The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

  Chapter 15 015: I don’t know how many catties the bones weigh

  The lights in the room were flickering. The eldest lady looked at the angry daughter, patted the seat beside her to let her sit down, and said slowly: "What did mother tell you? Don't worry about things, and find a way when everything is stable. When people are in a hurry, they are prone to chaos, and accidents will happen."

  Song Yexi pursed her lips, but there was still a stubborn look between her brows.

  The eldest lady sighed, "You said that what happened today was done by Sylvia, do you have evidence?"

  Song Yexi: …

  If she had evidence and could still make trouble here, she would have already slapped Song Qinghan on her face.

   "Mother, although I have no evidence, there is one thing that is very subtle. After we arrived at the Bo's residence, we met with Mrs. Uncle, and Song Qinghan took us to play in the garden of the Bo's residence. Then we met Chu Yuying, and the eldest girl Chu asked Yun Zhao, how do you think she knew Yun Zhao?"

   "Is there such a thing?" The eldest lady frowned slightly, "Talk to mother carefully."

  Song Yexi breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed impetuous thoughts, and then continued: "Mother, at that time we went to the garden with a group of people. Before we could enjoy the scenery, Miss Chu came here with a group of girls and women. It was so grand. She glanced at us and asked who Yun Zhao was. Don't you think it's strange? Why did Miss Chu come up and ask Yun Zhao? How did she know Yun Zhao?"

   "Qinghan and Yun Zhao are sisters, and Mrs. Uncle is their aunt. It is not surprising that Miss Chu knows Yun Zhao." The eldest lady said.

   "It is true to say so, but when Jinxuan told Miss Chu that Yun Zhao was ill today, my daughter looked at Miss Chu with her own eyes, and there was something wrong with her expression. There was a bit of anger mixed with disappointment. If she was entertaining guests, how could she have such a look?"

  The eldest lady nodded slightly, "What happened next?"

   "Later, Song Qinghan stood up and talked to Ms. Chu with a smile. The two of them walked aside and didn't know what they said. Ms. Chu walked away with a worried face and ignored us."

  The face of the eldest lady is difficult to look at. Although the Chu family is the uncle's house, the two families are also close relatives, so they may not be too disrespectful.

  My husband is only a fifth-rank official now, but he can enter the Salt Envoy Division. As long as he is promoted in a few years, it will be a sure thing. The Salt Envoy Division is not a place that everyone can enter.

  Ding Nanbo's mansion looks at the scenery, a noble family, and a noble family with hairpin tassels, but now the Chu family has nothing to do except a noble concubine, and few children in the family have achieved success.

  The only supporting imperial concubine has also died of illness. It is hard to say whether the title of Dingnanbo Mansion can be kept, and the Chu family will be nothing by then.

  The eldest lady suppressed her anger, looked at her daughter and said: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't care about you, as long as Mrs. Uncle can recommend you for election."

   "Daughter may not think so, Mrs. Uncle obviously likes Song Qinghan more. If there is only one person to choose, she may be the one." Song Yexi said unwillingly.

  The eldest lady looked at her daughter and asked, "Then what happened to Jinxuan today was an accident or intentional?"

   Song Yexi's face changed when he mentioned this matter. "I was a little far away from Jinxuan at the time, and I hurried over when I heard her scream, only to see a smudge of blue robe disappearing at the corner of the corridor. When I saw Jinxuan, she had already stepped into the lotus pond with one foot. Mom, I can't be wrong, someone was trying to harm Jinxuan at that time."

"and after?"

   "Later, Song Qinghan rushed over with people, and opened her mouth to reprimand Jinxuan for being playful and disrespectful. How can an older sister watch her sister step into the muddy pond and not want to appease quickly, but come up and scold others? The daughter looks coldly at Song Qinghan, clearly wanting to determine that Jinxuan accidentally stepped into the muddy pond."

   "Didn't Jinxuan say anything?"

   "She argued for a few words, but Chu Yuying arrived before she finished speaking. She opened her mouth and kept her mouth shut. Song Jinxuan was playful and disrespectful, and a good girl actually went into the water. At that time, her daughter's face was on fire."

  The lady's face was completely dark at the moment, "And then?"

  "What else can there be? Then, Song Qinghan and Chu Yuying convict Jinxuan of being obstinate and impolite in a few words. At that time, I saw that Chu Yuying looked at us, and the expression was not right. The second sister and the third sister wanted to speak for Jinxuan, but I was caught. Afraid? At that time, I said something, Sister Han is really a good elder sister of Sanfang, and then I walked away with the two sisters supporting Jinxuan."

  The eldest lady stared at her daughter, "You must have seen clearly that the man who ran away was wearing a blue robe?"

   "Can I still lie to you? I feel a little scared when I think about it now."

  All those who wear robes are men, why are there men in the backyard?

  The eldest lady slammed the table, looked at her daughter and said: "It seems that today's game is not aimed at Jinxuan, but..."

   Song Yexi's mind flashed, and he blurted out, "Yun Zhao?"

  The eldest lady didn't say much in front of her daughter, but patted her hand, "Don't guess, if you tell something without evidence, you will only be caught by others. After you took Jinxuan away, did you ever ask her what happened?"

  Speaking of this, Song Yexi said: "Jinxuan only said that she was enjoying the scenery by the lotus pond, and suddenly a person jumped out. She was so scared that she stepped back and stepped into the lotus pond. At that time, her exclamation probably frightened the visitor, and he turned around and ran away."

   "Can you see what it looks like?"

   "Jinxuan said that she was scared to death at the time. She only knew it was a man, and she didn't even see what he looked like."

   "There is neither evidence nor physical evidence. Your third uncle hasn't arrived in Beijing yet. I'm afraid this matter will not be resolved." The eldest lady looked at her daughter seriously, "This matter is not allowed to be mentioned in my house."

   "Mother, is that the way to go?" Song Yexi felt terrible when he thought about it. The two concubine elder sisters in their room knew at the time that they wanted to protect Song Jinxuan, but Song Jinxuan's eldest sister wanted to trample her into the mud.

   They are all surnamed Song, Song Jinxuan's reputation is ruined, what good will they have?

   "Forget it?" The lady sneered, "Forget it, what will happen to Aunt Che's methods after your third uncle arrives in Beijing."

  Song Yexi was taken aback.

  The eldest lady patted her daughter's hand, "Yun Zhao is still recuperating, you go to see her and go to rest."

  Song Yexi looked unhappy, "Mother..."

  The eldest lady glanced at her daughter.

  Song Yexi was stupefied for a moment, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go and see Yun Zhao first."

  The eldest lady looked at her daughter's back and sighed softly. When she went out, she said to Mother Zhao: "I really didn't realize that Song Qinghan still has this ability. Since she has done such a big thing, she must be famous."

  Song Qinghan dared to attack Song Jinxuan today, and tomorrow she would dare to attack her Ye Xi.

   Don't let her have a long memory, she doesn't even know how many catties the bones weigh!
