Chapter 036: Cutting off one finger (3)

?? Useful? Could it be that Qi Niang thinks-

Mama Zhao thought of a possibility, and said with a strange face, "Second young grandma, is it possible that you think-"

Before she finished speaking, the little girl who was waiting in the outer courtyard came over to report: "Second young grandmother, the jade beads in Aunt Su's house ask to see you." ”

"Yuzhu? This little hoof who has no dignity in his eyes still dares to come, the second young grandmother, the old slave to take a look? ”

When Mama Zhao heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up, she rolled up her fat sleeves, and made a gesture to kill her.

"Mama Zhao, don't be in a hurry," Wang Qifang shook her head slightly, suggesting that Mama Zhao should be a little restless, she turned her head and asked the little girl: "Did Yuzhu say why she asked to see me?" Or was he sent by Aunt Su, what important things to report? "Now the Su family is a giant panda in the family, and before giving birth to a child, his body is expensive.

"No," the little girl shook her head and said with sympathy, "After Yuzhu arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she said a word to ask to see the second young grandmother, and knelt at the door with a puff, but she didn't say anything about it, how to persuade the slave maid, she just knelt there with her head down." ”

When the smart Wang Qifang heard this, she secretly stretched out her thumb.

Well, just in the face of Yuzhu's posture, Wang Qifang believes that this girl is by no means the arrogant and domineering slave she imagined.

"Huh, now know you're wrong? What did you do earlier, huh? When she disrespects Miss Major, how can she not know? ”

Mama Zhao snorted disdainfully and said coldly.

Wang Qifang waved her hand, "Mama Zhao, don't be angry." You" pointed to the little girl, Wang Qifang ordered: "Go and call Yuzhu in, I want to hear what Yuzhu has to say." ”

"That," the little girl opened her mouth and said embarrassedly, "just now the slave saw that she was kneeling at the door and she didn't look good, so she made her own decision and let Yuzhu wait in the courtyard, but, but she didn't stop, and she knelt like that without saying a word." ”

"Oh~~" Did she still feel that she had been wronged, Wang Qifang suddenly sank her face, "Okay, let's go and take a look and listen to this Yuzhu girl's argument." Maybe, we have really wronged others, after all, we have to inquire about things twice, and we can't listen to them or believe it? ”

Especially after seeing Kou'er's restless eyes, Wang Qifang only believed six or seven percent of what she said to her - perhaps, Yuzhu is a little frivolous, but Kou'er may not be innocent.

If you want to use the name of Yuan Niang to suppress dissidents, you have miscalculated

Outside the courtyard gate, Yuzhu knelt straight on the gravel path under the stone steps, her eyes were level, and her expression was rarely calm. Only under the wide sleeves with monofilament embroidered grapes piercing the branches, a pair of slender jade hands were tightly held, revealing her mood at the moment - nervous, but excited, and more desperate.

A moment later, there was a sound of clothes and shoes in the courtyard, and Yuzhu hurriedly buried her head deep in her knees, covering all the expressions on her face, and her curled figure outlined the illusion of panic and timidity.

As soon as E was placed, a cold voice came from the top of his head, "You are Yuzhu?" What's the matter with asking to see Grandma Ben? But what's wrong with Aunt Su? ”

Yuzhu first kowtowed deeply, and said sadly: "The slave is Yuzhu, and she is here to ask the second young grandmother for her guilt, and the slave and maid are guilty, and I hope that the second young grandmother will spare the slave and the maid this time for the sake of the slave and the maid being a first offender." ”

"This sounds fresh, what mistake did you make, why doesn't Grandma Ben know?" Wang Qifang glanced at the road outside the courtyard, probed her brain to look at the lively people, and said with a cold smile, "Yuzhu, let's not talk about what mistakes you made, just because you didn't listen to the master's orders and knelt in front of the master's door to coerce the master's mother, you can't be too much if this young grandmother had a seizure on the spot."

Yuzhu straightened up and shrunk, then stood up again, and said in a sad tone: "The second young grandmother forgives her sins, and the slave and maid will never dare to coerce the master mother." It's really the slave who feels that she has made a big mistake, for fear that the second young grandmother will blame, that's right-"

"What a sharp-toothed girl, she keeps saying that the second young grandmother is 'to blame', as if our second young grandmother is the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and does things unfairly." When Mama Zhao heard this, she already understood a little, she took two steps and scolded with a cold face: "Obviously, you are disrespectful and disrespectful to the eldest lady, not only do you speak, but you also dare to knock over the eldest lady's food...... Yuzhu, let me ask you, have you ever been wronged by this one? ”

"......" Yuzhu lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and then said with a cry: "What Mama Zhao said, the slave and maid recognized what it was." Please spare the slave and maid."

Wang Qifang shook her head secretly, Mama Zhao was too uncontrollable, didn't she know that Yuzhu was waiting for this sentence.

At this point, she finally understood the reason why Yuzhu took the initiative to provoke Yuan Niang, hehe, this is to use herself to frame Wang Qifang for her.

Well, too, since Wang Qifang came back, she has used thunderous means several times to punish the restless subordinates, and the servants of the Zhao family have laughed and scolded the second young grandmother in private for being sour and ruthless, not as good as the wife's kindness.

And Aunt Su is the best promoter of this rumor, after she heard the little girl's reply, she let herself plant nails in various yards, jumping up and down to help spread rumors, it is best to spread the Zhao family, so that everyone in the capital knows that the second young grandmother of the Zhao family is unkind to her subordinates, unkind to her husband's concubine, and has no bearing as a housewife.

Wang Qifang knows this. Now it is no better than in the past, there are more talents around her, in the inner courtyard, only one Qingyun can find out a lot of news, and most of them are selfish.

"You little hoof, I'll let you talk nonsense"

Mama Zhao saw that there were more and more prying eyes around, and she was in a hurry, and she raised her foot and was about to kick it over.

"Mama, slow" Wang Qifang hurriedly grabbed Mama Zhao's excited figure, and let Qingyu who followed behind her help Mama Zhao back, and then she turned to look at Yuzhu, who was still kneeling respectfully, and sighed: "Alas, forget it." Yuan Niang has always been the most soft-hearted, and she never thought of punishing you, but this time for Yuan Niang's sake, this young grandmother will spare you. However, if you dare to be disrespectful to the eldest lady in the future, there is no dignity in your eyes, don't blame this young grandmother for having strict family laws."

As she spoke, Wang Qifang turned around elegantly and returned to the courtyard.

How is "this ......" different from the scene that Aunt Su expected? Yuzhu knelt on the ground alone, and a gloom flashed on her face.

On this day, Qingfeng hurried back.

"How's it going, is the investigation clear?"

Wang Qifang casually handed her a fat peach, with a natural demeanor, and did not mean to treat Qingfeng as an outsider or a subordinate at all.

"Grandma Xie," Qingfeng was a little unnatural, took the peach with a sluggish movement, holding a fat peach in both hands, and the whole person looked a little silly.

"Huh? What is the background of the white butler? ”

Wang Qifang inserted a piece of cut peach flesh with a bamboo skewer with one hand, pinched a handkerchief with the other hand and held it next to Yuan Niang's chin, and stuffed the peach slices into the little mouth that the little girl was waiting for.

"Doom ......" Qingfeng finally came back to his senses, and saw that Wang Qifang did not let the eldest lady avoid it, so he sorted out his thoughts and reported: "Back to the second young grandmother, this white housekeeper is from Jiaozhou, and his ancestral home is Dengzhou. But the family of the foreign family is not very well-off, let alone studying, it is not easy to eat a full stomach. Later, a shopkeeper next door to Liu Da saw that he was smart but could not study due to his family background, so he privately took out money to fund the white steward's study...... This shopkeeper is the distant uncle of Liu Da * Grandma, and he was helped by Liu Da * Grandma's father when he was a child"

Having said that, it is already very clear that the white steward is the person of the eldest young grandmother, no, Wang Qifang's hand holding the bamboo stick stopped in mid-air, frowning slightly, perhaps, the eldest young master is the mastermind behind the scenes

"Mother?"

Yuan Niang chewed delicious peaches, squinting her little crescent-like eyes and waiting for her mother to feed her again, waiting for a long time, but nothing waited, she opened her eyes in confusion, but found that her mother was holding a bamboo skewer in a daze.

"Huh?" Wang Qifang came back to her senses, met her daughter's aggrieved eyes, and hurriedly smiled: "Oh, it's all bad for my mother, I forgot about Yuan Niang."

quickly inserted a piece of fresh peaches and stuffed it into the little girl's little mouth affectionately...... Wait, last time Yuan Niang seemed to say that the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother were not good people, could it be that Yuan Niang also discovered the conspiracy of the eldest young master to hollow out the Zhao family?

It's impossible, Yuan Niang is only five years old, a little little bean ding, Rao is precocious, and it is impossible to have such a scheming.

Faintly, Wang Qifang seemed to feel that she didn't know anything about this sensible daughter.

"Also," Qingfeng saw that Wang Qifang understood what he meant, and continued to report: "The second young master has finished harvesting cotton, and he also went to Qingzhou to borrow workers, and he is rushing back at the moment." ”

"Second Young Master is back?" So fast?

Wang Qifang's mood suddenly became very bad, when Zhao Tianqing asked her to ask for the weaving, printing and dyeing technology of Qingzhou triangular cloth, she denied that the technology belonged to Wu and Qianniang, and she had no right to call the shots. However, seeing that Zhao Tianqing's face became ugly, she proposed that she could help repair a letter for the two technicians and plead for him.

Of course, Wang Qifang didn't want to be so cheap for him, and after Zhao Tianqing left with the letter, she hurriedly sent a message to the two brothers, her uncle and Li Jingkuo, asking them to stop Zhao Tianqing, and then make a decision after she and the third princess were involved.

Now, she and the third princess have indeed got into a relationship, but the matter of cotton has not yet been discussed, why did her uncle send Zhao Tianqing back? And let him take the mechanic? Didn't they get their own letter?

Mama Zhao saw that Wang Qifang's face was not good, and hurriedly instructed Mama Sun to take Yuan Niang away.

"Qi Niang, you are still the second young grandmother, even if you don't want to see the second young master again, you can't show it on your face," there were only two of them left in the room, and Mama Zhao sat next to Wang Qifang and said in a low voice: "Or, when the second young master comes back, let Zisu serve him?" ”

"No," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao would mistake her intentions, and she didn't correct it, she shook her head, "When Zhao Tianqing comes back, let's lead him to Aunt Su's, hmph, she is pregnant and restless, and she hasn't settled accounts with her about the birthday banquet yet, and she has begun to spread rumors again." Okay, then I'll give you two plays, and when my own personal girl becomes a good 'sister', I'll see how loyal some people are."

Since it's not the time to clean up the main master, let's beat her minions first and see how many days she can stave
