Xia Nan rushed in and saw Xia Ying kneeling on the ground, her face full of tears. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Why? Is it because of a cat that you are going to ruin your granddaughter's happiness? β
"Happiness, where does happiness come from? However, a family business, your status is noble, and there is no shortage of people to propose relatives, this family business is over, and grandmother will check a better candidate for you. β
"But Ying'er only loves the prince of the country!"
Xia Ying was unwilling to respond, but she heard a 'snap' and fell crisply.
Immediately, she saw five palm prints floating on Xia Ying's white face, and she was stunned, looking at the person in front of her in disbelief. Fortunately, the maids and mothers-in-law in the house were all kicked out, otherwise Xia Ying would lose face.
Su Shi was trembling with anger.
As soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, the maid beside her said that something was wrong, and she hurried to Shaosong Hall before she had time to take off her clothes, and Baohuan told her about it halfway, she heard it trembling in her heart, but she didn't expect that as soon as she entered the door, she heard Xia Ying's shameless words.
"Rebel girl! Look what you are saying, and when your words are spread out so that people will hear them, how can you get married! Secretly promised, it's shameless! β
Su was born into a famous family and followed the women's training the most, but she didn't expect that her proudest daughter would say such a thing.
The will of the gods cannot be disobeyed, and the matter of Geng Ti has already shown that it is impossible for her to be with the prince of Weiguo, and the more stubborn she is, the more stubborn she is!
"Mother!" Xia Ying's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that her mother, who was usually gentle, actually gave her a slap in the face.
"I will never agree to this family business! In the past few days, you have to reflect on me in the house, and I will order someone to send it back, and this family business will be stopped! β
Su's face was indifferent and could not be ignored.
The blood on Xia Ying's face faded, but her eyes slowly condensed into a firmness, and she only listened to her voice gradually becoming calm.
"Grandmother, mother, Ying'er knows that you are for Ying'er's good, but Ying'er is fifteen years old this year, and you have been shirking Ying'er's family affairs, Ying'er has no complaints, and now, because of a dead cat, this family business is going to be ruined. What if someone deliberately framed Ying'er? Is Ying'er going to break off her marriage because of this? β
When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but turn to Xia Nan, and there was unyielding resentment in them.
Xia Nan's heart trembled suddenly, but he didn't say anything.
Su Shi also heard her words and glanced at Xia Nan lightly.
"You don't need to say much, I have my own conclusion at this time, in short, I won't let you marry into the Weiguo Mansion, you will die of this heart!"
Su Shi said resolutely, and Xia Ying's eyes flashed with tears, as if she had made up her mind.
"If you don't agree with this family business, Ying'er is willing to live the life of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha!"
Su Shi looked at Xia Ying who was kneeling on the ground, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he said coldly.
"Then you can go to the nunnery and spend your life with the Bodhisattva!"
If nothing happens within three days of the exchange of Gengti, this family business is promised by the gods, but if there is something abnormal in the family within three days, this family business is not a family, it is a disaster, and I don't know what disaster it will bring.
Instead of letting Xia Ying marry and suffer, it is better to break this evil thought!
"Mother!"
Xia Ying wanted to say something more, but was coldly interrupted by Su Shi.
"Enough! You don't have a choice! During this time, you should reflect and reflect in the house, come and take the second lady back to the house, and she will not be allowed to step out of the yard for half a step without my permission! β
Su Shi's eyebrows were sharp, and he called a few maids to take Xia Ying out.
Xia Ying was unwilling, but was pushed back to the boudoir by several maids.
After she retreated, Su Shi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, she glanced at Xia Nan complicatedly, but she didn't say anything.
Ji spoke.
"Dafang daughter-in-law, this matter, you go to the Weiguo Mansion to explain it, find a good reason, don't let the family hate us."
"Yes."
As soon as Su Shi came back from the palace, he met Xia Ying like this, and he was physically and mentally exhausted.
Xia Nan looked at her appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and retreated.
Xia Ying and the prince of Wei Guo have made up their minds, this marriage will not be concluded, but it is okay like this, she will not be forced to die like in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Xia Nan couldn't help but exhale a mouthful of turbidity, followed by a cold look in his eyes.
In the Xiyan Pavilion, Jing Hong has been kneeling on the floor, on a February day, the floor is still cold, she has been kneeling, her eyes are slightly red, and Pian Ruo and a few second-class maids are watching from the side.
Xia Nan looked at her coldly, and when she saw her coming back, her body straightened up.
"Sister, it's all the slave's fault, please punish it."
Xia Nan walked directly past her and said to Yulan, "Call me all the maids and wives in the courtyard." β
After a while, the courtyard was full of people, and Xia Nan stood in front of them, sweeping the maids with cold eyes, but did not speak.
The maid at the bottom originally guessed what Xia Nan meant, but she was glanced at by this cold eye, and her heart kept drumming.
If she doesn't speak, the more bottomless the hearts of the people below.
After a while, she spoke slowly.
"Am I so used to you that I take my words as a deaf ear?"
exclaimed, his eyes were red, and the maids below didn't even dare to come out.
"Sister, Sister Jinghong just pitied that cat......" Bitong didn't say anything to convince her.
"Did I let you speak?"
Who doesn't know that Xia Nan is gentle by nature and is lenient to the maids below, but today's Xia Nan is so fierce that the maids are more and more frightened.
No one dared to speak.
Jing Hong's eyes were red, "Sister, please punish me, it's all my fault, the slave is willing to be punished." β
"Punishment? Of course, it will be punished, if not, if not, I, the young lady, will still be convinced. β
"As a first-class maid, Jinghong acted against the order, was demoted to a second-class maid, and deducted three months' money."
After she finished speaking, the maids present couldn't help but gasp.
This punishment is too ruthless, Jinghong suddenly changed from a first-class maid to a second-class maid, and she also deducted three months' monthly money, and all of a sudden, her status fell, and she had the same status as the four second-class maids.
However, if there is one less first-class maid, one will naturally be promoted from several second-class maids, thinking so, the mandarin duck couldn't help but speak.
"Sister, your punishment is too heavy, Sister Jinghong is so ......"
"If you make a mistake, you will be punished, since you feel sorry for her, then you will also deduct a month's money with her."
Ha?
Mandarin Mandarin's eyes widened.
What's going on?
She just wants to brush up on her presence in front of Xia Nan, so that she can feel her 'kindness', why does it still affect her and deduct a month's money!
"Withβ"
Yuan'er was unwilling and wanted to speak, but was pulled by Bitong on the side.
Seeing that Xia Nan was so ruthless, all the maids and women in the courtyard were silent, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would affect themselves.
After the training, the maids and women dispersed on their own, and Xia Nan left Pian Ruo and Jinghong alone.
She was still kneeling, and she had no complaints about Xia Nan's punishment.
"You've been taking care of that cat, why did you die in front of the second lady's yard?"
"Back to Miss, the little milk cat has indeed been taking care of the maid, the maid wanted to wait for it to heal and let it go, raised for two days, its injury has also improved a lot, the maid secretly went out of the back door last night, let the cat go, the maid really doesn't know, why it died in front of the yard of the second lady this morning."
When Jing Hong said this, there was sadness in his eyes.
She really likes this kitten, but she just let the cat go with her front foot, and it died in front of someone else's door with her back foot, which even affected her own young lady.
Hearing her words, Xia Nan's brows furrowed even tighter.
There is no way to investigate this matter.
Who killed the cat and left it in front of Xia Ying's door, who is it good for Xia Ying to lose this family business?
She really couldn't think of it.
Was it really an accident?
dismissed the two maids, and she rubbed her head and thought about things back and forth.
"Sister Yuan'er, you can be regarded as stepping on the pit, deducting a month's money, I feel sorry for you, you said that this Miss is true, others did something wrong and even punished you by the way, what is the reason, I really don't value it for you."
It was Rue Xiang who spoke, Xia Nan asked her to get close to Rue Xiang before, she found an opportunity to get close, and after getting along with her, she found that the two had similar temperaments, and the relationship was getting better day by day.
Now that she has been wronged in Xiyan Pavilion, Yuan'er immediately found Rue Xiang to confide, and after listening to Ru Xiang's words, Yuan'er felt even more unwilling, but it was difficult to say anything because of Xia Nan's identity.
Rue Xiang said again, "Eh, I really feel sorry for you, you said, this young lady is so ruthless, you are loyal on weekdays, and you work for her a lot, but she is good, she is not happy, and she is still angry with you." β
Rue Xiang has been holding grievances for Yuan'er, and her heart, which had been calmed down, was teased up again in an instant, and her heart slowly swelled with arrogance, and she couldn't help but pour out all her dissatisfaction.
"Sister Ruexiang, don't you know, how difficult it is for this cousin to serve, on weekdays, she doesn't let me into her house at all, and only takes the silly girl who hugs the moon when she goes out, among these second-class maids, I have nothing to do, I originally thought that she might want to promote me, but then I saw that the other second-class maids were more or less rewarded, and I was not alone. And this time it was even more excessive, and even deducted my monthly money for a month! β
The more Yuan'er thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and the more angry she became, she actually told Xia Nan what she had told her to do.
"Sister Ruexiang, I'm so lucky to meet you, I originally approached you on purpose, but I didn't expect that you are the best person for me."
"Deliberately approaching me?"
"Well, it's Miss Cousin, she asked me to approach you." Mandarin ducks have nothing to say.
"Why did Miss Watch do this?"
"She didn't say anything about it."
Rue Xiang thoughtfully, reached out and stroked her sideburns, and this time, Mandarin Mandarin's eyes fell on her slender hand, and the nails on it were shiny. She suddenly remembered the scene she had seen in the stable about Rue and the stable boy.
With a slight turn in her eyes, Mandarin Ander silently swallowed the words back into her stomach.
The next day, when Xia Nan went to ask Ji for peace, she saw that she was melancholy between her eyebrows, and it seemed that there was a knot that could not be dissolved.
Xia Nan got up, came behind Ji, and gently pressed the acupuncture points on her head for her.
"Grandmother, you are so good-looking, don't frown all the time, it won't look good."
She said witticisms, and Ji, who she hadn't seen, soothed her brows.
Ji pulled her to sit down and sent away the maids in the house, leaving only her and Mama Xu.
"Sister Nan, you are good friends with Sister Ying on weekdays, do you know when she fell in love with Erlang of the Wei family?"
Hearing this, Xia Nan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, is it because of Xia Ying?
She said truthfully, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, we had a relationship with the prince of Weiguo, and after returning that day, Sister Ying seemed to be a little different from the past. β
Listening to Xia Nan's words, Ji sighed.
"This infatuation!"
Xia Nan didn't answer, and after a while, he only listened to Ji's words.
"Today, your aunt wanted to go back to the Weiguo Mansion, but she didn't expect Geng Ti to be gone, and after some verification, she found out that she was sent back to the Weiguo Mansion. Sister Ying actually took advantage of the fact that I and your aunt had not yet acted, so she sent Geng Tie back and responded to this family business. β
As soon as these words came out, Xia Nan's eyebrows couldn't help but clasp together.
She never thought that Xia Ying would be so bold that she did not hesitate to disobey the elders in the family and stole Geng Ti to respond to this family affair without authorization.
She was both shocked and sad, Xia Ying really had a deep affection for the prince of Weiguo, and wanted to marry him by any means.
Ji was speechless, and Xia Nan didn't speak.
Outside Qinghan's courtyard, a white figure knelt at the door, with a resolute gaze.
The atmosphere in the room was low, and Su Shi had a cold face and a cold gaze.
Baohuan fought his courage and said, "Madam, the floor is still cold in February, and the second lady has been kneeling outside for an hour, I'm afraid that she will freeze." β
"Hmph, just let her kneel!"
Su Shi was so angry that his eyebrows lost his usual gentleness.
Outside the house, Xia Ying's figure was shaky, but she bit her lower lip tightly, not saying a word, and her eyes were full of determination.
She has no regrets.
Today's things, she is willing to bear it, she will move her heart this time in her life, if she misses it, her heart will die in the future, what is the fun of this life.
"Mother please do it."
Xia Ying drank and slowly kowtowed.
"Mother please do it."
She raised her voice again and kowtowed again.
After the two kowtows, Xia Ying's forehead was already red and swollen, and the flowing clouds beside her were so anxious that tears swirled in her eyes, "Sister, get up quickly, you are injured." β
Ignoring her crying, Xia Ying stubbornly continued to kowtow.
Liuyun cried into tears, but Xia Ying was still indomitable, and the eldest lady in the house still did not have the slightest sense of loosening.
The treasure ring in the room frowned, secretly looking at Su Shi, she had been by her side for so many years, and clearly captured the unbearable flashing in Su Shi's eyes.
She comforted again, "Madam, let the second lady come in first, she has been kneeling for so long, her body is already unbearable, and if she kowtows like this, she will hurt." β
When the words fell, Su's originally hard face finally loosened a little.
She whispered, "Let her get up." β
Xia Ying was helped up by Liuyun, but her legs were extremely stiff due to kneeling on the ground for a long time, and she fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Su Shi hurriedly ran out and helped her up, the corners of her eyes moistened. (To be continued.) )
