Chapter 16: The Banquet of the Hou Mansion
The eldest lady saw her eldest son sitting and her eldest daughter-in-law standing next to her, looking low, and she hooked the corners of her lips with satisfaction.
If you marry into any family, you must have a daughter-in-law and children in any family.
But the second daughter-in-law is unconvinced, and she still has to do something.
"βgreetings to my mother." He Yan and his wife came over.
The eldest lady stopped fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hand, and she said with a light smile: "Just now I said that Mrs. Jiang did something wrong, and she wants to make amends to Nianbai, come here, bring Mrs. Jiang over." β
Qin Nianbai didn't say a word, but He Yan's face was a little ugly.
The eldest lady guessed that there was a conflict between them, but it was okay to do it this way, and it was convenient for her to do what she had to do next.
Mrs. Jiang was brought up, her face covered with ash and dirt.
The eldest lady sighed: "Originally, Mother Jiang was sent by me, everything is my meaning, how... Is the second daughter-in-law dissatisfied with me? β
Qin Nianbai stood up and blessed his body: "Nianbai doesn't dare, it's just that since Mother Jiang has been punished, she naturally has a reason for being punished, and it will not be for no reason." β
'Bangββ! The eldest lady slapped the table heavily, she picked up the teacup and smashed it at Qin Nianbai
"Get on your knees!"
There was faint anger on her face, but Qin Nianbai knelt down very plainly.
In the next second, He Yan stood up and pulled her up: "Mother has something to ask me, there is no need to be embarrassed at this time, Mrs. Jiang is someone I found someone to punish me, just come at me." β
The eldest lady saw her son protecting his wife so much, and her heart was a little unbalanced.
"You did it, huh! It's not your daughter-in-law who instigated you, Mother Jiang has been by my side for more than ten years, but she watched you grow up, and you can't do that. β
He Yan glanced at Mrs. Jiang who was kneeling on the ground, and remembered what Fang had just said in the carriage.
Nianbai suffered so much because Mrs. Jiang provoked her behind her back.
His previous punishment was light.
He sneered: "If my mother doesn't say it, I still forgot, Nianbai's dowry is also asked by my mother to count and make a book one by one, and carry it back to our yard, it is her thing, my He family is not short of these, as for Mrs. Jiang, this kind of sowing discord in front of the housemother, wolf-hearted, don't have to stay, Hongyao!" dragged her out, beaten her with thirty strokes, and punished her to do rough work in the village in the suburbs. β
Mother Jiang raised her head, a little incredulous, she hurriedly crawled to the eldest lady, crying: "Mother, save me!" I don't want to go to Zhuangzi, the minions are all following your orders."
The eldest lady's face was not good-looking, "What are you doing, are you refuting my face?" β
He Yan sneered: "I am a mother for my own good, but I don't want to make it so difficult for my wife, just ask whose girl is married and pretend to be handed in, let alone take a concubine as soon as she enters the door, the son should not have asked about these things, the mother has done too much, and it is the son who drags it down!" β
The eldest lady's eyes widened, and she pointed at Qin Nianbai: "You can figure it out, I am your mother, she is just a bride who has just married in!" β
The eldest daughter-in-law picked up a handkerchief next to her and covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't worry too much, mother, this is all for the good of the He family, besides, it has spread on the street today, the second lady of the Qin family and the man hugged each other, and the second brother can polish his eyes better." β
"What the eldest sister-in-law said is strange, what my sister did, it was her own creation, and it had nothing to do with others, my sister-in-law said this at this time, did she want her mother-in-law to punish me for the Qin family's affairs, or did she want her husband to blame me for the Qin family's affairs, you kill two birds with one stone, Nian Bai admires."
Qin Nianbai was not to be outdone at all when he stood next to him, and immediately fought back.
When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she didn't know how to continue, she clenched her handkerchief, and suddenly she couldn't speak, she only felt embarrassed.
The eldest son turned his head and glared at her viciously: "Don't talk this nonsense, who will sow discord to!" β
"Me!" She grabbed her veil aggrieved and didn't dare to say more.
