Chapter 10 Protection
"What is it? Don't be afraid, just speak up, and someone will call the shots for you. Ning Jinxiu's expression was very excited, to be precise, she was about to move, as if she wanted to expose some major conspiracy and she herself would benefit greatly from it.
With the encouragement of her master, Cuihong's courage really increased, and she continued: "It turned out to be the second young grandmother and ...... Talking to a man. ”
Except for Huo Yujue and the old lady, everyone else widened their eyes in disbelief and opened their mouths wide.
"What? A man? Two young grandmothers are talking to a man? What kind of man? What are they talking about? Cui Hong, you confess honestly, not a word can be left behind! Ning Jinxiu's interest was even higher.
"Back to the eldest young grandmother, back to the old lady, the slave maid doesn't know who the man is, because he and the second young grandmother are talking in a low voice, and the slave and maid know that the second young grandmother is kneeling inside, so it is easy to hear the voice of the second young grandmother, but to the man...... The slave and maid could not tell, but the slave and maid could vaguely hear what they were talking about......"
Cui Hong kept glancing left and right with her eyes as she spoke, as if she wanted to say it but didn't dare to.
Ning Jinxiu continued to give her courage, "You boldly say it!" ”
"The second young grandmother and ...... The man, they ...... They first said that they wanted to eat when they were hungry, and then they said...... Just say...... said that he wanted to help the second young grandmother...... Help the second young grandmother...... Escape! ”
Speaking of this, Cui Hong's entire upper body fell to the ground, not daring to look up at people again.
"Ah...... How could this be...... "Everyone was in an uproar.
I saw Ning Jinxiu smile treacherously and snort coldly from her nose, for her, this is enough, this amount of information is big enough, eat when you kneel? Still planning to escape? Is it a private meeting with a man? Each of these is enough for her to receive family law from Wanqing several times!
Ning Jinxiu was not interested in who that man was, her goal was Xiang Wanqing, and her goal had been achieved!
She looked at the old lady and said impatiently: "Mom, you have heard what Cui Hong said, I can guarantee that what she said is true, what should you do about this matter?" ”
After speaking, she squinted at Xiang Wanqing a few more times, and the smugness in her eyes seemed to announce her victory to Xiang Wanqing and everyone.
At this time, Xiang Wanqing couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, this was the first time she was so anxious after entering the Huo family.
To say that she was not afraid or in a hurry when she served tea in the hall yesterday, it was because she had no ghost in her heart, because between her and the Huo family, it was the Huo family who owed her, not the Huo family.
But today is different, last night's incident, if she is really discovered, she is indeed speechless.
Xiang Wanqing bit her lip, her brows furrowed, and just as she was about to open her mouth to defend herself, another loud voice sounded: "Wait! ”
I saw Huo Yujue slowly stand up, face Ning Jinxiu and say calmly: "Sister-in-law, with all due respect, your judgment is biased. ”
The people present didn't seem to expect Huo Yujue to speak at this time, and they couldn't help but look at him.
I only heard Huo Yujue continue: "Let's think about it, whether Cuihong's words can stand up to scrutiny, I think it was late at night last night, and Cuihong also said that she was not feeling well, so is she awake?" Could it be that she was sleepy and confused, so she misheard? Or ......"
Huo Yujue looked at Ning Jinxiu: "It's just that the little maid deliberately made up lies and confused the public to arrange the second young grandmother in order to ask you for credit, isn't it?" Therefore, please also ask your sister-in-law to act cautiously and distinguish between right and wrong. ”
"Third young master, the slave doesn't dare to lie, the slave doesn't lie! What the slave said is true, and the slave and the maid will never dare to arrange the master! Cui Hong bowed and bowed to Huo Yujue, and kept complaining.
And in the next moment, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at Huo Yujue, her eyes showed disbelief and panic, and then her body shook suddenly, trembling for a moment, and then she fell to the ground and didn't dare to move anymore.
Ning Jinxiu immediately stood up and said to Huo Yujue:
"Yujue, what do you mean by that? What does it mean that the little maid asks me for credit? What does it mean to deliberately arrange the second young grandmother? What does it mean to distinguish between right and wrong? You mean that I deliberately targeted the second young grandmother and didn't know what was right or wrong? Third brother, you have wronged me too much! I have no grievances with the second young grandmother in the past, why should I target her? I'm just saying what I know.
"But I'm going to ask you, how many days have you been back? How much do you know about your family? So I advise you, you better leave this matter alone. ”
But seeing Huo Yujue meet Ning Jinxiu's arrogant gaze, he said in a firm tone: "Sister-in-law, it's not right for you to say this, it's been a few days since I came back, but it doesn't prevent me from being a member of this family, right?" And since I am the third young master of the dignified Huo family, there is something at home, I don't even have the right to express my opinions, right? ”
Yesterday in the hall, when Xiang Wanqing was harassed by Ning Jinxiu, Huo Yujue regretted that he didn't stand up to speak for her, and today, he won't sit idly by anymore.
He is a man, don't say that this incident is because of him, even if he has nothing to do with him, and when he encounters bullying and bullying, he should see injustice and draw a knife to help!
"You ......" Ning Jinxiu didn't know how to deal with Huo Yujue's words for a while, and the atmosphere in the restaurant froze for a moment, a little embarrassed.
At this moment, I only heard the old lady say: "Okay, okay, you two don't fight anymore, let me restore the truth to you." ”
The old lady also stood up, sighed, and said: "What about this matter, it is indeed Jinxiu's mistake, Yujue is right, this little maid is really confused at night, she heard it." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at the old lady again, the others were curious, and Xiang Wanqing and Huo Yujue were stunned at the same time, because neither of them expected that the old lady would stand up and speak for them at the critical moment.
And although Huo Yujue had been speaking righteously just now, he was actually nervous in his heart, and Xiang Wanqing was the same, only to see that beads of sweat had beads on their foreheads.
I only heard the old lady continue: "Last night, Cuihong heard movement in the ancestral hall and heard that the second young grandmother was talking to someone, which is indeed true, but the man talking to the second young grandmother is not someone else, but - Uncle Li. ”
Uncle Li, who was standing aside, nodded in response to the old lady.
"And it's not just Uncle Li, in fact, there was another person present at the time, and that was Mama Wu."
Wu's mother will also nod her head in acknowledgement.
The old lady continued to explain: "The second young grandmother is a newcomer, and the newcomer was punished for kneeling as soon as she passed the door, and she would inevitably complain in her heart, so I sent Uncle Li and Mother Wu to the ancestral hall to comfort her, and by the way, to see if she sincerely admitted her mistakes, and whether she devoted herself to making amends to the ancestors and Buddhas of our Huo family." And at that time, it was the conversation between them and the second young grandmother that was heard by Cuihong, which led to today's episode. ”
Ning Jinxiu looked incredulous, and retorted in a low voice: "But Cui Hong obviously heard ......."
The old lady then said, "Okay, as for what they said, Uncle Li and Mother Wu, you two will clarify." ”
"Yes, old lady." Uncle Li and Mother Wu answered at the same time.
"At that time, in the middle of the night, after the old slave and Wu's mother arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw the second young grandmother kneeling quietly in front of the ancestral tablet, without distractions, I discussed with Wu's mother that the second young grandmother was newly married, and I am afraid that she had not eaten seriously in the past two days, and she would be hungry if she continued like this, but the second young grandmother interrupted us and said that even if she was really hungry, she had to insist, saying that since she married into the Huo family, she must abide by the rules of the Huo family." Uncle Li said.
"That's right, later I said that the second young grandmother is delicate, and if she continues to kneel, she is afraid that she will break her knees and affect her walking in the future, so I proposed to come to the old lady with Uncle Li to ask for a favor to see if I can let the punishment end early, but the second young grandmother refused again, she said thank you for our kindness, but I hope we respect her sincerity to the ancestors of the Huo family and the Buddha." Wu Ma continued.
"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady, the second young grandmother is determined and sincere, and passed the newcomer test with a full score." Uncle Li gave up his hand and Mother Wu said to the old lady together.
And at this point, everyone also understood, and they all suddenly understood.
Someone whispered, "I see...... This is the test question for the new daughter-in-law of the family......"
Someone gave a thumbs up: "The third young grandmother is really good, it's really rare." ”
Everyone cast a look of approval and admiration at Xiang Wanqing, and no one looked at Ning Jinxiu again, as if she no longer existed.
The old lady smiled knowingly, showed a satisfied and relieved expression, and asked, "Okay, at this point, the truth of the matter is clear to everyone, does anyone still have anything to say?" ”
The subordinates look at me, I look at you, and then they all shook their heads.
No one from the masters said anything more, although Ning Jinxiu's lungs were about to explode, but she couldn't say a word.
"If not, it's all gone, really, on this hot day, you can't stop eating." The old lady walked out as she spoke, followed by Uncle Li and Mother Wu.
At this time, he saw that Huo Yujin, who had been eating without saying a word, suddenly raised his head and shouted at the old lady's back: "Mom, Mom, Yujin's fritters haven't finished yet, Yujin hasn't eaten yet......
A maid laughed quietly.
The old lady turned around and said dotingly: "Then take it to my room to eat." ”
Dongmei packed up a few fritters and a plate of small pickles and put them in the cage drawer, and walked out, Huo Yujin happily jumped and followed Dongmei out.
At this point, Ning Jinxiu's face was extremely embarrassed, and she was suffocated into a purple eggplant.
Aunt Mei felt a little embarrassed, Ning Jinxiu once again called for Xiang Wanqing with great fanfare, but once again it ended in a farce, the situation was a little embarrassing, and it was not easy for her to talk to her; And Xiang Wanqing is a newcomer, she is not familiar with her, and she doesn't know what to say to her.
Therefore, instead of being caught between the two people, it is better to leave early, thinking of this, she made a look, and her personal maid carried her out of the table.
