CHAPTER XVIII

Regarding Xie's accusation, Yan Zhaohua did not show weakness, hooked his lips and smiled, his eyes were ruthless, which made Xie's heart startled.

"Who the hell is confusing the public? Did I promise to exchange things with my wife? Why do I have to let my third sister come to pay tribute to what I embroidered? Mrs. feels sorry for her third sister's bad skills, so she should ask someone to teach her from an early age, right? I was three to eight years old all in the learning needlework, the third sister is good, four years old enlightenment, learning are some of the wife's so-called useless books, but I don't know those are the foundation, embroidery skills compared with those books, but worthless, after all, I am from the Hou Mansion, and not to rely on the craft to eat, but since my wife let me learn, then I will learn, after all, it is my wife's ' Good intentions are not, but now the third sister wants to embroider a good thing, but she doesn't have the ability, she doesn't want to step up her own practice, but she is open, and she comes to steal the hard work of others, what is the reason? Not to mention, my wife now has no upbringing, and she actually spews blood, saying that I want to exchange things with my wife, and my sincerity to my grandmother depends on my efforts day and night for several months, even if my wife takes the gold and silver mountains, I will not change them, not to mention, if you count my mother's dowry, you may not be richer than me, wife, right? What do I want you to do with that 10,000 taels of silver? You really have your heart out of your body, I have been obedient to you since I was a child, I want to honor you, I don't expect you to treat me like Sister Ning, but you can't just take care of Sister Ning and step me into the mud pit. Besides, the matter of Brother Qian and Brother Yan'er is not that I said it without evidence, but that you did it, Mrs., didn't you? Otherwise, why are Brother Qian'er and Brother Yan's husband two people? ”

Yan Zhaohua pressed step by step, a few questions were asked sonorously and forcefully, in just a few words, all the ghosts that Xie had secretly engaged in over the years were clearly and clearly, and Liu couldn't help but be a little surprised, in the past, she only thought that Xie was an honest person, but she didn't expect to make so many moths behind her back, and good children taught her badly, judging from the things she did, it is not easy for Sister Hua to see through at this age.

Where was Xie willing to be beaten by Yan Zhaohua like this, and immediately stood up to refute it, saying: "Why are Brother Qian'er and Brother Yan's husband two people, doesn't the eldest lady know?" Brother Qian'er has a strange temper and doesn't want to be with Brother Yan, who can blame him? I didn't know that you hated me so much, and it was in vain that I had worked for you all these years, which was chilling. ”

Xie is an acting school, he cries when he says, tears fall as if he doesn't want money, and he looks at Yan Zhaohua with mournful eyes, just like a mother-in-law who really loves her child with a sad expression after being disobedient to her child. Yan Zhaohua couldn't help but sneer when he saw it, and without hesitation, he exposed Xie's careful tricks:

"Brother Qian'er has a strange temper? Brother Qian is my younger brother, how can I not know his temper? If you treat him sincerely, he will only treat you very sincerely, but he is not good at expressing it, but does this mean that he has a strange temper? ”

Xie Shi sneered: "He doesn't have a strange temper, why did he drive away several people around him?" Why can't you get along with the people around you? My sister Hua, don't say anything more, you simply, simply hurt my heart into a sieve, don't let me feel that the conscience I have paid all these years has been eaten by dogs. ”

Yan Zhaohua ignored Xie's sensationalism, and not to be outdone, shot back: "The people around you are sluggish, can Brother Qian still be able to bear it?" Mrs. Li, Mother Zhang, and the big girl Fengzhu who were driven away by him, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp? Mrs. Li deducted his share, Zhang's mother asked him to wear clothes that were not dried in the winter, and the big girl Fengzhu, who was caught red-handed for stealing things, these slaves and maids dared to bully the eldest son of the Hou Mansion in such a grand manner, shouldn't they be driven away? Brother Qian is benevolent and righteous, even if he doesn't want their little lives, even if he has a good temper, how can his wife compare a slave and a maid with Brother Qian? Could it be that only by getting along with slaves and maids in harmony, isn't such the eldest son of the Hou Mansion a strange temper? Is this what my wife calls her conscience for us? If this is really such a conscience, then Brother Qian and I really don't dare to accept it. ”

The impassioned words forced Xie Shi to retreat, and Liu Shi couldn't help but pat his chair when he heard this, and said, "What Sister Hua said is the truth? ”

Xie Shi was a little confused, she had been sending people to monitor Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian, and concluded that their sister and brother did not have much contact in private, it stands to reason that Yan Ruiqian lives in the front yard, and what happened in his yard, Yan Zhaohua is impossible to know, but now Yan Zhaohua not only knows, but also knows so much that even which mother-in-law and mother can tell it, this girl is in a place she doesn't know, how many such things she has inquired about, she actually doesn't know.

Strange that this girl has been completely alienated from herself these days, she should have woken up after listening to these gossip, Xie Shi secretly gritted his teeth, hated that Zhaohua woke up too early, she was almost a little bit, she was able to completely control Changning Houfu in the palm of her hand, but this girl has repeatedly ruined her good deeds, so that the trust between her and Hou Ye has collapsed most of it at once, it is not enough, and she has to make her unable to wipe her face in the Dingguo Mansion, hum, she is really a vicious girl.

Without waiting for Xie to speak, Yan Zhaohua continued:

"Is it true, my grandmother called Brother Qian and the people who served him in the past and asked, and my grandmother will understand whether I am lying or not."

Listening to Yan Zhaohua's words, Liu Shi was a little hesitant, she wanted to intervene openly, but this was the matter of Changning Houfu, if she intervened, wouldn't she have to let people say that she had long hands and interfered with her son-in-law's housework.

When she was hesitating, the Xie family also figured this out, now it is no better than back then, she wants to beg for a living in the Dingguo Mansion, Liu's subordinates, she is already the mistress of the Changning Waiting Mansion, this is also the place where Yan Zhaohua is naïve, thinking that if she sues the Xie family about these things, she will be afraid? If it was in the past, she would indeed be afraid, but now, what can the Liu family do to her? It's Yan Zhaohua, how can she say that she is also a girl from Changning Houfu, it seems that she has forgotten about it, her future life will be happy, but she is pinched in the palm of her hand, and she dares to argue with her like this in person, hum, I originally wanted to find her a family that is more solid and wealthy, but now...... If you want to make her miserable for the rest of her life, she has a lot of ways, and there will be times when she cries in the future.

Xie Shi thought firmly in her heart, she knew the identity of the Liu family, and she could not justifiably meddle in the affairs of the back house of Changning Houfu, Xie Shi simply had no fear, came to deny it, and said:

"These are all non-existent things, I don't know which right and wrong Sister Hua heard these from, I have to wronged me in front of my mother, it's just that, I won't say much, but I dare to guarantee that the things that Sister Hua said have never happened, if my mother doesn't believe it, I can order someone to send Brother Qian'er to the grandmother who is waiting to ask to see if these things have happened."

Yan Zhaohua wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Liu, and only heard her say:

"Okay, this matter ends here, you two are too far away, now we are talking about embroidery, how can we talk about Brother Qian'er? These things, you go back to Changning Houwu to distinguish between them, I just want to know, which of the birthday gifts that Sister Ning and Sister Hua gave me today is true and which is false? ”

Yan Zhaohua endured his heartfelt words, knowing that the Liu family didn't want to make a big deal at this time, this was to find her under the stairs, only to hear the Xie family step forward, knelt down on his knees, and said:

"Mother, about embroidery, it was indeed me who did wrong, I shouldn't have believed Sister Hua'er's words, so that it led to the current situation."

To this day, she still insists on refusing to say that she stole other people's things, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, Yan Zhaohua replied coldly on the side: "Mother, don't forget, there was a fire in my yard the night before yesterday, this matter, even if my grandmother didn't send someone to our Hou Mansion to inquire, those who saw the fire can testify, I never received anything from you, nor did I agree to exchange it with you, the embroidery was embroidered by me for my grandmother's birthday, every stitch and thread were embroidered by my own hands, and Sister Ning was bought and put back on the street by me. The day before yesterday, it was put in my embroidery room during the day, and many people saw it, but after a fire at night, it was in the hands of Sister Ning, as long as Sister Ning gave her grandmother out and confronted it, you can know if it is the one in my embroidery room. ”

Before, she just wanted to distinguish herself from Xie in front of Liu, so Yan Zhaohua didn't mention the fire, but now that Liu's didn't want to mention anything else, she naturally wanted to get acquainted and bring the topic back again.

Without waiting for Xie to open his mouth to quibble, Yan Zhaohua continued: "The things I asked people to buy from the outside are also a pair of five women's birthdays, and four spring, summer, autumn and winter, but unlike what I embroidered, I used flying needle embroidery, and the outside generally sold flat needle embroidery, flying needle embroidery requires a lot more time and energy, and the skills are more difficult, it is my unique embroidery, but the one bought outside does not take so much effort, as long as you find someone who understands embroidery to take a look, you will know whether what I said is true or false." ”

Liu glanced at Mama Gui standing next to her, and Mama Gui stood up and said: "Yes, the embroidery sent by the girls, the slaves and maids have seen it, and Miss Ning sent it is indeed flat needle embroidery, which is no different from the things sold on the market, and those embroidery should come out of the Yanran embroidery workshop in the city, where the embroidery girls embroider the spring flowers and summer grass are very special, and the slaves and maids will never admit their mistakes." ”

Mama Gui's words made the Liu family completely believe in Xie's black heart, slapped the chair, and said angrily:

"I can't control you in the affairs of your Changning Houfu, but in this matter, if I don't punish and punish you, maybe you won't have my mother in your heart." Liu Shi was unequivocal, and immediately shouted to the outside world: "Come on, invite the family law up, my Xie family has not given birth to such a confusing person, right and wrong, Gui Mama, you come to execute, give her ten hand boards, it is a lesson!" ”

Xie Shi immediately changed his face, not because of what Liu said about the punishment of these ten hand boards, but it was completely a matter of face, if she was really beaten down, then the prestige she had accumulated over the years would be gone.
