The Male Wife

Year sixteen.

The East Court is preparing to move all of its belongings away, while the West Court is beaming at the moment.

Hu Xiayun couldn't wait to take her servants out early this morning, and the reason was nothing more than because she had been planning a new rouge shop to open today years ago.

Originally, Hu Xiayun planned to let Uncle Jiang accompany him to the new shop, but Uncle Jiang refused without hesitation. Uncle Jiang said, "That's a rouge shop. Wouldn't it be too ugly for me to go there as a big man. Hu Xiayun , do you really have no brains? If the news gets out, how will I behave in Hwaseong in the future. "

Opening a store was originally a very happy thing, but after being scolded by Uncle Jiang, Hu Xiayun's expression immediately turned down, but he didn't dare to refute anything.

After the old lady in Xiyuan found out about this, she was also very angry, and wanted Hu Xiayun to come to her yard, thinking of giving it a good beating, but Hu Xiayun had already gone out to the new shop, so she had to give up .

Unexpectedly, something happened to Hu Xiayun on the way to the new shop. A group of beggars fought because they ordered food from beggars. Open, directly collided with the gang of beggars.

The horse was frightened, its front hooves turned up, and the entire carriage leaned back, while Hu Xiayun in the carriage kept screaming, and was finally thrown out of the carriage by the increasingly out-of-control carriage, facing the pedestrians on the street. Lie down on the ground and won't be able to get up for a while.

Hu Xiayun's sexual orientation plummeted as a noblewoman in Huacheng.

For a while, the passers-by on the street and the beggars who were still arguing a moment ago couldn't help laughing when they saw Hu Xiayun's appearance. The eaves were knocked over.

Someone recognized that the person lying on the ground was Hu Xiayun, and couldn't help covering their lips and chuckling. Not only that, some people directly called Hu Xiayun's name loudly, deliberately exposing Hu Xiayun's identity in front of everyone, which made her even more embarrassed, "This person Isn't she the eldest lady of the Hu family, the wife of the uncle of the Jiang family, why is she so virtuous, it looks... but she doesn't look like a lady should be at all."

Chunyi screamed, and then she came to her senses. She ran over, quickly helped Hu Xiayun up from the ground, and said with tears in her eyes, "Ma'am, are you okay?"

Hu Xiayun's well-dressed makeup before going out is all gone at this moment, and the neatly combed hair on her head is also disheveled. She looks like a crazy woman. Hu Xiayun roared and drove Chunyi aside, and saw Chunyi heading in the direction of pedestrians Hiding, she looked at Chunyi with vicious eyes, she staggered away with her skirt in her hands.

The beggars who had made a fuss should have realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't, so they curled their lips and hurriedly scattered around before everyone could react.

And when Hu Xiayun returned to Jiang's house in a mess, seeing the manager of the new shop waiting for him at the gate of Jiang's house, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt something was wrong, and said, "You are not watching at the shop, what are you doing here. "

The steward was stunned when he saw Hu Xiayun's embarrassed appearance, and then said: "Ma'am, something happened to the shop. This... the shop just had a firecracker, and before the customers could come in, a group of gangsters ran in and said they wanted to watch it." In charge of the venue fee, who doesn't know that Madam's shop is the Jiang family's shop. But the servant told them, but they didn't take the Jiang family seriously at all!"

Hu Xiayun immediately knew that someone was playing tricks, "Did they smash the store!"

"Yes!" The manager said with a sad face, this kind of thing happened just after the opening of the new store, and it was still during the Chinese New Year, isn't it unlucky.

Hu Xiayun's breathing was unsteady, "What is lost in the store?"

"All the rouge and gouache have been smashed, and the expensive spice packets have also been taken away." The steward said with a frowning face, "There are only two thugs in the shop. Where are the opponents of those gangsters? When our people react, then The bastards have already left. Now the store is in chaos, things are smashed and messed up, we... Madam, please make up your mind."

"Go to the uncle, you go to the uncle." Hu Xiayun spoke tremblingly, "I'll go back and clean up first, and I'll report to the police later." Looking at Hu Xiayun's appearance, the steward felt that she was a woman after all and couldn't control things.He used to think that Hu Xiayun was someone who could manage things. After all, Hu Xiayun opened several rouge and gouache shops in Hwaseong, but he didn't expect her... tsk tsk The manager was worried about something, turned around and walked towards Uncle Jiang's shop , in a hurry.

Hu Xiayun's legs were weak, and she hurried back to the house to clean up. At first, she wanted to report the matter to the old lady, but after thinking about it, Hu Xiayun didn't tell the old lady, and went directly to the yamen. Jiang San Lord.

Before Jiang Sanye was about to go to court, when he heard the master say that the person who played the drums to complain about his grievances was his sister-in-law, he stopped in his footsteps, and he felt that something happened at home, otherwise Hu Xiayun would never have lost his face to play the drums.

Hu Xiayun knelt on the ground. This was the first time she came to the yamen, and it was also the first time she knelt down to someone other than the elders in the family. She looked at the third master Jiang sitting above her, and she was a little dazed, "I ask the Lord Qingtian Help the women to be the masters."

Jiang Sanye sighed, "Say"

Hu Xiayun hurriedly told what happened in the store, and told the process verbatim. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said with hatred on her face: "This must be a conspiracy. I, the beggar who made me look ugly in front of so many people must be a conspiracy, I beg the old man to help the women decide!"

"How do you know it's a conspiracy." Jiang Sanye's heart skipped a beat, feeling something was wrong for no apparent reason.

If it was really a conspiracy, Jiang Sanye felt that he might know who the murderer was behind the scenes.

"If it wasn't a conspiracy, why would it be such a coincidence!" Hu Xiayun blushed anxiously, "I am so ashamed on the street, and at this moment something happened to the new store, it must be someone trying to drag me and prevent me to the shop."

Third Master Jiang pursed his lips and did not speak, his eyes were full of complexities, but Hu Xiayun, who was kneeling on the ground, did not see that there was something wrong with Third Master Jiang's expression, and said to himself, "Besides, no one in Huacheng does not know who I am, Hu Xiayun. People from the Jiang family, even though the shop is under my name, Hu Xiayun, it is actually the shop of the Jiang family. If they offend me, they are offending the Jiang family. Third master, you really..."

"Mr. Hu!"

Jiang Sanye's face was ashen, he slapped the desk, looked at the startled Hu Xiayun coldly and said in a deep voice: "This is the Yamen, not your Hu family, let alone your Jiang family!"

Hu Xiayun was taken aback, "Yes, sir!"

"I will handle this matter impartially." Jiang Sanye did not look at Hu Xiayun, and continued, "Master, I will take someone to the shop later, and then go and find out whether those bastards have a conspiracy, or is there a conspiracy at all. I don't know that the shop belongs to the Jiang family." The master and Hu Xiayun were stunned for a moment, why is the attitude of the third master Jiang so cold. "Mr. Hu, if you have nothing to do, then I will leave the court." Mr. Jiang slapped the table and got up to leave. When Mr. Jiang left, his face was extremely ugly.

Hu Xiayun didn't expect that Mr. Jiang would be so heartless, and he didn't even care about the Jiang family's affairs. She only changed a set of clothes when she got home, and went to the court to beat the drums, but in order to bring the person behind the scenes to justice as soon as possible. !

The master's expression is also a little embarrassed, why is the magistrate so indifferent to his own affairs, this... When they brought him back to investigate the case, were they serious or not?This is really difficult.

No one knows what Jiang Sanye is thinking now.

Third Master Jiang stood in the corridor, pursing his lips, with a rare expression of sternness. He remembered that when Chu Yiling entered Jiang's house on the third day of the Lunar New Year and threatened to marry Second Master Jiang, he and The day Pei Cheng chatted alone.

At that time, Pei Cheng said a word to him.

Jiang Sanye didn't know what Pei Cheng said at the time until yesterday, but just now when Hu Xiayun came to report the case, Jiang Sanye suddenly understood.

Pei Cheng planned to take revenge on Hu Xiayun at that time, and even vaccinated himself.

Jiang Sanye looked at the drizzle outside the corridor. Dongxue was about to leave, and the spring rain was coming. He remembered that there was a person who liked Dongxue very much.

Before leaving that day, Pei Cheng left an inexplicable sentence to himself: "Master Jiang, after we move out of the east courtyard, no matter what happens, Master Jiang will treat us as a family." I understand, "Yes."

Pei Cheng just laughed, "Then no matter what I do from now on, I ask the third master to see that we are a family, and we must forgive others. After all, everyone's life is hard."

Jiang Sanye's thoughts came back.Therefore, when Hu Xiayun's new shop was smashed and destroyed, there are nine out of ten things that Pei Cheng did. But just because he knew who did it, Jiang Sanye didn't want Hu Xiayun to say anything in court—Jiang Sanye I would rather protect the person who smashed his own shop, than find that person out.

The master came over, stood next to Jiang Sanye, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the villain will soon find out the truth about this shop, please rest assured, my lord."

The master thought that Jiang Sanye was upset that someone dared to smash Jiang's shop, so he hurriedly issued a military order to Jiang Sanye.

But Master didn't know, Third Master Jiang just wanted him not to find out.

Third Master Jiang said indifferently: "You don't have to go to this matter yourself, just send a few yamen servants to check it out."

"Ah?" The master couldn't help being surprised.

Jiang Sanye looked at him coldly, "Why, you have a problem,"

The master quickly shook his head, this is a family matter of the Jiang family, and it is up to the Jiang family to decide whether to conduct a thorough investigation. How could he dare to have a problem, he just said: "No. Since the adults have already made a decision, the villain will give orders later. gone."

"Ah."

Jiang Sanye thought of the difficult Hu Xiayun, "Let Mrs. Hu go back first, and tell her that the Yamen will handle this matter."

Master nodded.
