Chapter III Complaint
Listen to the rain fast
Under the warm afternoon sun, the snow in the garden of the Hou Mansion gradually melted, and it was difficult to have good weather in the winter of Yicheng, as if spring was coming.
After returning home, Jiang Shuangxue has been sullen, Ling Xi begged Jiang Shuangxue for a long time, and asked Jiang Shuangxue to take her to the garden to play, but Jiang Shuangxue still looked worried, and after hurriedly eating lunch, Ling Xi left the room.
But as soon as Jiang Shuangxue left on her front foot, Ling Xi opened her big apricot eyes, she called the maid Ginkgo, and the two of them quickly ran to the garden to play.
Although the garden of the Hou Mansion is not as good as the lively street outside, Ling Xi still has a lot of fun in the garden, if only her brother Ling Zhu could play with her, and her sister Ling Man, but unfortunately one of them has to go to a private school, and Aunt Leng is not allowed to come to listen to Yuzhai casually, most of the time, Ling Xi can only play alone in the Hou Mansion, fortunately she has Ginkgo, Ginkgo is a few years older than Ling Xi, Ginkgo is not only her maid, but also her partner.
Ling Xi, who had been playing for a while, suddenly felt a little hungry, she looked at Ginkgo and said with a smile: "Ginkgo, I'm hungry, you go back and get some refreshments." ”
Ginkgo looked a little embarrassed, there was still some snow in the garden, in case Ling Xi accidentally fell, she would be punished, but when she saw Ling Xi's hungry look, she couldn't bear it.
"Second Miss, don't run around, I'll come back after taking the refreshments."
After Ginkgo Biloba Qian told Wan Qian, he left with confidence, Ling Xi continued to play with his small leather ball in the garden, and inadvertently the leather ball rolled to the side of the green steps in the distance, only to see Ling Man's small body standing on the green steps, squeaking and calling: "Sister, sister." ”
Suddenly, Ling Man leaned down and wanted to pick up the small leather ball under the steps. With a loud bang, Ling Man fell down the steps and began to cry.
Ling Xi hurriedly ran to Ling Man's side, slowly helped her up, and then comforted her softly: "Sister gives you a huhu, it won't hurt." ”
I don't know when, Leng Qiuye and the maid Xiaolan also appeared in the garden, Leng Qiuye walked quickly to the bottom of the green steps, pushed Xiao Ling Xi away, she picked up Ling Man, and carefully examined Ling Man's body in distress.
Leng Qiuye saw that a big red envelope suddenly bulged on Ling Man's white forehead, so he scolded Ling Xi loudly and angrily: "Second Miss, how did Man'er offend you, you are so ruthless and push your sister down such a high step. ”
Before Ling Xi could react, he almost fell to the side because of Leng Qiuye's pushing.
"I didn't push my sister, she fell down the steps by herself," Ling Xi defended loudly with some grievances.
Ling Xi also saw the red and swollen bag on Ling Man's head, she was very annoyed, if she had been by Ling Man's side just now, Ling Man would not have fallen, seeing the redness and swelling on Ling Man's head, Ling Xi was also a little distressed, Ling Man must have died of pain, she just wanted to approach Ling Man and see her injuries, but Leng Qiuye's words made her stop.
"The second lady really lies and won't blush, the maid Xiaolan has seen it, you still want to deny it, you said that you didn't push Man'er, who can prove it? Could it be that this is the cultivation of the young lady of the Hou Mansion of Anguo, who lies a lot when she opens her mouth. ”
Ling Xi didn't know where Leng Qiuye was so angry, she indiscriminately accused and framed herself, but she really didn't push her sister, Leng Qiuye's accusation made Xiao Ling Xi feel more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, she was extremely aggrieved.
"Aunt Leng, I really didn't push my sister, I don't believe you asked my sister."
Tears flowed from Ling Xi's eyes, and Ling Xi cried aggrievedly.
When Leng Qiuye heard Ling Xi call her aunt, she was angry, and said in a weird manner: "Second Miss is really a good brain, Man'er is only three years old, and she can't speak clearly, you asked me to ask Man'er, it's not what you say." ”
Leng Qiuye gently patted Ling Man's little body, and Ling Man gradually stopped crying in his mother's arms.
Leng Qiuye's words became more and more excessive, Ling Xi couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she cried sadly, and her big eyes were still glaring at Leng Qiuye angrily, as if she was about to eat her.
"What's the matter, the second lady doesn't admit her mistake, is it possible that she still wants to beat me?" Leng Qiuye looked at Ling Xi's wide angry eyes and said sarcastically.
Ling Xi's heart was full of grievances, as well as anger towards Leng Qiuye, she didn't understand such a simple thing, why couldn't she tell Leng Qiuye clearly? She didn't like the showy aunt in front of her before, but now she was even more disgusted, Ling Xi was angry, turned her head and ran away angrily.
Leng Qiuye looked at Ling Xi's figure gradually moving away, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she whispered to Xiaolan: "Remember, today you saw with your own eyes that it was the second miss who pushed the third miss down the stone steps of Qingtai. After speaking, Leng Qiuye hugged Ling Man and slowly walked to Ling Xiao's study.
..................................................................................................................................................
In the study, Ling Xiao looked at the music in his hand, and was hesitating whether to go to the Tao to ask Jiang Zhennan for a reward, when he saw Leng Qiuye crying and holding Ling Man into the study.
"Master Hou, our mother can't stay in the Hou Mansion in Pingyuan, if Lord Hou takes pity on our mother, let us out of the house." Leng Qiuye cried and knelt in front of Ling Xiao, and the more she talked, the more sad Leng Qiuye suddenly fell prostrate at Ling Xiao's feet with Ling Man, looking very pitiful.
"What's wrong, it's okay at noon, why do you suddenly cry like this." Ling Xiao hurriedly picked up Ling Man on the ground, and at a glance he saw a big red swollen bag on Ling Man's head.
"What's going on Man'er's head, who got it?"
Ling Xiao was distressed, among his three daughters, Ling Man was the most beautiful, quite the glamorous appearance of Leng Qiuye when he was young, he looked at Ling Man's fair forehead with such a big swollen bag, he didn't get angry, fortunately he didn't leave a scar, otherwise Ling Man's beauty would be ruined.
Leng Qiuye glanced at the maid Xiaolan, and Xiaolan cautiously walked in front of Ling Xiao, and said resignedly: "It was the second miss who pushed the third miss to the ground from the bluestone steps in the garden in the afternoon. ”
"Ling Xi?"
Ling Xiao frowned, thinking that maybe this was just a fight between children, after all, Ling Xi was only 7 years old, and it was normal for him to bump into his sister when playing, so he didn't say a word.
Leng Qiuye was silent when she saw Ling Xiao, it seemed that Ling Xiao's anger was more than half, and she began to cry again.
"In the afternoon, I took Ling Man to the garden for a walk, and I didn't dare to go anywhere else, for fear of displeasing Mrs. Man'er, I was afraid that Man'er would catch a cold, so I went back and got a cloak, and when I returned to the garden, I saw that Man'er had fallen under the bluestone steps, and the second miss was next to her, and I heard Xiaolan say that the second miss pushed Man'er down the green steps for no reason. But the second lady not only did not apologize, but also angrily yelled at the slave family for a long time before leaving. How old is the second lady, dare to treat my sister like this, I'm afraid that Mrs. can't tolerate our mother's third. ”
Leng Qiuye deliberately raised some crying, she still lay on the ground, letting her tears hit the floor, in the cold winter, although the charcoal fire in Lingxiao's study was warm enough, there were still bursts of chill on the floor, and soon her fair little face was stinging, and the cold autumn leaves with a slight reddish face were a little more delicate.
After Ling Xiao handed Ling Man to Xiaolan, he immediately picked up Leng Qiuye who was lying on the ground, he helped Leng Qiuye to sit on the stool next to him, and put her head on his waist.
Ling Xiao began to be a little angry with Jiang Shuangxue in his heart, he and Jiang Shuangxue have been married for ten years, he knows that Jiang Shuangxue is not a jealous woman, but it is too coincidental, he can't help but be a little suspicious, and now that the Marquis of Anguo Mansion has made war merits, catching up with Leng Qiuye's request for sealing, Jiang Shuangxue has no son, and she may really retaliate against Leng Qiuye.
"I know you've been wronged, don't worry, I won't let you be bullied."
Leng Qiuye heard Ling Xiao say this, so she stopped crying slightly, she lay quietly in Ling Xiao's arms, but tears still flowed quietly from her face.
"Hou Ye loves our mother, why don't the slave family know, but Hou Ye is often in the barracks, and Mrs. Hou has the final say in the Hou Mansion, Mrs. can't tolerate our mother, and anyone can bully us when the time comes."
"Whatever you want in the future, let Ling Fu go out to procure it directly, and you don't need to ask Madame. In the future, if the lady has it, you can have it. ”
Ling Xiao looked at Leng Qiuye's uncontrollable tears, which made him even more dissatisfied with Jiang Shuangxue. He gently stroked her body, like coaxing a child, comforting Leng Qiuye for a long time. Hearing this, Leng Qiuye was a little relieved in her heart, it was obvious that Ling Xiao was already dissatisfied with Jiang Shuangxue, as long as she had the freedom not to be under the control of her wife in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, sooner or later she would successfully replace Jiang Shuangxue, and the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was still hers.
