The eldest lady was a little unhappy when she heard Mu Yan's words, but she couldn't find anything wrong, so she could only secretly pinch her sleeves.

The old lady asked Mu Yan to tell the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

Mu Yan didn't say anything.

The old lady let the peach and green turnip speak.

The peach and green were also divided for a long time at the beginning, and then the old lady reprimanded them sternly, and they told me everything before and after.

In the final analysis, Mu Xiao fell in love with the handkerchief embroidered by Mu Yan for Mu Qing, she wanted to keep it for herself, but tomorrow Mu Qing was going to come to get the handkerchief, Mu Yan had to persuade Mu Xiao to return the handkerchief, but Mu Xiao still didn't want to return it.

Mu Yan is caught in the middle and is just a victim.

Aunt Chen and Mother Qin were all sweating, and Mu Xiao was even more frightened and didn't dare to raise her head.

The old lady sneered, raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay, Aunt Chen, this is the good daughter you raised?" ”

Aunt Chen was full of excitement, as if a scorched thunder had fallen on top of her head.

Mu Xiao burst into tears in fright.

"Other people's things are so easy to take? Someone else's stuff is so rare? The old lady pinched the corner of the kang table with one hand, and Sen Leng asked, "Sister Xiao, although you are a concubine, you are also a lady of everyone, and now you don't even have a sense of shame?" When you see something good, you want to keep it for yourself, what is that? If it is preached, how should you behave? ”

"I ......" Mu Xiao didn't know what to answer when questioned, crying and kowtowing, "My granddaughter is wrong, my granddaughter is wrong......"

The eldest lady's heart was very happy, and the corners of her mouth twitched and gently curled.

"It's the concubine's fault, it's the concubine's fault......" Aunt Chen didn't dare to spill again at this time, and hurriedly knelt in front of the old lady to admit her mistake.

The old lady ignored her and said hatefully: "It seems that the rules of the Mu family are too loose, and you are all used to going to heaven." His eyes froze, and he said coldly, "From today on, Aunt Chen will be grounded for one month and fined three months of monthly money, Sister Xiao has been thinking about it for a month behind closed doors, and no one is allowed to see her without my permission." ”

Aunt Chen and Mu Xiaodeng collapsed on the ground.

The eldest lady was even more proud, and she couldn't wait for Aunt Chen to never come out again.

"As for you......" The old lady's gaze turned to Mother Qin.

Mother Qin knelt under the candle, her whole face shrunk into a ball, like a small ant, waiting for others to crush her and throw her away.

Mu Yan pinched her fingers lightly, she said that she would get rid of Mother Qin within five days, today, it was the fourth day......

"Old lady, the slave maid is wronged...... Mother Qin stepped forward unwillingly, knelt in front of the old lady, and cried: "The slave and maid really didn't hurt the third lady, let alone Miss Yan, and asked the old lady to ...... clearly."

The old lady ignored her defense, kicked her away, and said in a calm voice, "You still dare to shout injustice?" If you are a slave and you will sin, how shall I keep you? ”

As soon as Mother Qin heard this, she immediately turned to the eldest lady in tears, hugged the eldest lady's leg and cried, "The eldest lady save me, the eldest lady saves me......"

The eldest lady has served the old lady for many years, and she knows the old lady's temperament very well, since she said such a thing, then Mother Qin will definitely not be able to keep it.

At this time, she must not be strong, otherwise she will definitely harm herself.

She didn't look at Mother Qin with a cold face.

Mother Qin was still counting on the eldest lady to save her, and there was a little fire burning in her heart, but now that the eldest lady didn't look at her, she had no idea, no backbone, and she was a little speechless for a while, and roared with a pair of crying and swollen eyes, "Madam, you can't be like this, you can't treat me like this, I've been ...... all these years How many things have I done for you......"

The eldest lady was in a cold sweat, and even the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

Mother Qin knows many of her secrets, and if she finds out at this moment, she will be in big trouble, and she must make a decision immediately.

She immediately kicked Mother Qin away, and angrily instructed Mother Sun beside her, "Are they all dead?" What is there to do with such a wicked slave? Don't drag it out and give me a slap in the face. ”

Mother Sun understood.

Without waiting for Mother Qin to say anything more, she immediately stepped forward and blocked Mother Qin's mouth, and shouted a few stout mothers-in-law to drag Mother Qin out.

Mother Qin's mouth was blocked by Mother Sun, and she couldn't say a word, only a terrible roar came out of her throat, and the roar was scattered in the dark night, and gradually dispersed with the wind.

The eldest lady was sweating, and under the candlelight, her face was a little pale, but she held on to her spirit to ask the old lady for her guilt, "Diao slaves are hateful, you are frightened, you are to blame for the daughter-in-law who did not take care of them well in the past day, please punish you." ”

The eldest lady fell to her knees.

The old lady's eyes swept lightly from her, and after a long time, she raised her face and motioned for the eldest lady to get up, and her tone regained her usual blandness, "Mother Qin is your person, if something like this happens, you will naturally be to blame, and you will be fined a month's money......"

In this short moment, the cold sweat on the eldest lady's body seemed to have turned into ice ballast, and she wanted to shiver when she heard the penalty for Yin, and when she heard the penalty for Yin, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her throat also had strength, and she lowered her eyebrows and said respectfully, "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." ”

"Get up." The old lady raised her hand with a tired face, and the eldest lady got up with the support of the big girl Caiyue, and when she got up, her legs were still a little weak, and she didn't let her fall because of Caiyue's strength.

Mu Yan always looked at this qiē coldly without saying a word.

She knew that after tonight, there would be no more Mother Qin in the bamboo fungus courtyard.

Of course, maybe the eldest lady will arrange another "Mother Qin" for her, but no matter who comes, tonight's events come first, and Mother Qin's fate comes first, and the people who come should no longer blatantly bully her.

Mu Yan secretly clenched his fists.

The old lady looked at Aunt Chen with annoyance and said, "You still don't retreat." ”

Aunt Chen's face continued to stay, hurriedly got up and kowtowed, and then hurriedly retreated with her daughter.

"It's really not pure." The old lady pinched her eyebrows, turned her eyes and glanced at Mu Yan again, seeing that Mu Yan was still like a frightened deer, her expression was wilted, her heart softened, and she couldn't help but comfort Wen Yan, "Don't be afraid, it's not your fault tonight." As soon as the words changed, he said a little harshly: "It's just that you're too soft, anyone can pinch you......"

Mu Yan blushed and pursed his lips.

At this time, a gust of wind blew outside the window, and half of the residual candle on the kang table finally beat unwindably, flickering bright and dark.

The old lady's brows furrowed suddenly, she rarely came to Mu Yan's room in the past few days, and even if she came, she sat in a hurry, and did not look at the furnishings in her room.

Now that the candle was beating, she realized that there was no oil lamp in Mu Yan's room.

"Why don't you light the lights?" The old lady stared at Mu Yan and asked.

Listening to the old lady's question, the eldest lady also realized that Mu Yan did not use the oil lamp, and the dim light in the room hurt her eyes.

Mu Yan's eyes suddenly became dodgy, and he squeaked and whimpered, "Back to the old lady, is it...... It's out of oil. ”
