Shuzi's Turnover [Rebirth]

Chapter 8. Take the initiative

The Bihe Garden in the afternoon was very quiet. Luo Yunchu and Liansheng were standing under a tree. He glanced at the servant in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Liansheng, has anything happened recently?"

After hearing this, Lian Sheng thought for a while, and then replied in a deep voice: "Second Madam's maid, Qiu Ning, got a new item and showed it off everywhere, very happy."

Luo Yun raised his eyebrows at the first hearing, "Oh? What?"

"It's a string of Buddha beads." Lian Sheng replied in a deep voice, as if he felt that he hadn't finished speaking, and after thinking about it, he added: "I remember that it was a gift from the old lady."

When he said this, Luo Yunchu remembered that the old lady Ye went to the temple to pray for blessings a few days ago, and it took a lot of effort to get some Buddhist beads, and presented them to every female family member in the mansion as a gift. For these Buddhist beads, Mrs. Ye knelt down devoutly for a long time. If she knew that the Buddhist beads she worked so hard to obtain were given to a maid, I don't know what she would think.

Thinking of this, Luo Yunchu hummed, and an idea came into his mind. He leaned into Liansheng's ear, whispered a few words, and let him leave.

Jiang Xiuhe deliberately wanted to deal with them, so he took the initiative to attack her first, and then said that the matter of the Buddha beads was small, but it was enough to make Ye Shi angry. After all, Jiang Xiuhe ruined her mind. Neither will have a good face.

Thinking of this, Luo Yunchu turned and went back to the house.

In the evening, after Luo Yunchu had dinner, he immediately went to the Jingxinyuan, volunteered to take a walk with the old lady Ye, and took her to the place he designed.

Although Mrs. Ye wondered why Luo Yunchu came over suddenly, but when she heard that he came to accompany her for a walk, her mood suddenly improved a lot. She is getting old and her legs and feet are not good, so she would go out for a walk after dinner every day, but Few people know about this. Everyone only knows that she likes to take a walk after dinner. No one knows that it is because of her legs and feet. Naturally, no one will accompany her. Except for Master Luo, I heard that Luo Yunchu made a special trip to accompany her for a walk , she was naturally very happy.

Seeing a faint smile on Mrs. Ye's face, Luo Yunchu got up and walked forward, took out a bottle from his arms, handed it to Mrs. Ye, and said, "Grandmother, this is what my grandson honored you, grandson Knowing that your legs and feet are not good, applying this medicated oil every now and then can improve a lot.”

Mrs. Ye raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, then nodded lightly, took the bottle and said softly: "You are so filial, very good, then grandma will accept it." While picking her up, she thought, why she didn't realize it before, This grandson is so careful and caring?

After Mrs. Ye received the medicated oil, Luo Yunchu took a step forward, held her arm, and walked with her into the garden. While walking, he asked some questions carefully, so as to keep her in Mrs. Ye's heart. better impression.

Facts have proved that this move is indeed very useful. Although Ye Shi was surprised, her impression of this grandson gradually deepened. Due to the early death of her son, she did not pay too much attention to these sons. How can she have such a filial grandson? Son, she was also very happy.

Unknowingly, the two walked into the garden. While walking, there was a sudden sound of quarreling not far away. Luo Yunchu pretended to be stunned, and then helped Mrs. Ye walk over slowly.

I saw that Lian Sheng was arguing with a maid, and that maid was Qiu Ning under the second lady's hand. Seeing Mrs. Ye approaching, the two of them restrained their expressions and lowered their heads respectfully to say hello.

"Liansheng, what happened?" Luo Yunchu looked at Liansheng and asked softly.

Lian Sheng raised his head pretending to be hesitant, glanced at Mrs. Ye, then hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm arguing with Miss Qiuning about something."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Mrs. Ye asked subconsciously after hearing the words.

When Lian Sheng was asked, he answered truthfully: "Back to the old lady, Miss Qiuning said... The second lady gave her the Buddhist beads that you gave to every female family member. The little one really didn't believe it, so she argued with Miss Qiuning." Woke up."

When Luo Yun first heard the words, he pretended to be surprised and looked at Ye Shi beside him, then at Lian Sheng in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Lian Sheng, don't talk nonsense, how could the second lady put such an important thing Give it to a servant girl at will?"

Lian Sheng quickly raised his head and said seriously: "I don't dare to talk nonsense, young master and old lady please learn from me."

Mrs. Ye stood aside and listened for a while, and then she understood. She remembered that she spent a lot of effort to get those prayer beads. In order to have a good omen in the mansion, she gave these prayer beads to the Luo mansion. All the female relatives counted as a wish, but I didn't expect...

"Chun Tao, take someone to see Qiu Ning's room." Ye did not want to waste words, so she said succinctly.The beads were her wish, and she begged for them after kneeling for so long. If the second lady gave them to a servant girl at will, where would her face be?

Standing aside, Luo Yunchu watched Ye's complexion change. It was pale at first, and now it was livid. Of course, when she saw that the string of Buddhist beads was really found from Qiu Ning's house, her expression was straight. turn black.

Mrs. Ye looked at the beads in Chuntao's hand, then at Qiuning who was not daring to say anything, and asked coldly, "Qiu Ning, where did this come from?"

"Back to the old lady, this is really a gift from the second lady to the servant!" Qiu Ning said anxiously with her eyes wide open.In front of the old lady, how could she dare to speak half a lie.

"Really? Chuntao, go and invite the second lady over here." Hearing what she said, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but look even more ugly, and her brows were tightly knit together.

Soon the second lady rushed over, and when she saw the Buddhist beads in Chuntao's hand, she knew something had happened, she swallowed her saliva, walked up to Ye Shi pretending to be calm, and said in a low voice after saluting: "The old lady is looking for you!" Concubine, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Ye didn't answer immediately, she stretched out her hand to take the Buddhist beads from Chuntao's hand, handed them to the second lady, and asked coldly: "If I remember correctly, this is a gift from me, right? Why did it appear in a In the servant girl's room?"

Jiang Xiuhe was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was because the old lady knew that she had given the Buddhist beads to Qiu Ning, so the teacher came to question her.It's just a string of broken beads, she doesn't care about it at all, and such a cheap thing is not worthy of her, so it is rewarded to Qiu Ning, but she dare not say that in front of Mrs. Ye.

"The old lady is wronged." Jiang Xiuhe lowered her head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised her head, looked at Mrs. Ye with tears in her eyes, and began to cry. She pointed at Qiu Ning and said coldly, "She stole my concubine's identity." It must be, you cheap girl, how dare you steal something, see if I don't beat you to death!"

"Ma'am! I don't have any servants!" Qiu Ning was terrified by her appearance, she repeatedly shook her head and said no, tears streaming down her eyes, "Ma'am, you clearly gave this to my servants, and my servants didn't steal anything!"

Jiang Xiuhe gave her a hard look when she heard the words, this idiot, doesn't she understand what she means at all?It's been so long with her for nothing!Thinking of this, she cried and signaled Qiu Ning with her eyes.

After all, Qiu Ning is a maid with winking eyes, and she understood what the second lady meant after a while, so she pursed her lips, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a hoarse voice: "Old lady, calm down, this...is indeed stolen by this servant. "

"What did you say?" Ye Shi was stunned by the appearance of the two of them. She looked at Qiu Ning on the ground and asked back.

"Qiu Ning, just now you kept saying that you didn't steal it, but now you suddenly changed your mind, how can grandma believe you." Luo Yunchu, who had been watching for a long time, interjected at the right time.

"The servant was afraid, so he lied. The Buddha beads were stolen by the servant. Please blame the old lady." Qiu Ning gritted her teeth and took all the responsibility. She knew that only in this way, the master would be fine.

While several people were talking, the third wife, Qi Shi, passed by the garden. When she saw Ye Shi here, she walked over with the maid Lamei.

"I've seen the old lady." The third lady saluted respectfully, then looked at the second lady and Qiu Ning on the ground in puzzlement, and saw that their faces were covered with tears, and she couldn't help but wondered: "What's the matter?" ?”

Luo Yunchu pursed his lips and did not speak. Chuntao, who was behind him, told the third lady what had happened in a low voice. Maid, Lamei, don’t you think so?”

Lamei responded softly, then stood up, looked at the string of Buddhist beads with a tangled expression, her strange expression was quickly noticed by Mrs Ye, so Mrs Ye asked: "Lamei, do you have something to say? "

Lamei nodded slightly, then knelt down, and said, "Back to the old lady, a few days ago, sister Qiu Ning said that the second lady rewarded her with something and showed it off among our servant girls. It is this string of Buddha beads."

"Is this true?" Luo Yunchu pretended to be shocked and looked at her and asked.

Lamei nodded, "I don't dare to tell lies. If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can find other maids and they will know."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Ning's body trembled heavily. She had indeed shown off among the maidservants that the Buddhist beads presented by the old lady were different from ordinary Buddhist beads, and they were worth selling. Forget to shut up.

After hearing what she had said, Mrs. Ye asked Chuntao to find several other maids to ask, and it was exactly as Lamei said.She frowned, her face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, the second madam said just now that the servant girl stole her Buddhist beads, but now it is confirmed that she rewarded them, and the reason for the reward is easy to understand.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Ye gave the second lady a mocking look, snorted coldly, and said, "I don't know that the second lady despises what the old lady gave you so much. It seems that the old lady is being sentimental." After finishing speaking, she Angrily turned and left.

When Luo Yunchu saw this, he hurriedly followed, holding Ye Shi's arm and walking towards the Jingxin Garden. While walking, he comforted him, but a happy smile floated on the corner of his lips in the dark.

Let's say Jiang Xiuhe stood where she was, clenched her fists tightly, her eyes were burning, and when she returned to Xilan Garden, she quickly turned around and kicked Qiu Ning behind her, cursing: "You idiot, how could you be like this? Stupid! Get away!" After she finished speaking, she asked Qiu Ning to be sent to the firewood room, while she sat on a chair angrily, her finely crafted clothes crumpled by her.

"Madam, please spare this servant! This servant will not dare again! Madam!" Qiu Ning was dragged out of the yard, crying all the way, her voice gradually disappearing.

At the same time, Luo Feng came back from the outside, and after hearing what had happened, he clenched his fists angrily, then looked at Jiang Xiuhe, and said seriously: "Mother, this must have something to do with that little bastard Luo Yunchu, look at me How to deal with him!"

Jiang Xiuhe nodded heavily when she heard the words, she had an intuition that Luo Yunchu must have done this. Thinking of this, she snorted coldly and said, "Feng'er, I leave this matter to you. How can you be content if you don’t go back for your mother’s sake?”

Luo Feng hummed, while comforting his mother, while pondering in his mind, suddenly, an idea popped up spontaneously.
