Chapter 336 Send Away
"Girl, it's not good, it's not good, the master is here..."
Danjue stumbled in and cried in horror, "Master...he brought a bunch of women here. Girl, run away."
Xia Ziying's face changed drastically, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she still tried her best to stay calm and scolded, "Why are you panicking? I didn't do anything. Why are you running away?"
Are you planning to cheat?
There was a sound of footsteps in the yard.
The footsteps were messy and noisy, and it could be heard that many people were coming.
Xia Ziying felt even more panicked, but then she thought that she was Xia Shiming's biological daughter, and it was impossible for Xia Shiming to abandon her for an aunt who had just entered the house a day ago.
Thinking like this, Xia Ziying's panicked heart calmed down a bit.
But in her heart she still hated the long journey.
A grown man couldn't even do this well, and he made her have to deal with her father's anger.
Hum, wait until tomorrow, and she will sell his sister to Xinghua Tower.
Xia Ziying gritted her teeth and thought viciously.
With a bang, the door was kicked open.
Xia Shiming walked in with a sinister look on his face. Xia Ziying, who wanted to pretend to be a good girl, did not dare to approach him. She only smiled stiffly and said, "Dad, today is your big day. If you don't go to accompany Aunt Guo, Why are you here with your daughter?”
Xia Shiming glanced at her disappointedly, and then ordered the three women beside him, "Pack your luggage for the three girls."
"Dad, what are you doing?" Xia Ziying panicked, took two steps forward, stopped the mothers-in-law, but looked at Xia Shiming and said firmly, "Why are you packing your luggage? My daughter is not going anywhere. ”
"I can't rely on you." Xia Shiming said expressionlessly, "You did something wrong before. I spared you because you were young, but I didn't expect you..."
Xia Shiming did not say any more, but the blame in his eyes was very strong.
Xia Ziying was at the age where she was innocent and innocent, the age where she should be surrounded by him and be ignorant and amused, but in her small body, she hid a heart that was no less vicious than Xu's snake and scorpion.
Before, she harmed Aunt Zhang, but it didn't cause any bad consequences. Considering her young age, he just put her in solitary confinement and punished her to copy a few more copies of Women's Virtues and Women's Precepts and the Analects of Confucius.
I thought that his magnanimity could slowly correct her temper that was crooked by Mrs. Xu, at least not make her lose her integrity.
A few days ago, seeing that she was very well-behaved, he thought she had changed, so he opened his mouth and released her foot.
But I didn't expect that she would... actually come up with such a vicious way to frame Aunt Guo.
You know, Aunt Guo is not Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang has a low status and no support from her family. Even if she is plotted by her, Aunt Zhang can only knock out her teeth and swallow it.
But Aunt Guo is different.
There is also a young master Guo in the Guo family who has the reputation of raising a child. If Aunt Guo is really framed and loses her innocence and life in the Xia family, then young master Guo will definitely not let it go.
At that time, once this matter reaches the government, the reputation of his Xia family that has been passed down for hundreds of years will plummet and become infamous.
And his career will definitely be affected, and the Chu family who helped him get involved will also be implicated. When the time comes, three families will be harmed because of her.
Xia Ziying can no longer stay in the capital.
Xia Shiming gritted his teeth and ordered his mother-in-law, "Tie up the third girl, pack your things, and send the third girl back to Jiangning."
Then with a disappointed look on his face, he left without even looking at Xia Ziying.
Xia Ziying cried and called to him, "Dad, I don't want to leave the capital. Don't send me away. I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time. Dad, please, don't send me away..."
Tears were streaming down his face, and the pear blossoms were raining, but Xia Shiming seemed not to hear it.
Xia Ziying collapsed on the ground, feeling weak.
Early the next morning, after the city gate opened, she was escorted into a carriage by several women and left the capital in a hurry.
Mrs. Xu got the news last night and hurriedly went to plead for Xia Ziying, but Xia Shiming had already sent a few rough envoys outside Aunt Guo's courtyard to prevent anyone from approaching.
Mrs. Xu cried loudly and wanted to wake Xia Shiming out. Unfortunately, Xia Zihan happened to be passing by and slashed the knife with her hand, making Mrs. Xu quiet.
When Xu woke up the next day, Xia Ziying had already been sent out of the capital.
When Aunt Guo served Mrs. Xu tea, Mrs. Xu wanted to stop drinking it and wanted to threaten Xia Shiming and send Xia Ziying back.
Xia Shiming sneered and said, "If you don't want to drink, fine, then you can go back to Jiangning with your daughter."
How can that work?
Absolutely not.
If she returns to Jiangning, wouldn't she give the master her hands and give them to that bitch Aunt Guo for nothing?
Between Xia Ziying and Xia Shiming, Xu chose Xia Shiming without any hesitation.
Xia Shiming is her lifelong support, and she must not lose him.
Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth, filled with hatred, took the tea from Aunt Guo's hand, and swallowed it fiercely.
It seemed that what she swallowed was not tea, but Aunt Guo herself.
Aunt Guo didn't care about that. Anyway, as long as the mistress drank her tea, she recognized her identity, and her name could be written on the Xia family tree under Xia Shiming's name. Of course, not every aunt's name can be written on the Xia family's genealogy. Just like Aunt Zhang, she is not qualified.
Aunt Zhang is a concubine and a slave. If the mistress doesn't like it, she can be sold away at will.
If she didn't give birth to a child, she would have no status at all in the Xia family.
But Aunt Guo is different. Aunt Guo is a noble concubine. She has her natal family and dowry to rely on. Even in front of the servants, she is also a master.
Even when she meets her mistress, she has a chair to sit on, so she doesn't have to be like a concubine and serve her mistress like a slave.
It was because of her high status that she could threaten Xu's status that Xu didn't dare to leave the capital at this time.
Even though she was worried about her daughter.
After serving tea and acknowledging the kiss, Xia Shiming saw that Aunt Guo's eyebrows were slightly twisted, indicating that she was holding back something, so he said softly and gently, "Okay, I have to go out for a while. You go back to your room to rest first."
Aunt Guo's melon had just been broken last night and she had been standing in the hall for so long. Her body was a little overwhelmed. Xia Shiming took pity on her and asked her to go into the room to rest.
Mrs. Xu's teeth were sore when she saw her. She wanted to rush forward, grab Aunt Guo, and bite her hard on the neck to satisfy her hatred.
She twisted the handkerchief several times, and smiled as if she was not smiling. She felt sad and said with sore teeth, "Aunt Guo was tired last night. She needs to recuperate her body and bones. Master, I have already ordered the kitchen to stew." A pot of blood swallow porridge, sir, can you eat it before leaving?"
Seeing that Mrs. Xu performed well today and did not make a fuss about asking for a daughter, and that he was not in a hurry, Xia Shiming just agreed.
"Then I will go and tell the maid to serve it." Mrs. Xu was so happy.
This was the first time since the refugee riot last year, when she pushed Xia Zilan on the knife edge, that the master looked good on her and agreed to eat with her.
Aunt Guo is a sensible person.
She would not let Xia Shiming think she was annoying, and she would try not to let Mrs. Xu think she was an eyesore, so she resigned and went back to her room.
Mrs. Xu also said hypocritically and gently, "Go and have a good rest. I will be more relaxed when I have you to serve me from now on."
She said that she seemed to be favored by Xia Shiming a lot.
In fact, after the marriage was settled, the Guo family secretly investigated Xu and knew what kind of person she was, and also knew that Xia Shiming did not want to see her.
Of course, Aunt Guo knew it in her heart and would not say it out loud, but on the surface, she would still give her mistress respect.
Aunt Guo said, "I will not disappoint my wife's expectations, and I will serve you well."
Then, he resigned when Xu's teeth were itching.
A battle broke out between Aunt Guo and Mrs. Xu. No matter how fierce the fight was, nothing happened to Xia Zihan.
At this moment, Xia Zihan has returned to the Chu family and is studying the Mid-Autumn Festival with Manager Lu.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the entire Chu family was immersed in low pressure due to the death of little Zeng.
This year, Xia Zihan asked the farmer to send dozens of large pheasants, two live deer, and a dozen live sheep early.
Yesterday, the Yuan family also asked Yuan Da and Yuan San to drive over half a fan of pork, as well as three big white geese and a basket of goose eggs.
Xia Zihan was at Xia's house at the time and didn't know they were coming. However, Zeng, who was a widow at home, met their brothers and specially let them eat in the front yard, and asked He Donglin to accompany them.
When they left, Mrs. Zeng rewarded each of them with five taels of silver, and also ordered He Donglin to catch a sheep and two large pheasants for them as a return gift.
Then he ordered Hongmei to go to the kitchen to pack a few kilograms of pastries, move two boxes of apples, and pile them on their carriage.
The Yuan family has been farming for hundreds of years and has had several owners. This is the first time they have encountered such a good owner.
You know, the things they brought were not worth five taels of silver in total, but Mrs. Chu rewarded them with a total of ten taels of silver and gave them so many things as gifts in return.
The two brothers knelt down on the ground in emotion and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Zeng.
Mrs. Zeng saw that the coats they were wearing were new, and the fabric happened to be what the Chu family sent them last time, but their pants were old, and there was a tear on the knee.
She couldn't see them while they were standing, but Zeng saw them as soon as they knelt down.
Feeling pity, she asked Hongmei to go to the warehouse, found some pieces of green fine cloth, and asked her brother to take them home together.
Yuan Da Yuan San thanked him again and again, then reluctantly drove the carriage out of Chu's house.
When Xia Zihan came back, Mrs. Zeng told her about the visit of the Yuan brothers. After that, she said, "The Yuan family is loyal and honest. Although your village is contracted by them, you still have a master-servant relationship. If you can help them on a daily basis, do so.”
"As long as you do good deeds in this world, you will always have good relationships, Yu Niang, my grandmother only hopes that you will be happy in the future."
Mrs. Zeng held Xia Zihan's hand and spoke earnestly.
Xia Zihan hummed heavily, "Grandma, granddaughter remembers it."
