Chapter 37: Confrontation
The room was surprisingly quiet, Jiang Ruan stood quietly in place, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes seemed to be full of sadness.
Xia Yan's smile froze on his face, and the hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist. Jiang Ruan's words were nothing, but he quietly accused Jiang Susu of being rude. Who can be embarrassed by a girl who is returning home and longing for family affection? Sure enough, I saw that Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Ruan's gaze softened, and before Jiang Susu could react, she only heard Mrs. Jiang's displeased voice sound: "Su Niang, your eldest sister Fang is home, and it is natural for me to come to see my grandmother, and you are not allowed to mess around." โ
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment, it is true that what she said just now was deliberately aimed at Jiang Ruan, but she was also sure that Mrs. Jiang would not blame her, she was well-behaved and sensible over the years, and Mrs. Jiang loved her very much, but today was the first time she was angry with her. In the end, she is still young, Jiang Susu concealed a little reluctance, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry big sister, Su Su didn't mean it, big sister don't be angry, okay." โ
"You and I are sisters, how can I be angry." Jiang Ruan replied gently.
Old Madam Jiang was even more satisfied, and said, "You two sisters need more support, the big girl is doing very well today." โ
Xia Yan stepped forward with a smile: "Ruan Niang is naturally a good person, but Ruan Niang, I heard that Linlang made you angry today, it seems that it is for the sake of a subordinate, and the old lady wants to call the shots, what's going on?" โ
Jiang Susu was still nesting beside Old Madam Jiang, but her posture was not as natural as Fang Jin's house, and Old Madam Jiang also looked at her, obviously waiting for her to say something.
Jiang Ruan told the ins and outs of what happened outside Yanhua Garden, her tone was steady, and even the conversation between herself and Linlang was repeated word for word, but there was no embellishment, which was more convincing. After that, she looked at Mrs. Jiang: "Old lady, when my mother died, I was sick in bed, I only heard that Mama Zhou was out of the house, but I didn't want to see it today." I think it was a bold maid who said the wrong thing at that time. It's just that I don't know, Mama Zhou is my nurse, why did she get to this point? โ
Xia Yan sighed softly: "Ruan Niang, you are young, I don't want to tell you some things, in fact, after my sister died, Mama Zhou her; It's not that I went out of the house, but I stole my sister's jewelry and prepared to leave, Jiang's mansion is the most intolerant of unclean hands and feet, and Mama Zhou is your nurse, I'm afraid that your illness will worsen under your sadness and disappointment, so I discussed with the master, and punished Mama Zhou first, and didn't tell you. Xia Yan looked at her sincerely: "Now that I have taught you to know the Tao, my mother is here to make amends to you, but this person should really be punished, even if you want to misunderstand me, I don't regret my original decision." โ
Caique and Cuckoo both hung their heads and listened quietly, there was no part for them to speak, but they were secretly thinking in their hearts, Mrs. said that it was really leaky, and the big girl had nothing to say.
Jiang Ruan shook his head: "Although my mother dealt with the subordinates of Line Qingyuan on her own, and she didn't tell me a word in the past five years, but it was all for my sake, how could I blame my mother?" โ
Xia Yan's face was a little unsightly, but seeing that Jiang Ruan's face was more sincere than hers, he didn't seem to notice the irony in his words at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Jiang Ruan said again: "It's just that I still don't understand one thing, that is, the subordinate who stole the master's money and jewelry doesn't seem to be punished by gouging out his eyes and eating the night incense." The Jiang family is also a scholarly family, how can they do such a bloody thing? โ
"Pluck out your eyes and eat night incense?" Old Madam Jiang frowned: "What's going on?" She is a person who recites Buddhism, and has her own opinions on some things, she has always turned a blind eye to Xia Yan's methods, knowing that Xia Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but unlike this woman who speaks softly on weekdays, she can be so vicious to an unarmed nurse, which has touched her bottom line.
Xia Yan's voice was still gentle: "It's not like this, it's because I read that Mama Zhou is Ruan Niang's nurse, and I can't bear to punish her too heavily, so I sent her to the Huan Washroom, who knows that Mama Zhou still has the habit of stealing in the Huan Washroom, and has a dispute with other subordinates in the Huan Washhouse, and was gouged out of a pair of eyes, and the Huan Washhouse can't tolerate her, so she can only do the work of pouring night incense." โ
"I see," Jiang Ruan thought thoughtfully, "Where is the person who gouged out Mama Zhou's eyes now?" โ
"I've been expelled from the house." Xia Yan said: "As for eating night fragrance, that is Linlang's own idea, and I have already taught her a hard lesson." โ
After this action, it seems that she is virtuous and virtuous, and she takes the overall situation into account, but there is no place, it is all Jiang Ruan's calculations. Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "Mother is really kind, if it were me, I wouldn't do better." It's just that since Mama Zhou's sin is not so much, and now that I'm back, she is still counted as my lintel Qingyuan... No, Ruan Ju's people, can they let their mother be the master and agree to Ruan Niang's request? โ
Without waiting for Xia Yan to speak, Jiang Susu had already shouted: "Big sister, you want Mama Zhou to go back to your yard, aren't you afraid that she will steal things?" โ
"Ruan Niang, I know that you are a kind-hearted child, but Mama Zhou's character is really not suitable for being by your side, and she is a blind person, and she is just an idle eater in Ruan Ju, is it possible that you have to raise a subordinate to serve? Wouldn't the Chiang Mansion become a joke? Didn't the old lady think so too? โ
"Not bad." Old Madam Jiang nodded.
Jiang Ruan said: "I did this precisely for the sake of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Mansion has always been clear about right and wrong, and there are very rules and regulations, now Mama Zhou, a good and decent person, was gouged out of a pair of eyeballs under everyone's noses, will it be someone else next time, will it be more than just a pair of eyeballs, it will be rumored that everyone will think of our Jiang Mansion, will only say that Jiang Mansion is a mess, and will only say that the mother's housekeeper is unfavorable." If Mama Zhou is really unclean in Ruanju, I will be the first to send her to the government, if she can reform herself, it will be considered a fate of master and servant. And it's not like the blind can't do anything, and many people in the world who are born invisible still live well, right? โ
Seeing that Old Madam Jiang's expression loosened a little, and then listening to the unfavorable words of her housekeeper openly and secretly, Xia Yan frowned: "But this is unreasonable." โ
"Mother," Jiang Ruan interrupted her and said lightly: "Where there is a cause, there must be an effect, even if it is for the good results in the next life, it is best not to increase the bad karma in this life." โ
