"Where did the clothes come from? Whose are they?" Xie Yuanjiu asked tremblingly.
Mrs. Xie's eyes dodged: "I forgot..."
Xie Yuanjiu looked carefully and saw that they looked like clothes worn by the maids in the mansion.
She took a breath and remembered that when she first came back, everyone in the mansion was complaining about her mother, Mrs. Xie Er.
Because there was a little maid who was very popular in the Xie Mansion. After being arranged to serve Mrs. Xie, one night, she mysteriously hit a rock and died!
Seeing this bloody clothes, Xie Yuanjiu immediately connected with what she had heard before.
She stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Xie's clothes: "You killed me, right?"
Mrs. Xie covered her face and cried bitterly.
"I don't want to kill her, but who let her eavesdrop on me?"
That day, she beat the little maid named Wenxiu. At first, she just wanted to vent, but then she gradually lost control.
Mrs. Xie picked up the inkstone on the table and hit Wenxiu hard on the head.
Once, again...
At first she could still hear Wenxiu's begging for mercy, but soon, Wenxiu lost her breath.
When she came to her senses, Wenxiu had fallen into a pool of blood and died.
Mrs. Xie curled up into a ball, her eyes filled with tears and panic.
"I was very afraid that Xie Mingan would find out, so I took off her clothes and pushed her onto the rockery in the pool outside."
"Jiujiu, don't worry, no one doubts me. It's just a maid who died, no one cares! Xie
Yuanjiu gritted her teeth: "Why do you always cause me trouble? As a mother, what have you given me? There are only endless problems!"
She said, walking to the door and looking outside.
The women were sitting in the yard, chatting loudly, and did not notice the movement in the house.
Now it is not impossible to secretly throw away the bloody clothes.
It's just...
Xie Yuanjiu's faint eyes fell on that piece of clothing.
Mrs. Xie Er came over crying and held her hand.
"Jiujiu, Mom's headaches have become more and more frequent recently. Can you not be angry with Mom?"
"You can find a way to solve this problem for Mom in Xueyi! You can't let your father see it, otherwise, he will dislike me and treat you badly. " It's no good either."
Hearing this, Xie Yuanjiu closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
How could she not know this?
His father, Xie Dizhi, hated his mother for using medicine to harm him. Fortunately, Mrs. Xie paid attention to the rules and forced Mr. Xie to marry his pregnant mother.
Otherwise, with Mrs. Xie's brain, Xie Yuanjiu still doesn't know where she is wandering now.
She opened her eyes again and looked at Madam Xie.
"You don't want to be kicked out of the Xie Mansion by my father. From now on, you must listen to me honestly."
"After all, I am my father's flesh and blood. He can live without you, but tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, no matter what. He won't ignore me either."
Mrs. Xie nodded quickly, looking pale and helpless. At this time, she completely chose to believe her eight-year-old daughter.
Xie Yuanjiu secretly took Xue Yi away.
When Li Yuyi comes tomorrow, he can use her to drive Shen Ningning out!
By the way, it can also clear the suspicion of bloody clothes.
...
The golden rooster breaks at dawn, the sun pierces the clouds, casting the early morning light.
Under the eaves of the high gate of Xie Mansion, the front yard was busy because of the reception of distinguished guests.
Second Master Xie walked slowly over to check on the green bamboo crutch given by Shen Ningning.
Xie Yuanjiu's voice came from behind: "Father, thank you for letting me invite Yu Yi to come to the house to enjoy the flowers."
Mr. Xie turned back with a calm expression.
He looked at his daughter standing in the shade of the flowers. She was obviously only eight years old, but her whole body exuded a maturity that was beyond her age.
Mr. Xie sighed.
I just feel that I have been sick for too long and have a bad relationship with Mrs. Xie Er, so I have been neglecting to take care of my daughter.
He said: "It doesn't matter. If I'm angry with your mother again, I won't take it out on you."
"If the girl from the Li family comes here later, please say hello to her father." The implication is that he will not follow her. Receive together.
Xie Yuanjiu's smile froze: "But father, just now the boy from the Li family came to report that Yu Yi had invited her father, Mr. Li, too."
Mr. Xie was slightly surprised: "Mr. Li?"
I originally thought it was. Why did a simple get-together at the girl's house involve Li Yuyi's father.
In this case, the Xie Mansion must send someone of similar status to greet him, so as not to break the etiquette. But today the eldest brother Xie Suzhi entered the palace. Mr. Xie
frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'm afraid it's too late to make arrangements now."
I'm here just to see you, and I won't talk about any official matters."
"When they come, father, just stay with me for a while. I think Mr. Li is about to take office as minister, so he won't have that much time. Stay and enjoy the flowers."
Xie Suzhi looked deeply and could only nod in agreement.
After a while, the Li family's carriage arrived.
Xie Yuanjiu led the maid to greet him.
Mr. Li is wearing regular clothes, with a slender face, natural smiling eyes like a tiger, but the corners of his mouth are slightly turned down.
"Master Li, please don't be offended if you miss him from afar." Mr. Xie thanked him enough to save face, and took the initiative to welcome him out of the house.
Mr. Li then took the initiative to step forward with a smile and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Second Master! Long time no see. The last time we said goodbye, I vaguely remember that it was when I left Beijing ten years ago and was preparing to go to Nanzhou to take up my post."
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, time.
Li Yuyi pulled Xie Yuanjiu aside and asked in a low voice: "I listened to you and invited my father here. Are you sure you can make Shen Ningning suffer?"
Xie Yuanjiu nodded heavily, and she whispered a few words. .
Li Yuyi's eyes widened: "How brave is she? She dares to throw out the bloody clothes of a person suffering from the plague? I think she doesn't want to live anymore!"
As she said that, she sneered: "Humph, that's fine, my dad is here today. Now, the Xie family shouldn't try to protect her. Let's go in."
Xie Yuanjiu quickly stepped forward and said gently to Mr. Xie and Master Li: "Father, Uncle Li, we have prepared herbal tea at the house. Let's go in and talk.
" The father and daughter entered the hall of Xie's mansion and exchanged simple greetings. Mr. Xie was in a light mood and did not compliment Mr. Li very much.
So, after Master Li sat for a while, he looked at his little daughter.
Li Yuyi understood and said coquettishly: "Yuanjiu, didn't you say that your family has the Wei Zi peony that the emperor rewarded? Take me and my father to have a look!" Xie
Yuanjiu stood up quickly: "Father, is that okay?"
The second master nodded.
She then politely asked: "Yuyi, Uncle Li, please come with me."
Mr. Xie had difficulty with his legs and feet, so he simply sat in the wheelchair again, letting his servants push him, and followed them.
The group of people walked in the flowerbed with fluttering butterflies, with gravel paths, rockeries and flowing water, which was particularly interesting.
The white wall not far away is covered with wisteria flowers, which are particularly beautiful under the care of the summer sun.
"It's so beautiful, no wonder you called me to come and see it." Li Yuyi smiled.
A group of people walked onto the Jade Belt Bridge and were about to pass a small stream that ran through the mansion. Suddenly, a blood-red thing floated over.
Li Yuyi screamed in horror: "What is that!"
Mr. Li immediately looked seriously. Mr. Xie also frowned and asked his servants to push him closer.
I saw that the thing floating down along the current turned out to be a piece of clothing.
Master Li immediately asked his followers to fish it up and throw it on the ground.
Li Yuyi was so frightened that she hid behind her father: "It turned out to be the bloody clothes floating down. How did this come about? It's so scary!"
Xie Yuanjiu seemed to be frightened, and her face turned pale.
She said tremblingly: "The source of this creek is near the side courtyard. Did it fall out of the side courtyard?"
Mr. Xie's expression suddenly changed and he scolded: "Yuanjiu! Don't talk nonsense."
Listen to him. Mr. Li narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Second Master Xie, what's wrong with the side hospital in the mansion? Why are there bloody clothes?"
"Xuanjiu, you said last time that your sister, Fifth Miss Xie Yuanning, took in a patient suffering from the plague. If you are in the mansion, do you mean you live in a side courtyard?" Li Yuyi asked.
Xie Yuanjiu looked embarrassed. He was usually eloquent, but now he hesitated.
"I...I..." She looked at Mr. Xie cautiously.
This move made Mr. Li even more convinced that there were patients suffering from plague living in the Xie Mansion Branch Hospital!
He was immediately angry.
"Second Master Xie, if there are patients in the house, you should not invite my daughter to come over to enjoy the flowers. Otherwise, if she does something bad, how can you be responsible?"
"Also," Mr. Li said in a serious tone, as if he had caught someone. Xie's family had an excuse: "These bloody clothes can float in the pool. I think there may be more than one person suffering from the plague in your family. According to the rules set by the emperor, if one person in the family is infected with the plague, If there are more than five people, we will report it to the emperor!"
"As the residence of the Prime Minister, how could the Xie Mansion not report the situation and hide the situation?" Mr. Li said, by the way! Walk forward along the stream and go straight to the side courtyard.
Li Yuyi glanced at Xie Yuanjiu and immediately ran to her father.
Seeing that they were all gone, Xie Yuanjiu pretended to be anxious and asked Mr. Xie: "Father, what should we do?"
Mr. Xie thought deeply: "Let's follow."
Xie Yuanjiu pursed her lips calmly and pressed Live in the eyes the joy of succeeding.
She just wants to make things worse.
Shen Ningning took the patient back home, which was selfish in itself!
When Shen Ningning is accused by thousands of people, let's see what else she can be happy about.
I really like the weekend, I feel like you all came back and left messages hahahaha
