At this time, everyone in Shaoqing's house was busy with New Year's Eve matters. The second wife, Mrs. Zhu, was in charge of the house and was even more busy.
Duan Yunyan brought a little maid with him and wandered over from the stage.
There was residual snow piled next to the bushes, and two house sparrows were jumping around.
Duan Yunyan approached, and two house sparrows flew up and stood on a high branch.
"Mido Sakura, go get some millet."
"Girl, do you want to feed the house sparrows?" Green Sakura asked with a smile.
"Yeah. Go quickly."
"Girl, don't go elsewhere, just wait here for your servant." Midoriya warned, turned and left.
With no maid by his side and no one around, Duan Yunyan waved to the house sparrows and imitated the birds' calls: "Chichichi, chichichi..."
After Zhu became the housekeeper, the servants in the mansion became much more submissive to the four girls, and Duan Yunyan also clearly felt that the atmosphere was relaxed.
The girl in the red coat and skirt had a healthy blush on her face, looking innocent and innocent.
This romance stung Duan Yunhua's eyes.
"Jiji, come down here and feed you..."
"It's so noisy." Duan Yunhua looked ferocious as he bent down to pick up the stones on the ground.
"what are you doing?"
With a scolding, Duan Yunyan, who heard the movement, turned his head and saw Xin You grabbing Duan Yunhua's wrist and a piece of gravel falling to the ground.
"Let go!" Duan Yunhua shouted to Xin You with a stern look, feeling flustered and regretful in his heart.
What happened to her? What were you doing just now?
She just thought Duan Yunyan was noisy and wanted her to shut up...
Looking at Duan Yunhua's changing expression, Xin You knew what she was going to do.
Not long ago, when the younger generation paid New Year's greetings to their elders, Xin You saw a new picture, which was about Duan Yunyan.
The girl in red looked up at the house sparrows on the branch with a sweet smile, but soon a stone flew over and hit her temple.
The last scene was Duan Yunyan lying on his back on the ground, with bright red staining the remaining snow.
The murderer was not seen in the picture, and it was impossible to tell whose hand the flying stones came from.
Xin You quickly judged from Yun Yan's clothes in the middle of the picture that the incident happened today.
There was not enough time to find out who had such hatred for Duan Yunyan, so she could only quietly pay attention to Duan Yunyan's movements. When the place where Duan Yunyan stopped coincided with the scene, she discovered Duan Yunhua based on the direction in which the pebbles were flying.
For a moment, Xin You felt unbelievable.
"Second sister, cousin, what are you doing?" Duan Yunyan walked over and asked curiously.
"nothing--"
Xin You interrupted Duan Yunhua without politeness: "She just wanted to hit you with a stone."
Duan Yunyan lowered his head to look at the stones on the ground, and looked at Duan Yunhua in horror: "Second sister——"
At this moment, Duan Yunhua reacted very quickly: "Fourth sister, don't listen to her nonsense. We have never even had a fight. Why should I hit you?"
Although Duan Yunyan is young, he is not so easy to coax: "Then what did the second sister do with the stone? I just saw it. Cousin Qing grabbed your hand to prevent the stone from being thrown."
Duan Yunhua's face changed slightly: "I see that you keep shouting at the house sparrows in the tree and they can't come down. I'll help you drive them down. Fourth sister, you don't really believe Kou Qingqing's nonsense, do you?"
Duan Yunyan pursed his lips.
In fact, she only saw the stone on the ground, but did not see the second sister holding the stone.
"Girl--" Lu Ying rushed back after taking the millet, and when she saw Xin You and Duan Yunhua, she cast doubtful eyes on them.
[In view of the general environment,
Duan Yunyan looked at Duan Yunhua, then at Xin You, and took Lu Ying's hand: "I don't want to play anymore, I want to go find my mother."
The little girl hesitated for a moment and bowed to Xin You: "Thank you, cousin Qing."
Duan Yunhua was annoyed when he heard this: "Fourth sister, what do you mean? You believed Kou Qingqing's words, do you really think I will hit you with a stone?"
green cherry eyes
Opened wide suddenly.
Hit the girl with a stone? What happened just now when she was away?
Duan Yunyan tilted his head slightly: "No."
"Then why did you thank Kou Qingqing?"
The little girl looked at Duan Yunhua and said slowly: "Even if the second sister uses stones to drive away the sparrows, there is still a risk of hitting me, so I want to thank cousin Qing. Luying, let's go."
Seeing Duan Yunyan walking away with the maid, Duan Yunhua looked at Xin You fiercely: "Kou Qingqing, what evidence do you have that I wanted to hit Fourth Sister? Did I throw the stone out?"
Duan Yunhua's distorted expression made Xin You shake her head: "I just told the fourth cousin the facts I saw. As for whether the fourth cousin believes it or not, whether you admit it or not, that's your business."
Duan Yunyan's reaction made Xin You feel that it was worth "meddling" this time.
"You deliberately ruined my reputation!"
"If you think so, then we can go talk to grandma."
"Who has time to talk to you?" Duan Yunhua snorted and walked away quickly.
Even if Kou Qingqing says it is unfounded, once word spreads, people will think whatever they want, and it will not be good for her.
When Duan Yunyan came over, his second wife, Mrs. Zhu, was entertaining people from Guchangbo Mansion.
Perhaps because of the marriage between Shaoqing's Mansion and Guchang Bo's Mansion, many more people came to pay New Year's greetings than in previous years. Some families with little contact with each other also sent servants to send greeting cards.
Seeing that his mother was very busy, Duan Yunyan waited obediently.
Mrs. Zhu got an opportunity and asked her daughter, "Yan'er, why don't you go play?"
"Mother, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her daughter's serious look, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but laugh: "What's going on?"
"I was just watching the birds on the branches in the garden. The second sister was holding up a stone and was stopped by cousin Qing. The second sister said she wanted to help me drive away the birds, and cousin Qing said the second sister wanted to hit me..."
Zhu's expression suddenly changed: "Are you hurt?"
"No, the stone fell to the ground."
"What's going on? Did you see clearly?"
Duan Yunyan shook his head: "I didn't see it. My mother taught me not to argue with others easily about things that I'm not sure about. I'll come back to you."
"Yan'er did the right thing." Mrs. Zhu stroked her daughter's head, suppressed her anger, finished what she was doing, and went to Wanqing Residence.
Xin You had long expected that Zhu would come.
"Second aunt."
"Qingqing, you are a smart girl. My second aunt just said it bluntly. What does the second girl want to do with the stone?"
Xin You didn't hide it either: "I happened to see them when I was wandering in the garden. At that time, Duan Yunhua picked up the stone with a fierce look on his face. He didn't look like he was trying to beat a house bird. Duan Yunhua and I have had a quarrel for a long time. These words It may be difficult to convince others, and I won’t bring this matter up to my grandmother. Whether you believe it or not, my second aunt can make her own decision.”
"I believe..." Zhu's eyes were heavy and her voice was low, "I believe..."
That was her precious daughter. Not to mention that the cousin was a smart and reliable person, but she did not dare to take her daughter's safety lightly even if she held on to the possibility.
"Has the fourth cousin ever offended Duan Yunhua?" Xin You asked her doubts.
Zhu smiled: "Has Qingqing ever offended your aunt?"
When a person's heart is crooked, it is no longer surprising to do anything.
Mrs. Zhu solemnly thanked Xin You and left with a calm expression.
