Chapter 137: Questioning the Guilt
Songhetang is the residence of the ladies of the Guogong Mansion in the past dynasties, and Jinghu has only been here a few times when he has just met Qingrou and officially met the elders of the Dingguo Mansion.
Today, there are too many guests in the garden, and there are people walking around, but there are fewer people in the Songhe Hall near lunchtime. Jinghu and Li Yi entered the Songhe Hall, and sure enough, they saw Li Yi's grandmother, Mrs. Shi, and the princess of the county sitting on the side with a pale face.
Mrs. Zhou of the Dingguo Mansion sat on the top and was drinking a cup of tea.
Mrs. Zhou is an elder, Jinghu and Li Yi both bowed, and soon Qingrou also walked out of the side room and stood aside respectfully.
Qingrou is the daughter of the princess, but she doesn't seem to be very close to her grandmother, Mrs. Zhou, and every time she talks about her in private, she only respects.
After the salute, Mrs. Zhou opened her mouth first, "Today, the little county lord and Sister Yi are guests in Xihe Garden, I don't know if there is any inconsiderate hospitality by the subordinates?" ”
It's just a kind word, Jinghu also politely replied, "Sister Yi and I have been resting in the Yunjian Building, and I don't feel anything bad, thank you Mrs. Tai for your care." ”
Li Yi just nodded.
On the contrary, it was the princess of the county who took the lead, "Jingling, when you go out as a guest, you must look like a guest, and the Dingguo Mansion is also a place where you can be majestic at will?" ”
She wished that Jinghu was unlucky, in the past, she was in the palace of Yongning County, and no one would help her, but now it is different, the Dingguo Mansion is her maiden home, and she can bully others.
Mrs. Shi said, "Why is the princess so anxious to ask about the crime? Now it's just the words of Sister Mu of the Xu family and her maid, is it just based on their rhetoric that you are going to condemn your own daughter? ”
Li Yi is right, Mrs. Shi is the most protective of her shortcomings. And because of the hardships in his early years, he has a bit of a disregarding temperament.
Don't say that they didn't do anything big today at all, even if they asked Xu Murou to kneel, it only took a moment to call the maid to let her get up, and no one else saw it around.
Even if they really did something, she would find a way to keep Li Yi.
The relationship between the British Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion did not seem to be very good, and Mrs. Wang, who was sitting on the side watching the play, said: "After all, I am still younger, so I am so impatient." "This is the princess of the county.
"You have to ask the county lord and Sister Yi of the Li family before you can decide what to do, right?"
Mrs. Zhou put down the teacup and said gently: "I'm afraid the two sisters don't know yet, just now our family's Liuniang threw water." ”
"I was rescued and asked the reason, but it was said that the little county lord had wronged her with her title, and she couldn't think about it for a while after being humiliated, but there was such a thing?"
It stands to reason that her granddaughter was bullied and hated to commit suicide, she should be a little annoyed, but at this time, Mrs. Zhou looked very cold when she talked about this, and seemed to be a little impatient.
Before Jinghu could answer, Mrs. Wang smiled first, "It's just a little girl's family playing, she is still a few years old as the county lord of the Wang family in Yongning County, and her temperament is so big, she doesn't look like a daughter taught in the Dingguo Mansion." ”
There are many daughters in the Dingguo Mansion, and there are all kinds of things. Jinghu slandered in his heart.
The princess of Yongning County sneered: "What Mrs. Wang said is light, what is 'playing'?" Can you force people to kneel when you play around? Although Sister Mu is a concubine, she is also a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, how can she be humiliated like this? ”
"Jingling is my daughter, Sister Mu is also my niece, today I want to teach my daughter, so I won't bother Mrs. Wang."
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou glanced at her, with a warning in her eyes.
It's really a farce, even if she Xu Murou is her niece, can she still kiss her daughter? Anyone can see that she wants to declare a personal vendetta.
The more urgent she is, the more ruthless she is pressed by Concubine Xu in the mansion, and in the end, she doesn't know whose face she lost.
didn't wait for everyone to ask again, Jing Hu said first: "I don't know what Miss Xu Liu said in the original words, whether there will be exaggeration in this, so the mother concubine is in a hurry to convict me." ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded at Qingrou.
Qingrou got permission, took a deep breath, and glanced at Jinghu with some concern, "Sixth Sister Fang Cai said that today she met the little county lord and Sister Yi in the bamboo forest of Yunjian Building. ”
"They were talking, and she couldn't be disturbed, let alone eavesdropping, so she wanted to go away. Who knew that there was a noise, and it was discovered by the little county lord and Sister Yi'er, so they slandered her for deliberately eavesdropping, punished her for kneeling in the bamboo forest, and was not allowed to get up without kneeling for an hour. ”
"Sister Yi'er...... Sister Yi even punched and kicked her, and she was injured, so she couldn't think about it. ”
It's really a blue sky and a white day, a slander with red mouth and white teeth.
Jinghu was not in a hurry to defend himself, and asked Qingrou, "Then what happened to Miss Xu Liu's throwing into the water?" ”
Qingrou said: "After the sixth sister knelt, she really felt humiliated, and she happened to walk to the edge of Jinghu Lake, and her brain was confused for a while, so she jumped out of the lake. Fortunately, a servant woman passed by and rescued her. ”
"Oh." Jinghu deliberately dragged out the last note, "So that's the case." ”
Full of lies.
The princess of the county said: "The scars on Sister Mu'er's body can't be faked, so far, what else do you have to say about Jingling?" The prince of the county spoils you too much, and as a guest at a relative's house, you can actually do such a thing to your cousin, and you don't kneel. ”
She didn't know that Xu Murou could be regarded as her cousin. usually never treats her as a daughter, but at this time she came to show off her mother's majesty.
Of course, Jinghu didn't kneel, she just glanced at the princess of the county indifferently, "Mother, fake things can't be real." ”
It's useless to reason with her, she just needs to make it clear with Mrs. Zhou.
"Mrs. Tai, as a junior, I shouldn't have said this, but the sixth lady of your mansion is really full of lies. If I don't defend myself, I'm afraid I'll go to the lake unjustly. ”
Mrs. Zhou nodded, "I want to hear what you and Sister Yi have to say." Although Mu Niang is my granddaughter, I will not blindly favor her, you just say yours. ”
Jinghu glanced at Li Yi and began to speak, "First, I came here with my aunt and cousin today, because I came late, Sister Yi also had a trouble with me for a while, and Sister Qing and all the distinguished guests in the Yunjian Building can testify for me." ”
"At this moment, I'm afraid it's less than an hour before I enter Xihe Garden."
Qingrou nodded, "Grandmother, today's little county lord is about to enter the garden. ”
It was nearly noon. Xu Murou said that she got up to go to the lake after kneeling, and this flaw was too big, even if she threw herself into the water, she was confused in her head.
