Chapter 027: It's Not Kindness
Li Siyu said very respectfully: "Madame asked me to come, I don't dare not come, even if I come here, I have to come." What is Madame going to do with me? ”
If Fang Yu didn't come or there was no way to save her, she was ready to kidnap Mrs. Hou and escape from the Hou Mansion. She's ready to strike at any moment.
Mrs. Hou didn't think that Li Siyu had the courage to make a mistake in front of her, so there was only Cui Ping by her side.
Mrs. Hou said: "Why do you have to look at your appearance." "Originally, Madame Hou just wanted to meet her and then dispose of her, but now she has changed her mind.
Li Siyu thought for a while, "What does Madam want me to do?" ”
Mrs. Hou said: "Sure enough, he is a smart person, and talking to a smart person is so effortless." First of all, I want you to tell me why Xiuling became the first talented woman in Luoyang, and what is the trick among them? Secondly, I want you to sue me if those literati put pressure on Hou Ye and you and Zhang's mother and daughter behind the scenes? ”
Li Siyu said: "If Mrs. wants to know this, I can give Mrs. an answer." Why did Xiuling become the first talented woman in Luoyang, presumably the third prince has already given the answer to his wife, and my answer is the same as the third son's. As for instigating the literati to put pressure on the Hou Ye, does Madame think that I and Zhang's mother and daughter have that ability? ”
Mrs. Hou frowned again, she didn't believe what Li Siyu said, but she didn't think they had that ability. You must know that even if it is her, she can't say that she can move those literati to do things for her.
Mrs. Hou felt that she might have overestimated Xiaoyu, and Xue'er said that she was brave and resourceful, so she couldn't help but look up to her a little in her heart. When she saw her, she was fearless of her, and her words and deeds were generous, so she looked up to her a few points higher. It is precisely because of her high perspective that she thinks she can plan such a thing. In fact, if you think about it carefully, how could such an elaborate plan be done by a teenage girl?
Mrs. Hou said: "You threatened the eldest lady that according to the family rules, you should be beaten to death with a stick, but I like your senseless personality, so I will beat you to 20 boards." Spare your life. ”
Cui Ping's face showed a look of surprise, "Madam, I'm afraid this is not appropriate!" As a subordinate, she is the only one who dares to directly question Mrs. Hou.
Mrs. Hou said; "I like this girl, why spare her life?" The more she looked at it, the more she felt that Li Siyu was familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it. It was because of this vision that she decided to spare her life.
Li Siyu frowned, this was a little different from the result she imagined. She originally thought that Madame Hou would not show mercy to her, so she had prepared for the worst. But now, Mrs. Hou only beat her for twenty boards, which made her a little embarrassed. If she hadn't been beaten by this board, she would have had to kidnap Mrs. Hou and escape now; If she suffers from this board, the Hou Mansion can continue to be her safe haven. After thinking about it again, Li Siyu felt that it was more cost-effective to be beaten. So he said: "Thank you Madame for your hospitality to Xiaoyu, Madame's kindness Xiaoyu is in my heart." Please rest assured, Mrs. Xiaoyu will definitely change her past mistakes, and she will be respectful to the eldest lady in the future. ”
What she said was just polite words, and she naturally didn't think that Mrs. Hou, who was going to beat her twenty boards, was kind to her.
Mrs. Hou seemed to be very satisfied with Li Siyu's attitude, she said: "You know that I am kind to you, you must know that if it were someone else, I would have had her beaten to death a long time ago." Since you remember me well, you must do things for me well in the future. ”
It turned out that Mrs. Hou wanted to take Li Siyu for her own use.
Li Siyu said in his heart: I said Mrs. Hou, you have to buy people's hearts and make enough face! They have already forgiven my capital crimes, so why don't you forgive my living sins? You know, from the moment you decide to beat me to the twenty boards, I can't play for you.
