Chapter 190 Classmate Meng
Zeng Chongrong felt wronged: "I can't understand it either."
"If you can't understand it, don't think about it." Zeng Chongjin agreed with Hu's words, "Yaoyao The thing about knowing water must be like what mother said. As for the other things, such as a maid It doesn’t matter whether you know it or not. Maybe Yaoyao learned it privately without telling the maid.”
Zeng Chongrong listened to this speculation: “That must be the case!”
Mr. Hu was worried. He looked at the little girl calmly, then looked back at the eldest daughter after a few breaths of sadness, and then he felt a little more comforted.
Xi Yanwen was worried before she met Mrs. Qiao Er. After meeting Mrs. Qiao Er, she calmed down for a while and thought about it carefully when she returned to the house. Her heart became restless again.
Especially after she confided in her mother, Niu Shi, about a series of situations that happened in Bixu Manor today, her mother was so horrified that her face turned whiter than hers, which made her even more unsure.
"Mom, why hasn't father come back yet?" Xi Yanjuan felt that her father was better able to take care of things, even though his father was only a minor censor in the Imperial Court.
Ms. Niu never inquired about her husband’s official affairs. How would he know? He could only guess in the direction he usually asked: “It must be because someone’s affairs need to be verified. Your father went to make a secret visit. As soon as I made an unannounced visit, I forgot the time again.”< br>
"Oh." Xi Yanjuan became depressed. She heard the voice of a servant greeting her nine-year-old brother Xi Kuangjing from outside the door. She stood up and said, "Mother, Ah Jing is here. I Go back to the hospital first.”
"Don't think too much, it's not your fault. I'll talk to your father when he comes back." Mrs. Niu knew that her daughter was not close to her son, so she didn't force it. "You are tired enough today." , go back to the hospital and rest early.”
“Yes.” Xi Yanchuan is still wilting.
Xi Kuangjing passed by Xi Yanwen. He called Sister, but Xi Yanwen didn't answer him. He went into the room and asked Niu: "Mom, what's wrong with Sister? Are you going out of town today?" Who was bullied while playing?”
I then thought of Qiao Sang, who often interacts with my elder sister: “You bullied my elder sister. Is that the lady from the Qiao Mansion? "
Niu was surprised why her son would talk about Qiao Sang who drowned today. It would have been okay to mention it in the past, but today it was absolutely forbidden. She He quickly covered Xi Kuangjing's mouth: "Don't mention Miss Qiao Mansion again in the future!"
"Why is this?" Xi Kuangjing asked, pulling down Niu's hand.
Mr. Niu immediately said in detail: "Then Miss Qiao went to Bixu Manor with your sister today. Unexpectedly, she couldn't think about it and jumped off the bridge twice into the water. The water is obviously very good, and she even fell on the ice. She was able to swim up to the hole. Unexpectedly, after jumping into the water for the second time today, She drowned alive in the depths of the lake. It took a long time for the people in the manor to find her body and fish it out of the lake. "
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, the eldest daughter! Sister Huan, the eldest son Brother Jing, and the eight-year-old concubine Brother Ming.
Xi Kuangming was born and raised by a concubine, and rarely came to her yard.
Xi Kuangjing didn't understand and asked: "Why can't she think about it? Why did she jump into the water twice in a row? Did she climb ashore by herself the first time?"
Xi Yanjuan told Niu everything in detail. Faced with Xi Kuangjing's questions, Niu did not hide anything and relayed it to his son word for word.
Although Xi Kuangjing is only nine years old, he has been very talented in reading since he was a child. He passed the entrance examination of Qingbei College in the first exam and is now living in Qingbei College.
I am in the mansion today because I accidentally injured my foot two days ago and returned home to recuperate.
Now that he has fully recovered, he will go back to the academy to continue studying tomorrow morning. He came to his mother's yard now just to talk to his mother about this matter. Unexpectedly, he saw his eldest sister looking absent-minded and preoccupied. , I couldn't help but ask one more question, and I didn't expect that he would ask about the death of Miss Qiao's family.
To be honest, he has never liked Qiao Sang. When he met Qiao Sang for the first time, he felt that this woman had evil intentions and wanted to remind the eldest sister. However, he had no real evidence and it was difficult for him to say anything.
Besides, the eldest sister didn’t know what kind of ecstasy soup Qiao Sang poured into her. Qiao Sang believed everything the eldest sister said, but he was afraid that if he said it, the eldest sister would think that he was a dignified son, and he would criticize and slander a girl behind her back. It's really the behavior of a villain.
He didn’t want his eldest sister to misunderstand him like this, so to this day, he still hasn’t been able to say what he wanted to say.
Now that Qiao Sang is dead, he has nothing to say.
Just...
"Mom, are you worried about something?" Xi Kuangjing is just such a sister, and she is also the biological sister of the same mother. Even though he can't go back to his hometown several times a month, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about his sister.
"Your sister is worried that the Qiao family will blame Miss Qiao's death on your sister." Mrs. Niu knew that her son was precocious, and she always answered whatever her son asked.
Xi Kuangjing frowned: "What does this have to do with sister? It's all Miss Qiao's own fault. Sister doesn't need to worry at all."
"I'm like this with you too. My sister said it, but you I feel that the second wife of the Qiao family has spoken to her, which makes her a little uneasy." Niu told Xi Youyan that when her husband Xi Youyan returned home, she would tell him the story of Qiao Sang's death, but in fact she did not. I feel that my daughter's worries are really unnecessary.
“Uneasy?” Xi Kuangjing was puzzled.
Mrs. Niu patted her son's hand: "Okay, your sister will be fine. You came here to tell your mother about going back to the academy, right?"
Xi Kuangjing nodded: "Yes, mother, My son will go back to the academy to study early tomorrow morning."
"There are only two days off from the academy. Today, why don't you just stay in the house until the holiday is over and then go back to the academy to study?" Mrs. Niu was very reluctant to let go of her smart and sensible son. Every time he returned home from the holiday, he would have to stay in the house for some other reasons. During school, her son always wanted to go back to school to study early, while she always hoped that her son could stay for two more days.
This is an old saying. Xi Kuangjing skillfully said to Niu: "Mother, my son is still young. It is the age when he should study hard. Because my son accidentally sprained his foot, he has already I was delayed for a few days, my studies were important, even if it was just The two days in between are also very precious time. "
And for him, he spends all day studying hard, and time flies by. The two days in between will pass in the blink of an eye. He will come home again, and his mother will see him again.
If you waste two more days of hard practice, it is really not worth it.
Furthermore, students who can go to Qingbei Academy are all rich or noble, and their minds are flexible. In the eyes of his mother, he is very talented in reading, but in the academy Here, he also belongs to the category of students at the upper-middle level.
The competition is fierce.
I really can’t suspend my studies any longer because I am too far behind other students.
Not to mention other classmates, let’s talk about Meng Renkang, the fourth son of the Meng family who is in the same school as him. This time he rested for a few days to recuperate. Meng’s studies must have left him far behind. .
That’s right!
Classmate Meng!
