Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fighting Wisdom
"When did Master Jiang come? Why don't you call someone to report it, so that Lord Jiang can pick up the wind and wash the dust. β
Liu Xiaoyue wore a pomegranate skirt today and wore a golden silk ruyi hairpin on her head, and the fat sister-in-law only felt that the golden light in the room was shining, and she couldn't open her eyes.
She secretly raised her head to look up at the graceful Liu Xiaoyue, looking at her and feeling as if she had seen her somewhere.
"What's the matter with Miss Liu?" Jiang Jue glared at her in displeasure, didn't even lift his buttocks, and sat there coldly.
Liu Xiaoyue's hand clutching in her sleeve burst out, but her face was light, and she replied with a smile, "I heard that there is a rough mother-in-law making trouble, how dare you bother adults with this kind of inner house?" Just leave it to me. β
"Miss Liu is right, but these three people are in a special situation, I have something to ask clearly, please Miss Liu go back to the inner courtyard, and when I finish the trial, I will naturally let someone send it to you."
Liu Xiaoyue glanced at Zhou, who was trembling under her feet, and smiled, "Sister-in-law Zhou was invited by me to do embroidery, and I don't know how to offend Lord Jiang?" β
"So Miss Liu knows Zhou? I'm curious how she got into a relationship with Miss, can you tell me a thing or two?"
Liu Xiaoyue's face turned crimson angrily, this Jiang Jue made it clear that she would not give her face, but she couldn't do anything, so she had to endure her anger and said, "When did Lord Jiang become so interested in the affairs of the back house?"
"The three of them are all from Liujia Village, and they have something to do with an incident I am pursuing, so please Miss Liu go back first!"
Liu Xiaoyue's body shook almost undetectably, her pale little face was full of anger, and she finally had to turn around and leave because of Jiang Jie's momentum.
The fat sister-in-law's eyes kept watching her leave, and her abnormal behavior attracted Jiang Jue's attention.
"What are you looking at?" Jiang Jue tapped his fingers on the table and asked in a deep voice.
The fat sister-in-law came back to her senses, and was just about to open her mouth to speak, and then looked to the left and right, Zhou's low eyebrows were lying on the ground, and her mother-in-law was motionless and pretending to be dead, so she licked her lips and said boldly, "My lord, I have made a major discovery." β
Liu Xiaoyue, who was standing in the door of the weeping flowers, watched Zhou and the old woman being pushed out, and the people around them were replaced by Liu Yanping's at some point.
"Luomei, call the Zhou family to come over to see me in a while." Liu Xiaoyue's palm-sized face was covered with clouds, and the light from her eyes was as cold and ruthless as a poisoned knife.
"Say what you have to say." Nei Jiang in the study was impatient and urged.
"My lord, I saw the young lady in the village."
The fat sister-in-law didn't know Liu Xiaoyue's conspiracy, she was bent on wanting Zhou's to look good, so with the attitude of "I can't get it, don't think about it", she accidentally provided Jiang Jue with evidence of Liu Xiaoyue's appearance in Liujia Village.
"About two years ago, I met Miss Liu in Bishui River, and she was wearing men's clothes at that time." She swore by it.
"How do you remember what happened two years ago so clearly? Are you sure the person you saw was Miss Liu?"
"It's true, although she is dressed as a man, her voice is absolutely wrong, when she talked to Zhou Cuiling, I heard it clearly in the reeds."
It was a midsummer evening, and the fat sister-in-law instigated Zhou to go to the river with her to take a bath, and Zhou entered the water one step slower than her, and was stopped by Liu Xiaoyue.
After she found out, she thought that Zhou had found a good match, and it was a fine skin and tender meat, so she hid aside and eavesdropped, and was attracted by Liu Xiaoyue's male outfit at that time, so she remembered her eyebrows and eyes clearly, but she didn't hear a word of what the two said.
"You go back first, don't say these words to anyone, otherwise your head will move immediately, do you hear?" Jiang Jue said coldly.
"Hey, the little woman remembered the words of the eldest master, but can the eldest lord do it well, give saliva to drink, give mouthful of food, I promise to kill and not spread the word." The fat sister-in-law said with a hippie smile.
Zhou didn't expect Jiang Jue to let her lead the fat sister-in-law and Wang to dinner, and he didn't mention interrogating him. took the two of them to the house where they lived, cheekily went to the kitchen to ask for some food for the two of them and put it in front of them, and the two of them immediately pounced like wolves, grabbed the thin noodles in the basin and took a big bite.
"Fat sister-in-law, what did you say to that Master Jiang?" Zhou asked as he stared at her suspiciously.
"Bah, you still have the face to ask, I haven't interceded for you yet? Or will that adult let you go? β
"How did you intercede?" Zhou didn't believe the fat sister-in-law's words at all, but he couldn't ask why, because the fat sister-in-law's mouth was stuffed with fine noodles and dumplings, and she didn't have time to take care of her.
At night, the Lin Mansion was quiet and could only hear the chirping of night birds, Zhou washed his hands and changed into clean clothes, and went to the house where Liu Xiaoyue lived in a panic.
"You wait outside first." Luomei glanced at her, picked up the curtain and went back to the house to report to Liu Xiaoyue.
"Call someone in." Finally, after Liu Xiaoyue finished reading the book in her hand, she yawned lazily.
After a while, Zhou's seren, who had been filled with autumn breeze, came in, "I've seen the girl." β
"Sister-in-law Zhou, sit down."
Zhou reluctantly agreed, and a little maid next to him hugged a brocade pestle, and Zhou sat down with a smile on half of his buttocks.
Liu Xiaoyue sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Luomei to serve her, Zhou secretly raised her eyes to look, and saw Liu Xiaoyue pick up a pair of cloisonnΓ© lantern gold earrings and asked Luomei, "Ming'er will go to Tianxianglou and ask, can you add an emerald to it." β
"Miss, Childe will be back in a few days, why don't you let Childe help you get an idea?"
As soon as the two asked and answered, they dried Zhou for another long time, combed their hair, and Liu Xiaoyue leaned on the pillow and stared at Zhou who was sitting on the ground like pins and needles and smiled.
"Sister-in-law Zhou, do you know what I'm going to ask you?"
Zhou's sweat is raining down at this moment, how can she know what Liu Xiaoyue is going to ask? To tell the truth, I couldn't help but be scolded, so I replied stubbornly, "I know...... Know. β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
"Girl, don't you want to ask the adult how he recognized us?"
Liu Xiaoyue sneered, "You are still a little clever, why don't you tell the truth quickly?"
"Yes, girl, that adult saved Song Qingyun's life a month ago, when he arrested my sister-in-law's father-in-law and my aunt......"
"What? The person who captured Jiang Banxian was Jiang Jue?" Liu Xiaoyue sat up suddenly, her face was pale, her eyes were full of resentment, and Luomei on the side hurriedly moved the corner lamp, so that no one could see it really.
Zhou doesn't understand why she is so angry, Jiang Banxian is her sister-in-law's father-in-law, and it has nothing to do with her?
"Song Qingyun? You just mentioned Song Qingyun, didn't you?" Liu Xiaoyue said sharply.
"Yes, yes, it's Song Qingyun."
Another thing that Zhou couldn't figure out was that Liu Xiaoyue seemed to hate Song Qingyun, since she came to this mansion, Luomei always asked her about Song Qingyun intentionally or unintentionally, when she thought of Su Yi and Jiang Jie's ruthlessness, as well as the reputation of the Sun family, she didn't dare to tell the truth from her heart and lungs, and now she was recognized by Liu Xiaoyue, she only remembered that her scalp was numb, and she couldn't wait for a crack in the ground to get into.
