Chapter 29: Dotted in vain
Aunt Du buried her face behind Tang Heng and sobbed, "Xiangye, concubine...... The concubine body was speechless for a while, please forgive me for the sake of the past, the concubine body is also because of the recent Yu'er grounded in the ancestral hall in a bad mood to be open-mouthed, the concubine body is not malicious, Xiangye, you have known Xianglian'er for so long, what Lian'er is is not clear, I can't bear to be harsh on a maid who does something wrong, I can't bear to be harsh, ask Xiangye to forgive Lian'er once, Lian'er will treat the third lady strictly in the future, and dare not arrange a sentence of right and wrong. ”
Tang Heng felt the traces of tears on his back, and the slightly trembling hands holding him, a little soft-hearted, after all, more than ten years of husband and wife relationship, his face was still cold and hard: "In the future, I will have time to read more books, teach Yu'er well, don't always think about how to deal with others, and use your mind in some places that are not on the table." You don't want to look at what Yu'er has been taught by you now, you really lost the face of the Prime Minister! ”
After that, he broke away from Aunt Du's slender arms and strode away.
Aunt Du sat on the ground weakly, her face was full of tears, and she grabbed her skirt with a pair of plain hands, eager to tear the fabric apart.
It's all that little slut, not only hurt Yu'er, but now he even let Xiangye snub her, and let him be proud for a few more days, and when it comes to worshipping her ancestors, she will definitely be ruined.
The seventh day of August. Finally came the day when Tang Yanyu lifted the ban.
When Tang Yanyu came out of the ancestral hall, she couldn't open her eyes when she was swayed by the sun outside, she hadn't gone out to bask in the sun for a month!
This day in the ancestral hall to eat fasting and read Buddha, copy the scriptures, she has to copy the fee, every day coarse tea and light rice, a month down the whole person has lost a lot of weight, Wen also came to check her homework every day, if you copy less than once, you will not give food, Tang Yanyu at first was still willful not to copy, to the back is really hungry, gritted his teeth and persevered.
As soon as Aunt Du saw that her lively and lovely daughter was as thin as skin and bones, her eyes immediately burst into tears, and she was distressed, so she quickly asked her subordinates to bring over the meals prepared in advance.
Tang Yanyu looked at the dazzling dishes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but gobble it up.
Aunt Du gave her vegetables next to her, and whispered: "Yu'er, eat slowly, eat slowly." ”
Tang Yanyu didn't care about the usual dining etiquette, and after eating three bowls of rice, she put down the dishes and chopsticks and hugged Aunt Du and cried bitterly.
Aunt Du asked distressedly: "Didn't my mother take care of your diet every day?" Why are you still so hungry, as if you have never eaten meat? ”
"Mother, you don't know how hateful the Wen family is, she probably knows the money you spend every day, on the surface, let the maid accept it, but behind the scenes, she still gave me the porridge and white steamed buns to eat, I wanted someone to pass on a word to inform you, who knew that the Wen family sent people to stare at me very tightly every day, I really can't pass on the news."
Aunt Du was immediately furious after hearing this, "Then didn't all the money I sent this month go to Wen's pocket, you Wen, you are so insidious!" ”
As long as she thought that the money she sent every day was into Wen's pocket, she trembled with anger, the maids' money has been getting higher and higher in the past month, she had to grit her teeth and continue to give for her daughter, her private money is almost exhausted, where did she want to let the Wen family take advantage, if it weren't for her daughter still in front of her, Aunt Du felt that she could be angry and fainted.
Tang Yanyu hurriedly calmed her mother's breath and continued to complain, "Mother, the Wen family not only asked me to copy scriptures and read scriptures every day, but also punished me for kneeling for an hour every day. ”
After speaking, she lifted her trouser leg and leaked out of her knee, Aunt Du saw that her daughter's knees were as white as jade, and her face was angry and distressed, "My Yu'er has suffered, don't worry, my mother will definitely avenge you in the future." ”
Tang Yanyu sobbed twice and muttered, "It's still my mother's best for me." ”
Leaning on his mother's embrace for a while, Tang Yanyu suddenly remembered something, and said angrily: "Mother, I'm going to find Tang Yanning, if it weren't for this little slut harming me, where could I suffer so many crimes, I have to go and peel off her skin today." ”
Aunt Du grabbed her daughter who had just gotten up, and said solemnly: "No, Yu'er, you don't know in the ancestral hall during this time, Steward Lin was killed by Xiangye with a cane because of his disrespect to Tang Yanning, Steward Lin, you don't know yet, a complete villain, relying on how long the Wen family has been in the mansion, and was so easily killed by the cane, and I heard that Xiangye bumped into the scene of the eldest lady punishing Tang Yanning that day, although he didn't say anything on the surface, but he had never been to the Wen family's room in the past few days, and his attitude became a little cold. And in the past few days, even Xiangye has become a little partial to her, and sent her a lot of things, and even the jade cream rewarded by the emperor was used by the little slut,"
Tang Yanyu looked surprised: "Won't it?" My father never wanted to see her, did he? Mother, mother, could it be a coincidence, maybe Steward Lin was unlucky, and was seen by his father when he happened to bully Tang Yanning, and his father felt that he couldn't get over his face so he punished him? As for the Wen family, my father has never liked her much, doesn't he always favor you, and those rewards may just be appeased afterwards, mother, are you thinking too much? ”
Aunt Du shook her head, "It's not a coincidence, Steward Lin has always been unpopular, and he hasn't lived well for so many years, and I heard that the Wen family also went to protect him, but in the end he was killed by a cane, if you want to say that the little slut didn't do anything, I don't believe it, in short, Tang Yanning is not as simple as it seems." ”
"Besides, the date of your wedding date has been set, don't take the initiative to provoke her recently, save some trouble, and after this incident, your father is also quite disappointed in you, so you must behave well and obediently recently, don't let your father think that your month's confinement is in vain."
Tang Yanyu pursed his lips and sat back very unwillingly.
Aunt Du continued to advise: "Yu'er, those who do great things must be able to bend and stretch, you must know that in this Prime Minister's Mansion, only your father's favor is the most important, your top priority is not to take revenge, but to find a way to establish a good image and win your father's favor again, as long as your father still spoils you as before, then you are still the noble second lady in this Prime Minister's Mansion, even the Wen family does not dare to pinch you easily." ”
Tang Yanyu nodded, and said dejectedly, "Got it." ”
Aunt Du didn't know her daughter's thoughts, and comforted: "Yu'er, don't worry, my mother won't let you suffer this loss in vain, my mother already has a plan, and she will definitely avenge you when the time comes, so that Tang Yanning's little slut will be ruined and ruined, and there will be no recovery." ”
After hearing the news, Tang Yanyu's moment when he was still gray became bright and bright, and he asked excitedly, "Really?" Mother, if you have any good countermeasures, tell me quickly. ”
Aunt Du lowered her head and whispered in her daughter's ear for a while, the more Tang Yanyu listened, the more excited she became, and she couldn't help but applaud her mother.
