Chapter 037: Conflict
When Mu Qingge returned to the Xia Mansion, Old Lady Xia, Mrs. Xia, and several aunts were gossiping in the house, and they didn't see Xia Luo.
Looking at the casual demeanor of a few people, I shouldn't know about Charlotte yet.
After seeing the ceremony, Mu Qingge asked directly, "What about the eldest cousin?" Is she back? ”
"Luo'er has been back a long time ago, and she has never been playful." It was Charlotte's biological mother, Aunt Huang, who spoke.
Is this a sarcasm for being playful? It seems that she, the mother, doesn't know what's going on yet. Charlotte's courage is really not small, such a big thing, he didn't tell anyone when he went home. She thought, can this matter be hidden?
Mu Qingge frowned and said, "Originally, my eldest cousin said that she was going to take me out to play, why did she sneak back and not tell me?" ”
Everyone looked at Aunt Huang, Xia Luo took Mu Qingge out, but came back alone, it shouldn't have been, just now Aunt Huang also mocked Mu Qingge, and everyone was even more dissatisfied.
"Luo'er came back early because she was unwell, didn't she send someone to inform you?" Aunt Huang was also unhappy.
"Not feeling well?"
Mu Qingge stared at Aunt Huang for a while, and saw that her heart was furious, and then she turned her eyes to look at Old Lady Xia: "Grandmother, can you invite your eldest cousin out?" There are some ...... happening in Wucheng today things, I want to ask the eldest cousin. ”
Mrs. Xia didn't have anything at all, and was about to agree. Aunt Huang was angry: "Miss Cousin, I said before, our Luo'er is sick." Luo'er is also your cousin, how can you tell her to run back and forth? Can you be a little compassionate? ”
"I can also be regarded as a doctor, ask my eldest cousin to come out, if she is really sick, I can still treat her." Mu Qingge did not back down.
"You, doctor?" Aunt Huang snorted lightly and didn't say much, obviously distrusting Mu Qingge.
"Qingge, what's wrong? Tell us about it, why do you have to ask your cousin to come out? "Mrs. Xia came out to play the round.
"I think it's better to say it in front of my cousin." Mu Qing said.
"If you have something, you can talk about it, why bother to talk so much." Aunt Huang was impatient and snorted again.
"Aunt Huang are sure I want to say it in front of everyone?" Mu Qingge's voice was already a little cold.
Aunt Huang didn't take it to heart: "If you are afraid of seeing no one, no one will ask you to speak if you don't say it." ”
"I'm really afraid of seeing people."
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Mu Qingge said slowly: "Today, there is something that has gone crazy in Wucheng. said that there was a woman who seduced the three princes in public, and was scolded by the three princes and lost her family's face. ”
This matter has not yet reached the Xia Mansion, and everyone was in an uproar when they heard Mu Qingge say this. The virtue of the daughter's family is more important than life, although the Dajin people are open, but it is not open in Wucheng, and saying a few more words to a man will cause criticism, not to mention seducing a man in public? The most important thing is that it is the third prince who seduces, if it is successful, no one dares to say more, at most a few words behind his back. But now that he has failed and been reprimanded by the third prince, it will not only be a shame, but the entire family may be in trouble. At least, it is difficult for the girls of this family to marry into a good family.
"Whose young lady? So shameless? After the surprise, everyone began to wonder who it was.
"I heard that the woman's surname is Xia." Mu Qingge stared at Aunt Huang and said.
Summer? How is it so familiar? After a brief silence, the room exploded.
"Mu Qingge, you don't have much blood and spews people!" Aunt Huang was the first to react, thinking of Mu Qingge's attitude just now, how could she not understand what she meant? Immediately angry, she didn't believe that her daughter would do such a shameful thing.
Everyone reacted to her yelling at her, and the most famous Xia family in Wucheng naturally only had their own home. And the marriageable woman of the Xia family is only Xia Luo. In addition, Xia Luo did go out today, and everyone looked at Aunt Huang with disdainful and angry eyes. In ancient times, the family was a unit, and if one person did something wrong, the reputation of the whole family would be damaged, and who could be happy?
"So, I said at the beginning, it was Aunt Huang who asked my cousin to come out, and you had to tell me in public." Mu Qingge was not in a hurry, staring at Aunt Huang and saying slowly.
"You are clearly deliberately ......"
"Am I deliberate? I'm just telling the rumors on the street, how did I mean it? Did I deliberately pull your daughter to the Third Prince? I deliberately let your daughter seduce the third prince? Mu Qingge was also a little angry, she had given Xia Luo several chances. She didn't want the Xia family to have a bad reputation, and this would not do her any good, but Xia Luo insisted on going her own way, and she was helpless. Such a big thing, it must be impossible to hide it, and you have to think about it as soon as possible to save one or two.
"You ...... clearly"
"Enough!" Mrs. Xia finally got angry, slapped the table, and said to the next person, "Go and invite the eldest lady over!" ”
The sound of "please" is especially accentuated, even if Charlotte is really sick, these people will drag her here.
"Mother, how can you believe that an outsider is talking nonsense? Luo'er grew up with you since she was a child, and you ......" Aunt Huang was also anxious, and hurriedly wanted to defend Xia Luo.
"You're enough!" Mrs. Xia stood next to Mrs. Xia to calm her down, for fear that she would be angry, so she stopped Aunt Huang's defense.
"Grandmother, a lowly aunt, how can you be called mother? If it is spread out, others will say that the uncle is unfilial, and when the time comes, the uncle's face and the Xia family's face will be lost. With such an aunt who doesn't know the rules, it's no wonder that she will teach a shameless daughter. Mu Qingge didn't hesitate to shoot at Aunt Huang, anyway, this matter is also going on, it is better to take this opportunity to set up a rule for her aunt, otherwise she will not be able to change it for a lifetime.
Old Mrs. Xia was already angry with Xia Luo, and when she heard Mu Qingge say this, she looked down on Aunt Huang even more. When the rest of the aunts heard that this was wrong, they didn't dare to help Aunt Huang speak in this situation.
"Uncle, you can't be so kind anymore, even if you don't understand the rules, you lose face when you go out, aren't you still a member of the Xia family?" Mu Qingge changed his soft tone and said, "I'm in the capital, but I haven't seen anyone who has children raised in front of his aunt." ”
Mrs. Xia was also frightened by Xia Luo's matter, and when she heard Mu Qingge's previous words, she clearly knew that she was helping herself make rules. After listening to the latter words, I felt even more ashamed that I had been a housewife for so many years, and I still needed a child to help me. So, I thought that I couldn't be so weak anymore.
Aunt Huang was so angry with Mu Qingge that she couldn't speak, she was from a bad background, so she couldn't say it at this time, so she wanted to rush over to beat Mu Qingge.
The servants were quick and hurriedly stopped Aunt Huang.
"Someone! Pull it out and hit twenty boards! Mrs. Xia was furious and directly slapped Aunt Huang.
