The boy who stopped Xie An outside was already in a cold sweat, especially Xie An's voice was getting louder and louder.
The boy complained incessantly, it wasn't that he wanted to stop it, but that the master's study had instructed that no one was allowed to enter his own study if he didn't pass it on. Naturally, no one included Lin Wan.
And now in the study, the master is with the outer room, if he is doing something that can't be seen, then if he enlarges the young master to go in at this time, he will not be the one to blame.
The boy had no choice but to try his best to block it.
Xie An was already furious at this moment, he just came out of the Imperial College, and heard the recent rumors in Beijing.
This is better than the last time when he heard that his father had a hidden illness and used his younger sister as an excuse, but Xie An was shocked by secretly drinking the medicine himself.
More incredible than shocking.
How can it be? These people must be talking nonsense.
What does it mean that the mother divorced the father? The Tang family and the Xie family have completely fallen out.
What does it mean that the father raised the outer room long ago, and now the outer room is still pregnant, and has already entered the house.
Grandma was even fainted by her father and that outsider, and she is still sick in bed.
All of these made Xie An dizzy, he didn't even care about the strange eyes of his classmates, and he didn't care about continuing to chat with his classmates, so he let the boy waiting outside to drive the carriage back to Xie's mansion.
On the way back, Xie An also asked Mrs. Yu who was specially ordered by Mrs. Xie to pick him up.
Now the only one in the Xie family who still misses Xie An is probably the old lady Xie.
Counting on grandson's return today, she asked Granny Yu to come and wait for her early. Mrs. Xie knew that her grandson might be affected by the recent rumors in Beijing, so she asked Granny Yu to come and explain clearly to her grandson.
So after listening to Xie An the whole way, he went all the way back to Xie's house with a black face.
After arriving at Xie's house, Xie An went straight to his father's study regardless of Mrs. Yu's obstruction. He wanted to ask his father if these were true.
Of course, the question was about the outsider's entry into the house. As for the life and situation of his mother at home, how could Xie An not know.
Xie An just pretended not to know, after all his mother and younger sister had nothing to do with him, they were both women, they had enough to eat and clothe, and they were looked after by others, they were just being scolded by their elders, why couldn't bear it.
At this time, Xie An had already blamed Tang Lihua.
He complained that his mother should not pay attention to the occasion, so she shook off the family affairs, and took a step back, even if his father kept an outside house, so what.
So what if it was carried into the mansion, the mother was the mistress of the Xie family from beginning to end, and an outer room was at most a side room, no matter how much the father loved him, could he go past the mistress
The mother really disregarded the overall situation, and even divorced her husband. She still had her own son in her heart, and had she thought about herself.
The more Xie An thought about it, the more angry he became, but now that his mother had returned to the Tang family, he couldn't question him on the spot, so he just went to find his father.
The atmosphere in the study was broken by the noise outside.
Xie Yuan's mood improved, because he heard Xie An's voice, he thought of Tang Lihua, and thought of the suffering he had suffered under Tang Lihua's hands.
It took him many days to get over the injuries from those whips, especially the kick that Tang Lihua kicked at the end.
It made Xie Yuan feel numb in his knees until now.
If Tang Lihua knew Xie Yuan's thoughts, she would probably laugh out loud. She really doesn't have that much skill, and that kick was clever. As for why Xie Yuan didn't slow down for so long, it was entirely his own psychology. effect.
Lin Wan naturally also heard Xie An's voice. She has been in Xie's mansion for the past few days, and she has already figured out the situation in Xie's mansion. She knows that Xie Yuan's eldest son is studying in the Imperial College and will come back every half a month.
It will take a few days to come back.
I just didn't expect Xie An to come back so soon.
While Lin Wan was thinking, a light flashed in the depths of her eyes, and then she smiled at Xie Yuan, "That is the eldest son of the mansion, maybe there is something urgent, why don't you let him in."
Xie Yuan didn't have a cold face towards Lin Wan, so after thinking about it, he nodded in response and amplified his voice, "Let him in."
The outer room of the study also guarded Xie Yuan's entourage, as well as the wife brought by Lin Wan.
Hearing the order, the attendant opened the door and went out, and then the noise outside stopped, and the door opened and closed again.
Lin Wan immediately saw Xie An who was walking ahead with his anger still on his face.
This appearance is good-looking, and she is as old as her own Li Shu, but she is a bit more extravagant and reckless than Li Shu.
Is this the demeanor of children raised by everyone since childhood
The light in Lin Wan's eyes deepened, and the smile on her face also intensified.
Xie An didn't notice the woman standing not far from his father at all. It's also because Lin Wan's dress was too simple and elegant, and she didn't have the style of being a housewife. If she didn't look carefully, she would be hard to attract. gaze.
Seeing his father's expressionless appearance as usual, the anger in Xie An's heart dissipated a little.
Still observing the most basic etiquette, Xie An bowed to Xie Yuan, "My son has met his father."
Xie Yuan only looked at him with a serious face, and didn't cry out.
The atmosphere in the study room instantly became weird. This was Xie Yuan's blow to Xie An.
After a while, Xie Yuan spoke coldly, but never called Xie An, "You learned how to make noise at the door of the study in the Imperial College?"
This opening was a question, which showed how dissatisfied he was with Xie An.
Xie An knew that he had acted inappropriately just now, but he really couldn't wait, he knew his father's temper, if he wasn't so tough, it would not be easy for him to see his father.
"It's the son's fault, please father punish him." Xie An admitted his mistake very smoothly, so Xie Yuan would not be able to punish him severely.
Xie Yuan snorted coldly, "Then go and copy the "Disciple Regulations" ten times, and hand it to me before returning to the Imperial College."
Xie An's complexion changed, and he repeated the "Disciple Regulations" ten times. I'm afraid he won't be able to enjoy this holiday.
Xie Yuan didn't care how Xie An complained, and said again, "You insist on seeing me, what is it?"
Xie An kept his posture of bending his back to salute, but his waist was already faintly sore, but his father didn't speak, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it.
"Father, my son came back today and heard many rumors, so I wanted to ask my father, are the rumors true?"
Xie An was fine if he didn't ask, but asking Xie Yuan made him even more angry.
Today, because of rumors in Beijing, Xie Yuan was called away by the court, Xie Yuan was in a bad mood, until he saw Guan'er, he stopped for a while.
Now Xie An's words brought back his bad mood.
Xie Yuan slapped the table, and glared at Xie An below, "You still have the nerve to ask me, why don't you ask your good mother, the reputation of Xie's family and mine have been ruined by her, you go ask Ask her, are you satisfied?!"
Xie An had never seen his father get so angry, and at this moment he was also agitated, and without mental preparation, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
Xie Yuan became even more angry when he saw this, he casually grabbed the inkstone at hand and threw it in Xie An's direction.
Where did Xie An have any precautions, when the inkstone hit him on the forehead, his eyes went dark, and his forehead also felt a pain.
"Your mother brought you up like this. You can't stand a big deal at all. I don't know what you are studying in the Imperial College. It's just to embarrass yourself!" Xie Yuan continued to be angry.
Now Xie An could finally hear that his father was obviously venting his anger because of his mother.
Xie An also felt very wronged at this time, it was all his mother, if his mother could bear this matter, he would not be blamed by his father.
While Xie An blamed his mother, he also blamed his father. He blamed his father for not venting his anger on him.
With all the thoughts in his mind, Xie An couldn't express them in front of Xie Yuan.
Just when Xie Yuan was about to get angry again, Lin Wan on the side finally spoke and stopped him.
"Your anger hurts your body, besides, the Eldest Young Master doesn't know the reason for it. Master, please extinguish the fire." Lin Wan stopped Xie Yuan's raised right hand, pulled it down, and pinched his arm gently. one time.
Only then did Xie An notice the woman, seeing that his father, who was in a rage, actually extinguished his anger just because of the woman's words, he was even more surprised in his heart.
He also guessed the identity of the woman more or less.
Xie An didn't feel fond of Lin Wan because of Lin Wan's small rescue.
How could Xie An have a good impression of being pregnant and possibly giving birth to a wife who threatened his status, not to mention according to Granny Yu, this wife is now the master of Xie's mansion.
Xie An hated her more.
Only then did Xie Yuan remember that Lin Wan was still by his side, and said softly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go down and rest first, and I will go to your courtyard for dinner."
Lin Wan nodded, but it was not good to force her to stay, she just said, "Then master remember not to get angry casually."
Xie Yuan looked at her with gentle eyes, and the two of them ignored the other people in the room for a while.
It's just that this kind of ignorance is only for Xie Yuan. Of course, Lin Wan pays attention to the expressions of other people in the room. She also does this for others to see.
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he was finally willing to let him go, and Lin Wan took the tray that had just been placed on the table and went outside.
It's just that when passing by Xie An, Lin Wan didn't know what happened, she stopped suddenly, and handed out her handkerchief to Xie An who had already stood up.
Just now Xie Yuan smashed the inkstone on Xie An's forehead, and at some point it was stained with ink. At this time, there was also a black mark on Xie An's forehead.
"Young Master has something dirty on his forehead, wipe it off." Lin Wan's voice was gentle, and there was a kind smile on her face.
In Xie An's eyes, he always felt full of malice.
Who knows if there is something else on the handkerchief, or if the outer room is trying to harm him.
It's no wonder Xie Anduo thought, Xie's family didn't have a side room in the past, and he was raised under his grandmother's lap, so he didn't see much privacy in the back house.
But not all of his classmates in the Imperial College were like the Xie family. Xie An also heard a lot about the methods used by wives and concubines in the back house to compete for favor.
So now Xie An is mostly on guard against Lin Wan.
But because his father was present, he couldn't do anything, he just refused in a cold tone.
As if she couldn't see Xie An's repelling attitude, Lin Wan moved the handkerchief closer to Xie An, almost under Xie An's nose.
Xie An felt restless, so he wanted to push with his hands.
As soon as he touched the veil, he saw that Lin Wan's body was unstable, and the tray in the other hand also wobbled and fell to the ground.
Lin Wan even fell to the ground directly.
