step by step

Chapter 133
Mrs. Cui secretly hated the old man for being too disrespectful to her, but she still smiled on the surface, and said slowly: "It's like this, although nothing really happened between Miss Xiyun and Tong Lao Liu. , but there are many rumors that are not true, it is inevitable that some people will make a fuss about this matter. If Xiyun married, our Xue family will release news that the two of them had some relationship before, but it was just a misunderstanding. In this way, those rumors It will also break down without attack, and the relationship between Xue House and Ye House can also be reconciled."

Her words are extremely skillful, one is to save Xiyun's reputation, and the other is to promote the appearance of harmony between the two families.

She had thought about the matter so thoroughly, she didn't believe that Mr. Qi could refuse her request.

After hearing this, Aunt Qiu nodded secretly in her heart, she already had [-]% or [-]% confidence in her heart.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Elder Qi frowned, "The relationship between the Ye family and the Xue family, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Madam to shake up the marriage of a maid."

Madam Cui's face darkened, and she was extremely annoyed.

What is indecent? !
She had already made it very clear that as long as Ye Xiyun married into their house, their Xue family would naturally not treat Xiyun badly, and would provide her with good food and drink. Isn't that considerate enough?

"Old Qi!" Mrs. Cui became a little annoyed, she didn't expect that the old man would not give her face so much, she stood up immediately, and said with a cold face: "The master gave Ye Fu this face because of his friendship for many years , Let Aunt Qiu and I discuss this matter in person, is it true that the Ye family is not even willing to sell this face to my Xue family?"

Hearing this, Elder Qi looked directly at Mrs. Cui, not to be outdone, and said coldly: "Madam, is this trying to force me to be a maidservant of Yefu?!"

Madam Cui's face turned red in an instant, "What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to make irresponsible remarks?"

"Outsiders are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks? Since Mrs. Hahaha is well versed in this way, why do you want to make things difficult for my Ye family?"

Old Qi stroked his beard and laughed, with a bit of contempt in his laughter.

"The threshold of my Ye family has always been very high. I will never let a person who is not innocent and intends to spoil women to marry a maid in the mansion. If people in my Ye family know what Madam is asking for, I am afraid they will kill you." Wait until you hit the door." Qi Lao said with a righteous and stern look, "I advise Madam not to do such a degrading thing."

Mrs. Cui felt unprecedented humiliation and anger.

She has been used to being pampered since she was a child, she has never been so wronged in ordinary times, and now Mr. Qi contradicts her so shamelessly, which makes her furious.

The maidservant of the Xue family who was accompanying her was also stunned by what Old Qi said just now, "It's demeaning".

The old man's words were too arrogant, and he didn't care about his wife's face and dignity at all.

"you"

Mrs. Cui was about to speak when she felt Aunt Qiu who was beside her gently tug on her.

"Ma'am, don't get angry, let's talk about business." Aunt Qiu lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

They are all smart people, so naturally they wouldn't tear their faces apart on this occasion, otherwise, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

Mrs. Cui gave Qi Lao a hard look, then sat down and took a sip from the teacup.

Aunt Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Elder Qi, and said with a smile: "Elder Qi's words are indeed reasonable. The Ye family and the Xue family have been friends for many years. How dare we act rashly? Our Xue family does not want Miss Xiyun Being belittled by others. We came here today to help Miss Xiyun get out of her predicament. How about this, Mr. Qi, can you let us meet Miss Xiyun, so that we can convey the good intentions of the Xue family so that we can discern Her mind?"

There was a bit of humility in Aunt Qiu's words, which made it impossible to refuse.

Qi Lao pondered for a moment, his face gradually calmed down, as if he was considering how to reply.

Aunt Qiu and Mrs. Cui looked at each other, secretly happy.

Although Qi Lao's temperament is weird, he is not completely ignorant of good and evil. His hesitation shows that he still has some scruples.

"Okay, I'll ask Xiyun before I give you two answers." Elder Qi finally compromised.

Seeing Mr. Qi's back, Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

As long as Na Xiyun is called out, they don't believe that they can't talk about a little maid with a few mouths.

At that time, even if this old thing can continue to be stubborn, it will not change the facts.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu couldn't help but exchanged glances, both of them were gleaming with pride.

Qi Lao's speed was really fast, but he returned within half a stick of incense.

"Xiyun is suffering from the wind and cold, I am really powerless to introduce you two." Old Qi sighed and said apologetically.

The smiles on the faces of Mrs. Cui and Aunt Qiu froze instantly.

"How could you be sick?! What should I do, but have you invited a doctor?" Mrs. Cui asked anxiously.

"The doctor has already gone to see it. He said that he has caught a cold and needs to rest for a few days. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to see guests in these two days. Madam, please forgive me."

Hearing this answer, Mrs. Cui couldn't help being stunned, "What? No visitors?! Then Aunt Qiu and I made this trip in vain?!"

An embarrassing smile flashed across Aunt Qiu's face, and she couldn't help but slander in her heart, this old man really didn't know how to be sympathetic to others, so he didn't give them face, so she had no choice but to respond: "This is our negligence, and we rushed to visit without asking first. "

Seeing Aunt Qiu's appearance like this, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but secretly scolded her for being stupid, how could such a good opportunity be missed?

"Old Qi, we'll just have a few words with Miss Xiyun at the door of her room, it won't take too long." Mrs. Cui is very sincere.

Qi Lao looked at the large group of servants and strong men behind Mrs. Xue's family, wondering: "Ma'am, I don't know something. My wife ordered Xiyun to rest, and no one else is allowed to enter."

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she immediately became anxious, "It's okay, I can go in with Aunt Qiu, you can rest assured, we will never disturb her to rest." She paused and suddenly thought of something, and then Then he said: "It's just that Tong Lao Liu's mother felt extremely guilty for Miss Xiyun, and she came with her seriously injured son. I hope that Mr. Qi can make it easier for her to come here because she is old. She is allowed to kowtow in apology outside the door."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Cui winked at Aunt Qiu again, and the two stood up together, their gazes fell on Mr. Qi, as if they were about to persuade him if they didn't agree.

When Old Qi heard this, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He did not expect that Mrs. Cui would be able to prepare so well, obviously she came prepared, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Thinking of Ye Zhaoyan's previous instructions, he instantly understood something.
