Chapter 13: Gossip
The mother-in-law kneeling on the ground was dressed in half-worn cotton clothes, and there was only a lotus pattern silver hairpin on her messy bun, and her face could not be seen clearly on her head, and her trembling body revealed her panic at this time.
What's going on?
Le Xi glanced at the mother-in-law and called her father and mother softly, and Le Shaoyuan and Li asked her to sit beside her.
Le Shaoyuan is a person who rarely reveals his emotions, and now his face is pale, his eyes are sharp, and Le Xi looks a little frightened. turned to what wrong the mother-in-law on the earth had done, and became more and more curious, so he didn't make a noise and watched the development later.
"Where did you hear this rumor, say!" Li's voice was not loud, but it was obviously full of anger. The tassels on the bun swayed gently, and the flickering fine streamers were like the cold glow at the bottom of her eyes.
The woman trembled even more when she heard this, and she kowtowed blindly, so frightened that she couldn't speak. "Madame spare the slave and maid this time, the slave and maid overheard the maids who were sweeping in the garden, and the slave and maid would never dare to spread rumors!!"
"Then who did you talk to! Talking about the master in private, smearing on the master's face, spreading rumors, the courage is really not small!! ”
Li reprimanded again, and the mother-in-law trembled and told Mrs. Feng, who was a rough envoy in Wufuyuan, and she was caught by Chunya. I never said those words to anyone else.
Seeing that her mother-in-law's words were not much different from Chunya's return, the Li family asked her to take her down, saying that she would take care of it first, and then looked at Le Shaoyuan with an anxious face.
At this time, Le Xi was still confused, and he didn't know why, so he also looked at Le Shaoyuan with doubts.
"This matter is very easy to investigate, I saw the steward of the prince who protects the country yesterday, and he knows what happened best. If it is to be preached, it must be preached by his side first. Le Shaoyuan gave Li a comforting look, and saw Le Xi looking at him with an inquisitive gaze, and sighed and told her what had happened.
Yesterday, the news of the Duchess Huguo's visit to the door spread, and the content was to withdraw from the marriage, and what was even more outrageous was that the matter of the Duchess Huguo's visit was also rumored. said that the prince of Huguo was more dissatisfied with this marriage than the Duchess of Huguo, and originally wanted to see the old lady in person, but he met Le Xi halfway, and he immediately turned around and left, even Le Yu did not want to see him, and he did not give a good face.
Also Dao Lexi deliberately waited in the place where the prince of the protector was passing by, what he wanted to save his image Yunyun, and even the color of his clothes was very clear. Yes, Li and Le Shaoyuan turned blue with anger.
Le Xi was dumbfounded after hearing this, when had she ever seen the prince of the protectorate?! Even people don't know whether it's round or flat, so how can they say it!
"What is this, when the steward reported that the prince of the country was in the mansion, wasn't I with my father? It's really groundless, fabricating accusations. Le Xi's eyebrows were almost boundless, and his face was full of anger.
Li took Le Xi's hand and patted it, both with anger on his face. "Don't worry, my father and mother will definitely find out, and those who chew the root of the tongue will be pulled out one by one!"
Le Xi believed this, Li and Le Shaoyuan had never wanted to wronged her, if her brother was here and knew about such a thing, it was estimated that he would have beaten the prince of the country first. made him already sensitive and running around.
It's just that my brother is nowhere to be found now.
Feeling the care of Li and Le Shaoyuan, Le Xi couldn't help but think of the days when the family was in the past, simple, warm and comfortable. Compared with the current situation of not being able to reunite and having endless troubles, the light in Le Xi's eyes dimmed a lot.
Le Shaoyuan and his wife didn't know what Le Xi thought, thinking that she had been wronged and had lost her spirit, and Xia He, who was sent to Wufu Courtyard at the time, should also convey the words. comforted Le Xi a few words, and let people twist the mother-in-law just now to ask for peace to the Yu family.
When they were discharged from the hospital, they met Le Yan and Le Yu who came with a smile, and when they saw their parents with serious faces, they followed behind them without squinting, and went to Wufuyuan to say goodbye.
Along the way, there was only the sound of the rubbing of the robe between the walks, and the maid didn't dare to take a breath more.
At the gate of Wufuyuan, Rujin was waiting outside, and when he saw the big house coming, he hurriedly greeted him. Qingxiu's face had a sad face, and she whispered to the old lady Le Shaoyuandao, who was so angry that her heart hurt, and she was waiting for her uncle.
The group entered the courtyard and arrived at the main house, and sure enough, they saw Yu Shi pressing his heart, with anger on his face, crooked on the pineapple wood inlaid luodian gold couch.
Everyone stepped forward to salute, Yu waved his hand impatiently, his eyes swept over Lexi's juniors, and asked the maid to take them to the side room to drink tea. Lexi knew that this was for them to avoid and deal with things. Again, Fuli followed the maid to the side room.
"Third sister, do you know what happened?"
The maid served the tea and withdrew, Le Yu took it in his hand and took a sip, raised his head and asked Le Xi.
This kind of thing, Le Xi knew that it was not appropriate to say it, so he shook his head and said that it was not clear. When she went to Ronghui Hospital, her father and mother were already angry.
Le Yu glanced at her when he heard this, and then stopped asking. Le Yan sat on the side, with a gentle smile on her face.
Although the side was not completely separated, the other side lowered the voice, and the three of them could not hear clearly. But after a while, there was a sudden movement of broken porcelain, and Le Xi's familiar low sob, and then Le Shaoyuan's voice that you have thought about carefully, and then the movement became quieter...
Le Xi kept his ears pricked up, but although there was a movement later, they were all deliberately suppressed, except for hearing the footsteps of Sisuo who came again during the period, he really couldn't distinguish the content of the conversation. Le Xi didn't bother to spend any more energy, and instead stared at the tea bowl next to him in a daze.
"Old lady spare her life! It's me who didn't take care of the mother-in-law who caused trouble, and the old lady saw that I had been working diligently for the sake of the uncle's house, so spare me this time! ”
Suddenly, the man's frightened cry for mercy was clearly heard in the side room. Lexi, who was in a fugue, was so shocked that she stood up directly from her chair and almost knocked over the tea bowl. At the same time, there was also Le Yan who was shocked, and she also stood up, and Le Yu also frowned, and skimmed her head sideways.
Immediately after, Yu's voice sounded with coldness. "You're all dead?! Gagged and dragged out, so that the minions of the whole house could take a closer look, what would happen if they chewed the root of their tongues! And his mother-in-law, I have to find out all over the Bofu! Can a big living person disappear out of thin air?! ”
After Yu's voice fell, there was a flurry of panic, and after the messy footsteps and muffled struggles dissipated, the entire main room returned to calm.
The ears were quiet, but Lexi's heart was still beating violently, and she recognized the man's voice, which was the steward from yesterday!!
It's really as my father said, it came out of the steward, but what happened to the mother-in-law who disappeared? Heard the wind and absconded in fear?
Shouldn't fugitive slaves be more of a crime?! And a steward, can he really not tell the right and wrong of the master?
Lexi thought about it in her head, but she always felt that something was wrong......
