The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

On this day, Xia Qianxiang was embroidering in her own Li Qianxuan.

Originally, Xia Qianxiang would have visited Xia Yanxiang these few days, but Xia Yanxiang was busy helping Tu deal with matters in the mansion these days. Xia Qianxiang was afraid of disturbing Xia Yanxiang, so she didn't go.

Suddenly there was a noise outside.

"Miss Fifth, Miss Sixth really didn't take your things!" It was Yuxiu's voice.

Another somewhat sharp voice sounded: "You slut, just because you said there is nothing, does that mean it's gone? If Xia Qianxiang is fine, why would she send a maid to me!"

As soon as Xia Qianxiang heard it, she knew it was Xia Jianxiang's voice. She didn't know what Xia Jianxiang was trying to do, as she always came to cause trouble for Xia Qianxiang.

Xia Qianxiang put down the embroidery in her hand, stood up, adjusted her mood, and walked out.

I don't know why, Xia Jianxiang is obviously the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, but she is different from the other three girls in the Shangshu Mansion. She doesn't care about her image every day and shouts all day long.

"Fifth sister." No matter what, Xia Qianxiang still bowed to Xia Jianxiang according to the rules, "Fifth sister, is there anything I can do for you?"

Xia Jianxiang looked very disgusted with Xia Qianxiang and said, "Xia Qianxiang, why did you run into my yard to steal things? Did you instruct me?"

Xia Qianxiang didn't understand what Xia Jianxiang meant, and looked at Yuxiu in confusion. Yuxiu didn't know either.

Xia Jianxiang impatiently asked someone to bring the maid up. The girl was unfamiliar to her and her cheeks were swollen, probably because she had been beaten by Xia Jianxiang.

"Yuxiu, when did this girl appear in our yard?" Xia Qianxiang seemed to have never seen this girl before and was very confused.

Yuxiu looked at the girl carefully, only to see that she kept her head down and refused to raise it. Yuxiu and Zhong Ling looked at each other and confirmed that the girl was not from their courtyard: "Miss, this girl is not from our courtyard."

Before Xia Qianxiang could say anything, Xia Jianxiang exploded first: "How could she not be from your yard? Doesn't she know which yard she is from? This damn girl sneaked around in my yard just to steal my things, and she dared to say it wasn't you who ordered her to do it?!"

Xia Qianxiang had indeed never seen this girl before. It would have been fine if she didn't know her, but Zhong Ling and Yuxiu were the eldest girls in her yard. Was there someone in the yard that they didn't know?

"Fifth sister, this is the eldest girl in my yard. If this is a girl in my yard, they should know her even if I don't know her well." Although she knew it was useless to reason with Xia Jianxiang, Xia Qianxiang had no choice. Xia Jianxiang had liked to target her since she was a child, and the second aunt had always been favored. Xia Qianxiang wanted to say a word in front of Xia Liu, but she couldn't.

Xia Jianxiang didn't care and said in a tantrum: "If I catch the people in your yard, of course you won't admit it. Do you think they are your people?"

Xia Qianxiang really felt that Xia Jianxiang was unreasonable: "So what do you think we should do, Fifth Sister?"

Xia Jianxiang was waiting for Xia Qianxiang to say this: "Since this person is from your courtyard, then you must be involved in this matter."

"Fifth sister, this girl is not from my yard." It turned out that this was Xia Jianxiang's idea. No matter what Xia Qianxiang said, Xia Jianxiang would insist that this girl was from Xia Qianxiang's yard, and then Xia Jianxiang could say whatever she wanted.

Xia Jianxiang didn't care: "She has already confessed that she is from your courtyard. Is it true? If you don't admit it, does that mean she is not one anymore?"

The noise here had attracted the maids around to come and see. Yuxiu saw that something was not right, so she secretly sent someone to find her aunt.

"Fifth sister, I don't know whether this girl is from my yard, but how can I prove that she is from my yard? Just by her mouth?" Xia Qianxiang didn't want to cause trouble, but being suppressed by Xia Jianxiang like this was not only detrimental to Xia Qianxiang's status in the mansion, but also to her reputation outside.

In the past, Xia Jianxiang liked to make trouble for Xia Qianxiang, time and time again. Xia Qianxiang had tried her best to endure it, but she would not always allow Xia Jianxiang to frame her at will.

Although Xia Jianxiang often picked trouble with Xia Qianxiang, Xia Qianxiang did not always endure it. Xia Jianxiang was a typical person who appeared to be strong but was actually weak. Almost every time Xia Qianxiang started to resist forcefully, Xia Jianxiang would stop pestering her.

"Sixth Miss, I am from your courtyard! Sister Zhong Ling, won't you help me?" The maid suddenly began to speak, her words earnest, looking at Xia Qianxiang and Zhong Ling pitifully.

"When did you enter Li Qianxuan? I have never seen you in Li Qianxuan. Don't use the name of the Sixth Miss here!" Zhong Ling scolded the girl harshly.

"What do you mean? Xia Qianxiang, you don't admit it, right?" Xia Qianxiang didn't say anything to the girl, but Zhong Ling's words seemed to ignite Xia Jianxiang, "You said I can't produce evidence, but this girl can clearly tell the difference between Zhong Ling and Yuxiu, are you still going to lie?"

Zhong Ling and Yuxiu are twin sisters, and you can't tell them apart unless you are familiar with them.

However, whether or not one can tell Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu apart does not prove anything. After all, Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu have been in the Shangshu Mansion for many years.

"Fifth sister, Zhong Ling and Yu Xiu have been in our house for many years. Is there still a maid in the house who can't tell them apart?" Is this enough to prove that this girl is from Li Qianxuan? How funny!

"How about this, Fifth Sister, if you and I can't handle this matter between us, let's go to the Madam and discuss it." Xia Qianxiang would not tolerate Xia Jianxiang's temper, always finding fault with her. Xia Qianxiang was just a little bit non-confrontational, but she was not weak.

Just at this time, the eldest aunt also came. After hearing Xia Qianxiang's last words, a trace of approval flashed in her eyes: "Sixth girl is right. If the fifth girl feels that this matter is difficult to resolve, why not go to Madam to resolve it."

Xia Jianxiang saw that Xia Qianxiang now had someone to help her, while she was alone and weak. Although she was a little unwilling, after all, no one helped her. She changed her mind and realized that even if she went in front of the Tu family, they would not be able to say that this girl was not from Xia Qianxiang's courtyard.

But the Second Aunt had always been at odds with Tu, and when she appeared in front of Tu, she didn't know whether Tu would take revenge on her.

"Instead of that, why not let father come!" Xia Liu has always favored her and her son. Even if she knew that Xia Jianxiang was deliberately making trouble, she would not punish Xia Jianxiang too much. At most, she would say a few words and let it go.

The eldest aunt and Xia Qianxiang looked at each other. Who could not see Xia Jianxiang's little thoughts, but it happened to be unfortunate: "The master is not in the mansion today, not to mention that the affairs of the backyard should be handled by the lady."

"Madam has been busy with our second sister's wedding these days. How could she have the time to take care of such a trivial matter?" Even if Xia Liu was not there, Tu was busy with Xia Pinxiang's wedding and would not come to deal with such a trivial matter.

Unfortunately, Xia Jianxiang forgot that it is Xia Yanxiang who is now helping to manage the affairs of the mansion.

"Fifth sister, don't worry. Father and Madam have already allowed Third sister to manage the affairs of the mansion. If Madam is not available, Third sister can also handle it."

Xia Jianxiang then realized that even if this matter fell into the hands of Tu, Tu might be more fair. But if Xia Yanxiang was asked to deal with it, Xia Yanxiang hated Xia Pinxiang so much that how could she help her?

"Yuxiu, go report to Madam first and ask if she is free. If not, go tell Third Miss and we will be there right away." Without waiting for Xia Jianxiang to say anything, the eldest aunt made the decision and immediately asked Yuxiu to report to Mrs. Tu.
