Chapter 21 Excusing

But at this moment, Su Chengying paused and said, "The maid below said that a wild animal broke in. She was frightened and hid in all directions. This is how the house was messed up."

The fourth lady, Jin, was stunned.

Everyone present was also stunned.

After all, no one expected that Su Chengying would take the initiative to exonerate the fourth room.

Su Chengying pulled Dongfang Chunyue to her side and added with a smile, "Miss Yue happened to rush in after hearing the sound and helped the maid drive away the wild animals. Originally, my men owed Miss Yue a favor, but I didn't expect it. Miss Yue was afraid that I would punish my servants, so she took all the responsibility on herself."

Dongfang Chunyue looked at Su Chengying blankly, her brain obviously frozen.

Su Chengying touched the top of Dongfang Chunyue's hair, as if she really felt sorry for her kind deed, "Miss Yue is so tolerant and open-minded at a young age. It's all because of the teachings of the Fourth Madam."

The fourth lady, Qian, "..."

Should she nod or shake her head?

The second lady, Mrs. Liu, suddenly said, "Miss Yue rushed into the inner room and smashed things. All the sisters saw it with their own eyes. Why did the taste change in Her Highness the Princess's mouth?"

Dongfang Chunyue frowned and looked at Dongfang Ronglu next to the second lady, wanting to speak.

Su Chengying took advantage of the situation and dropped the hand caressing Dongfang Chunyue's head, held her arm tightly, pulled her behind her, looked at the second lady Liu and smiled, "The second lady also said that the other girls were looking at Miss Yue. After going in, naturally only Miss Yue and the maid next to me know what happened inside."

"Or..." The smile on Su Chengying's lips suddenly faded a little, "The girls present actually followed Miss Yue into my inner room and didn't do anything. They just watched indifferently?"

Su Chengying said it directly, and the second wife, Mrs. Liu, didn't dare to speak even if she wanted to continue. Otherwise, wouldn't she take the initiative to admit that her daughter, along with others, encouraged Sister Yue to destroy the house?
Upon hearing this, the third lady Qian quickly tightened Dongfang Manning's hand and lowered her head without saying anything. When the second lady Liu saw this, she could only curse in her heart for being a coward, and she also shut her mouth in disbelief.

Tao Xiu saw that he was trying to fetch water from a bamboo basket but in vain, and quickly said, "Your Highness, I know that you have always been kind, but you cannot tolerate lying in front of the old lady."

Su Chengying turned around and looked at Tao Xiu coldly, "I was in the inner room at the time. Even though I was still asleep, I vaguely heard what happened. But Aunt Tao didn't know the truth and made random guesses. Could it be that she wanted to frame her for marriage? It’s a disaster for the girls in this house!”

After hearing this, Dongfang Chunyue looked at the fourth lady Jin, her clear and stupid eyes, obviously asking, Su Chengying was not in the room at all just now.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Jin, wished she could take off her head and press it on Dongfang Chunyue's neck. She blinked her eyes vaguely and signaled her daughter to shut her mouth.

Dongfang Chunyue thought about whether Su Chengying had helped her, and she shouldn't expose it anymore...

The old lady glanced at Tao Xiu with an unhappy face and said, "Tao Xiu, you have worked hard helping Yueming take care of Jiaziyuan these years. It just so happens that I will send someone to Huguo Temple tomorrow to pray for blessings, so you will go with me. Quan is right. Take some rest.”

Tao Xiu clutched the handkerchief tightly, knelt on the ground and said, "I obey, my servant. Thank you, Madam, for your concern."

The ladies in each room looked at Tao Xiu who was kneeling on the ground, and felt sad. Tao Xiu had always been valued by the old lady in the mansion because she took care of Jiaziyuan, but now he was punished so severely by the old lady and sent out of the mansion to think about his mistakes. However, Something unprecedented.

Tao Xiu felt the gazes from around her and lowered her head to her chest, hiding the shame and anger on her face.

The old lady looked at Su Chengying again, her voice was rare and soft, "Beiliang is surrounded by grasslands, and it is normal for wild animals to make noises occasionally at night. Mother Zhang has been with me for many years and is considered reliable, Tao Xiu During this period of absence, let her go to Jiaziyuan to take care of you."

Su Chengying didn't know that the old lady rewarded Zhang's mother with face because her actions just now preserved the reputation of the girls in the house, but at the same time, Zhang's mother followed her all the time, also with the intention of monitoring.I'm afraid that the old lady has already become suspicious, and she is not at the mansion tonight.

Su Chengying didn't hesitate much and thanked the old lady for her kindness. When she turned around, she glanced at Tao Xiu who was still kneeling on the ground. She knew Tao Xiu's thoughts and had never wanted to be an enemy of Tao Xiu, but Tao Xiu was thinking about her. He gave in and made further progress several times.

Su Chengying hoped that Tao Xiu could figure things out at Huguo Temple so that everyone could get along more easily in the future.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if Tao Xiu really can't understand.

If Su Chengying can make Tao Xiu kneel down today, he will find a way to make Tao Xiu kneel down forever tomorrow.

After everyone left the main courtyard, the fourth lady Jin couldn't help but blame her daughter and said, "How can you be so ignorant? Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the Princess helped you take care of this matter today, otherwise what would your reputation be like?"

Dongfang Chunyue frowned aggrieved and dissatisfied, "Sister Lu said that Princess Shengtang was so arrogant that she made us wait for a long time without showing up. Sister Lu also said that Princess Shengtang probably hated our family very much. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left those shops. It’s obvious that I want us to get married without a dowry..."

"So you said you not only smashed things, but also tore up the ledger?"

"Hmm."

"Yeah, you're so big!"

The fourth lady, Mrs. Jin, hated that iron could not become steel, but her heart was heavy and heavy. She said that what a group of good-looking juniors were doing in Jiaziyuan, it turned out that they had other plans.

The fourth wife, Jin, led her daughter all the way to the courtyard, feeling uneasy all the time. She certainly knew that Su Chengying's rescue today was not that simple, and was more of a show of goodwill to her, but did she want to accept this job? Okay, I need to think about it again.

Su Zhenzhen, who was guarding the fork in the road with Wen Yu, knew that something had happened to Su Chengying and was waiting to see Su Chengying's joke. Unexpectedly, instead of Su Chengying waiting for him, Dongfang Junqiu, smelling of alcohol, was waiting for him.

Su Zhenzhen was so frightened that she took Wen Yu and hid in the grass. After Dongfang Junqiu left, the master and servant were already covered in mud and dirt.

Wen Yu frowned and said, "It's not an option to hide all the time. Otherwise, the young lady should go and tell the old lady."

Su Zhenzhen looked at Dongfang Junqiuli's slanted back, took a deep breath and said, "I am already helpless in this house. If I go and tell the old lady about this now, wouldn't it be clear that I will give up my second bedroom to him?" excuse me?"

Wen Yu was extremely worried, "Miss, your heart is good, but you can't wrong yourself just because you're afraid of offending others."

Wen Yu's words reminded Su Zhenzhen.

She is afraid of making enemies with the people in this house, but she can find ways to win over the people in this house.

Even if you can't win over the old lady, it's still good to win over other people.

With this in mind, Su Zhenzhen whispered to Wen Yu, "During this period, you should pay close attention to my sister's movements. It is best to find out when my sister is not in the courtyard."

Wen Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Miss."
