Chapter 51 Youning’s mother speaks so gently!
"Huo Qingchen! What are you doing?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out. The person who spoke was none other than Huo Yun'an, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had been appointed a general at a young age.
If it were any other time, seeing Huo Yunan’s cold face, Huo Qingchen would have admitted his mistake long ago.
But today he is right!
Huo Qingchen walked over with his head held high. "Brother! I'm catching the bad guy! It was this maid who pushed Youning into the pond just now! I saw it clearly! She took advantage of the chaos and ran away, but I chased her and tied her up!"
As he spoke, an extremely proud expression appeared on his face, waiting for his elder brother's praise.
Huo Yun'an simply looked at Huo Qingchen with calm eyes, "Did you see clearly? Don't wrongly accuse a good person."
Being doubted by his own eldest brother in front of so many people, Huo Qingchen's face instantly turned red with anger, "Of course I saw it clearly! I saw it very clearly! I saw it with both eyes!"
Yu Youning also raised her hand at this time, "Before I fell, I grabbed her and tore off a piece of her skirt!"
Yu Youning took out a piece of cloth from his arms.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tingwan immediately walked forward with the cloth and compared it with the clothes on the tied woman. It was indeed a perfect fit!
When Mrs. Su Wang saw this, she was shocked and angry, and her eyebrows were twitching wildly.
This maid is so bold!
Not only did he want to kill Yu Youning, he even implicated the prince.
If something happens to the prince at the Su family today, the Su family will be completely finished.
Su Wangshi gnashed her teeth in hatred and asked, "Tell me, why did you want to harm Youning?"
Su Miaoyun stared at the woman for a long time, always feeling that something was wrong. Now she finally remembered what was wrong.
"Mother, this isn't our maid! The clothes she's wearing aren't even ours!"
Su Miaoyun's words woke the dreamer up!
Mrs. Su Wang was so angry that she didn't notice this at all.
After taking a closer look, he realized that the clothes the other person was wearing were indeed not those worn by the Su family's maids.
The maids in the Su family all wore the same clothes, all blue, but the embroidery on them would be different because of their different ranks.
But the person in front of me is clearly wearing pink clothes!
Mrs. Su Wang breathed a sigh of relief. This matter had little to do with the Su family anymore!
But the question should still be asked.
"Someone, come forward and lift up her hair to see whose house she belongs to."
Everyone was curious and nervous, afraid that they would get involved in this matter.
As the messy hair was brushed away from the woman's face, many ladies breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Lin Siqiong's face turned extremely pale.
Yu Tingwan also stared at Lin Siqiong with a cold look in his eyes. Even his usually delicate appearance seemed to have a bit more fierceness at this moment.
"Isn't this your maid Bai Shuang?"
The Marquis's wife also looked at Lin Siqiong, her face full of confusion and astonishment, "Siqiong, what's going on?"
Lin Siqiong's face was filled with panic and helplessness. "Mother, sister, I don't know what's going on!"
She had just said this when she was about to cry and hurriedly looked at Bai Shuang.
"Bai Shuang, why is it you? Why did you push You Ning into this? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Without waiting for Bai Shuang to speak, Lin Siqiong continued, "How dare you, a servant girl, push the legitimate granddaughter of the Yong'an Marquisate into trouble? If anything happens to Youning and the Crown Prince, even the lives of your entire family combined wouldn't be enough to pay for it! You're truly foolish!"
Lin Siqiong spoke earnestly and deeply.
After hearing this, Bai Shuang's body trembled slightly.
"It was done by the servant."
Bai Shuang spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I just can't stand Yu Youning. She's just a country girl who knows nothing. Just because she has the blood of the Lin family, she outshines the young lady as soon as she returns to the mansion."
"Not only has she stolen the favor of the Marquis and his wife, she's even so close to the Crown Prince. She's so shameless at such a young age! I pushed her into the water on purpose, intending to drown her! She's a disaster!"
"All of this was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with my family. Miss, please consider my service to you and spare my family! I am willing to die as an apology!"
After Bai Shuang finished speaking, she closed her eyes tightly, as if she had given up struggling.
Lin Siqiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Yu Tingwan with tears in her eyes, "Sister, this is all my fault. Bai Shuang has served me for a long time and has always been loyal to me, but I didn't expect that she would be so paranoid and make the wrong decision for a moment.
Fortunately, Youning knew how to swim, so no disaster happened. But in the final analysis, it was my sister's fault for not disciplining the servants well. If you want to blame someone, blame me!"
The Marquis’s wife quickly grabbed Lin Siqiong’s hand and subconsciously defended her, “How can you be blamed for this? It’s obviously because of this maid’s stubbornness that she did such a thing.”
As she spoke, the Marquis's wife looked at Yu Tingwan and said, "Tingwan, don't worry. I will definitely stand up for Youning. Such a daring slave girl will be beaten to death when I get home. But this matter has nothing to do with Siqiong. Don't let this matter cause any rift between you and Siqiong."
Although you are not biological sisters, one of you is my biological child and the other grew up under my wing. I just hope that you can live in harmony and that our family will be well."
Yu Tingwan's expression was indifferent, with little expression on her face and no ups and downs in her voice. "Since mother has said so, can you please hand this maid over to me?"
"What's the big deal?" The Marquis's wife waved her hand. "I'll leave it to you when we get back. You can handle it!"
"In that case, thank you very much, mother."
Yu Tingwan responded softly, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Siqiong.
Lin Siqiong felt a chill down her spine when she saw such a look, but she gritted her teeth and held on, not wanting to avoid Yu Tingwan's sight.
Can't dodge!
If you avoid it at this time, you will feel really guilty!
Yu Tingwan turned her gaze away and looked at Madam Hou, "Mother, Youning is soaked. I will take her back first."
Mrs. Su Wang hurriedly said, "It will take time to go back. Why don't we find some of Miaoyun's old clothes to change into first?"
Yu Tingwan didn't refuse, "Thank you, ma'am!"
Mrs. Su Wang hurriedly asked the servants to take Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning to change clothes, and also hurriedly arranged for someone to take Chu Huaixu to change clothes.
The Su family's birthday party started happily but ended so dramatically, which is really sad.
But since something like this has happened, they naturally can no longer chat and talk as if nothing has happened, and many people have offered to leave.
Soon, apart from the people of the Su family, there were only people from the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the Huo Qingchen brothers.
Lin Siqiong looked at Huo Qingchen and said, "Second Young Master has been of great help today. I will have someone send some gifts to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion later."
"I'm helping Youning! Youning will thank me!"
Huo Qingchen's eyes sparkled.
He has helped Youning so much, Youning will definitely be willing to give him acupuncture now, right?
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, ran faster, and had more strength, so the maid didn't take the opportunity to escape.
Hearing Huo Qingchen's answer, Lin Siqiong almost couldn't hold on to the smile on her face, but she still said, "Second Young Master has worked hard, why don't you hand him over to me!"
"No!" Huo Qingchen immediately refused.
Just now, when Youning's mother passed by him, she whispered to him, asking him to keep an eye on the maid for a while longer and not hand her over to anyone else. He had already agreed and absolutely could not go back on his word.
Unable to explain clearly to Huo Qingchen, Lin Siqiong could only go to Huo Yun'an, "Prince, the Second Young Master is also tired today. Why don't you take him back first! After the family affairs are settled, I will definitely send Youning to the mansion with a generous gift to thank the Second Young Master."
Huo Yun'an only glanced at Lin Siqiong casually, which made Lin Siqiong jump with fear and subconsciously take a step back.
How could Huo Yun'an, who was so young, have such a terrifying look in his eyes?
No wonder he was appointed a general at such a young age. I wonder how many lives he has taken and how violent he is.
"Why are you so anxious to get rid of him?" Huo Yun'an asked coldly, "Could it be that because of the relationship between master and servant, you want to take this opportunity to quietly release him?"
"I'm not... I didn't..."
The Marquis's wife glanced at Lin Siqiong disapprovingly, "Siqiong, I know you're soft-hearted and good-tempered, but you have to consider the situation. This maid is so vicious that she actually wants Youning's life and has even implicated the Crown Prince. She must not be allowed to stay!"
I just promised to hand her over to Ting Wan to deal with her, so you don't have to worry about it. Don't let this little maid ruin the harmony between you two sisters."
Lin Siqiong almost couldn't breathe when she heard this.
How could she just let it go?!
Although she had just threatened her with Bai Shuang's family, she would not be at peace until Bai Shuang died!
If Bai Shuang was really taken away by Yu Tingwan, she might say something she shouldn't. By then...
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Yu Tingwan coming back with Yu Youning.
The mother and daughter held hands and soon came closer.
Yu Tingwan took the rope from Huo Qingchen's hand and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Huo Qingchen felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, and his cheeks turned a little red.
Youning's mother speaks so gently!
She looks good when she smiles!
His mother had also been to the battlefield. She had a quick temper and spoke with great vigor. She had never been so gentle before.
I really envy Youning!
"No need to thank me!" Huo Qingchen waved his hands repeatedly, "This is what I should do."
"I'll prepare some thank-you gifts and let Youning bring them to you." Yu Tingwan said again.
Huo Qingchen didn't refuse this time, but responded with a blushing face, "Thank you!"
Yu Tingwan pulled the rope in her hand vigorously, lifting Bai Shuang from the ground, and said to Madam Hou, "Mother, we have disturbed you for so long, let's go back!"
After leaving the Su family, Yu Tingwan was about to take Bai Shuang to his own carriage.
Lin Siqiong hesitated for a moment, but stepped forward to stop her. "Sister, this maid is so dirty and messy. If she sits with you and Youning, it will get you both dirty. Why not let her ride in my carriage and go back?"
Yu Youning tilted her head and looked at Lin Siqiong with puzzled eyes, "Auntie, aren't you worried about getting your clothes dirty?"
