Chapter 212 Angry from shame
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. I heard what happened today." Tang Xiuwen hugged Qiao Yueru in his arms with heartache and patted her back gently.
"Yesterday at the Censor's residence, Li Xiaoxiao first designed to embarrass me, and then pushed me into the lake to vent her anger. Fortunately, someone found me in time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me now." Qiao Yueru cried like rain, feeling so aggrieved. She turned things completely upside down and said that she was the victim.
After hearing this, Tang Xiuwen became furious. That bitch Li Xiaoxiao was simply going too far. It was obvious that she was bullying their family. Although she was a concubine, she gave birth to three children for the Marquis's Mansion. Why did she, a granddaughter who had just been found, bully others like this?
Seeing that it was getting so late, he had no choice but to let Qiao Yueru stay for the night and take her to see the old woman early tomorrow morning.
In other mansions, concubines would be submissive when they saw the wife, but it was different in the marquis's mansion.
Because Lin Wanqiu was gentle and good-tempered, and was kind to both servants and her concubine, that was why Tang Xiuwen dared to secretly sell Si Qingxin.
Early in the morning, Tang Xiuwen brought Qiao Yueru to Yangxinxuan, which was the largest and best courtyard in the marquis's mansion. When Tang Xiuwen saw everything here and then looked at her own courtyard, she felt unwilling.
Ever since she entered the Marquis' Mansion, she has been suppressed by Lin Wanqiu. Now her granddaughter is also suppressed by Lin Wanqiu's granddaughter. She was so angry that she didn't sleep well last night.
When she arrived, Wang Qiuhuo was paying her respects to the old lady Lin Wanqiu. Yes, although Wang Qiuhuo was her daughter-in-law, because she was a concubine, according to the rules, the daughter-in-law only needed to pay her respects to the wife and call her aunt.
Seeing her come in, Wang Qiuhe bowed to her and said, "Greetings to Auntie."
"Yeah." Tang Xiuwen agreed casually and found a stool to sit down without any hesitation.
"I haven't come to see you for a few days. How are you doing lately?"
"Now that my daughter is back, of course I'm in better health." The old lady looked at her with an extremely cold tone, even with disgust.
"Congratulations, big sister. It's not easy to find you after so many years. I'm here this time for a small matter. Yueru, come in." Tang Xiuwen shouted towards the door.
Qiao Yueru walked in carefully with her head down, bowed politely to the old lady and Wang Qiuhe, then walked obediently to Tang Xiuwen's side, saying nothing.
Wang Qiuhe was about to get up and leave when she saw Qiao Yueru coming. She knew something must happen soon, so she decided not to leave and picked up the teacup, drinking tea seriously, waiting to see the show.
The old lady had a gloomy face. She had known about what happened yesterday for a long time. She had not yet gone to settle the score with Qiao Yueru, but Qiao Yueru came to her on her own. She wanted to see what Qiao Yueru was up to.
"Sister, I don't want to interfere in the children's affairs, but that Li Xiaoxiao is really rude. I'm sure you know what happened yesterday. She targeted Yueru everywhere. Fortunately, Yueru is sensible and didn't bother with her. If it were someone else, I'm afraid the matter would not be let go so easily." Tang Xiuwen came up and started to accuse Li Xiaoxiao, and every word she said was Li Xiaoxiao's fault.
"She is a child of a peasant family, and that cannot be changed. But when she comes to the capital, she has to curb her petty temper and stop being so ignorant and stirring up trouble. Otherwise, she might bring trouble to our mansion and bring shame to it." Tang Xiuwen spoke very logically, as if it were true.
Wang Qiuhuo lowered her head and drank her tea, laughing in her heart. Qiao Yueru was really good at confusing right and wrong, making herself sound like a victim. When it came to shame, she was the one who brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion.
"Tang Xiuwen, you are just a concubine in terms of status. How could you speak to me in such an attitude? Am I too lenient with servants?" The old lady said sternly with a stern look on her face.
Tang Xiuwen didn't expect the old woman to react so strongly. She said, "Big sister, you are so angry. The child is immature. As the elders, we have to control him. Otherwise, if he gets into trouble one day, it will be too late to say anything."
"Hmph, how much do you know about what happened yesterday? Where did you hear it from? You come here to make trouble with my son without finding out the truth," the old lady slammed the table, frightening Qiao Yueru so much that she shrank back behind Tang Xiuwen again.
"Sister, what are you doing? I'm doing this for the good of our mansion. You may favor Li Xiaoxiao, but if you continue this way, you'll regret it one day." Tang Xiuwen didn't expect her to react so strongly. How come she felt confident now that her daughter was found?
"It was Qiao Yueru who started the trouble yesterday. Xiaoxiao just responded normally. Later, she wanted to push Xiaoxiao into the lake. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao was smart and dodged away. That's why Qiao Yueru fell into the lake by herself. I haven't gone to look for her yet, but she has the nerve to come to me." The old lady said seriously. Looking at Qiao Yueru's eyes, she wanted to go up and slap her twice to vent her anger.
"Why are you trying to scare Yueru like this? Li Xiaoxiao will naturally not admit what she did. Yueru has always been kind-hearted and would never do such a thing." Tang Xiuwen stiffened his neck, stood up and protected Qiao Yueru behind him.
Wang Qiuhuo, who was watching the fun, was so happy that her heart was beaming with joy. The louder the noise, the happier she was. She crossed her legs unconsciously and listened leisurely, feeling so happy.
The old lady was furious. What a shameless guy! He did something wrong but still had the nerve to blame others. She was about to say something.
Suddenly there was a sneer from the door.
Several people in the room subconsciously looked towards the door, and saw a woman appear at the door. She was wearing a pomegranate red gold-thread cloud brocade buttoned jacket, a peach pink pleated skirt, a lily bun, and a pair of hollow kingfisher-inlaid phoenix-head hairpins on her head, which jingled as she walked.
She had a bright and pretty face, with black eyes that were crystal clear and as bright as agate. The sunlight behind her enveloped her whole body, making her look like a fairy walking out of a painting, sacred and inviolable.
The people in the room were in a trance for a moment. Li Xiaoxiao walked forward and bowed to the old lady: "Greetings to grandma."
Then he bowed to Wang Qiuhe who was sitting beside him and said, "Aunt."
The old lady finally reacted and waved at her with a smile, motioning her to come over.
Li Xiaoxiao had a smile on her face, pretending she didn't see Qiao Yueru and Tang Xiuwen: "Grandma, I see you don't look very well today. You are old, and it's not worth getting angry over some dirty things. I would be sad if you hurt yourself."
