The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 74
After watching the good show for a while, Xiao Ruan came out to smooth things over. She didn't want to mess up the banquet she worked so hard to organize because of this so-called cousin.Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ruan said a few words and gave Li Qiuxia a step down. As for Li Qiuxia, she couldn't stay any longer, after being ridiculed by Xiao Ying, she couldn't hold back, she covered her face and ran out in a hurry.

Which of these ladies and wives is not seasoned, so Li Qiuxia's trick is nothing new.After a while, one by one brought the topic to Xiao Ruan again.

Ever since Huihui's banquet was self-defeating, everyone in the city knew that Miss Xiao was in charge of the Xiao family. These ladies came up to praise Xiao Ruan one by one, and Xiao Ying who was watching was gritting her teeth with hatred. .

Thinking about it, Xiao Ying made a move.

She calmly walked into a group of young ladies who were promoting the conversation and chatted with them.

"Hey, even though it's autumn, it's still terribly hot today, don't you think so?"

While talking, Xiao Ying raised her hand to wipe away the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead. When she raised her hand, her sleeve slipped off, revealing her white hand.

The sharp-eyed Lu Shao immediately noticed the redness, swelling and bruises on Xiao Ying's arm.

"Sister Ying, what's wrong with you?!"

In this way, other people also noticed, and they all took Xiao Ying's hand to check her injury.

"You... it looks like you were pinched by someone! Sister Ying, tell me, who is so vicious and pinched you like this!"

Lu Shao's voice was not low, and the women next to her also surrounded her when they heard it.

Xiao Ying was overjoyed, just now, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she pinched and pulled her arms, unexpectedly the effect was surprisingly good.

She withdrew her hand pretending to be scared, quickly glanced at Xiao Ruan who was walking over, shook her head and said, "Sister Lu Shao, don't ask me, Yinger, this is... I fell it myself. "

Lu Shao frowned, and forcibly pulled her hand over.

"Nonsense, it's clear that someone is bullying you! Who are you talking about? Princess Jingnan is also here today. Let Princess Jingnan decide for you!"

The other young ladies also echoed, asking Xiao Ying to tell quickly who she was murdered by.

Xiao Ying's eyes were clouded with mist, and she lowered her hands and muttered: "This... These days, my sister is in a bad mood because of my relatives, and I'm a little irritable... It's no wonder that Ying'er didn't wink and went to look for her. Sister...so...so..."

Xiao Ying's voice became smaller and smaller, but the people present could hear it clearly, Huo Yixuan even rushed forward and pointed at Xiao Ying and shouted: "You, the elder sister, are so cruel, you actually do such a thing?" Hei Shou, what's wrong with Sister Ying'er, you beat her like this!"

Concubine Jingnan was standing beside Xiao Ruan, and she frowned when she heard such words. She knew Xiao Ruan's character, and she probably would not even look down on such an insidious villain's deeds. Unclear, Xiao Ruan's reputation is about to be ruined.

"Xiao Ying, what's going on? You said Xiao Ruan pinched it?"

Xiao Ying blinked, big tears rolled down, she looked up at Xiao Ruan, then lowered her head in horror.

"No... no, Ying'er was wrong, and it's none of my sister's business."

He said no, but in the eyes of others, wouldn't it mean that he was bullied and dared not speak up!

Xiao Ruan sneered, slowly pushed aside the person and walked over, took Xiao Ying's hand and looked at it.

"It really does have a lot of bruises..."

Xiao Ruan seemed to be talking to herself, looked at Xiao Ying with a smile, turned around and said to Princess Jingnan.

"Princess, it's Ruan'er's fault that Ruan'er failed to take good care of her younger sister as the eldest sister. My concubine sister was wronged and spoke incoherently. Naturally, I, as an elder sister, can't just let it go. I must seek justice for her. Yes, and the princess is invited to preside over it."

A word of concubine sister made many aristocratic ladies present tremble, and they also have some concubine daughters in their families, so they naturally know what kind of style they are.So the noble ladies who still had some sympathy for Xiao Ying couldn't help showing a little inquiry.

Princess Jingnan nodded approvingly, Xiao Ruan is the one whom the Huo family misses so much, how could he be the one to take charge of such indecent matters, if this matter cannot be handled properly today, Xiao Ruan will definitely fall into the shoes of others.

"We have to find out, the second young lady of the Xiao family suffered such injuries for no reason, and we can't let the perpetrators get away with it."

The meaning of Princess Jingnan's words couldn't be more obvious. Didn't Xiao Ying want to blame Xiao Ruan for the injury on her hand? It's up to me.

It's just that Xiao Ying panicked. Her original intention was to pretend to be pitiful in front of the lady, and to discredit Xiao Ruan. How could she have thought that this woman would let Princess Jingnan decide to investigate this matter thoroughly.

"No...no need, princess... Ying'er is fine, princess don't need to worry about it."

As she spoke, Xiao Ying lowered her head with evasive eyes, for fear that the incident would be revealed and people would know that she framed Xiao Ruan.

The Gu family on the side naturally understood her daughter's plan, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, she quickly jumped out to calm things down.

"My concubine, I would like to thank the concubine for her concern. If you think about it, this is a family matter of the Xiao family. How dare you nudge the concubine to intervene? But don't delay the concubine and all the ladies and ladies enjoying the flowers because of such a trivial matter."

No one else is a fool, can this mother and daughter really fool everyone around?They already knew what was going on in their hearts, and looked at Xiao Ying shamelessly, thinking that this concubine from Xiao's mansion is really bold, to frame her sister-in-law in front of so many people.

Before Princess Jingnan and Xiao Ruan could speak, the restless Huo Yixuan stood up again.

"How can I do that! Appreciating the flowers is a trivial matter, the most important thing is to uphold justice for you. Since Princess Jingnan is here today, you don't have to be afraid of this or that."

As she said that, Huo Yixuan still looked at Xiao Ruan in a demonstrative manner, obviously she had already decided in her heart that she was the murderer.

This was what Xiao Ruan wanted best, and she took advantage of the opportunity to quickly speak: "What Miss Huo said is very true, if my sister is wronged, just say it, so that everyone can hear whether it is because I am in a bad mood as a sister I can take my anger out on you."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, which was hard to catch, Xiao Ruan still had a generous smile on his face, as if what happened now had nothing to do with her.

"Miss Huo's kindness is appreciated by Ying'er. This... is definitely not what my sister did. The big sister is so kind-hearted. How could she hurt me? It's too late for me to hurt. It's Ying'er's mistaken words that caused everyone to misunderstand. .”

When the matter developed to such an extent, Xiao Ying naturally couldn't listen to Princess Jingnan's investigation. Not only would there be no way to cure Xiao Ruan, but she would also be dragged into the water. Now the only sure way is to find a way to suppress it.

Mrs. Gu also spoke from the side: "Yes, how could Missy hurt people? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Thinking that the banquet was still being held, Xiao Ruan didn't intend to embarrass the two of them any more, after all, it wasn't worth destroying the mood of so many people just to punish these two who didn't know the lesson.

"If that's the case, then forget it. I just hope that my sister will think more about what to say and what not to say before she speaks. If you don't understand what you said today, you will come up and point at me. Sister I don’t want to take a scapegoat.”

Isn't it Huo Yixuan who said pointing at her nose and scolding?The latter blushed when he heard this, but he was afraid of Princess Jingnan who was beside Xiao Ruan, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it.

Seeing that Xiao Ruan had no intention of embarrassing, Xiao Ying's mother and daughter couldn't be happier, they stepped aside and dared not make a sound.After all, there are so many people here today, and anyone who is picked will be a respectable person, and if one accidentally stumbles, it is a small shame, but the loss of contacts is a big deal.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xiao Ruan was worried that everyone would lose interest, so she had to get up and invite everyone to go to the back garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemums in the backyard are blooming just right now, Mrs. Xiao loves flowers, and there are many skillful gardeners in the house, so looking at the back garden is very comfortable.

"My God, green chrysanthemums!"

I don't know which lady yelled in surprise and attracted everyone.

Huo Yixuan chuckled lightly, played with the handkerchief in her hand and said, "What's so strange about green ones, I've seen colorful ones before."

Xiao Ruan, who was walking in front with Princess Jingnan, just smiled slightly when she heard it. Some people are born like this, wishing that other people's eyes would be on her every day.

"This green chrysanthemum is also called green peony. It's really not easy to raise. It's very delicate. The gardener in the house spent some effort to cultivate a few clusters."

Xiao Ruan explained with a smile, Yuzhi helped the chrysanthemum that had just bloomed, and scared away a bee that was collecting honey.

"No matter how beautiful the flowers bloom, it's useless, isn't it? There will always be a day of thanksgiving. It's not as good as that graceful willow, which sprouts buds in spring, and the green will not fade until frost."

While talking, Lu Shao pulled a piece of chrysanthemum petals, and his gaze fell on Xiao Ruan as if nothing.Most of the people here didn't know about Xiao Ruan's festivities with this young lady of the Lu family, so they didn't take it to heart.

But Xiao Ruan knew it herself. Didn't she, Lu Shao, mean to use the chrysanthemum as a metaphor for herself, saying that her flowers will only bloom for a while, which is to show her strength.

Lu Heng at the side also heard the trickiness in these words, but Lu Shao's words were really skillful, he couldn't rush forward and say that Ruan'er was not a chrysanthemum, could he?But she wasn't very worried, after all Xiao Ruan couldn't tolerate being bullied by others.

"Sister Lu Shao is right if she wants to say that, but... does my sister know that every year at the end of February, there are scattered flying flowers?"

Lu Shao is also a well-read poet, knowing that Xiao Ruan was talking about catkins, he figured out what she meant after a little thought, and immediately changed his expression.Willow catkins are also called poplar flowers. In February, catkins fly and fall into the lake. Doesn’t it correspond to the four characters of water-like poplar flowers?

Huo Yixuan didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, but when Lu Shao's smile disappeared, she knew that she didn't get any benefits. Thinking about how this woman was showing off her power by Princess Jingnan just now, she felt disgusted and shot at Xiao Ruan His eyes were also a little more malicious.

What Xiao Ruan didn't care about the most was the way others looked at her, after all, it couldn't threaten her life.
