Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The maid named Susu saw that her eldest daughter spoke ruthlessly to the two cousins, and the two cousins ​​did not refute her. She thought that they must be easy to take advantage of.

Susu thought that she was just a maid, and now that she had broken the blue and white dragon and phoenix vase, the eldest lady would definitely not let her off easily. Even if she was not beaten to death, she would definitely suffer all kinds of torture.

Now that there is someone ready to take the blame, she naturally will not miss this opportunity.

Tao Jiuxi didn't want to pay any attention to these groundless accusations and didn't stop at all.

Xie Yuhua heard this and realized that the two men had broken the blue and white dragon and phoenix vase she was going to give to her grandmother. They were even planning to leave. Furious, she ordered the maid, "Stop them."

Several maids immediately stepped forward and blocked the two men's steps from leaving.

The sister behind Xie Yuhua was about to step forward and say something, but was scolded by Xie Yuhua and stepped back. She was there, so how could others have the right to speak?

"Stop! Did you break the blue and white dragon and phoenix vase I gave to my grandmother?"

Seeing this, Tao Qingwan hurriedly explained, "Sister Yuhua, when Jiuxi and I arrived here, the porcelain vase was already broken. We only helped out out of kindness when we saw your maid picking up the pieces."

"You're trying to help me? You didn't break it, so why would you help me?"

When Tao Jiuxi saw that she and her sister were stopped, she was so angry that she laughed. She really wanted to go to Jian'an Temple again, worship the gods, and stay away from these speechless people.

First, the maid wanted her to take the blame, and then she heard Xie Yuhua say this.

"why are you laughing?"

"You're ridiculous." Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi slowly turned around and stared straight at Xie Yuhua.

"What are you talking about!" Xie Yuhua was furious.

"Isn't it ridiculous that you get provoked by a maid's random words?"

Su Su, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately seized the opportunity to say, "If it wasn't broken by my cousin, even though I'm just staying here, I'm still a hostess. Why would I be picking up pieces of porcelain here?"

There was a glimmer of cunning in Susu's eyes, as if she was determined to put all the blame on Tao Jiuxi.

"Susu has no grudge against you in the past or in the present. Would she wrongly accuse you for no reason?" Xie Yuhua, who already disliked Tao Jiuxi, immediately joined in.

"There are so many things that you cannot understand." Tao Jiuxi felt that his kindness was taken for granted, and a feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart.

She really didn't expect that her good deed would be exploited by others.

"Sister Yuhua, it really wasn't us sisters who broke it." Seeing this, Tao Qingwan hurried forward to help explain.

"You two sisters are the only ones here. How could I wrongly accuse you? No one can leave until this matter is resolved today."

Tao Qingwan was about to explain again but was stopped by Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi said to Susu, "You insist that I broke it, so tell us what happened in detail."

Su Su responded, "I was ordered by my cousin to fetch the blue-and-white dragon-and-phoenix vase from Qingmeng Garden and deliver it to Yayun Cottage. On the way... on the way, my silk belt loosened a little, so I placed the wooden tray containing the vase on the ground. My cousin must have stumbled over and, not noticing the vase, kicked it over."

"You dropped it on the ground and kicked it over?"

"Every word this servant said is true."

"Okay." Tao Jiuxi said, and then turned to Xie Yuhua and said, "Is there a cheaper vase in the mansion? Or a porcelain jar will do."

"What do you want these for?"

"Find two here, and I'll tell you what the difference is between the fragments of something that was dropped while being held and the ones that were knocked to the ground." Tao Jiuxi pointed to the porcelain pieces scattered on the ground.

"Actually, you don't have to smash two more vases. Today I'll teach you a trick. If you're standing and drop a vase, there's usually a relatively fixed point of impact. The force radiates from that point, causing the shards to scatter radially. If it's on the ground and someone kicks it, the shards won't scatter so widely."

Although Xie Yuhua did not fully understand what Tao Jiuxi said, after careful observation, he found that the porcelain pieces were indeed scattered all over the floor. If it had really been kicked to the ground, it would definitely not look like this.

At this moment, Xie Yuhua only wanted someone to compensate her with a new blue and white dragon and phoenix vase.

Susu was just a maid. Even if she was beaten to death, she couldn't afford one thousand taels of silver to buy a blue and white dragon and phoenix vase to compensate Xie Yuhua.

Seeing Susu lowering her head and saying nothing, Xie Yuhua immediately said:

"What you said is just your guess. Even if it is as you said, it may just be a coincidence."

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that it was definitely me who broke this blue and white dragon and phoenix vase? If you think it was me, then produce the evidence. If you can't produce it, don't frame others at will." Tao Jiuxi spoke word by word with a firm tone, without any fear.

Xie Yuhua originally thought that Tao Jiuxi would be like her sister Tao Qingwan, well-educated and gentle in nature.

But she never thought that Tao Jiuxi would dare to speak to her like this.

At that moment, she felt that her dignity as the eldest daughter of the Xie family had been trampled upon, and anger suddenly surged in her heart.

"This is the Xie Mansion, my home. You are just people who have nowhere else to go and have come here to stay. I said you broke the vase, so it must be you."

Tao Jiuxi's mind suddenly popped up the words of the domineering president: "I don't care what you think, I care what I think."

"He's not stupid, he's a bad guy. Tell me, what do you want?" Tao Jiuxi had a sneer on her lips. She had already seen that Xie Yuhua just wanted to rely on her.

"I asked someone to find this blue and white dragon and phoenix vase, and it cost me one thousand and two taels of silver. You must compensate me today." Xie Yuhua said.

Tao Jiuxi understood that it was all for money.

"A vase costs so much as one thousand taels?" Tao Jiuxi said in feigned surprise.

"You are the daughter of a county magistrate, and you come from a small place like Shu. Naturally, you don't understand the price of these vases."

"Since you know I come from a small town, how dare you ask for such a high price and blackmail me?"

"What did you say?"

"Are you hard of hearing? You have to ask twice. I'm telling you, you're blackmailing me."

"Tao Jiuxi, this is the Xie Mansion, not a place where you can act recklessly." Xie Yuhua's eyes were wide open, and his voice was full of majesty.

"Whether in your Xie Mansion or anywhere else, I say the same thing. Before you produce evidence, be careful with your words and don't frame others at will." Tao Jiuxi looked at Xie Yuhua's domineering look and knew in his heart that if he gave in at this moment, she would definitely not let it go.

She took Tao Qingwan's hand and prepared to leave this place of trouble.

"Stop them."

The maids looked at each other with hesitation in their expressions, and for a moment they did not dare to stop him.

What is happening right now is clearly an injustice to the two sisters.

Moreover, they knew very well that these two cousins ​​were brought back by the young master himself, and he took great care of them on weekdays.

"If you don't obey, I'll sell you all out."

Upon hearing this, the maids rushed forward and grabbed Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan's hands.

Tao Jiuxi was filled with anger at this moment and just wanted to slap him.

However, her arms were held tightly by the maids and she could not move.

Tao Jiuxi was naturally not afraid of Xie Yuhua, as Tao Qingwan had already told her about the situation in the Xie Mansion.

Her uncle Xie Mi was a third-rank official, and her father Tao Hongyuan was a fourth-rank official, but he had just been personally conferred an honor by the emperor.

Although she doesn't know her father's whereabouts at the moment, Xie Yuhua would never dare to hurt her easily because of her identity.

Although Tao Jiuxi was unwilling to use her father's reputation to bully others, she felt that it was completely feasible to use the power to protect herself in this situation.
