Chapter 234 Shi Family
Qiu Hong rejected him, Master Xia finally couldn't hold back his face, and angrily led his servants away.

Miss Xia came out with lingering fear, held Qiu Hong's hand and said, "Fortunately, my sister came in time, thank you Madam for your concern, otherwise I would have been arrested for Xia's family."

"You are married, but the Xia family is arrogant. Fortunately, Madam was worried and asked the servants to come and see. Fortunately, nothing happened." Seeing the groom holding the broom in his left hand and the hatchet in his right, Qiu Hong was about to fight the Xia family desperately. He covered his mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't be so impulsive in the future. Those nursing homes are all ostentatious, and there are so many people. If you fight, you will suffer a lot, or you will suffer a big loss. At that time, you will not take Xia The girl was protecting her, but she hurt herself, isn't it just a heartache?"

The groom was teased by her, and he showed a bit of shyness on his face: "If I don't care about it, I will be chaotic. I am afraid that Mr. Xia will not dare to kill anyone."

Qiu Hong glanced at him approvingly: "Your Majesty is smart, but Mr. Xia has taboos, he dare not kill, but it doesn't mean he can't use his hands and feet, telling you to live well, but life is better than death. There are many ways. It's on."

Miss Xia was startled when she heard that, she grabbed the groom's sleeve, her eyes turned red.When she thought of those nurses surrounding the groom, they might break his hands and feet and become a disabled person. Even if he was alive, he would live a miserable life.

The groom patted the back of her hand, comforted his wife silently, and thanked Qiu Hong, "Thank you for reminding me, girl, I will remember it in the future, and I won't be so reckless again."

"Just remember, Miss Xia will have nothing to rely on when you're not here. She's a man, so she can't rely on my wife. She's heavy now, so she shouldn't bother too much. If she can help, she's already meddling in her own business. After all It's an outsider, if the Xia family insists on doing it, and insists on saying that it's a family matter and won't allow me to get involved, Madam has nothing to do." Qiu Hong frightened and beat a few words, also to tell the groom to have a snack, but she can't have a hot blood and not let her Keep your life in mind.

Only when he was alive could he properly protect Miss Xia.Only by living can he give Miss Xia a better life.

The groom lowered his head, and solemnly agreed, only feeling that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy, but he was content with it.

Qiuhong handed the cakes and a brocade box brought in the basket to Miss Xia again: "This is what Madam asked her servants to bring, and the box is for Madam to add makeup to the girl, so it must be hidden away, don't let it go." Your Majesty saw it."

Miss Xia is funny, knowing that Qiuhong treats her well, this is just a joke to bury her husband.

The groom scratched his head and smiled honestly. The scars on his face trembled and trembled. At first he looked a little hideous and scary, but after many times, he felt that this man had clear eyes, and he was indeed a man of good character.

Even though he came from a humble background, his back was straight enough, and he didn't regard himself as the soil in the field, allowing others to trample on him.In the face of the original old club, he was not timid, but went all out to protect his wife behind him.

Qiu Hong nodded with satisfaction in her heart. In the brocade box were the bank notes that Gu Yunxiao had prepared for Miss Xia in case of emergencies.

Although Gu Yunxiao was worried that the dowry would be too ostentatious and would cause trouble for Miss Xia, so he only dared to send it secretly, at least the food had not been planted in the past half a year, and the family would not go hungry.

Miss Xia's eyes were red, she held Qiu Hong's hand and was about to bring her husband to kowtow to her.

Scared so much that Qiu Hong hurriedly dodged, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xia is like this, is it because the slaves shorten their lives?"

"Thank you sister, thank you Madam for me. I understand that for Madam Xiao, it is just a matter of little effort, but for me it has completely changed my destiny." Miss Xia wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "I used to believe in fate, but in the future I have been like this all my life, and I was sent to marry by my father in a muddle, just to pave the way for his official career, or to sacrifice for the Xia family. But now I also believe in fate. After so much suffering in the past, God let me meet Mrs. Xiao, now I have escaped from the suffering of the Xia family, and have a different life now."

Perhaps it was the spirit of her biological mother in heaven who protected her, but no matter what, Miss Xia was grateful and quietly held her husband's big hand.Although the palm had a thick callus, which was a bit abrupt compared to her white and soft hands, it was warm and powerful.

The groom's ears were reddish, he lowered his head and said nothing, but secretly clenched his wife's little hand, showing a happy smile.

Qiu Hong went back to report and sighed, "Miss Xia smiled so brightly that she almost blinded the maidservants."

Gu Yunxiao is funny, but the girl Xia who used to be similar to herself has also found her own happiness, and it is a good thing to get rid of her biological father who wants to eat her bitter flesh to pave the way for her future.

Qiu Lu went out to run errands for Gu Yunxiao, because she suddenly wanted to eat the signature dishes of an old restaurant, but she came back with a sullen face, and said after a while: "Madam, I met a woman at the end of the alley. Like Miss Ji."

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao couldn't help being surprised.Back then, when the Anguo Hou's mansion was on fire, the whole family of the second bedroom ran out, but Madam Hou and Madam Hou refused to leave, and they both burned to death inside.Ji Qingrou disappeared, searched all over Beijing but couldn't find it, she thought she was dead too, who knew she ran out at this time?

Qiu Hong frowned and asked, "Miss Ji is fine, who are you with?"

Qiu Lu hesitated for a while, and said vaguely after a while: "The servant followed and walked all the way. Miss Ji quickly got into the carriage and drove off. Looking at the markings on the carriage, it should be from Shifu."

Qiuhong understood: "Shifu, the servant of the household department?"

Qiu Lu could tell at a glance that there must be a lot of officials and eunuchs. Qiu Hong searched the list in her mind, and quickly said who came: "I didn't expect Miss Ji to go to Shi's house. No wonder Xiao Jiawei She was never found."

"It doesn't look like the main family of Shifu, but it looks like a side branch... It's just that the slaves are far away, and I can't see the front, and I'm not sure if it's Miss Ji." Qiu Lu is very confident in her eyesight, but at this time Some are not sure.

After all, what is a dignified granddaughter of the Hou family doing with the Shi family's branch?
Moreover, the two of them were so intimate that the Shi family members were even a little presumptuous in public.When Ji Qingrou is a female family member, she looks like those ladies from Goulan Courtyard. They are really shameless, and Qiu Lu is not willing to say it, which pollutes Gu Yunxiao's ears.

Without her asking, Gu Yunxiao could guess that the man from the Shi family would not be a good person.

After all, Jingzhong was looking for Ji Qingrou, and she was the granddaughter of An Guohou, so no one had seen her before, so how could she not recognize her?
It's really ulterior motives to keep him by his side like this.

Gu Yunxiao mentioned this matter to Xiao Xilin, and asked: "What is the origin of the Shi family? They hid Miss Ji deeply enough, and it is only now that the clues are revealed."

Xiao Xilin smiled and said: "The Shi family has a servant of the household department. This is a fat job. The emperor is quite optimistic about this servant. Maybe in three to five years, he will become the successor of the household department."

Hubu Shangshu is in charge of the wealth of the Qing Kingdom, and a person of integrity is needed to take on the role.From the emperor's view of him, it is obvious that his character is respected, but why are the children in the family so unable to stand on the stage?
"Xiao Jiawei went to inquire later. This person is just a side branch of the Shi family. His single name is Yan, and he reluctantly called the servant of the household department a cousin. He is attached to the master's family, so he came to the academy in the middle of the capital. His talent is mediocre. I'm afraid Han Chuang has studied hard for 20 years and can't make it to the top, let alone stand at the height of the Minister of Rites."

Gu Yunxiao blinked and leaned into his arms: "He thinks there is no way to study hard, so he found another way?"

Could it be that the one who captured Ji Qingrou was something from the Marquis of An Guo?
But the Hou Mansion had been completely burned down, and the things left in the treasury had long been moved to the palace and used as the treasury, and there was nothing left.

Shi Yan grabbed Ji Qingrou, what did he want to pry out of her?

Suddenly, Gu Yunxiao was surprised and said: "Could it be that Mr. Shi has vaguely heard that Ji Jiaqian is guarding a treasure house, so he wants Miss Ji to tell the location of the treasure house so that he can get the things?"

Even if he can't be an official, as long as he gets the treasure house, Shi Yan will have no worries about food and clothing. If he wants to be an official, he might be even richer than his beautiful cousin.

After figuring this out, Gu Yunxiao didn't know whether to be funny or to sympathize with Ji Qingrou's misfortune.Why did the news get out, or did it fall into the ears of a caring person like Shi Yan?

"Then we want to get Miss Ji back, or just look at it like this..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Xilin shook her head again: "After Miss Ji escaped, she knew that the Ji family was exiled, and she was worried about being discovered by the officials. After many rounds and rounds, she found out the whereabouts of the second lady, so she went there."

Gu Yunxiao was dumbfounded when he heard that, the second lady went to the Red Mansion, where official prostitutes stayed, and where Ji Qingrou, an unmarried girl, went to seek refuge, it was simply inexplicable.

Seemingly understanding what she was thinking, Xiao Xilin said again: "She can't bear it. Although the Red Mansion is unbearable, as long as you are obedient, the food and clothing are very good. Although it is worse than the Marquis Mansion, it is better than ordinary wealthy people's homes." But it's much better."

In order to live a life of wealth and honor like before, Ji Qingrou didn't even want to lose face?
Gu Yunxiao still felt that she was a little innocent. She was implicated by An Guohou, and finally escaped. Maybe she was caught by some villain, so she went to Shi Yan's side, and said that if so, it would be wrong to fish her out. What a problem.

But now that she knew that Ji Qingrou was willing to degenerate, she felt relieved.Shi Yan wanted to get the whereabouts of the treasure house from Ji Qingrou, but Ji Qingrou wanted to curry favor with this side branch of the Shi family, and then approach the servant of the household department.

She suddenly felt vigilant, looked at Xiao Xilin and said, "What does the second madam want to do, ask Miss Ji to approach the Shi family?"

Xiao Xilin sneered: "The Ji family was exiled, and the second lady was thinking of ways to search for money everywhere, so she wanted to do something on the road to make things easier for them."

It's just that compared to receiving ordinary benefactors day and night, where is it worth getting close to high-ranking officials, waiting for them to get news when they are drunk, and reselling them?
