"Yes. Don't worry, mother. ”

Zhao Jingli thinks he is an adult. When his father was not at home, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of maintaining the peace of the Hou Mansion.

A few stout mothers-in-law pulled Li Mu's daughter-in-law and Qingliu directly, went directly out of the courtyard, and went straight to the inner courtyard. There were a few more sturdy nursing homes, and Li Mu was picked up and sent to the firewood room in the outer courtyard.

The execution of subordinates in the government not only punishes those who make mistakes, but also serves as an example to the chickens and monkeys. But there is a difference between men and women, and there are things that are offensive to morals, so the eldest lady naturally does not do it.

Therefore, when a woman is executed in the inner court, all the maids and women in the inner court should come and watch; The men were executed in the outer courtyard, and the male servants and servants in the house also had to watch.

Wei followed him into the inner courtyard, and waited for the eldest lady to finish beating people and immediately ask someone to take them out of the Hou Mansion. But seeing that the eldest lady did not hit the board immediately, but ordered her subordinates to lock the Aoyagi lady and her son in the firewood room, she was anxious all of a sudden.

She grabbed the eldest lady's arm and said excitedly, "Why don't you hit the board immediately?" Why do you want to close the firewood house? You hurry up and fight, and after beating people, I'll let people take them out of the house. ”

The eldest lady turned her face to look at her and did not speak.

Seeing that the mother-in-law who was pulling Li Mu's daughter-in-law and Qingliu and the other maids and daughters-in-law who came over looked at her with strange eyes, Wei couldn't help but be inexplicable: "What's wrong?" ”

The eldest lady glanced around the crowd, pointed to one of the mothers-in-law and said, "Lin Song's family, you tell the second lady." ”

This mother-in-law of the Lin Song family is the companion of the third lady Su.

The Wei family has a bad temper and does not dare to deal with the old lady and the eldest lady, but the Su family, who is a merchant, will not control his temper. If anything didn't go well, she was angry at Su; I usually meet, and I have to stab Su Shi a few words if I have anything to do.

Su Shi actually has the means, but he likes to pretend to be weak. was bullied by the Wei family, she never hid it, she always cried all the way back, so that everyone in the house knew that the second lady was bullying the third lady again. Not only Zhao Yuankun was dissatisfied with this second sister-in-law, but Su's companions were even more disgusted with Wei.

It's rare to see the Wei family deflated at this time, and Mrs. Lin is happy in her heart.

She immediately said: "The second lady has also been in the mansion for more than ten years, right?" Why don't you know the rules of the Hou Mansion? Because everyone had to watch the execution, when it was too late for everyone to go to bed, they all locked people in the firewood room and waited for the execution at noon the next day. Now that it's the beginning of the new year, some people have to get up early tomorrow to do things, and they have already gone to bed. At this time, who will be executed? You can't really see it, right? ”

Wei's expression froze, and he also remembered this stubble.

The eldest lady is very strict in governing the family and has always focused on prevention.

She and the old lady are both kind-hearted and don't want to see the bloody scene of being beaten; And they feel that people who make mistakes like this can't get better by beating them. Therefore, the subordinates who have a slight misconduct are sold directly, and rarely use the trick of beating with a cane.

In addition, the cane is to take off the pants and beat naked, which is an extreme insult to the woman. Even if it is a woman who watches, it is a very shameful thing. Some maids who care about this can kill themselves in shame because of this.

Therefore, for the maid or mother-in-law, the eldest lady basically uses other methods to punish. Only a maid who steals a man's adultery will be punished with a rod.

In the past ten years since Wei married in, there have only been three or four cases of being beaten with a cane, and most of them are male servants in the outer courtyard. Because he is not the subordinate of his second room, it is not a matter of concern, so Wei really didn't pay much attention to this matter.

"Li Zhang and Qingliu are my companions, not the subordinates of the Hou Mansion. Since you said that they must be punished according to the rules of the Hou Mansion, I don't say anything. But the rod shall not be delayed until to-morrow, but shall be finished now, that I may have them brought out and sold." Wei said.

She didn't dare to put the family in the hands of the eldest lady for the night. If they're bribed to say something, that's bad.

Wei is not afraid of being told about changing children. The people who knew about it back then had already died and fled. Not only Li Mu's family didn't know about the child, but even Mama Li didn't know about it.

Although Mama Li was Wei's companion, she was not reused at that time, but did some chores. Later, Wei's nurse and the grandmother around her left the Hou Mansion because of this incident, and Mama Li was brought to Wei's side and became a housekeeper.

Wei will never put someone who knows the inside story by his side, it is no less than a time bomb, which will blow her to pieces at any time.

But over the years, she has let Mama Li's family secretly do a lot of unsightly things; During this time, because of Xu Xi, she sometimes couldn't control her emotions, and said some specious things in front of Mama Li, and she didn't know if she was hiding it.

In short, no matter what aspect it is, the Wei family can't let Li Mu's family fall into the hands of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's behavior tonight is so abnormal, Wei has a ghost in his heart, and he can't help but think about it.

"It's true that they are your companions, but now they are not in the Wei Mansion, but in the Suiping Hou Mansion."

The eldest lady said, looking at Wei with a smile: "I'm afraid the second brother and sister don't know, right?" This girl ......," she pointed to Aoyagi, "her heartfelt affection is not for the second young master, but for the eldest young master." ”

"What?"

Not only the Wei clan and the other subordinates, but also the ashen Qingliu were startled.

"Aoyagi, this girl, is dressed up all day long and dangles in front of Brother Li'er, and from time to time she embroiders a handkerchief for him and sends him some soup. The prince's servant has reported this to me more than once. I'm afraid of your face, second brother and sister, and I've heard you say before that you want to leave Aoyagi to the second young master to make a room, so I have been holding back. A few days ago, I found out that Shizi read that kind of script, and I was worried that he couldn't stand the temptation of Aoyagi, so he had a wall with the second young master's brother, so I wanted to choose a room for Shizi. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened today. ”

The eldest lady said, looked at Aoyagi, and asked coldly: "Aoyagi, you tell me honestly, what do you want to climb today, is it the bed of the prince or the bed of the second young master?" ”

Where did Aoyagi dare to say that it was the eldest young master who wanted to climb? Now her family is all pointing to the second lady to save her life.

She cried, "Big lady, I haven't climbed anyone's bed, and I haven't seduced anyone. Some time ago, the eldest young master praised me for embroidering a handkerchief, and I embroidered one for him. I'm just a maid, no matter what the master tells me to do, naturally I can't refuse the eldest young master, so I embroidered a veil for him. I don't believe you can ask the eldest young master. Today I was drunk, and somehow I went out of the second door, walked to the second young master's bedroom, and made a big mistake. I really didn't mean to. ”

The rough envoy mother-in-law who helped Qingliu dress in Zhao Jing'an's courtyard was not from the second room, but was sent by the eldest lady, and she came with her as a witness at this time.

She heard Aoyagi's words, and immediately took a sip of her: "Heh, you got drunk and went to the wrong room, and you took off yourself and lay on the bed, and when you saw the second young master enter the room, you rushed over, who are you fooling?" ”
