Chapter 131 Two birds with one stone
Li Qingyou tidied up the clean room a little and came out. In fact, there was nothing to tidy up. She just squeezed out the water. After coming out, she said goodbye to Aunt Lan and went to find Wei Siqi and Adi.
Aunt Lan didn't hold her back much and asked someone to send her away.
Li Qingyou had just left here, and the maid who had been serving tea moved lightly to Aunt Lan, raised her hand, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Has everything been done?" Aunt Lan took the tea cup, "Did she find anything?"
The maid shook her head.
"Where's Wei Si?" Aunt Lan asked again.
The maid still shook her head and picked up the fan to help Aunt Lan blow the wind, "Don't worry, Auntie, the fourth lady didn't notice it either."
But you will find out soon.
Aunt Lan breathed a long sigh of relief and patted the back of the maid's hand, "Of course I feel relieved when you do things."
The weather was a bit hot, and people who are hot make people sleepy. Aunt Lan had no appetite for lunch, so she yawned, closed her eyes and rested on the imperial concubine's couch. She said casually, "When the Zhao family's father comes back in a few days, I will
I’ll take care of the wedding arrangements for you two.”
The Dalang of the Zhao family is the eldest son of Manager Zhao. He is twenty this year, a down-to-earth young man who works hard. These days he goes to Zhuangzi to collect rent.
After hearing no response for a long time, Aunt Lan opened her eyes and looked at the maid, only to see her in a daze, "Xiangxiu?"
The maid came back to her senses, saw Aunt Lan frowning slightly, and hurriedly said blessing her body. Seeing that Aunt Lan was still looking at her, she hesitated and said: "This servant is just confused. Since Aunt Lan changed her mind halfway, how can she let her go?"
The servant hid the veil on that woman?"
The woman she was talking about was Li Qingyou.
She had received the look from Aunt Lan before, and deliberately spilled the tea on Li Qingyou, and hid Miss Wei Si's handkerchief on her body while she was cleaning up in the clean room.
In this way, Lanxiangyuan was selected, but...
"Even if you want to hide it, you shouldn't just hide it with a handkerchief. The object is not worth much, and Li Qingyou is a woman. This..." Xiangxiu looked at Aunt Lan in confusion, "The jade pendant worn by Miss Fourth is from her last year.
Wouldn't it be better if the master gave it to me on my birthday?"
This old man refers to the commander of the capital of Wei, who is the biological father of Mr. Wei and Miss Wei Si. Although Miss Wei Si is a concubine, her mother Zhang is a noble concubine in the palace and is deeply loved by the commander of the capital.
, except that she is the main wife, so Miss Wei Si is also favored.
"Don't underestimate a handkerchief." Aunt Lan picked up the tea cup and took a sip, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Although this handkerchief itself is not valuable, if it falls into the hands of a foreigner, it will be a loss of honor.
When the time comes, she won’t be able to explain it clearly even if she has a hundred mouths.”
If Wei Si dares to do something dirty to her, then don't blame her for being rude.
"But wouldn't this be a lot of trouble?" Xiangxiu frowned in confusion, "How did my aunt know that Li Qingyou would give the veil to the foreigner? What if she found out and threw it away?"
Of course, it's unlikely that it was lost. Li Qingyou doesn't appear to be from a wealthy family. Miss Wei Si's handkerchief is made of fine silk. Not to mention the embroidery work, there are three silver things hanging on it.
The Li family was so poor, how could they be willing to throw away such a good thing? It was more likely that she kept it by herself.
But Li Qingyou is a woman.
In this case, the handkerchief plan would be meaningless.
"Why are you stupid?" Aunt Lan raised her orchid finger and poked Xiangxiu's head, "We don't need to wait until she finds the veil."
Xiangxiu is puzzled.
At this time, Aunt Lan's nap had passed, and she stood up and explained to her, "Li Qingyou had met Wei Si when she entered the house in the morning. Wei Si also humiliated her at that time. I heard from my servants that they
There seems to be something going on between the two."
"When this veil comes into Li Qingyou's hands, no matter whether she keeps it for others or for herself, people will suspect that she wants to ruin Wei Si's reputation. Otherwise, why would she not even want the gold hairpin I gave her, but go
Steal a veil?"
"Now I just hope that Wei Si will find out later. By the time Li Qingyou leaves the Wei Mansion, no one will believe her even if she says that the veil was not given to another man." Aunt Lan leaned back, "Let's wait and see.
The play is done.”
By then, Wei Si's reputation will be ruined, and Li Qingyou will be in trouble. Thinking about this plan of killing two birds with one stone is... exciting.
"If there is still no movement from Weisi in the evening, try to remind her." Aunt Lan yawned again. If she waited until Li Qingyou left Yuzhou Mansion or noticed something was wrong, it would be too late.
Although she and Li Qingyou only met once and didn't exchange a few words, she could feel that Li Qingyou was not stupid, but rather shrewd.
She didn't want such a clever plan to go to waste.
But it turned out that Aunt Lan was overly worried. As soon as Miss Wei Si returned home, she found that the handkerchief was missing. It was a newly embroidered handkerchief she had made, especially the silk silk that her father had given to her mother a few days ago. She liked it.
tight.
Thinking that she had just been to Lanxiangyuan, she came back angrily. Of course, half of the reason why she came back was because of Li Qingyou.
She was really unwilling to go away in despair after borrowing a knife to kill someone, so she had no choice but to take action herself. However, she did not believe that Aunt Lan was not worried at all, so she planned to come back and have a look.
Aunt Lan pretended not to know that Fourth Miss Wei's veil was lost, and asked the maids to search for it to no avail. Then she said, "Could it be that Fourth Sister accidentally left it somewhere and had Li Qingyou pick it up?"
This statement was full of loopholes. Miss Wei Si didn't see the handkerchief all the way back. When they were in Lanxiang Courtyard, Li Qingyou didn't come within one meter of her. Even if she picked it up, it wouldn't be her turn to pick it up.
But looking at Aunt Lan's fox-like gaze, Miss Wei Si understood most of it, knowing that Aunt Lan might have tampered with it.
Miss Wei Si was secretly resentful in her heart. She didn't expect that her plot against her would not work out, but she would be the one to set it up. However, since Aunt Lan said so, she must have already made arrangements.
Li Qingyou had just left for a while, so maybe she hadn't found the veil yet, but even if it was found on her body, her reputation as Miss Wei Si would be intact.
It just so happens that we can take the opportunity to attack Li Qingyou.
As for Aunt Lan, wait until she has finished cleaning up Li Qingyou before settling the accounts with her.
Thinking of this, Miss Wei Si had some concerns in her mind, and turned around to look for Li Qingyou aggressively.
Aunt Lan wanted to watch the show, so naturally she followed closely behind her, and she was able to add fuel to the fire at the critical moment.
As a result, a group of female relatives rushed towards Mozhuyuan...
Mozhu Courtyard is Wei Siqi's courtyard. When Li Qingyou followed the maid here, Wei Siqi was not here, so she asked the boy in the yard, "Have you seen my brother? He's the one who came in the morning. He's about this tall."
Li Qingyou made a gesture on his shoulder.
