”Master, master is innocent, this was not the third lady's intention.” Madam Xiao raised her swollen face and knelt on the ground, crying and complaining to Lian Yan Qing.
”How dare you speak to her!” Lian Yan Qing was furious, he grabbed the water jug on the table beside him and fiercely smashed it onto the ground, ”Which one wasn't her intention? The parrot wasn't something she was going to bring, and the jade pendant wasn't hers? ”
”Master, please think about it carefully. Don't you think that something is amiss?” ”At first, Third Young Miss was kind and wanted to please the Young Master in front of the Princess. She talked very softly and didn't do anything, unlike Eldest Young Miss, who can chat and laugh with the princes, have a good marriage in the future, and protect the Lord, she can only work on small matters. She heard that one of Princess An Guo's favorite parrot had died, so she went to a lot of lengths to buy a parrot.
The parrot had been fine, and many people had heard of its auspicious words. However, it had suddenly disappeared three days ago. Today, the parrot had appeared before the princess' mansion, and had then pecked her in the face.
Old master, don't you think this is very strange? Why did the parrot disappear, and why did it appear when Third Young Miss was in a rush? ”
When Lian Yanqing heard what Madame Xiao had to say, his anger slowly subsided. ”You're saying someone did something to the parrot?”
”Yes.” Aunt Xiao nodded and secretly observed Lian Yanqing's expression.
”Who could it be?” Lian Yanqing's eyes slightly narrowed as he began to ponder over what Madame Xiao had said.
”Yes …” Lian Shiya wanted to say that it was Lian Ruyue, but she was stopped by Aunt Xiao's gaze. She continued, ”Not only this time. Master, think carefully again. During this period of time, all sorts of things have arisen in our house, and we haven't been quiet for a few days. Could it be …?” Isn't it strange? This has never happened before. ”
Xiao Niang slowly and ingeniously led the matter towards Linyue. Even Shiya noticed her intentions and followed, ”Father, if my parrot is unreliable, how would I dare to take it to the princess …”
”What about your jade pendant? Is it someone else who set you up? ” Lian Yan Qing snorted coldly as his expression became even colder.
”I …” Lian Shiya was left speechless. This was a shadow that she would never be able to erase in her entire life.
”Master, who hasn't reached the age of calamity yet? Third Miss did indeed do something wrong and was punished. She was beaten up by the princess and the madame, as well as Eldest Miss. She was humiliated in public. But, if we are to let go of the person who is causing all this trouble, that is just indulgence! ”
”What do you mean … Is it Lu Yue who is secretly playing tricks on me? ” Lian Yan Qing asked coldly.
”Old master, please spare me, this lowly concubine doesn't dare to bring up Eldest Miss's name. Today, everyone around Eldest Miss is a god, and today, with just a maid, they beat Third Miss up. Old master must have seen the wives and maidservants outside my courtyard when he entered, and they were all beaten up by that maidservant, especially Qin mama, whose arm bones were broken.”
”Yes, Father, look at my hand.” Lian Shiya weakly raised her hand and said, ”I don't know where this maidservant came from, but my wrist got so swollen after just pinching me. Eldest young mistress didn't even try to persuade her, if in the future she attacks the master of the mansion when she's unhappy, then …” ”How can that be.”
”What?” Lian Yan Qing was stunned. ”Yue'er has such a disrespectful person by her side?”
”Master …” ”Young Miss must have been bewitched by something to keep such a dangerous person by her side.”
When she saw Lian Yan Qing's gradually frowning brow, her heart gradually relaxed — —
Very good, I've already led Lian Yanqing to think about Lianyue!
”Father, your daughter has truly suffered great grievances. Father must investigate this thoroughly and return my innocence. Otherwise, my daughter will never be able to rest in peace!” Lian Shiya cried from time to time as if she suffered a great grievance.
”Master, regardless of whether you trust me or not, regardless of whether you still pity the third young miss, take it as an investigation for the sake of the prime minister's residence.” Xiao Niang continued to speak from the side.
”That's right, father, as well as that beaten servant girl. Since when has our Prime Minister's Estate become so undivided? This servant is going to make a move on master, if this is learned by other servants, or if it is spread out …” Lian Shiya hated the matter of Green Branch making a move on her; she was bound to teach this reckless servant a lesson.
”To the Immortal Lotus Courtyard!” With a darkened face, Lian Yanqing turned around and walked out. He thought to himself, Yue'er has indeed changed a lot since the return of Yao City. If she dares to go against her will and do something that would harm his father, he will definitely not let her off lightly.
”Yes.” Auntie Xiao was overjoyed as she hurriedly helped Lian Shiya up and whispered, ”We'll all have to go take a look in case she tries to quibble. Later, don't speak carelessly and let me say it.”
”Mother, I understand!” Father already suspects her, if we can't sleep well, she won't be able to sleep well either. ”
As the two mother and daughter spoke, they quickened their pace to follow behind Lian Yan Qing and hurried towards the Immortal Lotus Courtyard. Both of their eyes flashed with a trace of excitement.
It was night. The night was very cold.
