Chapter 50: Reckoning with the Autumn (1)
At the beginning of the day, the lights in the Changfeng Hall were bright, and the meals that had been prepared in the small kitchen were cold and reheated.
"Let's warm it up first, it is estimated that it will not be finished in a while." The housekeeper's mother-in-law commanded.
"Yes." The cook was anxious, "Can ...... I'm afraid this peach blossom assorted honey fish is ...... Fishy. β
Fish are easy to fish when they are cold.
"Withdraw." The housekeeper's mother-in-law sighed, this matter is very big today, and the implication is widespread, and it is estimated that the old lady has no heart for dinner, "Prepare some official swallow ginseng soup." β
"Yes." The cook stepped back cautiously.
The marble tiles of the main hall were full of kneeling, and sparse sobs came and went.
The old lady sat upright, her eyelids half-drooping, not angry and arrogant.
Fang Cai, the resentful Sanniang, the aggrieved Wuniang, and the cowardly Dalang all told the ins and outs of the matter, and the girl who had been locked up made a supplement.
Chen's heart is uneasy, whether it is Dalang Sanniang or Wuniang, she is the person in her big house, and now there is such an unfilial scandal, I am afraid that her mother will be to blame.
The eldest lord was annoyed and angry, first he did such a big rebellious thing, and now they are still fighting for it, which really disgraced his old face, it was his father's poor discipline, and he was useless.
"Mother, it was unfilial piety for them to prevent you from returning to the house that day, and it was unkind to fight today, it was disrespectful not to listen to the teachings of the elders, and it was dishonest to know and not change, so unfilial and disrespectful, unkind and insincere people, please punish you severely!"
The old man's righteous words have the meaning of righteousness to destroy relatives.
Siniang, who was sitting beside the old lady, trembled her eyebrows, and the uncle was really angry this time.
Chapter 39: Unfilial Piety (2)
"Sir!" Chen's words were crying, "Fang Cai Sanniang and Dalang have said that it was Wu Niang who planned and instigated it, you can't beat Dalang Sanniang to death with a stick!" β
She knelt down and climbed forward again, crying and begging for mercy, "Mother, mother, you have to make the decision for Dalang Sanniang, they are young and ignorant, please spare them once, I will definitely be optimistic about them in the future, and these ugly things will never happen again." β
"Chen, shut up for me!" The eldest master stepped forward and grabbed her, "In front of Mother, you are talking nonsense. β
Sanniang is even more angry now, obviously it's not her fault, why did her father punish her and that slut together?
"Grandmother, I was completely deceived by Wu Niang's slut in this matter, I am innocent!" She was in a hurry and didn't choose what to say.
"Sanniang, don't be presumptuous!" The eldest lord reprimanded.
"Father, what's wrong with the daughter!" She is out of the way, these days the humiliation of the second room, the framing of Wu Niang, the grievances of her mother, the protection of her father, and the arrogance of the slut in the third room, she has had enough, she is not wrong, but today she has to be punished together, this kind of day, she Su Qingfeng is fed up!
"On that day, you and your mother teamed up to drive Su Muli away, and the eldest brother burned down the Hongyan Inn overnight, and the eldest brother killed the shopkeeper, don't you want your grandmother to return home later?"
She stood up excitedly, walked up to the eldest master, and asked sharply, "Wu Niang's mind is the most poisonous, and she came up with a plan to tell me, and the eldest brother sent someone in a hurry, isn't it exactly what you want?" β
"Father, mother, second uncle and second aunt, ask yourself, how many people in this house are sincerely willing to let Su Muli return home? Who in the general's mansion doesn't know that the Su family has not relied on the three-room industry to maintain it all these years, and now as soon as she comes back, even the general's mansion will be left to her as a dowry, will you be willing? β
"Grandmother will come back later, so the big guy will have time to do it, and who of you doesn't think so? It's just that my grandmother was critically ill later, and everyone was scared, so they put the blame on our juniors! Honestly, what is wrong with my eldest brother, tell me, didn't we do exactly what you wanted? β
Sanniang was extremely excited, and in the end, she pointed at the eldest master and asked.
Banxiang stood behind Qi Niang, and her back was dripping with cold sweat when she heard it.
Qi Niang was surprised in her heart, and her face was still as usual.
These things are just for the sake of a good word, and they are touching people's hearts, and they have been the case throughout the ages.
The old man was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, "You ...... You rebel! He got up and stepped forward, and the "snap" was a slap, the voice was very harsh, and You Shi, who was sitting in a corner, trembled.
Wu Niang knelt behind her head and stopped sobbing.
"Father......" Sanniang's eyes widened, her face full of surprise, "You...... You're ...... Hit me? β
"I ...... Where did I say it wrong, you said, isn't Su Muli the house you drove out, the eldest brother sent people to chase and kill him overnight, didn't he get your acquiescence, and that day at the city gate, didn't you and the second uncle try their best to obstruct her from saving her grandmother? β
"Now, one by one, you open your mouth and close your mouths but only say that I am wrong, I am not filial, unkind, disrespectful and insincere, how good are you elders? Aren't they all vicious and rebellious? β
"You...... You ......", the old man's face was swollen red, his eyes were round, and his hand pointing at Sanniang trembled vigorously, and suddenly he closed his eyes and fell down with a "bang".
"Sir, sirβ"
"Big brotherβ"
"Fatherβ"
The hall was full of cries.
A quarter of an hour later, with a wave of Qi Niang's hand, all the seventy-seven forty-nine silver needles were pulled out, and the eldest master opened his eyes leisurely.
"Master-", Chen burst into tears.
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and sat back with the help of Siniang.
"Uncle fainted in anger, but now that he has woken up, he is fine, and please rest assured that my grandmother and aunt will not worry." Qi Niang packed up the silver needle and bowed back, "However, Uncle has a serious heart attack, and he needs more recuperation in the future." β
"Yes, yes." Chen wiped his tears and nodded, but he didn't know how to say thank you.
"Alright, let's all sit back." The old lady spoke.
Everyone sat silently, and the Chen family stood by the corner of the big man.
Sanniang didn't make any more trouble after this incident, and knelt behind them with Da Lang.
The girl was trembling with fright.
"Fang Cai, you've said enough, and you've made enough trouble, now let me be honest, let me say a few words."
The old lady's words were slow and clear, threatening and angry.
Qi Niang couldn't help frowning, grandmother was going to be powerful.
"This first and most important thing, Su Muli, fourteen years old, is the eldest daughter of my Su family in Cen Zhou, the daughter of my son General Changfeng, I officially recognize this granddaughter today, do you still have any objections?"
The people below each half-hung their faces, shook their heads again and again, and said "I don't dare".
The old lady's face was slightly pale, "She, the seventh in the clan, will be the seventh mother of my general's mansion in the future." β
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
"The second thing, the Su family in the General's Mansion has never been separated, but the public is public and private, all the three-room properties will be handed over to me from now on, whether it is a big house or a second room, no matter how much it is involved, if I find out, there are still people who dare to have any plans for this, and immediately expel me from the Su family."
The old lady swept her eyes around, "You guys, do you still have objections?" β
Although everyone below had different thoughts, they didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only shake their heads unwillingly.
