Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 201 Malicious slander, the princess rescued (5)
"Of course, speaking so hesitantly, people will inevitably misunderstand whether you are guilty." Qiu Mingyue's voice then came from the carriage.

Qiu Mingyu wanted to lift the curtain to get out of the car several times, but was stopped by Baozhu.How can an unmarried girl meet a foreign man so grandly?

All eyes were on Pei Siqi, under such coercion, he had to sigh, clasped his fists to the carriage where Qiu Mingyue was in, and said, "I have no intention of slandering the girl's reputation, since the girl is rich and honored now, Si Qi doesn't care about it at all." It's time to interrupt again. I just thought about what the girl said that day, and couldn't help it for a while, so..."

"Presumptuous!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a shout from inside the carriage.

Qiu Mingyue's voice was no longer as flat as before, but cold and majestic.

"Seeing that you are also a scholar, don't you know what it means to say nothing? Such a slander of my reputation, but what a gentleman does? It is a waste of reading the books of sages."

Pei Sizhao was scolded until his face turned pale and pale, and he said in embarrassment and a little sadly: "Fifth Miss...why did you speak so harshly? Did the girl forget what she said that day? For a year, I will remember it all the time."

"What exactly do you want to say? A gentleman is magnanimous, why bother to be so long-winded?"

Qiu Mingyue seemed impatient, "As you said, if I really have anything to do with you, and you stopped my carriage today in full view, if it's just to say these few words that are neither serious nor serious, then what a big deal! You don't have to."

Pei Siqi bowed his head for a while, then said slowly: "Miss, have you forgotten the painting that was handed to me in Fengxin Pavilion by Cuiwei Lake that day?" He slowly took out a scroll from his sleeve and showed it to everyone.

Everyone around gasped. Although the painting was not completely exposed, but only the tip of the iceberg, they could clearly see the poem written by the woman's Junxiu handwriting.

Leaning against the acacia tree, looking at the Albizia julibrissin in the distance.How can I know?Look forward to each other for a long time.

This poem is euphemistic, but every sentence expresses the woman's lovesickness.

The acacia tree and the Albizia julibrissin are longing for each other deeply, and the latter is looking forward to being with you.Such euphemistic and coquettish poems are actually written by a famous lady?

In an instant, the faces of the people around changed, and their eyes were full of disdain and ridicule.

The eldest lady's eyes were already red with anger, and she was about to curse angrily, but she heard Qiu Mingyue's chuckle in her ears.

"It's a good poem, but it's not mine."

The eldest lady flicked her sleeves, "Now that there are all the witnesses and evidences, you still dare to quibble?"

"My mother is so eager to prove my crime, what good is it?" Qiu Mingyue replied calmly, and immediately lowered the eldest lady.

"You—" Da Furen was so angry that her chest and abdomen heaved up and down, her face was livid.

Jiang quickly reached out to pat her quilt, and said to Qiu Mingyue with a little accusation: "The fifth girl is familiar with women's ethics, how can she talk to her elders like this? Isn't it disobedient and disrespectful?"

Qiu Mingyue sighed quietly, her tone was filled with sadness.

"I am a little concubine, how can I disrespect my elders? Everyone has seen what happened today. This Mr. Pei suddenly rushed out to intercept my carriage, and kept saying that I had saved his life. Mingyue is speechless. Dare I ask you ladies?" One sentence. If you receive favors from others, can you hope that the other party will repay you in this way?"

The surrounding discussions gradually subsided.

Qiu Mingyue said again: "If I am really kind to others, it is virtuous, broad and wise. Why should I not accept this kind of honor? However, Mr. Pei said a few words, but he didn't get the point. On the contrary, everyone misunderstood me. Do not abide by women's morals in men's private meetings. Such slander, how can everyone present be angry and not speak?"

Her voice was firm, her tone weak and mournful.

The morning breeze floated into everyone's ears with a bit of melancholy.It makes people feel pitiful.

Qiu Mingyue took a deep breath, as if crying.

"My mother is very strict with the sisters at home. No matter how bad I am, how can I not understand the fearful truth of people's words? If I am not for myself, how dare I bear the crime of burdening all the sisters? From the beginning, my mother He reprimanded and taught Mingyue adhering to his mother's precepts, keeping them in mind and not daring to disobey them. However, at this time, it is about Mingyue's innocence, and it is also about the reputation of all sisters. Even if she is guilty of offending her mother, Mingyue has to argue. "

"Mother is angry, Mingyue...is willing to be punished later. I hope mother, let Mingyue defend herself, and don't let the rumors hurt my ears and tarnish my sister's reputation. Mingyue, I am grateful."

boom--

There was a light sound from inside the carriage, and then there was a maidservant's exclamation.

"Miss, what are you kneeling for? Get up quickly."

Everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that Qiu Mingyue committed the crime consciously, but obeyed the defense between men and women and never got out of the carriage. She knelt down in the carriage and was punished.

All the people who come to Baohua Temple to offer incense are noble ladies, so they naturally understand the dirty things in the big family.Let’s just listen to Qiu Mingyue’s sincerity and aggrieved words. She was obviously made things difficult by her aunt and not angrily defended herself, but she kept in mind the respect of her elders and did not care about her.The reason for the rebuttal was because of the sisterhood.

How can such a woman who has both filial piety and righteousness be the kind of person who is private in her boudoir?Today's matter, I'm afraid there is something strange.

Mrs. Xue Guohou saw the faces of the people, and knew that something was wrong, her face darkened.

"Mingyue, we all know that you are wronged, but your mother is also thinking of you. As the saying goes, a child never speaks of his mother's faults, and there are no parents who are wrong."

With one word, she dismissed Qiu Mingyue's bitter plan back to its original form. It is only natural for children to obey their parents, and there is no room for rebuttal.What's more, it's the concubine against the mistress?

There were low weeping sounds coming intermittently from inside the carriage, which made people feel pity and sympathy.

"Mingyue knows that her status is low, and her mother cares about her teachings. Mingyue is grateful. How can she be wronged? My aunt cares, and Mingyue is also moved in her heart. It's just that today's matter is related to the style of Qiu's family. I absolutely don't allow such a frivolous man to slander. Otherwise , even if blood is splashed on the spot, I have to clear myself of my innocence.”

There was a faint cry in the previous sentence, but the latter sentence was sonorous and powerful, shaking everyone's eardrums, and admiration arose from their hearts.

"The fifth girl is very righteous, and I will testify for you. If you have any grievances, you may as well speak up. All the wives present are as clear as a mirror, and will definitely not let that villain succeed."

The speaker was a beautiful woman dressed in a rose-red and golden double-layer wide satin robe with a long tail. Her expression was kind, her eyes were wise, and she spoke with a sense of majesty.

When Mrs. Xue Guohou saw the man, her eyes shook.

"Princess Zhennan?"

The women around were also startled, and then Qi Qifu bowed down.

Inside the carriage, Qiu Mingyue's eyes trembled.

Princess Zhennan, Feng Qingyue's mother and concubine?She also came to Baohua Temple to pray?

For some reason, she, who was so calm and calm even when everyone was not good at speaking, became a little nervous at this moment.She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to lift the curtain of the carriage, but she had some considerations, so she could only pray in a low voice in the carriage: "Little girl Qiu Mingyue, I don't know if the princess is married, so I can't kneel down and salute the princess, and I hope the princess will forgive me." .”
