30. Chapter 30: Dispute

Zhao's heart was already troubled, and he was very hesitant to hear the old lady reprimand An Jin, and then she even asked herself to take her little daughter to the eldest princess's mansion to apologize, so she was dissatisfied: "It turned out that Miss Li was arrogant, she was not inferior in her words, and she was in the back of smashing Sister Shu, and she was more intentional to use the hairpin to ruin my Sister Mei'er's appearance, so arrogant and vicious, she actually asked my Sister Jin to apologize?" If Sister Jin doesn't stop her, will she ruin my Sister Mei'er's appearance? She didn't dare to do anything, Sister Shu was still lying there. ”

The old lady saw Zhao's rebuttal, although she also knew that the fault was not all in Anjian, but did the queen mother and the eldest princess tell you about right and wrong? She was worried that she was afraid that the eldest princess of the Queen Mother would retaliate and implicate the Hou Mansion and felt that her face was refuted by her daughter-in-law, so she was very annoyed, and said: "The status of the eldest princess and the Miss Li family is precious, even if there is something wrong, you should be polite, how can you beat someone?" Still so ruthless? ”

Ruan Antan saw that her mother seemed to be about to refute again, so she hurriedly spoke out and persuaded gently: "Grandmother is angry, and mother just cares about her sisters. That Miss Li family is narrow-minded, she hurts people if she doesn't agree, and she doesn't like her beauty, if the seventh sister goes to the princess's mansion, she will not be good, won't she be humiliated at that time, our Ruan family is also a noble family, how will we deal with ourselves in the noble circle in the future? ”

Seeing her sister's eyes, Ruan Anmei hurriedly stepped forward to apologize: "Grandmother, this is all her granddaughter's fault." As an older sister, the granddaughter failed to protect her sisters, but asked her sisters to protect her, but her granddaughter was incompetent, and asked her grandmother to punish her granddaughter, don't blame her sisters. After saying that, his eyes turned red and he couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing this, Ruan Antong also stepped forward and hugged his grandmother's arm, and pouted: "Grandmother, it's really not the fault of the seventh sister this time, then Miss Li is really too vicious and rude." You see, the granddaughter's hand was cut by her maid, and her maid dared to be so rude, it was too deceitful. After speaking, he raised his right hand, and there was indeed a scratch on the back of his hand, although it was only a shallow one, lined with delicate little hands, it was still shocking and distressing.

Ruan Antong had been raised in the old lady's Shou'an Hall for a few years, the old lady loved Ruan Antong the most, when she saw the scratches on her hands, she was distressed, and temporarily forgot the previous topic, and asked if she had applied the ointment, and heard that she had applied the special repair and rejuvenation cream in the palace.

On the one hand, the old lady felt that Ruan Antan was polite, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for her granddaughters, and she was also disgusted with the vicious and domineering of Miss Li, but she was more worried about Ruan Anzhen's future, and she was afraid of the revenge of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, so she was very powerless. looked at the daughter-in-law with a black face on her neck, and then looked at An Jin, who was dumbfounded and expressionless, she was really angry.

An Jin is not like Ruan Antong, she has been raised by her and likes to be coquettish and foolish in front of her, and she has always had a weak sense of zĂ i in front of her, although she doesn't like anything, she doesn't like it much. She had nowhere to vent her anger and fright, and she couldn't help but turn her anger on An Jin.

The old lady stared at Ruan Anjin for a long time, and then thought of a way to think that she could not only appease the eldest princess's mansion but also maintain the dignity of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, and said: "In this case, why don't you send Sister Jin to live in Pulian Nunnery for half a year, so that the eldest princess's mansion and the second princess can rest their anger." ”

Pulianan is a famous Seishu nunnery in Kyoto, which was established by the original empress of the Yellow Emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and was inhabited by the royal or noble families or the noble wives or daughters of the monks or Qing Xiu, and the royal or noble families often sent the daughters-in-law and daughters who made mistakes or disobeyed to the nunnery for penance. However, the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law family who were sent to the nunnery can no longer ask questions, and whether they can be picked up or not depends on the owner of the nunnery. But the miraculous thing is that after coming out, everyone's hearts have changed greatly, even the stupid ones can hide their clumsiness, and they are silent about the things in the nunnery.

As soon as the old lady said this, everyone was startled, Ruan Antan saw that her mother Zhao's face was very bad, and she was worried that she would quarrel with her grandmother, so she spoke softly first: "Grandmother, the seventh sister is young, and the matter was not caused by her, how can you send her to Pulian Nunnery because of this, after all, it is a place of penance, when the seventh sister is still growing up, she can't take care of it anymore when she goes to the family, how can she stand it?" Mistaken the upbringing of the seventh sister, isn't it too late to regret it? ”

Ruan Anmei was already anxious when she heard the old lady's words, she felt guilty, knelt down and cried: "Grandmother, grandmother, it's useless to be a granddaughter, the seventh sister will go on this business trip to protect me, the seventh sister is young, and I hope that the grandmother will take back the punishment of the seventh sister, if someone must go to Pulian Nunnery to calm the anger of the eldest princess and the second princess, it is better for the granddaughter to go." ”

The old lady slowly glanced at everyone when she heard this, and saw that although Zhao's face was ugly, she only frowned, and she was not very angry, so she thought that Zhao also thought that this was a good method. Seeing that An Jin was just looking at herself with black eyes and seemed to be puzzled, and she didn't cry or cry in fright, she thought that she was still young, didn't know the depth, and it was easier to handle, so she eased her tone and said: "You don't need to say it, it is precisely because your seventh sister is young that she can be sent to Pulian Nunnery." There are many nobles in the nunnery, and the owner of the nunnery is the eldest princess Duanyi, the younger sister of Emperor Suzong. Sister Mei, you are old, and you are about to start discussing marriage, how can you go to the nunnery? ”

Ruan Antan frowned, saying that, where is the eldest princess's blue eyes so easy to get? The seventh sister has a smart temperament, and Pulian'an is a place of penance, where can she stand it? She glanced at her mother a little strangely, her mother was arrogant and impatient, and today she listened to her grandmother's words, but she has been silent and silent, what is the reason for this? Therefore, she didn't say anything more, and decided to wait and see how it got better, anyway, it wasn't so easy for grandmother to send her seventh sister to Pulian'an.

Ruan Anmei didn't know this, she was only frightened in her heart, and said anxiously: "Grandmother, there are so many people who have entered Pulian Nunnery over the years, and I haven't seen the eldest princess have a blue eye for anyone, but many people can't come out again when they go in, grandmother, my sister is still young, if she angers the nobles in the nunnery, how can you be good?" Thinking of An Jin's temper sometimes being weird, if he bumped into someone in the nunnery, and no one was to protect him and be beaten and scolded, tears rolled down his eyes again, and he whimpered, "Grandmother, it's all my fault, let's ask grandmother to let me go." ”

An Jin didn't pay much attention to the old lady's words that she was going to send her to Pulian'an, she didn't think that the old lady had much discretion over where she went, it can be seen that Ruan Anmei was still greatly moved by her anxious tears, so she couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged her, and persuaded in a low voice: "Fourth sister, this matter is still undecided, you don't have to worry, get up first and then talk about it, you have also suffered a lot of fright today, and if you cry in such a hurry, won't it hurt your body?" ”

Ruan Anmei saw that An Jin was only concerned about comforting herself at this time, worrying about her body, and she was even more sad and guilty, and her tears became more and more uncontrollable, and she fell down.

Zhao looked at her daughter kneeling and crying, frowning, describing it as very desolate, feeling depressed and uncomfortable, she covered her chest, and didn't care about any tone, only said coldly and angrily: "I'm not dead yet, crying and crying, Jin'er doesn't have to go anywhere, and she doesn't need any noble eyes." After speaking, she rubbed her chest, suppressed the discomfort for a while, got up and saluted the old lady, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is unwell, please forgive my mother, let my daughter-in-law take her sisters and children to retire first." Without looking at the old lady's face, she was ready to call her daughters away.

The old lady didn't expect her second daughter-in-law to be so faceless, she was directly rude, she was so angry that she fell back for a while, and pointed at Zhao's "you" for a long time without saying the second sentence.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ruan Antan hurriedly pretended to be panicked and rushed to the Zhao family to support her, and said, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you, your face is so ugly, are you tired from going to Huangzhuang today, or did you collide with something?" Then he turned back to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, my mother doesn't look good, so my granddaughter should hire a doctor to take a look, right?" Call Sister Ruan Anmei again, "Fourth sister, seventh sister, why don't you come and support your mother." ”

As he spoke, he helped Zhao to sit down on the chair, Zhao was really uncomfortable, and knew that the eldest daughter had always been a proper one, so he followed her service and sat back on the chair. Ruan Anmei Anjin didn't know why, she felt that her mother was really abnormal today, and thought that her mother was angry with the old lady, so she really listened to Ruan Antan's words and got up to serve the Zhao family. Only Ruan Antong saw that the old lady's face was not good, and she trembled with anger, but she still helped the old lady and looked at her mother who was surrounded by sisters in some panic.

The old lady was so angry with the Zhao family that several granddaughters only cared about surrounding the Zhao family, making her dazzling, only to feel that these white-eyed wolves were hurt in vain on weekdays.

The old lady stabilized her feelings, first patted Ruan Antong's hand holding her arm lovingly, turned her head and snorted coldly at Zhao's: "Second brother, since you are unwell, let's retire and rest." It's just that Sister Jin'er made a big mistake, so she stayed with my wife and let me be disciplined, and I sent her to Pulian Nunnery for self-cultivation another day. ”

After the old lady said these words, she waited for Zhao to jump up, but who knew that she only saw Zhao just panting, looking really a little bad, and said in her heart, is it too exciting today, it's really bad? After thinking about it, he softened his tone and said, "Sister Jin'er offended the young lady of the eldest princess's family and the eldest lord of the Second Prince's Mansion, and sent her to Pulian Nunnery to protect her. And there are many nobles there, so you don't have to worry about her poor upbringing. After a year and a half, when this matter subsides, it is not too late to take her back. You don't have to worry about not letting people go in the nunnery, I heard that Concubine Zhao didn't have a good personal relationship with the eldest princess? For the sake of Concubine Zhao's mother, Pu Lian'an will not embarrass Sister Jin'er. ”
