Hearing Xie Langhua say this, Qiu Yan was really afraid, if she was sold to the mansion with her status, there would only be two ends, one was to sell her to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion while she was young and a little bit of grace, and the other was to sell it to someone with a little family background as a little wife, no matter which way she didn't want it.

"Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong, please beg the eldest lady to spare the slave and maid this time!" Qiu Yan looked defeated, knelt in front of Xie Langhua and kowtowed heavily, one after another, but in a moment, blood oozed from her forehead.

Xie Langhua stood there indifferently, looking at her expressionlessly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

Qiu Yan is her mother's dowry girl, although it is not longer than Mother Qian and Mother Bai, but it has been seven or eight years, and now she is twenty-five or sixteen years old, her mother has always treated them kindly, if she does anything else, she can forgive her, only hurting her mother, she can't forgive.

Seeing that it was hopeless to beg Xie Langhua, Qiu Yan turned around, knelt down in front of Xiao Shi, and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Madam, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, please beg Madame to spare the slave and maid this time when she looks at the slave and maid who have served for many years!"

Xiao has always been soft-hearted, otherwise, how could she let a concubine ride on her head as a prestige, and even calculated that she was ruined and ruined, and she was kept in the dark until she died.

Xiao Shi glanced up at Xie Langhua, and his voice slowed down: "Langhua, why don't you spare her this time! Qiu Yan has always served intimately, and this matter is also related to my body, so she is out of proportion." ”

Xie Langhua did not speak.

Mother didn't know anything, and she didn't want her to know about such a dirty thing.

But Qiu Yan couldn't stay.

Only if she does such a thing will not arouse Zhao's suspicion.

Her face sank, and she pretended to be angry, and said, "Mother, can't I even do such a small thing?"

Xiao didn't expect Xie Langhua to be so angry.

"The slave maid brought ginseng soup to the eldest lady, and begged the eldest lady to spare Qiu Yan for the sake of Qiu Yan serving her wife for many years!" At that moment, Mother Bai walked in with ginseng soup, she glanced at Qiu Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and walked towards Xie Langhua with a smile.

Mother Qian also walked in, she raised her hand and gave Qiu Yan two slaps, and Qiu Yan's face instantly swollen.

"The slave knows it's wrong!" Qiu Yan whimpered and cried, crying so pitifully.

Mother Qian glanced at Qiu Yan coldly, and smiled at Xie Langhua: "The eldest lady is angry, the old slave has already taught this Diao slave a lesson, if the eldest lady is still angry, even if she orders someone to drag her out and beat her, now that the lady is not in good health, there are indispensable people to serve in front of her." ”

The Xiao family has always relied on Mother Bai and Mother Qian, and now even the two of them have opened their mouths to intercede for Qiu Yan.

Xiao Shi took the ginseng soup brought by Bai's mother, handed it to Xie Langhua with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Drink the ginseng soup while it's hot!"

also wanted to let Xie Langhua dissipate his anger.

Xie Langhua took the ginseng soup handed by Xiao, and his eyes swept back and forth on Mother Bai and Mother Qian, there was no trace of waves on her face, but her eyes were condensed into ice, and there was a murderous atmosphere.

Before, she couldn't make up her mind, how many people in her mother's room were bought by the Zhao family, but now it seems that all of them were taken down by the Zhao family, Qiu Yan is okay, Mother Qian and Mother Bai are the old people around her mother, they have grown up watching their mothers since they were children, and they have done such things inside and out, aren't they afraid of being punished by God?

It's really hateful.

What's even more hateful is that she can't touch her money mother and white mother now.

Xie Langhua drank all the ginseng soup in one gulp, and when she saw that Xiao Shi was also about to drink the ginseng soup, she snatched the bowl in her hand and couldn't help but drink it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Xiao Shi laughed dotingly, and sighed softly: "Langhua is still as greedy as when he was a child. ”

Seeing that Xie Langhua drank the ginseng soup, Qiu Yan, Mother Bai and Mother Qian all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she would definitely give it away.

Xie Langhua raised his eyebrows and smiled, put the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table, lowered his eyes and said: "Come on!

Since she opened this mouth, she definitely won't leave Qiu Yan anymore.

The war between her and the Zhao clan officially began today.

"Don't, ma'am!" Qiu Yan grabbed the corner of Xiao's clothes and cried loudly, refusing to let go.

Mother Bai and Mother Qian looked at Xiao intently, and said in unison: "Madam, for Qiu Yan's sake of serving with all her heart, let's spare her this time!"

Xiao Shi looked up at Xie Langhua, and seeing Xie Langhua's unhappy face, she turned her head and didn't look at Qiu Yan again, and let the servants drag Qiu Yan out.

"Madam......" The night breeze was gentle, and Qiu Yan's cry was particularly cautious.

Seeing this, Mother Bai and Mother Qian stopped talking.

The moment Qiu Yan was dragged out, Xie Langhua showed a smile, looked at Xiao softly and said, "The ginseng soup in my mother's room is really delicious. ”

While speaking, her afterglow casually fell on Mother Bai and Mother Qian, only to see that the two of them stiffened and lowered their heads.

It can be seen that the heart is also empty.

Xie Langhua smiled quietly, and accompanied Xiao Shi for a while, before taking Chun Tao immediately.

Out of Xiao's courtyard, the night was thick, and the quiet moonlight sprinkled all over the ground.

Chun Tao has always been a worrying person, she followed Xie Langhua's side, and said with a worried face: "Miss, since Mother Bai and Mother Qian have spoken, how can they spare Qiu Yan, otherwise they should talk about Miss Eldest behind their backs." ”

Xie Langhua paused, turned his head to look at Chun Tao, and said awe-inspiringly: "When has your young lady ever been afraid of other people's discussions? ”

She used to be not afraid of their discussions, but now she is even more afraid.

She has made up her mind not to marry again in this life, so what does it have to do with such a reputation or something?

She just had to live as she pleased.

"Alas!" Chun Tao couldn't help but sigh.

On this day, the car and horses were tiring, and the mountain bandits were frightened a lot, and after returning to the courtyard, Xie Langhua let Chun Tao rest.

Originally, there were two servant maids beside her, but since the Zhao family took charge of the house, she said that she should be diligent and thrifty, so she sent the red apricot next to her, and even Xie Yaohua and the young lady in the house had only one servant maid beside her.

Zhao's move won the appreciation of his father and old lady.

Such as these nouveau riche families, their family background is indeed not as good as those of the Gongqing clan.

After Xie Langhua washed, he lay on the couch and tossed and turned, unable to sleep for a long time.

Zhao tried his best to prevent her from seeing the old man, but she didn't know what happened to her on the mountain, whether those mountain bandits had arrived as promised, and why she had returned safely.

When Zhao knows what happened today, he will definitely make it difficult for her.

Even if she escaped safely from the hands of the mountain bandits, her reputation was damaged after all, and the Zhao family would definitely make a big fuss.

And Helian You......

She thought that there was no flaw in her performance today, and hoped that he would not be suspicious.

The Zhao family actually found Helian You, which was really a big surprise for her.

Over there, the Zhao family has already found out what happened today.

At that time, she was soaking her hands with fresh rose petals, and the people who have always been diligent and thrifty housekeepers actually used fresh roses with a price higher than gold, which shows how diligent and thrifty she was.

Zhao is not yet thirty years old, although he has given birth to two children, but the maintenance is fine, the years seem to treat her very well, without leaving a trace on her face, from a woman from a small family, to the real head of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion today, it can be seen how powerful Zhao's wrist is.

She lowered her eyes and said with a grim smile: "Didn't she have the courage to betray Qiu Yan? Tomorrow I will let her get out of this Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

On the bright side, Qiu Yan is a person in the Xiao family house after all, even if she is unwilling, she can't wipe her hands on the things in the Xiao family's house openly, and now it can only be like this.

But how can she not hate, Qiu Yan has already become her eyes and ears, she has always done things for her, but she is also loyal, and she is suddenly missing, although there are still Bai Ma and Qian Mother are there, but those two old guys are not as good as Qiu Yan.

In Zhao's eyes, Xie Langhua was an embroidered pillow, which was useless, so that she didn't even think about it, if Xie Langhua found something, so she suddenly disposed of Qiu Yan.

This is not to blame the Zhao family, in the past, Xie Langhua relied on the identity of the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and always acted like this, and the servants in the family saw who was not pleasing to the eye, so they disposed of it at will, this matter was really in line with her temperament.

Xie Langhua fell asleep in a daze.

She slept restlessly that night, and the old things from the past echoed in her mind, tearing at her heart and lungs little by little.

"Xie Yaohua, Xiao Mo......" She was lying on the couch, her eyes closed, she tugged on the thin blanket on her body tightly, and read the names of these two people in her mouth, and suddenly opened her eyes.

At that moment, her face was pale, her eyes were blood-red, and her bedclothes were already soaked with sweat.

"Miss. Chun Tao listened to her shout, walked in quickly, and was instantly frightened by her appearance, so that she stood in front of Xie Langhua's couch in a daze, looking at her with wide eyes, unable to say a word.

Xie Langhua lowered his eyes and gasped for breath before returning to normal for a while.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Chun Tao, and said in a hoarse voice, "Chun Tao, why are you here?"

Chun Tao came back to her senses at this time, she turned her head to look out the window, turned around and poured a glass of water for Xie Langhua, stretched out her hand to hand it to her, and said slowly: "It's dawn, and the slave maid heard the eldest lady's shout and came over." ”

Xie Langhua took the water handed by Chun Tao, drank it all in one gulp, looked up at the sky outside, and said with a faint smile: "Since it's dawn, it's time to get up." ”

Today is going to be an eventful time, but she is not afraid!

Little by little, she wants to show her minions.

Chun Tao turned around and brought Xie Langhua a dress, and served Xie Langhua to get up.

"Sister, have you gotten up? I woke up early in the morning and heard that my sister met a mountain bandit when she went to Ganquan Temple yesterday, and I was worried that my sister was in good health, so I rushed here. Xie Langhua was just dressed up, and after washing, Xie Yaohua's voice sounded outside the door.
