Chapter 24: Reluctantly

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhen Chutian didn't expect her to come out and admit it, and she was a little annoyed while being moved.

In this way, all the rhetoric she had prepared would be useless.

Zhen Yue snorted coldly and reprimanded: "Nonsense! Since it was the clothes you enjoyed, why did you put them in your sister's back room? You've always been loyal and steady, don't you know that being seen will ruin your sister's reputation?"

Pei'er was speechless when asked.

She opened her mouth, facing Zhen Yuanshan's gradually gloomy face, and couldn't make up any more reasons.

"Enough!"

Zhen Chutian suddenly spoke, and said with red eyes: "Pei'er, don't hide this matter anymore, what's the big deal?" If you explain it like this, it will only get darker and darker, so it's better to tell the truth directly!"

Seeing her look of resignation, Zhen Yue suddenly hooked her lips proudly, waiting to see the next good show.

In the lotus house, there used to be only Pei'er and Begonia to serve, Begonia was sent away, and there was no one to work in the kitchen, so her mother put the two mothers-in-law here as eyeliner.

Her mother really didn't arrange it in vain, and her mother-in-law was faithful to her duties, and she reported to her when she found her clothes today.

No matter how Zhen Chutian explains, this matter can't get over, if Prince An knows, this family matter will be yellow.

Zhen Yuanshan was almost impatient: "I'll give you one last chance, you explain what the hell is going on, otherwise I will send you to a nunnery, and I won't think about it for the rest of my life!"

Even if Zhen Chutian knew that he was saying something in anger, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

She is Zhen Yuanshan's own daughter! Before she found out what mistakes she had made, she would be sent to the nunnery, and it seemed that no matter whether she got the right to be a housekeeper or was praised by the emperor in the palace, as long as she made a mistake, she would be sentenced to death by this so-called father.

"The clothes were bought by my daughter to give to the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, I heard that my father has always had low back pain, and I went to the pharmacy to inquire and learned that the shopkeeper has a unique secret recipe, so I wanted to buy it back to surprise you.

Zhen Chutian sighed pitifully: "Who knew that the shopkeeper not only wanted eight hundred taels of silver, but also a good dress, and my daughter had no choice but to do it, so she used eight hundred taels to get back the prescription first, and the clothes were not yet able to be sent out." ”

"This garment can be bought with silver, why doesn't the shopkeeper just ask you to buy the equivalent of silver yourself?" Zhen Yue narrowed her eyes and asked without hesitation.

She knew that Zhen Chutian would use strong words, and what to change the prescription was simply nothing.

Bottle Tianyi said righteously: "I'm not lying, this dress is indeed asked by the shopkeeper, and the cloud silk and gold thread on the clothes are only sold to the official family and the emperor's relatives, you don't know, he can't buy it with silver." ”

She had overheard last time that the status of an official in Yunguo was higher than that of a businessman, and no matter how rich a businessman was, he was not as worthy as a petty official.

Therefore, the fabrics and silk threads that can be used by the official family are a sign of showing off the support of the official family behind them in the eyes of the rich.

Facing the concubine of the prime minister's family, it is not too much for the pharmacy shopkeeper to take the opportunity to make such a request.

Zhen Yue saw that her father's face was a little relaxed, and hurriedly asked: "Since you keep saying that it is for the prescription, where is the prescription at the moment?" Take it out and take a look!"

She is sure that there is no such prescription, after all, her father has been suffering from low back pain for more than ten years.

In today's light rain, Zhen Yuanshan's waist was aching faintly, and when he heard this, he immediately looked at Zhen Chutian, and there was a trace of expectation in his heart that she would hand over the things.

Zhen Chutian did not hesitate, and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from behind his waist: "My daughter has made the pill according to the prescription, and the shopkeeper said that it is a unique secret recipe, so it won't hurt if you eat it, if the father doesn't believe in his daughter, you can try it." ”

After that, she waved her hand to Pei'er: "Bring the tea." ”

Pei'er was already stunned on the ground, thinking that her young lady didn't want to think about whether it was reasonable to make up nonsense, after all, they didn't have this prescription in their hands.

Hearing Zhen Chutian say this at this moment, even if she was worried and scared, she could only get up and serve tea.

Zhen Yuanshan took the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and swallowed it with the tea, and straightened his waist.

Seeing that he was expressionless and felt the pain with his eyes closed, Zhen Yue hooked his lips with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and he had already expected what would happen next.

The father will definitely be furious and reprimand Zhen Chutian severely.

After all, there is no magic pill in this world, and you can take one pill to cure perennial low back pain.

The main hall fell silent, and everyone held their breath, staring closely at Zhen Yuanshan's reaction.

They all knew that once the pill did not react, Miss Zhen would stay in the nunnery from now on and would not be able to come out.

After a while, Zhen Yuanshan opened his eyes, stared directly at Zhen Chutian, and said in a deep voice, "You come here." ”

Zhen Yue was overjoyed and couldn't wait to see her being solved.

"Can't you? This is obviously my newly developed painkiller, which can completely improve low back pain and rheumatism, how can it be useless?" Zhen Chutian thought in his heart, so he had to move over slowly.

Zhen Yuanshan stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and then showed a gratifying smile: "I, Zhen Yuanshan, can have an obedient and sensible daughter like you, it's really my blessing!"

After hearing this, Zhen Yue's smile disappeared completely.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Zhen Chutian's well-behaved appearance with a smile, and she didn't know what to do.

How so.....

"Daddy has won the award, it is what my daughter should do to share your worries for you, as long as your back pain can get better, whether it is silver or clothes, my daughter is worth it." Zhen Chutian said this softly, and his dedication to diligence was not obvious.

Zhen Yuanshan became more and more happy: "You are really my good daughter, my back pain is better, and I will never be afraid of cloudy and rainy days in the future." ”

"My sister said that the prescription was exchanged for this dress and eight hundred taels of silver." Zhen Yue suddenly spoke, her eyes full of jealousy: "I estimate that I will get three hundred taels of silver if I touch my coat, where did you get this more than one thousand taels?" You won't embezzle the money from the public school, will you?"

When she said this, Pei'er's heart was lifted, and she couldn't help but sweat for her own young lady.

Zhen Yuanshan's smile faded: "Chu Tian, you embezzled Gongzhong?"

"My daughter didn't! The daughter is in charge of the house, and she knows that embezzlement of money from the public is a taboo, how can she be so confused and knowingly commit it?"

Zhen Chutian immediately denied it, looking very anxious: "My daughter repaired the lotus hall before, but she didn't use up the silver, and she subsidized it with her own jewelry, which is barely enough, even if it is not enough, my daughter directly asked you if you would embezzle the silver." ”

Hearing this, Zhen Yuanshan couldn't help but be a little moved: "You have a tight life, and you still want to sell jewelry to prepare a prescription for me, you really have a heart, Xiaoliu?"

Xiao Liu outside the door hurriedly ran in and glanced at Zhen Chutian in awe.

He has never seen anyone who can coax the prime minister so happy, this eldest lady is really different.

Zhen Yuanshan waved his hand at him: "You go to my study and bring the two thousand taels of silver tickets to the eldest lady, this prescription is considered to be bought by myself, and you don't have to pay for it as a junior." ”

Hearing this, Zhen Chutian's eyes lit up with joy, and he almost jumped up excitedly.

She never thought that she would casually lie to resolve the crisis today and unexpectedly get two thousand taels.

"Dad, you gave too much, and the clothes are not worth so much." Zhen Chutian pretended to be embarrassed to shirk, and looked at Zhen Yue provocatively to the side, her face was about to be crooked, and at this moment, she almost didn't mention it in one breath when she looked at her like this.

"It's true that clothes aren't worth that much, but your filial piety is worth it, and it's for your father's reward, so you don't have to shirk it." Zhen Yuanshan waved his hand, not caring at all about taking out the silver.

Not to mention two thousand taels, as long as he can cure his back pain, he can give up even ten thousand taels.

Zhen Chutian bowed and thanked him, and suddenly raised his head and said, "My daughter still has something to say." ”

"Speak."

She turned to Zhen Yue and chuckled, "Father misunderstood that I exchanged songs with men today, and it was that mother-in-law who reported to you, and you said it nonsense, right?"

"I, I really thought my sister did something stupid, I misunderstood you." Zhen Yue pretended to be guilty.

Zhen Chutian nodded, and smiled more and more gently: "It's a good thing that you are worried about me telling my father, after all, there is a misunderstanding and it will be resolved, but you let half of the people in the mansion know about it with great fanfare, in case it spreads outside the mansion, it will not only ruin me, but also the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"I ..... Yes, I did it wrong, and I was too afraid that my sister Hu Lai would ruin this family affair in Prince He'an's mansion, so I didn't think too much about it. Zhen Yue hurriedly apologized and squeezed out two tears.

She didn't expect Zhen Chutian to directly hold herself accountable, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Zhen Chutian took her hand and said softly: "I don't blame you, but I can't figure it out, why didn't the mother-in-law tell her father when she saw the man's clothes, but went to tell you that this mother-in-law wouldn't be arranged by you in the Lotus Pavilion, right?"

"I..."

"Yes, my mother specially sent it here, saying that they are very diligent in cooking, but I don't realize how diligent they are, but they are often lazy when it comes to meals." She interrupted Zhen Yue's words and pretended to say this unintentionally.

Pei'er next to her nodded: "These two mothers-in-law don't speak when they keep an eye on the yard, they often come to the small kitchen two hours late, and many times the slaves and maids go to cook for the young lady to fill their stomachs." ”

She wasn't lying.

These two mothers-in-law are Tang Meihua's eyeliner, and they don't take her young lady in their eyes at all, and they have to throw their faces when they go to the small kitchen to ask for food.

She persuaded the young lady to go back many times, and it was better to send the two mothers-in-law out, but the young lady laughed every time.

Now that she has this opportunity, she will definitely not let it go.

Zhen Yue smiled a little reluctantly: "You guys, you are all talking a little serious, even if the mother-in-law is lazy, they are not ordered to stare at the Lotus Pavilion." ”

"But you can't stay any longer just by stealing and slipping, what about Daddy Jueruo?" Zhen Chutian turned around directly, waiting for Zhen Yuanshan to make a statement.

Zhen Yuanshan got up and said in a deep voice: "Since you are already a housekeeper, it is up to you to decide whether to keep these two mothers-in-law." ”

"Yes, sister, go back too, my father punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall for a month, is the hour full today?" Zhen Chutian looked over with a smile.

Zhen Yue's face turned blue and white, and in the end she had to grit her teeth, endure all the anger and jealousy, and turn around and leave with Cuiping.

Looking at her back, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but snicker twice.

Fortunately, she can take medicine from the system at any time, otherwise they will come to Xingshi to ask for sin, and the matter of clothes will really be unclear.

The Lotus Pavilion set off stormy waves, and the fact that there were men's clothes in the eldest lady's house had not yet spread, and it had already been clarified.

Main Courtyard.

"In the ancestral hall of punishment." Xue Ying replied honestly, knowing that her master was angry, and she was too frightened to act rashly.

Tang Meihua threw the Buddha beads on the ground violently: "What's the matter!" Yue'er has always been smart, how can she not even deal with a stupid woman? Zhen Chutian's cheap hooves were not only unscathed, but she herself was punished into the ancestral hall!"

"Miss Zhen is not a stupid person."

Xue Ying lowered her face with fear: "The slave maid has been paying attention to the lady's movements these days, no matter how she deals with the lotus pavilion, the master and servant always have a way to escape, the slave and maid feel that if the lady does not go out, the second lady will not get any benefits." ”
