Chapter 78

So, no matter how Xu shouted injustice, the old lady didn't believe her, she didn't believe a word, the more Xu made a fuss, the more she saw Xu's diaphragm, which made people block Xu's mouth, and said coldly: "If you know what is wrong, go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures for a few days, it just so happens that Man Jin and Man Yu have suffered today, and you are praying for their sisters." ”

After a pause, the old lady sneered: "If you don't know what to do, your father is also a county magistrate for the crime of murder, and you also know how to judge the crime when you get to the county office." It's really not good, my Shu family is willing to do it once and for all, so as to prevent future troubles. Although it hinders Zheming's reputation a little, there is no hurdle that a man can't get through when he is alive, with his father taking care of him, he is young, and he grew up in a foreign house since he was a child, and he doesn't worry that he won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future and can't go to the official career! ”

Xu is not stupid, the old lady's threat, she is not at all unaware of the seriousness. The old lady is the one who doesn't like to play Tai Chi the most, Ding is Ding Mao is Mao, she is really anxious, and it is not impossible to send her to the mansion.

How old is Shu Zheming now? At the age of twelve, there are still six years before marrying a wife, and there are four or five years of hard work. These people love to watch the excitement, but who will care about a lively watch for three or five years? Half a year is the limit, and in another year or two, if Shu Chengye marries another, then Shu Zheming will not have to be dragged down by her.

A child at a young age, and she never grew up in front of her, what does her viciousness have to do with Zheming? The more I thought about it, the more Xu felt that this time, the old lady would probably not spare her easily, so her face became more and more pale, and she was frightened, so she couldn't harden her mouth, but if she really admitted it, it would not be Guan Fotang.

For a while, Xu didn't know whether to continue to deny it or turn to pleading, his mind was blank, and he couldn't say a word for a long time with his mouth open.

The old lady didn't look at her either, and directly ordered: "Mother Yao, send Xu's to the Buddha Hall, because Manjin and Manyu have accidents today, Xu's specially invited himself into the Buddha Hall to pray for his troubled daughter." The Xu family didn't come to the capital before, but Man Jin and Man Yu didn't have anything to do, and this mother and daughter may have a time to restrain each other. ”

Xu's face was even more pale, if the old lady confirmed this statement, I am afraid that in the future, she will not even be able to see the faces of Man Jin and Man Yu: "Mother, it's not like this, mother, listen to me......"

Xu Shi hurriedly stepped forward to pull the old lady's clothes, the old lady took a step back, Yao's mother stopped in front of the old lady, bent down to support Xu, and dragged the person hard: "Madam, you can be careful, there are steps in front, if you hit it, maybe there will be a scar on this face." ”

Xu Shi didn't care to talk to Yao's mother, and tears fell anxiously: "Mother, please, I really don't get along with Manjin and Manyu, this thing today is just an accident, I didn't know before, mother, please, Manjin and Manyu are my lifeblood." ”

The old lady looked at Xu with an expressionless face: "If you still know this, you should know what to do." If you don't understand it, then stay in the temple and don't come out. ”

In this capital, it is not that no one's daughter-in-law made a mistake and was imprisoned in the Buddhist hall. The Xu family can still be blessed at this time, and it is really the old lady who gives face.

The old lady didn't want to hear the extra words, and the Xu family couldn't say it, so as soon as the old lady waved her hand, Yao's mother brought the two mothers-in-law over and took the Xu family away with half support and half dragging.

Aunt Wang was a little restless, her face full of worry and overwhelmed: "Old lady, did I say the wrong thing?" Madame she ......"

The old lady didn't speak, and Aunt Wang bit her lip and asked, "Is it really that Madame wants to harm the little master?" ”

"You also have to pay attention to it on weekdays, the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, the little young master is the foundation of your foothold in the Shu family, if there is no little young master, your Wang Yueniang is nothing." The old lady said in a deep voice: "I am relieved of you, so I let you raise the little master personally, if you can't protect the little brother, I will find someone else to protect me." At that time, just for the good of the little brother, you can't stay in the Shu family. ”

Wang Yueniang's face changed, and she knelt down with a puff: "Yes, it was Yueniang who thought badly before, and asked the old lady to forgive her sins, Yueniang will definitely protect the little master in the future, and she will not let the little master be a little bad." ”

"If you know, it's good." The old lady slapped a stick and wanted to give a sweet date: "You can take care of the little brother with peace of mind, take care of it well, and you are afraid that you will not have a good life in the future?" Your mother's brother, I heard that studying is very good? It just so happens that Chengye knows the dean of Castle Peak Academy, and I will ask him to bring your brother over another day to try, if your brother is angry, he can also be a pillar for you. ”

Wang Yueniang's gratitude this time is sincere: "Xiexie old lady, the old lady is gracious, and the concubine is in my heart." ”

"Get up, you're not feeling well at this time, just go in and lie down more." The old lady waved her hand indifferently and took someone away directly. When I returned to Ronghua Garden, I saw Shu Manyao reclining on the soft couch and reading a Buddhist scripture, and when she came in, she smiled and said, "Grandmother, are you back?" I listened in a trance just now, is there something wrong with Aunt Wang, and it has something to do with my mother? ”

The old lady sighed and said the matter again: "I originally thought that she would hang her with the right to be a housekeeper, and she couldn't take care of Aunt Wang for a while, and besides, with Yinling, she couldn't try any tricks, but I didn't expect that Xu's methods could be so good, and this must be inseparable from the lady of the Zuo family!" The woman in the Zuo family is simply a femme fatale, and her hand is too long! ”

"Grandmother, that Mrs. Zuo is really hateful, shall we forget it?" Shu Manyao was also full of resentment, thinking of Mrs. Zuo's face, she couldn't wait to scratch twice, and she didn't know what benefits the Xu family gave her, and she interfered in the affairs of the Shu family again and again. Moreover, the Xu family is also unclear-headed, when such a scandal is made in someone's house, it is necessary for outsiders to participate?

It's normal for an old lady to not even want outsiders to know about rumors, right? The Xu family can't wait to stuff the Shu family's face to Mrs. Zuo's slut, right?

"Naturally, it won't just be left at that!" The old lady slapped it vigorously on the table, and Shu Manyao hurriedly hugged the old lady's hand, rubbing and blowing: "Oh, grandmother, I know you're angry, but you can't use your body to be angry when you're angry, this table is mahogany!" Do your hands hurt? Look, it's all red! ”

The old lady is just angry, and she is not so depressed when she is interrupted by her granddaughter, but she can't help but say this: "That woman's maiden family is from the capital, and the Zuo family is also a famous family in the capital. ”

As he spoke, he rubbed Shu Manyao's hair: "Originally, I didn't want to teach you these things early, as a woman, that is, when I was a girl, I was more comfortable when I was in my mother's house, and I did what I wanted to do." Once you go out, you have to serve your in-laws, and you have to let your sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and you can't neglect your father-in-law. ”

Sighing, the old lady continued: "It's just that now, it seems that it can't be done if you don't say it, I'm always old, and there will always be times when I don't take care of it thoroughly, Xu's was suppressed ruthlessly this time, who knows what tricks will be made next time, you have to be on guard." ”

Shu Manyao hurriedly hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly: "I listen to my grandmother, and my grandmother can rest assured, although my mother is not stupid, she is obsessed and greedy, such a person, as long as she pinches her weakness, she is not unable to deal with it." I just need to keep an eye on it and not fall into her trap. Isn't my grandmother going to teach me? What is my grandmother going to do with this Zuo family? ”

"I heard that Lord Zuo has a brother who is close to him," the old lady sneered: "Many years ago, Lord Zuo's brother had an heir, but he died before and after he was less than half a year old, and he had an heir before and after, and he died before and after he was less than half a year old. Until a few years ago, Lord Zuo left the capital, and Lord Zuo's brother got a son-in-law again, but he survived. After a long time, the Zuo family must not be able to find out anything. ”

"These things, what I am most afraid of is plausible, Mrs. Zuo is not in the capital at this time, if the Zuo family is suspicious of her, when Mrs. Zuo comes back, I am afraid that she will not be able to tell clearly. What good end can a woman who offends everyone in her in-law's family have? ”

The old lady smiled: "This is just the first step, Lord Zuo lives for such a long time, he doesn't even have a concubine, and it's not that there is nothing greasy in this backyard." If she offends her mother-in-law's family and is rejected by her father-in-law, what will happen to the woman? ”

Shu Manyao thought about it and nodded with a smile, she knew this, even if Mrs. Zuo had children, if it was for the sake of the children, she would definitely lurk. The in-laws don't like it, and the princess dislikes it, and the concubines of the Zuo family will definitely take the opportunity to rise. Even if Mrs. Zuo's foundation can't be moved, it will definitely make Mrs. Zuo so busy that she can't take time out to meddle in other people's affairs.

It's just that just a few words made the Zuo family disgusted with Mrs. Zuo, which is not easy to do. Mrs. Zuo has been able to □ in the Zuo family for so many years, not only by virtue of a few clever means, but Mrs. Zuo's maiden family is not an ordinary family.

Shu Manyao asked these questions, but the old lady smiled and did not answer: "These questions, you only listen to me, but you just listen to a story, wait for two days, you go out with me to see." ”

"Okay, I'll definitely study hard." Shu Manyao nodded hurriedly, smiling and clenching her fists, that cute appearance, the old lady couldn't help laughing, it was the sulking at Aunt Wang's place, and it dissipated a little at this time.

"Since the Xu family wants to enter the Buddhist hall to recite scriptures and pray for Manjin and Manyu, she is not suitable to do this housekeeper's business." The old lady said with a smile, pinching Shu Manyao's cheek: "I asked people to get the account book and key back from the Xu family, and after two days, you will be fine, and you will take care of this stall again, but the location of this discussion will be put in Ronghua Garden, and there is a grandmother on it to press you, and you don't have to worry about who gossips." ”

In Ronghua Garden, it is equivalent to an old lady's housekeeper, and Shu Manyao is just an errand runner. Knowing that the old lady was kind, Shu Manzhen was moved, her eyes were slightly red, leaning on the old lady, and coaxing the old lady to be happy with sweet words. After two deaths, Shu Manyao began to take care of the house again. Aunt Wang began to live in seclusion, and on weekdays, except for greeting the old lady, she didn't even go out of the courtyard door. Although she didn't like to go out before, she would at least go out to visit the garden or something, and now she has begun to chant scriptures, three times in the morning, noon and evening, and she is very pious.
