Chapter 43 Confrontation
Huihui is quite useful for Xiangyu's thoughtfulness, she felt a little unkind when she teased her just now, so she hurriedly urged her a little uncomfortable: "I'll save you, I'm such a long-winded person, hurry up, There is no need to make Mammy wait hungry."

I had enough time to delay this morning, so Xiangyu didn't think much of it. Hearing the young lady's urging, she took the food box and left. She couldn't explain to Brother Qingfeng.

After Nanny Li had eaten breakfast, and Xiangyu packed up and sent them to the small kitchen to arrange a few errands for them, the morning's affairs were considered safe.Although they were delayed here for a while, Mama Shi happened to be stopped by the eldest lady's nanny for a while, and when she came to Huihui's small courtyard, Huihui and the others happened to have everything in order, except for the cat. The reaction, but looking at it is a bit lacking in energy. Seeing it like this, Mammy Li's heart is on fire.

Just as Nanny Li was looking at the cat gloomily, impatient with waiting, Xiangyu came back again, looking a little anxious, Nanny Li asked strangely when she saw the cat: "What are you in a hurry for? Ms. Is there something to explain? Or did you forget to do some work again?" Usually, it's no big deal when Xiangyu and the others finish serving the young lady to wash and eat, and they just sit with the young lady for the rest of the time Doing needlework, making nets and so on, Huihui read some travel news to them when she was happy.

Xiangyu ran all the way here, although the distance was not far but she was a little panting, she shook her head and said: "No, the mother Shi in the old lady's house is here, and she is talking at the lady's place. I’m here to inform Mammy during tea time, do you think you’re going to say hello, I’m afraid she will bully Miss.” These words were the real purpose of her visit.

When Nanny Li heard that Mama Shi was here, although she felt strange, she didn't worry too much. She knew a little about Mama Shi's personality, and she wasn't too mean. It doesn't seem to be a bad thing to let her come instead of the vicious and vicious mother Gu, but no matter whether the old lady has bad intentions or not, she is also worried about letting the young lady face the people in the old lady's room alone .

With a certain mind, Nanny Li looked at the taro whose face was still a little pale, and knew that the child was worried, so she dropped the needle and thread in her hand, looked at the cat who was still lying on her stomach, and said, "Alright, I'll go with you Take a look, this cat doesn't have the energy to go out to mess around now, maybe it won't be a problem if the doors and windows are closed." After finishing speaking, he stood up and prepared to close the window.

At this moment, Xiangyu's brain was brightened, and she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ma'am, it's better not to be busy, this window is not open and covered by a window screen, and I don't think the cat has much energy, so it probably won't be able to get out. , we just need to close the door, it would be bad if we didn’t have to close the door to make others suspicious.”

Nanny Li looked at the cat and thought she was right, then nodded and said, "That's fine, you've said something angry when you came here, let's go to the main room quickly, we don't have to be held in the wrong eye again The hat, that one is a celebrity in front of the old lady, although we don't expect her to say good things about our young lady in front of the old lady, but we can't let her say bad things, then the young lady will be the one who suffers." Said Wan Dang walked out of the house first, Xiangyu saw it and hurriedly followed out, and closed the door smoothly.

When the two of them hurried to the corridor, they just heard Mother Shi say in the room: "This time, the old servant came to see the young lady for the old lady. Originally, the old lady wanted to come and see the young lady in person, but I'm afraid you won't be tired anymore in the hot weather, you should follow the rules, it's better not to see you, so I sent the old slave here, sorry to see you, the second lady is getting thinner this summer, is it because of the heat? ah?"

Hearing this, it's really hard to reply. After all, I don't know what Mama Shi said. If it is difficult for the young lady to say, she can take it back, so she took a breath, pretended not to hear the conversation in the room, stepped into the room and said with a smile: "Why is the old sister here now, she is really a rare visitor, on weekdays But you can’t see it even if you want to, this time it’s rare for you to come, we have to treat you well, Xiangtao! Why don’t you hurry up and serve good tea for Mom.” This also diverted from what Mama Shi had just asked.

Nanny Li is an old man in the mansion, and she is also the nanny of the young lady. Even if the second young lady is not favored, she is a man that the Duke needs to use. Dare to feel uncomfortable, and got up with a smile and said: "Where, am I usually busy, I don't have time to come and walk around your place, isn't it like the old lady asked for such a good job to visit the garden, I have walked this way, and the scenery here is the best, the outside of the courtyard is full of emerald green lotus ponds, and the courtyard is bursting with fragrance of pagoda trees, it is really elegant and comfortable."

After hearing her words, no matter what the purpose was, the three masters and servants of Huihui were shocked when they heard it. These words seemed to praise their good location, but in fact they were an excuse for the old lady, and she was the Duke of the country. The eldest daughter of the mansion is arranged in such a remote corner, she is such a shrewd and powerful mother, no wonder she can be trusted by the old lady, but no matter how she changes, Huihui and the others will not be afraid.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Xiangyu serving tea to Mama Shi, Nanny Li hurriedly said with a smile: "Old sister can still say that, this ugly one can be said to be handsome, and it doesn't make people feel awkward, my sister admires it." It's very, well, sister, hurry up and taste our tea, although it's not a very good tea, but it's rare that it's our young lady's heart, and it's still possible to relieve the heat in this hot day." Madam Li Since she won't easily let her fulfill her words, she also practiced Tai Chi.

After hearing this, Mother Shi felt helpless. Although she said this to excuse the old lady, she also sincerely felt that although this place is a little bit off, it is better to rely on the lotus pond, which is a good place in summer. The summer resort is not like other courtyards because they are close together, which blocks the wind a little bit, but it looks a bit stuffy. Seeing that Nanny Li is still as unforgiving as she is with Mrs. Yuan, she can only smile wryly: "Okay, this old slave is just Miss Xie." I appreciate it." After speaking, he took the teacup from Xiangyu's hand.

At this moment, the two parties had a confrontation, and no one had the upper hand, but Huihui's master and servant already knew that nothing good would happen if Madam Shi came, so they cheered up and prepared to deal with it .

Huihui saw that she had received the tea, and she couldn't let Nanny Li deal with her any longer, so she smiled and said, "Mom is rarely here, so don't be polite with Nanny, sit down and drink tea quickly." What do you want to say after you have recovered your breath." She spoke softly, as if she was not affected by Mama Shi's words at all, she didn't look at Mama Shi after she finished speaking, and only looked at herself with a smile in her eyes. The grandma said: "Mammy chatted with my mother before she even took a break. Hurry up and feel tired from standing in the hot weather, so Mammy also sat down, let's talk together.

For her good manners, Mama Shi unconsciously praised her, and she sighed again when she thought about the matter of the second young lady's grandparents' family. If nothing happened to the Li family back then, how charming the second young lady would be now. She will live such a life that is not as good as a concubine's daughter, but she is not in charge of these things, she just needs to complete the old lady's orders without offending others as much as possible, so she smiled and thanked: "It's really Miss Xie." , no wonder our old ladies feel distressed when they think of Miss every day, such a smart person, will she love her when she sees her, to put it bluntly, even this old slave will not love her when she sees her." After finishing speaking, she was no longer polite, and directly addressed her He sat down with a cup of tea.

Seeing that her words turned around to the old lady's pity for the young lady, several people knew that it would be difficult not to let her speak out about this matter today, so Su Huihui winked at Nanny Li and asked her to follow this path. It's not annoying to have to turn around, this hot day, it's hard to be cooler this morning, she still wants to take the opportunity to rest more, it's a waste to spend time with this old mother here.It is estimated that if Mama Shi knew Huihui's thoughts, she would applaud her. How could she be willing to deal with it here?

Mama Li got hints from Huihui and knew how to deal with it. In fact, she also agreed to open up with Mama Shi, saying that she herself has a sharp personality and is very impatient. Speaking of the topic, since Mrs. Yuan left, she has seen too much of the charming faces of these people in the mansion, and she will never say anything stupidly again. Thinking of the suffering they suffered in the past, Madam Li sank down. After thinking about it, a smile grew on his face.

When the young lady asked her to sit down, Nanny Li brought Xiao Jindun and sat beside Mama Shi without serving her. Mom's errand, if you have anything to say, just say it straight, and you don't have to delay mom's time." With a sense of meaning in her heart, Nanny Li no longer called Mama Shi's old sister any more. Where can't you hear it, how can she bear the old woman's three words about the young lady's poor health, besides, she will not take the initiative to say that the young lady's health is not good, so there is no need to be overly polite.

Nanny Li knows that in this day and age, it is difficult for a girl in the boudoir to find a husband if she is not in good health. Although her own lady's reputation outside the world is already that of a sick Xishi, but these words did not come from their own mouths. In case of need, we can still make things right. The wives of the aristocratic families in Beijing are not human beings. They have seen a lot of secret methods in the inner house. As long as you see the lady herself, how those rumors came about, of course you don’t need to People will tell the difference.

Nanny Li has the confidence that the young lady will be able to rectify her name smoothly. Otherwise, how could the aunt be attracted to her young lady as a daughter-in-law? If she thinks about it, there is a way to eliminate the old lady's reputation of being weak in front of everyone. After all, if the marriage is over, I would rather The future mistress of the Xihou Mansion also needs a good reputation.
