Chapter 649: Being Beaten Twice for No Apparent Reason
Shao Huaan did not directly tell the story about Qi Rongzhi, which shows his caution. Master Shao knew at a glance that he was not easy to deal with. The reason he found was that Wang Shengxue had molested several maids in the house. They complained to Duke Xingguo, and he taught him a lesson on behalf of Duke Xingguo.
This matter seems to have nothing to do with Qi Ronzhi, nor does it have anything to do with his reputation. From this point of view, it can be seen that the reputation of Mr. Shao has always been very good outside, which shows that it is not an accident.
"Continue to send the note to Qi Rongzhi!" Bing Qian said coldly, her eyes dark and deep.
"Yes, this slave knows!"
In the next few days, Qi Rongzhi found that not only did she not avoid Wang Shengxue's entanglement, but she also intensified it. At night, she could even hear someone calling her from the wall. She was so scared that she and the two girls hugged each other and shivered. This happened again. Two days later, Qi Rongzhi secretly bribed the two gatekeepers again and asked them to deliver a message to Shao Huaan.
The last time Qi Rongzhi's letter was delivered, Shao Huaan had someone reward them. This time, he passed on the message without any hesitation.
The madam said that she would keep Miss Qi under guard and not let her and the maids around her go outside, but she did not say that the people outside included the eldest son. The eldest young master was the madam's only son and the future master of the house. They, the servants, would not dare to offend the eldest son.
Although the eldest son didn't say anything before, it can be seen from the fact that he rewarded them that he agreed.
If there is one, there are two. This time the two women were rewarded by Shao Huaan again.
Then he beat Wang Shengxue up for an excuse and warned him not to be arrogant in the house, let alone flirt with the women in the house, otherwise he and his sister would be kicked out of the house.
Wang Yishu was raised in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion and had been suspended with drugs. If it weren't for these drugs, he would have died long ago. If he was really kicked out, not to mention Wang Shengxue himself could not make ends meet, even Wang Yishu would have died. .
Wang Shengxue was almost limping from the pain of being beaten. Although he gritted his teeth angrily, he had to promise that there was no such thing. He would not do such a shameless thing. He almost swore an oath. .
After Wang Shengxue limped away, Shao Huaan frowned and left.
"Eldest Young Master, why do you always hit Young Master Wang? Could it be that Young Master Wang has offended the Eldest Young Master?" Across a wall, I suddenly heard the voice of a maid coming from the wall. Listening to this voice, it was obvious that she had seen the young master just now. scene.
Wang Shengxue touched his waist, stopped, and listened to Uncle Zhen'er. How could he not hate being beaten for no reason? Of course, the one he hated most was the maid in Xingguo Duke's mansion. I don't know who came to Shao Huaan and said Despite his fault, he was actually very well-behaved in Duke Xingguo's mansion and did not dare to tease the maids in the mansion.
"How could the prince offend the eldest young master!" Another maid's disapproving voice made Wang Shengxue nod repeatedly. He still hasn't figured out where he went wrong. If he knew which maid was secretly greedy He said that he would try to kill her when he got back.
"If I didn't offend the eldest son, how could the eldest son vent his anger on the maid? The eldest son has never cared about the affairs of the inner courtyard. Besides, the prince is also the eldest son's cousin. How could he beat his own brother over a maid?" The maid said in confusion, this is actually Wang Shengxue's question.
When he saw this cousin in the past, he was always very respectful and never treated him lightly, and the people around him were always respectful. Wang Sheng was not stupid in learning, otherwise he would not have been admitted to the imperial examination. Once it was an accident, but the second time was nothing like that!
"You didn't offend the eldest son, you offended the person who is close to his heart!" Another maid sneered.
"Which girl is it?"
Wang Shengxue also stretched his ears. If he knew which bitch was the one who made the complaint, he would talk nonsense to make that bitch look good.
This time the beating was even harder than the last time, and it actually made his legs and feet lose mobility for a while!
"Where is the maid? If the young master is really interested in a maid, she can just go to the room to ask for it. Is it possible that the madam can't allow the young master to ask for a maid? I saw someone guarding the yard that day. My mother-in-law is delivering a message to the eldest son." The maid had a somewhat sharp voice, but her voice was not high-pitched. It sounded like a person who liked to gossip and was short of words.
But often the facts heard from such gossipers are more convincing.
"Which courtyard is that?"
"It's over there... isn't she locked up... Madam wants her to marry the prince... The eldest young master feels distressed... But really, she looks so good... how could she agree to marry the prince? ...What a sin..." The maid's voice became farther and farther away, and she was obviously going down another road.
Wang Shengxue stood still by the wall, his face turning blue and white, and his expression became gloomy.
He knew who the two maids were talking about, it was clearly Qi Rongzhi.
He had of course seen Qi Rongzhi when he visited Duke Xingguo's mansion in the past. Although Qi Rongzhi was beautiful, Wang Shengxue had always disliked her. For some reason, he felt that this woman was not a good one. She was as humble as a servant to other people in the mansion. , but when it comes to him, he seems to be superior to others, which makes people really dislike him.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xingguo called him over this time and expressed that she wanted him to marry Qi Rongzhi. Qi Rongzhi’s eldest brother was quite up to date. Although Wang Shengxue had no idea about Qi Rongzhi, and even said he was disgusted, Mrs. Xingguo spoke, and he naturally Just accept it.
When he could please Mrs. Xingguo, he would never hesitate. Besides, although Qi Rongzhi did not like him, he knew the current situation. I am afraid that none of the ladies from well-off families would marry him as his wife. The previous one was also good, at least there was a promising big brother behind Qi Ronzhi.
Although Magistrate Qi is far away in Jiangzhou, I heard that he loves his daughter very much.
The matter was settled for the time being. Mrs. Xingguo was very happy and said that they would be officially engaged to the two of them after a while. Unexpectedly, Shao Huaan couldn't bear it before the matter was mentioned openly. For that The woman actually found a reason to beat herself twice.
He couldn't swallow this grievance!
As soon as he turned around and limped angrily, he walked towards the yard of Mrs. Xingguo. Mrs. Xingguo had arranged this for herself, and it was not the bitch she had fallen in love with. There was a hint of evil in her eyes. In a foster care home, Moreover, the bitch who had harmed Shao Yanru's reputation actually wanted to plot against him. She really regarded herself as some kind of treasure!
He didn't believe that Mrs. Xingguo would not be angry if she knew that this bitch was secretly hooking up with her son!
"Miss, Miss Qi's yard was smashed up!" When Yujie came in panting, Shao Wanru was sorting out her set of acupuncture.
Picking up a thin needle and gently wiping it with a snow-white handkerchief, Qi Rongzhi's panic was something that was expected. Mrs. Xingguo paid so much attention to Shao Huaan, how could she tolerate it? Qi Rongzhi ruined his reputation and didn't even allow him to have the slightest flaw.
Hearing what Wang Shengxue said, Duke Xingguo was furious.
If such a thing had happened in the previous life, Mrs. Xingguo might have thought more carefully and would not have exploded immediately and had people destroy Qi Rongzhi's yard.
This life is different. On the surface, Duke Xingguo's mansion looks quite glamorous, but many aspects can no longer withstand scrutiny. Mrs. Xingguo's most outstanding pair of children were originally something she was proud of, but now they are becoming outstanding one after another and have a reputation. Unfortunately, Mrs. Xingguo was very anxious.
"Have you ever gone to the eldest son's yard?" The slender needle flashed in the light from the window, with a burning brilliance.
"Go. Madam went there angrily. I heard that she kicked everyone out. She came out not long after. After she came out, Madam's face looked much better. She even went to Miss Wang's place. The eldest son was there after Madam left. You can’t tell the look on your face after you go out!”
Yu Jie reported in detail and became more and more impressed by her young lady.
The young lady’s guess was close to ten, and she even guessed the reaction of Duke Xingguo’s wife.
"Went to Wang Yishu's place?" Shao Wanru put down the needle in his hand, his watery eyes flickered slightly, and he said thoughtfully, it seemed that Wang Yishu was going to take the blame again this time.
"I went to Miss Wang's place. The servant heard that Mrs. Xingguo asked the two maids to go to the kitchen to get some cakes that Miss Wang liked to eat. She also said that they should be lighter. She said that Miss Wang has been having trouble with her health recently, has a bad spleen and stomach, and is angry. A bit big!" Yu Jie also knows medical skills and curled her lips after finishing speaking.
Wang Yishu is now so sick that he can't even get out of bed. He also talks about his strong anger, body heaving, and bad spleen and stomach. Now everything he eats depends on his illness, and other aspects of eating are not a big deal. .
"Yujie, you have been with Master Mingqiu for so many years. Do you think Wang Yishu's current situation is really due to illness, or is it due to other reasons?" Shao Wanru asked with the corners of his lips slightly raised and his long eyelashes fluttering twice.
"How could I be so sick? I knew it was fake at first glance. I just fainted a little at first. How come I have been sick for so many years and still can't get up? It's obviously just to escape from being in the palace at that time." The things in there are things that are deliberately made up!"
Yujie affirmed.
Others didn't know what happened at the beginning, but she knew it very well. It was clearly Wang Yiwang himself who was panicking and made it like this. For this reason, the matter has become a headless public case even if no one knows it. He suspected Mrs. Xingguo, but because there was no evidence from Wang Yishu, the matter remained unresolved.
"Then why do you think Wang Yishu has been recuperating for so many years and not appearing in front of everyone? If she continues to worry about it at this age, it will really be a lifetime thing. Wang Yishu is not in a hurry?" Shao Wanru said thoughtfully.
It's possible to pretend to be sick for one or two days, or it's possible to pretend to be sick for a month, but she has never seen someone pretend to be sick for three years!
There must be another mystery here!
