345: Affection is not unjust
The people of the entire Jinyuan know that although Ruyi is a little dull, he is straightforward and will not turn around many times. But she is very loyal to her wife, and she is the top of her heart, and now Aunt Luo lets her beat her, which is nothing more than slapping her in the face.
Everyone turned their attention to Nalan Jinxiu. thought that she would definitely reprimand Aunt Luo and definitely protect Ruyi, but she didn't say anything. Her silence seemed to be a kind of acquiescence, and just when everyone thought she was going to agree, she opened her mouth and made a very shocking sentence, she said, "Aunt Luo, are you three and a half years old?"
Aunt Luo was confused by her words, and she didn't know how to answer it. Then I heard her say again: "You said that you used torture against Ruyi, and used this to determine whether I had an affair with Liangshan." Yes and no?"
Aunt Luo didn't think there was anything wrong with what she just said, so she replied: "Yes." "Does this have anything to do with whether she is three and a half years old?
"Ruyi said that if he couldn't stand the punishment, it would mean that I had an adulterous relationship with Liangshan?"
Everyone present just fell into Aunt Luo's thoughts, because this is also the idea of most people. However, as soon as Nalan Jinxiu finished saying these words, everyone sobered up, and this matter has not been Ruyi at all, so her attitude does not represent anything.
The third lady said that Aunt Luo was three and a half years old, but she was actually ridiculing her for her low IQ. Everyone is now playing the role of the melon-eating masses, and the only gain is that the third lady used to be protected by the third master, and everyone agreed that she was less and more important. Now I can see that although people are young, they are definitely not easy to bully.
Ruyi just felt sad because his wife didn't protect him, but now he is happy. Holding Nalan Jinxiu's arm with both hands, his eyes smiled into a slit, and his tone was even more proud: "Sure enough, Mrs. is still smart, and she is much better at thinking about problems than stupid people." ”
Aunt Luo's expression became ugly, because she had just been slapped, her face was red and swollen, and she couldn't tell if she was really panicked. She looked at Ruyi fiercely with a pair of apricot eyes, and gritted her teeth: "Even if I make a mistake, I am still the master, so you have to talk nonsense there!"
"You are the master, I am the slave, it would be best if you could recognize it clearly. ”
Aunt Luo kowtowed to Mrs. Ji and said, "The old lady once said that the master will always be the master, and those who are slaves and maids must keep their duties." That girl just made a sarcastic remark to me, and asked the old lady to punish her. ”
Mrs. Ji has lived for so long, and she has been in charge of the inner house, and she has seen all kinds of people. So as soon as Aunt Luo entered the house, the old lady saw that she was a trouble-loving character, but fortunately, her head was not smart enough. She doesn't have Aunt Qin's calmness, let alone Aunt Su's eight-sided exquisiteness, the only advantage is that she looks good. Such a person, even if she stays, it will be fine, because she can't give birth to anything big.
"You said that girl offended you, but she didn't know how to be humble. Then have you ever thought that as a concubine, you offended the wife that Ye'er Ming Media was marrying, did you commit the following crimes?" Mrs. Ji was sitting in a precarious position, which was a kind of nobility that people did not dare to offend.
"I ......" Aunt Luo was speechless for a while, and she finally realized one thing, that is, she couldn't speak again at this time, otherwise she must be the one who suffers.
Mrs. Ji looked at the other women who came with Aunt Luo, one of them was Ji Yao's concubine a few years ago, and the others were at best a girl in the room. The old lady knows that if a family wants to prosper, it must achieve prosperity for its descendants, and only when the branches are scattered and the people are prosperous, can the family have successors and prosper.
But she doesn't approve of having too many women in the backyard, and the so-called extremes must be opposed. And now there are too many women in Ji Yao, she knows no less than thirty, and there are many things that she doesn't know. Ji Yao himself is a runner from all over the world, and there are not a few outer rooms raised outside, it's time to regulate them.
The old lady stood up, looked at the women in front of her, and said sharply: "What Aunt Luo did today, you all see it in your eyes, I wonder if anyone wants to follow suit in the future?"
"How dare you? No. ”
"Yes, old lady, we would never dare. ”
Everyone was gossiping, and no one remembered that before they came with Aunt Luo just now, they promised her that they would not be afraid when they arrived in Jinyuan, and they would definitely make the ugly things done by the third lady public.
"If you really don't dare, why do you come with Aunt Luo? I see that none of you can keep to yourself. Mrs. Ji obviously became more and more angry the more she talked, she pointed to everyone and said to Mama Guo beside her: "Let people record them all, and all those who are concubines will be demoted to girls in the room, and all girls in the room will rush outside the courtyard to do rough work." ”
When they heard this, they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. said that he was bewitched by Aunt Luo, and said that he came to the adventure today for the sake of the tranquility of Jifu. Anyway, all the mistakes were made by Aunt Luo, and they were just poor people who were used at best.
"When Aunt Luo instigated you to make trouble, what benefits did she give you?"
"No, no!"
"If anyone could tell me the truth now, I wouldn't punish her today, just one person. Mrs. Ji sat back in her chair again, still looking graceful and luxurious.
The kneeling crowd scrambled to tell the truth. Everyone wants to get this place, and no one wants to be punished so severely. So what Aunt Luo said was poured out by everyone.
"You hear me, they say, you promise that if you bring the scandalous things done by the Third Lady to me, the stewardship will fall into your hands. You have to add a hundred taels of money to them every month, and you have to pick people from them to do the things everywhere, and the benefits are endless. Can you admit that?"
Aunt Luo didn't expect these people to be so frightened, and the old lady said a few words at will, and she scared them into saying everything. No matter how stupid she is, she knows that she can't admit it now, otherwise the old lady will definitely kick her out.
She knelt on the ground and said pitifully while crying: "Many of them said that they had witnessed the third lady's affair, but they didn't dare to say it, so they asked me to be their leader." Now I'm afraid of being punished, and I'm putting all the blame on me. Old lady, if you believe me, even if you give me ten guts, I don't dare to covet the right to manage the backyard. ”
Nalan Jinxiu looked at their ugly faces from the sidelines, and was extremely bored. Fortunately, these women are not the third brother's, otherwise she would definitely be forced to collapse. But she thought about it and laughed again, so that the third brother would not be so abusive.
Up to now, she had never seen a man with so many women, and her father-in-law was really not a mortal. I wonder if he regrets seeing this scene now?
Thinking like this, she turned her gaze to Gu Yao, whose expression was very calm and his eyes were sarcastic, as if all this was expected by him. He didn't seem to feel that the women in front of him were lowering his style, embarrassing him, he was like an outsider, watching other people's jokes as a bystander.
Nalan Jinxiu seems to have gradually understood why the third brother, who is gentle and polite, never wants to be close to his father, because their father and son are completely different people. The third brother will not show mercy everywhere, and he will not be interested in watching jokes when his wife has an accident.
Maybe her eyes were too straightforward, Ji Yao looked up at her, his eyes met, and the sarcasm in his eyes subsided a little. Although he is a merciful person, he is definitely not unjust. None of these people who committed crimes today have treated him sincerely, they only value his money, but the current status of Ji Fu. That being the case, why should he bother to clean up the aftermath of the foolish things they did!
As for his daughter-in-law, he doesn't like it, but after all, she is the wife of his eldest son, and what she is pregnant with in her belly is the most orthodox blood of their Ji family. In this aspect alone, he had to do his best to protect her.
The old lady Ji here also glanced at Ji Yao, and when she saw that he looked indifferent, she knew it in her heart. She straightened her face and said: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules." If you have made a mistake today, you must be punished accordingly. As I have just said, all of them are demoted, but no one who is sent out to do rough work will be allowed to come to the inner court in the future. ”
If you don't get close to the inner courtyard, how can you get close to the master? If you don't get close to the master, how can you enjoy the glory and wealth? In this way, not only will you lose the glory and wealth, but your life will become much harder. There is a lot of work to do, and the monthly money is less, what do they do?
As a result, the scene was full of mourning.
Ji Yao got tired of listening to it, and he got up to leave. To put it bluntly, what does the whereabouts of these individuals have to do with him? It stands to reason that he wants to show mercy to Aunt Luo, after all, he is the person he really favors, but the mud can't support the wall!
"Jin'er, do you think there's anything wrong with me treating them like this?" Old Lady Ji looked at Nalan Jinxiu, her eyes calm and indifferent.
Nalan Jinxiu felt that her grandmother's eyes were very wrong, but she didn't think about it deeply, so she only bowed her head and responded: "No." ”
Mrs. Ji nodded and glanced at Mama Guo. Mama Guo understood, and asked people to register those who came with Aunt Luo, and prepared to deal with them according to what the old lady just said.
Nalan Jinxiu saw that it was almost done, so she went back to rest. What she didn't know was that it wasn't over, it was just the beginning......
