Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 78 Sisters against each other, scapegoat (3)
Realizing this, Da Furen was annoyed and was about to explain something.But Xue Yuhua suddenly said, "How is it proper to be so reckless?" But he was scolding the maid.

The eldest lady was taken aback, and the servant girl who was kneeling on the ground looked bitter.

"My lord, this servant didn't do it on purpose, it's just..." She looked at everyone present, as if she had some scruples.

Xue Yuhua frowned, "What happened?"

The maid raised her head, and everyone saw her appearance clearly.She was actually a pretty young woman.She has an oval face, bright eyes and white teeth, skin as white as snow, and lips as bright as vermilion.She was only wearing a light pink embroidered magnolia dress, but it perfectly outlined her exquisite figure.Coupled with that pair of clear Jianshui Qiutong, she is so soft and cowardly.Da Furen's slap was so hard just now that half of her face was swollen.But she didn't dare to cover her face with her hands, her eyes shimmered with water, and her voice was soft and weak like willows in spring breeze.

"Didn't the son draw a picture a few days ago? You said that the painting was not finished, so you put it on the table, and told the servant not to put it away, but when the servant went in, the painting was gone." She said The face here is a little frightened, and the voice is a little more scared and trembling.

"The painting was still there this morning when the maidservant was making the bed for the son, but now...it's gone..." Yiqin's voice was already weeping.

Qiu Mingyue's face was pale, while Xue Yuhua's face had turned cold.

The Da Furen also secretly thought that something was wrong, Madam Xue Guohou frowned, and lightly reprimanded: "Useless things, if you lose the painting, you can't find it. What are you doing here? Why don't you go and get the painting back?" She is not a fool. How could she not understand what happened by now?She was annoyed in her heart, but in front of the public, especially the old matriarch, she had no choice but to find a way out for Qiu Mingyu.

Yiqin was startled, and subconsciously cast her gaze on Xue Yuhua.Xue Yuhua didn't look at her, but glanced at Qiu Mingyu, whose face was limp and pale as snow.And standing aside, Qiu Minglan, whose face was calm and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, was planning to succeed.He squinted his eyes. Today, if he exposes Qiu Mingyu, he can certainly dispel his mother's idea of ​​letting him marry Qiu Mingyu.But the mother was determined to marry Qiufu, without Qiumingyu and Qiuminglan.Qiumingyu is big-headed and brainless, tricky and arrogant without any scheming.But this Qiu Minglan was different, she was very young and had a deep scheming mind, and her methods were ruthless.He would never marry such a woman.So the only solution for now is——

Thinking in his heart for only a moment, he looked at the angry mother, and stopped her before she had time to repel Yiqin.

"It's gone?" He sneered, "Could it be that the painting has wings?"

Yiqin's eyes flickered, and she immediately pretended to be terrified.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life, but..." She hesitated to speak, as if she had something to hide.

"But what?" Xue Yuhua also raised his eyebrows in cooperation, and his tone was a little more low.

"When the servant entered the room this morning, I saw a shadow flashing outside the window. At first the servant thought it was dizziness and didn't pay much attention. After a while, the painting disappeared after the servant entered the room. The servant suspected, yes, yes... ...Shizi's painting...perhaps...was stolen by Re..." As she spoke, her voice became softer, but everyone present listened carefully.

The old matriarch frowned, Mrs. Xue Guohou's mother and son lived in the Qiu Mansion, but they were inexplicably stolen.Doesn't this show the face of hitting Qiu's family?

She lowered her voice, "Look carefully, what happened to Shizi's painting?"

Mrs. Xue Guohou swallowed the words she was about to say, she glanced at the eldest lady, helplessness flashed in her eyes, and then she began to scold Yiqin again.

"Stealing? I think you are hiding yourselves, and you dare to slander others. You really don't know what to do."

Yiqin trembled, tears streaming down her face.

"Ma'am, I don't have it. I really didn't steal it, not..." She explained in a panic, but her hand seemed to unconsciously touch Qiu Mingyue's limp on the ground, and she unconsciously let go of the painting scroll that fell to the ground.She was startled, then subconsciously picked up the painting, and was about to open it.The eldest lady stared, and the veins on her forehead twitched violently.Just as she was about to stop her, Qiu Mingyu suddenly came back to her senses and rushed towards Yiqin to grab the painting.

"give me back."

A dark air hit, Qiu Mingyu let out a pain, and the painting immediately fell to the ground, and because the red string tied to the painting scroll fell during the tearing, it rolled down and unfolded at this moment.

Madam Xue Guohou closed her eyes and sighed silently.The lady's expression changed, thinking that it would be impossible to stop it.She gritted her teeth and stared at Yiqin bitterly.Yiqin happily grabbed the painting, shouting excitedly.

"Here, this is the painting, I found it, I found it—" She smiled joyfully and excitedly like an innocent child trying to find her lost treasure.

After Qiu Mingyue was pushed away by the eldest lady, she stood beside Qiu Mingzhu, her phoenix eyes lightly swept over the expressions of everyone, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a slight and mocking arc.

The old matriarch's face was as stagnant, the eldest lady bit her lips tightly, and Mrs. Xue Guohou's expression was a little stiff.Everyone's expression is very surprised.

In the silence, there was only the sound of Yiqin weeping with joy. After a long time, Xue Yuhua moved.He slowly walked in front of Yiqin, his eyes averted from the painting in her hand.Then he stretched out his hand and slowly approached——

"Hua Er"

Mrs. Xue Guohou called out suddenly, Xue Yuhua stopped and looked up at her.Mrs. Xue Guohou's face became more rigid, and she moved her fingers, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart.

"This painting...is it really the one you lost?"

Qiu Minglan, who was secretly happy, suddenly darkened, but the eldest lady's eyes lit up, and she turned her head to look at Xue Yuhua expectantly.Hope he can deny it.Qiu Mingyu seemed to have just come back to her senses at this moment, and she didn't hear what Madam Xue Guohou said at all.Fearing that Xue Yuhua thought she had stolen his painting and hated herself, and was eager to get rid of it, she blurted out without thinking.

"I didn't steal that painting, my sixth sister stole it, not me..." She looked at Xue Yuhua anxiously, completely ignoring the consequences of her words, and only hoped that Xue Yuhua would not hate her because of it.

Qiu Mingyu gritted her teeth secretly, the smile on her face was a little lighter, and there was a bit of grievance in her eyes.

"Third sister, you... how can you accuse me?" After she finished speaking, her eyes turned red, and she was about to shed tears.

Qiu Mingyue sighed in her heart, sure enough, women are made of water, and they cry at every turn.The speed at which Qiu Minglan changed her face was a little too fast.

The old matriarch didn't say a word, and looked at the eldest lady deeply, with anger in his eyes.

The Da Furen was so focused on lying for her daughter that she had no time to take care of the old Madam.Seeing the two daughters actually biting each other at this moment, they rolled their eyes in anger and almost fainted. Fortunately, the tortoise shell behind her helped her in time.After she stood firm, not only was she not grateful, but she even pinched the tortoiseshell very hard.A large bruise appeared on the soft skin of the tortoise shell due to pinching, and the pain caused her tears to roll in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry out in pain, and could only bear it silently.
