♂? ，，

Mama Wang was still going to fight, and Gu Xiaoye on the side hurriedly spoke: "Mother, please be merciful to your subordinates, Qiulan is a maid that my sister has to use, in case it is broken, where can Tong'er find another one for a while?" What's more, this is Huguo Temple, the Buddha said that it is not easy to kill, and please let her mother spare her! ”

"That's it." When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she immediately drank away from Mama Wang. Only then did he sneer at Qiu Lan and said, "This girl is really full of lies!" Just now, no one here said that it was the second miss who pushed it, but as soon as it came up, it was said that the second miss slandered! But you know, Xi'er didn't say anything at all just now! ”

When Qiulan heard this, her face suddenly turned white.

"Say it! What the hell is going on? Mrs. Kazuba asked angrily.

Qiulan got up from the ground, she didn't dare to cry out for injustice, and replied with sobs: "Back to Mrs., the slave and maid don't know what's going on, the eldest lady and the eldest young master asked the slave and maid to pull the second lady up." The slave maid went, and she tried her best to pull it, but for some reason, the second lady suddenly pushed the slave's hand away......"

This statement is in line with what Gu Yuetong said just now, and Mrs. Jinye Hou stood there with a frown, without saying a word.

Qiulan carefully observed everyone's expressions, and continued to cry: "After the second miss fell into the water, the slave maid also wanted to jump into the water to save people, but the slave and maid couldn't swim in the water, and if they went down, they would die, so the slave and maid thought about going back and calling someone to save the second miss, but His Royal Highness King Jing appeared, and he rescued the second miss who sank to the bottom of the lake. ”

"Xiao'er. Isn't that it? When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she immediately turned her head to Gu Xiaoye and asked.

"Yes, mother." Gu Xiaoye nodded and said: "At that time, Tong'er and I couldn't swim in the water, watching my little sister sink in the water by the lake, I was so anxious, just when I didn't know what to do, His Royal Highness King Jing suddenly appeared, and he didn't say anything." jumped into the water and rescued the little sister from the water. Later, my sister fainted, he personally pressed my little sister's chest, I asked Qiulan to help and was also drunk, after that, he held my little sister all the way back in a hurry, and we couldn't catch up. ”

In a few words, he explained the whole thing clearly.

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she first breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned: "It stands to reason that His Royal Highness King Jing saved our family Xi'er, and we should thank him for saving his life, but Xi'er's reputation has also been ruined because of this, and if I don't marry him in this life, I can only cut my hair and become a sister-in-law, from this point of view." But it was he who ruined the stream. ”

"That's what my mother said." Gu Xiaoye said: "My son has always been worried about this, when King Jing rescued his sister from the lake, my son wanted to take my sister over, but unfortunately, King Jing has always refused to let people approach." ”

"Alas. It's all unjust! Lady Kashiba Hou let out a long sigh when she heard this. She waved her hand and asked Qiulan to be escorted down, and she was locked up for the past few days

In the room, Gu Xiaoye wanted to ask for mercy. But Mrs. Jinye Hou directly refused: "Anyway, my sister fell into the water because of her, and she must be punished!" No more intercession! A dignified young lady of the Jinye Houfu, can't she even leave a maid? ”

When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he was silent for a while, and only after a long time did he say lightly: "Mother said yes." ”

He didn't look at Qiulan again, and let her be pulled down by her mother-in-law without pity.

When Qiulan was leaving, she glanced at Gu Xiaoye expectantly, but she didn't say anything.

When everyone started to discuss, Gu Ruoxi was silent. Mrs. Jinye Hou also remembered her after a long time, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Gu Ruoxi had fallen asleep on the pillow without knowing when. The face is still white, and the tilted head makes people look distressed.

"Let's all get out! Let her rest well. Today, I'm really tired. Mrs. Kazuba said slowly. Immediately after, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately sighed: "There have been several times before that I should have come up the mountain, but every time Xi'er is very reluctant to come here, it seems that she has long expected what will happen here, think about it carefully, from the beginning of our uphill, it was a halfway startle, and it was a quarrel with Mrs. Xu, and now there is a Tong'er Xi'er falling into the water, I knew that the prayer would be like this, so we won't go up the mountain!" ”

Gu Yuetong nodded immediately after hearing this: "What my mother said is that what has happened in the past few days is so terrible, and my daughter will not come to Huguo Temple in the future!" The dense pimples on Gu Ruoxi's arms were really terrifying enough, and they really made Gu Yuetong's heart palpitate, she knew clearly in her heart that if Gu Ruoxi hadn't jumped down to save her, I am afraid that these pimples would have grown on her body now.

No, or maybe she's dead now.

It's all Xu Ziyan's fault! She's never going to let her get better! Thinking of this, Gu Yuetong's eyes suddenly swelled with resentment.

But at this time, Gu Xiaoye's eyes on the side flashed.

Mrs. Jinye Hou drove the two brothers and sisters back to sleep by themselves, while she stayed behind to take care of Gu Ruoxi, but she had just sat down on the bedside chair when she heard the exclamation of Jinse outside: "His Royal Highness King Jing!" Why are you here again? ”

Mrs. Jinye Hou was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to greet her, but saw Xuanyuan Jingxi at the door carrying several large bags of medicine in his hand and handing them to Jinse, and when he saw Mrs. Jinan, he just nodded, and then turned to leave.

The dignified King Jing, I don't know how many errands are running under my hands! If you send a medicine, you have to come in person...... What a strange man!

Mrs. Jinye Hou was speechless for a while, took the packets of medicine from Jinse's hand and looked at them, and then handed them to Mama Wang beside her and said, "Work hard, go and decoct the medicine yourself." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mama Wang responded, immediately reached out and took the medicine bag and retreated.

Mrs. Jinye Hou turned her head and instructed Jinse, "Go to the inner room."

Wait for the brook! ”

Jin Se hurriedly answered and bowed his head and went into the back room.

Mrs. Kashiba glanced at her, but did not leave, turned and sat down in a chair. The expression on his face was very solemn.

What happened today was so sudden that Mrs. Kashiba really didn't know how to open her mouth to her husband when she went back.

Originally, it was just a few children's play, who knew that such a thing could happen?

Falling into the water, saving people, King Jing...... How did all this happen? Obviously no one calculates anything, but now she is in this dilemma, how can she do it in order to protect her daughter to the greatest extent?

and that Xu Ziyan, Tong'er's language was a little too radical, but she dared to push Tong'er into the water! In this matter, Shangshu Mansion must give an explanation!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Kashiba Hou's previous worries disappeared, and her anger gradually grew.

Time passed slowly, and the leak deepened, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was a commotion outside, and I heard it clearly through the thin window in the room.

"Who's out there?" Mrs. Jinye Hou stood up suddenly, she walked a few steps outside, and saw a mother-in-law walk in from outside the door, bent down and said, "Madam, Mrs. Xu is here." ”

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!

Mrs. Kazuba Hou suddenly sneered and said, "Invite her in!" ”

"Yes! Madam! The mother-in-law saw that the always gentle housewife showed such an expression, and she was secretly shocked for a moment, and she hurriedly agreed, and quickly retreated.

Mrs. Kazuba Hou straightened her clothes and sat down in the position she had just placed just now, with no intention of greeting Mrs. Xu at all.

A maid came in with a brewed tea, but she waved it back: "Take it down!" Such a person is not worthy of this tea hospitality. ”

"Yes, ma'am." The little maid answered and withdrew.

After a while, there was a noise at the door, and Mrs. Xu slowly walked in from the door.

"Mrs. Jinye Hou, this is really sorry, our Yan'er actually did such a thing by mistake, when I knew it, I almost didn't scold her to death......" Mrs. Xu put on a look of remorse as soon as she entered the door, but she was interrupted by Mrs. Jinye Hou halfway through her words. He chattered every number.

"Then why don't you just scold her to death? Is it okay to scold or beat to death? Mrs. Jinye Hou said lightly: "Our family Xi'er is now lying half-dead on the bed, life and death are uncertain.

What's the use of running around and saying these cool words? ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, her face suddenly froze, she knew that her daughter had caused trouble, she came here, Mrs. Jinye Hou would never give her a good look, but she never expected that Mrs. Jinye Hou, who had always been gentle and generous, would say something to kill her daughter.

Mrs. Xu also felt a little unhappy in her heart, especially when Xu Ziyan went back, she threw herself into her arms, crying very sadly, saying that His Royal Highness King Jing ignored it

Instead, she jumped into the water to rescue Gu Ruoxi, and the two of them had a skin-to-skin relationship. Mrs. Xu couldn't say a word that shocked Mrs. Xu at that time.

You must know that the old man of her family was very selective, after many considerations, taking the interests of the Xu family first, and screening layer by layer, this only then did he select King Jing, the fast son-in-law of the dragon, but before Xu Shangshu could pull Prime Minister Zhang off the horse, he killed the dark horse of Gu Ruoxi.

Mrs. Xu was indifferent to the life and death of the sisters of the Gu family, and there was only one reason why she could come so hard in the middle of the night, that is, to explore Mrs. Jinye Hou's old background to see if she also had the intention of marrying her youngest daughter to King Jing.

If there is, then the two families will have to fight!

"Madam, in short, no, no, this thing has already happened. I've come to apologize in a good voice. Mrs. Xu hid her thoughts and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Jia Xi'er was rescued by His Royal Highness King Jing, which is also her blessing." ”

"I can't afford this blessing!" Mrs. Jinye Hou's face changed suddenly, she glanced at Mrs. Xu coldly and said, "Why don't you give it to your Yan'er?" ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, the smile on her face almost couldn't hold back.

She wanted to marry their Yan'er to King Jing, but it was also a lively and lively wedding, not a bad reputation like Gu Ruoxi, who had no way to marry.

A woman with a bad reputation, if King Jing doesn't want it, then there is only one way to die.

Although the matter of falling into the water has not yet reached the capital, it is in the eyes of Mrs. Xu. Gu Ruoxi has no reputation. It's almost like a dead man.

The queen mother will never allow a woman from the Gu family to marry her favorite youngest son, because there is already a Gu Yuetong in the palace as the crown princess. How could the two most noble princes of the dynasty marry the daughters of the family?

Therefore, Mrs. Xu was not worried at all.

What she was worried about was just Mrs. Jinyehou's unwillingness.

But in front of Mrs. Jinye Hou, she couldn't expose this idea in her heart, she smiled on her face, and said, "Look at what you said, our family Yan'er just wants this blessing." That's going to have to be the life! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Jinye Hou couldn't help but look up at her, and said lightly: "Indeed, don't be delusional if you don't have that life." ”

The smile on Mrs. Xu's face froze again.

When she reacted and wanted to refute, Mrs. Jinye Hou picked up the teacup impatiently and said, "Mrs. Xu, the night is dark, let's talk about something tomorrow, don't disturb our family's rest!" ”

This is to send off guests, Mrs. Xu's face is cold, she hasn't asked anything!

But how can she rely on her dignified Mrs. Shangshu here.

Mrs. Xu stood up very reluctantly and said to Mrs. Jinye Hou: "Okay, let's discuss it tomorrow!" ”

"Then trouble Mrs. Xu will bring Jia Ziyan tomorrow, after all, it was her who personally pushed my family Tong'er into the water, she is the culprit of all this, shouldn't she apologize to us in person?" Mrs. Kazuba Hou said unhurriedly.

When Mrs. Xu came here tonight, what she was most afraid of was that Mrs. Jinye Hou asked this sentence. So as soon as she came, she took the preemptive action, but she didn't expect that she was leaving, Mrs. Xu still said this, she couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment on her face, but quickly explained: "Madam, I came to apologize in person, isn't it okay?" Besides, today's incident, my Yan'er is also scared enough. I haven't recovered yet! ”

When Mrs. Jinye Hou heard this, she really couldn't wait to pull Mrs. Xu into the back room to see the frightening pimples on Gu Ruoxi's hands and arms, so that she could know who was the most seriously injured! However, she couldn't help it, she couldn't let Mrs. Xu know about it, if she spread it out and everyone knew about it, then it would be bad for her family.

"Mrs. Xu, there is a limit to my patience, saying that Jia Yan'er is scared enough, but my family Xi'er is still lying in bed!" Mrs. Jinye Hou endured and endured, and then said impatiently: "Ask your family Yan'er to apologize to my two daughters, this is already the most tolerant, if you don't agree." Then my Jinye Houfu will do everything I have, and I will make my family Ziyan pay the price! ”

This was said mercilessly, and when Mrs. Xu heard it, her face suddenly turned green.

"It's late, Mrs. Xu, please go back!" After saying what she wanted to say in her heart, Mrs. Jinye Hou didn't look at Mrs. Xu anymore, only coldly threw down this sentence, turned around and went into the inner room.

Mrs. Xu stood there in embarrassment for a moment, then gritted her teeth and withdrew.

On the way back, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "People whose reputations are ruined, why should we let our family Yan'er apologize to her?" There are no doors! ”

"But madam, it is indeed the Miss Gu family who was pushed by our young lady who fell into the lake......" The little maid on the side just said halfway, and she was slapped hard in the face: "Eat things inside and outside!" Which eye saw our Yan'er pushing their girl into the water? ”

The little maid was beaten, and immediately covered her face and stood aside and closed her mouth, never daring to say another word.

"What a bitch!" Mrs. Xu cursed fiercely again, and then turned around and continued to go back to the guest house where she lived.

The little maid was beaten, retreated far away, and never dared to get closer to her master.

However, Mrs. Xu remembered a lot through this sentence, the reputation of the second lady of the Gu family is gone, but the reputation of their Ziyan family is probably not much better, a woman who dares to push others into the water must be corrupted. How could the queen mother be such a picky woman abandon Prime Minister Zhang's granddaughter and choose their Ziyan?

In this matter, it seems that the Xu family did not suffer, but in fact, Xu Ziyan's life was ruined. At least Xu

Madame's own plan fell through.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu suddenly became nervous, she didn't want such a situation!

Then, you can only make a fuss about falling overboard. After thinking all the way, when she walked to the door of her own wing, Mrs. Xu finally figured it out.

"Yan'er?" Mrs. Xu pushed the door and entered, and saw that the candle flame on the crane-foot bronze lamp in the corner of the house was faint, but the room was empty.

There was a teapot and an empty teacup on the round table of Babao Pear Blossom placed in the center of the room, but Xu Ziyan, who was supposed to be sitting here and drinking tea, was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did Miss go?" Mrs. Xu immediately turned around and asked.

The few mothers-in-law and maids who followed all looked at each other, and under Mrs. Xu's stern gaze, everyone lowered their heads.

"I'll ask you where you've gone!" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but shout angrily.

The heads of the people hung even lower, almost to their chests.

Mrs. Xu smiled angrily: "I can't even ask a question, can I?" With that, she turned to the door and shouted, "Someone! Escort all these Diao slaves to me! ”

As soon as these words came out, someone in the maid pile finally couldn't resist and said: "Madam, it's the young lady who doesn't allow the slaves to tell you!" ”

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was taken aback, and hurriedly asked again, "Where did she go!" ”

The maid hesitated again, but the look of horror on her face grew more and more.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xu immediately said, "If you say it, I will spare you!" ”

When the maid heard this, she finally spoke: "Madam, you went to find Mrs. Jinye Hou on the front foot, and the young lady went out on the back foot, and she didn't even bring Sister Taozhi, saying that she must not let the second miss of the Gu family succeed, and when she left, she didn't tell the slaves where she went." ”
