The old lady closed her eyes and leaned on the couch without saying a word, her thumb pressed her temples repeatedly, obviously suffering from a headache. The Fang family's mother and son made the matter a big deal, and they can't be moved; Li's family is the first of the scholarly family who cherishes feathers the most, and quickly resigned. The most trouble-free solution is to marry Yu Siyu, and then send him far away from Beijing.
But in the end it was my own granddaughter, how could I push her out knowing that it was a pit of fire? The old lady couldn't make up her mind. Let's wait until Yan'er comes back, Yan'er will definitely find a way! Thinking of this, she just softened her complexion.
Yu Miaoqi was paying close attention to her expression, guessing how she was planning to give in, she immediately teased Lin.
Lin first scolded Yu Xiang for not saying a few words, and then ordered someone to send the delirious Yu Siyu back, her expression was gentle and kind, as if she was a good mother, but she turned back and immediately begged, "Mother, the matter has become serious, so we should send you back as soon as possible." It's good for people to appease the mother and child. Aren't they just greedy for Yu Siyu's dowry? Today we will send a small sedan chair to send them over and stuff them with a few hundred taels of gold and silver, so that they can leave as soon as possible! What do you think, mother? If they stay in the capital for a day, our Hou Mansion will not be peaceful for a day, how many people watch our jokes behind our backs."
The old lady seemed to be persuaded by her, thinking that her grandson was already busy enough, and she, as an elder, should take care of these rear house affairs so as not to distract her grandson.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to agree, Yu Xiang said, "Don't worry, my brother will always find a way, let's talk about it after my brother comes back. Our daughter in the Yongle Hou Mansion cannot be ruined in vain."
As soon as she spoke, the old lady seemed to have found her backbone, and she nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Lin Shi was gnashing her teeth angrily, but Yu Miaoqi lowered her eyes and smiled secretly. Let Yu Pinyan take care of the Fang family's mother and son himself? So just right, the second pot of sewage I prepared also had a place to splash.
Helping Mrs. Lin back to the main room, she took a box of expensive bird's nests to the east courtyard, and saw Yu Siyu lying on the bed silently crying, with a heart ashamed.
"Sister, you have to cheer up." She ran over with small steps, helped Yu Siyu up and asked the girl for a soft pillow to put behind her, and said in a low voice, "Wouldn't your behavior hurt your loved ones?" The enemy is fast? You don't even think about it, if you collapse, who will be the happiest?"
"Of course it's Yu Xiang, that bitch!" Yu Siyu seemed to come alive after hearing these words, and the brocade quilt was ripped out.
"Exactly." Yu Miaoqi patted the back of her hand lightly, and continued, "I believe my sister is innocent, and she will definitely not be able to do such a thing. But why did my sister's bellyband appear in Fang Zhichen's hands? Who secretly gave it to him?" What? His family was so destitute that they couldn’t even afford to eat, so how could they come to Beijing? They even rented a big courtyard with three entrances in Baihuajing Lane. Who wants to harm you like this. You can't be depressed and follow that person's way!"
At the end of the sentence, she picked up the scissors as if carelessly, held them firmly in the palm of her hand, and choked up as if empathetic, "It's a pity that I have no foundation when I just returned home, otherwise I will definitely find out that person for my sister and give her a reputation as a whole sister."
With a crisp clicking sound, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into two pieces by her, and it fluttered to the ground.
Yu Siyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she snatched the scissors without a trace, and turned to comfort her, "My good sister, it's good if you have a heart. I'll ask for justice on my own, you are not her opponent."
"Sister, does she know who it is? Could it really be..." Yu Miaoqi pointed towards the South Courtyard in shock.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't her? Could it be the ancestor? You have to be careful after I leave, she is sinister and vicious!" Yu Siyu made a point earnestly, and immediately ordered the girl to send Yu Miaoqi back, and changed into a coat by herself. After tidying up her messy hair, she hid the scissors in her sleeves and headed south across the courtyard.
Seeing the murderous look in her eyebrows, Mrs. Qiu turned back to the house and found that a pair of scissors was missing from the sewing box, and hurriedly took a short cut to warn her.
Yu Siyu stepped into the small courtyard with resentment, and saw a group of women and girls staring at her with wooden boards for torture in their hands, and their legs and feet softened quickly. She forced herself to walk into the room step by step, only to see Yu Xiang crouching on the couch, eating melon seeds, her dark and bright eyes were lightly looking over, and there were three points of pity and seven points of sharpness in her eyes.
Qiu Shi knelt at her feet, and sneaked into the corner.
"Okay, it's you old dog again! Do you think Yu Xiang is a good friend? She cannibalizes people and doesn't spit out bones. When you have no use value and know her secrets, you will be killed by her immediately! "There was something Yu Siyu didn't understand, and he twisted his face and yelled, wishing he could swallow Qiu Shi alive.
"Come on, the Qiu family is a loyal protector, but you don't appreciate it." Yu Xiang straightened up, slowly patted off the melon seed shells on the skirt, and sighed, "Throw away the scissors in your sleeves, or I will let them Break your arm, do you believe it or not?"
As soon as the words fell, Tao Hong stomped the board in her hand vigorously, and the rest of the people looked at it fiercely.
Yu Siyu threw the scissors away with a trembling of her fingertips. The sharp point of the knife almost pierced her feet, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
Yu Xiang leaned over, with a lazy smile on her face, and said slowly, "Tell me, what secrets does Qiu know about me that makes me want to kill her?"
"You, you murdered your own family and ruined my reputation! You are selfish and vicious, and your morals are corrupt! You are simply not human!" Yu Siyu was a little guilty at first, but gradually straightened up after speaking.
"To be more specific, how did you murder your fellow clan and ruin your reputation?" Yu Xiang put one hand on the soft pillow, gently supporting her cheek, her big eyes flickering, as if she was very thirsty for knowledge.
Yu Siyu was a little flustered under her bright eyes, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva before complaining, "You sent this old dog to steal the bellyband in Fang Zhichen's hand, right? The reason why the Fang family's mother and son came to Beijing to make trouble is because of you." Did you instigate them? You gave them all the troubles on the road and the rent for renting the yard, right? In order to harm me, you really planned everything!"
Yu Xiang seemed to have heard some big joke, and suddenly laughed tremblingly, the blouse draped over her shoulders slipped off quietly, revealing half of her snow-white arm. She didn't care how seductive her demeanor was, she suddenly turned pale, and hooked her index finger at Yu Siyu, "Come here!"
The originally clear and melodious voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a heavy, heart-pounding sense of oppression, and even a few women with sticks stepped forward to make threatening gestures. The deflated ball screeched and ran away completely, leaving Wei Yu in a state of panic.
She was extremely reluctant, but unable to control her steps, she moved forward bit by bit, staring at Yu Xiang's gloomy face with timid eyes. Yu Xiang leaned over and looked at her closely, her sharp eyes were like boning steel knives, cutting her exposed flesh one by one.
Just when Yu Siyu couldn't bear it and wanted to back away, Yu Xiang suddenly sneered and slapped her hard on the ground.
Yu Siyu was in pain, covered her red and swollen cheeks and growled, "How dare you hit me? You hurt me and you still dare to hit me? God is watching from above. Sooner or later, you will be punished!" Flow out.
At this moment, she felt extremely helpless. After fighting for so many years, even if she refused to face it directly, she had to admit that she was indeed jealous of Yu Xiang, but more of it was fear. She likes to provoke her, but she is afraid of really angering her, because she knows that she has no ability to compete with Yu Xiang.
But right now, Yu Xiang seemed really angry.
Yu Xiang was indeed furious, clasping Yu Siyu's chin with five fingers, lifted her face, and said in a deep voice, "Yu Siyu, you are really stupid to the extreme, do you know that? I will show you the way today. Your bellyband was stolen by Xue Xue, the second-class girl in charge of washing hairpins and bracelets in your yard. It was handed over to Nanny Jin, and then handed over to her second son-in-law to take her to Yangzhou. Her son-in-law hired a refugee lobbyist Mother and son, they said that I ordered them to destroy your reputation, and the bigger the trouble, the better. But you are talking about how you offended Yu Miaoqi and let her set up such a vicious plan to kill you for life? Do you think you The antique jades and even the pavement of the farm that were taken from her were all blown by the strong wind? She is silent and obedient on the surface, but secretly wants to stab you to death!"
Yu Siyu was stunned when he heard that, lightning bolts flashed in his mind, and he suddenly realized the last few sentences. If you want to ask how she offended Yu Miaoqi, isn't it because she found out about her background? That's right, if she married in the capital, if one day she couldn't control her mouth and publicized her life experience, how would Yu Miaoqi gain a foothold? What's more, she relied on this secret to beg for things from her over and over again, and each item was priceless. It's strange if she doesn't hate her!
If the two exchange positions, Yu Siyu will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating, and then rack his brains to deal with her.
However, after thinking about it, she hesitated again, and yelled fiercely, "Yu Xiang, you don't need to provoke discord, Qi'er is gentle, kind and sincere, and will never harm me! On the contrary, you are always running on me and forcing me..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu Xiang slapped her hard again, clasped her jaw even more forcefully, and sighed, "Why can't you wake up from the slap? This life is the life of being sold and paying for the helper's money." We have been getting along for so many years, you should know a thing or two about my personality. I like fighting with open flames the most, and I don’t like playing tricks behind my back. Let me ask you, after all these years, have I ever framed someone behind my back? past you?"
A trace of blood slowly dripped from the corner of Yu Siyu's mouth, he frowned and thought for a moment, then reluctantly replied, "Never."
"Have you ever ordered someone to make things difficult for you?"
After a moment of silence, he shook his head, "Never."
"Have you ever withheld your certificate?"
The time of silence became shorter and shorter, "Never."
"Have you ever shamed you in front of outsiders?"
"Never." That's because you will embarrass me as soon as you get home!
Not wanting to think about it, following Yu Xiang's question and thinking a little bit, Yu Siyu suddenly discovered that, apart from the unwillingness in her heart these years, her life has indeed been very nourishing. Although it is not expensive, it is also exquisite, much better than the concubine daughters of the Duke's House, and has never been looked down upon or tortured by the servants. It's just that Qiu Shi is a little annoying, but most of the time, he bows his knees and concentrates on his work, and has never been arrogant in front of her. Although Yu Xiang was sharp-tongued and beat her up from time to time, she had never done anything wrong behind her back. If she likes it, she likes it, and if she hates it, she hates it. She never pretends to pretend to be herself, not like that duplicitous Yu Miaoqi.
The memory became clearer and clearer, and Yu Siyu suddenly felt speechless. It turns out that she hasn't had a bad time these years.
Yu Xiang let go of her bruised jaw, and said with a sneer, "Furthermore, if I wanted to harm you, I should have urged you to marry into Fang's family at the beginning. Now you are Fang's wife, and you have a share in the family robbery. Staying in prison for a few days is considered light, but in severe cases, you will be sent as a slave and your dowry will be confiscated. How come you are so arrogant now, you come to kill with scissors I treat you with good intentions and you treat me like a sneaky one. Yu Miaoqi enlists you in the face and frame you in the back, and you are still intimate with her, a sisterly love. Can you tell me if you are stupid or not? What's the use of it? It's better to dig it!"
What he said was so reasonable that he couldn't find the slightest flaw. Yu Siyu groaned for a while and suddenly covered his face and wept, and squeezed out a few words, "I'm stupid! I really don't know anyone!" If she really stabbed Yu Xiang today, she might be thrown to the other side immediately by her elder brother Mother and son have since lost contact. Yu Miaoqi is really calculating!
In an instant, her hatred for Yu Xiang, Yu Pinyan, and even the old lady were all transferred to Yu Miaoqi, and it was still rapidly swelling and fermenting.
