Chapter 4 Fear and Coaxing
"Miss, you're amazing. But we're really worried about you www.biquge.info Hong'er said to Yuan Xiyue with bright eyes, and the two small bags on her face that were stung by a wasp were also better than just now.
"What are you afraid of, those people are paper tigers, and they usually look at their might, but they are actually vulnerable."
Yuan Xiyue looked at the almost negligible injuries on the faces of the two girls, and still felt very beautiful. The reason why she dared to react at that moment in the morning and let Cui'er go to the hornet's nest was because she already knew the direction of escape, and thanks to the fact that she was usually busy working at home and outside, she was very familiar with the branched paths in the garden. When Cui'er just finished throwing the shuttlecock, she pulled the two people to retreat in the direction of escape.
And the reason why I was able to scare Xu's mother just now was because Hong'er happened to bump into Yan'er before, and it wasn't until yesterday that Hong'er saw Yan'er sneakily hiding bird's nest. But Hong'er, an honest child, didn't make a noise at all, but after coming back, he couldn't help but mention it to Yuan Xiyue. She still thought that her young lady, as usual, never cared about these idle things, but how could she have thought that today would become a magic weapon to repel Xu's mother?
Just thinking about it, someone came to spread the word, saying that Mrs. Shangxiang had returned, and she wanted to ask the eldest lady to bring Cui'er over.
Hong'er felt a cold sweat at this time, and asked if she could delay it.
Cui'er also said: "Miss, the hornet's nest was smashed by a slave, so I will go to Madame to confess." ”
Yuan Xiyue pressed Cui'er's arm and comforted them with a smile: "The one who should come will always come, since I came up with the idea, then I have to go to my mother to admit my mistakes." ”
The two girls looked at their young lady, although they kept saying that they wanted to admit their mistakes, but they clearly saw a trace of cunning in the young lady's eyes, and suddenly there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
Yuan Xiyue took Hong'er Cui'er to the Duanhua Courtyard where Situ Juan lived, and the maids and servants in the courtyard looked at the three of them, of course, some of them were gloating, and some were sneering.
Yuan Xiyue didn't care, and walked straight to the house, the two little maids were bolder because they had never experienced it today, and their courage also grew, and they had already planned it, if Mrs. really wanted to pursue it, she would definitely not let Miss be implicated, as Miss's personal maids, they must take the initiative to take the blame for Miss. After all, there is no regret to have this day of raising eyebrows.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Situ Juan sitting on the upper seat in a red dress, with no expression on her face, and a group of maids and servants looked at the people who were still busy in the house, but even Hong'er and they could feel it, this atmosphere was really different from when they usually came here. Especially Mother Xu and Mother Zhao beside Situ Juan, there was even a trace of fear in their eyes when they looked at them at this time.
Cui'er couldn't help but think that how could these people usually put them in their eyes, that is, they looked at the poor people like a fool, and they didn't react honestly, but she and Hong'er didn't even dare to raise their heads, so they stood down and listened to Mrs. They's admonitions.
In fact, there is no substance in what she said, Cui'er always feels that Mrs. likes to admonish for the sake of admonishment, and to put it mildly, she deliberately wants to play prestige in front of them. But why she always likes to call these little girls over to admonish, this is not something she can understand.
Yuan Xiyue didn't know the few turns in Cui'er's mind, and respectfully stepped forward to salute Situ Juan, and then stood aside and was silent.
Finally, it was Situ Juan who spoke first.
"Xiyue, I heard that a wasp in the yard stung someone today, come and let my mother see if she is hurt." This woman is still used to doing face-saving work.
"Thank you mother for your concern, it's just a little bit of a minor injury, and I'm much better after taking the medicine, but I heard Zhao's mother say that the second sister is still sick in bed, and I don't know if she's better now, and I'll go see her later."
The people in the room didn't expect Yuan Xiyue to take the initiative to ask about Yuan Yushan's injury, didn't this make it clear to remind Situ Juan that Yuan Yushan's injury was caused by her, waiting to be punished? This eldest lady looks like she's going to be smart, but she still sounds so stupid inside and out.
"I'm really getting more and more sensible, your second sister is better, but the doctor also said that you have to take care of it well in the past few days, especially if you can't move."
Hehe, you don't say that you can't blow the wind and there are taboos in eating, but you want to say something, it seems that you want to say your thoughts along the way.
"Mother's admonition is not to be heard."
Situ Juan looked at the little girl in front of her with a calm and peaceful expression, and felt bored for no reason, listening to her speak was very respectful, but her tone was with a sense of pride, as if she was negotiating with her on an equal footing.
"It's not a big deal, I heard that today's incident was caused by the maid Cui'er in your room, and my mother usually didn't pay attention, so she let such a slave come out of your house. Now that something has happened, it seems that it is very appeased, come on, drag Cui'er down, and hit the fifty board. ”
As soon as the words came out, Cui'er's face instantly panicked, Hong'er stood in place and began to be at a loss, as soon as the legs of the two little girls were weak, they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again. The little girl with fine skin and tender meat was beaten on fifty boards, and if she didn't die, she had only half a life left.
"Mother don't want it, everything is Xiyue's fault, I asked Cui'er to smash that hornet's nest, begging my mother to spare Cui'er." Yuan Xiyue's face was embarrassed, as if she was anxious and sad about this disposition.
It's just right in the middle, Situ Juan wants this effect, Yuan Xiyue, a stupid girl, usually treats the two subordinates as if they were her sisters, and seeing that her sisters are about to open their skin, can she not panic? As long as she panics, the rest will be easy.
"Look at you, this child, you are as anxious as anything, and your mother knows that you feel sorry for your subordinates. You say you want to take responsibility for her, but how can your mother be willing to punish you? But...... It's not like there's room for things to turn around. ”
The knife was about to be pulled out, and Yuan Xiyue waited for the other party to make a move. At this time, she still had an anxious and panicked expression on her face, and the more she was like this now, the more Situ Juan would make a move as soon as possible.
"If it's a small mistake, the mother will be reluctant to embarrass her if she is your baby daughter. But today's trouble, many people up and down the family have been injured, if the mother does not punish her heavily, it is really unfair to the whole family, how can I explain to your father? ”
It sounds reasonable, coupled with Situ Juan's just right expression, if she was the silly girl before, she would believe it 100%.
"Mother, daughter understand, is it enough to have an explanation to the father and the family, and who is punished is not the most important?"
What do you really want to do, today this girl looks at a stubborn face, but she is so shocked by herself, or do you have to obediently follow the words? Situ Juan was quite proud in her heart, but she still had to continue to pretend to be embarrassed on her face.
"I can't say that, but right now, my mother has a way, not only does this Cui'er not have to suffer from flesh and skin, but Xiyue you don't have to worry about suffering for her."
"That's great, or mother, you have the best idea, so what's the best idea?" Yuan Xiyue's big eyes flashed with a light that seemed to be able to see to the end, and he looked at Situ Juan with earnestness.
Situ Juan saw that Yu'er was hooked so quickly, but she kept silent, unhurriedly asked people to take out a peace charm, and beckoned Yuan Xiyue to step forward, handed it to her with her own hands, and pressed it again.
"This is what my mother specially asked for you when she went to Baoning Temple to offer incense today, the last time you fell from such a high place, fortunately it was a false alarm. I specially asked for this peace charm today, just to hope that you can be safe in the future, and I, as a mother, don't have to worry about you all day long. ”
Hehe, it was originally to pick up a kite for your daughter to fall off the rockery, isn't it for your own peace of mind that you ask for a peace charm? Instead, he said as if he had contributed a lot.
However, Yuan Xiyue felt that things must not be so simple, and he took out a peace charm for no reason, he must have wanted to use this kind of costless trick to get some benefits from himself, plus he was almost threatening Cui'er's life just now, Yuan Xiyue could judge that Situ Juan must want to let herself do something very dangerous, and stabbing the hornet's nest is simply not worth mentioning compared to this.
"In fact, this peace charm was specially asked for by Master Xuan'an, the abbot of Baoning Temple, saying that wearing it on the body will definitely turn evil into good fortune. Mother hopes that you will always carry it with you, so that when you go out tomorrow, you will be able to go smoothly. ”
"Going out tomorrow?"
"yes, don't you always shout...... Looking forward to going out and seeing? Tomorrow is the right time to deliver something for your father. ”
"Since it's a delivery, wouldn't it be better for my mother to just ask the maid to go?" It's intimidation and peace charms, just sending things, the ghost will believe your words, Yuan Xiyue couldn't help but ask.
Situ Juan had expected her to have this doubt, so she immediately pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "This kind of thing is very important, of course, you have to find the most trustworthy and kindest and sensible child to send it, where can the maid be competent." ”
Of course Yuan Xiyue can hear it, any kind and sensible thing is cheap, but it is the most trustworthy This point has attracted Yuan Xiyue's attention, and it is okay if the maid can't be trusted, then the housekeeper mother and housekeeper are more trustworthy than a stupid girl?
However, on the face, she still has to pretend to be very useful to Situ Juan's words just now, and then she has to continue to listen to the truth.
"I wonder what the mother asked her daughter to send?"
"Just look at it, it's actually quite common."
Yuan Xiyue didn't want to pay attention to Situ Juan's inconsistencies today, in fact, this person's level is like this, he always bullied Yuan Xiyue, a stupid child, before, no wonder the level of the pit people has not made great progress.
But when she looked in the direction of Situ Juan's finger, she couldn't help but exclaim a dirty word in her heart.
Her stepmother did everything she wanted her to send was the specialty green berries that every household in Linzhou Mansion had?
