Chapter 331 The Joy of Recognizing Relatives
Faced with the old lady's questioning, Hu Xin'er was stunned at first, then revealed a look of grievance: "Didn't you see it?"
She lowered her head and said slowly, "I wanted to go over there after I picked up the kite, but I realized I forgot to bring the ladder, so I got stuck here."
In fact, she did forget the ladder outside.
At that time, she was about to jump off the eaves, and Yin Li suddenly confessed her love to her, so she forgot to put away the ladder.
But now, this ladder placed outside has become her tool to prove her innocence.
After all, who would sneak into a forbidden area and leave the tools of crime outside?
The old lady didn't care about that. She sneered briefly and said meaningfully, "Whatever you say, it's true. But I absolutely cannot avoid this beating today!"
After saying this, she winked at the old lady next to her.
The old lady actually pulled out a bamboo ruler from behind her!
Hu Xiner had heard that all punishments in ancient times were very particular, especially beatings such as rulers and boards.
If one intends to favor the punished person, he can deliberately make the ruler make a loud noise when hitting the person, but it will not hurt.
If someone intends to harm someone, they can make the sound of the beating very heavy and muffled, but in fact the force is so great that it can break the person's skin and flesh.
If the force is used skillfully, it can even break the flesh inside, while the surface looks fine.
Old Master Liu kept looking at the two of them with a sullen face, wondering what he was thinking.
Obviously, he had not completely dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Seeing that Old Master Liu did not stand up this time, the eldest lady and the old nanny became even more arrogant.
"Hu Xin'er, Hu Xin'er, if you hadn't sought death, I really wouldn't have found the chance to deal with you!" The old lady thought secretly.
This forbidden area was personally designated by Old Master Liu. Over the years, anyone who entered was punished without exception, even if it was not intentional.
This shows how important it is in Old Master Liu's heart.
In the eyes of the old lady, Hu Xiner was doomed.
But who is Hu Xin'er? She grew up watching Qiong Yao dramas and even studied tea art.
She was very familiar with the scene of an old lady walking towards her with a weapon in her hand!
So, she pretended to tremble with fear, but still stretched out her hand and said in a tearful voice, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to barge in... Since I made a mistake, I am willing to accept the punishment!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the servants all showed sympathetic expressions.
They originally thought that the young lady would have a fight with the old lady.
But I didn't expect that Hu Xin'er was so understanding and willing to be punished even though she was scared to this extent!
People naturally sympathize with the weak.
For a moment, condemning eyes were cast at the old lady.
Hu Xiner is still pregnant!
Alas, she is indeed not her own granddaughter. I never thought that the old lady who looks normal in normal times is actually such a person behind the scenes.
Old Master Liu finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Hu Xiner's attitude aroused his heartache.
"I'm really getting old and confused," he thought to himself, "Xin'er is so well-behaved and never takes the initiative to cause trouble, how could she be involved with the basement?"
The eldest old lady was just in the excitement of being able to teach Hu Xin'er a lesson, but she heard Old Master Liu say, "Stop!"
Hu Xiner made a gesture in her heart, it seems that she can successfully escape this time!
After returning home, the second old lady kept a close eye on Hu Xiner, so she never found a chance to go to the forbidden area again.
Besides, that place was rather eerie, and she didn't really dare to go there, so she had to find another opportunity and pass the time by painting at home.
One day, she was having tea with the Second Old Lady when a servant suddenly ran in in a panic: "Second Old Lady, Young Miss, the Crown Prince and the Princess have arrived! The old master wants you to come over quickly."
What? It's fine if the princess comes alone, but why did she bring the crown prince along?
Hu Xiner was very surprised. She straightened her hairpins and skirt and went out to greet them. Fortunately, Yun Qiu was holding a grudge in her heart and deliberately made her dress very conspicuously on weekdays in order to achieve the purpose of angering the second wife to death.
Therefore, if she walked out in her current outfit, it would not be considered a disgrace to the Liu family.
Normally, when the eldest princess travels alone, it is already a huge event.
Today, the prince was also going with them. When Hu Xiner arrived at the front yard, she saw that the Liu family's gate was surrounded by people.
Two people slowly got down from the magnificent carriage.
According to the rules, all members of the Liu family must perform the kneeling ceremony.
Hu Xin'er was about to follow the luggage when she heard a familiar voice: "Xin'er is pregnant, so there's no need to perform the formalities!"
It was the eldest princess who spoke.
Hu Xiner smiled and winked at the princess: "Thank you very much, Princess!"
These few ordinary words caused the Liu family members kneeling on the ground to look at them sideways.
Because the familiarity between Hu Xiner and the eldest princess's words could not be concealed.
The prince smiled kindly at Hu Xin'er, which changed the way everyone looked at Hu Xin'er.
Then, the prince said to everyone in the Liu family, "Please stand up quickly."
After everyone stood up, he smiled and said, "I just heard that the Liu family found their young lady, so I came here with the eldest princess. I hope you can forgive me for coming here so hastily!"
"I didn't know that the Crown Prince would come. I'm sorry for being rude!" Lord Liu smiled politely.
The eldest princess would occasionally take her image into consideration in front of outsiders. She would look dignified, with a half-smile on the corners of her lips, and she looked very noble.
Hu Xin'er came up to her and whispered, "You're here, so why is there such a big scene? Why are there so many carriages outside?"
"Of course, to celebrate your reunion, we've prepared gifts for everyone." The eldest princess raised an eyebrow. "How is it, woman? Are you satisfied with what you see?"
As soon as she raised her hand, palace maids and eunuchs came in carrying all kinds of things. The scene was very spectacular.
"Have you been rewatching 'The Domineering Prince and His Lovely Guard' a lot recently?" Hu Xin'er held her forehead with her hand.
As soon as the eldest princess opened her mouth, all the nobleness, beauty and dignity had nothing to do with her.
At this time, the Liu family looked at the gifts that were pouring in like water and couldn't help but be shocked.
Although the Liu family was a wealthy family, most of their money was spent on calligraphy, paintings and antiques. The women in the family did not go out often and had little money for shopping.
Now, seeing that the eldest princess had brought so many luxurious gifts on her first visit, they were all extremely surprised.
Liu Qingyi was completely immersed in the joy of being rich, while Liu Zhihe and the old lady couldn't help but reveal greed on their faces.
When Hu Xiner saw the prince, she felt a chill down her spine.
What is he doing here for no reason?
