When Mrs. Chen arrived at Ronghuayuan, Xie Yuan had already been taken away, but Mrs. Yang was still there, but her eyes were red as if she had cried, and the old lady's face was also gloomy and not very pretty.
Mrs. Chen felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and walked up to the old lady and blessed her, "Mother."
No matter how stupid she is, she still sees that something is wrong today, but Nanny Zhu has just mentioned something to her, saying that since the old lady sent her away, she naturally hoped that she would not talk too much and ask too many questions.
Mrs. Chen asked herself that she was not a smart person, so she just listened to what Nanny Zhu said.
"Yes." The old lady responded casually. She raised her eyes and scanned Mrs. Chen from top to bottom. Seeing that although her face was a little tense, she was still calm, so she immediately said, "Today's meeting in the hall
Do you remember all the ladies who came up?"
"Return to mother, remember."
The old lady nodded, "There are quite a few people in the hall today, and you have put in some effort to remember them all." At this point, the old lady changed the topic, and then said, "However, this was originally the case.
This is what you, the wife of the Crown Prince, should do. In these years, you have been away from the capital, and your younger siblings have always been helping you take care of the middle prince of the Hou Mansion. Now that you are back, supposedly you are back, and the middle prince of the Hou Mansion should be handed over to you.
It’s in your hands…”
"Mother." Yang called the old lady full of grievance.
She has already surrendered to this point, will the old lady still take away her power as housekeeper?
The old lady seemed not to have heard anything, and continued to say to Mrs. Chen, "But you have just returned to the capital, and the people in the mansion still don't recognize you. Therefore, your siblings will help you take care of the Zhongzheng for the time being, but you
As the wife of the Crown Prince, I cannot do nothing. The end of the year is coming soon, and it’s time to make winter clothes in the palace. Why don’t you take over the sewing room first, what do you think?"
Chen naturally did not dare to disagree.
Although Mrs. Yang was not happy, compared to having her middle son taken away, just taking away a small sewing room from her hands was nothing, and besides, this sewing room was not that easy to manage.
Thinking of this, Yang's eyes suddenly flashed with a dark light.
After coming out of Ronghua Courtyard, Mrs. Chen hurried to Cuizhu Courtyard.
She was still thinking about Sister Wu, and she didn't know if the rash on her body had subsided after taking the medicine.
As for Xie Wu, after seeing off the Lu Zhan brothers and sisters, she had someone call Nianyue in.
Perhaps she had been kneeling for a long time, and Nian Yue's face was pale and pale, and there were teeth marks on the corners of her lips, but her eyes were still filled with dissatisfaction.
Xie Wu held the teapot with her sleeves and poured herself a cup of tea gracefully. The tea trickled into the cup, and Xie Wu's cold voice also rang out, "Why, you haven't figured it out after kneeling for so long?"
"I really don't know where I went wrong." Nianyue gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain in her knees.
She came on duty early this morning and didn't even see Xie Wu's face. Xie Wu asked the little maid to send a message asking her to kneel outside. Of course she was not convinced!
Xie Wu chuckled lightly, her slender eyes flashing, and her voice became clearer and clearer, "Oh, don't you know? Who was the person who drugged my bathtub last night?"
Nianyue trembled suddenly, and her heart was even more frightened, but even so, she knew that she could never admit this.
"Girl, I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything."
After listening to Nianyue's words, Xie Wu raised her slender eyebrows slightly, and then she raised her hand to tuck her hair at the temples.
As she moved, the sleeve corners embroidered with cloud patterns slowly slid down, revealing a section of snow-white arms.
"You, your hands..." Nianyue stared at Xie Wu's arm with wide eyes, but the skin on the snowy arm was as smooth and delicate as fine silk, without any flaws.
Nianyue was a little overwhelmed.
Last night, she clearly saw that Xie Wu's arms were covered with blood marks from scratches. How could there be no traces at all?
"Impossible, impossible..."
Xie Wu didn't say anything, she just looked at Nian Yue quietly.
The long silence and gaze finally made Nianyue unbearable and her whole body was shaking like a sieve, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to admit it, only covered her face and kept crying.
How could she admit to such a big crime, how dare she admit it!
"Girl, the doctor has tested the water. Poinsettia powder has been added to the water." At this time, a little maid ran in and said to Xie Wu.
Xie Wu nodded, and then told the little maid, "It's time to disperse in the front yard. Let someone guard the door. If father comes back, invite him here."
This is to ask Xie Zheng to come over and make the decision for her.
I can't hide it anymore, I can't hide it anymore...
At this moment, Nian Yue seemed to have been drained of all her life, her body tilted and she fell limp to the ground.
"Nian Yue, I remember I told you that the second aunt can't protect you from everything, just like this time..." Seeing Nianyue slumped to the ground, Xie Wu even raised her eyebrows.
He didn't move, his voice was cold and cold, with a hint of unspeakable sarcasm and ridicule.
"Aunt... girl..."
"I remember that you are the son of a family member in our house, and there is an old woman and younger brother outside?" Xie Wu picked up the teacup and continued.
"Girl, I did everything. My mother didn't know anything about it...Girl..." Nianyue finally woke up from despair. She struggled to crawl to Xie Wu and held her hand in her arms.
Legs cried and begged.
Xie Wu didn't say anything, but cast a look. Mrs. Luo behind her immediately understood. She came up and grabbed Nian Yue, and separated the two of them with one blow.
This Mrs. Luo was brought back from Ningxia by Mrs. Chen. She made delicious food and was arranged by Mrs. Chen in the small kitchen of Cuizhuyuan.
Except for the maids and ladies in Cuizhuyuan who were brought over by Mrs. Chen from Ningxia, all the other maids and ladies in Cuizhuyuan were arranged by Mr. Yang. Even if these people were not Yang's spies, they were still sneaky people. Therefore, she had people take care of them early in the morning.
Grandma Luo called over. Unexpectedly, Grandma Luo was not only good at food and cooking, but also smart.
Nianyue cried and wanted to crawl over, but Mrs. Luo was very strong, and her hands were clamped like leather clamps to prevent her from moving at all.
"Girl, please, please, for the sake of my slave serving you for so many years..." Nianyue was still unwilling to give up and continued to cry towards Xie Wu.
Grandma Luo looked annoyed, and simply pulled out a sweat towel from her arms and stuffed it into Nianyue's mouth.
Mi Yue happened to see this scene when she came in.
She was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Xie Wu, knelt down and said softly, "Girl."
Nian Yue's muffled whimpers filled her ears, but Mi Yue seemed not to hear her, and only stared at her toes silently.
Xie Wu smiled lightly, put down the tea cup, looked at Mi Yue calmly and said, "Are you feeling better?"
"As far as I'm concerned, girl, I've been feeling much better after taking medicine." Miyue replied respectfully, with no expression on her delicate face.
Xie Wu nodded and said no more.
Mi Yue pursed her lips, hesitated again and again, and finally walked over to stand next to Xie Wu.
That's where she used to stand.
It is also the most flattering position in front of the girl.
Fortunately, Xie Wu just glanced at her lightly, and then started drinking tea.
The tight string in my heart finally relaxed.
Miyue slowly exhaled a breath, knowing that she had already passed this level.
"Sister, sister." Before Xie Zheng arrived, Xie Xu ran in with a smile, but then he realized something was wrong, "Sister, what's wrong with Nianyue?"
Seeing Xie Xu mentioning her, a glimmer of hope ignited in Nianyue's heart, and she began to struggle again, looking at Xie Xu with eyes full of begging.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law who was holding her simply stretched out her hand and twisted her waist hard. Nian Yue's face turned pale in pain, but her mouth was blocked and she could only let out a few whimpers.
Xie Wu seemed not to notice. She lightly touched the corners of her lips and asked Xie Xu instead, "You are so happy, but what interesting things happened in the hall?"
"Sister, Nian Yue, she..."
"She did something wrong and I was about to punish her. Why, A Xu wants to plead for her?" Xie Wu looked at Xie Xu with a faint smile.
Xie Xu shook his head hurriedly and said to Xie Wu solemnly, "Grandpa said that if you do something wrong, you will be punished. Even if the king of heaven comes, it will be useless!"
Grandfather Xie Yu...
"Girl, don't cry, grandpa will always protect you."
In her ears, she heard the image of her grandfather reaching out to wipe away her tears.
Since then, she has never cried again.
"By the way, sister, I just won the pot throw in Meiyuan, and I beat my elder brother!" Xie Xu suddenly remembered the purpose of coming here, and he looked at Xie Wu excitedly and said.
"Really? A Xu is really amazing." Xie Wu smiled and touched Xie Xu's head.
"But sister, how did you know that your eldest brother would suggest going to Yimei Garden and also compose poems?" Xie Xu asked the question in his heart.
Early this morning, Xie Wu sent a little maid to deliver a message to him. She said that if Xie Shi suggested going to Yimei Garden to compose poems, she would let him say that he wanted to play hut.
Xie Wuyan smiled and said to him in a soft voice, "Can A Xu know how to compose poetry?"
A Xu has been influenced by his grandfather since he was a child. He only likes to dance with swords and guns, so he is naturally slack on poetry and writing.
Xie Shi proposed to write poems with the intention of seeing A Xu's jokes, but A Xu said that he wanted to play hut. In front of so many people, it was naturally difficult for him to refute A Xu's face.
Besides, Xie Wu knew that Xie Shi was very confident in his riding and shooting skills.
Therefore, Xie Wu expected to be slapped in the face by A Xu.
When his sister asked about the pain point, Xie Shi touched his head and laughed twice in embarrassment.
What his grandfather Xie Yu often said was - what bothers me the most is the scholar who keeps nagging all day long. From time to time he writes a few sour poems about flowers falling and birds chirping. If I have this free time, I might as well chew more.
A big white steamed bun, kill a few more Tatar barbarians!
As the direct grandson of his grandfather, he has always regarded his grandfather's words as golden rules, so when he studies...
"Axu, do you think studying is not important?" Xie Wu's voice was still soft.
Xie Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wu, then lowered his head and muttered in a low voice, "Grandpa said that people who study too much will become stupid..."
After hearing this, Xie Wu couldn't help but chuckle, and then she smiled and said to Xie Xu, "Grandpa only said sour grapes when he couldn't eat them. Although he said that Mr. Pei's words were rude, he said it behind his back.
I often pestered Mr. Pei to teach him how to write."
"How is that possible!" Xie Xu raised his head in disbelief.
Xie Wu smiled again, "If grandfather really hates scholars so much, why not drive Mr. Pei away instead of letting him be your husband?"
Xie Xu fell silent.
He really couldn't accept it.
He has always regarded his grandfather as his idol, and he doesn't like it even if his grandfather doesn't like it, but now...
Seemingly reading Xie Xu's thoughts, Xie Wu chuckled lightly and said, "Axu, sister has something to do here. Look... do you want to go back to the study and read a book?"
