Reborn Daughter: Enchanting Prince Concubine

Chapter 6
I heard yesterday that Xue's arrest of a girl named Ruobai seems to be related to Wanli's previous encounter with bandits.

I thought it was just a girl, since something went wrong, I just dismissed it casually, but now if I know that this girl was sent by Weiyuan Houfu, I can't deal with it so easily.

Although the Marquis and the Earl sounded like they were only one level behind, the Duke of Zhongyong did not have any real power, and it was actually just a false position, while the Marquis of Weiyuan actually held a lot of power.

Therefore, the face of the Marquis of Weiyuan must be scrupled.

In particular, her Qiu family was related to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and it was related to her family's face, so of course she had to go to the first trial.

Thinking of this, Qiu looked around and saw that Xue's eyes were vacillating, seeming to hesitate to speak, so she said, "Why, Aunt Xue, you seem to know this girl?"

When Mrs. Xue heard the name Nuobai, she thought of what Xia Wanli was going to mention. Seeing that Mrs. Qiu brought the topic to her, she stopped hesitating. So what if Yuanhou sent it, Zuo won't be bigger than her.

It's just that I thought it wouldn't take much energy to deal with a maid, and Xia Wanli has never been very sad about things around her, so Xue Shi didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

But I didn't expect that today, I would say it in front of the old lady.In this case, the matter is not yet fully prepared, and it is not the best time to take it out at this time.The old lady has been in the back house for so many years, it is hard to guarantee that she will not see something.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help feeling a little bit dissatisfied with Xia Wanli from the bottom of my heart, thinking that Xia Wanli had taken some wrong medicine today, and this early morning mess would make her unhappy.

Xue Shi twisted the handkerchief inadvertently, pretending to be ignorant and said: "Oh? Why would mother ask such a question? According to Second Miss, this is the girl next to Second Miss. How would I know?"

Seeing this, Wanli knew that Ruobai had ordered someone to tie her up to Ruobai. The reason she said what she said now was that she had just been manipulated by her grandmother, and she was afraid of losing her trust. Listen to it with grandma.

This Xue Shi probably also knows that Ruobai is now related to the Weiyuan Hou Mansion, so she can no longer deal with it casually. Presumably she is also afraid that this matter will be investigated and found on herself, so she pretends to understand Confused, want to have a step down.

However, Wanli's original purpose today was not to thoroughly investigate this matter. Firstly, she was not fully prepared, and secondly, she didn't want to bother her grandmother too much because of this matter.Therefore, I am happy to act with her.

Bending the corners of her lips, Xia Wanli pretended to be hesitant and said, "My aunt probably doesn't know yet, but Aunt Jinhong, who is next to my aunt, sent someone to take Ruobai away. Li'er knows in her heart that my aunt has always been the most merciful, so she must If she didn't know about this, Li'er wanted to go to Auntie and talk to Auntie about it after visiting her grandmother, but she didn't expect to meet Auntie at Grandmother's place, so Li'er saved her trip."

After all, some thin sweat oozes from his forehead, which seems a little weak, so he stretches out his hand, picks up the handkerchief, and rubs his forehead.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was astonished as if surprised: "What, when did this happen?"

Then she turned her head and called Jin Hong over, and pretended to shout: "Bold servant, how dare you go past me and touch the people around Second Young Lady without permission? Tell me, who ordered you?"

"Your servant is wronged!" Jin Hong lay on the ground and yelled, "Yesterday, it was Xiao Dingzi, who accompanied the second lady in the car to visit the mother's grave, to find the servant, and said that he had overheard Miss Ruobai and the driver of the car before. Lao Li's conversation, he said that he heard that it was the bandit that Miss Ruobai asked Lao Li to find! After hearing this, the servant did not dare to make any claims, and took someone to detain Ruobai after he reported it to his aunt. .”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue seemed to have some memories, and then she seemed to have some understanding, and said to the old lady: "Yesterday, Jin Hong came to report to the concubine and said that he had caught the suspect who colluded with bandits. It's just that I didn't know that the suspect was someone close to the second lady, and I blamed this servant, and I didn't explain the matter clearly, so I was troublesome."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Qiu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since the suspect has been found, he must have been arrested earlier. It can't be said that you are all wrong, but this is Li'er after all. The girl next to you made a big fuss and affected your reputation, but you didn't think carefully."

"What my mother said is that if I knew it was the person next to the second miss, I should wait for the second miss to wake up to deal with the concubine's situation." Xue returned.

Seeing this, Qiu Shi nodded.

Wanli looked at it, but couldn't help sneering in her heart.

This Mrs. Xue is used to acting well, even her grandmother told her to scare her, but Xia Wanli, who has resurrected her life, understands that if she hadn't preemptive strikes today, she might have dealt with Ruobai behind her back in a short time. up.And because of this incident, news spread in the mansion that Ruobai was silenced because he knew that he had been bullied by bandits, so that it was spread throughout Tiancheng that the second lady of Uncle Zhongyong's mansion was killed by bandits with perverted hobbies. The news of the loss of innocence was kidnapped, and after Xia Wanli found out, she clarified, but no one believed it anymore.

Seeing that Wanli didn't make a sound, Qiu thought that she was so sad because she couldn't accept the betrayal of the people around her for a while, so she comforted her and said, "Li'er, don't be sad, if the people around you really have something like this... Grandmother will find a better maid for you."

Xia Wanli raised her head and saw her grandmother's kind and gentle eyes, her cold heart quietly regained some warmth, and a pretty smile appeared on her pale face, "Don't worry, grandma, Li'er is not sad, I'm just very curious. Although Ruobai is not a child of the family, he was specially sent by his grandfather. Li'er has always been kind to her. If she stays by Li'er's side obediently, Jin Yiyu will be indispensable in the future, not to mention prosperity. What's more, besides, betraying the master is a serious crime, Li'er really can't figure out what kind of benefits this thief promised Ruobai, so that she dared to take such a risk and betray Li'er like this."

"Well, yes, what Li'er said is reasonable, but there are doubts about this matter." Qiu Shi said.

"Grandmother, didn't Aunt Jin Hong say that there is a witness?" Xia Wanyun, who had been silent for a long time after being scolded, said at this time.

Xia Wanli heard this, but an inexplicable meaning flashed in her eyes, "Sister Shu reminded me that grandma might as well bring Ruobai, the little Dingzi who accompanied the car, and Lao Li who was driving the car together for trial."

Qiu Shi nodded and said: "Well, what you said makes sense, let's do what Li'er wants."

Hearing this, Xue's expression was suddenly a little strange, "Mother, the little Dingzi who was accompanying the car was indeed detained by the concubines, but the old Li who was driving the car couldn't come."
