Chapter 412: Shame

Qiu Yuan bowed, and everyone around understood what was going on.

Although it is not clear what the sixth girl Jiang whispered to Li Shanwen, even if it is a bad word related to Qiu Yuan, it must not be known to people, so Qiu Yuan would rather apologize than let them say it in public. Although everyone was curious, looking at the attitudes of both parties, they also knew that Qiu Yuan was the one who was at fault. Since it is a loss, it is too hateful to turn his back and beat a rake, and to reverse black and white in front of other uninformed people and sow discord. If things really develop as Zhao Xiu said, wouldn't they all be framed by Qiu Yuan, and even the family would have a grudge against the Jiang and Li families for no reason? What's even more terrifying is that Jiang and Li didn't make any mistakes, they are the ones who are at fault, and even the Queen Mother will be offended at that time, what good can they do?

Although these little girls are a little shallow and naΓ―ve, they are not stupid people, and after figuring out who is right and wrong, they will know the consequences of the matter if they think about it carefully. Everyone felt a little afraid, and their eyes at Qiu Yuan were also unkind. They regarded Qiu Yuan as a friend, so they believed her words. But she lied to them to be her stepping stone, and what did she think of their friendship?

Qiu Yuan stood there with her head down, the cold sweat on her forehead continuing to bubble up. She could feel the changes in the eyes of the people around her, and she also knew that after today, her reputation for gentleness and kindness in the circle of ladies in the capital would no longer be able to be kept. But she had no choice. It is better to be said to be scheming and temperamental, than to let people know that she helped the queen and the eldest prince of Anyang Bofu to calculate the Jiang family girl. The lesser of two evils, she really has no other way.

"Since Sister Qiu has admitted her mistake. So let's leave it at that. The play is over, everyone goes back to listen to the play, just order what you want to hear. The daughter of the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion smiled and persuaded everyone to return to their original positions. He stared back at Qiu Yuan a few times, his face was faint, although he seemed to be smiling, everyone knew that the former was not in a good mood.

Zhao Xiu turned around and smiled at Jiang Liuyu and Li Shanwen, and nodded in thanks. Miss Jiang Liu waved her hand and smiled. glared at Qiu Yuan. Li Shanwen grabbed her and went to Mrs. Jiang's side together. Zhao Xiu sat down on his own and looked up at Miss Xie San. He spoke calmly, "Please be seated." You just keep standing, and you'll get in the way of the people behind you. ”

Miss Xie San's face was red and white for a while. She glared at Qiu Yuan angrily, hating this person who had misled her and caused her to lose such a big face. She was originally well-intentioned to help others, but now she has become a fool in the eyes of everyone. How can she swallow this breath?

Qiu Yuan also knew that she couldn't offend the queen's family. can only smile flatteringly: "Good sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean to." ”

Miss Xie San sneered heavily: "So you didn't mean it?" Then he immediately sank his face, threw up his sleeves and left, and ran directly to Mrs. Qu Shuibo's side.

Qiu Yuan was anxious, but now that Miss Xie San was angry, Mrs. Qu Shuibo's face was not very good-looking, so she would go over to make amends later. It doesn't help. I can only pray that the queen mother will "recover" sooner, and with the support of the queen mother. It's actually not a big deal to offend a Xie San girl.

Thinking like this, she settled down a little, but against the disdainful eyes around her, it seemed too embarrassing for her to continue to sit in her original position and watch the play, besides, there was still a Zhao Xiu. She bit her lip and decided to go to her grandmother, but the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Qiu came over and whispered to her, "Second girl, the old lady has instructed you not to go to her." It's just such a fuss, you passed, and the ladies and wives of other families asked, she was not good at talking. ”

Qiu Yuan was stunned, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. Other girls protested coldly: "What is my sister doing standing there stupidly? We couldn't even see the stage behind us. Qiu Yuan's face was flushed, and she could only sit down in her original seat with a hard head, like sitting on pins and needles.

Her grandmother, Mrs. Qiu, was also on pins and needles at the moment. The little girls just made a fuss, Zhao Xiu didn't suppress her voice, and she wasn't afraid of making a big fuss, so because of the matter, Mrs. and Mrs. Grandma all knew about it. Compared with the comment that Old Lady Qiu said in public, Zhao Xiu may be suspected of being too angry in their eyes and ignoring the overall situation, but Qiu Yuan's problem is obviously more strict. This made Old Madam Qiu feel very embarrassed. If it was another daughter's daughter who was exposed, then she could still come back, rely on the old man to say some high-sounding words, and count Zhao Xiu's mistakes. But now that it is Qiu Yuan who has been exposed, she can't say this anyway. Just now, how hard she stepped on Zhao Xiu, and now how painful she was slapped in the face. She could feel how much schadenfreude was contained in the eyes of the people around her, especially Mrs. Cao and Zhang, the former was simply saying cool words: "It's really a good tutor, it's not as good as growing up in someone's hometown." Who can stand such a girl? has nothing to do, but also to sow discord, kindness must be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, I am afraid that a good family will be disrupted by her. ”

There was more than one person at the banquet who felt the same way. Even those who originally had a good impression of Qiu Yuan and had the intention to marry their children and grandchildren in the family have now retreated. Just like Mrs. Cao said, she has a bad character, loves to provoke trouble, and pretends to be gentle and generous while picking up trouble, and such a daughter-in-law marries home is also a scourge. It's better to marry a spicy guy directly, it's good that someone is powerful in the face. is better than Qiu Yuan, who seems to be virtuous and peaceful, but likes to use methods behind his back, making people unguardable.

Seeing this, Old Madam Qiu became even more angry in her heart. If it was on another occasion, maybe she would have turned her face and left on the spot. But the queen's mother, Mrs. Qu Shuibo, is here, and the Empress Dowager Jiang's younger daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang Er, is here, she doesn't dare to be ruthless in front of them, so she can only endure her anger and continue to sit until the banquet is over. It's just that what the people on the stage are singing, whether the drinks and dishes are delicious, she no longer pays attention, and her whole attention is on the whispers of the people around her.

Second Mrs. Jiang listened to her daughter and Li Shanwen's words, her face was silent, in fact, she had already scolded the Qiu family in her heart. Miss Zhao from Jiannanhou Mansion reminded her well, so let's do it, so that the Qiu family will look like they are nothing. continued to make waves, and hit her daughter with the idea! If it weren't for the Zhao family's girls to find out the root cause today, they would have to make things clear. asked Qiu Yuan to fight in a round, and there were really rumors in Ming'er Jingli, saying that her youngest daughter was bullying and looked down on Xungui. Now the Queen Mother does not allow the girls in the family to enter the palace, and several girls have to say goodbye. If her youngest daughter offends all the noble families, and her reputation is ruined, it is not easy to talk about the Qingliu family, what will she do at that time? Second Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mrs. An Yangbo, who was sitting beside her. decided to teach Qiu Yuan a lesson.

Qiu Yuan is certainly a loser today, but the three girls of the Xie family are inevitably affected. Because everyone knows in their hearts that Qiu Yuan is certainly souveniring to sow discord with bad intentions. But the third girl of the Xie family not only believed in the provocation of others, but also stood up for others on inappropriate occasions, and as a result, she was tired and embarrassed, which is not a commendable thing. Qiu Yuan is a stirrger. Then the third girl of the Xie family is a daredevil. If these ladies, wives and grandmothers plan to find a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law for their sons and nephews. I would never consider the two of them.

Mrs. Qu Shuibo knew this, so when she saw her niece sitting over, she couldn't help but whisper a few words to her. The third girl of the Xie family's eyes turned red at once, and she felt extremely aggrieved, but she didn't dare to refute, so she could only lower her head and bite her lip without speaking. Seeing this, Mrs. Qu Shuibo couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Originally, this niece looked better than her sister Miss Xie Si, and she was also of the right age. Qu Shuibo has expectations for her. Nowadays, it seems that what is not suitable is what is not suitable. Their Xie family already has an untimely queen. There can't be another dull and reckless concubine.

Today's drama wine in the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion is destined to end bleakly. The guests' minds were not on the stage, and after a few hasty listens, they took their own leave. Mrs. Jingyuan Marquis knew the reason inside, and she also had some opinions about Qiu Yuan in her heart, but she didn't dare to blame the cause of the incident, Miss Jiang Liu, and Miss Xie San, one of the parties involved, still sent the guests away with a smile on their faces. As for what the family thinks of today's events when she turns around and closes the door, no one knows.

On the way home, Zhang said to Zhao Xiu in the carriage: "Today's girl from the Qiu family is really hateful!" It's just that you're too reckless. If Mrs. Jingyuan and her daughter want to suppress this matter and persuade you to settle the matter, then you have to do it against them, won't you offend people? If you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, don't make a big fuss, and make it clear to the Xie family girl in private. People are also understanding people, but they were just misled by the Qiu family. ”

Zhao Xiu said: "She only believed Qiu Yuan at the time, and she wouldn't believe anything I told her." If it weren't for me alarming everyone, and Qiu Yuan had an unsavory secret in the hands of the Jiang family, she wouldn't have obediently made amends. If she doesn't make amends, how can the girl of the Xie family know that she has been deceived? What I did today, some people may think that it is too reckless, but in order to protect the innocent reputation of our Jiannanhou Mansion, what does it matter if I am said to be reckless? Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, I'm not a gentle and docile flower. ”

Zhang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and could only smile bitterly and shake his head, but he no longer blamed his granddaughter.

And Qiu Yuan is not so good. After returning to Meishan Bo's Mansion, Mrs. Qiu squeezed out a sentence deep from between her teeth: "Follow me!" He took his granddaughter back to his own yard and ordered her to kneel down: "Say! What the hell is going on today?! ”

How dare Qiu Yuan tell the truth? could only say the matter vaguely, of course, she consciously pushed the responsibility to Jiang Liu's side and Li Shanwen's side, and highlighted Zhao Xiu's temperament and Xie San's recklessness. There are more girls who are said to be disobedient when they are guests, which one is like Zhao Xiu, who doesn't even give face to the host's family, so she has to quarrel? At that time, Qiu Yuan provoked so many girls, except for Xie San, no one else jumped out to provoke Zhao Xiu. Of course, this is also Miss Xie San's.

But Mrs. Qiu didn't buy it: "Zhao Yatou didn't mention it, Jiang Liuya is the niece of the Queen Mother, and Xie Sanya is the Queen's cousin, which one has no backstage and which one has no backer?" You just hold them well, why do you want to offend people? What did Jiang Liuya say about you? You want Baba to run away to someone else and ruin her reputation?! ”

Qiu Yuan was dumbfounded.

At this time, Mrs. Meishan Bo came. She rushed over after receiving the news, and pleaded with her daughter as soon as she entered the door: "Don't be angry, old lady, it's all a girl." Why don't you kowtow to your grandmother? What the hell is going on, hurry up and make it clear. What can't be said in front of my grandmother? He also secretly gave his daughter a look, and motioned for her to say a few more good words to coax Mrs. Qiu.

Qiu Yuan quickly thought of an excuse: "Yes, grandmother, don't be angry, it's all granddaughter's." Today...... In fact, the granddaughter overheard Miss Jiang Liu's conversation with Miss Li because she heard them mention the matter of the fourth girl of the Jiang family, and she was curious for a while, so she ......"

Old Madam Qiu really became interested: "What did they say?" Since this is the kind of thing, why don't you stop it? The disgrace is also the disgrace of the Jiang family. ”

Qiu Yuan said with a bitter face: "They only vaguely said that it had something to do with the eldest prince of Anyang Bofu, and before the latter was mentioned, the granddaughter was discovered." Of course, the granddaughter wants to say it, but the second Mrs. Jiang is still there, and there is the queen's mother. This matter was spread outside, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the Queen Mother and the Queen were involved. If the granddaughter rashly mentions it, if she offends the two nobles, won't it bring trouble to the family? ”

Old Madam Qiu's face softened: "I see. That's fine. He sneered again: "It was an ugly thing for their Jiang family, but the sixth girl Jiang was also bold, and decided that you didn't dare to tell the truth, and even said big things in front of everyone." If it weren't for the Queen Mother's support for her, I wouldn't have been able to resist the big-eared scraper! ”

Mrs. Meishan Bo and Qiu Yuan hurriedly smiled and agreed, this matter is considered to be in the past. Old Madam Qiu turned her head again and asked her daughter-in-law, "How is Brother You's daughter-in-law today?" Still messing around? (To be continued......)
