Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 11

"You..." Yinghui was speechless, her chest was heaving up and down, as if she was so angry, she was also stubborn, so she refused to bow her head and say that she had misheard and was reckless, Mrs. Shen The favor given to her has made her develop a temperament of getting what she wants, and Yingxiu has always avoided her in the past, and has never been so embarrassing when she hit a wall like today.

"The pearl is Qizhi's own treasure, and people would not even take a second look at it. How could it be sent to me? I think you heard it wrong. How can there be a servant girl who would talk like that?" Yingxiu said lightly. She glanced at Zhou's mother carefully, and Zhou's mother pulled Yinghui and said, "The young master has always been the closest to you. Everyone in the house knows that the young lady must have misheard."

Yinghui is not stupid, she knows that she is stepping down for herself, if there is no evidence to say it, it must be the words from Yun Academy, and any divorce is just guesswork, Yingxiu sees her pursing her mouth tightly and sternly refusing Besides, he took a box from the cabinet and handed it to her, "This was brought back from Qiao's residence. It was supposed to be delivered by someone. You will save them a trip by coming here."

Zhou's mother quickly took the box, Yinghui glanced at the box with a dark face, turned around and left the room without saying whether she wanted it, and Zhou's mother hurriedly followed.

Baoqin didn't speak until they were far away, Yingxiu pinched her face with a smile, "Why, are you holding back?"

"Miss, that's something Miss Cousin gave you. She just gave it to her and she didn't say thank you, she even called Miss by your name."

"You also said that you are becoming more and more unruly. You have to call her Second Miss. Cousin has more than these things. Whether you drop or step on that one, it always makes her feel comfortable. Some, Madam will ask tomorrow, don't speak like this now!"

Baoqin stuck out her tongue secretly and ran out, Qingbi walked in, Yingxiu asked her to take out the box that Baoqin had hidden, those two valuable pearls were now hot potatoes.

Qingbi saw that she looked a little helpless, and carefully suggested, "Why don't you return it to the young master."

Yingxiu closed the lid and said with a smile, "How can I withdraw? It's not good enough to say that I don't like it. Qizhi is close to me but he has a good temper. Otherwise, Yinghui will never give anything. If you push it back He, maybe he ran over to ask me why I don't want this."

"Then the young master won't tell the second lady that this pearl is for you?" Qingbi found the box and put it on another place and turned to ask her, "He won't, knowing what kind of temperament his sister is, He won't cause trouble for me." Yingxiu stood up from the couch and walked to the yard, Ziyan was bringing Xiangling to bring the food box, and then she remembered that she seemed to have forgotten to eat.

Sure enough, Mrs. Shen sent someone to let her go in the evening because of the afternoon's business. Mrs. Shen looked at Yingxiu who was sitting below with a very complicated expression. She knew her daughter's temperament best. She was easily irritated and had a direct temper. , not around the corner.

Shen Qizhi sat impatiently, and said to Mrs. Shen, "Mother, I still have to learn calligraphy. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"No, you haven't given me the pearl that uncle gave you. My hairpin happens to be missing. Tell me in front of your mother today that it's useless for you to hold it. Why don't you give it to me?" Yinghui Busily stopped him, and asked him for the pearl.

Yingxiu looked up at them slightly with the handkerchief in her hand, Shen Qizhi shook her off and asked, "Why do I give it to you when I don't need it now?"

"Mother, look at what he said!" Yinghui was so angry that he could only act coquettishly to Mrs. Shen, "Hui'er really likes that pearl, and even made a care for the hairpin. Mother, please help me and my brother talk about it. Give that pearl to Huier as a gift."

"Qizhi, since your sister likes it, you can give this to her." Mrs. Shen looked at Yingxiu who was sitting silently, and felt a little headache for the ignorant daughter in her arms. I said to them, "Who said I don't need it, I will leave this to my wife in the future, if my sister really likes this pearl, I have some for you to choose."

"Mother, I want the pair that my uncle gave me." Seeing that acting like a baby is not enough, Yinghui dragged Mrs. Shen into a rascal. Only a biological mother can act like a baby so presumptuously. The more she thought about it, Mrs. Shen got a headache from being troubled, and her face became a little unhappy, "Okay, this is not a rare thing, it's also available at Mother's place, and I'll get someone to send it to you later."

It's really not a rare thing, it's just the tone of the fight, Yinghui feels in her heart that the bead has fallen into Yingxiu's hands now, the more Shen Qizhi can't get it out, the more real her doubts are, but in the afternoon Madam Shen had already been taught a lesson, Yinghui didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she could only give Yingxiu a bitter look.

Feeling her gaze, Yingxiu raised her head and smiled slightly at her, "I also have a few pairs of good beads. If my sister likes it, I'll ask Qingbi to send it to you."

Mrs. Shen persuaded Yinghui a few words before letting her go back, and left Yingxiu to ask for a conversation. The relationship between mother and daughter was originally not close. What she said in the afternoon, Mrs. Shen can only take it as an unreasonable lesson from her elder sister to her younger sister.

Yingxiu returned to Yun Academy and stood on the window sill, wondering what she was thinking, and walked in with a pot of hot water holding the piano, "Miss, you time has passed, it's time to rest."

Baoqin helped her lift up the skirt, took off her socks, Yingxiu lifted her feet and put them in the basin, Baoqin wiped her feet with a towel, and whispered, "Mrs. I didn't mention anything about it, and I didn't care whether the young lady was feeling bad or not."

Yingxiu listened to her grievances for herself, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she pinched the bun on the head of the piano mischievously, "If she cares about me, I will still think about it, it's not good, she You don't have to pretend, and I don't have to flatter you."

Baoqin didn't understand. After drying her feet, she spread out the bed and watched her fall asleep before closing the door and going outside to watch. Seeing her coming out, Qingbi handed her the lamp in her hand and said softly, "I'm on duty today." Well, you go to the yard to look around and go back to rest early."

"Then I'll go to the kitchen to see if Ziyan is ready to eat, and I'll bring you some later." Baoqin didn't shirk, picked up the lantern, looked around the yard, and went to the kitchen...

In Nanyang Hou's Mansion, the lights of Tingfeng Courtyard where Qi Haoming lives are still on. In the main house, Qi Haoming is sitting in front of the bed, showing his legs. In front of him is a man kneeling and squatting, holding a small hammer-like utensil in his hand. He knocked lightly on his knee a few times, and when he raised his head, his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Qi Haoming's.

"It's much better than last time. It's rainy in spring. Avoid wind and dampness. Don't go outside and get more sun." Qi Zhongzhou put the hammer back into the box, helped him pull down his trouser legs, and patted him on the shoulder with a clear voice. With a burst of heartiness, "Going to Tianshan has gained a lot. In time, Fourth Uncle will definitely be able to heal your leg."

"Fourth Uncle, please don't tell my father, lest he will be disappointed again." Qi Haoming looked at his pair of unconscious legs, and there was some hope in his heart. Then he thought of something, and said, "If someone When asked, just say it’s still the same.”

Qi Zhongzhou nodded and sighed, the most peaceful place in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion was also cautious.The moonlight outside the house was just right, Qi Haoming asked the guards behind him to push him into the yard, and in the empty yard, he could see the bright moonlight hanging in the clouds, Qi Zhongzhou followed him, he was Laohou The old man came to have a son, only three years older than Qi Haoming. Qi Haoming was very smart since he was a child, and the smart old Lord Hou liked it very much at that time.

It's a pity that Qi Haoming accidentally fell into the lake when he was six years old. When he was rescued, he was already dying. He managed to save his life. The high fever persisted for several days and he lost consciousness below the thigh. Ten years later, he was still alive. She didn't even stand up, even if her elder brother and father suspected it, it could only prove that it was the servant girl's negligence.

"Zhuo Ye, help me get the qin out." Qi Haoming looked at the moonlight for a while, and asked the guards behind him to go into the room and take out the qin. This is what Yingxiu played when he went to the lake that day On that piano, under the moonlight, there was a silver light between the strings. Qi Haoming set it up on the wheelchair, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with the strings.

With a crisp sound of "ding", Qi Haoming lowered his head, under his long and slightly curly eyelashes, stared at the silver strings with clear eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stroked the strings with both hands.

A smooth tune resounded in Tingfeng Courtyard, drifting into the quiet night sky of Hou Mansion...

It was late at night in Shen's mansion, Qingbi felt a little cold, she listened to the voice in Yingxiu's room, turned around and went back to her own room, took her clothes and walked out. There was a burst of crying, and Qingbi's back felt cold in vain. She looked around, but no one passed by.

The crying sound was intermittent and mixed with the wind, and it seemed to come from the outer wall. Qingbi tightened her clothes and walked back to Yingxiu's house. The crying sound was still coming from afar, Qingbi Bi lit a lantern and held it in her hand. She bravely walked to the gate of Yun Academy, woke up the gatekeeper's mother and asked softly, "Did you hear any strange noises? I think I heard someone crying."

The doorkeeper's mother was still a little confused, and after seeing the person in front of her clearly, she said vaguely, "So it's Miss Qingbi, what's the sound, the wind blows strongly at night."

"I'm sorry to listen carefully, this is not the sound of the wind." Seeing Qingbi's serious face, the mother pricked up her ears and listened, and a burst of high and low weeping came along the wind, but there was no sound but Very clear.

Li's mother, the gatekeeper, woke up in an instant, with a hint of fear on her face, and she couldn't speak well, "Miss Qing...Qingbi, who doesn't sleep and cry in the middle of the night, this is really scary. "

Mother Li didn't say the words that were on her lips, and even tucked her body towards her.

Qingbi looked at Mama Li's huge body leaning towards her with a funny face, "I didn't do anything wrong, let's go and have a look, it would be bad if we woke up the young lady."

Mother Li's body shook, there was no dirty thing in any mansion, she was a janitor mother who was reserved and professional, and she had never done anything bad.

"Here, how about Miss Qingbi, you take the lead, I'm big, and I'll support you in the back!" Qingbi looked at her with a trembling mouth, and lifted the lantern out of the yard. In the middle of the night, Shen's mansion was silent, and the moonlight There was a bright light in the gravel path, Qingbi carried the lantern and walked towards the source of the sound, and soon came to a flower bed outside Yun Academy.

The cry was getting closer and closer, and Qingbi suddenly felt something pulling her behind her, and when she looked back, she saw that Li's mother was pulling her belt and smiled awkwardly at her, and quickly let go of her hand.

Uninterrupted cries came from the shadow of the rockery beside the flower bed. Qingbi took a few steps forward, and vaguely saw a figure huddled in the shadows. Qingbi stretched the lantern forward, and behind her, Mama Li nodded As soon as the cry came out, the person fell straight on the ground and passed out.
