.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn Gaomen pet daughter-in-law!
Wang Qu paused, and a gentle smile appeared on his face again, "I should have asked the little princess to say goodbye, but now that your mansion is busy, the slave will not talk to the little princess, and ask Mrs. Li to say hello to the little princess on behalf of the slave." β
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the flower hall as if he were nothing, and said meaningfully, "The rumors stop at the wise." The slave has always heard that Mrs. Li is a tolerant and good character, so you can use this farce as a laughing stock, and make the after-dinner fun of the New Year's Festival, and give you and the little princess a fun after dinner. β
Xie's temper is famous, Wang Qu is pretending to "praise" Xie, but in fact, it is intended to remind the guests present that if they don't want to offend the Qianwang Mansion and the Li Mansion, how to speak when they go out of this door, they should carefully weigh and weigh clearly.
Everyone couldn't understand where they could not understand, and they couldn't sit still anymore, so they hurriedly echoed the words, and left their seats one after another to say goodbye.
Seeing everyone's attitude of seeing the wind and making the rudder, Xie Shi sneered disdainfully in his heart, threw a grateful look at Wang Qu, and despite his concession, he still personally sent Wang Qu to the second gate.
Wang Qu came and went quickly, like a whirlwind, clearing up the rumors about knee pads in the past few days, and also taking away a group of guests whose tone had changed greatly.
As soon as the various carriages and sedan chairs left, the noisy Li Mansion returned to calm.
Xie put away the light smile when he sent off the guests, and pointed to the two big girls with a cold face, "Clean up the banquet in the flower hall, go and invite Li Fu to come in, and summon all the people in the inner and outer courtyards to the flower hall to listen to the training, what do you want to say, you go and discuss with Li Fu." β
The Xie family is strict, but he can't control everyone's mouths, he deliberately let his subordinates talk about rumors, so that he can find out the source of the fanning the flames, and now Mrs. Liu and others have been arrested, and Wang Qu has gone this way, and it is time to purge the people in the mansion.
The two big girls understood and took their orders away.
Xie took the other two big maids who stayed by his side, ordered a few more rough envoys, and went straight to Qingfeng Courtyard.
Not only did her mood not turn bad because of the farce, but it was light and meaningless.
This kind of thing involving the private teaching and reputation of men and women, the woman can't afford to clarify half a sentence when the woman says a hundred words, and now that the Qianwangfu has personally refuted the rumors, why does she need to bother to do superfluous things?
Get twice the result with half the effort, since she saves trouble, she will concentrate on curing the trouble-making little ghosts in Qingfeng Courtyard!
Qingfeng Courtyard was originally remote, and Mother Yang was watching it herself, and she didn't know what was going on in the flower hall in front of her.
As soon as I heard the mother-in-law who was guarding the door report that the Xie family was surrounded by the maids and mothers-in-law, Chunhua and Qiuyue hurriedly greeted the upper room, and asked for guilt while saluting, "The fourth lady forgive me, Miss accidentally sprained her foot when changing clothes, so she had to come back first to deal with the injury, Miss Juan was giving Miss medicine and wine and couldn't separate herself, so she had to let the slaves and maids come to welcome you......"
After Chunhua said, Qiuyue glanced at Xie's expression, and said boldly, "When Miss came back, I found out that Mother Yang had put Mother Liu and a few mothers-in-law who were not Qingfeng Courtyard into the back firewood room and watched, I don't know what Mother Liu did to make Mrs. unhappy, and she was worried about it at this time......
Li Miao's foot sprained in time.
Xie raised his eyebrows, ignored Qiu Yue's words, and walked past the two of them.
Chunhua and Qiuyue glanced at each other, and couldn't detect Xie's joy and anger, so they had to hurriedly follow the left and right and lift the door curtain high, and when Xie and the others entered the house, the two paused and stood at the door, constantly looking at the gate of the courtyard.
The room was filled with the peculiar smell of massage and medicinal wine.
Li Miao put down her skirt to cover her injured foot, pulled Li Juan Fuli with a red face, and said with shame and self-blame, "It's all to blame for me accidentally spraining my foot while walking, and I failed to live up to the kindness of the fourth uncle and aunt to bring our sisters, and failed to help the fourth uncle and aunt entertain the guests, and I ask the fourth uncle and aunt to forgive me." β
Li Juan held the porcelain bottle of medicine and wine, and spoke for Li Miao with a sweet smile, "Fourth uncle, don't blame Sister A, this is the good medicine we brought from the clan, and Sister A's feet will be fine after two days, and when the time comes, you can ask my sister to help you entertain the director, and I will also help!" β
After a hurried glance, Li Miao's foot was indeed sprained, and her ankle was swollen red and high.
If Li Miao did it on purpose, she hated herself at a young age.
A smile tugged at the corner of Xie's mouth, and he sat down noncommittally, raising his eyelids at one of the big girls beside him.
The eldest girl took out the knee pads that Wang Qu had returned, and motioned to Li Miao, "Miss Miao, can you recognize this pair of indigo knee pads?" β
Li Miao recognized at a glance that it was her who made it.
But shouldn't this knee pad be in Xiao Hanqian's hands, how could it be in Xie's hands?
Xie Shi came to Qingfeng Courtyard with knee pads, could it be ...... Could it be that Xiao Hanqian came to the door in person?
Li Miao's heart was beating rapidly, and she did not hide her surprise and doubts, and whispered, "This, this is the knee pad I made for my fourth uncle...... How could it be here with the fourth uncle? β
Li Juan stood on tiptoe and glanced at it, also showing doubts, tightly tugging on Li Miao's cuffs, and cautiously said to Xie Shi, "Fourth uncle, Sister Ah made knee pads for you, Fourth Uncle and Cousin Yingge, but I was in a hurry, and on the night of the twenty-ninth year, I only came to hand over you and Cousin Yingge to Cousin Yingge for handover, and I thought that at that night, Cousin Yingge and Sister A would not be able to talk to the fourth uncle to rest......
Li Miao's face changed slightly when she heard this, and her expression showed weakness and pettiness, and she said, "I was going to go and give it to the fourth uncle when I asked for peace, but Mother Liu asked for a knee pad when she heard it, saying that it was the little maid in the aunt's yard who transferred it to the fourth uncle for me......"
In and out of the words, the two sisters were picked up and cleaned, and they all pushed it on Mrs. Liu's head.
looks like she was suppressed by Mrs. Liu, and she couldn't be the master.
How could Xie Shi not hear the sound of their words, watching them sing and harmonize, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he didn't bother to play tricks with them, and looked at the big girl again.
This big girl was the one who bumped into Li Miao in the ear room that night, and when she received Xie's eyes, she sneered and said, "Who did Miss Miao's knee pads end up in the hands of, didn't Mother Liu tell Miss Miao?" The slave asked the little maid who was in charge of tea in the ear room on Chinese New Year's Eve, and after Mother Liu finished talking to the old man, she hurriedly touched the ear room and talked to Miss Miao for a while. β
Li Miao was not afraid that she and Mrs. Liu were talking in the ear room to be discovered, and when she heard this, her face was even more empty, and she said in shame, "I don't dare to hide it from the fourth uncle, I also found out afterwards that the fourth uncle actually gave the knee pad to His Royal Highness the Qianwang, and after learning about it that night, I begged Liu's mother to come forward and ask the fourth uncle to help me ask for it back......"
"Fourth uncle, I have also heard one or two rumors in the house in the past few days, this is not my intention, and I can't afford this reputation of private teaching, not to mention, not to mention that His Royal Highness King Qianwang is the fiancΓ© of Yingge's cousin!" Li Miao knew that since the Xie family came to ask for the crime, she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know about the rumors, and immediately made a ruinous appearance, knelt down and said, "Please ask the fourth uncle and aunt to be the master for me and my niece!" β
Her face turned pale, the corners of her eyes were red, two lines of tears slipped silently, and she bit her lip and said in a trembling voice, "It doesn't matter how famous my niece is, I can't just because of this mistake, but I am tired of my cousin Yingge and the reputation of my fourth uncle, and my niece is willing to be responsible for this matter!" β
