Chapter 8 Acting on behalf of others
Xing'er listened to it, and was furious, and rebuked: "Bold! What do you mean by this that my young lady has framed you?
When the three mothers-in-law heard Xing'er say this, they all knelt down in front of Qiu Yuqing and cried: "Wronged, the old slave is really wronged, borrowing ten guts from the old slave, and he doesn't dare to arrange the master of the house, and it's still in front of Miss Ruyi?"
Qiu Ruyi looked at the three mothers-in-law coldly and said nothing.
Qiu Yuqing's face was unbearable, so she turned to look at Qiu Ruyi, and said tentatively: "Maybe there is really some misunderstanding here, my sister will dissipate my anger first, and I will hand them over to the steward for trial in a while, if it is really as my sister said, I will punish them severely." ”
When Qiu Ruyi heard this, she looked at Qiu Yuqing with a smile and said, "This is my sister's." Supposedly, this is my sister's house, and I shouldn't have overstepped my responsibilities to take care of this matter. But I am both the subject and the elder sister, so today I have to teach my sister how to manage the house. If they dare to choreograph, you shouldn't be so nice, I."
Hearing this, Qiu Yuqing suddenly raised her head to look at Qiu Ruyi, but under Qiu Ruyi's aggressive gaze, her head couldn't help but slowly lower.
The other girls also felt that Qiu Ruyi was too deceitful, and they all had a fire in their hearts, ready to help Qiu Yuqing at any time, but now they saw that Qiu Yuqing, who had always been sharp-toothed, had to stop for the time being.
Qiu Ruyi glanced around, and said with a smile: "This person shouldn't talk about the master, you must know that the wall has ears, and it is a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles, not to mention the backyard." Originally, there was nothing to do, but I was afraid that I would be heard by outsiders, and it may not be impossible to ruin the reputation of Mrs. and Miss with false rumors, and with the prestige of our Qiu family, I am afraid that we can only apologize with death. ”
The girls have always known that Qiu Ruyi is a spicy person, but today they know that her skin is thicker than the city wall.
Her mother and daughter don't have a good reputation, and I don't see how they apologize, but today they still have the face to mention the reputation of the Qiu family here. If it were a different person, these girls would definitely show their good eloquence, but when they met such a difficult master, no one wanted to quarrel with her and lower their style.
Qiu Ruyi didn't seem to see everyone's reaction, and was still talking: "Originally, I bumped into it, I shouldn't say much, I should leave it to my sister to deal with, but they said that it was my mother, you should punish it in front of me, fortunately, I know that you are a good person, and I am embarrassed to personally punish this elderly slave, otherwise, I thought you intended to protect them." ”
Qiu Yuqing hurriedly raised her head and said: "How could I protect them? I just think that the matter is not clear, we are a delicate daughter's family, for the sake of a few slaves and maids, the name of the girl has been ruined, and the gains outweigh the losses, so naturally it is better to leave it to the steward, and I am also doing this for the good of my sister." ”
Qiu Ruyi nodded: "I understand your kindness, but they dare to despise and arrange my mother, and I don't care about what is not a girl's name, I want them to know what it is to criticize the master." Xing'er, you go to the second gate and call Mama Wu and Mama Fan over, you don't have to alarm the elders, they are afraid that they have something serious, so as not to bother them. ”
When those mothers-in-law heard this, they immediately panicked, who didn't know that these Wu Fan and the others were the two Vajra protectors beside Qiu Ruyi?
It is rumored that the two of them came from the Zhuang family, and they worked in the fields since they were young, so they had great strength, and they had kicked off the legs and feet of robbers.
Although she is old now, her majesty has not diminished, and if the Qiu family's slaves fall into the hands of the two of them, they can break their arms and legs to go to half their lives, which is also Qiu Ruyi's magic weapon to run rampant in the Qiu family's mansions.
The three mothers-in-law were so frightened that they slapped themselves again and again, and begged: "Miss forgive the sin, it is the lard of the slave maid who blinds her heart and talks nonsense, and she will never dare to do it again." ”
Qiu Ruyi smiled at Qiu Yuqing and said, "If you don't come to a heavy punishment, it's really not good, you see, this won't be a trick." ”
A young lady named Yuzhan next to her couldn't help it, and said angrily: "Fortunately, my sister is a woman, and she can't be an official, otherwise I don't know how many cases will be tortured into tricks." ”
Everyone couldn't help but raise half of their hearts for Qiu Yuzhan, but who knew that Qiu Ruyi explained calmly: "I heard it with my own ears, how can it be regarded as a trick." After that, he raised his voice again and shouted to the three mothers-in-law: "You repeat what Fang just said, if you dare to make a mistake, I will let Mother Wu smash your mouth!"
Where did the three mothers-in-law pass through such an occasion, they were so frightened that their faces turned dirty, and they stammered and repeated Fang Cai's words again.
Xing'er asked: "Then why did you just say that it was a misunderstanding, it seems that there is indeed something, it is not my young lady who framed you." ”
The three mothers-in-law hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The slave and maid are afraid, so they lied, and asked the young lady to forgive me." ”
Qiu Yuqing looked up and saw that Chu Er was leading Wu Fan and the others and the steward in his house over, so she couldn't help sighing and said to Qiu Ruyi: "Since they have confessed, my sister has nothing to say, and it is all up to my sister to deal with it." ”
While speaking, the steward of the Qiu Mansion and a few others had already walked up to him, and saluted the young ladies first, and the lady in charge saluted Qiu Ruyi again, saying: "It was the slave maid who was not strict in discipline, so that Miss Ruyi and the young ladies were wronged." The slave maid had already heard Miss Chu'er tell the whole story, and she had just heard them confess their guilt, so the slave maid had them tied up and handed them over to Miss Ruyi to deal with. ”
Qiu Ruyi waved his hand and said: "What is the slave and maid in the house, and it is inconvenient for me as an outsider to ask, but they arranged my mother, if I don't ask for an explanation for my mother, it is not filial, okay, Wu Ma Fan, you go up to reward them two big mouths, I will no longer ask about this matter, and I will deal with it with the house." ”
The lady in charge smiled and said, "Miss Ruyi, just rest assured, there will be an explanation for this matter." ”
Mother Wu and Mother Fan stepped forward, rounded her arms, and each mother-in-law gave two slaps.
The three mothers-in-law suddenly had red and swollen faces and blood from the corners of their mouths, which frightened the young ladies into exclamation.
Qiu Ruyi's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "In this way, you can make an example of you, and see who dares to arrange the master in the future." ”
The lady in charge asked them to be escorted down, and then asked the lady how to deal with it.
In this way, it was the implementation of Qiu Ruyi's rumors that Qiu Ruyi was shouting and killing and beating the slaves at home, and when the young ladies looked at Qiu Ruyi again, there was fear in their eyes, and Fang Cai's matter was really scary, and everyone had no intention of playing.
Qiu Yuqing took the opportunity to say, "It's been a while since I came out, let's go back and rest for a while." ”
didn't mention how everyone nodded and came to the courtyard, but said that the atmosphere of conversation in the flower hall was thick, as if there was no noise when Yu Shi came.
Just when it came to her son's studies, a lady surnamed Sun asked Song with a smile: "Brother Cheng is a good one, he won the promotion at a young age, I'm afraid that this happy event is also near, I can't wait to drink his happy wine." ”
There was another lady next to him complimenting: "We Cheng Ge'er and the Fang family's family affairs, but the old lady set it at the time, and now Cheng Ge'er is also a man, but he didn't insult the Fang family's young lady, I saw that Miss Fang in Fenglin County a few years ago, but she is really gentle and beautiful, and our Cheng Ge'er is a match made in heaven." This year's little Dengke, next year's big Dengke, and then with the care of Brother Jing and Brother Rong and the in-laws over there, Brother Cheng'er's future is limitless, Sister Song is really a blessing. ”
Song said with a smile: "Then borrow my sister's auspicious words, as my sister said, it is also blessed by the ancestors, I only hope that all the children and grandchildren of the Qiu family can go to school and become officials, and the prosperity of the Qiu family is just around the corner, I just hope that we can all live to see this day." ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Qiu family back then.
At this time, Mrs. Sun smiled again: "I think this is very likely, there are several officials in our generation, and now Brother Yuan and Brother Cheng are all young and successful, and they will be able to do what my sister said." But I just listened to my sister's words, and the good things between Brother Cheng and Miss Fang are about to come close?"
