When Jiang Zuiyao returned home, she heard Li Yan say that the eldest lady Shao Wanyun had come, but she was not there at the time, so Shao Wanyun left.

Jiang Zuiyao didn't take it to heart, and after a night, he found that Shao Ziqing was not kneeling in the courtyard to be punished as usual, and Grandpa Cui didn't bring anyone here, so he hurriedly asked Xi Jun to investigate.

After breakfast, the pity was that the young man came back and said: "Master, the slave and maid have inquired clearly, it was the queen mother who ordered to terminate the punishment of the eldest young master. ”

This inevitably makes people feel a little sudden, but there was no news at all before, could it be that she missed something when she left the house yesterday?

It's a pity that he has been out for so long, so he naturally won't just find out this news, and then said: "Now the imperial court is dealing with the epidemic in the north, and the court is spending money and money for this, and yesterday the Shao family donated 10,000 taels of silver to the imperial court in the name of the eldest young master, which has helped the imperial court to govern the northern wilderness. ”

That's to the point.

Seeing that Jiang Zuiyao was also talking, for fear that she would be unhappy when she heard the news, she said: "This matter is also full of turmoil in the city now, outsiders say that the master does not know the etiquette, how can there be a reason in the world for the elders to kneel down and be punished by the younger generations, and it is a good thing to stop this punishment now." ”

Jiang Zuiyao's face turned cold: "Do they know that I almost lost my life in childbirth, and it was Shao Ziqing who caused it?" ”

Xi Jun shook his head: "The Shao family sealed this news tightly, and outsiders didn't know about it. ”

Jiang Zuiyao's face was even more ugly, the Shao family only cared about her son, but she didn't care about it either, she never cared about those gossips.

At this moment, Li Yan walked in from outside and said, "Young lady, the eldest lady has come to visit you." ”

Jiang Zuiyao thought that Shao Wanyun had been here yesterday and came again today, so there must be something wrong, so she asked Li Yan to invite her in.

Shao Wanyun stepped through the threshold and walked in, the orange-red silk brocade gauze skirt was very eye-catching, and the gilded flowers on her head were embellished with blood coral, which was extremely expensive.

walked up to Jiang Zuiyao and called with a smile: "Sister-in-law." ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled back, pointed to the chair and said, "Sister, sit down." ”

Shao Wanyun walked over and sat down, called the maid next to her to put the things in her hand on the table, and said with a smile: "I came to visit my sister-in-law today." ”

Since people came with gifts, Jiang Zuiyao warmly entertained: "Thank you, sister, Linghui, tea." ”

Linghui answered, and hurriedly brought the tea fruit.

Shao Wanyun did not have the meaning of drinking tea and tasting fruits, and said: "On the day of my sister-in-law's birth, I came with my third brother, but at that time, my sister-in-law had a difficult birth, and the whole yard was very busy, so I didn't come to make trouble. ”

Regardless of whether what he said was sincere or not, but on the surface, people couldn't find fault with it, Jiang Zuiyao smiled faintly: "My sister is too worried, even if I have a child, it's not a big deal, even if my sister doesn't come, I won't pick on you." ”

Shao Wanyun pointed to the things she brought on the table, and said, "These are all carefully prepared by me for my sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't dislike it." ”

glanced at the large and small brocade boxes on the table, although I don't know what was inside, but at first glance they were all delicate objects, after all, she was the only lady of the Shao family, and her shot would naturally not be shabby.

But Jiang Zuiyao didn't know what kind of wind blew Shao Wanyun here, and they saw that they rarely interacted.

In this way, Jiang Zuiyao didn't understand Shao Wanyun's words, and asked with a smile: "Is my sister just here to visit me today?" ”

So straight to the point, Shao Wanyun didn't hide it, thought about it, and said: "I really came to visit my sister-in-law, but I ......"

Looking at Shao Wanyun's hesitant appearance, Jiang Zuiyao said, "If my sister has anything to say, just say it." ”

Shao Wanyun's face became a little more restrained: "Sister-in-law, I know that if I say this, you may not like to hear it, but my sister really can't help but say it." ”

Jiang Zuiyao still smiled: "It's okay, you can say it." ”

Shao Wanyun swallowed and foamed at the mouth, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth: "Sister-in-law, sister, please, don't worry about the eldest brother, okay?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao had long expected that Shao Wanyun's words that were not good at speaking must be related to Shao Ziqing, although she guessed it, but when she heard Shao Wanyun say this, her face still turned indifferent.

Shao Wanyun saw that her face was a little unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you and your eldest brother are husband and wife after all, what is there that you can't get by?" ”

It seems that Shao Wanyun didn't know that the Queen Mother had withdrawn her will to punish Shao Ziqing, and she must have come here yesterday for this matter.

But she wanted to hear what Shao Wanyun would say, so she didn't rush to tell her, just sat there and didn't speak.

Shao Wanyun replied a little anxiously: "Sister-in-law, you have a lot of adults, so don't be angry with your eldest brother." These days, I often go to the study to visit my eldest brother, my eldest brother's knees, have been kneeling and grinding out of skin, flesh and blood are flying, even the medicine is painful half to death, if I continue to torture like this, I am afraid that I will grind out the bones. ”

Jiang Zuiyao still didn't answer a word, picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he hadn't heard it.

Shao Wanyun was even more anxious: "Sister-in-law, if it is not a last resort, I will definitely not come to upset my sister-in-law." The eldest brother's face has long been beaten and he can't recognize people, but now not only his face is swollen, but even the inside of his ears is swollen, and it is a little difficult to listen to people's words...... I'm afraid it's ......."

The latter words were unlucky, and Shao Wanyun didn't dare to say it, she only dared to think in her heart, and when she thought about it, her eyes turned red.

Jiang Zuiyao pretended not to see it, fiddling with the jade bracelet on her wrist, still not saying a word.

Shao Wanyun has never dealt with Jiang Zuiyao, so she inevitably feels that she is a little ruthless, but she doesn't dare to lose her temper, for fear of provoking Jiang Zuiyao, she will not let Shao Ziqing go, so she can only say pitifully: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, the eldest brother has been injured before, although he has been healed, but it is only superficial, the doctor said that the internal injury is especially there, and now this new injury is more unbearable." ”

At this point, Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Shao Wanyun squarely, looking at the young appearance, and couldn't bear to play with it, so he said: "It is the Queen Mother who punishes Shao Ziqing, you come to talk to me about this, it is better to enter the palace and tell the Queen Mother." ”

Shao Wanyun was even more anxious: "If my sister can enter the palace, she will naturally not come to disturb her sister-in-law, it is because my sister does not need her sister-in-law to have face in front of the queen mother, so she came to beg her sister-in-law." ”

Jiang Zuiyao simply put his words more bluntly: "You look at Shao Ziqing pitifully now, and feel that I am ruthless as a wife, but you may not know that your brother's viciousness towards me in the past is no less than the injury he suffered today." ”

Shao Wanyun didn't believe it, she didn't believe that her brother, who loved him so much on weekdays, was such a ruthless person.

Jiang Zuiyao said again: "Since I entered the Shao family, you have been traveling with your third brother, and you probably don't know anything about the affairs of the East Courtyard, and now I don't want to talk to you more, I just tell you that Shao Ziqing can have today, all of which are his own faults, and evil will be rewarded." As for the punishment, you don't have to come to me, the Queen Mother has already withdrawn her will, and she will not punish him again. ”
