Traveling to the ancient harem

Xu Rou sobbed, "Today, Rouer was watching the scenery on the mountain. Qiudie walked faster and almost bumped into the young lady of the Huang Mansion. Who knew that although the young lady was young, she was a spoiled girl and hit Qiudie without any explanation. Rouer knew that she had to maintain the reputation of the Bo Mansion outside, so she argued with her and wanted an explanation. Not only did the young lady not apologize, she also slandered Qiudie for deliberately bumping into her. Rouer argued with her, but she actually spoke ill of us and threatened to sue us at the government office." Xu Rou's eyes became redder and redder, "It's okay for Rouer to be wronged, but the reputation of our Bo Mansion has been trampled on. What can we do?"

"Bang." Madam Bo slapped the table with her hand. "This is outrageous. I wonder which Huang family this is."

"It's the Huang Shilang family, where only one daughter is born in every ten generations." Xu Rou continued to wipe her tears.

Xu Rou's mother was shaking with anger. "How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

"Tell Wen'er to ask that Minister Huang tomorrow. People from my uncle's mansion are not so easy to bully." Lady Bo looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "I will not accept it if the Huang family does not apologize."

"Not appropriate." The old uncle waved his hand. "The Huang family is a century-old family. They have served in the court for generations. The minister is also highly valued by the current emperor. Now the girl's father has joined the Ministry of Revenue. I heard that he is working on some arithmetic reform. The Minister of Revenue attaches great importance to it. It is not appropriate for our family to make enemies."

"No matter how capable you are, can you ever be greater than the Earl's Mansion?" The Earl's wife sneered at the old uncle's words. He was just an old playboy who had spent his whole life eating, drinking and having fun with no future. If his daughter had not become the Queen and been blessed with the title of Marquis of Changning, who knows where he would be now.

The first lady was deeply troubled by the old lady. Ever since her daughter became the queen, the old lady had become even more stubborn and self-willed. She always did what others said and refused to listen to advice.

"Qiu Die, tell me what happened." The eldest lady didn't believe Xu Rou. She had been in charge of the household affairs for many years and knew her niece's character very well. When she was seven years old, she tortured a little girl to death. She had seen that the little girl had no good meat on her body. No one who saw it would believe that it was done by a seven-year-old girl. She reported it to the old lady, but the old lady said lightly: "A servant is dead, so what? It's not a big deal. It's better for a woman to have some means, so as not to suffer losses when she gets married in the future." After all, it was the family affairs of the second house, and the eldest lady couldn't intervene. She just hoped that she would not cause trouble and implicate the Bo Mansion in the future. However, after this incident, Xu Rou restrained herself a lot on the surface, but she was still the same behind the scenes.

"Madam, I just walked a little faster. It was not intentional. Everyone who followed me to the temple can testify to this." Qiu Die kowtowed. She said this according to Xu Rou's request. If she dared to disobey, she knew what would happen to her. There had been maids who had died in the yard before.

"Is it really the young lady from the Huang family who started this?" The eldest lady always felt it was not right. Her niece was always picky and stubborn, with a lot of tricks in her head, and she was so ruthless that it was possible that the maids did not dare to tell the truth.

"Aunt, you don't believe Rou'er anymore." Xu Rou's tears fell one by one, and she looked at the lady of the Bo family: "The prince's cousin also went to the temple today. If he knew about this, how would he look at our Bo family?"

Hearing that the prince was involved, the old lady became even angrier. She looked at the eldest lady and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, call Wen'er over now so I can talk about it. The reputation of the Bo's Mansion cannot be lost."

"Grandma, this matter is not a big deal. It is just a matter between two children. It is just a quarrel. If father is involved, people will say that our mansion is bullying others, which will also have a bad influence on my aunt in the palace."

"Then what do you think we should do?" When Mrs. Bo heard that it would affect her daughter, she immediately changed the subject. Their family would never let their daughter down.

"Here's what I thought. In a few days I'll go to a teahouse outside and book a private room. I'll invite Miss Huang to come over for tea and ask her to apologize to her sister in private. Maybe the two girls will become friends in the future. Grandma, what do you think?"

"No." Xu Rou immediately retorted, "Who would know if she apologized in private?" As the eldest sister, she was always a good person. Who knew who she would help in private? She didn't even dare to say that she helped that little bitch from the Huang family.

"Seventh sister." (Xu Rou is the seventh child) Xu Yuan stood up and walked to Xu Rou's side. She gently patted the back of Xu Rou's hand, lowered her head and whispered in her ear: "I guess it was Seventh sister who started it first, just like Miss Du. Seventh sister, if Grandmother knew that you lied to her, would she still love you as always?"

The two of them lowered their heads, and to others it looked like they were whispering.

"Seventh sister is a smart person. She has made a big deal out of this matter. Others will only say that our family is magnanimous. What do you think, sister?"
