17. Confront

Zhong Ling has always been a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but at this moment, she inexplicably felt a chill in her heart, and her feet involuntarily began to retreat.

Those eyes!

She never knew that human eyes could be like that: red as blood, cold as a knife, as if there was a monstrous hatred spurting out of it, and she wanted to turn into a tiger and devour people with their belts......

Zhong Ling fell to the ground and cried out with a "wow": "What are you fierce!" ”

Pu Jia exhaled slowly, her eyes covering her fierce gaze.

Mrs. Qin held the handmaid's hand, stepped forward with grace, and flicked her sleeves as a courtesy: "Ling'er is young, and she has always been open-mouthed, please forgive the princess." ”

Pu Jia knew that she should say something at this time, but she was in a bad mood and didn't want to say it.

Mrs. Qin was originally just putting on a show, and before the words came out, she was already waiting for Pu Jia to say "don't dare". Who knew that until her words were finished and the ceremony was completed, she didn't see Pu Jia come to help her.

The atmosphere at the scene froze.

Mrs. Qin snorted coldly and stood up straight, and pulled down a long face: "The children of our small family, it is not right for us to collide with the princess." It's just that the princess just said that we don't understand - what does it mean that 'An Guofu is ready to trample you to death with one kick'? We dare not admit this great sin of 'committing the following crimes'! ”

"It's already been done, what's there to recognize?" Pu Jia coldly blocked.

Mrs. Qin was used to being flattered, and she never expected Pu Jia to be so aggressive, and she was stunned for a while.

- This princess Showa is notoriously lustful, when did she actually have the courage to go wild in Anguo Mansion?

- Could it be that I, who is a mother-in-law, is looked down upon by others and treated as a soft persimmon?

Mrs. Qin's heart was alarmed, and her face was gloomy at the moment, and she held her head high and showed the momentum of being a housewife: "Princess, our Anguo Mansion has assisted nine generations of kings, and our loyalty can show the sun and the moon, and no one in the world knows!" You have planted such a crime for us today, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals in the world! ”

Pu Jia only sneered when she heard this, Yuan Xiuzhen had already rushed up the stairs with a pale face, and knelt down with a "poof": "Princess Rongyu: This morning, when Chunxuan Hall asked for peace, my aunt only said that the princess should be close to her family, and did not say anything about kowtowing to tea, this is all because Xiuzhen's words were not spread well to cause a misunderstanding, and the princess will blame me!" Now my aunt and the old lady have come to visit me in person, and I ask the princess to forgive me......"

"Zhen'er, get up, it's none of your business!" Madam Qin blackened her face and shouted sharply.

Yuan Xiuzhen couldn't afford it, knelt on the ground and cried.

Pu Jia stepped out of the threshold, casually turned the short knife in her hand, and the corners of her mouth sank slightly: "I said that Anguo Mansion has been loyal and good for generations, and the old lady and lady will never be so cunning and mean, it turns out that you are a cheap maid who is the obstacle!" ”

Yuan Xiuzhen raised her head in amazement.

Pu Jia didn't look at her, but moved her eyes to the old lady and the maids, and said slowly: "Early this morning, the cousin of the Yuan family broke into my room alone, and as soon as she entered the door, she said that the old lady and the lady had been waiting in Chunxuan Hall for a long time, and scolded me for not understanding the rules and not going to kowtow early. At that time, the colt had just been beaten half to death and sent back, and I was tugging in my heart, and I couldn't help but be disheartened when I heard these words, but when my mother-in-law was cold-hearted and inhumane, who knew that it was a misunderstanding! I'll just say, the tea ceremony has always been a young husband and wife go together, how can there be a reason for parents to beat their son to death and ask their daughter-in-law to kowtow alone? ”

Mrs. Qin heard that she was referring to Sang scolding Huai, and her face couldn't help but become a little more gloomy.

The old lady in the crowd coughed and bowed tremblingly: "In this way, it is indeed the person who said that his heart can be punished." The old man only said that he wanted to see his granddaughter-in-law, why did he say that he wanted the princess to come and kowtow? Although I am old and confused, I have not forgotten the courtesy of the king! ”

Pu Jia moved the corners of her lips and pulled out a smile, and quickly stepped up to hold the old lady's hand: "Grandmother, excuse me, this is going to break me!" ”

The old lady stood up straight with her hand, and there was already a smile on her face: "Look, look!" Who said my granddaughter-in-law was rude and rude? ”

Pu Jia lowered her head slightly and sighed: "The girl went out to spread the word that the imperial doctor has not come back yet, and I really don't feel at ease to leave the horse alone in the room, so I have to ask my cousin to confess to the old lady on my behalf-I don't know what this sentence has become when it reaches the ears of the old lady and the lady?" Listening to the meaning of the third sister, could it be that the cousin added some unpleasant words in the middle? ”

At this point, everyone's expressions are no longer the same as before.

Yuan Xiuzhen wanted to interject several times, but she couldn't cover Pu Jia's voice, but she was so anxious that her face turned pale. It's easy to wait for Pu Jia to finish speaking, she can no longer care about maintaining her elegant and beautiful image, and shouts anxiously: "It's not like this! Those words were clearly said by yourself, and I didn't add fuel to them......"

Pu Jia looked at her again, stunned: "What, do you want to cause me to fall out of harmony with the elders in the house, and you only provoke one end, but forget to provoke the other?" ”

There was a mistake in the transmission, which Yuan Xiuzhen herself admitted. At this time, she herself denied it, and even Mrs. Qin and Zhong Ling had suspicious looks on their faces.

The more anxious Yuan Xiuzhen became, the more indescribable she became, and beads of sweat somehow flowed all over her face.

Previously, she took the initiative to stand up and admit that she had made a mistake in what she said, in order to use her docile and well-behaved knowledge to roughly contrast Pu Jia's rudeness and rudeness, and to add another fire to Mrs. Qin, who was angry. How did she know that Pu Jia would be so tricky, and at once she bit her mistake, and planted all the charges on her head by going down the slope to the donkey!

Frame! This is clearly a frame-up!

She just added a little fuel and vinegar when she passed the word, and she didn't make it out of nothing, why should she bear this charge?

The more Yuan Xiuzhen thought about it, the more she felt wronged, knelt up straight and cried: "I have witnesses!" My cousin can testify for me! It was the princess herself who said that it was always others who came to worship her, and her cousin heard it! And also...... Also, when I first came in, I saw the princess with a short knife preparing to assassinate her cousin! Aunt, Xiuzhen doesn't dare to lie, just ask your cousin! ”
