Chapter 24: Follow-up (4)
said that Mei Yixuan and the eldest lady followed Mama Gu into the courtyard and came to the main landlord's house where the old lady lived. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info saw that the old lady was already sitting on the bed, eating breakfast on the small table in the house, and Xia Meng was waiting to rinse her mouth.
"The daughter-in-law greets her mother, is the mother eating well?" the eldest lady respectfully gave the old lady a salute and asked with concern.
The old lady didn't pick her eyelids, rinsed her mouth by herself, slowly wiped her hands with the clean cloth towel handed over by Xia Meng, and then leaned on the pillow behind her.
"The granddaughter greets her grandmother and asks her grandmother to forgive her granddaughter for the crime of lax discipline!" Mei Yixuan also respectfully gave the old lady a junior salute, and said with a heavy voice.
She decided to confess what happened yesterday first, anyway, if she didn't say it, it is estimated that almost everyone in the house already knows about it, so it is better to strive for a good attitude.
These ancient rituals, she searched the memories of the original owner, and only reluctantly did it. She was in good spirits to cope with this morning's greetings, trying not to make people look out of the ordinary.
But the most rare thing is not these etiquette, but the change in temperament. No matter how restrained she is, she can't change the strong, domineering, and cold things in her bones, which is what worries her the most.
These people are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they have all become essences, and it would be bad for people to see the clues if they were not careful. Therefore, today she tried her best to imitate the tone and actions of the original owner, trying to get by.
However, the old lady is not an ordinary person, and I am afraid that it is not so easy to deal with.
As soon as the old lady heard her words, she immediately stared at her and asked, "Oh, big girl, tell your grandmother, why is the discipline not strict?"
Mei Yixuan felt that the old lady's gaze was like a sharp sword stabbing straight over, and her heart was a "grunt", oh no, she was really afraid of something, the old lady was suspicious.
Mei Yixuan couldn't remember where she had gone wrong in a hurry, so she had to follow the plan Ai Ai's whimper: "Grandmother Qiqi, granddaughter γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» granddaughter's eldest maid Huixiang deliberately framed γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» granddaughter yesterday, put things in her granddaughter's food and goat's milk, and asked Xingyu to trick her granddaughter into going to the lake to find the fifth young master, and the granddaughter fell unconscious after arriving at the lake. Later, I don't know what happened, but the granddaughter came to her senses, and then the granddaughter went back on her own. β
When Mei Yixuan said this, he paused, quickly raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady, and saw that she had withdrawn her gaze, leaning on the pillow with her eyes half-open and half-closed, as if she was listening very seriously, so she was slightly relieved. continued: "After going back, my granddaughter was afraid of delaying her grandmother's birthday banquet, so she could only endure the discomfort of her body and attended the birthday banquet. However, the granddaughter already knew that it was the medicine of Huixiang instructed by the second sister, and the second sister had already admitted it, so after the granddaughter attended the birthday banquet, she γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» killed Huixiang with a cane. But no matter what, Huixiang is her granddaughter's maid, and her granddaughter is guilty of lax discipline, please punish her grandmother!"
The eldest lady saw that the old lady's face was getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly defended: "Mother, you can't listen to one side of the word and wronged the second lady. How could the second lady do such a thing? There must be a misunderstanding in thisγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The old lady ignored her, and only gently ordered: "Call the second lady in!"
"Yes!" Mama Gu promised and went out immediately.
There was silence in the room, no one spoke, and even the eldest lady knew that what she said was in vain, so she kept her mouth shut. There was a brief silence in the room, but there was a subtle tension.
Mei Yixuan stood there with his eyes and nose and nose looking at his heart, but there was a look of fear and fear on his face because of the imminent arrival of the second lady, which was Mei Yixuan's careful analysis of the change in the conditioned nature of the original owner. Even if you want to change the character of the original owner, you have to do it step by step, and it is impossible to completely change it all at once. Therefore, Mei Yixuan racked her brains to come up with the demeanor when facing the old lady, which appropriately showed the attitude that a concubine should have.
Moreover, since Mama Gu left, she felt that there was a gaze that was always observing her, and she knew that it must be the old lady. Therefore, he didn't dare to have the slightest abnormality, and he always had a panicked look on his face, as if he had caused some monstrous disaster.
After a long while, she heard a long sigh until footsteps came from the courtyard, and then the gaze disappeared. She also immediately broke out in a cold sweat, thanks to her excellent psychological quality, she changed to an ordinary person, and if she didn't do well, she would show her feet.
At this time, Mama Gu walked in and said softly, "Old lady, the second lady has arrived." β
Mei Yingxuan walked into the house behind Mama Gu and respectfully gave the old lady a salute: "Granddaughter greets grandmother, grandmother is auspicious!"
The old lady glanced at the people in the room and said majestically, "The second lady stays, and the rest of the people retreat." Mama Gu, pass on my words, today's please be excused, let them all go back! Also, tell those minions, don't think that the masters of the things they did when people die, let them do their own thing. Acquaintances hurry back, if you really want to investigate, then the whole family will investigate together, and no one will want to run away. The master of Meifu is the master, and the slave is the slave, and they dare to bully the master and frame the master, and they still have the courage to come? Where did they get the self-confidence? Just tell them what I said! Not a word is missing!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that the old lady was angry, everyone was stunned, and they agreed in unison and exited the house one after another.
The eldest lady seemed to hesitate to say something, but in the end she came out without saying anything.
Mama Gu conveyed the meaning of the old lady word for word outside the Xue Hall, and the second lady and the young grandmother who were waiting outside were nothing. After Mei Qing, Mei Xiao and Hui Xiangniang listened to Mama Gu's words, they knelt down in fear and kowtowed to thank them, and went back in disgrace.
The eldest lady's yin owl eyes stared at Mei Yixuan fiercely a few times, and finally glanced at the courtyard of Xuetang unwillingly, before she "hummed" and left with the maids and servants.
The eldest young grandmother also left with the eldest lady, and glanced at Mei Yixuan before leaving, with a look of pity on her face.
Mei Yixuan bowed down with a frightened face and sent the eldest lady away, before straightening up. Seeing that the second lady not far from the opposite side did not leave, she hurriedly stepped forward timidly and respectfully bowed: "Niece greets the second aunt!"
Wang Wenjing looked at Mei Yixuan's sincere and frightened appearance, and sighed secretly. It's not easy to make a living under the eldest lady, and it's really hard for this child. So, he nodded and said, "Good boy, if you have anything to do in the future, just go to the second aunt, as long as the second aunt can do it, it will definitely meet your requirements." β
Mei Yixuan hurriedly thanked him gratefully: "Niece, thank you, second aunt!"
Wang Wenjing glanced at Mei Yixuan, turned around and left with his subordinates.
Mei Yixuan squinted his eyes and thought for a while, before he said lightly to Xingyu and Piaoxue, "Go back." β
