Chapter 753: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
Liu Yunxiang and the other two took their children from the Imperial College, and no one of the six people was in a bad mood. It was okay to just drop out of the Imperial College, but the children could not stop studying.
The three of them all went to Zhenbei Wangfu to go to school. There was a western seat in the mansion. Yan Mu would also teach them martial arts skills, such as riding horses and archery when he was free.
The three of them had just decided to make up, and Mrs. Yunhou and Mrs. Xue Er came out of it.
Mrs. Yunhou is not as humble and polite as she used to pretend. Her face has been dark this morning until now. Especially when she saw Liu Yunxiang, her eyes were full of anger.
Mrs. Xue Er's face was not good at first, but at this moment she was only proud.
"Some people should discipline their children well. They dare to kill people at such a young age. However, the upper beam is not straight, and some are broken from the root, and they are not well taught."
Mrs. Xiao hummed, "No, your Duke Yang Mansion has been ruined from your father-in-law!"
"You, dare you say it again?" Mrs. Xue Er's eyes widened and angry, as if Mrs. Xiao dared to say something again, she was about to rush up to tear her face.
Mrs. Xiao cut, "Your family has a lot of rags. Do you want me to say it one by one?"
"You, tell me!"
"Oh, aren't you afraid of embarrassing?" Mrs. Xiao nodded. She was really not afraid of trouble. She said immediately: "Your father-in-law cheated on his brother and robbed him of his title. It should not be a secret, right?"
"You, you..."
"And your second master lost all your dowry after eating, drinking, drinking, gambling, and you didn't succeed in hanging yourself. Who doesn't know about the streets and alleys that are spreading this?"
Mrs. Xue Er's face turned pale, "Shut up, dare to talk nonsense again, I... I cut your tongue!"
"Ha, do you think I'm afraid?" Mrs. Xiao curled her lips, "I haven't said the most exciting thing yet. Your third uncle insulted your niece..."
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xue Er yelled.
Mrs. Yunhou frowned and said, "You have done something wrong, don't reflect on it, and you are still bullying people here. It's too much."
Mrs. Xiao shrugged, "Mrs. Hou's words are wrong, it's clearly what she asked me to say."
"You shrew!"
"What's wrong with me? It's better than some people who like to pretend, like to act, and think they are actors!"
Mrs. Yunhou's face turned darker because of anger. She shook her sleeves and walked down angrily. But when she passed by Liu Yunxiang, she still couldn't stand it in one breath.
"Last night, my marquis went to your mansion to calm down the matter. It was a fight between children, so there was no need to make a fuss. But we came to the door with tolerance, but you... used the trick of taking down all kinds of tricks to harm the marquis and made him lose face. We will not give up easily in this matter, so you'd better go back and persuade the Seventh Prince to come and apologize!"
Liu Yunxiang tsk, "But we are unintentional."
"You think we're stupid?"
"If this is the case, we might as well spread it out and let everyone judge it. If it is our fault, we will admit it. At worst, we can pay you a few more pairs of pants."
"You!" Mrs. Yun was so angry that her whole body shivered, "You guys wait!"
After saying that, she left with a dark face.
Mrs. Xue Er dared not provoke Mrs. Xiao again. This woman was not afraid of being embarrassed at all, but she couldn't afford to lose her, and the Duke's Mansion could not afford to lose her.
After the two of them left, Su Rumeng held it in for a long time and finally could laugh out loud.
"You two are so good-mouthed, and they cooperate with each other."
Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows at Liu Yunxiang, "Did Yunhou and Xue Er come to your house yesterday?"
Liu Yunxiang also raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Xiao, "What's going on with the niece of Mrs. Xue Hefeng and the second wife?"
After first putting the three children in the palace and handing them over to the west, Liu Yunxiang and the other two sat in the garden while drinking tea and chatting about gossip.
"The second wife's family is the Minister of Works' Mansion. A concubine in the mansion often comes to my shop to buy fragrant powder. Once when we chatted, she accidentally let her mouth go. Xue Hefeng is a beast and likes fresh little girls. The second wife's niece goes to visit her aunt and lives in the mansion, and doesn't want to be targeted by this beast. One night, he harmed the other girl, and the girl hangs her. The Minister's Mansion goes to ask for an explanation. Xue Hefeng slandered the girl who climbed onto his bed while he was drunk. The Duke Yang's Mansion also protects the beast. The second wife also begs her family not to make trouble, saying that she can't live in the mansion in the future."
Su Rumeng frowned, "Is this matter so unresolved?"
Mrs. Xiao sighed in a deep breath, "No, isn't Xue Hefeng the Minister of Personnel? He has set up an official for the nephew of the second wife's family, so that they can block the mouths of these people."
Liu Yunxiang snorted coldly, "Isn't this Duke Yang indulging Xue Hefeng so much? Isn't he afraid that the Duke's Mansion will be implicated by him?"
"Although Xue Hefeng is the third master in the mansion, he is the only one who is the Duke's wife, and the real legitimate son. Duke Yang values this son, and the title of Duke's mansion will be passed to him in the future."
"So that's it."
"So the old man in the house and the female family members dare not offend him too much, so the second wife could only suffer this loss."
"But Xue Hefeng is the legitimate son, so isn't Xue Kong the legitimate grandson? How could he be driven out of the Duke's Mansion? Is it just because the third lady is a criminal? And seeing the second lady and her son, I think I'm bullying this child a lot in the mansion on weekdays." Su Rumeng said inexplicably.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head, "I don't know this."
It is not a big deal for the three children to drop out of school, but people in this circle will definitely know it, and they will unanimously believe that the three children have done something wrong, but they will not admit it. As parents, they not only do not correct it, but also protect their children.
"For nothing else, we have to help the three children fight for justice." Mrs. Xiao said.
Su Rumeng nodded, "Although the three children didn't say anything, they were actually very aggrieved."
Liu Yunxiang exhaled, "You still have to let Xue Kong tell the truth, but he was like a little rabbit and shivered as soon as he saw someone, and he couldn't ask anything at all."
At this moment, they can only wait a little longer, and they may be willing to tell the truth when Xue Kong is no longer so afraid.
When he was having supper, Yan Mu had not come back yet, so Liu Yunxiang asked the housekeeper to send someone to the yamen to take a look.
After waiting for a while, before Yan Mu, the girl Zijin came back. She had gone out early and returned late this time, and Liu Yunxiang had not seen her for several days.
"Didn't the girl let me stare at the boy? I've been following him recently."
"Follow him?"
"Yes, if I follow him, he can't throw dirty things into our mansion."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Does he know?"
"Know."
"I'm very curious about this boy. How old is he? What is his relationship with Yang Xun? Where do you live now? What are you busy with all day?"
Zi Jin thought for a while and said, "He is the clerk of Jiang Jishuzhai. He is about seventeen or eighteen years old, so the other servants don't know."
