Mother Xu stood at the door and listened to the girl's report, and her face changed.

She is Mrs. Wei's confidant mother, and she almost can't see the clues in her speech and demeanor on weekdays, but now she listened to the girl's words but her face changed, and it was clear that something was wrong.

Mrs. Wei asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu's mother was a little hesitant.

The second lady glanced at the wound on the forehead of the county lord of Yuanheng, raised her eyebrows, covered her face with a tea cup, and did not make a sound.

The third lady couldn't help but be curious, and said, "Mother Xu, in front of the old lady, what can't you say?" ”

Mother Xu frowned, of course she can say it in front of the old lady, but it's not easy to say it in front of you.

But even if she doesn't say this now, the rest of the house will know about it in the future.

So she spoke: "I heard that when the county lord went to Yangzhou, he cried and repented in the Li family ancestral hall, and was in ...... He knelt before the throne for a whole afternoon...... Now the whole capital is talking about it, talking about it everywhere, and saying that the eldest lord was ...... before the county lord and left."

The face of the county lord of Yuanheng turned cold.

The second lady asked curiously: "Huh?" What happened to the eldest lord before the county lord and left? ”

The third lady looked at her with an ignorant look, and sneered in her heart, just pretend.

The cold gaze of the county lord of Yuanheng looked at the second lady, and the second lady didn't realize it, as if Fang Cai really just didn't want to ask.

She looked at the county lord of Yuanheng, and her expression of concern was overflowing, "County lord, I saw that you had a wound on your head just now, but there are many people, and I can't ask about it, this injury, but I got it when I went to Li's house?" The rumor...... I don't know who is so lacking in virtue and making up such nonsense! ”

The county lord of Yuanheng glanced to the side, as if hiding from some filth, "Thank you for your concern, second brother and sister, it's just that I accidentally bumped into it, those rumors are naturally a fictitious thing." ”

The lord of Ping Yen Heng is not very close to the second lady, but the second lady can always behave cordially as usual.

She listened to the explanation of the county lord of Yuanheng, showed a secretive expression, and no longer asked.

The third lady was a little misty, and looked at Old Madam Wei suspiciously.

Old Madam Wei's face became gloomy, and she looked at the eyes of the county lord of Yuanheng with dissatisfaction.

If you can't even handle this little thing, it's really in vain to be a patriarchal mother!

If it weren't for the queen mother's favor, this stupid personality would have been dead for a long time!

Now that the Queen Mother is dead, she doesn't honestly think about how to live a more dignified life in the Wei Mansion, and she actually did such a stupid thing to dismantle her husband's house!

What kind of prestige of the county lord is played!

Old Madam Wei gritted her teeth, trying her best to contain the anger in her chest.

"You all disperse, I have something to say to the county lord alone."

Although everyone didn't want to leave, they didn't dare to go against the will of Old Madam Wei, and looked back and forth on the county lord of Yuanheng for a long time before dragging it out.

In an instant, the room fell silent.

I don't know when the rain has stopped, and the light from the window lattice is flying in the dust.

The county lord of Yuanheng sat in the position of the eldest daughter-in-law, although she was a cut shorter than the old lady Wei at the top, her sight was almost level with the old lady Wei.

She raised her head slightly, and took the initiative to speak without waiting for Old Madam Wei to ask: "I will deal with the rumors as much as possible, and the old lady does not need to worry." ”

Old Madam Wei listened to her words, her eyes lit up for a while, she was noncommittal, and asked carefully about the details of this trip to Li's house.

Of course, the county lord of Yuanheng would not say that he was bad for Li Qingyi's calculations.

"It's just out of respect for Mrs. Li that I put incense on the Li family ancestral hall, and whoever wants to spread it outside has become such an unbearable rumor. But the old lady rest assured, no matter how those people rumor and speculate, I sit upright, and this little wind can't blow down my Yuanheng County Lord. ”

Old Madam Wei's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and she squinted her eyes as she looked at the look of the county lord of Yuanheng.

"The old lady of the Li family, after all, was also your mother-in-law, and it is understandable for you to go to worship, but if the crooked wind blows too much, it will be sick and evil, which is not a good thing for the reputation of the county lord and the Wei family, so don't be too careless, it is better to calm down as soon as possible." Right now, the girl of the Li family is the top priority, and these two things are enough for you to be busy for a while. There are a lot of trivial things at home, and I can't finish it, so I'll let the second and third rooms take care of it for you first, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

The county lord of Yuanheng breathed sluggishly, and the hand in his sleeve was secretly clenched.

Serving in charge of the middle feed is the duty of the housewife, and it is also a symbol of power in the house.

The old lady actually wants to take away her stewardship?

Old Madam Wei didn't wait for her to answer, and said again: "In a few days, it will be the Fanghua banquet of the eldest princess of Deqing, and the post has been sent to all the mansions, so you will take the girl of the Li family to take a walk and meet people." ”

Yuanshui, Chonghua Palace, is the only surviving aunt, the residence of the eldest princess of Deqing.

The eldest princess of Deqing is more than a year old, but she still loves the prosperity of the bustle, every year in the summer when the flowers are fragrant, she has to invite people with a face in Beijing to come to enjoy the flowers.

It is a tacit practice for the ladies and wives of various provinces to see their daughters-in-law and sons-in-law for their children through the Fanghua banquet.

Li Qingyi went to show his face, and then he could take the opportunity to act and make the next arrangement.

When the county lord of Yuanheng thought of Li Qingyi, his heart was full of uneasiness, this girl, would she obediently obey the arrangement of the Wei family?

However, she has to listen if she doesn't listen!

As long as you can borrow Li Qingyi to make the Wei family go further, see what else these ghosts of the Wei family have to say!

Feed?

Just borrow them for a few days!

Thinking of this, the county lord of Yuanheng got up: "I know this matter in my heart, and the old lady can rest assured." ”

Old Madam Wei nodded: "You go." ”

Watching the county lord of Yuanheng go out, Old Madam Wei looked at Mother Xu: "What do you think of this girl?" ”

Mother Xu knew that Old Madam Wei had already made a decision in her heart, so she didn't have to say anything, she just said respectfully: "Knowledge, etiquette, and good looks." ”

"Hmm."

Old Madam Wei snorted in a deep voice: "The girls around her are very good, and they seem to be a few loyal." ”

Mother Xu's eyes flashed, only to hear the old lady say again: "However, how can such a few people be enough to serve." ”

"The slave and maid understand, and they must find a few good ones for Miss Li."

*****

Here, Li Qingyi came out of Heyan Hall.

The subordinates of the Wei Mansion saluted one after another, and their eyes were all filled with curiosity.

Li Qingyi's expression was calm, not at all like he was in someone else's house, it looked like he was walking in his back garden.

waited out of everyone's sight.

Xianglan said in a low voice: "The enthusiasm of the Wei family has scared the slaves and maids, I don't know, I still think you are their own grandson of ten generations!" ”

Li Qingyi said in her heart, she is now more important than the Wei family's own grandson.

Lu Wu interjected on the side: "These second and third ladies, although they look kind on the face, they may not be easy to get along, it is better for the county lord to come with a cold face, at least you can see something on the face." ”

Li Qingyi hooked her lips and smiled: "The undercurrent of the second and third rooms is surging, but in the matter of dealing with the county lord, they are unanimous. ”

"They want to crush the county lord?"

"Without the Queen Mother, the county lord is now just an empty county lord, and that bit of royal blood can't support her backbone, who else will really be afraid? As long as you can get by on the surface, you will definitely do everything you can behind your back, and get back all the gas you have received from the county lord over the years. ”

Otherwise, why did the county lord of Yuanheng rush to find him?

Isn't he afraid that Wei Shicheng will leave her behind, that he will become the laughing stock of the world, and that he won't even be able to deter a small backyard?

"So, if she doesn't raise her head high, face people coldly, and show some might, how can she gain a foothold in the Wei Mansion in the future? The smiling face is not hot, the second lady and the third lady. What's more, she has long been accustomed to being high, and arrogance is carved into her bones. ”
