Remember in one second to provide you with wonderful novels to read. Madam Wu had an awkward smile on her face. ←Baidu search→
The compliments kept pouring into her ears, and she couldn't tell whether they were sincere or fake. She just felt that what happened today was inexplicable, and she didn't dare to refute it, lest Lu, Xu Nuo or even the long-tongued woman would notice the clues.
But Xu Qian, who was sitting opposite, couldn't bear it.
Xu Qian hid the crumpled handkerchief in her sleeve, took a deep breath, and said, "Looking at the texture of the handkerchief in Madam Wu's hand, it seems that it is not what our Xu family is used to for embroidery."
At this moment, Xu Qian was a little suspicious that Mrs. Wu had brought the wrong handkerchief. Instead of the handkerchief that Xu Nuo had embroidered, she had brought the handkerchief that she had embroidered.
What she said now was just to get people to return the praise they had just promised to her.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, someone started asking.
The woman who asked the question sat next to the woman with the long tongue. She smiled and asked, "Is this the wife of the Xu family?"
"I've met Madam. My son is the fourth mother of the Xu family." Xu Qian stood up, bowed and saluted again, with very thorough etiquette.
"Oh? Then come here and see if this is the veil on your house?" The lady said, her smile becoming meaningful.
How could a woman who has been in the back house all year round not be familiar with this kind of thing? She could detect it with just a few clues, but she didn't know who set it up.
Just treat other people's affairs as a matter of excitement.
Xu Qian glanced at Lu, ignored Lu's shaking head, and walked to the seat opposite.
The long-tongued woman looked up at Xu Qian, snorted and handed the handkerchief to Xu Qian.
Xu Qian took the handkerchief, feeling as if she was pricked by a needle in her heart.
This is a good handkerchief from the Xu family, but the butterfly on the handkerchief was not embroidered by her, and this butterfly was better than the one she embroidered, more vivid and more delicate.
She knew best what kind of level the promised female workers were, and it was absolutely impossible that the female workers had improved recently and could embroider such fine products.
Why did Madam Wu take out such a handkerchief?
Could it be that Mrs. Wu is playing with her?
Mrs. Wu was inserted into the Xu Mansion by Lord Jiaren County. She told Mrs. Wu about her habit of making promises, and Mrs. Wu also got the promised handkerchief.
The original plan was to inadvertently make Xu Nuo's extremely ugly veil appear at a banquet at her best friend's house. The first is to cause chaos for the Hu family's birthday banquet, and the second is to let everyone in the capital know that although the Xu family's Liu Niang is good at tea, the female workers are not worth mentioning. It is by no means a shortcoming that good tea skills can make up for.
The plan is very simple to implement, with almost no possibility of failure. It is so simple that all it takes is a handkerchief falling from Mrs. Wu's sleeve.
But I didn't want it to be such a beautiful embroidery.
Is it possible, is it possible that Mrs. Wu was bribed by the promise?
Xu Qian had made it clear to Xu Nuo when she was in Suzhou, and she knew that Xu Nuo was careful. Maybe Xu Nuo discovered something unusual about Mrs. Wu? This forced Mrs. Wu to reveal the person behind the scenes. Today, she not only wanted to save the embarrassing situation, but also hit her and made her embarrassed.
Xu Qian was startled by her thoughts and broke into a cold sweat.
I had doubts in my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt like this.
Promise made her lose so miserably last year. If she didn't take the initiative now, would she lose again?
Xu Qian was a little panicked, but she slowly said: "This handkerchief is indeed the handkerchief of the Xu family, but the embroidery on it is very strange to me, Fourth Mother. ← Baidu Search → I don't know who took it. The Xu family’s handkerchief is such a fine piece of embroidery.”
Since Madam Wu betrayed her, she would not make it easy for Madam Wu.
Hearing this, Xu Nuo laughed and shook his head. He was not in a hurry to argue, but just folded his arms and watched the show.
Lady Wu said: "What are you talking about, Fourth Lady? Although I am teaching female workers in the Xu family, I will not take the Xu family's veil and give it to others."
As he spoke, his eyebrows rose.
Xu Qian responded softly: "Mrs. Wu, don't worry, I didn't say what you took, just this veil. I really don't understand."
The long-tongued woman couldn't stand listening and asked: "Who embroidered this veil? Don't you know? Why does it appear in Madam Wu's sleeve if you don't recognize it? Is it true that what Xu Siniang said, Madam Wu, your hands and feet Not clean?"
The woman with a long tongue is unforgiving when she talks. In one sentence, the meaning behind Xu Qian's words was clarified.
When everyone heard this, they all became energetic. They all put down their tea cups and stared at this side.
Mrs. Wu hurriedly waved her hands and said sincerely, "You are joking. I have taught female workers in Bianjing for so many years. Everyone knows what kind of person I am. How could I take the master's work at will?" Where are the things? I don’t even take a needle from my master’s house on weekdays, and I also have handkerchiefs in my workshop, so I won’t ruin my reputation just for a few handkerchiefs.”
Madam Wu didn't understand what was going on with Xu Qian at first, but later she realized that Xu Qian was going to throw her into the water, and she thought hard and came up with a plan.
After hearing her say this, some people naturally responded and said that Xu Qian should not frame Mrs. Wu.
Xu Qian was not in a hurry, took half a step back, glanced at the long-tongued woman first, then stared at Madam Wu, and said: "Of course I am willing to believe Madam Wu, but what's going on with this handkerchief now? Madam Wu doesn't want to explain. For a moment?"
Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it for a long time. As soon as Xu Qian finished speaking, she called out: "Siniang, don't talk to Mrs. Wu like that."
When Xu Qian heard this, she lowered her head and wanted to return to her seat.
Madam Wu stood up and said, "Wait a minute."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly stood up, gave a half salute to Madam Wu, and said with a hint of apology: "Si Niang didn't sleep well last night, and she talked nonsense today. I hope Madam Wu won't be angry."
Mrs. Lu had noticed something was wrong early on, but now she still couldn't figure it out, so she could only force the matter to end. If there was any problem, she would go back to her house to investigate, and she couldn't ruin the birthday banquet of the Hu family's old man.
"As old as I am, naturally I won't get angry with a child, but there is something that the Fourth Lady may not know, so I might as well tell her here." Lady Wu glanced at Xu Qian with a smile.
Xu Qian shuddered at the sight, but was speechless.
Lu smiled faintly and said in a calm voice: "Mrs. Wu, it's okay to just say it."
She didn't believe that Mrs. Wu, who had been living in Bianjing for so many years, would say things she shouldn't say without knowing the good guys.
Mrs. Wu nodded and said with a smile: "What the Fourth Lady doesn't know is that the Sixth Lady's embroidery skills have already surpassed hers in the past six months. The Fourth Lady just returned to the capital not long ago, so it is normal for her not to know about this, and the Sixth Lady He warned me several times not to tell the Fourth Lady about this."
The implication is: the veil just now was indeed made by the Sixth Lady. My previous concealment was just to fulfill the Sixth Lady's wish. Don't let you, my sister, lose face.
