Chapter 150 Confrontation
Upon learning that Liu Xueqing had returned to the Liu Mansion, Yuan Ziyu persuaded Yuan Qifeng to follow her.
Liu Xueqing entered the palace, but returned with Imperial Tutor Liu after just one night. It seemed that she had received some instructions from Concubine Liu. Yuan Ziyu was naturally on guard against Liu Xueqing turning the tables.
"Lord Huo, General Yuan!"
"Master Taifu!"
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down in the flower hall according to their status as host and guest.
The others were fine, but Liu Haozhe looked frightened and lowered his head quickly, as if afraid that someone would notice him. He huddled beside Xue and kept silent. After a while, he quietly slipped out of the flower hall.
Yuan Ziyu naturally saw Liu Haozhe, and seeing his cowardly look, she just looked at him with disdain.
"Lord Huo, General Yuan!" Imperial Tutor Liu spoke first. "My daughter wasn't at home yesterday because the Imperial Concubine summoned her to the palace. I brought her back today and made inquiries. Those rumors weren't spread by her. It was actually my fault. I had a minor conflict with Second Miss Yuan at Fatan Temple, and I complained a few times. Who knew someone with ulterior motives would spread the rumors, leading to this incident? Truthfully, both my daughter and Second Miss Yuan are victims."
"If I were to say so, we should all go to the Chen family of the Tongzhengsi to seek justice, instead of forcing my daughter here!" Taifu Liu said again.
"Is this the explanation that Master Taifu gave us?" Yuan Qifeng asked coldly.
Yuan Qifeng's attitude made Taifu Liu feel a little unhappy, so he said, "Of course, I have confirmed this with my daughter repeatedly."
"Your daughter didn't deny it yesterday, but today she said something different, which really confused me!" Yuan Qifeng said with a sneer.
"That's right!" Huo Lixiu also said, "Yesterday, the noble daughter forced the second daughter of the Yuan family to swear an oath. What? Are you denying everything today?"
"Speaking of yesterday!" Imperial Tutor Liu frowned, his tone becoming harsh. "Second Miss Yuan whipped my daughter in public. Although my daughter isn't from a wealthy family, she's not an ordinary person either. For doing this, shouldn't Second Miss Yuan also give me an explanation?"
"Heh!" Yuan Zi'an couldn't help but exclaimed, "I thought Imperial Tutor Liu was so upright, but I didn't expect him to be so skilled at turning the tables. No wonder he raised such a daughter."
"You!" Taifu Liu stood up suddenly, his eyes wide with anger. The thing he valued most in his life was his reputation. Now, he was being mocked by a young boy like this. How could he bear it?
"General Yuan, your young master is mocking me like this, are you just going to stand by and watch?" Taifu Liu snorted coldly and said to Yuan Qifeng.
"Master Taifu, although I was a bit reckless, what he said does make some sense." Yuan Qifeng also snorted coldly.
"What!" Taifu Liu opened his eyes angrily, "So, you are not going to give us in the Liu Mansion an explanation?"
"Give me an explanation!" Yuan Qifeng also stood up and glared at Grand Tutor Liu: "I wonder what explanation Grand Tutor Liu is going to give me?"
"And my Xuanping Marquis Mansion!" Huo Lixiu also stood up and said.
"You guys!" Taifu Liu couldn't help but slam the table, but he was afraid of Marquis Xuanping, so he didn't do it in the end.
"Oh, what are you talking about?" Xue couldn't help herself and said, "My daughter didn't do anything, but she was harmed and beaten instead. How can you think you are right?"
Liu Xueqing didn't say anything, but just cried softly, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Since you think you are right, why not let Miss Yuan Er and Miss Liu San confront each other to see who is right." At this time, Huo Xifei said.
"That's right. Do you think you're right just by pretending to be aggrieved?" Yuan Zining said to Liu Xueqing with a look of disgust.
These words made Liu Xueqing feel choked up.
Huo Xifei's words were exactly what Yuan Ziyou was thinking, so he stood up and said, "Then let me have a good discussion with Miss Liu San!"
"Qing'er, come here!" When Tutor Liu saw that his daughter was still standing there motionless with a look of grievance on her face, he immediately lost face. No matter what, you at least crushed the other person with momentum. But now, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the other party is justified. Tutor Liu felt that his face was completely lost by this daughter.
Liu Xueqing didn't dare to disobey what Grand Tutor Liu said, so she had to stand up and stare at Yuan Ziyu with her red eyes from crying.
"Miss Liu San, glaring at me is pointless. I think she knows whether she did this or not!" Yuan Ziyu said, "Miss Liu San said she and I had a minor conflict at Fatan Temple. How could I, the person involved, not know about it? I only know that as soon as we met, she was sarcastic and overbearing. Is this the conflict she was talking about?"
"Yuan Ziyu, didn't you whip me to scare me in Fatan Temple?" After hearing Yuan Ziyu's words, Liu Xueqing couldn't help but retort.
"That was a warning to you not to mess with me!" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "I'm not your family's servant, nor am I Liu Xueqing's maid. Why should I be ridiculed and attacked by you the moment we meet? You even acted so bossy and bossy. I was already showing mercy by not hitting you!"
"Master Taifu!" Yuan Ziyou finished speaking, then turned to Taifu Liu, "From the beginning to the end, it was your Third Young Lady who provoked me. It wasn't enough for me to back down once, and she's doing it again. I'm just giving her a warning with my whip. Isn't that too much?"
"Not really!" Seeing that Liu Xueqing didn't deny Yuan Ziyu's words, Taifu Liu suppressed his anger and could only say this. Could it be that he was being too much? What about his daughter repeatedly provoking others?
"But what I didn't expect was that there were rumors about me as soon as I came back. I wonder if Lord Taifu knows the content of those rumors?" Yuan Ziyu asked again.
Taifu Liu frowned. He didn't really ask about the content of the rumor. He just knew that it was detrimental to his reputation.
"It seems that Master Taifu doesn't know!" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "Then I will tell Master Taifu about the content of the rumor. The rumor says that I had a secret meeting with a man in the peach forest of Fatan Temple, and even had an affair with a man in the peach forest. Master Taifu, the purpose of this rumor is not only to ruin my reputation, but also to take my life. I just want to ask, if the daughter of a mere fourth-rank Tongzhengsi dares to say such things about me without someone to support her?"
Tutor Liu was speechless after being asked by Yuan Ziyu. According to common sense, how could the daughter of a fourth-rank official dare to spread rumors about a girl from a first-rank military general if she had no one to support her?
"Qing'er, what's going on?" Tutor Liu shouted at Liu Xueqing.
Liu Xueqing gritted her teeth and cried, "That rumor was spread by Chen Yao, it's none of my business!"
