Mrs. Qiao only felt that one head and two were as big as each other, and she said in a cold voice, "When Zhuo'er was kidnapped by the robbers earlier, Yin'er was still staying well in the room. Who would have thought that as soon as Zhuo'er was found, the maid would Come report that Miss Six is missing. I also want to know why your daughter is missing when she is protected by servants all around, the robbers have not come again, and everyone else is unscathed!"
Hearing Ms. Qiao say this, Ms. Liu immediately wiped away her tears and pointed at her and said, "You really know how to confuse right and wrong. My Yin'er is a thirteen-year-old girl. Could it be possible that she ran out on her own? Humph, I It seems that you have seen it, you just think that my Yin'er is a concubine, so you bully her in every possible way!"
At the end of the sentence, Mrs. Liu's tears became even more joyful.
She was so unreasonable and troublesome that she had already attracted servants from other courtyards. Originally, only a few female relatives went up to the mountain to worship their ancestors, and most of the servants at home did not know the truth. At this time, when I heard Mrs. Liu's words, I felt that Mrs. Qiao had gone too far.
Mrs. Qiao was a little annoyed, but she had to be patient and said, "I have sent people to look for her. I believe they will be able to get back the message soon." After saying that, she became a little angry again and said, "Yin'er is lost, you come here I don’t blame you for the trouble here. It’s just that these two girls, Parsley and Herb, can’t escape the blame. Two big men can’t stand a little girl, so what’s the use of having her!”
After hearing this, Parsley immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, the young lady was originally in the house, but then the slaves were knocked unconscious. When they woke up, they found that the young lady was gone. , the slaves are also in disbelief."
They were indeed knocked unconscious last night, otherwise they wouldn't have told Jin Yu until dawn.
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao also became a little suspicious. She didn't ask in detail at first, but now she felt there was something fishy.
Mrs. Liu immediately started to make a fuss and cried, "My poor Yin'er, I should have known that mother would not let you follow the ancestor worship even if she said anything. A concubine should stick to her duty. If you don’t like it, no one will take care of it now, but in the end it will harm yourself!”
Just when Mrs. Liu was making trouble, she suddenly saw a boy running in from outside the door. Seeing so many people in the yard, he shrank first and then said hesitantly, "Madam, Miss Six is back."
Hearing the news that Xie Ruyin was back, Mrs. Liu immediately got up from the ground, ran to the boy in a few steps, and asked nervously, "Where is Yin'er?"
The waiter said with some difficulty, "Miss Sixth is in the front hall, but she was sent back by a group of men!"
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu's face changed instantly, and she stumbled towards the main hall like a lightning strike.
Mrs. Qiao was also stunned for a moment, and she asked carefully, "Do you know who sent her back?"
The boy said, "It was said that he was from Prince Duan's Mansion and met Miss Xie by chance, so he sent her back."
Qiao became more and more suspicious, but she just suppressed it and said, "I'll go take a look."
Mrs. Liu ran all the way to the front hall and saw Xie Ruyin staring at the door with some anxiety. She was so busy that she ran forward, hugged Xie Ruyin in her arms, screamed heartily for a long time, then looked her up and down, and asked distressedly, "Good boy, are you okay? I'm worried about you! "
With that said, she didn't wait for Xie Ruyin to speak, pointed at the few men standing in the room and asked, "Who are they?" She originally wanted to curse when she entered the room, but then she saw that these men were dressed in servant attire. , the clothes were expensive, and he was probably from a wealthy family, so he refrained from taking action.
Seeing this, Xie Ruyin was so busy that she pulled her arm and said with a shy smile, "I met a thief last night, and I happened to meet His Highness Prince Duan. After he rescued me, he waited until dawn and sent me back."
Hearing this, the tension on Liu's face instantly turned into joy. She didn't expect that her daughter would actually climb into Prince Duan on such a New Year's Eve! You know, that is the first prince in this dynasty to be crowned king.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Liu gathered up her skirt, pretended to be dignified and saluted, "Thank you all for sending my daughter back."
The leader knew how to be polite, so he waved his hand and said, "Madam, you're welcome. The prince said that we must send Miss Xie back alive."
When Qiao came in, she happened to hear these words. She frowned at first, and then said with a smile, "I wonder where they saved the sixth lady of the Xie family last night?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I was not present at the time, so I didn't know the details. However, I later heard that thieves were involved in the Xie Family Ancestral Hall. I guess the lady was also lost at that time, right?"
He really didn't know that last night he took the lead in searching for Xie Ruzhuo and his wife in the valley.
Mrs. Qiao nodded and said, "It turns out that my sixth lady was saved last night, so I'd like to thank Prince Duan. But since we were rescued last night, why didn't we send her back at that time? Instead, we had to wait until today."
The man's expression flickered and he said, "This -"
"Auntie, why are you asking these questions? Are you doubting Yin'er? I was frightened last night and I really didn't have the strength, so I took a rest at Prince Duan's place. Is there anything wrong?"
Xie Ruyin was the first to talk back, with a confident look on her face. Now that she was with Prince Duan, she no longer had to be afraid of Mrs. Qiao. Then Xie Ruyue is still the legitimate daughter, but she only married a prince, which is a big difference compared to her!
Hearing what Xie Ruyin said, Ms. Liu also looked protective, "That's right, Yin'er has just come back, and these heroes are credited with saving Yin'er. You are questioning her like you are interrogating a prisoner. Don't lose it." The identity of the Xie family!”
Seeing that the two of them were talking too much, Mrs. Qiao became more and more suspicious of Xie Ruyin. She just said calmly, "You have to ask what you need to ask." After saying that, he looked at Bizhi again and said, "Giving a reward of silver will make people happy." Send it out."
She still remembers Duan Wang teasing Xie Ruzhuo last year. That was not a good thing!
Seeing Mrs. Qiao leaving in an extremely cold manner, Mrs. Liu first sneered disdainfully, then put on a flattering face and said, "When you get back, remember to thank Prince Duan on your behalf."
The people who came nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Liu ordered someone to send these people away before pulling Xie Ruyin back to her yard in a hurry.
As soon as she entered the door, she dismissed all the servants, closed the door firmly, and asked in a low voice, "Yin'er, tell mother honestly what is going on, and His Highness Duan Wang, who are you two?" relation?"
Liu's words were filled with excitement and nervousness that could not be concealed, and she was afraid that what Xie Ruyin said would disappoint her.
Xie Ruyin did not hide it, she just smiled shyly and said, "Mom, Prince Duan and I are sincere. Prince Duan said that when he succeeds in his affairs, he will marry me!"
"What happened?" Mrs. Liu asked with some confusion. Could it be that Xie Ruyin and Prince Duan made some kind of shady agreement
However, Xie Ruyin's next words comforted her heart, "Prince Duan said that the second prince always wanted to harm him. If Prince Duan's position was not secure, he would be afraid of marrying me. Fortunately, I am still young. When his affairs are settled and I grow up, we can be together."
Hearing Xie Ruyin's words, Mrs. Liu's face was instantly filled with joy. So, Prince Duan still cares about Xie Ruyin!
Liu's mother and daughter had a good plan here, and Xie Ruzhuo had also made up his mind.
Seeing her getting up to go out, Hongrui immediately stopped her and said, "Miss, you are not well yet. If you have anything to do, just ask the slave to do it."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled and said, "You can't do this. I'm going to find grandpa. You can't do it for me."
When Xie Ruzhuo arrived at Ning Xi Hall, when he saw Xie Shengli, he knelt down and said, "Grandpa, my granddaughter has something to tell you."
Xie Shengli already knew that she was kidnapped and injured last night, and was worried in his heart. Seeing her like this, he was so busy that he walked over and helped her up personally, saying, "Good boy, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, just say it. "
Xie Ruzhuo looked solemn and looked at the people around him. Xie Shengli understood and immediately screened everyone away. When only the grandfather and grandson were left in the room, he said, "But what happened?"
"My granddaughter came here today to tell you something. The second prince was responsible for my kidnapping last night. He wanted to take the opportunity to destroy my innocence and force me to marry him. But this matter was leaked. After hearing the news, the fifth prince also went to Fengming Mountain and planted assassins among the second prince's troops to kill both of us. This is the truth behind the injury of our granddaughter."
Xie Ruzhuo finished speaking in one breath, and Xie Shengli's face was already filled with anger.
"Hmph, what a Xiao Junhan, what a Xiao Junyi! The Tianhuang noble, who should be the most noble person, is so dirty and dirty, it's so chilling!"
Lesson plan Xie Shengli was so angry, Xie Ruzhuo thought about it for a while, and then said, "This matter can be settled. After all, I was just a fish in the pond last night and was affected. But what really worries me is that Liu Mei had a secret meeting last night. Wang, I was caught red-handed. The target of that group of people last night was me. Logically speaking, they would not harm Liu Mei. Later, Liu Mei disappeared under the protection of her family. And today she was sent away by King Duan. He came back and said he was rescued by chance."
She originally thought that if Xie Ruyin could correct her mistakes and correct them, it would be okay to hide this matter, but these successive things told Xie Ruzhuo that Xie Ruyin was not very young, but she was very courageous! Based on Xie Ruyin's brain, it was absolutely impossible to cooperate with Xiao Junyi, so there was only one possibility, that is, the girl was used as a weapon.
But no matter what, behind Xie Ruyin is the Xie family. You can do it yourself, but you can't drag the family into trouble!
After Xie Ruzhuo finished speaking, Xie Shengli became furious and shouted, "Lin Mu, bring Miss Six here!"
Lin Mu hurried in from outside. Seeing the anger on Xie Shengli's face, he immediately responded, "Yes, I'll go right away."
Xie Ruzhuo saw that he was so angry and did not comfort him. Although Xie Shengli was old, he was not confused. He could definitely think of things that he could think of.
Not long after, Xie Ruyin was brought in, followed by a frightened Liu.
When Xie Ruzhuo was there, Xie Ruyin's heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be calm and walked in. She said in a pretty girlish voice, "Granddaughter, please pay your respects to grandpa."
"Kneel down!"
Xie Shengli gave a powerful shout, which immediately made Xie Ruyin and her daughter tremble, and they knelt down.
Mrs. Liu was braver after all. She raised her head and asked hesitantly, "Old Master, what mistake did this girl make that made you so angry?"
Xie Shengli snorted and said, "Shut up, you have no place to speak here! Xie Ruyin, let me ask you, what did you do last night!"
