Chapter 93: Don't get complacent too soon
"Look!" The girl's jade white fingertips pointed to the handkerchief in his hand, and then hooked out one of the golden silk threads and pulled it out skillfully, and the strands dyed orange silk thread was immediately pulled out by her.
She chuckled again, but this time the laughter was clearly relieved and relaxed, "No wonder I don't like it when I look at it, it turns out that someone has used other threads to cover up the background." β
Qiu Tianshu sighed in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head to look at the veil again, where is there any red maple!
Only a lonely yellow crescent moon remained in the corner of the veil.
"...... this?" He pointed to the handkerchief and was dumbfounded, his mouth opened and closed up and down, but he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaofeng was very kind to solve his doubts, pointed to the crescent moon, and said softly, "Young Master Qiu should be very familiar with this pattern, so I don't need to draw a snake and explain it more." β
This sentence directly and secretly determined that he had an adulterous affair with someone. It's just that Qiu Tianshu will still be in shock, and he can't hear her voice at all.
The girl turned her eyes, but looked at Mrs. Qiu, who had a wonderful face, and said slowly, "Presumably Mrs. Qiu knows very well that this kind of silk yarn is not ordinary fabric, and probably no one is willing to waste a good handkerchief." β
Mrs. Qiu had a wooden face, and it was not a nod, let alone a shake.
She is in charge of the home of the Marquis of Changyi's mansion, if she can't even recognize this kind of high-grade silk yarn, then she is simply blind that she has been Mrs. Qiu for so many years.
It was because of knowing that it was clear that Mu Xiaofeng was telling the truth.
But if she nodded in agreement with Mu Xiaofeng's words, it would be tantamount to indirectly admitting that her son was ...... someone in Mufu!
Fortunately, Mu Xiaofeng also knew that she was in a dilemma, and he didn't really expect her to answer. She just needs to let Qiu Tianshu understand through Mrs. Qiu that this thing is precious and no one is willing to waste it.
"If Young Master Qiu still doesn't believe that this veil is not mine, I have other ways to prove it." After saying that, she turned her head to look at Mu Tianda and said softly, "Daddy, please take out the letter Xiaoxiao wrote about the rainy day before." β
For this daughter, Mu Tianda has never been undeserved. Even if she wants the moon in the sky, he will try to take it off. Not to mention a mere letter, with a wave of his hand, he asked people to pick up the letter.
"Young Master Qiu, if you look at the words on this letterhead, and then look at the words on the handkerchief, you should understand why I deny that this is my handkerchief, right?" She took the letter and opened it flat and showed it in front of Qiu Tianshu's eyes, anyway, there was no secret on the letterhead, so it didn't hurt for him to look at it twice.
Qiu Tianshu hurriedly glanced at the handsome handwriting on the letterhead, raised his head sharply, and stared at the girl without saying a word with complicated eyes. His heart sank, and his face instantly piled up layers of bitterness.
Mu Xiaofeng glanced at his face and said with a smile, "Presumably Young Master Qiu also saw that the word rain on the letterhead usually goes straight down, and there is no habit of hooking it to the left; And the word rain on the handkerchief obviously has the habit of hooking it to the left for a long time. β
A person's writing habits have been cultivated since childhood, and if it is not deliberate, it is difficult for anyone to notice such a small place.
Even if you have the intention to imitate, you will ignore the past because of habit.
The words embroidered on the veil clearly made this mistake.
Qiu Tianshu will no longer hold his mouth and refuse to admit it, his heart will be bitter, and his feet will be weak. Looking at the girl's bright and flying smile, I suddenly regretted that I came to quit my relatives today, did I decide too hastily?
However, while he was flustered, the corner of his eyes flew to see the girl's smiling face, the expression was confident and dazzling, and the appearance was so dazzling that his heart was blocked.
He suddenly felt blessed to the heart, pointed at Mu Xiaofeng and gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you proud of, even if this veil can't prove anything, but what I saw with my own eyes, can it still be fake?" β
He sneered, stared at her with a red face and a thick neck, his eyes full of disgust, "If you are really selfless, why did you go to the side courtyard alone that day?" Still affectionately snuggled in the arms of that son surnamed Yan? β
Mu Xiaofeng blinked in surprise, his eyes were bright and innocent, and he asked angrily and blankly for a while, "When will I go to the side courtyard alone?" And in whose arms did you see snuggled in? I also ask Young Master Qiu to make his words clearer. β
When he mentioned this, Qiu Tianshu felt that there was green floating around all over his eyes, he was too breathless, this kind of humiliation and shame was like a raging fire that could not be extinguished, burning him all over his body.
"On the day of Mrs. Mu's birthday, do you dare to say that you haven't been to the side hospital alone? Dare you say you haven't met a man with leg problems alone? β
Qiu Tianshu felt that he was reasonable, and when he accused him, he was louder than the other, and he was indignant more than the other!
Mu Xiaofeng saw that he was blushing and his neck was thick, as if he had really seen his daughter-in-law stealing a man. I felt that I was very disdainful in my heart, but my pretty face did not show shame and weakness as he wished.
"I can explain what happened that day." The girl looked at him calmly, her voice was not high, but her words were clear enough for everyone in the room to hear.
Reason is not high, and reason needs to bluff. She's reasoning, not competing with him.
"You also know that it was the old lady's birthday, and the people in the house were so busy, so the maidservants around me naturally couldn't be lazy."
She was silent, ignoring Qiu Tianshu's suspicious and sarcastic eyes, and said to herself, "I will go to the side courtyard, this is a normal thing to do every day, there are a few pots of orchids under the vine frame, and I will personally take care of them at that hour every day." β
Qiu Tianshu's eyes flashed, she was so sure, could it be true? This kind of thing, as long as you ask, you can know the truth or falsehood, and she really doesn't need to lie.
Mu Xiaofeng didn't care whether he believed it or not, he didn't panic, thought about it for a while, and said, "As for what you said in the man's arms," she was silent, her pretty face appropriately revealed a trace of shame, and her breathing seemed to be heavier.
I heard her tone mixed with coldness, and then solemnly denied, "This is absolutely nothing." β
"I did meet Yan Gongzi under the vine trellis that day, but when I met him, some bees chased after me, so he also took a handkerchief to block it for me, and then I thought I had to go back and get some bee repellent medicine, so I left there in a hurry."
Qiu Tianshu was stunned, and after listening to her explanation and description, his face turned red and green into a palette.
The details are right, but how can the situation be so far from what he sees?
Mu Xiaofeng stared at the handkerchief in his hand, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, but he glanced at him meaningfully, "Oh, the handkerchief in your hand...... I think, it's probably the piece that Yan Gongzi used to drive bees that day, right? Xu was lost in a hurry at that time, and it turned out to be picked up by Young Master Qiu unintentionally. β
This look, this "oh" that dragged out the end of the sound, no matter how Qiu Tianshu listened, he felt that there was something mysterious.
He couldn't react, but Mu Tianda had already reminisced about it.
Thinking of another daughter, Mu Tianda's face also became wonderful.
Qiu Tianshu actually believed most of her words in his heart, but he refused to admit that he thought about the left, otherwise he would have made a big joke when he came to withdraw from his relatives today.
"This is just your words, not enough to believe!"
Mu Xiaofeng saw that he was going to slap his swollen face and be fat, and he didn't want to demolish him for a while, this kind of person is used to pretending to be high and good-looking, how can he adapt to being suddenly slapped in the face!
He only shook his head, gave him a look of pity, and did not bother to speak again.
However, she didn't want to debunk it, but some people didn't have such a kind mind.
"Her words are not trustworthy, so what if there is still me as an observer?" A lazy voice sounded out of thin air, Mu Xiaofeng was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw a figure in a blue and azure robe standing outside the door, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking in with a graceful and elegant face.
Mu Tianda went out, saw the man's elegant and smiling appearance, immediately raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and then quickly stood up and walked out, "Right Minister?" How would you? β
"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I had a business to discuss with the Muslim people, so I came in when I passed by the Mufu Mansion." He smiled, and the corner of his eye quickly swept the people inside, "Didn't bother Lord Mu?" β
He stood here abruptly, and politely smiled and asked, didn't bother you, right?
In addition to smiling bitterly again and again, Mu Tianda really didn't know how to answer his question.
Everyone has come here, and he obviously intends to stay, he can still blast people out!
This is not Qiu Tianshu who dislikes his family Xiaoxiao in every way in the house, but he is a dignified right-hand minister, and he has already sat in the phase of the power leaning towards the government and the opposition at a young age, and he can't be offended if he wants to.
Moreover, listening to his tone just now, on the day of the birthday banquet, it seems that he also witnessed everything that happened after Xiaoxiao went to the side hospital alone?
Mu Tianda realized what he had just said, and immediately put away the reluctance on his face, and happily stretched out his hand to welcome Xia Xingshen, the right minister, into the house, "Don't disturb, don't bother, right minister, please." β
If there is really a person as important as Xia Xingshen who comes out to testify for Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao's reputation can definitely be restored to whiter than snow.
"Right phase?" When Mu Xiaofeng heard her father's unexpected exclamation, her heart was inexplicably shocked. When her father welcomed someone in, and when the man passed by her, he looked at her, as if intentionally or unintentionally, and a strange feeling immediately appeared in her heart.
It's likeβwhere has she seen this man? His glance just now seemed to be looking to see if she recognized him.
But she clearly remembered that no matter in her past life or present life, she had nothing to do with this Xia Xingshen, who was the right minister!
Eye?
Mu Xiaofeng raised his eyes, took advantage of the moment he bent over, and quickly looked at his face, and then suddenly realized. She found that his eyes were very dark, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and he seemed to always have a gentle and friendly smile when looking at people, which made his eyes look particularly charming and beautiful.
Such a pair of eyes, even if she only saw them once, she could not forget
