Chapter 161 How to explain
Haiman subconsciously took a step back, and the dress wiped her side face and flew over. There seemed to be something hard on the dress, and there was a hot pain in her left cheek.
"Okay, how dare you throw the noble concubine's clothes on the ground, disrespectful to the queen's clothes, that is, disrespectful to the queen. You are just a little rough maid who dares to disrespect the noble concubine. It seems that I can't teach you a lesson!" The gorgeous woman's eyes widened, and she raised her arm and fanned down.
Hyman quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed her wrist, and stared at her coldly. "You threw away the clothes, and it should be you who are disrespectful to the noble concubine, right?"
The woman in Huafu didn't expect that Haiman dared to stop her and wanted to break free and fight again. She was helpless that she was not as strong as Haiman, and she couldn't help but be upset. "Okay, how dare you fight back?"
"This is not called counter-hand, this is called self-defense!"
The gorgeous woman was uncomfortable with Haiman's cold eyes and cring for no reason, but she was used to domage in the palace and naturally would not give in to a rough maid. "How dare you dare to talk to me like this? Do you know who I am?"
Heiman let go of his hand and glanced at her faintly, "I'm not interested in knowing." Although she dresses gorgeously, she has no self-restraint in her words and deeds. She will never be the master of any palace. At most, she is a good maid of honor.
"You... how dare you contradict me?" The gorgeous woman felt that she had the upper hand in both her actions and words. She was ashamed and angry, and her face turned blue.
Lin Ziqin heard that the noise outside was unusual. She wiped her face and hurried out. Seeing that Haiman was facing a gorgeous woman, she suddenly felt uneasy, "What's going on?"
The woman in gorgeous clothes turned her head to look up and down at Lin Ziqin, with undisguised contempt in her eyes, "Are you Qin Sihuan?"
"I am, who are you?" Lin Ziqin saw that she was aggressive, the person who came was not good, and her voice was a little timid.
"Me? I'm from Huixi Palace, and everyone calls me Cui Gu..."
Lin Ziqin's eyes lit up, "So you are Aunt Cui? I heard my godfather mention you. You are Xuerun's sister's wet nurse. I..."
"Bold!" Before Lin Ziqin finished speaking, Aunt Cui interrupted her sharply, "How dare you call the name of the noble concubine? It's okay if the maid of honor doesn't know the rules. As Si Huan, you don't know the rules?
Lin Ziqin lowered her head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the rules of the palace, so I accidentally said it..."
"Careless? Humph, where do you think it is in the palace? Can you muddle through if you are not careful? You'd better not forget your identity and speak carefully. Otherwise, we will make a basket and smear our noble concubine's face..."
When Haiman saw Lin Ziqin, she didn't say a word. She let Aunt Cui spit and teach her a lesson, and she was angry. "So what is the identity of Aunt Cui in the palace?"
"What?" Aunt Cui didn't react for a moment and was a little stunned.
"Qin Sihuan is a sixth-grade female official. What grade is Cui Gu?" Hyman stared at her in a faint tone.
Cui Gu's face suddenly didn't look good, "This..."
King Kangjing has repeatedly made military achievements. Although Qin Xuerun is not favored by the emperor, his status has risen steadily, from concubine to noble concubine. One person got the chicken and dog to heaven, and the people of Huixi Palace became majestic, especially Cuigu, who shouted all day long, as if she regarded herself as half a master. Qin Guifei spoiled her, and others didn't dare to say anything. They could only respect her three points in front of people and quietly scolded her behind her back.
In terms of grade, she is not even a third-class maid of honor. How can she compare with Lin Ziqin?
Hyman didn't want to cause trouble, but when he saw that this woman was so arrogant, he actually taught Lin Ziqin a lesson and was angry for a moment before he opened his mouth. At this time, when she saw that she was less arrogant, she also accepted it and quietly pulled Lin Ziqin, "Qin Sihuan, Cui Gu seems to be looking for you!"
Lin Ziqin has never been an official and can't put on an official shelf, let alone take the opportunity to get back all the lessons she had just received. She cheered up and asked with a smile, "Aunt Cui, what can I do for you?"
"What's the matter?" Speaking of this, Cui Gu's low momentum rose again. She bent down, fished the clothes that fell on the ground in her hand, and stuffed them into Lin Ziqin's arms hard. "Look for yourself!"
Lin Ziqin unfolded her clothes. This is a light blue palace dress. The cuffs and hem are decorated with patterns by inlaid yarn, and the petals are decorated with gold pieces and gems. The style is elegant and unique. Unfortunately, I don't know why there was a two-inch cut in the hem.
"This is the noblewoman's favorite dress. I only wore it once. Yesterday, I took it to the laundry room to clean it up, and it turned out like this. You are really bold. You don't count the most precious clothes of the noble concubine, and you hide them and send them back to Huixi Palace. You obviously despise the noble concubine and don't pay attention to the noble concubine! Qin Sihuan, how do you explain this to the noble concubine?
"Explain? Me?" Lin Ziqin was a little stunned.
"It's you, isn't it you? Aren't you Si Wan? If there is something wrong with your washing room, why don't you come to me? Aunt Cui stared at her angrily.
Lin Ziqin smiled bitterly. It seems that her official position is not completely empty. It's not her turn to do good things. If something goes wrong, she will be held responsible.
"How should I explain it?" She looked blank.
"How to explain?" Cuigu sneered, "If you damage the noble concubine's clothes, you are disrespectful to the noble concubine. Of course, you have to deal with it according to the palace rules. Is there any need to ask?"
Lin Ziqin also knows nothing about the palace rules. She doesn't know how to deal with it according to the palace rules. Just as she wanted to ask, she saw Jinggu rushing over, "What's going on? What are you talking about here?"
"Aunt Jing, you came just in time. You washed the house and caused trouble. Take a look!" Before others could speak, Cuigu pointed to the clothes in Lin Ziqin's hand and said.
Jingji saw Lin Ziqin's body and took over the clothes. At a glance, her face suddenly changed.
"Your Lord Si Huan doesn't seem to understand anything, but you should know that it's a crime to break the clothes of the upper hall?"
Jing's aunt glanced at her, "Of course I know!"
"Dear aunt, is it serious?" Lin Ziqin became more and more uneasy when she saw that Jing's face was extremely serious.
"Hmm." Jinggu answered coldly and looked at Cuigu, "Are you sure this dress was damaged in the laundry room?"
"What do you mean?" Aunt Cui stared angrily, "Isn't it your raccoon washing room damaged? Is it the noble concubine who broke it herself and wants to wrong you?"
"I didn't mean that!" Aunt Jing glanced at her and said, "I will investigate and give you an explanation!" After saying that, he ordered Haiman, "Go and call Alan from the ironing room!"
Hyman answered and went to find Alan.
"What? Is the noble concubine's clothes broken? Alan was eating. Hearing Hyman briefly talk about what had happened, he was so shocked that his chopsticks slipped from his hand and his face turned pale. Along the way, my legs kept trembling.
When everyone heard that something had happened, they ran to watch.
"Alan, are you responsible for the clothes of Empress Qin?" Jinggu asked coldly.
Alan nodded with a white face, "Yes!"
"So you found that your clothes were broken when ironing?"
"No, absolutely not!" Alan shook his head urgently, "Because it's the noble concubine's clothes, I was particularly careful when ironing. After ironing, I checked them carefully. The clothes were good and there was no damage."
Aunt Cui snorted disdainfully, "Of course you won't admit it!"
"What I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask A Ying. She marked it yesterday, and she can testify for me!"
Jinggu glanced at A Ying in the crowd, "A Ying, what did you say?"
"This..." A Ying flashed a hesitation on her face and shook her head quickly. "I don't know. When I marked it, Qin Guifei's clothes had been neatly folded and put in the box. I don't know if it's broken..."
"A Ying, how can you say that?" Alan was anxious, "You obviously took that dress on your body and said that if only you could wear such clothes..." Halfway through, she realized that she had made a mistake and quickly covered her mouth.
"Humph, look, I said it myself!" Aunt Cui grabbed the little braid and said, "You are so bold. As a rude maid of honor, you blasphem the noble concubine's clothes, talk wildly, and deceive the top and the bottom. What's wrong with you rebellious in the washing room?"
A Ying saw that she couldn't escape and quickly defended, "I compared that dress, but I really don't know whether the clothes are bad or not. I didn't look carefully..."
"Auntie, you have to make the decision for me. I didn't break the clothes!" Alan was also anxious. He knelt down and hugged her aunt's leg. "It's really not me..."
"How dare you say it's not you? You two stinky girls who don't know the thickness of heaven and earth, blasphem the noble concubine's clothes, and now you are still full of nonsense. You must punish you severely with palace rules. Aunt Cui's face looked fierce, "Come on, everyone beat her fifty sticks!"
"Ah?!" A Ying and Alan suddenly looked pale. Thirty sticks will die, and fifty sticks will definitely die!
"Wait!" Jinggu hurriedly shouted, "Cuigu, A Ying and Alan are the best and most careful and capable palace people in the washing room. They will not make such a mistake. There must be some misunderstanding here. Could it be that there is something wrong with the delivery of the father-in-law?
"Auntie, the father-in-law is only responsible for transportation. They can't touch the clothes, can they? Do you want to falsely slander the father-in-law and protect these two maids?
"I don't mean that, but things haven't been investigated yet!"
When Lin Ziqin saw that he was going to kill people, she hurriedly said, "Yes, it's too much to beat people before things are figured out, isn't it?"
"Yo, even Qin Sihuan wants to protect them? Well, since you are reluctant to beat them, you can take charge of it. Anyway, it's a problem in the laundry room, and you can't escape it. How about you and Jing's aunt getting 30 sticks each?
Lin Ziqin's face changed, "Can't this... be compensated?"
"Compensation? Ha, did I hear that right? You can't afford to sell all your laundry rooms. What are you going to pay for? Aunt Cui glanced at her disdainfully, "Anyway, I don't care. Either hand over the person who caused the trouble or hand over the intact clothes. It's up to you!"
The talker was unintentionally, and the listener was intentional. Hyman listened carefully next to him and bent the corners of his mouth, "If we can hand over the intact clothes, will you calm down?"
