Chapter 61: Don't blame me for being rude
"The little girl doesn't dare." Xia Qingtong owes herself: "The princess is glorious." The little girl did go with your maid to change her clothes, but the problem was that when I came out of the garden, my clothes were torn by a tree branch. At that time, I was embarrassed to trouble the princess again, so I had to follow my maid Hongying out of the palace and go to the carriage of our Hou Mansion to change clothes. ”
"If the princess doesn't believe me, she can ask someone to go to the concierge and ask about it. The porter in the house is your own after all, and you shouldn't lie. ”
When she spoke, her tone was not slow or fast, and her tone was moderate, with her still childish face. It is reasonable and well-founded, and it is completely impossible to find fault with it.
The ladies present were all human spirits, although they all saw that something was wrong. But looking at Xia Qingtong's appearance, they have a good impression.
Xia Yurou stood behind Wei, she originally wanted to see Sister Yan's jokes. But looking at it now, she suddenly felt a little panicked.
She felt the gaze of those ladies looking at her sister-in-law, and the appreciation and admiration in her eyes were so obvious.
Xia Yurou's hand in her sleeve was almost twisted, and she tried her best to control it, so that she didn't let herself lose her temper.
On the other side, the atmosphere in the water pavilion is still solemn. Some people have already begun to persuade Princess Pei.
"Maybe there's some misunderstanding."
It was the wife of the former family of Shen Chengqian, the household servant, who spoke, and she glanced at Xia Qingtong, and there was a flash of appreciation in her eyes: "Since Miss Xia said so, then the princess asked the concierge to come over and ask, don't you know?" ”
Princess Pei's face was not good-looking, but there were so many ladies and daughters here looking at her, so she had to ask people to find the concierge.
The porter soon came, and Princess Pei took the preemptive action: "You say, you are guarding the gate of the palace, how can you let people in and out at will?" ”
"Princess Qiyu, the villain doesn't dare."
"Don't dare? Then why is it that there is a good banquet today, and you don't know that someone is going out from here? ”
"The princess was wronged. I naturally know that after the banquet in the house today, only the girl of the Xia family went out, and she said that her clothes were torn and she wanted to go to the carriage to change. After about a quarter of an hour, I came in again. ”
"Then you should tell me, which Xia girl is it?"
Princess Pei's tone was already very unkind, and the concierge looked up, but he looked in the direction of Xia Qingtong at a glance.
"Princess, it was this Xia girl who went out to get the clothes before, and the maid next to her was with her."
The porter's words have been made clear. Even Princess Pei couldn't find fault with it.
From Bibo Temple to the main gate, it takes two quarters of an hour to go back and forth, plus the time to change clothes. Xia Qingtong is indeed not suspicious.
But Princess Pei really couldn't swallow this breath.
"Who else was passing by?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't say anything. After all, who would dare to admit this?
Gao, the wife of Dali Temple, suddenly spoke: "The princess doesn't have to be anxious, just now the imperial doctor also said that Pei Shizi's injury is not serious, and Xu will wake up after a while." When Shizi wakes up, he will naturally know who injured Shizi. ”
Everyone doesn't say it, but they actually think so in their hearts.
What's the use of you asking people everywhere now? Those who don't do it won't admit it. Those who do it will not be able to escape when the time comes.
Princess Pei knew that what Gao said was right. But my heart is really blocked.
In fact, she already had a hunch in her heart that eighty percent was Pei You's favorite girl. I wanted to act recklessly, but I was beaten by the other party.
knew in his heart that Pei You might be moral, but emotionally he was more inclined to his nephew.
What's more, the person was injured in the palace, and she couldn't explain it to the Guogong Mansion.
If something like this happened in the palace, the banquet naturally couldn't go on.
The guests said goodbye with great eyes. Wei naturally left with the three girls. It was easier for others to go, but when she arrived at Xia Qingtong, Princess Pei stopped her again.
"Miss Xia San, I know it wasn't you who injured Pei You. But since you appeared in Bibo Temple at that time, you are naturally suspicious. If you wake up after that, say that he has seen you, or that there is something else you haven't made clear. Do you know what's at stake? ”
