In Songhe Hall, Grandma Wang kicked out all the girls and women serving in the room, leaving only a few masters from the Li Mansion.
Grandma Wang closed the door and returned to Mrs. Cui.
Li Man'er knew that Grandma Wang was a smiling tiger and one of the most capable people around Cui. Others might not be able to hear these words, but Grandma Wang could.
"Stop kneeling, get up and talk!"
Grandma Wang stepped forward and helped Li Man'er up, "Miss, there is only an outsider like the old slave in the house at this time. If the eldest girl feels that it is difficult to say something, then the old slave will leave."
Li Man'er only said: "What did you say, mama? No one in the whole family knows that you are my grandmother's most powerful person! I am young, so I may not be able to see some things clearly, so mama just helped me with the details. two."
Grandma Wang was slightly shocked. This was not something a big girl could say! She raised her eyes and glanced at Mrs. Cui, but saw something slightly strange in Mrs. Cui's eyes, and she understood that this was not her imagination.
"Miss, why don't you tell me what happened today? What happened in the eldest princess's house, and why did it involve the empress?"
Li Man'er said unhurriedly: "Everything was going smoothly in the eldest princess's mansion, but I didn't expect that Nanny Xu would secretly do something wrong and knock her granddaughter unconscious."
"That's nonsense, it's all nonsense!" Li Zhaoer felt guilty, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Guo gave her a meaningful look and signaled her to calm down. Li Man'er might just be waiting for you to jump out on your own!
"Aunt Xu?" Mrs. Cui was stunned, "Isn't she your grandma in charge? Why did she hit you!?"
Li Man'er just smiled and seemed to have no intention of replying.
Ms. Cui was startled for a moment before she realized that Li Man'er was the master, and Aunt Xu was the slave. The slave was beating the master. This was the crime of the following, and even killing him would be useless.
"You said that Aunt Xu knocked you out. There must be a reason, right? You can't do it for no reason, right?" Ms. Cui's words were all in favor of Aunt Xu, because Aunt Xu went out from her yard, and later She was sent to Mrs. Guo, who then sent her to Li Man'er's yard as the steward.
In other houses, if a slave dares to attack her master for any reason, she will be killed instantly with a cane!
Grandma Wang quickly said: "What the old lady means is, how could Grandma Xu have the courage to do something to the girl? Is there any misunderstanding here?"
Li Man'er shook his head, "She knocked me unconscious and threw me in the wing. Then Li Zhaoer brought the eldest princess and the female family members of various houses to the wing to throw dirty water on me, saying that I had a secret meeting with my foreign man."
"Nonsense!" Li Zhaoer's face turned pale with anger. She couldn't bear to see Li Maner's bossy look.
"Am I talking nonsense? In the eldest princess's mansion, the maid Chun Zhi beside you kept saying that I was changing in the wing room and that Third Young Master Geng was there too! The eldest princess and other female family members heard about this with their own ears. Grandma sent People will know if they ask."
Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Don't be angry, young lady. You sisters are from the same family. If Zhaoer slanders you, what good will it do to her!? Her reputation will also be damaged!"
Ms. Cui nodded, "Your mother is right! Maybe someone else wants to harm you."
Li Man'er has a bad personality and has offended countless people. When the female relatives in the capital mention her, most of them are disgusted.
This is blatant protection.
"Others want to harm me? Then why don't you put medicine in the tea and make me look stupid in public? Why don't you push me into the pool and make me look stupid in public? Why don't you let me live in the same room with my husband? Grandma, someone is clearly thinking about my engagement.
I want to replace her. Aunt Xu is my mother’s person, and Chun Zhi is your girl. If I’m not blind, why can’t I still see it? Or do you think I’m really stupid?”
Hit the nail on the head!
Li Zhaoer didn't even dare to look into Li Maner's eyes, "You, what do you mean?"
"If my sister likes my young father-in-law, you can tell me. Who in the capital doesn't know that the eldest princess doesn't like me? This marriage will leave you defenseless! If there is a bright and righteous path, you will choose to take a crooked way and taint me."
His reputation will tarnish the reputation of our Marquis Mansion, and it will bring disgrace and hatred to the Empress."
"You are talking nonsense!" Li Zhaoer stood up angrily, pointed at Li Maner and said: "You are talking nonsense. When did I want to steal your marriage? When did I want to slander your reputation? When did I bring hatred to the empress!"
Mrs. Guo's eyelids were twitching, and Mrs. Cui was even more anxious. She had no intention of listening to the discord between their sisters. She only wanted to know what kind of negative impact this incident would have on Li Qingshu.
"Girl, what does this matter have to do with the empress?" This is what Cui cares about most.
"Grandmother! The empress is called Concubine Shu. The word "Shu" is both her name and her title. "Shu" means pure and good! It means quiet, clear and pure! When the empress first entered the palace, the Holy Master once said, "The empress
People live up to their names.”
Mrs. Cui was very satisfied with her words and kept nodding her head, "Yes, you girl has a good memory."
At this time, Mrs. Guo and Li Zhaoer were completely stunned. Who would have thought that Li Maner could actually say such a thing.
"Since the fourth princess passed away, the empress's body has been deteriorating. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid the empress' life in the palace is also difficult now. Her family should be her support and backing. If the eldest princess really bumps into me
What will be the consequences of having a secret meeting with my grandma? Has Grandma ever thought about it?"
Mrs. Cui was so shocked that she broke into a sweat.
The eldest princess is a sibling of the Holy One, and the Holy One respects his eldest sister the most. If he knew that his nephew's fiancée had misbehaved, Long Yan would be furious.
The eldest princess has always been aloof and respectable. Now she can't change her mind and just wants to break off the engagement. But if Li Man'er really has a secret meeting with her foreign man, it's not the same as giving it to the young father-in-law.
It's the same as cuckolding! If the eldest princess wants to understand this, she will hate Li Zhaoer to death! This debt will naturally be blamed on the Tiedan Hou Mansion and the empress.
"It's not as serious as you say! I think you just can't bear to part with this marriage in the Rongguo Duke's palace."
Li Man'er smiled. Does Li Zhaoer's words mean that he is just asking for it?
"Marriage is a small matter, but royal dignity is important! Li Zhaoer, use your brain!"
Mrs. Guo looked at Li Man'er in surprise and said tentatively: "Now that Mobei is in urgent need, it is the time for the Lord to employ people, so how can he blame us!"
Ms. Cui seemed to have taken a reassurance, "That's the truth."
"But because of this, the Holy One will inevitably transfer his anger to the Empress if he does not blame the father. The affairs of the harem are entirely up to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager makes the decision. How can we know that this will not affect Chi Yu?"
Mrs. Cui was not calm again.
The panic in Guo's eyes grew infinitely, and the fingers holding on to the chair turned white.
Li Man'er just pretended not to see it and said sarcastically: "Li Zhao'er, if your empress is reprimanded by the Queen Mother because of this matter, or your status is demoted, then you will be the sinner of the Li family."
Ms. Cui let out an ouch, covered her heart and shouted, "How wonderful is this!"
Grandma Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady, "Don't be anxious, old madam. The matter has not reached that point yet. Our eldest girl is smart enough not to be plotted against."
Ms. Cui thought about it and felt relieved. Then she slammed the table hard and said angrily: "Kneel down!"
