Chapter 90 The real daughter, she quit (36)

After Qingqiu outside the main house heard Wu Xiuyuan's voice, he quickly responded and waved to the maid and mother-in-law at the gate to invite the second young lady.

At that time, Wu Jinrou was lying on the couch in her yard with a little restlessness, letting the big maid beside her help to apply medicinal wine to the injured ankle, frowning slightly because of the stinging pain from time to time, and clenched her hands tightly. lower lip.

Suddenly, there was a message from Mrs. Sasao outside the door: "Second Miss? Someone came from Madam's yard and said they want to invite you over for dinner."

dinner?

Through the half-open window, Wu Jinrou confirmed the sky outside, and it was indeed approaching the time when the sun was about to set.

But Mrs. Zhao should know that she was seriously injured, and the other party has always loved her, so logically speaking, she wouldn't have the heart to let her make this trip for no reason.

At this time, the old lady Sasao said again: "Second Miss, Madam really cares about you. Knowing that you have a little inconvenience, she even sent two servants to carry a small sedan chair!"

In this way, Wu Jinrou reluctantly let go of her guard, and let the servant girl arrange her hair bun and dress again, and then she walked out of the house gracefully with the help of her servants.

Walking cautiously all the way to the outside of the courtyard, one second before she got on the soft sedan chair, she turned her head as if she had sensed something, and asked the maidservant of Qingsong Courtyard standing beside her: "Father has returned home?" Is it the Hanlin Academy?"

The servant girl shook her head: "Going back to the second lady, the master has not left the mansion today, and even the eldest lady is here. It is probably because the wife is not in a good mood because of the big house, so she wants to have a lively meal with the family. Let's have fun!"

Wu Jinrou's heart trembled, Wu Haiyao was not uncommon, but as long as the old lady was at home, in order to show filial piety, Wu Xiuyuan would go to Fuyuan for dinner most of the time when he returned home.

After all, she still couldn't let go of the hanging heart, and she winked at the big maid beside her: "Go and get someone else to take care of you. Later, you have to leave the mansion and go to Zhang Heji in the city, and take me for a few days." Bring back the gold hairpin that I ordered over there earlier."

The big maid bowed her head and quickly responded, turned around and hurried back to the yard, and soon another little maid came out.

Trying to maintain her superficial composure, Wu Jinrou finally sat down on the soft sedan chair, and then staggered towards the direction of Qingsongyuan amidst the grunting and grunting panting of the two young servants.

When she arrived at Qingsong Courtyard, she saw Qingqiu who was guarding outside the main house and couldn't help but her eyelids twitched: "Sister Qingqiu, why are you guarding here?"

Logically speaking, if there are no special circumstances, the other party should be taken care of in the house.

Qingqiu opened the curtain for her with a smile, without explaining, just raised her voice to report to the room: "Master, madam, the second young lady is here!"

wrong!Wu Jinrou subconsciously stopped in her tracks, and her right hand, which had been supported by the little maid, also grabbed the other's hand fiercely at this moment.She fixedly stared at the door with the curtain opened, because of the light, the room was gloomy, but in her eyes, it looked more like a bush of thorns leading to an unknown road ahead.

The little maid on the side was flushed red from her clutched hands, but she didn't dare to make a sound at all, she could only lower her head and suppress the redness of her eyes.

Qingqiu had a panoramic view of this scene, as the big maid who the mistress of the house relied on, she naturally saw some things more clearly than anyone else.However, the self-awareness of a qualified servant kept her smiling, and her voice seemed to be reminding or urging: "Second Miss?"

Wu Jinrou came back to her senses and started to walk in.

However, she was stopped by Qingqiu again, to be precise, it was the little maid beside her who was stopped.

"Master said, today is a family banquet, the whole family gathers together to have a good talk, and the servants don't need to serve personally." Qingqiu said, slowly but firmly peeling the maid from her side, and then said to her again. Watching her bless her body, she stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation.

The complexion changed slightly, Wu Jinrou forced a smile, turned her face slightly, and looked around the yard in a daze.

Since when did there be so many servants in Qingsongyuan?It seems that those strong and strong sweeping ladies are in charge of washing in the backyard, right?How come the gatekeepers have turned into a few skilled boys in the front yard?

Swallowing unconsciously, Wu Jinrou slowly looked away, and finally limped into the door of the main house.

The first sight is a very precious Qingzhou double-sided embroidered solid wood screen. On the table behind the screen is a simple and unique incense burner, and green smoke rises from it.Even though it was an all-too-familiar scene, it made it difficult for her to breathe for no reason.

Bypassing the screen and passing through the outer room, he could finally see clearly the three blurred figures sitting behind the gauze curtain.

Biting the tip of her tongue hard, Wu Jinrou raised her bright smile in the past, and opened her mouth to ask Ann: "Father and mother are well, and the eldest sister is here? When my mother called me over for dinner, I didn't even have any clothes." I went out when I had time to replace it, and for some reason, I always felt that the food in the yard of my parents was extraordinarily sweet!"

"Father, mother, what's the matter with you?"

After she saw Wu Xiuyuan who was sitting at the table without raising his head, and Zhao Shi whose eyes were faintly disappointed, even though her heart had fallen to the bottom, she still had to show her flawless expression on the surface.

But what she didn't know was that Wu Xiuyuan and Mrs. Zhao were all in the eyes of that tight smile, pretending relaxed posture and hoarse voice.

After all, he is still young, and his emotional control is too immature, especially in the eyes of Wu Xiuyuan, an old fox who has been up and down in the officialdom all year round, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of loopholes.

And for so many years before, the reason why their husband and wife failed to notice any abnormalities was also very simple.When Wu Jinrou is not threatened by Haiyao, the real daughter of the Wu family, as long as she can enjoy the protection of the two and enjoy the bonus brought to her by the name of the daughter of the Wu family, it will be fine. What kind of intrigue is playing.

As a result, one day, this stability was broken by the appearance of the original owner, and within one night, she suddenly became a counterfeit.

Xu Shi was driven by various dark emotions such as unwillingness, fear, and jealousy in her heart. She took the first step, the second step, and the third step tremblingly... one step after another, until there was no possibility of turning back.

"Rou'er, how could you do such a thing? It's such a disappointment to my mother!" Mrs. Zhao covered her chest with her hands, but couldn't hold back after all, and started to question her.

On the other side, Wu Xiuyuan followed closely and said in a deep voice: "Why do you want to join forces with outsiders to harm your own sister?!"

boom!
Hearing the two people's firm and direct questioning, Wu Jinrou felt as if a thunder was exploding in her ears, which shocked her until her head buzzed.

After she realized it, she shook her head repeatedly and denied it: "Father, mother, what are you talking about? Are you joking with Rou'er?"

Seeing that Wu Xiuyuan and Zhao's expressions were still serious, Wu Jinrou could only use his trump card, her big eyes were full of hot tears, which was very pitiful: "Father and mother have been kind to me for so many years, Rouer I have never been a person who is ungrateful, and I am really happy for everyone that my eldest sister is able to return home, so how could I harm her?"

According to past experience, every time she did something wrong, as long as she put on this expression, Zhao's heart would soften into a mess.It's a pity that she seems to have forgotten what it means to be different from the past.

The two couples in front of them both looked indifferent, and looked at her with suspicious eyes. This scene directly made Wu Jinrou's heart fall into an ice cellar, and the fear emanating from the inside out made her teeth grit. They all shuddered.

Seeing this, Haiyao, who was already sitting on the stool next to her, simply added to the fire: "Sister Jinrou means that what happened at Cao Shilang's mansion back then, as well as Shanyuan Temple last night...you are the same. I don't know?"

"Of course I don't know. The third son Sima has a well-known nickname in Beijing. I have always followed the teachings of my father and mother. How can I have anything to do with this kind of person?!" Wu Jinrou retorted very quickly.

But before she finished speaking, she saw the smile on the face of the opposite person.

"I haven't said anything yet, how can my sister blurt out that she is the third son of Sima?" Haiyao raised her eyebrows, her tone full of amusement.

Wu Jinrou was startled, but she retorted stubbornly on her face: "Eldest sister doesn't have to argue with me here, such a big thing happened at Cao Shilang's house, and what happened last night with cousin Zhen and the third son?" Awesome, anyone can only think of this place!"

However, Haiyao did not continue to entangle in this topic, and instead brought up another important point: "Sister Jinrou, why don't you explain why the lilac next to me suddenly disappeared when I was in the servant's mansion? But I appeared at the banquet and wished to announce the news of my disappearance to the world."

"Why did we see Ding Xiang again by such a coincidence when so many of us arrived outside the male pilgrim's guest room last night. If I remember correctly, Ding Xiang is the girl my sister raised by her side since she was a child, right?"

"You're bloody!" Wu Jinrou took a small step back in a panic, and after trying her best to gather her mind, she turned her head and knelt down in the direction of Wu Xiuyuan: "Please tell my parents, Ding Xiang was indeed She is one of the most capable maids around my daughter, so I sent her to the Liuliyuan when my eldest sister returned home. But I can't just turn around because I was eager to make friends with my eldest sister and gave up my love to my maid. Turn your head and slander me with ulterior motives?!"

"Furthermore, according to what Big Sister means, can the daughter say that Ding Xiang is now a maidservant of Liuliyuan, so what's so strange about the servants listening to the master?" At the end, the girl retorted.

The stalemate between the two of you coming and going, obviously made Wu Xiuyuan and Zhao Shi feel extremely headache.

Facing the other party's accusations, Haiyao not only did not become angry from embarrassment, but was quite interested: "Since that's the case, why don't you call Ding Xiang over and have a good trial."

This proposal hit Wu Jinrou's heart, so he agreed on the spot: "I'm afraid that big sister won't dare."

This kind of confidence is probably due to preparation in advance.

It's a pity... Haiyao's eyes flickered, she got up immediately, walked to the door and politely told Qingqiu a few words.

When she turned around and came back to sit on the stool again, the surrounding area fell into an unprecedented silence, and even the air seemed to freeze.
