In the living room, Xue Qi and Liao Yunxi sat on the top, Xue Ying sat below, and Lan Geng knelt in the middle with the maid who pushed Xue Ying off the lotus pond.
"Geng'er, get up and speak." Xue Qi had a headache. He knew the arrogance in Lan Geng's bones, but in just a few days, this was the second time that Lan Geng couldn't kneel.
"Geng'er is here to ask for sin, and he doesn't dare to get up." Lan Geng lowered his head and sincerely admitted his mistake.
Liao Yunxi cleared his throat: "Okay, what have you done, what kind of crime are you pleased, and come one by one." ā
"I met Miss Xue San in Hexiangyuan today, I planned it alone, and Miss Xue San didn't know about it in advance."
Liao Yunxi glanced at the stunned Xue Qi and continued to ask, "Why?" ā
"Geng'er wants to apologize to Miss Xue San for her rash proposal."
"Apologize?" Liao Yunxi played with these two words and asked Xue Ying: "Ying'er, is this the case?" ā
Xue Ying's eyes were always staring at the ground not far in front of her, and she replied in a deep voice, "Yes." ā
"Then do you think Geng'er should apologize for this?"
Aren't you listening to Lan Geng's plea? Why don't you rush to pursue the murderer who hurt people, but you don't let her go? Xue Ying slowly raised her gloomy eyes: "Yes." ā
"Heh, marrying Geng'er, have you been wronged?" Xue Qi's nameless fire erupted again.
"Teacher, it's not like that......" Lan Geng hurriedly wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xue Qi raising his hand.
"Marriage matters, although it is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, but your mother and I are not such domineering people, you have an opinion in your heart but don't put it forward, what's the matter, are you keeping your stomach to slander me?"
"Jiajun!" Liao Yunxi saw that he was too much, and protested in a low voice.
Xue Ying closed her eyes and felt that her lungs were about to explode, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and they had to endure it until now. She looked at the maid who was kneeling behind Lan Geng and asked, "Why are you pushing me?" Why do you want me to die? ā
The maid seemed to know that she was dead, and she had always been lifeless, and when she heard Xue Ying's question, she raised the corner of her eyes and sneered at her with contempt: "Straw bale stone, you dare to touch Qiong Lin Meiyu, are you worthy?" ā
Lan Geng was furious: "Bold! I still don't know what is wrong! ā
This girl's bold words made Xue Qi and Liao Yunxi look at each other, and it took a while to react. was so surprised that Liao Yunxi forgot to get angry and asked, "Who are you?" ā
Lan Geng lowered his head: "Back to Shiniang, she is the maid next to my sister." Geng'er had no way to discipline her, which caused the third lady to suffer, and asked the teacher and the teacher to punish her. ā
Lan Yi did not hesitate to go on a hunger strike to oppose the marriage of Lan Geng and Xue Ying, Xue Qi and Liao Yunxi had also heard a little about this, but they didn't expect the maid around her to have a more fierce attitude, and even to "protect" Lan Geng's master even if she wanted to kill Xue Ying.
"She followed you at your sister's behest, found out you were meeting me privately, and pushed me into the lotus pond in anger, right?" Xue Ying asked.
"This ......" Lan Geng hesitated. If the Xue family wanted to punish him, he would never complain. But what Xue Ying is questioning now is related to Lan Yi, and he can't admit it so readily - it is about Lan Yi's reputation, and he has to be cautious.
"It's my decision to push you, and it has nothing to do with Miss. I'm green jade doing things alone, don't you want to frame my young lady and ruin her reputation! The maid said proudly.
"Green Jade!" Lan Geng scolded.
"Okay, then I'll just pursue you." Xue Ying's tone was steady, "I don't know if Young Master Lan is willing or not?" ā
Lan Geng hesitated again, and then said: "In the final analysis, this matter is my fault, no matter how Miss Xue San wants me to make amends, I will never say anything." ā
"But you're not willing to hand over this maid, are you?"
"Geng'er, that's what you're wrong. This maid harmed my family's Ying'er, even if she was killed, it would not be too much, Ying'er just asked your Lan family to hand her over, but you pushed back. Your apology is obviously insincere. Liao Yunxi couldn't help but say something fair.
"Master, this maid of green jade is new to the mansion, and she doesn't understand the rules......" Lan Geng's forehead was sweating, obviously unspeakable.
"It's still new to the house at such an age, it doesn't seem simple." Liao Yunxi twisted the lid of the teacup and casually dialed the tea leaves, but the words he said were faintly coercive. If Lan Geng didn't give a reasonable explanation today, no matter what Xue Qi's attitude was, she would definitely not be easy here.
Xue Qi couldn't continue to favor Lan Geng at this time: "Geng'er, what is the origin of this maid, you can make it clear." ā
"Yes. Green Jade was originally the daughter of Sun Jianying, the head of the White Tiger Dart Bureau. The Lan family once asked the White Tiger Dart Bureau to take a crucial treasure out of the customs, but encountered robbers on the way, and Sun Dangjia died with the robbers in order to keep the Lan family's treasures. When Mrs. Sun heard the news of her husband, she was also martyred in grief. The White Tiger Dart Bureau was leaderless, and it didn't take long for the dragons to disperse. Green Jade was young and lonely, and the Lan family felt the kindness of Sun in charge, so they took her into the house to take care of her. She is nominally Yiyi's maid, but in fact she is the same sister as Yiyi, so she ......"
"So, even if she commits a big crime, your Lan family can't hand her over and let our Xue family execute her, right?" Liao Yunxi finished speaking for him.
Lan Geng's forehead touched the ground: "Please forgive my master." ā
Liao Yunxi sighed slightly: "Ying'er, what do you think?" "It's really hard to solve. After all, this green jade's father is kind to the Lan family, and it is understandable that the Lan family is unwilling to hand her over; Besides, Xue Ying will marry into the Lan family sooner or later, if she insists on punishing green jade at this time, she will inevitably have a disagreement with the rest of the Lan family, and it will be she who will have a hard time at that time.
It's just that if you spare the green jade so easily, no matter who you are, you will feel uncomfortable, right?
Xue Ying stood up and walked slowly to the green jade.
Green Jade was quite respectful to the others, but when she looked at Xue Ying, she was full of contempt and faint pride, and she didn't feel guilty at all about what she had done.
"Do you think that in order to take care of the face of the Lan family, I will definitely not treat you too much, and it is even possible that in order to establish a virtuous image, I will not only ignore my past suspicions, but also treat you with courtesy and even deliberately curry favor?"
Green Jade's expression was obviously stunned, as if Xue Ying had said something on her mind.
"Face? Image? What do I want these things for? Xue Ying snorted, "Even if I kill you, who can do anything to me?" Anyway, now, your young master has married me. ā
Green Jade's expression changed greatly: "If you dream, my young master will not marry you ugly!" ā
"Green Jade!" Lan Geng was angry, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ā
"The purpose of your pushing me is to let your young master see my face and make him retreat?"
"I don't dislike you because of your looks." Lan Geng statement.
"Shut up! I'm asking her! Xue Ying suddenly turned into a loud voice, although there was no disqualified behavior, but the sudden outbreak of anger in her body made everyone present stunned.
