148: Stronger
Xia Ruan rubbed his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the other day......
After winter, Princess Qinghe always goes to see He.
Although Xia Ruan did not meet Princess Qinghe, he unexpectedly met Mo Yan.
On that day, Li Antuo asked her to buy some things, and she happened to find her third uncle for something, so she personally delivered them to the house.
When she saw the carriage outside the house, her brow furrowed.
Du Ruo looked at it and asked, "Miss, do we want to go back?" ”
"It's fine." Xia Ruan thought that one day she would meet Princess Qinghe, she could escape for a while, but she couldn't escape for a lifetime, "Let's go in." ”
Ang Lee's study is in the East Garden, the Chengguo Mansion is not small, Xia Ruan slowly walked through a large courtyard, and walked along the hand-copying verandah for a while before he saw the East Garden.
Because of Li Changfeng's regulations, the subordinates were usually guarding outside the East Garden at this time, and they couldn't go into the courtyard to disturb Li An, so the little maid who led the way did not follow Xia Ruan.
"Du Ruo, you wait for me here." Xia Ruan said softly.
Dongyuan is a quiet place, there are a lot of exotic flowers and plants planted here, but unfortunately at this time in winter, she can not enjoy the fragrance of the garden.
After walking a few steps, I saw a young man in white standing in the distance.
The boy also noticed her arrival and looked displeased.
Xia Ruan couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him, only to see that he had a pair of clear and bright eyes, but they made people feel unfathomable. In the delicate facial features, there is a hint of agility and elegance.
He was looking at Xia Ruan proudly: "Third Miss? ”
Xia Ruan has heard this voice.
That night, she hid behind a rockery. I heard this person coaxing Princess Qingnan with the same deep voice.
Xia Ruan just smiled and didn't intend to talk to him.
Mo Yan snorted self-deprecatingly: "The third lady left like this? Isn't it too rude? ”
It's just that Xia Ruan didn't stop, because she knew that as long as she entered the Chengguo Mansion, someone would watch her every move.
What will ink be in the East Garden? Xia Ruan didn't think about it, but she understood that the person who came was not good.
Now she has no ability to compete with Princess Qinghe, although the business in her hand has been done, but after all, she is a businessman and the like, and in the eyes of Kyoto people, she can't be on the stage. The Nan family has earned a lot of money over the years, and they live in Dayang Hutong. In the eyes of those official wives. It still smells of copper.
Xia Ruan can now gain a firm foothold in Beijing. It's all because at Li Changfeng's birthday banquet, the Jiang family introduced her to everyone like a baby.
And the Jiang family seems to have restrained a lot recently, and someone told Xia Ruan in private that it was Li An and the Jiang family who had a big quarrel.
Speaking of which. She was somewhat grateful to this cousin......
Think of these. Xia Ruan glanced at Mother Liu. He said softly: "Mother Liu, go back and pack up your things, and take Baizhu and Songyin back to Li's house." ”
Xia Ruan's voice was not loud. But the tone was very serious, and Mother Liu's heart tightened when she listened.
"Miss, old slave...... What did the old slave do wrong? Mother Liu thought for a while, and said to Xia Ruan, "Miss, even if you let the old slave go, you have to explain it clearly." ”
Mother Liu believed that no one could know about her deal with Mother Chen, after all, she was very careful.
Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Mother Liu: "Mother Liu, since you call me Miss, then I will naturally speak in this family, if I don't like you, do I need to say anything?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu's mother was speechless.
Because what Xia Ruan said is not bad at all.
As a subordinate, the young lady says that you are wrong, then you are wrong, and if you talk back, it is normal to be sold. Being a subordinate is based on the face of the young lady, even if she is the old mother in charge, it is no exception.
But Liu's mother was unwilling, if she was driven back like this, she believed what Chen's mother said, and everything would not be fulfilled.
Thinking of this, Mother Liu quickly knelt down, and the three little maids who followed her also hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Miss, the old slave is wrong, I won't dare next time." Mother Liu didn't dare to refute anymore, and hurriedly admitted her mistake.
Mother Liu thought that Xia Ruan had a good temper and a soft temperament, if she said it well, maybe Xia Ruan would forget about it.
Xia Ruan didn't speak this time, she would scold Mother Liu in front of her mother today, just to let her mother know that some subordinates are always subordinates, and when they feel that they can't be used, they can be thrown away. The mother's temperament is too weak, and now Cuiliu is not around, if she is bullied by these subordinates, it is not a joke.
Moreover, Xia Ruan felt that Mother Liu was a person who couldn't stand the temptation and couldn't be reused.
She thought for a moment before saying, "You said you were wrong?" Then you tell me what you are doing wrong, and you have to remember that I will only give you this one chance to defend yourself. ”
Mother Liu raised her head to look at Xia Ruan, only to see the pure-eyed young lady, and there was still a shallow smile on her lips, but this smile made Mother Liu feel colder than the heavy snow outside the house.
She understood that Xia Ruan was not joking this time.
But where does she start?
Said she wanted to send Baizhu to Princess Qinghe's side? said that she hoped that Songyin could be Ang Lee's aunt in the future? If all this is said, then even if she doesn't return to the Li family, there will be no chance to turn over.
The more Mother Liu thought about it, the more chaotic she became, Xia Ruan kept saying that she was unwell these days, and she didn't go to Yingzhuyuan to walk around.
So Liu's mother asked Songyin to follow her to Li's house to walk around, but Liu's mother never thought that Xia Ruan would come suddenly.
Could it be last night?
The more Mother Liu thought about it, the more scared she became, she was afraid that Xia Ruan would find out about what happened last night.
"The old slave doesn't know what he did wrong." Liu's mother insisted that she had done nothing wrong.
Hearing this, Xia Ruan shouted, "You didn't do anything wrong? Where did the lilacs go last night? That's how you take care of your children? If I don't find out, are you still going to ride on the young master's head? ”
The nurse was personally selected by Xia Ruan, and this person is naturally more reliable than Lilac.
So last night, Xia Rui's high fever did not go away, and the nurse couldn't find the cloves, and she didn't dare to alarm the Li family, so she hurriedly came to Xia Ruan.
Xia Ruan didn't like to move because of the menstrual incident, but he never thought that such a thing would happen.
If the nurse didn't come to tell her, then she wouldn't know what happened to Xia Rui.
In this life, she not only wants her mother and younger brother to live well, but also wants them to live comfortably.
But none of the things that Liu's mother did could get into her eyes.
She asked herself that she had never treated these people badly, and the monthly silver would not be less than when they were in the Li family, but these people were insatiable.
When Li heard that something had happened to Xia Rui, his face gradually turned pale: "How is Rui'er?" ”
"Mother rest assured, my brother is fine." Xia Ruan comforted her mother, but she would tell this thing in front of her mother, just hoping that her mother would understand that if her mother was too cowardly, her mother would not be the only one who was bullied. It could be her, or it could be Xia Rui. In the past, she was reluctant to say that it was because her mother had been weak for too long, but now she doesn't say it, and she will do business outside in the future, what will the family do.
Li lifted the quilt and wanted to get up from the bed, Xia Ruan hurriedly grabbed Li: "Mother, my brother is fine, I have asked Du Ruo to see it last night, and he is fine." ”
Li's eyes were red with anger, and when she looked at Mother Liu, she couldn't help but roar: "You old Diao slave, I just turn a blind eye to the trivial things on weekdays." But Riel is my child, how dare you do this...... You really don't dare to deal with you dog thing. ”
As a mother, Li is naturally a protector of her son.
She would never shout at anyone so loudly on weekdays, but now when she heard that something happened to Xia Rui, she couldn't help it anymore.
Mother Liu looked at Li and retorted: "The old slave doesn't know that the young master will have an accident, but the old slave doesn't know." ”
"Huh, you don't know? Good, good, good. Li said three good words in a row, and said to Du Lan beside him, "Go and call all the people in the house, and today I will let them see what happened to the dogs." ”
Regarding Li's words, Xia Ruan was a little stunned.
She never imagined that her mother would be angry like this.
Li insisted on getting up from the couch, but Xia Ruan had no choice but to let Du Ruo serve Li to dress.
Du Lan's movements were very fast, and in less than a tea time, he shouted all the people, and saw about twenty subordinates standing in the Shadow Bamboo Garden.
Mother Liu was also frightened at this time, she never thought that Mrs., who was usually soft and temperamental, would have such a big anger.
It was useless for her to kneel on the ground and cry, Liuzi grabbed her and threw her on the ground, and then Li Shi said to the subordinates in the house: "You have been coming to the Xia family for a few months, but some people are eager to leave here as soon as possible." I won't stop you, if you want to go, you can take the silver to redeem yourself, and if you are dead, I will sell you and let you leave the Xia family. ”
After speaking, Li glanced at Mother Liu and said, "If you don't want to leave and do something sorry for the Xia family, then Mother Liu is your future." ”
Li ordered a few people to hold down Liu's mother, and then let her lie on the stool, and the two little guys took the board and beat it down.
Seeing that the little guy didn't dare to use his strength, Li shouted angrily, "If you don't use force, I will fight you together." ”
As soon as the little guys heard that they dared to show mercy to their subordinates, they beat Mother Liu hard, and Mother Liu's screams could be heard outside the Shadow Bamboo Garden.
Xia Ruan stood behind Li's family, watching Liu's mother being beaten covered in blood, and her heart was happy and worried.
I am happy that my mother is finally willing to become tough, and I am worried about how to deal with Baizhu and Songyin.
Judging from the news of her knowledge, Baizhu seems to have met Princess Qinghe.
Although Baizhu has a humble status, she has a good face, even if it is not as good as Mo Zhen, she can also be called beautiful and moving.
Xia Ruan didn't plan to tell her mother about this.
Because, she doesn't want her mother to worry about these things.
Everything, just have her. (To be continued......)
