Mr. Hou was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to get angry, but the old lady smiled and said, "Master Hou, let's start dinner first. Fu Niu is hungry. If you have anything to say, we'll talk after eating."
Jiayin also ran over and hugged her . He put his hand on Mr. Hou's thigh, "Fu Niu is hungry, her stomach is growling."
Mr. Hou then softened his expression, hugged Jiayin and sat on one side, and then helped the old lady sit down, "Auntie, try the chef's food in our house. Although the craftsmanship is not as good as that of the fourth younger brother and sister, it is enough to keep the stomach warm."
"There are so many good things, they must be delicious." The old lady responded with a smile, and thanked the housekeeper again, "Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper. "
Don't dare, don't dare. The old lady has broken the slaves, it's all right." The butler hurried forward and bent down to serve the dishes for the masters.
Jiayin was probably hungry, so she didn't eat less. She ate half of each of the two bowls of egg custard, two pieces of ribs, a few chopsticks of vegetables, and a few pieces of fish.
The old lady only ate one bowl of rice, and the Marquis only had half a bowl.
The chief steward was watching, breaking out in a cold sweat. He tried to persuade her twice but did not dare to persuade him any more.
After a while, the dining table was removed and tea and snacks were served. Yu Xue once again thought of inviting Mr. Hou to take a lunch break.
But at this time, Jiayin sat on the chair, swayed her little fat legs and said, "Father, what is a wife? Is the sister who wants to sleep with you called a wife?"
The Marquis held his hand He couldn't hold the tea bowl and fell on the table, making a crisp collision sound.
He looked up at the little fat girl, wondering where she had heard these words.
The butler and the maids inside and outside the house had extremely strange expressions.
Only the old lady hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop her granddaughter from asking questions.
Jiayin didn't hear the Marquis' response, so he continued to ask.
"Also, foster father, what kind of buns are bumpkin buns? Are they delicious?" She pinched her round belly and pouted, "Fu Niu's belly is just a little fatter. She doesn't look like buns!"
At this moment, it was... The fool also heard it. Someone was disrespectful and said unpleasant words in front of the child just now.
The Marquis bent down and hugged Jiayin, let her sit on his lap, and ordered the butler, "Call everyone here."
The butler hurried out without even looking at the pale-faced Yuxue.
Soon, the entire Hou Mansion, a hundred servants old and young, and a hundred guards gathered in the main courtyard and knelt together.
The Marquis then asked: "Fu Niu, tell me, where did you hear those words just now?"
Jiayin pointed to Yuxue and the two maids in green and said, "It's the three of them. Sister in pink said that she She was the wife of her adoptive father, and my grandma and I were outsiders. She slept with her adoptive father in the bedroom. Grandma was angry and kicked her out. Then the two sisters in green and the sister in pink talked at the window. Loudly.
"Sister Fenyi said that my grandma and I were country bumpkins and shameless, and wanted to kick us out. The sister in green clothes said that if the sister in pink clothes wants to carry her aunt, she can take half of the decision in the Marquis Mansion. The sister in pink said she wanted to make tea for her adoptive father, so she asked the two sisters in green to bring us the clothes of the mother-in-law and maid. "
Jiayin is not old, but she speaks with first-class sharpness and speaks clearly. At the end, she even pulled off her skirt and asked: "Father, are these the maid's clothes? They are very beautiful. Fu Niu likes them. . But Fu Niu is not a maid, can she still wear it? "
The face of the Marquis can no longer be described with ink. Everyone inside and outside the house, including the chief steward, knelt down and lowered their heads.
The chief steward really wanted to stab Yuxue with ten thousand knives . .Who
gave her the courage to treat the Li family so slowly?!
Even before, the Marquis regarded the Li family as their benefactors. Ye Shan and Dongmei, the couple who gained the most trust from the Marquis, were like slaves of the Li family. They stayed in the Li family all year round. Serve.
Nowadays, the little girl of the Li family talks about her adoptive father, which is obviously a closer relationship with the Marquis. This Yuxue dares to arrange it in person and they are almost driven to death!
Sure enough, the chief steward heard the Marquis speak and said: "Everyone is optimistic that what I am holding in my arms is the eldest lady of the Xinting Hou Mansion, my adopted daughter, and the only one in the Hou Mansion besides me. The master. Regardless of whether I am here or not, the eldest lady can mobilize all the gold, silver and servants in the prince's house to protect him. Anyone who dares to offend will be killed with a stick!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis." The chief steward quickly took the lead in answering, kowtowing heavily. land.
Yuxuedui sat without making a sound, half scared and half unwilling.
It's a pity that the Marquis didn't even look at her. He ordered the guards, "Drag these three down. They are guilty of violating the law. They can avoid the death penalty but cannot escape the crime of living. The stick in the green clothes will be punished by twenty, and the stick in the pink clothes will be punished by thirty. , sell them all to the house!"
The steward quickly got up and led the guards to drag Yu Xue and the two maids away.
Yu Xue's eyes were filled with disbelief. The Marquis actually refused to call her by her name or did not remember her name at all? !
She crawled back desperately, crying and begging for mercy, "Master Marquis, I was wrong, Master Marquis, please spare my life, please don't sell me! Wow, I am the Marquis's person, I can't leave the Marquis' mansion, please spare my life, Lord Marquis" Ah!"
The two maids in green clothes were also struggling desperately. They were used to being pampered and pampered in the Hou Mansion, and they would definitely not end well if they were beaten to death and sold out.
"Master Hou, this slave is wrong. You should not offend the eldest lady. We were all instigated by Yuxue! Oh, Master, please forgive us. We will never dare to do it again."
Master Hou ignored them and asked instead. Looking into her arms, she watched the lively good news with great interest, "Fu Niu, do you think the two people in green clothes are innocent?"
Jiayin shook her head, "No, grandma and I heard it clearly while taking a bath. They all wanted to follow Yi When my father was sleeping, he was jealous of the sister in pink clothes and led her to scold me and grandma."
Mr. Hou coughed twice and whispered softly, "It's not good to talk about sleeping. You can't say it in the future. Do you understand?"
Jiayin pursed her lips and asked. : "What should I do if Fu Niu wants to sleep in the future? If she doesn't talk about sleep, how will grandma know?"
Mr. Hou was gagged. He really didn't know how to explain the word "sleep" to the same child, which has different meanings in different situations.
Mrs. Li suppressed her laughter and quickly picked up her granddaughter, which was a relief for Mr. Hou. "Don't make trouble with your adoptive father. Grandma will tell you when you get home."
"Okay," Fu Niu'er blinked her big eyes twice. His face was full of confusion, but actually he was laughing so hard that his intestines were already in knots.
She was the only one in the world who could make Marquis Xinting turn as red as a monkey's ass.
The Marquis stood up and told the old lady, "Auntie, take Fu Niu around the house, and tidy up the east wing of the courtyard according to your wishes. From now on, don't care whether I am in the house or not. Just come to the city. I'm staying here for a few days. I still have some unfinished business, so I'll take care of it first."
"Go, I heard the garden is very beautiful, let's go have a look." The old lady waved her hand, hugged Jiayin and got up to go out.
When the butler saw this, he quickly signaled the guards to drag people out.
Yu Xue and the other three did not expect that the Marquis chatted for a long time and had no intention of taking back the order.
They were extremely disappointed and completely frightened. They screamed and rushed forward to continue begging for mercy, but they were kicked over by the guards and carried out directly.
Yuxue was unwilling to give in and cried: "Master Hou, I have served you for several years, you can't be so ruthless!"
