Chapter Twenty-Seven: This Cauldron Is Settled
At this time, someone had already explained all the words that had been passed on outside to the old lady, and the old lady lost her temper. Zhang's mother thoughtfully served her a cup of ginseng tea, so that she could slow down and not hurt her body. But the angry old lady pushed her hand, and a full cup of ginseng tea was sprinkled on Xu Shuyuan, who was kneeling on the ground.
"Idiot! There is more than enough success and more failure, looking at you is very clever, I didn't expect it to be so useless! ”
Xu Shuyuan couldn't cry, "I didn't expect it to be like this." Grandmother, believe me, I really didn't set this fire! ”
The old lady snorted coldly: "When you go, be more swaggering, everyone in the house knows that you went to that courtyard." There was never an accident in that yard before you went, why did you catch fire when you went? ”
Xu Shuyuan had explained for a long time before, but the old lady decided that she had set the fire. Xu Shuyuan was angry in her heart, and she had a grudge against the old lady.
"Grandmother's words were passed on to Huaixiang, and I was separated from Huaixiang at the time, and I only found out about it later. When I came out of Yu Chong's side, I found that it was on fire. Grandmother, why don't you believe me, I really didn't put this fire! ”
Huaixiang, who was kneeling at the door, nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we found out that it was on fire when we were about to leave." The young lady is kind-hearted, and she is not willing to step on half an ant to death, how dare she set it on fire? ”
"I don't think you're good anywhere!" The old lady pointed at Xu Shuyuan, trembling with anger. "It's just that you can go over and steal the medicine he hasn't drunk back, and this kind of little thing can't be done. The Seventh Prince was already staring at that side, but now that there is such a big commotion, I feel more like I don't want to admit myself! ”
The more the old lady thought about it, the more angry she became, no matter how she looked at Xu Shuyuan at this time, she felt that it was an eyesore.
The first few times, she thought that the Seventh Prince called Ziyue over because he was interested in Tong Yuqing, but after thinking about it a few times, she felt more and more that the Seventh Prince suspected that Yu Chong's illness was her fault.
Mrs. Yu is in business, and she has lived a very shrewd life with her. She deliberately wanted to befriend the Seventh Prince, but she also wanted to negotiate terms with Cheng Zirui. If Cheng Zirui pulled Yu Chong to speak, wouldn't she be led by the nose?
Xu Shuyuan had already cried into tears, she thought about everything in her mind, and suddenly remembered the medicine stove that she kicked over......
Could it be that the unextinguished sparks in the medicine stove burned the kitchen?
Xu Shuyuan's face instantly turned to ashes, this fire was really set by her......
was anxious and angry, so she could only look outside, hoping that Yu Wenyi would appear to help her speak, but her eyes were straight and she didn't see Yu Wenyi's shadow.
The picture of Yu Chong half-hugging Tong Yuqing flashed in front of him, and Xu Shuyuan's heart throbbed fiercely. Obviously, the old lady asked her to go over to be tempted, and when she caught fire, she was going to push people out, and she felt more and more aggrieved about this matter.
She is a young lady who has been held in the palm of her hand by the Xu family since she was a child, how could she have suffered such grievances, and as soon as the young lady's temper came up, she couldn't take care of the old lady's temper at all.
I saw Xu Shuyuan stand up suddenly, her eyes were red from crying on her beautiful little face, "It's just a kitchen, my Xu family will take the money to repair it for him to make a better one, and I will pay him a lot of the things in it, so it's okay, right?" ”
The old lady gritted her teeth with a blue face and said, "Are you using the Xu family to press me?" ”
Xu Shuyuan didn't speak, but her chin was raised, and she looked arrogant, and the answer was self-evident.
Old Madam Yu stomped her feet, "Okay, as soon as I enter the door, I will use my mother's house to press me." Xu Shuyuan, don't forget, you are a member of my Yu family when you marry into the door, no matter how powerful your mother's family is, it is just your mother's family, you have to recognize it clearly, your husband's family, surnamed Yu! ”
Xu Shuyuan's face loosened a little. Not to mention the lady's temper and the means of dealing with people, it is indeed not a good thing for a new daughter-in-law to deal with the housewife like this. She must not let go of the matter of arson, but today's case, she really can't suppress this grievance.
"What does grandmother mean, I have set this pot?"
The old lady didn't speak, but her eyes became much sharper than just now. Xu Shuyuan's heart trembled, and she almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
She is afraid that she will not be able to escape this disaster.
"Old lady!" The girl in the old lady's yard ran in stubbornly, looking panicked, "Old lady, the seventh prince is here." ”
Old Madam Yu's eyebrows jumped, she came so fast......
Just thinking about it, I saw Cheng Zirui's pair of cloud-stepping boots step in, as if he hadn't seen Xu Shuyuan standing there at all, and walked directly to the old lady.
"The fire in the old lady's house has burned to the entire capital, some people say that the culprit is the old lady, and some people say that it is the new Miss Xu family...... It's just gossip, but this king heard that this fire was because someone wanted to kill him......"
"Nonsense!" The old lady's face was even darker, "I have been innocent all my life, how can I say that I am killed?" It's just a fire in the kitchen, and it's a dry day, and the next person carelessly starts a fire. Now that the fire has been extinguished, I didn't expect it to disturb the prince. ”
Faced with the old lady's words, Cheng Zirui just smiled coldly. "This king knows the old lady's personality, so he naturally doesn't care about these gossips, but those people outside don't believe it. The old lady can go outside to listen, what this king said is quite polite, it seems that the old lady has to bother more. ”
The old lady hurriedly answered, "What outsiders say is someone else's business, I clean myself, I don't need to bother with anything." It's the prince...... What is the important matter of the prince coming over this time? ”
"What does the old lady mean, that's it?" Cheng Zirui's tone was a little chilly, "This king just asked Ziyue to take some precious medicinal materials to Second Master Yu, why did Second Master Yu catch fire as soon as Ziyue ran away?" Those medicinal herbs are rare things for this king, so it's a pity to burn them so well. ”
Old Madam Yu's heart tightened, "Miss Ziyue didn't seem to bring anything when she entered the mansion, even if she brought those medicinal materials, it is so precious, where can she put it in the kitchen casually." ”
Cheng Zirui glanced at her coldly, and the natural dignity and persecuting strong aura instantly invaded the senses of everyone in the room.
"This king said that if it is burned, it will be burned, do you believe it, old lady?"
The old lady frowned tightly, and he couldn't say a word.
Cheng Zirui sneered, "If the old lady doesn't believe it, this king can call Ziyue over again." Today, everyone in the Yu Mansion who has seen her has called out, let's confront it face to face. ”
The two hands in the sleeve of the old lady were clenched into fists, then released, and clenched again, and after a few times, finally opened her mouth. "Not really. Since the prince said that it was burned, it was burned. ”
Cheng Zirui set his eyes on Xu Shuyuan's body, and said meaningfully: "But there must be a reason for this arson, right?" ”
The old lady understood, he meant to push Xu Shuyuan out. In fact, even if Cheng Zirui doesn't say it, she also means this. Although I told Cheng Zirui just now that this is my own family matter, I don't need to explain it to others, but now it is so powerful outside, how can I do it if I don't give an explanation!
I thought about teaching Xu Shuyuan a lesson, and then casually pushed a maid out to take care of the matter, but I didn't expect Cheng Zirui to come in and get involved.
The old lady's heart tightened, she knew that he was staring, but she didn't expect to move so fast.
Thinking of this, the old lady scolded Xu Shuyuan: "Shuyuan, you still don't know what is wrong!" ”
Xu Shuyuan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, gritted his teeth, and knelt down again.
"Shuyuan knows it's wrong."
"What did you do wrong?"
Xu Shuyuan's face was pale, and even her voice trembled. "I, I shouldn't have set fire......"
Cheng Zirui was bored, "Why did you set the fire?" ”
Xu Shuyuan hid her tears and cried again, the appearance of pear blossoms with rain was pitiful, but she was asking the old lady for advice, how should she say this, and where should she say it......
The two eyes intertwined, she thought she could see some hints in the old lady's eyes, but she didn't expect that there was nothing in the old lady's eyes. Xu Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth and said: "I hate Tong Yuqing for stopping me in a sedan chair, and I heard that Yu Chong treats her very well." Wenyi hasn't been at home for the past few days, so I can't listen to her marrying badly but someone hurts. I wanted to humiliate Tong Yuqing, but I didn't expect to be bullied by the two of them, I couldn't get angry, and kicked over his medicine furnace......"
Xu Shuyuan said half-truths and half-truths, while explaining the situation, she also mentioned Yu Wenyi's recent negligence and snubbing her. The old lady loves her grandson and will not be willing to punish him. But now in front of Cheng Zirui, the old lady will promise to talk about Yu Wenyi for the sake of face.
Although this method is not very good, if Yu Wenyi can accompany her at home more, she thinks it is worth it.
Cheng Zirui was bored, and after listening to her finish talking about this, he turned to the old lady and said, "The precious medicinal materials of this king will be burned when they are burned, and the important thing is that the person is okay." Xu Shuyuan is your granddaughter-in-law, how to punish it, you have to decide, old lady. This is your family matter, and the king will not be involved, and he will take his leave. ”
After Cheng Zirui left, the old lady immediately had an angry look on her face, swept all the things on the table to the ground with her sleeves, and scolded Xu Shuyuan for splitting her head and covering her face.
"What precious medicinal herbs, it's just nonsense! Okay now, after a while, he will spread the news of your immoral character burning your elders, not only the Yu family, but also the Xu family. After that, he stood up and pretended to clean up the mess, so that you Xu family would be grateful...... It took two of us without much effort, and it was all up to you, a great hero! ”
Xu Shuyuan was scolded so much that she didn't dare to raise her head, and she didn't dare to resist the old lady, so she could only pile up all the hatred in her heart to Tong Yuqing, eager to peel her skin and bones!
A purple light flashed under her eyes, Xu Shuyuan had a plan in her heart, suddenly raised her head, and looked at the old lady pitifully.
"Grandmother, you have to help me!"
