Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 183 Actually Singing a Double Reed

Most wars among women have two characteristics. One is undeclared war, which erupts directly without picking a time or place.The second is to fight a protracted war, first to stand still, observe the enemy's situation, and then premeditate and find an opportunity to open a station. This kind of protracted and procrastinated.

Gu Qinglian chose the latter instead, waiting for the opportunity to avenge her shame, before she launched a counterattack, Liu Xu had already chosen the first method and attacked her directly.

This time they chose not Gu Qinglian, but her personal servant girl Fangxin.

Entering the hot summer, the sky is blue, with a few white clouds floating, and the sun is high in the sky.At noon, the sun was like a big hot furnace in the sky, not only burning there boldly, but also pouring the raging flames to the earth, the whole earth seemed to be about to burn and became bright.The earth is scorching hot everywhere, a gust of wind blows, and a heat wave rolls up on the ground, which is so hot that it is difficult to breathe.

On such a hot summer afternoon, the Begonia courtyard was peaceful.Gu Qinglian was lying in the inner room taking an afternoon nap.Fangxin was packing up the books Gu Qinglian had read and the leftover fruit plate in the room.The little maid Cui'er and the other maids also yawned and rested on the pillars of the porch.

The peach tree in front of the door seemed to be exhausted by the hot sun, and its head drooped like a defeat. The leaves were curled into thin strips. The tree didn't know why it changed from translucent green to gray overnight, but it didn't. People just noticed.The cicada on the tree couldn't hold on any longer, and kept screaming there.Perhaps it was also because of this tree that everyone was inactive, as if they hadn't woken up.

From afar, Cui'er saw Mama Liu leading a group of maids and women to the Begonia courtyard in a grand manner.Seeing them all approaching aggressively, they knew something was wrong and rushed into the inner room to report.

This turbulent momentum startled the drowsiness of the little maids.They all cheered up and stood aside tremblingly.

Fangxin learned that she hurried out of the inner room door, seeing such a fight, she knew there was trouble, so she greeted her with a smile:
"Mother Liu, my young mistress is taking a nap, you go outside to have a drink of tea and rest for a while, and let the slaves go and pass on the news."

Mother Liu's face was very gloomy, she glared at Fang Xin with a strong anger and said: "No need, you can pass it on quickly." Her tone was cold, and her murderous look was very scary.

In the back room, Gu Qinglian also heard the sound of messy footsteps and conversations outside. She sat up from the imperial concubine's couch in a daze, and when she saw Fangxin coming in, she asked, "Who is here? Why is there such a big battle?"

Fangxin's complexion was not very good, she put her fingers up and whispered softly on her mouth, then said in a low voice: "Mother Liu from Ronghuayuan brought a group of people to wait. Young mistress, get up quickly, and watch their battle, If you come here today, I’m afraid there might be some troubles.”

Seeing Fangxin's worried face, Gu Qinglian was much calmer.

Has she encountered fewer troubles since time travel?

What kind of storms and waves have never been experienced, what are these maids and women?

Gu Qinglian got up lazily, straightened her clothes and hair accessories, and came out of the inner room with Fangxin's support, her eyes met Liu's mother's staring goldfish-like eyes.Her slender jade hands stroked the somewhat disheveled temples on her forehead, her expression was as calm as water, and she asked with a smile: "Mother Liu is here, why don't you go to the side hall to have a drink of tea and rest?"

Madam Liu frowned and stared at the pretty Gu Qinglian in front of her eyes, and said in a respectful tone: "Young Mistress, this servant is ordered by my wife, and I need your cooperation in some matters." Although she paused, her tone was still full of love. After smelling the gunpowder, he continued: "If the servants are disrespectful, I hope the young mistress will not blame you." After finishing speaking, he led all the women to rush into the house.

The maids standing on the porch were so frightened when they saw the situation, they all looked at each other in panic, and no one stepped forward to stop them.

"Mother Liu" Gu Qinglian stood in front of her with a majestic voice, and stopped her: "Mother Liu can tell me what's the matter with you. Why are you so forceful? There is still something in your eyes." Am I the eldest young mistress? Are there any rules?" She had always been polite to her before, because she respected her as an old man next to Mrs. Shen, but now seeing her push her way like this, she didn't take her seriously at all, and felt that there was something wrong in her heart. The fire is slowly burning up.

Seeing that Gu Qinglian came forward to stop her, Ms. Liu could only hold back the anger in her heart, and said respectfully: "Back to young mistress, this servant is ordered by my wife to search for something."

Search, you can use words.Gu Qinglian cast a contemptuous look at Liu's mother, and said calmly, "Oh, what is it that takes so much trouble, I want to hear it."

Before Madam Liu came here, Mrs. Shen had ordered that she could search the house regardless of whether Gu Qinglian wanted it or not, and she didn't have to ask her permission. With Mrs. Shen as her backing, she dared to be so reckless and not put Gu Qinglian in the house. in the eyes.Seeing that Gu Qinglian insisted on obstructing her, she has experienced her temper in the past, and she still has some scruples in her heart. It seems that she has to get her permission first, so she can only continue to patiently reply: "It's Aunt Liu's mutton fat." The white jade bracelet is lost."

Gu Qinglian's pretty eyebrows slightly moved, and said in a leisurely manner: "Finding things is of course important. Isn't it ridiculous to come to my Begonia Court instead of looking for Aunt Liu's things in Lihua Garden?"

All the maidservants in the Begonia Yard were also puzzled, and turned their eyes to look at Mama Liu.

"When Aunt Liu greeted his wife just now, the wife found that the suet white jade bracelet on her wrist was missing. The servants are here to search." Mother Liu added an explanation.

"Since Ms. Liu said so, if I'm blocking it, it's as if I've taken it for myself." Gu Qinglian stared at Ms. Liu fiercely, her eyes were about to shoot a sharp sword.Immediately said: "Please!" Dodging to make way.

Mother Liu led everyone into the house, but after a lot of trouble, they couldn't find it.Mother Liu was in a state of sluggishness.

Didn't find it, how did she deal with Mrs. Shen, and how did she face Gu Qinglian's censure? When she was in a difficult situation, Mrs. Shen brought catkins and Aunt Ding also came to the Begonia courtyard.

All the maids and women saluted them one after another, and Gu Qinglian also slowly stepped forward and said, "Daughter-in-law welcomes mother."

Mrs. Shen walked straight into the main hall as if she didn't exist.

After Gu Qinglian hurriedly gave Fangxin a wink, she followed respectfully.Entering the main hall, the female relatives sat in order according to their seniority and juniority.

Mrs. Shen sat upright in the upper seat, lowered her brows slightly, and said to Mother Liu, "Did you find it?"

Mother Liu hurriedly stepped forward, and timidly replied: "Go back to Madam, under the tables and chairs on the ground, the slaves and maidservants have already looked for them, and there are none."

Fangxin led all the maidservants in with tea, served tea for the masters and then stood behind Gu Qinglian.

After listening to Madam Liu's reply, Mrs. Shen lowered her head in silence, picked up the tea bowl and blew gently.

Liu Xu who was sitting below heard it, raised her eyebrows slightly at Aunt Ding who was next to her, and Aunt Ding also glanced back, after the two of them understood, Aunt Ding suddenly asked Mother Liu: "On the bed, have you searched in the cabinet? "

What does this mean?Gu Qinglian looked at Aunt Ding with cold eyes.

Mother Liu hurried to see Aunt Ding, only to see that she was holding a tea bowl, her eyes seemed to remind her.Ms. Liu was not confused, she came to her senses immediately, she turned her head and replied to Mrs. Shen: "I dare not make any claims on this matter."

What she meant was very clear, but she hadn't searched. As for whether to search, she had to ask Mrs. Shen for instructions.

For a moment, the expressions of the people in the room were different, Fangxin only felt that the atmosphere was different, and she stroked Gu Qinglian's back with her hand, which meant to remind that the situation was not good.

"Lian'er, can you see it?" Mrs. Shen said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.Smart people are fine, even the little maids feel that something is wrong and look at each other.

It would be a lie to say that she is not angry, Gu Qinglian only felt her chest swell, and it was uncomfortable to hold her breath, but the more this happened, the more she had to calm down, Gu Qinglian took a deep breath, and said resolutely: "Daughter-in-law listen to mother. "

Gu Qinglian knew in her heart that she might not be able to hide.

As for the search order, Mrs. Shen still gave it, and if I can't find it by then, let's see what she says!
Mrs. Shen showed a troubled expression, holding the tea bowl and blowing it all the time. The reason why she came was because the catkins said it was to see the situation. She didn't expect the matter to develop to this point. Of course she knew that if she gave the order and searched again If it doesn't come, how should it end? I am also troubled in my heart.

Liu Xu raised her eyebrows at Aunt Ding again, and winked. Aunt Ding put down the tea bowl, looked at Mrs. Shen firmly and said, "Of course I don't need the room of the young mistress, but it's better to search the rooms of other people." Then she smiled at Gu Qinglian and said: "Young Mistress, the one who cleans up will be cleared up by himself, and you can search to get rid of the relationship, so that everyone will not gossip and gossip."

Gu Qinglian sneered in her heart, it's none of your business with Aunt Ding, it's not your fault.

She couldn't help feeling suspicious in her heart, Auntie Ding seemed to be too active today, in the past she would hide whenever she could, why is she like this today.

The development of the matter was always being led by her, where did she have the confidence to search the house.

Thinking of this level, Gu Qinglian panicked inexplicably, and saw Aunt Ding and Liu Xu's eyes meet again, and her heart skipped a beat.Suddenly realized, there must be something tricky hidden in it?
But she has already given the right to speak to Mrs. Shen. Now if she turns over the cards to stop the house search, it will make people suspicious. Based on her understanding of Mrs. Shen, if she objects at this time, Mrs. Shen will definitely decide to search the house, or what? Words are not good.Maybe, Mrs. Shen has some scruples in her heart, so she won't search, or maybe.

Liu Xu spoke slowly, one word at a time: "Mother, if it's anything else, the daughter-in-law will stop here. But what was lost was the mutton fat white jade bracelet that the mother gave the daughter-in-law on the day of her wedding. If she can't find it, the daughter-in-law My heart is also uneasy..." As he spoke, he choked up, and crystal tears rolled down his face.

Gu Qinglian watched these two people talking to each other as if they were acting, and couldn't help but feel a fire in her heart, and finally her eyes inevitably fell on Mrs. Shen.

This trick really works!

Seeing Liu Xu's sad appearance, Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it, so she said bravely, "Lian'er, you only need to do a search. If you can't find it, you will be cleared." She said while looking at Gu Qinglian, Concealing the meaning of entrustment, it seems to let Gu Qinglian give orders.

I was innocent, so how can I pay it back!
This mother-in-law's words are really skillful, really tight!

For a broken bracelet, because of someone else's words, he came to my house to ransack my house, and he took no responsibility for it.

It's my fault if I can't find it.

Gu Qinglian was furious in her heart, she really wanted to kick them out after scolding them all one by one.It's just in the head, in the heart.At the moment, she had no choice but to swallow her anger, trying her best to conceal the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart, a flash of anger flashed in her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, she changed into an expression of indifference and said: "Your mother will obey, and my daughter-in-law will obey."

She still didn't want the order to search the house to come from her own mouth.Since she was going to tear her face apart, she wasn't afraid of it.But she won't be the one to tear it up first.

If you want to tear it up, it's up to Mrs. Shen to tear it up. If you want to get rid of the responsibility, you can get rid of it. How can it be such a good thing!

Today, she wants to see what tricks they can come up with!
Mrs. Shen's complexion was purple, and she seemed to be extremely annoyed. As expected, this unpleasant daughter-in-law threw her a difficult problem again, and said disgustedly: "In that case, why don't you come, search. Even young mistress's room together."

Mrs. Shen bit the latter sentence very hard, as if she was saying it for Gu Qinglian to hear.

It seems that she really hates Gu Qinglian, and even did not save her face in front of the servants, embarrassing her.

When such a heavy word was thrown out, everyone had different expressions of shock, only Gu Qinglian looked indifferent.

She remained calm, with her brows furrowed, she picked up the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp.The Longjing tea in the bowl tastes like coptis.Only Fangxin beside her knows the taste.She gently helped Gu Qinglian straighten her back from behind, which was a bit of relief.

So far, they can only fulfill their wishes!

I hope it was just a false alarm!
