Chapter 25: The Truth
"I just went out at the banquet yesterday and saw something I shouldn't have seen." Qing Anzai sighed, knelt on the ground respectfully and spoke.
"What happened?" Old Madam Qing frowned, she looked at the few people present, and her face was a little unkind.
"So didn't the third sister finish the banquet yesterday? Don't you care about your grandmother's reception banquet, the third sister? Qing did not regret hearing Qing Anzai's words, so he took over the conversation.
Qing An's face was a little pale all of a sudden, is there still Qing who doesn't regret participating in this matter?
"Shut up and listen to what Ann is saying." Murong Shi looked at the old lady's increasingly bad face, and scolded him softly.
"Mother, but ......" Qing pouted without regret, she was dismissed by Murong Shi in front of everyone, and she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Murong Shi turned his head, took a quilt of tea from his subordinates, and handed it to Old Madam Qing.
"The third lady is getting bolder and bolder now, and she even ignores the old lady's reception banquet!" As soon as Murong Shi's words fell, he didn't expect Aunt Zheng's words to come out.
Suddenly, the entire hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qing An.
"Auntie...... Naturally, I consulted with the old lady. Qing An raised her eyebrows, although she couldn't see Aunt Zheng's expression clearly when she knelt down, but Zheng Xinru's small movements, she could see it clearly.
"How could it be ......" Zheng Xinru moved her lips, and was still thinking about saying something, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by Mrs. Qing.
"An An did ask me for advice yesterday," Mrs. Qing nodded, she looked at Qing Anzai, sighed, and said, "An Zai, you get up first, I must investigate the matter clearly." ”
When the old lady said this, her face was majestic, and the temperament on her body pressed everyone and hurriedly lowered their heads.
When Qing An heard this, she snickered, this old lady is a reasonable person.
"Third Miss, what are you snickering at?" Zheng Xinru frowned when she saw Qing An's appearance, she raised her voice and asked, and even touched her nose unconsciously.
Qing An studied psychology in her previous life, and when she saw Zheng Xinru's actions, she naturally reflected that Zheng Xinru was afraid that she was weak-hearted.
"Auntie, am I not even allowed to laugh now?" Qing'an stood up, she patted the soil on her skirt, and said to Zheng Xinru.
Xu is her gaze is too clear and tenacious, but Zheng Xinru's face is flushed, and she can't speak.
"Okay, okay, tell me what you saw yesterday?" Mrs. Qing was not in the mood to tease them with Qing An, she raised her eyebrows, and her voice unconsciously raised by half a point.
Qing An came back to her senses at this time, she glanced at the housekeeper beside her, and said, "Back to grandmother, I saw Steward Wang and Aunt Wang appear in the corridor. ”
After Qing An finished saying this, everyone looked at Zheng Xinru.
Everyone knows that this housekeeper has always been Aunt Zheng's confidant, and now it seems that there is something wrong with the two of them.
Zheng Xinru's face turned pale all of a sudden, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and shouted with tears in her eyes: "Old lady, you know, I was by your side last night." ”
Zheng Xinru was busy defending herself, so naturally she couldn't take care of the housekeeper who was already trembling and speechless behind her.
The old lady's face became more and more pale, and her brows frowned tightly, what is the matter, the young lady of her own family has just cleared the charge of elopement, and this aunt and a housekeeper have hooked up again.
If this matter is known by people outside, I am afraid that the prime minister's mansion will not be able to live in peace again.
Thinking of this, the old lady turned a pair of eyes between Zheng Xinru and the housekeeper a few times and then said sternly: "Zheng Xinru, Wang Zhi, what is the matter with the two of you?" ”
When Zheng Xinru heard this, she raised her head suddenly, she glared at Qing An fiercely, and then slowly spoke: "Please old lady Mingjian, I have nothing to do with this Wang Zhi, he is such a vulgar subordinate, how can I be with him!" ”
Zheng Xinru said this indignantly, and it sounded like the housekeeper took advantage of her.
When Steward Wang heard this, his face became unpleasant, he didn't expect Aunt Zheng to speak like this.
"Aunt Zheng is afraid that she has forgotten the housekeeper's diligent work for a few years, but he is your right-hand man." Qing An said with a smile.
After Qing An finished speaking, she stood aside with a smile, her black eyes looked directly at Zheng Xinru, but people couldn't see what she was thinking.
Xu Shiqing's gaze was too deep, and Zheng Xinru took two steps back in fear.
"Aunt Zheng, I didn't expect that in your heart, the old slave turned out to be just this status." When the housekeeper heard Zheng Xinru's voice, his eyes widened suddenly.
However, he quickly calmed down, he looked at Zheng Xinru, and said through gritted teeth.
Zheng Xinru realized how much her words offended Steward Wang.
Zheng Xinru lowered her head weakly, she was really afraid that the housekeeper would say something unfavorable to her, after all, all her things over the years, the housekeeper was the one who handled it.
Suddenly, the hall was quiet, and even Qing Yinglian, who was chattering on weekdays, looked at Zheng Xinru and Wang Zhi with a pale face at this time.
"Oh, I just said a little less, this aunt is not Aunt Zheng, it's ...... Aunt Liu. Qing An thought about it for a long time before he said it.
Aunt Liu has nothing to do with her, and it is really a last resort to involve her this time.
"Aunt Liu?" The old lady's face looked better.
But Qing Anzai was full of guilt, she looked up at the butler who was pale and about to faint, and sighed quietly in her heart.
"Third Miss, you're slandering me!" When the housekeeper heard Qing Anzai's words, he was stunned for a second or two, and suddenly he stretched out his hand and pointed at Qing Anzai's nose and shouted.
Qing An took two steps back, keeping a safe distance between herself and the housekeeper, her red lips were slightly hooked, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes: "If the housekeeper doesn't have it, what should he do with a weak heart?" ”
"Okay, don't make any noise, come on, invite Aunt Liu over for me." The old lady looked at the two people arguing under the seat, and rubbed her temples with some headaches.
At this moment, the direction of the development of things is really out of anyone's control, this Wang Zhi has been in the Qing family for many years, and this matter is over, no matter whether the result is or not, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in the Qing family.
"Old lady." Aunt Liu was soon invited, she whispered goodbye, and stood motionless in the center of the hall obediently.
"An An said, I saw you and the housekeeper having a private meeting yesterday, is this true?" Old Madam Qing took a sip of tea, she deliberately put up the shelf, and her voice sounded very cold.
