Chapter 6 Punishing the Evil Slave 1
Xia Mengxi was stunned, as if she had never seen such a Xia Mengning before. Looking at her standing there, she was wearing a long moon-white embroidered lotus skirt, a cyan brocade ribbon around her waist, a sky-to-fronted horse coat, and the lotus leaves piled up while walking, only seemed to be more and more and more beautiful.
"Okay, it's good to come. Let's all sit down." Xia Mengning straightened up and was ready to sit down, but Xie waved to her, "Ning'er, come and sit here."
Xia Mengning nodded and walked over and sat down with a smile on her face. The whole movement was flowing without any fluctuation. Xie nodded with satisfaction. The granddaughter inherited the advantages of her grandmother and her mother. Although she was still young, it was not difficult to see that she was a complete beauty.
Xia Mengxi's eyes darkened and she looked at her mother. Fang gave her a slightly calm and impatient look and sat down.
"Ning'er happened to say hello today, but my daughter-in-law fell behind." Fang took a handkerchief to cover the corners of her mouth. Xia Mengning sneered in her heart. Sure enough, it was the cruel Fang. Did she secretly say that she didn't go to say hi to you first?
"Ning'er originally wanted to come here to invite her grandmother to see her mother, but she didn't expect to come early. She talked with her grandmother here to relieve boredom. The mother wouldn't blame her daughter, would she?"
Fang's face was a little blue. Xia Mengning smiled. Didn't you let your grandmother wait here for so long?
Xie only felt that this granddaughter seemed to be a little different, and she seemed to be more tily than before.
"My sister has been lying in ** these days. Originally, my sister should have visited her, but my mother also had a headache, so my sister has not had time to visit my sister. Won't my sister blame her?" Xia Mengxi opened his mouth with gentle eyes.
Xia Mengning sneered in her heart and said that she was unfilial? If it were my previous life, I must have been obedient and dare not speak when I heard such words, but now I am waiting for her to speak.
"My sister's words scared my sister. My sister was accidentally hit in the head by a beam. She was not destined to pray for her mother. She wanted to go to her mother's side to serve her, but she had never been well, but it was a coincidence," Xia Mengning paused and looked at Xie on one side. "Ning'er woke up yesterday and didn't see her mother give Fu's mother, a close mother sent by the maidservant, asked Zhulian. Only then did she know that Ning'er's headache was also aggravated on the day when she was hit by the beam. When Fu's mother saw that there was a pearl lotus around Ning'er, she went to Yilan Garden to serve her mother. In the final analysis, Fu's mother was also a person beside her mother. It was natural to serve her mother. If it was Ning'er on that day If you are awake, you will also let Fu's mother do this.
After saying a few words, Xia Mengning saw that Fang and Xia Mengxi had changed their faces. She couldn't understand what she said. She was a concubine, and there was only a close girl around to serve her mother, but her mother left her to Yilan Garden. Fang was the mistress, and the maid served in the garden didn't care. There is no one missing her. When she said this, she just wanted to tell Xie that when she was sick, there was no one around her.
Xie Shi was really angry, and the teacup in his hand patted heavily on the table. "Fang Shi, what's wrong with Fu's mother?"
Fang Shi only felt that Xia Mengning in front of him seemed to have a slight smile, and she was even more puzzled. After not seeing her for a few days, why did this girl dare to contradict herself instead of not being afraid of seeing her?
Thinking of this, Fang stood up calmly. "If you go back to your mother-in-law, this mother was originally a dowry mother of your daughter-in-law. She used to take care of your daughter-in-law when she was in the general's mansion. This time, she heard that her daughter-in-law had a headache. Maybe she was anxious, so she forgot the etiquette for a while. When she went back today, her daughter-in-law should severely punish herself."
There is indeed something in Fang's words. On the one side, he emphasized that Fu's mother was the old man in front of him, and on the other side, he emphasized the identity of his mother's family. On the other side, regardless of the serious master, Fang said that he had forgotten the etiquette, and the crime was much lighter.
Xia Mengning bent her lips and smiled, but Xie over there was not easy to fool. She said sternly, "Call Fu's mother to come to see me."
Immediately, the little girl hit the curtain and went out. Fang Shi stood aside and looked a little ugly, and Xia Mengxi over there also looked at herself a few more times.
"Grandma, don't be angry. Isn't it just a slave's negligence? She is angry with this matter and doesn't rely on her body." The beauty of her daughter's family really made Xia Mengxi vividly and vividly. Xia Mengning snorted coldly and neglected for a moment?
Thinking about it, she also stood up and lowered her head and said, "What my sister said is that my grandmother is the most blessed person in the house. Don't be angry about these things, Pearl Lotus." With that, he took the bowl of beauty tears handed over by Zhulian and put them on Xie's table. The beauty tears were sent by Xie when she heard that she loved them. In order to be safe, she always let her mother take care of them.
"Grandma, look, this beauty's tears were still given to me by you when I was last year. Ning'er has always been taking good care of by Fu's mother. I wanted to take care of it in person, but she was always clumsy. Grandma, do you think this flower blooms?"
Xie Shi looked at the beauty's tears and couldn't help but be attracted. Just then, a voice came, "Old lady, mother Fu is here."
Xia Mengning raised her head and saw a woman kneeling on the ground in a cyan coat and a blue skirt. "Old lady Wan'an, I don't know why the old lady is looking for the old slave?"
Fu's mother asked left and right when she was approached by the girl, but the girl's mouth was very tight. When she came to the room, she was relieved to see that the eldest lady and the eldest lady were there.
"Mom Fu, I'm going to reward you today." Xie's voice sounded a little majestic.
Fu's mother lay on the ground and didn't even dare to raise her head. She nodded, "The old slave is afraid. It's the old slave's job to serve the master."
Xia Meng stared at the people on the ground and looked at her own golden hairpin on her head. Her ears, neck and hands were all ornaments that were not much worse than herself. She remembered how she trusted her in her previous life, helped her daughter find a good family, helped her son talk about her daughter-in-law, and how much gold and silver she added to her in the open and secretly. But this old trick slave actually betrayed himself cruelly and clenched his fist under his sleeve. Xia Mengning tried his best to control her mood and said, "Mother Fu!" The voice was soft and glutinous, with the unique softness of her little daughter's family. Fu's mother was almost stunned. She looked up and saw Xia Mengning standing in front of Xie, looking at her with a smile. Although her eyes were gentle, they were shocking.
"Three...Three..." Fu's mother stammed out of fear. Isn't this third lady not alive? How can she stand here and look at people with this kind of eyes?
"Mother Fu hasn't seen me for several days, and she can't even scream out?" Xia Mengning covered her veil and smiled, and her low voice was like fairy music.
Xie looked at the people on the ground coldly and said, "Do you know that you are the slave of the third lady?" The old slave knows, the old slave knows..."
"Then why don't you serve in front of the bed? You know that the third lady hurt her head and run out to do other things. Is there too many idle people in this house and everyone has nothing to do?" Xie Shi said sharply, which scared the people in the room very much.
Although Xie's husband, that is, Xia Mengning's grandfather, has passed away, he was the champion appointed by the emperor before his death. Xie also came from a famous family and had a life on his body. Therefore, the people in the Prime Minister's mansion not only respected her from generation, but also feared her psychologically.
When Fu's mother heard the words, she couldn't help sweating coldly and couldn't speak. Xie Shi looked at her appearance and knew the context of the matter. It must be such a vicious slave who bullied the master and just wanted to climb Gaozhi.
"Pear down and hit the thirty boards." The cold voice scared Mother Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, "Old lady, spare my life, old lady, spare my life..."
"Mother-in-law!" Fang stood up, and Xia Mengning sneered. She really couldn't help it!
Xie looked at her coldly. She has never had a good impression on this daughter-in-law, and now she is even more disgusted. If it hadn't been for her support behind her back, would this old slave dare to bully Ninger like this? She didn't have a good face at the moment. "If you want to plead for her, you don't have to. I have managed the backyard all my life, and such an old slave must be severely punished. Otherwise, will the reputation of the Prime Minister's mansion be still needed in the future? Do you want to indulge slaves to bully their masters? Huh?"
Fang's angry words were beaten back by Xie's mercilessly. He was angry but did not dare to say more. He just squintly looked at the door curtain, as if he was looking forward to something.
Xia Mengning observed her eyes and smiled in her heart. Is this waiting for the rescuers to come? This Fang family is used to being domineering. She is a slave and has to fight for her tone. No one used to deal with her, but now it's possible.
While thinking about it, a sound of calm footsteps came, and Xia Mengning smiled slightly. Isn't this rescuer coming?
The curtain was lifted up by the maid, and Xia Chuanyuan, who was wearing a long cyan gown and a slanted horse coat, came in. The maids beside him hurriedly leaned down to salute.
Xia Chuanyuan had a cold face and frowned a little. In the past few days, there are always officials who have violated the prince's etiquette and are not worthy of being the prince of a country. Xia Chuanyuan also knew in his heart that it was someone secretly manipulated, but the emperor asked in front of the palace. He couldn't stop talking and was afraid of being suspected by the emperor that he was facing the prince. So for a while, it was a headache. Now the prince is the direct son, and there is the support of the queen's mother Zheng family. Although everyone knows that the prince's virtue is damaged and his mind is not high, his favorite thing is to tease birds and fish, and he is not willing to deal with state affairs at all. But now, after all, there is someone to support him. If he stands in the wrong team, only I'm afraid that in case the prince ascends the throne, the first one is to eradicate himself.
Just in the morning, I went back to the house to discuss with the staff in the house. Who knew that the lady's maid Qingsi said that there was something urgent and invited him to Rongfu Hall. Fang's family is perverse, but her mother's family has power, so Xia Chuanyuan has always turned a blind eye to what she has done to her. Today, he only saw the old lady's angry face. The people next to her were silent. She couldn't help but be a little surprised. He stepped forward and arched his hand first and said, "My son has seen his mother."
Xie Shi looked at him and said, "Sit down. Why are you free to come? Are you not busy with politics recently? Men should concentrate on the government, and don't always come to the backyard to deal with this woman's affairs.
Xia Chuanyuan smiled awkwardly, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea. "My mother said it very well, and my son wrote it down."
Xia Mengning stood up and said, "My daughter has seen her father."
