Xiaochan, who was following Chu Nianhe, was startled when she saw the master. Before she could see who was behind the birch tree, she shouted loudly, “Who is hiding there sneakily?”
Several people looked closely and found that it was Chu Leyan who walked out of the back of the tree. The gauze was still stuck in the place where the cat was scratched by her face. The gauze was dyed black with black Chinese medicine soup, and it made her face look a little ferocious.
“The girl next to my elder sister is so well educated. She even shouted to me.” Chu Leyan said coldly.
Chu Nianhe looked at Xu’s mother who was looking at Chu Leyan with displeasure, and said to her, “What’s the wound on my sister’s face? I’m planning to go to the third aunt’s yard to see you later.”
When he heard Chu Nianhe mention her wound, Chu Leyan was immediately angry and said to Chu Nianhe viciously, “Sister can really poke people’s pain. If it weren’t for you, how could I have been scratched by that cat and ruined my appearance?”
Chu Nianhe looked at Chu Leyan in surprise, and the grievance in her eyes fell into Xu’s mother’s eyes beside her: “Sister is confused? That cat is yours, and you brought grandmother and father to my yard. You didn’t take good care of the cat yourself, why did you blame me on my head?”
Xu’s mother also said, “Second Miss, don’t be wronged by the eldest lady. I have been watching from the side. The cat really jumped up and scratched your face. It has nothing to do with the eldest lady.”
Chu Leyan didn’t expect that even Xu’s mother helped Chu Nianhe to speak, and pointed at Chu Nianhe angrily and shouted loudly, “It’s you!” She walked in front of Chu Nianhe like crazy and rushed to Chu Nianhe: “It’s you who seduced me, and let me make a fool of myself in front of my grandmother and father! If you hadn’t pressed step by step in front of others, how could I hurt the cat and let it grab me like this! You are so proud to see my face turning into this now!”
Mother Xu looked at Chu Leyan’s appearance and immediately said to her: “Second Miss, you obviously insisted that the young lady broke the palace clothes and pestered the old lady. You should be careful when you talk to the young lady! I have to tell the old lady everything you say now!”
In recent years, Mother Xu saw how Chu Leyan won the old lady’s favor step by step. Although she felt that the second lady was too flattering, she thought that she could make the old lady happy, so she let her go. She was used to seeing Chu Leyan’s gentleness and well-behavedness on weekdays, and now when she suddenly saw her crazy side, Xu’s mother couldn’t help but be surprised.
After hearing Xu’s mother’s words, Chu Leyan showed a painful expression on her face. She grabbed Xu’s mother’s arm and begged, “Mom Xu, you are begging grandmother for me for so long!”
Mother Xu didn’t expect Chu Leyan to come and catch her suddenly. She didn’t stand firm for a while, and the box with clothes in her hand fell down.On the ground, the clothes in the box were also scattered, just in the eyes of Chu Leyan.
Chu Leyan looked down at the clothes and was suddenly stunned. She squatted down, gently stroked the clothes with her white hands, and whispered in a low voice: “Mom Xu, did Grandma give her the clothes she made for me?”
This clothes was indeed made by Chen in order to bring Chu Leyan to the palace banquet in the morning according to her body. Now seeing that she can’t stand the policing, Xu’s mother made an idea to the old lady and asked Chen to give the clothes to Chu Nianhe. Fortunately, the two of them have similar figures, so Chu Nianhe will not find any clues.
When Xu’s mother saw that Chu Leyan actually told the truth, she was suddenly panicked. She picked up the box and said to Chu Leyan, “This is the clothes that the old lady has tailed for the eldest lady. Did the second lady remember it wrong?”
Chu Leyan slowly stood up, her eyes full of tears. She looked at Chu Nianhe hatefully and said, “It seems that my grandmother has given you the opportunity to enter the palace banquet.”
Chu Nianhe said calmly, “Sister, don’t be sad, I think my grandmother will take you into the palace next time.”
Next time? Chu Leyan pulled her lips and smiled. She was already fourteen now. By the next time she entered the palace banquet, she would be seventeen years old and was over the age to get married. If someone came to ask for a marriage in the past few years, she would naturally be unable to refuse. Zuo was just like her mother, who became a concubine for an elderly minister in the court, suffered humiliation, and had a life of rush. She is so beautiful and smart, how could she be willing to let it go!
