Chapter 22: The Angry Old Lady
"Lord Luoxue, why are you here?" The colt looked at the woman and bowed her hand.
The eldest princess and the others obviously didn't expect to see a woman here, and they all showed a look of surprise on their faces, but King Yi's eyes were not on the woman, but fell on He Hailan's body, seeing that He Hailan was breathing steadily, the corners of his mouth quietly hooked a shallow arc.
Luo Xue smiled slightly, noticing King Yi's gaze, she looked at He Hailan who was lying on the chair and said, "The matter in the Golden Scale Guard, I wanted to come to talk to the eldest prince about it, but I didn't expect to see a woman floating in the lake, and Xia Guan rescued the person." β
Luo Xue is the deputy commander of the Golden Scale Guard, and Grand Prince Chen also has an idle position in the Golden Scale Guard... It's just that the deputy commander is looking for a little shrimp to talk about? Although this reason sounds far-fetched, the eldest princess and the others are not easy to say.
Seeing that King Yi raised his eyebrows, Luo Xue's face did not change, and continued, "Originally, I wanted to send people to Shuntian Mansion, but I thought that the eldest princess's mansion would hold a lotus banquet today, and this girl might be the noble daughter of which family, so I sent people over." β
When the eldest princess heard this, she said gratefully, "This is indeed the fifth lady of the Jin'an Hou Mansion who accidentally fell into the lake, and Lord Luo Xue has done our eldest princess a great favor today." β
"With a show of effort, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't have to say thank you." Luo Xue glanced at He Hailan again and said, "It's just that this girl is afraid that she will have to change the wet clothes on her body first, and then ask the doctor to come and take a look." β
β¦β¦
Because of He Hailan's matter, the lotus banquet in the eldest princess's mansion could not be done, after finding He Hailan, all the nobles also got up to say goodbye, and the county lord of Xici was also frightened today, and after sending the guests away listlessly, he turned around and went back to the house.
He Haiyun's hanging heart finally fell, and he was carried back to the guest room, and after personally changing He Hailan's clothes, he quickly asked someone to carry He Hailan back to the Marquis of Jin'an.
He Haiyao and He Haixing, brother and sister, went home first to explain the situation.
In Cuihe Garden, Mrs. He heard that He Hailan fell into the lake, and her hand holding the teacup shook, she put the teacup on the top of the table, and looked at the brothers and sisters with a calm face, "Where is Hailan?" β
"If you go back to your grandmother, Hailan and the second sister are together, and they should come back in a while." He Haixing knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake in a low voice, "It's all because the starfish is not good, I didn't take good care of the fifth sister, please ask my grandmother to punish me." β
And He Qingfeng and He Qingtang are a little puzzled, usually when they encounter this kind of thing, don't grandmothers ask what is going on first? How could my grandmother care about the fifth sister's body first?
The two brothers glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Old Madam He looked at the expressions of her brothers and sisters, and after a while, she pointed at He Qingfeng and said, "When you go out, eldest brother is like a father, you should take care of your younger brothers and sisters, what's going on today, you can tell me." β
He Qingfeng, who was innocently lying on the gun, took a step forward, helped He Haixing up, and told him about today's events, of course, he didn't know the specific details and didn't say anything, probably said that He Haiyao fell into the lake, He Hailan was in a hurry, and he jumped into the lake to save people, but then he was physically exhausted and fell into the lake again...
Old Madam He listened to He Qingfeng's words, and looked at He Haiyao coldly, "Do you know that you are wrong?" β
He Haiyao held her hands tightly, at this time she had already changed into clean clothes, her hands were hidden in her sleeves, no one could see her hands, she nodded, "Haiyao knows her mistake." β
"What's wrong with you?" Old Madam He looked at He Haiyao with a cold voice.
He Haiyao hung her head: "Haiyao shouldn't go to the second sister to talk, it caused the fifth sister to fall into the lake." β
"Nonsense!" Old Madam He heard He Haiyao's words, her face sank a little, she looked at He Haiyao, her face was cold, "What do you mean you shouldn't talk to your second sister?" It's your mistake that you don't look like a lady when you're out of the house! Is this how the Hou Mansion taught you the rules? β
He Haiyao raised her eyes to look at Mrs. He, her eyes were slightly red, Mrs. He saw her tears, and her heart was even more angry, what she hated most was to pretend to be a poor person at every turn! If you encounter a problem, you can't solve it well, and you only know how to escape! Cover up your responsibilities with tears!
"You're still crying?" Old Madam He's face was slightly gloomy, "You go to your second sister to talk, you can ask the maid in the eldest princess's mansion to send you over, you also have your own maid to take with you, what are you running around in the garden of someone else's mansion?" What a system! β
At this time, several ladies who heard the news walked in from outside, and everyone heard that Mrs. He was reprimanding He Haiyao, so they paused and walked inside.
Yao scolded He Haiyao in her heart, and couldn't help but blame He Hailan, she said that He Hailan was a harmful spirit! I hurt her before, and now I hurt her daughter!
Is... Why didn't she die directly in the lake above the eldest princess's mansion!
"Old lady, Hai Yao didn't mean to fall into the lake..."Yao stood up and said in a low voice, "Besides, no one wants Hai Lan to jump down to save Hai Yao, wasn't there a man at that time?" If He Hailan doesn't save it, someone will save it. β
Hearing Yao's words, Cao's eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of contempt.
I'm afraid this Yao is confused.
If it wasn't He Hailan who rescued He Haiyao today, I'm afraid that He Haiyao's reputation would be ruined today, if the person who saved He Haiyao today was a person with an outstanding family background, then it's okay, just get married, but if...
No, what if the other party's family background is good and good-looking, but they already have a fiancΓ©e?
Wouldn't He Haiyao have a reputation for seducing someone else's fiancΓ© or having a martyrdom with a man who has a fiancΓ©e?
Tsk, I have to say, this Yao is really a fool.
Sure enough, as soon as Yao's words were finished, the teacup in Mrs. He's hand had already been thrown to the ground by her, and Mrs. He looked at Yao with a disgusted face, "It's because of you that you can't teach your daughter well!" How many years has the third child been out, and how old are the children? You still hold a grudge against Hailan! Besides, Hailan was also an unintentional mistake back then, you have hated a child for so many years, I have thought about you wronged all these years, and I have never said you, but you have become even more indistinguishable from right and wrong! β
Yao didn't expect Mrs. He to say such heavy things to her, and she was stunned for being scolded at the moment, she looked up at Mrs. He in disbelief and said, "Mother! If it weren't for her unintentional mistake that pushed me into the lake, I wouldn't have been separated from my master for so many years! Hai Yao and they won't not be able to see their father for so many years, and they will also grow up by their own father by their father's side! β
"You're justified!" Old Madam He looked at Yao coldly, her eyes were low, "Hai Yao, they will follow them to Nanling, and when they come back again, do you think it will be easy to integrate into the circle of this capital?" Back then, even if you followed the third child to Nanling, when the third child settled down, you had to return to the capital for me! β
She never thought of leaving the third child in Nanling all the time.
Yao listened to Mrs. He's words, tears kept rolling in her eyes, Mrs. He looked at Yao's appearance, and said in a deep voice, "If a man saved the three girls today, does she still want her own reputation?" The reputation of our Jin'an Hou Mansion is going to be ruined by her! You should be grateful to the five girls, she saved the three girls! β
Yao opened his mouth and wanted to speak, He Haiyao stretched out his hand to hold Yao, signaling Yao to stop talking, He Haiyao didn't pull it, it was okay if He Haiyao didn't pull it, as soon as he pulled Yao's, Yao's face changed instantly, and she sprinkled all her anger on He Haiyao at the moment, and she slapped He Haiyao on the face, "Is this how I taught you the rules?" Your father isn't at home, you're not a good person, do you really not want me to live? β
