Seeing what she said, Mrs. Liu had no choice but to welcome her into the palace. After Haitang made tea and served it, Mrs. Qi Jia just took a sip and then frowned and said: "Such a vulgar tea, it's a shame that Liu agreed to drink it."
Gotta get in."
"Actually, it's okay if you're used to it." Mrs. Liu just said something when she suddenly heard a "bang" sound and saw Mrs. Qi Jia throwing the tea cup on the ground for no reason, causing broken porcelain pieces to splash everywhere on the ground.
.
Haitang saw that she was doing it on purpose, and said angrily: "It's okay if Mr. Yan is not used to drinking this tea. Why throw the tea cup away?"
Qi Jia, who had been so kind just now, immediately darkened her face when she heard this. She patted the armrest and stood up and said, "Which of your eyes saw that I dropped the tea cup on purpose?"
"You..." Haitang was still about to argue, but Jingu had already grabbed her and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How could Yan Guiren deliberately drop the tea cup? It must have slipped accidentally, why don't you hurry up and clean it up?"
.”
"No need!" Saying this, Qi Jia held the palace attendant's hand and stepped over the mess, walked up to Mrs. Liu, and showed a strange smile. Before Mrs. Liu could understand the meaning behind the smile, she was already
Said: "I came to see Liu Wensheng with good intentions, but Liu Wensheng was disrespectful to me in every possible way, made rude remarks, and deliberately broke the tea cup in front of me. It was really abominable. He knelt in the courtyard with him and was not allowed to get up until sunset!"
Although Mrs. Liu had known for a long time that Mrs. Qi Jia had no good intentions when she came here, so no matter how disgusted she was, she maintained her proper attitude and never showed any disrespect. However, she never expected that Mrs. Qi Jia would not be able to make a mistake after she could not make any mistakes.
, actually confusing right and wrong in front of everyone.
She stood up slowly, met Qi Jia's eyes and said: "So many pairs of eyes here saw that the noble man broke the tea cup himself, but the noble man said that it was his concubine who did it. Don't you think this is too shameless?
"
"Besides Liu promised and your two palace attendants, who else saw it?" Qi Jia turned to ask the palace attendant beside her, "Wenlan, did you see it?"
Wen Lan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Returning to the master, I only saw that Liu promised to deliberately break the tea cup and almost burn the master."
Mrs. Qi Jia withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and said to Mrs. Liu, who had a gloomy look on her face: "What, do you hear me clearly? You broke this tea cup because you were disrespectful to me."
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Qi Jia Yanxue, don't go too far!"
"It's too much to say that Liu promised you. If you want to blame me, it's because you shouldn't have harmed me like that. Now I'm just giving it all back to you." Before Liu could speak, Qi Jia clapped her hands and said.
: "What do you think? Should you kneel down by yourself, or should I find someone to escort you to kneel down?"
Jin Gu walked up to Qi Jia and said with an apologetic smile: "My lord Yan, please do me a favor. My master is too weak to kneel for that long, so I'd better let my slave kneel on my behalf."
"What's the matter with you? Get out of here!" Qi Jia had come here deliberately to humiliate Mrs. Liu today, so how could she agree to let Jin Gu kneel on her behalf? Then she said, "What, have you thought about it?"
Ms. Liu walked to the courtyard without saying a word, and then knelt straight on the ground while Jin Gu and Haitang watched unbearably. When Qi Jia came up to her with a smile on her face, she raised her eyes and said coldly:
"I hope Mr. Yan will not regret what he did today."
Qi Jia leaned over, stared into Liu's eyes, and chuckled: "How could it be possible? If you regret it now, won't you have nothing to do in the future?" As she said that, she stretched out her hand with a golden guard.
A's hand gently patted Mrs. Liu's face, "There will be a long time to come, and I will come over often to play with you."
Under Mrs. Liu's eyes that almost burst into flames, Mrs. Qi Jia straightened up and said: "Okay, I should go back. Wenlan, you can keep a close eye here. If Liu dares to get up, give it to me."
Slap her hard on the mouth, don't hold back."
"My slave, you obey." Under Wenlan's gaze, Liu did not dare to get up. It was not until sunset that Wenlan said in a strange tone: "The time has come, Liu promises to get up."
After that, she twisted her body and left the seemingly small and dilapidated courtyard. After she left, Jin Gu and Haitang, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly helped Liu up from left to right, "Master, please be patient."
Light it up, don’t rush.”
After kneeling for a long time, Liu's legs were completely numb and she couldn't use any strength at all. Aunt and Jin helped her into the house, half dragging and half pulling her. Then Haitang knelt down and rubbed her legs vigorously.
Jin Gu made a cup of hot tea and gave it to her with both hands: "Although it is already March, the ground is still very cold. Master, please drink a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold in your body."
Mrs. Liu took the tea cup without saying a word and sipped it one mouthful after another until she drank all the tea mixed with inferior tea leaves and then put it aside. Seeing that Mrs. Liu never spoke, Jin Gu said worriedly: "Master
, I know that Mr. Yan deliberately made you suffer today, but..."
"But now that I am inferior to others, I can only endure it, right?" Faced with Liu's words, Jin Gu said helplessly: "There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome, and many things will pass if you endure it."
"Forbearance? I'm afraid that patience can't bring peace and calm. Didn't you hear what Qi Jia said just now? She deliberately wants to cause trouble. Today is just the beginning." As he spoke, his legs gradually regained consciousness, but
This makes it even more uncomfortable, because the waves of numbness are like ants crawling in the bone marrow.
Jin Gu thought for a while and said: "Then... why don't you go talk to the Queen and ask her to control Yan Guiren so that she doesn't go too far."
"Do you really think it will be useful?" Mrs. Liu's almost mocking words made Jin Gu very surprised. "Although Mr. Yan is a member of Concubine Xi, the empress is the master of the harem. If she speaks, Mr. Yan will have to listen no matter what.
point."
"Jin Gu, when did you become so confused? Qi Jia will certainly listen to the Queen's words, but how can you be sure that the Queen will definitely speak?"
This sentence left Jin Gu speechless, but Haitang said: "Master, didn't the Queen send Eunuch Ning here before? I don't think she would just sit idly by."
The sarcasm in Liu's eyes was more obvious than before, "If she really wanted to help me, she wouldn't have let Xiao Ningzi come here dressed as an eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The queen just couldn't bear to throw away my chess piece, but I
If you really place your hopes on her, it would be a big mistake."
Haitang was silent for a while and said: "Then... then the queen is unreliable, so she has to let Yan Guiren bully the master? This time she made the master kneel for a long time, and I don't know what vicious methods she will come up with next time. Maybe.
……maybe……"
Ms. Liu glanced at her coldly and said, "Maybe she will try to take my life, right?"
