543. Preservation
Yao left, and Zhu was about to rest, when a girl came to report in a panic that something had happened in the garden. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Miss Zhong and Miss Yu quarreled, Miss Zhong couldn't argue, she cried and ran away, but she was not familiar with the road in the garden, and she accidentally broke into the courtyard of the fourth young master, but she didn't expect the second young master to be ...... also"
"Do you mean that the second young master met the face of the Zhong family?" Zhu asked, this is not a big deal, and it is not a private meeting, it is a pure misunderstanding, isn't it good to pay a loss......?" Which young lady of the Yu family?"
"Yes, Miss Zhong is here with Mrs. Zhong today!" the girl replied, "Miss Yu is Miss Yu Wu, the younger sister of the eldest and youngest grandmother!"
Why did you quarrel so much? Zhu Shi only felt a headache, stroked his forehead and said, "Go and call the second young master, let him apologize to Miss Zhong, and I'll go and appease and appease again!"
The girl said angrily, "That's not the case...... Miss Yu Wu is the younger sister of the eldest young grandmother, and Miss Zhong just happened to bump into the second young master...... Mrs. Zhong felt that we did it deliberately, deliberately letting Miss Yu Wu quarrel with Miss Zhong, and arranging for the girl to secretly guide Miss Zhong to meet the second young master, in order to ruin Miss Zhong's reputation!"
Zhu Shi was dumbfounded, "This ...... This...... Is this what Mrs. Zhong said?" can you still misinterpret it like this? Zhu Shi felt that he really had a long insight!
Yu Ruoyan and the Zhu family have seen it, although it is not gentle, but it is by no means a barbaric lord who can quarrel with strangers for no reason, and scold people for crying, and the Yao family and the Zhong family have no grievances in the past, and they have no enmity recently, why frame Miss Zhong? Even if they want to be framed, they can't be guilty of taking their own flesh and blood in their own home.
"Yes!" the girl said, "Originally, Miss Yu Wu was talking with the eldest and young grandmothers, Miss Zhong didn't know why she suddenly appeared next to her, Miss Yu Wu was startled, she took a step back, and accidentally stepped on Miss Zhong's skirt, Miss Yu Wu was busy making amends, but Miss Zhong didn't give up, Miss Yu said two angry words in a fit of anger, but Miss Zhong couldn't stand it, turned her head and ran away......"
Mrs. Zhong protected the crying out of breath Miss Zhong and sat in the room temporarily vacated by Cui Yao with an angry face, Yao Qichen was slapped by the angry Mrs. Zhong, and was taken down by the girl to deal with the injury, the most innocent was Yao Qibin, who was standing at the door of the main room with a notebook, half hiding behind the door, tilting his head to look at the situation in the yard.
The Zhu family had just entered the door, and before he could speak, the Xiao family, who had rushed over, said, "It's all our negligence, and Miss Zhong has been wronged!"
Madame Zhong's anger did not diminish in the slightest, "A word of negligence can make up for my daughter's innocence?
I didn't expect Mrs. Zhong's temper to be so hot, and she was beaten with a slap on her face, Xiao's peaceful smile froze, and she reluctantly said, "People inevitably have a time when they make mistakes......
Mrs. Zhong immediately answered, "So you are admitting that you did something wrong?"
"This ...... This ...... "Xiao just wanted to humbly express the dereliction of duty of the Hou Mansion, but he didn't expect Mrs. Zhong to pierce it straight to the point."
Only then did Zhu Shi say, "There is something wrong in our house, but I just asked the mother-in-law who guarded the door, and they stopped Miss Zhong, saying that this is the courtyard of our fourth young master, and it was Miss Zhong who insisted on breaking in, so you really can't blame our second young master, right?"
Mrs. Zhong's face turned pale and said toughly, "The little girl's family, crying and wearing makeup, is when she feels ashamed, where can she care about listening to what they say, just laughing at her, naturally thinking about hiding!"
Xiao saw that he was scolded by Mrs. Zhong, but he was very polite to Mrs. Zhong of the Zhu family, and he was not convinced, and Zhu Shi saw that he was embarrassed but did not help, and he held a grudge in his heart, so he helped Mrs. Zhong and said, "How old is Miss Zhong, and her mother-in-law is vulgar, and what she says is not good to hear, and there are a few who are willing to listen!"
"Yes!" Zhu ignored Xiao's words and said with a smile, "Look, it is inappropriate for the second young master to come to the inner courtyard to see his younger brother at this time, and Miss Zhong is also wrong to trespass regardless of it, this matter is even between our two families, what do you think?"
Xiao was ignored by Zhu, snorted angrily, found a chair and sat down to sulk.
"It's flattened?" Mrs. Zhong said angrily, "It's my daughter who suffers, but your second young master doesn't lose a single hair!
It really can't be considered a tie, Miss Zhong is here now, Yao Qichen has been beaten by Mrs. Zhong, if you want to say a loss, it should be the Yao family's loss.
Mrs. Zhong was clearly unreasonable, and Zhu's patience slowly ran out, "What loss did Miss Zhong suffer? Our second young master is a scholar, and he is the most polite, I just asked the girls, and the second young master immediately turned around as soon as he heard the voice of a female dependent, and he didn't see Miss Zhong's face, where did Miss Zhong suffer this loss? On the contrary, Mrs. Zhong, you kept talking about your innocence, as if you were afraid that we would not know! Could it be that Mrs. Zhong, you wish that Miss Zhong's reputation would be hindered?"
Although Yao Qichen is not a righteous gentleman, he is a sinister villain, and the Zhu family himself doesn't like him, but in front of outsiders, he still says that he is very bright and upright, not close to women, otherwise it will be more difficult to end today's matter.
Mrs. Zhong blushed angrily and said, "You...... She's my own daughter, and I'm all for her good!"
Zhu Shi smiled lightly, "You still know that it's good for Miss Zhong's good, why don't you just talk about it, what do you want to do with this matter?"
Zhu Shi threw the question to Mrs. Zhong at first, Mrs. Zhong couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a moment but refused to give a clear answer, just said, "The Changxiang Hou Mansion is also a family with a head and a face, and will not bully our small family, I believe that Mrs. will give my daughter an explanation!"
Changxiang Houfu is indeed a family with a head and a face, but the Zhong family is not a small family, really speaking, Lord Zhong is an official position of the third grade, a few levels higher than Yao Chongming, but the place of the General Administration Department is a top idle yamen, and the general political envoy can almost be said to have no real power, so Lord Zhong, the general political envoy of the third grade, has to be polite when he sees the officials with real power of the fifth grade or even the sixth grade, so the officials who serve in the General Administration Department like to call themselves Pengmen, and the Zhong family is no exception.
Mrs. Zhong said that there was some bargaining, and Zhu didn't want to entangle more, so she just said, "Madame, don't say that, I'm a big-eyed person, and I don't look at some small things, if I make a decision, I'm afraid that Madame will be dissatisfied, it's better for Mrs. Zhong to tell her own requirements, I will do what I can do, and I will never shirk!"
Mrs. Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "There is nothing else, I am worried that today's incident has spread and damaged my daughter's reputation, and her family affairs have been hindered, if Madame can protect my daughter's reputation, I will be very satisfied!"
