Chapter XXII
Mei Xiang received Yao Ruoshui's cold gaze, knelt down tremblingly, and asked in a cool voice from Yao Ruoshui above her head, "Have you seen it clearly?" ”
Mei Xiang's brain was very confused, her eyes were red, and she was just about to speak, but she was interrupted, "Mother, don't you believe your daughter's words?" The third sister herself said that she couldn't remember clearly, maybe she was dazzled, could it be that her daughter was also to blame? ”
Su Liluo was crying, Yao Ruoshui was angry, pointed at her and asked, "Su Liluo, you want to threaten this maid, she is obviously about to speak, why did you interrupt?" ”
Old Madam Su sat quietly on the side, watching the farce in the house, Su Shan'er saw that the fire was pulling on her again, and hurriedly took a few steps back, only hoping that she could leave Yao Ruoshui's sight, she didn't want to be implicated.
"Mother, what do you mean by that? I never thought about hiding anything, my mother herself misunderstood, the third sister is obviously sick, and it has become my sin to save people, is there any reason in this world? Su Liluo pinched the corner of the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes from time to time, as if her tears didn't want money, she was glad that Liuying was treated with good chili water early, this thing is very powerful.
Yao Ruoshui didn't want to argue with Su Liluo, and looked at Mei Xiang again, "Liluo, now I want to listen to this maid, don't intervene again, otherwise don't blame your mother for misunderstanding, you say, have you seen it clearly?" ”
Mei Xiang shook her body and shook her head desperately, "The slave didn't see clearly, she didn't see anything clearly." "What else does she not understand, she can only learn from her own young lady to protect herself, otherwise she is afraid that her small life will not be guaranteed.
Yao Ruoshui opened her mouth and wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Mrs. Su coughing a few times, "Okay, don't ask, she won't know if she asks again, it's in vain." Mama Hua next to her handed over a cup of tea, and Mrs. Su took two sips, only to feel that her throat and eyes were a little more comfortable.
"Madam, the old lady is right, this is a family scandal after all, Madame is so aggressive, those people outside who don't know the truth may not be arranged, it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible." Mama Hua is the right-hand man in front of Mrs. Su, and Yao Ruoshui also has to give three points of thin noodles.
Yao Ruoshui looked at Mei Xiang resentfully, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted, and her face was gloomy, this maid really didn't know how to lift, just like that concubine.
Su Baizhi saw that Su Shan'er and the maid didn't admit it, she panicked, and accidentally sat on the ground, and when she saw Mrs. Su coming over, she immediately knelt straight, "Grandmother, granddaughter has wronged ......"
"Grandmother, my granddaughter has not been rewarded for her good deeds this time, and she will not dare to get involved in these things in the future, and ask her grandmother to punish her." Su Liluo was not to be outdone, knelt on the ground and knocked her head a few times, and Mrs. Su was a little moved in her heart.
"Hurry up, you saved your third sister, how could grandmother punish you, you're tired after kneeling for so long, let the maid help you up." Hearing this, Liuzhu immediately took a few steps forward to Su Liluo's side, Su Liluo stood up with the force of her hand, her legs were a little weak for a while, and she almost knelt on the ground again, and finally got better after standing for a while.
Old Madam Su wore a purple forehead on her head, which made her momentum more majestic, although Su Baizhi was favored by the house, she was also a little scared when she saw Old Madam Su's angry appearance, and before she could figure it out, she saw the quiet voice of Old Madam Su above her head ringing in her ears, "Zhi'er didn't figure out the reason for the matter today, she broke into her sister's yard at will, grounded, when I said I can come out to lift the ban." ”
Su Baizhi let go of the worries in her heart, crossed her hands, stroked her head at the overlap of her hands, and bent down to the ground, "Zhi'er understands, she must stay in the yard." ”
Su Liluo pursed his lips and lowered his head, afraid that the dissatisfied expression on his face would let Mrs. Su see that this punishment was really "heavy".
"Okay, get up, go back and study the embroidery work, although many things are handled by the palace, but you always have to embroider a few personal objects for the prince." When Mrs. Su talked about Su Baizhi's marriage, her eyes also had joy, and she couldn't really punish Su Baizhi, Yao Ruoshui had a sentence that said in Mrs. Su's heart, after all, Su Baizhi had a relationship with the prince.
Su Baizhi's face slowly turned red when she heard Mrs. Su's quip, and said shyly: "Thank you grandmother, Zhi'er understands, she must prepare for the prince when she goes back, and Zhi'er also wants to embroider more things for her grandmother before she gets married, but her granddaughter is careful, and grandmother must not refuse." ”
"Naturally not, Zhi'er has a heart, what's the matter with you maid, don't you help your master up quickly." Jin Ling confessed and immediately helped Su Baizhi up, Su Baizhi knelt for too long, her face was a little pale, and she just wanted to walk to Yao Ruoshui's side, her legs trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.
Shocked, Yao Ruoshui hurriedly took two steps to help her, looked at the lack of blood on her daughter's lips, and said distressedly: "You kid, I don't know that I am not in good health, and I blame you for being too kind-hearted and taking this responsibility in vain." ”
Yao Ruoshui was whitewashing Su Baizhi both inside and outside the words, Su Liluo just sneered when she heard this, Su Shan'er also had grievances in her stomach, and hurriedly defended herself, "What did mother say, I made everything clear to my second sister at that time, and she pulled me to run to Su Liluo's yard by herself, how can this be blamed on me." ”
Susan'er's words were full of complaints, thinking that she had been hurt inexplicably, and now Yao Ruoshui wanted to push the matter on her head, Susan'er was unconvinced, her face was full of dissatisfaction, she couldn't bear it, and she quarreled with Yao Ruoshui.
Yao Ruoshui pointed at her and said, "Okay, now a concubine dares to ride on my head, old lady, what does it mean for me to be the prime minister's wife?" Yao Ruoshui covered his eyes with a dark red handkerchief, embroidered with a peony, and cried intermittently.
Seeing that Su Shan'er was covered with thorns all over her body, Mrs. Su was not convinced, so she asked Mama Hua to kneel down under her, and said the punishment for Su Shan'er, "Sushan'er, your second sister did such a thing because of you, you should be punished more severely than her, from today onwards, I will think about it behind closed doors and copy the house rules a hundred times." ”
When Su Shan'er heard this punishment, she didn't sigh, her face was full of joy, she glanced at Su Liluo proudly, and kowtowed to Mrs. Su respectfully, "Shan'er obeys." ”
Su Liluo was a little surprised to see her happy appearance, and her eyes rolled twice, why was this Susan'er so happy?
Mrs. Su was also a little tired after such an incident, so she only told them a few words, and was helped back to her yard by Mama Hua.
Yao Ruoshui took Su Baizhi and Su Shan'er to leave, Su Baizhi crossed the threshold, turned her head and glanced at Su Liluo, Su Liluo only looked at her with a smile, and Su Baizhi also smiled at her, "Zhi'er, what are you doing?" Go back with your mother. ”
"Mother, don't worry, Zhi'er will come." Su Baizhi's delicate and soft voice was getting farther and farther away from Su Liluo.
