Chapter 033: Jedi Turnover
When Qi Shi spoke, there was a ruthlessness that went out, and the ladies couldn't help but be suspicious again.
Look, Mrs. Li took the risk of offending Houfu, and she also insisted that the second lady of Houfu had a relationship with the son of Lifu. Could it be that as she said, this Second Miss Xiao looked at the lowly disciples of the Li Mansion and felt remorseful?
At this time, Li Shi walked out worriedly, and said with a worried face, "Wei'er, don't say it, in front of so many ladies, we will say some things in private, okay?" ”
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "I, Xiao Xiwei, sit upright, no better than my mother, there is nothing that people can't say!" ”
Li Shi was blocked by Xiao Xiwei like this, and a vicious aura suddenly burst out of his chest, and a trace of ruthlessness quickly crossed his eyes, but he soon changed to a motherly soft face and said, "Wei'er, I know you are stubborn, but this matter ...... If this is really revealed, it will be ...... to you I'm doing it for your own good, too. ”
Xiao Xi sneered slightly, "Mother, if you really do it for my good, you should return my innocence, instead of letting others pour cold water on your daughter." But that's right, the Li Mansion is your mother's family, how could you not help your mother's family but help me, the stepdaughter. ”
Li's expression was cold, "Wei'er, I kindly persuaded you, why are you still beating a rake!" ”
Xiao Xi covered his mouth slightly and sneered a few times, "Then I really can't stand such a 'kindness', my mother can't help but divide this 'kindness' into the three sisters, in this case, I am really grateful!" ”
"Sister, you have done such an ugly thing that insults the lintel and violates morals! Mother is kind enough to cover you up for you, you don't know how to be grateful, how can you contradict your mother like this! Xiao Xi was happy to see that his mother was forced by Xiao Xi to jump out step by step.
Xiao Xi's eyes shone slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared, "Insulting the lintel?" Offend public decency? I didn't know that my sister had already convicted me just by a few words from others! It's a deep sisterhood! ”
Xiao Xile's chest suffocated, and he wanted to defend, but he couldn't say a word.
"Enough!" At this time, the old lady sitting at the top interrupted Xiao Xile's words sharply, her face swept over the Li family and the Qi family with a gloomy face, and her eyes finally fell on Xiao Xiwei.
Xiao Xile straightened his chest and calmly met the old lady's gaze.
"Do you know what happens to slandering Miss Houfu!" The old lady's phoenix eyes were slight, and her sharp gaze swept towards the Qi family who was still kneeling on the ground.
Qi's body trembled, "Aunt ......"
"Don't call me aunt!" The old lady sharply cut off Qi's words.
Qi's face turned pale suddenly, and finally he bit it and said in a low voice, "Yes, old lady, concubine...... The concubine knows. ”
"Good! If it turns out that you slandered Xiwei in the end, then I will immediately send someone to send you to Dali Temple! The old lady raised his face calmly.
When Qi Shi heard this, the whole person was shaky, and a face suddenly flew bloody, pale as paper.
Seeing this, the Li family hurriedly glanced at the Qi family.
Now, there is no way back!
Qi obviously knew this, and after a brief panic, she gradually calmed down.
As long as it is finally confirmed that Xiao Xiwei is indeed in love with Li Po, then in front of so many people, even if Lao Taijun and Xiao Yan are unwilling, then they will have to marry Xiao Xiwei to Po'er, and when the time comes, with Xiao Xiwei's dowry and the momentum of Houfu, I am not afraid that Po'er will not have a good future.
This one! She gambled!
Thinking of this, Qi shook his head, raised his eyes to meet the old lady's gaze and said, "If there is no evidence, how dare I open this mouth in front of the old lady." After Qi Shi said that, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, "Old lady, this handkerchief was given to Po Ge'er by Sister Wei Er herself." ”
Qi opened his mouth, and everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Xiwei again.
Xiao Xi's slightly clear pupils revealed a coldness, and she stared at the square handkerchief for a long time.
Seeing that Xiao Xiwei didn't speak, Qi was overjoyed, and shouted loudly at the moment, "Sister Wei, this veil is yours!" Have I ever wronged you? ”
Xiao Xi's face changed slightly, "I won't marry Li Po!" He doesn't deserve it! ”
The banquet suddenly exploded.
I didn't expect this second lady to look dignified and beautiful on the surface, but I didn't expect to be able to do something private.
When Qi Shi heard this, his heart was even more happy, but he frowned and pretended to be embarrassed, "Wei'er, how can you say that!" Although our Li Mansion is indeed inferior to the Hou Mansion, but now that you are in good shape, it is not a loss to match my family......
Xiao Xi's eyes lit up slightly, "How do you know about my forehead injury!" ”
Although she was scratched by a wild cat was common among the princes, Xiao Yan ordered that it was strictly forbidden to spread the word, and once it was discovered, she would be killed with a cane, so the news of her injury did not spread in the circle of noblewomen in the capital.
The corners of Qi's mouth stiffened, and he hurriedly opened the topic and said, "In short, things have come to this point, and you also admit that this veil is your ......"
"When will I admit that this veil is mine?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
"But you just ......"
"Yes, I do have one of these handkerchiefs, but it's just ......" Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Qi Shi with a shallow smile, and also took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, "It's just that my handkerchief has always been by my side and has never been lost, I don't know where Mrs. Li got this handkerchief from?" ”
Everyone took a closer look and saw that the handkerchief in Xiao Xiwei's hand was exactly the same as the one taken out by the Qi family, and they were all stunned.
Qi Shi looked at the handkerchief in Xiao Xiwei's hand, and was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on? The handkerchief was obviously given to her by Yuerong herself, and it was undoubtedly Xiao Xiwei's, but now how did she come up with another one?
"Miss, you forgot, the third miss also has an identical one!" At this time, Biyun came to Xiao Xiwei's side and lowered his voice, but this voice was just enough for the people around him to hear.
"It turns out that the handkerchief in Mrs. Li's hand belongs to the third lady!"
"What the hell do you think this is all about? Could it be that Mrs. Li made the mistake? ”
"I look at it too......"
"You know what? Last time at the flower-viewing banquet in the Li Mansion, ......"
Seeing this scene, I can't help but associate the events that happened at the last flower-viewing banquet, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that I have spied the truth.
Xiao Xi was happy to see that everyone was talking, and his pretty face was so red that he was about to drip blood! She rushed to Biyun in a few steps, raised her hand and gave her a slap, "You!" You dare to mess with the root of the tongue! ”
"Sister, what are you doing!" Xiao Xiwei's face sank, and he protected Biyun behind him.
"I ...... I'm not talking nonsense. Biyun covered half of his red and swollen face, and pulled the corners of Xiao Xiwei's sleeves with a face full of grievances, "This handkerchief was sent by the uncle of Jiangnan the year before last, and the handkerchief was made of precious Yunzhong brocade, and it was embroidered by the best embroiderer in Hangzhou, and the second miss took a fancy to it at that time, and the second miss gave the second miss a ......."
"You girl has the audacity to slander Miss, come here, drag her out and give me a beating of thirty boards!" Li jumped out angrily.
Seeing that Xiao Xiwei was about to be defeated, she didn't expect that she would be able to turn the tables and tear Le'er down! Li Shi was so angry that he jumped to his feet, a nameless anger burned in his chest, and he really wanted to rush over and tear Xiao Xiwei's calm face fiercely!
"Old lady, the slave didn't lie...... Biyun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old lady.
"Enough! Do you still take me, an old woman, in your eyes! The old lady slapped the table and stood up, only to feel a rush of anger in her chest, and couldn't help but cover her chest and cough violently.
"Old lady......"
"Mother's ......"
"Grandmother ......"
The old lady held Mama Liu's hand, and it took a long time to calm down, her cold gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally fell on Qi's body, "You, do you have anything else to say?" ”
Qi's eyelids jumped suddenly.
"I remember telling you earlier! My loyal and brave girl is not something anyone can slander! The old lady said, and raised her head suddenly, "Come on, tie her up for me and send her to Dali Temple!" ”
Qi Shi seemed to have been hit on the head, and the whole person was stunned.
"Auntie's ...... Mother, she was wrong, please read in front of your father and spare your mother this time. Li Lin was the first to react, and quickly kowtowed three times to the old lady.
Only then did the Qi clan react, and hurriedly bowed his head to the ground, "Auntie, this matter was misunderstood by my nephew and daughter-in-law...... Please spare my niece and daughter-in-law this time......"
If she is twisted to the Zongren Mansion, even if she is not beaten by the board, then she will lose face in the circle of noblewomen in Beijing, and how will she behave at that time!
The old lady clutched her chest and sneered a few times, "Auntie? You shouted nicely, if you really think of me as an aunt, you can do such a thing at my birthday feast? From today onwards, you don't have to call me this aunt again! I'm afraid of losing my life! ”
"Auntie......" Qi's tears poured out, seeing that the old lady was unmoved, she hurriedly rushed to Xiao Xiwei's side, hugged her leg with both hands and cried bitterly, "Wei'er, my aunt is really a ghost and misunderstood you, you are kind-hearted, please spare me this time!" Isn't my aunt here to accompany you! With that, he hurriedly got up and kowtowed three times to Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi pursed his lips slightly, looking at Qi Shi expressionlessly.
"Wei'er, since it was a misunderstanding, and your aunt also apologized to you, why don't you forgive her this time...... Mother, mother is also accompanying you for your aunt and uncle. Li Shi bowed to Xiao Xiwei with a pale face, and looked at Xiao Xiwei with a pleading face.
"If Miss Xiao Er doesn't forgive, will there be an unfilial hat on her head after a while?" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in the flower hall.
Everyone turned around one after another, but saw a young man in a brocade robe wearing a dark purple embroidered dragon pattern leaning on the door, his sword eyebrows were lightly raised, his slender peach blossom eyes had a hint of a playful smile, and his posture was lazy and calm, revealing elegance, which was Chu Xizhi, the most favored prince of the Seven Princes of the Holy Lord.
