Chapter 34: The Bitter Meat Scheme
Of course, the eldest lady's eyes did not let go of Li Wanling beside Li Wanru. Although she usually doesn't take the initiative to provoke the fifth aunt, this time she won't let Li Wanling go lightly.
Feeling the true hatred in the eldest lady's eyes, Li Wanling couldn't help but lower her head, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, it seems that the play that the second sister invited her to watch was really not for nothing, and it was impossible to be alone.
Turning his head slightly, he looked in the direction of Li Wanru, and there was a bit of helplessness in his bright eyes.
In an instant, it was as if a different person had changed, and looked at Li Wanyun with a shocked face: "Fourth sister, just now it was obviously you who were holding the golden hairpin and wanted to pounce on the second sister, causing the second sister to be frightened and stand unsteadily and fall, if it weren't for me to hold the second sister, I'm afraid it's not just the eldest lady who fell into the water today, I don't know how many more people will be added!" ”
"I didn't, it was because of the second sister that the eldest sister fell into the water, and so many maids around can prove it."
Li Wanyun was originally a little weak-hearted, but when she heard Li Wanling, who was usually muffled, say this, she was sullen for a while, and her voice was unconsciously raised, and everyone couldn't help frowning.
The eldest lady couldn't help but feel distressed when she looked at Li Wanqing, who had just fallen into the water and her face was a little pale, and she planned to send Li Wanqing back to her house as soon as possible, but Li Wanqing stubbornly refused, and the eldest lady was reluctant to let go of the opportunity to punish Li Wanru and Li Wanling. also followed Li Wanqing's meaning, but let people quickly find a clean and refreshing cloak for Li Wanqing to put on.
The eldest lady's eyes swept to Qiu Ju behind Li Wanyun, feeling the gaze of the eldest lady, Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Madam, old man, slave maid also saw with her own eyes that it was because the second young lady knocked down the third young lady that the Huxin Pavilion was in chaos, and the eldest lady fell into the pool. ”
From beginning to end, Li Wanru, the culprit in everyone's mouth, just listened to their conversation with a calm face, she had already expected this situation, and the only thing that surprised her was Li Wanling, the third sister who was deliberately pulled into this competition.
Although she knew that Li Wanling said that just now to protect herself, she couldn't help but be surprised that she would speak for herself. And Li Wanling's eyes when she looked at her just now were not resentful but helpless, which made her even more puzzled.
But this is not the time to think about this, it is time for her to appear!
Li Wanru carefully moved her injured leg, and the blood stains on her skirt were like plum blossoms blooming on the skirt at this moment, and everyone found out that Li Wanru was also injured, and everyone's attention was on Li Wanqing just now, but no one noticed it.
Looking at the faces of Li Lin and the others, Li Wanru knew that she had used this bitter trick correctly, and stepped forward with difficulty with the support of Moyu and replied: "Fourth sister, I know you don't like me, you came to apologize to me today, I have clearly forgiven you, why do you want to be angry with the eldest sister, is it because your father only punished you last time, but did not punish the eldest sister and resented your father and mother for being unfair?" You've gone too far, and my eldest sister almost ......."
Hearing Li Wanru say this, everyone's eyes focused on Li Wanyun's face. Feeling the questioning eyes of everyone, Li Wanyun had never suffered such a grievance, and at this time she forgot to be afraid, only full of anger!
"Li Wanru! What nonsense are you talking about! How could I be dissatisfied with the eldest sister, it's not because of your broom star, I just want to use the golden hairpin to scratch your face, if you don't hide, how can the eldest sister-"
Li Wanyun didn't finish her words, because she suddenly saw Li Lin's angry eyes glaring at her fiercely, and she realized that she had unconsciously followed Li Wanru's words.
"I, I didn't, I didn't want to pay back the eldest sister, it's Li Wanru's broom star ......"
Li Wanyun was really panicked at this time, she was eager to defend herself, but at this time, her father Li Lin's angry voice came.
"Enough, why are you so vicious, and the sisters of the house dare to frame you like this, I will punish you fiercely today, and come to ask for family law!" Although Li Lin didn't like this daughter very much, he didn't expect her to have such a vicious mind at a young age.
Li Wanyun's face was so frightened at this time that there was no trace of blood, you must know that only those who have been abandoned by the family will be enforced by the family law, if she is executed today, it will be a stain on her life, and when she grows up, there is absolutely no woman who will be executed by the family in a big family.
She quickly knelt down, kept kowtowing, and shouted in her mouth: "Father forgive me, Wanyun doesn't dare anymore, mother, you love Wanyun the most, you plead for Wanyun, I really didn't think about hurting my eldest sister!" ”
Li Lin was also angry just now before he said to ask for family law, although he attached importance to Li Haoping and Li Wanqing, but he also put a lot of thought into the daughters of several concubines, and these concubines will pave the way for Wanqing and Haoping in the future, and each of them cannot be wasted in vain.
Although he regretted it a little, for the sake of face, he just looked at Li Wanyun who kept kowtowing with a gloomy face, but he didn't speak.
The people, seeing the old man's gloomy face, no one dared to ask whether to ask for family law, and the Huxin Pavilion was silent for a while!
Looking at Li Wanyun with tears on her face in front of her, the eldest lady's face at this time was also very ugly, this Li Wanyun was so useless, she almost killed Wanqing if she didn't get rid of Li Wanru, but at this time she couldn't give up this chess piece, so she could only hold back her anger and said: "Master, the fourth girl is also a child, and it is inevitable that she will do wrong things, but fortunately, this time Wanru and Wanqing are not a big deal, so punish her to ground, copy the female ring a hundred times, and don't leave Ziwei Pavilion until she copies it, how about it?" ”
Hearing the eldest lady say this, Li Lin was also a lot less angry, and since the eldest lady had spoken, he was relieved: "Don't thank your mother quickly, if there is a next time, no one can intercede for you!" ”
"Thank you mother, father, Wanyun doesn't dare to be there." Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Wanyun, whose forehead was already bruised and swollen, and left the Huxin Pavilion.
And in this process, Li Wanru didn't say a word, didn't shout a wrong, didn't cry out in pain, looking at Li Wanru's injured leg, Li Lin's eyes were a little more genuinely pity. said to the lady: "You quickly send someone to ask the doctor to take a look at the two girls, especially the leg injury of the like should not be taken lightly." I still have something to do in the middle of the court, so go out for a while. ”
Although she was dissatisfied with Li Lin's fact that she cared about Li Wanru more than her Wanqing, she still claimed to be docile and even claimed to be. Li Lin nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
Looking at Li Lin's back as he walked away, the doctor turned his head to look at the maid in front of him, and ordered with a calm face: "You can't even take care of the master, what's the use of keeping you?"
The tone was light, but the maids present were shocked into a cold sweat, and quickly knelt down and kept kowtowing to confess.
After a long while, the doctor said lightly: "As a slave, you have to know what is the most important thing, all the maids and daughters-in-law have halved the monthly routine this month, get up, and next time it won't be so simple!" ”
How dare the maids and women distinguish the slightest, and quickly kowtow to thank them, and then they got up tremblingly.
Only then did the eldest lady turn around and look in the direction of Li Wanru and Li Wanling, her eyes were no longer sharp as before, but full of gentle concern: "You two have been wronged today, especially the second girl's leg is still injured, today's incident is your fourth sister's childlike nature, don't have any suspicion between your sisters because of such things." ”
Although Li Wanru and Li Wanling didn't understand why the eldest lady suddenly changed her face, they would not be stupid enough to ask, so they followed the eldest lady's words and claimed yes.
Seeing them so interesting, a trace of disdain flashed on the eldest lady's face, these concubines are not like chess pieces in their hands, they let them fall wherever they are, how can they resist.
"Okay, you guys should hurry back to the yard to rest, Moyu, why don't you hurry up and help your second lady go back to rest, and when the doctor comes, I'll ask him to hurry over and bandage the second girl!"
Mo Yu was originally worried that Li Wanru would not be able to stand it, but at this time, when she heard the eldest lady say this, there was no reason why she should not say this, although she was anxious, she still said respectfully: "Yes, eldest lady." ”
