Chapter 18
"Why am I watching? Qi Ce deliberately threw the sachet on the ground?" After the flower tree, Liang Yingfang leaned into Fu Rong's ear and whispered, "Can Qi Ce take a fancy to Bai Zhi?"
Fu Rong nodded sarcastically, "It's really romantic."
Just now, the two of them walked back slowly after soaking in the pool. When they walked here, they saw Qi Ce standing at the intersection without moving. Fu Rong vaguely guessed something, and quickly pulled Liang Yingfang to hide his figure and peeped with breath. Because they were hiding on the side, Qi Ce Bai Zhi's actions and expressions were visible. Qi Ce's sachet fell from his cuff after Bai Zhi fell to the ground.
Fu Rong thought that Qi Ce was so smart that it was impossible to provoke Bai Zhi before marrying her sister. It was too risky. This time, he mostly planned to conquer Bai Zhi first and then use Bai Zhi to find an opportunity to approach her sister.
Just for the sake of her sister's reputation, even Liang Yingfang could not tell her the truth.
Awkward and annoyed, Fu Rong stared at Bai Zhi's leaving back fiercely and gritted his teeth: "Looking at her blushing face, she clearly likes Qi Ce. It's fine if she likes her secretly, but she dares to hide men's things. When someone finds out, outsiders will only say that my sister is not disciplined strictly. She... it's because my sister trusts her so much!"
Liang Yingfang patted her hand gently, thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, maybe Bai Zhi just picked it up first, and may not intend to hide it privately. We might as well... She still refuses to hand it over, so let's tell Sister Wan again."
The two coincided, but Fu Rong was shocked and looked at Liang Yingfang with admiration: "Look at you being careless and you are not very careful at all."
Liang Yingfang spat at her: "Everyone is as stupid as you, and you can't tell if some people smile."
Fu Rong knew that she was talking about Qi Zhu, but she really couldn't remember when Qi Zhu had cheated her, so she had to fool her. Anyway, she didn't treat Qi Zhu as a good sister, so she could just live up to her face.
Fu Rong had to swim in the afternoon, and this time she pulled Fu Wan over. Since Qi Ce had a way to avoid Brother Liang Tong's actions alone, Fu Rong was afraid that he would be too arrogant and act more excessively.
Maybe I really wanted to learn it. It took only a day and a half to learn Fu Rong to learn water. In Liang Yingfang's words, as long as the place where the water falls is not too far from the shore, there is no problem with Fu Rong himself going ashore, and it will not be a day to master it.
Fu Rong happily went to Fu Chen to show off, and asked Fu Chen and the others what they had done during the day, chattering, and they were in front of them until dinner time to go back to the backyard with Liang Yingfang.
Fu Wan was already waiting for them in the main hall, "Go and wash your hands quickly and have a meal."
Bai Zhi stood behind her to serve her, smiling slightly, looking no different from usual.
Fu Rong and Liang Yingfang looked at each other and washed their hands first. After coming back and sat down, Fu Rong suddenly remembered and asked Lanxiang: "Young Master was walking around the garden during the day and fell in a blue silk sachet. Have you seen it when you went to the garden?"
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Why did the girl forget? I have been repairing your skirt that you scratched yesterday when I listened to the girl's instructions. I have never been out."
Fu Rong suddenly realized and blinked at Fu Wan: "Sister is right. You can't soak in the pool all the time. Look, I'm so stupid."
Fu Wan dripped her tender tofu-like face and asked Bai Zhi casually: "Did you see it when you went out?"
Bai Zhi shook her head calmly: "No, I went to Qingquan Pavilion to walk the same way with the two girls. We didn't see it. Maybe the young master has fallen elsewhere, right?"
But I knew in my heart that it was probably because Qi Ce had lost his sachet and wanted to find it. The young master was afraid that the girls or the maids around him would be inappropriate to pick it up, so he lied that he had lost it. No matter what, he couldn't admit it. She never went out again after coming back at noon. Now he admits, how could she explain the fact that she had picked it up for half a day but didn't hand it over?
Fu Rong had long guessed that she would say this and lowered her head to drink the soup.
Liang Yingfang ordered his maids: "Go and ask the mothers and maids who serve in the backyard to see if there are any picks, and those who pick them up will be rewarded."
The maid went there immediately, and she was about to dark and came back, but she was fruitless.
Liang Yingfang's face was not very good-looking, and she had red eyes and apologized to her sister Fu Wan: "I didn't care about them well. The sachets would not fly. I must have been picked up by someone. I don't know which one has shallow eyelids, and I would also hide a sachet, which would make me embarrassed in front of Sister Wan." As she said that, she sat on the chair in anger and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Fu Wan was anxious and put her in her shoes. She was embarrassed by this kind of servant. Therefore, she understood Liang Yingfang's shame even more and said softly: "Don't think too much. My brother is used to being careless. He may have put things in some corner. I think no one can see them, so he will cry? Don't learn the strong, and you will lose gold lumps in any small matter."
All the bad things were touched by him. Fu Rong refused to do so and went forward to scratch Fu Wan's armpits. Liang Yingfang burst into tears and laughed.
The three of them slept together again at night, and set off early the next day to go down the mountain, and after entering the city, they all went back to their homes.
On the way home, Fu Rong explained what happened yesterday clearly. Finally, he held his sister's hand and whispered: "I'm afraid that my sister would be embarrassed when she sees Yingfang, so she deliberately waited for her to leave before saying that if the other sisters believe it or not, just look back and interrogate Bai Zhi. I will just say one more thing, sister, Yingfang and I understand this very clearly. It's all Bai Zhi's fault. Sister, don't blame yourself."
Fu Wan's face was a little pale. She didn't want to believe that people around her would do that, but she had to believe it. Her sister had no reason to frame a maid who had no grudge against her. If she had a grudge, her sister didn't need to be mysterious. She could get rid of Bai Zhi by just talking to her. She was just a maid, and no matter how sensible she was, she could not compare to her own sister.
After getting off the carriage, Fu Wan took the excuse to change her clothes first, and whispered to her mother and sister who came out to pick them up, and led Bai Zhi back to her Haitangwu.
"Girl, I'll go and put down my burden." Bai Zhi said with a smile, and she also brought two clothes to change her clothes.
"Wait," Fu Wan called her and signaled the two little maids to go down with her eyes, leaving only another big maid Bai Ting next to her. Then she sat on the couch and stared at Bai Zhi and said, "Miss Three Girls saw you with the eldest son of the Qi family yesterday, but really?"
Bai Zhi's face turned pale.
She was somewhat scheming to be a maid. If the girl asked her this yesterday, she would not have been so surprised. But the third girl clearly saw it, but she deliberately said that the sachet belonged to the young master, and obviously she was suspicious of her.
How much did the third girl see and how did she tell the girl?
Bai Zhi didn't dare to look at Fu Wan, and lowered her head to think about the best words, but Fu Wan saw her guilt in her eyes. She immediately became ten points, and she would never show any mercy again. She ordered Bai Ting to search Bai Zhi's baggage, but if she couldn't find it, she would search her body.
"Miss, I'm wrong!" Seeing that I couldn't hide it anymore, Bai Zhi knelt down and kowtowed to admit her mistake, "I'm obsessed with it. Seeing that the sachet of the eldest son of the Qi family is an authentic Shu embroidery, which is worth at least a few taels of silver, I became greedy. Girl punished me, I knew it was wrong!"
Fu Wan sneered: "Just because it's valuable?"
At this moment, she still talked nonsense, treating her as a three-year-old child? Last night, Liang Yingfang was so embarrassed that she cried and didn't see her hand over the thing, or she secretly put it back, which shows how reluctant she was to leave that thing.
She had seen Qi Ce, handsome and talented, and many girls secretly admired her. Fu Wan was not stupid, and she could guess something from the attitude of the old lady Qi, but the matter was not decided, and she thought she didn't know. She didn't expect that the maid around her would first move, and she didn't expect that Qi Ce, who looked like a gentleman, was actually a man of a flirting person, deliberately hitting someone. If her sister hadn't happened to see him yesterday, the two would have hooked up and their relationship would be exposed in the future. Her master, she, would not be clean.
Bai Zhi also wanted to explain, but Fu Wan didn't want to listen anymore, so she ordered Bai Ting to call two tyrants to come.
Bai Zhi instantly had no blood on her face, and she climbed up to Fu Wan with her knees, and kowtowed while crying, without any luck: "Miss, don't sell me, I'm the truth, it's because I don't follow the rules and imagine the eldest son of the family. Please spare me, for the sake of serving the girl since I was a child, girl..."
She kowtowed hard, and her forehead soon turned red.
Fu Wan said nothing, and only kept silent for a moment when Bai Ting and others came in, she let the two women go out again, stood up and turned her back to Bai Zhi and said, "You have served me for so many years. You acted without regard for my reputation, but I can't sell you cruelly. Thinking that you are the first offender, go back to pack up your things, I will tell my wife that you will be free, and from now on you have nothing to do with our Fu family."
After saying that, he left with a blank face.
Fu Rong heard Lan Xiang say that her sister just drove Bai Zhi away, and she was a little unwilling to accept it. But when she thought about it carefully, her sister was still alive, and whether Bai Zhi was dead or alive was not so important. Besides, her sister was soft-hearted. Bai Zhi had not made an irreparable mistake. After all, she had been with her for so many years, and it was reasonable for her sister to be gentle.
Before dusk, Bai Zhi boarded a passenger ship heading south under the care of Fu Family Department and headed to her hometown in Huzhou. As for whether her woman could return home safely, no one cared.
When Fu Pinyan came back in the evening, Qiao called him to the inner room and whispered, "Wanwan has experienced very little, so she just thought Qi Ce had thought about Bai Zhi, but I think that Qi Ce wanted to steal and fishy, and even looked down on her."
How could Fu Pinyan not have imagined this level?
"Looking at the calm and talented, I didn't expect to be a self-righteous person. Even if you use such despicable means to get close to Sister Wan, you will never be a good match. In the future, the Qi family will post again, and you will try to push them all. If you really can't take only two young people, Sister Wan can't go."
Qiao's plan was the same.
Fu Wan sent a maid and did not cause any storm in Xindu City, which at most caused some young sisters to wonder what Bai Zhi had made, and would throw it behind in a few days.
But for those who are interested, the meaning is different.
Qi Ce knew it first. After thinking about it, he guessed that Bai Zhi had hidden a man's sachet and was probably known, but he didn't know if he had ever brought it up.
He secretly observed Fu Chen's reaction when he saw him.
Fu Chen was just as he had ever been, and Qi Ce was still worried. Maybe Qiao Fu Wan did not mention Fu Chen about the backyard?
After the Dragon Boat Festival, he hinted his sister to invite the Fu sisters to come, but was rejected by Qiao on the grounds of the heat.
Qi Ce frowned. Even if Bai Zhi said that the sachet was his, the Fu family didn't know that he had it on purpose, so why bother him?
In the Su Palace in the capital, some people also pondered at the window.
After reading the news that his subordinates intercepted Bai Zhi and asked about it, Xu Jin still couldn't understand why the incident between Bai Zhi and Qi Ce was caught by Fu Rong this time, and there was no one in his previous life? If so, Fu Wan would not die in his previous life.
After rebirth, all things in the capital were the same as in my memory, only in Jizhou, where changes occurred one after another. If he hadn't been to the pit for her before, she would probably have changed her appearance now, a girl who did not wear flower ornaments.
"Give me instructions and keep abreast of your attention."
Xu Jin originally planned that once Qi Ce proposed marriage, he would ask his subordinates to "invit" Qi Ce to the best romantic scene in the capital, so that Fu Pinyan, who loved his daughter, would reject the marriage and help his future princess protect his legitimate sister. He also thought about getting Bai Zhi away, but since Qi Ce had defeated Fu Wan, it was obvious that he was not a good match, so it was better not to marry. But now, Bai Zhi was sent by Fu Wan in advance, so he wanted to see if he didn't take action, would Qi Ce and Fu Wan still come together? If not, where is the difference between the two lives?
"Prince, what should I do with that maid?"
"die."
