Chapter 21 Rumors
"Second Miss!" Qingzhi's face flushed with anger: "This really makes me so angry!"
"What happened that makes you so angry?" Yuan Ziyu asked curiously!
Qingzhi stamped her feet and walked over to Yuan Ziyu: "Second Miss, you don't know what those gossipy women in the mansion say about you. They say you are too spoiled and disrespectful to your elders. They even dare to hit the nanny beside the old lady!"
"Then what?" Yuan Ziyu asked!
Qingzhi's eyes widened. "My second daughter, and then, this is already infuriating enough. They are ruining your reputation! They are going too far!"
Seeing Yuan Ziyu's calmness, Qingzhi said anxiously, "Second Miss, we need to come up with a plan!"
"No rush!" Yuan Ziyu smiled. He could easily guess where the rumor came from.
"Second Miss, the house is on fire!" Qingzhi was so anxious that she jumped up and down!
At this time, Qingying walked in and nodded at Qingzhi: "You, this habit of getting impatient when encountering things, when will you change? The second lady is not anxious, she must have something in mind!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "It's okay, Qingzhi is fine like this!"
In her previous life, Qingzhi was impatient all her life, and finally calmed down once, but she used her own life to exchange for her own survival.
Qingzhi made a face at Qingying and said distressedly, "Second Miss, what will we do if the old lady finds out?"
"I know, then I know!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile!
Qingzhi said anxiously, "My second daughter, you didn't grow up with the old lady. What if these nonsense words make the old lady dislike you? What should I do?"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma is not that confused!"
"Oh, well, then we can only deal with it as the time comes!" Qingzhi said with a pout when she saw that Yuan Ziyu and Qingying were both not in a hurry.
"Hey!" Qingying smiled and said, "Qingzhi, I noticed that you have made great progress in your studies recently!"
"Of course!" Qingzhi raised her chin proudly, "I'm the second young lady's maid!"
"Second Miss, Sister Dingxiang who is with the old lady is here!" Lu'er's voice came in.
Before she finished speaking, Dingxiang walked in with a smile and bowed to Yuan Ziyoufu: "Second Miss, the old lady sent me to ask you to go to Shousong Hall."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Dingxiang!"
Then she called out again: "Qingying!"
Qingying then took out a small purse and put it in Dingxiang's hand with a smile.
Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "Sister Dingxiang, this is a small gift. Save it for buying some snacks. Go back to Grandma now. I'll be there soon."
Dingxiang didn't refuse. She smiled and accepted the purse, then said, "Some gossipy old women have been gossiping about the Second Young Lady. The old lady just found out and is furious. She's already sent people to investigate and find Nanny Nan!"
"Thank you!" Yuan Ziyu nodded with a smile.
"Then I will take my leave!" Dingxiang bowed and left Wuyou Pavilion!
As soon as Dingxiang left, Qingzhi said anxiously, "Second Miss, the old lady has sent someone to look for Nanny Nan. What if Nanny Nan tells lies and makes up stories? What will we do? The last time I saw Nanny Nan, she wasn't a good person."
Nanny Nan!
Yuan Ziyou thought about it and smiled, "I'm afraid this lawsuit today was caused by Nanny Nan."
"Madame Nan?" Qingzhi blinked. "Could it be that Madame Nan started this rumor today?"
Qingying laughed and said, "No!"
"Why?" Qingzhi asked in confusion.
"Because of this matter, no matter what the outcome, the one who will suffer in the end is Nan Ma!" Qingying said with a smile while helping Yuan Ziyu fix her coat and skirt, "Do you think she will dig a hole for herself?"
"Oh!" Qingzhi also reacted: "That's true, but who is so despicable? If I find out who it is, I'll show you how I'll deal with him!"
Qingzhi waved his fist in anger.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "I'm just afraid you can't deal with that person!"
Upon hearing this, Qingying asked, "Could it be that the Second Miss knows who it is?"
"It's almost there!" Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "It's just a little trick. Let's go to Shousong Hall!"
Here, Yuan Ziyu took Qingying and Qingzhi to Shousong Hall, and the atmosphere in Shousong Hall was also solemn at this time.
The elder lady leaned on the soft couch, fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand, her face slightly cold.
Aunt Bai brought a bowl of Biluochun tea and said, "Old Madam, calm down. The Second Young Lady is definitely not that kind of person. Although the Second Young Lady didn't grow up by your side, don't you understand her, Madam?"
"Alas!" The elder lady sighed, "Ah Man, I naturally believe in the second girl, but the people behind this matter make me feel chilled! There are only a few masters in the mansion now, and Liu Shi will not ruin the second girl's reputation."
Nanny Bai had been with Madam Yuan for her entire life, so she understood what Madam Yuan hadn't said. She smiled and said, "Perhaps you're worrying too much. Who knows, it's just those gossipy old women who made up stories and started this lawsuit?"
"I hope so!" The elder lady sighed, looking somewhat dejected. They say that a harmonious family brings prosperity, but sometimes, people are greedy and want more than they can swallow. "The second son's wife is a bit overthinking, so I haven't handed over the household expenses to her for all these years, but..."
"Old lady, worrying too much will harm your health. You should relax!" Aunt Bai advised.
Madam Yuan patted Nanny Bai's hand and sighed, "You are the only one who understands me!"
Nanny Bai smiled and said, "Old Madam, the eldest and second daughters are both good. Now that they are both in the mansion, they will always be by your side to entertain you. Isn't it a pleasure?"
The elder lady smiled and said, "Of course they are both good!"
At this time, Shaoyao walked in, and the elder lady asked, "Have you found out who they are?"
Shaoyao said hurriedly: "I found it and brought it all here!"
"Let them kneel in the yard!" The elder lady waved her hand and said!
Shaoyao responded and went out!
In Tongxiang Courtyard, Lianqiao hurriedly walked in from outside!
Yuan Zitong was fiddling with a hairpin flower. Seeing Lian Qiao come in, she asked, "What's going on?"
Lian Qiao smiled, moved closer to Yuan Zitong, and whispered, "It is said that the old lady is furious and wants to question someone. The eldest lady, the second young lady, and Nan Ma have all been found. In the old lady's yard, the maids and wives are kneeling on the ground!"
"Hmph, let's see what that old man says!" Yuan Zitong sneered.
"That's right. Even if she tells the truth, she has to be believed! Besides, how can the old lady forgive her for accepting bribes? She knows it in her heart." Lian Qiao smiled proudly: "Maybe the second young lady will have to bear the consequences. If that happens, the old woman will still be in trouble!"
Yuan Zitong raised the corner of her mouth proudly and inserted the hairpin in her hand into her hair. Lian Qiao stepped forward attentively to help her tidy it up.
"Let's wait and see what happens!"
