Chapter 20: The Birthday Feast Is Ruined
"Lianniang, Dong Ge'er said that her mother would be your child, even if you don't like it anymore, you shouldn't abuse a child like this!"
Old Madam Lu was also helped by the maid at this time, and she had a disappointed look on her face.
Dou Lianyi thought that she could be misunderstood and not change her face, but when she stood there, listening to those ugly slanderous words, but no one stood up to help her, she felt a trace of unspeakable discomfort.
The fire burned and burned, as if the flames of the previous life were burning again.
Just when everyone froze in place, a childish but powerful voice rang out.
It turned out to be Fu Qing.
"My mother didn't abuse Dong Ge'er, Dong Ge'er had a nosebleed because he stole ginseng."
It looked like he was trotting all the way, and a thin layer of sweat was already oozing from his cheeks.
"What are you stealing, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Lianzhi was disgusted by Lu Shangxuan before, and the smell on her body was unpleasant, and when she saw those guests secretly pointing fingers at her, she was holding her stomach in her heart, and when she saw Fu Qing, the kid who almost robbed Dong Ge'er of the eldest son's position, sent it to the door, she immediately raised her eyebrows at him.
"Fu Qing, although you said that you passed with Dong Ge'er to Lian Niang as a child, but you slandered Dong Ge'er for such nonsense, and your conduct is really not worthy of being a child of the county king's mansion."
Where was Lu Shangxuan willing to let an orphan from nowhere splash dirty water on his son at will, and immediately wanted to take this opportunity to let Fu Qing leave the county palace.
Before Dou Lianyi could speak out to protect Fu Qing, Fu Qing had already bowed to the gloomy old lady Lu without humility or arrogance.
He said in a calm tone: "That ginseng is grandma's birthday gift, I saw Dong Ge'er pull off the ginseng whiskers of that ginseng, chew it hard and swallow it." ”
In fact, when Fu Qing said ginseng, Mrs. Lu had already believed most of it in her heart.
It's just that she still doesn't want to believe that her grandson would do such a thing, maybe she was just blamed?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the doctor who treated Dong Ge'er also came over to talk back.
"Old Madam Huilu, the little young master's body is fine, it's just because he ate too many tonic medicinal materials in one go, and his body can't accept it for a while, so he will have a nosebleed."
"The medicinal herbs of the Great Supplement? Sister-in-law, you used this method to harm Dong Ge'er! Now that you have the doctor's proof, what else do you have to say! ”
Hearing this, Lu Lianzhi seemed to have grabbed Dou Lianyi's handle, and she became excited all of a sudden, eager to see her being ordered to be driven out of the county king's mansion.
However, at this time, Lu Shangxuan tasted something wrong, and his mother didn't speak for a long time, and a bad conjecture slowly emerged.
Could it really be that Dong Ge'er stole his mother's birthday gift?
"Millennial ginseng should be regarded as a great tonic, right?"
Old Madam Lu asked with a somewhat ugly face.
Sure enough, he got the doctor's affirmative answer: "Yes, and the thousand-year-old ginseng only needs a small ginseng whisker, which is enough to replenish the essence lost by an adult man. ”
"Good, good!"
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she slapped her thigh, that thousand-year-old ginseng was what she was going to use to replenish her body, and it was difficult to buy it, so she was so easily broken by someone!
"Wait, mother, you can't just listen to others, you have to ask Brother Dong, how could Brother Dong do such a thing of stealing chickens and touching dogs!"
Lu Lianzhi was also anxious this time, she hurriedly wanted to step forward to support Mrs. Lu, but she was thrown away in disgust.
Dou Lianyi on the side only felt funny, and mocked lightly: "No wonder it is said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice are born to make holes." ”
After that, she beckoned to Fu Qing and asked him to come to her side.
Fu Qing stepped forward according to his words, saluted Dou Lianyi, and obediently confessed: "Mother, it's me who is not good, I failed to stop Dong Ge'er from stealing grandma's birthday gift in time, please punish my mother." ”
"Then you will be punished to go back to the house and copy the three-character scripture."
Dou Lianyi touched his little head, glanced meaningfully at Lu Shangxuan, who was full of shame, and said slowly: "Especially 'the son does not teach, the father's fault' must be firmly remembered in my heart." ”
"My son will follow his mother's teachings."
Fu Qing's sensibility is in stark contrast to Dong Ge'er's stubbornness, and the guests who came to celebrate his birthday naturally have a tendency in their hearts, and almost all of them looked at Fu Qing with appreciation.
How can Lu Lianzhi stand it?
She was so angry that her eyes were red, and she lost her mind, so she pulled Dong Ge'er to her side and asked loudly: "Tell me if you have stolen grandma's birthday gift, tell me quickly!" ”
Dong Ge'er had never been treated so roughly by Lu Lianzhi, and he was dissatisfied all of a sudden, and while struggling, he shouted loudly: "I'll just eat it, what's the matter, isn't it just a small birthday gift, anyway, the entire county palace will be mine in the future!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Lianzhi's heart suddenly sank, knowing that this was completely over.
Not to mention Lu Shangxuan, his eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't believe that Dong Ge'er would say such a rebellious thing.
After Mrs. Lu shouted a few times, "Rebel, rebel", she was so angry that she fainted completely.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, hurriedly pinching the people among the people, and shouting the doctor and the doctor.
Poor doctor, before he could go far, he was called back again.
For a while, the entire county king's mansion was disturbed, and no one remembered that today was Mrs. Lu's birthday.
In the chaos, Dou Lianyi took the opportunity to retreat quietly with Fu Qing.
"Have you eaten?"
Dou Lianyi took Fu Qing's little hand, walked on the empty path, and asked.
"Not yet," Fu Qing shook his head, and honestly took the initiative to explain: "Young lady, in fact, Dong Ge'er didn't want to eat ginseng at first, but I thought of a way to tempt him to eat it." ”
Dou Lianyi just smiled at Fu Qing's words, and did not blame him, but asked him with some curiosity: "You also taught him that sentence?" ”
"No, he himself showed it off to me, saying that his mother always said it in private, and he took it for granted after a long time."
Dou Lianyi shook his head and mocked in a low voice: "Heh, it's really something she will do." ”
Fu Qing didn't ask much, but quietly followed Dou Lianyi to Juyue Pavilion.
Countless exquisite dishes have been placed inside, just waiting for the guests to feast.
It's a pity that Mrs. Lu has already been dizzy, and no one is destined to come to this birthday banquet.
"Sit down and eat together."
Dou Lianyi pulled Fu Qing and wanted him to sit next to him to eat together, but he found that he couldn't drag him, so he raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.
"The young lady doesn't wonder why I ......"
Before Fu Qing could finish speaking, Dou Lianyi raised his finger and gently touched his lips, stopping him from continuing.
Dou Lianyi bent his eyebrows and put a piece of osmanthus cake in Fu Qing's bowl: "Just as you don't wonder why I asked Xiao Liuzi to install a swill bucket in the warehouse, we all have our own secrets, right?" ”
Fu Qing was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the young lady in front of him was obviously smiling like a flower, but there was a trace of gloom in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
The next day, Dou Lianyi heard Bai Zhi say that the first thing Mrs. Lu did after waking up was to completely drive Lu Lianzhi to Yiyuan, and she was not allowed to step into the county king's mansion for half a step.
And Dong Ge'er was also confined to the courtyard for a month and was not allowed to come out.
Seeing that Bai Zhi was smiling from ear to ear, completely forgetting that she had only been slapped yesterday, Dou Lianyi nodded her forehead helplessly and gave a warning.
"You, you can do this in the yard, you have to pay attention to your words and deeds when you leave the yard, lest one day when I am not by your side, you will be bullied again."
"Got it, young lady, didn't I think that evil would be rewarded," Bai Zhi stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, and then returned to the topic: "By the way, young lady, I'll send the gift to the 'Fengxue Pavilion' later, do you have anything to bring to Gongzi Qin?" ”
Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "No." ”
With her current status as the young lady of the county king's mansion, she also needs to avoid suspicion.
The chatter under the campfire that night could only be the only light in her memory, but it could not illuminate the path to her revenge.
"Young lady."
