Chapter 143: Three Steps Forward, Three Steps Back (Seven)
"I was wrong, it's just your head." The little rabbit jumped down.
Old Wang and others saw Mo Er start to become confused, and there was also a suspicious color on her face.
"You see my hair? Since you can see clearly that it's me, you must remember what hairstyle I had at the time. Was it down or in a bun?" It's almost time to kill the rabbit.
When getting off the boat to eat, Meng'er remembered that Mozi was a maid's hairpin.
It's done, we can start a fire now.
Purple ink to white lotus one music, of course suffered white lotus white eyes, "Grandma, do you remember? After dinner on the boat, White Lotus said she wanted to practice her hand and gave me a full head of hair, right?" Many witnesses.
Qiu Sanniang bowed to the old queen and Queen Yifu, "Mozi is right. That day was so noisy that I even joked with her that her hair would touch the sky."
"I also remember, it was on the plate." Xiao Erlang chimed in.
Mozi thought, whether or not you have evidence is irrelevant. There's no better than having it, because Old Princess Wang obviously already suspects that she was instructed by Xiao Erlang.
However, at this time, almost everyone, including Queen Wang, had already believed Mozi. Facts are facts.
Miao Er sat on the ground with a thud, her eyes wide and staring blankly ahead, muttering to herself, "I didn't lie..."
No, you lied, you just didn't lie well enough. Meizhi doesn't need to say anything more anyway.
Thinking that the matter would end with Wei Liu's failure to ask for a husband, Mo Zi later thought that she was ultimately too naive. Having carefully planned and being destined to win, how could she allow herself to fail? Even if she were clever enough to clear herself of blame, she couldn't change the predetermined outcome.
How was your journey?
Wei Liu's expression was dazed as she crawled up, just when everyone thought she had given up. At that moment, she suddenly rushed towards the red pillar not far away. It was a resolute determination to seek death, so her movements were swift and decisive, without any hesitation or pretence.
Lian Mozi didn't even suspect it, Wei Liu'niang really wanted to take her own life. Otherwise, that would be inhumane.
None of the women present could stop the impending tragedy. Xiao Yi could, but without Qiu San Niang's order and being unfamiliar with the other party, she wouldn't expose her own martial arts skills.
However, Wei Liu's head did not come out with a big hole, and Wei Liu did not die either.
Because a woman can't save her, but a man can. Xiao Yi, who knows martial arts, cannot take action, so General Xiao, who is good with swords, can.
Just at that critical moment, Xiao Erlang's figure flashed and he blocked in front of the red pillar.
The force generated by Wei Liu's desperate determination actually knocked Xiao Er Lang back a step, causing him to lean against the pillar and grunt. He shifted slightly to the side, but the remaining force still caused Wei Liu to collide with the pillar, making a moderate sound. He had no choice but to reach out and grasp Wei Liu's shoulders, holding her in place.
Wei Liu Niang raised her face, her head splitting with pain, tears instantly welling up in her eyes, "Second Master, please let me die."
Xiao Erlang's chest was so congested that he felt like exploding, and Wei Liu's words made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. With a surge of strength, he pushed her to the ground, his cold and menacing aura filling the air as he asked in a low voice, "You - are you willing to sacrifice your reputation and risk your life just to marry me?"
Wei Liu Niang widened her eyes, "Second Master, I..." and hummed in agreement.
"It's impossible for me to marry you." Xiao Er Lang closed his eyes, and in his heart, he was dying. From childhood to adulthood, how had he ever fallen into such an unbearable situation?
Wei Liu's daughter bumped her head and hadn't come to yet, but she heard his words had no earlier ruthlessness, actively showing her attitude, "Liu doesn't care about fame, only wishes to stay by Second Master's side."
Xiao Erlang let out a long sigh, not looking at Wei Liu Niang on the ground again. He turned to face the elderly people who were still in shock and said, "If my legitimate wife doesn't enter the house, I will never take a concubine. Miss Liu doesn't care about her status, so neither do I. Whatever day our ancestors and mother choose to send her over is fine with me. Just let Qing Bi know ahead of time and she'll take care of it."
"Yu Niang, don't blame me for not giving you a title. It's come to this point, even if I'm killed, I won't agree. In the future, when my wife enters the household, let her decide what to do."
Qiong Yu called out "my child", I understood that those three words were all choked with tears.
Xiao Erlang swung his sleeves and walked away with a heavy step.
Mozi heard it, everyone present heard it. Xiao Erlang let the last move of seeking death be stunned, and finally compromised. However, he reluctantly took it, but this name was bitten and refused to let go. Wei Liu Niang eventually didn't even get a concubine, and was on the same level as Lu Bi Hong Luo. The people of the Wei family will all be angry to death, and the good eldest lady of the direct descent is used by others as a passageway.
The old queen and the queen stared at each other, neither of them bothering to put on any airs.
"Qiong Yu, this... how can this be good?" Her niece was hers, and the princess still gave face to Wei Qiong Yu.
"What can be done? She herself wants to follow him to death, and I, as her aunt, have nothing to say. Old lady, sister, you don't need to consider me, anyway, from now on, I won't be able to hold my head up again. As for the prince's place, I also don't have the face to see him. From today on, I will lock myself in the courtyard, eat vegetarian food and recite Buddhist scriptures, asking Bodhisattva to bless our Xiao family with smooth sailing. As for Liu Niang, there is no need to choose an auspicious day, she has nothing to be ashamed of, just send her to Er Lang's garden immediately. From now on, I won't take care of her affairs and don't need to tell me anything." Wei Qiong Yu looked exhausted, trembling as she stood up, and the maids hurried over to support her.
Seeing this scene, the princess also didn't want to say anything more and hurriedly let Wei Qiongyu return to rest and not speak those angry words.
Qiu San Niang took the opportunity to say she wanted to leave too. Anyway, things were already like this, and all that was left was to choose a date. It didn't matter whether they sent Wei Liu Niang to Weifeng House today or tomorrow.
The purple ink was stirred in, almost getting a lesson, Qiu Sanniang felt very suffocated and naturally had no good feelings towards this young lady from the same city.
It's settled, and there's no need to stay any longer. The queen nodded in agreement, allowing Qiu San Niang to take her leave.
The old queen stared at the unmoving Meizhi for a while, then turned to Qiu Sanniang and said, "Are the two words 'Meizhi' the name of the Jade Tomb Peony?"
"That's right." thought Qiu Sanniang, what else?
"It's too noble for a maid like you to marry him." Old Queen Wang smiled at Hongmei, who was standing beside Qiu San Niang. The commotion that had just occurred was already over in the eyes of this elderly person, "The second-class maids in your courtyard are all good with their silence."
Mozzie heard, huh? What is this old ancestor doing? Want to change her name? Mozzi? Call her less talkative, quietly emitting purple? Changing a name can bring good luck, just like someone was forced to add a room, actually having a lot of good fortune. So, saying something meaningless, she's also very capable of being meaningless.
"Ancestors, Mozi is a commoner from Yuling, and it's not uncommon for ordinary people's daughters to be named Mozi. She got involved in this matter today, and I was going to heavily punish her when I get back. In front of you, I'll reduce her punishment, but even as a third-class maid, she'd still think the punishment is too light, so I'll just demote her to being a rough maid in the outer courtyard." After finishing speaking, Qiu San Niang leaned against Old Wang Fei and coquettishly smiled for a while.
The old queen then didn't mention changing names again.
Qiu Sanniang walked past Mozi's side and gave her a signal with her eyes.
Mozi immediately followed up, but suddenly heard Moer's exclamation, it turned out that Weiliu's mother had fainted.
Bai He said pitifully.
Hongmei said pitifully whatever she wanted, and got it all.
Mozhi said, when it's going to rain and one's mother is going to get married, who can stop them?
On the second day, Hongmei received news that Wei Liuniang had already moved into Weifeng Residence. The young maids couldn't help but gossip around Qiu San Niang, who was not very patient with them.
"Grandma, about Mozi being demoted and all that, are you serious or just saying it?" Green Chrysanthemum hadn't followed along yesterday, but when she heard about such a big thing happening, what she was most concerned about was still Mozi letting Qiu San Niang be demoted to a lowly little maid.
"What was said in front of the old lady, could it be fake?" Hongmei thought that Lüjing was just asking casually, "It's also Baizi's bad luck to run into this and make the old lady unhappy. Originally, it wasn't her fault either."
"It's true." Qiu Sanniang didn't want to hear about Wei Liuniang anyway, and Lüjing helped pick up the ink purple to say it, just in time.
Lü Jù wanted to plead on behalf of Mò Zǐ, but Bái Hé pulled her sleeve and shook his head.
Qiu San Niang put down her bowl and chopsticks, rinsed her mouth, stood up and walked out, "I'm going to the study. Bai He, call Mozi over for me, I have something to say to her."
Bai He responded with a sound and hurriedly went to call someone.
Hongmei put away the table and said to the dazed Green Chrysanthemum, "Don't worry, it's just a punishment for Old Lady to see, soon you'll be promoted back. Grandma has a clear conscience."
Lu Jing raised an eyebrow, "You're usually not very polite to Mo Zi Ping, why are you suddenly speaking well of her today?"
Hongmei smiled awkwardly, "Am I so petty? Usually, she's second-rate and I'm first-rate. I should treat her well, what do other second-rate maids think? Besides, I have eyes and can see for myself. Such a clever and capable person, if I hadn't come in, she would've been a first-rate maid long ago. Yesterday, you didn't see how she spoke, the tone, the demeanor... I was stunned. Feeling ashamed in my heart, thinking that her reading and writing skills were nothing special, but now I understand, she's just naturally clever, there's no way for me to compare."
"You just know." Green Chrysanthemum pushed Red Plum slightly, laughing and saying, "It's nothing, you're like me in the past, starting out, underestimating her. Later on, I discovered that she's completely different from me. That brain of hers spins faster than a top."
Hongmei Road is really something.
The two of them continued working, without mentioning it again.
Mozi entered the study and saw Xiao Yi grinding ink while Qiu San Niang was writing.
"Is Grandma calling me? Is she going to change my name or send me away to a different courtyard?" Qiu San Niang's behavior was suddenly incomprehensible to Mo Zi.
"What name should I change? What do you want me to change?" Jiang Sanniang didn't even lift her head, writing quickly with her hand, unlike her usual careless and sloppy handwriting.
"I just said it casually." Mozi knew that changing names was unlikely and wouldn't work outside the palace, but she had mentioned it to Old Queen Wang.
"Starting from tomorrow, you go outside and take a look at that bamboo forest." Qiao San Niang was indeed going to carry it out.
However, Zhū Línzi? The wall behind that small house directly adjoins the wall of the Huáng Fǔ estate.
Purple ink in her mind was turning over thoughts, thinking, Qiu San Niang is going to...
"Mozi, although I've lowered your status as a concubine, I'm giving you a new task that's even better than the one given to Da Yiniang." Qiu Sanniang put down her brush and blew gently on the paper.
"Grandma, please say." Mozi roughly knew.
"Take charge." Qiu San Niang's expression turned serious.
The little clothes are blown by eight winds without moving, grinding and grinding ink.
