Ma was chatting happily with Mrs. Dingyuanbo's mother and daughter, and the noisy screams of the maid sounded in the courtyard, Ma couldn't help frowning, his face sank, and he glanced at Mama Duan, who was standing aside.

Mama Duan hurriedly nodded and walked out quickly, and before she could go around the Duobao Pavilion, Songzhi opened the curtain and hurriedly walked in, her face extremely ugly.

When the mother and daughter of the Dama family came, Mama Duan drove away the people of Fulu Courtyard, and only waited in the house by herself, and asked the big girl Songzhi to guard the door.

Now that there is a lot of noise in the yard, something must have happened, and Songzhi is usually a steady person, but at the moment his face is pale and flustered, which confirms Mama Duan's guess.

Mama Duan chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly asked for the old lady: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" ”

Songzhi didn't care about saluting, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, the car of the fourth lady and a few girls was stopped on Sitong Street by the side concubine of King Xin, and the subordinates of King Xin's mansion lawlessly dragged the fourth lady and a few girls out of the carriage and kicked and beat them in the street. Now...... Now the fourth lady and several girls are injured. ”

When Ma heard that several girls were dragged out of the carriage and kicked, his eyes turned black, his body shook, and he almost fainted. It was Mrs. Pingyi Hou who supported Ma in time, and Ma did not fall on the Luohan bed.

She slowly stood up, her eyes widened, and said, "What about them now?" What did the injury look like? ”

Songzhi replied: "Now the fourth lady has entered the mansion and is coming here, the specific injury is not clear, the little maid has not said clearly, I think the fourth lady and the girls will come over soon." ”

Ma hurriedly took Mrs. Pingyi's hand and walked out, while instructing Songzhi and said, "Quick, go find the Hou Ye, the Shizi Ye, and the third master." ”

The ladies of the Ding'an Hou Mansion were beaten on the street by the people of the palace, such a thing is no longer a matter of the inner house, and the men of the Hou Mansion need to come forward.

Hearing this, Matsueda hurriedly responded and hurried away.

Mrs. Pingyi Hou helped Ma out of the house, and as soon as she arrived at the porch, she saw a group of people outside the courtyard carrying a few shoulders over. Ma Shi went down the steps, and saw Su Yingying sitting on the head and shoulders from a distance.

The sunset shone on Su Yingying's body, reflecting her red, purple and purple face like a palette, it was really a blue nose and swollen face, where was there still half of the previous half of the fairy and jade appearance?

If it weren't for the clothes she was wearing, as well as the big girl Dongmei who followed her, Ma would almost not recognize anyone.

Seeing that Su Yingying's clothes were torn in many places, lying on her shoulders and closing her eyes tightly, Ma never thought that the people of Xinwangfu would dare to beat people on the street like this, her whole body trembled violently, and she fell backwards as soon as she rolled her eyes and raised her head.

She caused a burst of exclamations, and Mrs. Pingyi Hou scolded the messy maids, and said, "What are you arguing about, why don't you quickly carry the old lady into the house, please doctor." ”

Seeing that a group of maids had gathered around, she commanded again: "Don't all swarm up, divide some people to pack up the things and compartments, put the girls in, and hurry to the girls' respective yards to call the maids to come and serve." ”

The maids scattered, and then they were busy settling Su Yingying and Su Yingyu, and Mrs. Pingyi Hou and Mrs. Dingyuan followed Su Yingyue into the west wing, and watched the maids help Su Yingyue to lie down on the soft couch under the east window.

Su Yingyue threw herself into Mrs. Dingyuan's arms and cried, Mrs. Dingyuanbo patted Su Yingyue's back, her face full of distress.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pingyi Hou comforted: "There is a wound on the face, don't cry, carefully leave the scar." ”

Su Yingyue was shocked at this time, and hurriedly stopped crying, Mrs. Pingyi Hou took Su Yingyue's face and took a closer look, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Fortunately, these wounds are shallow, and they won't leave scars, what is going on?" ”

Su Yingyue relaxed when she heard that there would be no scars, and she told her in detail about the encounter with King Xin's concubine blocking the way, and then stroked her head and said, "I don't know how much my hair has been torn off, and my whole scalp hurts." ”

Mrs. Pingyi Hou took a look at Su Yingyue's hair, and saw that there were two places where the hair was obviously sparse and tight, and the scalp was also red and swollen, seeing that it was bloody, she couldn't help but gasp, and said with some annoyance: "This fourth girl in your house is too good at causing trouble!" Forget it when I rush to tie up with the county lord, now that the county lord of Mingxia has an accident, I should make a sad look at home and put it on, what kind of shop will I go to the street at this time, this is going to change me, and I can't get angry to block her. Look at the hair that is being torn, if it is a wounded hair root, how can it be good to turn around and not grow hair again!? ”

Su Yingyue's face turned pale with fright, and she didn't care about pretending to be a sister, so she cried with resentment on her face: "Aunt doesn't know, the fourth sister only received an invitation from the eldest princess's mansion two days ago, and today she is going to Chuyi Pavilion to make clothes to participate in the flower party." ”

Mrs. Pingyi Hou heard that she had two more points of contempt for Su Yingying, but the lord of Mingxia County had an accident because she came to participate in Su Yingying's banquet, this one is good, she didn't feel a little sorry and sad, and she even thought about climbing high branches and going to participate in the flower viewing party in the princess's mansion.

On the side, Mrs. Dingyuan said, "What about the concubine? Why haven't you seen it? ”

Mrs. Pingyi Hou also had a slightly cold face when she heard this, she had long wanted to see this lowly concubine in her sister's family, but she wanted to see who the demon was and how powerful it was.

Su Yingyue was stunned for a moment, and said, "I don't know, she was still there when she entered the mansion just now, didn't she come to Fulu Courtyard with her?" ”

Su Yingyue has never been in pain like today since she was so old, she was in pain and shock, where could she still pay attention to Yingluo's movements.

And Yingluohe really didn't follow to Fulu Courtyard, she followed outside Fulu Courtyard, and was about to enter the courtyard, when the little maid Qiu'er quietly approached her, saying that Mrs. Dingyuan Uncle and Mrs. Pingyi Hou had come for an hour.

When Yingluo heard about this, even if she turned around and quietly went back to Qiushui Courtyard, she never came to Fulu Courtyard at all.

Joke, at this moment, there is a mess in the Fulu Courtyard, who knows if Song's mother and sister will take advantage of this mess and have no principal, so they will ask the subordinates they brought to beat themselves up. She won't send it to the enemy herself.

Yingluo returned to Qiushui Courtyard and told Mother Yun what happened today, and Mother Yun turned white with fear and said, "The girl feels the matter of Chu Yige, Shuangxing ......."

Before she finished speaking, Shuangxing's voice sounded outside, saying, "The slave and maid ask to see the girl, and the slave and maid have something to do." ”

Yingluo and Yun's mother were talking in the house, and Brother Miao stayed outside, obviously Shuangxing was about to enter the house but was stopped by Brother Miao.

Yingluo glanced at Yun's mother, Yun's mother got up and went out, and led Shuangxing in for a while, Shuangxing knelt down and held some broken osmanthus cake dregs wrapped in a peach-pink handkerchief in both hands and presented it to Yingluo, and said: "Girl, when the slave maid left the house today, she rode in the same carriage as the third girl's maid Liu Ye, Liu Ye persuaded the slave and maid to use two pieces of osmanthus cake, and the slave and maid suddenly had abdominal pain when they arrived at Chu Yige, so they left the girl and went to the toilet. The slave thought about it, except for these two pieces of osmanthus cake, there would be no more things on the side that were unclean. So when they returned home, the slave and maid climbed into the carriage and looked for the plate of osmanthus cake. It's a pity that the osmanthus cake has been poured out, but there are some pieces left on the plate, and the slave maid put it away. Ask the girl to find someone to check this pastry, the slave and maid really dare not betray the master, and have bad intentions. ”

Hearing this, Yingluo hurriedly stood up, personally helped Shuangxing up, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and said: "If you hadn't insisted that I hadn't entered Yingluo Pavilion today, I would really not be able to get rid of myself, how could I doubt you, just now I told my mother that I wanted to reward you." ”

Yingluo said, Mother Yun had taken a pair of shrimp bracelets with red gold inlaid treasures, pulled Shuangxing's gloves on them, and said with a grateful smile: "Thanks to you today, the girl is weak in this mansion and is in a difficult situation, my mother is old, and her brain and energy are not as flexible as you girls, and the girl will have to honor you and Brother Miao a lot in the future." ”

Shuang Xing saw that the red gold bracelet was heavy, the workmanship was also exquisite, and the top was also inlaid with red sapphires, which was extremely precious, and her face showed a flattered look, and she hurriedly went to remove the bracelet, and said: "The slave maid is the maid that the old lady gives to the girl, and it is the duty of the slave maid to serve a good girl, how dare you accept such a heavy reward from the girl." ”

Yingluo held Shuangxing's hand and said with a smile: "Since you know your duty, you should know that the thunder and rain and dew given by the master should be continued, and you can't shirk it." You're white-skinned, and you look just right with such a bracelet. You're not too young, so it's time to save some dowry for the future. Take it quickly. ”

The jewelry used by ordinary masters to reward slaves and maids is customary, most of them are plain silver, gilded objects, and the master rewards such a bracelet with sufficient weight and inlaid with precious stones, which is a generous treatment. And today, whether it is Yun's mother or the girl, she speaks to her with a little more intimacy and true feelings, Shuangxing feels that this is the recognition of her new master, and she has a smile on her face, blessed her body, and does not refuse.

Yingluo watched Shuang Xing stroke the bracelet in her hand and go out, and then said to Yun's mother: "Mom took advantage of the chaos in Fulu Courtyard at this time, so she quickly went to find her younger brother and asked him to send Ma Liu to Chu Yige to tie up that person and interrogate him well!" ”

Mother Yun answered, and walked out of the house quickly.

In the Fulu Courtyard, the Ma family has woken up slowly, there is such a thing in the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and it is inconvenient for Mrs. Dingyuan and Mrs. Pingyi Hou to stay for a long time, and when they saw Ma wake up, they asked for their leave.

The two left, Ma Shi held Mama Duan's hand and got up to go to the wing room to see a few granddaughters, she just arrived at the door of the east wing room and heard Bai's heart-rending cry from inside.

"Ying'er, the concubine of King Xin, how can you beat my son like this, there is no royal law at the feet of this son of heaven?! My son, how can you let your mother live! ”

Ma's eyes flashed in front of Su Yingying's appearance of lying on her shoulder, only thinking that the Xinwang Mansion had taken Su Yingying's life to pay for the life of the county lord of Mingxia, and her body shook and almost fainted, Mama Duan hurriedly opened the curtain and helped Ma's hand into the house.

In the house, Su Yingying was lying on the beauty couch, with a soft big pillow under her, her hair was scattered, her eyes were closed, and Bai was sitting next to her, holding Su Yingying's hand and crying and wiping her tears.

Ma Shi entered the house, and saw that although Su Yingying's injuries were terrifying, her chest was clearly undulating, so she breathed a sigh of relief. When Bai heard the movement and saw Ma enter the house, he hurriedly got up and pounced on Ma's, knelt down and said: "Old lady, Ying'er was beaten like this, Xinwangfu deceived people too much, where can Ying'er's death be blamed for the death of the county lord of Mingxia, Xinwangfu is a bully, and there is no king's law, the old lady must be the master of Ying'er, and she must present it to the emperor and severely punish the concubine of King Xin." ”

Ma's heart was also full of resentment, so Mama Duan helped Bai up, walked quickly to the beauty couch and sat down, took a closer look at the injuries on Su Yingying's face, and saw that there were mostly nail scratches, those bruises did not expect to leave traces, and the scratches were not too deep, and they must not leave scars, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the fourth lady in the West Wing also ran over with Su Yingyu and Su Yingxue, crying: "Sister Ying'er is wronged, isn't my rain girl Xue girl even more wronged, mother, look at what these two girls have been beaten into, how can they go out in the future if this kind of thing happens." ”

Xiao Liu said and pushed the Su Yingyu sisters behind him, and the sisters rushed to Ma's side, lying on Ma's knee and crying.

Ma Shi saw that the two flower-like girls also had multiple injuries on their faces, they were all wolves, their eyes were red and swollen from crying, they stroked their hair with distress and pity, coaxed in a low voice, and said: "The matter of the county lord of Mingxia can't complain about the girls in our house, the concubine of the king is so arrogant and domineering, and the ladies in the capital all know right and wrong, only sympathy and don't laugh at you, don't cry, grandmother knows that you have been wronged." After a while, your grandfather and uncle will come, and your grandmother will consult with them to impeach the king and ask for an explanation for your sisters. Grandmother will also hand a sign into the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, saying that nothing can be allowed to trample on our Ding'an Hou Mansion like this. ”

Bai couldn't help but show resentment when he saw Xiao Liu, and said: "The fourth brother and sister took the girls out well but came back with injuries all over their bodies, how can the aunt watch her niece being beaten and don't know if she is alive or dead, I see that the rain girl and the snow girl are still alive, and poor my Ying'er is still unconscious." ”

Bai's is not good at words, but at this moment, he saw that his baby daughter couldn't wake up and was covered in injuries, and he saw that Su Yingyu's sisters could still cry and scream although they were wolves, so they immediately complained about Xiao Liu's family, and felt that Xiao Liu's family was protecting his daughter, but he didn't care about Su Yingying's life or death. For a while, he blurted out the words of resentment.

Xiao Liu's stomach was already full of anger and pain all over his body, but when he heard this, he immediately exploded, and he threw himself on Bai's body crying, and said, "What did sister-in-law say this?" If it weren't for the good daughter you gave birth to climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix, if you had to lure the county lord out of the house, the concubine of the king would come to the door? My pair of daughters provoke whom, but they will suffer such humiliation, you look at my hair, the wound on my face, the feeling of this wound did not grow on the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law does not know my pain, I don't know the grievances of your nieces! My sister-in-law also came to taste the taste, to see if my daughter was alive, whether she was safe and sound, and whether it hurt us or not. ”

Xiao Liu raised his hand as he said and greeted Bai's face and hair bun, like a shrew, Bai was caught in a bun when he was caught off guard, and his face was also drawn twice, screaming again and again.

Xiao Liu was a little angry, and seeing that the old lady was already annoyed, he threw away Bai's, knelt down in front of Ma and cried, and said: "Mother, you can call the shots for your daughter-in-law, it's not that your daughter-in-law refuses to protect her niece, it's really that the person who believes that the palace wants to beat is her, and we are all piggybackers, how can we protect it." ”

Xiao Liu's words still said that Su Yingying was tired of her sisters, and Su Yingyu's sisters also cried aggrievedly in Ma's arms. Ma actually had some resentment towards Su Yingying in his heart, and felt that this granddaughter's heart was too big, if she hadn't died and begged to invite the county lord of Mingxia in vain, such a thing would not have happened.

Something happened to the county lord of Mingxia, and it was also this granddaughter who came to the eldest princess's mansion to enjoy the flowers again, at that time, she was infected by the excitement of her and her eldest daughter-in-law, and she was confused for a while, forgetting about the matter of the county lord of Mingxia, thinking that Su Yingying had a good appearance, and she really climbed the eldest princess's mansion to say that she could return to the first-class social circle of the capital again if she couldn't go to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, which was up to their mother and daughter.

Now that it is like this, although she is at fault, she also blames Su Yingying, the granddaughter, for being too swaggering and cold.

Ma Shi thought about it, looking at the sideburns scattered, and the Bai family who wanted to make trouble again felt disgusted, looking at Su Yingying lying there, the pity in his heart was also much lighter, and a stern look swept towards the Bai family, Bai Shi immediately shrunk his neck, and glared fiercely at Xiao Liu, who was crying and wiping his tears, but he didn't dare to say more.

Outside the house, the second lady Liu was hiding under the porch and listening to the movement in the house, covering her mouth and snickering, this time the girls who went out of the house all went, but her daughter Su Yingqiu was left in the house. Bai's words are good, the Tao is that her eleventh girl is too young, not yet old enough to dress up and go out, she only made three sets of clothes this autumn, and she saw that she should make winter clothes again, so she didn't take Su Yingqiu out to make new clothes this time.

What the Bai family said is high-sounding, not all because the second room is a concubine, but the poor Qiu'er is also a serious concubine, but she is not even as good as a concubine in the third room.

Liu has a lot of whispers in his heart, but because he is a concubine and daughter-in-law, he has to rely on his lineage to survive, but he doesn't dare to say much.

Shizi, the second master and Su Dingwen hurried to Fulu Courtyard when they heard the news, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw the second lady standing under the porch, leaning against the wall of the west wing, lying on the edge of the window, covering her stomach and laughing. In the room, there were faint cries of the eldest lady Bai and the fourth lady Xiao Liu.

Su Dinggong's eyes fell on Liu's body, he looked back at the second master with a dark face, snorted coldly, and said, "Should the second brother discipline his wife well, don't be in the aunt's room all day long!" ”

The second master is a concubine, and he is taught to be submissive, and now the Hou Ye has long been careless, and the second room is living on the long room, the second master has always been afraid of Su Dinggong, the eldest son, and his face darkened when he heard the words, and he walked two steps up the steps first, and scolded angrily: "Stupid woman! Don't you know the truth of one prosperity and one loss? ”

After that, he raised his hand and slapped Liu's cheek, knocking Liu to the ground, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

Liu's flodenfreude was too much, she didn't notice the arrival of the second master and others at all, and when she noticed it, the second master had already rushed up the steps angrily, and before she had time to clean up the smile on her face, the person was already fanned by the second master, and she sat on the ground stunned for a while, and even patted her legs and cried.

Su Dinggong went up the steps, and scolded the second master who was still about to do it with a calm face, "The second brother wants to control his wife's room, go back and close the door, what do you like, what are you talking about in your mother's house!" ”

The second old man hurriedly glared at the second lady who couldn't stop crying, but the second lady seemed to have been greatly wronged, not only did she stop crying, but she howled louder.

In the house, Ma Shi heard the movement and walked out with Mama Duan's hand, she was in the house by the Bai family, the Liu family and the Su Yingyu sisters crying brain pain, came out and saw that Xiao Liu was also sitting on the ground crying, and immediately stared at it with poisonous eyes, and shouted: "Howling like a shrew, isn't it embarrassing?!" ”

was drunk by Ma's, Liu was scared, didn't dare to cry anymore, hung his head but his eyes were full of resentment, and his heart was embarrassed in the house, what is she like this.

Ma took Su Dingwen and the three into the flower hall, and it happened that the doctor was also invited, because the female dependents were injured, so they also brought two medical women. The wing room was properly arranged, and after the doctor checked the pulse of Xiao Liu and others through the screen, the doctor checked the injuries on the body.

Ma sat in the flower hall and waited anxiously, and it took half an hour for Mama Duan to come in and replied: "The doctor and the doctor have already shown the fourth lady and a few girls, the fourth lady, the ninth girl, and the tenth girl all have some light injuries, and they have left plasters to apply." Only three girls...... The doctor said that the hair was pulled too badly, and he was afraid that it would hurt the scalp, and that there would be no place where it would be difficult to grow hair. ”

Hearing this, Ma's face showed pity, and seeing that Mama Duan hesitated and paused, she couldn't help but turn slightly pale and said, "What about the four girls, but what's wrong?" ”

Mama Duan said again: "The fourth girl has a lot of injuries, and the external injuries can be healed, but it's just ...... It's just that it hurts the heart, and the horror will fall into the heart palpitations in the future. ”

Heart disease is the most incurable, hearing this, Ma Shi gasped, half a sigh, said: "This is really a disaster from the sky." ”

Su Dinggong, the prince on the side, slapped the table, his face was full of anger, and he said hatefully: "My son will write an excerpt and submit it to the Holy Lord, impeaching the king of letters!" Early tomorrow morning, my son will go to the office of his colleagues to contact and walk around, and he will jointly fold his name. ”

The second old man also echoed angrily when he heard this, and said: "What the eldest brother said is extremely true, a concubine in the Wang's Mansion dares to disregard human life so much and trample on our Ding'an Hou Mansion, if I don't fight back, what face will my Ding'an Hou Mansion have in the capital." ”

Ma Shi was also full of resentment, and said: "In this way, my mother will also deliver a sign into the palace tomorrow to ask to see the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." You must unite a few more families, especially several in-laws, and they must unite to play impeachment together. ”

As soon as Ma's voice fell, the door curtain was opened, and Su Zhenjiang, the Marquis of Ding'an, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, strode into the flower hall, but he glared at Ma's with an angry face, and shouted: "Foolish woman! Who is this going to impeach! The granddaughter of the long house climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix, and she doesn't think about upbringing, who else is she going to impeach? The prince is so easy to impeach! ”

Ding'an Hou Su Zhenjiang has been obsessed with alchemy all these years, calling himself Danyang Zhenren, and has been meditating on alchemy in the Xuanqing Temple outside the city all the year round, and he will not appear in the Hou Mansion at all on weekdays. These two days were because of the Double Ninth Festival, so I went back to live in the house for a few days, and who knew that I encountered the beating of my female dependents.

He entered the house angrily, and Su Dinggong and the others hurriedly stood up and bowed.

Ma was scolded by Ding'an Hou in front of his sons, his face couldn't hold back, his face was white and blue, his eyes were black, and he said: "What is this Hou Ye, our daughter-in-law and granddaughter have been bullied, can you still let it go, and you can't be humiliated?" ”

Ding'an Hou strode over and sat down on the Taishi chair, glared at Ma Shi and said, "Look at your good house!" If you can restrain your granddaughter, why would you make such a joke. ”

After that, he slapped the table, looked at Su Dinggong, and said, "Your mother is a woman in the house, you are confused, are you also confused?" ”

Su Dinggong gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to squeak.

Ding'an Hou said again: "The dignified county lord died tragically on the street, and the matter involved the prince, the emperor is appeasing the Xinwang Mansion at this time, and when he feels guilty, how can he trust the face of the Wangfu for the Ding'an Hou's Mansion?!" Impeachment of the bullet? Jumping up and down and then without results, is it because the people who are lost by the Hou Mansion are not big enough? This kind of thing, the bigger the trouble, the more embarrassing it will be! I think you want to toss the Ding'an Hou Mansion and become a talking point after tea and dinner in the capital, so you are willing to give up! ”

Ding'anhou's words made Su Dinggong's heart tighten, clenching his fists, it was difficult to say a word, he knew that what Ding'anhou said was right, and it was indeed his distress for his daughter, and he was too careless.

Su Dinggong gritted his teeth and said, "What my father taught me is that my son is wrong, and my son has failed to recognize the form, and my son will definitely discipline his daughter well." ”

As soon as Su Dinggong's words fell, several exclamations sounded outside.

"Four girls! The four girls fainted again! God, the four girls vomited blood! ”

But it was Su Yingying in the west wing who had just woken up after being pricked by the medical woman, and heard that Su Dinggong and others were discussing today's matter with Ma's, so they asked Dongmei and Dongqing to come and listen, who would have thought that they had just arrived under the window and heard the conversation between Su Dinggong and Ding'anhou, and it was difficult to accept this result for a while, but I didn't expect that I had suffered a big fight in vain, not only became the laughing stock of the capital, but also lost all face.

Suddenly he couldn't stand the blow, and he vomited blood in his mouth, rolled his eyes and fainted.
