When Su Nianyu arrived at Ningrong Courtyard, Old Madam Su was half-lying on the soft floor with her arms on her pillow, her eyes gently closed, and her waist covered with a blanket, as if she was recuperating her spirits.

There was a maid next to her who helped her gently rub her temples, or pinch her shoulders, or beat her back; There was an incense burner on the half-human-high square table behind him, and light smoke slowly overflowed from it, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Mother Li welcomed her into the house very politely, and blessed the person who was half-lying on the couch: "Old lady, the eldest girl is here." ”

Old Madam Su hummed softly, slowly opened her eyes, and in an instant, a rigorous eye wind blew on Su Nianyu's body.

Su Nianyu stepped forward to salute, and said, "...... The granddaughter came at night because she had something to tell her grandmother, which disturbed her grandmother's rest, and I hoped that her grandmother would not blame her granddaughter. ”

Old Madam Su nodded lightly, but she didn't directly ask what was the matter with Ningrong Courtyard, but said lightly: "Sister Yu is here, let's sit down first." ”

The maids on both sides helped Mrs. Su sit up, and came forward with a cup of hot tea, Mrs. Su took it, and slowly took a few sips before letting the maid take it away again.

Although it was already six o'clock, Old Madam Su's spirit was still very good, her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and she should be in a good mood.

Seeing that Su Nianyu's eyebrows were dyed with anxiety, Mrs. Su asked, "It's so late, Sister Yu came to me, what's the urgency?" ”

Su Nianyu got up and knelt down towards the old lady, "The granddaughter didn't take good care of the second sister, and asked the grandmother to punish her." ”

Old Madam Su didn't expect her to make such a move, looking at the lowered head. His brow furrowed slightly.

For the only concubine of Su Mansion, she has always had a headache, in the end. But it's not very close.

Because of her domineering temperament, she has not raised the bar with her, and she is always so angry with this granddaughter that she wants to go to half her life; As soon as Dong died, his son felt guilty that he did not protect Dong, and protected this granddaughter closely, although it showed that she was always cold and cold, but it really hurt her to the bones.

Simply. She turned a blind eye.

Even so, the atmosphere between the two has not improved, and the granddaughter came to greet her. Every time he either stiffens his face or throws his sleeves and leaves, he has never had a good face.

Not to mention kneeling in front of her and saying she was at fault.

Old Madam Su frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What is the matter?" Let's hear it first. ”

Su Nianyu put the second sister in the Wang Mansion and had a dispute with someone. Another fall from a tree was said clearly and simply. When she said that the second sister broke herself because of this fall, Old Madam Su's originally strict face was shocked.

"What do you say? She actually broke her face? Lost two front teeth? ”

It was the first time Su Nianyu saw her grandmother's angry appearance, and answered in a low voice.

Old Madam Su's face was very unsightly, her chest rose and fell violently, and when Su Nianyu felt that Old Madam Su was about to say something serious, she suddenly closed her eyes and took several deep breaths.

When she finished doing this, Mrs. Su's feelings calmed down a lot.

But the frowning brow became deeper and deeper.

She said softly, "Why did this happen? The voice was low and deep. It's oppressive.

Su Nianyu lowered her eyes, and after a short hesitation. "...... Because after going to this banquet, Wang Xuan took me and the young lady next to me to enjoy the peach blossoms, and the granddaughter saw that the second sister also had a good chat with the other young ladies, so she went by herself; But when I didn't want to look back, I saw that the second sister had a little unpleasantness with the young lady, and the granddaughter really didn't know why; As for the wrestling, the granddaughter didn't know why, she originally thought that the second sister was very well-behaved on weekdays, but she didn't want to, so she had such things one after another, and the granddaughter, as the eldest sister, failed to protect her, and was willing to accept the punishment. ”

Su Nianyu didn't want to tell her grandmother directly why these things happened.

With her grandmother's temperament, if she can't tell the reason, her grandmother will inevitably order someone to investigate, and she will believe the truth found out by her people herself; If she had said it from someone who had not been a good friend of her grandmother, her grandmother would have become suspicious and think that if she said more or less, the effect would be halved.

It's better to let my grandmother do it herself.

Old Madam Su obviously didn't believe her words, and her eyes became more and more stern: "Are you really ignorant or false?" ”

"The granddaughter just listened to some gossip, but it may not be true," Su Nianyu bowed her head and said, "So the granddaughter really doesn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Old Madam Su frowned, "What kind of gossip, it's just that." ”

Su Nianyu paused, and then said softly: "My granddaughter heard that the second sister had a dispute with someone because she told others about right and wrong; And she will fall from the tree because she is hiding in the tree. ”

When Mrs. Su heard Su Nianyu say this, the Buddha beads that were originally holding in her hand and slowly turned did not move, and the whole person seemed to stiffen for a while, and then she took a deep breath again.

His face was already gloomy and frightening: "Ridiculous! It's nonsense! ”

Sure enough, Mrs. Su didn't believe what she said.

Su Nianyu lowered her eyes, and gave up the idea of explaining further, as long as her grandmother started to check, she would be able to know whether what she said was gossip or reality, and she had nothing to worry about after all.

But I heard my grandmother's threatening voice again: "How many people have heard about this?" ”

Su Nianyu knew that her grandmother was referring to these rumors, so she said truthfully: "The ladies who went to the banquet know about it. ”

Old Madam Su was silent and didn't speak, but after a while, she was rubbing her furrowed brows.

Su Nianyu knew that her grandmother was very irritable at this time.

Regardless of whether these rumors are true or not, since they have been spread, they are bound to spread, and the people who spread them talk about it, and how many of them are really thinking about whether these things are true or false?

The reputation of the second sister will definitely be greatly affected, and even the Su Mansion will be affected by twists and turns.

Come to think of it, this is one of the things that annoys my grandmother, and the other point is that the reputation of the second sister outside has always been very good. is even a role model for many noble ladies in the city, but now there are a lot of gossips that ruin the reputation of the boudoir, which catches the grandmother off guard.

I never thought it would happen.

Old Madam Su was indeed choked with anger. After just rubbing her eyebrows a few times, Mother Zhao, who was waiting beside her, hurriedly came to rub her temples on both sides, and said softly: "Don't be anxious, old lady, it must have been misreported by someone else." ”

Old Madam Su still pursed her lips, and when she looked up, she saw that Su Nianyu was still kneeling, so she waved her hand. He said in a stiff voice: "Sister Yu'er go back first." ”

Su Nianyu got up at this time.

Because I knelt for a while, when I first stood up, my legs were weak for a while, and both kneecaps were numb. Zhao's mother hurriedly ordered the maid who was waiting in the house to come over and hold her.

When the flower-like girl came out of the house, Zhao's mother's gaze was retracted from the other side of the door, and Fang Cai's polite smile was dyed with another love.

glanced at Old Madam Su and said softly, "Old Madam." The eldest girl's temperament seems to be much calmer. ”

Old Madam Su's eyes flashed a few times. Subconsciously looked at the place where the girl was kneeling.

Her granddaughter, who was always at odds with her, was able to kneel in front of her for so long without complaining, even smiling lightly when she stumbled when she got up.

It's changed, it's really changed......

When Su Nianyu walked out of Ningrong Courtyard, the sky had completely darkened.

Compared with the warmth of the day, the temperature in the evening has dropped a lot, and because of the wind, there is a chill in the face.

Su Nianyu subconsciously gathered the big Qiu outside. He put his two plain white hands in his wide sleeves, and the group walked in the haze of the night.

It's hard to walk at night. Yuanxiang Yuanqiu stood beside Su Nianyu and helped her to walk together.

Yuan Xiang held back for half of the way, and finally couldn't help but whisper: "Girl, the slave maid thinks that the old lady is more partial, and the second girl has ruined the reputation of Su Mansion, and she didn't say a word about her in front of you, but she made you kneel for so long......"

Su Nianyu's steps paused slightly, and then slowly moved forward: "How many times have I told you, this kind of thing must not be said again, so as not to cause trouble from the mouth." ”

Yuan Xiang answered, but whispered: "...... The slave and maid only dared to say this in front of the girl, but she was really unhappy, the girl was so good, but the old lady only had the second girl in her eyes. ”

Su Nianyu didn't say anything this time, she remembered her grandmother's reaction after the two gossips she briefly mentioned in the room.

She didn't believe that her second sister was the one who would do those things.

So, in the eyes of her grandmother, she is all faulty, but the second sister's body is all good?

Su Nianyu walked all the way, thinking about things all the way, but unconsciously returned to Yulan Garden.

The lights in the Magnolia Garden were bright, and Mama Xu had already walked more than a dozen times on the pavilion outside the house, and she was about to take two steps to the gate to ask if her master had returned.

It was so late in the sky, even though she was just going to the old lady's yard, Mama Xu was not at ease.

Always worried that a mouse or something else would scare her master out of somewhere, or that something bad had happened, she couldn't sleep on the bed, so she simply put on her clothes and got out of bed, and went straight outside to wait.

After waiting for a while, I looked forward to the familiar figure back, and in a moment, Mama Xu smiled on her face, and when she turned around, she beckoned the maid to take out the hand stove that had been burned and handed it to Su Nianyu.

Su Nianyu took it with a smile and said, "It's really cold outside, but I need a hand stove." ”

The big fur on the girl's body has wrapped her whole body tightly, and when Mama Xu welcomed the girl into the house, she couldn't help but put the knot together again, and muttered: "Be sure to cover it tightly, but don't catch a cold." ”

"Where?"

The girl said as she entered the house, but she thought about the murder of her grandmother in her previous life, and her eyes unconsciously fixed on her grandmother who was happy and worried about her.

Mama has a few gray hairs on her temples, and she is no longer young.

She should have enjoyed pure happiness, how could she let her lose her life because of her?

No way! (To be continued......)
