After a while, the second-class maid in the courtyard of the eldest lady, Aoba, came over and called at the door: "Madam." ”

The eldest lady took the teacup in her hand and said loudly, "Come in." ”

Aoba came in and gave a salute, and said, "Madam, Shi Langzhong has come to see it just now, the third young master is not hurt by anything, if he is a little unwell, just take care of it." ”

"yes, I see." The eldest lady said.

Although Aoba hung his head, his eyes only glanced up, and he saw that the eldest lady was sitting there steadily, and she had no intention of going out at all. She bit her lip, torn over whether to open her mouth or not.

"What's wrong?" The eldest lady looked very gentle, "Is there anything else?" ”

Aoba gritted his teeth: "Madam, the eldest young master is still kneeling in the ancestral hall." ”

"Huh?" The eldest lady turned back suspiciously and asked Caidie, "It's not time for half a stick of incense, right?" ”

Caidie became more and more confused, when did the eldest lady say that it was time for the eldest young master to kneel for half a stick of incense?

But she still shook her head cooperatively: "No." ”

The eldest lady looked at Aoba: "Okay, I know, you go out first." ”

"Yes." Aoba breathed a sigh of relief, bowed, and withdrew.

"Go out and tell Caixia to see who Aoba is talking to for a while." The eldest lady's face sank suddenly, and she no longer had the gentleness she had just now, "Send someone to the ancestral hall again to see who has contacted the eldest young master." ”

"Yes." Caidie immediately went out to find Caixia.

Not long after, Caidie came in and said, "It's Aoba's godmother, Mama Wang in the needlework room." ”

"Hmph, the hand is stretched out." The eldest lady sneered.

Although Caidie didn't know why, she didn't dare to ask.

In fact, not only a few of them, but also the eldest lady could see that Aoba liked the eldest young master Zhao Jingli. It is very undesirable to be a maid by the side of the eldest lady, but to have this kind of mind for the young master. As long as the eldest young master is in the main courtyard, the eldest lady will not call the green leaves, and the color butterfly can see that the eldest lady has the intention of replacing the green leaves. It's just that there was no suitable person to replace him for a while, so there was no action.

Aoba also knows this when he wants to, and he has been a man with his tail between his legs for a while, and he doesn't dare to take another step beyond the thunder pool. I don't know what evil happened tonight, and I actually ran to the eldest lady to ask about the punishment of the eldest young master, which is really abnormal.

Thinking of what Caixia told her and what the eldest lady said just now, Caidie could naturally guess that it should be Mama Wang in the needlework room who asked Aoba to ask. It's just that she can't understand why Mama Wang did this, what good is it for herself to harm Aoba's goddaughter?

Aoba is also stupid, whatever Mama Wang tells her to do, she will do whatever she wants, and she doesn't know what she plans for herself.

After thinking about it for a while, Caidie saw that the eldest lady had sat on the soft couch, her eyes half-closed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. When she saw that it was getting dark, she hurried to light the lamp, took a thin blanket, and lightly covered the eldest lady.

Little by little, it was completely dark, and standing in the light of the house, I couldn't see the scene outside the door or window clearly. There was only one room left, and the lights swayed from time to time with the beating of the wick in the evening breeze.

Caidie looked at the drip in the corner of the house, and at this time, half an hour had passed since the eldest young master was punished for kneeling.

If it was in the past, she would definitely remind the eldest lady, but today's behavior of the eldest lady is strange, it is obvious that she is using this matter to test someone, and Caidie does not dare to say anything at all.

"Sister Caixia, I want to see my mother." Zhao Jingtai's voice suddenly sounded outside, "You speak for me." ”

Hearing Zhao Jingtai's voice, the eldest lady's face sank, and she said to Caidie, "Let him in." ”

After a while, Caidie led Zhao Jingtai in.

"Mother, the eldest brother is still kneeling in the ancestral hall. Spare him. Otherwise, let me go and kneel. Today's incident, it's not all to blame on the big brother, I caused it. Zhao Jingtai shouted as soon as he entered the door.

The eldest lady was half-lying on the soft couch and did not speak, only looked at Zhao Jingtai quietly.

Zhao Jingtai was uneasy to look at, and his voice lowered a little: "Mother, I know it's wrong." ”

The eldest lady stared at him and asked, "Who called you to intercede?" ”

"No......" Zhao Jingtai hurriedly shook his head, "Nobody, I came by myself." ”

The eldest lady sat up suddenly, patted the armrest, and shouted, "Say! Who called you here? "It scared Zhao Jingtai and Caidie a lot.

"I, I'm ......" Zhao Jingtai squeaked, and under the forced gaze of his mother, he had to say, "Yes, yes...... It's the second brother. ”

"Hehe......" The eldest lady sneered twice, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Hahahaha......" laughed and laughed, but tears flowed down.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? I was wrong, I'm not naughty anymore. Zhao Jingtai saw his mother crying again, and he knelt in front of the eldest lady with a weak leg in fright, "Mother, I really know it's wrong." ”

"Get up." The eldest lady quickly controlled her emotions, wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, helped Zhao Jingtai up with her own hands, and asked him, "Does the place where you fell still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Zhao Jingtai shook his head.

He didn't climb high, and when he fell, he was caught by everyone and unloaded, and when he fell to the ground, he only fell on his buttocks. He was fat, and his butt was full of flesh, and it hurt a little at the time, but now it doesn't hurt at all.

"Hmm." The eldest lady pointed to the chair next to her, "Then sit with my mother." ”

"Then big brother ......" Zhao Jingtai thought that the eldest brother was still there and kneeling honestly, where could he sit?

"Let him kneel a little longer." The eldest lady said lightly.

She had just thought about it. Later, when I thought about it, maybe it was Zhao Jing'an himself who interceded for Zhao Jingli, not Wei's instructions. After all, Zhao Jing'an and Zhao Jingli have always had a good relationship because they were born on the same day.

Thinking so, she planned to wait a little longer, just waiting for Mama Zhou to come back to see the situation and make a decision.

Zhao Jingtai had to wait in the house restlessly.

After another meal, Mama Zhou hurriedly walked in, and when she saw that Zhao Jingtai was also in the house, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and called with a smile: "Third Young Master." ”

The eldest lady waved her hand to Zhao Jingtai: "Jingtai, you go back and tell your eldest brother, you don't have to kneel, just go back to the house and rest." ”

Zhao Jingtai suddenly became happy, gave his mother a look, and ran away.

"Caidie, you go and see the situation in the ancestral hall." The eldest lady commanded.

Butterfly answered.

There were only two people left in the room, and the eldest lady looked at Mama Zhou.

Although there was no room in the house, Mama Zhou's voice was still very low, so low that only she and the eldest lady could hear it: "The old slave was afraid that the second lady would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to make it too obvious, just let people spread the news to the second room." After passing the news, the old slave was afraid of missing the people who came in and out, so he also stayed on the way in and out of the second room for a long time. But the second room seemed to have rested early, and no one came out to walk around at all. ”
