Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Gift

Seeing this, Mingzhu took the lead in getting up, "If the old lady doesn't give orders, our sisters will retreat first." ”

Sister Jiaxuan quickly stood up and looked at Mingzhu with a look in her eyes.

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, "You are all sensible and good children, don't blame you for today's affairs, your sister Qinglan has a bad temper, it is my old woman who has not taught her children well." Speaking of this, he beckoned to the maid.

The pretty maid in the pink bikini came over, leaned over slightly, bowed her head, the old lady whispered a few words, and the maid nodded and left.

After a while, the maid came back with a gold-painted red lacquer box in her hand, handed the box to the old lady in both hands, and retreated.

The old lady opened the box and said with a smile: "This is Liu Gongquan's "Edict Post", I heard that you studied Liu Ti, and this will be given to you, which is my reparation." ”

Mingzhu's face turned red and waved her hand repeatedly, "The old lady is serious, I should apologize to you and my aunt for my little temper, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift, this is too precious!" After saying that, he looked at his aunt Zhang as if he was asking for help.

Zhang smiled and said: "If you give it to you, you will take it, this is my mother's dowry, I was reluctant to give it to me before, my mother likes you, and the elders give it to you, so you can accept it." ”

"That's right, take it, I like your character, I will come to play more at home in the future, and I will also teach you these three ignorant cousins." After saying that, he sneered at the three Qinglian who were kneeling on the ground.

Mingzhu groaned for a moment, and then nodded generously, "Then I'll take it, thank you for the old lady's reward!" There was also a look of joy on his face.

Mrs. Zhang's satisfied chin showed an appreciative look.

Mingzhu took the gift, saluted with the elders, and silently led her sister out, and the next words were not suitable for outsiders to listen to.

When Mingzhu and the little ones were gone, the old lady lowered her face and reprimanded the two daughters-in-law, "Boss and second, you kneel down for me!" He threw the Buddhist beads in his hand on the coffee table, making a lot of noise, making the silent main hall more solemn.

Li was stunned for a moment and knelt down respectfully, and Wang also pursed his lips and knelt down.

"Second brother, Qinglan has taught such a four-six unreliable appearance, are you guilty?" The old lady talked about Qinglan first.

Although Qinglan is a concubine, the responsibility of upbringing is her mother's business, and this blame falls on the Wang family, which is not wronged by her.

"It's my daughter-in-law who was careful and didn't discipline her, it's my fault." Wang happily admitted it, she really didn't want to care, ignored it, watched Qinglan die by herself, and was willing to give her aunt in the backyard a lesson and color.

The old lady turned her head to look at Li and sneered, "You think you have been wronged, don't you?" Qinglian is not like Lan'er, her eyes are high, and she is a good child. Even if there is something wrong with her aunt, she has been respectful to you all these years, can you not tolerate it in your heart? Jealousy is a rule of seven! My Zhang family is half sorry for you, has my mother-in-law filled in the blockage for you? I want to ask my mother-in-law, why do you Li family daughter destroy my children and grandchildren! The voice was majestic and cold.

Li Shi raised his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and he couldn't believe that the old lady treated him so harshly, and tears fell one by one. "Mother......." Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes was uncertain, with a hint of grievance and sadness that she could not be humane.

Li is the youngest daughter of the family, she has been pampered since she was a child, and her temperament is a little naΓ―ve and coquettish, and she is not suitable to be the eldest sister-in-law of the clan, but the old lady and her friends set up a marriage for the eldest grandson after drinking.

The Li family is also a big family, and the children and grandchildren are also people who are fighting for anger and understanding the rules, which is not a big deal, and it should be done, at that time, Mrs. Zhang was still her granddaughter-in-law, and she didn't think it was anything, and her daughter-in-law didn't understand that she wouldn't enter the door and teach again, didn't she also let her mother-in-law teach her hand in hand.

The two families have affection and often come and go, and the Li family is getting older year by year, and quietly listened to the corner and knew that the grandson of the Zhang family was his future husband, and he secretly promised in the contact over the years.

It was originally a good fate, but the bad thing is that Li's parents have no concubines in their lives, and they are a loving couple who are really Qin Se and Ming, and their mother gave birth to three sons and two daughters, and they envy sisters of the same age.

Growing up in such an environment, Li is the youngest girl, she looks delicate and innocent, she has very high expectations for the future life of husband and wife, and she has deep hatred and dissatisfaction with her aunt and concubine, she has always been unable to tolerate her aunt, especially Qinglian's mother.

The old lady's eldest son, Zhang Qi, also has feelings for the Li family, but it is impossible to give her a promise of a pair for a lifetime like the Li family's parents, and she also has some affection for the personal maid who was born in the room, allowing her to give birth to Qinglian, but not allowing her to give birth to a concubine, and she thinks that she has done her best for his wife.

However, what Li wants is her husband's love, but what Zhang Qi gives is respect and maintenance, but the pain in Li's heart has nowhere to tell under the contradiction, and it is inevitable that she will be a little angry with Qinglian, and she can't do the assassination, but she doesn't care.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Li, thinking of the innocent and delicate little girl when she entered the mansion, her eyes were full of energy, but now she has become a bodhisattva-like person, and her heart is a little soft and sighing.

The maid opened the curtain and said, "Old lady, the eldest master and the second master and the third master have come to greet you." ”

The old lady sneered, "Call in." ”

The three sons rushed in, and the eldest Zhang Qi first greeted his mother, "Mother, I heard that Sister Qinglian did something wrong, I am angry with you, my sons come to see, you are in good health, the children should be punished if they are not good, you must take care of your body." ”

"Yes, mother, it's not good for us to teach our children well, so that your old people will be tired." The second child also apologized.

"Yes, it's the sons who are unfilial and make you tired." The third child also knelt down with his brothers to plead guilty.

"You should be kneeling, I guess you have also heard about the matter, I also want to talk about you, just now I asked the eldest sister of the Shangguan family to say two words, there is a good saying, three people have three hearts, my Zhang family is going to be finished!" The old lady slapped the coffee table angrily, excited and sad.

"Mother atoned for her sins, the sons didn't dare to do this, although my third brother and I were a little cautious, but we have always respected the eldest brother, and we didn't do anything unfavorable to the eldest brother and the Zhang family in private!" The second child hurriedly kowtowed and asked for the guilt, this is too strict, and they can't afford it.

"Boss, if the Li family is five points wrong, you have ten points, are you planning to spoil your concubine and kill your wife? Spoiling an aunt doesn't know how thick the sky is, and hurts your daughter-in-law's heart, how can you bear it, she has no credit and hard work! Mrs. Zhang reprimanded her eldest son harshly.

Zhang Qi glanced at the desperate Li family, Li family turned to look at him, and smiled sadly, "Master, I was wrong, I shouldn't have any extravagant hopes at all, I was wrong!" She looked up and smiled, the laughter was so sad and desolate, lonely and bitter, and all kinds of complicated feelings were difficult to express in words.

This kind of Li made Zhang Qi frightened, and couldn't help but think of the beauty of the Li family when she was newly married, and her eyes were full of dependence and trust, and she was full of love for herself, I don't know when this look disappeared, and she became indifferent, like a bodhisattva, and she went to her room less and less.

It's my own mistake! Back then, my mother reminded me that the blessings of Qi people are not so easy to enjoy, and now is the time for retribution. In the blink of an eye, I looked at the weak and poor daughter, and the sad and desperate wife, and my heart sank to the bottom inch by inch.
