Chapter 24: Forcing the stepmother to prove it for her
Zeng Mingyue couldn't be angry, so she stood up and said: "Mrs. Bai, the matter is not what Miss Bai Er said, this slave doesn't know the severity, and dares to slander Sister Mu Hibiscus, Sister Mu Hibiscus helped Miss Bai Er to reprimand her, and it was Miss Bai Er who was angry and fought with the girl!"
This is obviously the maintenance of Bai Muhibiscus, and he keeps claiming that Bai Yunxi is "Miss Bai Er", which is too obvious. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Not only did the Lu family frown, but even Mrs. Hou, who rushed over after hearing the news, wondered, hasn't her daughter always been good friends with Bai Yunxi? Why did she help Miss Bai who met for the first time?
"Mingyue, what the hell is going on? Why did you entertain the young ladies, why did you make such a fuss?" He Shi's face was ugly, she was looking at her future daughter-in-law today, but she was so embarrassed by the two daughters of the Bai family.
"Mother...... It's all this unscrupulous slave making trouble, and it has nothing to do with Sister Hibiscus!" Zeng Mingyue always wanted to excuse Bai Hibiscus.
He has always doted on her daughter, and she understands her daughter's temperament, since she said so, it must be the second miss of the Bai family who made trouble with the girl, she is really uneasy, she just wanted to slander her sister in the flower hall, and she gave her sister no face when she went out.
"Sister Mingyue, how can you say that? Woo...... I was also so impulsive for my mother, and it was all deliberately instigated by my sister!" Bai Yunxi cried and cried, but unfortunately now he is disgraced, and he does not have the delicate and invincible moving posture at the beginning.
Lu Shi hurriedly scolded her and said: "Xi'er, don't talk nonsense, your mother knows your intentions, but how can you be so rude in front of outsiders? I have always taught you and your sister to get along in harmony, even if your sister reprimands you a few words, it is for your good, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette? Your sister is a poor person, she has lost her mother early, how many times have I told you, you have to be more considerate of her, how can you be wronged and mess around?"
Bai Mujin listened to the words, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a mocking smile, Lu still wants to give himself the title of bullying sister!
So she looked at Lu with an aggrieved expression, and blamed herself: "Mother, this matter is wrong for me, I failed to stop my sister and Chun'er from making trouble in time, I persuaded them at the beginning, and they should go back to the house to talk about anything, but my sister and Chun'er didn't listen, and they wanted to say that I bullied my sister in public, and my mother ...... You have to make decisions for me, have I ever bullied my sister? You have to clear this stigma for me in front of so many people, or ...... Otherwise...... I can't live either!"
As he spoke, he covered his face with a handkerchief, as if he was really ashamed and wanted to die, in the eyes of everyone, they all felt sad and indignant for her, it was obvious that the second lady intended to slander her sister, and even the wicked person sued first, if this Lu family didn't say a fair word, he would really force his stepdaughter to death!
"Mrs. Bai, we can all see it clearly, it is Miss Bai Er and her maid who are stirring up trouble, and they are bent on slandering Miss Bai as a vicious woman who bullies her younger brothers and sisters and is mean, and she can't slander each other, and she blames each other, how can she blame the innocent eldest lady?" Chu Yunyan spoke for Bai Mujian again, and the young ladies of all families also nodded in agreement.
Lu Shi saw everyone's expressions, and listened to Bai Mujian's words, the anger in her heart made her heart hurt, this girl is really a good means, she has to force her to prove to her in public, if she doesn't make it clear, she will inevitably be charged with forcing Mrs. Yuan's daughter to death, how can she gain a foothold in the circle of noblewomen in the future?
Lu gritted his teeth secretly, today's matter is irreparable, Yun Xi is embarrassed and ruined, if she is looked down upon again, then there is no room for recovery, no matter what, the future is long, as long as she is still the Duchess of the country, Bai Mujian is in her hands, and she has the time and means to rectify her.
So he patted Bai Mujian on the shoulder, with a motherly attitude, and coaxed her to: "Good boy, you have been wronged, your mother can't stand you! I didn't teach your sister well, you read her young and ignorant to take care of her more, mother, in the future, she will definitely be strict with the housekeeper, how can you bully your sister, who doesn't know that you are a supple character, it is all Chun'er's embryo this sin, mother will punish her well, and give you justice!"
"Mother, Jin'er understands that I won't care about my sister, no matter what, she is also my sister! How can Jin'er be the kind of vicious woman who even cares about flesh and blood, and who always disregards humanity and morality, and is bent on harming her sisters? Isn't that even worse than a pig and a dog? Mother, do you say yes?" Bai Muhibiscus said with a suple face, but when he looked at Lu's eyes, there was a dark light that was inexplicable.
Lu's heart skipped a beat, why did she think that Bai Hibiscus was saying this to herself? Could it be that she knew something? No, it was impossible, that thing was done so secretly, it would never be known to Bai Hibiscus!
So she forced a smile and said with relief: "Jin'er said yes, said yes!"
"Chun'er, are you guilty? slandering the eldest lady, instigating the discord between the eldest lady and the second miss, and daring to slander the housewife in public, who gave you the guts? I have always valued you and shown kindness to your whole family, but now you have betrayed the Lord for your own selfishness, are you worthy of me?" Lu Shi spoke sharply, glaring at Chun'er angrily, with a faint warning.
Chun'er suddenly remembered that the deed of sale of the whole family was in the hands of Mrs., and immediately flinched, if she angered Mrs., not only would she lose her life, but even her father's life would be lost.
"I'm sorry, madam, Chun'er was wrong, Chun'er let the lard blind her heart, so she will talk nonsense, Mrs. has always been kind, and she is by no means the kind of person who is ruthless and vicious, Chun'er will never dare again, beg Mrs. to punish!" Chun'er cried and prostrated at Lu's feet, begging for mercy earnestly.
Bai Mujin knew that Chun'er would not bite Lu Ningxiang again at this time, but her goal had been achieved, and the onlookers here who had not experienced the cruel struggle in the back house would not even be able to see this little bit of cattiness, and in the future, the Lu family would continue to play the role of a loving mother, I am afraid it would not be so easy.
Lu sighed and said, "That's it, you made a big mistake in a moment of confusion, and almost made the two young ladies lose their reputation, I can't spare you, and I will send you back when I return to the Guogong Mansion!"
After speaking, he said to He Shi with an apologetic face: "Mrs. Hou, I'm sorry, I made such a big joke today, it's all because I'm too good on weekdays and connived at these evil slaves, I'm afraid I can't continue to participate in this banquet, I'll go back first, and I'll definitely send an apology gift another day, please forgive me!"
Although He was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just awkward for the child's house!"
Bai Yunxi peeked at Bai Hibiscus with a resentful face, but she lowered her head and hid all her emotions, not revealing anything at all, as if everything that happened just now was just Bai Yunxi's one-man show, and she was a bystander from beginning to end.
At this time, on the building across the wall, four young men with extraordinary bearing were drinking with great interest, and one of them, a demonic man dressed in purple clothes, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, said to the other three: "How is it, what this king said is right?
"Or does King Xuan have eyesight, hahaha...... Just now, my mother asked my eldest brother to pay more attention to this woman, tsk...... If we marry her home, I'm afraid that our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will not have a peaceful day!" It was Zeng Mingzhi, the second son of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, who spoke, and his expression seemed to be quite disapproving of Bai Mujian's behavior.
The elegant and handsome Zeng Mingxi shook his head disapprovingly, and said: "I think this woman is witty and resourceful, even in the face of adversity, she is calm and unhurried, and she has the demeanor of a general!"
King Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes drifted to the woman who lowered her eyebrows and was completely devoid of her domineering spirit, why did such a girl who was obviously only ten years old have such a scheming?
"But a woman who is good at intrigue, I'm afraid Mingxi's praise is too much! I think the second lady of the Bai family is pitiful, she has to face a sister who is so anxious and deep at a young age!" The man who spoke had a handsome face, did not smile, had a cold temperament, and there was a faint disdain in his eyes. He doesn't like this kind of scheming woman the most!
King Xuan's eyes flashed with disapproval, but it was only for a moment, and then he showed his usual smile, and said, "Zihan, is it the first time to pay attention to a woman?
The cold-faced handsome man Feng Zihan was stunned for a moment, did not speak, as if he had acquiesced, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the embarrassed and pitiful Bai Yunxi, although this girl was a little out of shape just now, it was not calculated by her sister.
"Zihan, this king wants to remind you that the second lady of the Bai family is not as innocent as she seems!" King Xuan drank all the wine in the cup, and reminded as if he didn't care.
Hearing this, the two Zeng brothers were a little surprised, King Xuan must have warned Feng Shizi that Feng Shizi, who has always been unapologetic about women, is really interested in the second lady of the Bai family?
"Uncle Wang filtered, I'm just talking casually, drink a bar!" Feng Zihan, who has always been silent, spoke out for the first time, and listened to the ears of the other three people who knew him well, but it confirmed that he had an extraordinary good impression of Bai Yunxi.
The Zeng brothers were only surprised, but there was a hint of strange color in the narrow phoenix eyes of King Xuan, who had a delicate face like a demon, and closed his eyes and disappeared when he drank another glass of wine.
