The old lady glanced at Mama Liu, "If you have something to say, you can say it." ”

Mama Liu said, "The old lady knows that the slave maid has always liked to use all kinds of spices, just now the slave maid took a closer look at the puppet and found that the words on it were not written with cinnabar, but with pomegranate flower sweat mashed and then mixed with alum and other things...... If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can smell it, and there is a faint fragrance of pomegranate flowers on this puppet. ”

The old lady took the puppet and sniffed it slightly, and sure enough, she smelled a very faint fragrance of pomegranate flowers.

The pomegranate has always symbolized many sons and many blessings, rich and rich, and the whole person waits for the house, only the Li family's painting brocade garden is planted with pomegranate trees.

Since this puppet is not written in cinnabar, it means that the puppet maker is not trying to curse people but to ......

Pin!

These two words popped out of the old lady's mind almost immediately. Her face changed, and she smashed the puppet in her hand on Li's body, "Do you still want to quibble now?" ”

At this moment, Li finally realized that he had underestimated Xiao Xiwei too much, from the very beginning, this girl set up a game, leading her into the game step by step, and it was ridiculous that she didn't know it, and thought she had held her handle......

Thinking of this, Li suddenly felt a chill in her bones, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei's slightly snow-white and immature face, no matter what, she didn't dare to imagine that this fourteen-year-old girl had such meticulous and vicious thoughts and methods!

"It's you! It's you, it's all yours who designed it! You deliberately led me to be fooled, and then blamed me! Right! Li's resentful eyes suddenly looked at Xiao Xiwei, who was quiet on the side.

Xiao Xiwei was taken aback by Li's expression, "Mother...... Why did my mother say that......"

"Enough!" Xiao Yan finally couldn't suppress the anger in his chest, and stood up abruptly with a slap on the table, "I thought you were a gentle and graceful person, but I didn't expect you to be so resentful in your mind, and you didn't take what I said to heart at all!" ”

Today's events reminded him of what he revealed in front of the Li family a few days ago that he wanted to give Xiwei to the Seventh Prince! She must be unwilling to be taken away by Xiwei in this matter, so she deliberately framed Xiwei!

"Master, why are you even suspicious of me? If I had done this, I would not have died well. Li swore to the heavens.

"It's better not to talk nonsense about some things, maybe they will come true one day!" The old lady stared coldly at Li Shidao.

Li was choked by the old lady's words, and suddenly remembered that she had cursed in front of the old lady that year and swore that she had no selfish relationship with Xiao Yan...... Thinking of this, her face turned pale, and no matter how much she defended, she couldn't say a word at the moment.

"Old lady, please Mingjian, this matter really has nothing to do with Madame, this puppet was dug up in the yard of the second lady, and the second lady also admitted that the word was hers...... Madam...... Madame is really wronged! Mama Zhu knelt on the ground to distinguish for the Li family.

Xiao Xiwei saw Xiao Yan turn her head to look at her, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Father, it's none of my business, I'...... I don't know why the handwriting on the puppet is mine? Maybe...... Maybe someone is deliberately copying my handwriting. Father, didn't you say that there are many talented people in Beijing, and maybe some people are good at imitating other people's handwriting. ”

Xiao Yan's eyes moved suddenly. He suddenly remembered that Master Zhao of Qingshan Academy was very good at imitating other people's handwriting, and he could almost confuse the real with the fake. It's just that he is proud of his reputation and easily refuses to write, but Li Po's nephew Li Po is his proud disciple, thinking of the day when Li proposed to him to give Wei'er to Li Po, his mind turned, could it be...... This aunt and nephew teamed up to plan this one?

A dignified housewife would use such a dirty means to frame her stepdaughter, if this was spread out, wouldn't it become a laughing stock in the whole capital! What made him even more annoyed was that Li didn't take his words to heart at all!

Thinking of this, the more Xiao Yan looked at Li, the more annoyed he felt.

"Grandmother, father...... I think this should be a misunderstanding, so let's just leave it at that. Xiao Xiwei looked up at Xiao Yandao.

"That's it! None of you have to say anything about this, from today onwards, the Li family will be grounded in the Painting Jinyuan for a month, so that they can cultivate themselves and cultivate their nature, and all the big and small affairs in the house will be handed over to the ...... Xiwei takes care of it. The old lady paused and said with a cold face.

"Mother......" Li was shocked, looked at the old lady in disbelief, and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Is the old lady going to deprive her of the right to be a housekeeper?

Seeing that the old lady did not have a condensed face, and was not moved by Sihao, Li's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, but he was still unwilling to say, "Mother, Wei'er is still young, and she has never taken care of the inner courtyard, and the daughter-in-law is afraid that she will ...... when the time comes."

"No one is born to do this, so because they can't learn more, besides, seeing that Wei'er is about to catch up, they should learn how to look at the inner house." The old lady interrupted Li's words without thinking about it.

"But ......"

"Nothing! No, I can't even call the shots about this little thing! The old lady interrupted Li's words again.

"Grandmother, my mother is right, I have never taken care of the inner house, I am only afraid...... I'm afraid I can't do it. Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly, looking at the old lady with some embarrassment.

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said to Mama Liu beside her, "Layue, from today onwards, you will help the second lady take care of the waiting house, if there is anything difficult to decide, come to Jingyuan to find me." ”

"Yes." Mama Liu responded with the blessing.

......Seeing that nothing had changed, the Li family hurriedly moved his gaze to Xiao Yan on the side.

Xiao Yan glanced at Li coldly, and then glanced at Ma Daogu. When Ma Daogu received Xiao Yan's gaze, she trembled with fright, and hurriedly lowered her head, secretly complaining in her heart.

"Didn't this Dao aunt say that you are not in good health, just take advantage of this time to recuperate, don't make these moths all day long!" Xiao Yan said coldly.

The old lady said well, seeing that Xiwei is about to be in time, it is best for her to study the affairs of the back house as soon as possible, and if he marries into the royal family in the future, he will not be in a hurry.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned around and saluted the old lady, "Mother, your son's unfilial piety bothered you." ”

The old lady waved her hand, "These things in the back house shouldn't have been for you to worry about one by one, you are busy with your go!" It's all with me! ”

"Yes." Xiao Yan answered, and then walked out without looking at Li's head and without looking back.

After Xiao Yan left, the old lady sat back on the chair, she raised her eyebrows and glanced at Ma Daogu, who had not snorted since she hit just now, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she said with a smile, "Daogu just said that my daughter-in-law was cursed by pickled things?" ”

That Dao Gu's face turned pale, but she had to stubbornly hold on and say, "Yes, that's true......"

"But the birthday characters on this puppet are not my daughter-in-law's? What is Aunt Dao's explanation for this? The old lady stared at Ma Daogu with cold eyes.

That Ma Daogu was speechless by the old lady's question, and she was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, a girl suddenly came in and said, "Old lady, there is a Taoist aunt who claims to be surnamed Ma and asks to see her. ”

"What did you say?" The old lady glanced at the person in the room who also called himself 'Ma Daogu', and her heart was shocked and angry.

'Ma Daogu' was weak in his legs and feet at the moment, his whole body was cold, and he looked at Li with a weak heart.

Li's face was also pale.

When she learned that Xiao Xi secretly made a puppet and cursed her, she was eager to expose her face in everyone, so she wanted to find a Daogu to lead everyone to Shuyingxuan in a good name, in order to win the trust of the old lady, she found Ma Daogu, who was quite famous in Beijing, but Ma Daogu refused to do anything, did not want to, but met Ma Daogu's twin sister, the two sides hit it off, she let Ma Daogu's sister pretend to be Ma Daogu into the waiting house, but unexpectedly, at this moment Ma Daogu suddenly came to the door.

"Miss, isn't Ma Daogu here? Bi Yunyu took Xiao Xiwei's hand and whispered.

Xiao Xiwei only looked at the look of this 'Ma Daogu' and the Li family, and knew that the Li family had invited someone to pretend to be Ma Daogu out of nowhere.

Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Xi's lips couldn't help but overflow with a sneer.

It seems that the play is getting more and more interesting.

The old lady's face sank, "Go, please ask Ma Daogu to come in." ”

Hearing this, the 'Ma Daogu' in the house had weak legs and feet, and collapsed directly to the ground.

After a while, the girl led a Dao Gu in a light yellow robe and walked in, only to see that the Dao Gu was exactly the same as the Dao Gu in the house, but there was a more compassionate compassion between her eyebrows.

"Poor Dao has seen the old lady."

Although the old lady was surprised by the appearance of the two of them, she finally got up and returned the salute, "Aunt Dao doesn't need to be polite." ”

"Poor Dao is ashamed, and I hope that the old lady will forgive his sins." That Dao Gu saluted the old lady, and then turned her head to look at the 'Ma Dao Gu' who collapsed on the ground and said, "Ah Rong, don't ask the old lady for guilt." ”

"The old lady forgives the sins, the old lady forgives the sins!" The Dao aunt who was called 'Ah Rong' hurriedly kowtowed to the old lady.

"Aunt Dao, what's going on?" The old lady frowned.

"Amitabha, all blame the poor road discipline is not strict, this is the poor road of the same sister, a few years ago her hometown was drought, the doctor and the child died, this is the capital to run the poor road. A few days ago, you came to invite the poor Dao to come to the house to do a dharma, and the poor Dao happened to be in the process of enlightening the Dharma and refused, I don't want to, the poor Dao girl actually pretended to be the poor Dao to come to your house...... If it's really a sin, I hope the old lady will forgive. ”

Although Ma Daogu said that it was the Houfu that invited her to do the ritual, but the old lady only looked at what the Li family did today, and knew that it must be her good daughter-in-law who took the silver and wanted to buy Ma Daogu to conspire to frame Xiwei, but fortunately, Ma Daogu was kind and honest and rejected the Li family, but I didn't expect the Li family to buy Ma Daogu's sister, and the two performed such a farce in the mansion together!

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and this matter is not to blame on Aunt Dao." The old lady said gently to Ma Daogu.

This matter has been broken, the mastermind behind the scenes is the Li family, and it really wants to spread it, and it is still the Houfu to blame it, besides, now Ma Daogu has come to apologize in person, and she can't say it if she doesn't give Ma Daogu this face.
