"Madam, Gao Sanfu wants to see you."
In the upper room, Mrs. Xie was lying on the couch.
The room has been cleaned, and the carpet has been replaced with a new one, still decorated with flowers.
The maid made another pot of tea and placed it next to Xie.
Xie sat up slightly and said, "Ask him in."
A moment later, Gao Sanfu walked into the upper room and said, "Servant, pay respects to the Madam."
Mrs. Xie snorted, looking unhappy, "Why are you still greeting me? I'm almost pissed off. Have the Xie family's father and son moved away?"
"Just left the house."
Xie hummed and asked, "Have you found out everything?"
Gao Sanfu said, "Madam, servants have found out everything. It seems to be a little strange. Maybe servants are overthinking it."
"Tell me about it. I will judge whether you think too much or not."
"yes!"
Gao Sanfu thought for a moment before starting over from the beginning, "Recently, Young Master Su and Young Master Xie have been on good terms, and they've been interacting with each other. Yesterday, Master Su invited Master Xie out for a drink, saying that he wanted to have a farewell drink with Master Xie before going to Beijing. "
"Did Xie Xian agree?" Xie asked softly.
Gao Sanfu nodded. "During this period, Second Master Xie has been keeping Master Xie under custody. So when Master Su invited Master Xie to go out for a drink, Master Xie readily agreed.
Servant went to the restaurant where they were drinking and asked and found out that the two of them drank until 3:30 pm last night before leaving.
Afterwards, Master Su went back to his courtyard to rest. For some reason, Master Xie did not go to his courtyard but went to a brothel and spent the night there.
Xie sneered, "Why else? He just can't control his lower body. Just like his father, a waste. He actually went to sleep with a prostitute, and because he couldn't pay, he was caught, and it caused a sensation in the city. It made me embarrassed as well."
After the ridicule, Xie asked again, "What do you mean by strange things?"
Gao Sanfu said cautiously, "Since entering the mansion, Young Master Su has always regarded himself as a scholar and disdained to associate with Young Master Xie.
However, some time ago, Young Master Su took the initiative to interact with Young Master Xie.
Also, Young Master Xie slept with a prostitute but had no money to pay for it. servants have never understood why. Second Master Xie is a wealthy man, so how could he not have Young Master Xie's money to spend? "
Xie frowned. "Hearing what you said, it does seem a little strange. Have you asked Xie Xian?"
Gao Sanfu nodded and said, "Servant have already asked Master Xie. Master Xie said that he clearly brought enough silver and money when he went out yesterday.
But when he woke up in the morning, the purse was gone. servant, guess it fell somewhere.
Servant asked him when he lost his purse, but Master Xie thought about it for a long time and had no recollection of it."
"What a waste indeed." Xie was extremely contemptuous.
Gao Sanfu lowered his voice and said, "Madam, could it be that Master Xie has been plotted against?"
Xie frowned. "Are you saying that he was tricked by Su Zheng?"
Gao Sanfu nodded.
Xie asked, "Why did Su Zheng plot against Xie Xian? Is there any conflict between the two?"
"Madam, have you forgotten about the second young lady's marriage? Maybe Young Master Su plotted against Young Master Xie for the sake of the second young lady."
Mrs. Xie had a gloomy face. "The marriage between the Gu family and the Xie family has been kept secret. How did Gu Jiu and Su Zheng know about this?"
Gao Sanfu said, "Perhaps one of the servants let it slip, and the news reached the ears of the second young lady."
Xie's hands tightly grasped the pillow, with a murderous look on her face, "I thought she came to pay your respects so early in the morning. It turns out that she knew there would be a commotion in the mansion, and she left the mansion early for fear of getting into trouble. Gu Jiu, bitch! How dare you plot against me. "
"Madam, what should we do now? Should we invite Master Xie back? Should we go and tell the Master?"
"Say what?"
Xie glared at him, and Gao Sanfu immediately lowered his head, looking obedient.
Xie snorted coldly, "Xie Xian slept with a prostitute and had no money to pay the bill, which caused a big uproar in the city and embarrassed the master. This is a fact.
Go tell the master that Xie Xian was plotted against by Su Zheng and Gu Jiu. Do you think it will work?
Humph, Xie Xian deserved it for being plotted against.
He couldn't see through any of her tricks. We can only say that she was obsessed with sex and was a complete loser.
How could the master possibly look down upon such a piece of trash? "
Gao Sanfu took the opportunity to flatter her: "Madam is really thoughtful; Servant is stupid."
"It's just that I'm unwilling to be tricked by that little bitch, Gu Jiu." Xie gritted her teeth with a grim expression.
Gao Sanfu asked carefully, "What are you going to do, Madam?"
"Where do you think Su Zheng is now? Can we still catch him?"
Gao Sanfu shook his head slightly. "Servant, afraid, servant can't get him back."
Xie snorted coldly, "Let Su Zheng go for now. When we return to the capital, we will have a chance to deal with him.
If I don't teach this little bitch Gu Jiu a lesson, she will forget who is in charge of the Governor's Mansion."
Gao Sanfu said quickly, "Of course the Madam is the one who makes the decision in the Governor's Mansion."
Xie raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Tell the Xie family father and son exactly what you guessed.
Also tell them that Gu Jiu is currently at Tianmen Temple worshipping Su Shi and will stay at Tianmen Temple for at least seven or eight days.
If Xie Xian is capable of making things happen, I will have a way to facilitate his marriage to Gu Jiu. Otherwise, you tell him to go back to where he came from. "
Gao Sanfu was shocked. "Madam, what if... what if the second girl is so depressed that she commits suicide?"
Mrs. Xie laughed, "Bitch Gu Jiu, it would be better if she died outside."
"Servant understand. Servant, go tell Second Master Xie and Young Master Xie right away."
Gao Sanfu took two steps forward, turned back, and asked, "Madam, the second young lady is accompanied by the third young master, and there are guards from the mansion protecting her.
What if something unexpected happens and the master finds out? "
Xie laughed sarcastically, "Gu Ting is just a fool. If he can't even deal with a fool, what's the use of him? As for those guards, they are even simpler.
Tell Xie Xian that if this fails, get out of Jinzhou forever."
"Madam is still very insightful."
Xie waved her hand and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I'm tired too."
"Servant, take leave. Madam, take care of yourself and wait for good news."
Xie hummed and muttered, "Don't let me down again this time."
Chun He squatted down and massaged Xie's legs.
She secretly observed Mrs. Xie's expression: "Madam, you've been tired all day; would you like to eat something? The kitchen has stewed old duck soup today, which is the best tonic."
Xie let out a "hmm" sound from her nose.
Chun He quickly ordered the little maid, "Go and serve Madam a bowl of soup."
The little maid took the order and left.
The old duck soup was served, but Xie didn't drink it. She just asked the maid to leave it on the table.
She squinted her eyes, as if she were asleep.
After a moment, she suddenly asked, "Is Yue'er okay?"
Chun He whispered, "Madam, the third young lady is currently locked in her room copying the family rules."
Xie nodded with satisfaction.
"Is Rou'er back?"
"The Sixth Young Master is still in the academy and has not come back yet."
Mrs. Xie thought of her beloved son and laughed.
Chun He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Madam finally smiled.
Thank God, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.
"Has the second young lady arrived at Tianmen Temple?"
As soon as the words fell, Xie opened her eyes.
Chun He lowered his head and said, "According to the time, it's almost time."
Xie smiled and said, "It's good that she be there."
