Chapter 19, self-directed and self-acted
Luo Qi was calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
At this time, Luo Ying also hurriedly chased after him, rushed here, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Luo Qi kneeling on the ground, and the broken teacup on the ground.
Luo Ying reacted very quickly, hid the joy in her heart, knelt beside Luo Qi with a panicked face, and said with a worried look:
"What's going on? Daddy, don't be excited, listen to my sister first. ”
Luo Ying's obedient words brought out Luo Qi's perversity even more, and the prime minister became even more angry, slapped the table, and shouted:
"What is there to say!"
The trick succeeded, Luo Ying couldn't suppress the joy in her heart, lowered her head and bent the corners of her mouth.
"Daddy, my sister has finally come back, she should be tired, she can't stand such a scolding, it's better to let my sister rest for a while. Luo Ying said deliberately and considerately.
Luo Qi looked coldly at Luo Ying's self-directed and self-acting here, and couldn't help but praise the other party's acting skills were really good.
But let her continue to say this, and before she could speak, her cheap daddy should have dragged herself out.
That's not going to work.
"Daddy, my daughter doesn't know what she did wrong, why did she arouse her father's wrath as soon as she came back?" Luo Qi raised his head and asked.
"I don't know what you did wrong? Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" the prime minister suddenly got up from his seat, pointed at Luo Qi and said:
"Tell me, where did you go last night?"
"Why did we come together this morning and find you missing? Thanks to the baby, she said that you didn't get into the carriage last night when you wanted to go for a walk by yourself, and that you were worried about going to see you this morning. ”
"As a result, where did you go!"
When the prime minister said this, it seemed that those speculations were conclusive.
Xiao Man, who had been trembling on the side, suddenly had a surge of courage at this moment, stood up, and said to the prime minister:
"Prime Minister, my young lady didn't want to go for a walk at all last night, my young lady was thrown at the gate of the palace by the second young lady!"
"Ah, Daddy, how could my daughter do such a thing, Xiaoman, I can understand your protector's heart, but isn't it good to throw all the responsibility on me like this?"
Luo Ying quickly explained, rubbing her eyes as she spoke.
It looks like he's been wronged.
Although Luo Ying is not the prime minister's biological bloodline, after all, he has been raised by his side since he was a child, and he has been very sensible since he was a child.
And Luo Qi, although she is his biological daughter, has not been by his side for more than ten years, and has a stepmother who doesn't seem to be a good stubble.
After such a comparison, the prime minister still believes in Luo Ying a little.
What's more, when you get up in the morning, there is really no Luoqi in the room, and it is a problem to not return all night.
"Xiaoman, for the sake of your loyalty, I don't want you to stay by Qi'er's side, not for you to be foolish. The prime minister said that he pointed at Xiaoman, his eyes full of disappointment.
After speaking, the prime minister turned his head and asked Luo Qi:
"Qi'er, tell you the truth, where did you go last night......?
The rest of the words were more difficult to speak, and the prime minister didn't say it, but the few people present could understand it.
Luo Qi shook his head and said, "Daddy, Xiaoman and I only stayed at the inn for one night last night, and nothing else happened. ”
"Since nothing else happened, why did you go to the guest house, why don't you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" asked the Prime Minister.
At the same time, Luo Ying also deliberately asked, "Sister Mo is not because she doesn't like it here?"
The sadness and questions in Luo Ying's eyes are very real, and people can't help but feel pity.
When the prime minister heard this, he instantly became angry, and shouted at Luo Qi: "Is there anything you are dissatisfied with after you return to the prime minister's mansion?
"This is your own business, if it gets out, your name will be lost, how will you marry in the future?"
Luo Qi shook his head and said, "I don't have anything to dislike about it. ”
"Sister, wouldn't it be because of what the national teacher said, she was dissatisfied, and she was so grief-stricken that she let it go?" Luo Ying guessed again.
Luo Qi didn't want to pay attention to Luo Ying, but now it was not the time to be silent, she stood up and said to Luo Ying:
"As far as I know, my sister has long been devoted to the third prince, if you talk about grief, it should be your grief, right?"
Luo Qi's words pierced Luo Ying's wound, which made her face change all of a sudden, glared at Luo Qi viciously, and then said to the maid behind her:
"Coincidentally, my sister went to report to the official today, and I happened to meet a few people, saying that I saw my sister last night, since my sister refuses to say it now, why don't you bring it up and ask carefully?"
After saying that, the maid ran straight down, and when she came back, she was followed by two men in coarse cloth clothes.
The two men didn't look very old, but they seemed to have grown up in an ordinary family with a bad family background, and when they came up, they tiptoed and couldn't get on the stage.
One of them was staring at the objects around him, his eyes shining, as if he was trying to make a small idea.
The other one looks more honest, with five big and three rough appearances, simple, but his brain is not very bright.
The two of them came up and kowtowed twice directly in the direction of the prime minister. Then he kowtowed in the direction of Luo Ying, and when he arrived at Luo Qi's side, the two of them suddenly changed their faces.
The man's face changed the most, and he looked at Luo Qi dumbfounded, pointing at her and stammering:
"You, you, you ......"
"What's wrong with me?" Luo Qi was also a little curious about what kind of medicine Luo Ying was selling in the gourd, and asked directly.
The man with the thief's eyebrows touched the man next to him, as if to ask him:
"Is this the girl we saw last night?"
Luo Qi suddenly understood that these two people probably wanted to slander her.
At that time, she will not be able to argue, but it will be really difficult to handle.
"Oh, where did you see me?" Luo Qi wanted to hear what they had to say.
"This ......" The man seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said for a long time: "It's in the Pinxiang Pavilion......"
Pinxiang Pavilion, that is the largest green building in the capital, many nobles will go to Pinxiang Pavilion in their spare time to enjoy.
There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't find.
But if the girl's family appears there, I'm afraid it won't make sense.
"I haven't been. Luo Qi said categorically.
"Sister, now that some people say that they have seen their sister, why does my sister still refuse to admit it? If she really didn't go, then where was my sister last night?" Luo Ying took the opportunity to ask.
"Qi'er, where did you go last night?" the prime minister also hurriedly asked.
It's not that Luo Qi doesn't want to say it, and he can't say it, besides, even if she says it, how many people will believe it?
At this time, several men dressed in the clothes of the servants came in and said to the people in the house:
"I heard that Miss Yan from the Prime Minister's Mansion is back, and someone went to report to the official this morning, let's confirm whether it is true. ”
