Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 18

Regarding Xie's accusation, Yan Zhaohua did not show weakness, and smiled with his lips curled up, his eyes were filled with cruelty, which surprised Xie.

"Who is confusing the public? Have I agreed to exchange things with my wife? Why should my third sister present my embroidery? My wife feels sorry for my third sister's poor craftsmanship, so I should ask someone to teach her since I was a child, right? I was learning needlework from the age of three to eight. My third sister was good. I was enlightened at the age of four. I learned what my wife called useless books. I didn’t know that those are the foundation of my life. Compared with those books, embroidery skills are worthless. It's not worth it, after all, I'm from the Marquis Mansion, and I don't need to rely on craftsmanship for a living, but since my wife asked me to learn, then I will learn it, after all, it's the wife's "good intentions", but now the third sister wants to embroider A good painting came, but she didn't have the skills. She didn't want to step up her practice, but she was open and aboveboard to steal the efforts of others. What's the reason? Not to mention, the wife has no upbringing and attitude now. I want to exchange things with my wife. My sincerity to my grandmother depends on my hard work day and night for several months. Even if my wife brings gold and silver mountains, I will not exchange them. Ma'am, you may not be richer than me, right? What do I want your 1 taels of silver for? You really turned your heart away from your body. Thanks to my obedience to you since childhood, I obey you in everything and want to honor you I don't expect you to treat me like Ning, but you can't just take care of Ning and trample me into the mud. Besides, the matter of Qian and Yan is not just empty talk Say, it’s your wife, isn’t that what you do? Otherwise, why are Brother Qian and Brother Yan’s husbands two people?”

Yan Zhaohua pressed every step of the way, and asked a few questions sonorously. In just a few words, he explained all the ghosts that Mrs. Xie had been secretly doing all these years. In the past, she only thought that Mrs. Xie was an honest person, but she didn't expect that there would be so many moths behind her back, and all good children would be taught badly by her. Judging from the things she did, Sister Hua can do it at this age It is not easy to see through.

How could Mrs. Xie be hanged and beaten by Yan Zhaohua like this, and she immediately stood up and retorted, saying: "Why are there two husbands, Brother Qian and Brother Yan? Doesn't Missy know? Brother Qian has a weird temper, and he doesn't want to Together with brother Yan, who can blame this? My kindness has misunderstood you like this, I didn’t know that you hated me so far, and it was a waste of my hard work for you all these years, it’s really chilling.”

Mrs. Xie is an acting school, she cried whenever she said she wanted money, and she looked at Yan Zhaohua with sad eyes, just like the sad expression of a aunt who really loves her child after being disobeyed by her child.Yan Zhaohua couldn't help sneering when he saw it, and exposed Xie's carelessness without hesitation:
"Brother Qian has a weird temper? Brother Qian is my younger brother, how can I not know his temper? If you treat him sincerely, he will treat you very sincerely, but he is not good at expressing it, but this shows that he has a weird temper ?"

Mrs. Xie retorted: "His temper is not weird, why did he drive away the people around him several times? Why can't he get along with the people around him? My sister Hua, don't say any more, you really, really broke my heart They are all wounded into a sieve, don’t make me feel that the conscience I have paid for these years has been eaten by dogs.”

Yan Zhaohua ignored Mrs. Xie's sensationalism, not to be outdone, and fought back: "The servants around me are neglectful, can Brother Qian still suffer? Mrs. Li, Mrs. Zhang, and the big girl Fengzhu who were driven away by him, Which one is the fuel-efficient lamp? Mrs. Li deducted his share, Zhang's mother made him wear undried clothes in the cold winter, and that big girl, Fengzhu, was caught on the spot for stealing things. These slaves dare to bully Hou with such grandiose neglect The eldest son of the mansion, shouldn't he be kicked out? Brother Qian is righteous, and he has a good temper if he doesn't take their lives. How can the wife compare a group of slaves with Brother Qian? Is it possible that you can only get along with the slaves in harmony? , such the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, isn’t he considered to have a weird temper? Is this the so-called conscience of the wife for us? If it is really such a conscience, then Brother Qian and I really dare not accept it. "

The impassioned speech forced Mrs. Xie to retreat, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but slapped her chair when she heard this, and said, "Is what Sister Hua said the truth?"

Mrs. Xie was a little dazed. She had been sending people to monitor Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian, and concluded that the two of them hadn't interacted much in private. Logically speaking, Yan Ruiqian lived in the front yard, and what happened in his yard, Yan Zhaohua It is impossible to know, but now Yan Zhaohua not only knows, but also knows in such detail that even any mother-in-law can tell, this girl is in a place she doesn't know, and how many such things she has inquired about. I didn't realize it.

It’s strange that this girl is completely alienated from her these days, and she must have come to her senses after hearing these gossips, Xie secretly gritted her teeth, hating Zhaohua for waking up too early, and she was so close to being able to completely understand Changning Hou. The mansion is in the palm of my hand, but this girl has repeatedly spoiled her good deeds, and the trust she had built up with Lord Hou collapsed most of it at once. Make her feel embarrassed, hmph, she is really a vicious girl.

Before Mrs. Xie could speak, Yan Zhaohua continued:
"Whether it's the truth or not, grandma will know when she calls Brother Qian and those who served him in the past, and grandma will know whether I'm lying or not."

After hearing what Yan Zhaohua said, Mrs. Liu was a little hesitant. She wanted to intervene in an open and honest manner, but this was a matter for the Marquis of Changning. If she intervened, people would say that she was a master and interfered with her son-in-law's housework.

When he was hesitating, Mrs. Xie also wanted to understand this point. Now it is no different from before. She wants to live under Liu's subordinates in Duke Dingguo's mansion. She is already the mistress of Marquis of Changning's mansion. This is also Yan Zhaohua's naivety. Do you think that if you report these things to Xie's family, she will be afraid?If it was in the past, she would indeed be afraid, but now, what can the Liu family do to her?On the other hand, Yan Zhaohua, she is also a girl from the Marquis of Changning, she seems to have forgotten that her future happiness is all in the palm of her hand, and she dared to argue with her like this face to face, hmph, so she still wanted to Find her a richer family, now... She has a lot of ways to make her suffer for the rest of her life. In the future, there will be times when she, Yan Zhaohua, will cry.

Mrs. Xie thought firmly in her heart. She knew Mrs. Liu's identity, so she couldn't justifiably intervene in the affairs of the Marquis of Changning's mansion. Mrs. Xie simply had nothing to fear, so she came to deny it categorically, saying:
"These are all non-existent things. I don't know which right and wrong source Sister Hua heard these things from. She insisted on wronging me in front of my mother. I won't say much, but I can guarantee that what Sister Hua said The things you said have never happened, if mother doesn't believe it, you can order someone to pass on the nurse who is serving Brother Qian to ask to see if these things happened. "

Yan Zhaohua wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mrs. Liu, who only heard her say:

"Okay, let's stop here. The two of you have gone too far. Now we are talking about embroidery. How can it be related to Brother Qian? You can go back to Changning and decide for yourself. Well, I just want to know, which of the birthday presents Ning and Hua gave me today is real and which is fake?"

Yan Zhaohua swallowed his heartfelt words, knowing that Mrs. Liu didn't want to make a big fuss at this time, he was looking for a step for her, only to hear Mrs. Xie step forward, and she knelt down on her knees, saying:

"Mother, I did make a mistake about the embroidery. I shouldn't have believed what Sister Hua said, which led to the current situation."

Up to now, she still insists on refusing to say that she stole other people's things and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Yan Zhaohua replied coldly from the side: "Mother, don't forget that there was a fire in my yard the night before yesterday. Even if this matter My grandmother doesn't send anyone to our Hou's mansion to inquire. Those who saw the fire can testify that I have never received anything from you, nor have I agreed to exchange it with you. The embroidery was embroidered by me as a birthday present for my grandmother, one stitch at a time. I embroidered them all with my own hands, but I bought sister Ning’s share and put it on the street. It was placed in my embroidery room the day before yesterday, and many people saw it, but after a big fire at night , It actually came into Ning’s hands, as long as you take out the things that Ning’s gave to grandma and confront them, you will know whether it is the one in my embroidery room.”

Previously, she just wanted to separate herself from Mrs. Xie in front of Mrs. Liu, so Yan Zhaohua didn't mention the fire. Now Mrs. Liu doesn't want to mention anything else, so she naturally wants to be more acquainted and bring the topic back.

Before Mrs. Xie could quibble, Yan Zhaohua went on to say: "The things I bought from outside are also a set of five girls paying respects to birthdays, and four pictures of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but different from what I embroidered, I used The most popular one is flying needle embroidery, while most of the ones sold outside are flat stitch embroidery. Flying needle embroidery requires much more time and energy, and the skills are more difficult. It is my unique embroidery art, but the one I bought outside There is no need to spend so much thought, just find someone who knows how to embroider and take a look, and you will know whether what I said is true or not."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Nanny Gui who was standing next to her, and Nanny Gui stood up and said, "Yes, the servants have all seen the embroidery that the girls sent up, and what Miss Ning sent is indeed flat stitch embroidery, which is different from the ones on the market. The items on sale are the same, and those pieces of embroidery should have come from the Yanran Embroidery Workshop in the city, the spring flowers and summer grass embroidered by the embroiderers there are very special, the servants will definitely not admit their mistakes."

Gui Nanny's words made Liu Shi completely believe Xie Shi's black heart. She slapped the chair and said angrily:

"I can't control you about the affairs of the Marquis of Changning, but if I don't punish you for this matter, maybe you won't have my mother in your heart." Liu Shi was unequivocal, and immediately shouted: " Come here, please bring up the family law, my Xie family did not give birth to such a person who confuses the public and disregards right and wrong, Gui Nanny, you come to execute the punishment, and give her ten hands, it is a lesson!"

Mrs. Xie immediately changed her face, not because Mrs. Liu said how heavy the punishment of these ten hands is, but this is completely a matter of face. If she really beats her down, then the prestige she has accumulated over the years will be gone. saved.
