As soon as she said this, Mrs. Di's face stiffened and she looked embarrassed. She had forgotten that she was not Qin Wanru's biological mother. Qin Wanru already knew it!
"Mother, as soon as you walked in, you listened to this maid and immediately put all the blame on me. You didn't even see this maid and deliberately attracted people in the yard to watch the fun, just for the sake of it. If you let me make a fool of myself, my status in this courtyard may not be as powerful as that of a maid, wouldn't mother find it strange?"
While Di was stunned, Qin Wanru raised her eyes and continued.
"How do I know that you are so unruly about the servants in your yard?" Di Shi became flustered by the rhetorical question and said angrily.
"Mom is in charge of the backyard, so you don't know anything about the things in my yard?" Qin Wanru's watery eyes fell calmly on Di's face, showing no unexpected calmness.
It seems that this is a normal thing.
Such a young child stood in the crowd and looked calmly at Di, who was a head taller than her. The servants around her were whispering, and almost none of them was kind to her.
This is the yard of the purdah girl, but now it looks like a vegetable market, and it is also a messy vegetable market. But Di, who has been in charge of the backyard, said she didn't know.
Qin Huaiyong suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was dazzling, so dazzling that he couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at the boy he had brought with him. The boy coughed loudly and said sternly: "The general is here!"
With just one word, people gathered around the door in fright, and the maids and women at the window hurriedly retreated to both sides. Everyone was immediately silent, and there was no more noise.
Qin Huaiyong's eyes turned on these maids and women, and he strode into the house with his hands behind his back.
Mrs. Di felt bad in the house. She didn't expect that when she was cleaning up Qin Wanru, Qin Huaiyong actually came. She turned to look at Aunt Zhou beside her, who gave her a calming look.
"General!" Di Shi calmed down and hurriedly stepped forward to accompany him with a smile.
Qin Huaiyong didn't even look at her, his eyes fell on Qing Cui who was still kneeling on the ground. He had been standing outside the door for a while and had heard some general things.
This maid is the main cause of the incident. Qin Huaiyong has never cared about the maid in his daughter's body. In the past, he would not pay attention to it, but now he looked up and his heart was filled with anger. This The maid's dress is much more gorgeous than the other maids.
Not only did the material of her clothes look much more gorgeous, she also had earrings hanging on her ears, giving her an enchanting look. There was such a enchanting maid next to a young lady from an aristocratic family, which made others laugh. How do you think about your daughter? If the maid is like this, how can the young lady be any better!
"Is this the maid who was beaten and attracted the whole courtyard to look at her?" Qin Huaiyong said coldly.
Qin Wanru also came over to salute Qin Huaiyong at this time. After listening to the question, he nodded, pointed to a letter that fell on the ground over there, and said calmly: "Father, she is the maid who made trouble just now, and she is also the maid who caused trouble just now." I picked up a letter from somewhere, and without saying a word, I said it was written by me, and I also insisted that there was no other master nearby, so I decided that this letter must be mine!"
"Bring it over!" Qin Huaiyong's eyes fell on Di.
Di was nervous all over, but she resisted the slightest bit of strangeness on her face. The final destination of this letter was indeed to be sent to Qin Huaiyong, but it was definitely not at this time.
But she didn't dare to say anything to stop it at this time, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened even more!
The boy went over and picked up the letter. Qin Huaiyong reached out and took it. It was a sealed letter. On the cover, there were only the words "Di Shizi accept" on the cover, and nothing else.
The writing was very ordinary, and I couldn't tell who wrote it, but the writing was a bit weaker, so it should be a woman's handwriting.
The owner of this inner courtyard, who can call Prince Di like this, cannot be the Di family. Unlike Qin Yuru, his mother is ill in bed and cannot write anything, so it seems that he is not close to the Di family. Qin Wanru wrote it.
On the surface it looks very similar!
"Is this because you listened to the maid's words and decided that this was a letter written by Wan Ru?" Qin Huaiyong raised his eyes coldly and looked at Di Shi with unknown meaning.
"General... this, what this maid said..." Di stuttered for a moment, losing the momentum that she had just insisted on Qin Wanru!
"This maid is your biological daughter? Are you defending her like this?" Qin Huaiyong looked at Di with cold eyes and scolded.
"I... General, why are you talking about me like that? I'm just dealing with something, right? It's just that I haven't dealt with it yet. It's like you're blaming me again for the chaos!" Di covered her face with a handkerchief, feeling aggrieved. stand up.
"Who placed this maid next to Wanru?" Qin Huaiyong asked.
Di was startled and said hurriedly: "This... this is Wan Rui's choice. He has been serving her for more than a year."
"I have been serving her for more than a year, and I have turned a maid into a young lady. Look at what she is wearing. I am afraid that standing next to Wanru, others may think that Wanru is her little maid!" Qin Huaiyong's eyes fell. As for Qin Wanru, the petite Qin Wanru only wore jade-white clothes. Although she looked very good in those clothes, they looked too plain.
Compared to this maid who was dressed so enchantingly, her master really looked like a little maid.
"But... But she chose the maid herself." Di Shishi shirks her responsibility. Of course she won't say that she asked Aunt Fang to trick Qin Wanru into choosing the maid. At that time, Qin Wanru was only nine years old, so it was easier to coax her. .
"How old was she then?" Qin Huaiyong frowned.
Di Shi couldn't answer this question any longer. She twisted her handkerchief fiercely and gritted her teeth secretly. If the general hadn't seen this scene today, the general would have refused in front of all the servants. One's own feelings.
"She is already good at choosing people at such a young age? I remember that the old woman who was beaten to death was still one of yours, right? Your people were in charge of Wanru's yard, but in the end, she let a maid take over. And no one in this whole courtyard seems to be the master, and they are actually watching the fun and gossiping about the master at the same time. Isn’t this the same person who is chosen by himself? "
Qin Huaiyong mocked.
Things happened one after another. How could he not see that Di had no mother-daughter affection for Qin Wanru at all, and she didn't even care about Qin Wanru's affairs at all.
The previous claim that he regarded Qin Wanru as his own was just a lie to himself.
He has no other children, just two daughters. Even though Qin Wanru is not his biological daughter, he regards her as his biological daughter. After raising her for several years, he has developed feelings for her, especially when he thinks of the day he was killed by that daughter. The scene when I was saved by someone made me feel that I had failed my old friend.
"General, this... I don't know much about these things!" As soon as Di Shi heard Qin Huaiyong's words, she knew something was wrong and hurriedly said.
"You, a mistress who manages the inner courtyard, don't know about this. Then why do you care about the inner courtyard?" Qin Huaiyong said mercilessly.
"General, I... I really don't know. Aunt Fang told me that she has always been very good to me. She said that everyone in this yard respects Wanru very much."
Di Shi shed tears and shirked her responsibility with a look of grievance. Anyway, Grandma Fang is gone, so it doesn't matter what she says! .
"Does mother know now?" Qin Wanru had no intention of letting Di go. "I wonder if mother can take some time to help take care of this matter?"
The look on Di's face stiffened, and she looked at the sullen Qin Huaiyong with reluctance, and had to say reluctantly: "Don't worry, mother will have all the disobedient servants in your yard replaced in a moment." Now, you can pick some more, and this time you must pick some servants who are well-behaved and talkative."
"Don't worry, mother. Without Aunt Fang, I will definitely choose servants who are honest and respect me this time." Qin Wanru raised her eyebrows and said.
This obviously means that in the past, it was Aunt Fang who induced her to choose servants who did not understand the rules. Aunt Fang was from the Di family, and Qin Huaiyong knew it.
Upon hearing Qin Wanru's words, Di's face turned dark, but she did not dare to get angry. She knew that she had fallen into Qin Wanru's trap, otherwise such a coincidence would not have happened. She gritted her teeth secretly, but her face But he showed a loving expression: "If you can be so sensible, my mother will feel relieved!"
"Mother, sell this maid!" Qin Wanru ignored her "kindness" and looked calmly at Qing Cui, "I can't afford such a maid!"
"Madam, save this slave, madam, save this slave!" Qingcui saw Qin Huaiyong's eyes also turning to her, her face changed in panic, and she crawled over to Di's side while crying. She also knew that something bad was going on. , the words are a bit leaky!
Aunt Zhou took a step forward, stopped in front of Mrs. Di, and sternly scolded: "You yourself have offended the Second Miss. Now it is the Second Miss who should beg for help. Our wife has always loved the Second Miss. Everything is based on the Second Miss." ideas are the most important thing.”
There was a strong hint in these words. Qing Cui understood it immediately. She turned around and rushed towards Qin Wanru, hugging one of her legs pleadingly: "Second Miss, I really just picked up a letter. I think that the only person in this mansion who can address Prince Di like this is the second lady. Second lady, I really didn’t mean it. I beg you, second lady, not to sell me. From now on, I can be a cow or a horse."
After saying that, I burst into tears, as if sincerely. After saying that, I even took a step back, let go of my hand, and knocked my head heavily on the ground three times. A large piece of swelling immediately appeared on my white and tender forehead, "Please, Miss, don't If the slave is sold to that kind of place, the slave is also the daughter of an innocent white man's family. If the second lady really sells the slave to that kind of place, the slave will have no choice but to die!"
Seeing how heartbroken she was, the maids and mothers-in-law outside looked at her secretly with pity on their faces, and they all felt that Qin Wanru's heart was too cruel.
As expected, she was indeed the most capable person under the Di family. A word from Grandma Zhou immediately made her have many meanings, and even made people feel that she was cruel and ruthless. This was because she planned to make her father hate her from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you think I am the only one who would write such a title?" Qin Wanru said coldly.
"Yes, I made a mistake, I made a mistake! Second Miss, please spare me!" Qingcui cried loudly, "Second Miss, when I picked up the letter, I immediately brought it to the Miss and took it for granted. The miss’s lost letter is all my fault, and I really don’t know anything!”
While she was crying, she peeked at Nanny Zhou's face. After seeing a hint of smile on Nanny Zhou's face, she relaxed and paid for herself in front of the general. Even if the second lady didn't believe it, it was impossible for her to really Whatever she did to her, she must have good intentions, and she immediately felt proud. However, Qin Wanru's next words made her so frightened that her lips immediately turned pale.
"Qingcui, I remember you are illiterate. How do you know that the words on this letter are addressed to Prince Di?"
