie Shao smiled and said, "Uncle Pei is busy, so I won't bother you anymore."
"Minister Wen and I are both from Fengcheng. We came back together this time. We are just chatting about family matters. Why should we disturb you?"
One was the Minister of the Dali Temple, and the other was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works. As they served in the same dynasty, they were naturally familiar with each other.
Xie Shao still did not move. He raised the young lady's brocade hanging on his arm and said apologetically, "My wife's brocade cape is still in my hand. Let's talk to Uncle Pei another day."
Ignoring Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen's attempts to persuade him to stay, Xie Shao turned around and returned the same way he came.
After leaving the yard, the unruly look in Xie Shao's eyes instantly faded, and he turned his head and said to Min Zhang, "Send a letter to the old man."
Min Zhang took two steps forward and hurried to his side. Xie Shao whispered in his ear, "Just tell him that the monk can escape but the temple cannot. Someone is targeting his son."
When Pei Shaoqing said that day that there was a Prince Jing in Fengcheng, Xie Shao realized that he, Xie Pushe, had made a wrong choice of the place to retire to. Even though Prince Jing was just an adopted son, the prince of Dongdu had no intention of letting him go.
Min Zhang was honest and efficient, and never took any time to complete a task. "I'll give the order right away."
When Xie Shao looked up, Min Zhang had already turned around and walked quickly towards the door for a long distance.
Xie Shao: ...
That's all.
After Min Zhang left, he was left alone. He didn't know where the road ahead led to, so he pulled a passing maid to ask, "Which is the second lady's yard?"
All the servants in the mansion knew that there was a guest at home today. The maid raised her head and glanced at Xie Shao's face quickly, guessing that it was the son-in-law of the Xie family, and led the person directly to the gate of the Second Lady's courtyard.
After Wen Shuse got married, the maids and servants in the courtyard were reassigned to work elsewhere. There was no one at the door or inside.
Xie Shao went in quietly and was looking around for someone when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the wall, "Why did you marry Xie San?"
Xie Shao turned his head and saw a girl standing on top of a wooden ladder. She was leaning on the wall, and her light yellow skirt fluttered lightly on the steps. "Don't mention him. He is simply a nightmare."
There was a red lacquered column next to her. Xie Shao did not disturb her. He leaned against the top of the column, intending to listen carefully to her nightmare.
The people above were completely unaware of this, and Xiangyun below was concentrating on holding the ladder and didn't notice it either.
"You are so pitiful. Did he... do anything to you?" Ming Wanrou was lying on the wall on the other side of the alley. The flesh on her face had shrunk after not seeing her for a long time, and there was a look of sympathy on her face.
"That's not the case." In fact, he was not as miserable as she thought, and then comforted her, "Let me tell you, he is actually a fool, and he was cheated out of a lot of money."
Unexpectedly, Ming Wanrou became even sadder. "It's okay for her to be a playboy, but how can she be a fool?" If she hadn't been on the wooden ladder, she would have beaten her chest and stamped her feet, feeling sorry for her. "That day, when my second brother heard the news that you were marrying Xie San, he came back and locked himself in his room. He didn't eat for a whole day."
Wen Shu was stunned.
Thinking of the face of the second son of the Ming family, she suddenly felt as if she had a secret relationship with him, and said with concern, "Then you should go and persuade him to eat well."
Ming Wanrou nodded, "I persuaded him, and fortunately he recovered..."
"If he still can't let go, tell him that I was forced by the situation and I am no longer destined to be with him. But there are always better fish in the sea, so just let him find someone similar."
Xie Shao below couldn't hold back the mockery in his heart, and turned his head away and made a "tsk" sound.
It happened that Aunt Qing came out of the house after finishing her work. She saw her son-in-law leaning against the red pillar opposite. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw her wife climbing up the ladder.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the young lady on the ladder continued, "What about you? How are you? Have the Zhou family come to propose marriage? I don't know if the piece of flesh on Zhou Kuang's butt has healed yet. I didn't expect that they are afraid of dogs. Everyone knows that the two big black dogs in your family are afraid of even cats. It was a mess that day, and I don't know if it was the dogs that scared people, or people who scared the dogs. It really made me laugh to death." He was so excited that he couldn't control himself and laughed out loud twice.
"Madam." Aunt Qing's face changed with fear, and she hurriedly went forward to call Wen Shuse, "Second Madam, Second Madam..."
Xiangyun heard Aunt Qing's call first. He turned around, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and hurriedly called out, "Madam..."
Wen Shuse hadn't smiled like this for a long time, and her cheeks were sore. Finally, she heard someone calling her in her ear. The cracked corners of her lips could not bear it for a while, so she looked down casually.
The man leaning against the red pillar had eyes as sharp as knives, chilling him to the bone.
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the earth split apart.
Thunder struck his head, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and he almost fell off the ladder.
Ming Wanrou on the other side was completely unaware of the situation. "You don't even know this yet. The day after you went to the manor, the Zhou family came to propose marriage. What kind of fate do we have? How did we both get entangled with such a playboy..."
"Gaoxian." Seeing that she didn't respond, Ming Wanrou called out again, "Gaoxian...why don't you find a chance to say bad things about me in front of Xie San? It will definitely get to Master Zhou's ears, and he will ask Madam Zhou to cancel the engagement..."
Wen Shuse regained consciousness abruptly, fearing that Ming Wanrou would say too much, he winked at her, but his eyes were almost twitching, and Ming Wanrou didn't understand, "How about this, when you come out, we'll make an appointment, and I'll bring Dahei and Erhei over to scare them..."
Wen Shuse's face looked ashen.
The soul had already been scattered and there was no sound. The people in the yard below responded for her, "Don't worry, Madam Ming. I will definitely pass on your message."
Ming Wanrou on the other side finally stopped talking, staring blankly at Wen Shuse who looked pale, and asked hopefully, "Who is it?"
Wen Shuse was speechless and opened his mouth woodenly, "Thank you, San."
After a moment of silence, Ming Wanrou's head disappeared from the top of the wall in a flash.
Wen Shuse slowly came down the ladder. The lover in the yard had long disappeared, taking her brocade cape with him. When the cool wind blew, Wen Shuse hugged her arms and shuddered violently, "It's over."
