Chapter 1376 Being beaten
On the twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month, Xia Zihan was making a cotton-padded jacket for his precious daughter on the hot bed. Chu Yun hurriedly came to report, "Master, it's bad, something happened to the Xia family in Beicheng."
"Xia Zijiang? What happened?" Xia Zihan continued her sewing without even raising her head.
Chu Yun reported, "In the past few days, the young master of the Xia family in Beicheng has been ill. The eldest mistress is taking care of him at home and cannot leave. Even the mother and maids who are waiting for the eldest mistress are too busy to leave. However, the New Year was approaching and the family’s New Year’s gifts had not yet been sent out, so the eldest young lady asked the eldest young master to deliver them.”
Who would have known that Xia Zijiang, who didn't have a penny in his pocket, would actually put his mind to these new year gifts.
Among the New Year's gifts that Lu planned to send to Prince Anjun's Mansion were two pieces of fine leather. It was said that they were a black bear and a tiger that her brother had personally hunted in the mountains. Knowing that the Crown Prince liked to wear black cloaks, he So he specially gave the leather to Mrs. Lu, and also asked Mrs. Lu to put the leather into the New Year's gift to Prince Anjun.
Who knew that Xia Zijiang would choose these two pieces of good leather.
He took the leather to a shop specializing in selling leather, and exchanged two pieces of the best leather for two pieces of inferior leather, and the shop owner gave him five taels of silver.
That bear skin was mentioned on the New Year gift list, but when the steward of our house looked at the list and unloaded the goods, he discovered that the bear skin mentioned on the list was actually an ordinary wolf skin.
Can that wolf skin be the same as bear skin?
When the manager saw something was wrong, he immediately told Xia Zijiang, the delivery person, that the wrong goods were delivered.
Originally, Xia Zijiang was here to give a New Year's gift. This New Year's gift was given in the wrong way. Most people who are thin-skinned would be embarrassed to mention it. But for a family as big as Anjun Prince's Mansion, everything going in and out of the warehouse must be according to the list. accounted for.
If the items recorded are bear skins and the items stored in the warehouse are wolf skins, and in the future, two bears skins will be missing from the inventory, who will be responsible for this?
When the manager thought that something was wrong, he asked Xia Zijiang to check the order. Xia Zijiang said angrily, "Isn't it just the wrong delivery? Just change the bear skin on the order to a wolf skin. If you are so serious about the order, do you want me to go back?" I brought you the bear skins, aren’t they just two bears skins? Does Prince An’s mansion still lack those two bears skins?”
The more guilty Xia Zijiang felt, the louder he muttered. Unexpectedly, the prince who passed by heard him.
Because Xia Zijiang is Xia Shiming's eldest son and Xia Zihan's eldest brother, even if Chu Xuanyu gives Xia Shiming and Xia Zihan face, he can't prevent Xia Zijiang from coming to Taiwan.
Immediately, Chu Xuanyu asked the steward to change the list, changing the bear skin to wolf skin. However, Chu Xuanyu also knew that Xia Zijiang was not a good person.
Chu Xuanyu was a shrewd person with poisonous eyes. As soon as he saw Xia Zijiang, he could tell that he was guilty and bluffing.
Therefore, on the other side, Chu Xuanyu sent a woman to the Xia family in Beicheng to tell the Lu family about the matter.
The New Year's gift sent to Prince Anjun's Mansion was personally organized by Mrs. Lu, and she personally selected everything in it, so Mrs. Lu knew very well what items there were.
It was obviously a bear skin, but it turned into a wolf skin. As soon as Lu turned her head, she knew that it must be Xia Zijiang's fault.
When Xia Zijiang entered the doorway with five taels of silver in his pocket and humming a song, he stepped in. Suddenly, a foot came out from inside and kicked him in the chest.
Xia Zijiang screamed, and like a kite with its string broken, he flew four or five meters away, and then fell heavily to the ground with a bang. He had less air in and more air out.
Lying on the ground, his whole body was twitching, and blood was spurting out from his mouth. Seeing him like this, even Mr. Lu who was kicking someone was so frightened that he was frightened on the spot. For a moment, he was dumbfounded.
The first person to react was the maid next to Lu. She shouted in panic, "Young mistress, the eldest young master fell and was injured. What should I do?"
"Quick, go get the doctor." The second person who reacted quickly was the steward next to Lu, "Two more people, please carry the eldest young master into the house quickly."
After carrying Xia Zijiang into the room, the doctor came after a while.
After diagnosing his pulse, the doctor diagnosed that Xia Zijiang had three broken ribs, severe internal injuries, and one leg was also broken.
As for the large mouthfuls of blood spurting from his mouth, the doctor said that it was actually at the moment he fell to the ground that Xia Zijiang bit his tongue with his teeth, which was broken and a large piece of the flesh on his cheek was also broken.
Inside and out, the injuries, large and small, were considered serious. Fortunately, the doctor was not a quack. He first stopped Xia Zijiang's bleeding, then set his bones, and finally prescribed medicine.
"Master, the eldest young master's face is swollen to the point of being swollen, and there is a piece of skin on his forehead. It will definitely leave scars afterwards. Moreover, the eldest young mistress is cruel enough. After the doctor left, the eldest young mistress will directly kill the eldest young master. The wood holding the leg bones was removed and his feet were stepped on. The young master fainted from the pain. "
The person hasn’t woken up yet.
Xia Zihan looked shocked when he heard this. He had already put down his work. After Chu Yun finished reporting, Xia Zihan asked, "Where is my father? Does he know the news?"
"I know, I've known for a long time. After Mrs. Lu injured the eldest young master, she immediately informed the master and his wife. The master and his wife are now at the Xia family in Beicheng." Chu Yun said with relish.
Xia Zihan heard that her father had gone, and she also wanted to go to the Xia family in Beicheng.
After Xia Zijiang and Lu got married, Lu had always behaved very well. She listened to her words and took good care of Xia Zijiang. She also gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Xia family, which was a great contribution. Now, she injured Xia Zijiang. In front of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu must be scared, right?
Xia Zihan had the intention to go to Xia's house in Beicheng to plead for her, lest her father get angry and scold Mr. Lu.
"Master, no." Chu Yun became anxious when he saw that she was about to go out. At the same time, he secretly regretted that he should not have told his master about this.
Chu Yun hurriedly came over and stopped her from getting off the ground, "Master, the prince said that it is cold outside now, and the master's body is bone-cold and severe, so he cannot go out casually."
"It's not allowed, it's not forbidden." She must go to the Xia family in Beicheng. If Mrs. Lu was reprimanded by her father, she would definitely feel guilty.
After all, it was she who took it upon herself to bring Mr. Lu to Xia Zijiang and let her take care of him as a man. Therefore, she saved Xia Shiming a lot of trouble.
Now, Mrs. Lu beat Xia Zijiang, and Xia Shiming rushed away again. When Xia Shiming saw his son being beaten, when he got angry, he might really reprimand Mr. Lu severely.
