007 Overt favoritism
Jiang Shuangxue was shocked in her heart, but Ling Xiao still came with a sense of anger. She immediately sent the maids away, then walked up to Ling Xiao and said cautiously: "Master Hou, what's wrong, why are you so angry?" ”
"Then I'll have to ask your good daughter." Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Xi and slowly walked to the dining table and sat down.
Jiang Shuangxue hurriedly poured Ling Xiao a full glass of wine, and then asked Ling Xi sharply: "What did you do again to make your father angry." ”
Ling Xi's little eyes rolled around, could it be because of something in the afternoon? But she really didn't push down Ling Man. Thinking of Leng Qiuye's words in the afternoon, Ling Xi's heart was a little aggrieved, and Ling Xi stood there motionless without saying a word.
After Ling Xiao drank all the wine on the table, he angrily slapped the wine glass on the table.
"In the afternoon, in the garden, she pushed Man'er down the moss steps, and Man'er's forehead almost broke, and now she has a big red and swollen bag on her head."
Jiang Shuangxue only remembered the way Ling Xi returned to listen to Yuzhai just now, of course she didn't believe that her daughter would push Ling Man down the moss steps, it was obviously Leng Qiuye who was instigating. But she thought about it again, with Hou Ye's temper, she would never be so angry about this little thing, could she ...... Could it have been unsuccessful?
Jiang Shuangxue secretly figured it out, she knew that Ling Xiao was angry, it was better to let him vent his anger, otherwise Ling Xi would have to suffer a big loss, she immediately reprimanded Ling Xi loudly.
"Ling Xi, you are becoming more and more unruly, how can you take your sister to play on such a dangerous step, your sister is injured, you sister is to blame, you are not allowed to eat dinner today, you will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for reflection."
Jiang Shuangxue poured Ling Xiao another glass of wine, and she sandwiched a few dishes that Ling Xiao liked to eat and put them on the plate in front of Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xi just likes to play with her brothers and sisters, children always play without a degree, there will always be pulling between plays, Ling Man probably fell down the moss steps by accident, but Ling Xi is a sister after all, her sister is injured, she can't protect her sister thoroughly, she really doesn't do well, so she will be punished to go to the ancestral hall to reflect, Hou Ye thinks it's good?"
"I didn't, I really didn't push my sister." When Ling Xi heard Jiang Shuangxue say this, she became even more angry, Leng Qiuye could frame her, but she couldn't be wronged in vain, she had to make it clear. She ran to Jiang Shuangxue angrily and defended herself loudly.
"You don't know what to do."
Ling Xiao was furious and dropped the chopsticks in his hand. It turned out that what Leng Qiuye said was really true, Ling Xi was really right, Ling Xiao glared at Jiang Shuangxue again, and said to Jiang Shuangxue angrily: "You don't know about this?" ”
Ling Xi saw that Ling Xiao vented her anger on Jiang Shuangxue's body, Ling Xi was even more sad and aggrieved, she shouted at Ling Xiao: "It's not me, it's not me, why don't Daddy believe it, Daddy is too partial." As she spoke, she began to cry aggrieved again.
"Look at your high-flying appearance now, I don't believe it when you say that it wasn't Man'er who you pushed." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Shuangxue again, it was obvious that he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
"Daddy said I pushed it, so did Daddy see it with his own eyes?" Ling Xi looked at Ling Xiao angrily, a pair of bulging apricot eyes were very wide, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets.
"Isn't it enough for the maid Xiaolan to see it with her own eyes?" Ling Xiao said angrily.
"I'm the young lady of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, Xiaolan is just a subordinate next to Aunt Leng, when, the words of a subordinate are more useful than the words of the master, so is Xiaolan a young lady, or am I a young lady?" Ling Xi bumped into Ling Xiao even more angrily.
Ling Xiao was stunned, he was stopped by Ling Xi's words, it is true, there is no reason to just listen to the words of a subordinate to ask Miss Sin. But Ling Xiao thought about it, this is not like what a seven-year-old child can say, could it be that Ling Xi's words were taught by Jiang Shuangxue? Suddenly, Ling Xiao was angry again.
"Presumptuous, you mean that Daddy is stupid, he wronged you, he turned against you, he contradicted his father like this, today I will teach you a good lesson and let you know the rules."
Ling Xiao slammed the wine glass on the table to the ground and shouted, "Come on, go get the rattan." ”
The subordinate walked into the house and handed the rattan to Ling Xiao's hand, Ling Xiao raised his hand, and saw that he was about to hit Ling Xi, when suddenly Ling Zhu's body blocked in front of Ling Xi, and Ling Xiao's rattan hit Ling Zhu's body hard. With a plop, Ling Zhu knelt in front of Ling Xiao.
"Father, it's me who is not good, I used to play with my sisters, I was greedy and had a bad stomach, so I left my sisters to go to the toilet, and the third sister accidentally fell down the moss stone steps. My sisters are all young, and it's my brother who doesn't take good care of me, so if you want to beat me, beat me. ”
When Ling Xi saw that his brother Ling Zhu was beaten, he immediately cried again, even more sad than when he was beaten. Ling Xiao couldn't help but sneer when he saw his eldest son Ling Zhu kneeling in front of him.
He glanced at Jiang Shuangxue, "Madame is really good at managing the family." ”
Ling Xiao's heart couldn't help but be a little disgusted with Jiang Shuangxue again, he looked at Ling Zhu kneeling in front of him, and Ling Xi who was crying on the side, and said to them coldly: "Then let's go to the ancestral hall to reflect." ”
Ling Zhu pulled Ling Xi and walked slowly towards the ancestral hall, Ling Xi, who was already crying into tears, kept looking back at Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao was still drinking and pouring himself angrily, Jiang Shuangxue on the side was trembling, Ling Xi suddenly felt that the father who gradually disappeared in her eyes was both strange and afraid.
"Brother, it's really not me." Ling Xi cried and said to Ling Zhu aggrievedly.
"I know."
"Then why doesn't Daddy just want to believe me?"
"In the Hou Mansion, my father is more willing to believe in Aunt Leng." Ling Zhu said faintly.
