Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 16
Qiao Shi glanced over and said, "What Qingqing said is that the coachman is negligent and should be punished."

"Eldest lady!" The coachman's expression changed.

Qiao's mask was frosty: "Don't make trouble again, Cousin girl has been wronged, how can you get over it just by asking for mercy!"

The coachman was stunned for a moment, as if he had come to his senses, he kowtowed heavily to Xinyou: "Your cousin is kind, so let me forgive this old slave for this mistake."

The maid who stayed outside the door for a while couldn't help but quietly looked inside.

Under all kinds of eyes, Xinyou's face was very calm, which contrasted with the noisy driver who begged for mercy.

The old lady remained silent, interested in seeing how her granddaughter would respond.

Xinyou let the coachman make trouble for a while, then said calmly: "Auntie's words made Qingqing ashamed. I didn't want to embarrass Uncle Zhang because I was wronged, but because I didn't want the Shaoqing Mansion to mess up the rules of clear rewards and punishments. Today there are righteous men who took action. I am not injured, but just because I am not injured, you cannot ignore Uncle Zhang's responsibility as a coachman."

She paused for a moment and looked at the old lady: "If the dereliction of duty is not punished this time, others will see it as a fluke, and will not take the safety of grandma, uncle and aunt at heart in the future. If something happens, it will not be caused by Qingqing. the reason."

The old lady nodded unconsciously, and looked at Mrs. Qiao.

Xin You also looked at her, and said word by word: "Qingqing's grievances are nothing, Auntie doesn't have to worry about me, she can act as she pleases."

Xiao Lian knelt down and listened, her eyes sparkling.

The girl really knows how to speak!

Qiao's face was expressionless, and her hand holding the handkerchief was tightened: "Qingqing is right, you should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punished for demerit. Old Zhangtou, you can go to Zhuangzi to look at the garden from now on."

The coachman was shocked: "Ma'am, the old servant's family is all in the mansion, please forgive me!"

Qiao's face sank: "If it wasn't for your hard work, you should be kicked out."

The coachman sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face.

The coachman is considered a fat job, not to mention the rewards when going out, if you go to another house as a guest, you will be entertained with delicious food and drinks.Going to Zhuangzi to look at the garden compared with it is tantamount to being assigned.

The more the coachman thought about it, the more frustrated he became, but he still had hope in his heart, so he didn't dare to say anything.

The old lady waved the driver and the two guards to leave, and said to Mrs. Qiao: "These people in the mansion should take a good look at it. If they are too lax, troubles will easily arise."

"My daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Qiao glanced at Xin You, and asked the old lady, "I don't know who the righteous man who saved Qingqing is, so my daughter-in-law should be ready to thank you."

The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, said lightly: "Just now I asked the guards, they said that the righteous man didn't leave a name, so that's all for the time being, if we can find out the identity of the righteous man in the future."

Xin You lowered her eyes, covering the waves in her eyes, and became even more curious about the identity of the man in Zhu Yi.

The two guards clearly knew the identity of the man in Zhu Yi, even if they avoided talking about it to her, they would not hide it from the old lady.

The old lady said so because she knew the identity of the man in Zhu Yi.

Is the name of Jinlinwei Zhenfu envoy alone so hard to avoid?
Xinyou was puzzled, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face.

Seeing that she didn't say much, the wrinkles on the old lady's face stretched a little.

It was the age when love first started, and when you met a young man like Pan An Songyu, who had the grace to save your life, once you moved your mind, it would cause countless troubles.

That man, the Shaoqing Mansion, is out of his league.

Besides——the old lady looked at the girl in front of her, and smiled at the corner of her mouth.

When she first came to Shaoqing's mansion, she only knew that the girl was crying, and she gradually grew into a look she was satisfied with. In the future, she will get married with her eldest grandson, and get the best of both worlds.

"I was shocked today, go back and rest, and don't come here to say hello tomorrow."

Xin You saluted the old lady and Mrs. Qiao, and left with Xiaolian.

Mrs. Qiao wanted to leave, but was kept by the old lady.

"Qingqing is a filial piety, and she will be sixteen in a blink of an eye, and Chen'er is not young anymore, it's time to settle their affairs." The old lady took a sip of tea and looked at Qiao with expectation in her eyes.

Qiao said with a smile: "The two children have indeed reached the age to talk about marriage, but Qingqing is still raising her body and her memory is recovering. It's better to wait for her to recover before discussing these things. What do you think?"

The old lady stared at Mrs. Qiao for a moment, although she felt a little dissatisfied, she still didn't disrespect her daughter-in-law: "Let's wait for Qingqing to recover."

Mrs. Qiao smiled, said goodbye and went back to Yaxin Garden.

As soon as she entered Wanqing's room, Xiao Lian wrapped her arms around Xin You: "Girl, you are so amazing!"

Although she suspected that the frightened horse was not an accident, she had no evidence, she thought it was the only way to let it go, but she didn't expect to follow the girl's order, at least the black-hearted coachman would not get well.

"Xiao Lian, what's going on here?" Mother Fang heard something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

Only now did Xiao Lian have time to talk about the things on the road in detail.

After hearing this, Mother Fang's hands and feet were cold, she took Xin You's hand and tremblingly said, "This is not my grandfather's house, it's clearly a tiger's den and a wolf's den. There is such a person hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to harm the girl, what can you do!"

Xin You patted Nanny Fang's hand: "With the help of Nanny and Xiaolian, I believe I will get through this difficult time. Nanny, you should pay more attention outside these few days to see if there are any rumors about Shaoqing's Mansion."

"it is good."

When only Xiao Lian was left in the room, the little maid knelt down.

"Little Lian, what are you doing?"

Xiao Lian raised her head, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes: "Thanks to you, the girl will not be exposed to the wilderness, and her injustice will never see the light of day. Xiao Lian kowtowed to you, and from now on, you are Xiao Lian's other master."

Xin You stretched out her hand to stop her: "That doesn't have to be the case."

"Let the servant girl kowtow to you a few times, so that the servant girl will feel better."

After hearing this, Xin You let go of her hand.

Xiao Lian firmly kowtowed her head three times, and said in her mouth: "This is from the servant girl, this is from the girl's behalf, this is from the master's wife's behalf. From then on, the girl and the master's wife are reunited... ..."

After knocking three times, she didn't get up, but knocked another one: "Miss Xiao Lianxie took this in, thank you for letting the servant girl rely on again..."

In this tiger's lair and wolf's lair, if the girl hadn't appeared, she would have been smashed to pieces.

"Get up quickly."

Xiao Lian wiped her tears and stood up, thinking of her current situation, she was a little worried: "Girl, can we really get through this difficult time?"

Xinyou looked at the plantain swaying in the wind through the window.

Plantains are as green as emeralds, vibrant and pleasing to the eye.

"Just find out the murderer." Xin You said calmly.

By this time, the murderer who killed Kou Qingqing had surfaced.

"The murderer you speak of is—"

"Mrs. Joe."

Xiao Lian took a deep breath and covered her mouth: "Girl, you just said in front of her that you want to restore your memory, what if she tries again?"

Xin You tilted her head and smiled: "The target of her next murder may be someone else."
