Chapter 164: Helplessness (4K, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The eldest lady asked Qingyun to question, she wanted to trick her and make her bow down and admit her mistake.
But she didn't expect that Qingyun not only dealt with it, but also turned her face and sued the old lady for a reason.
If it weren't for the eldest lady deliberately scaring Qingyun, yesterday's incident, Qingyun would not have the idea of putting it on the bright side again.
Since some people are not satisfied with the result of the disposal, it is better to dispose of it again.
Didn't the old lady think about the Hou Mansion and turn a blind eye to what the eldest lady did?
Although yesterday's incident involved the Jiang family, it did not cause any harm to the Jiang family, and she couldn't seek any justice for the Jiang family for what didn't happen, besides, Fang's mother took the matter on herself, she did it all for the eldest lady to complain, and felt that the old lady was unfair.
She counted the old lady so much, and the old lady was willing to spare her life for the sake of the Hou Mansion, what else did she have to say?
But now it's different, the eldest lady's stick not only hit her, but also hit the secret guard of the Zhennan Hou Mansion.
She teamed up with outsiders to harm the Hou Mansion, does this mean that she turned her elbow outward?
And the eldest lady suspects that the secret guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan are doing something in the house, this is a suspicion of the character of the Hou of Zhennan, if the Hou of Zhennan knows, will he not be angry, will he not be annoyed by the Hou Mansion?
You know, people have helped the Hou Mansion a lot.
Hou Fu is so questioned, there are only four words to describe it: ungrateful!
Such a person, most people will stay away.
The old lady is looking forward to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan becoming the backer of the Hou Mansion, can she not be angry when she hears this?
Besides, Qingyun made it clear that she wanted to take this matter to the Criminal Department to investigate, didn't she put the face of the Hou Mansion on the ground at that time, and trampled it on by people who passed by, so that the people of the whole Kyoto could see the dirty and jokes of the Hou Mansion?
Qingyun's attitude is there, over the years, how the Hou Mansion has treated her, everyone knows in their hearts, it's not that you say it's good to her. It's just good for her, she's not a fool, she knows it in her heart.
She chose to endure because the Jiang family really owed the Hou Mansion. Now it can be regarded as two clear, she can't find a sense of belonging in the Hou Mansion, and she is not a soft persimmon, allowing others to bully and insult her, and splash dirty water on her. She only asks for justice.
If not, then she did not hesitate to choose to break the net to seek justice for herself.
The Hou Mansion doesn't care about her anymore, her head is squeezed by the door, and she cares about the Hou Mansion.
After Qingyun finished speaking, she found a place and sat down.
Soon, the maid found the eldest lady.
The maid who went to invite the eldest lady to come was Qiu He, she had a strict mouth, and said that the old lady was looking for the eldest lady, but she didn't say why she was looking for her.
So when the eldest lady entered the house, her face was very calm. Goodbye to the old lady's face, she immediately knew that nothing good was going on.
She stepped forward and asked, "What is this, old lady, who made you angry?" ”
A sneer crossed the corner of the old lady's mouth, "I also dealt with yesterday's incident, if you are dissatisfied, you can say it directly, you suspect that Qingyun and the secret guards of the Zhennan Hou Mansion have stolen the beams and changed the pillars." Why don't you say anything about the witness?! ”
The eldest lady's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously retorted, "It's nothing, I ......." ”
She wasn't done yet. The old lady slapped the table, "Nothing? Could it be that Qingyun is slandering you?! ”
Only then did the eldest lady react, and Qingyun sued her with the old lady.
Her face turned blue and purple, and her eyes glowed with coldness.
Qingyun stood up and said, "Old lady." Why don't I let the guards into the house and bring in another witness to interrogate the matter? ”
Qingyun added a fire, and the whole face of the eldest lady was as black as the sky before the storm, and the dark clouds were thick, as if in an instant, it was pouring rain.
The old lady sat there, fiddling with the Buddhist beads in her hand.
Mother Sun stood aside, and she raised her hand to gently support her forehead.
I'm afraid it's going to be difficult today.
The old lady had already spared Fang's mother's life yesterday, and the eldest lady was still holding on to this matter, isn't this nothing to look for, and then put Fang's mother's life into it?
Mother Sun sighed softly in her heart, and waved her hand to signal the maids to go out.
and Mu Qingzhi, who also want to quit.
The old lady is mad at the eldest lady, is it a shameless thing for the eldest lady, or don't let the juniors see it.
Mu Qingzhi and the others didn't want to go, they wanted to stay and watch the excitement.
In this house, except for the old lady, no one dares to embarrass the eldest lady, Qingyun is the first.
She is really bold, she dares to sue the eldest lady, who doesn't have grievances and grit her teeth to admit it?
It's hard for her to be bold, and it's good to enjoy the shade with her back against the tree.
With the Marquis of Zhennan supporting her, she is not even afraid of the emperor, and she still dares to resist the Duke of Xingguo in the palace of the government, is she still afraid of a big lady?
Besides, it was the eldest lady who ignored yesterday's incident.
If it were them, the old lady would be unfair, and they would not be convinced.
In addition, the eldest lady forced her to confess, even if she is a clay person, she still has three points of temperament, let alone a human being?
Zhou Ziting was the last to get out of the house, and before leaving, she glanced at Qingyun.
His eyes were bright and shining with excitement.
Soon, there were four people left in the room.
Mother Sun stood beside the old lady, she didn't leave, because she was worried that the old lady would be angry, and there was someone next to her who could always remind her.
Qingyun stood aside, her back straight, and a vague smile on the corner of her mouth.
The old lady sat there, she looked at the eldest lady, her eyes were sharp, "Isn't there a witness, find a witness!" ”
The eldest lady's scalp was tense, where did she come from, it was nonsense, she tugged on the embroidered handkerchief, and said, "There are no witnesses." ”
The old lady smiled, she knew that there were no witnesses, if there were witnesses, would she not look for her, only Qingyun?
But that's it, there are no witnesses, and what is said is true, which is the most infuriating, whenever she pays attention to evidence, she fabricates it out of thin air, she wants to convict people, and she wants to convict people, and what do you want to do with family rules, and national law? !
The old lady looked at her, and she smiled, "There is no evidence, the righteous words you said, I still think you really have the evidence!" ”
"If there is no evidence, you just said that Qingyun and the secret guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan joined forces to calculate you and the Hou Mansion of Zhongyi? Yesterday, Fang's mother had already admitted that she was the one who put bacon in Shu Jin, and I already looked at you, for the sake of the face of the Marquis of Zhongyi, wronged Qingyun, spared her life, and did not blame you. You don't know how to reflect, and you will push the wrong person onto others! As the head of the Hou Mansion, this is your way of governing the family?! ”
At the end, the old lady's body was trembling. Even his voice trembled, and it was obvious that his anger was not light.
She sneered, "I'm biased with you, I save face for you, and I don't dig deeper." Mother Fang will take the wrong person, I only don't know about you, it's because the royal family is not strict, you are really confused when I am old, let you fool me! ”
The eldest lady stood there, and she was also angry, "Bias with me? If you are biased with me, will you only send a thank you gift to Jiang's house? The Hou Mansion was degraded because of the Jiang family, and it was natural for the Jiang family to help restore it! ”
The old lady smiled. Laughing, she raised her hand and threw away the pastry plate at hand.
I don't know if the old lady smashed too many things, Qingyun found that she was very good at throwing things.
The previous tea cup was thrown on Fang's mother, and now it has smashed on the eldest lady's ankle.
Qingyun saw that the eldest lady's forehead was bruised, and it was completely painful.
There was no tea on the small table, and before the maid withdrew, Mother Sun let the maid leave, probably knowing that the old lady would be angry and smash things.
The old lady lost something. also scolded four words, "stupid and dull as a pig!" ”
Hearing these four words, Qingyun couldn't help but applaud in her heart, "The scolding is beautiful!" ”
But. Scolding the eldest lady can't calm Qingyun's anger, let alone prevaricate the secret guard.
No, the old lady wants to execute Fang's mother.
The eldest lady stood up and said, "Mother Fang can't die, I have already promised the eldest lady of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion." ”
The old lady sneered, "Promise? If the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion takes away Fang's mother today. Then let her take you back with you! ”
The eldest lady's face was like ashes.
Even Qingyun was stunned.
Let the Marquis of Zhongyi take away the eldest lady, this is not to ...... Divorced the eldest lady?
The eldest lady smiled, her smile was cold, and she said with hatred, "You want to divorce me?" I have been married to the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and I have no credit and hard work, so I am actually going to divorce me?! ”
The old lady made a cold face, "I just divorced you, and no one dared to say that I was not!" ”
The restoration of the title of Hou Mansion was a favor from the Jiang family, and she went to thank her, which was reasonable.
The Zhongyi Marquis Mansion didn't help, so what kind of thank you did she go to?
didn't say thank you, she blamed her for being biased, and she didn't even understand the most basic human relations!
In order to go to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion to give gifts, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan who came to deliver the gifts was hung outside the door, and let the subordinates go to greet them, and they couldn't figure out the weight.
These are nothing, being the housewife, carrying the gift to give away, letting the personal mother put bacon in the Shu brocade, it is disgusting to say it, such a daughter-in-law, even if she is divorced, no one will help her say a good word!
The old lady only hated the old lady for not having more sons, even if she had a concubine and daughter-in-law, she had nothing to fear, and felt that the Hou Mansion would not be able to leave her.
The old lady raised her hand, and Mother Sun hurriedly helped her up.
The old lady looked at the eldest lady and said, "Execute Mother Fang, prepare a thank-you gift, go to Jiang's house to thank Old Lady Jiang, if you can't do it, take Mother Fang back to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion together, and when the Hou Ye comes back in a few days, I will ask him to send you the letter of resignation." ”
After speaking, the old lady glanced at Qingyun, raised her other hand and said, "Help Grandmother into the house." ”
She called herself grandmother, so that Qingyun would follow her and call her grandmother.
Qingyun replied softly, "Yes, grandmother." ”
Then, go over and help the old lady.
After entering the inner room, Qingyun helped her sit down.
The old lady looked at her and sighed lightly, "Over the years, the Hou Mansion has indeed owed you something, but what grandmother does is for the good of the Hou Mansion, and grandmother also knows that for so many years, for the Hou Mansion, many people have been wronged, especially your eldest sister...... That's it, don't mention her, yesterday, you also saw it, the eldest lady excused herself to go to the Zhongyi Hou Mansion and treat the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan slowly, the Hou Mansion only has her as a big lady, the grandmother only hates not giving birth to two brothers for your father, the old lady did not give birth to two more concubines, the grandmother can't do it if she wants to ground, the Hou Mansion needs her to usher in the send-off, the grandmother is old, she can't show her head, and she doesn't have the energy to show up. ”
As she spoke, her voice weakened, revealing a thick sense of helplessness, as if she had suddenly aged ten years old.
If the eldest lady makes a mistake, she should be grounded and punished.
But how to be punished, in a month in Kyoto, I don't know how many banquets, how many happy events, how many funerals, how many birthday banquets.
Some gifts can be given by others, but some are absolutely not.
Grounded the eldest lady, she has to give gifts, she is an old lady.
It was she who went to give gifts, and the eldest lady should also be by her side, otherwise everyone should ask the eldest lady.
You can't always excuse the eldest lady to be sick, it's okay to be sick for a day or two, but if you've been sick for a long time, there should be rumors that she is going to die, and then she will come to visit the patient.
But if it is said that he is punished, then it is the Hou Mansion that has no face.
She can't just look at the present and ignore the future.
The old lady also knew that she was undoubtedly fueling the arrogance of the eldest lady, but what could she do?
Did you really divorce the eldest lady?
After the divorce, marry another one for the Hou Ye?
Not to mention that there are concubines and concubines in the house, so I can't find a suitable girl for the age of the marquis, fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, it's okay to play with Qingyun and them, and it's difficult to deal with those thirty-five or sixteen-year-old noble ladies.
Besides, without the eldest lady suppressing those aunts in the house, it is estimated that the new daughter-in-law will not be able to wait for the new daughter-in-law to enter the door, and the Hou Mansion does not know what the trouble will become.
She looked at Qingyun and said, "What grandmother said, if you think about it carefully, maybe you don't understand it now, but when you are in your grandmother's position, you can understand." ”
"You are a smart child, you should know that Zhennan Hou Mansion is now your backer, but Young Master Chu is only a young master from the outer room after all, you have also seen the attitude of Mrs. Chu, she doesn't like the concubine from the outer room, and she won't like it if she is anyone, Zhennan Hou is very fond of Young Master Chu now, but after all, he is an elderly person, even if he can protect you, how long can he protect you."
"Women, gaining a foothold in her mother-in-law's family are all supported by her mother's family, and the eldest lady is now seeking a reliance on the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion?"
"If the Hou Mansion is good, you will be better, don't be rash and make enemies of the Hou Mansion."
These words can be regarded as reassuring.
Qingyun's cold heart warmed a little, she looked at the old lady and said, "What grandmother said, Qingyun understands that as long as her father and grandmother are alive, the Hou Mansion will be Qingyun's dependence." ”
The old lady listened, she looked at Qingyun, looked at her bright face, a pair of eyes, bright and bright, dark eyes, clear like washed ink jade, shining.
He is a smart kid and can see through it.
She and Master Hou will be her support, but the eldest lady will definitely not.
This Hou Mansion will sooner or later be handed over to the eldest lady's mother and son.
She helps the Hou Mansion, that is, she helps the eldest lady, mother and son.
She was not reconciled.
And she, I can't force her, and I can't force her.
The old lady closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Qingyun is also contemplative.
Maybe Chu Bei is right, it's a pity to ruin the Anding Marquis Mansion, it's better to use it for her?
Find a rival for the eldest lady?
Auntie? Or the second aunt?
Thinking of Mu Qingzhi and Mu Qingxue, Qingyun's eyelids jumped twice.
Four words popped out of her head: drive the tiger and lead the wolf.
