  Chapter 15 Accountability

  In the Ruyi Hall of the Shaoqing Mansion, the old lady glanced at the sky, her face was a little gloomy: "Young girl Qingqing, why haven't you come back yet?"

  The mother-in-law on the side persuaded: "Biao girl is young after all, and it's rare to go out for a while, so don't worry about it."

The old lady put the teacup on the table and sighed: "It's hard to save a life, and I ran out after I got well, and I didn't come back for a long time, how can I not worry. Hongyun, you go and tell the doorman , Biao girl is back and report immediately."

  Not long after the woman called Hongyun explained, a maid rushed in: "Old lady, Miss Cousin is back, it seems that something happened!"

   "What happened?" The old lady held the teacup tightly.

   "It is said that the horse was shocked on the way back, and I rented another carriage to come back!"

  The old lady stood up and asked in a loud voice, "Is everyone alright?"

  The servant girl calmed down and said: "My cousin looks fine, but her clothes and hair are a bit messy. She said she will greet you after she goes back to Wanqingju to take a bath and change."

   "This girl just doesn't make people worry." Hearing that the maid said that she was fine, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

  In Yaxin Garden, Mrs. Qiao asked the same thing as the old lady: "Is everything alright?"

  Getting the answer, Mrs. Qiao sat quietly for a while, and said calmly: "Biao girl is really lucky, every time there is no danger."

   "Yes." My confidant, Nurse Lian, agreed softly.

  Nurse Fang has been fidgeting ever since Xinyou went out, and finally when she came back, she saw the distress at a glance: "Girl, what's wrong with you!"

  She supported Xin You's arm with both hands and looked up and down. She didn't see any trauma, and her hanging heart was relieved.

   "The horse was shocked, but we were not injured. Don't worry about the nanny. I'll go take a bath and change clothes first, and I'll talk about it later."

  Xinyou's calmness infected the people in Wanqingju. Those who fetched water and those who fetched clothes got busy up and down in an orderly manner.

  It was summer, and I was busy with those things again. Xinyou washed it three times before feeling that the smell disappeared.

  Put on a clean dress, she sat in front of the dressing table with her long hair loose, and Nanny Fang wiped her hair with a towel.

  Long hair like a waterfall, with snow-skinned peach cheeks, Nanny Fang gently combed Xinyou's hair, and couldn't help sighing: "Our girl is so pretty."

  The girl in the mirror said softly, "Yes, it's really pretty."

  Nurse Fang only thought that the girl had said a witty remark, and Xiao Lian, who was combing her hair after bathing and changing, paused when she heard this, her eyes blushed slightly.

  Hair was half dry, so Xinyou took Xiaolian to Ruyi Hall.

  The old lady had already asked about the situation from the coachman and guards who followed her, and when Xin You came in, she called people forward and looked carefully at her.

   "Let you live at home and insist on going out. This is good, and you will suffer again."

   "Qingqing made grandma worry."

  When Mrs. Qiao stepped into Ruyi Hall, she saw Xin You pleading guilty to the old lady.

   "Why are you here at this time?" The old lady asked Qiao.

  Mr. Qiao glanced at Xin You: "Daughter-in-law heard that the car and horses in which Qingqing was sitting was shocked, so she was worried, so come and have a look."

  As she spoke, she came over and put a hand on Xin You's shoulder: "Is Qingqing okay?"

"fine."

   "It's good that it's okay. When I heard that you hadn't come back at noon, my aunt was a little worried, afraid that something would trip her up."

  Xin You leaned slightly and got rid of the hand: "I let my aunt miss it. I happened to go out, so I stopped by Qianying Mountain to see if I can find the jade pendant that I lost the day I fell off the cliff."

   "But the piece your mother left you?" the old lady asked.

  Xin You nodded, showing a bit of sadness in his expression.

  Mr. Qiao slightly raised her eyebrows: "Qingqing remembers your mother?"

Xin You looked into Qiao's eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "I remember some things from my childhood sporadically. It may be that the memory is slowly recovering. Maybe someday I will remember all of them. I would also like to thank my grandmother and aunt for their care. "

   Qiao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "It would be great if Qingqing can restore her memory."

  Xin You held her lips, and glanced at Xiao Lian who was standing in the corner.

  Xiao Lian stepped forward quickly, plopped and knelt down in front of the old lady: "Old lady, please make the decision for our girl!"

  The old lady was holding the teacup and blowing slowly at it, when Xiaolian knelt down so suddenly, the tea swayed.

  She glanced at Xin You, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

Xiao Lian raised her head, her face was full of tears, she choked up and said, "No one would expect the horse to be startled, but the coachman went too far. Regardless of the girl's life or death..."

  The old lady's face became uglier the more she heard it.

  When she asked her earlier, no one said anything about the driver abandoning the car.

   "Call them to talk."

   Not long after, the coachman and two guards knelt in front of the old lady.

   "When the horse was startled, you ignored the girl who was still in the car and jumped out of the car?"

  The coachman lay on the ground and defended: "How dare the old slave leave the cousin girl? I was too afraid of my mind going blank at the time, so I was accidentally thrown off."

  The old lady looked at the two guards.

   The two guards looked at each other, both saying that the incident happened too suddenly and they didn't see it clearly.

  The coachman buried his head and stared at the ground, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

  The situation was so urgent at that time, except for the cousin girl and Xiaolian who were sitting in the carriage, who would have noticed whether he was thrown off the carriage or jumped off on his own initiative?

  Silver is still useful, you don’t need two boys to speak for him, as long as you don’t mix it up. And the cousin girl definitely couldn't get rid of her face and argued with him about driving a car, what's the use of making a fuss with only a little maid?

   "I saw it with my own eyes, you jumped out of the car on your own initiative!" Xiao Lian said angrily.

  The coachman looked aggrieved: "This old slave is wronged!"

  Mr. Qiao opened her mouth: "Old Zhangtou, how can you tear up with the people around the cousin girl? Are there any rules?"

   "The old slave is wrong, the old slave dare not."

  Xin You listened quietly, sneering in her heart.

  If it was the thin-skinned Kou girl who lived under the fence of others, after hearing what the eldest lady said, she would have the nerve to let the close servant girl continue to make trouble, maybe she would have to make up for Xiaolian.

  Unfortunately, she is not Miss Kou.

   "Zhang Bo is indeed wrong."

  The girl's voice was as cold as jade, clear and clear. This opening immediately attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's faces were full of surprise.

   "Qingqing—" the old lady shouted, with disapproval hidden in her eyes.

  At present, there is no one else to testify except Xiao Lian. Is the girl's family going to fight endlessly with a coachman?

   That's too ugly.

"It was a shock at the time, and I didn't pay much attention to it. I said Uncle Zhang was wrong because he was the coachman, and it was his duty to drive the carriage well. No matter how he got out of the carriage, it was dereliction of duty to let the carriage fall into a situation where no one was in control. Grandma, what do you think?"

  The old lady was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Qingqing really has grown up and understands the truth." Then she stopped laughing and looked at the driver with a straight face.

  The coachman froze and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Qiao.

   Thank you Qingque Baihufang for being the leader of Xiaoyouzi, thank Moyu Moyi for being the leader of Xiaoyuzi, and thank you book friends who voted for Xiaoyouzi.
