In the room, after listening to Xilan's explanation, Hongwen was so angry that she collapsed on the chair, and an ivory comb in her hand had already fallen to the ground unconsciously and broken in half. And Xilan, who confessed even after breaking her body, was already ashamed and crimson.

"You, you nasty thing!"

Hongwen trembled, suddenly raised her voice, and her voice was sharp, "Is this okay?" I only ask you, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old yellow flower girl, how can she know to do such a lawless and shameless thing? Another said, since you are determined to steal a man, why do you want to be not embarrassed and be discovered? Or was it seen by those two sluts again? Do you have to make a fuss and be an adult? And then I'm not clean!"

The more angry Hongwen thought about it, the more angry she became, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Xilan angrily, and said sharply: "You have done ugly things, why are you still so cheeky and come to beg me?" He also said that he wanted to live or die, and he clearly wanted to hold me hostage. If you are bent on dying, and they break it at that time, you should die immediately!"

Xilan, who was self-conscious, knelt on the ground, was mercilessly ridiculed by her grandmother, and simply broke the jar and broke it out, suddenly straightened her waist, raised her head and said: "Grandma, don't scold me, even if you beat the slave to death, the slave is willing to surrender, and now it's too late to regret it." But let me tell the difference!"

"You say!" Hongwen said angrily.

Xilan thought for a while and said, "For example, the robbers have already killed people and sold goods, even if they wash their hands afterwards and say that they want to be good, is it too late?" The same is true of slaves and maids, things have been done, what else is there to say?"

Hongwen sneered: "Do you mean to say that those who don't know are not to blame, or are you young and ignorant?" Once that strong man is exposed, even if he is old, he will have to be dragged out and beheaded, not to mention that even if he destroys the wicked of human nature, after killing someone, his life will not be stable, and there are gods on his head. You are the same, you know that you shouldn't be reluctant, but you still have the face to sophistry after defying the law? I'm so ashamed of you. ”

Xilan said unconvinced: "The slave maid still has a sentence that disregards shame and dares to go back to grandma." This matter is all to blame Mu Ming, the old man who usually goes around and flirts with people, three or four times, I was confused for a while and fell for him. At that time, my strength was not as strong as his, and it was useless to struggle when I was pressed on the kang, in short, I blamed myself for throwing myself into the net, and I couldn't blame others. In fact, many sisters in the house also like to make eye contact with him, and I am not the only one, God knows if they have done something shameless, but I have done it not confidentially. ”

"The more you talk, the more confused you become." Hongwen almost laughed angrily at her words, "Does it matter to you whether people hook up or not?" Besides, you were almost taken by someone else, and they didn't catch you, and now you want to climb and bite people? I warn you, if you dare to bite the Zhang family of the Xu family, especially the girl of the Xu family, you will wait for death. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Fu is well-known for protecting his shortcomings, after all, what Xu Hao did is reasonable in the eyes of later generations, such as not taking young men and women who are not married as sins in private, such as treating widows as natural to remarry, such as wives have the right to take the initiative to file for divorce from their husbands, and in the eyes of people in this era, many of the things he does are almost completely unreasonable, because there are too many rules and regulations in etiquette and morality, and they must conform to some social common sense.

Xilan is young in the end, thinking that this is not entirely her fault, and she is not the only one in the garden who wants to hook up with Mu Ming, it is just that she was impulsive and made the first move.

In fact, Xu Hao agrees with her point of view very much, whether a woman chases a man or a man chases a woman, it is the same thing, but how can anyone who is a skin-to-skin relative with the goal of becoming a marry, accuse him of being a hooligan? At most, it's not a big deal if the woman doesn't love herself, otherwise in modern society, most people are shameless.

However, in ancient times, women were always a vulnerable group, and in the case of Xilan, almost all public opinion would reprimand the woman for being lewd, beautiful, hot, frivolous, young and likable, etc., all of which would become the original sin that caused men's bestiality.

The most important thing is the etiquette and reputation that can kill, if it spreads, even if Xilan marries Mu Ming as she wishes, it is estimated that she will become a laughing stock in this life, in short, I don't know how many girls who are not psychologically strong in ancient times, and chose to commit suicide because of a thought.

Fortunately, Xilan is a daring character, and she doesn't care much about the so-called reputation, so she begged: "Now the slave and maid don't have anything else to think about, but I can ask grandma to read the love of the master and servant, and I can think of helping the slave and maid to settle this matter, and killing yourself will not protect your great virtue." Otherwise, the slave and maid will not escape death, since I have been wrong once, why should I be wrong a second time? I would like to wait for my wife to come back, and reply with desperate thoughts, or maybe my wife is kind-hearted and expelled me to marry Mu Ming, which is the great creation of the slave. Otherwise, I am willing to die with him without remorse. ”

This is all Xilan's heartfelt words, either Hongwen secretly settles it for her, or she doesn't confess in front of her wife, why would a girl and a little girl die?

The problem is that different positions will naturally have different ideas, in Hongwen's case, no matter how you look at it, the most unlucky person will be her instead of Xilan, first of all, the personal maid did ugly things, and she was disgraced first, you are happy, I still have to clean up the aftermath for you?

Hongwen is almost angry, I don't want to help you, so you just go and confess and be lenient? Whether Mrs. is as kind as ever, or suddenly angry and insists on cleaning the door, it doesn't matter if you are dead or alive, it is me who is laughed at! Even his own maid can't protect him, and if he has his servant, he must have his master.

And after all, Hongwen has a ghost in her heart, looking at Xilan's words, I feel that I am clearly meaning to hold her hostage what she did that day, which is the most unbearable, once Xilan exposes this matter, then it will be a stop!

For a while, Hongwen couldn't help but be angry and anxious, picked up a feather duster, gritted her teeth, and beat Xilan with her head and face.

"Kill you, an uncompetitive slut, it's a big deal that I'll pay for your life."

In the face of her grandmother's crazy beating, Xilan didn't seem to care, she wasn't even afraid of death, let alone beating and scolding? Not only did he not dodge, nor did he cry, but knelt upright, gritting his teeth and enduring.

was making a lot of trouble, Aunt Shen lifted the curtain and came in, and saw Hongwen beating Xilan lifelessly, knowing why, she stepped forward to stop Hongwen, grabbed the feather duster and threw it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Why are you so angry?" It's probably because my sister was neglected and vented on the girl. Say it, I will comment on it, whether it should be fought or not. ”

Aunt Shen gave Mei Nu and the others a look as she spoke, asking them to help Xilan out.

Hongwen, who was angry, was tired, and was trying to find someone to complain and put aside grievances and grievances, the most suitable person was Aunt Shen, but Mu Lanxiang was not, it was too embarrassing for everyone to meet.

Letting Aunt Shen sit down, Hongwen panted and said, "Sister, don't ask, I'm going to be by that little goblin." I didn't say anything about her, but only asked her what she had done, whether she should have been beaten, or punished lightly. ”

"Oops! A thousand cuts are still light?" Aunt Shen smiled: "What is the reason?" You are so generous, and you say so much, it's not enough. The family law violated by the girls, but they were lazy and didn't listen to the call, and even stolen, twirled right and wrong, and spread rumors behind their backs, which were the strictest things, but they didn't sin to death. ”

"Oh, I see." Aunt Shen pretended to be abrupt and asked in a low voice, "According to what you say, is it possible to make a mistake with a man's thing?" If you want me to say nothing, Xilan, this child is young, she is honest, and no one seduces her, she will never be like this. This is hard for me to guess, good sister, you dissipate your anger and say it directly. ”

The inner house is like an officialdom and an office, and it has its own way of speaking that has been formed over time, which outsiders can't understand, but Hongwen understands it when she hears it, and her face suddenly turns blue and red, and she guesses that Lu'er Xiang'er will run to sue her first.

So most of the time, she asked others, summarized in many ways, and found out that Xilan and Mu Ming had been in the house for a long time, and even ordered someone to enter the house to check, thinking that the two half-grown children who were doing things for the first time, how could they not leave a little clue? At this moment, he pretended not to know and deliberately came to ask, making himself dumb and eating coptis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering.

"Alas!" Hongwen let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "How can I talk about such a thing?" Fortunately, in a few days, my sister will also know. I knew that I was not strict in restraining the people under me, and I couldn't escape the responsibility, anyway, I was killed by that little goblin. I'm really embarrassed to tell you at the moment, my sister knows about a thing or two, and I don't have to pretend not to know and deliberately coax me. ”

Aunt Shen smiled slightly, seeing that Hongwen's face was full of shame, and she looked self-conscious, so it was not good to pretend again.

Aunt Shen moved her buttocks, approached Hongwen's side, and whispered in her ear: "Our sisters don't say dark things, so you don't need to hide your head and tail from me, you say I know a thing or two, that's good!" Although I don't know all about what Xilan has done, it's probably just like that, who hasn't come from a young age? So I'm here to solve this problem with you. ”

At that moment, she told Lu'er how Xiang'er saw Xilan and Mu Ming coming in from outside, how she picked up his handkerchiefs and sweat toveins together, how Lu'er went to tell his wife, and how she dissuaded her.

In the end, Aunt Shen said: "I was afraid that if I said it, I would make you lose face, so I suppressed it." After all, it's the girl in your room, and you have to be patient, call Lu'er in, and comfort her with kind words in person, so that you can ensure that she is safe. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Lu'er will clearly agree, and when his wife returns home, she will say it? It's because I have to say thank you, sister, so she was embarrassed to repeat. As for Xiang'er, you can rest assured, I guarantee that she doesn't dare to say much. ”

"Hmm." Hongwen nodded slightly, her eyes flickering, and her heart was in a hurry to analyze.

Aunt Shen knew that she couldn't pull her face, so she said earnestly: "This is my kindness, the private relationship between men and women is too big, and it's nothing to say small." Now that the matter has been done, even if you sue Mrs. Sù, it will probably fulfill them, but I am afraid that too many people will know about it, and there will be no light in the house. So let's solve it in private, not only taking care of Xilan's decency, but also saving you an annoyance, in the future, when the time is right, let it out with Mu Ming, wouldn't everyone be happy? My sister must not suspect that I instigated it, if so, tell me to strike five thunders in the sky. ”

Aunt Shen didn't say anything about Shufangting, she didn't want Hongwen to be embarrassed, but she was worried that Hongwen wouldn't be able to think about it for a while, so she chose to abandon Xilan to protect herself. And if she thinks that Lu'er Xiang'er doesn't know, and refuses to put down her body to compensate for Xilan, which angers Lu'er, she won't be able to fulfill her promise.

After hesitating, Aunt Shen faintly mentioned two sentences, so that Hongwen understood in her heart.

was directly accused of heart disease, and now Zi Hongwen completely lost her temper, her face was as red as blood, the sweat on her forehead came down instantly, and she choked up and didn't have the face to speak again.

For a long time, Hongwen was like a frosted eggplant, and said dejectedly: "Thanks to my sister's kindness, I am grateful for the reputation of the slave family."

Neither admit it nor deny it, of course, the look on her face can be regarded as an indirect admit, Hongwen immediately changed her words and sighed: "Speaking of Xilan's little slut, so bold and reckless, I will fight to bear it, even if my wife accuses me of indulging in wrongdoing, and the lord scolds me for neglecting discipline, I want Xilan to deserve it." Don't hide it from my sister, I talk to men to relieve boredom, we used to be familiar with each other when I was a girl, and when I met it, I inevitably didn't have a few words of laughter, but I never had bad thoughts!"

As she spoke, Hongwen seemed to have been greatly wronged, and said excitedly: "Anyway, I don't have a definite handle in their hands, and if I plant mulberry on those stones, I can't do it accurately, I am innocent, and I am not afraid of anyone spraying people with blood." Fortunately, my sister is willing to fulfill Xilan, so what else do I have to say? That's it, this time I will get off the donkey, since I obeyed my sister's orders, after the matter has passed, I must lead the little slut to my sister's side to kowtow and thank you. ”

After speaking, Hongwen got up and blessed Aunt Shen twice.

Aunt Shen grabbed her, pulled her to sit down, and said, "You and I are a family, your girl is my girl, gossiping, and each other's faces are not good-looking." It's just that this matter is not to be delayed for a long time, tonight or tomorrow morning, you have to arrange for Lu'er. I'm afraid that once my wife comes back, it will be inconvenient for her to speak. ”

"Got it." Hongwen nodded hurriedly, greatly relieved.

She was about to call Xilan to come in and thank Aunt Shen, when suddenly Xiang'er hurriedly walked in and said, "The old lady is back, and she has already gotten off the sedan chair, please go and greet the grandmothers."

Hongwen was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, no longer had the previous quibble, and pulled Aunt Shen and begged: "Good sister, you must fulfill me, Mrs. Bisheng came back so soon, which side did you ask me to take care of?" Tell the man secretly, and hold her steady with words. I'll just go see her right away. ”

Aunt Shen said: "Don't worry, I know how to do it if you don't say it."

Aunt Shen turned around and walked out, Xiang'er smiled at Hongwen, turned around with a hint of contempt, and walked out. Hongwen was worried, changed her clothes in a panic, and ran out in a hurry.

In the end, what will Lu'er choose to do next has become a question? (To be continued......)
