Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Xie Qingyao was the first to complain, and Old Madam Xie was furious. She ordered Nanny Xu to bring Xie Qingli over.

Naturally, Aunt Xu did not dare to be disrespectful to Xie Qingli, and politely invited Xie Qingli to Songhe Hall.

Old Madam Xie knew that it was Xie Qingli who saved her life when she was unconscious that day, and Xie Qingli's outstanding appearance made her extremely satisfied.

But Xie Qingli was so vicious at such a young age that he actually harmed his sisters and almost destroyed the ace that the Marquis' Mansion had carefully cultivated. Her good impression of Xie Qingli vanished in an instant.

"Snapped!"

When Xie Qingli walked into Songhe Hall, a teacup shattered in front of her, and sharp fragments scattered all over the floor.

Madam Xie's tactic of taking the initiative did not work. She thought Xie Qingli would be frightened and tremble, kneeling down to beg for mercy, but Xie Qingli looked calm, carefully dodged the debris on the ground, and sat down gracefully on the chair.

Madam Xie was filled with rage and sternly shouted, "Evil creature, kneel down!"

Xie Qingli looked at Old Madam Xie and said slowly, "Grandma, I don't know what Li'er did wrong to make you so angry, but anger is harmful to your health, so your health is more important!

She glanced at Xie Qingyao and said softly, "As the saying goes, 'Listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be blinded.' Grandmother shouldn't just listen to one side of the story. Even if you want to punish Li'er, you should make sure Li'er understands why he's being punished and makes him sincerely convinced."

Old Madam Xie snorted coldly, "You're such a silver-tongued person! You actually dared to use the saying 'listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be blinded' to stop me!" She said in a deep voice, "Didn't you trick Yao'er into leaving the house with you? Didn't you lure her into your trap?"

Xie Qingli pointed at Xie Qingyao and asked in surprise, "Grandma, are you talking about her when you say Yao'er?" She sneered, "Li'er knows that I grew up in the countryside and am not favored by Grandma! But Grandma uses such an outrageous reason to punish Li'er, and I refuse to accept it! Li'er dares to swear to heaven that I have never spoken to her since returning home, so how can I say I am trying to coax her?"

Xie Qingli's expression did not seem fake. Old Madam Xie looked at the two of them hesitantly. In comparison, she would of course prefer to believe Xie Qingyao, whom she had watched grow up!

Xie Qingyao grabbed Old Lady Xie's arm and choked out, "Grandmother, don't listen to her excuses. This morning she tricked me into going out with her in the garden. My maid Luqi can testify to that."

Xie Qingli sneered: "My maid Leng Shuang is with me, she can also testify for me!"

Old Madam Xie's head began to swell. The two men each insisted on their own story and used their maid as a witness, which gave her a headache.

As the two sides reached a stalemate, Xie Qingli suddenly spoke softly, "Grandma, I walked around the garden this morning and then went out the back door to the street. I remember there was a fat, dark-skinned maid weeding in the flowerbed next to the rockery, and there were also two women guarding the back door. They both saw me, so you can ask them to testify on my behalf."

Aunt Xu interrupted, "The maid Miss Li'er was referring to is Xiaohong, who manages the flowers and trees. The ones on duty at the back door today are Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li."

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingli was able to find a witness. Xie Qingyao's face froze slightly, and she said anxiously, "Grandma, these people might have been bribed by Li'er's sister. Don't believe what they say!"

Xie Qingli sneered, "If Li'er, a country girl who just returned home a few days ago, can bribe so many servants in the Marquis' Mansion, then you, the eldest daughter who has lived a life of luxury in the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years, can't you make the entire mansion obey you?"

Xie Qingyao's face turned pale and she said angrily: "You..."

Xie Qingli didn't give her a chance to speak, but turned to look at Old Madam Xie and said in a deep voice, "If Grandma doesn't believe these people, you can ask the other servants. Someone must have seen us."

Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Qingyao coldly and said in a cold voice: "No need, call these three people over!" Madam Xu took the order and left.

While waiting, Xie Qingyao lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hand. She had deceived her grandmother, and she would definitely be unhappy. How should she deal with this? But her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of any countermeasures.

Her eyes were misty, and she complained to Aunt Hua why she had taken leave for so many days and still hadn't come back. It would have been better if Aunt Hua was here.

After a while, Aunt Xu came in with three people. They were Xiaohong, who was in charge of the flowers and trees, and the two gatekeepers.

As servants in the Marquis's mansion, the three had never been inside their master's house. The opulence of Songhe Hall dazzled them, leaving them trembling with fear, unsure of where to put their hands and feet. Seeing Old Madam Xie, seated at the head with a solemn expression, the three, not knowing what they had done wrong, fell to their knees with a few thuds.

Madam Xie pointed at Xie Qingyao and Xie Qingli and asked in a deep voice, "Did you three see the two young ladies talking together and going out together this morning?"

Xiao Hong hurriedly said, "This morning, while I was weeding in the garden, I saw Miss Li'er and her maid pass by first. A little later, I saw Miss Da and Sister Luqi pass by. I didn't see Miss Li'er talking to Miss Da, but it seemed like, it seemed like..."

Madam Xie's face was as gloomy as water, and she asked coldly, "Like what?"

Xiao Hong kowtowed and said, "This servant may have seen it wrongly. It seems that the eldest lady is secretly following Miss Li'er."

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li also nodded and said hurriedly, "We also saw the two young ladies leave the house one after the other."

What else did Old Lady Xie not understand? She glanced at Xie Qingyao with disappointment and waved her hand: "Everyone, get out!" The three people on the ground helped each other up and crawled out.

Madam Xie suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "Li'er, there's nothing for you to do here anymore. Go back!"

Xie Qingli remained motionless, speaking softly, "When I was in the countryside, I often heard the elders say that elders should be impartial and fair. Now that I've been wrongly accused, please, Grandmother, help me."

Old Madam Xie was so angry that her heart ached. She hated Xie Qingli's mouth and angrily asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Qingli smiled softly, "Li'er has no other requests. When Li'er came in just now, Grandmother thought Li'er was at fault and asked Li'er to kneel down. Now that it's proven that Li'er is not at fault, it's natural that the one who made the mistake should kneel down."

Xie Qingyao was furious when she heard this: "How can you be right? It's obviously you who colluded with those beggars!"

Xie Qingli's lips curled slightly as she said calmly, "It seems your plan failed, and you still want to continue throwing dirty water on me!" She turned to look at Old Madam Xie and said, "Grandma, the only way now is to report Li'er to the authorities to prove her innocence!"

Old Madam Xie slammed the table and shouted angrily, "That's enough! How long are you going to make this fuss?" She pushed Xie Qingyao and shouted coldly, "Kneel down!"

Xie Qingyao didn't dare to say anything else. She knelt on the ground. The sharp fragments of the teacup pierced her knees and she burst into tears.

Old Madam Xie felt distressed. She looked up at Xie Qingli and said angrily, "Are you satisfied with this? You're so unreasonable at such a young age. Be careful that the consequences will outweigh the gains!"

Xie Qingli stood up slowly and said softly, "Li'er thanks grandma for your teachings! Everything Li'er did today was forced by the situation! Li'er will take her leave!" She bowed and walked out of Songhe Hall slowly.

Xie Qingyao hugged Old Lady Xie's legs and cried, "Grandma, Yao'er did follow Xie Qingli, but what she said later was not a lie. She really knew those beggars!"

Old Madam Xie frowned and signaled Madam Xu to help Xie Qingyao up. Could this idiot really bring glory to the Marquis' Mansion instead of disaster in the future?

She said slowly, "Yao'er, go back and rest first. Next time if you have anything to say, tell grandma directly. If you make a fool of yourself like today again..."

Xie Qingyao quickly shook her head: "Grandma, Yao'er will never dare to lie to you again! Yao'er only lied today because she was jealous of Xie Qingli..."

Old Madam Xie no longer wanted to listen to Xie Qingyao and waved her hand, signaling her to leave.

Finally, it was quiet. Madam Xie ordered someone to call Luqi, and Luqi explained the whole story in detail.

Old Madam Xie rubbed her swollen head. Neither of her two granddaughters was easy to deal with. But even so, she still had to suppress her anger and clean up the mess for Xie Qingyao.

Old Lady Xie summoned the housekeeper, who arranged for the servants to take Luqi to find the beggars and try to recover Xie Qingyao's lost belongings. If a girl's belongings fell into the wrong hands, her reputation would be ruined!

……

Yaofang Pavilion.

Xie Qingyao got furious when she came back, and this time the ones who suffered were Hong Shang and Lan Ying.

Suddenly, a little maid rushed in. It was Xiaotao, the little maid who came to report the news last time.

Seeing Hongchang and Lanying kneeling on the ground, covered in wounds, Xiaotao was so frightened that she stammered, "Miss, I, I overheard the maids in Yingxueju whispering today. Tomorrow, tomorrow the Jiang Mansion is holding a banquet..."
