Chapter 317 Gold Foil
The mother and daughter sang the same tune, either saying that Hu Xin'er was unlucky for her parents or that she was unfaithful to her husband!
Hu Xin'er would not tolerate this humiliation: "Yunqiu, catch them!"
Liu Qingyi rolled his eyes: "With her being a little maid, I think you..."
Before they could finish their words, the two of them were restrained by Yun Qiu.
I'm sorry, ever since the Lu family's misfortune, all the first-class servants in the Lu family are skilled in martial arts!
Hu Xiner simply picked up the bucket of water next to her and poured it heavily on the mother and daughter.
"Ah!!" The scream broke the apparent calmness of the entire Liu Mansion.
Hu Xin'er clapped her hands and said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, I come from a humble family, so I'm a simple person, and I really value reciprocity!"
Although Liu Zhi and her daughter did not behave in a gentlemanly manner on a daily basis, they both considered themselves to be daughters of aristocratic families and daughters of wealthy families. How could they have ever suffered such humiliation?
They made people so angry that they trembled all over, and Liu Qingyi even wanted to pounce on them and beat them up.
As the two sides were confronting each other, Old Master Liu hurried over and asked, "What are you doing?"
In the courtyard, two or three maids from Qingfeng Garden were kneeling and shivering, while Hu Xiner and Liu Zhi, mother and daughter, were both soaked in wet clothes and looked miserable.
The atmosphere between them was even more tense.
Old Master Liu quickly came to Hu Xin'er on crutches: "Xin'er, are you okay? Housekeeper, go get the doctor!"
Hu Xiner saw from the corner of her eye that Liu Qingyi's mouth pursed, as if he was about to cry.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If she had just arrived in the capital, she might have been subdued by this trick, but now she has experienced the higher level of green tea technique!
Isn't it just playing the victim and pretending to be weak? Who can't do that?
Liu Qingyi's eyes turned red, and Liu Zhi pinched his daughter hard to fuel her tears.
However, Hu Xin'er got there first and burst into tears: "Wuwuwu - Grandfather -"
Liu Qingyi's tears were still in her eyes, and she stood there with her mouth open.
How could this village woman be so shameless? She thought angrily, as expected, a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter, not worthy of being on the stage, and she only knows how to use such means to win favor!
Her thoughts were completely written on her face. Hu Xin'er didn't even bother to pay attention to her. Wasn't she the one who used despicable means first?
Everything Hu Xiner did was just to treat others in their own way!
At this time, the second old lady and Chen heard the noise and hurried over.
The second old lady saw this scene and immediately cursed Liu Zhi: "If you let anything happen to my granddaughter, I will make you pay!"
Chen no longer cared about her dignified image and trotted over to Hu Xin'er's side, her face filled with anxiety and concern. "What's wrong? Hurry up, go to the inner room and change your clothes. What if you catch a cold?"
"Aunt!" Hu Xiner called out sincerely. Although her tears were fake, her grievance was real.
What the hell is this Liu Mansion?
Chen was so distressed: "Let's go, let's not interact with the people from the big house. Don't cry first, your aunt will take you to change your clothes."
But Hu Xiner couldn't leave yet. If she left, wouldn't the matter be over?
Old Master Liu was also somewhat bewildered and asked, "Xin'er, what happened? Did they bully you?"
Hu Xin'er said aggrievedly, "I said I knew my grandmother missed her, so I specially painted a portrait of my mother to show my filial piety, but it was destroyed."
"What?!" The second old lady didn't expect that this matter was related to herself. Only then did she notice the portrait next to Hu Xiner's hand.
The portrait was a little blurry at this time, but the second old lady recognized her at a glance. This was the daughter she had been thinking about day and night!
She looked at the portrait, took it with trembling hands, and couldn't help crying sadly: "My son, my daughter!"
She held the portrait in her arms, and scenes from the past appeared in her eyes. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she carefully handed it to the servant beside her.
"You! You guys!" She pointed at Liu Zhi and Liu Qingyi with infinite sorrow, "Don't you all call yourselves noble ladies? Why do you have to go against us?"
At this time, the old lady came out holding her head. Her head had just been hit by the old man's crutch. She had just applied medicine and wrapped it with gauze.
The second old lady saw her and immediately rushed over as if she had seen an enemy, grabbing her collar and demanding, "Tell me, why! Why did you destroy my only hope?"
The old lady was so dazzled that she saw stars and cried out, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She pushed hard, and the second old lady staggered. Old Master Liu couldn't bear to see this, so he reached out to hold her.
"Grandpa, you have to make the decision for our second wife." The second old lady cried as if she had seen a savior, "Our second wife is indeed a concubine's child. We can tolerate anything on weekdays, but Yan Chuo and Xin'er are also your grandchildren. Seeing them suffer with me, it hurts my heart!"
The eldest old lady had already been in a bad place after the previous incident, and with this incident, Old Master Liu was even more angry: "What do you mean by legitimate or illegitimate? You are the second old lady, she is the eldest old lady, and I am just an old man. What's the difference between us?"
On the surface, he was accusing the second old lady of talking nonsense, but everyone knew who he was actually scolding.
Liu Qingyi's eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandfather, how could you just listen to this woman and confuse right and wrong like this!"
Old Master Liu asked angrily, "The elders are talking, and you, an unmarried woman, interrupt them at will. Is this the upbringing your mother and grandmother taught you?!"
Liu Qing fell silent, but still looked unconvinced.
Seeing that the second old lady was so powerful in fighting, Hu Xiner pretended to say a few words.
Chen blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. I forgot to take you in to change clothes."
The two of them left in a hurry.
When Old Master Liu saw that Hu Xin'er had suffered such a great injustice on the first day she came, he felt embarrassed on the one hand, and on the other hand he blamed himself and felt sorry for Hu Xin'er.
He said coldly, "Since the old lady didn't discipline me well, I'll compensate Xin'er with a hundred sheets of gold foil paper, ten wolf-hair brushes, and an agarwood inkstone!"
When the question of money came up, the old lady immediately started crying poor: "Master, we don't have any of these things in our warehouse anymore!"
"Who told you to take it out of the mansion's treasury?" Old Master Liu paused with his cane. "Go buy these things yourselves and then personally deliver them to Lan Xin Garden!"
These things were worth hundreds of gold coins in total. The old lady almost fainted when she heard this: "No! No way!"
