Chapter 63 Young Master Who Leaked the Word?
There was silence in Huanhuaxuan, everyone was staring at the third young master Li You, waiting to see how he would deal with Qing'er, as for what these people were thinking in their hearts, no one knew.

Qing'er's face was full of tears, and she held on to Li You's trousers, because of too much force, she grabbed his loose coat off her body, she didn't realize it, she just held on to his legs tightly, As if it was the only life-log she could hold on to in the turbulent rapids.

Li You stared at her coldly, but hesitated in his heart.Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You...Third Young Master, you can't easily let her go, this kind of bewitching things are most taboo for old ladies and wives..."

"Since you know, why are you shouting so loudly?!" Li You glanced at her, "Do you think my reputation is good? So give me more talk, so that people outside can know about the Three Kingdoms of Qingguohou Mansion. The young master still can't control the girl in his house?!"

Lan Xiang's heart trembled, and she said in a low voice: "But such a big matter...how can you hide it from the old lady and the wife..." She was stared at by Li You with a guilty conscience, and she argued strongly: "I am also thinking about the third young master. If you want to plot against you, you can't let it go easily, right? Qing'er was the one who committed the crime himself, and deserves to be killed, but the person behind the scenes must be investigated. There is no reason in the world to guard against thieves for a thousand days, the third young master... "The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was reasonable, and the volume of her voice became higher and higher. When she raised her eyes, she saw the fierce light from Li You's eyes, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. It was as if she was a different person, the gentleness and kindness of the past were gone, and she dared not speak any more.

Li You gritted his teeth, kicked Qing'er away, and cursed: "Go away! You forgot your duty! You are raised in the house, and I don't want you to embarrass me! I will treat you politely, and you will Are you pushing an inch?! You even forgot your own identity! Calculating this and that all day long, it doesn’t make me sick!”

Qing'er's face turned pale, his body swayed, and he collapsed into a ball.Lan Xiang's lips turned blue, and she knelt down tremblingly. Seeing this, the girls around her also knelt down one after another. Even Chunying was dragged by Shi'er and threw herself on the ground.She secretly raised her eyes to look at Li You, then at Qing'er, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.In fact, Qing'er did not poison or curse the third young master as they originally thought. What she wanted was an untimely love in the eyes of others. Unfortunately, it was obviously just a sad unrequited love.

The anger on Li You's face was still there, and he said with a straight face: "You still don't do anything? What are you doing here? Hurry up and throw this bitch back into the house!"

Lan Xiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly had a bad feeling, and hurriedly stopped her: "Third young master..."

"If this matter gets out, no one will be ashamed!" Li You interrupted her, "Let people know that there is a demagogue in the Qingguohou's mansion, what kind of nice words do you think?! Everyone here today Shut up! Tell me to hear a gossip outside, no matter if you have face or shame, throw them out! I will do what I say! Don't say that you are old people for several lifetimes. You have to let it out because of your identity! Not only your own stature, but even your parents, brothers, children, relatives... I will not keep any of them! Remember them all?!"

Li You has always looked like Mr. Wen Wenjia in front of his servants, but now he suddenly put on a straight face and put on a show of power, which is quite like his father's dignity. .

Seeing this, Li You's face softened a little. Seeing Lan Xiang's hesitant expression, he knew what she wanted to say, so he snorted secretly and said, "You will take care of that bitch, except for providing food. No one is allowed to talk to her when the water quilt is spread! It will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, and according to the old rule, there will be a new batch of people in the mansion. When the time comes, you can quietly call Ping An over and ask him to take the people out, and it will be over. If When asked by the old lady, the lady only said that Qing'er was very ill and couldn't work, so she was asked to go out, and you are not allowed to mention a word about today's affairs!"

Although Lan Xiang was still a little bit unwilling, but thinking that the goal had been achieved, she stopped talking too much, and responded respectfully, and began to think again in her heart, it seemed that she accidentally offended the third young master today, so she had to find a way to coax him back.

Li You glanced around, suddenly felt a little depressed, and missed Mei Xiang more and more.If Mei Xiang was here, she would definitely handle the matter properly, so why should he worry about it?
Manru pushed aside the crowd of onlookers, stood up, and scolded Qing'er's mother-in-law: "Why are you still here in a daze? Didn't you hear what the third young master said? Send him back to the house quickly, and wipe him off with hot water." , and put on clean clothes. Although she made a mistake, if she gets sick, it will hurt others and make it even more troublesome!"

The wives rushed to pull Qing'er as if they had just woken up from a dream, but Qing'er seemed to be in a daze, limp on the ground in a daze, unable to stand up no matter how much someone pulled her, the wives were in a hurry, so they had to sit on one side pick her up and drag her away.

Man Ru glanced around again, and said with a smile to Li You: "Third Young Master, it's cold today, everyone has worked hard watching this, why don't you give us a cup of hot tea?"

Li You's heart moved, he looked at her seriously, and then nodded with satisfaction: "You're right, since that's the case, each person will be rewarded with a second-class seal, and the mothers have worked hard, so let's get double rewards."

There was also a tael of silver for the second-class seal, and everyone was very happy now, and they all saluted and thanked Li You.Li You once again reiterated that he was not allowed to chew his tongue, and naturally everyone agreed.He breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the house.

Lan Xiang glanced at Manru with a smirk, and said lightly: "You are so clever, you have begged such a clever sect in front of everyone, now everyone will miss you." In her heart Can't hide her jealousy, in Huanhuaxuan, money matters have always been her job!Why did Manru take it this time? !

Manru just looked humble: "My sister was joking, it was the silver rewarded by the third young master, so everyone is naturally thinking of the third young master. I am just following orders."

Lan Xiang sneered: "I'm just talking casually, do you think I'm really praising you?! It's just whether I reward you or not. The third young master knows it well. Where is it your turn to talk too much? Are you sick? Why do you still come out to blow air?"

Manru smiled at her: "Sister Xie for thinking about it, it's actually not a serious illness. I just slept and recovered. Now that sister Meixiang is not here, how can I be lazy?"

Lan Xiang gritted her teeth, seeing the maids gathered around to peek at her bickering with Man Ru, her face blushed, and she cursed: "Aren't you going back to work?! Want to be lazy?!"

The maids dispersed immediately, but in secret, it was inevitable to quietly discuss what they had seen and heard just now. The bickering among the big girls was a good topic of conversation, but Qing'er's boldness was a hotter topic.

Chunying was watching the fire in the small kitchen, and whispered to Shi'er who came over to keep warm: "That talisman is not harmful, what's the big deal... Is sister Lan Xiang going too far? She actually said that Qing'er was killed It deserves to be beaten to death." She felt a little regretful in her heart, if she had known what Qing'er was holding, she would not have told Lan Xiang, anyway, that magical spell would not be effective.Now that Qing'er has been convicted and will be kicked out, isn't it her fault?
Shi'er glared at her, turned to look outside the door, saw no one was passing by, and then poked her head back: "Are you stupid? She has that kind of thought, she just wants to die! Even if it wasn't for Sister Lanxiang, she wouldn't be able to get it." Well, if you don’t die, you will suffer dozens of boards, so it’s better to die!”

Chunying cried out in pain: "Take it easy! She is not the only one who has that kind of thought, she just got caught. If this is courting death, what will the others say?"

Shi'er curled her lips: "Can it be the same? It's not surprising that a girl wants to climb high branches and be an aunt, but who would want to be a husband and wife with the young master? With the background and character of our third young master, we are not as good as the official family. Even a daughter is not worthy, let alone a girl? The worst thing is that she actually wants to cast a curse! I heard people say that there is a kind of marriage and harmony outside, which can make a man and a woman who are not destined to become husband and wife, but there is a reason for that. It's against God's will. No one can say for sure about this kind of divine matter, if she really gets it, what will the third young master do?"

Chunying couldn't help nodding: "That's true. The third young master seems to be only 12 years old this year, right? He's two or three years younger than Qing'er, and he doesn't care about Qing'er..." Thinking about it this way, it seems The third young master is rather pitiful.

"So, Qing'er asked for it on her own. Fortunately, the third young master spared her life today. She didn't suffer any crimes. She will still live a peaceful life after leaving the house in a few days. At most, she will eat It’s not as comfortable to wear, so it’s just a little more air. In two years, things will fade away, who still remembers her?” Shi’er moved his feet towards the stove, took a breath of warm air into his palm, and muttered , "She is a good master..."

Chunying thought for a while, and agreed with Shi'er's opinion in her heart.On the surface today, the third young master seems to be ruthless, but it is a kind of protection. If he really does not miss the old friendship, as long as Lan Xiang is allowed to report the matter to his wife, Qing'er will definitely be miserable.Now she has only been locked up for a few days, and she can be released safely without being boarded, which is considered good luck.Maybe she will be very sad and disappointed, but Chunying always feels that the so-called love that a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl has for the little master she has served since childhood is not necessarily true love. Sober up.

Thinking of this, Chunying felt that the third young master was quite kind.Although he always said some very selfish things, thinking that as long as there was a reward, he could instruct her to do any dangerous things, and he would scold and kick girls whenever he wanted, but when he thought about it carefully, he was still very protective of his side. of people.Mei Xiang and the others were infected with the wind and cold, he would brave the storm to ask his wife to send someone to call for a doctor, and Qing'er made a big mistake, he held it up high and put it down gently, in order to stop everyone's mouths, it was another threat , Another money bribe.All kinds of things made her have more confidence in this young master.As long as she doesn't make any big mistakes, based on what she did for him, she should be able to keep him safe in the past few years, right?

Just when everyone thought that Qing'er's matter would come to an end, the situation suddenly changed.

On the afternoon of the last day of November, Chunying stayed in the small kitchen to cook a pot of porridge and steamed a basket of pumpkin buns, planning to quietly give some to Sanqing when it got dark.She didn't go to Zhumeng Mountain Residence for a few days in a row, and she didn't know if Zhou Nian knew the reason, whether she was hungry or cold.

A group of mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly broke into Huanhua Pavilion, causing a commotion.Chunying poked her head out to see what was going on, and then a woman came over, glanced at the small kitchen, and ordered: "Turn off the fire! Everyone come to the yard, and wait for the wife to ask questions!"

Chunying turned her head and looked at Aunt Li, feeling apprehensive, she followed suit and came to the courtyard to gather with other maids to exchange information privately, and found that no one knew what happened.The third young master Li You got the news and came out accompanied by Lan Xiangluer and others, and waited in the front yard a little uneasy.

After waiting for a while, his wife, An Shi, arrived in a soft sedan chair, ordered the courtyard gate to be closed as soon as she entered, and sent her trusted mother-in-law to guard the gate and various corridors and passages.

Li You hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Mother, this is..."

An Shi glared at him, with a hint of annoyance in her eyes: "Where's Qing'er? Drag me out!"

Li You was startled, what happened?Who leaked the news? !
(Guess who?)
