Volume 1, Chapter 65: Brutal Reality
Aunt Su held her daughter's hand, looking at her daughter's bright face, she was also very entangled, she had been struggling these days. If she could, she wouldn't want to tell her daughter about these dirty things, because her daughter used to hide her nature because of her words and regarded herself as a transparent person. Although she lost her memory from this accidental fall, she was also very happy to see her cheerful and lively daughter who had recovered her nature, but the smile on her daughter's face was soon about to be broken by her own hands, and she really couldn't bear it.
Yuehuan's tears fluttered down: "Auntie, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have yelled at Mrs. at that time, I just couldn't control myself at that time." At that moment, she only knew that she was angry, and she wanted to find an explanation for Mo's, completely forgetting her identity. Otherwise, she would never have been so sloppy.
Through this incident, Yuehuan clearly knows that she has not fully entered the role, and always lives with an attitude of a game in this era, and this incident has taught her a profound lesson.
Aunt Su said after a long time: "This incident is indeed caused by you, if it weren't for your aunt, she wouldn't have been punished." When Aunt Su said this, it was like a knife stuck in her heart.
Yuehuan looked at Aunt Su with wide eyes, and there was a tremor in her words: "Auntie, you, I provoked you to be punished?" IβWhat's wrong with me? "She also provoked my aunt's punishment, what's going on? She didn't do anything? She really didn't do anything.
Aunt Su endured the pain in her heart and said: "Because of the fact that you went to Lanxi Courtyard without permission the day before yesterday, Mrs. thought that it was your aunt who instigated you to go, so she was angry. β
As if hearing a joke, Yuehuan's voice couldn't help but get louder: "Why? I just went to Lanxi Courtyard to borrow a few books, I just went to borrow books, why should Mrs. be angry? "As a concubine, I don't even have the right to study.
Aunt Su sighed slightly; "It's right to borrow books, but you shouldn't borrow books from the third girl, Madame thinks it's your aunt's idea to show favor to the third girl."
Moon Ring didn't understand.
Aunt Su didn't want to let her daughter know about these dirty things, but if she didn't tell her daughter now, her daughter had been so reckless, and when the time came, she would be punished for delaying her daughter and Brother Lun, which was a big deal: "Madame has always wanted to envelop the third girl, and the three girls were fine before, but suddenly the third girl became shrewd and no longer close to Madame, which made Madame very angry, but because of the old lady, Madame couldn't do anything for the time being." β
Yuehuan remembered that she had talked about this topic before: "Auntie, I know that Madame covets the huge amount of money in the hands of the third girl, but what does this have to do with me borrowing books?" No matter how much Yuehuan thought about it, she couldn't figure out what this matter had to do with her.
Aunt Su has only helplessness for her daughter's simple thoughts, her daughter used to see through everything, but now she has become so naΓ―ve: "It doesn't matter if you borrow books, but Mrs. suspects that I instructed you to go." I have served by my wife's side for so many years, and I know her affairs very well, and I know her temperament very well, and my wife is afraid of me...... "I don't need to talk about anything if I am afraid of her."
Yuehuan was stunned for a moment: "Auntie...... You mean that Madame will definitely attack the third girl in the future. "I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to be hidden.
Aunt Su smiled bitterly: "This is natural, the second master served as the imperial history of Jiangnan Yan, but the master only brought back less than 100,000 taels of silver, which is unreasonable in itself." Mother Gu had already ventilated the old lady, and the second master gave the third girl a box before he died. If nothing goes wrong, this box contains the silver left over from the second room, and it is conservatively estimated that there should be more than 100,000 taels or more. β
Moon Ring fell silent for a moment. Yuehuan looked down on Mo's style, and even the money of an orphan girl was calculated with all her heart; But since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, not to mention such a large amount of money; The so-called husband is innocent and guilty, and it is blamed on why the second master put so much money to the third girl.
The tung oil lamp on the table crackled and flickered with a tiny light.
Aunt Su also felt that the world was impermanent: "The third girl came back and immersed herself in copying scriptures, and even the old lady was not close; Mrs. also bought the third girl's nurse Gu's mother, and with the help of Gu's mother, the third girl and Mrs. were also very close. But two months ago, I didn't know what had happened, and the three girls who were bent on copying scriptures suddenly changed; not only drove Gu's mother away, but also took Young Master Tingzheng, who had ignored him before, to his side to teach, and later brought back the henchman and grandmother beside the second lady. There is an old lady here, and the lady can't help the three girls. If only the three girls had been copying the scriptures with peace of mind, but now the three girls suddenly became shrewd. Now that the old lady is still there, the lady does not dare to act rashly, but the mansion will not be peaceful after the old lady is over. β
Yuehuan's heart pounded: "Auntie, did the third girl suddenly not only dislike Madame, but also hate and even hate Madame?" If it was as she guessed, the moon ring was 100% sure that the three girls were reborn.
Aunt Su was a little strange about her daughter's question, but she still said: "Well, I can't talk about hatred, but I am no longer close to my wife, and I even pushed the second girl to the ground." If it weren't for the old lady's protection, the lady would have done it to the third girl a long time ago. "Actually, according to Aunt Su, it's good that this money will reach Mrs. as soon as possible. The third girl is just a child, and it is not safe to hold such a large sum of money in her hand after all, but now looking at the third girl's style, I am afraid that the lady will not be able to get a penny.
Yuehuan's hand shook for a moment, and by now she was 100% sure that this third girl was really reborn. Overnight, his temperament changed drastically, and he was either crossed over or reborn, and the crossing was ruled out, leaving only rebirth. This can also understand why the three girls learn everything quickly.
Before Yuehuan could continue to think about it, Aunt Su said: "Madame has been wondering for a long time, but not long ago, Madame finally knew the reason why the three girls were not close at once. β
Yuehuan looked at Aunt Su in disbelief, could it be that the rebirth of the third girl has been known to many people? No, if so, how can the three girls live well in the mansion.
Aunt Su didn't know what Yuehuan was thinking: "It is said that the second lady told the third girl that Gu's mother was unreliable, so she drove Gu's mother out." As for more, she didn't hear about it, but since the second lady can talk about Mother Gu, she will definitely not fall behind the eldest lady. The second lady is a very smart person, otherwise the lady would not be bored in front of the second lady three or four times.
Yuehuan opened her mouth, can't it, Yueyao used this reason to prevaricate what she did: "Auntie believed?" "This reason is also successful, it's too child's play.
Aunt Su nodded: "Fourth girl, Aunt told you this to let you know that Mrs. and Third Girl will not live in peace in the future." Girl, the three girls can't be contaminated. β
Yuehuan couldn't help but ask, "Why?" β
Aunt Su shook her head: "Madame plotted the money of the three girls, if it was like before, it would definitely be nothing, but since the third girl noticed it and took precautions, Madame would not succeed so easily." Madame's plan is afraid that it will come to naught. But Madame will not admit defeat so easily, and we will inevitably be involved when the time comes. β
Moon Ring fell into deep thought. If Yue Yao is really a reborn lady, she will definitely not be able to calculate her money, and not only that, Yue Yao is likely to take revenge on the Mo family. In order to confirm her guess even more, Yuehuan couldn't help but ask, "Why did my aunt say that Madame's plan might come to naught."
Aunt Su smiled bitterly: "When the third girl first returned to the capital, she would concentrate on copying scriptures, and she didn't care about foreign affairs. But now, not only do I know how to please the old lady, but I am also close to the Ma family and the Li family. The three girls are actually seeking backing by doing this. With these backings, Mrs. has scruples, and she will be constrained in doing things, and she will definitely not be able to do what she wants. β
Yuehuan asked softly, "What scruples does Madame have?" β
Aunt Su explained: "The lord is an official in the court, and the most important thing is reputation. The three girls are now fostered in the big house with both parents dead, and if it is spread that the lady is plotting to rob the third girl's money, it will not only affect the master's career, but also hinder the future of the eldest young master and the second girl. β
Yuehuan seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "So, Mrs. can't fight the three girls?" "If that's the case, then can she join forces with the three girls?
Aunt Su's heart trembled, she really didn't guess that Yuehuan wanted to be close to Yueyao. She must dispel this thought of Yuehuan: "Three girls are three girls, we are us." The biggest advantage of the three girls is not the children in the second room, but we are different. Four girls, the aunt's deed is still in the hands of the lady, and the life and death of the aunt are in the lady's thoughts. The future of you and Lun Ge'er is also in the hands of Madame, we can only listen to Madame's words, and Madame will do whatever Madame tells us to do. Otherwise, we have only a dead end. β
Yuehuan heard Aunt Su say that the body deed was in Mo's hands, and the whole person was stunned, and the body deed was still on Mo's body, does it mean that Aunt Su is still a subordinate.
Aunt Su actually didn't want to say this to Yuehuan, but people must face the reality, she doesn't want her daughter to go the wrong way, you must know that one wrong step is the wrong step: "You and Brother Lun can grow up peacefully because you are mediocre." Fourth girl, if it weren't for my aunt's hard work, you and Brother Lun would either be dead or useless. β
Yuehuan's eyes are about to pop out.
Aunt Su briefly talked about Mo's temperament, and those who died at the hands of Mo's over the years have seven or eight lives, which shows Mo's ruthlessness. Moon Ring was so frightened that his face turned bloodless.
Aunt Su said with a sad face: "Don't talk about the dead, but you see Brother Chao She was completely raised by Mrs. Chao; The future of the eldest girl is also worried. My aunt doesn't want your sister and brother to be rich and rich, she just wants you and Brother Lun to grow up safely, and in a few years, you can marry a good family in peace; Brother Lun married and separated, and I was satisfied. β
Yuehuan was stunned, and had not yet recovered from the shock just now.
Aunt Su grabbed Yuehuan's hand and said, "Girl, you must not get close to the third girl anymore." Madame spared you this time for the sake of your previous injury and loss of memory; There will be another time, Madame will not spare us. β
Yuehuan muttered, "Do you have to be restrained by him for the rest of your life?" "If so, what kind of days are these days, and there is no daylight.
Aunt Su said hurriedly: "No, no, the girl will endure it for a few more years, and when the girl gets married, she will no longer suffer such grievances, and now the girl can only endure it." β
Yuehuan was silent, imagining was one thing, the cruel reality in front of her was another, and she needed time to get used to it.
Aunt Su looked at her daughter's disgraced face, her heart was like a knife, if she could, she really didn't want to take this step.
The personal maid beside Aunt Su said: "Auntie, there is no need to be so anxious about this matter.
When the girl learns a lesson, she will definitely listen to her aunt. The maid thought that Aunt Su was in too much of a hurry, and she was worried that it would backfire.
Aunt Su looked at the bean-sized flames on the table, swaying left and right, as if they would be extinguished at any time, and her life was not like this, if she was not careful, she would die. She is not afraid, but she still has a pair of children, what if she dies two children, she doesn't believe that Mo can treat her children well: "I am measured." β
It's not that she doesn't have time to wait, it's that she doesn't dare to wait. She knows Madame's temperament very well, as long as she wants it, she must get it, even if she does not hesitate to do so, Madame will definitely not let go of the money in the hands of the third girl, and there will be some infighting at that time.
If the third girl hadn't changed, she was very sure that Madame would have gotten the money. But now, Aunt Su is not sure. All the things that the three girls have done seem to be inconsequential, but they are guarding against Madame in everything, and the precautions are not terrible, what is terrible is the girl's mind.
The mansion invited the grandmother and the husband to embroider, but the girl only chose to learn the rules, embroidery, calligraphy, and nothing else. On the face, she was filial piety, but she saw through at a glance that the three girls learned useful things. The rules are basic, embroidery and calligraphy are the faΓ§ade, as for the piano, chess, painting and poetry and songs, they are all useless, that is to say, the girl has learned to choose what is beneficial to herself, and discard what is useless to herself.
It's normal to know how to make trade-offs, but it's not normal for the three girls to make such trade-offs. The third girl is a talented girl, and it is normal for a talented girl to like piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, how can she spend so much effort learning embroidery. The three girls did all kinds of things that couldn't help but make her frightened.
If the four girls were like before, she wouldn't be worried, but after the four girls fell, they became simpler. If you have more contact with the three girls, with the minds of the three girls, they will definitely sell their daughters at that time, and their life and death are still in the hands of the lady.
Aunt Su said to herself: "It would be nice if the third girl hadn't become smarter." "In that case, Madame will be able to get what she wants easily, and the mansion will be peaceful.
Aunt Chen got the news from Yueying and knew that Yueyao had refused, so she was so disappointed at the moment, why couldn't she agree? Mr. Zhu can teach Lian Tingzheng, who is as stupid as a pig, and he will definitely be able to teach Tingchao.
Aunt Chen went to the front yard to visit Tingchao that day. But Ting Chao not only ignored Aunt Chen, but also scolded Aunt Chen angrily.
The little maid who followed secretly told Aunt Chen that the third young master had a fight with someone, and Mr. would definitely tell the master about this matter, and the third young master would definitely be punished.
Aunt Chen panicked, if the master knew, the master was a strict person, and he would definitely have to be served by the family law at that time, the last time the son was used the family law and lay in bed for half a month, if he wanted to serve the family law again, he would not lie down for another half a month, and more importantly, if he continued like this, the son would be destroyed sooner or later. Aunt Chen was dedicated to her son, and all her current scruples were forgotten, and she went directly to find Yueyao.
Yue Yao was a little strange when she heard Aunt Chen coming, what is this for, it can't be for Tingchao again: "Why is Auntie free to come over, Auntie, please take a seat." β
Aunt Chen didn't beat around the bush with Yueyao: "Third girl, I want to tell the third girl alone." "She can't wait a moment now.
Yue Yao smiled slightly: "It's okay to say to people, my aunt has something to say, but please say it." "I won't say it to Moh, but I will definitely tell the old lady.
Aunt Chen had no choice but to beg Yueyao for help.
Yue Yao shook her head and refused: "Aunt Chen, I told my eldest sister before that I can't call the shots about this matter." Aunt Chen, I hope you don't embarrass me. "It is already a great favor owed by their sister and brother to let Tingzheng study with Li Han, where can they continue to ask for no reason.
Aunt Chen begged bitterly: "Third girl, you can help me ask." If the Li family refuses, I will admit it. Third girl, I beg you. As he spoke, he knelt down. Fortunately, Hua Bud and Qiao Lan were quick and stopped her.
Yueyao smiled bitterly: "Auntie, you really embarrass me, I really can't do anything about this." "It's really hard for a strong man.
Mother Hao walked in from outside, looked at Aunt Chen, who was crying uncontrollably, and muttered a few words in Yueyao's ear.
Yue Yao glanced at Hao's mother suspiciously, and saw Hao's mother nodding. Yue Yao was silent for a moment and then said, "Aunt Chen, I don't know if your grandmother and eldest uncle know about the fact that you came to beg me to let the third young master go to the Li family to study?" If my grandmother agrees, I'll write to Uncle Lee. β
Aunt Chen was stunned for a moment, but for the sake of her son, Aunt Chen still decided to let go: "If the master agrees, can the girl send the third young master to the Li Mansion to go to private school?" β
Yue Yao shook her head: "No, I'm not the owner, I can only write to ask, if it can be done, Uncle Li has to agree." β
Mr. Zhu also has requirements for accepting students, not everyone accepts them. Ting Zheng's situation, Li Guoxun told him in detail before Yue Yao met Mr. Zhu. Later, Yueyao said that she didn't expect Tingzheng to take the imperial examination, and Mr. Zhu didn't have a burden to teach, seeing Tingzheng's qualifications, it was inevitable that he would be a little casual when he taught like that, of course, casual does not mean that it is perfunctory, but he is not so attentive to Li Han, and he is not strict.
Ting Zheng wrote to Yue Yao himself, saying that he was all right in the Li Mansion, and the only bad thing was that he couldn't see his sister.
Aunt Chen was also reluctant to give up this hope: "I will go and beg the old lady and the master, and please ask the third girl to bother more." β
Yue Yao looked at the back of Aunt Chen's departure, and her heart was a little sour. Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. Although Aunt Chen had done something wrong before, her motherly heart for Ting Chao was still moving. Yueyao even thought about it at this moment, or she would go and ask Uncle Li to forget it, but this thought only flashed in her heart.
Mother Deng glared fiercely at Aunt Chen's departing back. Although it is pitiful, this is obviously embarrassing for its own girl.
Yueyao was a little puzzled: "Why did Aunt Chen ask for my head?" What is she doing this for? "Aunt Chen begged her, begged her, an orphan girl with no father and mother, this is tantamount to slapping the face of the eldest uncle and aunt, and it will be Aunt Chen who will be unlucky at that time.
After Yueyao finished asking, Mother Deng didn't reply, but Mother Hao's face was a little complicated. Yue Yao sighed softly and went back to the bedroom.
