Chapter 62: Counterattack
In the garden of the Hou Mansion, the gazebo was full of all kinds of snacks, and the eldest lady and Mrs. Shangshu were sitting around the marble table, chatting happily about family life.
"Mu He, this dead child," Mrs. Shangshu leaned over and looked down at the road, with an unconcealed apology on her face, "Where did you go......
The eldest lady smiled, she could feel the mother's concern for her children, and just comforted: "Mu He is very clever, besides, there are people watching everywhere in the Hou Mansion, maybe he is greedy for fun, and he went to find his child?" β
When Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she was even more uneasy, Shi Qingqian was now a celebrity in the capital, she was only afraid that her son would collide with her, and she looked at the eldest lady with some uneasiness in her eyes, "What kind of words is this......
"Children, it's natural to love to play." The Grand Lady chuckled.
Shi Peng came early, and was sitting in the corner drinking tea at the moment. Because she is also the young lady of the main house, the doctor allowed her to sit here, even if she didn't want to see this person who repeatedly hurt her daughter, but in front of outsiders, it was difficult to refuse directly.
Shi Peng actually came to see the play, she scrapped the set that took so long to finish, when she thought of Shi Qingqian's festering, itchy and painful appearance, she was happy, she definitely couldn't miss such a scene. Because of this, she swallowed her anger and begged the eldest lady to let her come and have tea together.
"Mother!" The immature voice came from outside the pavilion, and Shi Qingqian and Mu He ran in one after another, and threw themselves into their mother's arms.
Shi Peng was stunned for a moment, she found that Shi Qingqian was not wearing a cloak, her heart tightened, and she unconsciously bit her lower lip.
Was she lucky, or was she noticed?
No!
The eldest lady also saw Shi Qingqian running over without even approving the cloak, and the cold touch of those little hands reached the bottom of her heart, and she hurriedly wrapped her in her own cloak, "Where is the cloak?" How did you run out like this? β
"Oh, cloak, at Xue Ying's." Shi Qingqian waved his little meat hand, and Xue Ying, who received the signal, walked over with a tray, and the cloak was neatly folded and displayed inside.
Seeing this, the eldest lady scolded distressedly: "Silly girl, why did you bring out the cloak without wearing it?" β
"The cloak is so beautiful, you can't bear to wear it......" Shi Qingqian sat in the arms of the eldest lady and rubbed her with an aggrieved face.
Of course she couldn't wear it, but this cloak was specially reserved for her dear fourth sister.
The cloak was originally wide, and even if it was given to Shi Peng, it could be worn.
Shi Qingqian glanced at Shi Peng, who was sitting on the side, "Besides, isn't the fourth sister also undressed......"
Shi Peng almost thought that he had seen it wrong, and at that moment, Shi Qingqian's eyes were very different from the past...... With a little provocation, even ...... Still with murderous intent? She was so shocked that she didn't even hold the teacup, only heard a 'pop', the teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed on the hem of her clothes.
"Ah, the fourth sister must be so cold that she can't even hold the teacup." Under the reproachful eyes of the eldest lady, Shi Qingqian pretended to be surprised and said, "Xue Ying! Go and put my cloak on the fourth sister! β
"No, no need for the Seventh Sister......" Shi Peng hurriedly shirked, and the refusal was written on his face, "This is the Seventh Sister's clothes, how can I ......"
The eldest lady on the side obviously looked incredulous, Shi Peng repeatedly cheated Shi Qingqian, why was she still so naΓ―ve?
Shi Qing pouted, as if water was about to flow from his eyes, "How can the fourth sister say that...... Isn't that a strange way to say that our relationship is unfamiliar...... Or is it that the fourth sister dislikes her sister's clothes. β
The clothes specially made for the concubine, the concubine was not worthy of wearing in the first place, but the eldest lady was obedient to Shi Qingqian, and in front of Mrs. Shangshu and Mu He, the eldest lady couldn't help her. Seeing Shi Peng's uncertain eyes and flickering words, the eldest lady's disgust filled her heart.
The concubine is willing to borrow you to dress, and you are not grateful to take it, but you dodge it so much, don't you really look down on the concubine's clothes?
Thinking about it, the eldest lady said impatiently: "Xue Ying, go and put on the robe of the fourth sister." β
couldn't help but Shi Peng refused, Xue Ying approached Shi Peng with a wicked smile, "Hey, hey...... Fourth Miss, the slave maid dressed you? β
"Me!" Shi Peng just wanted to push her away, but he caught a glimpse of the impatient eldest lady.
The needle was just coated with oleander liquid, Shi Peng thought to himself that he would not be allergic to this kind of thing anyway, Zuo was just uncomfortable for a moment, if he didn't wear it, not only would it make the eldest lady unhappy, but the lady Shangshu who was present would also see her jokes!
"Fourth sister, put it on quickly~" Shi Qingqian said suddenly, although there was a harmless smile on his face, but the look in his eyes was ...... It's clear what you're looking forward to!
She got it...... She must have known to come to see her make a fool of herself!
Almost instantly, Shi Peng firmly established this idea in his heart.
She bit her lower lip fiercely, and the hatred in her heart did not come from the fear of the oleander, but from the hatred that this time it had given Shi Qingqian the upper hand.
Why can she Shi Qingqian easily resolve anything no matter what!
It wasn't until there was a fishy smell in his mouth that Shi Peng realized that he had bitten out blood. And Xue Ying had already approved the cloak for herself, and she felt that she had deliberately tied the tie on her neckline firmly, and the stinging sensation of the silver needle had already come.
Shi Peng endured the pain and made a big salute, "Thank you, thank you for the clothes of the seventh sister......"
Shi Qingqian looked at Xue Ying, who was holding back his laughter on the side, and he also forced himself to laugh, and pinched his thigh with his hand before he could barely press it down, "Why is the fourth sister's face so ugly?" Isn't there something uncomfortable......"
Shi Peng stood up with his neck stalked, and the smile on his face was much uglier than crying, "Xu just hurt Feng...... I also want to thank my sister for the robe, but I am really unwell at the moment...... I can't be an accompaniment, and I hope that the eldest lady will atone for her sins......"
The eldest lady was upset when she heard this, but fortunately waved her hand and drove her down with a look of annoyance. "Xue Ying, go and bring my robe to the young lady, and give the clothes to the fourth sister, who is still frozen."
Xue Ying couldn't wait to go down quickly, so that she could laugh out loud for a while, Shi Peng's aggrieved face was enough for her to be a few days younger, "Yes, the slave will go!" So saying, he hurriedly ran out, hid around the corner and laughed loudly.
This woman has made a few trips to Xiaolian's thatched house, and when she goes back, she has to tell Xiaolian about Shi Peng's appearance!
As soon as she left the Houfu Garden, Shi Peng hatefully ripped off the tie around her neck, and the entire cloak was thrown to the ground by her in anger, focusing all her strength on her feet, hating to trample it into mud and burn it again!
"Zhuqing!" Shi Peng propped up the wall with one hand, and the toxicity of the oleander had already begun to attack, making her dazzled and headache, and the feeling of dizziness hit her irresistibly, "Go and hand over Shi Jianing to me!" β
