As soon as Mrs. Qian entered the door, she saw her niece, who was being pushed and held back in an awkward state. Behind her were several maids of the Qian Mansion, and the mother-in-law was pushed to the ground.
"What...what's going on? Why did I just go to Qinglanxuan, and it's...like this...what...what's going on? Is there something that can't be discussed, why is it like this?"
?" Qian was anxious and angry.
"Aunt, help me, Yu Xijiao is going to beat me to death." When she saw her aunt coming, Qian Lizhen gained some confidence and immediately started crying loudly.
"Third Miss, is there such a thing?" Mrs. Qian turned to look at Yu Xijiao, and then scolded in a low voice, "Third Miss, no matter how bad Li Zhen is, she is also your cousin and a guest of the house, why is it like this?
Are you so cruel to do such a thing?"
Aunt Xi also responded: "Third Miss, even if my cousin does something bad, Third Miss can't really do that!"
There are quite a few servants in the courtyard at this time, not just from Yaoshui Pavilion, but also from Qian Lizhen, and Qian brought a lot of them. In front of such a large group of people, these words can ruin Yu Xijiao's reputation.
the meaning of.
Even if Qian Lizhen's reputation is not very good, if this matter comes out, anyone will think that Yu Xijiao is even worse, ungrateful and cruel.
"Madam, please have some tea." Qingyue smartly brought out a cup of tea and offered it to her.
Aunt Xi shouted loudly and raised her hand to block it: "Stupid slave, didn't you see that Madam is dealing with something? I am serving tea at this time. Do you want Madam to stand and drink tea? Why don't you go and bring a chair first?"
Qingyue took a step back, and the tea cup in her hand fell to the ground. She took a step back in fright, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to Qian: "Madam, spare your life!"
"Madam, this maid of mine also has good intentions and wants to serve tea to Madam. If Madam doesn't want it, why should I take her life? She is also the daughter of a good family. My grandmother took pity on her life experience, so she let her follow me.
I didn’t expect that just after arriving in the capital, my wife would not be able to tolerate her."
Yu Xi said calmly.
Qian froze when he said this, and then reacted and said angrily: "Three girls were joking. Although this maid is a little stupid and her words are a little too much, she can't commit a crime that will lead to death and she will not retreat."
Down."
"Thank you, madam." Qingyue said repeatedly, stood up and stepped aside.
Yu Xijiao smiled: "Just now when Miss Qian said help me, Madam believed her and thought I was going to kill her. But today the maid next to me said something similar, but Madam felt that what she said was exaggerated.
A little bit, could it be that Madam believes in Miss Qian so much that she means what she says?"
Qian immediately knew that she had fallen into Yu Xijiao's trap. She was filled with resentment for a moment, but it was difficult to show it on her face. She was silent for a moment before forcing a smile and said: "These are just childish words. How can we really kill each other? But you two
After all, it’s not good-looking to have such a personal quarrel. Well, this is the first time you two have met. Let’s talk properly. What’s going on?”
"Aunt, I saw my old book rack at that time, and I wanted to take it back. It was my thing. Why should she take my thing and not let me take it?" Qian Lizhen pushed away the two people who were blocking her.
Mother-in-law, she walked up to Mrs. Qian and pointed her finger at her, saying coquettishly.
Seeing Mrs. Qian coming over, the mother-in-law felt a little weaker than the maid in Yaoshui Pavilion. Qian Lizhen pushed her hand inexplicably and her hand relaxed.
"Let's all go in and talk. What's it like to talk here?" Qian said. As she spoke, she turned around and walked in. Yu Xijiao didn't stop her and followed her in. Qian Lizhen also hurriedly followed.
As soon as she arrived inside, Qian looked at the book shelf on one side and frowned: "Lizhen, is this really yours?"
"Aunt, this is mine. If you don't believe it, you can come over and have a look." Qian Lizhen said angrily, turning to the back of the book shelf, "Look, I even made a mark here."
Everyone turned around with her, and sure enough they saw a small word in the back corner, which seemed to be engraved with something, a simple word "money".
"Look, this was carved by a bored jet-lagged maid when I was living there." Qian Lizhen said sternly,
Ms. Qian said goodbye, straightened up and looked at Yu Xijiao with a strange expression: "Third girl, since this Bogu rack belongs to Li Zhen, just return it to her and choose a suitable one in the future."
"Madam, are you sure Miss Qian is telling the truth?" Yu Xijiao said with a confused expression, but did not agree directly.
"It has my last name on it, can it be fake?" Qian Lizhen was furious and pointed at Yu Xijiao, "You are indeed a thief. Not only did you rob my yard, but you also stole my things.
, now that there are all the witnesses and physical evidence, you still dare to hide it, okay, okay, let’s go find my uncle now and let him make an evaluation."
"Okay, what a big deal it is to invite your uncle." Qian scolded.
"Aunt, I can't stand such a huge grievance. If you don't comment on this matter, where will I put my face?" Qian Lizhen burst into tears suddenly, stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, looking at the extreme grievance.
Qian had a headache, and turned to Yu Xijiao: "Third Miss, since this thing belongs to Li Zhen, you should return it to her. It's just a household item. The house will prepare something similar for you later."
"No matter what, a lot of things here belong to me. Aunt, I can live in Lanshui Pavilion, but I can't let Yu Xijiao take all my things." Qian Lizhen said angrily.
Yu Xijiao sneered, not giving in at all: "Do you want me to let you take over this Yaoshui Pavilion?"
"Third Miss... If you keep doing this, I'm really going to invite the Marquis!" Qian's face didn't look good either.
"Madam, just go and invite her." Yu Xijiao said calmly. Today's incident will definitely alarm Yu Ruiwen, so she is waiting for Yu Ruiwen to come over.
Sure enough, Yu Ruiwen came very quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a mess. Qian Lizhen threw herself in Qian's arms and burst into tears. Yu Xijiao was very leisurely, sitting and drinking tea, and even took a
Reading a book.
"Master Hou." Qian said hurriedly when he saw Yu Ruiwen.
"Uncle!" Qian Lizhen cried with tears in her eyes. She was extremely pitiful. She was no longer the arrogant and domineering person she was before.
"What's going on?" Yu Ruiwen asked.
"Father." Yu Xijiao stood up and saluted calmly.
Qian then explained the cause and effect of the matter, and after finishing speaking, he sighed heavily: "Master Hou, the third girl's temper... I really can't control it. Please tell the third girl."
After all, no matter how good the thing is, it belongs to someone else. How can our Marquis Mansion be short of an antique rack?"
"Uncle, I saw this Bogu stand outside when I was young. I have kept it here for many years and it has always been my favorite. Now... although I live in Lanshui Pavilion temporarily, this Bogu shelf
I still want to take it back, and I may have to move it back to the Qian Mansion in the future, but... But now the third sister... keeps occupying it... and refuses to return it."
Qian Lizhen responded hurriedly.
"Master Hou, in fact, it is not a matter of erudition. The third girl is the daughter of the Hou family. She was raised in the Xie family in the past. She has seen many good things. She is really greedy for this thing. Maybe she is with
Li Zhen was joking, but Li Zhen is a straight-tempered girl, so she really made a scene."
Qian laughed lightly, looking like he was giving Yu Xijiao a step up, but in fact, it confirmed Yu Xijiao's greed and petty ambition.
Anyone would be angry if they heard their daughter do such a shameful thing, not to mention that Yu Ruiwen always wanted to save face. Qian was also sure of Yu Ruiwen's nature and knew that if she said this, Yu Xijiao would definitely suffer.
rebuke.
Her purpose was of course not to let Yu Xijiao be scolded. She glanced at the lower level of the Bogu shelf, and a trace of sinisterness flashed in her eyes. She didn't believe that Yu Xijiao could survive today!
Yu Xijiao didn't defend herself. She glanced at Mr. Qian and curled her lips silently. This... was a coincidence!
"Is this...Lizhen's thing?" Yu Ruiwen was not as angry as Qian imagined. Instead, he looked at the Bogu shelf in front of him in confusion, then looked at Qian Lizhen, and frowned.
"Uncle, this is my thing. You see, my last name is engraved here. I asked the maid to engrave it on it when I was a child because I liked to play." Qian Lizhen pointed at the back of the book rack and gestured.
Yu Ruiwen looked.
A slightly crooked word "money" is indeed engraved there.
Yu Ruiwen knelt down, stretched out his hand and touched it, his face turned ugly.
"Uncle, I don't mean that I must get the Bo Gu Jia back, but this thing is very important to me, and it is related to the kindness I had at the time. Although I was young and ignorant at that time, I will always remember this kindness.
"The more Qian Lizhen spoke, the more aggrieved she became. Tears fell one after another, and she covered her chest with her hands as if she was distressed.
It's so pitiful to look like this.
However, Yu Ruiwen felt that this look was somewhat familiar. He raised his head and looked at Qian. When he was young, Qian's appearance was almost exactly the same as Qian Lizhen's now. If Qian hadn't made such a pitiful look, Yu Ruiwen wouldn't have been certain.
I want to lift Qian to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
I didn't think much of it when I saw Qian doing this before, but now I see Qian Lizhen doing this, and I feel a little bit bored for no reason.
"Master Hou... what do you think we should do about this matter?" Qian came over and gently pushed the Bogu shelf. The Bogu shelf was very stable, and it only moved slightly when she pushed it.
"I haven't seen much... Madam, don't you think that your niece needs a good lesson?" Yu Ruiwen stood up, and his face suddenly darkened.
"Hou...Master Hou." Qian looked at Yu Ruiwen in shock.
"What? Am I wrong? She is a girl from the Qian Mansion. She has been living in our house. Now, why does she regard everything in our house as hers? Doesn't it mean that my daughter should be given to her?
If she gives way, is it appropriate to treat everything as given to her?"
Yu Ruiwen said bluntly.
He always acted casually, and his eyes fell coldly on Qian Lizhen, with a deep and angry look in his eyes: "You have been raised in my house for so many years, and your food and use are almost the same as Xi'er.
I just didn’t expect that as I get older, I become more ambitious. Now, does all this belong to you? Do you even want to drive Jiao’er away?”
"Aunt...uncle..." Qian Lizhen was dumbfounded. This was different from what they expected, and she subconsciously turned to Qian.
Qian also realized something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly knelt down to read the words on the back, and then looked up at Yu Ruiwen. He seemed to be about to get up, but because of panic, he suddenly touched the broken branch plum vase in the bottom corner.
A crashing sound was heard, the plum vase was broken...
