"Slave, slave doesn't know." Zhu'er looked at Su Xilan and found that the other party was also in a trance, completely unreliable, and Zhu'er didn't know who to ask for help at this time.

"Zhu'er, the old lady can't allow you to lie in front of you, it's better to tell the truth, you don't know where the silver hairpin on your head came from?"

Mama Qi looked at Zhu'er and sighed in her heart, this child is really not a big mistake, but who let her follow the wrong master.

"Old lady, the slave maid just obeyed the order of the young lady, the slave maid didn't know anything, the young lady only said that Miss Lan wanted to enter the palace and needed to replace the identity of the slave maid, this silver hairpin was given to me by Miss Cousin through Miss, the slave maid really didn't have a bad intention, I just thought that Miss Cousin also wanted to enter the palace, and the slave didn't dare to disobey the master's orders."

Zhu'er was locked up in the material room last night by someone covering her mouth, no one told her why, she was frightened this night, and now she knows that because of Miss Watch's matter, Zhu'er has a feeling that the dust has settled.

"Sister Lan, Sister Yu, is what Zhu'er said true?" Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xilan and Zhao Yu, and the two knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Back to Grandmother, what Pearl said is true." Su Xilan now regrets her death, and she agreed to Zhao Yu's request.

"Sister Yu, did you encourage Sister Lan to take you into the palace because I was resentful of not letting you into the palace?"

Old Madam Qi looked at Zhao Yu, and was not disappointed in her heart, it was fake, I have to say that in the same situation of being punished, Sister Yu is more stable than Sister Lan.

Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xilan very disappointed, although she was not her own granddaughter, but in the end, she was a serious lady of the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't even compare to a small girl, she was really blind to the Hou Mansion's many years of upbringing.

Old Madam Qi regretted that she had paid too little attention to Su Xilan over the years, after all, marrying in the future could be regarded as a help, but now it seems that she has blinded that face.

"Back to grandmother, Yu'er didn't dare, no matter what decision her grandmother made, she was thoughtful, it was Yu'er who was not thoughtful, it was really Yu'er's curiosity about the palace in her heart, thinking that she was just taking up the quota of a maid and had nothing to do, so she asked Cousin Lan for help.

Grandmother, it's all Yu'er's fault, it's Yu'er's vanity, I'm afraid that Yu'er won't be able to intervene when everyone talks about the grand occasion of the Holy Birthday Festival in the school before she acts in private, and asks her grandmother for forgiveness, everything is Yu'er's fault, and it has nothing to do with Cousin Lan, she is all to help Yu'er. ”

"Yes, grandmother, I'm kind." Su Xilan nodded beside her.

Su Xizhu wanted to help her forehead, unlike Zhao Yu's preparedness, Su Xilan just didn't understand the situation at all.

Is grandmother angry that Su Xilan took Zhao Yu into the palace? Of course not all, grandmother was angry that Su Xilan actually dared to disobey her order, it was her grandmother's decision not to take Zhao Yu into the palace, Su Xilan actually ignored her grandmother's order, this is what Mrs. Qi can't bear.

For the ruler of a big family, especially a woman like her grandmother who has no husband and the highest status in the backyard, what she is most worried about is that the children below will disobey her orders and challenge her authority as the supreme ruler of the Hou Mansion.

Of course, Su Xilan definitely didn't have the intention of challenging her grandmother, maybe the second uncle had it before, but now it is estimated that the fire has also been extinguished, but it does not mean that this kind of unconscious behavior grandmother can tolerate it.

As for Zhao Yu, aside from this, maybe her grandmother still has a certain appreciation for her behavior yesterday, after all, a woman in the backyard can't do it without certain means, and although just looking at this matter is a bit of a slap in the face of the grandmother, it didn't cause any bad impact

Sound.

Grandmother used this incident as an introduction today more to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, as for the pearl that could barely be counted as a chicken, Su Xizhu had some sympathy.

"Sister Lan, you said that you just wanted to help Sister Yu, so you will agree to whatever Sister Yu asks you in the future? You're not helping her, you're hurting her.

As for Sister Yu, you also know that you can't make mistakes again, the most important thing in your daughter's family is morality, jealousy, and vanity are all unwanted, I hope you can do it yourself.

The two of you will have to copy "Female Virtue" and "Female Ring" every day after school in the future before you can fall asleep, and the font will not be neatly rewritten. ”

Zhao Yu's heart was calm when she heard this punishment, she had been thinking about how to deal with it in case her grandmother was in trouble last night, and she had thought about it for a long time yesterday, so she could deal with it perfectly. It's just a bit of hard work to copy books, and it's okay, just practice calligraphy.

Zhao Yu thought very well, but Su Xilan didn't think so, she felt that she had been wronged to death, why was she still punished for helping people kindly? Although Su Xilan had a stomach full of dissatisfaction, she didn't dare to refute it in the end, and it should be the same as Zhao Yu.

Zhu'er looked at Mrs. Qi's punishment of Miss and Miss Biao, and her heart was calm, thinking that she was only a monthly punishment of a few months, who knew that the above words made her like five thunderbolts.

"Zhu'er was sold, and their family went to Zhuangzi." Zhu'er looked at Old Madam Qi in disbelief, not understanding why she was punished so heavily.

"Old lady, old lady spare her life, the slave is wrong, but the slave and the slave are not guilty to death."

"Hmph, you don't sin unto death? You have made a big mistake and you don't know it. Mama Qi knew that Old Madam Qi didn't bother to talk to Zhu'er, so she took her to speak.

"Hmph, what did the master do wrong, you slaves and maids knew about it, didn't report it, and actually helped to hide it? Do you still think you're right? Are you faithful to the Lord? Can you help hide this today, and if Miss wants to elope with someone tomorrow, will you also help? ”

Mama Qi's words made the faces of Zhou and Su Xilan change at the same time, how could such words that hinder their reputation come from the mouth of an old servant?

It's just that Mama Qi is not an imprudent person, and many times what she means represents the meaning of Mrs. Qi, so Zhou quickly thought of what her daughter did yesterday, and knew that this was the old lady taking this opportunity to beat, after all, yesterday's things were not easy to break down and talk about it in detail, and she didn't refute it for a while.

As for Su Xilan, she was completely angry and weak-hearted, angry because the old Diao slave slandered her, and weak because she was really careful last night, although she didn't succeed.

"The slave and maid don't dare, ask the old lady to be kind, miss, madam, save the slave and maid, the slave and the maid are really not so bold."

Zhu'er kowtowed again and again, how could she use that kind of guts, but now no one wants to listen to her, Mama Qi motioned for someone to take her Zhu'er down.

Su Xizhu watched Zhu'er being taken away with her mouth covered and instructed Ruyi a few words, Ruyi nodded and left quietly, and the old lady Qi above raised her eyelids slightly and did not move.

When Ruyi arrived at the gate, the grandmother in the inner courtyard asked with a smile: "Miss Ruyi is not serving inside, why did the third lady come here?" ”

Zhu'er saw a glimmer of light flash in Ruyi's eyes, thinking that the old lady had decided to let her go, and soon she knew that she was thinking badly, which was impossible.

"Mama, these are some of Zhu'er's personal belongings." Ruyi handed over a small baggage.

"This?" The old mama has

hesitated, but the third lady couldn't help but give face.

"Mama rest assured, the old lady only let people sell Zhu'er, but she didn't say that she was not allowed to take her own things." Ruyi handed over a purse.

"Yes, Zhu'er, this is the kindness of the house, don't thank you old lady, thank you third lady." Mama touched the heavy purse and sighed in her heart.

Zhu'er is the eldest girl of the second lady in the second room, she didn't say anything at all, but she didn't expect it to be the third lady who usually doesn't deal with the second miss to help, and sure enough, the serious concubine is different.

Zhu'er also knew that it should have been arranged privately by the third lady, so she sincerely kowtowed three times in the direction where Su Xizhu was.

"Mama, our young lady said, the Hou Mansion is a loyal heirloom, and you can't be too indifferent to slaves and maids, although Zhu'er should be punished for making mistakes, but please also bother Mama, find a reliable person, don't let outsiders have a chance to talk."

This is what Su Xizhu cares about the most, Zhu'er is good looking at every age, in case she meets that black-hearted person, her teeth will be sold to the Qinglou for the rest of her life.

The old lady understood what Ruyi meant, she could do this, so she repeatedly assured that Zhu'er was already in tears at this time.

"Ruyi, help me thank Miss Three, I will pray for Miss Three's health, peace and joy every day in the future.

Ruyi, I really envy you, it would be nice if I was also assigned to the third lady back then. Zhu'er left this sentence and was taken away.

Ruyi looked at Zhu'er a little rabbit dead fox sad, they are all slaves, the master makes mistakes and the slave is responsible, she is lucky, she meets a good master, Zhu'er will not have this good life, hey.

On the other side, Su Xilan thought that her grandmother would be fine after she sold Zhu'er, anyway, her grandmother also punished them, and she should let them go back.

"Someone will be punished for yesterday's events, and someone will be rewarded." Old Madam Qi looked at Su Xizhu.

"Sister Zhu handled yesterday's incident very well, I should be rewarded, I heard that you still spent a lot of money, Mama Qi, I will give Sister Zhu the set of pearl heads in my treasury in a while, and I am giving her a hundred taels of silver, Jiang's teaching children is meritorious, and there is also a reward, and I will give you the ruby hairpin."

"Thank you, Mother (Grandmother)." Jiang and Su Xizhu received the reward generously.

Su Xilan didn't know that it was Su Xizhu who helped her deal with the aftermath yesterday, thinking that it was Mrs. Qi's partiality, so she wanted to give Su Xizhu a small storeroom for abundance. Su Xilan thought about it like this, and her face was dissatisfied.

"Sister Lan is very unconvinced?" Old Madam Qi raised her eyebrows, looking at Zhou's gaze was very unkind, how could a concubine of the imperial history not even teach a child well, stupid is not terrible, what I am most afraid of is that stupid people are smart.

"Sister Lan doesn't dare."

"I don't dare, but I don't know." Old Madam Qi snorted coldly.

"Your words and deeds yesterday were inappropriate, and you didn't have the demeanor that a noble lady of the Hou Mansion should have, and you also caused your eldest aunt to apologize for you, do you admit it."

"It's not good for granddaughters." Su Xilan also regretted it a little, but Old Madam Qi didn't care about Su Xilan and continued to scold.

"You disappeared innocently for an hour yesterday, if it weren't for Sister Zhu helping you round the field and helping you clean up the aftermath, do you think you would still be standing here today? People in Manshengjing will know that our young lady from the Hou Mansion of Annan wants to come to meet unexpectedly.

That little palace maid has a handle like you in her hand, you don't want to appease you, but you are still there with the prestige of an official lady? Look at the things you do yourself, where do you look like an official lady? ”
