"Miss Yu, my second aunt sent funeral objects to your house that day. One of them is a tapestry table screen. The embroidered pictures on it are exactly the same as those presented by Miss Yu, right?"
Yu Xijiao's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by several people around her.
"Miss Yu San, the funeral objects you delivered to the house that day were actually just average. Where is this one? Besides, I embroidered it myself, how could I not know about it? I had already embroidered it before you came to Beijing.
Embroidered. Miss Yu has just entered the capital. I wonder why she is so hostile to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?"
Yu Lanxue said coldly, this time she no longer called Yu Xijiao her sister affectionately.
It is impossible to admit it, even if you die, you will not admit it.
"Miss Yu, do you think there is no evidence?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"Miss Yu, just show me the evidence." Yu Lanxue was brave enough at this time, glaring at Yu Xijiao and asked, "Can Miss Yu bring out the evidence now?"
It was delivered as a funeral gift that day, and the gift list only mentioned the table and screen. The rest was not stated clearly and without proof, she would not recognize it.
"Miss Yu, do you still remember what the funeral objects were?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and asked calmly.
"Sister Xuan just passed away. Who will remember this at this time? If Miss Yu really wants to see it, she can have someone go to the house to get the list at that time. It must be clearly written on it." Yu Lanxue said coldly.
The table screen has been dismantled by her. It would not be a waste to give such a good thing to Yu Lanxuan as a funeral gift. Not only the table screen, but also those good things, her mother had put them away early. Yu Lanxuan died as soon as she died. Where?
It's worthy of such a good thing.
"Empress, are there any palace maids around you who are good at tinkering with makeup?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, bowed to the Empress and then said, these words were very abrupt.
"Yes." The queen took a deep look at Yu Xijiao and nodded.
"Can you trouble this palace lady to come over?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
The queen called a nanny next to her, gave a few instructions, and left.
"Miss Yu San, are these really burial objects?" After the mama left, the queen frowned and looked at the embroidery in front of her with discomfort, and continued to ask, how much she liked it before, but now she is disgusted with it.
As for what Yu Xijiao said suddenly, no one paid much attention to it.
"I would like to report to you, Madam, that these are indeed burial objects. I brought them from the south of the Yangtze River to the Lord of Lanxuan County as an offering. My second aunt specially brought them to the Lord of Lanxuan County to repay me for saving me."
Yu Xi said delicately and generously.
"Yu Lanxuan saved you?" the queen asked curiously.
Yu Xijiao then explained clearly what happened when she was rescued by Yu Lanxuan.
After she finished speaking, the queen nodded repeatedly and looked at Yu Xijiao a little kindly: "She is a person who repays her kindness. But now, I can't say that these are burial objects based on your words. Evidence is always needed."
"Your Majesty, the Queen, although I may have seen other embroidery pieces as a reference, I must have embroidered it myself. I beg the Queen to clear my name." Yu Lanxue shed tears in grievance, red.
He looked at Yu Xijiao with his eyes, angry and anxious.
The ladies of the surrounding aristocratic families did not dare to say anything, they were all listening quietly to the conversation between the two of them, secretly guessing who was telling the truth.
Burial gifts? Are you really so brave? If such a thing really happened, you would still deliver them to the Queen. This is too courageous!
"Empress, I have evidence for you." Yu Xijiao suddenly said.
Yu Lanxue's heart beat hard, then she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Miss Yu, you must have evidence when you speak. If you tell lies before the Empress, you will be punished."
"If the queen has told lies, she will be punished. The same goes for Miss Yu?" Yu Xi said delicately.
"I should do the same." Yu Lanxue had to promise.
Looking at Yu Xijiao who was calm and composed, Yu Lanxue did not panic. If she had known that she had not been able to press Yu Xijiao down after entering the palace gate, she would not have presented this embroidery anyway.
"Queen, we're here." Grandma brought a palace maid over. This is the queen's maid who specializes in grooming. She is very good at applying makeup.
The queen has some makeup that this maid specially used to apply.
"Miss Yu, we are here." The Queen nodded.
Yu Xijiao looked at the eldest maid standing next to the queen and smiled. The embroidery was just a lead. The real proof was never the embroidery: "Please come here, my aunt."
The eldest maid looked at the queen, who nodded. The eldest maid took two steps forward, walked between Yu Xijiao and Yu Lanxuan, and saluted her: "Miss Yu, what do you want?"
"Auntie, what do you think of the makeup I used?" Yu Xijiao raised her delicate little face and looked at the eldest palace maid.
The eldest maid knelt down and looked at Yu Xijiao's little face in the light. She raised Yu Xijiao's hand, raised her nose and smelled it, then stood up straight: "Miss Yu didn't use any powder on her face.
The powder is good, very light, and it’s not the powder from any shop in the capital. It looks like it’s homemade, but it doesn’t look like it.”
Everyone's eyes fell on Yu Xijiao's face. Yu Xijiao had a delicate face, she was young, her complexion was snow-white, and her eyelashes were slender and curled. Even though she didn't have anything painted on, she already had an extraordinary face and charming eyes.
, I only heard that there was a light layer of powder on the back of her hand, which made people feel a little strange.
Isn’t the face the most important thing when applying powder?
"What my aunt said is true. The powder I use is brought from Jiangnan. It is slightly different from the one in Beijing. It is made by my own powder shop. But I don't like using these, so my grandmother specially asked someone to make a light and thin one for me.
The powder is very light when applied and is almost invisible after rubbing in. I didn’t expect my eldest aunt to be so discerning and she noticed it right away.”
Yu Xijiao smiled and praised.
A smile appeared on the face of the eldest palace maid. Everyone likes to hear nice words, especially now that the empress and empresses from other palaces are here, she is very proud.
I was happy in my heart, but it didn't show on my face: "Miss Yu, you are so polite. This is what you should do."
"Can you please take a look at the powder Miss Yu uses?" Yu Xijiao said calmly.
"Okay!" The eldest palace maid turned around to Yu Lanxue. The hair on Yu Lanxue's whole body stood on end, sweat formed on her nervous face, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
I had a bad feeling in my heart, but I didn't know where the threat came from.
Why didn't you check the embroidery pieces? Why did you suddenly ask the maid who is good at makeup and makeup to come over?
The eldest maid came close to Yu Lanxue, inspected her exquisitely dressed appearance, then took her hand and put it to her nose and smelled it.
Then laughed.
Yu Lanxue's expression changed drastically.
"The powder used by the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhengyuan is the finest product from Dieyu Pavilion in the capital. It is the most advanced golden shadow. This kind of golden shadow is extremely rare. Even if the aristocratic family in the capital needs it, they must order it early, otherwise it will not be available.
Yes, the slightly inferior Silver Shadow is also extremely good."
The eldest maid chatted eloquently and was quite familiar with the golden and silver shadows of Dieyu Pavilion.
Yu Lanxue breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her hands slowly, but the next moment her heart was raised again.
"Auntie is so familiar with the fans of Dieyu Pavilion, so she should also know the rules of Dieyu Pavilion, right?" Yu Xijiao slowly raised the corners of her lips and asked.
"I know a little bit." The eldest palace lady nodded. In fact, she knew a lot. The queen also liked their golden shadow very much.
"Does Auntie know about Jin Ying's appointment?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.
The eldest palace lady really knows about this matter, and this matter is under her control. The Queen needs the golden shadow, so naturally there is no need to make an appointment. Knowing that the Queen likes it, Dieyu Pavilion will specially leave the golden shadow for the Queen, but this does not hinder
The eldest maid knew that Jin Ying had a record of booking clients.
"I know that the aristocratic families who need golden shadows need to register in the register first, and then they can be allocated according to the above. The supply of golden shadows exceeds the demand, otherwise it would be difficult to be comprehensive." The eldest palace maid replied.
Yu Lanxue suddenly realized that something was wrong and her face turned red: "Miss Yu, please don't talk nonsense!"
"Miss Yu, it's really hard to say who is telling such lies. I remember when we were delivering the funeral objects, among the four funeral objects given by my second aunt, there were two boxes of golden shadows. These were given to me by my grandmother. I want to provide them to Lan.
Mr. Xuan County, you should remember it very clearly when you receive gifts from Zhengyuan Hou Mansion!"
Yu Xijiao said coldly.
"The two boxes of golden shadows belong to my grandmother, and Dieyu Pavilion has records. If Miss Yu believes that these golden shadows belong to you, you can check the ledger of Dieyu Pavilion to know whether there is a reservation for golden shadows in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion!"
Three years ago, her mother, An, would also use golden shadows, and would occasionally give Yu Lanxue a box. In the past three years, An and Yu Lanxuan have kept filial piety, but they still use golden shadows. Even if Yu Lanxue wants to use them, she will borrow them.
Even though the name of An family was not mentioned, An family kept her filial piety and even used gold shadow to carefully put on her makeup. The entire Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was embarrassed.
In her last life, in a dream, when Yu Lanyan beat her until she was covered in blood, she came over triumphantly to see her miserable condition. Yu Xijiao was sure that Yu Lanyan had no use for Jin Ying either.
Even Yu Lanyan, who was the newlywed mother at that time, was not used. How could there be a golden shadow in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?
"Miss Yu, since you deny using the funeral objects sent by my second aunt, then why do the golden shadows in the funeral objects appear on your body? Isn't it the funeral objects that my second aunt sent for me?"
"Yu Xijiao sneered in her heart, but the expression on her face revealed anger and annoyance.
"That's the funeral gift I offered to Mr. Lanxuan County. No matter how greedy your family is, they shouldn't do such a thing. Even a box of powder should be greedy. Now I still wonder if your family is even more greedy."
There are so many funeral objects, and how many of them are really good ones, are they all replaced by you? Are you worthy of the dead Marquis Zhengyuan, his wife and Lord Lanxuan? Not even the dead.
Let it go?"
The breakthrough point has never been the embroidery. The previous focus on embroidery was just to build the plank road. When Yu Xijiao chose the sacrifice, she had already considered many things. The Ning family and her daughter would definitely be greedy for their own use.
, it just depends on what occasion they used it. If there is no evidence, create the evidence yourself...
In one sentence, there was a huge stir.
Everyone was shocked. A box of golden shadows was actually involved in such a thing. It was really shocking. All that is left in Zhengyuanhou Mansion are the second and third bedrooms. Are the second and third bedrooms so vicious? Or is it Zhengyuanhou Mansion?
The second wife of the Yuanhou Mansion was responsible. It was Yu Lanyan who was in trouble before, and Yu Lanxue is now in trouble.
Anyone who knows the inside story knows that these two were born to the second wife, Ning, and are the legitimate daughters of the second wife.
