That morning, the brothers and girls of Rongguo Mansion gathered again at Jia Mu's knees to celebrate.

It was a beautiful time of spring, and the accompanying maids were too lazy to stay in the east and west wings, and sat in the west verandah without restraint.

There were about twenty people gathered together, some chatting about home affairs, some tending to the flowers and plants, some teasing the parrots on the porch, and some holding dustpans and doing some needlework.

Since Yuanyang is the general manager of this courtyard, it is inevitable that he has to take care of both inside and outside.

The front foot has just given the girls almond tea and raisins; the back foot has gone to the west corridor to greet the leading maids of each courtyard.

Seeing Siqi sitting alone in the corner, looking depressed, he thought she was still concerned about her cousin's absconding.

So he stepped forward and gave her a shove, and scolded her half-truthfully: "I've always said that you are free and easy, but how come it's been so long and you still can't let go of that heartless thing?"

Si Qi denied it with a dull head: "It's not that. I told you to just treat him as dead. Besides, I've done everything I can to treat him as a dead person. Is there anything else I can't let go of?"

I asked him what happened again, but he refused to say more.

Yuanyang had no choice but to leave her in the house, so she had no choice but to complain to Siqi and go back to the house to wait on her.

Xiangling, who was nearby, had seen the strange scene in the cave and guessed that Siqi was probably not upset about his cousin, but about Laishun.

So after the mandarin duck left, he immediately came up to her with a smile, bit his ear and asked: "Sister, is it because the family refuses to agree? Is it your family or your family?"

When he heard the word 'come home', Si Qi immediately became angry. He stood up, glared at Xiang Ling, and scolded her: "Don't ask about things that have nothing to do with you in the future!"

As he said that, he randomly chose a place with a lot of people and went there angrily.

Xiangling was speechless for a moment, but she became more and more curious about what happened between the two of them.

I also thought that Sister Si Qi refused to say anything, so if there was a suitable opportunity, I might as well ask about Lai Shun.

It's a coincidence.

Si Qi casually walked into the crowd, but he heard a few maids talking about the big banquet they had held the day before coming home.

"...I heard that the banquet has been put out on the street. Darling, he is so ostentatious just after his hair growth. I don't know how much he has secretly kept."

"After all, he is an outsider. He is not as strict as our government. How can he restrain his appetite after taking power?"

"When I heard that Lai Shun offered money, the first thing I thought of was to inform the Wang family."

"It's been seven or eight years since we've been here, right? Why can't we raise her well enough?"

Everything you said to me was just pouring dirty water on everyone I was dealing with!

"What are you talking about here?!"

Si Qi listened for a long time and couldn't help but scolded: "His house doesn't face the street, how can he put the banquet on the street? Besides, as long as there are some responsibilities in the government, who can't afford to put up a dozen or two

Ten tables of banquets? You are just gossiping here, but you have the nerve to say that we have strict discipline in our house?!"

Because the second girl, Jia Yingchun, was dull and unloved, Siqi was not considered a top figure among the maids. However, she was famous for her fiery temper. Who would dare to provoke her?

Several maids were so frightened that they shut up.

Only Qingwen was among them, arguing unconvinced and angrily: "This is not what we are saying. The sisters-in-law and aunts in the house are all spreading the news. If my sister is really capable, she will stop everyone in the house!

"

Qingwen was used to being arrogant around Baoyu, even the top maid Xiren would give her a threesome.

But how can Siqi be easily provoked?

If she had seen Qingwen before, she wouldn't have spared Qingwen any favors. Now that Qingwen was slapping her, how could she be willing to show mercy?

"That's what you said!"

At that moment, she heard her sneer, and stepped forward to pull Qingwen and said: "Let's go out and ask, which sister-in-law or aunt is talking about it! If we can't find out, don't worry, let's go again.

I'm looking for Mrs. Er to comment and see if what I just said is right or wrong!"

She is tall and strong, but although Qingwen has a hot temper, she has a weak and sickly constitution.

At the moment, he was pulled by the chess player and staggered two steps. When he was about to struggle, he was tightly clamped again. For a moment, he couldn't help but look panicked.

Fortunately, this commotion first alerted the attacker, Ying'er, who was gathering together to fight.

The two of them hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, and the waiter next to him hurriedly asked Yuanyang to come out and stop him, thus temporarily putting an end to the turmoil.

When Yuanyang asked the reason clearly, he said to the maids with a straight face: "I can't control what rumors are going on outside, but whoever wants to talk nonsense in the old lady's courtyard, I have decided not to obey!"

Later, he specifically said to Qingwen: "Your sister Siqi has always been outspoken. It's not that she deliberately wants to embarrass you. Just don't argue with her."

There were some bruises on Qingwen's arms, and she was very angry with Siqi, but thinking of her unyielding and savage temper just now, she still felt timid.

Just as he was riding a mandarin duck up the stairs, Qingwen took advantage of the situation, and then she excused herself from feeling unwell and went off alone without saying a word to the attacker.

Seeing this, Xiren hurriedly rushed over to say a few words of comfort, and then called a little maid to see her off.

When Qingwen was far away, Xiren went down the corridor and pulled Siqi into a corner alone. He half complained and half reminded: "I know that my sister is grateful for Na Laishun's upright speech and cannot listen to others arranging his family, but you

What's the fuss with Qingwen about? Who doesn't know that those are our master's eyes..."

"No matter what, can it still get past you?"

Si Qi sneered: "I'm not going to listen to you, but whatever I say is reasonable, even you can't refute me face to face! Who is she? With Baoyu and the Lai family..."

"Shh!"

Xiren hurriedly covered her mouth and said with a grimace: "If you are always so unstoppable, I will never dare to talk to you again in the future!"

Siqi then lost his temper and curled his lips and said: "Forget it, forget it, I'm looking at your face, just don't talk to her anymore."

Xiren felt relieved and gave her some freshly made strips, then went to find Ying'er again to ask for advice.

Accompanied by Xiu Ju, Si Qi found a corner to sit down again, recalling the words he just heard, his expression gradually became serious.

Those few maids were just talking and talking. If the whole family was really discussing the rights and wrongs of Lai's family, and deliberately pointed out their origins in the Taiwei's mansion, the situation might be a bit serious.

And there is probably someone behind this who is adding fuel to the flames!

Thinking of this, Si Qi knew that he would call Laishun, but Yang was on leave at home and no one could deliver the message; secondly, he had previously vowed to cut off all contact with Laishun.

It has only been ten days, how can it be...

…………

That evening, Lai Shun was chatting with his godfather in the hall, when he heard a snapping sound outside.

Suspicious, he opened the door and looked into the courtyard. He saw Shuan Zhu picking up a paper ball from the ground and looking at it randomly.

Lai Shunyin laughed and scolded: "You don't know a few Chinese characters, so what are you looking at? Come and show me!"

Shuan Zhu then brought it over and held up a stone as if it were a treasure: "This stone was wrapped inside and thrown in from outside the courtyard."

Laishun asked quickly: "Then you didn't chase me out to have a look?"

Shuan Zhu was immediately stunned.

When Lai Shun saw him like this, he knew that he couldn't count on this boy. He sighed helplessly and opened the letter and took a closer look, only to find that there were many rumors written on it, which were all detrimental to Lai's family.

At the end, he said that similar words had spread in the house, so Laishun must take action early.

"You actually wrote it specifically for me?"
