Chapter 116: The Farmer and the Snake
Aunt Ruan saw that the old lady's eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, and the fear in her heart became bigger and bigger, as if she wanted to grasp the last straw, she knelt and moved in front of Xia Qianwei.
"Third Miss, begging the old lady for the concubine, this maid was found by Miss Seven for stealing the property in my house, so she made up such a lie with a grudge, those injuries on her body were punished by the concubine, Miss Seven is really innocent, she has always respected Miss Three, how could she make such a ......"
Before she could finish speaking, the little maid on the side anxiously grabbed the words, "Miss Seven has always held a grudge against Miss Third because of the injury on her face, and she is extremely dissatisfied with the relatives that the old lady is looking for her, so she is still fighting with Miss Eight in the courtyard, and the people in the courtyard can testify!"
"Shut up, you eat inside and out, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"
Xia Le didn't care about anything else at this time, so he was angry and rushed towards the little girl, but he was stopped in time by the family next to him.
Xia Qianwei really didn't expect that this family affair between herself and the old lady that she had been thinking about for many days would become the fuse of everything today, and when she looked at Xia Le again, there was no half a minute of temperature in her eyes.
Not to mention that face, with such a temperament, if you marry into a high gate as a concubine, it will only cause countless troubles to the General's Mansion, then Liu Gongzi is famous for his good temper, I didn't expect Xia Le's appetite to be so big, so self-aware, a person who repays virtue with grievances, there is really no need to give her another chance!
Aunt Du, who has been neglected recently, has gathered in the crowd to watch the excitement at some point, and she can't help but smile at this moment, "This seventh miss has been raised so well, she dares to be presumptuous in front of the old lady!
Recently, Aunt Ruan has taken over the power of the Wen family, and from time to time she shows off her power outside Aunt Du's courtyard, for fear that the other party will not know that in addition to the third lady Xia Qianwei in the general's mansion, she is the most beautiful person.
And in the past, the two were jealous and intrigued, and Aunt Du was slightly better because she had an extra son.
Aunt Ruan finally raised her eyebrows and exhaled once, this time she used the power in her hands to suppress Aunt Du's room, and now that Xia Le has been arrested, how can Aunt Du not take advantage of this time to step on a few feet?
Xia Le, who was held down, couldn't help but be stunned, and then glared in Xia Qing's direction in disbelief, "You, you actually ......"
However, Xia Qing's face was full of the usual caution and cowardice, and she replied apologetically, "My sister is also thinking about the seventh sister, don't make mistakes again and again!"
The old lady was so angry by the farce in front of her that her chest rose and fell violently, and she couldn't help coughing, but fortunately, Mama Lei helped her, and she relieved her breath after a long time and looked at Chun Nuan.
"The family is unfortunate! Let your mansion smile, the matter has come to this point, my Xia family no longer has this daughter, I want to kill or chop, but it is up to your mansion to deal with it!"
When Aunt Ruan heard this, she almost fainted, she tearfully pulled Xia Qianwei's skirt and begged for mercy, "It's all concubines who can't be disciplined, but Miss Seven is still young, and the county lord has not been seriously injured, begging Miss Third to plead in front of the old lady, spare Miss Seven this time!"
Everyone didn't expect that the matter had come to this, Aunt Ruan still didn't repent and said such a thing, Xia Le broke through such a catastrophe, fortunately, the county lord is fine, otherwise, the entire Xia Mansion will probably have to be buried for the county lord! Miss Seven will become what she is now, I am afraid that Aunt Ruan has the greatest responsibility!
At this moment, Xia Le was really scared, her grandmother actually wanted to hand her over to the Zhenguo Mansion for disposal?
She couldn't care about the resentment in her heart anymore, and looked at Xia Qianwei begging for mercy, "Third sister, my sister won't dare in the future!" No, otherwise my sister will also go to Lei Ruo Temple to copy the scriptures and repent, and beg the third sister not to let her grandmother hand over her sister to the Zhenguo Mansion......"
She also wants to go to Lei Ruo Temple?
The last time everyone only thought it was an accident, so Xia Qianwei was not heavily punished, but now that the little county lord was injured, she deliberately did it, how could the General's Mansion tolerate it?
"Third Miss, the concubine begs you, the concubine begs you!"
Aunt Ruan actually kowtowed heavily to Xia Qianwei, she knew that only Xia Qianwei had the ability to maneuver in this matter.
Xia Qing didn't know when she saw her aunt knocking blood on her forehead, she bit her lip and turned her head away to look at it again, and couldn't help but think in her heart that if it was herself, would her aunt be so desperate to protect her?
Xia Qianwei's eyes flickered slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before she slowly took a step forward and stood in front of the old lady in Aunt Ruan's expectant gaze.
"Grandmother, this is a big matter, it is better to lock the seventh sister in the Siguo room first, and after the father returns home, then take the seventh sister to the front of the general of Zhenguo to plead guilty, so that it can be seen that our Xia family is sincere. β
Aunt Du's eyes were full of smiles, this Aunt Ruan is really a fool, she actually thought that the third miss would intercede for them, even if she really had this heart, she shouldn't mention it in front of the people in the Zhenguo Mansion, besides, they really regarded the third miss as the reincarnation of a bodhisattva?
"Third and third miss, no, don't ......" Sure enough, Aunt Ruan raised her head with trembling lips, her eyes full of despair, weren't they on the same boat? According to the general's temper, her unfavored daughter was really bound to die! And before she died, she had to go to the cold meditation room to be tortured!
However, everyone didn't know that Xia Qianwei really left a glimmer of life for Aunt Ruan's daughter's sake, and used this seemingly inconspicuous delaying tactic.
If the old lady handed over Xia Qing to the people of the Zhenguo Mansion today, it would be equivalent to the Xia family completely giving up this concubine, and the Zhenguo Mansion would never have any concerns.
But when Xia Yihai comes back, it will be different, Xia Qianwei expected that he would personally bring people to the door to make amends in order to take care of the overall situation, but General Zhenguo is famous for his love and righteousness, and if he looks at this matter with his vision and pattern, he will definitely leave a little face for Xia Yihai, who has followed him, and he will not really care about a little girl.
If there is a case, it is Xia Le's life.
"No, I'm not going to think about it! Aunt save meβ......"
Xia Le's mouth was immediately firmly blocked, and the old lady coldly withdrew her gaze from the mother and daughter, and groaned, "Let's do it, please wait a few days in your mansion, our Xia family will definitely give a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
Chun Nuan restrained her expression, and she immediately saluted respectfully, "The slave and maid thanked Mrs. Xia for her uprightness on behalf of the little county lord." β
......
Aunt Ruan was brought back to Shuangshu Courtyard by the family in the old lady's courtyard.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Qing took a bowl of shock tea from the dining room and came back, "Auntie, take a sip first......"
didn't wait for her to speak, only to hear a crisp sound, Aunt Ruan, who was originally sitting on the chair, suddenly rushed over and slapped her hard, Xia Qing was immediately knocked off, the porcelain bowl in her hand was also shattered, and the tea splashed all over her skirt.
"Unfilial daughter, your seventh sister is right, following that Xia Qianwei, you have become so ruthless and unrighteous!"
