Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at him, Liu's face immediately turned pale and white.She stood up, looked at Wen Qinshi, and defended herself sadly.

"Mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law really doesn't know about this, please ask mother-in-law to learn from her!"

"You don't know?" The old lady snorted coldly, her eyes seemed to be suddenly poisoned, and she shot out a cold light, "Let me ask you, have you been making arrangements for these three hairpins all the time? Only you know about this pendant." When did you send it to the mansion and where did you put it? Why did that evil maid just choose today to slander Hui’er? And you clearly sent that evil maid to Hui’er, didn’t you?”

Faced with the old lady's aggressive questioning, Mrs. Liu was speechless.All these clues indicate that this matter is indeed related to her, even if she has a hundred mouths, it is difficult to tell one from the other.She was so pissed off!

"grandmother!"

At this moment, Shangguanhui, who was standing quietly beside Wenqin, suddenly walked in front of her and knelt down.

"Hui'er has something to ask for!"

Looking at this sensible and kind-hearted granddaughter, Wenqin couldn't help but soften her expression.Obviously being wronged, the child didn't cry or make trouble.This quietness alone made it impossible not to like her.

"If you have anything to say, just stand up and say it."

Shangguan Hui still stubbornly knelt on the ground, looking into Wenqin's gentle eyes, a soft smile swayed from the corner of her lips.

"Grandmother, today is your birthday, and it should make you happy. Hui'er doesn't want you to worry about these things anymore, so I ask grandma to do the same as Hui'er, as if today's incident never happened, and calm down."

Wenqin nodded repeatedly, with a satisfied chuckle on her face.She really saw the child right.

And Shangguan Wenyong, who was sitting at the bottom, heard his daughter's words, and couldn't help being moved a little bit with his cold expression.He didn't know that this child who had been neglected by him for many years was so kind and sensible.

In fact, Shangguan Hui knew better than anyone else that the old lady would not severely punish Mrs. Liu.No matter whether this matter was done by Mrs. Liu or not, she is the head mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, so her status is so precious.Moreover, the power of her mother and brother, General Liu Yan, is in full swing.It doesn't matter if the Liu family is punished alone, if the prime minister's mansion and the Liu family are turned against each other because of this, the gain will outweigh the loss.

It is precisely because of these many considerations that the old lady turned away a group of people.It's all right to give Liu a warning in private.And her timely intercession just gave the old lady a chance to go downhill.

Not only the old lady, but even her prime minister's father's impression of her will be greatly changed from now on.Her act of buying people's hearts with two birds with one stone has laid a good foundation for her future road to the palace.After all, if she wants to enter the palace, only the old lady is not enough.She needs the help of Shangguan Wenyong, the prime minister on the left...

With Shangguanhui's intercession, the old lady just reprimanded Mrs. Liu and let her go back to her yard.Liu's heart was filled with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.And Shangguanhui, who benefited the most, also bid farewell to Wenqin's family, and took Qing'er back to his Hexiangju.

"If you have anything to say, just ask."

After returning to her own room, she closed the door tightly, only she and Mei Yun were left in the room, Shangguan Hui didn't need to worry about anything when talking.

Qing'er frowned slightly, and the light in the depths of her eyes revealed a little bit of confusion and puzzlement.

"Qing'er doesn't understand why Miss Liu pleaded for mercy? She almost hurt you!"

Sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, Shangguan Hui took a cup of tea to moisten her dry lips and tongue, raised her eyes to look at Qing'er, and a smile that seemed to be not a smile came out from the corner of her mouth.

"It's not Mrs. Liu who harmed me. If Mrs. Liu is really punished today, she will certainly blame me for this. Then she really complied with the trick of that insidious person 'killing two birds with one stone'."
