104 Conspiracy
Hua Aojie looked at the strange smile on Qi Shangyi's face, and his eyes moved along the hosta to Qi Shangyi's hand, "County ...... What are you doing here, Lord? β
Qi Shangyi smiled, held the hosta and drew it on his palm, "You said that if I draw like this, and then shout to catch the assassin, what will happen to you?" β
Hua Aojie's face turned white all of a sudden, and he stammered a little when he spoke, "County ...... Don't be kidding, this ......"
Qi Shangyi didn't move the hosta away, just smiled, "At the beginning, the old lady was interested, I knew that you didn't look down on me, so I didn't tell you clearly, now you just posted it yourself, but I didn't expect it to be so insidious, wanting to ruin my reputation, I hate people like you in my life, and you really won't repent if you don't teach you a lesson." Qi Shangyi said and picked up the hosta and looked at it carefully, "By the way, I forgot to tell you, I already have a fiancΓ©." β
As soon as Qi Shangyi's words fell, the hosta in his hand exploded and broke into three pieces, the middle one was still held in Qi Shangyi's hand, and the two sections of the head and tail had fallen to the ground and shattered. Qi Shangyi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, it stands to reason that with such a precise technique, it should be no difficult to kill himself.
Hua Aojie was already so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Hua Mu, who was hiding behind the bushes, looked at the flying needle in his hand that he hadn't had time to throw, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted, "Someone's coming, there are assassins, protect the county lord!" β
As he spoke, he had already run into the pavilion to block Qi Shangyi, who was surprised to take a look at the broken jade pieces that fell to the ground, and took advantage of people's inattention, picked up two small sticks and put them in his sleeve, and then said to Hua Mu: "Don't make a fuss, I accidentally fell by myself." β
"What's going on?" The people who were drinking and chatting on the rockery had already heard Hua Mu's voice and ran over, and Zifeng Xiqi asked anxiously, "Xiyue, aren't you injured?" β
"It's fine." Qi Shangyi smiled and said, "It's just that I accidentally broke the hosta that the third prince wanted to give me, and I blame Hua Mu for making too much of a fuss." β
Qi Shangyi shook his head secretly at Hua Mu as he spoke, signaling her not to say it, Hua Mu immediately understood, and hurriedly smiled at everyone, "I'm sorry, it's all me, it's all me." β
"Three girls, don't mess around like this anymore!" The old lady believed all her words, stomped the cane in her hand angrily, and scolded Hua Mu, who stuck out her tongue and obediently shut up and stepped aside.
The second lady thought it was a false alarm, glanced at the hosta on the ground, and thought that everyone was there, it was a good time, and hurriedly shouted and rushed into the pavilion, "Oh, my hosta, this is my dowry, and I want to give it to my future daughter-in-law." β
"Second lady, I'm really sorry, I didn't know this hosta was so valuable," Qi Shangyi hurriedly pretended to be innocent, "The third prince said that he just bought it on the street, I just wanted to pick it up and take a look, but I lost it if I didn't want to." β
Qi Shangyi's words, everyone immediately looked at Hua Aojie, who had not yet come back to his senses, how could he not know that this hosta was her mother's dowry, and he actually deceived the county lord to buy it on the street, so attentive, everyone understood.
Zifeng Xiqi's face sank, and he turned around and obeyed Qi Shangyi, "I've been staying for too long today, let's go back to the house early." β
"Oh." Qi Shangyi nodded hurriedly, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and say to Hua Mu: "Hua Mu, if you have time to go to the palace with Jiang Tong to play with me." β
"Hmm." Hua Mu hurriedly responded with a smile, she knew that Qi Shangyi was helping her out of the siege, seeing that the relationship between the two of them was so close, even if the old lady was angry, she would not blame her, but the second lady, mother and son, Prince Xi was angry and left, and the old lady was going to be angry now.
"Did you two eat the gall of the ambitious leopard!" In the old lady's room, men and women, old and young, plus the maid and the maid stood in a room, the old lady sat on the top seat, the second lady and Hua Aojie bowed their heads and knelt below, and the others stood on both sides regardless of their status and status, and no one dared to intervene.
"Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore!" The second lady knelt on the ground and shouted again and again that she was wrong.
"Something that doesn't grow!" The more the old lady looked at the two, the more angry she became, grabbed the tea bowl on the side and smashed it to the ground, fortunately, the tea was put for a while, but it was not hot, and even the tea dregs splashed on the two of them, "Filthy prostitute, woman, teach such a nasty cheap billet, what are you doing here, quickly find someone to pull it out and beat it to death, don't affect our entire Washington Mansion at that time, let people see the joke." β
"Mother, my daughter-in-law really knows that she is wrong, please spare me this time." When the second lady heard that she was going to drag herself and Ao Jie out and beat them to death, she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, Hua Aojie also kowtowed again and again, "Grandson doesn't dare anymore, don't dare." β
Although it was the old lady who opened her mouth, after all, it was the second lady and the third young master, and no one really dared to come in and drag them out and beat them to death.
"Mother," her mother and son cried for a while, and the eldest lady stood up first and persuaded, "Zuo but the old man and the second uncle will come back in a few days, and it will not be too late to punish them when the second uncle comes back." β
"Grandmother, the top priority is to go to the palace to make amends first, don't let the palace misunderstand." Hua Aotian also stood up, "The little sister has a good relationship with the county lord, tomorrow I will go to the West Prince's Mansion with my little sister to make amends, the prince has always been tolerant, and it should not implicate the entire Washington Mansion because of this." β
"That's right, Qi...... She doesn't like to cause trouble either, otherwise if she made it clear today, the second aunt and the third brother would have been arrested by the officers and soldiers," Hua Mu also interjected, "The prince loves the county lord the most, I will beg the county lord to let him go, and the county lord should agree." β
The old lady calmed down a little after listening to their words, and nodded, "It's really my wife who is too anxious, she should have made amends to the prince first, and tomorrow Aotian and Aolong will go with the three girls and Tong'er, don't let the prince have a prejudice against Washington because of this matter." β
"Grandmother don't worry, grandchildren will do it well." Aotian saluted and said.
The old lady glanced at the two kneeling on the ground again, she was really annoyed for a while, turned her head sideways and waved her hand, "Drag the two of them out and lock them up first, and then clean them up when he comes back." β
"Thank you, mother!" "Thank you, grandmother!" When the mother and son heard that they would not be killed, they bowed on the ground a few more times before being dragged out.
When they left, the room was also clean, the old lady waved her hand, beckoned the eldest lady and Aotian to sit down, "I should have beaten them away a long time ago, and made my house a miasma, come, you all sit down, and say what to say about going to make amends tomorrow." β
And they all sat down, and discussed the gifts, the carriages, and the things that should be said for the morrow, and then they dispersed. (To be continued.) )
