Chapter 137 Madam, are you satisfied?
Wei Lingze was invited into the front hall of the Xiao family. Xiao's father accompanied him for tea. Not long after, Xiao Qinghe appeared in front of him.
After not seeing each other for quite a while, Xiao Qinghe looked thinner than when he went to Yunshan Temple, but he was obviously in much better spirits and no longer as lifeless as before.
Seeing her appear at the Xiao family unharmed, Wei Lingze felt relieved, but his eyes were still glued to Xiao Qinghe.
From the end of the selection of the champion of Wuyou Pavilion to now, Xiao Qinghe has had time to rush to the Xiao family.
Where on earth had she gone tonight?
Xiao Qinghe didn't look at Wei Lingze, but stepped forward and bowed to Xiao's father: "Father."
Father Xiao already understood what had happened and sullenly rebuked, "Why didn't you tell Ze'er you were going back to your mother's house? You didn't even bring Quezhi with you, making Ze'er come looking for you so late at night? When did you become so willful and reckless?"
"My daughter knows she is wrong and asks for her forgiveness, father."
Xiao Qinghe admitted his mistake obediently and did not make any excuses.
Father Xiao understood his daughter. She was a sensible person. If something unpleasant hadn't happened between her and Wei Lingze, she wouldn't have come home for no reason. Father Xiao didn't continue to blame Xiao Qinghe. Instead, he turned to Wei Lingze and said, "He'er has been spoiled by us. I hope you, my dear son-in-law, will be more tolerant of her. Her mother has cried secretly several times since she got married."
Father Xiao sighed as he spoke.
He didn't feel comfortable asking the young couple what had happened. He just hoped that Wei Lingze would treat Xiao Qinghe well in the future and that they could live a good life, which was better than anything else.
Hearing the meaning of Xiao's father's words, Wei Lingze knew that Xiao Qinghe had not told anyone about the miscarriage, and immediately took all the responsibility on himself: "Don't blame He'er, I think too much. She has been very close to Madam Shen these days. I was afraid that Madam Shen would lead her astray, so I made a fuss."
As soon as Wei Lingze finished speaking, Chunxi strolled in. "What do you mean, nephew-in-law? I've been taking care of you for three years, taking care of your shit and urine. Have I become an unforgivable person in your eyes?"
In the past, Wei Lingze felt that the three years of serving Chunxi was Chunxi's weakness that could not be mentioned. Now that Chunxi always talked about it, he realized that this was an embarrassing past that could not be mentioned.
Wei Lingze couldn't help but feel angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "My people found out that you bought a ticket to Wuyou Pavilion to watch the final selection. You also disappeared with He'er. Shouldn't I be worried?"
"Worry-Free Pavilion, what kind of place is that? My nephew-in-law said I bought their damn ticket, but do you have any evidence? And how did my nephew-in-law know about Wuyou Pavilion?"
Chunxi blinked, looking innocent and confused.
Wei Lingze was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
If he had evidence, he would have gone straight to the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion and asked Mrs. Mo to divorce Chunxi on the charge of being a slut. How could he possibly argue with her here?
"You know whether you did it or not!"
Wei Lingze's tone was fierce, but because he had no evidence, he had no momentum. Chunxi immediately looked at Xiao's father with grievance and said, "Cousin, you have to make the decision for me. That Wuyou Pavilion doesn't sound like a good place. How can I face people in the future when my nephew-in-law slanders me like this?"
Chunxi stamped her feet after she finished speaking. She didn't have the cuteness of a little girl, her tone was full of threats.
Father Xiao still remembered how she had caused a scene at Old Madam Xiao's birthday party, and he had also heard a lot about her deeds recently. His eyelids twitched, and he was inexplicably afraid that Chunxi would cause a scene in the Xiao family if she was dissatisfied.
Thinking of Madam Xiao's preference for Shen Qingyuan, Father Xiao coughed lightly and reprimanded Wei Lingze in a low voice: "Ze'er, she is your aunt after all. You shouldn't talk to her like that."
"What my father-in-law said is true, but I really found out that she..."
"My nephew-in-law keeps saying that he found out that I had connections with Wuyou Pavilion. Feel free to produce witnesses and physical evidence, or you can even see me at the scene tonight. Otherwise, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'll kill myself right here."
Chunxi was very confident. After saying this, he hugged the pillar again and tried to commit suicide.
Wei Lingze wanted to say something else when Shen Qingyuan walked in under the guidance of a servant. Seeing Chunxi like this, his face immediately turned cold and he looked at Wei Lingze: "I wonder what my wife did wrong that my nephew-in-law wants to force her to die?"
Wei Lingze: “…”? ? ?
She's obviously throwing a tantrum. Are you blind and can't you see that, old man?
Wei Lingze couldn't hold back his anger and told Shen Qingyuan about Chunxi going to Wuyou Pavilion to buy tickets. He thought that as a man, Shen Qingyuan would definitely be suspicious and angry, but Shen Qingyuan didn't react at all. He asked calmly, "Does my nephew have any evidence?"
“…”
Wei Lingze was choked and couldn't help rolling his eyes, but then he thought it was normal. Shen Qingyuan and Chunxi were just pretending to be a couple, they were not really husband and wife, so it was normal for Shen Qingyuan not to care about Chunxi looking for a young waiter.
Maybe it was because Shen Qingyuan was too old to satisfy Chunxi, so Chunxi went to Wuyou Pavilion to have fun?
Thinking this way, Wei Lingze's anger dissipated for the most part, and he even felt a bit superior. However, the next moment, he heard Shen Qingyuan say, "Everyone loves beauty. My wife and I have a very close relationship. Even if my wife really went to Wuyou Pavilion, she just wanted to see the excitement. My nephew-in-law is so nervous. Could it be that he treats He'er badly and is afraid that He'er will change her mind if she sees a better man?"
These words hit Wei Lingze's sore spot, and his sense of superiority collapsed.
During the few hours when he couldn't find Xiao Qinghe, he was indeed feeling unprecedented panic, fearing that Xiao Qinghe would be with another man.
Even if Xiao Qinghe was just seeking revenge, he couldn't accept it.
Wei Lingze glared at Shen Qingyuan fiercely, grabbed Xiao Qinghe's hand and said, "I'm just worried about He'er's safety. Stop trying to sow discord between me and He'er."
After saying this, Wei Lingze said goodbye to Xiao's father and left with Xiao Qinghe.
When they got out of the carriage, Wei Lingze couldn't help but continue asking, "He'er, where did you go today?"
"Since you don't believe me, does it matter what I say?"
Xiao Qinghe asked back. Wei Lingze frowned, then softened his tone, thinking of Yun's instructions: "Of course I believe you, but Cao Chunxi is a scheming person. I'm afraid you'll be deceived by her..."
"I can still tell who is good to me and who is not. You don't need to worry about me."
Xiao Qinghe interrupted directly with a very tough attitude and his words were full of sarcasm.
Wei Lingze felt a tightness in his chest, but he was afraid of irritating Xiao Qinghe and making their relationship worse, so he could only force himself to hold back and not say anything.
In the darkness, Xiao Qinghe quietly released his clenched fists.
Just dealt with it.
What my aunt said is right. If I look at a few more men before facing Wei Lingze, it won’t be so sad.
On the other side, Chunxi also followed Shen Qingyuan into the carriage. She flattered him very attentively: "My husband was so great just now. He supported me and almost pissed off that bastard. I felt so happy just watching him. But didn't my husband say that he would have dinner with several officials from the Censorate tonight? How come it ended so quickly and he even came to the Xiao family to pick me up?"
Chunxi chattered non-stop, but Shen Qingyuan never responded.
After quieting down, Chunxi keenly sensed something was amiss, and then heard Shen Qingyuan's obviously cold voice: "Madam, were you satisfied with tonight's performance?"
“…”!!!
My lord, how did you know that?
