Chapter 74: Shihou asked Qingwen to mediate, Suspecting Qingwen's hidden love in the cold night

"Master Hou, Mr. Fu Yin said that someone has seen him talking to the Jia family's young master who was born with a jade in his mouth in the street. His face was not as cold as he was to others. Maybe he has some connection with the Jia family?" the boy asked tentatively.

.

"Jia family?" Mr. Shi's face turned even uglier. "We just broke up with the Jia family on bad terms. It will be difficult to ask them to come forward to intercede now."

"No matter how hard it is, you have to ask for it. Otherwise, what will Hong'er do?"

Mrs. Shihou looked as tragic as a strong man cutting off his wrist, "I must pull this old face off and ask my aunt again. Even if the marriage fails, does she still care about the life and death of her nephew and grandson?"

"You don't know about our aunt? Since she got married, when has she cared about her parents' family? She only recognizes the Jia family. In our family, only Xiangyun can still please her," Shi Hou said.

"Then let Xiangyun go and beg her. If you can't beg her, let Xiangyun go to Baoyu for help. Maybe the Jia family doesn't have a deep connection with that person. It's just that Baoyu has some contact with him occasionally."

Mrs. Shi Hou blinked her eyes and gradually came into contact with the essence of the matter.

Shi Xiangyun was in the room, grabbing hold of his maid Cuixi and whispering in a whisper.

"Cuixi, tell me quickly, what have you been hearing for a long time?"

"Girl, how can I tell you this?"

Cui Wei said in embarrassment, "It's the third master who has caused trouble to many daughters of good families outside. He did it very secretly, but he didn't know who got him out. Yesterday, there were papers all over the city, saying that he was wrong.

The Marquis saw it when he went to court. He was furious on the spot and asked people to tear it up quickly. The Third Master also led others to tear it apart outside. The whole family worked together and it took a long time to tear it all up, but the Marquis's house was also disgraced.

.

Later, for some unknown reason, the third master was sent to the government office. He heard that he was going to be exiled to a bitter and cold place in the north. The marquis and his wife were so anxious that they were going crazy and were trying to find a way to save him."

"Why should we save such a bitch? He is a disaster if he is alive. It will bring shame on the historian and waste water. It is better to let him die!" Xiang Yun said through gritted teeth.

While they were talking, a mother-in-law came to report that the wife asked the eldest girl to discuss some matters.

"Girl, there is something I haven't told you."

Cuixi couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering, and Xiangyun was so anxious that she hit her with his fist: "Say it quickly! Is there any other good thing that would make me happy if you say it?"

"My wife went to Jia's house to propose marriage to the third master. It was Miss Qing that she proposed, but the old lady didn't give her an accurate answer on the spot.

After this happened, the wife wanted to do it without telling the old lady, but the old lady used a walking stick to blast her out. Now let the girl go, maybe it is because of this matter that the girl will ask the old lady again.

Madam, don’t old ladies love girls the most?”

"He deserves it?!"

Xiangyun spat violently, "He's like that, he's not even qualified to carry Sister Qing's shoes, and he wants to eat swan meat."

Sister Qing came to our house just once, and she really made him miss her. Aunt actually went to propose marriage to him. If it were me, I would beat her with a stick.

You want me to intercede for him? Let’s just dream! No, let’s get him out of the government prison first.”

Although Xiangyun was unhappy, he was also secretly happy.

If she really wanted to ask her to plead with the old lady, she would have reason to go to Jia's house by herself, and there would be no need for the old lady to send anyone to pick her up.

In Mrs. Shihou's room, Mrs. Shihou was leaning on the couch, frowning and thinking.

Seeing Xiangyun coming, she immediately put on the mask of a gentle and loving mother, sat up with a smile and greeted her.

"Girl Yun, Qianer made some new clothes for you. Come and try them on to see if they fit you."

Mrs. Shi Hou waved, and a maid immediately brought several dresses and unfolded them one by one for Xiangyun to see.

Xiangyun looked at the bright and beautiful skirt, but it was obviously not her size, and smiled and said:

"Auntie doesn't know. Now that I'm growing rapidly, these clothes look too small. I might as well give them to my second sister."

The second girl of the Shi family is Mrs. Shi Hou's biological daughter, and these dresses were originally made for her.

Mrs. Shi Hou was slightly embarrassed by Xiangyun's words, and said sarcastically: "It's true that I was busy with chores in the house all day and neglected it. I'll cut it for you tomorrow and make a few more."

"Auntie, don't worry, Xiangyun has clothes to wear. Auntie asked me to come, but is this just for this?"

Xiangyun said bluntly, "If there is nothing else, Xiangyun has gone back to do needlework. The shoes made by fifth brother have not been finished yet."

"Not busy, not busy."

Mrs. Shi hurriedly grabbed Xiangyun and told her that she hoped to go to Jia's house, talk to Jia's mother and Baoyu, and save her third brother.

This matter is a bit different from what Cui Lu had guessed. As expected, rescuing Shi Hong is the Shi family's top priority at the moment.

Xiangyun pretended to be thoughtful and said, "Is that so? I should help third brother's matter, both emotionally and rationally. But aunt, we can't be sure about this matter.

Firstly, the old lady and Baoyu may not listen to me; secondly, I don’t know how close the Jia family is to that person, so their words may not be effective. If it doesn’t work, aunt, don’t blame me.”

"Well, Auntie knows about this, so you just have to do your best." Mrs. Shi Hou said very considerately.

"Also, you can't just say this outright. You need the right time. I'm afraid Yun'er will have to live there for a longer time and won't be able to take care of the work at home."

Shi Xiangyun was a little pushy and took the opportunity to raise conditions.

Mrs. Shihou's face darkened, but she had no choice but to leave via Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun packed up his parcels excitedly and took a group of maids and women to Jia's house.

What she brought with her, in addition to her own small gifts for the Jia sisters, was also a few rare things that Mrs. Shihou specially picked out from the warehouse to give to Jia's mother and Baoyu.

In the courtyard of a high-rise building in the capital, Chen Hanxiao stood in front of the window, looking out at the grass outside the window, with Ming Lang standing respectfully behind him.

"Has Miss Qing's affairs been arranged?" Chen Hanxiao asked expressionlessly.

"Everything was arranged. The governor didn't dare to sentence Shi Hong to a severe sentence at first, and wanted to mess with the past. I secretly showed him his waist card, but he was sensible and immediately sentenced him to exile in the north."

"It's an advantage for him. Such a bastard should be executed immediately!" Chen Hanxiao said coldly.

"After all, there was only one girl willing to testify in court, and there was no life-threatening lawsuit. There were no witnesses for other matters, so he said it was all a frame-up, and there was nothing we could do to him.

If this matter hadn't involved Miss Qing, and his subordinates had secretly dragged him out and buried him, what could the Shi family have done? He was just a prodigal son, but Marquis Shi still treated him as a treasure? "

Chen Hanxiao shook his head and said: "Killing him won't cause Shi Ding to regard me as his mortal enemy. But how did Miss Qing know about Jiang Huiying and him?"
