Yu Xijiao has been in and out these days, looking very busy. I heard that it was because of the Xiyi Zhai incident that she took over, but Qian didn't take it to heart, and even secretly mocked a little girl who just came from the south of the Yangtze River.
Yatou Pianzi knows what business is. Xiyi Zhai was originally very profitable, but now it falls into the hands of this little girl Pianzi. I don’t know what will happen.
Ms. Qian thought she could watch it for a while, but eventually this bitchy girl couldn't take care of her anymore and would naturally come to ask for help. At that time, she could even buy it at a cheap price.
She had also heard about what happened in Xiyi Zhai yesterday, but it was caused by Xin Kangbo Mansion and had nothing to do with her. She could just watch the fun.
Mr. Qian is now wholeheartedly waiting for his niece to come over. He can wait until her niece comes over to talk about anything.
"Madam, Mr. Marquis, please come over." A woman hurriedly came in to report.
"What's so urgent?" Ms. Qian said disapprovingly, picking up a hairpin and looking at it. She chose this for her niece. The jade inlaid on the hairpin was of good quality.
"I don't know. I heard that the eldest girl is back." The mother-in-law continued, "I just heard from the maid I met on the road."
"The eldest lady is back, when did it happen?" Qian was stunned, put down the hairpin in his hand, and his face darkened.
"I don't know, I mean...someone saw the eldest girl," the mother-in-law said in a nagging tone.
"Let's go take a look." Qian stood up and turned to Grandma Xi.
In the study, Yu Ruiwen sat on it, frowning tightly, looking at the two standing daughters, first he glanced at Yu Xijiao, and then landed on Yu Zhuqing. After looking up and down carefully, his face immediately darkened: "
If you don't change your clothes when you return home, will people think what happened to you in our home?"
"Father!" Yu Zhuqing bit her lip and wanted to explain.
"Father, is it your intention for eldest sister to go to the nunnery every year?" Yu Xijiao pulled a handful of Yu Zhuqing and stared at Yu Ruiwen and asked.
Seeing the clear eyes of his youngest daughter, Yu Ruiwen felt inexplicably uneasy. He turned his head and coughed, and then said: "These things were discussed between your mother and your eldest sister, and they have not been changed for so many years."
"My eldest sister's relatives have passed away. It's not a big deal to want to worship. But for someone like me, who spends so much time every year to worship, and is even guarded by an evil nun, who prohibits all freedoms. I'm afraid only those criminals can
Only a daughter of a noble family who has done something wrong would behave like this!"
"Under guard? Where do you start talking about this?" Yu Ruiwen was stunned.
"Father, the evil nun daughter has been brought here. When we passed by today, not only did they stop us, but they also brought two other evil nuns to come up and beat us. They said that it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, she has a wife who will make the decision for her." Yu Xijiao.
He said calmly, "If the father hadn't given his daughter the coachman, I'm afraid my daughter would have been disabled by this time."
"How could you be so presumptuous and bring people in?" Yu Ruiwen was first shocked, then furious, and said sternly.
The coachman escorted the nun in. The nun whined and had a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth. When she saw Yu Ruiwen sitting on top, her feet softened and she knelt down, tears and runny nose falling down.
"Father, this is the evil nun who imprisoned and supervised my eldest sister. For so many years, this evil nun not only restricted my eldest sister's freedom, but also made her embroider day and night. She bought all the embroidery and stole the money.
The eldest sister is even worse than an embroiderer from a poor family, and she still lives in a house that leaks rain and air." Yu Xijiao said and waved to Aunt Xu, who took two steps forward and pulled out the gag.
Cloth.
"Master Marquis, please forgive me, Master Marquis, please forgive me, I'm just following my orders." As soon as she let go of her mouth, the nun immediately screamed loudly.
"Acting on orders? Whose order did you follow, and what did you do?" Yu Xijiao sneered.
"It's all...it's all the lady who asked the nun to serve...to serve the eldest girl." The nun's eyes flickered and she said hesitantly.
"Madam asked you to serve eldest sister like this? Do you want to force eldest sister to death?" Yu Xijiao said coldly, her eyes falling sharply on the nun, "Father is here, if you talk nonsense, you will be sent to the government.
Go and commit the crime of treating officials and their families harshly and imprisoning them."
"What happened to the third girl? Why are you so angry again? Is it possible that someone made the third girl angry again?" A voice suddenly came from the door.
Yu Xijiao raised her head, with a deep look in her eyes. Sure enough, when she heard that the eldest sister had returned home, Mrs. Qian came so quickly.
The word "again" refers to her unreasonable troubles, indicating that she has been angry again and again after entering the house. Looking at Qian's smiling eyes as she walked in, Yu Xijiao felt sarcastic in her heart, was she going to sow discord? Qian thought
Everything is under control, I'm afraid I'm destined to be disappointed this time.
"I've met the Marquis." Qian came in with a smile and bowed deeply to Yu Ruiwen.
"Madam, you came just in time. Do you know about Zhu Qing?" Yu Ruiwen asked in a deep voice.
"What's the matter, Miss?" Mrs. Qian turned her head as if she had just noticed Yu Zhuqing, and stepped forward in surprise, "Zhuqing, you are finally back. When did it happen? Why didn't you send someone to tell your mother first? Mother
I'll make preparations for you first, and then send a carriage to pick you up."
"Mother!" Yu Zhuqing turned sideways slightly.
"Okay, okay, just come back. I ask you not to leave the house too much. Your biological mother and biological father have passed away. The Marquis and I are your biological parents." Mrs. Qian grabbed Yu Zhuqing and did not let her bow.
He went down, and then pulled her affectionately to Yu Ruiwen, "Master Hou, I said before that I would bring Zhu Qing back, but you also said that according to previous years' practice, Zhu Qing may not be willing to come back."
"It's so good now, but I won't be back soon!"
These words reminded Yu Ruiwen that there seemed to be such a thing: "It will be good when I come back, but I'm afraid this evil nun is not a good one."
"What's wrong with this... nun?" Qian asked in surprise as if she had just seen the nun kneeling on the ground.
"Don't you know what Madam arranged for someone to do?" Yu Ruiwen looked at her steadily and snorted coldly.
"Master Hou, I really don't know. In the earliest days, the eldest girl chose this place by herself. In the earliest days, the eldest girl also set the time. From now on, this routine will be followed every year. Is it possible that there is something wrong here?
Is something wrong?" Qian was surprised.
Putting everything on Yu Zhuqing.
"Madam, how old was the eldest sister when she agreed?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile, her eyebrows raised.
"About five or six years old!" Qian hesitated.
"The eldest sister was able to make decisions at such a young age and take charge of all her own affairs, and she was able to find such a remote place. If my father's people hadn't taken care of that place, I would never have been able to find it. I don't know who made the decision at that time.
The eldest sister proposed this place, and who found out that there was a dilapidated nunnery there?"
Yu Xijiao chuckled calmly.
Such a young child is not even sensible. How could he care so much and even plan so perfectly? It sounds like this is not something a child can do.
Qian didn't expect that Yu Xijiao would use Yu Zhuqing's age as an issue. She felt a little panicked and said with a smile: "This matter is also my fault. Seeing that the eldest girl has been stable since she was a child, she thought that the eldest girl was her own idea.
Now that I think about it, it’s really not necessarily true, maybe it was the unfaithful mother-in-law who started it, and the older girl didn’t understand and just accepted it.”
Mrs. Qian understood that it was no longer appropriate to pin the matter on Yu Zhuqing, so she hurriedly changed her words and changed her direction.
"Madam is in charge of the backyard of Xuanping Hou Mansion. Nothing should be hidden from Madam. I heard from my grandmother that something happened to me when I was young and I almost lost my life. Madam also meant that she was negligent."
As soon as he said this, Yu Ruiwen, who was sitting above, frowned. Of course he knew about this back then, and was scolded severely by Mrs. Xie for this. Then Mrs. Xie took her little daughter away, and he also said:
Unable to let anyone leave the capital, Hun stopped Xie's carriage at the city gate.
What caused the two families to almost come to blows was the matter of their youngest daughter.
"If the third girl wants to talk about what happened at the beginning, I was really wronged. The third girl fell into the lotus pond and almost lost her life. I also jumped into the water anxiously and almost got into an accident with the third girl." Qian sighed.
With a tone, he pointed at his right leg, "I hit my leg at that time and injured it. Although the leg injury has healed over the years, it still hurts every time when the weather is bad."
"Madam, did you hurt your leg? I don't know which leg was hurt?" Yu Xijiao was surprised.
"I hurt my leg, my right leg. In order to save you, I forgot that I couldn't swim, so I jumped into the lake without knowing what I hit. I hurt it." Qian pointed out.
Pointing to her right leg, in order to make the performance more realistic, Hsieh Jia Shijia really put in a lot of effort and did not hesitate to slightly injure herself.
The skin on the leg was indeed scratched a little.
"Father, was your wife seriously injured at that time?" Yu Xijiao asked Yu Ruiwen above.
Yu Ruiwen nodded, but glanced at Qian. At first, he felt that Qian was sincere to his little daughter, and his words were deeply affectionate, without showing any trace, but now he feels inexplicably that this is really the case?
The youngest daughter has been back in Beijing for some time. Even if Yu Ruiwen doesn't care much about the affairs in the house, he still knows that his wife and the youngest daughter have a normal relationship. The youngest daughter doesn't even call her "mother", but only says "ma'am" which is inappropriate.
Just know it.
But this was also what her mother agreed to. Thinking back to the first time Yu Xijiao was in her mother's house, Mr. Qian seemed a little angry at that time, and she was inexplicably similar to Mr. Qian in front of her.
"Was mother seriously injured at that time?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"The injury was naturally serious. We had several doctors at the time and took a lot of medicine." Qian sighed, feeling helpless. Anyway, it has been so long, and now she can say whatever she wants.
.
"Father, do you still remember that your mother injured her leg and how long she couldn't move, or how long she had difficulty moving?" Yu Xijiao suddenly became more serious and turned to look at Yu Ruiwen who was sitting on top. She and Yu Zhuqing both knew what happened back then.
When I was young, the only thing I knew clearly was my confused father in front of me.
But even if he is confused, he should not be stupid...
