"Take the fourth girl back to the room." Xia Tingzhen glanced at Yaonv for the last time, with no emotion in her eyes.
Xia Xi felt relieved and hurriedly said: "Thank you father... After my daughter goes back, she will reflect on it and never cause trouble to her father again!"
"girl……"
The maid came forward and helped the man up.
Xia Xi stood up. Even though the trembling on her body was still not immediately gone, she still did not forget to salute her father: "Daughter, please retire..."
Then, he was supported by the maid and left the side hall.
Along the way, Xia Xi's frightened mood could not completely calm down.
But this did not stop her from starting to think about the strangeness of this matter.
Personal evidence?
Who are the witnesses?
Where did the physical evidence come from?
Who would use this matter against her?
It must still be the Zhenguo Palace!
Xu Mingyi must have not believed that Zhan Yunjiao had no accomplices and concluded that the matter was related to her, so he forged the so-called personal and material evidence... This must be the case!
She has known since she was a child that in this capital, there can only be one she and Xu Mingyi!
Xia Xi gritted her teeth bitterly and walked all the way back to the courtyard. When she was about to call someone to come and inquire about the details of the yamen, she found that the courtyard was unusually quiet.
No one was waiting in the courtyard to welcome her back?
Where have they all gone to be lazy?
However, the moment she stepped into the hall, she saw the wet nurse standing quietly in the hall.
Except for the wet nurse, there was no sign of any other maids.
But there are two other strange women——
When the three of them saw her coming in, none of them saluted.
"...Which courtyard are you from?" Xia Xi frowned and looked at the two tall and strong women.
The two of them seemed not to have heard her and did not answer her words. One of them walked to the table and took something from a tray into his hand.
That's a white silk...!
Xia Xi looked horrified and stepped back subconsciously: "What do you want to do! Aunt Lan - drive them out quickly!"
The housekeeper sighed softly.
"Girl, my maid will take you on your way."
——On the road?!
"Who allowed you to do this!"
"The two of us are doing things under the orders of the master. We hope that the girl will not make it difficult for us, and don't ask for trouble." The old woman holding the white silk said expressionlessly.
"No...impossible! How could father...I don't believe it..." Xia Xi shook her head and muttered incoherently: "There must be other ways..."
As he said that, he suddenly raised his head: "In the final analysis, father just wants to hide it from those officials... Nanny Lan, where is Qingyue? She is about the same age as me, let her come for me! Think of some ways to cover it up.
My appearance can definitely be concealed, and the government may not dare to dig into it! The worst I can do is ask my father to send me out of the capital, and I will never come back!"
In the face of life and death, she didn't care about anything.
But even so, it is still too greedy and unrealistic.
Grandma Lan was silent for a moment.
It's rare for the girl to actually become wise in her anxiety.
But the girl seems to have forgotten something...
Can’t the girl still not understand what kind of person the master is?
How did the second young master win the respect of the master in the first place? But once the honor and disgrace of the family were involved, the master still pushed him out without hesitation.
In comparison, what is there about the girl that makes it worth taking the risk to deceive the government and the emperor?
It is impossible for the marriage with Cao Zhuangyuan to turn around? A drag that cannot bring any help to the family? How could the master go to such great lengths to save this useless life?
Thinking of this, Grandma Lan couldn't help but feel a little pity for the girl in front of her.
She looked at the girl who was brought up by her own breasts, and said with a sigh, "Girl... just go away and stay in peace for the rest of your life. Remember to send your child to that ordinary family..."
That’s not to say that you will be at ease if you go to an ordinary family. But after living a hard life, you can also know what you can do and what you can’t do. In addition to the development of a girl’s temperament, it is more about relying on it.
Are you from a good family? You are used to everything going your way. As a result, your mind becomes dazed and you no longer know how to restrain your evil thoughts and do not know how to be in awe.
If you can really go to an ordinary person's house, make a few small mistakes, eat a few meals and go hungry for a few days, maybe you will know the severity.
Although it may not be possible to be a good person, but if you understand the consequences of making mistakes, you can probably learn to exercise restraint.
"That's enough! Don't tell me this!"
Xia Xi was almost driven crazy by her words of "get on the road" and "let's have a good time".
Go on? Are we going to start asking her how much paper money she needs to burn and what kind of paper she likes?!
Little did you know? Aunt Lan had no such plan at all.
Paper money, paper or anything like that must never be burned.
What if it really works? Why don’t we continue to enjoy the blessings after we reach the underworld? Is it possible that this kind of temper will last?
"I'm going to find my father! I don't believe that my father can really be so cruel! There must be something I can do!"
Xia Xi suddenly turned around and ran out of the hall.
At this time? The two women chased him out.
Even though a person will burst out with amazing strength at the critical moment of life and death, no matter how hard a spoiled girl is, she will never be able to escape from the clutches of two strong women.
Xia Xi's mouth was covered, dragged back into the hall, and pushed into a chair.
The snow-white silk cloth was wrapped around the snow-white slender neck. After wrapping it around and around, it suddenly tightened in the mother-in-law's rough and strong hands.
The girl's moon-white satin embroidered shoes with silver embroidery and red lotus pattern, which were struggling tightly on the ground, slowly stopped moving.
The head hung down in an almost twisted posture, like a spring flower that had its stem broken off and died in the scorching sun.
Only those slightly bulging eyes were still staring, as if filled with endless reluctance.
A woman stretched out her finger, breathed, and nodded to her companion.
Soon, a servant passed the news to the side hall.
Xia Tingzhen nodded slightly.
"Master, those officials in front..."
"I will go see you personally."
Xia Tingzhen stood up holding the relief on the chair.
In the front hall, a group of officials had been waiting anxiously, and they did not dare to say anything urgent, let alone say anything unpleasant, so they could only wait.
At this time, when they saw Xia Tingzhen coming, they all bowed quickly.
"Xia Shoufu."
"I've kept you waiting for a long time, but my little girl is destined to not be able to go back with you today." Xia Tingzhen's tone was as calm as ever, but with a hint of hoarseness.
Several officials secretly exchanged glances.
The chief officer also looked embarrassed: "I wonder what the inconvenience is to Miss Xia Si? I hope the chief assistant will make it clear...so that the subordinates can have an explanation with my master."
The attendant next to Xia Tingzhen said in a complicated tone: "My fourth girl just heard about this and hanged herself while going back to her room to change clothes. By the time the maids found out, it was already too late..."
The officials' expressions changed when they heard this.
