The maids kneeling in the yard were frightened by the second lady's sharp shout, and immediately began to tremble with fear. Woad was the first to bear the brunt, and her expressions couldn't help but change.
The second lady was the one who suffered in this matter, and her maidservant died, so she was naturally angry.
Even if she suddenly lost her usual smile, no one would find it strange.
But if she wants to make use of the topic, shouldn't she also be targeting the third bedroom?
Why do you say she was the first to read this book?
Although Isatis's mind is not as detailed as Hengwu's, he is the most clever and can understand it as soon as he thinks about it.
It's not that the second lady doesn't want to involve the third room, she wants Jingshu to tell her name.
Once Isatis betrayed Jingshu, it was equivalent to Li Qingyi betraying Wei Laner.
Then their relationship in the future will not be without grudges.
This second lady has such a twisted heart!
Silan raised her head, looked directly at the second lady, and showed the aura of "I am not afraid of the shadows when I am upright", "I am not afraid of the shadow."
This attitude of not explaining really made the second lady's words unconvincing.
It looked like the second lady was deliberately slandering.
Li Qingyi took a step forward, glanced at Isatis, asked her to step back behind him, and said, "The second lady said this with absolute certainty. Could it be that she saw it with her own eyes?"
The second lady took on the attitude of an elder and said, "I know you have always protected the girls around you, but protection has its own importance. If you are so shameless and pass this kind of dirty thing in the house, if you let me Outsiders know, but they don’t know what to think of my masters in the Wei family. Miss Li cannot ignore the reputation of the Wei family just because her surname is not Wei."
Li Qingyi had to applaud her for this big hat.
Before she could say anything, Wei Baozhu spoke again.
"Sister Li has someone she cares about, so there is no need to be afraid, but sister Li should also think about us sisters. If people think that our sisters in the Wei family are all frivolous, how can we go out to meet people in the future? ?”
Wei Baozhu's tone was tepid, but a little sinister, and even more full of resentment.
Li Qingyi secretly laughed, and sure enough, Wei Baozhu couldn't help but bring the topic to the fourth prince.
A woman trapped in love is no different from an unenlightened animal.
She raised a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth and looked at Wei Baozhu: "Sister Baozhu, why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake?"
A pin drop could be heard in the courtyard for a moment, and everyone looked at Li Qingyi, a little confused...
Wei Baozhu was puzzled: "If you want to kneel, it's you who kneels. Why should I kneel?"
"What Sister Baozhu said just now is strange. I really don't know who has me in mind. You might as well tell me in front of the old lady and the princess, who is that person?"
"Isn't he the fourth prince! Who doesn't know? The news has spread all over the capital!"
Wei Baozhu blurted out without thinking. In her opinion, everyone in the capital was saying that she had something to hide.
But Mrs. Wei's face turned ugly. It was related to the prince. To spread the news secretly in private was already out of line. To say it out loud like this was to make trouble!
Li Qingyi smiled: "You are a young lady who has not yet left the imperial court, but you know a lot. I don't know who told you this. Could it be that the fourth prince told you personally?"
In fact, what Wei Baozhu said just now when he asked Isatis Lan, "Do you think you can hide this from others?" has another meaning, which is to allude to Li Qingyi's attitude towards external rumors.
Li Qingyi used her words of admiration for Qin Zeng to push back the rumors that the fourth prince admired her, but Wei Baozhu was very, very concerned about it and deliberately used the topic to implicate Li Qingyi.
She frowned tightly, "What nonsense? I don't know the fourth prince, how could I listen to him?"
"So, you just listened to the nonsense told by the servants around you?" Li Qingyi looked at the maid who was following her and asked: "Fu'er, Yu'er, but you two told Sister Baozhu about it?"
Fu'er Yu'er was startled when she was suddenly named, and subconsciously shook her head in denial, "No slave!"
Li Qingyi looked at the Second Madam, "Or did the Second Madam tell Sister Baozhu?"
The second lady frowned and glared at Wei Baozhu. Her daughter, who has always been calm and composed, why was she so careless today?
"Of course I wouldn't say such a thing, but what Baozhu said is right. There is a lot of buzz outside, and you can tell by just walking around, so why bother asking?"
"It turns out that Sister Baozhu was just a hearsay."
Li Qingyi stared at her: "I don't know, I thought Sister Baozhu saw me flirting with the fourth prince, or that we exchanged gifts in private! You dare to slander me with empty words, who will kneel if you don't kneel! Think that I, Li Qingyi, am easy to bully , can I let you do whatever you want?"
This question made Wei Baozhu turn pale in an instant.
Li Qingyi looked at the Second Madam again: "I don't know how much the Second Madam is capable of, but it's better not to teach it to Sister Baozhu. This time it's in front of me. Next time, she will gossip in front of others and cause trouble. But no one can help!”
When Wei Baozhu heard this, she exploded with anger. The fake face finally couldn't hold on anymore, and he raised his arm and pointed at her: "You are clearly the one seducing men! Why are you involving me and my mother?!"
Li Qingyi shook his head in shock and said to Madam Wei: "Madam, what did Sister Baozhu say? Who did you learn it from?"
The Second Madam has indeed been saying a lot about Aunt Wen about "seduce men" recently, and many servants in the house have heard of it. Didn't Wei Baozhu learn from her?
Mrs. Wei's eyes were almost cannibalistic. She glanced at the Second Madam with disgust and scolded Wei Baozhu, "Shut your stinky mouth!"
Wei Baozhu was scolded, and although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to disobey the old lady and bit her lip without saying a word.
The second lady's chest felt like it was stuffed with 10,000 kilograms of cotton, and she said, "Miss Li, why are you so aggressive? Your maid is clearly at fault. Why are you trying to grab the orb? I don't know how you are going to explain this matter now."
It was because the second lady had been fighting in the house for so long that she actually changed the subject.
Li Qingyi sneered, "Second Madam, with all due respect, whether the atmosphere in the mansion is right or not depends on how the master disciplines it. When my mother was in charge, this kind of thing had never happened in the clean house. How come after Second Madam took charge? , this house has become a mess, it seems I shouldn’t be the outsider who should explain it, right?”
The second lady fell back angrily. No matter what she said, it was still her fault!
Princess Yuanheng felt much relieved after hearing this. She raised her chin slightly and glared at the second lady.
At this time, the second lady no longer had the same eagerness and kindness towards Li Qingyi as before, "Miss Li! It's obviously the girl next to you who started spreading those dirty things! Could it be that you want to blame me?" "
Li Qingyi glanced at the people kneeling in the yard and said, "If one or two people secretly read it, then the second lady is certainly not to blame. But all the servants in the yard have seen it, so isn't it the second lady's fault?"
"I……"
The two ladies' voices trembled with anger.
Before, she only thought that Li Qingyi was not involved in everything, and that nothing in the house could be blamed on her. She thought that Li Qingyi was hiding well, but now she realized that Li Qingyi was really clever and clever!
She bit her lip and looked at Mrs. Wei, "Old madam, my daughter-in-law can't eat well or sleep well. She worries about the affairs of the house day and night. She must not be negligent in any way. You have to say something for your daughter-in-law. In a word..."
Mrs. Wei frowned and looked at her. She asked the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law to take charge of things in order to seize power from Princess Yuanheng, not because she valued them. If everything goes well, she certainly won't trouble them, but if things don't go well, she will inevitably feel disgusted.
There is something Li Qingyi said that is right.
Although Yuan Heng has an arrogant temperament, there has never been any trouble or trouble in the house when she was in charge, and the third room in charge was also fine. Why did the second wife have troubles every day? It’s not because the second lady herself is not a worry-free person!
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "What the Second Madam said, if you feel tired, it must be because the Second Madam is incompetent and incapable. How can you blame the house for having too many things? Now there is the Third Madam to share the burden for you. My mother was no better than you at the time. There is so much to worry about, does my mother have any complaints?"
