Chapter 41: Punishment

Mama Li said the matter back and forth with a frightened expression, and when she saw Su Shi looking at her with a solemn face, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly lowered her head and lowered her eyes: "The slave is guilty, let the lady punish her." ā€

"It is inevitable that there will be wear and tear in the sewing room." Mama Xu frowned.

"The second young lady kept saying that the slave maid had deducted her clothes, and the slave maid was really wronged, even if she borrowed a hundred dares from the slave maid, the slave and maid did not dare to do such a thing." Mama Li sobbed.

"Mama Li, you are also the old lady in the house, how can you do things so unstable?" Su Shi glanced at her coldly, and said slowly, "The second young lady is making clothes in the mansion for the first time, you actually broke into such a big basket, thinking that you are unintentional, and you are old, you will be fined three months' monthly money, but you can't stay in the needlework room, go to the concierge to get an errand by yourself!" ā€

"Thank you, Madame, for your forgiveness." Mama Li secretly rejoiced in her heart.

As long as you don't offend the young lady, you have room for maneuver.

After listening to Mama Yang's eloquent retelling, Xia immediately smiled and bent over, and asked Chunyan to take out the water-red fragrant cloud yarn from the cabinet and throw it in front of her, disdainfully: "The Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, and people fight for a breath, so I naturally don't like this piece of fragrant cloud yarn, so I will reward it to Mama!" ā€

"Young lady, how can a slave or maid accept such a valuable thing." Mama Yang humbly gave way.

"Mama, what are you polite to me? If you want to take it, you can take it, can I keep it and still wear it? Xia said disapprerovingly, "Naturally, this matter should not be too ostentatious, don't you have a daughter who is married to Ningzhou Mansion?" Just dress her up! ā€

Mama Yang's daughter Luo Shi married Wu Lao Liu, the shopkeeper of the winery in Ningzhou Mansion of the Guogong Mansion, as his wife, and her life was quite passable, but Ningzhou Mansion was remote and far away, and Luo Shi could not return to the capital several times a year.

"Then thank you, Madame." Mama Yang responded with a smile, happily folded the fabric, put it in her arms, and chatted with Xia for a while before getting up to say goodbye.

"Young lady, that Mama Li is so hateful, she actually retracted her confession in front of Madame and bit us back, it's really too deceitful." Cuizhi said angrily, "Hongxiu told me, saying that Mama Li went to the back house to find Mama Yang and muttered for a long time, and then went straight to Madame, but I don't know what to say, Madame fined her half a year's monthly money, and transferred her from the sewing room to the concierge." ā€

On the grounds that Mama Li cut her clothes, this punishment is not heavy, nor is it light.

It seems that Su Shi doesn't want to track it down.

"That's right, young lady, the slave maid thinks that we should also go to Madame to make it clear, otherwise, we will lose too much." Momozhi also persuaded.

"If Madam wanted to investigate, she wouldn't have punished Mama Li like this, and it's useless to go now." Shen Qingli stroked his forehead and said, "I always didn't think about this matter, I didn't expect Mama Li to go back on her word, and now it is impossible for her to admit that she embezzled clothes or is the mastermind behind the scenes." "I made a mistake, I should have questioned Su Shi in front of him at the beginning.

"Young lady, let's go to Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai won't care." Cui Zhi mentioned yƬ road.

"Don't alarm Mrs. Tai." Shen Qingli shook his head.

"If only Sister Bi Tao and Sister Chun Tao were here, the Mama Li who beat her would definitely not be able to get up, see if she dares to go back on her word." Taozhi pursed her lips and said, "Young lady, what should we do?" ā€

"What else can I do? Forget it! That's it. Shen Qingli smiled, got up and said, "You still have the grapes you bought last time, right?" Let's go, I'll teach you how to make fruit soup, peel grapes, dice apples and pears, and then boil the juice with sugar, the weather is so dry, eat more fruit. ā€

Peach Branch and Emerald Branch couldn't help but look at each other.

The young lady is still in the mood to make fruit soup......

Mu An hugged the black wind and returned to Qingxin Garden.

It's already dark.

He slipped up to the second floor, saw that Mu Yu was also there, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, and then walked to Mu Yunting's side, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, the little one has been guarding near Chunhui Pavilion for a long time, and I saw Mama Yang go in and the boss came out for a while, and then I didn't see anyone else coming in and out." ā€

"Got it, have you been keeping an eye on Mama Yang these days, seeing what she's been busy with lately?" Mu Yunting said quietly.

"Shizi, my identity is too dazzling, how can I keep an eye on her?" The corners of Mu An's mouth twitched, and his face was embarrassed.

Is he going to follow that old woman all day long?

No!

There are many people in the house, and he will be discovered.

He is not an invisible person in the play.

"That's your business, if you have to figure out everything, then what else do I want you to do?" Mu Yunting looked at him incredulously.

"Ahem." Mu Yu saw the master and servant muttering there, and said with a displeased face, "Is there anything that even I am hiding?" ā€

"Nothing, a little thing." Mu Yunting waved at Mu An, waited for him to go down, and continued, "This time my grandmother went to Lingxiao Temple to stay, I want my sister and the fourth sister to accompany me, after I arrange it, I can't stay longer, grandmother has to rely on my sister to pay more attention." ā€

Because Sanniang Mulin was grounded and couldn't go out, if the rest of the sisters went, it was inevitable that she wouldn't be able to hang her face.

Therefore, this year, Mu Yunting asked the eldest sister Mu Yu and the fourth sister Mu Qing to accompany her grandmother.

"Erlang rest assured, my sister naturally knows what to do." Mu Yu replied briskly.

She had long wanted to go out for a walk.

"Sister, the Jingzhou Tong family is still waiting for us to reply!" Mu Yunting saw that she was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to ask.

"You dare to mention this." Mu Yu stood up suddenly, grabbed a book on the table, slammed it on the ground, and went downstairs without looking back.

Mu Yunting sighed, bent down and picked up the book.

He has always been unable to take this sister.

"The eldest lady is back." Seeing Mu Yu enter the house, the eldest girl greeted her with a smile, and saw that the master's eyes were red, and she was surprised, who dared to bully her young lady, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ā€

"It's okay, you go out, I want to be alone and quiet." Mu Yu sat on the edge of the bed, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears, "I won't call you, you don't come in." ā€

"Yes." Qiqiao hesitated for a moment and retreated.

Mu Yu kicked off her shoes, got on the bed, pulled the quilt, covered her head, and thought of the fairy-like man, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Before, he had seen her, and it was he who supported his father, who came to the house to propose marriage, and when he learned that she had answered, he happily ran all over the capital like a child to buy her a fine mutton fat jade bracelet for her.

At that time, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

On the wedding night, after he went into the house and lifted his hijab, he went to the study without saying a word, without any reason.

She slept alone on the marriage bed, bursting into tears.

After that, he took care of her like no one, but he didn't touch her once.

But in the end, she didn't ask him, and she couldn't ask.

It wasn't until he was dying in her arms that he said, Yu Niang, I'm sorry for you, I also knew that my life was not long on the day I got married, but I selfishly left you by my side for most of the year, those days with you were the happiest time in my life, you have to forgive my father, they just want me to leave some blood in this world, but I can't hurt you.

She hugged him and cried so much that she said why don't you leave me a child, I am willing to be with you forever......

He said, I have nothing left for you, I can only leave you a virgin, I only hope that you will be that person in the future, for the sake of my hard work, good to you, Yu Niang, I like you so much, so, you must be happy, live well for me, only when you are happy, I feel that the qiē I have paid for you is worth it......
