Chapter 18 Rumors
The next day, there were indeed unclear rumors about the Second Miss and the Young Master of the Yunfu in the Earl's Mansion.

Wanli, as if she didn't know about it, was recuperating leisurely in her Meixin Garden as before, she should take a walk and read a book.

After breakfast, he went to say hello to Mrs. Qiu as if he didn't realize it.

Qiushi naturally heard some rumors in the mansion, and at first she was a little worried about Wanli, fearing that she would be disturbed by the rumors, but now she looks calm and calm, which makes Qiushi feel relieved.

Yesterday, the Qiu family regained control of the housekeeper of the backyard, and according to the rules, the original morning and evening schedules were restored, so today, all the female relatives in the mansion have come.

Xue Shi and Xia Wanyun were all dressed in plain clothes because they had a meal yesterday.

Aunt Bai was also the good concubine that Xia Muyi brought up when Xiaoyun was pregnant with Wanli. Counting the time of entering the door, she was earlier than Mrs. Xue, so she was considered an old man in the mansion, but Aunt Bai She has a gentle temperament, so she has always been tepid. She has a daughter Xia Wanqing under her knees, who also follows Bai's temperament, and has always been quiet.

In the previous life, Xia Wanqing had always had such a quiet temperament. When everyone was stepping on Xia Wanli, she couldn't see her and gave her a hand.

Because the Bai family has always been indisputable and did not displease the Xue family, Xia Wanqing finally found a good family and became an official wife.

This one, coming to pay respects to the Qiu family, is also gentle and gentle, no different from usual.

Aunt Shui was bought by Xia Muyi in the loft. She has a good appearance and is good at dressing up. She is Xia Muyi's favorite besides Mrs. Xue, but the old lady can't understand her background in the loft. I also don't like her strong wind and dust atmosphere, so I often speak nonsense about her.

Concubine Shui is well-behaved in front of the old lady after being frustrated a lot, she came to pay her respects today, she only wore a light pink dress, and there were only a handful of jewelry, but there was a bit of pity for me.

Aunt Qiao is the most trouble-free of all the aunts. As soon as she heard that Mrs. Xue was taken over by the old lady, she immediately became proud. After getting the news yesterday, she went to "visit" Mrs. Xue. He picked some words to poke Xue's heart.Xue was so angry that he didn't sleep well all night.

Her daughter Xia Wanyou is also very similar to her, she is usually very domineering, she is the most troublesome young lady in this house.

Come here today to say hello, the mother and daughter are also very happy, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are overjoyed.

Looking at the room full of women who came to pay their respects, Wanli curled the corners of her mouth viciously.

As the saying goes, three women play a show, and now, the women in this room are together, and I'm afraid they can't stop this morning even if they want to stop.

This Mrs. Qiao is a master who can't stop. No, just after meeting the old lady, she pointed at the orchid flower and looked at Mrs. Xue triumphantly and said:

"Hey, hey, I said where did this poor person come from? It turned out to be Aunt Xue! What happened to my sister today, I don't know what happened to me and she wore this plain white dress!"

After all, she seemed a little disgusted, took a handkerchief, and covered her mouth.

Wanli couldn't help sniggering when she heard this, this Xue Shi originally wore this white dress on purpose because of Mrs. Bo's distress, but from Qiao Shi's mouth, it turned out that she couldn't think about it. It's bad luck.

At Qiu's age, she was already in awe of ghosts and gods. After hearing Qiao's words, she really disliked Xue's mother and daughter.

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she felt angry from her heart. She just felt that Mrs. Qiao was born with a stinky mouth. She just liked to talk about what others didn't like to hear!
Twisting the veil, thinking about Qiu's temper, Xue bit the bullet and said:
"Mother, after the concubine went back to the yard yesterday, she thought carefully about her mother's lesson, and felt more and more wise about her decision, so today she deliberately brought Wan Yun in plain white, thinking that if she had the opportunity, she could eat vegetarian food with her. Chanting Buddha."

After hearing this, Qiu Shi felt a little more comfortable, and his complexion seemed to relax a little.

Qiao Shi, on the other hand, couldn't see Xue Shi's hypocrisy even more, curled his lips, and opened his mouth disapprovingly:
"Sister is such a smart mouth. Which family's rules say that eating vegetarian and chanting Buddha must be dressed in plain white. According to my sister's rough opinion, I think this plain white is really unlucky. It looks like a home. What the hell happened!"

After saying that, he shook his head, as if he had only told half the truth.

After hearing this, Qiu's expression eased up just now, but instantly became bad. He dropped the half-raised teacup heavily back on the table, pointed at Qiao and cursed:

"Okay! You can't say anything good with this mouth. When you can control this mouth, Muyi will remember to go to your room!"

Seeing that Qiu Shi really lost her temper, Mrs. Qiao immediately shut her mouth and sat up obediently.

Xue Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

But she didn't want to, Qiu Shi pointed at her again and continued:
"And you, you have been in charge of the trivial matters in the mansion for so many years, and you have deserved some credit for your hard work, but my old woman took your power for your own good, so that you can concentrate on teaching Wan, man! I won't treat you badly because of this, and I won't miss you a few clothes, and you don't want to wear plain white to find bad luck anymore!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xue felt hot on her face, and she hated this Qiao who was biting her mouth carelessly.

But on the surface, he still had to bite the bullet and pulled Xia Wanyun, who was also dressed in plain clothes, to admit his mistake to the old lady: "What the old lady taught me is that the servant girl knows her mistake."

After the previous farce, the old lady was no longer in the mood to watch several concubines bickering here.

Hastily established the rules, and sent them back.

Due to Wanli's policy of ignoring the policy, the rumors in the morning had intensified in the afternoon, and the rumors were so vivid that there were even rumors that someone saw Wanli and Young Master Yun alone in a room.

Seeing this, the Qiu family felt that these rumors could no longer be ignored, so she issued her first order after regaining power, that is, whoever spreads these rumors in the mansion will be directly beaten with thirty sticks, Then sell it to the toothmaid.

However, Qiu's high-pressure policy did not show the desired effect.

After the order was promulgated, a few young men who spread rumors were caught on the spot. Unexpectedly, these young men believed that what they said was true, and vowed to protest the old lady's protection of Xia Wanli, which made people in the house panic.

In this way, if the sale is ignored, it will seem to confirm Wanli's unclear rumors.
