The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 220
The autumn wind blows, blows the curtains, and rolls up Liu's green silk.

Xiang Ye gently brushed Liu Shi's black hair behind her ears, picked up the egg wrapped in a handkerchief, put it on Liu Shi's cheek, and rolled it gently.

"Third Madam, don't worry, your face will be swollen after half an hour, and no one will be able to see it by then."

Mrs. Liu let out an irritable "hmm" and didn't make another sound.

The old lady locked up Mrs. Gui, but she didn't send Mrs. Du to reprimand her or punish her. Did she wait for her to plead guilty?
However, every time she went to see the old lady, whether it was for the matter of the third master and the children, or to plead guilty for doing something wrong, the old lady turned her away and only sent Mrs. Du to convey the order.

After hitting a wall for 15 years, Liu really didn't want to go.

After thinking wildly for a long time, the redness and swelling on her face gradually subsided, and she seemed to be the same as usual.

Xiang Ye picked up the rouge powder box and smoothed Liu Shi's face: "Third Madam, take a look, everything is fine."

Liu raised her eyes and looked at the bronze mirror, which was as bright as a peach blossom, just like in the past.

She showed a satisfied expression, picked a gold hairpin from the jewelry box and handed it over: "You did a good job, I reward you."

Seeing the golden hairpin, Xiang Ye's eyes sparkled, she accepted it excitedly, and knelt down to thank her: "Thank you, Third Madam."

Liu Shi likes to see the humble appearance of others being grateful to her, and she is even more satisfied when she sees this.

At this time, the voice of the servant girl Xiangcao came from outside the door: "Third Madam, Madam Ma has sent someone to deliver a letter."

Madam Ma?
What did she send a messenger for?
Mrs. Liu was puzzled, and told Xiang Ye: "You go to see Mrs. Ma's people."

"Yes."

Xiang Ye took the lead and left.

After a while, Xiang Ye returned to the main room with a letter: "Third Madam, Madam Ma only sent this letter, there is no other explanation."

The marriage between the two families has already been decided, so it should not be a letter to say about the marriage.

Liu Shi pondered in her heart, opened the letter and read it.

Without reading two lines, she stood up awkwardly, her expression changed greatly: "Cui Hengyue has come to Jinyang."

Xiang Ye's face turned pale in an instant, and the scene of Cui Hengyue's massacre that day emerged in her mind, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

That evil spirit, what is she doing in Jinyang?
wrong--

"Third Madam, didn't you say that those who enter the South Palace will never get out? Why did she go down the mountain? Did she come to Jinyang?"

"how could I know?"

Distraught, Liu yelled at Xiang Ye and went to check the date of the letter.

"No, she hasn't arrived in Jinyang yet, I have to find the third master."

Mrs. Liu stuffed the letter into her bosom, and went out. When she reached the door, she told Xiang Cao: "Go to the storeroom and pick some gifts, and let Mrs. Ma's people take them back, and ask him to thank Mrs. Ma on my behalf."

After giving the order, she hurried to the study.

When she arrived at the study, the servant told her: "Third madam, the third master has gone to Fuhai courtyard."

She hurried to Fuhai Courtyard again.

Mrs. Liu walked in a hurry, completely ignoring the eyes of her surroundings.

Next to the rockery not far from Fuhai Courtyard, Mrs. Cui was talking to Mrs. Cui: "Sister-in-law, you don't need to hide it from me, the old lady must have troubled you again.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you. Hey, isn't that Liu Shi? What is she going to Fuhai Courtyard in such a hurry for?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui turned around, just in time to see Mrs. Liu hastily entering the gate of Fuhai Courtyard.

She frowned slightly, thinking in her heart.

Cui Yongxuan and the old lady challenged her, blaming her for not telling them that Mrs. Wang and Cui Hengyue were not dead.

Now Mrs. Liu is in a hurry to go to Fuhai Court, is it to plead guilty?

Or is something wrong?

Mrs. Cui Er was very excited, and left after saying "I happened to ask the old lady for something, I'll go and see".

Mrs. Cui stood on the spot and thought for a while, then ordered Xiuyun in a low voice: "Send someone to keep an eye on Fuhai Courtyard, and report to me in time if the old lady makes any moves."

After giving the order, Mrs. Cui went back to the big room.

After Mrs. Liu entered the Fuhai Courtyard, she said to Tang Zhi who was guarding outside the main room: "I have something important to see the old lady and the third master, please pass it on."

Tang Zhi didn't move, and said expressionlessly: "The old lady said, if the third lady comes to plead guilty, then there is no need, the third master will punish you."

Liu's expression froze.

It turned out that the third master beat her because of the old lady's orders.

Why is this old godmother so vicious to her?

Liu lowered her eyes, not daring to reveal her true emotions: "I know I did something wrong, so I dare not ask the old lady for forgiveness.

"Since the old lady doesn't want to see me, I'll wait outside for the third master to come out."

Tang Zhi twitched the corners of his mouth: "Third Madam, please go ahead."

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at Mrs. Liu and stood guard at the door like a wooden stake.

At this time, Cui Yongxuan came out of the room: "Why are you here?"

As soon as she saw Cui Yongxuan, Liu Shi could no longer hide the fear in her heart, rushed up and grabbed Cui Yongxuan's arm, and said anxiously: "Third Master, Cui Hengyue."

"Second sister-in-law."

Cui Yongxuan pinched Liu Shi secretly, passed her and shouted forward.

Liu's whole body was shocked, then she put on a smile, turned around and called out "Second sister-in-law".

"Third Uncle came to see Mother, I wonder who it is for?" Second Madam Cui glanced at Liu Shi, and looked at Cui Yongxuan with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just came to talk to my mother." Cui Yongxuan explained casually, and then dragged Liu Shi away.

Cui Hengyue?
Mrs. Cui Er was thinking about this name in her heart, and suddenly a light flashed in her mind, isn't Cui Hengyue the daughter of Mrs. Wang and the third child?

She seemed to smell something unusual.
"Second lady."

Tang Zhi's voice pulled Mrs. Cui Er from her thoughts.

Mrs. Cui Er immediately smiled: "I want to see the old lady, please pass on a message."

A quarter of an hour later, while Mrs. Cui was still reporting the matter to Mrs. Cui, Cui Yongxuan broke in: "Aniang."

Seeing that there were still people in the room, Cui Yongxuan swallowed the words again.

Mrs. Cui Er took a look at Cui Yongxuan, then stood up: "Mother, I will take my leave first."

"Well, let's go." Mrs. Cui smiled kindly at her second daughter-in-law.

As soon as Second Madam Cui left, Cui Yongxuan walked up to Madam Cui and said in a low voice, "Mother, Cui Hengyue has gone down the mountain and is on her way to Jinyang."

"what?"

Mrs. Cui stood up in shock, with an expression of disbelief on her face: "Didn't the King of Chu have an order that those who enter the South Palace will never leave?
"How can she go down the mountain?"

Cui Yongxuan also wants to know the reason, but the most important thing now is not to investigate the reason, but to deal with it.

"Aniang, if she comes back, everyone in the capital will know that Mrs. Wang died this spring."

Mrs. Cui had calmed down now, she sat back in her chair and comforted her son: "Don't worry, she can't enter the gate of the capital.

"Leave this matter to Wei Niang, you can go back."

Cui Yongxuan was waiting for this sentence, so he left with peace of mind.

Mrs. Cui called Tang Zhi in and gave her a token: "Take this token and go to General Cui Minxing in the patrol battalion, and ask him to send troops to block all the roads entering the capital. Be sure to block Cui Hengyue in the city. outside.

"If you can catch someone alive, then you can catch him alive, if you can't, kill him on the spot"
