The lady is busy farming

Chapter 620 Scapegoat

　Seeing that the time was almost up, Xia Yingyun got up, "Sister Wei, we've been bothering you for so long, we'll be back right now. I'll welcome you at home then."

"Hehe, don't worry, there will be no delay." Mrs. Wei took Qiao'er and sent the mother and daughter to the second gate, and then let the mother-in-law take care of her and sit in the green sedan chair.From afar, Qiangwei could still see Qiaoer waving to her again.

After arriving at home and taking a short rest, Mrs. Nangong called the housekeeper over and asked about what happened on the street.Steward He didn't know, so after telling the truth, he remembered that the eldest girl and the girl from the third bedroom of the Song family were sworn sisters.No wonder Madam cares about this.

"Returning to Madam, there is still something to do in the court today, and it is related to Mr. Xia. As for the details, my subordinates are not too clear. Lord Hou went to the Ministry of War when he came back from court, and it will be dinner time when he comes back again." He The housekeeper reported back that Lord Hou was present at the time, so he should know better than anyone else what happened.

Xia Yingyun thought about it, and she was right, so she asked Steward He to go back, and told him to pay attention to the situation on the street, especially about the Song family.

"Yes, Ma'am, don't worry, I will be noticed in the near future. Come and report to Madam at any time." Steward He bowed to leave, and sighed in his heart. It seems that Madam really loves the eldest girl.Things that I have never paid attention to before, but now for the sake of the girl, I have begun to inquire about them.

Putting down Qiangwei and the others, let's not talk about it first, let's say that as soon as Boss Song returned to the mansion, he immediately went to his wife's yard.Because he was frightened and frightened in the court hall in the morning, his complexion was very bad, and the lady was shocked. "Master, what's the matter with you? But what's wrong?"

Boss Song looked at the wench and woman in the room, and waved his hands irritably, "You all go down, I have something to say with my wife."

Seeing the expression on the master's face, the girl and woman didn't dare to keep any of them, and filed out directly.When only the husband and wife were left in the room, the doctor said cautiously: "Master, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with your body?"

"Stop attacking that little bitch." Boss Song glanced at his wife with a gloomy expression, "You haven't moved yet, have you?"

"How can it be so fast, it only takes half a day, I have to prepare anyway." The eldest lady was puzzled, why did she suddenly change her mind? "Master, but what are you worried about?"

"Hmph, I can't wait to kill that little bastard without a place to bury him. I almost lost my official position because of it." Boss Song would get angry whenever he thought of the smug face of the censor, and Mr. Xia How dare you blackmail me.If one day I turn around, I will make them double the repayment.

"What? How did this happen? What's going on?" The eldest lady was frightened, isn't she just a little bitch?How capable can it be?Is it as scary as the master said?
"I was impeached by the censor. The reason was that I ignored the court law and abused my power." Boss Song gritted his teeth and slammed the table hard, splashing the tea soup in the tea bowl all over the table. "That's all for the censor, but he is still being held by the old man of the Xia family. He still needs to investigate today. If something happens to the little bitch at this juncture, he will have to blame us again."

"Ah, it's so serious, what should we do? Master, you are really wronged for this family. What can we do now? We can't let them investigate, right?" The lady trembled in her heart. I lost my job.The branch of their big house is useless.After a long time, still not being eaten alive by the second room?

"What can I do, of course I have to pay money. Ask Song Chuan to find all the people who beat up yesterday, and give some money to wipe this matter away. Apart from this, there is no other way for the time being." Old man Xia started his next court. After investigating, they must be ahead of the curve.

"Silver? How much do you want to give?" The eldest lady gritted her teeth, for the sake of their eldest house, she had no choice but to hold on.

"A family of 20 taels of silver, let's take 100 taels first, and let Song Chuan find it and send it out to appease you. Then you send a woman to follow and say a few good words. As long as the sufferer has no objection, they will not investigate. What happened." Boss Song thought for a while before speaking.

"100 taels? So much? Forget it, I'll go prepare, let the nanny go with me, and explain it to others." The lady was very upset, she didn't take the money, but posted a lot of it.But she also knows the seriousness of today's matter, and it's useless to feel distressed. If the master collapses, their family will be ruined.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady didn't hesitate anymore, and went back to the inner room directly.He took out a small silver key from his inner coat, opened a cabinet standing next to it, and put 100 taels of broken silver into the box from inside.After a distressed look, he took it outside the door, "Master, this is the money I am planning to make summer clothes for the children, you can use it first."

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Boss Song took the silver in his hand, sat on the main seat, turned around and told the nanny standing by the door, "Someone go, call Song Chuan over."

"Yes, the old slave will be called now." Mammy bowed, and she heard the general content. The most important thing right now is to smooth this matter out.Therefore, she didn't dare to delay at all, and directly ordered a little girl next to her to pass it on.

After a while, Song Chuan trotted over. When he entered the lobby, a tea bowl was thrown towards him, and it cracked at his feet with a snap.Scared, Song Chuan knelt down on the ground with a plop, "Master, calm down, master." He couldn't help complaining in his heart. He didn't know what happened when he was called over early in the morning.

"You useless slave, just because you committed a crime on the street yesterday, and let the censor catch you. This morning, the old man was impeached by the censor. How dare you tell me that you met me last night? You're a petty official. I've been in the capital for so long, and I can't even recognize the censor. What use do I need you?" Because of the anger he received in the morning, his heart is still trembling now.It's all the fault of this blind slave.How can I make myself comfortable if I don't vent it on him?

"Master, calm down, I'm guilty. I didn't recognize the younger one, so I won't dare next time. Please forgive me." Song Chuan knelt on the ground, sweating coldly. , It turned out to be the censor.But he went out to suppress public opinion, and he didn't dare to go until the master ordered him to go.Now that something happened, he became the scapegoat.

"Okay, master, don't be angry anymore, the real thing is to think about how to remedy it." The eldest lady said in a timely manner, "Xiao Chuan, do you still remember the sufferer who was beaten by you yesterday?"
