Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy
Chapter 62: The People in the Marquis' Mansion
Since getting off the carriage, Xie Qingli's attention has been on Jiang Muxue. When the mocking voice sounded, she looked back and swept her eyes over everyone in the Marquis' Mansion one by one.
The mother and daughter of the second house, An, stood in the center of the crowd. It was Xie Qingqi, the legitimate daughter of the second house, who mocked Xie Qingli. An symbolically pulled Xie Qingqi, signaling her not to talk nonsense anymore. However, the expressions of the mother and daughter were exactly the same, with a hint of contempt in their arrogance.
Now that the Marquis's Mansion is run by her, An, and both Old Lady Xie and the Marquis rely on her, what is the Marquis's wife? Now, adding a country girl who is not favored by the Marquis' Mansion will only make it even more unbearable! She does not think that Xie Qingqi's actions are wrong!
Seeing Xie Qingli looking over, Xie Qingqi gave a provocative smile! She raised her head high. If Xie Qingyao was really a fake daughter, and the real daughter Xie Qingli was a country girl who was not presentable, then she, Xie Qingqi, would be the only true noble lady in the mansion. Who could compete with her?
The memories of those who used to surround Xie Qingyao and say flattering words to her suddenly came to her mind. She felt annoyed and couldn't help but turned her head to glare at Xie Qingyao.
Xie Qingyao stood beside Xie Qingqi. Her face was pale, her eyes fixed on Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli, her hands tightly twisted the handkerchief, and she did not notice Xie Qingqi's fierce gaze.
Madam Hua, standing beside Xie Qingyao, had a sullen expression on her face. Her sharp gaze swept across Xie Qingli before suddenly turning to Xie Qingqi. Xie Qingqi was immediately defeated as soon as she and Madam Hua made eye contact. She hurriedly turned back and leaned towards An.
Xie Qingman, the concubine's daughter from the second house, squeezed in behind Xie Qingqi and Xie Qingyao. She was still young and had to stand on tiptoe to see clearly ahead. When Xie Qingli glanced at her, she smiled ingratiatingly. In this family, all the girls were legitimate, and she was the only concubine. She didn't dare offend anyone.
Xing from the third house and her daughter Xie Qingrong were standing outside the crowd. They had a cold look on their faces, as if they were not part of the Marquis's Mansion.
Surrounding these masters are a bunch of maids and old women. They depend on their masters for their survival. The masters' attitude is their attitude. When the masters laugh, they laugh too. When the masters cry, their eyes are red. When the masters are disdainful, they hold their heads high with contempt. When the masters try to please them, they smile just the right amount. When the masters are indifferent, they watch coldly.
But in an instant, Xie Qingli swept his eyes over the group of people and saw their attitudes clearly.
She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She had thought that Xie Qingyao would be the one who couldn't wait to deal with her, but she didn't expect that the first one to jump out would be Xie Qingqi, the flatterer who followed Xie Qingyao in her previous life!
Xie Qingli let go of Jiang Muxue and walked up to Xie Qingqi. When everyone was wondering what she was going to do, she slapped Xie Qingqi hard in the face with a "slap". A palm print appeared on Xie Qingqi's fair face in an instant.
Xie Qingqi was stunned by the slap. She covered her hurt face and stared at Xie Qingli with wide eyes in shock, not knowing how to react.
An was the first to react. She pulled Xie Qingqi into her arms to protect her and angrily scolded Xie Qingli, "You bitch, you are so bold as to hit my daughter! My daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family. She has been raised in my hands since she was a child. How can you treat her like this?" As she said that, she reached out to hit Xie Qingli.
Xie Qingli dodged nimbly. She was surprised and said, "What? This girl is actually the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? I thought she was just some uneducated little maid!"
Her face flushed slightly, and she said with shame, "You are Second Aunt, right? Second Aunt, you don't know that in our countryside, if a girl is so ignorant of the rules in public and dares to mock her elders, her parents will use the family rules to discipline her. Otherwise, she will be considered uncultured and will never be able to get married!"
"Li'er saw that Second Aunt hadn't disciplined her just now and thought she was an ignorant little maid from some room in the mansion, so she couldn't help but teach her a lesson. Otherwise, these onlookers would say that the master of our mansion is not acting like a master, and the servants are not acting like servants."
Xie Qingli bowed to An and said aggrievedly, "I didn't realize she was Second Aunt's spoiled daughter. It's my fault for being so shortsighted. It's all my fault for growing up in the countryside and being so ignorant. I hope Second Aunt will be magnanimous and forgive me just this once..." As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, yet she secretly chuckled. Playing weak was a common tactic used by Xie Qingyao in her previous life, and it worked best against the An mother and daughter!
The onlookers burst into laughter. An was so angry that she was shaking all over. Xie Qingli was clearly accusing her of not educating her daughter well, but she didn't know how to refute!
Xie Qingqi broke free from An and took a step forward, one hand still covering her face. The other pointed at Xie Qingli and shouted, "You country girl, you're being unreasonable. I just mocked you for being a country bumpkin. Why do you say I'm mocking my elders?"
Xie Qingli's tears made Jiang Muxue sad. She stepped forward and pulled Xie Qingli behind her, saying in a deep voice, "Qi'er, stop talking! I just said the word 'mother'. You mocked me, weren't you? Besides, even if it was Li'er, what qualifications do you have to mock her?"
Jiang Muxue was always indifferent in her previous life. This was the first time Xie Qingli saw her speak so harshly. It felt so good to have her mother protecting her!
Xie Qingqi retorted loudly: "I didn't!" She glared at Xie Qingli: "You dare to hit me, I must hit you back today!" As she said that, she struggled forward.
Xie Qingli's tears flowed faster. She seemed to be frightened by the ferocious Xie Qingqi and hid behind Jiang Muxue.
Jiang Muxue stood in front of Xie Qingli, glaring at everyone in the Marquis' Mansion, and said coldly, "Today I want to see who dares to touch my daughter!"
She turned to Xie Qingqi and said sternly, "Li'er has been weak since childhood. How hard could her slap have been? Besides, she has already taken the initiative to admit her fault, and you were wrong first. Not only did you refuse to admit your fault, but you are also unwilling to give in. If we really want to argue, I think it's time to use the family rules of the Marquisate!"
Xie Qingqi was speechless. It was the first time she knew her aunt was so eloquent. Xie Qingli's slap made her face burn with pain. Although she was weak, she didn't dare to take her hand away from her face. If someone saw her swollen cheek in public, her image would be ruined!
She said to Jiang Muxue and Xie Qingli angrily, "You are bullying me. I am going to ask my grandmother for justice!" After that, she covered her face and ran into the mansion. The maids and old women who were blocking the door of the mansion tactfully made way for her!
Seeing her daughter run away, An glared at Jiang Muxue and said, "Sister-in-law, you are biased. Spoiling a child is like killing him!"
Jiang Muxue said calmly, "Oh? So my sister-in-law knows this sentence! I wanted to tell her this sentence, but it seems that there is no need!"
"You..." An didn't know what else to say. She swung her arms angrily and chased in the direction her daughter left. A large group of maids and old women followed her, and the entrance to the marquis's mansion was suddenly half empty.
Xie Qingyao tucked her hands into her sleeves and clenched them tightly. She felt a little panicked. She had thought she was just an ordinary village girl, but she had never expected such a formidable opponent! Xie Qingqi, that idiot, was so eager to be the first to take action, but this gave Xie Qingli the opportunity to show off his power!
Aunt Hua sensed Xie Qingyao's low mood and reached out to caress her slightly arched back. Xie Qingyao felt the comfort from Aunt Hua and straightened her back, secretly encouraging herself in her heart. Yes! She still had Aunt Hua, her grandmother, and her father. Xie Qingli was just a village girl, what was she?
On the other side, Jiang Muxue smiled and held Xie Qingli's hand. Just as they were about to return home, they heard the sound of horse hooves.
"Xu~~~~~"
Following the driver's long shout, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Marquis's mansion...
