That girl was Rong Qiao's personal girl Shuxiang, and after she came back, she relayed what happened in the council hall to Rong Qiao word for word.

At first, it was okay, but after hearing Shuxiang relay Zhu's words in an angry tone, Rong Qiao didn't say anything for a long time.

"Fortunately, the princess is a person who understands in her heart, and knows that the county lord disdains to do such sneaky things, otherwise, if the princess believes it, then the county lord has become something in the eyes of others." After Shuxiang finished retelling, he said angrily.

Rong Qiao calmed down his mind and said, "You told me just now, what did the princess say to the Zhu family?" ”

Hearing this, Shuxiang hurriedly said with a smile on her face: "The princess said that the county lord has a high temperament and is extraordinary, and the slave and maid don't know what it means, so it sounds like a good thing." ”

Rong Qiao smiled on his face: "It's not a good word, but it's a person who understands me, and I didn't say those words to her in vain." ”

Shuxiang had never seen Rong Qiao smile so knowingly, and when she saw this, she knew that Liu Ke was saying good things, so she said playfully: "This princess, looking at a fancy look, I didn't expect it to be an understanding person, but this temperament is too weak, today I can hear it outside the window, she has the intention to give the county lord a head, but she can't bear the Zhu family and those people under her to press her." ”

Rong Qiao smiled coldly and said: "I'm not very particular about tea, but it's not their turn to fool me and call me here from the Zhu family and the mother-in-law who is in charge of distributing tea. I'm not even as good as a concubine in the house. ”

While saying that, she remembered that she had reached the age of marriage, and it must be that the Zhu family disliked her a lot. I couldn't help but feel very aggrieved, and my eyes turned red.

Shuxiang Rong Qiao's color changed, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be like picking up a villain, the princess and princess will be the master of everything." ”

After hearing this, Rong Qiao wiped the tears on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "You are right, there is no need to call them here." They don't deserve to talk to me yet. Bring our tea leaves, and I'll go to my mother. ”

After she said this, she didn't wash her face. took the makeup of crying flowers and walked towards the princess's main room.

Shuxiang hurriedly took the bag of tea and followed.

After arriving at the main room, as soon as he entered the door, he happened to see a concubine of the king of Chu with his sister Rong Ying serving in front of his mother.

Rong Qiao stepped forward to meet the princess Ji, and walked towards Rong Ying without waiting for Ji to speak, and asked, "Sister has something to ask my sister." The housekeeper's daughter-in-law in this house can send all the things that should be sent every month to her sister's yard? ”

After Rong Ying heard this. I didn't understand what Rong Qiao was trying to do, but she wasn't a troublemaker, so she bit her lip and said timidly: "It's all sent on a monthly basis." ”

"But there are minions who bully my sister with shoddy quality?" Rong Qiao asked again.

Rong Ying shook her head.

Ji didn't understand what Rong Qiao meant, and saw that there seemed to be tears on her face. couldn't help but ask, "Qiao'er, what's wrong?" ”

It's okay that Ji didn't ask, but he asked. Rong Qiao couldn't help sobbing: "I know that I don't look good, and my temperament is also annoying. But in the end, it is the flesh and blood of the mother and the father, why is the hot princess of the county so disgusted with me, and the princess of the county is so disgusted that I have not been able to get married, but this kind of thing is always the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and I can't be the master myself, if the mother can't make the decision for her daughter, the daughter will only die. The more she spoke, the more sad she became, a handful of snot and tears.

After hearing this unprovoked words, Ji Shi hurriedly stood up, walked to Rong Qiao, and persuaded: "Who are you listening to, why haven't I heard that your sister-in-law hates you a lot, besides, with me here, how dare she?" ”

"My daughter is already older, no one provokes it, I know it myself." Rong Qiao and his party cried and said.

"Tell me what the hell is going on," Ji said with a deep breath.

"Today, the princess went to her daughter's door, and her daughter didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but the people came as a gesture of goodwill, and her daughter couldn't refuse it, so she ordered someone to serve tea." Before Rong Qiao's words were finished, Ji interrupted angrily: "I knew that a dog who couldn't bark bites people, and he wanted to mess up this family as soon as he got married." ”

Rong Qiao hurriedly said: "Mother listened to me finish speaking, the princess just talked about her reading experience with her daughter, and didn't say anything else, but after she got out of her daughter's courtyard, she went to the council room, and her daughter felt strange, so she took someone to follow quietly outside the window and listened." ”

In order to make Ji believe it, and in order to try her weight in her mother's heart, she didn't say that the scholarly girl heard it and relayed it, but only said that she heard it outside the window.

After saying this, Rong Qiao covered his face and cried even more sadly, "But I didn't expect that it was my sister-in-law who tasted my old tea and asked the mother-in-law in charge to verify it, but these mothers-in-law actually said that they gave me new tea every month, saying that I had a strange temperament and deliberately used old tea to entertain people, which is not a big deal, but it is an insult to my daughter's personality."

The princess wants to ask clearly, the princess of the county actually stopped her, and those minions also pushed back and forth, can they not listen to the princess of the county? The daughter just wants to ask the mother concubine, is the mother concubine also idle daughter, if so, the daughter simply died clean, and there is no need to let the people below abuse me. ”

After listening to Rong Qiao's words, Ji Shi suddenly trembled with anger, "There is such a thing!" Come on, call me here from Bai Xian's family, the princess of the county and the housekeeper's mother-in-law. It's just that now that I'm no longer at home, she thinks she can do whatever she wants. ”

She said and hugged Rong Qiao in every way to comfort her.

"Don't care what others do, you are your mother's sweetheart, and no one else can cross you." Ji patted Rong Qiao's back and soothed.

Rong Qiao's sadness just now has not passed, and after listening to Ji's words, "Mother, listen to it, Sister Rong Ying is not short of anything every month, she is trampling me, it can be seen that I am not as good as my sister in this family." ”

Ji Shi is a clear one, knowing that Rong Ying just said this just to avoid trouble, but in the end, Rong Ying was not her own, and she couldn't stand up for her, so she just said to Rong Qiao: "Your sister just said that just because she is sensible and doesn't care, think about it, you are a serious county lord, these people dare to deceive, let alone her." I see that your sister-in-law is also lazy and used to being a slave. ”

As they were talking, the Zhu family had already walked in from outside the door, and they happened to vaguely hear Ji's words, and they couldn't help but be frightened.

Seeing Zhu walking in, Ji pressed Rong Qiao to the seat next to him, and slowly walked back to the chair in the middle of the hall.

"The daughter-in-law has seen her mother." Zhu respectfully saluted Ji and waited for Ji's reply.

When she saw Rong Qiao here, she suspected that Liu Ke didn't know what to say in front of Rong Qiao, so she went to Rong Qiao to find Ji's approach.

Thinking about it like this, I have a set of rhetoric in my heart.

Ji looked at the Zhu family who bowed and saluted, and was silent for a while before saying to her: "I haven't asked about the family affairs for a while, after listening to Qiao Er's words just now, I think I really want to hand over the family affairs to the Liu family?" If you can't control the Liu family, I will go out myself. ”

When Zhu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Mother forgiveness, although it is to block the mouths of outsiders, and also to make the old princess have nothing to say, the daughter-in-law can't do too much." ”

At the mention of the old princess, the fierce color on Ji's face became heavier, but his tone was not as blunt as just now, and said: "I also know your difficulties, but you can't blindly get used to them in order to win the hearts of the people below, and severely punish the evil slaves who dare to bully the master." ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law understands."

"Let's deal with the matter just now, I think you must be very clear about what happened just now, and then come back to me after you deal with it." Ji didn't explain anything, but said so to Zhu.

After hearing this, Ji Shi was stunned, looked at Rong Qiao and said, "I don't know what my mother is referring to?" ”

"The princess of the county is forgetful, and she forgets what just happened," Rong Qiao sneered.

Ji Shi slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law's words, I understand, you must be referring to the matter in the council hall, I don't know what the princess told you, in short, the county lord only remembers that we are the closest, how could I not face my sister-in-law, but let an outsider take advantage of the loophole." ”

"I also hoped so, but the outsiders did not look down on me, they did not abuse me, and the outsiders did not ruin my reputation behind my back, but I thought that I should be the closest person, not only to protect the evil slaves who deceived me, but also to talk to me behind my back."

After Rong Qiao said this, he laughed at himself with tears: "I think it must be because I am tired of recruiting my sister-in-law on weekdays, otherwise how could my sister-in-law treat me like this, and I don't dare to hope for anything else, I just ask my sister-in-law to give me a place to live for another two years, and after two years, if I still have no landing, I don't need my sister-in-law to be idle with me, I will cut my hair and be a sister-in-law." ”

When Zhu Shi heard this, she immediately panicked, these words were even worse than pointing and scolding her, so frightened that she quickly knelt down and said, "What is the county lord talking about, isn't this going to force me to death?" Where did I dare to treat the county lord like this, and I hope that the county lord will not listen to other people's slander. ”

It's okay for her not to say that others provoke, as soon as she said this, Rong Qiao was suddenly furious, and said to Shuxiang: "You learned what the princess of the county and the princess said in the council hall for me word by word in front of the princess and these people, and confronted the princess of the county on the spot, if you let the princess of the county say a word, I will skin you alive!" ”

The frightened scholar hurriedly said everything Liu Ke and Zhu said in the conference hall. (To be continued)
