Chapter 015: Change Your Mind
In the Painting Brocade Garden, Li waited anxiously in the main hall.
"Madam, the master is here." Mama Zhu hurriedly pushed open the door to the humanity inside.
When Li Shi heard this, he took three steps and hurriedly greeted him, and saw Xiao Yan coming over angrily in a brown brocade robe, and said without waiting for Li Shi to open his mouth with a calm face, "How did you teach Le'er!" In front of the old lady, he dared to beat his sister! The half-daughter family is not reserved and virtuous, what is the difference between it and the shrew in the market! As soon as he remembered that if this matter spread, he didn't know how to say that he was loyal and brave, and his anger rose two feet in his heart.
"Is this to blame me, sir?" As soon as Li Shi heard this, his face turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Yan with hazy tears, and the crystal tears flowed down his cheeks one by one, and the matter was shaky, and her slender and slender figure looked more and more pitiful.
was cried by the Li family's rain and pear blossoms, Xiao Yan couldn't get out of his heart even if he was angry.
"Master, although Le'er is a little pampered, she will not dare to beat someone without asking, if she is not greatly wronged in her heart, how can it be so?" Lee cried.
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yan's eyebrows twisted.
The Li family was busy stumbling over Xiao Xiwei's design, and Xiao Xile deliberately made Xiao Xile think that she had gone to the old lady to complain, and said it again in front of Xiao Yan.
"Then I ask you, how did Pergol end up in the garden?" Xiao Yan stared at Li Shidao with a condensed expression.
Since the flower-viewing banquet was held and so many ladies and young ladies who had not yet left the cabinet, then the man should naturally avoid it, but Li Po is now in the garden, which has to make people suspicious.
"Pergol just got out of school early and happened to pass by the garden." Li Shi replied while wiping her tears, and at the end, she suddenly raised her head and stared at Xiao Yan as if she suddenly remembered something, and said sadly, "Master, isn't this the old man suspicious that I arranged all this behind my back?" ”
Xiao Yan snorted coldly and didn't answer, but the coldness in his eyes said it all.
Li's eyes were red, and the tears that had just stopped were pouring out, "Cousin, the old lady has always suspected me of complaining about me because of the events of the year, I have been looking at the Houfu conscientiously over the years, and I am more concerned about the Wei'er left by my sister than Le'er, whether it is clothes or jewelry, I will pick up the good ones and send them to Wei'er first, and I dare to give it to Le'er after Wei'er has finished choosing...... But that's it, there are always some rumors circulating in the waiting house, but I don't care about these, but cousin, you are my husband and my dependence! If even you doubt me, then what's the point of my life......"
Mama Zhu listened to it on the sidelines, and said in her heart, the step-lady is really clever!
Yes, whether it is clothes or jewelry, Mrs. step-Mrs. did pick up the good ones and send them to the second lady first, because those exquisite jewelry and silk were specially sent from Jiangnan by Mrs. Xian's brother, and each one had a gift list and had to be counted in front of the second lady, how could she dare to swallow it privately? However, as long as the people from Jiangnan leave, the step-lady and the third lady will always try their best to deceive the jewelry and silk from the second lady.
"That's it! Whether or not you arranged it behind your back, this is the end of the matter! Don't even think about interceding for Le'er, if her domineering and impulsive temperament is not well disciplined, sooner or later she will get into trouble! Xiao Yan glanced at Li coldly, and his tone was quite stern.
Xiao Yan is not stupid, he is not completely unclear about what the Li family has done over the years, he just turns a blind eye.
Seeing that it was no longer possible for Xiao Yan to let go of his mouth, Li had to sobble and change the topic, "That's Wei'er?" Did she just watch when she framed Master Le'er like this? ”
Xiao Yan glanced at Li Shi with slanted eyes, the corners of his lips lifted slightly, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his smile, "You are embarrassed to say these words." After a pause, he added, "I will go over this matter and no longer pursue it, but in the future, I don't want to hear any news that is unfavorable to Wei'er." ”
"What?" Li couldn't react.
"I now think that Wei'er is more suitable to be the concubine of the Seventh Prince than Le'er." Xiao Yan said.
He didn't know when his concubine became so hidden, the flower-viewing banquet of the Li Mansion obviously made a game, but she not only broke it lightly and skillfully, but also reversed the Li army, and also sang an empty city plan in front of the old lady to attract the Li family's trick, which really made him impressed by this eldest daughter who had been neglected.
If he had high hopes for Xiao Xile in the past, then after this incident, he had to be very disappointed in her. A woman who is impulsive and unintelligent, even if he holds her up, she will be ripped off one day, because the struggle in the harem is more cruel than this backhouse.
Xiao Yan's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, Li's body trembled, and she almost fell, she looked up at Xiao Yan in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, you, what do you mean by this?" Didn't you say before that you wanted to give Le Er to the Seven Princes? “
"With her temperament, do you think she can sit firmly in the position of the Seventh Imperial Princess?" Xiao Yan asked coldly.
When Li Shi heard this, his eyes were sour and astringent, "Master, Le'er is still young, as long as we teach her well, I am not afraid that she will be obedient and well-behaved." Seeing that Xiao Yan's face was still cold and hard, his tone couldn't help but soften a little, "Master, Le'er grew up in the palm of your hand since you were a child......"
Xiao Yan's eyebrows moved suddenly, "Didn't the fourth prince have any interest in her before?" ”
The situation between the DPRK and China is changing rapidly, and no one knows who will have the last laugh until the end.
It was like being poured a basin of ice water on his head, and Li Shi only felt a chill all over his body. Knowing that once Xiao Yan made a decision, she could not change it, but she still felt very unwilling, "Master, in fact, Brother Pei has long been interested in Wei'er, and the sudden appearance of Brother Pei at this flower banquet is also to see Wei Er, and I look at Wei Er's ...... to Brother Po."
Before the Li family finished speaking, Xiao Yan 'Huo' stood up suddenly, and looked at the Li family with eyes like knives, "Don't think that I don't know what you and Qi Shi'an are thinking, it's just that your Li family should also weigh yourself, is my loyal and brave concubine what you can think of?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you have the idea of a micro again, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people! ”
Li Shi was beaten by Xiao Yan with a gun and a stick, and he couldn't lift it in one breath, so angry that he almost fainted.
Her background has always been her sore spot, but she didn't expect that one day this sore spot would be ruthlessly revealed by her husband!
After Xiao Yan left, Mama Zhu hurriedly helped Li to sit on the chaise longue.
"Xiuxin, what kind of curse did you say that stinky girl put on the old lady and the master, why did they all talk to her! What the old man said just now is really heart-wrenching! ”
Since Chen's death, the old lady moved to Jingyuan to recuperate, and the mansion in this mansion is under her control, but she didn't expect to plant such a big heel in front of a little girl today, and the most hateful thing is that the old man actually gave her the marriage that was originally assigned to Le'er!
The more Li thought about it, the more angry he became, and he raised his hand and lifted the teacup on the desk to the ground.
Gui Zhi happened to bump into this scene when she led Mama Cui in, Mama Cui's face turned pale, and she stood at the door for a while, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Madam, Mama Cui is here." Gui Zhi walked up to Li without changing his face and said.
Li's eyebrows were raised, and his slender eyes swept towards Mama Cui coldly, "Didn't Mama Cui go to the wrong place?" This is not Shuyingxuan! ”
"Madame...... The slave is loyal to his wife, and he also asks his wife to know it! Cui Mama 'plopped' and knelt down.
Obviously, Li had already blamed her for what happened in Jingyuan, and when she thought of the stepwife's vicious methods, Mama Cui broke out in a cold sweat.
"Loyal?" A sneer crossed Li's lips, "I'm afraid that there is someone else who is loyal to you!" ”
"Madam......" Mama Cui hurriedly knelt down and moved to the Li family and kowtowed three times, "Jingyuan's matter really has nothing to do with the slave maid, Madam must believe the slave maid!" ”
"Madam, the slave maid may really have nothing to do with Mama Cui. Since returning from Chao'an Temple, the second lady seems to have changed a lot? Mama Zhu looked at Li's expression and cautiously interjected.
Mama Cui hurriedly raised her head and glanced at Mama Zhu gratefully.
Li Shi glanced at Mama Cui coldly, and finally stopped talking. In fact, she also knew that it was impossible for Mama Cui to betray her, and she had Mama Cui in her hands.
"I really haven't seen it all these years, this girl still has some means! In the past, she was obedient and peaceful, but now she ......" The corners of Li's lips hooked, and a trace of cruel light flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Xiwei, since you dare to go against me, then, don't blame me for being ruthless!
It was already late at night when I came out of Li's Painting Brocade Garden, and it was quiet in Shuying Xuan. Cui Mama listened to the corner of the door for a long time, and made sure that there was no sound inside, so she carefully pushed open the door and walked in, and was about to close the door when a crisp voice sounded behind her.
"It's so late, where did Mama go?"
Mama Cui was so frightened that the soles of her feet were soft, and when she turned her face, she saw Xiao Xiwei wearing a white bedclothes, her black hair like a waterfall draped behind her head, lining her little face with snow-white, and her quiet eyes were staring at herself motionless.
"Little ...... Miss, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet! Cui's mother forced her composure, but a thousand thoughts turned in her heart.
"I just dreamed, and I was in a nightmare, so I went out for a walk." Xiao Xi stared at Mama Cui slightly, her eyes lit up surprisingly, "Mama, it's so late, what are you going out for?" ”
"I ...... When I came back in the afternoon, I thought I had lost a pendant, so I wanted to go out and look for it. In a panic, Mama Cui casually lied.
"Did you find it, mama?"
"I didn't ...... No, which girl picked it up. Anyway, it's not a valuable thing, just forget it if you lose it......" Mama Cui looked at Xiao Xiwei's clear and transparent pupils, and inexplicably felt a cool air rushing up from the soles of her feet.
Miss, don't you know something?
Mama Cui was secretly worried in her heart, but she heard Xiao Xiwei's voice ring again, "It's just a pendant, if Mama likes it, I have a lot there, so Ming'er Mama can pick one she likes." It's not early, so it's better to rest early. “
Mama Cui was stunned for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, Xiao Xi turned around and entered the room early.
