Seeing how calm she was, everyone present was a little surprised. Lu's eyes flashed with viciousness. She usually couldn't stand Xie Ruzhuo. Why should such a brainless woman be a head taller than her daughter in everything? Now that such a scandal has happened, let’s see how arrogant she will be in the future!
After thinking about it, Mrs. Lu immediately smiled and comforted her, "Zhuo'er, you just scared Auntie. If you don't want to admit it, just silence these two servants. Our Xie family doesn't know how to control it." Even if you are under coercion, these things can still be dealt with."
Before Xie Ruzhuo could speak, Mrs. Qiao said first, "The third brother and sister are so anxious to conclude the matter. Is it possible that you are the mastermind behind this?"
After all, her daughter was raised in her own name. If she didn't protect her, she would be slapped in the face of the head mother of the house!
"You're such a mouthful! Zhuo'er and I are the closest. If you say this, aren't you trying to sow discord between the two of us?" Madam Lu became angry and pointed at Mrs. Qiao, wanting to make a fuss, but she was choked by Qiao's words. Went back.
"How often do you do so many things to sow discord? Do you want to count them in front of my mother?"
Qiao has a kind heart, but that doesn't mean she has no means. After being immersed in this backyard for too long, she knew everything she should know and what she shouldn't know.
Lu felt guilty and endured the abuse she wanted to say.
Ji watched the confrontation between the two people with cold eyes and said after a long time, "In front of outsiders like this, don't you know how to write about etiquette, justice and integrity?"
This sentence completely silenced Mr. Lu. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand bitterly, and there was a trace of hatred in her lowered eyes. Normally, Mrs. Qiao always put pressure on herself, but she remembered this account!
Not long after, the maid brought two boxes. Xie Ruzhuo opened them one by one, first took out one embroidered handkerchief and said, "Grandma, please see the difference between these two handkerchiefs."
Ji took it as instructed and saw the difference at a glance, "Although the two handkerchiefs seem to have the same pattern, they actually use different embroidery methods. The first one is embroidered very skillfully, and the second one is embroidered very skillfully. The second one is a bit unfamiliar, as if I haven’t embroidered for a long time or I am a beginner.”
Xie Ruzhuo nodded and said, "Yes, grandma, my granddaughter is here to show off her ugliness. In fact, I am not proficient in embroidery. Such a simple bluegrass pattern was the work of me for half a month. Wouldn’t it take two years to embroider the mandarin duck? But this servant said that it was a gift from me personally. That’s strange. Could it be that my craftsmanship two years ago was better than it is now?”
When Li Ding heard this, he immediately said, "Then maybe you asked the maid to do the embroidery. Zhuo'er, are you denying our relationship now?" When he spoke, there was almost paranoid pain in his eyes. If People who don't know, really think that he is deeply affectionate.
But Xie Ruzhuo noticed with sharp eyes that when the man was talking, he was looking at the void behind him and not looking at himself! If a person dares not look into his own eyes during a confrontation, that means one thing: he is lying!
Qianbi on the side couldn't help it immediately, and immediately pointed at his nose and cursed, "Bah, just you, you still want to eat swan meat like a toad! I have always been by the young lady's side since she was a child, and she came into contact with her I know who she is, who do you think you are, how dare you slander her!"
Xie Ruzhuo signaled Qianbi to be calm, then took out a calligraphy he had written the day before and ordered Jiangzhu to unfold it.
After the word was unfolded, someone immediately took a breath.
Xiao Junhan's eyes were full of ecstasy. He had long known that Xie Ruzhuo liked him, but he never expected that she would like him to this extent! Looking at the writing, it is clearly a copy of him. How deep of obsession does it take to do this
But Xiao Junxi's heart was cold in an instant. He held the hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, suppressing his emotions. Although he knew that the woman in front of him had always been his love, Xiao Junxi still couldn't bear it when the woman's most secret thoughts were revealed in public.
Everyone had different expressions, but Ji said hesitantly, "Zhuo'er, this doesn't look like your handwriting."
Xie Ruzhuo smiled slightly, with a hint of coquettishness, "Grandma, it was three years ago that I accompanied you to copy Buddhist books in the Buddhist hall. As the saying goes, you should treat each other with admiration even after seeing each other for three days. Let alone three years. So there should be a gap in the fonts."
But some people just realize it later and think, "Hey, why do I feel that this word looks a bit like my second brother's handwriting?"
The person who spoke was Xiao Xinning. As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly covered her mouth and said vaguely, "Well, that, I just said it nonsense!"
When her daughter's petty thoughts were revealed, Mrs. Lu immediately felt contempt and said, "It turns out that our Zhuo'er likes someone else." She spoke in a joking tone, but her eyes were deceiving. Inhumane.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't even bother to answer the question. He just opened his black and white eyes and asked doubtfully, "Hey, does the second prince also like Lu Liusheng?"
As she said that, she looked at Ji's puzzled eyes again and smiled sheepishly, "Zhuo'er saw a piece of calligraphy in his grandfather's study before. It was the wild calligraphy of Lu Liusheng, a famous figure in the former dynasty. The calligraphy was extraordinary. He is domineering by nature, and my granddaughter fell in love with him right away. After he came back, he practiced hard for a long time, but he was still a little immature, and he only learned the superficial aspects of Lu Liusheng, but not the essence."
As soon as she said these words, everyone present immediately looked at them carefully again, and only then could they see the difference. Xie Ruzhuo's calligraphy is indeed majestic and majestic. At first glance, it is indeed somewhat similar to Lu Liusheng's calligraphy, but if you look closely, you can see that she is uniquely graceful and belongs to her daughter's family.
Xiao Junhan had just thought about what he was going to say to emphasize the word "like", such as that the two were destined, or it was a coincidence made in heaven, but who would have expected that Xie Ruzhuo's words would make him all ready Good words come to naught.
He coughed in embarrassment, and then heard Xie Ruzhuo continue, "Li Ding, you keep saying that I have an affair with you, but the handkerchief you got was just a handkerchief that the maid bought from outside for me to play with. I threw it aside in a few days and didn’t use it anymore; the font you took was the font I wrote a long time ago, do you still want to say now that I had an affair with you three years ago?”
Li Ding's face turned red. He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't tell the truth.
Xie Ruzhuo sneered and continued, "Also, you said that I love Liuweifang's glutinous rice cakes, so you should know that since I came back from hunting and was injured, I have never touched sweets again, especially glutinous rice cakes. !”
When she said this, Ji also remembered that when Xie Ruzhuo went to her place these days, he no longer ate snacks, and at most just drank a few sips of tea.
Xie Shenyan couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "Who gave you the courage to slander my daughter of the Xie family!"
Xie Shenyan roared angrily, and Li Ding suddenly started to tremble, kowtowed and shouted, "Master, spare my life!"
As soon as he begged for mercy, some people couldn't help it, "You are such a slave, how dare you confuse right and wrong like this. If you were in the palace, you would have been beaten to death with a stick!" Xiao Junhan said coldly, glaring at Li Din's eyes seemed to spit fire. Even though he couldn't see it before, he now understands that Li Ding is clearly Shen Jingci's fault again! But in the current situation, it was obvious that Xie Ruzhuo had broken the situation.
Xiao Junhan was shocked and annoyed. What surprised him was that Xie Ruzhuo was not a mindless idiot. Today's situation really opened his eyes. What makes Shen Jingci angry is that his work is getting more and more useless, and he has made miscalculations twice in a row!
But the most important thing at the moment was making amends. He was afraid that Li Ding would accidentally reveal that Shen Jingci was the mastermind behind the scenes. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to kill this useless chess piece!
It's a pity that Xiao Junhan's wishful thinking was loud and clear, but there were always people who didn't let him get his wish, "Second prince, what will happen to this person? I think I still have the power to deal with it. Isn't there something wrong with you acting like this?" ?”
Xie Ruzhuo is not stupid, of course she can hear the meaning of Xiao Junhan's words. Beaten to death with a stick? Then who should she go to to find out the real culprit behind the scenes
Xiao Junhan was embarrassed. Just when he was about to pretend to be a gentleman, he saw Xiao Junxi coming out to smooth things over, "Second brother, this is Xie's housework after all. It's not good for us to stay here for a long time. Why don't we go to the front hall?" Let's sit down for now. Until the affairs of the Xie Mansion are settled, Xin Ning won't be able to play well with Miss Fourth."
Hearing this, Xie Shenyan immediately ordered the servants to send the three of them to the front hall, and also asked them to serve them well.
Seeing this, Xiao Junhan had no choice but to borrow the donkey from the slope and follow him. But he was still unwilling to do so. Before leaving, he looked back at Xie Ruzhuo with a deep meaning like an ancient well.
Xie Rulan was not far away from Xie Ruzhuo. When Xiao Junhan looked over, she subconsciously thought that the other person was looking at her, and she immediately blushed.
After Xiao Junhan walked away, Xie Rulan raised her head and stared at his disappearing back. She couldn't hide her excitement and began to think about what she should do next.
As soon as the princes left, Xie Shenyan suddenly became full of energy, "Come here, drag this cheap servant out for slandering the master and beat him hard! Beat him until he accepts it!"
A servant quickly dragged him out. The sticks beat him on his body, making a dull sound, and the man's wailing suddenly sounded in the yard.
Dongmei, who was kneeling beside her, was shaking constantly. Xie Ruzhuo walked up to her and said, "Are you going to do it now, or do you want to be like him and suffer the physical pain before you do it?"
Dongmei suddenly raised her head and said with fear in her eyes, "My maid, my maid said!" After saying this, she seemed to have made a lot of determination, swallowed her saliva, pointed at Mrs. Qiao and said, "It was the eldest lady who ordered This slave did this! The eldest lady said that the young lady usually doesn’t deal with her, so she wants to ruin the young lady’s reputation!”
"You are so slanderous!"
Before Mrs. Qiao could speak, Bizhi next to her spoke first, pointed at Dongmei and started to curse.
Dongmei's words immediately made the old lady hesitate. After all, it was well known that the relationship between the eldest daughter-in-law and Xie Ruzhuo was not good. In the spring, the two of them had a big fight, and Xie Ruzhuo was quite violent at that time. Although this matter was later suppressed, Xie Ruzhuo would sneer at Mr. Qiao every time he saw her from then on.
"Boss's wife, is what she said true?"
Hearing Ms. Ji's question, Ms. Qiao's face immediately turned ugly, "Mom, you know how I treat their sisters. I will never do such a conscience-breaking thing!"
