CHAPTER XVII

Pei Xuan and they just sat for a while, gave Liu's birthday greetings, and after all the etiquette, they didn't stay longer, Xie Fan and Gu also went out, Pei Xuan is Gu's mother's family, so Gu's main task today is to greet this cousin, Liu's is more grateful for Prince Gong's mansion, when Pei Xuan went out, she also got up and sent two steps.

The previous birthday ceremony was not mentioned for the time being, and it was not until noon that the guests went to the front hall to listen to the drama and dinner, and Xie and Yan Zhaohua were called into the inner room by the Liu family.

Mama Gui waited for Liu's to sit down, she was Liu's dowry maid, she was widowed when she was young, Liu's couldn't bear to recall her back to her side to serve, this service is twenty years, the master-servant relationship is different, usually when dealing with family affairs, Mama Gui is allowed to stay and serve without avoiding.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on? Although I am older, but I have not yet reached the time when my old eyes are dizzy, who are you fooling under my nose? ”

After Liu sat down, because there were no other outsiders, there were only four people in the inner room, so he didn't say anything else, and asked directly.

Xie Shi's face was slightly pale, as if he had made a decision in his heart, and only heard her say: "Mother is angry, let me talk about this matter in detail." Since I married into Changning Houfu at the age of fifteen, I have regarded Sister Hua and Brother Qian as my own children, from childhood to adulthood, I have been pampered in every way, and I have never had a harsh word, treating Sister Hua much better than Sister Ning, everything in the house is close to Sister Hua first, I ......"

Xie Shi said so many words, and every sentence was sincere, but Liu Shi was a little impatient to listen to it, and said:

"Okay, don't talk about these things that you don't have, if I ask you about it, just say it directly."

Liu has always been a refreshing person who is exquisite, in front of people can be filial piety to mothers and children, benevolent to everyone, but the queen is not so weak and easy to fool, when she was asked to be Sister Wei's steproom, it was to see that she was honest when she was a child, and she was rooted in the pile, always inconspicuous, low-key, I think that such a person marries into Changning Houfu, should not dare to do anything to the children left by Sister Wei, and over the years, she has indeed stared, even though Xie sometimes plays some cautious eyes, But in the big picture, it is still said in the past, and Sister Hua is also very close to her, so the Liu family has only let her go over the years, but today's things seem to show that this Xie family is no longer the Xie family of the past, but I am afraid that Mrs. Hou, who has made her for so many years, will raise her courage.

Xie is afraid of Liu's mother-in-law, from childhood to adulthood, coupled with Liu's ability, even her biological mother Aunt Gong persuaded her to be more cautious in begging for a life under Liu's hands, but, in Xie's opinion, it was all when she was helpless and could only cling to Liu's in the past, and now she has gained a firm foothold in Changning Houfu, it is no longer Wuxia Ameng, let others deceive, nor is it a chopping board fish, let others slaughter, I don't believe that for such a thing, Liu really dares to do anything to her, Therefore, he is even more fearless when he speaks.

"Yes, I don't mean to shirk anything, I just want to tell my mother that I have loved Sister Hua from the bottom of my heart and lungs over the years, but I didn't imagine that my actions like this actually raised a white-eyed wolf who will take revenge, my mother can know that today's birthday gift offered by Sister Ning was originally exchanged with Sister Hua with something worth 10,000 taels, Sister Ning was sincere to her mother, and wanted to give her mother a few hand-embroidered gifts for her birthday, but Sister Hua also learned the news from nowhere, and secretly embroidered so many things, It is to compete with Sister Ning, but my mother also knows that Sister Hua'er's embroidery was learned from the grandmother in the palace, and I also deliberately cultivated it when she was young. I thought that since Sister Ning had this heart, it would be okay for me to fulfill it, so I went to Sister Hua to discuss and asked her if she could give the embroidery to Sister Ning, anyway, the sisters often send some handkerchiefs and purses or something, Sister Hua can embroider, that

Yan Zhaohua looked at the shameless Xie family, and listened to her reversing black and white and making up some things that didn't come out, but he felt extremely angry and actually laughed.

Xie Shi didn't give Yan Zhaohua a chance to refute, and continued:

"I know, I asked Sister Hua to give the embroidery to Sister Ning did something wrong, after all, the thing was embroidered by Sister Hua, she worked hard, and she refused to be right, so when she said she wanted silver, I was just stunned, although I felt that Sister Hua was a little ruthless and unrighteous, but I didn't say anything, I just wanted to wait for the opportunity to analyze the truth to her in the future, she asked for 10,000 taels, I gave her a treasure of the same value, and Sister Hua also accepted it, but I didn't expect this girl to be so bad in her heart, and she accepted my things in the open, but secretly let people secretly change the embroidery, hide her embroidery by her side, and wait until today in front of her mother to offer, I don't know what kind of heart she has, must make the sisters not harmonious, the family is not peaceful before willing to stop? ”

After Xie Shi's words were finished, Liu Shi did not listen to it and believed it, and turned to Yan Zhaohua and asked, "What do you say about this?" What your wife said, but is it true? ”

Liu knew that Xie Shi's words were very frustrating, so he naturally knew it in his heart, but he didn't immediately expose Xie Shi, wanting to see what Yan Zhaohua's reaction was. She felt guilty in her heart, she had allowed people like Xie to be powerful around the two children left behind by Sister Wei'er over the years. For Sister Hua, the Liu family will not stand idly by, but in the final analysis, she is just a grandmother, and there is not enough reason to meddle in the affairs of Changning Houfu, so she also has to look at the child's own original qualifications, if she is afraid of the Xie family, she is weak and can be bullied, then no matter how much she praises, it will be in vain.

In Liu's view, children who have the ability should be trained for her, so that she has the ability to take on more responsibilities in the future, and children who have no ability just need to protect her from harm.

Yan Zhaohua didn't know Liu's thoughts, and after taking a deep breath, he replied calmly: "I'm a junior, I shouldn't have said these things, but if some things are not explained clearly, my conscience is really uneasy." ”

This sentence is true, Xie Shi is nominally Yan Zhaohua's stepmother no matter what, if she is arrogant and excessively aggressive, she is likely to be caught by Xie Shi in the end, so she simply puts the villain first and then the gentleman, and makes the words clear first, saving herself from entangled in this issue for a while.

"You just say, I'm asking today, and what I want to know is the truth." Liu secretly praised Yan Zhaohua's prudence in his heart, and it was always good to be able to think far-reaching.

Xie Shi stood aside and stared at Yan Zhaohua, only to see Yan Zhaohua walk up to her without squinting, and said, "Mrs. said that I asked you for something worth a thousand gold, do you have a certificate?" The embroidery I gave to my grandmother is something that I have been embroidering day and night for months, this is my grandmother's heart, Sister Ning just came to me to take a look, and wanted to take it for herself, which is not to say, she is young, I don't have the same knowledge as her, but you are so old, how can you still not distinguish the reason? My things are my things, I won't change how many things others give, this is one point, and you said that you gave me things to exchange embroidery with me, I secretly hid the real thing, shoddy, then I want to ask you, why do I do this? Why should I do this, isn't it that I have nothing to do, I have hidden the real thing, is it just to make you angry and sue me in front of my grandmother? ”

What Yan Zhaohua said was also reasonable and well-organized, and the Liu family naturally had already made a decision in his heart, but he still wanted to see what Yan Zhaohua could say.

"For as long as I can remember, I have regarded my wife as my mother, and I have never had a disobedient word or action, my wife says east, I will not say west, what my wife wants, I have never refused, my mother's dowry is also controlled by my wife, how much income per year, how much income, have I ever been with my wife to calculate half of the points? You let me start learning needlework at the age of three, and I have always felt that you are for my good, in order to let me have my own strengths, you rarely take me with you to other banquets, maybe I am not good enough, I don't blame you, but you have been partiality again and again, so that now you are robbing my things to Sister Ning, so do you still want to rob Brother Qian'er of things to Brother Yan in the future? ”

Yan Zhaohua's words are really heavy. And also made Xie Shi speechless, because just now she herself said that it was a common thing to take embroidery from Sister Hua to Sister Ning, but I didn't expect this girl to be really bitten, not only said this, but also led the matter to a more complicated situation, Sister Ning snatched her things, it can be said that it is a trivial matter in the back house, and the children are just fighting and making trouble, there is no big problem, but helping Brother Yan to grab Brother Qian'er's things, this is far-reaching, what is there on Brother Qian'er that Brother Yan wants to rob? Isn't it a knighthood? Although everyone doesn't want to see Brother Qian'er, but after all, he is the eldest son of Changning Houfu, according to the rules of establishing a long heir, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes, this title should be his, and others can't covet it.

Therefore, Xie immediately stood up, pointed at Yan Zhaohua and shouted:

"What nonsense are you talking about, you girl? When am I going to snatch Brother Qian'er's things? Don't confuse yourself in front of your grandmother, we're talking about embroidery now, where else is it going to do? I didn't know that you had such a vicious mouth and a vicious heart, and you wanted to put me to death. ”
