Chapter 20 Aunt Hu is punished
Shen Qian was even more surprised, "Then you...... You okay? "Liu Ruxue he knows, and he has seen it a few times, if it really doesn't sound as Meng Xiaoran in front of him, if she is really like Meng Xiaoran said, is that kind of person, then isn't Meng Xiaoran dangerous?
Meng Xiaoran smiled bitterly, "Before I went, I smeared a layer of black ash on my face. ”
Shen Qian chuckled unceremoniously when he heard this, and then shook his head again, it's no wonder he didn't know, this Liu Ruxue is the first beauty in Yujing City who has been famous for a long time, and her reputation outside is also excellent, gentle and graceful, and she has never heard the slightest bit of badness, so even if Shen Qian will investigate the Prime Minister's Mansion, he will never think of checking on a young lady who is deep in the boudoir, or that his inner should have reported, he has never paid attention to it.
However, he knew the contradiction between Mrs. Xiangfu and the eldest lady, and all he could think of was to let Meng Xiaoran use the contradiction between the two to profit from it, but now it seems that Liu Ruxue's side will not work, so he can only start from Mrs. Xiangfu.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian slowly spoke, "After a while, the Prime Minister's wife will hold a flower appreciation banquet in the mansion, didn't you ever tell me, you are good at cooking, you have recently found a way to show off a few times, and show yourself well, Mrs. Xiangfu has the best face, if you can give her a long face at this flower viewing banquet, she will definitely reward you, maybe she will go to you." ”
Meng Xiaoran nodded, she was still a little confident in cooking, but she still had to think about how to be in the limelight.
"No matter what, you are careful in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if it is...... Miss Liu makes things difficult for you, you can bear with it, but you can rest assured, you will not let you worry about your life. ”
"I know, it's not too early, I have to go back, it's not good to be found out after being out for too long." Meng Xiaoran said.
"Be careful." Shen Qian finally instructed.
Meng Xiaoran nodded at him, and then flew away, disappearing into the night after a while.
"Qingfeng, instruct me to go down and find out the situation of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion and make a list for me." Qing Feng suddenly appeared, and whispered, Shen Qian turned his back to him, waved his hand to let him leave, and he stood in the dark pavilion, looking at the lake and falling into deep thought......
Because of Xiaocui's relationship, Aunt Hu also took care of Meng Xiaoran, she was finally able to eat hot meals normally these days, and she would also help Aunt Hu if she had nothing to do, one was because of Xiaocui, and another reason, she wanted to find a chance to cook as soon as possible, she had eaten here for a few days, and found that the ancient meals were very ordinary, thinking of Shen Qian's instructions, she was secretly a little anxious.
In the afternoon of this day, everyone was resting in the courtyard after lunch, when suddenly the door of the large kitchen was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in violently.
Mother Li hurriedly greeted her, and when she saw someone coming, the leader was Mother Xia, the housekeeper of Ruxue Pavilion, who was also the nurse of the eldest lady, and was very trusted by the eldest lady, only to see that she was glaring at everyone with a fierce face at this time, and Mother Li asked cautiously with a smiling face:
"Mother Xia, what's wrong?"
Mother Xia glared at her with a cold face, "Let the Hu family come out for me!" ”
Everyone looked at each other, they didn't know what was going on, at this time Aunt Hu was also shouted out of the kitchen, Xia's mother glanced at the people behind her, and immediately several stout women rushed from behind her, holding Aunt Hu in custody, Xiaocui ran over to save her mother, but was knocked to the ground by a mother-in-law, Meng Xiaoran walked over to help her, and the two stood aside.
Aunt Hu struggled a few times, and was slapped a few times by those mothers-in-law, and the corners of her mouth immediately bled out, "Mother Xia, what did the old slave do?" Why do these mothers-in-law beat people as soon as they come up? Although Aunt Hu is a cook, she is also an old man in the house, and she is also a little decent, when has she been beaten like this, her face is pale, she looks at Mother Xia, and asks her to give herself a reason.
Mother Xia sneered, her eyes full of disdain, "What's the matter?" Hu family, you are so bold, you dare to drug the eldest lady's meal? It's light to hit you a few times today, and when you go to the master, see how many lives you have! ”
Aunt Hu panicked at this time, and drugged the master, it was fatal, she immediately shouted wronged, "Wronged, how can the old slave drug the eldest lady, and the old slave will not dare to give the old slave a hundred guts......"
Mother Xia snorted coldly, "The eldest lady has a good appetite today, so I will let you make a spicy fried duck tongue, this dish is Mrs.'s favorite on weekdays, and the eldest lady also wants to taste it, who knows that it won't take long to eat it and the abdominal pain will not stop, you say, why is it okay for the lady to eat, but the eldest lady will have more than abdominal pain?" What is it that you didn't drugged? ”
Aunt Hu was dumbfounded, she really couldn't figure out why the spicy fried duck tongue she made as usual would make the eldest lady have abdominal pain, so she could only be dragged out by a few mothers-in-law, Xiaocui cried and shouted to follow, but was pulled by Meng Xiaoran.
Everyone standing on the side was scared into a cold sweat, and wiped the sweat on their heads for the rest of their lives, Meng Xiaoran got along with Aunt Hu these days, and felt that she was honest and kind, how could she not look like a person who would poison her, let alone poison the eldest lady?
"Xiaocui, don't worry, let's think of a way together, we will definitely be able to rescue Aunt Hu." Meng Xiaoran is not very good at comforting people, so he can only squeeze out these few words, and he has done his best.
Xiao Cui wiped her tears and didn't speak, and a maid named Xiaogu on the side shook her head, "Hey, Madam fights with the eldest lady, and the people below suffer." ”
When Meng Xiaoran heard this, his heart immediately moved, and he asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?" ”
Although this little drum is not very old, it is very bright, she likes to inquire about gossip the most, she knows some things in various courtyards in the house, and likes to tell people about this, this time Meng Xiaoran asked her, and she immediately came to the spirit.
She pulled Meng Xiaoran to the corner and whispered: "You don't know yet, our lady is actually not the original match, the eldest lady was left by the lady who died first, and she is very discordant with our lady in private, and only a few people know about this matter, or a sister who is waiting in the lady's yard said it when she chatted with me." ”
As she spoke, she looked around again, and whispered in Meng Xiaoran's ear, "Aunt Hu is a person brought by Madame's mother's family, and she is very loved by Madame, and the eldest lady can't fight Madame, so she can only find it from somewhere else, but it has hurt us people." ”
Meng Xiaoran's lowered eyes flashed, it turned out that what Shen Qian said was true, this eldest lady and Mrs. were not compatible, and they didn't know how to fight in private? It's just that Aunt Hu was wronged in vain, which is really pitiful.
