When Zhao Xiu said this, he didn't lower his voice, so the girls around him heard it and turned their heads to see what was going on. At first, they saw that Zhao Xiu had a conflict with others, and Qiu Yuan was there, and they were all affected by Qiu Yuan's slander, so they were unhappy and disdainful of Zhao Xiu.

One of the girls said coldly, "What's the matter?" If you are a guest in someone else's house, you will also make trouble. ”

The girl who was at the same table with Zhao Xiu also said to Zhao Xiu with a cold face: "Don't be embarrassed!" For Sister Qiu's sake, I don't care about you, do you really think I'm afraid of you? If you do something, don't blame people! ”

Zhao Xiu sneered and didn't give an inch: "Then tell me what I did?" I am an upright person, why should I be wronged for no reason? I'm shameless when I shout injustice? I see that you casually talk nonsense about other people, and you are not necessarily a decent person! ”

"You!" The girl was so angry that she suddenly stood up, "Who do you say is not a decent person?!" ”

Zhao Xiu also stood up: "You slandered me in public, is this what a decent person should do?!" ”

The girl's face flushed with anger. Qiu Yuan saw that things were out of control, and secretly complained in her heart. Knowing this, Fang Cai only said that Miss Jiang Liu and Li Shanwen did not bring in Zhao Xiu, who was irrelevant. Zhao Xiu has always had a reputation for being unforgiving in the circle of girlfriends, and she provoked her, she would never give up if she didn't ask things clearly. But if she really asked her to ask things clearly and go back to tell the Jiang family, wouldn't it be terrible?

Qiu Yuan could only step forward again with a smile on his face and play a round game: "Let's not say a word." It's just a few quarrels, where did it get to this point? Today, everyone is here to visit the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion. Even if it's in front of the host's house, shouldn't it make a fuss? After saying that, she knew that Zhao Xiu had no friendship with her. I had to persuade another girl instead: "Forget it? Stop it. It's not good for the elders to see it. ”

When the girl heard this, she was angry, and couldn't help complaining about Qiu Yuan. Why should she have trouble with Zhao Xiu? Isn't it for Qiu Yuan to get ahead? As a result, Qiu Yuan not only didn't help her speak, but told her to stop making trouble. Isn't her kindness in vain? What is the love between the two?

She glared at Qiu Yuan and became stubborn: "What did Sister Qiu say?" It's wrong with her, and when the elders see it, they will only say about her, what's wrong with me?! ”

Qiu Yuan was stunned when she heard this. There was also a surge of anger in my heart, complaining that this girl had nothing to do, but caused her a lot of trouble!

The three of them made a fuss like this. The surrounding ladies all heard clearly, and the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion was sitting not far away, and also rushed over, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" Why did you quarrel so much? ”

When Zhao Xiu explained to her what had happened. The ladies also heard the commotion. Mrs. Jingyuanhou and Mrs. Qu Shuibo, the guest of honor, were very concerned about this matter. And Mrs. Qiu, who was on the other side, saw that her granddaughter was also involved. So he asked the people around him, "What's the matter?" ”

It was the mother-in-law of the Qiu family who answered her, and the statement was naturally biased: "The third girl of Qushui Bo Mansion and the eldest girl of Jiannan Hou Mansion quarreled for some reason, and the second girl of our family went to persuade peace, but instead annoyed the eldest girl of Jiannan Hou Mansion, so she made a fuss, and no one persuaded her to listen to it." ”

When Old Madam Qiu heard that it was the granddaughter of the Zhang family, whom she had never disliked, she sneered: "Who am I, it turned out to be her?" She was different from other daughters. Although he was also a public honor, he grew up in the countryside. is used to being casual, and she can't compare to the daughters of serious families like us, who have been raised strictly since childhood. What is the occasion today? Mrs. Qu Shuibo is still here, and there are so many elders here, how much temperament can she have as a little girl, and she will quarrel with the queen's sister in front of everyone? It's rude not to give the host face at all! ”

Mrs. Qu Shuibo frowned when she heard this, and looked at her niece with some concern. What she brought today is the daughter of the little uncle's family, and she is the queen's cousin, although her father is only a fourth-grade official, but as Mrs. Qiu said, she is the queen's sister-in-law. Could it be that now that the queen has lost power, even the Jiannan Marquis Mansion, who has always been loyal to the emperor, does not buy the queen's account?

Mrs. Cao, who was sitting on the side, was a human spirit, and when she heard it, she knew that Mrs. Qiu was doing evil, and she sneered: "This is too much to rely on the old and sell the old, and before the matter is clear, she stepped on other people's upbringing first, and looked down on others who grew up in the countryside, as if she was not from the countryside." When Mrs. Qiu heard this, she glared angrily, but Mrs. Cao didn't see it.

Zhang's heart was also very angry, but she was gentle by nature, and she couldn't make trouble on the spot like her granddaughter, so she only pursed her lips: "How many good words can she have in her mouth?" I don't bother to bother with her. ”

At this time, Zhao Xiu had already finished the matter, and said to the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion: "My sister's mansion has a treat today, I know that I shouldn't spoil everyone's happiness." But Miss Xie casually put a charge on my head, but I couldn't bear it. I endured it today, others only acquiesced to me, and people in the capital will say that we built the Nanhou Mansion to help oppress other nobles in order to tie up with the emperor's relatives and relatives, so do we want the reputation of our Zhao family to be gone? ! ”

It is related to the reputation of the whole family, and the daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion also knows that this matter cannot be ignored. She also had a little resentment towards Miss Xie San in her heart, thinking that the other party really had nothing to do, so why did she have to say it to her face? Even if you think so in your heart, you don't need to say it, right? She asked Miss Xie San, "Is it like what Miss Zhao said?" If that's the case, my sister shouldn't be. There is a quarrel between the sisters, it doesn't matter, just forget if the sister pays a loss, don't make trouble in front of the elders. ”

How could Miss Xie San be willing to compensate? She herself still feels justified: "Why do you want me to compensate her?" It's clear that she helped others bully Sister Qiu first, what's wrong with me saying two sentences about her?! ”

Zhao Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Why did I bully your sister Qiu?" Also, who are the royal relatives you are referring to? Why did people bully your sister Qiu? Don't just wronged people with empty mouths and white teeth! ”

Qiu Yuan desperately tried to pull the third girl, but unfortunately she didn't hold back. People opened their mouths and said: "What Sister Qiu said, just now she kindly talked to the six girls of the Jiang family and Miss Li, but they ignored people and didn't say anything." also gave her a big faceless, relying on being a relative of the Queen Mother, so she looked down on her as just a noble family! Qiu Yuan listened, her face turned pale, and she closed her eyes.

Zhao Xiu knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "This is really reversing black and white, Miss Qiu." I didn't expect you to have such a skill. After saying that, she smiled, and said to everyone, "Although I am not in front of this matter." But it is not far away, so it can be seen and heard clearly. Just now, the sixth girl of the Jiang family and Miss Li's aunt and nephew stood on the side and talked privately, and the second girl of Qiu walked over. I didn't say hello either. He stood behind them, eavesdropping on what they were saying. Miss Jiang Liu found out, naturally she didn't have a good face, turned around and pulled Miss Li to leave, but Miss Qiu Er also stopped no one from leaving, and asked her what was the matter, but she couldn't say it. If it is said that Miss Jiang Liu relies on being a relative of the Queen Mother, she looks down on her. That's nothing. Miss Jiang Liu looked down on Miss Qiu, just because Miss Qiu was not upright. As for me helping Miss Jiang Liu bully Miss Qiu. That's even more slander. I was very embarrassed when I saw that Miss Qiu Er was being exposed and eavesdropping, so I stepped forward to persuade Miss Jiang Liu and Miss Li to leave. I wanted to be a good person, but I didn't expect to be splashed with sewage instead. ”

She turned to Qiu Yuan: "You eavesdropped on other people's words by yourself, and you were discovered, and if you refuse to admit your mistake, you will even beat you up, saying that people look down on you, provoking others to be dissatisfied with Miss Jiang Liu and Miss Li, and taking revenge on me, the person who helped you." What does this mean exactly? Miss Xie San was upset for you, and quarreled with me, and you came to play a round again, so I had to endure the matter in front of the master's family. When rumors flew all over the sky in the future, the girls from the noble family here said that I was not good with Miss Jiang Liu and Miss Li, and the Jiang and Li families felt wronged, and went out to inquire, and the words came out of the mouths of other girls. The nobles and Qingliu have made enemies with each other, and you have a good reputation. What a wishful thinking, you're really good! ”

Qiu Yuan's face was red and white for a while, in the end, she was just a teenage girl, and the city government was not deep enough, so she showed a weak heart in a panic: "I...... I didn't! I never thought of it that way! ”

Zhao Xiu sneered: "Then you can tell the truth." Every girl here thinks you're a good person and believes what you say. Tell them what's going on. Don't worry, I'll ask Miss Jiang Liu and Miss Li to come over and confront you, so that there will be any misunderstandings in the middle, and there will be a lawsuit again! ”

The movement here was so loud that Miss Jiang Liu and Li Shanwen had already heard it, and they all came over: "We can testify, things are just like what Sister Zhao said, which one bullied Qiu Er?" She sneakily hid behind people and eavesdropped, which frightened our sisters, and I was not allowed to give her a look? ”

Miss Xie San looked at Qiu Yuan in disbelief: "Sister Qiu, are they ...... Is that true? "Even if it is not pleasing to the eyes of the daughters of scholarly people, they also know that hiding behind other people's backs and eavesdropping is never what a serious lady should do. If they meet this kind of person, it is impossible to have a good face.

The other girls whispered, and everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Yuan. Qiu Yuan was in a cold sweat all over her body, and her face was pale.

Seeing her like this, Miss Xie San bit her lip, and knew faintly in her heart that she had been deceived by Qiu Yuan. She was unhappy in her heart, but she had always been good friends with Qiu Yuan, and it was not good to be angry with the other party here, so she reluctantly helped to distinguish herself: "Sister Qiu, did she hear people say bad things about you, so she was angry for a while?" ”

Qiu Yuan's eyes lit up, she looked at Miss Xie San gratefully, and was about to take the ladder to get off the stage, but Zhao Xiu coldly poured cold water on her: "Then do you want to ask Miss Jiang Liu and Miss Li to repeat what they said at that time in front of everyone?" Qiu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Xiu gave Miss Jiang Liu and Li Shanwen a look, the former was still a little dazed, and didn't understand why she said that. It's about Jiang Wenqing's reputation, how can she say it in public? Li Shanwen was more clever, and immediately understood what Zhao Xiu meant, lightly touched Miss Jiang Liu, and whispered to her: "As long as you don't mention the fourth cousin." Only then did Miss Jiang Liu understand, and immediately came to her senses, and said loudly: "Okay, we didn't say anything unseemly." Then he glanced at Qiu Yuan with bad intentions, "As long as Second Miss Qiu doesn't mind, we don't care." ”

How could Qiu Yuan let them say it? Hurriedly said: "No, no, no! It's about other people's privacy, how can you say it in public? Forget it. After that, he gritted his teeth: "I was angry for a moment and said something that shouldn't have been said." I...... I ......" she closed her eyes and bowed deeply, "I can't compensate you for ......" (to be continued......
