Chapter 719: It seems not bad
Mrs. Xia settled Tang Bao and others, and then she got on the carriage and returned home with a worried look on her face.
I was thinking, why not go home and talk to my master about moving in with the Su family, so I can take care of the kids...
Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Xia returned home, she found Magistrate Xia in the backyard, pacing around angrily.
Mrs. Xia was shocked.
My master has always been calm and measured, and rarely gets so angry.
"Master, what happened?" Mrs. Xia asked hurriedly.
Magistrate Xia did not answer Madam Xia's question. Instead, he asked with a sullen face, "Where is Xia Siming?"
Mrs. Xia's heart skipped a beat.
——Call your son by his full name!
"I sent Ming'er to the Su Mansion." Madam Xia's heart was in a knot. She asked, "Master, what happened? Could it be that Ming'er got into trouble?"
Magistrate Xia slammed the table with a "bang!" and his cheek twitched in pain, and the anger in his heart was almost extinguished by the pain.
Fortunately, when I thought about the rumors I heard today, my anger instantly surged and overwhelmed the pain in my hand.
"That evil creature! I'm so angry! He actually flirted with a girl in public..."
Magistrate Xia was so angry that he was shaking, he didn't even have the face to speak!
"In short, he has completely disgraced the Xia family!"
After saying this angrily, Magistrate Xia sat down and drank a cup of cold tea to calm his anger.
Madam Xia: “…”
impossible!
Zhizi Moruomu!
My son has always been sensible and would never do such a despicable thing!
"Master, where did you hear this rumor?" Madam Xia said, "Those who spread rumors and slander others should be arrested and thrown into prison!"
When Mrs. Xia finished speaking, there was a hint of cruelty in her voice.
As a mother, I absolutely cannot tolerate anyone slandering my son!
Magistrate Xia drank a cup of cold tea, and the anger that had just been suppressed rose again after hearing what Madam Xia said.
"That's what the constables in the government office said!" Prefect Xia said angrily, "Do they dare to fabricate rumors and slander us?"
Don’t you want to be an errand boy?!
Although, those people were talking behind my back and I overheard it inadvertently.
Madam Xia paused.
My master's men would never dare to fabricate rumors to slander my son, so—
"Master, I'm afraid there's some misunderstanding here." Madam Xia said, "Did those people see it with their own eyes? It's not just hearsay..."
"If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, how dare they say such nonsense!" Prefect Xia glared and said, "This matter has spread. Someone in the prefecture must have heard about it!"
Mrs. Xia called Mother Zou in loudly.
After hearing Madam Xia's question, Madam Zou secretly glanced at Magistrate Xia and cautiously replied, "Madam, I just heard a few servants gossiping in the yard..."
Before Mother Zou could finish her words, she saw Mrs. Xia's face change.
So, he quickly said, "Madam, don't worry. I have already severely punished those people and was just about to report to you..."
"Humph! Do you believe it this time?" Magistrate Xia said angrily, "A loving mother often spoils her child!"
Madam Xia glanced at Prefect Xia.
Sarcastic!
I’ve spoiled you!
For some reason, Mrs. Xia thought of Old Mrs. Su.
If something like this happened in the Su family, Old Man Su would definitely pick up a fire poker and beat his son, and would never say a word to Old Lady Su!
Mrs. Xia didn't want to admit it and felt a little sad.
My heart ached and I got angry!
"What's wrong with me loving my son?" Madam Xia's tone hardened. "My son is my daughter. I don't believe he would do something like that! There are plenty of pretty girls in the mansion. Have you ever seen my son even glance at one? He's more self-disciplined than you, his father!"
Mrs. Xia said this at the end, full of pride.
Prefect Xia: "...What do you mean?"
Could it be that he looked at it too much?
Magistrate Xia felt that he was being implied.
"Think about it yourself!" Mrs. Xia said with her chin raised.
Prefect Xia: “…”
I feel like my wife is going to heaven!
Madam Xia no longer paid any attention to her master. She stood up and walked out with the momentum of becoming the master.
"After Ming'er came back from the academy, he went out with Fuya and the others only once the day before yesterday." Madam Xia said as they walked, "If anything really happened, it must have happened that day!"
Even if my son had lost his mind, he would never do anything disrespectful to girls in front of his two younger sisters!
Mrs. Xia is absolutely confident about this!
Magistrate Xia looked at Madam Xia's back and couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"
Can't you see that I'm still angry?
"Go to the Su Mansion!" Mrs. Xia said without turning her head.
Then, he told Mother Zou to lower her head and act like a quail, and follow behind her.
"Pack my things and have them sent to the Su Mansion. I want to stay there for a while!"
Mother Zou: "...Yes, ma'am."
I couldn't help but look back and secretly glanced at the master who was left there by his wife.
The master seemed to be frightened...
Mother Zou muttered to herself: Is the Madam going to have a cold war with the Master? Is she going to run away from home?
Prefect Xia was indeed stunned by the sight of Madam Xia running away from home.
But at the same time, I was shocked and felt it was a bit novel.
After all these years of marriage, his wife has always been gentle, polite and respectful in front of him, and has never been so strong.
This feeling...
Magistrate Xia smacked his lips and thought it was not bad.
Then, he stood up and said, "That evil creature did such a thing. We can't just let it go by hiding away..."
So, he also had to go to the Su Mansion to teach his son a lesson!
The reason is legitimate!
Although Magistrate Xia and his wife rode in the same carriage, Mrs. Xia held her chin high, sat upright, and never looked at Magistrate Xia.
Magistrate Xia glanced at Madam Xia from time to time.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in my mind——
Madam seems to be particularly beautiful today...
Tang Bao didn't expect that her godmother would come back with her godfather just after she left for a while.
Moreover, the atmosphere between godmother and godfather is a little strange.
The godmother looked cold, noble and inviolable.
Even when he walked, he didn't recognize his relatives.
A truly graceful flower from the high mountains!
From time to time, the godfather would glance over...
It makes people feel a little, uh, vulgar...
Tang Bao and Xia Siya came forward together to pay their respects.
Xia Siya asked happily, "Mom, why are you back again?"
Mrs. Xia glanced at her daughter, then turned to ask Tang Bao: "Fuya, godmother wants to ask you, did anything happen when you guys went out on the street that day?"
Her son must be studying. Mrs. Xia didn't want to disturb him, so she decided to ask Tang Bao first.
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said, "Godmother, you want to ask about the incident in the teahouse where my second brother knocked down the eldest daughter of the Zhang family because of me? Speaking of this, it was all caused by a fugitive..."
Tang Bao carefully recounted the misunderstanding that happened that day.
Mrs. Xia suddenly realized.
She said, her son would never do anything like that!
Madam Xia raised her eyebrows at Magistrate Xia, speaking in a tone that was definitely quarrelsome.
"Did you hear that? That's what you said. My son has brought shame upon the Xia family!" Madam Xia raised her voice sarcastically, "Don't you know how prestigious your Xia family is? My son just accidentally bumped into someone else's girl, and you..."
“Ahem!”
Magistrate Xia quickly coughed twice and used his eyes to remind his wife that it was not good to do this in front of the children.
Mrs. Xia's expression changed and she glanced at Tang Bao and Xia Siya.
Then, she suppressed the thought of training her man.
When Magistrate Xia saw that his wife understood his intention, he said, "In that case, go to the Zhang family and propose marriage as soon as possible."
For now, the best way to suppress the rumors is to directly settle the marriage between the two families.
After hearing what Magistrate Xia said, Mrs. Xia subconsciously looked at Tang Bao and suddenly felt sad!
There is no hope for Fu Ya as a daughter-in-law!
When Tang Bao saw her godmother, she suddenly looked at herself wiping tears and was startled.
"Godmother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay."
Mrs. Xia sniffed, took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes.
The secret thought in my heart was completely gone!
