Evil girl follows good

Chapter 65
Mrs. Zhao let Caiqing beat her legs without raising her eyes. If Mrs. Feng knew she was listening, outsiders might think she was asleep when she saw her. You don't need to wait for the old lady to speak, Mrs. Feng would know the old lady decided.

She didn't want to investigate any further, but if the second girl didn't know about it, that's fine, but if she knew, it would be unfair if she didn't investigate further, without an explanation. How could the younger generation be convinced by the elders?

Feng Shi originally prepared a bunch of words of persuasion, but he couldn't say it at this time, and just sat quietly by the side.

After a long time, the old lady Zhao said, "Since the second child asked you to check, you can check it. It's just a girl, so don't make everyone in the house panic. You have to chase after the Duke’s Mansion to find out, now that our mansion is in decline, how can we top the Duke’s Mansion, you just have to check it out.”

Asking to check but not letting the matter become a big deal, Feng already understood, "I know."

If Er Yatou has such a temperament, if you don't check, you will definitely make trouble. When it comes out, it will also say that Zhao's mansion is doing things unfairly. An excuse to settle the matter.

At this time, Caihe came in from the outside, leaned down and whispered a few words beside the old lady Zhao, the old lady Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and her voice became sharper, "But it's true?"

Feng Shi was also taken aback.

"What happened?" she asked Xiang Caihe.

Cai He knew that Mrs. Feng was close to Mrs. Zhao, and she didn't hide it, "My servant just heard that the people below are saying that the second girl rented a house outside and stored food."

"What?" Feng Shi was also surprised, and asked back, "How is this possible, what is a girl in her boudoir doing to save food?"

The old lady Zhao's face was frosty, "Yeah, I also want to know what she is going to do? Is she hungry in the house? Let her do things for small merchants, go and call people, I am sure Ask carefully."

Caihe backed out in response.

Caiqing did not agree with Caihe's approach, but she was a servant, so she couldn't say much.

Feng recovered from the shock, "Don't worry, aunt, I think someone is talking nonsense, the second girl is in the house all day, where can I rent a house and store food, besides, the food is priceless now. The market and grain stores are empty, where can she go to buy grain?"

Feng Shi, who changed direction, advised Mrs. Zhao not to get angry in a hurry, but to ask the matter clearly first.

"Didn't you say that you saw the woman next to her carrying a package out a while ago? I'm afraid she had this thought at that time." Mrs. Zhao has a good memory.

After she said this, Mrs. Feng remembered this matter. She wanted to find an explanation but couldn't find it. Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly, "You don't have to speak for her. If she really didn't do it, I won't wrong her .”

"You don't have to stay here with me. There are many things in the house, so go get busy." Mrs. Zhao chased Feng Shi, "I also know that you are in a dilemma, and you should avoid the matter of the second girl in the future. My niece is also my daughter-in-law, and I don't want to make things difficult for you."

Feng's face turned green and red, "I just feel that the second girl is in the mansion by herself, without her parents by her side, and I don't want her to be distracted with my aunt, after all, she is also your granddaughter."

Mrs. Zhao has been feeling a little uncomfortable these days, and now that Mrs. Feng has shown her attitude, she has no reason to hold on to it, "I understand your thoughts, we are not outsiders, and we are different from the other houses, you know that Just do it."

Knowing that she had offended the old lady, Mrs. Feng didn't dare to stay any longer, so she got up and left.

There was no outsider in the room, so the old lady Zhao asked Caiqing, "Do you think I'm really being too harsh on the second girl?"

Even so, Caiqing didn't dare to say it directly, and said with a smile, "The old lady also wishes the girls well, and she should be stricter."

"The matter of combing branches, after all, I thought that combing branches had been with me for many years, and I wronged the second girl, but no one of the younger generation would hate the elders, and she didn't think that it was the old man by my side, so she would save me some face. But she brought an outsider to support her." Caiqing knew that the old lady knew everything in her heart, but she always did things in a stupid way.

She didn't know how to answer the conversation, but at this moment, Caiqing was relieved when she heard the little girl outside reporting that the second girl was coming, and then shouted, "Hurry up and let someone come in."

Anquan retreated to the side and stood there.

Yuan Xi left the green bamboo outside, and when he came in, he squatted down and greeted him, "Grandmother."

The old lady Zhao gave a faint grace in a nasal voice, "I heard that you rented a house outside to store food?"

Yuan Xi expected that recruiting himself would not be a good thing, so now that he is asked about it, he is not surprised. He thought of his words last night, and replied calmly, "I don't know where grandma heard about it. , the granddaughter also wants to ask that man, where did the granddaughter rent the house and how did she store her food."

Mrs. Zhao just didn't like the red shirt she was wearing, and hearing her brisk tone, she acted as if she was a busybody, "The late emperor's funeral has not yet passed, you are wearing this dress because you are afraid that there will be no one in our house." thing?"

"The plain clothes can be removed after 27 days of the mourning period. I saw my fifth sister was wearing a pink shirt last night, and I dared to change out today. If it doesn't work, my granddaughter will change it when she goes back." Yuan Xi knew that she was finding fault, and fell He stood there straight with his eyelids closed.

"You have already mentioned the mourning period, and you went back to change it, so that it seemed that I was unreasonable. Forget it, your wings are hard now, and I can't control it. I just want you to tell the truth. Did you rent it outside? Is there a house?"

Yuan Xi's eyelids didn't move, "No."

"It's never been. You can remember what you said today. If it proves that you lied in the future, I will be the first to forgive you." Mrs. Zhao became ruthless in her heart, and yelled at Yuan Xi in front of Yuan Xi. Order Caiqing, "Send someone out to investigate, don't wrong our second girl."

Cai responded with a crisp voice, and retreated softly.

Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at the old lady Zhao sitting upright, "Grandmother, there are people in the house who spread such nonsense, you have to ask clearly, otherwise, wouldn't the granddaughter be too wronged? I beg grandma to give her granddaughter justice."

After saying that, Yuan Xi knelt down on the ground, "If you don't give your granddaughter justice, your granddaughter won't be able to kneel forever."

If you want to make it right, you can make it right, Yuan Xi is not soft-hearted, and they don't regard themselves as relatives, so why make them feel comfortable.

"Are you threatening me?" Mrs. Zhao raised her voice.

Yuan Xi dared not say, "First, he was framed in the Duke's mansion, and the witnesses were killed in the courtyard, and now it is rumored that the granddaughter is renting a house outside, and the granddaughter stays in the boudoir. I don't know who I offended. People are wronged one after another, and the mansion is so big, where the rumors come from, it is easy to investigate, and the granddaughter only asks the grandmother to return the granddaughter's innocence."

Seeing that the old lady was annoyed, Cai He spoke softly from the side, "Second Miss, the old lady asked Second Miss to question her because of Second Miss. If Second Miss didn't do it, those rumors would naturally be broken."

"Master, why do you have the right to speak up? The rumors are broken without success, but the people who spread the rumors are extremely hateful. Although the Zhao family is not as good as before, it is still an official family, and the servants spread such words for no reason. Come on, maybe someone is behind the scenes. If I don't get that person out now, I don't know how big a wave she will cause in the future. Let things like the inner house be ignored. Wouldn't it be a joke if it was passed on? Or that The people who spread the rumors dare not offend the Zhao family?" Yuan Xi lived a lifetime, and finally saw the true faces of his relatives, "I don't have parents by my side, but I was manipulated at will, this is still in the mansion, I also want to ask Grandmother, am I a girl from the Zhao family?"

"What a mean mouth. Last time you said that the elders wronged you, but now you say, well, I also want to ask you where the grievances are?" Mrs. Zhao pointed angrily, looking at it with that look It seems to tear people.

Prime Minister Zhao went to the villa in Xishan to recuperate. He is not in the mansion for a few days, and Mrs. Zhao is not afraid that the old man will say that she has done things unfairly.

"What's the difference between telling and not telling? If I had my parents by my side, no one would dare to bully me like this." Yuan Xi went up to him without backing down, "Grandmother listens to rumors, and even asked people to go outside to investigate in person. Since you want to Check, why not find out the person who sent the message, and ask her where she knew it? Wouldn’t it be easier?”

Yuan Xi could only directly say that the old lady was always targeting her.

But the meaning inside and outside the words is too obvious, even if she didn't say it directly, the old lady Zhao could understand it, she was trembling with anger, her face was ashen, "I can't let you teach me, I can let you do what the elders do Accused? There are no rules, you can kneel if you want, I want to see how long you can kneel."

After scolding, Mrs. Zhao asked Cai He to help her back to the inner room, leaving Yuan Xi alone to kneel here.

The noise in the hallway was so loud that everyone in the courtyard could hear it.

Lvzhu was standing in the corridor talking to the little girl, now that she heard the girl kneeling inside, she lost her mind and didn't dare to go in rashly, so she had to go out of Wutong courtyard to the second room.

Mrs. Feng was asking people to check the strange place in the courtyard last night, when she heard Luzhu coming, she was ordered by the old lady in the morning, and she knew that something happened to the second girl when Luzhu came to look for her, so I can't see you , can only make people wait first.

After arranging the affairs at hand, before calling Luzhu to come in, a little girl ran in and hurriedly reported, "Ma'am, someone from Zhuang's mansion is here."

Feng Shi was taken aback, "Zhuang Mansion? Who is here?"

"It's Mrs. Zhuang." An Lan asked the little girl, "You have already entered the second gate."

Feng got up and straightened his clothes, "Let's go.

After leaving the door, Mrs. Feng saw the green bamboo waiting outside, and then said, "I have something to do right now, you can come back when you're done, go back to your girl to serve."

Without waiting for the green bamboo to speak, he quickly led the girl out of the yard, and the green bamboo could only follow.
