Chapter 35 Xingshi asks for guilt
"What?" Qian was drinking tea in the room, and when he heard Chu Xiangyu's shout, he broke the teacup in his hand as soon as he missed.
Chu Xiangyu pushed open the door of the Qian family's house, was out of breath, and half-bent over and said to the Qian family, "Mother...... Mother, what should we do now? β
"I really didn't expect Chu Qingtang to really climb this Anning County Lord, and now I'm afraid that this Anning County will help Chu Qingtang get ahead." Qian gritted his teeth a little.
"Mother, what should we do now? The county lord helped Chu Qingtang to come out, we are afraid-" Chu Xiangyu was a little scared, feeling that he would definitely be implicated if this matter was revealed.
"Shut up! How many times have I said that if you want to call me mother, you must know that you are not the same as those young ladies from small families! Also, you don't know about it. It's all about your eldest sister and me. Qian looked at his daughter, who hated iron but not steel, and said angrily.
"Yes...... Mother. Chu Xiangyu saw that her mother was angry, and she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to stand aside obediently.
"Auntie, now is not the time to be angry with my sister, now what we have to do is how to deal with this matter." Chu Xiangyue walked out, with an elegant posture as if she had come out of a painting.
"Xiangyue, what should we do now, I'm afraid this matter can't be contained." Qian looked at this excellent daughter, felt relieved, and asked her.
"Auntie can't admit this." Chu Xiangyue said softly.
"What you said is a mother, and you also understand, seeing the matter of handing over the news to the public, but whipping Chu Qingtang......." Qian Shi was a little inclined to speak and stopped.
"What! Aunt actually beat Chu Qingtang yesterday? Auntie, you're really confused! Chu Xiangyue looked at Qian with some surprise.
"It's not that Chu Qingtang who provoked me, I just wanted to give her two slaps." Qiansheng's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he didn't have any confidence in facing his daughter.
Chu Xiangyue looked at her mother a little speechlessly, and after being silent for a while, she said, "Auntie, I'm afraid this matter really won't be able to protect you." You are really confused, you know that the so-called county lord of Anning may come today, just hit it twice, why do you still use a whip? β
Qian couldn't speak clearly for a while, but heard a maid outside the door say to the house: "Aunt Qian, the master is invited." β
Qian looked at Chu Xiangyue for help, and Chu Xiangyue saw that her mother was like this, so she just sighed, and leaned over to whisper a few words to Qian.
After hearing this, Qian's eyes also became bright, and he took Chu Xiangyue's hand and said, "Xiangyue is really a good daughter of her mother." β
Chu Xiangyue wanted to say something, but the maid outside the door urged again: "Aunt Qian, the master is invited." β
When Qian Shi heard this, he scratched his head and walked out, and his voice responded in a slightly delicate tone: "It's coming, it's coming." β
......
When Ji Yueqin dragged Chu Qingtang to the hall, Chu Qingtang's face was already pale like a blank piece of paper, not only because of the pain, but also because of the consequences after this.
Going with Ji Yueqin like this, I am afraid that it will cause more revenge from the Qian family, Chu Qingtang himself is weak in this Chu Mansion, and he can't rely on Ji Yueqin to help him every time.
Nan Xuanyu and Chu Huaizhi were chatting in the hall when they saw Ji Yueqin pulling Chu Qingtang into the hall violently.
"Lord Chu, although I can't take care of your family affairs, I'm afraid I still want you to give an explanation to the county lord." Ji Yueqin looked at Chu Huaizhi coldly.
Chu Huaizhi didn't understand what Ji Yueqin meant, but asked in a panicked manner, "Why did Lord Anning say this?" β
Ji Yueqin didn't say anything, but quietly pulled Chu Qingtang's sleeves apart, only to see scarlet whip marks displayed on Chu Qingtang's snow-white skin, which couldn't help but make people shocked.
Chu Qingtang was afraid of his father's blame, but with tears in his eyes, he shouted straight at Chu Huai: "Father-"
In fact, Chu Huaizhi never cared about the affairs of the backyard, so he also looked at the scars on Chu Qingtang's body and frowned.
"Qingtang, these wounds ......" Chu Huaizhi didn't say the latter words, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Master-" A delicate voice sounded, making Nan Xuanyu and Ji Yueqin frown.
I saw Qian's heavy makeup and glamorous walk in, with a strong smell of fat powder, which choked Ji Yueqin's whole little face wrinkled.
"Presumptuous! Don't hurry up and say hello to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the county lord! Chu Huai saw that Qian was like this, and he was also dissatisfied.
Hearing Chu Huai's voice, the Qian family immediately turned to the direction of Nan Xuanyu and Ji Yueqin and saluted: "The concubine Qian family has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the county lord. β
Nan Xuanyu glanced at Ji Yueqin, and when he saw Ji Yueqin like this, he didn't make a sound to let Qian get up.
"Lord Chu, the aunt in your house is really good at putting on a score, and she doesn't bow when she sees her daughter-in-law?" Ji Yueqin just smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
"Why don't you salute quickly, why are you stunned there?" Chu Huai saw Ji Yueqin say this, and he also felt that the Qian family had saved his face, and said coldly.
When the Qian family heard Ji Yueqin's words, his face turned pale, and he stiffly saluted Chu Qingtang: "The concubine Qian has seen the eldest lady." "God knows that the Qian family is reluctant to salute Chu Qingtang, but because of the county lord and the prince, they also have to salute Chu Qingtang.
Chu Qingtang was a little stunned, since his mother died, the Qian family had never saluted himself again, and now he relied on Ji Yueqin to let the Qian family salute himself again.
Only then did Nan Xuanyu open his mouth to let Qian get up, "Get up." β
"Masterββ, why did you call your concubine over?" Qian's delicate voice exploded in everyone's ears, except for Chu Huaizhi, I am afraid that everyone present feels uncomfortable.
"Let me ask you, what's the whip mark on Qingtang's hand?" Although Chu Huaizhi spoiled his concubine, now that the county lord of Anning was here, he didn't dare to be too biased with the Qian family.
As soon as Qian heard Chu Huaizhi's words, he took out his handkerchief and began to cry.
"Master, how dare the concubine beat the eldest lady, but yesterday the eldest lady did that kind of immoral thing, and the concubine was also a last resort......" Qian choked his voice, covering his face as if Xizi was weeping.
Qian was proud in her heart, her words could be said to have directly belittled Chu Qingtang as a daughter who did not abide by women's morals, and in front of the county lord of An Ning and the prince, she saw what this Chu Qingtang could do.
Chu Huaizhi's face immediately darkened when he heard Qian's words, and Chu Qingtang's face turned white in an instant. The atmosphere suddenly became condensed, no one spoke, and only the sound of Qian sobbing remained in the air.
"That's enough, you give me a stop." Chu Huaizhi was also a little upset when he heard the voice of the Qian family sobbing and accommodating, this Qian family said these words in front of the prince and the county lord, didn't he clearly show that he hit him Chu Huaizhi's face.
He angrily swept the money style that was pumped and matched, and Chu Qingtang, who was pulled by Ji Yueqin, secretly scolded these two women who made him embarrassed.
Chu Huaizhi was about to say something but was interrupted by Ji Yueqin's voice, "Brother Yu, the aunt of Lord Chu's family is so powerful, not only can she enforce family law on her own eldest lady, but she is also sharp-toothed!" β
Nan Xuanyu looked at Ji Yueqin's seemingly harmless smile, and knew that she wanted to help Chu Qingtang breathe a sigh of relief, so he looked at Chu Huaizhi meaningfully.
Chu Huai listened to Ji Yueqin's words, and his face showed a little embarrassment, he coughed twice and said, "This ...... Don't be surprised by the county lord, Weichen is busy with political affairs, which is not strict with the backyard, which makes the two laugh. β
Ji Yueqin looked at Chu Huaizhi innocently, and said softly: "Lord Chu, how could An Ning laugh at your lord, An Ning just doesn't understand that my aunt is also very powerful in your house!" β
When Chu Huaizhi heard Ji Yueqin's words, his face sank, and Qian Shi looked at Chu Huaizhi's dark and calm face, his face was also pale, and she was already coated with thick fat powder, which made her look even more scary.
"I know that I will be embarrassed, and I will apologize to the county lord of Anning!" Chu Huaizhi shouted angrily at the Qian family, although the Qian family was unwilling, but he did not dare to disobey Chu Huaizhi's words, so he had to kneel down and kowtow to Ji Yueqin to confess.
"Why do you say that? This Aunt Qian didn't offend me, so why should she be guilty? The confession should also be to admit the mistake to Qingtang. Ji Yueqin just showed a faint smile and looked straight at Chu Huaizhi.
Chu Huaizhi has been rolling in the court for so many years, and it is common to observe words and looks, and when Ji Yueqin said this, he also understood that it was the county lord of Anning who clearly came to Chu Qingtang.
He didn't speak, and the Qian family gritted her teeth, but because of the presence of the county lord of An Ning and the prince, she had to admit her mistake to Chu Qingtang.
"Eldest Miss, it's the concubine who has trespassed, the concubine is just an aunt in the house, and she shouldn't torture the eldest lady, let alone use family law because the eldest lady and the prince of the Wang family met in private......" Qian seemed to repent, but in fact, the words were all aimed at Chu Qingtang.
The more Chu Qingtang listened, the paler his face became, because the wound was a little infected, he himself was a little vain, and now he almost fainted.
Ji Yueqin gently supported Chu Qingtang, her eyes squinted slightly at the Qian family, sure enough, this aunt can get Chu Huaizhi's favor, not just relying on her own fox methods, but with some ability.
Indeed, Ji Yueqin's approach can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, she can only protect Chu Qingtang for a while, but she can't protect Chu Qingtang I. Now that Qian said this, if he helped Chu Qingtang speak again, it would be a confirmation of Chu Qingtang's disobedience to women's morals, which would only make Chu Qingtang even more unhappy, and he would have a bad reputation.
Ji Yueqin thought about it carefully and had some clarity in her heart, but said coldly to the Qian family: "Aunt Qian's words mean that Qingtang does not abide by women's morals? Do you know that slandering Miss Chang is guilty of seven crimes? Such a lost woman is ugly in Lord Chu's house, and it's not easy to say anything about Anning, Aunt Qian has to think about it, but don't insult the Chu family. β
Ji Yueqin's tone was cold, which made the Qian family feel shocked when he heard it, but said in a trembling voice: "The county lord is wronged, and the concubine can say that everything is true!" β
