boudoir

Chapter 105

Even though Mrs. Nie tried her best to deal with the female guests, she was not as smart as usual. Not only Mrs. Liang could see her depression, but even the old ladies who were talking with her were able to see it.Taking advantage of the servant girl serving tea for a moment, he whispered to Liuli: "Go and find out what happened to your fourth aunt today?"

Liuli was also wondering, and thought to herself, isn't this shrew always very proud?Why are you listless today?But she couldn't directly ask Mrs. Nie and the people around her about this matter, she looked around and saw that He Xiuyuan was walking in with Tingbang, so she stepped forward and said, "Can Fourth Uncle take a step to speak?" He Xiuyuan Seeing that it was her, he nodded and asked Tingbang to go to the front yard first, while he and Liuli walked aside.

Liuli said: "Fourth uncle, what happened to fourth aunt today?"

He Xiuyuan sneered, "The Song Manor came to me this morning, saying that the day for the two families to change Geng Tie is temporarily cancelled, and now I don't know what's going on!" It is always a good thing for the Song family to gain a relationship, and He Xiuyuan is also a little depressed.

Liuli couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that the Song Mansion canceled the Geng Tie, and thought to herself, isn't this a certainty?How did something happen again?Thinking of what Huanhua said earlier about the strange performance of the Qi family, he wondered if it was the Qi family who came to play tricks secretly?If so, it will be troublesome!Just as he was thinking of asking Huanhua immediately, He Xiuyuan pulled her back: "You are walking fast, I still have something to say here. Let me ask you, does the old lady have ginseng on hand now?" ?”

Liu Li said: "Fourth Uncle asked Shen what to do?"

He Xiuyuan cleared his throat, looked around, and said, "You are not someone else, so it's okay to tell you. Min Cui is a little weak, I want to get some ginseng to supplement her, but we leave the key to the storeroom with you." Fourth Aunt's place, if you go to the warehouse to get it, I'm afraid the tigress will find out, so you can find a way for Fourth Uncle."

Liuli glanced at him, saw that he was inconvenient to speak clearly, thinking about the recent rumors in the mansion that he and Min Cui were in love with each other day and night, and also guessed that it was probably to make Min Cui pregnant with a child.If Min Cui is pregnant with a child, will Nie still be able to sit still?However, the turmoil in the fourth room is not a bad thing for her, so she said: "Wouldn't the fourth uncle just ask the old lady directly?"

He Xiuyuan said: "Then you have to find the way for me first."

Liuli thought for a while, then said: "Then you come after dinner. The old lady will have some free time then."

He Xiuyuan quickly responded, calling "good niece" repeatedly and walked away.

Liuli stood outside the hall for a while in surprise, and then returned to the hall to talk to the old lady. The old lady frowned when she heard about it.It's just that in front of a room full of female guests, it's hard to say much, just as Guo Xia came in with Chunyang at this time, the old lady waved her to go down.

After going out, Liuli found Huanhua in the auditorium, and whispered the news to her just now, Huanhua was also surprised: "How could this happen? No, mother hasn't gone out these days!" Liuli said: " You don’t have to go out in person if you want bad things. But this is just my guess, and it may not be her.” Huanhua nodded, but his face couldn’t help but worry.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the hall, and the guests from all over the world began to come to the main hall.Liu Li glanced around, and said, "The ceremony of adding basin is about to begin, don't think about it yet, let's go in."

The old lady was unable to move, so she was temporarily accompanied by Biyun Qingshang in the flower hall. Liuli and Huanhua stood in the crowd one after another, waiting for their turn.

After a while, the drums sounded softly, and four maids holding auspicious fruits with auspicious meanings appeared behind the screen, and then Yu Shi came out happily holding the infant Xiao Ruixi, accompanied by Nie Shi, Yu Hua and others. side.After Fu Niang sang the congratulatory speech, she took Rui Xi and put it in a bathtub carved with flowers and riches. discourse.

The family members of He Fu were all in the last row, and Huanhua stood next to Mrs. Qi at the head of Mrs. Liang. Liuli waited for Mrs. Huanhua to put out the congratulatory gifts, and then bent down to put the gold bracelet and lock on them.Just as she was about to get up to leave, her back knees suddenly softened, and she couldn't hold back, so she rushed towards Rui Xi who was in the bathtub in front of her!

That was a baby who was only three days old!With this pounce, Liuli bumped into the bathtub, Ruixi and the gold and jade inside were thrown out of the basin, and she rolled several times on the ground wrapped in swaddling clothes.All the guests screamed, Yu Shi rushed over and hugged Rui Xi in his arms, patted and called her name, Rui Xi didn't move at first, and then cried out after a long time, the voice was heart-piercing!

Liuli didn't know why this happened suddenly, so she stood up and wanted to go over to have a look.But everyone surrounded Rui Xi, Nie yelled for a doctor, while Xie who was on the bed rushed out desperately when she heard Rui Xi had an accident.A joyful banquet instantly turned gloomy, Liuli was pushed out of the circle by the crowd, and her heart seemed to have fallen into ice slag.

The guests present were all courteous and dignified officials and family members, all of them were humble and reserved. When she was filling the bowl just now, the surroundings were not noisy and crowded. It is impossible for her to stand unsteadily under such circumstances.And if it was a moment of carelessness, it would be even more unreasonable!One wrong step in such a fatal situation would bring trouble to herself at any time, so how could she relax one nerve and let herself be out of shape?When she was standing by the bathtub just now, she was already about to stand up, but it was a blow to her back knee that made her fall down uncontrollably!Who gave this blow?Who is plotting against her? !
In this He Mansion, any mistake she makes is an unforgivable mistake, not to mention hurting Rui Xi, offending not only Xie and Yu, but also He Cunli's face in front of all colleagues? !She looked at the crowd around Ruixi, there were not only He Cunli and He Tingyu who had heard the news, but also the Liang family, Qi family and Nie family. Looking at the indistinct arc on the corner of Qi's mouth, her mind Suddenly flashed the cold light she cast when they looked at each other earlier—yes, it was her and Huanhua who were standing behind her just now!Huanhua would never do this. Although Nie and Aunt Chen were standing next door, but because of Yanhua's matter, how could Nie have the time to deal with her?What's more, she, Aunt Chen and others are already farther away from her.And Mrs. Qi is right behind her, and she can touch her calf just by lifting her foot. She has always held a grudge against herself because of the Goldfly Butterfly incident. If she doesn't hurt her this time, when will she wait? !
Liuli gritted her teeth involuntarily, what is meant by an open spear is easy to hide and a hidden arrow is hard to defend against, this is a hidden arrow!In this way, not only did the long house lose face, but it also plunged her into dire straits, isn't that called ruthlessness? !Just because she gave the branch of Huasheng to Mrs. Yu, and it is confirmed that she bribed Cuiying to do things for her, she will make her be charged with murdering the granddaughter of the concubine!
On the porch in June, she couldn't help shivering.At this time, Ruixi was still crying desperately, and her voice was a little hoarse.Mrs. Xie held her tightly in her arms and kept crying, while He Tingyu was full of anger and said something to He Yuli with hatred. It could be seen that no matter whether Mrs. Xie gave birth to a son or a daughter, what happened to Liuli today , can make them regard her as an enemy who can't get rid of unhappiness!
No, no, while Mrs. Yu has no time to blame her, she has to think of a way for herself first!

"Liuli, why are you still here?!"

Just as he was about to leave, Huanhua suddenly spotted her from the crowd and ran over anxiously, "Go to the old lady! It's not easy for my aunt to take you in front of guests, but my mother and fourth aunt are by my side. But it’s hard to say, you go away!”

Liuli's eyes froze: "You also saw that I was framed, didn't you!"

Huanhua was stunned, bit her lip half a moment later and pushed her away: "You go!"

Liuli's gaze became condensed in an instant, she turned her head to look at Qi's, and then walked towards the flower hall to the south.

Accompanied by Biyun, the old lady was resting in the flower hall, at this moment she also heard movement from the main hall to the north.Asked Biyun to inquire, Biyun came back and said: "Don't be angry if you tell the old lady. Ninth girl got angry somewhere, and even opened the bathtub of Ruixi's second sister in front of the guests at the basin ceremony. It flipped over, and knocked out the second sister, the poor second sister rolled so much on the ground, and now she is calling for a doctor to treat her, I don't know if there is any problem."

The old lady was shocked when she heard this, and said with a firm crutch: "This girl usually looks stable, how can she be so reckless!"

Bi Yun said: "Yeah, I also see that Nine Girls are usually quite stable. Today, this kind of thing happened to shame the Grand Master, so outsiders who don't know will wonder if the Grand Master offended her." she."

The old lady frowned and said angrily, "Go and find her for me!"

Biyun quickly said yes, went out to the corridor, saw Liuli coming, and said: "Ninth girl is back, the old lady is about to see you!"

Liuli took a look at her and entered the flower hall, seeing the old lady's expression, she knew that she had got the news.Without saying anything, he knelt down on his knees.Pointing at her, the old lady said, "You silly bastard!" As she spoke, she stood up tremblingly, raised her crutches and threw herself on her body: "You actually caused me trouble at such a time, if you are not mad at me, I don't intend to kill you!" give up!"

Qingshang hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and persuaded her: "Old lady, calm down! Even Miss Jiu's body can withstand such beatings, you have to take care of yourself!" Biyun also supported her , said in the mouth: "That's exactly what I said, the old lady should not be angry about this matter, I will deal with it myself by the old man and the old lady, you just sit down and let it go!"

Liuli didn't move, and let her hit her with a few sticks.The old lady was persuaded to sit down, but she was still so angry that she pointed in the direction of the main courtyard and said, "Take her back to her room and lock her up! I won't lose face to He Fu in front of the guests!"

Liuli hurriedly said: "Old lady, I still have something to say!"

The old lady said: "There is no need to say anything! Take it back!"
