Chapter 70, Grounding

The Fang family borrowed the shogunate, and in order to please the eldest lady, they made things difficult for Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter everywhere. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but Mu Chenxue was not to be outdone, and repeatedly contradicted Fang's, making her unable to get off the stage in public. Therefore, the Fang family has always held a grudge against Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter. Yesterday, I heard from my son that the second master's son Mu Yu sneaked into the backyard and sent the ice that his mother Liang asked for from the eldest lady to the backyard to the fifth sister. The Fang family, who got the news, said goodbye to the morning snow early the next morning, taking advantage of the fact that everyone entered the inner courtyard to greet the eldest lady.

The eldest lady didn't like Cheng's mother and son, of course she wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and even deliberately left the old man Muqian to preside over the family law in the inner courtyard.

The eldest lady openly and secretly accused Aunt Cheng of having no way to teach her daughter. Mu Chenxue naturally will not blindly back down. Instead, he used family affection and filial piety to refute the slander of the eldest lady. Originally, Mu Qian listened to his daughter's words and felt reasonable, but the eldest lady insisted that Mu Yu sent the ice into the backyard and gave it to Cheng's mother and daughter, which made Mu Qian angry with his daughter and asked about what happened to his daughter.

"Father Rongyu, cousin Yu only sent some snacks last night, and my aunt and daughter didn't see any ice, I don't know where did my mother hear about collecting ice?" Mu Chenxue really confiscated any ice, even if she confronted people face to face, she was not afraid.

Fang Shiyuan was still gloating on the side, seeing the calm face of the fifth sister, she couldn't help but panic in her heart, she didn't see this with her own eyes, but she heard what her son said, could it be that her son was wrong. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I couldn't sit still and wanted to find an excuse to leave.

But where would Mu Chenxue give her this opportunity, she didn't intend to hurt anyone, but she couldn't help it. looked at his father and told him what he was thinking, "If my father goes directly to the second uncle or cousin Yu for verification, I am afraid that it will hurt the feelings of the two families." It's better to call the slave who is waiting for Cousin Yu, and my father will know that if Cousin Yu really gave us ice, I think there will be no ice available in his house last night, and if not, please ask the father to return his daughter's innocence! Mu Chenxue originally wanted to confront Mu Yu face to face, but she was afraid that he would say the wrong thing when he was nervous, so it was better to confront a minion, which would be better handled.

"That's fine! Mrs. ordered someone to summon the servants around Yu'er, if the fifth sister really accepted the ice sent by Yu'er so unscrupulously, her husband would punish her with family law, but if she was really wronged, it would be better to punish her to go back and think about it behind closed doors for a few days. "The lord has said so, even if the eldest lady is unwilling, she can't refute the face of the head of the house in front of her children. I had to order Jinhong to call someone.

Mu Chenxue was angry in her heart, obviously it wasn't her fault, but listening to her father's meaning, even if she found out that she had really wronged her, for the sake of the eldest lady's face, she still had to be punished. There is no reason to talk about this family. But although she is angry in her heart, she can still accept this result. At least he didn't involve his mother and ninth brother.

After a while, the little servant beside Mu Yu hurriedly entered the inner courtyard, "The slave greets the lord and the eldest lady!" Greetings to ladies and gentlemen! ”

"Zhuqing, let me ask you, the second young master can sleep peacefully these days, but he is still woken up by the heat at night?" Mu Qian also felt that what the fifth sister said was reasonable, and he couldn't ask Zhuqing directly, so he pretended to be concerned and inquired sideways.

"Back to the master, the second young master used ice in the house, and he was never woken up by the heat at night, and he slept very peacefully. The second young master has always remembered the good of the master and the eldest lady, and he still read it last night, saying that he was going to go to the inner courtyard to ask for peace after going to school today! Zhu Qing thought that the old man and the eldest lady cared about the second young master, so they naturally wanted to say a few good words for the second young master.

It's just that although his words were polite, he also clearly slapped the eldest lady and the Fang family, making the two of them angry and not saying anything, and not allowing the two of them to say a word. Mu Qian was very happy to hear it, if his daughter really did something shameless, even if she punished Aunt Cheng, it would damage his face. Fortunately, my daughter still knows how to measure and doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. asked Mu Yu about his homework again, and then asked Zhu Qing to go back and serve well.

"Madam, you see, the fifth sister didn't accept Brother Yu'er's things, but the two children sent each other a few plates of snacks, and it's also a good thing that this cousin is close and close, so don't punish him heavily!" The lord spoke, and even if the eldest lady wanted to frame the blame, she would not dare to punish Aunt Cheng heavily in front of the lord. He had to swallow this breath and glanced at Fang Clan with dissatisfaction.

"Since the master has said so, the concubine should do it. But the fifth sister was wrong after all, so she was punished for thinking about it behind closed doors in the backyard for a month, how does the lord think this? The eldest lady has her own calculations in her heart, so even if she knew that the fifth sister was right, she still punished her for grounding.

"A month!" Mu Qian felt that such a punishment was a bit excessive, but seeing the anger on his wife's face, he had to nod his head in response. Now that the matter was settled, there was still something in his front yard, and without waiting for the eldest lady to say anything more, he got up and left.

Mu Chenxue doesn't care, she doesn't have to say hello to the eldest lady for a month, she is very happy. After thanking his parents for their teachings, he walked out of the upper room and returned to the backyard in a few steps.

When everyone left, the eldest lady looked at the Fang clan who looked uncomfortable, "Tell me about you, I didn't figure out the matter, so I hurriedly came to tell me, thanks to the old man who still cares about a little affection, otherwise I'm afraid that this time it will be Aunt Cheng's arrogance!" ”

"How dare I lie to you, I think the second young master gave ice, but the fifth sister didn't confiscate it!" Fang was thinking about how to exonerate herself just now, even if the matter was clear, she would bite the fifth sister tightly.

"If you send it and confiscate it, isn't that the same as not sending it? There is no solid evidence for this, even if the master deliberately favors me, he will not punish the fifth sister heavily! Forget it, in the future, you should pay more attention to such things, you must always get real evidence, and I will definitely give them some color to see! The eldest lady and the Fang family were bent on calculating how to teach Aunt Cheng's mother and daughter, but they didn't know who they were calculating, but at this moment, they were sitting in the backyard drinking tea and eating snacks with a proud face.

And Mu Chenxue, who returned to the backyard, poured a cup of tea for her mother, afraid that she would be frightened because of what happened just now, "Mother, it's not that my daughter didn't let you intercede for me just now, but I don't want you to be angry with the eldest lady!" ”

"What's so tight about my mother when she is angry, it's you. The eldest lady was fined and grounded for another month. I'm afraid that in a few days, you won't be able to go to the chrysanthemum banquet held by various prefectures! Aunt Cheng only has children in her heart, and she doesn't care if she has been wronged.

"If you don't go, you won't go! It doesn't matter if you can't eat enough at such a banquet, you have to pretend to be filial to your mother and son, and pretend to be a sister, in the final analysis, it's not to be a foil for the fourth sister! Mu Chenxue pulled her mother's arm, and the whole person snuggled up to her mother, although her words were hard, but she was a little more coquettish about her little daughter's family.

"You!" Aunt Cheng touched her daughter's forehead, reluctantly pulled her into her arms, and stroked her daughter's hair. No matter how much I feel sorry for my daughter in my heart, since the punishment has already been punished, it is impossible to recover it if I go to the eldest lady to intercede at this time.
