boudoir

Chapter 89
After this round of confession, Liuli and the old lady seem to have reached a consensus in getting along. At least the old lady stopped speaking sarcasticly to her, and then handed over all the medicines that should be taken every day to her. Shows his trust in her.

However, Liuli still keeps a low profile in front of people. No matter where she stands, it is always right to keep a low profile most of the time.

However, no matter what, the old lady hit Yanhua several times for Liuli in front of everyone that day, and everyone inevitably had a lot of thoughts in their hearts. Although they didn't know the inside story, they always felt that the nine girls were not what they used to be. Then you can bully as you like, some started to smile when they met each other, and some were still waiting and watching, but they never made things difficult.

As for those around the old lady, Biyun always smiles when they meet each other, Qingshang is less talkative, and still takes care of the old lady's clothes, every morning when she prepares her clothes, she will be there to help a helping hand.There are also two first-class maids, Zhu Cui and Ziying, one is in charge of the old lady's going out, the other is also in charge of part of the old man's affairs, but they are not often in the house.As for the eight second- and third-class maids, including Hongmei and Lvhe, they are only responsible for serving tea and water in and out of the courtyard.

There were no fewer than twenty maids in and out of the main courtyard, and it was not easy to stand out among this group of people. Maybe it was because Cuiying was in the current position of Hongmei and Lvhe that she felt suffocated. Qu, that's why he voted for the Qi family as the master son.

The old lady asked someone to set up a bed in the back room of the bedroom for Liuli to sleep on.When Biyun saw it, he laughed: "Could it be that the old lady is being served by Nine Girls, and she is reluctant to leave? If it is a good relationship, is it true that slaves and Qingshang Zhu Cui have become a show? Outsiders know it, they have to laugh We are just taking money for nothing!"

The old lady said with a smile: "Girls, you are the only one with a strong mouth. If you always cause trouble for me, I will also catch you and live in this small inner room!"

Biyun laughed and said, "Miss Nine never caused any trouble."

Liuli also looked at Biyun with a smile.

When Huanhua heard that Liuli was going to live in the main courtyard, he was very happy, so he came to Anxi hall that night.Even now, the Qi family no longer prevented her from interacting with Liuli, and even called Dongmei, a maid beside her, to accompany her.Liuli stopped Huanhua's hand in the room and said, "Third Madam now values ​​you even more." Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Huanhua's face changed immediately, and his eyes were red and he said: "You agreed, but I don't know what she is doing now, so people will watch me, for fear that I will do something."

When Liuli asked in amazement, she realized that the Qi family had already connected with the Yang family and wanted to settle the matter of Huanhua's betrothal marriage with the young master of the Song family.When Huanhua heard them talking about this that day, he couldn't help but lose his temper, and even clamored to become a sister-in-law with scissors, which scared Aunt Liu to death.Later, when the news got to Mrs. Qi's ears, she called her to scold her, and sent people around her to follow her wherever she went.

Huanhua burst into tears and said, "I feel that this mansion is becoming more and more boring..."

Liuli was speechless, so she had no choice but to comfort her silently by stroking her shoulder.

How many concubines in the world would find it interesting to stay under the aunt's hands?

However, it is consoling that when they were kneeling together and sighing, Yanhua had not had an easy few days.Because of a heart attack in the plum grove, and being frightened by the laurel crabapple under the porch that day, she was in a commotion for a few days before she finally calmed down a little. Unexpectedly, the fourth master, He Xiuyuan, saw her recover. , so she couldn't help but say that she was forced to go to Wutong Courtyard to ask Mr. Guo to punish her, but Guo Xia even let her kneel in front of the master's statue for a whole day. All the homework learned is memorized.

Nie was quite dissatisfied with this.

"She is a court lady who retired when she got old. Now she sounds good as a female teacher, but in a bad way she is a hired gentleman. What is so majestic? Even if Yan'er makes mistakes, a small punishment is fine. Yes, last time she was punished to kneel for three full days, but this time, she was punished to kneel for seven days! Is there such a torturer? I think she has intentions at all!"

Sitting in Yu's Flower Hall, Mrs. Nie made no secret of her dissatisfaction with Guo Xia.

Yu frowned and said, "As the old saying goes, 'teachers are lax, teachers are lazy', what's wrong with her? That girl in your family should really take care of her. She's either making trouble with this one or that one, and this time it's her Beating people in front of outsiders, it's no wonder the old lady would beat her! Her temperament has not changed, and no one provoked her in her natal family. When she gets married in the future, is it possible that someone will protect and pamper her? If it was me that day , the crutch is also on the upper body!"

Nie choked, and said: "Sister-in-law, please don't help outsiders bully us. Why did the old lady beat Yan girl? Was it because she was fascinated by that little bitch, and now she has forgotten who her granddaughter is, and instead helped Outsiders are playing Yan'er!" While squeezing the palms of his hands fiercely, he said ruthlessly: "Sure enough, the son of a mouse can make holes, but he learned how to be her son of a fox, and she will definitely confuse people!"

Yu's face darkened: "Who do you say is the son of the mouse? She is the flesh and blood of the old man. How dare you say she is the 'son of the mouse'?! Don't say that I help outsiders. How dare you say that? The old man and the old lady said, let's see if they slap your mouth?!"

Knowing that this was a mistake, Mrs. Nie couldn't help but lose some momentum, and then turned the topic on Guo Xia: "I was also confused by this female teacher. They are all mothers. Sister-in-law, you said that if Yu'er Are you angry at being punished like this?"

Yu glanced at her: "Yu'er is not as unruly as she is, she can't stand punishment!"

Mrs. Nie felt ashamed to sit down after being ostracized by this, so she had to find an excuse to leave.

Going back to the room angrily, the more I thought about it, the more bored I was. They are all the daughters-in-law of the He family, and they are all born on the same day. This Mrs. Yu is just relying on her natal family's face, but she often reprimands her severely. It seemed that she was a few ranks lower than her for no reason, even Yan'er was buried in it, and it felt uncomfortable like a knot in her heart.Called Qi Luo in: "Pour tea!"

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Qi Luo didn't dare to offend her, she poured tea and stood aside with her hands down.Mrs. Nie took it and took a few sips, and suddenly heard some movement from the next door, and said, "Who is next door?" Qi Luo pursed her lips and said, "Master is back. Min Cui is waiting to change clothes." Standing up quickly: "Changing clothes can make such a big noise?!"

Immediately, he lifted the curtain and came out, and when he got to the next door, he didn't let the notification, so he opened the door and went in.

Seeing this, Nie's lungs were about to explode.He Xiuyuan was half lying on the bed with his middle coat on his upper body, and his clothes were disheveled, the two of them were nestling together and making fun of each other.Seeing Mrs. Nie come in, He Xiuyuan immediately pulled Min Cui to sit up.

Nie was trembling with anger: "It's broad daylight, what are you doing, Master?!"

He Xiuyuan frowned, straightened his collar and said, "Didn't you go to the long house? When did you come back?"

Seeing that Mincui is not feeling well, she also quietly got out of bed and planned to sneak out.Nie was so angry that his eyes were bleeding, he grabbed her by both arms, pinned her on the table, and slapped her ears: "Shameless coquettish fox! Seduce men in broad daylight, you still want to be shameless?!" Cui fell to the ground in pain, and she kicked her waist again.Min Cui didn't dare to fight back, she screamed all the way and crawled behind He Xiuyuan to hide.

Qi Luo stepped forward to persuade: "Madam hurt her hand carefully!"

Nie Shi was not willing to listen, she pushed He Xiuyuan away like crazy, grabbed Micui's hair and slammed it on the ground.He Xiuyuan also became angry, grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away: "You are an unreasonable crazy woman! Didn't Min Cui have been slapped by you and become my concubine? You See how you look like a mistress?! I should report to my parents to divorce you!"

As he spoke, he grabbed his coat and stormed out the door.

Nie was afraid that he would really sue the old lady for divorcing his wife, so she quickly got up and chased her out. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Qi Luo pulled her back: "Madam, calm down! Even if you want to chase, you have to change your clothes!" Nie looked down, only to realize that the clothes on her body were crumpled and her hair was messed up, no wonder He Xiuyuan called her a crazy woman.

Immediately angry and anxious, "Tie up that goblin Mincui to me. If the master divorces me, I will let her be buried with me!"

He Xiuyuan went all the way to the main courtyard, looked at the gate of Anxi Hall, and felt apprehensive again.There has never been a precedent for He Fu to divorce his wife, what's more, it was his fault to have sex with Min Cui during the daytime, the old lady will definitely ask about this trouble, and then he will inevitably be overwhelmed and walk around.But he said something in front of Mrs. Nie again, and it's hard to go back here, besides, he's really had enough of her jealousy, if he doesn't give her a little more power, let's see if she doesn't go the wrong way in the future?
For a while, he wandered in the hallway.

Liuli saw someone outside from the curtain, so she lifted the curtain and came out, suddenly seeing him wandering around the door, she asked curiously: "Fourth Master, why are you here?"

He Xiuyuan raised his head, hesitantly said: "It's Liuli."

Liu Li looked him up and down, and said, "Is the Fourth Master here to look for the old lady? Then I'll let you know." As she said that, she wanted to lift the curtain and go in.He Xiuyuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Don't go, me, I haven't figured out what to say yet." Liuli smiled and said, "What is the reason of the fourth master? I have never seen you in such a difficult situation in the past."

He Xiuyuan looked helpless, thinking that she was serving in front of the old lady now, and last time she was protected by the old lady and beat Yan Hua with two sticks, and she was already embarrassed, asking her to tell the old lady, it would definitely be worse Say it yourself.But she is still a girl who has not left the cabinet, and she is her elder, so how can she talk about her relationship with Min Cui?Inevitably froze there again.

Liuli doesn't have a good relationship with Sifangli, but for him personally sending Yanhua to Guo Xia to be punished, it has drawn a boundary between him and Nie's.Seeing that he didn't speak, he said: "Standing like this is not an option, why don't you just sit in the next room and I'll make you a bowl of tea. Come see the old lady after you've made up your mind."

He Xiuyuan had no choice but to nod.
