037: Quiet trouble
The little girl drank for Chi Caiqing and had to stand there, but she didn't even dare to turn back.
"Did you say anything just now?" Chi Caiqing turned his head slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked the little girl.
"I'm a maidservant..." The little girl lowered her head and trembling, but she couldn't even speak.
"I'm asking you, where are you looking?" Chi Caiqing asked slowly.
"Oh, Sister Cai Qing," Zheng Yingxue hurriedly smiled and said to Chi Caiqing, "My good sister, there was a big girl in my room called Qiong'er. In the past few days, she took a leave because of something at home. Just ask this Xiuxiang to follow me to run an errand. Who knows that this girl is so rough that she really can't use her.
After saying that, he shouted softly, "Get out of here quickly."
"Hail." Chi Caiqing said, turned his head again, looked at Zheng Yingxue with a smile, and said, "Sister Yingxue, you don't know this, but such a girl is the most rare."
With that, he slowly turned his head to look at Xiuxiang and said word by word, "Because only they know how to tell the truth."
Seeing this, Zheng Yingxue couldn't say anything more. She had to sigh and sat there.
"Come here." Chi Caiqing called out to the little girl.
"Yes..." Xiuxiang answered and turned around tremblingly. First, she looked up at Zheng Yingxue. Seeing that Zheng Yingxue ignored her at all, she had to walk to Chi Caiqing.
"How old are you?" Chi Caiqing asked Xiuxiang gently.
"The second lady, Xiuxiang is thirteen years old." Xiuxiang lowered her head and replied.
"How many years have you been in the house?" Chi Caiqing asked again.
"One...one year." Xiuxiang quietly glanced at Zheng Yingxue, and her heart was already uncertain.
"Good boy, your years in the house are not short. Naturally, you know that as a girl, if you want to get ahead, you have to tell the truth to your master." Chi Caiqing said earnestly and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Yes." Xiuxiang answered in a low voice.
"Then tell me, who is sleeping outside in the middle of the night as you just said?"
Even though she had heard Chi Caiqing say a lot of words, when asked about this, Xiuxiang was still slightly shocked and looked up at Chi Caiqing with a frightened face.
Chi Caiqing also didn't say anything, but raised his eyebrows to look at Xiuxiang, as if waiting for Xiuxiang's answer.
"I... I said..." Xiuxiang said, and finally didn't dare to say it.
"say." A cold flash flashed in Chi Caiqing's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice.
"Go back, back to the second lady, the maid just said that Mrs. Rong slept out in the middle of the night and didn't go back until dawn." The more Xiuxiang said, the lower her voice became, and even her head was so low that she could hardly raise her head.
"What you said... is it true?" Chi Caiqing's eyes were shining one after another. She asked slowly, but suddenly patted the table hard. The tea cup on the table was shaken by the third aunt's sudden sound, but it squabbled Zheng Yingxue, hurriedly reached out and patted her chest and breathed.
"Xiuxiang, do you know that if you frame the master, you will be driven out of the house by a stick?" Chi Caiqing said harshly.
"Ah?" Xiuxiang was swayed by Chi Caiqing like a bolt from the blue above her head, and now she was dumbfounded.
"Well, I think you are talking nonsense." Chi Caiqing snorted coldly, and then raised his voice, "I think if I don't give you something powerful, you really don't know the serious consequences of falselying your master!"
"Second, second lady, the maidservant dares not, the maidservant is wronged." Xiuxiang was frightened. At that moment, she knelt down with a "plop" sound, and tears fell down and cried, "Second lady, the maidservant did not falsely accuse Mrs. Rong. The maidservant did come back when she saw Mrs. Rong Yin, and she came back with the second young master."
"What did you say?" Chi Caiqing even tightened her voice and stared at Xiuxiang. She walked over, grabbed Xiuxiang and asked, "Do you think she went back with the second young master Luo Feng?"
"Yes..." Xiuxiang was shocked by Chi Caiqing's reaction. She was so scared that she couldn't help stepping back. She looked at Chi Caiqing in panic and said, "It's back with the second young master. When I saw a figure at first, I thought that this was just the time of Yin. Before dawn, how could someone get up so early? But the two separated and walked to the door of the room. The maidservant looked over carefully, and then she saw that it was Mrs. Rong and the second young master..."
"Oh?" A subtle smile appeared on Chi Caiqing's face, and she paused, as if she was thinking about something. Then he turned his head and asked calmly, "Have you ever seen clearly that the person who came back with Mrs. Rong was the second young master Luo Feng?"
"I see it clearly." Xiuxiang was afraid of driving herself out of the house, so she couldn't help nodding repeatedly and said, "The maidservant absolutely saw it clearly."
"Good." Chi Caiqing let go of the fragrance and said with a smile, "Good boy, your young lady can have a girl like you who loves to tell the truth. She should promote you well."
With that, he walked to Zheng Yingxue's side again, stretched out his hand, patted Zheng Yingxue's hand gently, and sighed sincerely and said, "Good sister, look, how is this? There is such a shameful thing in our Hou family. Can this teach my sister what to do?
Zheng Yingxue had already seen Chi Caiqing's reaction, so she couldn't help sighing with Chi Caiqing, "Sister, don't worry. This matter is very important, and it's not as Xiuxiang said. Maybe there is something hidden in it. I think you, sister, don't act rashly, or turn big things into small things, turn small things into small things, and forget about it.
"My sister is right," Chi Caiqing hesitated for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "This matter is very important, and you can't make a difference. I think that my Houfu is also a big family that attaches great importance to fame, and such things must not be spread. What's more, Mrs. Rong always attaches great importance to fame, and she won't do that kind of thing. There must be something hidden."
"Exact, exactly." Zheng Yingxue answered repeatedly, so she stood up and said, "Sister Caiqing, let's take a rest first. I'll go back and change my clothes first. In the evening, I will come to drink and have fun with my mother. We won't get drunk."
"It's so good." Chi Caiqing smiled and got up to see him off.
"Sister Caiqing doesn't have to send it." Zheng Yingxue shook her hand repeatedly and said, "Just prepare the banquet and wait for me to eat."
After saying that, Xiuxiang, who had been frightened for a long time, left together.
Looking at the figure of the master and servant, a smile appeared quietly on Chi Caiqing's face.
"With just a few melons, do you want to make me use Chi Caiqing like a fool?" Chi Caiqing smiled coldly and said to herself, "So what if you put that face down?" I'm afraid she fell down today. You will take the position tomorrow. What's the benefit to me if you go?
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room.
"Miss," looking back at Chi Caiqing, who had returned to the house, Xiuxiang quietly asked Zheng Yingxue, "Do you think she will believe it?"
"A letter is a letter, but you may not have the courage to do it." Zheng Yingxue's lips burst into a vague smile and answered.
"So what's the use of our performance today?" Xiuxiang sighed in frustration.
"So you girl is so careless," Zheng Yingxue glanced at Xiuxiang and sneered, "She dares not do it, but she will believe it, and she will slowly pay attention to it. You must remember that there is no cat in the world that doesn't steal. If the cat tastes fishy, how can it easily give up?
The smile on Zheng Yingxue's face gradually expanded, and her whole body suddenly felt comfortable. She gently opened her red lips and said word by word, "Sooner or later, things will go towards Miss Ben's will. Look at it."
"Ah, I owe you." Even though it was covered with a brocade quilt, Lv Ning still sneezed heavily.
"Madam, is it cold again?" Hearing this, Yan Cui got up in a hurry, came over, handed the newly warmed hand stove to Lu Ning, and asked with concern.
Lv Ning stretched out her hand from the brocade quilt, took the stove, held it in her arms, and sighed, " Maybe I really can't stand the cold on the mountain. My body is actually this weak. It's just staying in the mountains at night, and it's cold."
"Madam, I think that the mountain is so cold, that we servants will be frozen tightly, not to mention the body of my wife?" Yan Cui sighed, "It's also because the maidservant didn't remember to add a quilt for you at night. It's really the maidservant's carelessness."
"Look at you," Lu Ning stared at Yan Cui helplessly and said, "It's your fault that your wife was robbed by the bad guys, and it's also your fault to get a cold? Why don't you get cold for my wife tomorrow? I'll just eat and sleep.
Yan Cui was said by Lu Ning, couldn't help laughing, and then lowered her head in embarrassment. Suddenly, he said, "Madam, Mr. Chi Caiqing sent someone to greet his wife, and he wanted to call his wife to have a drink.
"Bah," Shui Zhuer said aside, "What's her peaceful heart? Knowing that my wife is infected with wind and cold, I don't know how to visit her. What kind of wine do you want to eat? I really don't have a tutor."
"Since she came to invite her, she also did her best," Lu Ning held the stove tightly, moved in the quilt, and said, "Why do you have to be so hostile to her? Just live our own."
"Who wants to live a good time?" But when he saw that the curtain was raised, Luo Jin, who was dressed in court clothes, came in.
"Marquis," Yan Cui called in shock, and then hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the marquis."
"Hmm." Luo Jin nodded, walked into the room, and then reached out his hand to untie his court suit. Yan Cui hurriedly took it over, folded the dress carefully, and handed it to the little left and right Luo'an behind Luo Jin.
"I just went down the mountain. Why did I get the wind chill?" Luo Jin sat down at the table opposite Lu Ning and looked at Lv Ning with a smile.
Lv Ning was lying in the quilt. She curled up into a ball and held the stove tightly, leaving only one head exposed. At this time, when she saw Luo Jin coming in, she was a little uncomfortable.
Although this physical face and Luo Jin are married, they have not officially had a marriage, and Lv Ning is still a little resistant to Luo Jin. At that moment, he shrank into the quilt and only showed his eyes to look at Luo Jin.
Luo Jin sat down, but saw that Lu Ning in front of him was in the quilt, like a ball of cotton bag, but only exposed his hairy head and a pair of aura-forced eyes, staring at himself. This look was very funny.
At this moment, he got up and walked over.
