The ladies were afraid of her and the old lady's punishment, but they were even more afraid of Mr. Xie who even dared to beat people from the county government.
After a few moments of embarrassment, he begged her to ask the old lady what she meant.
She is the old lady beside the old lady, and no one knows the old lady's difficulties better than her.
What's more, the old lady was really unable to do what she wanted because of her children and grandchildren recently, so with tacit approval, she came to Chun Shuyuan.
Song Yueyi looked calm and self-possessed, leaving Jinglan and the other girls in the yard to dry out their quilts and books, leaving only Wen's mother to follow.
When he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Chao Liufeng winked and said, "The makeup powder I ordered at Liufangzhai a few days ago should have arrived. Go get it for me now."
"Yes." Liu Feng understood and took the order.
Then Song Yueyi took Liu Yun with her and went with her.
The Xie family has lived in Jianghu for generations, and the people in power in the previous dynasty were stupid, so the Xie family turned against them as city guards. Even though the Xie family later became a marquis after the founding of the Liang Dynasty, except for Xie Ruli, who had great military exploits and lived in Shangjing, most of the Xie family's direct and branch families still lived here.
It can be regarded as the foundation of nearly a hundred years. The residence of the direct line covers a relatively large area. The west courtyard is basically occupied by the second and third bedrooms of the Xie family.
The east courtyard is where Mrs. Xie and her brothers and sisters Xie Jingling live.
At this moment, on the bluestone floor of the east courtyard, a woman as delicate as water was prostrate on the ground, her graceful figure outlined in a light red flowing dark tea cloud dress.
The woman was held motionless by her arms held behind her back by two women with frightened expressions.
There were also several women with similar expressions and a few maids who were nodding and holding their breath standing around.
"You really don't want to let me go? My fifth brother will be here soon. Let's see how you two bastards end up!"
On the stone steps, Xie Anping glared at the woman who was keeping people in custody in the courtyard without saying a word and shouted angrily.
"Fifth girl, the old lady has an order. No one can let her go until the fifth master agrees to end things with her. Otherwise, we will be kicked out of the house. Fifth girl, please don't embarrass the slaves. .”
The old lady on the left defended in a trembling voice.
"Okay, okay, okay, what I said doesn't work. When I met Fifth Brother later, he didn't drive you cheap maids out of the house to get rid of the problem. Instead, he found an old woman to sell to a brothel. Young people were being raped every day. Riding, the old and slutty ones are the ones collecting night incense for others..."
Xie Anping wore a long pleated skirt and had a graceful appearance. God had not treated her badly in appearance, but she grew up in the countryside. Her words were so vulgar that everyone present blushed.
She didn't feel ashamed, but felt that she could scold them so high that they didn't dare to say anything back. She felt very comfortable physically and mentally, and was very proud of herself.
"Cousin Ping, please be careful with what you say. People who are rich and well-mannered have never sold their servants. Even if they made a huge mistake, they would just return the contract and release them mercifully, let alone sell them to those lowly people." Cousin Ping is also the legitimate daughter of the Hou family after all. If such despicable words are spread, outsiders will know that they are coming from you, a girl who has not yet left the palace. Not to mention the Xie family of Jiang Hu, even the Hou Ye who went to Beijing will have to face him. Without glory, he will be criticized and ridiculed by others."
Apart from Song Yueyi, there must be no one else in the house who can say these words.
Xie Anping had been waiting for her here for a long time. He raised his eyebrows slightly, turned to look at the moon cave door, and saw Song Yueyi walking over in a dignified and demure manner.
Behind him were only a boy and a wet nurse.
Next to her were Grandma Li and Yan Xia from Baishou Hall.
She had a sarcastic look on her face, "Hey, Cousin Song, don't you usually just live in the inner house and never leave the house? What kind of wind blew you out today?"
Song Yueyi said calmly as she walked: "Your fourth brother has repeatedly told me to control you and your fifth cousin. Aunt Li said that a woman of unknown origin was arrested here. Cousin Ping is showing off her power with the servants who arrested her. I If you don't come again, won't you be failing your fourth brother's trust?"
"Who said Miss Yuqiong's origins are unknown? She is Fifth Brother's favorite woman." Xie Anping sneered, "These blind people should be sold out of the house if they catch people randomly."
Song Yueyi had a cold look on her face, "Cousin Ping, you just refuse to change despite repeated admonitions? There is a saying in the book that a virtuous woman should be careful with her speech, and she should not make nonsense words or get involved in filth. A girl from a noble family like you can only be kind and intimidating to her servants. , can't be practiced. You'd better say it again and again, aren't you afraid of dragging down all the relatives of the Jianghu Xie family who have not left the cabinet? "
"Bah! Stop preaching in front of me. You are just an old-fashioned person that my brother hates until he vomits. The more you preach, the more I can't listen to a word you say." Xie Anping spit to himself, "Let's talk about last time, fifth brother. I rushed out from the Jiang family's birthday party to rescue Miss Yuqiong. If it weren't for your gift, Fifth Brother should still be able to be with Miss Yuqiong freely. Why should I be so sneaky? Just wait for Fifth Brother to tear you into pieces. "
She looked gloating, but Song Yueyi felt something in her heart. They actually suspected her? How can it be? She had obviously been careful enough, but where was the flaw?
"Fifth sister is right, today I want to cut this poisonous woman into pieces so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Following these resentful words, everyone heard the news and went out, only to see Xie Renhuai, with a cloth bandage on his head and bruises on his face, being carried in by two nursing staff with his body crooked.
The women who were detained couldn't stand it any longer and released their hands in panic. The woman on the ground immediately got up and threw herself into Xie Ren's arms crying, "Fifth Master, I don't want to leave you..."
Xie Renhuai was also dissolute. In front of everyone, he patted the woman's back, "Yuqiong, don't worry, I will definitely vent my bad breath today. Please stand aside first..."
Seeing that he had spoken unkindly, Nanny Li seemed to have come prepared. She was afraid that he would be so bold that something big happened again, so she immediately stood in front of Song Yueyi with vigilance, "Fifth Master, don't make random accusations. My cousin has never felt sorry for you at all. place!"
Xie Renhuai was furious, "You don't feel sorry for me at all? Is Aunt Li an old fool? If she hadn't asked Chuntao to go to Buyi Lane to find me that night and come back to listen to her preaching, Yuqiong wouldn't have known about me the next day. I need to go to the Jiang family to see about Miss Jiang."
"If she didn't know, she wouldn't have been able to go out to look for me, let alone meet Huang Zuohai to tease and kidnap her. Without these things, how could I have run away from Jiang's house and messed up Jiang Er and me? The girl’s marriage ruined the fourth brother’s important matter?”
He spoke categorically, blaming all the mistakes he made on Song Yueyi.
Song Yueyi was amazed. No matter on weekdays or in fantasy, he had always been courteous to her on the surface, and only showed his true face in her last days.
Now he took the wrong medicine, and suddenly his quiet and gentle skin was torn off, and he did such a shameless thing in public.
It seems that Ruan Ying really contributed a lot.
But that's right, this is the effect she wants.
