Chapter 3 Confrontation
Not to mention the furnishings in the main hall of this jade courtyard, just looking at the clothes of the eldest aunt sitting on the top is enough to make Xie Ning slightly surprised, it is rumored that the capital is prosperous, and when she saw the outfit of the eldest aunt today, she knew that this was true.
Mrs. Hou's Xiang's golden-dotted emerald head was reflected in the golden light of the candle, and her scarlet dress was even more dazzling. It's a pity that under the costume, the face that can barely be called dignified is a little mediocre.
Xie Ning had been reminded by her father and Uncle Pei before, and stood in the middle in a proper manner, giving a blessing to him, "My niece Xie Ning has seen my eldest uncle." β
Xiang Shi did not open his mouth when he heard this. She didn't answer, and Xie Ning could only maintain a saluting posture, until her legs were slightly stiff, and Xiang didn't speak, but there was no intention of letting Xie Ning get up, "Rude junior, why don't you kneel down and say hello when you see the elder for the first time?" β
Xie Ning is not stupid, as soon as he looks at Xiang's posture, he knows that she doesn't like her, there is no futon on the ground, and the other party is obviously deliberately making things difficult for herself. Xie Ning hid his anger and knelt down according to her wishes.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Xie Ning bowed respectfully, "Niece Xie Ning pays a visit to the eldest aunt. β
Mrs. Hou saw Xie Ning kneeling, with a hint of contempt on her face, she took the tea cup handed by the maid on the side and took a sip, without the slightest intention of letting her get up.
After she finished drinking the tea, she put down the teacup and said, "Although your mother went out of the Hou Mansion, she is just the righteous daughter of the old Hou Ye." You don't have to be confused about your identity, you really think of yourself as a young lady. β
Xie Ning knelt on the ground, lowered her head and couldn't see her expression clearly, only the hands clenched on her knees slightly revealed her emotions, and she responded in a low voice: "Aunt Xie mentions." β
"I'm ashamed to bear your big uncle." Mrs. Hou smiled coldly, "Speaking of which, your mother and I are also old acquaintances, and she was a little unruly in her duties before she left the cabinet, hooking up all day long." You entered Beijing this time to discuss your family, but don't do flattering things like your mother, and ruin your reputation. If this is the case, even if you are in the Hou Mansion, you will not be able to find a good family, so you can only marry a barbarian land like your mother. β
Shainin endured and endured all the way, she didn't want to cause more trouble when she first arrived, but now Xiang not only slandered her mother, but even degraded her father. Her parents are the people she respects the most, but she was defiled like this by Xiang, how could she endure it.
If she can't bear it, she doesn't need to endure it anymore, she stood up at the moment, reversed her previous harmony, and said with anger on her face: "Xie Ning thought that you were the head of the Hou Mansion, and you should be self-respecting, but you never thought that it would be insulting to speak. As you said, this big aunt, Shainin can't scream anymore. β
Xie Ning immediately turned around and was about to leave, this Lao Shizi's broken Hou Mansion, she didn't want to stay for a moment, even if she couldn't find a good family, she wouldn't let anyone point fingers and poke her backbone in this Hou Mansion, if it was just herself, she was willing to endure it in order to please her father, but this Mrs. Hou was not only dissatisfied with her, but also insulted her parents!
Even if she can't marry for the rest of her life, she admits it, and at this moment she just wants to leave this disgusting place as soon as possible.
She had just taken two steps when she heard the ridicule of the Xiang family behind her, "If you are really a person who is not on the stage, what kind of life, with such a mother, can you still give birth to a good girl!" β
As soon as she heard this, Xie Ning's face immediately turned blue, she stopped, turned around and glared angrily at Xiang, "If you humiliate my mother again, don't blame me for being unkind!" β
Seeing her like this, Xiang's face became even more contemptuous, "Mrs. Ben just said it a hundred times, so what's the matter, your mother is a fox who doesn't know how to checkβ"
She didn't finish her words but suddenly stopped, Xie Ning didn't know when she had stepped forward, that skill was obviously a practiced, Xiang Shi was shocked, and he was about to retreat, but Xie Ning was already furious, where did she retreat half a minute, and immediately stretched out his hand to pinch her throat.
The anger in Xie Ning's eyes did not decrease but increased, and he warned sharply: "You dare to insult my mother and tarnish her reputation." If I hear you wicked woman say that my mother is not, beware that I will screw your neck!" β
Tightening the strength of his hands inch by inch, Xie Ning endured his disgust and continued to ask sharply: "Do you remember?" β
His throat was pinched and he couldn't breathe, and Xiang panicked and said, "Remember, remember!" β
Hearing her soften, Xie Ning took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and said coldly to Xiang, who was already frightened: "Remember what you said today!" β
Seeing her nodding again and again, Xie Ning let go, glared at Xiang, turned around and walked out with a cold face.
Xiang Shi gasped, coughed a few times, and as soon as he came to his senses, he immediately shouted angrily: "Someone! Take down this wild girl who has no respect for her elders and wants to commit murder in the Hou Mansion! β
Suddenly, all the maids in the hall surrounded Xie Ning, and they didn't dare to get close to her for fear of her force.
Seeing this, Xiang scolded: "You useless things, you can't protect your master as a slave, if you don't take down this wild girl today, you will be killed!" β
Mrs. Hou's methods were well known to everyone, and when they heard this, everyone couldn't be afraid anymore, and they came towards Xie Ning one after another.
Although Xie Ning was blocked by these people, he did not plan to attack. One is because she doesn't have a serious start, and she is worried about hurting the innocent, and the other is that when she first came to the Hou Mansion, she has already made such a big battle, and she doesn't want to make more trouble.
As long as Xiang no longer insults her mother, what if she bows her head for a while?
made up his mind, Shainin didn't dodge, and let the group of girls get closer and closer.
This scene fell in Xiang's eyes, but she mistakenly thought that Xie Ning was just a momentary mood, but in fact she was weak and deceitful, and her heart suddenly changed by three points, and she ordered: "Ginkgo, call those rough envoys outside, and let this wild girl know the rules of our Hou Mansion." β
"Yes, ma'am."
As soon as she finished speaking, a girl standing in front of Xie Ning answered and trotted out of the door.
As soon as Ginkgo left, the people next to her moved their steps as if they had discussed, for fear that Xie Ning would take advantage of the loophole and run away.
Such a move made Xie Ning secretly laugh. If she didn't mean to give in, with her skills, even if there was another group of weak women who were powerless, she would be able to get out of the way.
After a while, Shainin heard the sound of breathing getting closer and closer outside the hall. After careful discernment, it was determined that there were six people walking towards this place.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ginkgo to appear in the hall with her rough mother-in-law.
One, two, three, four, five, Xie Ning looked at the figure passing by, and suddenly frowned.
How come there are only five people and the sixth?
Xie Ning was about to hold his breath to feel the position of the man, but suddenly a voice came from his ear - "You guys, go over and teach this wild girl!" β
As soon as Xiang gave the order, the four mothers-in-law passed through the encirclement of the maids and squeezed Xie Ning's shoulders fiercely, intending to press her to the ground.
As soon as Xie Ning looked at Xiang's expression, he could see that what was waiting for him next was not a good thing. didn't expect that she would explicitly order her subordinates to be rude to her, and she was angry at the moment.
She wasn't in a hurry to come to their Hou Mansion to live, obviously the Marquis of Jingyang personally wrote a letter to invite her to come. Lou's mother reversed black and white, and Shaining could look at the face of her relatives and not care. But she was a guest from afar, and now Xiang used such a means to force her to bow her head. Even if she has a good temper, she can't bear it, not to mention that she, Xie Ning, has never been the master of swallowing her anger!
"Auntie, why is that?"
"You girl, you dare to fight me if you don't agree with you, this temperament is too reckless. Your aunt also thinks about you, so she will ask them to sharpen your temper. Don't toast and don't eat and drink, like your mother, you don't know what to do! β
Looking at the trapped Xie Ning, Xiang's face showed a cruel smile, and the previous embarrassment had long since disappeared.
Xie Ning heard this, but he didn't say a word, not because he was frightened by Xiang, but because he was disgusted by her brazenness.
After a while, Xie Ning let out a few sneers that made Xiang's heart tremble. After she had laughed, she raised her head again and looked directly at Xiang on the high seat, "Don't agree with each other?" Mrs. Hou is really good at laughing. If you insult my parents, how can you take it away without saying a word?! β
Before the words fell, she broke free from the shackles of the four mothers-in-law. Viciously, "Get out of the way!" ", forced back half of the maids gathered outside. I saw her turn over and jump, then rushed out, took three steps and made two steps, and stood in front of Xiang in an instant.
With a pair of red eyes, Xie Ning yelled at the lady in gorgeous clothes in front of him and asked, "Are you an orphan without a father or mother?" Don't you have any children under you? Insulting my mother again and again, have you ever thought about being a child? It's the first time I've seen a femme fatale like you. β
"Hurry up and get this wildβ"
Frightened by this battle, Xiang's eyes turned to a group of slaves standing below as if asking for help, and shouted hoarsely, but after seeing a figure, he instantly lost his strength and sat down on the chair.
