How could Qiao Yuning tolerate her aggressive look? She was born with a soft and weak look, and now she was almost crying until she couldn't breathe, which made people look very pitiful.
Mrs. Xu finally frowned, ignoring Nanny Liu who was supporting her, and held Qiao Yuning in her arms, "Well, it's not your fault in this matter. It's not that you are too strong-tempered and scared your sister."
Qiao Weisheng realized something was wrong at this time. He turned to look at his wife and saw her comforting her little daughter in a low voice. She seemed not surprised by the situation.
"So Dad, you also saw that that day was just like today. My mother thought that I bullied my sister. I was not raised in the family to begin with. My grandmother has always taught me to be a generous person.
It is what it is, and what should be done is done. I just said a few words in a straightforward manner, and neither beat her nor scolded her. Why did I make my second sister cry like this?"
Qiao Weisheng's brows furrowed even more tightly, but he still felt a little unbelievable that such a little thing could spread like that outside.
"Really?"
Qiao Yuyan chuckled and said, "Everyone is here! What can I say to lie? Besides, with my mother protecting her like this, if not, why would I be allowed to talk nonsense?"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Xu's face became a little ugly. She looked at the girl in her arms and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. It was just a few words. How could Sister Ning be so careless? She deserves to kneel down.
?
Those who didn't know the details, such as the Yao family and their daughter, were a little surprised when they heard Qiao Yuyan's words. They always thought that the second girl was soft-tempered and the eldest girl was domineering. Although they thought it was a bit ridiculous when they heard the rumors, they still favored Qiao Yuning.
But now it seems...
"Big girl, it's all my fault. I didn't teach your sister well. She has always been timid, and she was spoiled by me and didn't know the world. That's why I caused you trouble, big girl. I apologize to you on her behalf." Aunt Pei said.
After a while, he quickly squeezed over and knelt down without saying a word.
Qiao Yuyan quickly took a step back and spread her hands, "Come on, here comes another one. Could it be that tomorrow's rumor is that not only does the eldest daughter of the Qiao family want her concubine to kneel to her, but she even ignores her father's aunt and has to kneel down.
Have you spoken?"
"This..." Aunt Pei never expected that Qiao Yuyan would dare to shame her in public.
She has been getting along well over the years. Even Qiao Weisheng and Mrs. Xu are very kind to her, and the servants below are even more respectful to her. Although she is an aunt, she is not much worse than Ms. Xu, as if she is an aunt.
It means being an equal wife.
This is the first time that someone has embarrassed her like this. She is still a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. Her delicate and beautiful face turned purple with embarrassment, but her body was still half-kneeling and bowing, which looked funny and ridiculous.
"Cousin..." Aunt Pei went to see Qiao Weisheng every now and then.
Qiao Yuning hurriedly broke away from Mrs. Xu's arms and ran over to help her biological mother up. She looked at Qiao Yuyan with resentment in her tearful eyes, "It's true that my sister did something wrong. Sister, I will admit it if you beat me and scold me, but my aunt sincerely loves you."
Apologize, why did you bully her so unreasonably?!"
Qiao Weisheng felt that his head was getting big. He had always paid less attention to the affairs of the inner courtyard. The wife and concubine at home had always gotten along very well. There had never been such a mess.
"My second sister's words are unreasonable. You, a common lady, can kneel down and cry every now and then. Your aunt was originally a concubine. What qualifications does she have to apologize for you? What's more, even though you can do this,
No, but the problem is not with you!"
Qiao Yuning was stunned by what she said. Wasn't she so aggressive just to embarrass herself? Why did she suddenly say that it was not her fault?
When Qiao Yuyan saw that her parents and the old lady were looking over, she calmed down and said, "This matter did happen because of you, but in my opinion, you are just a little bit petty at most, and you love to cry and kneel all the time.
But after all, this is a matter between us sisters. Are you the one who spread these rumors outside?"
"Of course not!" Qiao Yuning immediately denied it.
"That's it, why is father angry? In fact, it's because such rumors have spread outside. It's not only ruining my reputation, but also our entire Qiao family. This is the key. Those who spread such rumors,
Especially those who deliberately distort the facts and publicize this matter should be punished with death!"
As she said that, she turned her eyes to Aunt Pei and said, "Auntie, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Now that my mother is heavy, it is inevitable that she cannot take care of many things. You and Aunt Liu are the ones who support everything in the house.
Even Aunt Liu came to tell me about the rumors yesterday and said she wanted to investigate them carefully.
But what about you, aunt? When something like this happened, your first reaction was the same as that of a little girl like Sister Ning. She came to me crying and knelt down to apologize. Isn’t this adding fuel to the fire? How can I help my mother with such a petty attitude?
Things at home?"
This long paragraph of her words was thrown out one by one, which made Aunt Pei dizzy. Her purple-swollen face now turned pale.
Qiao Weisheng's expression turned from anger to joy. Looking at his daughter's upright posture, although her face was still a little childish, her expression made people feel that she had an inviolable air.
The old lady smiled and stroked her hands and said: "This is very true. Although we are not as good as those nobles, we are a century-old family and have the name of an earl. Could it be that the young lady in the family can only cry? Then
What is it like? Now that something like this has happened, it can be seen that the management in the government is too lax!"
Ms. Xu quickly stood up and apologized, but the old lady quickly asked the maid next to her to support her, "I can't blame you! You are feeling unhappy and uncomfortable now. You have no time to worry about it, so you still have to find a way to be careful."
Qiao Weisheng also came to his senses and saw that Aunt Liu and Qiao Yuyan were standing together, so he nodded and said, "So you hit Aunt Liu..."
"Where do you start talking about this?" Aunt Liu was standing next to Qiao Yuyan. When she heard this, she hurriedly said, "Although I am a servant, the eldest lady has always been polite to my servants. She even sent someone to see her off yesterday.
I have a box of pastries..."
He suddenly paused as he spoke, "Yes, that day I was sitting and chatting with the older girl. When we were talking about the rumors outside, the girl was so angry that she accidentally hit the teacup and it happened to spill next to me. Don't spread misinformation like this.
Alright?"
This explanation surprised Qiao Weisheng again, and he said hurriedly: "But I also heard that she dared to touch the old lady's medicine..."
"Then she really dares!" This time it was the old lady with a fierce face.
