Chapter 350: Confrontation
"I just went to Xiangluo Courtyard, why was I arrested by my wife?" Xun Qingran asked.
"It's Sister Kikyo who came back from Xiangluo Courtyard, and somehow met the second wife on the way to accompany Ning Xin for a stroll. The second wife stopped Sister Kikyo to speak, and then asked her to tie Sister Kikyo back to the Prayer Hall, saying that Sister Kikyo had collided with her and wanted to kill Sister Kikyo. "Baozhu Road.
It is not a long distance from Xiangluo Courtyard to Ning Yuanju. The bellflower has always been very steady, even if he didn't avoid the second lady Qi and Ning Xin in time, even if he was wronged, he would be patient and deal with it properly. Besides, she understands the current situation, how could she rush into Second Lady Qi?
The whole thing obviously smelled of conspiracy, and Xun Qingran had to think that Second Mrs. Qi had worked hard, and it was the bellflower that was targeted.
"Grandma, think of a way." Baozhu hurriedly said, "Last night, Xiaocha in the wife's yard was ordered by the second wife to be beaten to death because she knocked over the bowl while serving the second wife, and she was beaten so that she only had one breath left, and she didn't survive all night." The second wife is crazy, and she will definitely not let go of Sister Kikyo. ”
"The second wife is not crazy at all," Xun Qingran said, "She just suffered a board in front of everyone, and she is nesting fire in her heart, and this evil fire wants to be vented." And because she hurt her dignity, she was afraid that the people below would refuse to listen to her again, so she did this trick of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys. ”
"Isn't that sister Kikyo more dangerous?" Orb Road.
That's right, Xun Qingran nodded silently.
Second Mrs. Qi wanted to lure her into the bait, and the bait was bellflower.
Second Lady Qi changed her strategy, starting with the people around her, and also picked the one she cared about the most. Kikyo has been serving her since she was a child. Like Malt, he accompanied her through the darkest time in the Xun family. The relationship between them is not just the love of master and servant. Kikyo, like Malt, is regarded by her as an important person in her life. She was willing to bother to arrange for malt like that, how could she watch Kikyo suffer.
Xun Qingran stood up.
"Let's go, let's go to the New Year's Hall." Xun Qing said.
"Grandma, please think again." Mama Xu stopped Xun Qingran, "The slave thinks that the second lady Qi deliberately caught the bellflower, and the disposal of the bellflower is fake, and it is true to lure grandma to the bait." Grandma, don't fall for her. That prayer hall, at this moment, I am afraid that it is already a tiger's den in Longtan. ”
After the second lady Qi was beaten by the board, not only did not restrain herself, but intensified. Xun Qingran remembered the dream last night.
"Of course I do. However, she caught the bellflower, and I can't leave it alone. Xun Qing said.
"Grandma, there are also people from the fourth master in that yard, and they won't watch the bellflower girl suffer." Mama Xu said.
They can only ease for a while, and the second wife must have made up her mind to take the bellflower away in front of people. The second wife listened to Mama Zhang's words the most, and that Mama Zhang was the opponent of us. Xun Qing said.
"Grandma, you are pregnant, this ...... you go" Mama Xu was worried, "It's the bellflower girl, and I don't want grandma to be in danger." ”
Xun Qingran's heart moved, and he turned his head and asked Baozhu, "Do you mean that the bellflower collided with the second wife, isn't it the county lord of Ningxin?" ”
Baozhu nodded, "Back to grandma, the maid really listened to it, and only said that she had collided with the second wife, and did not mention Ning Xin." ”
Xun Qingran thought about it for a while, and then made up his mind.
"Hurry up and invite Second Master Zheng to come." Xun Qingran commanded.
Mama Xu immediately understood Xun Qingran's plan, "The slave will go in person." ”
…………
Xun Qingran didn't wait long, and Zheng Yuanlang came soon.
Obviously, Mama Xu had already told him about the bellflower.
"Sister Dye, don't worry, I'll go and intercede. Mama Xu has already told me, it's not a big deal, don't be in a hurry. Zheng Yuanlang said, obviously Mama Xu had already told her what had happened.
Zheng Yuanlang's face was full of concern, making Xun Qingran seem to be back to that early spring morning. Under the warm sun, a young man with one cheek flushed.
Xun Qing's eyes turned red.
"Second Brother Zheng, please leave this matter to you. Either way, please be sure to rescue the bellflower. Xun Qingran said, "The life of the bellflower is the most important, and everything else can be right." ”
"Sister Dye, don't worry, I will definitely bring the bellflower back to you unharmed." Zheng Yuanlang said softly.
Xun Qingran nodded heavily.
Zheng Yuen Long is a trustworthy person, and Xun Qingran believes in his promise.
Zheng Yuanlang hurriedly went to the prayer hall, and Xun Qingran sat in Ningyuan to wait.
A quarter of an hour passed, and two quarters of an hour passed.
Zheng Yuenlong did not return, and the people sent out to inquire about the news also returned empty-handed. On the side of the prayer hall, now it is only allowed to enter and not to leave, and no news can be transmitted at all.
Xun Qingran couldn't sit still anymore, she believed that Zheng Yuanlang would try his best to save the bellflower, but Second Mrs. Qi could no longer use common sense to speculate.
Last night, the snow group came back and made some movements, and it was impossible for Second Lady Qi not to know about it, but I was afraid that she would guess that Qi You would come back soon. And this hour is when the Rong family takes medicine every day and falls asleep, and Second Mrs. Qi calculates the right time to do this. If she Xun Qingran didn't appear, Second Lady Qi would never let go of the bellflower, even if Zheng Yuanlang came forward.
"Grandma," Mama Xu still hesitated, "maybe wait, wait for the old lady to wake up, or Zheng Erye will come back with the bellflower." ”
Mama Xu may not have noticed it herself, and there was a lack of confidence in her tone.
"Mama, let's stop deceiving ourselves." Xun Qing said, "If my wife doesn't see me, she won't let the bellflower go." We can wait, wait for the old lady to wake up, but at that time, what was sent out of the prayer hall was probably the corpse of Kikyo. ”
And she couldn't afford to gamble on that possibility. Second Mrs. Qi is afraid that she has also seen through this.
Mama Xu fell silent.
Xun Qingran tidied up her dress, "Let's go to the New Year's Hall." "Even if the Prayer Hall has become a tiger's den in Longtan, and a big net is waiting for her, she has to break through.
Malt had already heard the news and rushed over, so he rolled up his sleeves at this time and wanted to follow Xun Qingran to rescue the bellflower.
"Don't go," Xun Qingran said, "You stay here and take care of Fusheng and Xuan'er for me." That's how I can rest assured. ”
"Okay then." The malt had to agree to stay.
Xun Qingran made proper arrangements, and immediately took Mama Xu and others to the New Year's Hall.
There were seven or eight mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law standing at the gate of the prayer hall, and when they saw Xun Qing dyeing coming, they blocked the door.
“…… The county lord was also there, and his wife instructed that the fourth grandmother wanted to go in, so she had to go in alone. A mother-in-law said, "The rest of the people can only wait outside." ”
It's clearly ill-intentioned.
Xun Qingran snorted softly, if it was usual, she might have said a few good words, but today, she no longer had that thought.
"What a bold minion, fake passwords, disrespectful to the master, no royal law?" Xun Qingran raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't hurry up and get out of the way." ”
Seeing Xun Qing dyed like this, the woman's momentum suddenly became a little shorter, but she refused to give way.
"Give me a hard lesson for this minion." Xun Qingran waved his hand behind him and commanded.
Jin Ling and a few tall mothers-in-law were waiting for this sentence, and immediately rushed forward.
The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law only screamed, but they didn't dare to parry, so they took advantage of the situation to hide to the side and get out of the way.
"Girl, the minions are also a last resort, and they don't dare to be disrespectful to the fourth grandmother." A slightly older woman fled with her head in her arms and whispered to Jin Ling.
…………
There are two Taishi chairs in the courtyard of the prayer hall.
Ning Xin held a tea bowl in her hand, sat in the Taishi chair at the top, and occasionally took a leisurely sip, looking comfortable, as if she was basking in the sun. Second Lady Qi sat on the Taishi chair at the bottom of the head. There was a circle of girls and mother-in-law in the yard, and the bellflower stood in the middle of the circle, her hands were tied behind her back, and she was caught between the two mothers-in-law and couldn't move.
Zheng Yuanlang stood beside Second Mrs. Qi, lowered his head, said something to Second Mrs. Qi, occasionally turned his face sideways, and glanced at the tied bellflower with concern.
"Lang'er, don't say it." Second Mrs. Qi waved her hand to stop Zheng Yuanlang, "I should have given you this dignity." It's just that this girl from bellflower dares to rush into me and don't teach her a lesson, and everyone in this house will learn the same in the future, so it's worth it. ”
"Auntie......"
"Call me." Second Lady Qi commanded at the people below.
The two mothers-in-law pressed the bellflower on the bench, and a woman next to him came over with a stick the thickness of the bowl in her hand, lifted it high, and fell to the bellflower.
Zheng Yuanlang couldn't stop it, watching the stick flash countless traces of cold light in the sun, he was slightly stunned, and then strode over and fell on the bellflower.
The stick fell with the sound of the wind and hit Zheng Yuenlong's back firmly. Rao Zheng Yuanlang tried his best to endure it, but he still let out a muffled snort.
Xun Qingran walked into the courtyard from the hall and saw this scene.
When the woman saw that she had hit Zheng Yuanlang, she stopped.
Second Mrs. Qi stood up, shocked and angry, and pointed at Zheng Yuanlang, "You, you, are just a girl from her, what does it have to do with you, you have always been a polite person, but now you insist on interceding with her, and now it's like this, you ......"
Ning Xin covered her mouth with a handkerchief, but there was a smile in her eyes, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xun Qingran coming in from outside with someone, and her whole face was smiling
"Oh, Sister Qingran is here." Ning Xin said.
Second Mrs. Qi stopped, no longer talking about Zheng Yuanlang, just to see what happened to Xun Qingran.
Jin Ling and others had already stepped forward to help Zheng Yuanlang and Kikyo up.
Zheng Yuanlang was hit by the board, and there was already blood on his clothes. Spotted, dazzling.
Seeing that Xun Qing was coming, Zheng Yuanlang said, "I'm fine." Then he seemed to feel a little guilty for not saving Kikyo as he had promised.
Xun Qingran didn't have anything to say to Zheng Yuanlang at this time, so he only pulled the bellflower over and looked up and down. Kikyo looked embarrassed, but his clothes were intact and there was not a trace of scarring. Xun Qingran breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, the maid was not hurt. It's just ......" Kikyo turned his gaze to Zheng Yuenlong.
Xun Qingran's gaze turned to the beating stick, which was like a mace on Qi You's weapon spectrum, with a lot of iron thorns on it. If this is used with sufficient strength to hit people, it will be crippled if it does not die.
"Sister Qingran is really not simple, even a girl next to her is so extraordinary." Ning Xin chuckled and said, "Let the second master of the Zheng family kneel down and plead for mercy, and save him so desperately." ”
Ning Xin's laughter was ill-intentioned, and Second Lady Qi immediately caught the message in Ning Xin's words.
"Dye girl, how do you discipline the people around you? I know that you pride yourself on filial piety, and the old lady believes in you. Now a girl next to you dares to bump into me in person, this is your filial piety? I don't know where this girl learned this foxy appearance again, and the seduced man wants to die or live for him. My Qi family has never had such a minion, such a thing, dyeing girl, you explain to me, what's going on? Such a girl, you should be killed, are you right to dye the girl? Second Lady Qi asked a series of questions to Xun Qingran.
Failed to use the punishment to kill Kikyo, and now he uses his tongue as a knife, and at the same time he takes Kikyo's life, he also splashes sewage on her.
"The maid has never been disrespectful to the second wife. Just now in the garden, the maid saw the second wife and the county lord, and there was no rudeness in every word and deed. The servant sat upright, and had no shame in his heart. Second Master Zheng was chivalrous, saw that no one was wronged and wronged, and did not want the reputation of the second wife to be damaged, so he stepped forward to stop him. The sky is above, and the things of the world can't escape a single word. If the wife and the county lord do not recognize this principle, they must be willing to die before the servant dies, and the servant will die. Please don't climb on the wife and the county lord. Kikyo was extremely calm at this time, and said with his head held high.
"No wonder the fourth grandmother loves her, and people respect her. What a woman with backbone. Someone below whispered praise.
Second Lady Qi's face was very ugly.
"A man and a woman do not kiss, and a chaste woman loses her virginity when she is touched. The famous martyr, but when someone touched her arm, she cut off her arm. The bellflower girl said so chastely, this is done and that? The matter of Fang Cai, we can see it really, how is the bellflower girl going to explain it. Mama Gu sneered.
Kikyo gritted his teeth, glanced at Zheng Yuanlang, and quickly turned his head, his eyes falling on the stone pillar next to him.
Xun Qingran saw that there was some hesitation in the eyes of the bellflower, and his heart sank, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed the bellflower.
"The bellflower is loyal, Zheng Erye is chivalrous, how can the villain speculate. Mama and let's talk about chastity, then I ask Mama, what should I say about this married man, gave birth to a daughter, abandoned her husband and daughter, and dressed up as a girl to swagger and deceive? ”
The smile on Ning Xin's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a miserable white.
Xun Qingran didn't like to expose people's shortcomings in person, but seeing Ning Xin's expression at this moment made her extremely happy.
Second Lady Qi saw the change in Ning Xin's face in her eyes, and sighed in her heart, the direction of the development of things was very unfavorable to her.
"This girl bumped into me first, and then pulled and pulled with the masters, but this is what everyone saw." Second Mrs. Qi said, "Someone will give me this girl......"
"Auntie, wait." Zheng Yuanlang suddenly spoke, "Auntie, I want to marry the bellflower girl." ”。.。
