"Well, the snacks are delicious!"
While the two were talking, Xie Ruzhuo pinched a snack and stuffed it into his mouth, speaking vaguely, which also interrupted Xie Ruzhuo's anger.
Seeing her greedy look, Xie Ruyue couldn't help but laugh angrily. He lightly tapped her on the head and said, "Slow down, no one will fight with you!"
On the second day, Hong Rui consciously took Qing Tao's place and came to help Xie Ruzhuo wash and dress. Xie Ruzhuo was used to Qianbi, so he sent Hongrui to the kitchen and brought over the fried medicine.
Xie Ruzhuo's injury has improved a lot thanks to the precious medicinal materials in the palace. In addition, after meeting these relatives, she felt a lot more relaxed. The depression of the past few days was gone, and her face became much rosier. At this time, when I spoke, I felt much more energetic.
Upon hearing this, Hongrui responded, then turned around and went to the kitchen.
Tingfeng Courtyard is the best small courtyard in Xie's mansion besides the old lady's courtyard. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit far from the kitchen. Xie Ruzhuo used to make his own food in the small kitchen, but this time after returning from the palace, he changed his temper for some reason and ate the same food as the kitchen had provided that day.
It took about a quarter of an hour to walk through flowers and willows before we arrived at the kitchen. After putting the fried concoction into a small white porcelain jar, Hongrui carefully put other food in the food box, then left the kitchen and prepared to go back to Tingfeng Courtyard.
It was just a coincidence that on the way back to the yard, I met an enemy on a narrow road.
After Xie Ruzhuo finished washing, he waited for a while but didn't see Hongrui come back. Before she could speak, she heard Qianbi laughing from the side, "This girl Hongrui, why are you so lazy on your first day on the job? Don't worry, miss, I'll go check on her."
With that said, Qianbi was about to go out. But unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the carved wooden door, he saw a boy running in hastily from outside. When he saw Hongrui, he gasped, "Sister Qianbi, it's not good!"
Hearing this, Qian Bi scolded lightly, "What you are doing with your bashing and hooting this morning is unruly. Let me ask you, what happened?"
The boy took a breath and said, "Hongrui, Hongrui was beaten!"
"What?" Qianbi was stunned and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?"
The boy stumbled and finally explained the matter clearly.
It turns out that when Hong Rui came back, she met her concubine Fu Qian'er halfway. I don't know whether they did it intentionally or not. In short, Hong Rui accidentally bumped into Fu Qian'er. What a good time, Fu Qian'er scolded her head and shoulders, and even asked her maids and grandmothers to slap red pistils!
After hearing this, Qian Bi frowned tightly, looked inside again, gritted her teeth and said, "I'll go take a look with you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Ruzhuo walked out of the room and said, "I'll go."
Qian Bi was stunned, and immediately held her hand and said, "Miss, you are not well yet, so I'd better go take a look. I guess Aunt Fu is not that bold and dares to really hit the people in Tingfeng Yuan. I Just go scare her and bring Hong Rui back."
Xie Ruzhuo gave a cold smile, but the meaning was unclear, "I'm afraid she's getting timid. Let's go."
Before they reached the West Lake Pavilion, they saw from a distance that Hong Rui was restrained by two nuns, and another nun with a bamboo stick on her hand slapped Hong Rui hard on the face.
Hong Rui's mouth was blocked and she was beaten with such force. She only let out a scream. The sound was not loud, but it made people's hearts tremble.
Xie Ruzhuo's expression turned cold, and he immediately took three steps and two steps at a time, stepped forward, and said, "Fu Qian'er, let go of my maid!"
Xie Ruzhuo was well-known for being unruly in the house. When Fu Qianer saw her coming, she looked a little flustered. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Xie Ruzhuo snatching the bamboo stick from the hand of the correctional mammy and slapping her with her backhand. On the face of the mama, she said with hatred, "How dare you, an old guy like you, touch my maid?!"
She was injured, but her strength was not great, but the bamboo joint could amplify her strength countless times, and the crisp sound was like a slap in the face to Aunt Fu.
Fu Qian'er's face suddenly darkened, she snorted and said, "Miss Fourth, you have such a big temper, don't you do anything without asking for everything?"
"I should ask Aunt Fu about this!" Xie Ruzhuo let go of Qianbi's hand and told her to hold on to Hongrui, then turned around and continued, "Even if my maid made a mistake, it should be I'll teach you a lesson, when will it be your turn to intervene!"
"Then you have to ask your maid what she did!" Fu Qian'er felt guilty, but when she thought of Hong Rui's words just now, she suddenly became angry again and said, "A maid dares to rush into the master and say something like that , I deserved to hit her!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo let out a "poof" and said, "Master? Fu Qian'er, you take yourself too seriously. If I call you aunt, do you really take yourself as your master? To put it bluntly, you are You are a married girl, my father is kind-hearted and will give you a status, but in my heart, you are not as clean as my Hong Rui!"
These words hit Fu Qian'er's pain point. She was originally Xie Shenyan's personal maid, but later Xie Shenyan touched him while drunk, and then she was made a common roommate. Later, after Jiang Muyan came in, he thought of her early service and promoted her to be his aunt, but in private, who didn't know her background? It was better before, but now that she is older, Xie Shenyan rarely enters her room, and everyone looks down upon her.
Now when she heard Xie Ruzhuo's words, Fu Qian'er was immediately furious and said, "Who are you talking about?! Xie Ruzhuo, what do you think you are so great about? I tell you, in the future you will be the daughter of the Xie family who gets married, and you will still be a dead relative." Damn it! Why are you showing off your power here? Humph, besides, you said this time to protect the prince from injury at best, but at worst, why were you by his side when the prince was injured? Who knew you were doing it behind his back? What's the dirty thing?"
As soon as she said these words, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes suddenly darkened, he stared at her with eyes as cold as water, and said coldly, "Fu Qian'er, if you have the ability, you can say it again!"
The two were originally not far from the lake. Now they advanced and retreated and arrived at the lake.
Fu Qian'er felt a little guilty due to her look in her eyes. She subconsciously turned around, but saw that the lake was not even an inch away from her, so she immediately came up with a poisonous plan!
She forced herself to meet Xie Ruzhuo's gaze and said, "Just say it, Xie Ruzhuo, aren't you very attentive to men? Otherwise, how could you have the favor of the third prince while seducing the second prince?"
Fu Qian'er's words really angered Xie Ruzhuo. She immediately raised her hand and hit Fu Qian'er!
Unexpectedly, Fu Qian'er was already prepared. When she reached out her hand, she immediately tripped Xie Ruzhuo with her foot.
The servants were more than ten steps away from them. Seeing that the two were getting closer, they quickly wanted to step forward, but saw Xie Ruzhuo's body tilted and he fell straight into the water!
The sneer on Fu Qian'er's lips suddenly froze before she could raise it. Because the next moment, she felt her clothes tighten and she was also pulled into the water!
Only after hearing the sound of "plop" falling into the water one after another, the servants suddenly understood what happened. On the West Lake Pavilion, a pot of porridge suddenly became chaotic.
Qianbi looked at Xie Ruzhuo falling into the water, and was shocked and angry for a moment. She let go of Hongrui's hand, staggered to the water's edge, and shouted, "Miss!"
The autumn wind is cold and cool, and the temperature in the water in the morning is even colder and biting. Before Fu Qian'er could flutter in the water, she saw Xie Ruzhuo's ferocious look magnified in front of her, "Fu Qian'er, take your child with you to hell!"
The water in the lake was extremely cold, but Fu Qian'er felt that her heart was a bit colder than the water! Xie Ruzhuo just said, child? How did she know she was pregnant! Fu Qian'er was indeed pregnant, but the doctor said that the baby's fetus was unstable and there were signs of miscarriage, so she deliberately concealed it. But how could Xie Ruzhuo know that!
For a moment, her mind felt blank, and she even forgot about her struggle. And Xie Ruzhuo also let go of her hand at this time. The cold water touched her skin, causing the wounds that had healed to feel painful again. Under the severe pain, Xie Ruzhuo felt that his consciousness became increasingly blurred and finally disappeared.
Fu Qian'er also reacted at this time, but she choked on her saliva and struggled weakly, "Help..."
The first person to be alarmed by the noise at the West Lake Pavilion was the old lady Ji from Zizhuyuan.
After hearing the news that her granddaughter fell into the water, she immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and hurried towards the West Lake Pavilion.
Fu Qian'er was close to the lake and had been fished out long ago and sent to her courtyard. But Xie Ruzhuo had just been helped up, and her wounds had already burst open when she was in the water. In addition to the dripping water on her moon-white coat, there were shocking large pools of red blood.
When the old lady arrived, she saw her with a pale face being carried by her grandma on her back to Tingfeng Courtyard.
The old lady took a few steps forward and ordered hurriedly, "Can Zhuo'er bear such a long distance? Send him to Zizhuyuan quickly!" After saying that, he asked urgently, "Have you invited the doctor?" Please come to my yard with him!"
Within a moment, Xie Ruzhuo was put in place. Qiao, who hurried over, saw the chaos in the house, and her heart suddenly tightened. She had roughly heard what happened on the way here. When she saw the anger on the old lady's face, she didn't care about anything else. She said hello, then looked at Qianbi and Hongrui who were kneeling beside them, and said in a deep voice, " Qianbi, what happened? The fourth lady is fine, how could she fall into the water!"
Qianbi had just narrated the whole story to the old lady. At this moment, she heard Mr. Qiao ask a question and repeated the story again. Finally, she said, "I can't see clearly from a distance. In a daze, Aunt Fu tripped the young lady with her foot, and then They both fell into the water."
Before Mr. Qiao could speak, the old lady listened and said, "Is this how you run the family? I don't care about the family affairs. That's my trust in you! But now, a little concubine dares to rebel and attack the master. Got it!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Qiao only smiled and said, "Don't be angry, mother. I will definitely find out about this matter and give Zhuo'er justice." She also knew that Xie Ruzhuo had a bad temper, and Fu Qian'er was also a rude person. Now, When two people are in such trouble, I'm afraid both sides are at fault. It's just that one is a girl and the other is a concubine, but Qiao still knows the importance of it.
The old lady glanced at her and said, "No need, I have already dealt with this matter. That Fu Qian'er went too far! Although it was her own fault that she fell into the water, my Xie family is not ruthless. Let's ground her first and wait for her After she wakes up, send someone to take her to the ancestral hall to be locked up!"
