Chapter 50: Where Did Madame Go?
All the evidence is clear, the chief steward is even right, and many of them are on Yu Xijiao's list.
Something is missing.
Hongling could barely defend herself before, saying that it was Yu Xijiao's frame, but Mama Gao here is really the big steward who looked at the search, there is a small marigold on it, and there is a melon seed shell that Mama Gao swallowed, which has not had time to fall down.
Seeing all the things that were searched out, Mama Gao's body shook, knowing that it was over, and the evidence was ironclad.
Hongling's veil was also torn out, and she just cried and collapsed to the ground at this time......
Yu Xijiao followed the chief steward to Yu Ruiwen's study.
In the study, after the chief steward explained the cause and effect of the matter, Yu Ruiwen was furious: "Dog minion, you are so presumptuous!" β
"Father, I don't dare to ask for the maid ring and mother-in-law in this yard, I'm afraid that there will be many Caiyue and Mama Wang by then." Yu Xijiao smiled bitterly, and a pale little face raised and looked at Yu Ruiwen.
An unfaithful maid and mother-in-law can cause such a disaster, let alone such a large group.
"The first two rods are thirty, and after that they are all sold." Thinking of this consequence, Yu Ruiwen's anger rushed up even more, he never thought that there would be so many disloyal subordinates in his mansion, and he couldn't help but say angrily, "What about the Qian family? β
"Madame is not in the house." The chief steward was silent for a moment and said, this was discovered when the little maid went to inquire about Mama Gao's whereabouts.
"Where did she go? I went back to the house and didn't deal with the affairs of the house, where did I go? Yu Ruiwen said angrily.
"I went to the Marquis Mansion." The Grand Steward.
"Father, maybe Madame is in a hurry to deal with the affairs of the three girls of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and my affairs...... It's not a big deal, you don't have to be embarrassed. β
Yu Xijiao said softly.
How can life-related things not be a big deal, if you say it's not a big deal, it's just that you don't care.
Yu Ruiwen looked at the girl in front of her, wearing a milky white embroidered plum blossom short skirt, a light lotus-colored breast-length skirt, a plum-shaped hairpin on her sideburns, bright eyes and bright teeth, a smile, only a trace of gloom at the bottom of her eyes.
After all, she is only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she is a newcomer to Beijing, so how can she not care about the opinions of her relatives in the capital.
Thinking that she had just experienced a death catastrophe, she almost didn't even have her life, and now she finally returned home, not only was her things stolen by evil slaves, but none of the slaves in the yard took her to heart, but even so, she was still prevaricating for the Qian family, and she didn't want to be embarrassed by being a father.
Raising his daughter in Jiangnan for so many years, Yu Ruiwen really didn't care much, on the one hand, of course, because there were a lot of daughters, and on the other hand, because he was very relieved to hand over people to Mrs. Xie, and now he found out...... In fact, he was ashamed of his father, and he felt guilty for a while.
"Jiao'er, don't worry, this matter will definitely give you justice as a father, and you will not suffer, and a group of dog minions will dare to ...... This is what my daughter does. Yu Ruiwen said angrily, for the first time in his heart, he had the idea that this was his daughter in front of him, and he needed to protect his daughter.
used to be strong in the eldest princess's mansion, but it was only because her mother supported her, but now when she arrives at her own Xuanping Marquis Mansion, she immediately becomes a little pitiful, and she feels more and more uncomfortable and pitiful when she thinks about it.
"But this ...... People who heard that they were ladies always ...... Always wait for the lady to come back and dispose of it! Yu Xijiao bit her lip, looking a little uneasy, and her raised eyes blinked uneasily, which made people feel more and more that she was compromised.
"Even these few people can't take care of it well, and they went to manage the Yuanhou Mansion, Uncle Shen asked people to find the lady, and the two dog slaves were directly disposed of at the door!" Yu Ruiwen snorted coldly, becoming more and more dissatisfied with the Qian family.
Their own affairs have not been properly handled, so they actually ran to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and they didn't see the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion like this, it was all their own fault.
The chief steward was ordered to step down.
"Father!" Yu Xijiao raised her face, looked at Yu Ruiwen with bright eyes, her beautiful eyes were as clear as water, she took a step back, solemnly bowed to Yu Ruiwen, and said generously, "Thank you, father." β
This is the daughter who was in the eldest princess's mansion in Anhe before, compared to Fang Cai's submissiveness, he made compromises, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye, Yu Ruiwen laughed, and his mood was immediately comfortable, which showed that he also maintained his daughter like her mother, and made the younger daughter feel that she was also confident.
The child's performance was really direct, and he looked a little timid, but now he has stabilized all of a sudden, which makes Yu Ruiwen feel a little more satisfied with his pampered daughter.
The eldest daughter is a stable one, and she is just an adopted daughter, and she is not usually close to him.
The second daughter is her own daughter, with a gentle temperament, although she will also be close to herself, but she must not be as innocent and pure as the younger daughter, whether it is the expression on her face or her demeanor, it is clearly displayed, like a transparent crystal.
Good or bad, the reaction is very direct and simple.
I was unfamiliar when I first met, and then I didn't even dare to come to see myself, and then something happened in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, and I hid in Xie Mansion in fear, and was taken into the Mansion of the eldest princess by my mother, and was cared for by my mother, and immediately became bold, and dared to contradict the Qian family, and Yu Ruiwen was also disliked at that time.
Now I feel that my daughter is true temperament, naΓ―ve and childish, and the younger daughter has a heavier temperament, and her love and hate are obvious.
Yu Ruiwen is not happy in the officialdom, the officialdom is the most particular about the same look, even if the biggest thing happens, he has to hold it, and now the little daughter is here, whether she is happy or wronged, it is obvious, they are all true temperaments, and they are very comfortable to get along with, you don't have to guess what she thinks, the expression on her face is already clear.
Thinking about it like this, I feel more and more that I have to protect this little daughter.
For so many years, he has indeed mistreated his little daughter, and it is no wonder that his mother wants to reprimand herself.
"You are my daughter, the daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping, or the granddaughter of the eldest princess, not to mention a few slaves, even if it is an ordinary daughter of a family, I don't dare to mess with you when I see you." Yu Ruiwen reached out and gently touched the top of her daughter's hair, and gently admonished.
"Father, don't you dare to mess with me if someone else's daughter is gone?" Yu Xijiao said with a coquettish voice.
"Yes, I can't mess with you!" Yu Ruiwen nodded.
"Father, I heard Mama Gao and Hongling say that the owner of Yaoshui Pavilion is...... Miss Qian, saying that I am only living here temporarily, and in the end everything is Miss Qian's, is this true? β
Yu Xijiao asked curiously.
"What nonsense, Qian Lizhen is just staying temporarily, you are the master, she is just a guest." Yu Duanwen shook his hand and said disapprerovingly.
"And what about her next visit? Shall I give up the yard? Yu Xijiao asked.
Yu Ruiwen's face sank: "She is a guest, you are the host, she is only a guest house, is it possible to occupy your main courtyard!" β
But Mama Gao said...... Miss Qian is not a guest. "Yu Xijiao lowered her head," Gao said...... Just like I was in Jiangnan, my grandmother gave me the main courtyard, so our house also has to prepare the main courtyard for Miss Qian, and many things in my yard are at the behest of Mama Gao...... It's all what Miss Qian likes, and it's all unchanging. β
Although Yu Xijiao said it with a smile, her eyes were a little less bright, and her long eyelashes flashed twice, hiding a trace of gloom at the bottom of her eyes.
"What nonsense is this dog slave talking about, you are in Jiangnan at your grandmother's house, how is it the same as Qian Lizhen in our house, you are my daughter, what is Qian Lizhen, it would be good for her to come over and let her live in a guest room, is it possible to specially entertain her in a main courtyard?" Yu Ruiwen was furious.
In the backyard, Yu Ruiwen has always let the Qian family take care of it, and there are no elders in the house, the Qian family has arranged everything, and Yu Duanwen has never interfered, but he still knows that Qian Lizhen did live in Yaoshui Pavilion before.
Yu Ruiwen didn't think much about it before, anyway, just live empty, but now that he thinks about it, he is inexplicably annoyed, and a wave of anger rushes up, Qian and Qian Lizhen won't really regard their own Xuanping Hou Mansion as a Qian Mansion!
How could a mother-in-law surnamed Gao have such a big burden to say such things to her daughter, needless to say that this matter has something to do with the Qian family.
The Qian family really didn't know what to say, and raised a niece as the daughter of the Hou Mansion.
"Father, can the people in my yard choose by themselves?" Yu Xijiao saw that the fire was almost arched, so she put forward a new request.
"Naturally, it is possible, but it will take a few days for Ya Po to find suitable manpower, you have only a few people now, it is better to let your mother arrange a few more people to come over to support a few days first." How does Yu Ruiwen think of his little daughter now, and said gently at the moment.
"Father, I still don't want it, I'm a little afraid." Yu Xijiao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, with a little panic.
This reminded Yu Ruiwen of the dog minions sent to his little daughter, but none of them were good, and he was sullen and angry: "Okay, this matter ...... Then it's up to you. β
"Thank you, father!" Yu Xijiao bowed sideways.
Yu Ruiwen comforted her daughter a few more words, and then let Yu Xijiao go back.
The door of the study has been beaten, Mama Gao and Hongling only have one breath left, and they were dragged to the firewood room covered in blood, and there are people in the house who watched this scene from a distance, trembling.
Yu Xijiao walked over with a calm expression, didn't take a few steps, suddenly stopped, looked up at the front, not far away Qian hurriedly came over, saw Yu Xijiao stopped, and was about to speak.
Yu Xijiao bowed sideways, and then left with Qingyue Shi Shiran, but she didn't say a word to Qian, and the green tendons on Qian's forehead were violent, and she turned her head and looked at Yu Xijiao's back fiercely.
"Madam, I'll talk about the matter of the third girl later." Mama Xi reminded her by her side.
Qian will understand, this cheap girl is only arrogant for the past few days, and her reputation will be ruined in the future, look at how she still has the face to see people, and when the time comes, whether she will live or die is not her own words.
He took a hard breath and raised his leg to the study.
When he arrived at the door, he saw two pools of blood, Qian's face changed greatly, and he reached out to support Mama Xi's feet in a mess, almost tripping over his feet.
"Ma'am." Mama Xi hurriedly held on......
