"Yunqi, don't be rude!"
Qi Yunzhan turned around and scolded him as if it was true.
"Yes, His Highness King Yong!"
"Miss Taoye and I had some fate before, so we suddenly met each other today. I was just happy in my heart. I didn't mean to offend Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Rong!"
In front of everyone, Wei Yunqi spoke without any inhibitions.
Mrs. Cao glanced at Taoye with dissatisfaction, Gu Yunqing's face was cold, but she did not take her anger out on Taoye, just thinking that Wei Yunqi was jealous of the hunting ground.
"Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Rong also came here today to light the lamps. What a coincidence!"
At this time, Mrs. Wang, the old lady of the Wei family, also came over with the help of her maid.
Wang was a good dancer. Although she was angry at Rong Jiu for severely injuring her beloved grandson, she didn't see anything on her face.
After a while of greetings, they went to the front to light the lamp.
Although all living beings are equal before the Buddha, there are differences in this equality.
The lamps lit in the main hall range from big to small, the big ones are like buckets, and the small ones are as small as the mouth of a lamp. After all, the money to light lamps here is not low, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The Cao family believed in these the most, and considered themselves to be the most sincere in serving Buddha, so they chose the biggest point. As for the Wei family, the head of the Wei family is Zhongshu Ling, and with His Majesty's favor, there is no shortage of money. So people from both places still walked to the same place.
"The fourth prince please come first!"
Mrs. Cao had a flattering smile on her face, and was much more attentive than when she met the prince.
"Then I have the audacity to take the lead!"
Qi Yunzhan looked modest but did not refuse. He took the fire from the novice's hand and went to light the one in the middle of the stage. This was for his mother and concubine.
After lighting it, Wei Yunqi didn't wait for anyone to give in. He naturally took the fire from Qi Yunzhan's hand and went to light the lamp for the old lady of the Wei family.
Cao's face suddenly became a little bad. Prince Yong was a noble person in Tianhuang, so she had to give way. Although the Wei family had a big official position, they did not have a title. In terms of dignity, they could not compare with the Duke of Jingguo.
But after all, she was King Yong's maternal family, so she could only swallow this breath.
"Donor please!"
After Wei Yun finished starting, the novice monk on the side offered the fire to Mr. Cao.
Although Mrs. Cao was unhappy, she still took the fire with a kind face, straightened her face and lit her own lamp.
Tao Ye, who was standing next to Gu Yunqing, felt uncomfortable with Wei Yunqi's eyes, so he backed away from the maids.
But suddenly, there was a strong force behind her, and Taoye fell forward unprepared. In front of her was a copper frame enshrining many small Buddhist lamps. More importantly, if she fell down like this, the copper frame would He would fall towards the old lady who was lighting the lamp. Even if he did not hit the old lady, he would destroy the lamps of Concubine Xian and the old lady of the Wei family.
Without any time to think, Taoye suddenly twisted her waist, quickly grabbed the person next to her, and used the force to fall to that side.
This action was very fast. When everyone came to their senses, the maid who was dragged up by Taoye happened to bump into the Buddhist lamp on the small iron stand next to her. She was burned by the pouring hot oil and screamed sharply.
"How is this going?"
"You are so impolite that you act so disrespectfully in front of the Buddha!"
"Old lady, calm down!"
The hall instantly became lively.
The servants of the Wei family helped Wang and took a few steps away. Cao was supported by Luo Shi and Wang's mother on the left and right, with an angry look on her face.
It happened that something happened when he was lighting the lamp, or it was a maid in his house. Mrs. Cao's original kindness had long since disappeared, and she stared angrily at the maid on the ground who was still covering her face and screaming.
"Old madam, I'm sorry, it's not Pearl's fault. It was Taoye who couldn't stand firm and pulled Pearl, so she fell onto the Buddhist lamp!"
Feicui, the first-class maid next to Cao, knelt down and said.
"Old madam, we also saw that Taoye fell down first, and Pearl was pulled behind!"
The other two first-class maids also echoed.
"Fortunately nothing happened? It's just that several Buddhist lamps were damaged..."
"Buddha forgive me!"
Luo Shi glanced regretfully at the broken Buddhist lamp on the ground, clasped his hands together, and bowed to the Buddha statue.
Hearing this, Mrs. Cao's gaze on Taoye became even colder. This bitch actually ruined her important event of worshiping Buddha.
"Forgive me, mother, but this girl sprained her foot yesterday. She may have lost her footing just now, so..."
Gu Yunqing glanced at Tao Ye accusingly, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a frivolous voice: "The maids around Mrs. Rong are all as beautiful as flowers, but their eyes are not very good!"
"But this junior can clearly see that it was the maid who fell on the ground who nudged the person when no one was paying attention, and then pushed her hard!"
Taoye was still thinking about how to deal with it, when she heard Wei Yunqi's frivolous voice again, but this time no one paid attention to his rudeness, especially the first-class maids on Cao's side, who looked ugly. , there was even a look of panic on Jade's face: "I don't dare to lie, I just saw Tao Ye pulling a handful of pearls!"
"Except for Jade, can you two clearly see what happened just now?"
Gu Yunqing's face was slightly cold. His son only took in a common roommate, and these people in the house were causing trouble all day long.
"Slaves... slaves..."
The two maids happened to be on the left and right of Pearl who fell to the ground. The push just now was very quiet. One of the maids could see clearly, but the other really didn't know. However, they had just followed what Jade said.
Gu Yunqing's demeanor was noble, and his mistress' majesty was fully displayed. The two maids were shocked by Wei Yunqi's words, and they couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"Taoye, tell yourself, what happened just now?"
Gu Yunqing looked at Taoye.
"Back to the old madam, as madam said, the slave did feel someone pushed her back hard just now. She was afraid of hurting the old madam, so she pulled the person next to her out of desperation!"
Taoye lowered his body and said respectfully.
"Zhenzhu is from Shou'antang. He and Miss Taoye have no grievances recently or in the past, so why harm others!"
Mother Wang looked at Tao Ye with contempt.
"Unlucky thing!"
Mrs. Cao scolded angrily, and this scolding was not just about Tao Ye.
Although she dislikes Tao Ye, she is not stupid. There is no need for the second young master of the Wei family to lie, and the two maids hesitated in front of Gu. The girl pushed first.
If she were in the house, she could pretend to be confused, punish the girl Tao Ye, and suppress the Gu family, but with so many outsiders around, how could she ruin her reputation as a respected person.
But it happened that Mother Wang next to me also added such a senseless remark.
Asking why the pearl harmed others was not to embarrass himself in front of the Gu family and the Wei family, and besides, the fourth prince was still there.
"You're reckless, Mother Wang, go and ask the mother-in-law outside to come in and help this girl, Pearl, back!"
