Chapter 18 Reactions of Parties (3)
The eldest lady sat on the bed, looking at her only daughter-in-law who had been in pain since she was a child, and stood in front of her nervously at this time, looking sincerely frightened, and she hated iron and steel in her heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
How could her precious daughter think that she would blame her for the death of these minions?
For her troubles with Mei Yixuan from time to time, she actually connived and recognized, even Mama Li didn't notice it, and she was also very comforted that her daughter could grasp the proportions.
However, today's matter, the eldest lady felt that Ying'er had done it, and she didn't realize who was the most hurt after it was exposed, which was why she brought Ying'er over tonight.
Mei Yingxuan saw that her mother didn't speak for a long time, so she raised her head and glanced at the eldest lady, she sensitively noticed that her mother was not particularly angry today, and she was really relieved.
Seeing that her daughter's face had softened, the eldest lady also took advantage of the situation and said softly: "Ying'er, you are really reckless today, do you know that if something happens to the eldest lady today, whose reputation will be hurt the most?"
"Of course it's Mei Yixuan!" Mei Yingxuan gave an answer without the slightest hesitation.
"Wrong!" the eldest lady restrained the smile on her face and said with a strained face, "You are the most precious concubine of the Mei Mansion, and once the reputation of the Mei Mansion is rumored to be bad, you are the one who will bear the brunt of the disaster." Moreover, the one who loses face will be your father, and the entire Mei Mansion will be disgraced because of this! One is prosperous and the other is lost, which is also the reason why those big families fight to the death in the nest, but they are in a group to the outside world. Do you think those big families have little to do? It's just a good cover-up. β
Although Mei Yingxuan is arrogant on weekdays, she is not reckless in essence, and she is also very smart, which is inseparable from the teaching of the eldest lady on weekdays. At this moment, I was suddenly awakened by my mother's words, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Yes, she is the most dazzling and noble concubine in Mei Mansion, if Mei Yixuan really has an accident, it will affect the reputation of all the ladies in the entire Mei Mansion. The other concubines in the house had no future, and they would not be of much help to their father's career.
I am different, my marriage will be closely linked to my father's career to a large extent, and the relationship between the two should be interdependent. Once his reputation is damaged, it will affect not only his marriage, but also his father's career.
Thinking of this, Mei Yingxuan's face turned ashamed, and she couldn't help but say, "Mother, it's her daughter who is reckless." This time, it was her daughter's inconsiderate thinking that almost made a situation out of control. β
The eldest lady nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's good if you can figure it out." β
Mei Yingxuan swept away her arrogant demeanor in front of people, and replaced it with a face full of intelligence and depth. She said solemnly: "Mother rest assured, her daughter will not make such mistakes again in the future." The daughter also knew that her mother was taking Mei Yixuan and the affairs of the house for her daughter to practice in order to deal with the complicated things that she might encounter later, and the daughter understood her mother's hard work. However, mother, my daughter is getting older, and I don't want to always give people the impression of arrogance and arrogance, can I restore my original temperament? Could a wise and sensible daughter make people criticize Meifu? β
A hint of gloom flashed on the eldest lady's face very quickly, and she couldn't find it if she didn't look carefully. When she saw her daughter's bewildered face, she said earnestly, "Silly boy, you don't understand. If your intelligence spreads, it will attract the attention of the royal family. Now there is still a gap between the princes and your age, but if someone with a heart notices, they would rather wait and accept you as a concubine. β
Hearing this, Mei Yingxuan was even more confused: "Doesn't the mother want her daughter to marry into the royal family? Isn't this the dream destination of all women? Why should the mother object?"
The eldest lady looked at her daughter's puzzled eyes, forced herself to suppress the resentment in her heart, and persuaded her more gently: "Silly boy, what will happen to the children of the royal family? Except for the person who finally sat on that chair, the other princes may not even be able to save their lives in the end." β
"Then marry the prince's brother!" Mei Yingxuan blurted out the words in her heart, and after finishing speaking, she realized that she had said something about a famous lady who had lost her identity, and she couldn't help but lower her head, and she also missed the haze hidden in her mother's eyes.
The eldest lady suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a firm tone: "No! Do you think that position is so easy to sit in? Since ancient times, it has been necessary to step on the bones of countless people to reach that position, and it is not certain that you can sit firmly or not." I won't let you marry into that fire pit, there are many noble families in Kyoto, don't worry, your mother will choose a good family for you. β
Mei Yingxuan wanted to say something more, but seeing the indisputable firmness on her mother's face, she had to swallow back the doubts in her stomach.
The eldest lady cleverly diverted the topic: "Your methods today are too immature and too direct, if you want to deal with people in the future, you have to think carefully about how to kill people with a knife, how to hide from the world, how to attack the west, how to steal beams and change pillars, in short, it is the smartest way to lead the troubles to the east and not to lead the doubts to yourself." Okay, it's not early today, let's go back and rest. β
Mei Yingxuan savored her mother's words, and bowed down to the eldest lady: "Good night, mother, my daughter will go back first." β
After speaking, Mei Yingxuan walked out of the room and returned to Feiyu Pavilion in a distraught, and Si Qin followed silently.
At the same time, in the Tingxue Hall where the old lady lived, the old lady had fallen asleep because she had been tired for a day, and it was the turn of the big girl Xia Meng to be on duty tonight.
Listening to the head of Xuetang, Mama Gu and Mama Cheng are no longer on duty because they are older, and every day the two big girls Xia Rong and Xia Meng take turns to be on duty.
After Xia Meng waited for the old lady to rest, she just wanted to lie down and rest, when she heard the rough envoy Feng Pozi, who was on night duty at the gate, quietly came in to tell that someone was looking for her outside the door.
Xia Meng knew that the people outside the door must have something important to do so late, so he followed Mrs. Feng to the door, and when she saw that it was Sishuang, the third-class maid of Feiyu Pavilion, she lowered her voice and asked, "It's so late, is there something wrong?"
Sishuang pulled Xia Meng aside, whispered in her ear for a moment, and then went back without stopping.
Xia Meng walked into the courtyard as usual, and said lightly to Mrs. Feng, "Close the door." β
Mrs. Feng respectfully agreed and gently closed the courtyard door. She looked at Xia Meng's figure walking into the courtyard, and she couldn't help but be envious. The maids under the old lady were all so different and calm, and they couldn't tell what Xia Meng was thinking from their faces. However, Sishuang must have something important to do with Huixiang who was beaten to death by the eldest lady.
Mrs. Feng really guessed correctly, Xia Meng went all the way into the house, but she was thinking about the news that Sishuang said.
In fact, from the beginning, when the eldest lady Mei Yixuan sent Mama Ye to find the little girl in the outer courtyard, the old lady knew what happened in Ziyueyuan. After that, the two little guys disappeared for no reason, and it quickly spread to Tingxuetang. But the old lady didn't say anything until she went to sleep, which made Xia Meng not sure whether she should tell the old lady the news sent by Sishuang just now.
Xia Meng had just closed the door of the house, but when she turned around, she was startled by the old lady who sat up on the bed, and hurriedly walked to the bed and asked, "Old lady, is it that the slave is moving too much and wakes you up?"
