The second lady went to Yichun Courtyard with high spirits.

The eldest lady is educating her daughter: "...... Today's matter, you did a good job, not only taught the second girl a lesson, achieved your purpose, but also left an impression of generosity and courtesy in front of the old lady. The old lady will not only not feel that what you are doing is wrong, but will praise you for being neither humble nor arrogant, and impartial. In the future, as long as you make a good impression, you are doing something wrong, and others will think that you are unintentional. ”

"It's like everything, don't rush, take your time, you have a good reputation, you don't have to worry about anything. On the other hand, if you have a bad reputation, you have done something good, and no one will believe you. The more you want that thing, the more you have to show your desirelessness, and only in this way can you be invincible in the inner house......"

Gu Yu walked in quickly, and the eldest lady's brows couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?" ”

When telling her daughter these principles of how to behave in the world, the eldest lady was very taboo about others breaking in, and she didn't like to be interrupted.

Gu Yu hurriedly said: "Madam, the second lady is here." ”

"Mother, I'm afraid the second aunt is here to let you go and intercede for the second sister."

"Not really." Gu Yu said: "The second lady is angry, and the person who came is not good. ”

"yes, I see." The eldest lady not only was not angry, but smiled, she patted Gu Chonghua's hand and said: "Fei's brainless person must have come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, Xingshi asked whether the crime is false, and it is true that he wants to turn over the genius." In the past, she would have begged me to intercede, but now...... Just look at it. ”

"Second brother and sister, why are you here?"

"Yo, listening to my sister-in-law's tone, I'm not welcome to come."

The eldest lady smiled, but she didn't hear the mockery in the second lady's tone: "The second brother and sister are really good at laughing, sit down." ”

"Sister-in-law, you are really idle, if something big happens at home, you can still laugh." Fei Shi said angrily: "The big girl and the four girls bullied Sister Zhu together, and now Sister Zhu is locked up in the small Buddha hall by the old lady, don't say that you don't know anything about this matter." ”

"I know that." The eldest lady nodded and said: "It's just that the second girl was caused by a Nanjing Yunjin who sued the four girls in front of the old lady, and Sister Hua just went to ask for an encounter with it, and it has nothing to do with Sister Hua." Besides, the old lady naturally judges the merits, and although I know about it, I can't interfere with the old lady's decision. ”

When the second lady heard this, she was furious: "Sister-in-law, you are too unconscionable when you say this." This matter is judged by the old lady, but now you are the housewife! If everyone is a housekeeper like you, is there any rules in this family? ”

The more the second lady spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice couldn't help but lift the roof: "The second master is tired and tired of working for the affairs of the family, and there is not a day when he doesn't worry about it." Our second room worked hard, not only did we not fall well, but Sister Zhu was bullied by others. The old lady was deceived by the conspiracy of the four girls, and Sister Zhu was wronged in vain. Sister-in-law, if you don't care about it, I think this home can't live. Everyone bullied us in the second room! ”

When the eldest lady saw the second lady say this, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She knew that the second room was not well-intentioned, although the Fei family was noisy in the past, she never dared to say this, but now that the eldest man is gone, she shows her fox tail, and she is very arrogant.

Hmph, the jumping clown, he actually wants to ride on my head!

The eldest lady sneered, but her face was not obvious at all, and she only looked at the second lady lightly: "Second brother and sister, this matter is indeed my negligence, so you see, what should I do now?" ”

The second lady was waiting for this sentence, she saw that the eldest lady was silent, and thought that she was lacking confidence and was afraid of her edge.

In the past, the eldest lady had never been so talkative.

The eldest lady used to be able to show off her martial arts and walk sideways in the inner house, but it was not because the eldest lord was the marquis. Now that the eldest master is gone, her arrogance can no longer be raised.

Men are the sky, and when the sky supports it, women will be honored. The sky is falling, and no matter how great a woman's ability is, it is in vain.

The second lady felt that the big house was exhausted, and now that it was time for the second room to be in her early days, maybe the position of the housewife would soon be in her hands, and she had to show her style.

"You ask the old lady to release Sister Zhu'er, and let the eldest girl and the fourth girl apologize to Sister Zhu'er, and you have to kowtow to apologize."

As soon as she raised her eyebrows, she saw the eldest lady's smiling gaze, and she was a little stunned in her heart, and hurriedly said: "The mastermind is the four girls, let the four girls kneel, the big girl just needs to do it, I am not a person who has to ignore people." Also, I will take care of the affairs of our second room by myself in the future, so I won't bother my sister-in-law. ”

The eldest lady raised her eyebrows, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly hid it again: "What the second brother and sister said, I have nothing to do, but it is a matter of importance, and I still need the old lady's consent." ”

Hearing the eldest lady say this, the second lady was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Of course, how dare we be daughters-in-law." Without further ado, sister-in-law, you should go with me to Anrong Courtyard and make it clear to the old lady. ”

"This ......" The eldest lady looked at the sky outside and hesitated: "It's so late, the old lady should rest, right?" Why don't you go again tomorrow? ”

"It's not late, it's not too late at all, the old lady must not have fallen asleep this time." The second lady glanced at her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to go?" ”

"Of course not." The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Look at what the second brother and sister said, since you said so, then I will accompany you on a trip." ”

The second lady was arrogant and said with the attitude of a winner: "Sister-in-law is too polite." ”

With lanterns and snow, the group came to Anei-in.

The two daughters-in-law came together, and Mrs. Ge was startled, she thought something big had happened.

Busy Ping stepped back and summoned them into the inner room.

After learning of the second lady's intention, Mrs. Ge was so angry that she took a teacup on the spot and smashed it heavily on the second lady's head and face.

Fortunately, the second lady dodged with her head slightly, but in the end it hit her forehead, and the second lady's forehead was covered on the spot.

The second lady was shocked and angry, and she didn't hide her anger for a while, glared at Old Madam Ge and asked, "Old lady, what are you doing here?" ”

Since the death of her husband, her son became the Marquis of Qingyang, and Mrs. Ge has never been questioned like this, especially the undisguised resentment in the eyes of the second lady, which made Mrs. Ge even more angry.

She slapped the second lady in the face: "Who gave you the courage to dare to question me." Wow, wow, all of you are going to turn against the sky, men are greedy for ink outside, pulling the property and harvest of the public school towards their own houses, stretching their hands longer than anything else, and women are in the inner house and roaring to the housekeeper, this family has not been managed, and they are going to refute me! I closed the second girl, you have to put it. You are so bold that you dare to hit my face! ”

"I'm not dead yet, you two rooms dare to do this. Feed the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, I treated you so well in the past, no worse than crawling out of my belly, you are good, the wolf-hearted thing, want to control the inner house, want to ride on my head, I sue you, blind your dog's eyes! ”

Old Madam Ge was extremely angry, her hands slapped on the kang table, and her eyes staring at the second lady were even more hated to eat her alive.

She's really angry!

Since the death of the eldest son, the eldest lady told her that the second room is a wolf and a wolf, and the second master looks honest and useless, and is actually full of ghosts, and the second lady has repeatedly challenged the authority of the big house, and even has the intention of replacing the eldest lady's housekeeper. But Mrs. Ge didn't take it to heart, she felt that the second master was a cowardly person, and she would never have such a scheming, and the second lady Fei was her niece, although she was usually arrogant, she would never betray her.

It wasn't until the eldest lady put the evidence of the second master's corruption in front of her that she began to realize that the eldest son could not help her mother, and the second son from the concubine was no longer the person who only promised to listen to her in everything.

Although she was angry in her heart, she hid it and wanted to wait until the New Year to deal with it. didn't expect the second lady to kick her nose in the face.

She originally thought that the second lady didn't know about the second master, but now it seems that she was wrong, a big mistake.

The eldest daughter-in-law is right, everyone in the second room has wolf ambitions, the second master, the second lady, including the second lady, none of them are not harboring evil intentions.

After all, she didn't crawl out of her belly, no matter how good she was to them, she was just a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return.

The second lady didn't expect that the second master's corruption was actually known to Mrs. Ge, but in this case, how could she admit it.

She felt that Old Madam Ge must have deceived her, if Old Madam Ge had evidence, I am afraid that she would have used family law to deal with the second old man a long time ago, how could she wait until now to slap her in the face.

She immediately craned her neck and made a look of being slandered and indignant: "Old lady, you have really wronged me and the second master, how could he embezzle the silver in the gongzhong?" Over the years, how he has worked hard for his family, people up and down have seen it, when the eldest master is alive, he has been outside for many years, inside and out, the second master is in charge, and what he takes is just what he deserves. After the eldest master died, he worked even more conscientiously for the Gu family, and he didn't dare to be greedy for a penny. ”

Now the second master is the backbone of the family, as long as she bites to death and doesn't admit it, what can the old lady do to her!

The second lady was not afraid at all, but her face looked like she had been greatly wronged.

She almost burst into tears, and said: "Some people don't do anything, just sit back and enjoy it, the second master has done so many things, but he still has to be slandered, old lady, our second room is more wronged than Dou E." ”

In the past, she assured that Old Madam Ge would have believed her a long time ago. But now, Old Madam Ge has the evidence of the second room's greed for ink, how can she be deceived by her words.

The second lady sang and wrote this time, and Mrs. Ge felt more and more that she was extremely hypocritical, with a honey-bellied sword, and even a human-faced beast heart.

Especially her last few words, Mrs. Ge was even more angry: "In your eyes, who is the one who sits back and enjoys it?" It's me? Or is it your sister-in-law? ”

"The next prostitute, the seed of conscience, this Gu family was passed down by the old marquis, and now the wealth and glory of my son have been exchanged for his life. When he dies, you belittle him like this. ”

Thinking that her son is dead, and the huge wealth she has earned is enough for these irrelevant people to enjoy, her heart hurts like a knife.

Old Madam Ge's hands trembled, and she pointed at the second lady and scolded, "You guys...... You look at him dead, I have no one to rely on, so I want to ride on my head and be a powerful blessing in the Gu family, I tell you, dream! ”

"You think that without the title, the Gu family will collapse, and you think that you can be the king and hegemon if there is no one in the big house, don't you think. Although the title is gone, the Danshu iron coupon given by the emperor is still there, as long as Concubine Hui Niangniang speaks to the emperor, Brother Rong can still attack the knight. In the spring of next year, the Gu family's title will come back. ”

The more the second lady listened, the more cold she became, and in the end, her face was even more pale and stunned.

The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was because of Mrs. Ge's love for her, and more importantly, she felt that now that the Gu family was empty, everything had to rely on the second master, and she never thought that the Gu family's title would come back one day.

Old Madam Ge said to her: "Blind black-hearted old partridge, you know that your face is long." ”

"Old lady, old lady......" The second lady knelt down with a pout, very annoyed: "My daughter-in-law knows that I am wrong, I see that my sister-in-law has been very busy recently, so I want to manage the affairs of our second room, and it is definitely not to share power with my sister-in-law." I really don't know anything about the second master's greed for ink. He's been out early late, he's been busy every day, and I don't know anything about what he's doing outside. I didn't even see a penny of his greedy silver. ”

"Yes, old lady." The eldest lady persuaded softly: "I also believe that the second brother and sister are not aware, if the second master's greedy silver is really handed over to the second brother and sister, then the second girl will not covet the fabric of the fourth girl." ”

The eldest lady didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said it, she reminded Mrs. Ge that Gu Chongzhu's clothes in the recent period were undoubtedly not good, while Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhi, and Gu Chongyang were all very simple.

Even now, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are standing together, and the second daughter-in-law is obviously more luxurious.

The monthly portion of the family is the same, if it weren't for the second master's greed for ink and silver, how could the second room have the money to dare to squander it like this.

"You really don't know? Or do you not report it? Old Madam Ge's tone was as cold as ice: "Just now you kept saying that the second master wouldn't be greedy for ink?" You changed your confession in the blink of an eye, who knows how much of what you said is true and how false? ”

The big room is keeping filial piety for the eldest lord, and the fourth room is keeping filial piety for the four ladies, so naturally they can't wear gorgeous clothes and decorations. Although the second room is greedy for ink, he doesn't dare to show it openly. Originally, the old lady might just be suspicious, but the eldest lady's words of consolation not only confirmed the fact that the second lady was greedy for ink, but also pointed out that the second lady did not report it.

The second lady gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face at all, but just cursed and swore an oath: "If the second master comes back, I will definitely ask clearly, if he really does something sorry for the Gu family and sorry for the old lady with a clear conscience, let alone you, even I will never let him go lightly!" ”

"Old lady, the second master's greed for ink is not a trivial matter, the second master did not come back tonight, even if the second brother and sister know, I am afraid it is limited. At this time, we can't ask anything, so it's better to put it first. The eldest lady said softly: "It's the second girl, and now it's still closed in the small Buddha hall, it's so cold, and the small Buddha hall doesn't burn the dragon, I'm afraid it's not enough to have a carbon basin to keep out the cold, not to mention that the second brother and sister feel sorry for the second girl, even I, the eldest aunt, can't bear it." ”

Old Madam Ge snorted coldly and said, "The second girl is also my granddaughter, am I willing to be a grandmother to learn from her?" If she hadn't done something wrong, how would I have punished her? ”

The second lady was so angry that she was about to drip blood, the eldest lady was really a sad dog, usually silent, but when it was critical, she bit someone.

Today's loss is a big loss.

"Old lady, you spared your daughter-in-law this time, it was my lard that blinded my heart, so I came to question your decision. As soon as I heard that Sister Zhu was locked up, I was in a mess, and I was crazy, so please don't see me as usual. ”

If it had been before, Old Lady Ge would have forgiven her a long time ago. After all, Fei is her niece, while Hao is an outsider. No matter how dissatisfied she is with Fei's family, she will not belittle her in front of Hao's family.

But at this time, at that time, after the recent period of events, Mrs. Ge was completely cold to the second room.

She didn't speak.

The eldest lady felt very happy when she looked at it, and in the past, Fei Shi cried, made trouble, and hanged herself, making herself suffer a lot. This time, let her taste it. From now on, her trick will never work again.

In this short silence, the second lady's heart slowly sank, she knew that it was already late, and if she continued to consume like this, the old lady would have to rest. And if she didn't make any changes, she would never be able to win back the old lady's heart.

Losing the favor of the old lady, what will happen to her in the future, she knows better than anyone else, and the fourth lady Shen is the best example.

The second lady shuddered, and kowtowed to Mrs. Ge with a "bang, bang, bang": "Old lady, my daughter-in-law really knows that she is wrong, you have a lot of old people, just forgive me this time." ”

She stumbled hard, and the thumping sound sounded terrifying.

While knocking, he cried and begged: "Auntie, Xue Niang knows that she is wrong, aunt, please forgive Xue Niang, Xue Niang will never dare again." ”

She choked up and cried so pitifully.

Xue Niang is Fei's nickname.

Mrs. Ge did not give birth to a daughter, but she liked her sister's daughter Fei Xueniang very much, and often took Fei Xueniang to live at home.

And because the second lady is not at home, she is also very close to this aunt who loves her beautiful clothes and delicious things, and the two aunts and nephews are like mother and daughter.

This aunt evoked the memories of Mrs. Ge in the past.

Her heart was a little unbearable.

When the eldest lady saw it, she bit it, this Fei Shi actually used bitter meat tricks, it was really a deep thought.

"Second brother and sister, second brother and sister, what are you doing here?" The eldest lady exclaimed, and hurriedly squatted down to hug the second lady, but she reprimanded very disapprovingly: "The old lady is a grandmother, and the second girl has done something wrong, can't the old lady teach her a lesson?" You persecute the old lady like this, in the future in the Gu family, what majesty will the old lady have? ”

Hao Liniang, you deceive people too much! The second lady fell to the ground, and scolded the eighteen generations of the eldest lady's ancestors in her heart. But no matter what the eldest lady said, she didn't look up even when she died, she only kowtowed.

The eldest lady has endured it for so many years, and finally has a chance to make the second lady collapse, how can she be revived?

"Second brother and sister, are you coercing the old lady?" She grabbed the second lady's arm tightly, almost pinching it with all her strength, and her voice became more and more righteous: "If everyone does wrong things like you, is there any rules in the Gu family?" It's not me who is the sister-in-law who said you, you just spoil the second girl too much. I don't know if she did something wrong today, and there is no reason why you, a mother, are too doting. Second brother and sister, how defeated a loving mother is! ”

The unbearable in Mrs. Ge's heart disappeared most of them in an instant, and her eyes were as cold as moonlight: "I know that you feel sorry for the second girl, but today's incident is indeed the second girl's." As an elder sister, she not only ignored the handkerchief given by the Ge family to the three girls, but also came to me to tell right and wrong, saying that the four girls were disrespectful to me behind their backs and burned a whole horse of Nanjing Yunjin. ”

Speaking of this, Old Madam Ge suddenly felt that the reason why Gu Chongzhu was so upside down black and white slandered Gu Chongyang out of nothing, and why she would be so bold and reckless to snatch Bai Gu Chonghua regardless of the dignity and humility of her sisterhood, it was obvious that she had learned from the second lady.

She felt more and more that her eldest daughter-in-law, Hao, was worthy of being the daughter of the eunuch, and she got to the point in one sentence, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the son of mice can make holes, Gu Chongzhu is so ignorant of etiquette, it must be the result of the second lady's words and deeds.

In this way, Gu Chongzhu is decisive and cannot be forgiven.

She said sharply: "I haven't been at home for many years, and I rarely ask if their girls do anything wrong, but this time, it was the second girl who ran to me to sue me first." Fortunately, Sister Hua came and testified for the four girls, proving that it was the second girl who provoked the troublemaker, otherwise, wouldn't I have been deceived by the second girl. I usually love her so much, but she uses my trust to deal with the four girls, if I believe her lightly, not only will the four girls feel cold, but also leave people with the impression of being ignorant and biased. The second girl is bold, how can I not punish her? ”
