Qingsong, the young man who followed Tao Rui, was full of his heart. When he went out to play with him, he did not forget to ask his family to watch the movements of the house, for fear of missing something that would make Tao Rui suffer.
In the middle of the night, Tao Rui leaned on the soft couch in the painting boat, eating fruit while tapping a folding fan, listening to the woman behind the gauze curtain and singing softly the most popular tunes of the moment.
Qing Song was called out for a while and ran back in a hurry, lying in Tao Rui's ear and whispered: "Shi Ziye, it's not good, my father said that the wife tied up many people in her house, gagged and stuffed it into the carriage and sent it out of the city overnight! Qiu Ju, who was in front of the wife, also ordered all the servants of the government to shut their mouths and go out of the government less frequently. This is to seal everyone's mouth!"
Tao Rui curled his lips and smiled, "It's nothing, they don't bother me. As for what they want, I don't care."
"But, but this is too unfair. In the past, you would be punished to kneel at the ancestral hall for making some mistakes. Now you have been replaced by the Third Young Master. It is said that the Third Young Master has already gone back to the room to rest."
"Yeah, are you still thinking about justice?" Tao Rui looked at the anxiety on this kid's face and told him patiently.
"On the third side, impunity is better than punishment. In the past, my father used to talk about him and teach them to the second child. After this, they will certainly be dissatisfied. If they go out to interact with others in the future, their speech and attitude can bring out some points. Mother wanted to keep his reputation as a high-ranking son. It was a wishful thinking."
Qing Song's eyes lit up, and suddenly thought of another thing, "Then the son of the world, did you expose him intentionally in front of those underlings? Those people sent away by Mrs. today are all people who can be used in her yard. There are 16 or 7 Lao Zi Niang with them. Only the four big maids of Qiu Ju are left. This is not a small loss."
Tao Rui nodded, "Yes, even if Qiu Ju stays a few, can you not panic? It's someone else today, maybe it will be them another day."
Qing Song thought about it if this matter fell to him, and the master would send the person who was able to use it to his ancestral home with just a word of mouth, then he might not be at ease, and he would no longer be deadly loyal to such a master.
The key is still conspiracy. Those people who hate Tao Rui can't hate Tao Rui, they will only hate his ruthless wife. But Madam didn't dare to bet, except for the four close-to-body maids, she didn't believe that anyone else could be tight-lipped. Even if the wife knew the result, she could only do so.
I am afraid that this night, from top to bottom in the mansion, it will be difficult for one person to sleep peacefully, and the next person will be anxious, and the masters will also hold their breath. He looked at the laid-back Shi Ziye in front of him again, and suddenly felt that he had underestimated Shi Ziye in the past. Seeing how shrewd Shi Ziye was, he would just throw them into the pit.
What can I do if Madam is like this? The wife is holding the inner house, but there is a way to punish the son of the world. Is it true that the son of the old man didn't like the old man and his wife, and the broken jar broke? This... the future is worrying.
Qing Song didn't understand what Tao Rui was thinking, and didn't dare to mention these things to Tao Rui, for fear that he would be sad. I can only wait on my side, thinking that I can be comfortable day by day.
How did he know that Tao Rui didn't like the dukedom of this country at all, and he was not uncommon for his partial parents? There is no need to worry about the future. Tao Rui can't put himself in even if he is released. Of course, he is not making trouble on a whim, but avoiding punishment and paving the way for his future departure.
In ancient times, Master of Heaven and Earth, no matter how old Xuan Guogong and his wife were raising the original owner, they would have a hat of filial piety on his head in the future. How unhappy? He doesn't want to be kidnapped by morality, even if he wants to leave, he has to solve the problem before leaving.
Anyway, given his current situation, it is impossible to know his own life experience, so he will have a good time. It is not him who is anxious. Sooner or later, someone who is worried about the position of the son will reveal the truth.
Tao Rui yawned and returned home when the sky was dark, and everyone asked the kitchen to make tofu skin buns and shredded chicken porridge. After eating, he slept comfortably and gave some people in the yard a vacation.
The aunts, younger siblings and others who received the news marveled at Tao Rui's growing courage, while Tao Qian and Tao Li were so angry that they didn't know what to scold him. They are now devastated and can't care about Tao Rui for the time being. Tao Bin confessed to them in private that he and Qin Ruo are affectionate to each other and that Qin Ruo did not marry.
The two of them scolded for a long time, seeing Tao Bin's persistence look a lot of headaches, and even hated Qin Ruo who was unscrupulous.
In their opinion, Tao Bin has always been wise and sensible, and he must have been bewitched by Qin Ruo when he took the wrong step. Then Qin Ruo knew that the marriage of the two fingers could not be changed, and he did not like Tao Ruiwan and came to seduce Tao Bin. It was really shameless.
Naturally, they couldn't let such a woman in, and it was extremely absurd to change their relatives. Although the Xuanguo Palace was no better than before, it still had a face.
The two ordered not to allow Tao Bin to go out, and specially sent Qiu Ju to watch in his room, not allowing him to contact Qin Ruo, only to heal his injuries at home.
As for Qin Ruo's side, Tao Qian patted the table and cursed "this woman is unworthy of being a woman". Even if Tao Rui is not his favorite child, he cannot let Tao Rui marry such a woman.
But I didn't expect that before they came here, the Qin family would come first.
The visitor was Qin Ruo's mother. She said embarrassedly: "My sister must also know what happened yesterday. Ruo'er was really terrified. After returning home, she kept crying and said she didn't dare to get along with her son." She sighed. He said, "As parents, we definitely want our children to be safe and happy. Our two families have been together for many years. At the beginning, we wanted to continue our two families for marriage, and we couldn't make a couple of grudges? So I thought about this marriage... …"
Tao Li's attitude is a little cold, and the address is very alienated, "Ms. Qin wants to retire?"
Mrs. Qin didn't think much about it, whoever comes to leave the family depends on the face of the person, which is normal. She talked about the way the family thought, "The marriage between the two families has been set for many years, so naturally it is not a trivial matter. However, this marriage mainly depends on our two families. If Ruo'er and Bin'er become a couple, we will still be married. The two families are good, and the elder son can also find a better wife. What do you think of my sister?"
Mrs. Qin was a little embarrassed when she said this method, after all, it was a change of marriage. But she was confident that the other party would agree, because it was their Qin family's concession, abandoning the wife of the elder son, and marrying the second son of the elder son. It was said that the Qin family had suffered. If Qin Ruo had been crying and refusing to marry Tao Rui, they would not have agreed to this method.
When the time comes, the Guogong Mansion will find a better wife for Tao Rui as a backer. Maybe he can still find a job for Tao Rui's son. Wouldn't it have the best of both worlds? The National Government has no reason not to agree.
She thought well, but Tao Li became even more angry when she heard it. This is clearly Qin Ruo's devil, thinking about concealing the truth and doing so, if Tao Rui had not exposed the fornication, she might really consider it, after all, the Qin family is also a very good marriage. But now, if she decides Qin Ruo for her son, she is afraid that this woman will hook up with others behind her son!
She said coldly: "I can sympathize with Mrs. Qin's love of daughters, but the Erlang in the government office of our country is not an item in the shop, for people to choose like this. Since Ms. Qin has no intention of my son, this marriage is over. It's good to exchange the tokens at home, no need to mention the others."
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously, "I am also here to discuss with my sister. If my sister disagrees, let's discuss it again. This is a marriage decided by the elders. Where can I say it and break it?"
Qin Ruo has been engaged to the Tao family for many years. If he marries someone else, he is afraid that his status will be lower than that of Tao Bin. High-ranking families are definitely not going to be successful, and Mrs. Qin is anxious and puzzled. Tao Li's made up his mind, "There is nothing to say about this, the twisted melon is not sweet, and I don't want Rui'er's marriage to be unsatisfactory, just let it go."
"How can this be done?" Tao Rui came into the hall with a smile before arriving.
Xia Rui followed him anxiously, bowing her head to plead guilty, "Madam, the slave servant didn't stop Shi Ziye..."
Tao Li waved his hand, "You go down." Then he said to Tao Rui, "I'm waiting for guests here, what are you doing here? No rules! Why don't you go to the study?"
"I have seen Mrs. Qin." Tao Rui saluted Mrs. Qin first, and then said with a smile, "I have read those books thousands of times. What's so interesting? I heard that my mother is giving me a kiss, so I must Come join in the fun."
Mrs. Qin frowned, and he said that the resignation was a part of the fun, and inexplicably felt that she was not respected. She wondered why Tao Rui couldn't speak so much to save her marriage. It must be beaten and beaten for the daughter.
Before I even spoke, I heard Tao Rui say: "Mother, you forgot? I don't want to marry Qin Ruo, so I told you to retire me. If you accept the resignation of the Qin family today, don't outsiders think she Qin Ruo? Can't look down on me? How can this work? I still want fame."
Tao Li's air said: "You are a man, and you still care about it like this? Is it possible that you want the Qin girl to bear the reputation of being retired? How can you ask her to find someone and how to live?"
Tao Rui's face was inexplicable, "Why did she get me wrong? How does she live? Isn't she choosing the way? And how does she find someone? Isn't she looking for a good next home? "
"Tao Rui!"
Mrs. Qin got up in furious, "How can you humiliate people like this, my son? Mrs. Xuanguo, please tell me clearly, even if you are the mansion of the country, my Qin family can't let you insult you!"
Tao Li's heart beats fast, and he walks quickly to Tao Rui and pushes him, "You bastard, let me go out. You can't tolerate your nonsense here. Don't even listen to your mother's words?"
Tao Rui stood there motionless, no matter how she pushed her, she looked at Mrs. Qin and said, "Whoever Qin Ruo decides to live with, you will know if you go back and ask? How can we tell you this? The three words "indiscriminate" are very ugly, I know, this is the first time I have said this to a woman.
But she has done things, can't I still say it? These three words could not describe her more appropriately. If she has half a conscience, she should leave her relatives first and then look for her husband, instead of looking for someone behind my back and wanting me to stigmatize me.
In short, this marriage must be retired, but if there is a slight stigma about me, huh, then no one wants a good reputation. "
Madam Qin fell into the chair in black, almost unable to get up.
She covered her heart and took a few breaths, and got up dizzy, "You, if I know you slander Ruoer, I, I will fight you hard!"
She didn't have the mind to ask them again, anxiously, she just wanted to go home immediately, grabbing Qin Ruo and asking exactly what was going on.
She didn't dare to think that if Tao Rui's words were true, it would be nothing more than a guillotine hanging on the head of Qin's house. The Qin family raises this kind of daughter, and all the married and unmarried girls in the Qin family are affected. Even their parents cannot escape responsibility. Who is the chopstick who tempted her daughter to do such a thing? She killed that person in anger!
Tao Li did not stop Mrs. Qin after chasing out the door. He went back to the room and raised his hand to give Tao Rui a slap in the face.
Tao Rui backed away with his hands on his back, his face suddenly cold, "This slap should be given to your other son. If the mother is so unreasonable, I will ask everyone from the clan to come and judge."
Tao Li's eyes widened, "You threaten me? What do you want to do? Do you have to let the National Palace be ashamed?"
"Then it depends on what you do. I will not care if I am innocent. I will be filial if I didn't directly expose Tao Bin's scandal to others. You can think about the rest of the matter before doing it."
