Chapter 132, sophistry, private prosecution of grievances
Qian was shocked. She had suffered a minor injury at that time, and because Yu Ruiwen and Xie were at odds, Qian was so focused on provoking others that she would not remember the "serious injury" she had suffered, so she often interfered with Yu Ruiwen.
If it hadn't been for her, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did later. If it hadn't been for Princess An and the eldest daughter to come forward, the matter would have been difficult to deal with at that time.
How long have you been injured?
In fact, she made a lot of noise when she was injured, which showed that she sincerely wanted to save Yu Xijiao, but after that...who cares about this!
Mrs. Qian glanced at Aunt Xi. Aunt Xi understood and hurriedly smiled and said: "Something happened to the third girl at that time. How could our wife dare to recover from her injuries? We should hold on to the third girl first. Even if it hurts so much that she can't walk,
You have to persevere.”
"Mommy, what you mean is that the leg injury is so severe that it can be over with a little patience. Can't you tell?" Yu Xijiao asked in return.
"This... is actually somewhat visible, but Madam was afraid that the Marquis would be worried, so she never showed it." Aunt Xi was very embarrassed by the question, but she still forced herself to explain.
Unfortunately, even she herself didn't believe this explanation, and her voice weakened unconsciously.
"Okay, it's been so long, there's no need to pursue this matter anymore." Yu Ruiwen looked at Qian, coughed, and looked at Yu Zhuqing: "Since this evil nun deceived the Lord, there is no need to go there again in the future.
.”
"Yes, father!"
Yu Ruiwen looked at Mrs. Qian again, frowned fiercely, and scolded: "What did Zhuqing know when he was so young? You are the mistress of the Hou Mansion and you just let a child have the final say? Why don't you investigate carefully?
?This evil nun acted like this, maybe it’s not because of Madam’s negligence.”
"Master Hou!" Qian was shocked and panicked.
"Come here, take the evil nun back and demolish her nunnery. Beat each of the nuns in the nunnery and blame them for being rude and harsh." Yu Ruiwen ordered impatiently.
"Master Hou, this...this nunnery is...a place of gods and Buddhas." Qian stuttered and said anxiously.
"Is it possible that such an evil nun is also the one favored by gods and Buddhas?" Yu Ruiwen sneered, waved his hand, and the coachman pulled the nun who was lying limply on the ground down.
"Zhu Qing just came back, go and get some rest first, and discuss anything with your sister in the future," Yu Ruiwen said again.
"Yes, father." Yu Zhuqing bowed sideways.
"Jiao'er, take your sister to rest. If the yard is not tidied up, I will live in your place first. After such a long time, your sister's yard may not be able to be lived in immediately." Yu Ruiwen rarely thought of this and looked at it.
The younger daughter said gently.
"My daughter knows that the eldest sister will live with her first." Yu Xijiao agreed obediently.
No one knew that Yu Zhuqing would come back at this time, and it was impossible for Qian to ask people to tidy up Yu Zhuqing's yard early. Now the servants in the mansion are tidying up the yard where Qian Lizhen will live.
As for today's matter, as long as Yu Ruiwen is not really stupid, he will definitely notice Qian's unkindness to his eldest sister and himself.
Yu Xijiao doesn't think that just such a thing can directly pull Qian down, but don't rush, take your time...
"Everyone, go down." Yu Ruiwen flicked his sleeves, referring to his servants.
Aunt Xi glanced at Mrs. Qian secretly, and then at Yu Ruiwen, who had a serious look on her face. She didn't dare to disobey him and hurriedly retreated.
Standing far outside the door, she raised her eyes and saw Yu Xijiao walking out slowly. Nanny Xi's heart was suddenly shocked. The third girl suddenly went to pick up the eldest girl and brought back the nun with the Marquis' people.
Come here, it's like a person's internal organs have been harvested. Even if the madam wanted to explain, she couldn't explain it clearly.
Thinking about what happened next, it also involved the third girl's childhood. Isn't this really the third girl's method?
Aunt Xi took a step back involuntarily, with a bit of fear in her eyes.
Sensing that someone was looking at her, Yu Xijiao, who was talking to Yu Zhuqing, glanced over. What she saw was the frightened look of Aunt Xi. She couldn't help but smile slightly. Her eyes were as clear as water, as if she could see into Aunt Xi's heart.
As if, Grandma Xi almost fell back again, but finally managed to stabilize herself, and then she called out in a low voice: "Big girl, third girl!"
Yu Xi smiled delicately, her thick long eyelashes fluttered twice, she withdrew her eyes from Aunt Xi's face, and continued talking to Yu Zhuqing, as if she didn't notice Aunt Xi at all. A sudden thought came to Aunt Xi's heart
A bad feeling...
In the study room, cigarette smoke curls up, and the faint fragrance is refreshing and calming.
Yu Ruiwen sat on the big nanmu chair with a cold face and asked in a cold voice: "Qian, how do you explain Zhu Qing's matter?"
"Master Hou... I... I am responsible for negligence." Qian gritted her teeth and admitted the crime.
"What a person responsible for negligence, what a person who knows nothing." Yu Ruiwen sneered, the anger in his heart was rising. One thing may be nothing, but when it is added to another thing, the anger will skyrocket, "Mr. Qian,
You really are a good family. It was like this before, and it is still like this now. When Jiaoer happened, your leg was injured, and it was quite serious, making it difficult for you to walk?"
Yu Ruiwen didn't pay attention to whether Qian had any difficulty in moving at first, or whether he was holding it back, but now he thinks about it clearly. He also looked at the injury later. When he checked, the injury was completely healed. If not
If you look carefully, you can't really see it.
"Master Hou...if I didn't speak more seriously at that time, I was afraid...I was afraid that the Xie Mansion would not let me go. Master Hou, I just want to get along well with the two girls,"
Qian had just thought about what the problem was. She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Ruiwen sadly, "In that situation, if I don't say something more serious... they may have the heart to tear me apart, but this
It was really just an accident."
Tears hung on her eyelashes, Qian's voice was sad and helpless. She knew that what happened back then was also a knot in Yu Ruiwen's heart. Yu Ruiwen would be angry if she tried to attack him in any place, so she tried to avoid it.
"Are you blaming me for wrongly blaming you?" Yu Ruiwen's voice was cold and his eyes were sharp.
"Mr. Marquis, Mrs. Xie has always been prejudiced against me. I feel that it is all my fault that made Mrs. Xie depressed. After Mrs. Xie was away, I was afraid of the prince's resentment, so I took care of him wholeheartedly. It was a bit difficult for the third girl.
I couldn't take it into consideration that what happened to the third girl happened at this time... I know it was my fault, but at that time, I could only say this."
Mrs. Xie sobbed and cried, tears falling down one after another, she looked particularly pitiful: "At that time, even though I was already like this... Mrs. Xie still embarrassed the Marquis like this, regardless of the Marquis.
I want to take the third girl away for my face, I am... I am concubine."
Seeing that she was extremely aggrieved, Mrs. Qian covered her nose with a handkerchief, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, you said it was for me at the time, but what about Zhu Qing now? Zhu Qing's father is very kind to me, so why does it bother you?" Yu Ruiwen laughed angrily.
"Master Marquis, what happened to the eldest daughter was indeed my negligence. There were still some old people around the eldest daughter at that time. It should be those old people who said that to the eldest daughter. Maybe they also meant to prevent the eldest daughter from getting close to me.
I wanted to take care of it, but I was afraid that others would say that I couldn’t take care of the third girl, so how could I take care of the eldest girl well? I thought the people around her should be loyal, so I let go.”
"The eldest girl has always been thoughtful and doesn't know what's going on. This adoptive mother may not be what she wants. In the past, some food and supplies were the most exquisite ones, but the eldest girl doesn't like them. She has to throw away even the best things.
, and sometimes the commotion makes everyone unhappy, so I don’t dare to meddle in the eldest girl’s affairs even more.”
When Yu Zhuqing was in the mansion, Yi Yongdu did indeed look the same as Yu Yuxi on the surface, which was what Yu Ruiwen saw.
Thinking that what he saw in the past was indeed the case, Yu Ruiwen fell silent.
If Yu Xijiao hadn't brought the nun and Yu Zhuqing in rough clothes to him today, Yu Ruiwen would not have believed it anyway.
As for Yu Zhuqing being thoughtful, Yu Ruiwen also saw Yu Zhuqing ask people to return things given by Qian several times.
What Yu Ruiwen didn't know was that what he saw and heard in the past were all brought to him by Qian, including sometimes Yu Zhuqing's ignorance and good intentions were not rewarded.
"Zhuqing's life is hard..." Yu Ruiwen said, his voice much calmer.
"I know that the eldest girl has a hard life. In fact, it is not just the eldest girl, but also the third girl. She lost her biological mother since she was a child, and she is also suffering from a hard life. I also try to take good care of them, but the eldest girl is too thoughtful.
The girl’s mother-in-law is very powerful, so if she makes a little mistake, it will all be my concubine’s fault.”
The more Qian talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she started crying again.
Yu Ruiwen was silent, and then said after a long time: "Could it be that...you have repeatedly neglected them, Jiao'er was assassinated by the evil servant just after returning home, and Zhu Qing is now worse than a rough maid...?"
"Master Hou, this is indeed my fault. If I could die to prove my innocence, I would have been willing to die long ago! If I could really prove it, I would have a peaceful life even if I died! If I don't talk about other things, let's talk about the prince.
Come on! The Marquis also knows how I treat the prince, is it possible that I can’t tolerate two girls?” Qian said, wiping her tears.
Qian's move was very beautiful.
The eyes he raised were full of tears, and they fell one by one. He didn't say anything else, nor did he defend himself. He just responded to the crown prince. He was still very concerned about his only son Yu Ruiwen. Qian took care of his son, and his son cared for her.
Yu Ruiwen also saw Qian's respect.
Comparing his son and his daughter, what he said was quite reasonable. Even though Yu Ruiwen still had some doubts, most of them were gone.
"From now on, think carefully about the matter of Zhuqing. If you go to worship in the future, choose some good places and never go to that kind of quiet and run-down place again." Yu Ruiwen said.
"Master Hou, I understand that I will never... do it again." Knowing that this matter was over, Qian said hurriedly.
"Go down first and arrange Zhu Qing's accommodation. Zhu Qing hasn't been back home for several months." Yu Ruiwen said in deep thought, waving his hand with a confused expression.
"I understand, I will leave." Qian said and left the study.
"Madam!" Aunt Xi was waiting outside. When she saw Mr. Qian coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward.
Qian shook her hand, turned around and walked out, followed closely by Grandma Xi...
