Chapter Forty-Eight: The Way of the Man
It is said that the tears of the beauty are gentle mounds, and when they saw the appearance of the soft and weak fourth lady who was almost about to cry, everyone couldn't help but soften their hearts a little. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qi Shu almost went crazy, and said angrily: "You slut dare to slander me?"
"Whether it's slander or not is immediately known. Qi Nian took the time to admire the wonderful looks on the faces of Zhou's mother and daughter, and Fang Shi Shiran said: "I don't want to debate right and wrong, but my innocence does not allow anyone to splash dirty water wantonly." So the mother, the daughter offended. ”
As she spoke, she glanced at A-Yao.
Ah Yao has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and she will understand it immediately.
She turned and pounced on Zhou, snatching the letter from her with lightning speed, which claimed to be physical evidence.
Everyone suddenly felt a flower in front of them, and A-Yao turned back from the crowd and stood beside Qi Nian.
Zhou almost sat on the ground with a frightened face, and was about to get angry, but he saw Qi Nian slowly open the letter, took out the thin letter inside, and unfolded it to the public.
From the moment she got the letter, no one present had their eyes glued to her hands. In the midst of so many eager and burning eyes, she showed everyone a blank letter.
On the thin, smooth and jade-like letterhead, there was really not even half a word.
Zhou Shi was really black in front of him, his legs were weak, he staggered a few steps and sat on the ground.
Qi Shu couldn't take care of it, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
At this time, the strange silence was like a thin needle densely piercing the nape of their necks, and the suspicious gaze of the people below was like a thorn in their backs.
It was already the cold season of late autumn, and Qi Shu was a little frightened to find that the corners of her proud and self-conscious mother's forehead, which should have been smooth and fair, were dripping with beads of sweat, and her hands were trembling slightly.
Qi Nian was satisfied and put the blank paper back into the envelope.
With the letter in her hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she slowly walked towards Zhou, who was sitting on the ground, step by step.
The servants who were supposed to be protecting the Zhou family couldn't help but retreat one after another, after all, the master mother who gave the order had fallen, and who of them would dare to touch the fourth lady's moldy head again.
Qi Shu glared at her angrily, and wanted to say something, but Zhou grabbed her hand tightly and signaled her not to say more.
Qi Nian didn't put Qi Shu's anger in his eyes at all, only smiled and bent down in front of Zhou's family, and said softly: "Mother, I will return this letter to you, if there is such a thing next time, please ask my mother to plan it completely first, and then call me to come and see this monkey play tricks." ”
The trace of disdain that flashed in her eyes stung Qi Shu deeply, and Qi Shu was about to jump up immediately, and the vicious curse was almost about to blurt out, but it still stopped.
Because I don't know when, A-Yao, who was supposed to follow Qi Nian, suddenly appeared behind her, and the short sword that had broken Zhao Laoer's hands and knocked away several strong mothers-in-law was taking off its scabbard, and the sharp blade was tightly attached to Qi Shu's slender willow-like waist.
Because A-Yao was close behind her, except for Qi Shu, no one knew that she was in danger at this time, and her life was hanging by a thread.
Qi Shu was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and the blood on his face suddenly retreated cleanly. Her back stiffened, her mind blank.
She grew up in brocade clothes and jade food since she was a child, and because of her special beauty, she was extraordinarily conceited, and no one around her dared to disobey her half a word, and she has always been reckless.
It's just that this kind of life is completely in the hands of others, and this kind of fear is the first time she has experienced this kind of fear.
She looked at Qi Nian, who was showing a sweet smile that was harmless to herself, and suddenly realized.
It is no wonder that the mother had to carefully plan for months in order to deal with such an isolated and helpless concubine who was like an ant, and they lost so badly.
She finally understood why her invincible mother was so cautious when dealing with Qi Nian, all because she was a crazy person with no scruples!
Qi Shu's beautiful eyes were full of fear, and she was almost sure that if she dared to say a word at this time, the sister-in-law in front of her with a kind face and a smile would not hesitate to signal her maid to kill her.
Qi Nian admired the trembling appearance of the mother and daughter, and after a while, he threw the letter on the ground in front of Zhou, and saluted to Zhou's gentle and obedient manner: "My daughter has retired." ”
She turned and walked along, and when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and called, "Where is Ziber?"
Qi Bo hurriedly came out of the crowd at this time, sorted out the clothes on his body in an embarrassed and quick manner, and bowed forward and said, "Fourth Miss, the old slave is here." ”
Qi Nian glanced at him expressionlessly, only to see that he was slightly trembling, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"You sent someone to escort that Zhao Lao Er to the official, sealed a hundred taels of silver to the jailers, and asked them to keep him locked up for several months, and then take good care of him every day. ”
When the subordinates heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads and shudder, these four young ladies were so ruthless!
Qi Bo was frightened and asked cautiously: "Then Zhao Lao Er has always been used to slipping his head, and he is also familiar with the officials of the yamen on weekdays, if there is no real crime, I am afraid ......"
He dared to see the lust and insult the third lady of the Qi Mansion. Qi Nian smiled coldly and said softly, "How about such a crime?"
Qi Shu was shocked, ashamed and angry, and screamed uncontrollably: "You slut dare to spew blood!"
Qi Nian ignored her, but looked at Zhou, who was trembling slightly, and asked with a smile, "What does Mother think?"
Governing others the way they would do is probably like this.
There was a trace of hatred in Zhou's eyes, how could she not know that if she didn't let Qi Nian go along today, I am afraid that this matter would not be possible.
Under the support of Aunt Qi, she slowly stood up, stroked her slightly messy clothes, she bluffed her face, forced the look of humiliation on her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes." ”
Qi Shu raised her head suddenly, and exclaimed with an incredible face: "Mother!"
Zhou didn't even look at her, but only tried his best to look at Qi Nian with a calm face.
Even if she is defeated, she can't cry and cry, after all, she is the master mother of this Qi Mansion. What if you lose momentum for a while, the days to come will be long, let's see!
