Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 67 The Troubles in the Nie Mansion ([-])

Liu Fang had his back to the garden door and had not noticed the people coming over.He stepped forward and grabbed Nie Ying's arm, and smiled frivolously: "It's not beautiful when a beauty is angry. Why don't you stay calm and enjoy the scenery of this garden with me?"

To be honest, Nie Ying was very pretty, and Mrs. Liu protected Nie Ying very well on weekdays. He didn't have much chance to get close to this beautiful and thorny cousin.

When he saw Nie Ying's angry look today, she looked much cuter than her usual pretentious and reserved look.Both of them were wearing Chinese clothes, the atmosphere was ambiguous and charming, and there was no one around, so they started to feel a little intimidating and thought about teasing Nie Ying.

After all, compared to Huo Qi, Nie Ying's piece of meat that can be eaten immediately is more delicious.

When Nie Ying saw the person walking by, she subconsciously took two steps back without even caring about reprimanding Liu Fang.Just now Liu Fang verbally teased her repeatedly, and she was still able to handle it, but now that this matter was exposed, her skills were still shallow, except for breaking away from Liu Fang's hand, she suddenly lost her mind.

Mrs. Fang saw Liu Fang's disheveled clothes, as if he were visiting a flower house in broad daylight, and hurriedly walked forward: "What are you talking about!"

Liu Fang wanted to touch Nie Ying again, but when he heard Fang's exclamation, he noticed a group of women in the flower hall.However, he was thick-skinned, he just smiled, touched his nose, did not show any more embarrassment, and wrapped the outer robe he had just picked up around his body.

Fang Shi ran in front, and Liu Shi walked behind with a group of wives, and at this moment he also quickened his pace.

Liu Fang and Nie Ying were disheveled and obviously flirting. This completely unruly behavior made everyone at the scene silent.The ladies were afraid that they would say the wrong thing and make the entire Nie family look bad, but this did not mean that they did not have any thoughts in their hearts.

In the eyes of these noble ladies who have been immersed in the back house all year round and are extremely particular about manners and decency, the behavior of the two of them can be said to be out of the ordinary.

That's all for Liu Fang. He has long been infamous and died.

But Nie Ying was different.

She has always given people the impression that she is a noble girl who knows how to advance and retreat, and knows the rules, but now she is wearing a middle coat and lingering with Liu Fang in the garden, which is quite different from her previous performance.

In their straight thinking, a woman's beauty is certainly important, but if her virtue is detrimental, it is not advisable.

Nie Ying was already scared out of her mind. She looked at Mrs. Liu in front of her and murmured: "Mother..."

Mrs. Liu shouted in a low voice: "Today's birthday party, you didn't stay in the flower hall, why did you come to the garden to join in the fun! And you are dressed like this, is this how my mother teaches you to behave?"

Mrs. Liu avoided the serious and neglected the trivial, blurring a scandal about a man and a woman flirting into "joining in the fun", and causing intriguing smiles on the faces of the wives watching the fun.

Nie Ying has been held in the palm of Liu's hands since she was a child and grew up. Has she ever seen Liu's stern words?Immediately there was resentment in my heart, and I couldn't hold back my words: "Mom! I'm here..."

Before Nie Ying could finish her words, Mrs. Liu raised her hand and slapped Nie Ying, knocking back the resentment on Nie Ying's lips: "No rules! The ladies present today are all guests of the Nie family, you But he did such a scandal! I must apologize to you ladies!"

In the final analysis, Liu's preemptive attack was to preserve Nie Ying's reputation.Today, Nie Ying's embarrassment is a foregone conclusion, the most urgent thing is not to let the wives doubt the Nie family's tutor.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Although Nie Ying's matter is absurd, her innocence is still there, and it will be exposed after a long time.But if Nie Ying said something that shouldn't be said without restraint, it would be difficult to end.

The maid who picked up the clothes had already returned, and immediately put on the coat for Nie Ying.Perhaps it was because Nie Ying put on the outer clothes, and her reason returned to her body.

She saw Mrs. Liu's warning eyes and gave a blessing to the ladies behind her: "My little girl was a little bored after staying at the banquet for a long time. She came to the garden to get some fresh air, but she ran into her cousin dressed like this and swatting bees. I thought. I stepped forward to help, but I didn't want to be entangled by bees myself. In order to save my life, I took off my coat. I hope you ladies can forgive me for my shortcomings."

When it came to the emotional part, two tears were squeezed out, the charming appearance made people's hearts soften three points at the first sight.

After hearing the high-sounding rhetoric made by Nie Ying, Liu Fang just sneered but did not refute.

There are actually one or two truths in Nie Ying's words. At least she and Liu Fang really have nothing to do with each other.But in the ears of those ladies, it was just words to save face.

However, someone among them still stood up to smooth things over: "The second young lady is also very polite today, but she didn't think things through enough, so she lost her etiquette. After all, it was excusable. Mrs. Nie was too harsh on the second young lady."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu's tone softened, and she resorted to another tactic: "So Brother Fang came to the garden before Yinger."

She looked at the maid who had replied before: "Where is Miss Huo? Why is she missing?"

Ms. Liu was now anxious and had completely forgotten her original intention of plotting against Huo Qi.Now she only thinks that if the secret meeting between Huo Qi and Liu Fang can be confirmed, Nie Ying will naturally be cleared of suspicion.

The little maid swayed her legs and said in a trembling voice: "Sister Lan Zhi ordered the servant to report. As for where Miss Huo is, I don't know..."

Knowing that she had messed up her errand, Lan Zhi had already turned pale with fright. She secretly glanced at Nie Ying, but Nie Ying shook her head imperceptibly.

She understood in her mind, and knelt down with a plop: "My servant has been following the young lady, and no one has reported anything! Please be aware of this, madam!"

"Yes, Lan Zhi has been following me. Where did the news come from?" Nie Ying asked with confusion on her face.

Too many things happened today, and Huo Qi was not in the garden at the moment. If her personal maid Lan Zhi came out now and said that Huo Qi and Liu Fang were having an affair, it would inevitably be speculated that she bit Huo Qi to exonerate herself.It's better to push this low-level maid out. No matter whether the matter between Huo Qi and Liu Fang can be confirmed by the Liu family, she can't be blamed.

Mrs. Liu looked at the little maid who was kneeling, and smiled, "I'll ask again, did Lan Zhi really call you to report?"

The little maid looked up at Mrs. Liu. The expression on her face could be said to be completely gentle, making it easy for people to let down their guard.But she knew Liu's skills. Behind the gentleness on the surface was ruthless cruelty.

Now that she has been pushed out as the scapegoat, if she bites Lan Zhi, it will be like slapping Nie Ying in the face. Mrs. Liu will not let her and her family go.

The little maid was so horrified that she knelt on the ground, trembling and crying: "It was my servant who passed by the garden and saw Miss Huo and his young master together. She was afraid... she was afraid of causing some trouble, so she hurriedly came to inform Madam..."

Mrs. Liu's gaze moved to Liu Fang, but her eyes were somewhat suggestive: "Brother Fang, were you with Miss Huo just now? If this maid told nonsense, I would definitely give her a break, so as not to ruin you and Huo. The lady of the family has a good reputation."

Liu Fang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "She's right."
