Chapter 115 Will he become a eunuch?
Everyone stared at the bellyband on Taoist Qingxu in disbelief, with only one thought in their minds: This Taoist is too indecent!
In the strange silence, a little maid suddenly screamed and covered her face: "Ah——"
Her cry brought everyone back to their senses instantly.
Xie Xiu suddenly sneered: "Grandmother seems to have been deceived by this Taoist priest."
The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Yes, that's right, I was indeed deceived by this Taoist priest! Come on, kick him out!"
Xie Xiu picked up the certificate of ordination that Taoist Qingxu had dropped on the ground, held it in his hand, and said with a half-smile, "Just chasing him out won't do.
This person did such a thing and even dared to cheat in the scholar's mansion. He was either a kidnapper pretending to be a Taoist priest, or a real Taoist priest doing the business of a kidnapper.
No matter which one it is, he must be sent to the authorities and must not be let off lightly!"
"That's right, we must not let this liar off so easily! Oh no, he actually wants to escape!"
When Taoist Qingxu saw that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran.
Unexpectedly, Tu Jiaojiao shouted loudly and hit him hard on the butt with a mace!
"Ow—"
Taoist Qingxu let out a shrill cry as he was knocked flying by the mace, falling face down into a bush of roses.
The cry became even more shrill: "Ah——"
Xie Ying suddenly felt a little sympathetic: [He won't become a eunuch, right?]
Tu Jiaojiao was about to go up and hit him again, but when she heard the words, her whole body froze. She quickly hid the mace behind her and looked at the Taoist priest with some guilt: Could it be that she... really let the Taoist priest become a eunuch?
No, she just hit the man's butt. Even if that man really became a eunuch, it would be none of her business!
Who made him so unlucky that he fell into the rose bush?
It’s all the gardener’s fault. He insisted on planting a bunch of roses there.
Tu Jiaojiao decisively threw the pot away, then quickly hid behind Xie Xiu.
Xie Xiu: “…”
He sighed helplessly in his heart, then called two strong women to carry Taoist Qingxu out of the rose bushes, tied his hands and feet, and sent him to the government office.
When Taoist Qingxu was carried out from the flowers, his pants were covered in blood, which was a shocking sight.
The men present were so frightened that their legs went weak and they dared not look any further.
On the other side, in Du Heng Courtyard, Xie Xin was kneeling upright in front of Chen Fang, with Xie Yi sitting on a chair next to him.
Chen Fang leaned lazily in the chair, silently waiting for news from Xiaoxiangyuan.
In order to avoid suspicion, she deliberately did not follow the old lady to Xiaoxiang Courtyard to demand an explanation. She could only arrange for the servants to go and watch, and then tell her everything that happened there after they came back.
Thinking of the wonderful show that was being performed in Xiaoxiang Courtyard, Chen Fang couldn't help but feel happy and smiled happily.
Seeing this, Xie Yi couldn't help but frowned and said with some disapproval: "Calling that child an evil star, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
The people in the capital are not fools, how could they not guess what's going on?
In his opinion, Chen Fang's move was not very clever.
It can be said that it hurts the enemy a thousand times and damages oneself eight hundred.
Chen Fang's face darkened immediately after hearing what he said: "Do you think I am willing to do this? If Xin'er hadn't caused such a disaster, why would I resort to such a bad idea?
The theory of evil spirits is, after all, better to believe than not. Even if some people don't believe it after it gets out, no one can prove that the old man is not cursed by that girl!
This way, Xin'er's reputation will naturally be preserved. Otherwise, if he gets the reputation of injuring his younger half-brother and causing the old master to suffer a stroke, how can you and I have a good reputation?
Now that things have come to this, we can only let that girl bear the reputation of being unlucky in marriage and put all the blame on her!
Even if doing so would arouse suspicion from outsiders, it would be better than letting Xin'er ruin my reputation."
Xie Yi also knew that if Xie Xin did something like this, there was no way they would be able to escape unscathed.
It is better to let Xie Ying take the blame than to destroy Xie Xin.
However, with that story in mind, asking the Taoist priest to assert Xie Ying's identity as an evil star would inevitably arouse a lot of suspicion.
Seeing him frown and remain silent, Chen Fang smiled again and said, "Don't worry, that Taoist priest has a legitimate certificate of ordination. Even if Xie Xiu guessed that someone was up to something, he couldn't stop it.
With the old lady around, even the master would have to believe it. Unless Xie Xiu dared to disobey the old lady in public, he would have no choice but to watch that girl become a bad star.
Xie Yi couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid his country girl won't compromise easily."
Chen Fang sneered, "If she really makes a scene and angers the old lady to death, wouldn't that just further confirm the claim that she's an unlucky star and will bring disaster to her relatives?"
Xie Yi thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case, so he felt relieved and waited with Chen Fang.
Xie Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, was smiling with pride.
After making the old man faint from anger, he knew he had gotten into trouble. Later, when he learned that the old man had suffered a stroke, he was terrified and pale, his mind filled with thoughts of his own miserable end.
Who knew that the mother was so powerful and directly put the blame on Xie Xiu!
Xie Xiu gave birth to an unlucky star. What good future can he have in the future?
Once this matter is confirmed, I'm afraid the old lady will be the first one to expel Xie Xiu from the family!
By then, what qualifications would Xie Xiu have to act like the eldest brother in front of him and his third brother and compete with them for the family property?
Since he has lived in the countryside for more than ten years, he should stay there! What is he doing in Beijing?
It was he who insisted on provoking them, so even if he ended up being expelled from the clan, he deserved it!
Just as Xie Xin was feeling proud, a maid ran in hurriedly.
"Madam, something happened at Xiaoxiang Courtyard!"
Chen Fang couldn't help but smile, and asked the maid with a smile: "What happened over there?"
Unexpectedly, the maid said in a panic, "That Taoist priest was dishonest and was beaten by the eldest young master's wife. The eldest young master said he was a kidnapper and had him tied up. He also said he would personally send him to the government!"
"What did you say!" Chen Fang's face changed drastically in shock, and she accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table.
The delicate teacup fell to the ground and shattered, but she had no time to care. She only anxiously asked the maid, "What do you mean the Taoist priest is not decent? Doesn't he have a proper certificate of ordination?"
Could it be possible that the Taoist priest could tease Tu Jiaojiao in front of everyone?
How can it be!
He is an old hand and has done this kind of thing countless times. How could he fail?
The maid thought of the Taoist priest's scratches and bellyband, and her face flushed with shame. She could only say awkwardly, "Madam, not only was the Taoist priest wearing a woman's bellyband, but it was also embroidered with... with those embarrassing paintings, and... and he also had a lot of scratches on his body."
Chen Fang only felt as if there was a bang in her head, and something exploded.
How could the Taoist priest she specially asked someone to find be wearing such a shameful thing!
Xie Yi keenly discovered the key point: "He wore his bellyband under his clothes, how could you see it?"
Chen Fang also suddenly realized: "Yes, how did you see the bellyband he was wearing?"
The maid thought of Tu Jiaojiao and shuddered suddenly. "The eldest young lady tore his Taoist robe apart and... smashed him into the rose bushes with a mace. When he was carried out, his pants were covered in blood."
Chen Fang: “!!!”
Xie Yi: “!!!”
Xie Xin: “!!!”
The three of them suddenly shuddered in unison.
