This woman had also described the appearance of the person who ordered her before.
Ji Yue heard that the description was similar to Xiao Heng, so he brought him to Xiao He and let Xiao He make the decision.
However, he didn't expect the woman to identify Xiao Heng in public. He just wanted the woman to look at Xiao Heng a few more times.
At this moment, the mother-in-law's eyes looked in Xiao Heng's direction from time to time. Even though she didn't say anything, everyone understood that the person behind this was Xiao Heng!
The faces of Xiao's father and Xiao's mother were already extremely ugly, and the eyes they looked at Xiao Heng were filled with reproach.
Even Xiao Qingnuan couldn't help but look at Xiao Heng a few more times, thinking only about how his second brother's methods were becoming more and more inferior.
But Xiao Heng didn't care about this.
He picked up the tea cup on the side and used the cup lid to skim the tea leaves floating on the water. He glanced at the woman with his cold eyes and said, "Look at this general again, and you won't want your eyes." ”
After saying that, he raised his cup and drank tea, his behavior was scornful and as if no one else was watching.
Such a flagrant threat only made Father Xiao even more angry.
The mother-in-law was frightened. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Xiao Heng again.
Seeing this, Xiao He smiled faintly, looked at the mother-in-law, and said in a cold voice, "My second brother is just joking, you don't have to be afraid, he has always respected me, and he must also want to know who slandered his eldest sister-in-law. Right, Heng'er?"
The sound of 'Heng'er' made the old woman stunned.
As if she suddenly remembered the past, the mother-in-law suddenly remembered that General Xiao He was the first young man in the Xiao family to be granted the title of Xu Xu. His leg was broken back then, so how could Xiao Heng have anything to do with him now!
My heart moved slightly, but I could only hear a disdainful snort coming from the side.
Xiao Heng's voice was a response to Xiao He and a warning to the old woman.
The mother-in-law hesitated again.
I just thought that no matter how powerful the eldest son of the Xiao family was, it was only five years ago. Now let alone Xiao He, even King Pingyang is missing.
Most of the military power in Dajing was in the hands of Xiao Heng.
If he wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as killing an ant.
So, the head hung lower.
Qiao Nian sat next to Xiao He and showed no reaction from beginning to end.
After all, the sycamore leaf last night had given her a warning.
But Father Xiao was very angry.
Looking at the mother-in-law, Father Xiao shouted in a deep voice, "Speak quickly! If you don't recruit her according to the truth, our Xiao family will send you to the government for severe punishment!"
He deserves to be damned for daring to harm his eldest daughter-in-law's reputation!
Having said this, Father Xiao glared at Xiao Heng and warned the woman in a low voice, "No one can protect you!"
The mother-in-law was frightened, so she couldn't help but kowtow, "Master Xiao, please calm down, the woman said so!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Heng subconsciously from the corner of her eyes, but she was concerned about Xiao Heng's warning, and stopped mid-glance.
He just said, "The night before yesterday, someone came to the woman's home and handed her a letter, asking her to spread the words of the higher-ups. Letter, believer, the woman also brought it!"
As the mother-in-law said, she took out the letter from her arms and presented it with both hands.
Xiao He was afraid that a family scandal would be revealed today, so he did not leave any maids or servants in the hall.
At this moment, Xiao Qingnuan stepped forward, took the letter, and handed it to Father Xiao.
Father Xiao opened the letter and saw a nursery rhyme written on it, which seemed to slander Qiao Nian.
In addition, he also wrote some words to slander Qiao Nian.
It’s just this handwriting…
Father Xiao glared at Xiao Heng subconsciously.
This kid is not stupid, he wrote it with his left hand, and only he, the father, can recognize it.
At that moment, he put the letter away and then asked, "Why did that person find you? What's the problem between you and my parents-in-law?"
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly, "No, there is no festival. Women are the most ordinary people. How can they have a festival with the young lady? It's just..."
The mother-in-law wanted to speak but stopped.
Xiao Qingnuan was already impatient. Seeing her mother-in-law hesitating, she immediately became furious and said, "Stop dilly-dallying, say it quickly!"
Then the mother-in-law said timidly, "It's just that folk women like to chat with people everywhere, and they also sit around and chat with a few old sisters on weekdays, so..."
So needless to say what follows, everyone knows that this person is probably a woman with a long tongue who is famous in Beijing!
It's just that these long-tongued women generally don't have access to noble people, so people in the Xiao family don't recognize her.
But perhaps among the common people, she is the most famous!
The officers and soldiers in Xiao Heng's army all came from common people's families, so it was not difficult to find out the name of this long-tongued woman.
She must have known that this woman with a long tongue was capable of defeating a hundred, so she came to the door.
Father Xiao took a deep breath and finally asked the key point, "Then tell me, what does it look like to find you?"
He specifically asked what it looked like, not whether he was here, but he knew that this woman must not dare to tell the truth.
Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law lowered her head and almost cried, "It's dark at night, and the woman only knows that the person coming is a tall man, but she can't see anything else clearly!"
These remarks surprised Xiao He.
This is not what this mother-in-law and Ji Yue said.
However, in front of Xiao Heng, the mother-in-law did not dare to say anything, which was normal.
Anyway, his purpose today was not to target Xiao Heng, but to let Xiao's mother know that those rumors were spread by someone with ulterior motives.
Xiao's father did not expect that the woman was so timid. He looked at Xiao Heng and saw that the latter had a triumphant smile on his face. Even when he looked at him, his pride was not restrained at all.
He became more and more angry and shouted, "Asshole! It has not rained in the past few days. Even if it is dark, under the moonlight, you should be able to see clearly how old it is, whether the nose is high or not, and whether the eyes are big!"
I'm not asking her to see any details!
The woman was frightened and kowtowed repeatedly, "Master Xiao, please calm down. My old eyes are blurry and I really didn't see clearly. Master Xiao, please calm down!"
"What a joke!" Xiao's father snorted coldly, "If you don't tell the truth, the Xiao family will not be polite to you! Today, I must punish you with thirty big boards to vent my hatred!"
Xiao He was slightly startled. He didn't expect Xiao's father to be so angry.
Qiao Nian's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but look at the woman. Thirty strokes of the cane, this woman might not be able to bear it.
Unexpectedly, this woman instead bowed her forehead to the ground, refusing to get up, but her body was trembling, "I really didn't see it clearly. Even if Master Xiao beat me to death today, I wouldn't know it!"
Father Xiao was furious and was about to give an order, but was stopped by Xiao He.
"Dad, this person is not guilty of this, why not hand him over to the government for punishment?"
The Xiao family personally handed him over, and the government would definitely "take care of him", but it would never be thirty strokes of the cane.
Father Xiao didn't say anything, but his eyes looked at Qiao Nian intentionally or unintentionally.
Qiao Nian understood, and then he also spoke, "Yes, Dad, let's hand him over to the government for punishment!"
It was not until this "victim" spoke that Father Xiao nodded and responded, "Then take him away and hand him over to the government!"
The woman heard this and cried and thanked again and again.
Someone soon came in outside and took the woman away.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng also stood up and said, "It's nothing, I'll go to the army."
As he was about to leave, he heard Xiao's father shout, "Stop!"
