596 The old servant causes trouble
Not to mention how remorseful Su'er felt in her heart, in the blink of an eye, the board hit her, making her scream bitterly.
Listening to the miserable scream, Mama Cha felt a chill in her heart, trembling all over, but she was unwilling to leave, and looked at the gate of the garden from time to time.
Hua Tian saw these in the side hall, but he still sat still, waiting for someone to come to the door.
On the third day of the housekeeper she issued a new rule, which was true, but the rest of the rooms never did as she said. Now that Laiyi said this, if someone came to confront him, and all the stewards had not heard what they said, wouldn't they be beating themselves up?
Although there were some worries in his heart, Hua Tian still didn't plan to do anything. After all, this matter has been handed over to Laiyi to deal with, so it is time to exercise and exercise Laiyi, instead of following behind and cleaning up. If something really happens, it can also teach Laiyi a lesson.
After thinking about it, Hua Tian continued to sit and looked outside.
Not long after, there was another sound at the garden gate, but I saw Zhongli's second aunt walking first with a maid and servant, followed by Zhongli's third uncle's concubine Aunt Yu, and Aunt Yu was also followed by a group of maids.
The two of them entered the garden, and when they heard the sound of the board crackling and Su'er's miserable screams, their faces immediately changed.
Laiyi saw the two of them from a distance, and did not ask anyone to stop the board, so he walked forward to greet people.
Zhong Li's second aunt knew that Zhong Li Che had gone north, and she was not afraid of Hua Tian at all, and her walking posture showed two points, which was unusually flamboyant. Aunt Yu couldn't hear the screams coming from her eldest girl, but she was full of confidence and followed Laiyi.
Where do you know that you can't go far, but it's a limp. Go to the pavilion in the middle of the garden, instead of going straight into the main house.
Aunt Yu just wanted to ask a question, but when she looked up, she saw that it was her eldest maid who was lying on the bench and was beaten on the board, and immediately exclaimed in a low voice, and then became furious, "How dare you beat my maid?" β
Everyone got closer and closer, and they had come to the pavilion, and saw that Su'er's face was as white as paper, and there was blood flowing out of the back of the board.
Laiyi's face remained unchanged. Seriously. "This girl is proud of her identity, relying on Aunt Yu's support, acting too rampantly, and not taking the rules of the house into account at all. scared Xiao Langjun again. Therefore, the penalty is severe. β
If Aunt Yu next to her dares to refute. But when it comes to this Xiao Langjun, she has to restrain her momentum. She was nothing more than a favored concubine, who could dominate in her own garden. But when she met the son-in-law of the new generation, she didn't dare to put a fart.
But even though he didn't dare to get angry, he was really angry in his heart, which made his whole body tremble a little.
At this time, Mama Cha saw Aunt Zhongli's second aunt, her eyes turned red, and she wiped her tears and said, "Poor old man, he has no hard work and no merit, just eat a plate of Zhiwei cake, and he will be fined for a month...... I want to ...... in the first place."
She sobbed and spoke clearly about her past merits, and said that Hua Tian did not respect her and sent a maid to send her away.
Second Aunt Zhongli's face changed, and she looked at Laiyi, "Why are you a maid here?" What about Liuniang? β
Laiyi bent down slightly, saluted, and then said slowly, "Madame is unwell, and she wants to coax Xiaolangjun to sleep, so she has handed over this matter to the slave maid to deal with." β
Second Aunt Zhongli immediately snorted coldly, "Didn't you get sick when you saw us coming?" Why didn't you get sick sooner or later? β
"Where is it that our lady is sick at this time if she is not born sooner or later? Obviously, the second lady saw that our son-in-law had just gone north, and the lady was sick again, so she stepped on the time and came to the door not later or in the morning. With a mockery on the corner of his mouth, Lai Yi said softly.
Zhongli's second aunt was furious, her palms raised, and she was about to fan Laiyi.
Laiyi deviated slightly, dodged the slap, stepped on his foot slightly, and suddenly collapsed a stone bench, and dust flew everywhere.
Zhongli's second aunt was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes almost bulged out, and she looked at the stone bench on the ground that was shattered into powder in disbelief.
When she reacted, she hurriedly took a few steps back, and was willing to stop when she was far enough away from Laiyi.
At the beginning, Zhongli relied on martial arts and acted rampantly, she had seen it. Now this slave maid, if she is also crazy, although she will inevitably die afterwards, but her life is precious, how can she risk her life? You can't let her go crazy and hit people!
At this time, Su'er's board was finished, and the executioners all retreated, leaving only Su'er, who was half-unconscious, lying on the bench and not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
Aunt Yu had already reacted, she glanced at Zhongli's second aunt, and cried, "Pity me for being such a maid, but I died here......"
Second Aunt Zhongli is not a person who is willing to admit defeat, she retreated to a safe distance, and after expecting that Laiyi could not do anything to her immediately, she also pointed at Laiyi and scolded.
After scolding a few words, she told all the exploits that Mama Cha had had, and the words were all about Hua Tian's improper handling and truthfulness, giving people a feeling that the people in the Zhenguo Mansion were ungrateful.
Laiyi listened to her scolding a few words, her face was not light, and when she heard that Mama Tea had breasted Erdalangjun, she was equivalent to half of Erdalangjun's mother, and she had all the credit and hard work, so she sneered,
"Isn't Erda Langjun's mother an old lady? How can Mama Cha stand side by side with the old lady? At the beginning, Erda Langjun was able to grow up safely, relying on the old lady's upbringing, what does it have to do with this tea mama? If it is said to be a nursing mother, it is just a person who has taken two silver taels to work, how can it be regarded as a meritorious labor? β
Second Aunt Zhongli's face changed when she heard this, she couldn't have imagined that this maid was so flexible in her speech, and as soon as she said it, she took advantage of it, but put them in an extremely disadvantageous position.
Mama Cha said angrily, "I'm a big Erlang, how can I have no credit and no hard work?" In this Great Zhou Dynasty, which family does not provide nursing mothers? Why is the Zhenguo Mansion so depressed and disrespectful to the nursing mother? β
"Respecting the nursing mother is a love, not a duty. If Mama Tea is really worthy of respect, we will naturally respect it too. But Mama Tea can quarrel with a young maid because of a plate of delicious cakes, how can she still be respected? Laiyi said disdainfully.
"How's a plate of the most delicious cakes? If there is no Mama Cha, it is one thing whether Erlangjun can grow up. And Mama Tea has taken Erlangjun since she was a child, and Erlangjun is equivalent to asking her to bring her up, but isn't it with Yang'en? It has always been said that giving birth is not as good as raising grace. The kindness of our tea grandmother is great. β
A maid beside Zhongli's second aunt said sharply.
As soon as she finished speaking, the face of Aunt Zhongli changed, but Mama Cha had a smug look on her face.
At this moment, an aging and slow voice suddenly sounded, "It turns out that Mama Tea has taken advantage of this favor?" But I have nothing to do as a grandmother. β
Zhongli's second aunt and Cha Mama's faces changed color, and they both turned around.
I saw that the old town duchess was supported by the maid and was standing behind everyone. Looking at her, I don't know how long she has been here, and how much she has listened to everyone's disputes.
However, no matter how much the old Duchess of Zhenguo listened. She heard the most important thing.
Mama Cha's body reacts faster than her brain. Immediately, his feet softened, he fell to his knees on the ground, and cried, "That's just a maid's nonsense." Please don't take the old lady seriously. β
The Duchess of the Old Town walked into the pavilion. I saw Su'er lying on a bench bleeding. Disgust flashed across his face.
Lai Yi hurriedly glanced at the servant women on the side, and the servants hurriedly stepped forward to carry Su'er away, and hurriedly cleaned up the pavilion.
Come forward. Led the old Duchess to the side and sat down on a stone bench.
Mama Cha trembled like chaff, and kept kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up.
Zhongli's second aunt's face was ugly, but she groaned.
The old Duchess of Zhenguo sat down, and then said slowly, "The words were said by the maid, so they must have just spoken to your heart?" Otherwise, why didn't he refute it? β
The old slave listened to the left, and he couldn't react for a while. This maid looked at her eyes, she must have been sent by someone else to frame the old slave, and asked the old lady to call the shots. Mama Cha was so panicked that she hurriedly opened her mouth to help herself justify.
Her defense immediately annoyed Zhongli's second aunt and made Zhongli's second aunt itch with hatred.
At this time, the maid who had just spoken knelt down, "The slave maid is the maid next to the second lady, and she has entered the mansion since the end of last year, how can she harm the people in the mansion?" Those words just now were just heard and learned. If the statement is wrong, the slave and maid admit the punishment. Only one point, this matter has nothing to do with the second lady. β
Second Aunt Zhongli glanced at Mama Cha, and complained in her heart that she was not successful enough to fail, and said, "Yes, this maid was bought last year, and because she was clever and obedient, she stayed by my side." Mama Cha doesn't recognize it, I'm afraid she doesn't usually come to my house. β
She figured out that GuΓ² Tea Mama was successful, and she didn't necessarily want to teach Tea Mama a lesson. This person has always been very proud of the master of the house by relying on his own milk, and sometimes he will even disobey her, making her so shameless.
This time I saw that Mama Cha was indeed ruined, and it would be difficult to do it again. She might as well step forward and step on it, it was useless anyway.
Mama Cha listened, and when she heard the second lady's words, she knew that this time it was going to be bad, so she was so frightened that she kowtowed and didn't dare to say anything.
The old Zhenguo Duchess looked coldly, looking at Mama Cha, and her heart was full of murderous intent. She is a wife, but the one who grew up with Mama Cha is a concubine, and she should have raised her. Now Mama Cha's words are undoubtedly slapping her in the face and questioning her mother-in-law's responsibility.
"Disrespectful for the old, as a slave, it was originally my duty to do things for the master, but now I have taken the credit. Usually not in front of us, I don't know how to be arrogant. Someone will drive this old woman out, and her family will never enter the house again. β
This time, Mama Cha was even more desperate, kowtowing harder, her hair was now gray, and her forehead was full of blood, looking so pitiful.
But the old Duchess of Zhenguo was unmoved, beckoned, and called someone to take the person out.
Mama Tea didn't give up, she was driven out, and she still kept pleading. Her family is all servants of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the deed of sale is in the hands of the old Zhenguo Duchess, if she is driven out, she can only starve to death.
However, in this inner house, there is no heart that is not cold and hard, listening to her plea, the old Zhenguo Duchess and the second aunt Zhongli did not say a word.
Mama Cha was completely desperate, and a wave of hatred suddenly arose in her heart, and she screamed, "The old lady spares her life, this quarrel was ordered by the second lady to the old slave, saying that she wants to find the eldest young lady to take revenge." β
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo looked at Aunt Zhongli like a knife.
Second Aunt Zhongli's face turned white, cold sweat was dripping, and she knelt down suddenly, "Old lady Mingjian, that old woman has always hated me, and this time it must be to take revenge on me." β
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo didn't speak, but her eyes were still on Aunt Zhongli's second aunt.
Second Aunt Zhongli didn't dare to move, only lowered her eyebrows and let the old Zhenguo Duchess look at her.
Aunt Yu stood aside with a white face, shrinking her body, trying to shrink her sense of existence. Because the third uncle Zhongli is the second son of the Duchess of Laozhenguo, he has always been under the control of the Duchess of Laozhenguo. As the concubine in Zhongli's third uncle's house, she is the most disdainful of the old Zhenguo Duchess.
No one spoke in the pavilion anymore, and it became silent.
Hua Tian hid in the side hall, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. What Laiyi did this time made her very satisfied.
The elders are here, and I should show my face.
Hua Tian thought in his heart and stood up.
Just when the pavilion was quiet, and the maids didn't even dare to come out, Fennel walked in with a few stewards.
After entering the garden, Fennel looked around, and when she saw the ritual in the pavilion, she beckoned behind her and walked to and from the place.
The group approached, and saw that the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo's face sank like water, while the second aunt Zhongli was kneeling on the ground, as if they hadn't seen anything.
"I've seen the old lady, I've seen the second ladyβ" Fennel saluted with a few stewards.
A few stewards bowed and took a closer look at Zhongli's second aunt's face, and when they saw her face shriveling, they suddenly had a plan in their hearts.
The old Duchess of Zhenguo looked away and looked at Fennel and a few stewards, "But there is something to go back?" Liu Niang is unwell today, so she will come back tomorrow. β
Laiyi stood up and replied, "Old lady, the stewards are invited by slaves and maids. β
When the old duchess heard this, she looked at Laiyi.
Lai Yi cleared her throat, and said that Hua Tian's housekeeper had promulgated the new rules on the third day, and said that today's tea mama and Su'er had come here directly to report to the public stewards, and said that she was inviting people here now for confronting and accountability.
After she finished explaining, before the old Duchess of Zhenguo could speak, all the stewards knelt down, saying that they were used to the old rules, and they were not suitable for changing the new rules, and they were so forgetful that they forgot to inform the new rules.
When they had finished explaining, they knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
When the Duchess of Lao Zhenguo heard that Hua Tian had changed the rules she had set as soon as she took office, she was a little unhappy. This has changed the rules, doesn't it negate what I did before?
Fennel observed the words, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Old lady, this rule was set by the prince and his wife. Childe said that he had just gotten married, and they were both young, so they could care about everything if they were impatient......"
As he spoke, two blushes appeared on his face, as if he couldn't go on anymore.
The Duchess of Lao Zhenguo was stunned, saw Fennel's face, and quickly understood what Zhong Liche meant, and suddenly laughed a little, leaving behind the anger in her heart. (To be continued......)
