In the Ruyi Hall of the Shaoqing Mansion, the old lady glanced at the sky and her face became a little gloomy: "This girl Qingqing, why haven't you come back yet?"
The mother-in-law on the side advised: "My cousin is young after all. She rarely goes out to play for a while, so don't worry."
The old lady put the tea cup on the table and sighed: "I managed to save my life, and then I ran out and didn't come back. How could I not be worried? Hongyun, go tell the disciples." , Immediately report that my cousin is back."
Not long after the mother-in-law named Hongyun finished explaining, a maid quickly ran in: "Old madam, my cousin is back, something seems to have happened!"
"What happened?" The old lady held the tea cup tightly.
"The horse was frightened on the way back, so we rented a carriage and came back!"
The old lady stood up and asked quickly: "Is everyone okay?"
The maid composed herself and said, "My cousin looks fine, but her clothes and hair are a little messy. I told you to go back to Wanqing Residence and take a shower and change clothes before I come to say hello to you."
"This girl just doesn't make people worry." After hearing that the maid said that she was fine, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.
In Yaxin Garden, the eldest lady Qiao asked the same thing as the old lady: "Are you okay?"
After getting the answer, Mrs. Qiao sat quietly for a while and said calmly: "My cousin is really lucky, and she is always lucky."
"Yes." confidant Nanny Lian agreed softly.
Aunt Fang had been restless since Xin You went out. When she finally came back, she could tell she was embarrassed at a glance: "Girl, what's wrong with you!"
She held Xin You's arm with both hands and looked up and down. She felt relieved when she saw no injuries.
"The horse was frightened, but none of us were injured. Don't worry, nurse. I'll go take a bath and change clothes first, and I'll tell you more later."
Xin You's calmness infected everyone in Wanqingju. Those who fetched water and those who took out clothes got busy in an orderly manner.
It was summer, and I was busy with all those things. Xinyou washed it three times before she felt that the smell had disappeared.
Putting on a clean dress, she sat in front of the dressing table with her long hair hanging loosely, while Nanny Fang wiped her hair with a handkerchief.
With long hair like a waterfall, snow-white skin and peach cheeks, Grandma Fang gently combed Xin You's hair and couldn't help but sigh: "Our girl is so beautiful."
The girl in the mirror said softly: "Yes, it's so beautiful."
Aunt Fang only thought that the girl had said a wisecrack. Xiao Lian, who was combing her hair after bathing and changing clothes, paused after hearing this and secretly had red circles in her eyes.
With her hair half dry, Xin You took Xiao Lian to Ruyi Hall.
The old lady had already asked about the situation from the coachman and guard who were following her. When Xin You came in, she called them forward and looked at her carefully.
"It's great that you can be raised at home and have to go out. Now you have to suffer again."
"Qingqing makes grandma worried."
When the eldest lady Qiao stepped into Ruyi Hall, she saw Xin You begging the old lady for forgiveness.
"Why are you here now?" the old lady asked Mrs. Qiao.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at Xin You: "My daughter-in-law heard that the carriage Qing Qing was riding in was startled, and she was worried. Come and have a look."
She walked over and put a hand on Xin You's shoulder: "Is Qingqing okay?"
"fine."
"It's fine. I heard at noon that you haven't come back yet, so my aunt was a little worried, afraid that she might be tripped up by something."
Xin You bowed slightly and got rid of the hand: "I'm sorry for my aunt. I just happened to go out, so I stopped by Qianying Mountain to see if I can find the jade pendant I lost the day I fell off the cliff."
"But the piece your mother left for you?" the old lady asked.
Xin You nodded, looking a little sad.
Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Qingqing remembers your mother?"
Xin You met Qiao's eyes and smiled slightly: "I remembered some things from my childhood sporadically. Maybe my memory is slowly recovering, and maybe I will remember them all one day. I would also like to thank my grandmother and aunt for their care. "
Qiao's eyes flashed and she said with a smile, "It would be great if Qingqing can recover her memory."
Xin You licked her lips and glanced at Xiao Lian who was standing in the corner.
Xiaolian stepped forward quickly and knelt down in front of the old lady: "Old lady, please make the decision for our girl!"
The old lady was holding up a cup of tea and slowly blowing it on it, when Xiao Lian suddenly knelt down and the tea swayed.
She glanced at Xin You, frowned and asked, "Who is in charge? What happened?"
Xiaolian raised her head, with tears streaming down her face, and choked with sobs: "No one expected the horse to be frightened, but the driver went too far. Not only did he not try to stop the frightened horse, he abandoned the cart and ran for his life when he saw the oncoming bullock cart. Regardless of the girl's life or death..."
The more the old lady listened, the uglier her face became.
When she asked questions before, no one said anything about the driver abandoning the car.
"Call them to speak."
After a while, the coachman and two guards knelt in front of the old lady.
"When the horse was frightened, you jumped out of the car regardless of the fact that your cousin was still in the car?"
The coachman lay on the ground and defended: "How dare I leave my cousin behind? I was too afraid that my mind would go blank and I accidentally got thrown off."
The old lady looked at the two guards.
The two guards looked at each other and both said that the incident happened too suddenly and they did not see clearly.
The driver stared at the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was so urgent at that time. Apart from Cousin and Xiaolian who were sitting in the carriage, who could have noticed whether he was thrown off the carriage or jumped off on his own initiative?
The money is still useful. He doesn't need the two boys to speak for him, as long as he doesn't get involved. And the cousin girl would definitely not be able to wipe her face and argue with him about driving the carriage. What's the use of having only a little maid left to make a fuss?
"I saw it with my own eyes. You jumped out of the car on your own initiative!" Xiaolian said angrily.
The coachman looked aggrieved: "Old slave, you are wronged!"
Mrs. Qiao said: "Old Zhangtou, how can you quarrel with the people around your cousin? Are there any rules anymore?"
"I'm wrong, I don't dare anymore."
Xin You listened quietly and sneered in her heart.
If Miss Kou, a thin-skinned girl who lives under the influence of others, would have the nerve to let her personal maid continue to make trouble after hearing what the eldest lady said, she might even have to apologize for Xiaolian.
It's a pity that she is not Miss Kou.
"Uncle Zhang is indeed wrong."
The girl's voice was as cold as jade, clear and clear. This opening immediately attracted everyone's attention, with surprise on everyone's face.
"Qingqing——" the old lady shouted, with disapproval hidden in her eyes.
At present, there is no one else to testify except Xiaolian. Do the girl's family have to argue with a coachman?
That's too ugly.
"I was so panicked at the time that I didn't pay too much attention. I said Uncle Zhang was wrong because he was a coachman and it was his duty to drive well. No matter how he got off the carriage, it would be a dereliction of duty to let the carriage fall into a situation where no one was in control. Grandma, what do you think?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Qingqing has really grown up and understands the truth." Then she stopped smiling and looked at the coachman with a straight face.
The coachman froze and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Qiao.
