Chapter 296: The Anger of the Stepdaughter (8)
"Why are you here tonight?" Qi Yan sat next to Xu Junning and listened to him play the piano, and he really couldn't figure out why this man who was as cold as moonlight would take care of his own affairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xu Junning's hand plucking the strings still didn't stop, and he said without raising his head: "Didn't you ask me to save you?" I still find it easier to save you than to help you collect your body. ”
Qi Yan remembered that she had written a letter to Xu Junning in imitation of the passage in the book, but because she really couldn't write that kind of affectionate words, she simply wrote him a letter for help, she once heard a sentence that said that if you want a man to fall in love with you, you must first let him pity you. He is now worried about Xu Dang, and it should be pitiful enough to be calculated by his relatives three times and twice, if he is given another chance to save the beauty as a hero, maybe it will be a matter of course to take him down.
Originally, I thought about it well, Qi Yan even made a plan to conquer Xu Junning, the first step is to take the opportunity to learn, this has been completed, and now it is the second step to win sympathy, and I don't know if I succeeded, I feel a little embarrassed. Halfway through, Qi Yan saw that Xu Junning ignored him and decided to implement the third step, allowing him to discover his shining point. So he said, "Actually, I mean, why did you come to save me when you knew it was my little trick?" "Honesty is a virtue, and it can be seen that his intelligence is also a virtue, and there is something to say that this is called true temperament.
"You've finally come up with a plan, I'm so embarrassed to disappoint you."
Qi Yan listened to Xu Junning's words, and was ecstatic in his heart, this is the manifestation of increased favorability, Qi Yan excitedly secretly took out a booklet, familiarized himself with the next steps, the first few steps were completed smoothly, and I believe that there will be no problems in the future.
When Qi Yan was staring at his booklet and smiling happily, Xu Junning glanced at her, looking at the way her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but have a hint of a smile.
After dawn, Luo Minying and Xu Dang were soon discovered, although the grove was in the backyard of the Luo family, but the place leading to the grove in the backyard was actually separated by a wall, and it was usually guarded, but Xu Dang transferred the guards away. On the other side of the grove is the land of the Luo family, where Xu Liniang was going to dig a pond to raise fish in order to generate income, so she hired some long-term workers to do things, and some of those long-term workers were villagers on the side, who came to work before dawn every day. At that time, it was quiet everywhere, but Xu Dang happened to come again because the medicinal properties did not subside, and Luo Minying had already been pinched and knocked unconscious by him, so Xu Dang shouted without scruples, so he led those long-term workers over. Originally, these long-term workers didn't say anything, but they were too surprised at first, so they even brought the residents next to them to come to see it, plus Qiyan deliberately connived at them to spread, so this time the matter was out of control.
The Luo family became famous in the capital this time, and the scandal of the Luo family began to spread in the streets and alleys, even Xu Liniang and Luo's father in Zhuangzi heard the rumors, but Xu Liniang didn't know that the rumored Miss Luo family who had a personal affair with her stepbrother was Luo Minying, and thought that Xu Dang did not do a good job of sealing his mouth, and what happened when he took Luo Qiyan would make the matter known to everyone.
"Madam, what's going on, didn't you say that Ah Dang is a very serious person and won't mess around? I heard that the relationship between him and Min Ying is not pure, why is it related to Qiyan now? "Luo's father is also very angry now, although he doesn't care so much about other people's opinions, but this kind of thing is really disgraceful, not to mention that the role of the concubine is still very great, if he wants to go further in his career, he has to rely on his daughter to climb into a good family business, but now that he is making such a fuss, his daughter's reputation is ruined, where will there be good people who can look up to her.
Xu Liniang's brain turned fast, and she had already wanted a way to deal with it, "This kind of thing is a slap that doesn't make a sound, Qiyan This girl always loves to pester us Ah Dang on weekdays, I just thought it was a brother and sister relationship, how could I think she would have already had a love for us Ah Dang." The concubine, as her stepmother, did not discipline her well, she is a concubine, and the master will punish if he wants to punish it, and the concubine has no complaints! ”
Luo's father admires Xu Liniang's daring character the most, every time she does this, he can't bear to blame her, but this time it happened, he didn't really blame her, but she didn't think about his reputation and didn't excuse her daughter, which made him feel a little irritable, and she said that she would let herself punish her, but it was useless to punish anyone for such a thing. If it were the wives of other big families, maybe they would have arranged the affairs of the backyard properly by this time, and they would still need him to find a way to solve this matter.
Xu Liniang is not a person of this era, and her heart naturally does not regard reputation as much as that of women of this era, so this matter is just a trivial matter in her eyes, anyway, her son likes Luo Qiyan, and now that everyone knows about them, then they will simply become married, anyway, although Xu Dang lives in the Luo family, he has not changed his surname and has not entered the Luo family tree, so the two are not **** together.
The two people with evil intentions rushed back to Luofu together, thinking that the mansion would definitely be chaotic now, but they didn't expect the people in the mansion to do their own things quietly, and when they saw them, their expressions were also very calm, as if the rumored thing had not happened.
"Big ...... What about the second lady? What about Aunt Chen? Now Luofu is Qiyan in charge, so Luo's father's first reaction was to look for her, but thinking that something like this happened to her, he didn't want to see her, so he asked where Luo Minying and Xiao Chen were.
"Back to the master, the second miss was locked up by the eldest lady, Aunt Chen just begged the eldest lady for a long time, but the eldest lady didn't agree to let the second miss out, so at this time, Aunt Chen went to the second miss and was still crying there." Yahuan replied.
"It's funny, I made a mistake and locked up Min Ying, could it be that Min Ying can be blamed for this?" Xu Liniang felt that Luo Minying's help to Xu Dang must have been known by Qi Yan, so Qi Yan would be angry with her and lock her up.
"It's so unbelievable!" Father Luo said angrily: "In that case, take me to see the eldest lady, I want to see what she has to say!" ”
Yahuan listened to the words of Father Luo and Xu Liniang, and was very puzzled, but thinking that the eldest lady had instructed them not to say a word about the second miss and Young Master Xu Dang in the mansion, she could only suppress the doubts in her heart and honestly lead the way.
At this time, Qi Yan was sitting in her yard basking in the sun leisurely, and the maids around her were all sent away by her, so there was no one else beside her at this time, and she only opened her eyes when Luo's father and Xu Liniang came in, and then glanced at them lazily with her head sideways. Xu Liniang saw that she was not as haggard as she imagined, but more radiant, so she laughed in her heart: It seems that the tall appearance on weekdays is also pretended, and now that her innocence has been ruined, why don't you simply hang herself with a white silk?
"Father, Mother, you're back." Qi Yan stood up slowly, and his movements when he got up were all upright, and he didn't even move the hem of his skirt.
"If we don't come back, I don't know what the chaos will be in this house, Qiyan girl, although the power in this house has been handed over to you, but you can't use your power to do anything wrong, this housekeeper pays attention to serving the public, otherwise the things in the house are not well managed." Xu Liniang has been haunted by this matter since she was robbed of the right to manage by Qiyan last time, and this time she can finally let out a bad breath.
"Mother thinks I'm not doing well? Now the expenses in the house are twice as much as when my mother was in charge of the house, but the food in the house is much better. In the past, there were always problems such as the kitchen and the warehouse, but now there are few mistakes, and there is almost no damage to the people or even theft, I don't want to say more, my father and mother can go to see it themselves, and now the people in the house are doing their jobs, I don't know where I can't manage well, and I ask my mother to give advice. ”
Xu Liniang was not very proficient in housekeeping, most of her energy was focused on her own business on weekdays, and the affairs of the house were handed over to the next person to manage, she had always been generous, so she didn't care much about money and utensils, and as a result, the house was a mess, and the people not only took things at will but also were very lazy and often made mistakes, so they were speechless when Qi Yan said this. However, retreat has never been her style, so she no longer dwelled on this matter, but changed the conversation and said: "Then why did you lock Min Ying up, it was useless to even intercede with Aunt Chen?" Could it be that you are angry with the second girl? ”
"I don't know what my mother meant, as for Min Ying's confinement, I think I did the right thing, and not only her, but I also locked up my brother, the reason, I was too embarrassed to say it, but since my mother asked, then I'll tell you. Min Ying and her brother were found to have committed adultery, and now it has been rumored, because it was someone from the outside who found them, so even if I forbid my subordinates to spread it, it would be useless. This incident has had a very bad impact on the reputation of the Luo family, and it also has a great impact on Min Ying and her brother themselves, but since they have made mistakes, I naturally can't ignore them. It's just that I'm an unmarried girl after all, and I don't know how to deal with this kind of thing, so I locked them up first and waited for my mother and father to come back before making a decision. Qi Yan looked at Xu Liniang's stunned appearance and continued: "I also did this for the sake of our family's reputation, but at that time, my brother resisted very badly, and he also injured a lot of family members, so I asked him to teach him a little lesson and then tied him up, my mother won't blame me, right?" ”
Xu Liniang gritted her teeth and looked at Qi Yan, her face began to distort a little, and she held back a sentence in the middle of a voice, "You did the right thing, I naturally don't blame you, but now can I meet Ah Dang?" ”
"Of course." Qi Yan smiled and said to his subordinates: "Take the old lady to the dungeon to see my brother, the environment there is too bad, so I won't go." ”
When Xu Liniang heard this, her legs immediately weakened, and then she helped the girl ring beside her to walk quickly to the dungeon.
