"Since Miss Li said this is a misunderstanding..." Yu Xijiao paused here, and then smiled again, "Then I will go to the palace and tell the story to the seventh princess, so that the seventh princess can also hear a joke."
Li Xiangyi's face couldn't help but froze for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "Miss Yu San, this matter is really a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? I can say it was a misunderstanding. I don't know if the Seventh Princess admits that it is a misunderstanding." Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed and she continued.
The Seventh Princess's arrogant reputation has long been spread due to previous events.
I dare to say that the seventh princess wants to harm Yu Xijiao. Regardless of whether this is true or not, the seventh princess will not let it go.
"Miss Li is really straight forward. I mentioned a few manpower before, but it's still true. Thank you Miss Li." Yu Xijiao said again.
The things are fake, but the hands are real.
There was something wrong with the two mothers-in-law who lived with the Zhou family. Since both of them had a lot of money, they secretly took advantage of it, so they knew something was wrong.
After checking, one of them is actually related to a nanny next to the seventh princess, and it is indeed the nanny next to the seventh princess who is staring at Yu Xijiao.
The other one has a good relationship with the mother-in-law of Qian Mansion.
It can be said that these two are not very clean.
What he said is exactly what Li Xiangyi said.
The calmness on Li Xiangyi's face could no longer be maintained. He bit his lip, stood up and knelt down uneasily: "Miss Yu San, this matter is really my fault. I...even if I really heard it now, I still can't bear it."
I don’t dare to talk about this anymore, please Miss Yu San, please let me go.”
This is recognition, but not recognition.
He expressed his difficulties and his helplessness.
With her current status, she really shouldn't offend the Seventh Princess, let alone mention the Seventh Princess. Her denial of the Seventh Princess's affairs can be considered excusable.
But it was forgivable in terms of reason, but Yu Xijiao did not let her go. Her tone was as calm as ever: "Help Miss Li get up."
Mingyue stepped forward and helped Li Xiangyi up, and sat down on the brocade stool again.
"Miss Li, I want to know how you know the manpower of the Seventh Princess?" Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully, without pursuing the truth or falsehood of the matter.
"Miss Yu San... I... really don't know anything. I only heard it occasionally, but actually... I didn't see anyone." The calmness on Li Xiangyi's face had long been broken, and he looked uneasy.
This looks a bit more pitiful and makes people feel more pitiable than the gentle and decent look just now.
"There shouldn't be many servants in Prince Duan's palace." Yu Xijiao's voice was low, as if she was talking to herself, "Since things are true, there are always some clues."
This means that we still need to investigate, even if the other party is Prince Duan's Mansion.
This third girl from the Xuanping Hou Mansion is really as bold as others said, and dares to do some unthinkable things.
Li Xiangyi pursed his lips, curled his fingers and then let them go, then curled them up again and clenched them into fists.
"Miss Yu, Xiangyi really doesn't know anything." Finally, she gritted her teeth and did as she thought before. She didn't believe that Yu Xijiao could really go to the palace to investigate.
Then he deliberately added, "Many people came to Prince Duan's Mansion that day, including other princes and princes."
The other princes and princes also have chamberlains around them, which magnifies the scope to an extreme. I don't believe that Miss Yu San is so capable and really dares to investigate.
Is Prince Qi so powerful?
How dare you even inquire about Prince Duan's Mansion?
"Miss Li, do you really think you heard me wrong?" Seeing her repeated denials, Yu Xijiao was not surprised and asked again.
"I really heard wrong. It's all Xiangyi's fault." Li Xiangyi lowered his head and affirmed again, his voice becoming more sincere and gentle.
"Can I ask Miss Li if she is engaged?" Yu Xijiao smiled and suddenly changed the topic.
This was said too abruptly. One moment he was pressuring and the next moment he was chatting away. Li Xiangyi was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said and hurriedly said: "Not really."
"With Miss Li's age, why don't you get engaged?" Yu Xijiao asked curiously. She specifically asked the age of this man named Li Xiangyi. Seventeen is really not young.
"At the beginning, it was because my mother wanted to choose a good marriage for me, and she kept choosing a good marriage..." Li Xiangyi said softly, lowering his head with a shy look on his face, "Later, my mother passed away, and I did not pay filial piety until three years ago.
"
Three years ago, when I was fourteen years old, I was still young and not engaged, so I observed mourning for three years.
"Master Li must love Miss Li very much." Yu Xijiao praised.
"My father only has one daughter and no heirs. If Xiangyi had not had any brothers, he would not have gone to Beijing alone to redress his grievances."
Li Xiangyi said shyly, looking like an ordinary unmarried girl.
Everything is in line with her identity. At this moment, Li Xiangyi is just a girl waiting for marriage. It's okay if she doesn't mention her marriage, but she looks shy when she mentions her marriage.
Although the matter is a matter, half a year has passed since the so-called keeping of filial piety. At her age, naturally she can't wait any longer. Ordinary people will choose the filial piety immediately, and the two families will get married as long as they are suitable. How can she wait for another half year?
as long as.
There is still no engagement.
"I heard that a member of the clan fell in love with Miss Li, and that's why this happened?" Yu Xi asked with a smile.
Li Xiangyi squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, then lowered his head and admitted, "I was the one who harmed my father."
"Master Li, didn't you fall in love with that clan member?" Yu Xijiao asked curiously. The clan member in this case was very famous.
"That man is not a good person, and he wants to take me into the house by force. Of course, my father won't allow it." Li Xiangyi said.
"Didn't I say I would give you a good welcome?" Yu Xijiao asked back.
"I told you later that my father would not allow me to marry such a person. Since my mother passed away, our father and daughter have been dependent on each other. Xiangyi would rather not get married than stay with his father."
Li Xiangyi smiled bitterly.
It means that there is something wrong with the character of this clan member, but there is indeed something wrong with the character of this clan child. When he fell in love with the other person and found out that the other party refused, he sent his father to prison. He might have been beheaded as well.
If you talk about it this way as a person who confiscates a house, this clan member is indeed not a good person.
If such a person can refuse to marry, then of course he will not.
Thinking about it this way, I feel more and more that the Li Xiangyi in front of me is a pitiful person. He has a good character and a good reputation. Now because he was taken in by someone, he has caused such a big disaster. He has no choice but to go to Beijing to save his father.
From this point on, all the daughters of aristocratic families in the capital are incomparable.
Although she is the daughter of a small official and is different from the daughter of a big family in Beijing, she is now extremely famous in the capital. Both officials and common people find this woman's filial piety touching.
I'm afraid not even my son can do this.
However, Yu Xijiao felt that the woman in front of her was even more difficult to deal with. With her current reputation, it was inconvenient for anyone to attack her directly.
Even if he knew that what she told before was a lie, but he couldn't explain it clearly, it would only make people think that he wanted to frame her.
Compared to her, Yu Xijiao knew that her reputation was average at best and could not be compared with Li Xiangyi. This was why Li Xiangyi confidently insisted that she had heard wrong.
She heard wrongly, and she couldn't care about it. If she did, others would only think it was her fault, even if her maid testified.
With Li Xiangyi's current reputation, no one will really force her to submit. As long as she understands this, Li Xiangyi can regurgitate what happened at the beginning.
There is no word about the Seventh Princess harming Yu Xijiao, and naturally there are no consequences caused by this matter. Everything is just Yu Xijiao's own imagination...
All in all, this is just trying to get rid of the problem.
Looking at Li Xiangyi again, no matter what she is saying now, she looks very sincere. Every word and deed is full of gentleness. Her behavior and behavior all make people like her. Her eyes can't help but look a little darker. The person in front of her is...
The woman named Li Xiangyi is difficult to deal with.
And she should... assume that she has other plans, and there is even someone behind her...
Yu
Xijiao then asked about some local things, related to the place where Li Xiangyi's father was an official. Li Xiangyi also answered fluently without any stagnation. Even after Yu Xijiao deliberately said something wrong, she even deliberately said
Remind Yu Xijiao to get back what she said.
Everything is flawless.
Speaking later, after Yu Xijiao fell silent, Li Xiangyi stood up again, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and once again expressed his guilt to Yu Xijiao: "Miss Yu, if my previous... words confused Miss Yu
Please forgive me, Miss Yu San. Xiangyi is just a weak woman. Now she just wants to save her father and is not willing to fight again. She just wants to save her father properly. If there is anything I did wrong, please forgive me, Miss Yu San!"
After saying that, he bowed sideways again.
The words were reasonable, reasonable, and even sincere. Even if Yu Xijiao was the one who was rejected, she still felt that it should be like this. She even felt that Li Xiangyi couldn't help it. What could she, a weak woman, do with her?
The Seventh Princess dared to say that before because there was no hope of saving her father and she felt that Dali Temple was arresting her.
Now that the truth is out, she doesn't dare to stir up trouble, let alone fight to the death against the Seventh Princess. It's all justifiable. This is indeed the reason.
"Since Miss Li said so, just think that I came here today in vain. Mingyue will see you off." Yu Xijiao said.
Mingyue stepped forward in response and extended her hand: "Miss Li, please!"
"Miss Yu, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault." Li Xiangyi was not in a hurry to leave. He moved his feet a little, then stopped, his face full of guilt and sincerity, and then he bent sideways again.
After bowing, his voice became a little lower: "This time, Xiangyi owes Miss Yu three. If Miss Yu has any responsibilities in the future, I will not refuse."
After saying that, he followed Mingyue and left.
This woman is indeed not a simple woman. At such a time, she can still speak so sincerely, as if everything she said is true.
If she hadn't gone back on her promise, she would even have led the Dali Temple minister to chase her at her door. After that, Yu Xijiao seemed to want to take the blame, and Yu Xijiao almost believed it.
What he said just now, it is certain that this woman is indeed a woman from that place. I can't see through other places, and I can't guess what she is thinking.
But one thing, Yu Xijiao is certain, Zhang Wanyin and Li Xiangyi are connected, whether it is direct or indirect, this needs to be paid more attention to.
Zhang Wanyin's malice towards Yu Xijiao has never stopped...
