Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 69 The Storm in the Nie Mansion ([-])

Huo Qi shook his head and sighed: "The testimonies are inconsistent, and I'm afraid it's hard to be convincing. Speaking of which, this maid is really strange. Without the master's order, she rashly ran to the mistress to slander the innocence of the official lady. Could it be some kind of bastard?" The spies who entered the mansion intend to provoke the relationship between the Huo family and the Nie family? In my opinion, it is better to send this maid to the Tingwei Mansion for a trial, so that people can feel at ease."

Seeing that Huo Qi had charged her with a huge crime, the little servant girl was so frightened that she slapped herself on the face immediately: "Miss, please forgive me! This servant is not a spy! This servant made a mistake. , It’s the servant who is gossiping! I beg the girl to spare the life of the servant!”

Huo Qi hooked the corner of his mouth, turned to Liu Fang, and said sharply: "Mr. Liu said that I spent time with you, do you have evidence in hand? If I can produce evidence, I am willing to twist my hair and go to the temple to be a nun! But if No, my Ningguo Mansion has always been an upright person, and today I have tarnished my reputation, so I will go back to the mansion to report to my father, and ask him to go before His Majesty to avenge my grievances!"

Where can Liu Fang produce any evidence?
Seeing that Huo Qi moved out of Emperor Xiaowen, he bowed and bowed, with his head slightly lowered, covering his eyes to hide the murderous intent, and the previous arrogance was completely gone in his words: "I admire the girl's demeanor, and I drank a few more glasses of water and wine today. , Then I said some drunken words. Your Majesty has a lot of time to deal with, so why bother Your Majesty with these trivial matters? My father and Ning Guogong are officials in the same dynasty, and they are also colleagues. I hope the girl will forgive me for being abrupt today."

Seeing that Huo Qi was able to deceive Liu Fang and the maid with ease, Liu couldn't help feeling dizzy.

How could Huo Qi win over Aunt Zhang, a timid bitch, to testify for her?Why did Nie Ying suddenly run into the garden today and get stung by a bee?
She still didn't understand why.

However, she was sure that all of this had something to do with Huo Qi's hoof.I'm afraid that Huo Qi has already seen through the schemes in the bedroom, playing tricks on everyone on the field!

Mrs. Liu hated a lot in her heart, and she still pretended to be a peacemaker, and her words became more intimate: "Qi Niang, I think it was a misunderstanding. There is no big event in the house today, after all, you You have always been open-minded, so don't worry about it if you can sell your aunt to save face?"

Huo Qi stared at Mrs. Liu with a half-smile: "Of course I don't care about it. What's even more coincidental is that on the way to the garden just now, my maid accidentally picked up the second lady's coat in the grass and had to return it." yes."

Nie Ying's chest jumped. Isn't that the clothes that were taken away by the dog?How could it fall into Huo Qi's hands?
Huo Qi waved his hand, and Liefeng behind him immediately handed the scarlet coat in his arms to Lan Zhi.This piece of clothing was already silky and smooth. When I handed it over, an object suddenly slipped out of the wide sleeves and hit the ground with a crisp sound.

"Second Miss, what's falling out of the sleeve of this dress?" Mrs. Liu, who was watching the play, asked curiously.

"I didn't notice it when I just picked up the clothes. It should be Second Miss's jade pendant." Huo Qi stepped forward and bent down to pick it up, then stuffed it into Nie Ying's hands. "Second Miss, this thing looks precious, so it needs to be kept properly." .”

Fang glanced at it, and exclaimed loudly: "Isn't this Brother Fang's jade pendant?" She seemed to realize that she was talking too fast, and she glanced at Liu's ugly face, and immediately fell silent again.

Liu Fang quickly glanced at the belt around his waist, only to realize that his personal jade pendant had disappeared, and then gave Huo Qi a dark look.

It must have been Huo Qi's good deed, just taking advantage of his inattention to walk away with the jade pendant!
But the person he was looking at glanced at him without any guilt, and said in a leisurely manner: "It's Mr. Liu's personal jade pendant? Is it possible that Mr. Liu is not only joking with the little girl, but also with the second lady?"

Before Nie Ying could react, a cold whole thing was stuffed into her hand, but she only felt it was hot, and subconsciously wanted to throw it, but she still held back: "My sister misunderstood, this jade pendant is also the one I didn't want today. I picked it up carefully, but I didn't know it belonged to my cousin."

She handed the jade pendant in her hand to Liu Fang: "Cousin is too careless. It's fine for me to pick up such an important thing. If it's picked up by a traitor to make a fuss about, it will be a bad thing."

Huo Qi raised her eyebrows, Nie Ying is not too stupid, she smiled meaningfully: "Oh, that's the case, it's good to clear up the misunderstanding."

Huo Qi smiled, taking in the reactions of everyone present.

Most people's judgments are always connected by some plausible clues.Personal jade pendants are tokens exchanged between husband and wife or lovers in Daqi. Liu Fang's personal jade pendants were found in Nie Ying's clothes. Although it cannot directly prove that the two are selfish, these wives have just witnessed the two flirting in the garden , will inevitably think a little more.

The good reputation of the Nie family will eventually be gradually disintegrated amid suspicion.

Seeing Huo Qi's yin and yang appearance, Mrs. Liu secretly hated Huo Qi's eyes like lotus pods, and at the same time was annoyed that she underestimated the enemy today, so she could only force a smile: "What happened today is all a misunderstanding. Cui Zhu, take this The maids who chewed their tongues were bundled into the firewood room, and they will be dealt with later."

Cuizhu immediately took two steps forward, took a few maids with her, and in the blink of an eye, she took the little maid who was kneeling and crying to the firewood room.

In a short while, Liu's expression changed again: "Everyone go back to the flower hall, it's time for dinner."

All the ladies nodded with smiles, and a group of people went back to the flower hall.

Although today's incident was dismissed as a "misunderstanding", in the eyes of everyone, the truth of this drama is already coming out.I'm afraid that the pair of cousins, Nie Ying and Liu Fang, had a relationship, but they were stabbed out by the blind maid. The two of them put this shit bowl on Huo Qi's head in order to cover up their adultery.

They were used to scheming, and seeing Liu's defense of Nie Ying, they naturally wouldn't talk too much. It's just that the Nie family's actions still fell short in their hearts, and their dislike for Liu Fang increased. .

Perhaps Nie Ying felt ashamed, and helped Lan Zhi back to her yard in a hurry, but she didn't want to stay any longer, not even going to the flower hall.

Liu Fang glared at Huo Qi viciously, that stare always made people feel cold all over, just when Le Feng wanted to stand in front of Huo Qi, Liu Fang was dragged by Fang to leave first.

Aunt Zhang was cast a cold glance by Mrs. Liu just now, and she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she went back to her yard without making a sound.

Huo Qi and Liu were the last ones left.

Mrs. Liu sighed, and took Lahuoqi's hand: "You have been wronged about today's matter. My nephew is too incompetent. I will definitely let someone teach him a good lesson. You should eat more later, otherwise I will This aunt must feel sorry for her."

Huo Qi glanced at Mr. Liu lightly, calmly withdrew his hand, and responded in a low voice: "Mrs. Nie is generous."

Mrs. Liu has such an ability to talk like a snake, even if she does bad things behind the scenes, on the surface, you still can't see her calculations.If she hadn't known that nutmeg today, with Liu's acting skills, I'm afraid she would still be ignorant and kept in the dark by her.

Aunt Zhang slept with the tiger, thinking that the mistress Liu was really willing to give her some face.But she would not be so stupid as to believe that Mrs. Liu, this woman is hard to deal with because she is extremely capable of pretending and being patient.

However, she didn't place her hopes on a one-shot hit, and what she did today was nothing more than creating a blockage for the Nie family.Let the Liu family suffer a dark loss. After all, it is only pruning and pruning the branches of the Nie family. If they want to dig out the roots of the Nie family, they have to deal with Nie Qin in the end.

Everything must be done slowly, not hastily.
