Chapter 17: Full of Flaws
At this time, the subordinates who were called away returned to the courtyard one after another.
The old lady glanced at the maids beside her, and those subordinates knelt in the courtyard and waited for the order.
Her gaze swept coldly over the subordinate, "Where have you just been?" ”
The subordinates looked at each other and replied in unison, "I went to the lady's courtyard to listen to the training." ”
Old Madam Shi snorted coldly, "Are you old and confused when I am?" How could she just reprimand you when she called you away? ”
"If you don't recruit truthfully, don't blame me for ignoring the feelings of my former master and servant!"
The subordinates didn't say a word, and only when they looked closely could they find the forbearance between their eyebrows.
Shi Yan walked up to Mrs. Shi and proposed: "They are all cheap slaves, and they will say everything after beating them with thirty sticks." ”
"Come on, take ......"
Before Shi Yan finished speaking, someone stood up, "Old lady, Madam called us over to send us to Zhuangzi and ask the old lady to make decisions for us!" ”
Shi Yan was stunned, "Why did you send you to Zhuangzi?" ”
The man sighed lightly, and his tone was very dissatisfied, "Second Miss, Madame thinks that we have seen her privacy, and she is afraid that we will say it!" We have been serving the old lady for many years, but we are all clumsy people who can do hard work. ”
"On the way back, we were worried that if the old lady did the same thing, we would have no choice, so we didn't know how to speak."
Shi Yan and Mrs. Shi glanced at each other, and they both saw the light flashing in each other's eyes.
"You are people in my courtyard, so naturally you will not let outsiders deal with you, and you can do your own thing with peace of mind."
After sending the subordinates away, Shi Yan looked at Mrs. Shi excitedly, "Mother, I thought that Le Xilan was really not afraid, it turned out to be just a bad thing, we have to make good use of this matter!" ”
Old Madam Shi frowned slightly, "It's not proper, you must not let that slut know the current situation of the eldest prince." ”
Shi Yan looked at her puzzled, "But now the eldest prince hasn't woken up yet, and no one will say anything if we dispose of that slut with his excuse." ”
"There is such a justifiable reason as murdering the prince, there is no such thing as missing it!"
Old Madam Shi secretly clenched her fists, she naturally understood what Shi Yan meant.
Using this as a way to coerce Le Xilan into submission, it is not a bad way, but this move is too dangerous, if she fails, she will be more passive than now.
She thought for a moment, "Let me think about it." ”
Shi Yan hurriedly said, "Mother, what else is there to think about?" How much does that slut know about us? If she spreads these things, my life will be ruined! ”
She grabbed Mrs. Shi's hand hard, her eyes full of pleading.
Old Madam Shi gritted her teeth, "I know, save you a lot of dreams at night." ”
She turned her head and instructed the maid to bring a few clever guards to follow her, and when she walked to Le Xilan's courtyard, she found that the lights were bright, as if she was waiting for someone.
"Mother, what is she doing with so many lights?" Shi Yan was puzzled.
"Knowing that when I wake up, my mother and Yan'er will come to see me, and I am worried that the moonlight will be dim, and you will not be able to see the road under your feet clearly and fall on your heels."
Le Xilan walked out of the house, looked at the two of them with a smile, and said something.
Old Madam Shi had a gloomy face, "Could it be that I can't see you anymore?" What do you mean by that? ”
"I was a little thoughtful, but my mother-in-law blamed me like this, thinking that I had done something wrong."
Le Xilan's posture was extremely low, but the old lady felt disobedient.
In just a few words, she was said to be a mean daughter-in-law's evil mother-in-law, and if it was spread, her reputation for hard work would be ruined!
Today's Le Xilan is really sharp!
"Why are mother-in-law and Yan'er still standing outside, this season is about to enter winter, beware of the wind and cold, tomorrow I will tell the housekeeper to buy more silver bone carbon for my mother-in-law."
Old Madam Shi almost gritted her teeth, she glared at Le Xilan viciously, "It's just that I've been reading the account book for a few days, and this housekeeping power hasn't reached you yet!" ”
Le Xilan smiled lightly, "Sooner or later, my mother-in-law always has to get used to it." ”
Shi Yan, who was standing on the side, lost her patience and shouted loudly: "Mother, don't talk nonsense with her!" ”
"Come on, take her down for me!"
The nurse received the order and immediately stepped forward to take down Le Xilan, and Songmi hurriedly blocked in front of her.
"I see who dares!"
Shi Yan sneered, "You're just a little, how can you speak?" ”
"Leave her alone, hurry up and do it for me!"
Songmi's body tensed, and a hand fell softly on her shoulder, gently pulling her back.
Le Xilan took a step forward, his gaze coldly swept towards those nursing homes, and the nursing homes immediately took a step back in fear.
"What is this doing, sister-in-law? Even if you want to take me down, you should be charged with a crime, right? ”
Shi Yan tilted her head, her eyebrows and eyes full of schadenfreude.
"Murdering the prince is a serious crime!"
"But the eldest prince is generous, as long as you apologize to him well, the eldest prince can be lightly dismissed."
Le Xilan's face was unwavering, and he was not surprised by Shi Yan's words at all.
She smiled lightly, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes fell on the old lady.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
The old lady's body was shocked, and she subconsciously looked away.
"Yan'er said it very clearly, there is no need for me to repeat it."
Le Xilan smiled, and her phoenix eyes were cold, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go to the emperor to distinguish one or two." ”
"When the time comes, even if the emperor punishes the crime, I will be willing."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and Le Xilan called the people in her courtyard to give a lecture, wasn't she afraid that people would chew their tongues and have a bad reputation?
Why does she dare to make trouble in front of the emperor now!
"Are you crazy!" Old Madam Shi said loudly.
Le Xilan slowly walked in front of her and stared at her tightly, "This matter has been entangled by my mother-in-law for a long time, I have to take care of my husband, I really work hard, it is better to solve it once and for all, and I can have less trouble in the future." ”
"Mother-in-law is attentive to the eldest prince in everything, maybe the emperor can take me lightly in this matter."
She smiled and approached the old lady and whispered, "What does my mother-in-law think?" ”
Cold sweat broke out on the back of the old lady, and her fingertips had pierced her palms.
Le Xilan saw something!
She has been hiding for so many years, it is impossible for her to show her flaws!
But when she and Le Xilan looked at each other, those eyes seemed to have seen through her.
Shi Yan was still shouting on the side, "Who are you scaring about!" The eldest prince came out of your room so badly injured, did you make it clear! ”
Le Xilan looked at Mrs. Shi meaningfully, and slowly spoke, "I naturally can't argue, mother-in-law, let's enter the palace now." ”
"Songmi, go and set the carriage."
When the old lady saw that Songmi was going out, she hurriedly stepped forward to block her way.
"Enough! It's late at night, the emperor has already fallen asleep, and this matter will be talked about another day! ”
After speaking, she pulled Shi Yan, who was out of condition, and left.
Le Xilan looked at their backs and motioned for Songmi to close the door.
Her face was frosty, and she turned and walked back to her room.
A man who hides secrets, full of flaws.
