The plum vase was broken, but there was nothing inside!
Grandma Xi was stunned!
Qian was stunned!
The two of them stared blankly at the plum vase that was broken into several pieces in front of them. Qian's hands shook, her eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't react for a moment.
"What are you looking for, madam? Is there something in the plum vase?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"No...nothing!" Qian suddenly reacted, shook his head with a pale face, and said anxiously.
"What's going on?" Yu Ruiwen also noticed something was wrong, his expression suddenly changed, he looked at the porcelain bottle that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and then looked at Qian and said suspiciously.
"Father, can I say a few words to you?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows and looked at Yu Ruiwen with a calm gaze.
"Everyone, get down." Yu Ruiwen waved his hand angrily.
Qian Shimu turned around in a daze, biting her lip to suppress the panic in her heart, and winked at Aunt Xi. The most certain thing was gone, and the master and servant were trying to find a place where no one was around to discuss it.
"Madam, please wait a moment." Yu Xijiao suddenly called out to Qian.
Yu Ruiwen looked at Yu Xijiao suspiciously.
"Father, this matter also has something to do with Madam. How about asking Madam to stay and listen to it?" Yu Xi said with a sweet smile.
Yu Ruiwen said: "You stay, everyone else will go down."
"Madam..." Nanny Xi seemed to have thought of something, and regardless of Yu Ruiwen's gloomy face, she suddenly looked at Qian and shouted urgently.
"Madam, is it possible that my father's intentions are worse than those of a slave?" Yu Xijiao said softly before Qian could speak.
"You dog slave is still not going down!" Yu Ruiwen couldn't hold himself back any longer, slammed the table hard and said sternly.
Aunt Xi didn't dare to speak. She turned around in a hurry, staggered and almost fell down in front of the door. Aunt Xu kindly gave her a hand and helped her outside the door.
Then he stepped back a few steps knowing the rules, and Qingyue drove everyone including Qian Lizhen to a place ten steps away from the door.
Qian Lizhen glared and wanted to show off her authority, but she heard Qingyue whisper in a lukewarm voice: "I'm afraid Miss Qian doesn't know that this Bogujia is the dowry of our girl's biological mother. The Marquis also knows about this, and it's Madam's dowry."
It’s also on the list.”
This sentence left Qian Lizhen dumbfounded. She looked towards the door subconsciously. Her head that was raised high immediately lowered her head. She looked panicked at Aunt Xi who had followed her out, and walked towards Aunt Xi.
Since Bogujia belongs to Yu Xijiao's biological mother, his reasons cannot stand.
"I...I still have something to do. I'll go back and take care of it first." Standing at the door, Grandma Xi was in shock. After standing still, she said to Grandma Xu, then turned around and left.
"Mother Xi, the masters are all talking inside. Even if you have something important, you have to wait until the masters have finished discussing it before you can leave."
Aunt Xu stretched out her hand to stop her.
"I...my feet hurt, so I'm going to take a short rest...go over there and rest for a while." Grandma Xi rolled her eyes and reached out toward the corner of the yard. She limped a little and thought about it.
Aunt Xu grabbed her and said, "If your foot hurts, Aunt Xu, go to my room to rest first. I have some medicine over there."
"No... no need!" Aunt Xi was extremely flustered.
"Mother Xi, you don't have to be polite. We are all slaves and we know our own hardships best. While the masters are talking, you can come here and give me some medicine. You can come over and serve me again when my wife goes out."
Without saying a word, Aunt Xu pulled Aunt Xi to the side room.
Before leaving, he winked at Qingyue and she understood.
Seeing Aunt Xi being taken away by Aunt Xu, Qian Lizhen didn't dare to do anything more at this time. She only looked anxiously at the door. Her uncle had been rude just now. She didn't know the reason at first, but now she understood and was panicking.
Very.
I no longer dare to cause trouble randomly, I even have a bad feeling in my heart.
Her arrogance and arrogance in the past were all due to Qian, but now what happened was beyond her imagination, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Qian Lizhen was in a panic. She looked at the door of the main room again and again, but did not dare to go forward. The other servants did not dare to go forward under Qingyue's eager gaze.
It was very quiet outside the house for a while. Everyone was waiting motionless outside for any movement inside. It seemed like a long time...
Inside the room, seeing everyone retreating, Yu Xijiao once again lamented that there were not enough people.
"Madam, this Bogu frame is mine, and my father knows about it." Yu Xijiao didn't tactfully say it, she went straight to the point.
"This... this Bogu rack was used by Li Zhen at that time." Qian stammered, his eyes nervously falling on the ground, and his attention was still on the broken plum vase.
"Bang" hit the table hard, and Yu Ruiwen sneered: "This ancient rack was Xie's dowry back then. It was her intention at the time. How could it become Qian Lizhen's belongings when it was moved from her house to Yaoshui Pavilion?"
, when did the word 'Qian' engraved on something belonging to the Xie family become the property of the Qian family?"
Qian was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.
"Madam, this ancient rack was my mother's dowry at the time. I heard from the old man in the house that it had been in my mother's yard before. After she gave birth to me, my mother began to decorate the Yaoshui Pavilion and wanted to keep the Yaoshui Pavilion.
Let me live here, and my mother sent her the Bogu rack she liked, and when it arrived, she put it in the Yaoshui Pavilion."
"Ms. Qian, have you forgotten that I had some household items taken away from Yaoshui Pavilion?" Yu Ruiwen said coldly.
A bright light suddenly flashed in front of Qian's eyes, and something she had almost forgotten for a long time suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. Yaoshui Pavilion was empty, and Qian Lizhen came over to ask Yu Ruiwen to live in Yaoshui Pavilion. She asked Yu Ruiwen at that time, and Yu Ruiwen agreed.
, but when I came over later, I found that the people in the mansion were moving the Bogu shelves.
Qian Lizhen was still young at that time and felt that Yaoshui Pavilion was hers. She cried and refused to let the people in the house move away the ancient bookshelf and several other items. Qian also wanted to intercede with Yu Ruiwen.
He wanted to keep these pieces, but was scolded by Yu Ruiwen. He had no choice but to coax Qian Lizhen, saying that he would repair them and send them in later.
After that, Qian went to search for several similar ones and sent them in.
"Madam, I don't know if the previous rack belongs to Miss Qian, but I know that I got this rack from my father, so it must be mine, and there is no way the word 'Qian' appears on the rack.
"Yu Xijiao said, her voice was a bit cold, but every word was very clear.
After finishing speaking, he walked behind the book shelf and pointed to the word "money" on the back: "I don't know who could sneak into my house and secretly carve the word "money" in order to save my mother's money.
The things were regarded as belongings to the money girl, and now they are still causing such trouble."
Qian was speechless and couldn't say a word. Her mind was in a mess. The word "money" in her eyes was almost a sarcasm to her, trying to cover up her confusion.
For a moment, the room was so quiet that it was almost eerie.
"But... it may be a mistake." Mrs. Qian laughed twice, finally found her voice, and exhaled hard, "The maid and mother-in-law in this house may indeed have unclean hands and feet.
, all the maids and mothers-in-law of Yaoshui Pavilion must be carefully scrutinized to see who is stirring up trouble here."
With the last few words, Mrs. Qian had regained her senses. She raised her eyes and looked a little gentler: "Master Hou, this matter is not a big deal. Li Zhen has always been carefree and straight-tempered.
, whatever you say, someone must have said something to her that made her so angry, and she came up to talk about this Bogujia thing."
Yu Xijiao sneered. Qian's reaction was indeed quick. In a few words, he had already reversed what he had just said. He raised his watery eyes and looked at Yu Ruiwen calmly, with a bit of sadness and indignation in his calmness.
Then she picked up the hem of her skirt, took a step forward, and knelt down in front of Yu Ruiwen: "Father, my daughter knows that she has caused a lot of trouble to her father by coming to the house, so please ask her father to send me back to Jiangnan now."
She knelt firmly, her slender body not swaying at all, and only a glint of tears flashed in her eyes. She didn't ask for the whole story, she just wanted to go back.
Gradually, the eyes lost their luster, and the long eyelashes slowly fell down, covering up all the sadness in the eyes.
"Get up first, you are my daughter, why should you make way for a daughter of the Qian family?" Yu Ruiwen's heart was stabbed hard. When his daughter saw him in the past few days, he could clearly see the Mu Ru in his eyes.
, Yu Ruiwen was also happy that this daughter, who had been raised in Jiangnan for so many years, could be so close to him.
But now what he saw was that the sparkling light in his daughter's eyes was receding and dimming. It was a disappointment to him as a father. He was so disappointed that he didn't want to say anything more. Even though he had always felt that he actually didn't care about his daughter that much, at this time he couldn't
I was shocked by my daughter's disappointed look, and felt a twinge in my heart.
He stretched out his hand to pick up his little daughter. He had already made up his mind. His eyes fell on Qian's body coldly: "Let your niece go back. This is the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion. She, a daughter of Qian's family, has received so much, but she still pays for it."
I dare to think of everything about Jiao'er, and I won't have to come here again."
"Master Hou!" Qian exclaimed.
"Why, our family has raised her so big that she is almost half the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Are you still unwilling to push Jiao'er away? Qian, I told you before that if you can't manage the family,
, you don’t have to worry about the affairs in this house." Yu Ruiwen said coldly.
What happened today made him very angry. Qian Lizhen dared to say such things and do such things in front of him. When facing her little daughter in private, she was not sure how to bully her.
He had no idea when he didn't see this little daughter, but when he saw this little daughter looking at him with admiration, he clearly realized that this was his little daughter, a daughter who was connected to him by blood.
This is also... what Xie told him at that time.
Some old yellowing scenes are almost impossible to recall in the depths of my memory, but now they are clear. At that time, Mr. Xie took the Tufu in his hand, and he... had never finished it!
"What, I don't understand, do you want me to drive them away myself?" Seeing that Qian didn't move, Yu Ruiwen said sharply.
Qian took a step back in fright. Just as she was about to open her mouth to plead for Qian Lizhen, she suddenly heard a trembling voice from someone outside: "Master Marquis, Madam... something big has happened. There are... men's clothes!"
