Chapter 160 Confrontation
Mrs. Zhu is currently the top leader in Ruixiang Courtyard, and she is also the most useful woman to the young Xie Shumin.
It stands to reason that Xie Shumin is ignorant, and there must be someone always giving advice to her every move. Mrs. Zhu has become the most suspicious one. After all, since she was transferred to Ruixiang Yard, Xie Shumin's wet nurse Shen Mom, was moved elsewhere.
So to scare the monkeys, they had to kill the chickens. Mrs. Zhu sent her to the door herself. Of course Xie Shuning would not be polite.
After hearing her instructions, Turan put down the black cloth rolled up on the cage again, covering the half-dead expensive pet inside tightly. Since she didn't know the way, the bird had to go through Yuzi. deliver.
"When you meet Mrs. Zhu, you don't need to say anything. Just put your things down and come back." Xie Shuning motioned for her to take the birdcage from Tu Lan, and then said, "If you meet Lu Nong, take a good look. She is now In Ruixiang Courtyard, who is more honorable than Mrs. Zhu?"
Yu Zi tried her best to take a few deep breaths. After her rapid breathing calmed down, she stepped forward and reached out to pick up the engraved birdcage.
She held up the cage weakly and asked softly: "Miss, isn't this a bad idea?"
After all, everyone can see that Xie Shumin is very popular with Mr. Liu.
This was also bought specially by Mr. Sixth Master Xie Yuanmao as a gift to Xie Shumin. The male bird died earlier, and Aunt Dong suffered the same fate.
Now that the only one left has its wings broken by Xie Shuning, I'm afraid it will also cause trouble.
Xie Shuning smiled and said nothing, only shook her head slightly.
Yuzi knew that she had to send the bird off, so she had to retreat. She left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and went to Ruixiang Courtyard, which was not far away.
In the Ruixiang Courtyard, Xie Shumin had already gone to see the female gentleman, and Mrs. Zhu was talking to Lu Nong as she put her shoes in the second room.
What happened this morning was a wake-up call for them.
Xie Shuning just came back and gave them a warning. In a few days, I don't know what the house will look like.
Mrs. Zhu bit off a piece of cotton thread, curled her lips and said, "Your mother is back with my wife. Why don't you go and see her?"
"See what she did. She has been away for more than a year and has never cared about my life or death. Now that she is back, do you want me to go up and pour tea and water?" Lu Neng was unhappy and put the shoe chisel in his hand into the basket on the side. Throw it away, he said with a frown.
Mrs. Zhu sneered. "Your mother is a popular person around my wife, so you can just make excuses. If there is any news, she should know it earlier than you and I."
Lu Nong laughed, "She is very useless and doesn't know anything at all."
"Girl, are you trying to trick me?" Mrs. Zhu stretched out her hand and slapped her on the back. The force was not small, and she said with a fake smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zi also carried the birdcage and followed the others through the door.
On the way to see Mrs. Zhu, her mind was gradually clouded by doubts.
Ruixiangyuan was actually very different from what she had thought before.
Just looking at her like this, Mrs. Zhu seems to be a very capable person.
Her hand holding the birdcage became a little harder, and her steps became a little heavier.
"Hey, isn't this the Yuzi girl next to Miss Eight? What kind of wind has brought the girl here?"
Yu Zi had not gone far. Mrs. Zhu was already standing on the stone steps in front of the house, looking at her with a smile and saying with enthusiasm.
"Miss Ninth's bird has flown into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again."
"Eh? This bird is really disobedient!" Mrs. Zhu smiled and never mentioned what Zhuo's mother said that night, "In the past, Miss Eight was not in the house, and this bird was used to flying to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. I'm afraid it was just for fun. After having fun, it is difficult to change the route and fly somewhere else.”
As she spoke, she had already descended the stone steps and reached out to take the birdcage in Yu Zi's hand.
Yu Zi said nothing, stuffed the cage into her hand, and then let go.
"Miss Yuzi, please take a break before leaving." Facing Yuzi, who was not as senior as Zhuo's mother in terms of seniority or age, Mrs. Zhu didn't take her seriously from the bottom of her heart. Although she asked earnestly, her eyes were frivolous and disdainful.
Fortunately, Yu Zi had received personal advice from Xie Shuning before she came. Otherwise, given her temperament, she would have been tempted to give the old pious woman some color so that she would know what she was.
After enduring it for a while, Yu Zi lowered her hands and laughed, saying, "Mom, you're too polite. Miss Eight is still waiting for my reply and can't rest."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhu said: "The eighth lady is older and indeed different. In this case, I will not keep the girl."
The woman's voice was filled with lingering pride, and she didn't know what she was proud of.
Yu Zi felt uncomfortable, so she mumbled a few words and turned away.
As he was leaving, a goose-yellow figure appeared in the corner of his eye.
Her steps faltered, and she quietly looked towards the goose-yellow color.
Before he could get a clear look, the curtain at the door was lowered, and the goose-yellow figure disappeared suddenly, leaving only the curtain swaying slightly.
When Mrs. Zhu saw it, she said, "That's Miss Lv Nong next to Miss Ninth."
"I know her." Yu Zi nodded, withdrew his gaze and walked forward.
Staring at her leaving back, Mrs. Zhu spat and said disdainfully: "Look at her frivolous look, and I know her, little hooves!"
After scolding, she carried the birdcage and walked into the house. As soon as the curtain was lifted, people wandered in.
Lu Nong was lying on the window lattice, looking outside, and finally regained his sight.
Mrs. Zhu put the birdcage on the kang and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Can't you just take a look?" Lu Neng dusted off his wrinkled clothes and sat down.
Mrs. Zhu pretended not to hear and reached out to take the black cloth covering the birdcage.
As soon as the black cloth was removed, the bird inside screamed faintly due to the sudden brightening of light, but remained motionless, let alone flapped its wings in an attempt to fly out of the cage.
Mrs. Zhu was puzzled, so she tentatively stretched out her hand to touch it.
As soon as she touched her, Mrs. Zhu turned pale and stumbled: "Oh no... this is really bad..."
Lu Nong looked over and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Zhu turned to look at her: "This bird, this bird's wings are broken..."
"Ah?" Lu Nong's face suddenly turned pale, and then he cursed through gritted teeth, "The bird was only sent back from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. This matter must have something to do with it!"
Mrs. Zhu rubbed her back molars, "Miss Eighth's hand must have been stretched too long!"
Lu Nong echoed: "No, Master Six bought this bird for Miss Ninth. The whole family knows it, and everyone takes it as a treasure. Now, Miss Eight is not a slap in Master Six's face."
?”
"If the Sixth Master finds out, he will definitely be unhappy, and he will inevitably punish the Eighth Lady severely." Mrs. Zhu looked at the green-feathered bird in the cage, and her heart gradually calmed down, "It seems that I have to report this matter to the Sixth Master.
You are good."
With this thought in mind, Mrs. Zhu hurriedly carried the birdcage and went to see Xie Yuanmao.
When we arrived at the place, we discovered that the Song family was also there.
The couple seemed to be gossiping about Mobei.
Madam Zhu suddenly had the idea of retreating, but when she thought of leaving, it was too late, as Mother Gui had already seen her.
There is no reason for a servant woman in the house to come directly to see the master without going through the mistress. Mrs. Zhu felt very guilty. When she entered the door, her two legs were trembling and her hands were a little soft.
Although she was arrogant and proud, she also understood that if she really offended Mrs. Song, there would be no good fruit for her. Mrs. Song could send her out tomorrow and it would be difficult for her to beg for food.
Mrs. Zhu stood still tremblingly, not daring to put down the birdcage in her hand.
"What's the matter?" In front of Mrs. Song, Xie Yuanmao couldn't directly ask if something happened to Miss Ninth, so he could only ask politely and roughly.
Mrs. Zhu lowered her head, not daring to say anything.
"What's the matter? Can't you tell me in front of me?" Mrs. Song saw this, smiled, took a sip of the sweet tea in the cup, and said, "Just tell me."
Madam Zhu had no choice but to carefully put the birdcage on the table, lifted the black cloth, and said: "This bird was just sent back by Miss Yuzi who was next to Miss Eighth, and it looks like this. The slave girl is panicked, afraid of Miss Ninth
He would cry when he saw it, so he had no choice but to overstep his bounds and bring him directly to Mr. Liu to ask for a solution."
Hearing the Eighth Miss, Song's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly, "Is this bird dead?"
Mrs. Zhu shook her head quickly: "Not yet, I just had my wings broken."
"Possibly a cure?" Mrs. Song said.
But it was a bird, and Mrs. Song didn't care about it at all. She asked this question just because in front of Xie Yuanmao, the matter was related to Xie Shuning.
It may not be curable, how could Mrs. Zhu know?
Seeing Mrs. Song looking at her with bright eyes, Mrs. Zhu forced herself to calm down and said, "Maybe it can be cured."
Xie Yuanmao then said: "Okay, why did the eighth lady pick it up?"
Mrs. Zhu was startled, then realized that Xie Yuanmao had misunderstood her words.
"This bird likes to fly towards the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Miss Eight found it noisy, so..." Xie Yuanmao spoke, and Mrs. Zhu became bolder.
Xie Yuanmao was stunned when he heard this.
He doesn't pay attention to the little quarrels between children.
But according to Mrs. Zhu, the bird's wings were deliberately broken because Xie Shuning was too noisy, and things became different.
After a while, he said: "Go and invite Miss Eighth and Miss Ninth here, and take the bird back."
After the instructions were taken, he called the boy and asked him to take his name card and ask for a veterinarian.
Mrs. Song didn't interrupt until she heard this: "It seems that Mr. Six has already made up his mind on this matter, so I won't bother Mr. Six and will go back first."
Xie Yuanmao stood up in a hurry to keep her, but thinking that it would be better for him to lecture his daughter if Mrs. Song was not here, he swallowed the words that had risen to his throat.
Not long after Mrs. Song left, sisters Xie Shuning and Xie Shumin entered the door one after the other.
The two met separately, and Xie Yuanmao directly explained the matter in a few words.
Before the words left her mouth, Xie Shumin had tears in her eyes and looked at Xie Shuning with a sad look on her face.
Xie Shuning said with an innocent face: "Is it possible that my father made a mistake? This bird did indeed fly under my window, and my daughter did find it too noisy, so she had someone catch it and return it to Minmin. When she sent it to her, it was still fine.
.Father, think about it, if
If my daughter really wants to be a villain, why not just kill the bird instead of breaking its wings? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
