Aunt Li's face suddenly darkened, stinky girl, isn't this a sue to the old lady around the corner!

She doesn't eat it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Aunt Li pretended to be surprised, and said suspiciously, "Mother, you can blame me for this, I specially picked two well-behaved and sensible maids to serve Yun'er, before going to the Red Peony Courtyard, Qiu Ju and Dongmei were very obedient, almost nothing went wrong, who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the Red Peony Courtyard, it didn't take long for them to become so unruly?" ”

In a few words, Aunt Li brushed off the responsibility cleanly, but instead gave Ning Jinyun a stumbling block.

As the saying goes, what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is, if it is said that Qiu Ju and the others became unobedient after going to the Red Peony Courtyard, it is not equivalent to saying that Ning Jinyun is stubborn and unruly, so he took the maid to follow the naughty.

Ning Jinyun glanced at Li and heard something in her words.

"Grandmother, it's my neglect of discipline that makes some of the maids around me a little lazy, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." Ning Jinyun stood in front of the old lady with low eyebrows and admitted his mistake repeatedly.

She deliberately followed Li's words and took the fault on herself, she knew that her grandmother would not really blame her for this, after all, she was still young. On the contrary, in this way, the grandmother may also think that she is sensible and considers her differently.

Old Lady Ning's frowning brows gradually relaxed, she softened her expression, nodded and sighed, "Okay, it's just two maids who don't know the severity, just go back and send them out, and there is no need for us to say more." But Yun'er, you have always been too soft, it's no wonder that people are lazy and lazy, you have to grow a few more eyes after you go back, and you have to set rules for them. ”

This is true, but Mrs. Ning doesn't know that Ning Jinyun is no longer the second lady who used to be the only one.

"Although your Aunt Li is capable, after all, she still has three children to take care of, plus some trivial matters in the Ning Mansion also need her to take care of, and at the same time she has to take care of the affairs of the Peony Courtyard, she is really lacking in skills, and occasionally she may not take care of you in time, so you have to learn to deal with the big and small affairs of your own Red Peony Courtyard." Old Lady Ning stretched out her shriveled but tough hand, picked up the hot tea on the table next to her, moistened her throat, and continued, "You will get married sooner or later, and you have to learn to run a family." ”

Ning Jinyun lowered his eyes and listened, but his heart trembled.

Grandmother's words sounded bitter, as if they were for her good, but when it came to it, the last sentence was the point. Marrying and running a family, grandmother naturally wants her to be a shrewd woman who can run the family, because only in this way can she gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family after marrying out, and continue to help her mother's family to help the Ning family maintain its glory and power.

Most of the daughters of the Ning family are so useful. Anyway, it's all water that will be spilled sooner or later, who cares about their joys and sorrows, as long as it is useful to the Ning family.

In her previous life, Mrs. Ning had never cared about Ning Jinyun's marriage at all, thinking that it was because she was cowardly and useless that she regarded her as an outcast, and she didn't care about it for a long time, so Aunt Li could take the opportunity to marry her to Wang Xi, so that she had to commit suicide to escape the shame......

Ning Jinyun's gaze was freezing inch by inch, and there was a look of disdain at the bottom of his eyes.

"Yun'er, do you understand?" Seeing that she didn't squeak, Old Lady Ning asked again.

Ning Jinyun had no choice but to sigh heavily in her heart, although she didn't like her grandmother, she still had to follow the old lady's wishes for now, after all, it was the old lady who was really in charge of the Ning Mansion.

She nodded obediently, collected the displeasure in her eyes, put on a well-behaved face, and looked at the old lady, "Grandmother, you are right, Yun'er knows, but ......"

How could she let Aunt Li go so easily.

"But although Aunt Li is hardworking, Aunt Li is not negligent about Yun'er's affairs, you are wrong about this."

Old Lady Ning raised her eyebrows, "Really?" ”

Ning Jinyun looked at the confused Li family with his peripheral eyes, and his tone was very determined, "Of course, Aunt Li has always been worried about Yun'er, and she has often come to the Red Peony Academy to lecture in the past two days. ”

Old Lady Ning couldn't help but be curious, and said suspiciously, "Lecture...... What did she teach you? ”

"Aunt Li has reprimanded me almost six or seven times before and after, all for the matter of falling into the water, Aunt Li said that I have disgraced the Ning family and caused trouble to the elders, if it weren't for my illness, I should have been punished for copying the female commandment a hundred times, huh...... In short, it was to teach me that I should not go out without permission. After Aunt Li's teaching, Yun'er already knew that she was wrong, and she would never let her grandmother worry about me for such a trivial matter in the future. Ning Jinyun said slowly, a childish smile appeared on his face, as if he didn't care that he was reprimanded at all.

Old Lady Ke Ning and Aunt Li were completely different, and their faces were gloomy.

Old Mrs. Ning pulled her face and snorted meaningfully, "So that's the case, no wonder Yun'er kept saying that she did something wrong, and she cried a lot about it, it turned out that she was scolded, so she was so careful!" Six or seven times, or to a child? Li Jing, I asked you to help take care of Yun'er, that's how you took care of it? Are you so unkind to Hua'er and Rao'er? ”

Aunt Li's single name is a Jing character, and Mrs. Ning always calls her by her name.

Seeing this, Ning Jinyun quietly took two steps back and retreated to the second wife's side, she pinched the corners of her sleeves with thin brocade of gold silk, and her slender long fingers stroked the embosses on the fabric back and forth, ready to watch Li's good show.

Aunt Li was choked by the old lady's questioning, she was embarrassed, she didn't know how to answer, the expression on her face became more and more tangled, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her mouth deepened a lot, like two small curved furrows, embedded in her dull yellow skin.

"If you don't care before the accident, you know to scold after the accident, what are you?" Old Lady Ning squinted at Li and raised her voice, obviously she was very unhappy.

Old Mrs. Ning's anger was not all for Ning Jinyun, in fact, it was mainly for herself.

The old lady of the Ning family left early, for many years, it was the old lady Ning who came to control the family, she did not allow others to challenge her authority, so naturally no one dared to override her and did something without her permission.

The Li family has a strong temperament, and the old lady has long seen through it, so while the old lady puts some power to her, she will also look at her closely, and she will never be allowed to make her own decisions.

"I only let you take the time to help the Red Peony Courtyard, but I didn't let you deal with the affairs of the Red Peony Courtyard at will, and punished Yun'er for copying the female commandments? Who allowed you to do this, Yun'er is the granddaughter of the Ning family! The old lady sighed in a deep voice.

There is a difference between the concubines, Ning Jinyun was born to the wife of the main house, although she has no mother since she was a child, and she is not the eldest daughter, but she has always been a concubine, and she is always much more noble than the concubine in the eyes of outsiders.

Old Mrs. Ning's eyes were like a torch, like a knife to Aunt Li, and Aunt Li could only bow her head and admit her mistakes, she had to endure this moment, she was a smart person, and she knew that she should not refute the old lady at this time.

Then......

"Grandmother, you can't say that, my mother is also an elder no matter what she says, what's wrong with teaching the second sister a few words? Whoever made her run out of order and fell into the water, she should have been punished. A squeamish voice sounded, with a slightly domineering tone.

The person who spoke was none other than Li's daughter, Ning Jinrao.
