Chapter 327 Portrait
"She was pushed down." Xiao Yan replied concisely.

"What?" Fourteen was startled, "Who pushed it?"

Pushing people into the lake in winter, and from such a high bridge, or such a young girl, is fatal.

"I don't know the name." Xiao Yan's nose itched and he couldn't help sneezing.

Fourteen tucked the quilt tighter for him: "Is it not warm enough, do you want to cover it with another bed?"

"That's enough, mother, you don't need to take it anymore. It's not cold." Xiao Yan shook his head and continued, "At that time we went to see the plum blossoms in the plum grove, and there were several young ladies who circled around Ah Shen. Ah Shen broke off two green branches. One branch was given to Ah Heng, and the other was taken away by one of them, the one that fell into the water."

"Then another person also went to Ah Shen and asked him to break a branch for her. Ah Shen seemed to be annoyed by her and refused to help her, saying that she had hands and asked her to fold it herself."

"Then that person cried." Xiao Yan said, "As soon as she cried, Ah Shen got annoyed and said he wanted to go back."

Then a group of people went back the same way, and when they got to the bridge, the little girl who didn't get the flowers was so angry that she reached out to snatch the flowers from the little girl named A Yuan.Ah Yuan naturally refused to give it to her, so the two started fighting each other.

During the fight, the other little girl got angry and let go of her hand suddenly, and the little girl A Yuan fell on the bridge.

"When she stood up from the ground, she didn't stand still, and that person suddenly pushed her and pushed her into the lake." Xiao Yan recounted the general process, "Mother, it's probably like this gone."

"At that time, there were no adults there, and no servants passing by. I saw that the person who fell into the lake could not float, so I jumped down to save her."

Today, because of the birthday banquet, all the servants were transferred to the front yard to serve.There are only a limited number of people left in the backyard, all of whom are maids and maids, and except for the personal servants, most of them help in the kitchen and flower hall.The location of Merlin and the lake is a bit off, and almost no one goes there.

The seven or eight children playing together, although the boys are accompanied by servants and the girls are accompanied by maidservants, are still children, and the oldest is no more than 15 years old.They were also frightened, including the maidservant of the little girl named A Yuan. When Shisi passed by, she saw her crying by the lake, but she didn't dare to go into the water to save others.

Xiao Yan's water skills were taught by the people in the Huangliang Escort Bureau. Some of them were particularly good at water. They walked the darts with Shisi last summer and taught Xiao Yan how to float.

"Ayan." Fourteen was silent for a moment, and said, "It's a good thing for you to save people, and mother supports you. But you must also remember what mother said, and when you encounter such things in the future, don't be impulsive. Make sure you're safe before helping others. I'd be sad if you got hurt."

"I remember mother." Xiao Yan nodded and said, "I will protect myself."

……

Such a change happened suddenly, and it was not an accident, but a deliberate one.Thinking about it, Meng Changhuai and his wife will have a headache.

But these are not related to Fourteen's business, she stayed in the room to take care of Xiao Yan, and never left the room from noon to night.

While she was hiding away, another incident happened before Mrs. Meng dealt with the matter of falling into the water.Meng Changhuai's birthday banquet was destined not to go smoothly.

With an open-minded personality like Mrs. Meng, she was so angry that she passed out directly, and the government doctor gave her an injection to wake her up.The banquet was over, but the people in the whole mansion were more nervous than during the day, and they couldn't sleep all night.

These, Fourteen did not know until the next day.Yinzhu, who had gone out, returned in the early morning, and heard the lively rumors of the Jiedushi's birthday banquet outside.

"What?" Fourteen dropped the spoon he was going to scoop up the porridge into the bowl, and stared at Yinzhu dumbfounded, "Say it again."

"It's been rumored outside that Mr. Meng's second daughter-in-law had an affair with a foreigner at his birthday banquet, and Meng Erlang personally broke it." Yinzhu repeated.

"Really?" she asked.

"I don't know, but you are spreading the takeaway."

That seems to be true, otherwise who would make the rumor about the second son?

It's the 50th birthday, fourteen can't imagine the heartache of Meng Changhuai and his wife at this time.

"Is Miss Xiao here?" At this moment, Chanjuan's voice came from outside.

Yinzhu walked over to open the door, and a gust of cold wind happened to pass by, pouring in a wave of coldness.

Fourteen looked inside, and thought the wind couldn't get in through the screen and the curtain.

"Chanjuan, what's the matter?" Fourteen asked, "How is Mrs. Meng?"

"Madam has already taken the medicine prescribed by the government doctor, thank you Mrs. Xiao for your concern." Chanjuan replied, "The master ordered the slaves to come and look for Mrs. Xiao."

"Looking for me?" Fourteen was puzzled: Shouldn't the Meng family be dealing with their housework at this time? Why did you ask her to go there?
"Yes." Chanjuan only replied, and didn't say much else.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Fourteen paused, then got up and said to Yinzhu, "You stay and take care of Ah Yan, and when he wakes up, tell him that I have something to leave for a while."

"Yes, my lady."

The two went all the way to Mrs. Meng's room, and the Meng family members were all gathered here.

When Fourteen came in, he saw Mrs. Meng dressed neatly, sitting at the head with Meng Changhuai.It's just that the haggardness visible to the naked eye can't be covered even with light makeup.

Mrs. Du was serving Mrs. Meng, while Meng Yuhe actually knelt on the ground with Mrs. Li.

This made Fourteen wonder, what was he doing kneeling down?
Just wondering, Xiao Li on the ground heard her coming, and suddenly glared angrily.

"?" Fourteen was sure that he was staring at her.

When did she offend this one?

"Fourteen, come here." Mrs. Meng beckoned her to go.

Mrs. Du stepped aside, and Chanjuan added a chair beside Mrs. Meng.

After Shisi sat down, Madam Meng said: "This is a bad thing for our family, and you shouldn't be involved. But it happened to be related to you, so I had to call you here. Please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter." Fourteen is still at a loss, does it have anything to do with her?

Chanjuan came over with a stack of papers and saw that there were quite a few, dozens of them.

She handed the paper to Fourteen, and Fourteen reached out to take it in doubt, and opened it to read under Mrs. Meng's gesture.

From seeing the content on the first picture, her expression gradually changed from doubt to surprise.

The paintings on these papers were all portraits. After flipping through more than a dozen sheets in succession, Shishi stopped because the paintings were of the same person.

is her.

Only two or three of these are well-drawn portraits, the rest are distant views.There is the appearance of her riding a horse and galloping, and the appearance of repelling the bandits with a knife.Or the back view of Xiao Yan walking forward, or the silhouette of stopping in front of a street stall.

"Who painted this?" She held the painting in her hand and asked Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng opened her mouth, but no words came out.Instead, he raised his hand to hold his forehead, showing a painful expression.

Meng Changhuai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Fourteen and said, "It seems that Mrs. Xiao didn't know about this matter."

Fourteen looked confused: "What did Master Meng say?"

Seeing Shisi behave like this, Meng Changhuai believed Meng Yuhe's words. This matter was indeed his wishful thinking and had nothing to do with Xiao Shishiniang.

"She's lying!" At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly screamed, pointing at Fourteen, "She must be lying!"

"Shut up!" Meng Changhuai was so angry that he slapped the table, "You don't follow women's morals first, and you bite and slander others later. Do you really think that my Meng family dare not do anything to you?"

"I didn't! She was lying!" Xiao Li's clothes were still intact, but her hair was disheveled, and she had already lost her usual dignity. At this time, she kept shouting like a crazy woman, "How could she not?" Do you know? If the two people hadn’t given and received the music secretly, it would be impossible to draw such detailed things on those paintings!”

"Shut up!" Mrs. Meng couldn't bear it anymore, "Chanjuan!"

Chanjuan understood, walked quickly to Xiao Li and gave her two slaps.

"Clap!"

These two slaps were fast and loud, and after Chanjuan pushed away, Xiao Li's face became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You dirty slave!" She wanted to fight back, but was immediately held down by two strong servants standing behind her.

Fourteen looked at Meng Changhuai and his wife, then at Mrs. Li, and finally at Meng Yuhe, who was kneeling on the ground two steps away from Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Li, and gradually understood where this incident had something to do with her...
