Chapter 132: A Big Heel Planted
Guo Zixing did not order the arrest of Ma Xiuying, because she could still come and go freely in the Marshal's Mansion, she wanted to leave, and the soldiers really didn't dare to stop her, and they all looked at Guo Tianxu hesitantly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Tianxu originally wanted to see Ma Xiuying panicked and even begged for mercy for himself, but people didn't look at him from beginning to end, and directly treated him as air, he said very unwillingly: "Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion is a capital crime, don't waste time on him......"
"Whether my husband has rebelled or not, the father-in-law has the final say, and the eldest son is not qualified to make a decision for his father-in-law. Ma Xiuying didn't give Guo Tianxu a chance to finish speaking, and interrupted unceremoniously: "If my father-in-law doesn't order me and my husband to be convicted, I will ask the eldest prince to let go." Guy, let's go!"
"Stand! My eldest brother let you go?" Guo Tianjue, who had left in a gloomy manner before, stood beside Guo Tianxu and roared, in his eyes, no matter how powerful Ma Xiuying was, he couldn't beat Guo Tianxu and a group of soldiers, at this moment he just wanted to get Li Qi'er in his hands quickly, how could he let the two leave easily, and jumped out and flattered Da Zhang's flatteringly: "Mother, you are in charge of the house's affairs, and the child wants to ask you for a maid." ”
"Well," Da Zhang's eyes fell on Li Qi'er, who Guo Tianjue desperately hinted at, frowning slightly, since the day she saw Li Qi'er, she was jealous of this female shemale, extremely charming like a fox spirit, and was afraid that Ma Xiuying would dedicate this woman to Guo Zixing, if she took the opportunity to give it to Guo Tianjue now, Guo Zixing would always be embarrassed to beat her son and woman in the future. Thinking of this, she said in a tone that could not be refused: "Your maid looks pretty good, why don't you give it to Tianjue to be a maid in the room." ”
In the past, Guo Tianjue wanted Li Qi'er countless times in front of Da Zhang's face, and Da Zhang's ears were almost calloused, but at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply trusted by Guo Zixing, and Ma Xiuying always stubbornly blocked Li Qi'er on the grounds that Li Qi'er was not a slave in the house. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang has lost power, Ma Xiuying is also a grasshopper after the autumn and can't jump for a few days, Da Zhang's family doesn't believe that Ma Xiuying still dares to refuse his request as the head of the marshal's mansion.
Form is weaker than people, and Ma Xiuying is really not good at opposing directly. She was trying to find a way to refuse, and Li Qi'er suddenly said in a trembling voice: "The slave serves the uncle......"
Ma Xiuying was stunned, seeing Li Qi'er's scared, shy, ashamed and helpless appearance, the incredulity in her eyes turned into a reality, she thought about it, and said to Da Zhang's with an expressionless face: "Madam, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that Li Qi'er is already my husband's maid, and it's really inappropriate to give it to Tianjue again." ”
"Impossible!" Guo Tianjue shouted jealously, unexpectedly that Zhu Yuanzhang had already picked this delicate flower. He regretted in his heart why he hadn't done it sooner.
"Could it be that my husband has to beat the gong and drum to inform the fourth son? Okay, next time there is such a thing, I will let the fourth son be informed. Ma Xiuying's mocking smile and sarcastic tone were just right, making the people around her couldn't help but show strange expressions.
"Ma Xiuying, you cheap ......" Guo Tianjue's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or annoyed that Li Qi'er was preempted by these words, he was just about to scold when he was shocked by Ma Xiuying's cold eyes, and finally he didn't dare to say the scolding words.
"No wonder looking at the dry eyebrows, it turned out to be a slut who specializes in climbing the master's bed!" Da Zhang scolded with disdain, she scolded Li Qi'er in her mouth, but her eyes were staring at Ma Xiuying. Thinking that no matter who Li Qi'er followed, Guo Zixing would have no chance anyway, so he felt a little more comfortable and drove the two away like flies.
The tree has a living bark and a living face, for the big Zhang family who pretends to talk about women's virtue all day long, no matter what the relationship between Li Qi'er and Zhu Yuanzhang is, as long as she has the reputation of Zhu Yuanzhang's maid in the room, the big Zhang family will never allow Guo Tianjue to be accepted into the room to make people laugh. Ma Xiuying knew that she had made the right bet, but she couldn't be happy, she glanced at Li Qi'er and left with her head held high.
The two left the kitchen one after the other, and there was silence on the way. Until she heard a low cry behind her, Ma Xiuying looked back and saw that Li Qi'er was wiping her tears, and an irritability suddenly rose in her heart, and she said sarcastically: "Qi'er, what I just said has damaged your reputation, but if I don't say that, I have to hand you over." If you are willing to serve Guo Tianjue, it is still too late for me to explain. ”
"No, no, the slave maid is unwilling to serve the fourth prince...... Li Qi'er raised her head, tears rippled with her mouth open and wanted to speak, "Madame said this to save the slave and maid, and the slave didn't dare to complain about Madame'......"
Whether you don't dare or not, the difference between one word means a world of difference, which shows that Li Qi'er still complains about Ma Xiuying in her heart.
Now I care about fame, why did I say something that everyone misunderstood. A wry smile appeared at the corner of Ma Xiuying's mouth, she claimed to be smart, but she made a mistake with Li Qi'er. Literally, it's right for Li Qi'er to serve Zhu Yuanzhang as a maid, but others won't think so. At this time, if Ma Xiuying still handed over Li Qi'er, she would undoubtedly be slapping Zhu Yuanzhang in the face, and also giving herself the reputation of being a jealous woman who could not tolerate anyone, so Ma Xiuying had to admit her identity according to Li Qi'er's words. What bothers Ma Xiuying the most is that in this era, women are the most important names, whether Li Qi'er is misleading everyone, or she admits in public that Li Qi'er is Zhu Yuanzhang's maid, she must give Li Qi'er an explanation, so that the words that originally prevaricated Da Zhang's became a fact.
It's just that I don't know where Li Qi'er got the confidence to believe that Zhu Yuanzhang can survive this catastrophe. At this point, Ma Xiuying still admires Li Qi'er's courage, and dares to gamble the unknown fate on Zhu Yuanzhang, who seems to be down, and she didn't see that Guo Daya, who had an ambiguous relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang, immediately retracted back into the house when she heard that Zhu Yuanzhang had an accident, without showing her face, let alone helping to intercede with Guo Zixing.
Ma Xiuying didn't know that it was her attitude that gave Li Qi'er confidence, if she panicked, Li Qi'er would definitely find a way out for herself. However, when Li Qi'er saw that Ma Xiuying was not in a hurry or impatient, if nothing happened, and she was still in the mood to take food, she knew that Ma Xiuying had a way to rescue Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, she can only go further by taking a stand, even if she makes a mistake, she is not afraid, with Guo Tianjue's second ancestor, it is a big deal for her to sacrifice her innocent body, I believe that Guo Tianjue will be able to protect her.
Thinking of this, Li Qi'er cried more and more sadly, she had to choose between Zhu Yuanzhang and Guo Tianjue to commit, but neither of them was Yao Tianxi.
"Then tell me the truth, what are your plans, if you don't want to serve Guo Tianjue, you can only stay in the mansion to be my husband's maid, if you are not willing to be a concubine, I will find a way to send you away or find you a good family to marry. Ma Xiuying sighed with mixed feelings, and asked dryly questions that she didn't really want to know the result at all. She knew very well that if Li Qi'er had the heart to leave the house, she was afraid that she would leave early.
With tears in her eyes, Li Qi'er bit her lip and whispered, "The slave maid said that she would repay her wife for saving her life, and she was willing to serve her and aunt for the rest of her life." ”
"I see. Ma Xiuying glanced at Li Qi'er meaningfully, and the situation really developed in the direction she was most reluctant to see. Although Li Qi'er didn't say it explicitly, her words that she was willing to serve her uncle for the rest of her life already showed her heart.
Li Qi'er's face was flushed, and she lowered her head to hide her flickering eyes.
Back in her yard, Ma Xiuying asked Li Qi'er to go down to rest, she hurriedly ran into the inner room, couldn't wait to untie her clothes, her chest was red and swollen, some scalded blisters had been worn out, and the tissue fluid inside flowed out, and she couldn't tear off the dirty clothes and flesh sticking together.
Xun Ying entered the house to tell the shadow guard about the arrangement, and just when she saw this scene, she was shocked, and hurriedly asked Ma Xiuying why she was burned.
Ma Xiuying inhaled and bared her teeth, "Da Zhang's and Guo Tianxu were guarding the kitchen and didn't allow me to take food, so I had to hide these green onion cakes in my arms and bring them out." ”
Xun Ying was angry and painful, and tears rolled out of her eyes, "What does Li Qi'er do, why doesn't she know how to help you get food? ”
"Li Qi'er, ah......" Ma Xiuying's eyes darkened, frowned, and told Xunying what Da Zhang said and Li Qi'er's thoughts.
Xun Ying stomped her feet, "What? Even if she doesn't want to say something like that to Guo Tianjue, it's obviously a deliberate misunderstanding." And how can you admit that she is your uncle's maid. Now that she's relied on, what can I do?"
"What else can I do? Now that this is the case, I can't force her to die. At that time, if I didn't follow her words and refuse Da Zhang's family, Guo Tianxu would have to leave her, and others would think that I was sending starling's woman out, but it was starling who was embarrassed. Actually, if she didn't say that, I would have thought about protecting her, but she was like this, alas, ......" Ma Xiuying said helplessly. If she could follow Lu Xiaoqian's persuasion and ignore Li Qi'er's life or death from the beginning, it would not have caused the current situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger. But if the matter were to happen again, she would still choose to save Li Qi'er, because her conscience did not allow her to die without saving her.
Besides, if a slap doesn't make a sound, Li Qi'er will have such a thought, it must be because Zhu Yuanzhang has hinted at it. The two have been eyebrows for a long time, Ma Xiuying wanted to find an opportunity to let Li Qi'er out of the house, but before she could make a move, today's incident happened. Now that things are on the bright side, she can't say anything about letting Li Qi'er leave no matter what.
"Madam, you are too kind, do you really want your aunt to accept her? This woman has bad intentions, you saved her and took her in, she is not only ungrateful, but also hit her uncle with her idea, her words today are clearly forcing you...... You might as well promise Mrs. Guo to give her to the fourth son......" Xun Ying was angry at Ma Xiuying's softness. Li Qi'er is about to rob her husband, how can she still help Li Qi'er speak.
Ma Xiuying's heart was very blocked, and she said sullenly: "You know what kind of person Guo Tianjue is, even if I don't like her anymore, I can't push her into the fire pit." Forget it, this matter has not been completely settled, and I will talk about it later, you can get me a basin of water to wash the wound first. ”
Xun Ying hurriedly found a warm water kudzu cloth, gently wiped it for a long time before slowly removing the dirty clothes, and then applied the prepared gold sore medicine to Ma Xiuying's wound little by little, and cried while wiping, "Madam, let the slave and maid do the food preparation for my uncle in the future, and you won't go." ”
"It's okay, it's scary to look at, it's not that serious. Ma Xiuying endured the pain and comforted Xunying. Seeing her crying so sadly, Ma Xiuying suspected that the person who was burned was not herself but her.
