…
Seeing that the eyes of the dozen or so guests around her were fixed on her, Liu suddenly changed her ferocious look.
Her eyes were vicious, but she acted like a victim, and said angrily: "What a sharp-tongued little girl, you are only half grown up, but you have already learned the skill of slandering people!"
The troupe was giving face to the Qin family. Jiang Rao's words made Liu think of Qin Qingshan's background.
It was because this family usually kept a low profile and had been away from Jinling for too long that she had forgotten what a thriving tree Qin Qingshan's family was leaning against.
But even though it was embarrassing, she had her own way to resolve what happened today.
She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Rao with hatred, "You came up and said I wanted to slander your mother. I had pity on you. I wanted to come over to see if your mother was busy and to help, but people misunderstood me as smiling but hiding a dagger."
She raised her hand slightly, and it seemed as if she was wiping away the tears from her eyes, but her voice was slightly raised, and she deliberately said in a loud voice: "It's a pity that I have been busy in the temple for nearly a month for the reputation of the entire Ning'an Marquis's Mansion, and now I have to suffer such slander when I come back. What kind of life is this for me!"
It's just that black is said to be white and white is smeared as black.
With her reputation and status in the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion and in Jinling, there will always be some people who believe what she says.
She looked at the figures gathering around her and just wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.
But if she wanted to leave, she had to let others know that she was leaving on her own accord, not because she felt guilty or anything else.
She put down her sleeves that were pretending to wipe her tears, looked down at Jiang Rao, snorted coldly and said, "Since you are young, I won't bother with you today."
A magnanimous look.
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.
"Puh!" Ming Shao spat at Liu's back, "Puh!"
Ming Shao couldn't speak, and she didn't dare to rush forward and hit Liu's face without Jiang Rao's order. She was afraid that she would get into trouble with Jiang Rao if she was too impulsive. She stamped her feet in anger and said to Liu's back: "I heard everything the Madam said just now. Don't think of framing my girl."
Upon hearing this, Liu slowed down her pace.
But she thought about the scene just now. Within ten steps behind her, there were only Jiang Rao and her maid.
Just ten steps away, what could the guests who had arrived early in the yard hear?
As long as they heard nothing, it would be easy to confuse right and wrong.
once
She insisted that it was Jiang Rao who was throwing dirty water on her, and no one knew what she really said.
She stopped and looked at Ming Shao sharply, then returned to Ming Shao and whispered in her ear, "Don't think you're the only servant who heard it. The maids around me also have ears."
The maid behind Liu didn't dare to say a word, looking as if she was under Liu's control.
Ming Shao was so angry that her face turned red.
Jiang Rao's eyes were filled with a clear coldness.
She gradually understood why the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion in her dream eventually fell into such decline.
In the dream, her uncle inherited the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion, and Liu became the eldest lady in the mansion.
Her father took into account the brotherhood, and even though he had the intention and ability to inherit the family business, he handed over the Ning'an Marquis' Mansion to his eldest brother.
However, Liu regarded her father and her whole family as thorns in her side.
They are like frogs at the bottom of a well, only focusing on tiny profits. They are good at fighting among themselves, but they don't know how to join forces with their brothers to deal with the real enemies outside.
So stupid.
Feeling even more angry, Jiang Rao turned around and looked at Liu.
Thinking about the destruction of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion in the future and her separation from her parents and brother, she knew that it was all related to Liu.
There was even a hint of anger in her eyes.
Since Liu was the first to break off relations, she was unwilling to give this elder any face.
He only has the status of an elder, but fails to do what an elder should do.
What's more, Liu was scolding her mother. If she swallowed her anger today, she would be unfilial.
Under the loose sleeves, Jiang Rao clenched her fingers, "Aunt said she doesn't want to argue with me, but what if I insist on arguing?"
…
Yan Nanxun and Yu Yinxue walked forward and backward, while Rong Ting stayed where he was.
His long fingers tapped lightly on the small table in front of him.
In the teacup, the water surface was motionless.
Seems like he is enduring something.
Huai Qing listened to the sound of his fingertips tapping the table, and his heartbeat became faster and faster.
Looking nervously under the stage.
Wonder what the hell happened there.
Having received the favor from the Fourth Lady, he was also afraid that she would be bullied.
…
Liu did not expect Jiang Rao to be so persistent and stopped again.
She frowned and looked at Jiang Rao, her eyes already filled with impatience and ferocity. She pointed at Jiang Rao and angrily said, "You!"
With a "boom" sound
Ripples appeared on the water surface in the white jade teacup.
The tea leaves at the bottom of the cup were shaken and swirled up in circles.
Rong Ting became impatient.
His finger finally clicked
The tabletop suddenly shifted, and he raised his hand.
There was hostility in his narrowed eyes.
He stared at the part of the neck exposed from Liu's standing collar.
There was no mercy or humanity in his eyes.
Instead, it carries a hint of bloodiness.
Just like a butcher in the vegetable market, looking at the chicken that is already on his chopping board and is waiting to be slaughtered.
Only when I saw Jiang Rao's figure, I remembered
The birthday of the old lady of the Ning'an Marquis's Mansion was a day that the little girl had been preparing for for a long time.
It is not advisable to see blood.
She would be afraid too.
All of a sudden, the anger in his body calmed down.
At the same time, his sight was suddenly blocked by a figure.
Yan Nanxun walked up to Jiang Rao.
He seemed to stand between Jiang Rao and Liu, not favoring either one.
But his body had slightly blocked Jiang Rao behind him, and he said to Liu: "Madam Liu."
Liu recognized Yan Nanxun. She did not dare to neglect him and quickly bowed to him, "Mr. Yan."
She glanced at Jiang Rao, who seemed to have found a place to hide behind Yan Nanxun. She hated him to death, but in front of Yan Nanxun, she could only force a smile and said, "The young people in my family are ignorant. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Yan."
Ming Shao already wants to hit someone!
But before she could make a move, Yan Nanxun sneered.
The sneer was directed at Liu.
Liu thought she had gained Yan Nanxun's approval and breathed a sigh of relief. She also knew that Yan Nanxun had a good relationship with the fourth room and was afraid that Yan Nanxun would stand on Jiang Rao's side.
"The child is too young, so it's understandable..."
She was interrupted by Yan Nanxun, who sneered, "Then should we not forgive the elders who are already wives and mothers and are quite old for not understanding things?"
Liu was stunned for a moment.
Her face turned cold and she immediately understood Yan Nanxun's attitude.
It was obvious that he was protecting Jiang Rao.
Facing Yan Nanxun's expression, he immediately turned unhappy. "Mr. Yan should know that lying is wrong. Mr. Yan didn't hear anything, so how could he speak nonsense?"
"Who said I didn't hear it?"
Yan Nanxun certainly didn't hear clearly the initial argument between Jiang Rao and Liu.
Instead, I only heard about Liu accusing Jiang Rao of slandering her and then making a big deal out of it.
But this did not stop him from telling lies with his eyes open.
"Unfortunately, my hearing is very good. I heard everything Madam Liu said from beginning to end."
He side-glanced at Yu Yinxue, "I'm afraid my disciples heard it, too, right?"
Yu Yinxue looked at Jiang Rao.
Just surprised by her appearance, slightly
Stunned.
Hearing the master calling him in a drawn-out voice, he immediately understood and said, "Disciple also heard clearly, it was Madam Liu's fault."
Although he didn't hear anything clearly.
But he has a clear account of this.
Liu has only one son, who is still very young. Even if he can be on good terms with Liu's branch, it can't compare to being the son-in-law of the fourth branch, who can give him greater help.
At the moment, whether it was to please Jiang Rao or to please the master, even if he didn't care about right or wrong, he would say that Liu was wrong.
Liu suddenly became speechless and could not utter a word.
She understands the principle that three people make a tiger.
What's more, Yan Nanxun is not an ordinary person.
Reaching the pinnacle, with many followers.
If she pointed at his nose and accused him of slandering her, the spit from Yan Nanxun's followers alone would be enough to drown her.
Liu pinched her palms, and all the anger in her heart could only be directed at one person.
She looked at Jiang Rao who was standing behind Yan Nanxun and said viciously, "Little jinx!"
Nothing good has happened to her since she came back.
Even during the twenty days she spent in the mountains, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the investigation of the shop might be related to the eldest wife. When she thought that Yan Nanxun was helping Jiang Rao, her reputation might be ruined. Liu was panicking and wanted to pull Jiang Rao out from behind Yan Nanxun. "You have all been deceived by her! She just looks innocent and kind!"
His movements were swift and violent, and he seemed to have completely lost control of his strength and emotions.
His nails were pointed and his hands were raised high, as if he was going to pull someone out, or as if he was raising his hand to hit someone.
But as soon as she stretched out her hand, a splitting pain came from her wrist.
The sleeves were opened by a sharp hook.
And under the sleeves, her arms and the sleeves suffered the same fate.
The wrist went from clean to bloody in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhhh!" Liu screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
She fell to the ground in front of the stage, her body covered in blood and dust, her face pale and disheveled. She lowered her eyes in panic, looking at her wrist which was injured out of nowhere in broad daylight and had an iron needle piercing it, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Fourth Master Jiang also stepped into the yard.
He heard from the servants that Liu was looking for trouble with his daughter, but when he arrived in the yard, he saw Liu's sleeves stained with blood and she looked extremely miserable.
When he first learned that Liu was bullying Jiang Rao, his first reaction was not to call a doctor.
Instead, he frowned and looked around the yard.
Some wanted to find out who was secretly helping his daughter.
But this person's hand
Some are too brutal.
…
Rong Ting lowered his eyes and his gaze returned to the white jade teacup on the table.
He picked up the tea and swung the teacup between his fingers.
He looked quiet and seemed to have nothing to do with Liu who was screaming over there.
But his eyes were gloomy.
He couldn't bear it.
He couldn't hold back when Liu's hand was raised high.
The hidden weapon in his hand flew out before he thought.
Instead, the birthday banquet she had carefully prepared was stained with blood.
Unlucky.
Rong Ting's fingertips stroked the cool porcelain of the teacup, and a hint of regret could be seen in his expression.
He lowered his head slightly, unable to bear seeing the possible frightened expression on the little girl's face.
But when I thought about that scene in my mind, my regret became even deeper.
There was a gleam of dissatisfaction in his pupils.
In the end, he just endured it.
Otherwise, the hidden weapon would not have pierced Liu's wrist.
It was her neck.
…
No one present noticed the unusual movement of Rong Ting's fingertips just now.
No one noticed that after he injured Liu, he silently moved his fingertips and threw all the other hidden weapons in his sleeves towards the tall sycamore tree in the yard when no one was paying attention.
The sound of flying thorns and needles piercing the tree trunk was masked by the rustling of leaves.
He had no hidden weapons on him, so even if someone came to search, no one would know it was him.
Only Huai Qing, when he heard Liu's scream and turned around to see Rong Ting playing with the teacup on the table, felt something strange.
Too quiet.
Like something had just been done.
But he didn't think that this frail master had the ability to accurately hit Liu's wrist from such a distance.
No one else present had this possibility.
Rong Ting lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup. He seemed to notice Huai Qing was looking at him and slowly raised his head.
She met Huai Qing's gaze and blinked.
As if he had just noticed it, he shifted his eyes and glanced at Liu.
Then he quickly turned around and lowered his eyelids again.
The hoarse voice was shallow, and the eyelashes under the eyes seemed to be trembling slightly.
"It's so scary," he said.
If you look closely at his lowered eyes, you can even see a clear light shaking in them.
It's the herbivorous animals that smell the blood...
A weak and frightened expression.
Huai Qing: “…”
Did he hear it right?
Fear?
Even if Liu was injured, it had nothing to do with his master, but... he still remembered how Si Ying died.
Your Highness the Ninth Prince is not afraid.
He looked towards Liu again with suspicion.
Took a look.
Just saw
Jiang Rao is looking this way.
