155, the maidservant on behalf of the marriage seven
The room fell silent, and everyone looked at the two people in front of them in surprise.
Although Yao Rouwan's sarcasm was a bit excessive, it was also very surprising for the newlyweds to slap her in front of everyone. Just like Chu Yunli uncovering her head that day, it was something new that had not been heard for many years.
"You dare to hit me?" Yao Rouwan covered her face, full of surprise and anger.
After beating the person, Xu Yaner actually regretted it, but when he met her aggressive gaze, he immediately became angrier than her, "What's wrong with beating you? You're talking nonsense, can't I hit you?"
Yao Rouwan asked bluntly, "Am I talking nonsense? If you hadn't shamelessly seduced your second cousin, how could you be the bride today?"
"If it's not me, could it be you?" Xu Yan'er looked her up and down and said that a woman's intuition is very accurate. This girl was rude to her from the moment she came in. The two of them didn't know each other very well before. Such a big hostility can't be expected from her.
He has no interest in Qin Qiyi, and he doesn't even believe in scammers.
Hearing this question, Yao Rouwan felt a little uncomfortable, "At least I'm not like you. I still miss someone else after getting engaged, and I have the nerve to run away from the engagement..."
"Stop talking." Chu Yunli interrupted her eloquence. Xu Yan'er was unforgiving. If she continued talking, she would start fighting again.
"We'll talk about it later if we have anything to do. It's a grand day for the Duke of Guo, so we can't make such a fuss."
After hearing this, Xu Yan'er endured her anger and sneered, "You deliberately brought them to me on my big day. Who knows what you have in mind?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows. She did not have any good intentions, but Yao Rouwan was not like this. She looked at the group of frightened little girls beside her and said, "You should go to the garden for a walk."
A group of little girls turned around and ran away. After they went out, Chu Yunli turned around and said, "I am your sister-in-law. It is completely a good intention to bring them here to chat with you. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. Why do you think I have no good intentions?"
"
"Sister-in-law?" Xu Yan'er's eyes were heavy. It was only then that she remembered that her second-class girl would be her sister-in-law in the future. Not only that, she would also be the wife of the crown prince and the future wife of the Duke of the country.
And she herself is just the second wife. She has been pampered since she was a child. She was born in a noble family. All the elders in the uncle's house dote on her. No one has ever made her angry. She is sincere to Qin Qiyi and has never thought so much. Now that she is here,
After a while, she vaguely felt that identity might also be important.
Chu Yunli walked to the table and looked at the snacks on the table. She could vaguely see the red beans inside. Xu Yaner usually liked salty snacks with red beans. Qin Qiyi must have specially prepared this for her.
"That's right." Chu Yunli sat down, reached out and picked up a piece and took a bite. It was indeed a salty red bean snack. She couldn't get used to it, so she finished it reluctantly. She clapped her hands and stood up, "It's getting late. My brothers and sisters should have a good rest. Don't worry.
I forgot to serve tea tomorrow morning."
Xu Yaner's face was very ugly. She knew that probably no one in the Liguo Palace liked her except Qin Qiyi. When it came to serving tea, it was okay to be embarrassed by the elders. After all, I heard that many newlyweds would be embarrassed when serving tea, but facing
A girl saluted, she was the eldest sister-in-law, and she might have to kneel down when the time came... Her hands were shaking with anger.
Seeing her swaggering away, Xu Yaner was filled with hatred and waved away the porcelain bottle at hand.
Then the sound of broken porcelain on the ground was heard. Chu Yunli, who had just walked into the yard, heard it and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She couldn't bear it. I wonder if the porcelain bottle Yu prepared for her is enough?
The angrier she became, the happier Chu Yunli became. When she went to the front yard to see off the guests, her smile became even more perfect.
Qin Shao's poison was completely cured. It was also because of this that one of the imperial envoys who guarded the safety of Kyoto led troops to suppress the riots that day after he heard about the riots by the victims outside the city.
Speaking of the victims, many people in the capital recently went to the outside of the city to build sheds to cook porridge to provide relief. Naturally, the Duke's Mansion also had sheds. Under such circumstances, it would be outrageous for Chu Yunli to build a shed alone. So, she took five thousand taels.
I gave the banknote to Mr. Yao as my wish. I also ordered people to buy quilts and thick clothes, just waiting for the weather to cool down before sending them out.
The next morning, Duke Li deliberately did not leave, and so did Qin Shao, only waiting for the newcomers to come and serve tea.
Seeing that the sun was getting higher outside, the newlyweds had not yet arrived. Not to mention the expressions on the faces of Mrs. Yao and the old lady, even Duke Li was not very happy. The smile on Aunt Yue's face gradually became forced, privately.
There were people rushing downstairs, and groups of people quietly exited, but still no one was seen coming.
Seeing the sun getting higher, Qin Shao stood up and said, "I have some errands over there. I'd better make up for the tea later." After saying that, he left.
Aunt Yue's face was full of anxiety, and she wanted to stop her, but she didn't look at her at all, so she had to watch the person leave.
Duke Li Guo was slightly dissatisfied, but he asked Aunt Yue, "What's going on?"
Aunt Yue said hurriedly, "It should be coming soon."
The old lady stood up with the help of her grandma, "I got up too early and am not very energetic. I have to go back and rest. It's just a cup of tea. I can replenish it anytime."
Aunt Yue chased her to the door, but still couldn't save her.
The corner of Yao's mouth curled up slightly, and she picked up the tea cup to hide the smile on her lips, "Maybe they don't want to come and serve tea. We are not serious elders..."
"Madam, what you said is so heartbreaking." Aunt Yue looked at Duke Li with a solemn expression, "Master Guo, Qi Yi is usually the most obedient child. For something as important as serving tea, he must be
Something has delayed me. If everything went well, I would have been here long ago..."
Mrs. Yao sneered, but the aunt beside her said, "Second Young Master has been at home every day for the past few days, so what can he do to delay it? It's just for pleasure..."
"Mommy!" Duke Li Guo warned, and then looked at Yao, "The people around you are too ungrateful. Your daughter-in-law is still here. What does it look like to say such a thing?"
Yao sneered, stood up and said, "It's just a cup of tea from the concubine's wife. After waiting for so long without seeing anyone, you scolded me. It's my fault. Well, it doesn't matter if you don't drink the tea."
"
As he stood up and left, Mr. Li Guo's face became increasingly ugly, "Just discussing the matter."
Yao turned around and said, "Then why did you choose today to make things difficult for me? You just want to support me. If you want to sing an opera, I don't want to accompany you."
By the time he finished speaking, he was already out the door.
Chu Yunli was also thinking about finding a reason to leave. She didn't insist on drinking this cup of tea, but she saw a pair of men in bright red clothes coming in from the corridor outside the door.
Aunt Yue looked happy and said, "Here we come."
Then, before the joy on her face bloomed, she was immediately stunned, "What's going on?"
This was what Chu Yunli was curious about. On Qin Qiyi's face and neck, there were several bloody channels scratched by fingernails. It could be seen that they were covered up with makeup, but they were still very clear and could be seen from a long distance, at least for more than a dozen people.
Blood stains.
Qin Qiyi was a little embarrassed and glanced at Xu Yan'er, "A cat came into the house last night. When I went to chase it away, the cat was too fierce."
Xu Yan'er looked serious and didn't even look at him.
Chu Yunli couldn't help laughing. It was too easy to guess who the cat was. Aunt Yue's face dropped at that moment. "Where is the cat? Have you caught it?"
Qin Qiyi coughed in embarrassment, "Let it run away. Mom, it's more important to serve tea."
The futon was placed in front of the Duke of Guo. Seeing that the old lady and the Yao family were not in the room, Qin Qiyi's expression became uglier, so Xu Yaner had no worries, "Where are my grandmother and mother?"
There was silence in the room, and no one answered. In fact, apart from the Duke, the only one who had waited until this moment was Chu Yunli.
In the silence, Xu Yaner asked again, "Is it because I, as a newcomer, am not worthy of serving them tea?"
Duke Li Guo became impatient, "I don't even know what time it is outside. Which new family is as slow as you? Do you want to serve tea? I'm still busy over there."
Looking very impatient.
Aunt Yue hurriedly winked at the two of them. Qin Qiyi took the lead in kneeling down to Duke Li and took the tea from the maid next to him, "Dad, drink tea."
Duke Li took it, and then Xu Yaner. The last time Chu Yunli served tea, Duke Li was very cold. This time, it was even less so. He actually took it, took a sip, put the red seal on it, got up and left.
.
Xu Yaner's eyes suddenly turned red, and Qin Qiyi pulled her to Aunt Yue.
Aunt Yue felt unhappy, what a cat, the daughter-in-law here is too tough, she should have talked about it. But she is just an aunt, it is not easy to scold her. If Yao was here, a few words of scolding would be fine, but then she thought of Yao's
So they left because they came too late and didn't look good at the time. After taking Xu Yan'er's tea, they couldn't help but said, "You guys live a good life from now on. If you have anything to say, please say it. Don't touch your face, especially your face. This
Does it look good when you go out?”
Xu Yaner bit her lip and glared at Qin Qiyi, feeling unspeakably sad and angry.
Not only was Qin Qiyi not angry, he also smiled at her and squeezed her hand, clearly trying to please her.
Aunt Yue was so angry that she fell back. This was in front of her. When she wanted to talk again, Xu Yaner ignored her and came to Chu Yunli.
"Sister-in-law, drink tea." Aunt Youyue was waiting to make things difficult for her. She ran to Chu Yunli purely because she wanted to hide. It didn't seem that difficult to call her sister-in-law.
Chu Yunli took it, gave her a pair of bracelets with a smile, and said, "I am the eldest sister-in-law. They say that a eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. You can come to me if you need anything in the future." Whether I can help or not is another matter.
With a preaching tone, a trace of disgust flashed in Xu Yan'er's eyes, especially when she saw the pair of bracelets that were supposed to be hers, she felt even more aggrieved. She suddenly discovered that she disliked everyone in this family except Qin Qiyi.
Watching the newlyweds leave, Aunt Yue was so angry that her chest heaved and she ordered, "Kick out all the cats in the house. Don't keep any of them. If you don't know how to raise them, don't raise them at all."
Chu Yunli lowered her eyes, got up and went back to her room.
In the afternoon, she went to the main courtyard.
After entering the house for so many days, she has been taking care of Qin Shao. She has put off greetings in the morning and evening. Qin Shao was only reinstated two days ago. She was supposed to greet Qin Shao, but these days Yao has been busy preparing for happy events. Speaking of which, this is still
She greeted her for the first time in a month since she came in.
After the nun at the door informed her, she quickly came out and asked her to come in.
When Chu Yunli came in, Mrs. Yao was pruning flowers in front of the window. It was late autumn, and there were actually no flowers to prune, but a bouquet of flowers was gradually taking shape under her hands. She looked left and right, then turned around and asked, "What other places do you think?
Need to be cut?”
Some people think that pruning flower branches is an elegant thing. Many ladies know it. Chu Yunli can't do it anymore. She has come here so many times and she has already learned it. She took the scissors and cut two branches. Suddenly she felt that the whole vase of flowers was quite beautiful.
The flavor makes me feel good-looking for no reason.
Seeing this, Mrs. Yao looked around at the vase, and then looked at Chu Yunli with a bit more satisfaction in her eyes, "Have you eaten? Come with me?"
Chu Yunli smiled and agreed, and Mrs. Yao ordered the maid to prepare the meal. Then she remembered something and said, "Go and invite the second young lady to come over."
Xu Yaner came very quickly over there. When he entered the door, he was a little surprised to see Chu Yunli. He quickly calmed down, said hello politely, and personally served tea to Mr. Yao.
Yao didn't feel embarrassed and ordered the maid to serve the dishes. The daughter-in-law of the moment had to serve her mother-in-law, so Chu Yunli and Xu Yaner stood on one side, preparing to serve Yao.
When the food was served, Chu Yunli was about to bring some water for Yao to rinse her mouth, but she heard her say, "Die'er, you've been working hard taking care of Shao'er recently, please sit down and eat quickly."
Xu Yaner went to get the handkerchief, originally waiting for Yao to rinse her mouth and wipe her mouth. When she heard this, she suddenly froze. Looking at her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were sitting together and talking with a smile, she felt for a moment as if she was a serving girl.
