Chapter 34: Conflict
Xie Roujia saw the smile on Shao Mingqing's face and felt that she was going crazy.
Today is the first day of the Lantern Festival held at home, and the cousins and brothers who received the post, as well as the cousins and brothers in the family, have come one after another.
The lantern festival is in the garden, the people of the Xie family have hung all kinds of high-quality lanterns they have bought, and the brothers and sisters who came to watch the lanterns have also brought their own lanterns.
The lantern festival is not only about watching lanterns, but also about lantern riddles and writing poems, so that young men and women can show their talents.
Xie Roujia made a few lamps by herself, and also wrote lantern riddles, and took the girls to the garden to hang them.
"Are these all for the eldest lady?"
"The eldest lady wants to write lantern riddles."
The two men talked as they ran.
My sister is also writing lantern riddles? Didn't you say that you went to Xie Yao to discuss the night's game, and came back so soon?
Xie Roujia happily quickened her pace and asked her sister to see her lantern riddles.
When she took people around the bushes and flowers and trees, and followed the two little girls to the small pavilion by the lake, she saw Xie Rouhui and Xie Yao sitting in it, writing something with a pen, and a teenager standing next to her, looking down at them writing, Xie Rouhui looked up from time to time as if asking for his opinion.
Xie Roujia didn't pay attention to this young man at first, her eyes were full of her sister.
"Sister, are you going to write lantern riddles too?" She shouted loudly and walked briskly towards the little pavilion, holding the lamp she had made herself.
Hearing this voice, Xie Rouhui and Xie Yao immediately turned around with shocked expressions.
Xie Roujia didn't notice their expressions and stepped forward happily.
"Sister, I made the lamp for you, you can write the lantern riddle on this." She said, looking down at the lamp in her hand.
She made a total of five lamps this time, grandmother, grandfather, father, mother, and sister.
"Don't come here." Xie Rouhui shouted, and the people ran out in a little panic.
Xie Roujia stood on her feet in a daze, raised her head and looked over with some puzzlement, and saw the young man who turned around at a glance.
The young man was long and jade, and white as jade under the sun.
Shao Mingqing? Hell yes!
This was Xie Roujia's first thought, how could he be here?
Hell, this was Xie Roujia's second thought, and he really showed up at home.
"Someone's coming!" Xie Roujia shouted, her voice a little crazy.
Come on, come on, get rid of him, get rid of him, get rid of him.
"Jiajia, Jiajia." Xie Rouhui hugged her and eagerly comforted, "I brought him here, I brought him here, don't be afraid." ”
Xie Roujia couldn't hear her words anymore, her ears were buzzing, her heart was beating like a drum, she felt trapped by someone, and she couldn't help but break away.
Xie Rouhui was pushed to the ground like this.
"Shao Mingqing, who asked you to come!" Xie Roujia shouted waving the lantern in her hand.
No, whoever asked him to come won't do it.
"Whoever asks you to come can't come! You give me go, go quickly! She hissed.
Xie Yao seemed to have been frightened, and let out a scream as she looked at Xie Rouhui who was sitting on the ground.
"Megumi, Megumi." She shouted, stumbling over, "Are you alright?" ”
The girls on both sides who were also scared stupid rushed up, some people went to support Xie Rouhui in a mess, some people went to appease Xie Roujia, and some people ran to Shao Mingqing.
"No matter who let you in, you can't scare our young lady, you go, go quickly." Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows and crossed his waist and shouted.
Mu Xiang, who rushed over, almost fainted when he heard this, why did he leave the second lady for such a while, and it was like this.
"Jiajia." Xie Rouhui got up from the ground, held her hand with one hand, and rushed over again to grab Xie Roujia, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I invited my cousin here, don't be angry, don't be angry." ”
How could my sister invite him to come, my sister would never invite him to come, he must have been coaxed in by his rhetoric.
Xie Roujia held the lantern in her hand and threw it at Shao Mingqing.
"Get out of here, get out of here." She scolded.
Xie Rouhui raised her hand to block it, and the lantern smashed on her hand, and with Xie Yao screaming again, Xie Rouhui fell to the ground again.
"The hand is broken, the hand is broken." Xie Yao shouted, rushed over and began to cry, "Come on, it's bleeding, it's bleeding." ”
Hit my sister!
Xie Roujia was excited, and hurriedly threw down the lantern and called her sister to check it, but someone stopped her.
"Hold the second miss, the second miss is scared." Mu Xiang raised her eyebrows and shouted.
The girls are still stunned.
"Don't let her hurt the eldest lady." Mu Xiang shouted again.
When this sentence came out, everyone woke up, whether it was the eldest lady or the second lady's girl, the first rule they received was that the eldest lady was respected, and no one should hurt the eldest lady, no matter who that person was.
Seven or eight girls hugged Xie Roujia and took her backwards.
"How about I look at my sister? Sister. Xie Roujia struggled and shouted, but the more she struggled, the more the girls grabbed her.
Jiang Ling pounced.
"What are you doing, let go of the second miss." She shouted, tugging.
In the distance, more people ran over when they heard the sound, looking at Xie Rouhui, who fell and was crying with Xie Yao's bloody hand, and then looked at Xie Roujia, who was surrounded by the girls and shouted loudly for her sister, some people were stunned, and some people followed the yelling, and the garden was in chaos.
In Mrs. Xie's courtyard, a group of maids knelt down, silent.
"Big lady, I've been drugged."
The doctor at home bowed and said.
"The bones are fine."
Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Rouhui, Xie Rouhui had already combed her hair and changed her clothes, but the tears on her face had not dried, her expression was uneasy, and her hands were wrapped, which looked a little scary.
"Mother, it's really fine, it's just a layer of skin." She stood up and said hurriedly, as if to show that Xiàn was okay, and raised her hand to shake.
The girls next to them were frightened and hurriedly stopped.
Mrs. Xie got up and walked out, and Xie Rouhui pushed the girls away and followed.
"Mother, it's really none of Jiajia's business, I fell on my own." She knelt down in the hall and said.
Hearing this sound, the people kneeling in the courtyard couldn't help but look up, and saw that the little girl was holding the corner of Mrs. Xie's skirt with her hand wrapped in a wounded cloth, looking pitiful.
The room was also full of people at this time, and Old Madam Xie slapped the table.
"It's really none of Jiajia's business." She shouted.
With the cheers, the maids and servants in the courtyard lowered their heads again, not daring to take another look, only the roar of Old Madam Xie in their ears.
"Who let that kid surnamed Shao come to the house? Don't you know that Jia Jia will go crazy when she sees him? ”
Xie Rouhui kowtowed and cried.
"It's me, it's me, grandmother, it's all my fault." She cried.
"It doesn't matter what the eldest lady does."
Xie Rou said in a hoarse voice, ran out and knelt down.
"I begged Megumi to do this, because I can't bear to let my cousin be coldly watched at home because of such a thing."
The second lady Shao was furious when she heard this, and raised her hand to give Xie Rouqing a slap.
"What kind of cold eyes? Is it a lack of food or less clothing? The glamorous young master of the Shao family, where can you be pitiful! She shouted, and her angry subordinates kept beating her over again and again, "Isn't Jiajia pitiful? It's better to get sick again! I'll kill you thing you don't know how to do it! ”
Xie Rouqing didn't hide and let the Shaw family fight, Xie Rouhui knelt down and went over to block it.
"Auntie, no matter what happens to the third sister, I have to do it myself." She cried.
Shaw was afraid of hurting her hand, so he had to stop.
"Megumi, get up quickly, you will protect your sisters." She stomped her foot and said urgently.
Xie Rouqing and Xie Rouhui hugged and cried.
"Cry, cry, what's the use of crying, do it, what is there to be wronged." Old Madam Xie shouted angrily, "Crying and crying, who did you learn from!" Jiajia didn't cry in the ancestral hall, why are you crying! ”
Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Rouhui.
"Megumi, why the hell?" She asked in a deep voice, "Don't you know what your sister is afraid of?" ”
Xie Rouhui cried and nodded.
"It's me who is bad, it's me who is not good." She just said.
Xie Roushu, who has been hiding behind people, can't help it anymore, if she lets Na Jiajia succeed again this time, she will really let her go sideways in the future.
Besides, this matter is obviously her idea, although Megumi takes it on herself, but she will not be so stupid as to think that she has really left the relationship.
Look at how smart Xie Rouqing is and takes the initiative to take responsibility, no wonder she can be so good with Huihui.
Xie Roushu gritted her teeth and ran out.
"No matter what Huihui does, Huihui is for Jiajia's good." She shouted.
All eyes in the room were on her.
Song was even more startled, but her daughter was speaking for Xie Rouhui, so she didn't speak.
"Jiajia is not likable, she is said to be a lot of unpleasant things, Huihui doesn't want her to be said like this, I..." Xie Roushu continued, the words came to her mouth with a little weakness, "I, we just want others to say it, just like letting others see Jiajia, because it was originally because of Cousin Shao, so I invited Cousin Shao to come to the house, so that everyone can see that Jiajia is not that kind of person, we know that Jiajia is afraid, so we originally avoided Jiajia, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by Jiajia, and Huihui didn't want to be like this, Huihui is so protective of Jiajia, how could she deliberately scare her. ”
I see, everyone in the room shook their heads, these children are really children's thoughts, innocent, ridiculous and helpless.
"No, no, it's all my fault, don't talk about it, don't say it." Xie Rouhui cried.
"It's just that you're wrong." Old Madam Xie shouted, "What happened to being said, being said?" Whoever dares to say it, you should slap him in the face! This is to protect your sister, look at your appearance, and in order to let others stop saying right and wrong, just say to them, what is it, it is worth taking it to heart, look at your heart, it is better than Jiajia. ”
Why don't you Jiajia?!
When this sentence came out, Master Xie on the side sighed in his heart and secretly said that it was not good, this was the biggest taboo in Mrs. Xie's heart.
"Mother, that's not how it is." He hurriedly said, but he was still a step late, and Mrs. Xie, who was standing at the bottom, looked at Mrs. Xie suddenly.
"Mother is right." She interrupted Xie Wenxing, said lightly, and looked at Xie Rouhui again, "If someone says what you are afraid of, you will do it, where do you come from so much because of this because of that." ”
Mrs. Xie also said the same, and the room was quiet, and Xie Roushu and Xie Rouqing didn't dare to cry.
It's over, it seems that even if Xie Rouhui comes forward, she won't be shaken by Xie Roujia.
Xie Rouhui looked at Mrs. Xie with a white face, and lowered her head in response.
"Get up for me." Mrs. Xie said again, raising her eyebrows, "You remember for me, everyone in this family can kneel, and you can't kneel." ”
Xie Rouhui raised her head sharply again, as if she was a little incredulous.
"Ayuan." Master Xie shouted.
Mrs. Xie didn't give him a chance to speak, but looked at Xie Rouhui.
"Get up, get your meter in order, and go serve the guests you've invited." She said, "No matter what the reason, no matter what the reason, whoever you want, you can come, you can do whatever you want, no one is sorry, no one has to be sorry for anyone, no one can blame you." ”
Xie Rouhui opened her mouth in shock.
The people in the room were also stunned, and Mrs. Xie slapped the table.
"Xie Yuan, what do you mean by that?" She shouted.
Mrs. Xie turned her head to look at her.
"Mother, that's what you mean by suing me like this?" She said, "Do you mean to ask Megumi to confess her mistake to Jiajia?" Do you want the eldest lady of the Xie family to look at other people's eyes in everything she does in the future? The eldest lady of the Xie family even has to greet and be thoughtful when inviting a person as a guest? ”
Old Madam Xie's face froze.
"Mother, if you think that the eldest lady of the Xie family should do this, you are still the Dan Lord, I listen to you." Mrs. Xie looked at her and said word by word.
The room was silent, and it seemed that even breathing had stopped.
looked at the eyes of the full hall and looked at Xie Rouhui who was still kneeling on the ground.
This is the eldest lady of the Xie family, the proud and high-minded Miss Xie who can't be reprimanded for half a sentence.
Old Madam Xie glared at Mrs. Xie, her face was pale, and her hand holding the armrest was strong.
"Ayuan, this is not the same thing." Xie Wenxing said.
"Ayuan is talking to the old lady, when is it your turn to interject." Old Lady Xie immediately glared and shouted.
"It's not your turn to interject!" Old Madam Xie raised her eyebrows and shouted.
Old lady Xie stopped talking.
"I know what you mean." Mrs. Xie looked at her husband and said lightly, "It's just that there are two things that I have to decide in front of everyone now, first, Huihui was beaten, is it her fault." ”
Xie Rouhui hurriedly shook her head, but looked at her mother's stern face and opened her mouth and didn't dare to speak.
"Second, it's not her fault that Hui Hui invited people to be guests at will." Mrs. Xie said, looking at Xie Wenxing, her expression was undoubted, "If these two things are not explained clearly today, I think everyone will be confused in the future." ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to pull Xie Rouhui up, and turned to look at Old Madam Xie.
"Mother, is she wrong?" She said, "I listen to you. ”
