Chapter Sixty-Nine: Wu Chengcheng is punished
"Shut up!"
Looking at Wu Qingcheng, who was a little stunned by his own interruptions, Mrs. Wu's face became gloomy.
"Allure, what did I just say, you are also a big girl, why don't you know what you shouldn't listen to, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't pass on what you shouldn't say!"
After a heavy pause on the rosewood cane given by the Queen Mother in her hand, Old Madam Wu sternly looked at the people who didn't dare to make a sound.
"In vain, I always thought you were a sensible child, but I never expected you to spread some hearsay about your sisters. Aren't you afraid that if you do this, you will hurt your sister's reputation? ”
Seeing that Old Madam Wu was really angry, Wu Qingcheng's face changed suddenly, shaking his hands and kneeling on the ground with a pale face.
"Grandmother's anger is because the city is not thoughtful, and she shouldn't spread these gossips, please ask your grandmother to punish her."
Wu Tingcheng's mind has always turned quickly, and she reacted at once, since the second prince Situ Jingxuan can know the news and tell herself, how can the old queen mother in the palace not know about this matter, so that the old lady Wu has already known about this matter.
Secretly regretting his recklessness in his heart, Wu Tingcheng lowered his head and cursed Wu Tingrou with hatred. Every time I go on a business trip, it's because of Wu Tingrou, which makes Wu Tingcheng grit his teeth with hatred.
"Forget it, get up. You've always been smart and sensible, but you don't know what's going on lately, and you've made some mistakes that you shouldn't have made. In order for you to remember the lesson and stop making mistakes, you will be punished to go back to the Pomegranate Monastery to think about it behind closed doors, and copy the Heart Sutra for self-reflection. When the fifteenth Lantern Festival comes, you can come out again. ”
Old Madam Wu's words fell, and Wu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment.
There are still five or six days until the 15th Lantern Festival, doesn't this mean that he will be locked up in the Pomegranate Courtyard for five or six days, and the meeting that was originally scheduled with Situ Jingshuo tomorrow will also be in vain.
Raising his head unwillingly, Wu Tingcheng just wanted to open his mouth to beg Mrs. Wu for mercy, but as soon as he looked up and saw Mrs. Wu's undoubted face, he immediately swallowed the words back.
"Yes, if you receive the punishment in the city, you will definitely reflect on it."
"Well, you get up, let's go back to the Pomegranate Courtyard first."
Waving her hand at Wu Qingcheng, Old Lady Wu no longer looked at her, but looked at the others.
Wu Qingcheng stood up and walked out of the Xishou Hall with his head down.
"You have all remembered what I said today, I don't want anyone to make the same mistake as Allure in the future, and at that time, I will not punish her for thinking about it behind closed doors and copying the Heart Sutra."
glanced at Wu Tinghua, Wu Tianqiu, Aunt Chen, and Aunt Qian with burning eyes, until she saw that all four of them nodded violently, and Mrs. Wu withdrew her gaze.
"All right, all of you go down, I'm tired. Remember, you didn't hear anything today, and I don't want any rumors to come out of my Wu family. ”
"Yes, don't worry, old lady, we haven't heard anything, then don't disturb the old lady's rest, we will leave."
Anxiously responded, Aunt Chen hurriedly stood up, took Wu Tianhua's hand and walked out of the room.
Aunt Qian glanced at Wu Tianqiu, then also gave a salute to Mrs. Wu, and the two also walked out after Aunt Chen.
Soon, there were only three people left in the room, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wu, and the room was quiet for a while.
"Grandmother, you can't be angry with them, if the news can be passed on to us, then naturally other people can also get the news, where will it come from."
Putting aside the tea that had cooled, Wu Tianrou motioned for Begonia to bring a new cup of tea.
"But this matter not only involves our Prime Minister's Mansion, but also involves the Runwang Mansion and the gilded prince, I believe that those in the know will not dare to spread it wantonly."
Taking the hot tea from Haitang's hand, Wu Tianrou gently handed it to Mrs. Wu.
"Hehe, or Rou'er can see it, I'm not worried about this matter, I'm worried about this allure."
Taking the teacup handed over by Wu Tianrou, Mrs. Wu took a sip lightly and said with a smile.
"I don't know why, her recent appearance has disappointed me very much, especially since she is not too young, and she has reached the age of marriage, if she makes a mistake and ruins her reputation, she herself will ruin her happiness.
Besides, wouldn't outsiders say that the Wu family did not treat the orphan girl well, and even the orphan girl was not well educated, wouldn't this be a loss of face for the Wu family. ”
"Mother, the child ...... Allure"
Mrs. Wu thought for a moment, and said a little uneasy.
"It doesn't matter, she can't say anything when she is in the house, and besides, she has been smart since she was a child, so she naturally understands what to do and what not to do."
For Wu Qingcheng, Mrs. Wu is not afraid that she will go out and talk nonsense.
It's just that, in this way, her marriage is also planned in advance. Rou'er, what do you think about this matter? ”
"Huh? I think that's good. Last time, my mother also said about this matter, and we all felt that my cousin was not young, and we couldn't delay her time and happiness, so as not to say that our Wu family had mistreated the orphan girl. ”
Laughing, Wu Tianrou glanced at Mrs. Wu, and this is what she said.
"It's just that the selection of this husband's family is a bit troublesome. It's too high, the cousin's identity is not worthy, and if it's low, I'm afraid that people will say that we don't care about the orphan girl, so this candidate must be carefully considered. ”
"Rou'er is right, this matter really needs to be carefully considered."
Listening to Wu Tianrou's words, Mrs. Wu nodded and couldn't help frowning.
"It's a little difficult, but it's not a big one."
Mrs. Wu didn't care much about Wu Tianrou's worries, and she was more concerned about other things.
"Rou'er, I feel that when I proposed to find a husband's family for Allure, she seemed to resist, do you know what's going on?"
I didn't expect Mrs. Wu's vision to be so good, and she was able to discover Wu Tingcheng's careful thoughts at once, and Wu Tingrou looked at her with admiration.
"Hehe, you don't have to look at me like this, you can see when you eat as much salt as I do."
Amused by Wu Tianrou's admiring eyes, Mrs. Wu finally smiled.
"Grandmother, mother, if there is anyone who admires Allure, I really know a little bit about this, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
After analyzing the pros and cons of Wu Tingcheng's liking for Situ Jingxuan in his heart, Wu Tingrou quickly made a decision.
"Oh? Tell me who it is. ”
Old Madam Wu and Mrs. Wu all looked at Wu Tianrou with attention.
"Yes, it's the second prince."
"What! ……”
