29, prop up the façade

As the patriarch of the Xin family, Luo's is the old lady who cultivates in the other courtyard, and she is the one who goes out to socialize and support the façade of the Xin family.

This will, the words of the Leng family did not cause any waves in her, as if she was not surprised at all, and even the corners of her lips that rose when she was laughing with the lady next to her just now did not change in the slightest.

"Mama said and laughed, when your old lady saw Xiao Qi for the first time, he decided on her, these old ladies also reward Xiao Qi from time to time, these can be said to be fate, and they are all blessings of the two families."

You say 'blessed' to me, and I say 'blessed' to you. ’

The implication is just to remind the Leng family that the two families are good for the family, and don't get something out that can't be put on the table.

The face of the Leng family's leading grandmother was a little not good-looking, and she saw the smiling grandmother sneering,

"Madame also knows that our two families are good families, and our family sincerely asks to marry, but what about your family......"

The grandmother sneered, and saw that the subordinates of the Leng family standing on the side separated slightly, revealing a road, and there was a maid standing on the road, not the peach fairy who was driven out of the house, who was it?

A maid, the ladies and girls of other families naturally don't know each other, but the people of the Xin family are familiar with it.

"Two ladies, this is your Xin family's maid, right? Madame may not know that this maid came to the door and said that she had something important to do......"

"I thought it was your family who agreed to the marriage, but I never thought that it would be such a filthy thing."

"The girl in your family secretly met with a foreign man and pushed them into the water......"

The reason why Taoxian was kicked out of the house was because he sent things to the fourth young master of the Gu family in the name of Xin Yi, causing the fourth young master Gu to think that Xin Yi was in love with him and frequently humiliated her.

After the incident, because of Ming Yushan's hard work, and because Taoxian's deed of sale was not in the hands of the Xin family, he was just driven out of the Xin Mansion.

This will, Luo's complains a little bit about the Xu family, such a maid, if she is disposed of according to the Xin family's treatment, it will not matter if she is killed.

But the Xu family just drove her out, which caused today's disaster.

What Taoxian said today can be said to be half-truths and half-truths, Xin Yi did push Gu Si into the water, as for whether the private meeting is private or not, it is up to everyone.

Many of the ladies present had participated in the banquet of the Korean Mansion, and they also knew that Fourth Young Master Gu was in the water when the day came, and Xin Yi was present to save him.

I didn't expect there to be such a secret here, everyone exchanged glances, and obviously believed a little.

Xu didn't expect that Tao Xian would say such ambiguous words to mislead everyone, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ming Yushan, only to see Ming Yushan's face stunned, glaring at Tao Xian angrily, looking incredulous.

Luo stood there calmly, shook his head, and sighed at several grandmothers,

"I see, no wonder your family has such a misunderstanding, hey, let's talk about it, I don't blame your family, I only blame our family for being too kind."

Her gaze slowly swept over the people present, her expression was extremely helpless, only to hear her sigh astringently, and said with a wry smile,

"It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but the matter has come to this point, I can only tell the truth, please laugh."

"Everyone knows that our Xiaoqi has been weak since she was a child, and everyone thinks that she can be happier, so they spoil her, but because of her body, she rarely goes out."

"But just like that, Xiao Qi still has an arrogant and domineering reputation, and our family didn't care about it at first, after all, pampered children don't know how to worry, and they are all children who talk and do things."

"But later, after a long time, it became more and more wrong, and our family only thoroughly investigated, and it was found on this maid's body."

Luo's chin nodded, and he glanced at Tao Xian, his eyes indifferent,

"This maid is walking outside for some reason, and there are rumors that she is walking outside the master's house."

"The Xin family is a family of goodness, even so, they didn't kill her, they just drove her out of the house, but I didn't expect her to die."

Xu, who had been standing silently beside Luo, suddenly had red circles in his eyes, and then said,

"In the final analysis, whose child is hurt, Xiao Qi is already weak, and she is so young, we are reluctant to let her marry outside, it is understandable."

"Hey, it's all because I'm too greedy, thinking that my daughter can be safe and happy and stay by her side for a few more years, so I delayed the wedding date for two days."

Xu's voice was soft, his eyes were slightly red, and his self-blame was beyond words.

Everyone present was either a woman who had already become a mother, or a little girl who was about to say goodbye, and all of them felt the same way.

What kind of mother doesn't think about her children?

When a few housekeepers saw that everyone was concerned, they suddenly secretly screamed in their hearts.

Originally, they were just subordinates, and they dared to be so bold because they had the order of the housemother, and now they were in an ambush outside, and they must make the seven girls of the Xin family lose face and destroy their honor, so that they can carry out the next plan.

In this way, not only will the Leng family be removed from it, but it will not damage the reputation of the young master who is about to participate in the Spring Festival.

Who knew that it was dismantled by the people of the Xin family in just a moment.

It was a few people who could only say in unison with smiling faces,

"Two ladies, it turns out that we are also deceived, why don't we go in and say slowly, today is the banquet of the main family, and we can't let all the nobles and ladies stand outside."

Xu Shi smiled softly, "This is reasonable, the Leng family and the Xin family have been friends for several lifetimes, and we have never seen each other, but today is nothing, isn't it true that you stewards must say it in public?" ”

The corners of her lips showed some sarcasm,

"It's also funny, last time in the Korean Mansion, our Xiao Qi was holding a weak body, regardless of his own safety, and wanted to save the person who fell into the water ashore, which Lord Xiao saw with his own eyes."

"When is it wrong to save someone? I only know today what it means to add sin to desire, and what trouble there is. ”

"The Leng family is one of the best families in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, and you are also well-informed, why don't you talk about it?"

The faces of several housekeepers suddenly turned the color of pig liver, as if they had been slapped a few times.

"This ...... We're just subordinates ......."

How many Xiao adults are there in the capital? Since Xu can say the three words of Lord Xiao, it means that this matter is true.

Xu nodded with a smile, "It turns out that the stewards also know that it is not good for people to talk about other people's strengths and weaknesses, so just now, you said a word to me, as if you saw my little seven privately meeting with foreign men and pushing people into the water." ”

"Dare to ask Mama, what are you doing here?"

Xu's words were like a slap in the face of several people, and they didn't dare to say a word again.

At this moment, there was a sound from inside the moon cave door,

"What's going on? Everyone is late today, and they will have to punish themselves three times when they wait! ”

Leng Mu walked out with light steps, with a gentle smile on her face, and sincere words as if she didn't know anything.

Everyone present silently exchanged glances, going to the banquet today and bringing their daughter to come, just to have a good relationship with the Leng family.

After all, the Leng Family Academy is the place where the world's scholars squeeze their heads and want to enter.

On the other hand, everyone thinks that today is the day when the Xin Leng family achieves good things, so everyone also wants to be happy.

But when they arrived at the scene, everyone tasted something else.

This Leng family probably wants to get out of the marriage, but they don't want to beat the mouse and hurt the jade bottle.

It seems that the so-called family is really full of filthy things.

When she saw everyone in the Xin family, Leng's mother hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "In-laws, you are here, hurry up, let's go in and talk." ”

Luo Shi looked at Mother Leng intently, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was cold, "Yes, we should go in and talk about it." ”

She briefly said what a few housekeepers had just said and done,

"It's the first time I've seen it today, but it's just the words of a vicious slave with a criminal record, and the people of your mansion are as excited as if they have been splashed with dog blood."

"Speaking of which, my family is still too kind-hearted, otherwise it would not be enough for such a slave to die eight hundred times."

Leng Mu looked helpless, a little embarrassed, and was silent for a moment,

"What's this called, it's all mine, I shouldn't be lazy for a while, and let these minions come to pick you up."

"It's better for me to make amends to my in-laws, and I hope you will raise your noble hands and spare these disrespectful minions."

As she spoke, Leng Mu's face showed some embarrassment, and she looked at the Luo family and the other Xin family, and her usually gentle face was more solemn.

"Two ladies, no matter whether what this slave said is true or not, is the girl of your mansion perverse, and the so-called gentle and virtuous, is the rules and etiquette deceitful and stealing the world?"

If the attitude of the housekeeper of the Leng family just now shocked everyone, now the attitude of the cold mother can simply explain everything.

Everyone was stunned, everyone could guess that the Leng family deliberately gave the Xin family's daughters a faceless result today, but they never expected that after those stewards were useless, Leng's mother would go into battle in person and say these words.

In her identity, she said that she wanted to help her mother intercede and beg the daughter of the Xin family to let her go, which was simply humiliating.

Doesn't this put the people of the Xin family on the same level as the next people? It's just embarrassing.

As for Xin Yi's temperament, don't the Xin family know?

Just now, Luo's even said that Xin Yi is straight and child-like.

I grew up pampered again, to put it bluntly, isn't it just nothing?

Xu suddenly felt the tip of his tongue heaking, and he couldn't say anything to justify.

Of course, she can use the excuse that Xin Yi is weak and her family can't bear her hard work, but even if she says it, let alone the family affairs of the Leng family, even if she goes to the capital, no one will marry Xin Yi.

When the time comes, she won't even be able to marry ordinary people.

She couldn't help but look at Xin Yi.

I saw Xin Yi standing with her hands in her hands, facing Leng Mu's questioning, her face did not fluctuate for a minute, she stood there quietly, with a condescending attitude, as if the person in front of her was a rookie and a local dog barking endlessly.

Xu had never seen Xin Yi like this, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Leng's mother naturally saw it, she felt surprised, her face was not obvious, but there was a wave of anger in her heart, she was really a pretentious girl, fortunately she made a decision and arranged today's scene, otherwise wouldn't it hurt her son's life?

Thinking of this, she said softly,

"What does the girl have to say about that?"

"But my Qingsong is just an ordinary man, and he is not worthy of a unique character like the girl, can you ask the girl to let my son go?"

Luo's face changed, what kind of blessed girl, what old lady is sick, is it all that the Leng family has done is for today, for today's humiliation of the Xin family's girl?

She was about to take a step forward with her feet raised, when she saw Xin Yi step forward earlier,

I saw her standing up in an orderly manner, giving Leng's mother a standard lady's ceremony, and then looked up at Leng's mother, with a bright smile on her face,

"Thank you to the Leng family for not marrying, Xin Qi is grateful!"

Mother Leng couldn't help but widen her eyes, this little girl, what should she do? How dare you say this in public?

After Xin Yi saluted in an orderly manner, he stood again with a correct posture and a sincere smile, which was like a slap in the face of Leng Mu.

She couldn't help but point at Xin Yi, her lips trembling.

Xin Yi didn't look at her at all, just bowed to Luo's Yingying,

"Auntie, today Xiaoqi has overpassed, I want to ask the ancestors of the past dynasties, why are people not allowed to look at?"

"Originally, it was a family affair that people asked to come to, but in the end, others reversed right and wrong."

"Just like many women in this world, knowing that the world is difficult, they will still help the abuse, harm the women next to them, and do it humbly, nothing more than this."

Xin Yi's words were like sharp blades, scraped on the face of Leng Mu.

These words seem to be incompatible, but in fact, they are angrily scolding Leng's mother for splashing all the sewage on Xinyi's body in order to withdraw from the marriage.

Looking at Xin Yi's smiling bright eyes, she was obviously just a little girl, but that momentum made Leng's mother impossible to ignore.

She pointed to the door and said to Xin Yi,

"Get out, get out, we don't welcome you in the Leng family, and we can't afford to be a daughter-in-law like you."

Xin Yi smiled lightly at Leng's mother, neatly gave her a farewell salute, simply turned around, and stretched out his hand towards Luo's Xu's,

"Auntie, mother, let's go home."

Her neatness made the original aggrieved hearts of the female relatives of the Xin family feel a refreshing feeling.

Xin Yi took Xu Shi and walked out, her slender figure was as tall as a pine, her steps were free and easy, and every step was so crisp.

It's as if this flower hall, this mansion, and the people here are not worthy of her.

Just as everyone in the Xin family was about to walk to the door, a group of people came in outside, and the clear voice of the person who started was frost at the moment,

"Today's events are all a misunderstanding, our Leng family is not worthy of the seventh girl."

Xin Yi stood there, crossed the crowd, and saw in the distance, only to see a figure standing outside the crowd like a magnificent landscape.

The eyes of the two collided.
