Chapter Twenty-Three: A Slap in the Face
"Xiangye, what you said, the concubine didn't dare to agree, when did Ying'er become a person who was close to her, Ying'er is obviously the lucky star of the family, because of Ying'er, the old lady's illness has been cured, because of Ying'er, our Xiangfu has a woman who can work in the palace." Without waiting for palet to refute Xiangye's words, the second lady stood up.
"Sister, what you said is not right, you shouldn't be fascinated by palet, if it weren't for palet's bad life, then she should have married into the palace, not become an apprentice of the imperial doctor." Xu Mei disagreed with the second lady's words.
"You are not allowed to say that the eldest sister's life is not good, you are not allowed to say it! You vicious woman, it's obviously you, it's you who hurt my third sister, how can you splash dirty water on the eldest sister, the eldest sister is pitiful enough. Ziyue on the side couldn't stand Xu Mei's reversal of black and white, and shouted the truth directly at Xu Mei.
After Ziyue finished yelling, the entire dining room was silent.
"Smack" Xiangye's slap ended the silence.
"Eldest sister, are you okay?" Ziyue looked at the palet who stopped in front of her, her eyes were red, and tears could fall in the next second.
"It's fine." Palet pinched Ziyue's face, this cheap dad can really get her hands on it, palet felt a hot pain in her back.
If this slap is on Ziyue's face, the good little girl is estimated to be disfigured.
Xiangye looked at Ziyue's face, and the dissatisfaction on his face became more and more intense, "Ziyue, now apologize to your aunt!" "Xiangye is a little exhausted at this time, why are his daughters so ignorant except for Yinyin!
"Dad, why does the fourth sister apologize, why is the person who tells the truth wrong? Doctor, you tell Xiangye, what kind of disease does my third sister have! Palet turned around and looked directly at Xiangye.
When the doctor heard the roll call, he coughed twice tiredly, and then looked at Xiangye.
Xiangye glanced at palet and then at the doctor, his brows furrowed very tightly, "Say." ”
When the doctor heard that Xiang Ye was approved, he hurriedly said everything he knew, "Xiang Ye, the third lady has dysentery, and the reason why she got this disease is because she ate the wrong thing, that is, she ate this shrimp and pumpkin, these two ingredients cannot be eaten together, and the ingredients are compatible." ”
After the doctor finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood aside obediently, not speaking.
After hearing this, Xiangye looked at palet, "What does this have to do with your aunt?" ”
When palet heard Xiang Ye ask, she endured the disgust in her heart and said, "Today's ingredients were all sent by the eldest mother, and the eldest lady said that shrimp and pumpkin can be eaten together." ”
Xiang Ye listened to Palet's words and looked at the people around him, "What Palet said is true?" ”
Xu Mei didn't expect things to develop to this point, but fortunately, she was also prepared, "Xiangye, this ingredient was indeed sent by me, but I definitely didn't say that shrimp and pumpkin can be eaten together." Xu Mei planned to die and refused to admit it.
"Xu Mei, how can you say such a thing, do you dare to swear?" When the second lady heard Xu Mei say this, her voice trembled a little.
Swear? Xu Mei hesitated a little, but when she saw Xiangye's eyes looking at her, she raised her hand, "Why don't I dare to swear, I Xu Mei swear here today, I definitely never said that shrimp and pumpkin can be eaten together, if so, the sky will thunder." ”
In the last four words, Xu Mei's voice is obviously quieter.
Her reaction, Xiangye noticed it, and Hua Yinyin also noticed it, so she can't be smarter!
