In the morning, because he was going to see Xie Shengli, Xie Ruzhuo rarely wore a set of stable clothes. However, these beautifully made clothes were troublesome to untie. Xie Ruzhuo spent a lot of effort and just unbuttoned his clothes when he heard a noise coming from outside.
"Where's the Fourth Miss? I want to talk to her!"
Accompanying this sound was the slightly childish cry of a girl.
Xie Ruzhuo frowned, stopped untying his clothes, tied them up again, walked to the door and opened it.
There is a woman outside who looks to be less than thirty years old. She has a thin face of makeup, which makes her pretty. There was a child standing next to her, it was Xie Ruyin.
And that woman was her third uncle's concubine, Xie Ruyin's biological mother, Mrs. Liu.
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo, Ms. Liu blinked her eyes immediately and shed a few tears, "Fourth Miss, you finally came out. Look at your sister, how badly you burned her! She is a little girl. !”
"What did Aunt Liu mean? What do you mean, I burned her?" Xie Ruzhuo had learned a lot about Aunt Liu's power in her previous life. Her mouth could talk the dead into living things. Thanks to this, she was able to Evenly matched with the Lu family, the two were evenly matched, turning half of the third uncle's backyard red.
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu immediately took Xie Ruyin's hand and arm and said angrily, "You didn't cause the fever, could it be Ruyin herself? She is only ten years old, and you are a sister after all, so do you treat her like this? !”
Xie Ruzhuo frowned and was too lazy to talk to Mrs. Liu. He looked directly at Xie Ruyin and said, "Sixth sister, you know best what the situation was like at that time. How about you tell me?"
Unexpectedly, Xie Ruyin was glared at by her, and Fang stopped crying louder again. As she cried, she sobbed and said, "I don't blame it, I don't blame Fourth Sister."
What he said was ambiguous. Was it Xie Ruzhuo's fault that she was burned, or was it that she didn't blame Xie Ruzhuo for burning her
Liu naturally understood the latter meaning.
Seeing Xie Ruyin like this, the tears on Liu's face that had not dried up were instantly replaced by new tears, "Fourth Miss, I know that my Ruyin is a concubine, and you don't want to see her. But you can't bully her like this. Man! Why am I a concubine? I deserve to be inferior to others!"
Seeing this, Qianbi couldn't stand it anymore, pointed at Mrs. Liu and said, "Aunt Liu, this basin of dirty water is so strong, she comes to accuse our young lady indiscriminately. Why don't you ask your good daughter What have you done?"
Xie Ruzhuo pulled Qian Bi, motioning her to shut up, and then said, "Aunt Liu, I respect you as an elder, but you don't sound like an elder when you say this!"
"Respect? If you really respect me, you won't burn my daughter on purpose! I know that Miss Fourth, you are usually close to Sister Lu, but you can't treat me like this! Mrs. Lu is your serious aunt, and I am a concubine. . But my daughter is your serious cousin, Miss Fourth, it really chills me to do this!" Liuzhou cried while hugging Xie Ruyin, and the expression on his face became more and more miserable.
If there is anyone who doesn't understand the situation, seeing this situation, they will definitely think that Xie Ruzhuo bullied the two of them.
In fact, Xie Ruzhuo had a good reputation before, and the servants around him did think so. The smarter one had already gone directly to the old lady's yard to invite Mrs. Ji.
When Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Qiao arrived, they saw Mrs. Liu acting up and crying in the yard, her voice rising to the sky.
"Ms. Liu, what are you doing? Why are you crying and making such a fuss!" As soon as Ji entered the yard, she slammed the crested crutch in her hand on the ground and shouted angrily.
When she saw the person coming, Ms. Liu hesitated for a moment, then sobbed a few times and said, "Old lady, you have to make the decision for us two."
Ji frowned and glanced at Liu, then looked at Xie Ruzhuo and said, "Fourth girl, what's going on?"
Before Xie Ruzhuo could speak, Mrs. Liu took the lead and said, "What else could be going on? As an elder sister, Fourth Miss, not only did she not care for her sister, but she deliberately burned Ruyin. Ruyin is timid and was brought back by her nanny just now. She was trembling all the time, and I asked her several times before she told the truth. I couldn't get angry, so I brought my daughter here to seek justice!"
"I didn't ask you, why did you interrupt? There are no rules!" Ji gave Mrs. Liu a fierce look, and then saw that Xie Ruzhuo also had watermarks on her body, and then said, "Zhuo'er, is what Liu said true? Don't Afraid, grandma will make the decision for you.”
Xie Ruzhuo felt warm in his heart and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm fine."
"Of course you're fine, it's my child who's in trouble!" Mrs. Liu snorted coldly and said angrily.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mr. Lu slowly walking in from outside. She glanced at the situation in the yard, suddenly smiled, and then said, "Ms. Liu, is this how you talk to a serious lady? There are no rules! Go back to your yard, don't be embarrassed here!" "
Mr. Lu has been having a rough time these past two days. The old lady sent Liu Yun back and gave her an order to treat her. The third master was very happy, but he made Mr. Lu angry to death. At this moment, seeing Mrs. Liu, she was equally unhappy, so she immediately took up the shelf in the main room.
Mrs. Liu has never been afraid of her. When it comes to family, she and Mr. Lu are equally matched. When she heard what she said, she was like meeting an enemy's fighting cock. She perked up and said, "You say I have no rules. My feelings are being suppressed today." It’s not your Xie Rulan who got burned! Today, I’m just trying my best to get scolded by the old lady, but I also want to seek justice for my daughter!”
As she said that, she glanced at Mrs. Qiao who was watching coldly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are right here. I have to ask you a question. After all, you are Miss Fourth's stepmother. Although the child has not passed through your stomach, But after all, he is raised in your name, and this is how you discipline your child? My own son is well-behaved, smart, and loved by everyone, but you discipline this stepdaughter into a domineering and unruly young lady!"
Her words contained insinuations, not only scolding Xie Ruzhuo, but also insinuating that Mr. Qiao had bad intentions. Qiao's face suddenly turned ugly and she said, "What you said is not my fault."
Seeing these juniors talking to each other, Ji simply stopped talking. A maid had already brought out the cushioned chair and helped Ji sit down. She just watched these wives bickering.
Mrs. Liu snorted and said with a smile, "I don't dare. You are a serious wife and a sister-in-law. I am just a concubine. How dare I accuse you? I am just a mother who is strong. If I don't If you give my Ruyin an explanation, then I will be ashamed to call her aunt!"
Seeing Ms. Liu keep talking about Ruyin, Ms. Qiao had a slight headache. She glanced at Xie Ruzhuo who was standing next to the old lady, sighed and asked, "Zhuo'er, what's going on today? Tell me about it. Bar."
Before Xie Ruzhuo could say anything, Mr. Lu had already spoken first.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not talking about you. Miss Fourth is still young, so she can be forgiven even if she does something wrong. Besides, she lost her mother when she was young, so everyone has to favor her. How can you Are you scolding her?"
In a few words, Mrs. Lu not only confirmed Xie Ruzhuo's crime of scalding her sister, but also accused Mr. Qiao. If it were in the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo would definitely feel that Mr. Qiao had evil intentions because of these few words.
But now after this life, she has a much clearer understanding of people's hearts. Xie Ruzhuo immediately said, "Aunt Liu, you misunderstood. My mother just asked me about my morning situation and didn't scold me. But you said that I did something wrong, which is true. I was disrespectful to my mother earlier, so I was just ignorant. What?"
Her words immediately choked Mrs. Lu, and she began to murmur in her heart. Why did Xie Ruzhuo seem to have become semen overnight? After hearing these words, he didn't start a fight with Mr. Qiao!
She was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, but Xie Ruzhuo continued to say, "Mom, actually I am also to blame for this. In the morning, I brought tea to greet my grandfather, but Ruyin Xiao insisted on fighting with me to bring it. , I didn’t hold it tightly for a moment, so she snatched it away, and it hit the ground and got burned.”
After saying that, she looked at Madam Liu again and said calmly, "Aunt Liu, if you have time to yell with me here, why not ask your good daughter to go and apologize to her grandfather as soon as possible! She can't hold the tea but she still has to show off, and now she's burned herself Not to mention, I also smashed my grandfather’s favorite tea cup. Did you know that the blue and white porcelain tea set was made by the Tea King, and a set of utensils is worth tens of thousands of gold!"
As soon as she said these words, Liu's eyes widened immediately, she turned back to look at Xie Ruyin and said, "Is this true?"
Xie Ruyin's body shrank, and the dodge in her eyes told everything for a moment.
Mrs. Liu secretly hated her daughter for not living up to expectations, but she said, "You are the elder sister, and you are so many years older than her. If you had taken care of yourself, you wouldn't have let her go! Ru Yin is now burned. It's like this, it's still so serious after taking the medicine!" As she said this, she rolled up Xie Ruyin's sleeves and showed it to everyone.
However, Mrs. Qiao's sharp eyes saw Xie Ruzhuo bit his lip as he spoke, as if he was enduring some pain.
Her heart moved, and she immediately walked over and pulled up Xie Ruzhuo's sleeves. She immediately saw red marks and small burned bubbles on her arms.
Xie Ruzhuo was not only burned, but even more seriously!
"Qianbi, get the medicine quickly!"
Hearing Qiao's anxious voice, everyone immediately looked around and clearly saw the burn marks on Xie Ruzhuo's arm.
Ji stood up and said nervously, "Zhuo'er, what's going on on your arm?" Xie Ruyin was indeed burned on her arm, but it was just a small patch of red, but her daughter's family was delicate, so Mrs. Liu felt distressed. .
But things are different here with Xie Ruzhuo. Even if there are such big marks on the man's body, it's heart-wrenching to see!
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo raised a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, grandma, it was just when the tea was being stirred up just now. I was afraid of hurting Ruyin, so I turned my hand to my side. It was just a minor injury. It will be removed after a few days." It’ll be fine every day.”
"It's okay. You are a daughter. This body is the most delicate. How can you be permed like this! Bizhi, what are you doing? Go and ask the female doctor to come over!" Mrs. Qiao carefully lifted Xie Ruzhuo's sleeves. He held it up and said to Bizhi worriedly.
Seeing Bizhi hurried out, Mrs. Ji pointed at Mrs. Liu angrily and said, "Mrs. Liu, you are so sorry! Your daughter's troubles were all borne by her sister, and you are still making a fuss here! You She’s not a girl from a small family, and she’s been eating at the Xie family for so many years, so why doesn’t she have some brains?”
Mrs. Liu's heart started beating as soon as she saw that Xie Ruzhuo was also injured. She was not stupid, and she knew at that time that she had made a miscalculation. Now when I heard Ji scolding me mercilessly, her face looked ugly, but she still had to smile and said, "Mom, don't be angry, it's all my fault. Ruyin is hurt, and I feel bad for her."
"You feel sorry for your daughter, but don't you feel sorry for your niece! Why are you still standing in front of me? Go back to your yard and don't let me see you!" Ji slammed her cane on the ground. He pointed at Mrs. Liu with a trembling hand.
