Chapter 264: The Courageous Chu Qiao
Yuan Xi gave his gift and accepted the newlywed couple Pang Tong and Yan Ya with Yan Rou. After raising his glass and drinking it high, he left with a smile. Everyone was under great pressure here and did not dare to do their best, because everyone knew very well that although Yuan Xi was gentle to his subordinates, he paid great attention to rules and could not even be randomly placed, not to mention that the upper and lower levels were not distinguished. Therefore, only when he left could the ministers completely relax.
Yuan Xi, who returned to the governor's mansion alone, sat in the inner hall, looking at the empty scene, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The emperor, a lonely man, is this sentence really reasonable. For the majesty of the lord, for the order of the upper and lower levels, the arm-shoulder and bragging and drinking in his previous life are no longer possible. Things in the world have gains and losses. Since you have sat in this position, you must be able to withstand the pressure and loneliness it brings.
"Mr. Marquis, today is a happy day. Why don't you go to the backyard for a walk!" Liu Quan looked at Yuan Xi with an unusual expression and said with concern.
Yuan Xi shook his head, took a memorial, and began to review it carefully. When Liu Quan saw this scene, he slowly retreated helplessly.
Time was slowly lost without realizing it. A few hours later, just as Yuan Xi was reviewing a document requesting funding for Youbeiping, Liu Quan walked in again and whispered anxiously: "Mrs. Marquis, it's not good. Mrs. Lu took Chu Qiao to trouble Mrs. Liu."
"What?" Yuan Xi was stunned, slowly put down the pen in his hand, frowned and said, "What's going on?"
"Chu Qiao was too impulsive. Not only did she offend Mrs. Liu, she also beat her maid. After being caught by the guard, she slapped her several times. Mrs. Lu knew about this matter. You also know that although Mrs. Lu entered the mansion, she really liked Chu Qiao, and even taught her martial arts privately. Originally, Mrs. Yun thought about this matter. Although she felt sorry for Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao was still a maid after all, but Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it. She took Chu Qiao to find justice. It was probably time to have arrived at Mrs. Liu's house." Liu Quan smiled bitterly.
Yuan Xi's face froze and said, "Qi'er is too unruly. Even if Chu Qiao suffers grievances, she can't go to Ling'er for a maid. Is there any rules in the mansion in the future?"
Although he also appreciates Chu Qiao's courage and loyalty, the distinction between master and servant must be clear. Otherwise, how can the master control his subordinates and where will the servants get a sense of awe?
"The young man also advised him, but Mrs. Lu refused to listen." Liu Quan said helplessly. It is common for the servants to be punished, and there is no need for reasons. This is Chu Qiao, who was named by Yuan Xi, otherwise the others would have been severely punished long ago.
"Go and see" Yuan Xi stood up and headed towards the backyard.
At this time, in an elegant and luxurious villa in the backyard, Liu Ling, who had a shockingly big chest, looked at Lu Lingqi with a vicious face and Chu Qiao following him. She was a little scared, but her face was still calm and said: "Ling pays homage to my sister, I don't know what my sister has come."
Although Lu Lingqi entered the mansion later than her, her status was a fair wife and much higher than Liu Ling's concubine.
"Don't pretend, let me ask you, did you order the guards to beat Chu Qiao?" Lu Lingqi pulled out Chu Qiao with a conspicuous red mark on her face behind her and asked angrily.
Liu Ling frowned and said, "Sister, Chu Qiao not only beat the ginseng soup prepared by my family for the marquis, but also beat the maid, so I punished her."
"It was them who deliberately hit me and insulted Sister Lu," Chu Qiao immediately pointed to a woman with an extraordinary appearance behind Liu Ling and said angrily.
"Chu Qiao, don't be wronged casually. My chest still hurts now," Li Rong immediately fought back.
"Rareless, I haven't let you speak yet. What qualifications are you a maid who has to speak? Come and drag it out to beat me?" Lu Lingqi's face appeared and she immediately ordered.
Hearing this, Liu Ling immediately stood in front of him and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, what do you mean? Although your status is higher than Ling, you cannot beat my maid like this for no reason."
"Get out of here." Lu Lingqi is Lu Bu's only daughter. Since elementary school, she pushed Liu Ling away with a slight pull. Liu Ling didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but accidentally fell directly to the ground.
At this time, Yuan Xi happened to take Liu Quan in. After seeing this scene, he immediately looked at Lu Lingqi and said sternly: "Rareless"
Lu Lingqi was shocked. After seeing that it was Yuan Xi, she fell down with fear. Liu Ling crawled to Yuan Xi with tears in her face and cried, "Mr. Marquis, you have to be the master of my family!"
"Qi'er, you don't understand the rules too much," Yuan Xi said unhappily.
"I didn't mean it," Lu Lingqi said aggrievedly.
Yuan Xi sighed, looked at Chu Qiao with an uneasy expression, and said sternly: "Come here, take Chu Qiao down and be imprisoned for two days."
Chu Qiao's face turned pale, her silver teeth bit, and she looked at Yuan Xi with grievance. Lu Lingqi quickly said, "Husband, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Chu Qiao. She beat people for my reputation."
"It's okay. As a maid, Chu Qiao actually beats the maid. Who gave her this right? You don't know whether to distinguish between public and private affairs. For this reason, it makes the inner courtyard uneasy. You go back and think about it carefully." Yuan Xi accused.
"I'm right, they messed with me," Chu Qiao suddenly shouted unwillingly.
"Chu Qiao, you are arrogant, how can you talk to the marquis like this?" Liu Quan said anxiously.
Yuan Xi walked towards Chu Qiao step by step with sharp eyes, but what she didn't expect was that Chu Qiao looked at him without fear at all, his eyes filled with grievances and sadness.
Looking at the loyalty value of up to 95, Yuan Xi said coldly: "You are becoming less and less ignorant of the rules. Believe it or not, Xi will take your name back."
Chu Qiao was shocked all over and was sad and silently lowered her head.
"What makes my husband so angry!" At this moment, Zhen Mi, who was erect, walked in slowly with Gu Yun's careful support.
"Meet the Grandma" everyone except Yuan Xi quickly said.
Seeing that Zhen Mi was coming, Yuan Xi immediately came over and said softly: "Mi'er, why are you here? Be careful of your health?"
"As the lord of the backyard, I will come and see if something happens." Zhen Mi smiled and looked at Liu Ling, who had stopped crying and had a little nervous expression, and said gently: "Sister Liu, are you okay!"
"It's okay, sister." Liu Ling quickly stood up. Zhen Mi is not Lu Lingqi. Not to mention her skills, the more important thing is the identity of a wife and Yuan Xi's boundless favor for her. It can be said that the only woman in the mansion can influence Yuan Xi.
"Then give my sister a face, forget it this time, Chu Qiao, my sister will teach her well," said Zhen Mi.
Liu Ling was shocked. Although she was reluctant, she really did not dare to offend Zhen Mi. She lowered her head and said, "Listen to my sister."
"Okay, girl Chu, come here," Zhen Mi waved.
"Madam" Chu Qiao ran over with gratitude, her eyes full of respect.
"You! Be more careful in the future and don't cause trouble for Sister Yun, do you know?" Zhen Mi reminded.
"I understand, madam." Chu Qiao nodded heavily.
Looking at Zhen Mi who was so slutty, Yuan Xi smiled bitterly, but didn't say much, because he was even more partial to Zhen Mi.
"Sister Lu, we haven't had a good chat yet. You can go back with me," Zhen Mi continued.
After being stunned, Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "Yes, sister."
Although she is sometimes impulsive, she still respects Zhen Mi, a beautiful, gentle and kind lady.
"Husband, then we'll go back first," Zhen Mi said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll see you in the evening," Yuan Xi said softly. Zhen Mi nodded with a smile. Under the support of Lu Lingqi, Zhen Mi and Chu Qiao, he slowly left with him.
Yuan Xi shook his head, looked at Liu Ling, who looked aggrieved next to him, and walked over to comfort him, "Don't be sad, this matter will be compensated for you."
A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Ling's face. He hurriedly held Yuan Xi's arm, and his peaks kept rubbing, "Thank you, husband."
"Haha" Yuan Xi smiled loudly, hugged Liu Ling and headed towards the inner room.
At about dusk, Yuan Xi walked out of Liu Ling's room with a refreshing spirit, tidied up her clothes, and headed towards the inner hall. While walking on the road, Yuan Xi said seriously to Liu Quan beside her, "Liu Quan, let Zhang Nan come here."
"General Zhang" Liu Quan's pupils shrank.
Yuan Xi said seriously: "Xi wants to see what the hell is Chu Qiao? She is no longer suitable to be a maid."
Brothers, Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in the new year!!
