Chapter 316: Denial
Xue Hainiang pretended to be puzzled, but the smiling and pleasant appearance came into Mrs. Liu's eyes, but it made a nameless fire in her heart.
"Cooperation? Concubine Ben is really puzzled, when and where, and how did Concubine Ben talk about cooperation with Mrs. Liu?"
Xue Hainiang pretended to be stupid, but in fact, this time it was nothing more than him and Mrs. Liu secretly benefiting each other, and with the situation that they were willing to face each other in the next second, it was naturally too early to talk about cooperation.
Mrs. Liu's gaze was a little deep, and her red lips hooked up a dark and inexplicable smile, "Is it possible, can the concubine deny it now?"
Xue Hainiang ignored it completely, hooking her lips and sneering. "Since it has never happened before, how can we talk about denying it? Concubine Ben doesn't know why Mrs. Liu has such a cooperation, if this concubine made Mrs. Liu have such a misunderstanding, this concubine should say sorry here. ”
Mrs. Liu raised her eyebrows and looked at each other coldly, and snorted softly. That being the case, Mrs. Ben took her leave. ”
Seeing her left with the help of the maid, Xue Hainiang slowly withdrew her gaze, and caught a glimpse of Hou on the left side of her eyes from the corner of her eyes, who seemed to be slightly uneasy, her red lips raised slightly, as if she felt a little funny, she asked tentatively, "What, seeing that the old master is not good for the concubine, are you panicking?"
Juan'er was slightly stunned, after seeing the thunderous wrist of Xue Hainiang, where did she dare to offend her easily, she immediately landed on her knees, and subconsciously kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Side Concubine Niangniang forgiveness, where is the old master of the slave maid, the slave and maid have only a serious master from beginning to end." ”
Seeing that she was so flustered, Xue Hainiang knew that her words had buried uneasiness in the little girl's heart, and she smiled happily. "Concubine Ben doesn't mean anything else, why are you so flustered?"
But she never thought that her smiling appearance now made Juan'er panic, and Juan'er hurriedly promised: "Although the slave maid has done things under Mrs. Liu before, but now that Mrs. Liu has pointed out the slave maid to the side concubine, the slave and the maid will not dare to have any other thoughts, and I hope that the side concubine Niangniang will be aware of it." ”
Seeing Juan'er trembling like this, humbly prostrate on the ground, Ah Ling is nonsensical burst of relief, maybe in recent days, Xue Hainiang has been relying on her, which inevitably makes Ah Ling feel uneasy, but now looking at Xue Hainiang and Mrs. Liu so arrogant, and then looking at Xue Hainiang's treatment of Juan'er and her attitude towards her, Ah Ling feels that she does not need to be uneasy about this.
From beginning to end, her concubines regarded Juan'er as an outsider. Think of yourself as a confidant.
Xue Hainiang smiled and gently helped Juan'er up, the smiling appearance was just like the goddess enshrined in the temple, Juan'er couldn't help but wink.
"Mother-"
Xue Hainiang smiled and said: "Concubine Ben doesn't mean to blame you, you don't need to be so nervous, and you have been doing things carefully for me during this time, and I also look at it in my eyes, and I definitely don't mean to wronged you." ”
In this way, Juan'er can be regarded as at ease, she asks herself that she is extremely cautious, but looking at the temperament of this concubine today, I am afraid that she is also a person who is not easy to get along with, and she is so smart and alert, Juan'er is even afraid of how cautious she is, if she still hides from her to do things for Mrs. Liu, I am afraid that she will inevitably fall into her hands.
Xue Hainiang let Juan'er and Ah Ling send her back to the courtyard.
When I returned to my courtyard, it was almost dusk, and I had been busy for most of the day.
Xue Hainiang felt very tired, so she told Juan'er to go down and tell the rough girl to prepare some hot water.
At this time, Ah Ling was left behind.
Ah Ling stepped forward and pinched Xue Hainiang's sore shoulders and waist and legs.
"Niangniang, what do you think of today's events—" Ah Ling asked cautiously.
Xue Hainiang smiled and said: "That Mrs. Ling is a ruthless person, she can do it, and she dares to put her own life and danger in the danger of pushing Mrs. Chu off the rockery, if it weren't for her move, I am afraid that it would be difficult to see through Mrs. Chu's tricks today." ”
Ah Ling said: "The slave maid looked at Mrs. Ling and seemed to hate Mrs. Liu, but you took advantage of Mrs. Ling's hatred for Mrs. Liu to prompt her to attack Mrs. Chu." ”
Xue Hainiang raised her eyes and glanced at her, then smiled lightly, and her tone seemed to be mixed with a little mockery. "Don't you think that Concubine Ben is killing innocent people indiscriminately—I mean, do you think that Concubine Ben will attack the unformed fetus in Mrs. Chu's womb?"
Ah Ling seemed to stagger Xue Hainiang's gaze intentionally or unintentionally, she smiled, and what she said was extremely honest, just like her upright temperament, "You and Mrs. Liu are old enemies, and the eighteen girls in this back house are all old enemies, you and they serve the same husband together, even if you attack the child in Mrs. Chu's womb, it is understandable,"
She thought that Xue Hainiang had informed Mrs. Ling that Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Liu might secretly form an alliance, and that the child in Mrs. Chu's womb should be Mrs. Liu's help, although this move was a little too insidious and cunning, but it was understandable. But now, it seems that things are not as she thinks!
Xue Hainiang smiled and said: "Even if I want the power in Mrs. Liu's hands again, I won't hurt the unformed child, I think Mrs. Liu also guessed a few points, since that day I led the female doctor with her into Mrs. Chu's courtyard to try to treat her, and she postponed the start in every possible way, Concubine Ben was suspicious." Mrs. Liu probably did the same. ”
Ah Ling suddenly realized, "That's why you want to know such an answer with the help of Madam Ling's hand. ”
Xue Hainiang looked at her fixedly, her obsidian-like eyes had an undeniable determination, "It's not a temptation, but the concubine already has an answer." She trusts her instincts and judgment.
Ah Ling didn't say more, but kneading Xue Hainiang's sore shoulders wholeheartedly.
Xue Hainiang suddenly stopped her. "No need, you don't have to be busy with this, go out and pass the meal, I don't have much of the heart to use refreshments at the pavilion today, and I've been entangled with them for a long time, and I'm a little hungry now. ”
When she was in Xue Mansion in the past, she was not a daughter, no one in Xue Mansion regarded her as a real daughter, except for Mingxi who cherished her, everyone in Xue Mansion flattered Xue Qiaoling, and no one regarded her as a thing. After entering the palace, he became a slave because of his defeat, and he single-handedly handled the affairs of his subordinates, and later became a maid in front of the palace, and was even more busy with trivial matters.
Thinking about it this way, except for the memory of being a concubine in her previous life, she is rarely served by someone like today. Now I feel very unwell.
Ah Ling was a little aggrieved, but when he heard that Xue Hainiang was a little hungry, those grievances were swept away, and he hurriedly said: "The slave will go down here." ”
