When Aunt Osmanthus heard Lihua's name, she rushed forward frantically.

Sure enough, as soon as she got closer, she saw that her family's pear blossoms were soaking in the water in winter, and a group of official ladies on the shore were shaking their wet handkerchiefs.

"I picked it up."

It was freezing cold, and a few pieces of broken ice could be vaguely seen floating on the water.

Lihua struggled forward in the water, trying to climb up to the shore, but her feet were unsteady and she staggered and fell into the water, causing the girls on the shore to hold their handkerchiefs and laugh out loud.

Aunt Osmanthus quickly rushed forward to push away the group of noble girls, and stretched out her hand into the pond: "Lihua, mother will pull you out."

Lihua's lips turned purple from the cold, and she stretched out her hand to Aunt Osmanthus while trembling all over.

Aunt Osmanthus held Lihua's cold hands and felt distressed. She hurriedly dragged Lihua ashore, took off her cotton coat and put it on Lihua.

A cloud of anger burst out from the bottom of Aunt Osmanthus's heart, and she glared angrily at the group of ladies: "Did you let her go into the water in such a cold day, did you want to kill her?"

The noble ladies seemed to know that their actions were inappropriate, and they all waved their hands and said, "We didn't let her go down."

There was only one of them, who seemed to despise how many people dared to do or dare to push and push, she raised her chin and looked at Aunt Osmanthus disdainfully: "I let her go into the water, my veil fell into the water, so let her I went into the water to pick it up. Isn’t it right for her to do these things as a servant? And you, judging by your clothes, you are just an ordinary servant, why dare you accuse Miss Ben.”

Aunt Osmanthus stared angrily at the noble girl who was speaking.

At this moment, she regretted that she didn't listen to the shopkeeper's words, and it was fine to help out by herself, why did she have to take Lihua with her.

She knew that if she told the shopkeeper about this, the shopkeeper would definitely give the mother and daughter two decisions, but today is the full moon banquet for the shopkeeper's two children, and she can't make trouble to make the shopkeeper look bad.

In addition, she urgently needs to take Lihua to change her wet clothes, otherwise she really wants to tear this bitch to pieces.

Aunt Osmanthus picked up Pear Blossom, turned around and left in a hurry, while the lady behind her was still yelling, "Just know you're afraid, otherwise I'll tell Mrs. Gu, and you'll definitely be left alone."

Aunt Osmanthus carried Lihua back to her residence, changed Lihua's wet clothes, and cooked a large bowl of ginger soup for Lihua to drink.

She touched Lihua's forehead to make sure that Lihua had no fever. Lihua held the soup bowl and smiled at her smirkly: "Mother, I'm fine."

Aunt Osmanthus patted her forehead hard: "Are you stupid for jumping down to pick up the handkerchief in such a cold weather? Also, you were not following Ah Nuan, why did you run there alone again? "

Lihua knew that she had offended Auntie, so she apologized obediently: "Ah Nuan said that she was going to visit her little nephew in the conservatory. There were too many people there, so I wanted to breathe alone by the water, but I ran into those group of people. The lady asked me to go into the water to pick up the handkerchief, and I also wanted to do a favor... Aniang, I know I was wrong."

Aunt Osmanthus was extremely helpless.

"Aunt Osmanthus, is Aunt Osmanthus here?"

There was a shout from outside, and Aunt Osmanthus recognized that it was the ginkgo next to Qi Qingxi, and she quickly responded: "Hey, here it is."

Ginkgo walked into the room with a smile, but saw Lihua wrapping herself tightly with a quilt, she was taken aback: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call the doctor?"

Aunt Osmanthus shook her head: "No need, you'll be fine if you sweat a bit after getting cold. Do you need something from me?"

Ginkgo: "Madam came to you and said she wanted to ask..."

Ginkgo glanced at Lihua, "I said I wanted to ask you about delivering snacks in the front yard."

Aunt Osmanthus immediately understood, she stroked Li Hua's hair: "You should rest well in the house, don't run around anymore, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Lihua nodded obediently, and Aunt Osmanthus nodded and went out in peace.

Along the way, Aunt Osmanthus's mind was full of images of her daughter soaking in the water, as well as the haughty appearance of the official lady.

She thought that after she and the shopkeeper made it clear, she would take pear blossoms back to Ansui in a few days. Although Ansui is a small place and not as rich as the capital, at least her pear blossoms will not be affected. Such bullying.

Aunt Osmanthus clenched her fists and secretly made up her mind. She followed Ginkgo in the crowd and walked up to Qi Qingxi.

Before Aunt Osmanthus could open her mouth, Qi Qingxi pouted her chin somewhere in the crowd: "The woman in the green dress is Zhang Lin's current wife, and the little girl standing beside her is Zhang Lin's eldest daughter. It is said that the two have a young son who is five years old this year, but this time they did not bring them out."

Aunt Osmanthus followed Qi Qingxi's line of sight, and saw the beautiful woman in green clothes standing under the tree outside the door, and the little girl who was hugging the woman's arm and acting like a spoiled child.

When she saw the girl's face clearly, Aunt Osmanthus's pupils constricted suddenly, and a chill came from the bottom of her heart.

This girl is clearly the one who bullied her Lihua just now and put on airs in front of her, but it turned out to be Zhang Lin's daughter.

At this time, Zhang Taotao, who was standing under the tree and talking to her mother with a smile, seemed to notice the gaze looking at her, and looked sideways.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she saw Aunt Osmanthus, she trot angrily in front of Qi Qingxi, and she pointed at Aunt Osmanthus: "Madam Gu, this is your servant, right? I'm afraid you don't know how arrogant your servant is, I just dropped the handkerchief into the water and asked her daughter to go down and pick it up, yet she still dared to accuse me of murdering her daughter. However, a little servant girl dared to go beyond the rules, Mrs. Gu, you have to punish her fan."

After all, she raised her chin slightly and looked at Aunt Osmanthus with a provocative look.

Qi Qingxi's expression instantly became displeased when he heard the words: "You mean you asked others to jump into the water to pick up the veil for you in such a cold day?"

Zhang Taotao's attitude towards Qi Qingxi was unexpected, and the arrogance just now was instantly extinguished, he hesitated and said: "I...she...she's just a servant..."

Qi Qingxi looked at the person in front of him and sneered: "Not to mention that the maid you are talking about is a guest of my house, even if it is a servant girl in my house, you can let them jump into the water to pick up handkerchiefs for you without any scruples." son?"

Zhang Lin's current wife, Zhang Taotao's mother, Mrs. Liu, did not expect her daughter's actions, so she failed to hold Zhang Taotao immediately.

"The little girl can't speak, Madam has a lot of people, please spare her for a while. Is the girl who helped pick up the handkerchief in good health? Of course, even if she is not ill, our Zhang family has a shame. Madam, give us a chance to make up for it."

She looked at Aunt Osmanthus with a gentle smile, and patted Zhang Taotao's back by the way.

Her master finally had the opportunity to attend the full moon banquet held by the two young masters and ladies of Gu's mansion, and get to know the superiors of various government offices. He must not be messed up by his daughter because of such a small matter as small as a sesame mung bean.
