The second lady and the third lady looked at each other for a while.

If this is the case, objectively speaking, it is not incomprehensible that the Bai family gave the Mei family the name of a "flat wife" who is not justified and does not speak well. None of them had ever heard of the term "flat wife" before, but after observing it in the past few days, Mei's "flat wife" is more than the ordinary aunt with the title of "lady", she neither went out to visit friends without permission, nor did she go to Yanhe Hall to ask for peace, and she has not even been to the courtyard of the three of them, and her behavior is no different from that of ordinary aunts.

But the premise of this understanding is to be able to understand the reason behind the name of "flat wife", otherwise if the truth is completely unknown, no one will accept a "flat wife" who can be called "madam" out of nowhere, even if this "flat wife" is actually no different from a concubine.

"Father and fourth brother too, since they have already explained, what can they do if they simply explain it, I see that when the fourth brother and sister are leaving, it doesn't look like they have figured it out, but it is more like they were scared."

Thinking of the obvious frightened look when the fourth lady left, the second lady's heart felt a little sad for her.

Many times, understanding is one thing to treat one thing, and accepting is often another.

They can stand on their own point of view and understand the behavior of the Bai family man handing out the name of a "flat wife" in order to obtain the Mei family, a fresh ally, but in a different place, if they are the fourth lady, even if they understand in their hearts that this is an exchange of interests, I am afraid that it will be difficult to accept another woman being called "madam" in front of them, not to mention that the fourth lady probably has not understood this now.

The eldest lady sighed at this time.

"Everyone has their own fate, and whether she can react or not is her business. As for this, we can just talk about it behind closed doors, but whether it is my father or the fourth brother, it is enough for them to be able to talk about this today, which is enough to lose face...... Mei's, then we should not see it. ”

With that, the eldest lady took the lead in getting up.

"It's been a long time since I've been in Yanhetang, I'll go back first, this pomelo doesn't know why, it's a little sad early in the morning, I have to go back and look at her quickly."

The second lady and the third lady hurriedly expressed a few words of concern, and after the eldest lady thanked them one by one, the three of them finally left Yanhe Hall.

…

The eldest lady took Bai Jiyuan with her when she went, but when she wanted to go back, she couldn't find Bai Jiyuan.

However, considering that Bai Jiyuan should be with his younger brothers at the moment, the eldest lady did not send someone to look for it, but went back to Zhining Courtyard by herself, compared to Bai Jiyuan, who was jumping around, Bai Xianyu, who vomited in the morning because of the bottle of perfume that was stolen from the incense pavilion, made her even more worried.

But the eldest lady's worries were obviously a little unnecessary.

As soon as the eldest lady entered Bai Xianyu's study, she saw her daughter leaning on the chair behind the table without sitting down, holding pastries in one hand and stuffing them into her mouth one after another, and turning over and over with the other, her face full of pride.

Such a gesture made the eldest lady feel funny and headache at the same time.

Obviously, it is the same parenting style, her eldest daughter has already advanced and retreated in such a big way, and her demeanor is graceful, but when it comes to Bai Xianyu, this is simply indescribable.

Jing Wu found out about the arrival of the eldest lady earlier than Bai Xianyu, and when she saw the anger on the eldest lady's face, and then looked at Bai Xianyu's bold posture at the moment, she suddenly felt her scalp tingle.

"Jing Wu has seen the eldest lady." , Jing Wu lowered his head and blessed the eldest lady.

"Roar, mother, are you back? I've been there for too long, isn't there anything lively about Yanhe Hall? While saying that, Bai Xianyu had already jumped off the chair and jumped in front of the eldest lady, she still thought that Yanhe Hall was lively.

The eldest lady instantly put down her already not good-looking face, and said, "What's the excitement, you haven't gone to Yanhe Hall to say goodbye, what is the excitement you tell your mother?" ”

Bai Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, her mother didn't seem to be in a very good mood at the moment? So she blushed and laughed flatteringly, "No, no, oh, I was wrong, mother, I'm smart, just if you go to Yanhetang, I will solve such a difficult problem!" Am I great? ”

"This question is ...... difficult", Bai Xianyu Balabala first explained how difficult this question was, and finally simply repeated the question to the eldest lady.

Although the eldest lady was still with a straight face at this time, when Bai Xianyu began to please the coquettish, her anger had already disappeared.

Looking at her daughter's proud face, the eldest lady deliberately said in a cold voice, "For a quarter and a half years, put two cakes on it first, and after half a quarter of an hour, take out one of its seeds, and then put one that has not been baked, and turn over the other side that is ripe; After another half a moment, turn it over, take out the one that has been branded, and then put in the one that was taken out before; Half a moment later, the remaining two were also seared. ”

The more Bai Xianyu listened, the more stunned she became, and the pride that she couldn't suppress had already completely froze on her little face.

She has always claimed to be smart, but she thought about the answer for more than an hour, and her mother actually knew the answer just by listening to it?

"Mother, have you ever heard this question before?" , she asked unwillingly.

The eldest lady shook her head, her expression was slightly softened, "No, this is the first time I've heard it." ”

Bai Xianyu squeaked, and the whole person suddenly became wilted, but he still stubbornly said, "Okay, then my mother is almost as smart as me." ”

The eldest lady sighed, turned her head to look at Jing Wu, who was a little at a loss, and said, "Trouble Jing Wu, you go outside to drink some tea and rest for a while." ”

Jing Wu quickly blessed again and withdrew.

The eldest lady is obviously going to start educating Bai Xianyu, if she is still stupid there, she will really feel uncomfortable with herself.

In the study, the eldest lady sat down with Bai Xianyu in her arms.

She said softly, "Yuzu, do you think you're smart and powerful?" ”

Bai Xianyu nodded naturally, but the moment her eyes met with the eldest lady, she suddenly felt that she seemed to be a little less reserved, so she said, "It's still smarter." ”

"Yu'er, you have grown so big, your mother has never restrained your nature too much, that's because your mother knows that you have your back to the Bai family and the Zhong family, you don't need to be restrained, you have the confidence to be comfortable, but now it seems that your mother seems to be thinking wrong......"

"Is it because I don't have good rules? But I really know the rules, I just ...... I just don't think it has anything to do with it in Zhiningyuan. Bai Xianyu retorted eagerly, she saw the self-blame in her mother's eyes, and then her heart began to feel uncomfortable for no reason, she didn't know it when she was young, and that feeling was called distress.

The eldest lady shook her head.

"It's because my grapefruit is so smart."
