Chapter 20: A Sudden Turn
"Grandmother, Li'er is fine." Xie Li stood up and replied respectfully, "It's just that Grandmother's big coat, Li Er doesn't dare to wear it anymore, please take it back from Grandmother." ”
As soon as Xie Li's words fell, Xiao Yue stood up suddenly, "Xie Li, what do you mean?" ”
Xiao Yue, who was already reluctant, was provoked by this, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked at Xie Li angrily.
"You slapped me twice, why should I apologize to you? Why...... Woo woo woo...... "Xiao Yue may have been made of water, and tears came as soon as they were said, without any friction."
On the other side, Xie Li only looked at Xiao Yue, who was crying in dismay, and hesitated: "...... the county lord of Anping"
"You don't call me, I don't want you to call me!" I don't know how much the county lord of Anping has been wronged, she cried endlessly, the warm and salty tears flowed to her cheeks, and the red and swollen face was even more painful, and she cried even more regardless of it.
"I apologize, can't I apologize?"
"Woo woo woo ......"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it first, I deserved to be beaten, and I have to apologize to Xie Li......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Why......"
The hall was quiet, only Xiao Yue's cries continued to sound.
Come to think of it, His Royal Highness the noble county lord has never suffered such inexplicable grievances and humiliations since he was born.
Obviously, in the palace of King Chen a moment ago, his father, mother, concubine and brother were still sparing no effort to comfort themselves, saying that they wanted to avenge themselves; The next moment, in this Pingnanhou Mansion, he was humiliated by Xie Li.
What's going on?
Looking at Xiao Yue, who was crying bitterly, Xie Li roughly guessed.
For His Royal Highness King Chen, his daughter's small self-esteem is nothing, and the help of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is the real money.
"County Lord, don't cry, I'll apologize to you, okay?" Xie Li is a little soft-hearted, she is still a little girl, and she hasn't experienced anything, so why involve her?
"I'm sorry, it's my fault today, I shouldn't have hit you, I'm sorry."
Xie Li stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Yue's hand, and looked at Xiao Yue gently, with sincerity.
Xiao Yue, who was crying loudly, suddenly looked like a duck pinched by the neck, and the broken cry choked in his throat, neither up nor down, looking at Xie Li with a gentle face with teary eyes.
"You...... I ......"
"It's my fault, I won't do it next time." Xie Li sighed, as if comforting his little sister, and touched Xiao Yue's head, Xiao Yue was even more like a ghost, so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
"Miss Xie doesn't care, sister, don't cry." Xiao Jing, who was pale, finally suppressed the anger surging in his heart, and also took two steps forward, broke Xiao Yue's shoulder, looked directly into Xiao Yue's eyes, and coaxed softly.
"Brother!" Xiao Yue suddenly threw herself into Xiao Jing's arms and sniffed a few times.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yue's urn voice sounded muffledly: "I'm sorry." ”
After speaking, she pulled Xiao Jing's sleeve and hid behind him.
"Let the old lady and the Hou Ye laugh, the sister is stubborn and has caused trouble for Miss Xie."
Xie Li nodded coldly and did not speak.
In this world, he obviously made his own mistakes, but he didn't say a word, so that a little girl gave up face and ended this farce.
Scold!
"So I won't stay any longer." Xiao Jing saw Xie Li's indifferent attitude, and a little resentment suddenly rose in his heart, so he arched his hand at the old lady Lu and the others, and walked out with Xiao Yue.
"Linlang, send the prince and the county lord for me."
"Yes, old lady."
finally sent these two "nobles" away, and Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
God knows what they felt when they saw these two people......
And Xie Houye and Xie Ergongzi, who just came to go through the motions, couldn't cry or laugh.
"Mother, it's okay, my son will go back first?" Xie Hui scratched his head and asked.
"Go, you all go back, big girl stay."
After everyone was gone, Xie Li slowly stood up, and then knelt down in a proper manner.
"Grandmother, granddaughter almost caused a big disaster, and asked grandmother to punish her."
"Why should I punish you?" Old Madam Lu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked in a cold voice.
"The granddaughter is against the royal family in order to understand the momentary anger."
Old Madam Lu sneered, "I don't think you're relieving your momentary anger." ”
Xie Li knelt on the ground and did not say a word.
"Why did you bring that big in, why did you sit opposite the county lord of Anping, why did you say something like that, do you really not know it?" Mrs. Lu raised her hand and flicked it, and the teacup fell heavily to the ground.
"Big girl, just by virtue of your actions, I can ask for family law and beat you so that you can't get out of bed." Old Madam Lu took a few heavy breaths, and then continued: "I became the governor of you, and I was reasonable, but I didn't expect you to dare to act so boldly."
At the beginning, you were angry to please other people's families, and now you are going to trample them under your feet?
That's a noble world, not just what you want! ”
Old Madam Lu couldn't wait to knock on Xie Li's head to see what was in this little head.
"Can't you?" Under this rage, a cold question suddenly sounded, and Xie Li raised his head and looked directly at Old Madam Lu.
"Grandmother, can't you?"
Old Madam Lu was stunned by this rebellious question, and opened her mouth: "What did you say?" ”
"I said, 'Is there anything you can't do?'
Doesn't King Chen just want to rebel?
Won't our Pingnanhou Mansion have to be pushed out to block the knife sooner or later?
Taking the initiative to attack like this and tearing the skin of the face is better than being secretly stabbed with a cold knife, right? ”
After a stack of questions, Mrs. Lu was stunned on the spot, "You...... Big girl, what are you talking about! ”
Xie Li looked at Old Madam Lu, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Grandmother, haven't you discussed it with your father?" ”
Old Madam Lu was silent for a long time, and slowly stood up, "You...... What exactly are you trying to say? ”
"Grandmother, you see, tonight, the prince of King Chen and the lord of Anping came to the door, which shows their attitude. They want to win us over Pingnanhou Mansion!
How to win it over? I think it's a marriage, it's not me, it's the second brother. If your father compromises, grandmother, will you give up your second brother? ”
Xie Li didn't give Mrs. Lu time to speak, and then added: "It's reluctant to think about it, then it's just me." ”
"Haven't you always admired the prince of Chen?" Old Madam Lu was puzzled, "You don't want to." ”
Xie Li bowed down for a long time, "Grandmother, my granddaughter was ignorant before, she caused a lot of trouble and lost a lot of face. Now, the granddaughter has figured it out, the twisted melon is not sweet, even if the prince of King Chen marries his granddaughter, it is just a pair of resentful couples. ”
"So, the granddaughter doesn't want to."
