After seeing off Master Jueyuan, the smile on the old lady's face gradually faded, and a chill gradually gathered in her eyes.
Xie Wu raised her eyes and glanced at Nanny Zhu.
Nanny Zhu immediately understood and stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand and said, "Old madam, it's cold in the courtyard, why don't we go inside and sit down."
The old lady snorted coldly and stared at Mr. Yang with her sharp eyes until cold sweat broke out on her forehead and her face turned completely pale. She then turned around and walked towards the house with a flick of her sleeves.
Taoist Aunt Ma also felt very guilty.
Judging from the old lady's expression just now, it was clear that she was trying to settle accounts. Just when she was thinking about whether she should take the opportunity to sneak away, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
It's Xie Wu.
"Taoist nun, please go first." Xie Wu looked at Taoist nun Ma and said with a smile.
Taoist Aunt Ma stiffly tugged at the corner of her mouth. Even though her chest felt like a huge stone had fallen, she still had to step towards the house step by step under Xie Wu's faintly smiling eyes.
"Second Aunt." Xie Wu turned to look at Yang again.
Yang gritted her teeth hard, and the smell of blood gradually spread in her mouth. The look she looked at Xie Wu was more like a poisoned knife. For a moment, she really wanted to rush over and scratch Xie Wu to pieces.
Wu’s bright and charming face!
In the east room, the old lady sat on the warm couch with a gloomy look.
After Mi Yue had tea, she immediately returned behind Xie Wu.
Although the room was full of people, no one spoke.
The sound of a needle dropping could be heard in the room.
Yang shrugged her head and pulled the handkerchief with both hands slightly uneasily. Although Taoist Aunt Ma was extremely calm, her slightly trembling body and the cold sweat on her forehead betrayed her.
Finally, the old lady sneered, looked at Taoist Aunt Ma coldly, and said, "Why didn't Taoist Aunt Ma stop talking? Just now, didn't you say with certainty that my girl is possessed by an evil spirit?"
Taoist Aunt Ma had a stiff face and cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
"I have to be grateful to Taoist Aunt Ma today." The old lady didn't realize it. She sarcastically scanned Taoist Aunt Ma from top to bottom, and then continued in a cold voice, "If it weren't for Taoist Aunt Ma,
, I still don’t know that not all outsiders have a compassionate heart to help the world, there are also many people in the world like Taoist nuns who make trouble, accuse others of innocence, and deceive others and steal their reputation!"
"Old madam..." "Taoist nun behaves like this. If I have time in the future, I will have to talk to others properly!" The old lady stared at Taoist nun Ma with a serious look and said fiercely.
When she thought that she had treated Taoist Ma as an honored guest over the years, and even invited her to perform rituals to ward off the epidemic on such important days as the Laba Festival and the opening of ancestral temples in the Marquis Mansion every year, the old lady felt a surge of anger in her chest that she had been fooled.
Taoist Aunt Ma's face changed greatly after hearing this. She stood up in a hurry and said to the old lady, "Old lady, don't, everything is the fault of the poor Taoist. It's because the poor Taoist has a shallow way of doing things. He was misunderstood for a moment. The old lady has a lot of things to do."
Please don’t argue with me."
Those who interacted with the Marquis Wu'an Mansion were all dignitaries from the capital. If the old lady told them that she was a deceitful person, it would be difficult for her to survive in the capital in the future.
But the old lady didn't bother to look at her again. Instead, she turned around and told Nanny Zhu, "What are you doing here? Why don't you send Taoist nun out? The threshold of our Marquis Mansion is low. A master like Taoist nun is not allowed."
'I really can't afford to entertain you!"
"Yes." Aunt Zhu hurriedly responded, then walked up to Taoist Aunt Ma and looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Taoist Sister, please come."
"Old Madam..." Taoist Aunt Ma still refused to give up, "It's not that Pindao is causing trouble and slandering the eldest girl. All this is caused by the second lady in the house instigating Pindao..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Yang stood up suddenly and interrupted Taoist Aunt Ma sharply.
Mrs. Yang's face looked so ferocious at this moment that Taoist Aunt Ma was trembling in her heart. But now that things have come to a point, she has nowhere to retreat.
She knew that these words of hers had completely offended the Yang family, but she had to say that anyway, she had been completely offended by the Hou Mansion. The old lady also made it clear that she did not want to leave a way for her to survive. If she did not bring out the Yang family, I was afraid that she would
It’s no longer difficult to walk in the capital...
Yang is the second wife of the Hou family. The old lady may not leave a way for her to survive, but Yang, she still has to take some care.
"Old madam, everything Pindao says is true. Otherwise, Pindao has no enmity with the eldest girl, so there is really no reason to do these things." Now that things have happened, Taoist Ma can only risk everything and give it a try!
"You are evil, don't spit on others!" Yang pointed angrily at Taoist Ma, her voice sharp and harsh.
Even Aunt Li had a rare gloomy look on her face. She gritted her teeth and said to her, "Taoist sister, you have just slandered our eldest daughter from beginning to end, and now you are slandering my wife. Do you think our Marquis Mansion
Are you easy to bully? Or do you think our Marquis Mansion can't do anything to you?" There were all the eager eyes around her. Taoist Aunt Ma felt that she was breaking out in cold sweat, and her head was in chaos. At this moment, she suddenly saw someone sitting upright.
Xie Wu smiled and said nothing.
As if seeing the last straw, Taoist Aunt Ma suddenly ran over and threw herself in front of Xie Wu, holding her arms tightly with both hands, and said to her in a panic, "Miss, I
I’m not lying to you! It was really the Second Madam who instigated me! The clothes, Zhang Ren, and the leather mask are the evidence!"
Even though she was in such a state of panic and fear, she could still defend herself in such a clear and logical manner, which made Xie Wu have to admire her.
It seems that there is a reason why Taoist Aunt Ma has been able to get along like a fish in the circle of nobles over the years. She does have some abilities, but unfortunately, if her heart is not right, all her abilities will be in vain!
The smile at the corner of Xie Wu's mouth suddenly rippled like water waves.
Taoist Aunt Ma's eyes lit up. Just when she thought she was saved, Xie Wu remained silent. Only then did she see clearly the sarcasm and contempt hidden under her smile...
At this moment, she completely realized that she had reached a dead end.
"Grandma, what Granny Li said is right. This Taoist nun has slandered me before, and now she has implicated the second aunt. There may be someone behind such behavior. In my granddaughter's humble opinion, it is better to send her to
Go to Shuntian Mansion." Xie Wu raised her eyes and looked at the old lady with a smile.
The old lady's eyes suddenly sank, and she suddenly looked at Xie Wu more carefully.
Yang also had a look of anxiety on his face, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Grandma Li's hand.
Xie Wu just smiled, and then said calmly, "We can't just let her go out and talk nonsense. I'll just let her go. With Master Jueyuan's orders, I understand that she can't say anything, but the second aunt
…”
The old lady's expression was shocked, and then she immediately turned around and told Nanny Zhu, "Bihen, take the two wives and send her to Shuntian Mansion immediately. Remember, shut her mouth."
"Yes." Grandma Zhu responded quickly.
Seeing this, Ms. Yang was about to speak, but she was pulled hard by Granny Li next to her.
Yang looked at Grandma Li without knowing why.
Aunt Li lowered her eyes and lowered her voice and said to her, "Madam, don't panic, Shuntian Prefecture Yin and the master have a relationship."
If not, the old lady would not have agreed to send Aunt Ma to Shuntian Mansion.
