Chapter Twenty-Eight: Reversing Right and Wrong
In the Zhaohe Courtyard, Bai Yueyu was crying and kneeling on the ground with an embarrassed face, and Bai Zonglin's face was so ugly that he could drip water. He slammed the table and said coldly, "What about Madame and Second Miss!" Haven't come back yet? ”
A subordinate stepped forward tremblingly and replied, "Back to the master, Mrs. and Miss have not come back since they went out in the afternoon." ”
Aunt Zhao came in with a stomach, trembling and about to kneel, Bai Zonglin waved his hand impatiently and said, "You get up first, since your body is already so heavy, why did you come here if you don't take care of it in the room?" ”
Aunt Zhao pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and subconsciously stroked the bulging lower abdomen with one hand, and said sadly: "The concubine knows that she has caused trouble for the master, and she doesn't dare not come to ask for guilt." ”
Saying that, she turned her head to look at the embarrassed Bai Yueyu, but said fiercely: "But Yu'er, what is wrong with her, she wants to be beaten like this by her wife, if she damages her appearance, how will she marry in the future." ”
Bai Zonglin was originally angry, but he was angry and Bai Yueyu turned a blind eye to her embarrassed appearance, and now Aunt Zhao had to say: "You go down first to apply some medicinal powder, and this matter will be discussed when Mrs. and Yan'er come back." ”
Bai Yueyu took a few steps forward suddenly, kowtowed a few times to Bai Zonglin, and said with a bit of madness in her eyes: "Daddy, it was my sister who repented of her marriage in public, and now that the matter has come to this, my aunt still promised to let her daughter marry her cousin, and asked her father to see the glory of the family, and let her daughter marry her cousin as a wife for the sake of her daughter's infatuation!" ”
Bai Zonglin was stunned by her for a moment and couldn't speak, but a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "For the glory of the family? You are a concubine who is delusional and wants to marry a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, if the Song family really marries you back to repay the favor, then the reputation of our Bai family is completely stinky! ”
Bai Zonglin got up and greeted Zhou, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Zhou didn't look at him, he still stared at Bai Yueyu and sneered: "What a piece of infatuation, at the beginning, you said that you were obsessed with Lin Juren and wanted to be fulfilled, and our Bai family wanted to marry you off, but we didn't think that Lin Juren was a short-lived ghost." Lin Juren's bones are not cold now, and you are infatuated with others again, which shows that your infatuation is worth nothing. ”
Bai Yueyu didn't forget that last time her grandmother Zhou sent her to Zhuangzi to fend for herself, if it weren't for the fact that Xiaoniang happened to be pregnant, I was afraid that she would really be unable to escape. Now that she has exposed her thoughts, she is really shocked and ashamed, curled up in a ball and does not dare to speak again.
Aunt Zhao saw a flash of resentment in Zhou's eyes, but she was also silent and didn't dare to speak again. Seeing that one of them were all settled, Zhou turned his head to Bai Zonglin and suddenly shouted, "You rebel, kneel down for me!" ”
Bai Zonglin was stunned for a moment, but when he saw his mother speaking so fiercely, he remembered that his mother was still a little concubine in the past, and she was humble in this Bai Mansion but tried her best to protect herself, but she had always been strict with him, and the myth was that he was disgusted by his father if he was not successful.
Bai Zonglin's heart was sour, and he knelt down without saying a word.
Zhou closed his eyes and said coldly: "You have been smart and clever since you were a child, and this marriage with the Song family is also a wise move, yes, even if someone blows the wind in your ears and wants to stuff the girl into it, my mother has never stepped forward to stop it, because I think you know how to do it." But now it seems that you have disappointed me too much. ”
Things have become the situation they are now, although Bai Zonglin was angry at the reckless behavior of the Qi family and Bai Yanran in his heart, but he also knew in his heart that he had not handled it properly at this time, so that the matter became the current situation, and he was scolded by the Zhou family for being depressed.
Zhou glanced at Aunt Zhao with a big belly in the distance, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then said to Bai Zonglin: "The matter has come to this, you should make a decision, you can't become an enemy with the Song family's in-laws, do you know what to do, right?" ”
Bai Zonglin naturally understood what his mother meant, but gritted his teeth and said: "But Yan'er has already repented of her marriage in public, and the Qi family has made a big fuss in the Song family again, and now it ......"
Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Why did Yan'er regret her marriage in public? Why did the Qi family make trouble for the Song family? It's not all good things you do! Now that things have come to this, it is impossible for the two daughters to marry together, and you can only give up one of them. Abandon the car to protect the handsome, you won't understand such a simple truth, right? ”
Bai Yueyu heard the meaning of Zhou's words, her heart was terrified, and she couldn't care about being afraid, so she rushed over and knelt at Zhou's feet and begged: "Grandmother, grandmother, you can't treat me like this, my cousin and I are sincere, if you don't let me marry, you will let me die, then I, I can only die!" ”
As she spoke, she was about to hit the pillar on the side, but she was looking at Aunt Zhao out of the corner of her eye, and Aunt Zhao hurriedly pushed Mother Gu up to stop her.
"Miss, Miss must not be like this! You are the eldest lady of the Bai family, the heart of the master and aunt, if you really spread the word to others and you were forced to die, how can this be good! ”
This ancient mother is worthy of being Aunt Zhao's confidant, and she has been by Aunt Zhao's side for many years and has learned ten out of ten by the master's insinuations, Bai Zonglin, who said something, had to stop it: "Okay, don't make trouble, let me think about this matter, let me think about it again." ”
Zhou snorted coldly, got up and walked to Bai Yueyu's side with a cane. Mother He beside her tore away the pretending Gu mother and pushed it away, Zhou's eyes were shining, and she looked at Bai Yueyu and said, "You hit it, you are such an insulting little who corrupts the door and is clean when he dies." You should have been sent away when you did those shameless ugly things earlier, and there were not so many bad things later.
It was your father's relenting heart that left you behind, and he didn't want you to cause such a disaster without repentance. Now you dare to force each other to death, it's a good way to learn from your little lady.
I'm putting my words here today, you want to marry into the Song family, it's impossible! If you really dare to kill yourself, I will show this face and shake out all the ugly things you have done, I see who will say a word for you, I am afraid that you will be ashamed and killed yourself! ”
Bai Yueyu, who said Zhou's words, was full of despair, and sat on the ground disheartened. Bai Zonglin was also intimidated by his mother and couldn't say a word. At this moment, someone hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Madame and Second Miss are back, Madame and Second Miss are back." ”
Bai Zonglin raised his head suddenly, his brows furrowed subconsciously. Zhou slammed the ground with his cane, and said coldly to Bai Zonglin: "I don't care what method you use, I will definitely make Yan'er change her mind and marry into the Song family." And the Qi family, in the end, it is an old husband and wife for decades, so you soften down and say a few good words, not afraid that she doesn't know what to do. ”
Bai Yueyu almost fainted when she heard this, her swollen eyes and looked at Aunt Zhao in a panic. Aunt Zhao weighed left and right, and saw Qi Shi taking Bai Yanran into the courtyard and walking towards the hall from a distance, and she was ruthless and glanced at Gu's mother on the side.
Gu's mother understood, quietly took out a small porcelain bottle hidden in her arms, poured out a small pill inside and stuffed it into Aunt Zhao's hand, Aunt Zhao took advantage of the fact that others didn't have time to pay attention to this, covered her face and quietly put the pill in her mouth and swallowed it.
Seeing that Qi Shi pulled his face and was helped by Bai Yanran to step into the threshold, Aunt Zhao suddenly walked over quickly and knelt at Qi's feet, crying pear blossoms and rain: "Madam, Second Miss, if you are magnanimous, give Yu'er a way to live." Second Miss, you are a concubine, naturally you want to marry into the Song family as a wife, Yu'er knows that she is humble, but she is just asking for a concubine, why can't you tolerate her? ”
Bai Yanran looked at Aunt Zhao who looked miserable and miserable, and sneered in her heart, did she hit her with the idea again?
Bai Yanran condescendingly looked at Aunt Zhao, her lips opened lightly, and the words she spit out were merciless.
"Since you know yourself humble, don't daydream about it. If my sister is just a concubine, then it's fine, but my aunt doesn't know about the ugly things she did, but I haven't forgotten it, and my cousin hasn't forgotten it, and she still wants to climb up to her cousin, why is she so faceless and skinless? ”
"You!"
When did Bai Yueyu ever be insulted in public by this sister she had always looked down on, she trembled with anger, and she couldn't wait to come up and tear Bai Yanran's mouth. But the gloomy face of the Qi family on the side made her cringe again, and she could only stare at Bai Yanran fiercely.
Aunt Zhao had a touch of gloom in her eyes, and she jumped up and hugged Bai Yanran's leg and shouted unrelentingly: "Second Miss, you sisters, you can't force her to a dead end!" Yu'er is your sister even if everything is wrong, blood is thicker than water, even if you look down on her, you can't ignore the love of sisterhood!
Yu'er, she is infatuated with Song Gongzi, if you really can't tolerate her, she will only have a dead end. I beg you to raise your noble hand even for the sake of the child in the belly of the concubine, and give Yu'er a way to live. ”
Aunt Zhao's strong words provoked Qi Shi to sneer again and again, and when she saw that she was holding Bai Yanran to death, she hated her so much that she wanted to step forward and tear her apart. Seeing this, Aunt Zhao quietly glanced at Mother Sun behind her, and Mother Sun nodded secretly.
However, although she was angry, she also knew that she was worried about Aunt Zhao's stomach, and she only wanted to go up and pull people away, and shouted in her mouth: "You fox is used to reversing right and wrong, don't dirty Yan'er's feet when you get up for me!" ”
She only took a step forward to pull Aunt Zhao's arm, but she didn't want to lean out just as soon as she was leaning out, so someone behind her pushed her violently. Qi's body was unstable and rushed forward, and Mother Sun behind her immediately shouted: "Madam, Madam, this can't be helped, can't be helped!" ”
The Qi clan pounced on Aunt Zhao in front, and the two collided, only to feel dizzy. When there was a shortage of soldiers, I didn't know who muttered in my ears: "Auntie." Auntie, what's wrong with you? How did so much blood be shed! Come on, come on, our aunt has a miscarriage! ”
