When he came to the gate of the courtyard, Wei Ruo really saw Mama Li, who had not been seen for a long time, who was a little darker and thinner than two months ago.

She knelt on her knees and kowtowed to Wei Ruo as soon as she saw Wei Ruo coming.

Her actions attracted several people from the mansion to stop and watch at the door of Tingsong Garden.

Seeing this scene, Xiumei's brows were knotted, she pulled Wei Ruo, and whispered to express her worries: "Miss, what should I do?" Mama Li: This is on purpose! What do you want to do by making such a big commotion and attracting so many people to watch? ”

"I know what she wants to do, she wants to ruin your young lady's reputation." Wei Ruo knew it.

When Wei Ruo first entered the mansion, Mama Li was the person responsible for teaching Wei Ruo's rules, nominally, she was also half of Wei Ruo's teacher, and she was an old man from the Earl's Palace.

Wei Ruo and Mama Li were so tough that day, and they were-for-tat when they confronted each other, according to this style of acting, Wei Ruo not only didn't appreciate it when he saw Mama Li kowtowing, but he was likely to ridicule it again.

At that time, Wei Ruo will have a bad reputation for making things difficult for the old lady in the house, so that everyone in the house will have a bad impression of her as the eldest lady.

"What then?" Xiumei said worriedly.

"Don't worry, look at me." Wei Ruo gently patted Xiumei's hand.

Then he walked up to Mama Li: "Mama Li, this can't be done!" ”

"If the eldest lady doesn't forgive the old slave today, the old slave won't be able to kneel for a long time!" Mama Li said with a sad face.

"What does Mama Li mean by this? When did I blame you? Hurry up, you are an old man in the house, and you have just suffered in the Zhuangzi, so you don't want to kneel like this! ”

Wei Ruo said that he was going to come forward to help Mama Li.

Mama Li raised her head and looked at Wei Ruo with a surprised expression.

Wei Ruo in Mama Li's memory was arrogant, rude, and rude, and never learned etiquette well, looking self-righteous, and when there was a dispute, Wei Ruo also had a head-on confrontation with her.

According to her understanding of Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo shouldn't have reacted like this!

"Miss, you don't blame me?" Mama Li asked.

"I argued with Mama that day because Mama did something wrong, and my life was at stake, I was naturally anxious, and now that the matter has passed, the second brother has recovered, and you have been punished, why should I be angry with you again, unless...... Mama, are you going to continue to make mistakes and continue to get along with me? There was a shallow smile hidden in the corner of Wei Ruo's mouth.

"No, no, the old slave has reformed and will not do it again!" Mama Li said busily.

As he spoke, he kowtowed again.

"Mama Li, what are you doing, I forgive you, why do you still kowtow?"

"The old slave is ashamed, afraid that the eldest lady will not forgive me."

"I can't help it, Mama Li, you are old, if you break your body and fall at my door, what should you do? Xiumei, quickly help Mama Li up. ”

"Yes Miss."

Xiumei strode forward.

"Mama Li, get up." Xiumei didn't give Mama Li time to react, so she copied Mama Li's arm with both hands and lifted the person up directly.

Before Mama Li came back to her senses, she heard Wei Ruo continue:

"Then check her knee to see if there's any bruises."

After Wei Ruo finished speaking, Mama Li panicked and hurriedly stopped: "No need, no need, I'm not hurt!" ”

But how can her reaction speed be compared to Xiumei, Xiumei touched Mama Li's knee with lightning speed.

The palm of the hand touched not a hard kneecap, but a soft mass.

Xiumei's heart was clear, her eyes were quick, she reached under Mama Li's skirt and removed the knee pads she tied to her knees.

When the knee pads appeared in front of everyone, everyone invariably showed surprised expressions, and after a moment turned to disdain.

Wei Ruo said unhurriedly: "Mama really pays attention to her body, and she came to apologize to me and didn't forget to protect her knees." ”

Mama Zhang happened to come over to talk to Wei Ruo about the matter, and as soon as she arrived at the gate of Tingsongyuan, she bumped into this scene, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.

Mama Zhang took the lead, and the other onlookers also laughed.

Listening to the ridicule of everyone, Mama Li was embarrassed and indignant, pulled the knee pad in Xiumei's hand, turned around and ran.

Xiumei smiled and walked back to Wei Ruo's side: "Miss, how do you know that she has knee pads?" ”

"The surface of the bluestone slabs and bricks on the ground here is rough and uneven, and the young knees can't bear it when you kneel, let alone Mama Li's age? She didn't come to apologize to me sincerely, so she was naturally reluctant to let herself suffer. Wei Ruo analyzed.

"I see, it's still the young lady who is smart!"

"Then my Meimei has to be fast!"

"So I'm fit to be by Miss's side for the rest of my life!" Xiumei said with a smile.

The master and servant returned to the courtyard with a smile and a smile, and the rest of the onlookers also dispersed.

Mama Li hurriedly ran back to Wangmei Garden.

Seeing Mama Li coming back in embarrassment, Wei Qingwan came up worried and came up to inquire about the situation: "Mama, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Miss, what's going on? I have been in the country for two months, why has the eldest lady's temperament changed so much. "Mama Li still can't believe it.

"This ...... I don't know, I've never understood my sister. ”

Wei Qingwan lowered her head and murmured, "In the past, you always said that your sister was a vulgar and arrogant person, and she pretended to be so decent in front of her parents and brothers. But for such a long time, I have never seen my sister be blamed for her vulgarity and arrogance, but often use etiquette to suppress me. ”

Wei Qingwan said again: "When you said that you were going to give my sister some colors, I stopped Mama because of this." ”

Mama Li's brows furrowed into the word "Sichuan", and she said with some annoyance: "It seems that I underestimated this Wei Qingruo before!" Miss, don't worry, I was sloppy this time, and now that I'm back, I have time to fight with her slowly! ”

"Mama, isn't that good...... In case ......"

"Miss, don't worry, this is all my own idea, even if something happens later, I am the only one responsible, and I will never drag you down, Miss!" Mama Li assured Wei Qingwan.

How can that be? Mama, you do all this for me! How can I stay out of it? ”

"I was punished because of Wei Qingruo, I already had a grudge against her, this time Miss interceded for me, let me go back to the house a month earlier, I have kindness, I have to do this, Miss, you don't have to persuade."

Mama Li has made up her mind.

Two days later, in the evening, when everyone in the Wei Mansion was drinking tea after dinner, Wei Mingting, who had not been home for seven days, suddenly returned.

Dressed in armor, his robe has not been taken off, his face is covered with dirt, and his hair is messy.
