Chapter 40: Beaten
Mu Yan didn't know how to answer Xue Huasheng, this matter was not a question of whether she wanted to come or not, it was a question of whether the old lady would let her come.
"It depends......" she replied with four words softly, smiling apologetically.
Xue Huashang nodded knowingly, and ordered someone to help her get out of the car.
Mu Qing also got out of the car, she hurriedly walked over and invited Xue Huashang to sit in the house, Xue Huashang refused with a smile, only saying that there was something at home, and she would come again next time she had the opportunity.
Mu Qing seized the opportunity to go and thank Xue Zhiyuan and Xue Zhining again, and the two brothers just said lukewarmly, "You're polite." ”
Mu Qing pursed his lips with a dry smile and watched the Xue family's carriage and horses leave.
After the carriage walked away, the smile in Mu Qing's eyes disappeared, her face was dark, and she turned around and slapped Mu Yan.
This slap was so sudden that Mu Yan didn't even have time to react, and he was hit the face.
Everyone was stunned.
But Mu Qing has always been domineering, who dares to stop him?
Mu Wan and the others just pretended to come over and persuade them for a word or two, "We're at the door, it's not good for you to let outsiders see it like this......"
"Why don't you go back and talk about it?"
“……”
Mu Yan sneered in her heart, her back was straight, she didn't cry as Mu Qing expected, let alone hysterical, she just pulled her sleeves and asked lightly, "Does the eldest lady's hand hurt?" ”
They are all about to explode, at this time, their master can still say such painless and irrelevant words, how much experience is there?
Mu Qingqi's eyes were red, she had endured enough along the way.
Mu Yan is just a recruiting child, why should she suppress the limelight?
She rebuked Mu Yan angrily, "You are so bold, you actually laughed with other men along the way......
This kind of jealousy of the youngest daughter's family is ridiculous when it falls on Mu Yan.
She felt that Mu Qing was really ridiculous now, and the more she spoke, the more ridiculous she became, so she didn't distinguish it.
There is no need to distinguish this kind of thing, so many pairs of eyes are watching, teasing or not, it is not her Mu Qing who has the final say.
Mu Wan listened to Mu Qing say such sharp words, for fear that the matter would involve herself, so she hurriedly said that she was too tired to go and rest first.
Mu Hui also felt that the situation was not good, so she quickly slipped away.
Mother Wang frowned, grabbed Mu Qing and whispered, "Eldest lady will dissipate her anger first, let's go in if we have something to say, okay?" This is the doorway, so if someone hears it, it won't be good for you. ”
Mu Qing secretly grinded his back molars and said hatefully, "Okay, go in and say it." ”
She dragged Mu Yan into the inner house.
Mu Yan shook off her hand and followed in.
Mu Qingleng paused for a moment, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you still reasonable?" ”
Mu Yan rolled up his sleeves and looked directly into Mu Qing's eyes, and said lightly, "Does the eldest lady have to be like this?" ”
"Am I like that?" Mu Qing didn't give up, stretched out his hand and wanted to hit Mu Yan again.
Mu Yan didn't give her the opportunity to hit someone, and avoided it directly.
Mu Qingqi's face turned purple, and he scolded and scolded, "Okay, you Mu Yan, you have eaten the gall of a leopard, see if I don't kill you." ”
She stretched out her hand to hit Mu Yan again, so frightened that Mother Wang hurriedly grabbed her, and hurriedly persuaded, "You better dissipate your anger......
"I'm going to clean her up......" Mu Qing didn't relent.
Before she could clean up Mu Yan, the old lady sent Shou'er to send a message to her, asking her to go to De'an Garden with Mu Yan.
The Mu Mansion is so big, if a little wind blows, it will reach the ears of the old lady, not to mention that Mu Qing is still making trouble in front of the public.
Mother Wang secretly complained, this time Mu Qing was too impulsive.
Just now in the Jokhang Temple, she saw Mu Yan's actions, she had not done anything beyond the norm, and she had always maintained a sense of proportion with the Xue family brothers from beginning to end.
As for the fact that Mu Yan and Xue Huashang were in the same carriage when they came back, escorted by the two sons of the Xue family, that was not something that she Mu Yan could decide, and every qiē was initiated by Xue Huasheng.
Mother Wang knew that Mu Qing would definitely be scolded when she went to De'an Yuan, so she secretly whispered to Mu Qing along the way, "If the old lady blames you, you will say that you became excited after listening to the words of the second lady." ”
In this deep mansion compound, the first task in case of trouble is to take yourself out and push out the responsibility.
Mu Qing disagreed, she felt that the old lady would not make decisions for Mu Yan, besides, she Mu Yan was indeed close to the two sons of the Xue family, and she was not allowed to distinguish between this matter.
Mu Qing looked at Mu Yan and snorted coldly.
Mu Yan was frank and followed Shou'er into De'an Garden.
Sandalwood was burned in the room, and the old lady's face was gloomy, and she sat on the clinical couch with a string of red sandalwood rosaries in her hand, while the eldest lady stood respectfully on one side, her expression a little stern.
After a few people entered, Mu Yan saluted respectfully, and Mu Qing rushed forward with a face full of grievances, and said coquettishly, "Grandmother, you ......"
"There are no rules, why don't you know how to salute when you enter the door?" The old lady coldly interrupted Mu Qing's words, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Mu Qing had never been scolded by the old lady like this, and seemed to be taken aback, and he didn't know what to do.
Or did the eldest lady scold her gently, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you give your grandmother a salute?" ”
Only then did Mu Qing come back to his senses, and at the same time, his heart thumped.
The atmosphere was very wrong......
She thought her grandmother would turn to her, but it seemed that she was mistaken.
Mu Qing is not a fool, after figuring out the situation at the scene, she immediately curtsied and saluted, and shouted respectfully, "Grandmother", and shouted at the eldest lady, "Mother." ”
The eldest lady's eyebrows were loosened.
Just now, she got the letter that it was Mu Qing who slapped Mu Yan at the door, so she hurried to De'an Yuan.
Pinching her fingers, the eldest lady felt that she had spoiled Mu Qing again, and then looked at Mu Yan, calm and introverted, but she became more and more beautiful with everyone's demeanor.
The eldest lady sighed secretly in her heart.
The old lady looked at Mu Qing coldly and said, "You are also the daughter of our Mu family, how can you be so reckless?" Hitting someone in public...... Okay, that's a real deal. ”
Mu Qing pursed her lips, and her eyes swept over the eldest lady.
The eldest lady shook her head slightly.
She didn't dare to refute, but muttered, "Yes, it's Qing'er's fault, please punish grandmother." ”
The old lady glared at her with a rosary, and then turned her eyes to Mu Yan.
Mu Yan's face was flat, and he looked at his toes with half-lowered eyelids.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see the five finger marks that were clearly visible on her fair cheeks.
The old lady moved the rosary a little faster, and the young girl was too ruthless, how much force it took to make the finger marks on her cheeks.
She glared at Mu Qing again, and at the same time glanced at the eldest lady.
The eldest lady coughed dryly and smiled awkwardly at the old lady.
There is still some tacit understanding between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, compared to Mu Yan, they will still choose to protect Mu Qing and not embarrass Mu Qing too much.
