Ci Jinzhi

Chapter 33
At this time, the old lady was drinking tea.

There was an ice basin in the room, the maid fanned her hand, and took a few sips of scented tea. The old lady's irritability in the past two days eased a lot.

Suddenly, a servant girl's voice came from the door, full of surprise and haste: "Cousin girl——"

The old lady paused holding the teacup and looked towards the door.

Xin You walked in quickly, and bowed to the old lady: "Grandmother, Qingqing is leaving Shaoqing's mansion, and came to say goodbye to you."

The old lady buzzed her head, and blurted out: "What's the matter?"

Xin You didn't say anything, just wiped the corners of her eyes, and walked out with her bag.

Xiao Lian followed suit, carrying a bigger burden in her hand.

The old lady's blood rushed to her head, and she hurriedly shouted: "Stop Biao girl!"

The maidservant at the door stopped Xin You immediately, and persuaded her, "Cousin girl, please speak up if you have something to say."

Xin You turned around and looked at the old lady with a dark complexion, then turned her eyes and lowered her eyes.

Only then did the old lady see the torn sleeve.

At this time, the second wife, Mrs. Zhu, also rushed over, and the old lady simply asked her, "What's going on here?"

Mrs. Zhu didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two little girls, so she hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know the inside story, I heard from Yan'er—"

After a little hesitation, the sympathy for the cousin girl in his heart still prevailed, and Zhu continued: "It is said that Hua'er beat Qingqing."

The old lady's face became even darker: "Call all three girls."

The maid went out to call for someone, and the old lady comforted her granddaughter: "Qingqing, if there is anything wrong with your cousin, just tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will discipline her, but you can't just say things like leaving Shaoqing's mansion."

"The second cousin stopped me in the garden just now and slapped me. Thinking that Mrs. Qiao was dismissed because of me, I didn't want to argue with my cousin, so I took Xiaolian back to Wanqingju, but my cousin chased after me. It even tore my clothes..." Xin You was aggrieved and told the story.

"You bastard!" The old lady slapped the table angrily.

The three girls arrived one after another, first came the third girl Duan Yunling, then the fourth girl Duan Yunyan, and the last one was the second girl Duan Yunhua.

When Duan Yunhua saw this posture, he gave Xin You a hard look.

Kou Qingqing, that bitch, really came to sue her grandmother.

Seeing her like this, the old lady became even angrier: "Hua'er, you beat your cousin in the garden?"

There were so many people present at that time, Duan Yunhua couldn't deny it, bit his lips and said: "She forced my mother away and she is still proud in front of me—"

"Shut up!" The old lady sneered, "Where did you hear the rumors? Qiao's divorce was her own fault. What does it have to do with your cousin? Your cousin is a victim. Not only do you not feel guilty, but you also feel guilty in public." Beating people, even tearing your cousin's clothes, have you learned the rules of the dog?"

As soon as Duan Yunhua heard about tearing her cousin's clothes, Duan Yunhua gave up: "Grandmother, I didn't tear her clothes! I just pulled her sleeves to ask for clarification, but she couldn't help pulling her sleeves so hard that they tore right away."

"Even if it wasn't intentional, you are too reckless to apologize to your cousin!"

Duan Yunhua's face was full of unwillingness, he had to give in under the cold gaze of the old lady, and looked at Xin You: "Cousin, I—"

Xin You didn't wait for her to apologize, and said coldly: "I don't accept your apology, the shame of tearing clothes, I will never forget it."

Duan Yunhua had never received such harsh words from his peers, and he was immediately annoyed: "Kou Qingqing, don't be shameless!"

Xin You looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, my second cousin slapped me, tore my clothes, and thought that an apology would be a shame for me. It is conceivable that if Qingqing has been living in Shaoqing's mansion, she will have a lot of trouble with her second cousin." The friction will cause the whole house to be dirty. Instead of this, let Qingqing go out of the house and live in another place."

How could the old lady agree to wait for the granddaughter in her boudoir to go out of the house and live in another place? She cast a cold glance at Duan Yunhua and said: "Qingqing, you don't have to worry about this, just don't let your second cousin come to your eyes in the future."

Xin You shook her head slowly: "Living under the same roof, how could we not meet her? If my grandmother said to ground my second cousin, then Qingqing would not be able to bear it. Although we all know why Mrs. Qiao was divorced, after all, she and I It is related, and it is reported that the second cousin was punished because of me, what should the outside world say?"

Xinyou glanced over the crowd, showing a bitter smile: "Passing it back and forth, it will eventually become something that I can't tolerate. Grandma, you should be more aware of the horrors of gossip than I am. If you really feel sorry for Qingqing, let Qingqing I'll go."

"You are a little girl, and you have no other relatives away from the Shaoqing Mansion. Where can you live?" The old lady became a little impatient.

She didn't expect that since Qiao's incident, her always well-behaved granddaughter would become so noisy.

Leaving aside whether it is safe for a little girl to live outside, how should outsiders talk about the Shaoqing Mansion?
Xin You lowered her eyes to cover the coldness in her eyes: "Even if you are not in Shaoqing's Mansion, you are still my relative. People know that I am a cousin of Shaoqing's Mansion, so they will definitely not dare to bully me."

"Qingqing, don't mess around."

The old lady's attitude was resolute, as long as Xin You had expected, shed tears when she heard this: "Just treat it as a mess, anyway, I can't live in the Shaoqing Mansion any longer."

After saying this, Xin You turned around sharply, and rushed out with her bag.

The old lady was dumbfounded, Mrs. Zhu was dumbfounded, and the three sisters Duan Yunhua were also dumbfounded.

After a while, the old lady woke up like a dream, stood up and shouted sharply: "Stop the cousin girl!"

By this time, Xin You had already rushed to the corner gate, with a string of maids chasing after her.

The old lady chased her out and watched the two women hold down the granddaughter from a distance, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the girl break free somehow and rushed out the door.

Outside the door is a lively street.

The old lady's eyes darkened and she almost fell down.

"Old lady, be careful!"

The old lady pushed the person who supported her: "Bring the cousin back quickly!"

At this time, it was still some time before dark, and it was the hottest time of noon, and there were quite a lot of people on the street. People suddenly saw a group of people pouring out of Shaoqing's mansion, but unfortunately they didn't see clearly, the group retreated again.

what's up?
People stopped immediately, talking curiously.

The old lady finally arrived, looking at her granddaughter who was pulled back in time, her face was livid: "Qingqing, do you want to be famous if you do this?"

The girl who was being dragged by the servant girl raised her head slightly, her calm appearance completely unable to see the urge to run out just now with her bag: "Grandmother is talking about Qingqing's reputation, or the reputation of Shaoqing's Mansion?"

The old lady's face trembled, she was angry at her granddaughter's presumptuousness, she said coldly: "My cousin is emotional, first send her back to Wanqingju to calm down."

Duan Yunhua on the side heard this and wished he could clap his hands.

Kou Qingqing was imprisoned by her grandmother!

She thought Kou Qingqing was capable, but it turned out to be nothing more than that.
