CHAPTER XXI
After staying in the palace of King Yu for a few days, Ye Li either read books or went to the martial arts arena to learn from others, and King Yu took his little princess to play the palace all over the palace.
Although the brother and sister are a little reluctant, but Yu Wangfu is not their own home after all, after a few days, Ye Li took Ye Qian back to Hou's Mansion, when leaving, Ye Li borrowed a few books on the art of war, Ye Qian brought a large basket of cherries, the last time was trampled on the crushed, she was still a little sad, as a result, these days Yu Wang sent cherries to her yard every day, and she had to bring them when she left.
The wound on Lu Fei's face was almost healed, and when she saw Ye Qian and Bai Zhen coming back, she greeted her happily, "Girl, you don't know, the three girls are about to make a fuss, crying and making trouble every day, everything in the house is smashed, and they are cruel to clean up the maids in our yard." β
Bai Zhen tugged at her, "Be careful, you will be heard arranging the three girls, and you can't eat and walk around." β
"I'll just say it in our yard, and I won't go outside." Lu Fei stuck out her tongue, she was so happy, the three sisters in the second room had been openly and secretly squeezing out their own girls, and last time Ye Rong wanted to lead her own girls to the water, but she had bad intentions at first glance. Now that King Yu is supporting the girl, see who dares to bully.
Mama Zhao glanced through the window, King Yu is too strong, it stands to reason that she is Ye Qian's housekeeper, if she can follow him to King Yu's Mansion in the future, it will definitely be very beautiful. However, she still has a large family in the Hou Mansion, she is gone, but her son and daughter-in-law still have to beg for a living under the old lady, so she can only listen to the old lady's arrangement.
In the distance, in the future, this Hou Mansion may be the world of the second room, Meng's illness can't get up, Mei's disdain, the second wife Qi is the old lady's henchman, and after the old lady is a hundred years later, this inner courtyard is Qi's final say. Therefore, she can't offend the Qi family, thinking of the Qi family's instructions, she frowned and calculated carefully.
A few days later, Mama Feng and Ye Qian finished their etiquette class in the Little Flower Hall and went back to the courtyard one after the other.
"Oops, I'm old, I'm useless, but my waist is sore in half an hour." Mama Feng thumped her waist.
Ye Qian turned around, took two steps and held Mama Feng's arm, "Mama, I'll help you go back, or you can rest for a few days." β
"No, you don't." Mama Feng said in a low voice: "The old slave has something I want to tell the girl, there are many people in the yard, let's talk while walking." β
Back in the house, Ye Qian had a calm face, nesting on the soft couch under the window in a daze, Bai Zhen and Lu Fei looked at each other, not knowing why their girl was unhappy.
Lu Fei poured a cup of tea and sent it to Ye Qian's hand, "Girl? β
Ye Qian came back to her senses and looked at the injuries on Lu Fei's face, there were still a few things that were not completely healed, "Lu Fei, you go to Mama Feng's house and ask her to help you see this injury, don't leave a scar." β
Lu Fei answered. Ye Qian got up and left the window, bypassed the big screen, and sat on the bed, "Bai Zhen, come and help me rub my shoulders, after learning etiquette for a long time, my shoulders are stiff." β
No wonder the girl was unhappy, it turned out that she was not feeling well, Bai Zhen walked to the side of the bed distressedly, and saw Ye Qian lying on the bed, she skillfully held her little shoulders and rubbed them lightly.
"Bai Zhen, Mama Feng told me one thing just now, about Lu Fei." Ye Qian repeated Mama Feng's words in a low voice.
Bai Zhen was so shocked that she almost jumped up, but fortunately, she understood that Ye Qian had opened the green jade, and there was no one else in the house, obviously to keep it secret, so she didn't scream. She took a deep breath, "Girl, Mama Feng...... Is that true? β
Ye Qian shook her head, "I don't know if it's true or not, so let's discuss this matter, don't tell Lu Fei first, she is in a hurry, if she knows that someone wants to plot against her, she will definitely not be able to hold it." β
The two thought silently for a moment, and Ye Qian instructed: "I'll leave Lu Fei later, you go and rummage through her box, if there is really anything, quietly bring it back to me." β
"The slave and maid understand, and when Lu Fei comes back in a while, the slave and maid will go over."
Ye Qian said sullenly: "Bai Zhen, you said that she has also been by my side since I was born, although Lu Fei is anxious and has no conflict with her, why did she assassinate Lu Fei?" β
Bai Zhen thought for a while, "The slave maid heard that the third girl has put a lot of cruel words these days, and at first she wanted to find the girl for revenge, but later she may have persuaded the second wife, or she may have been afraid, and said that 'she can't move, can't her maid move', which scared the little maids in our yard to be cautious." You say, will she be instructed by the second wife, after all, the third girl's temperament, if she doesn't get a little angry, she will make endless trouble. β
Ye Qian's chin rested on her arm, thinking that the conflict with Ye Rong was really possible. Ye Rong didn't dare to move herself, but she was unwilling, her maid was betrayed, and she also wanted her maid to be unlucky, so she made trouble with the second wife, and the second wife thought of such a plan, but was noticed by Mama Feng.
After taking a nap the next day, Ye Qian sat in front of the dresser, Lu Fei combed her hair, and rummaged twice in the jewelry box, "Hey, why is the girl's red gold ring bead double buckle bracelet missing?" β
Mama Zhao happened to come in, "What's missing?" The girl's jewelry is all valuable, and it is not enough to do without it. β
Lu Fei flipped through all the things in the jewelry box, "The red gold ring bead double buckle bracelet is really missing, I didn't see it yesterday, and I thought it was pressed underneath, but it turned out to be really gone." β
Mama Zhao smiled: "There are no idle people waiting to come in this house, won't it be that you see the girl's jewelry looks good, so you can take it to your own house and wear it to play when no one is around, right?" β
Lu Fei was anxious, "What do you mean, Mama, saying that I stole the girl's jewelry?" I'm not that bad! β
Mama Zhao also sank her face, "This is in front of the girl, what are you yelling about!" Usually the girl's grooming is served by you, and the jewelry is missing, isn't it the most likely for you to take it? β
"Although I serve the girl to make up, I'm not the only one in and out of this house!" Lu Fei's face turned red, "I am innocent, and I have never taken the girl's jewelry!" β
"It's not up to you to make the final decision, what if you find it in your box?" Mama Zhao pressed forward step by step.
Lu Fei was really fooled, "If there are hidden girl's things in my box, I will waste my hands and drive me out of the house!" "According to the rules of the Hou Mansion, stealing is to abolish the hand and sell it again.
"That's what you said!" Mama Zhao raised her eyes to look at Ye Qian, but saw her eyes drooping, her pink mouth pursed stiffly, obviously very unhappy. Mama Zhao's heart jumped, for some reason, she had some bad premonitions in her heart, but the matter had come to this point, and she couldn't retreat, "Girl, Mama will go and search in Lu Fei's box, right?" β
They were so noisy that the little maids in the yard were frightened, and Bai Zhen and Mama Feng also rushed over when they heard the sound.
Ye Qian slowly raised her eyes, and a trace of firmness flashed in her big apricot eyes, "Mama Zhao, Bai Zhen, Lu Fei, the three of you are people who often come in and out of my house, if you lose something, you are all suspicious, if you want to search, you have to find an outsider." β
Her round index finger tapped lightly twice on the table, "The second aunt is in charge of the feed, she must be busy at this time, let's not bother her." That's it, Bai Zhen, you go and ask the third aunt to come over, Mama Zhao and Lu Fei stay in this house, don't move, all the little maids stay in the yard and are not allowed to go back to the house. β
Bai Zhen answered, Lu Fei stood angrily, Zhao Mama was a little uneasy in her heart, and invited the third wife to come, Lu Fei was even more in a catastrophe, and when the girl wanted to cover up the past, the task given to her by the second wife would be completed. However, the girl's calm and calm reaction was different from what she expected......
There are no children to take care of in the third room, and the third master Ye Chengshu does not have a concubine room, and the third wife Mei is usually very leisurely, in addition to grinding with the third master, it is to read calligraphy and painting, embroidery and play the piano, which is more comfortable and moisturizing than the girl in the boudoir. As soon as he heard that Ye Qian's yard had something to ask her for help, he followed Bai Zhen without saying a word.
"This kind of thing cannot be tolerated." Mei had already heard Bai Zhen talk about the cause of the incident on the way, "I'll go to the Green Fei House to take a look." β
Ye Qianfu bowed, "I'm tired of the third aunt, let Mama Feng accompany the third aunt." β
Mama Feng is a person from the Yu Palace, and she is an outsider like the Mei family. The two went to the house where Lu Fei lived.
After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them came back one after the other, and Mei, who was walking in front, held something in his hand and wrapped it in a handkerchief, but the shape looked like a bracelet, "There is indeed a bracelet in the box of Lu Feiββ"
Before Mei's words were finished, Mama Zhao jumped up, pointed at Lu Fei and said, "The evidence is ironclad, what else do you have to say now?!" stole the girl's bracelet, only one hand could be scrapped, and he was driven out of the house! β
"Mama Zhao, listen to meβ" Mei tried to stop Mama Zhao.
"Third wife, don't intercede for her." Mama Zhao said categorically: "You also said just now, this matter cannot be tolerated, besides, this is not only the rules of the house, just now Lu Fei herself said it herself, if you dig out the girl's bracelet from her box, you will abolish your hand and drive out of the house." β
"Nope! I didn't steal the girl's things! Lu Fei's eyes widened in horror, she turned her head to look at Ye Qian, "Girl, the slave and maid definitely didn't steal your things, you believe the slave!" "She is not afraid to drive out of the house, but she can't bear the reputation of betraying the girl, the girl protects her with her little body, how can she let the girl down and be sad!
Mama Zhao also went to see Ye Qian, but saw that her little face was tense, and a trace of pain and determination flashed in her big apricot eyes, "Third aunt, open the veil." β
