Chapter 42: I Can't Kneel
Compared to her little dilapidated house, it was a scene in the sky and in the ground.
As soon as he walked into the house, Zhao Muyu hurriedly swept everyone.
She first saw her grandmother Liu sitting on the main seat, Liu was honored by everyone as an old princess, she was wearing a dark blue brocade embroidered with lotus and flying birds, wearing a simple but powerful silver hairpin on her head, and the hair on her sideburns was slightly gray, which could be seen to be an old woman of age.
But although she is old, her hair is meticulously combed, her clothes are clean and luxurious, she holds a string of gray Buddha beads in her hand, and sits there lightly, her body reveals a mysterious and majestic energy, and she knows that her background is very noble.
With a glance of her eyes, Zhao Muyu saw Zhao Shan's tomb, her father.
Zhao Shan Tomb is tall, with black hair, a thin short beard at the corner of his lips, dressed in a cyan brocade robe, sitting on the chair of the flower phoenix wood Taishi beside the old princess, his eyes are cold, his expression is cold, and he is not angry and arrogant.
Standing on the side are Aunt Jiang Feili, and the third lady Zhao Qingqing, who came back early in the van car, Concubine Jiang is wearing a gorgeous red brocade dress, embroidered with gorgeous pink lotus flowers, and wearing a jade hairpin with a lot of value on her head.
As soon as she saw Aunt Jiang's self-esteemed and noble appearance, Zhao Muyu thought of her mother who died tragically, and the little brother who was ruthlessly taken away, maybe the younger brother had already been killed by Aunt Jiang, how could she let her mother's son-in-law exist to endanger her son's eldest son's position?
Thinking of this, Zhao Muyu had a cold current in her heart, seeing Aunt Jiang's eyes becoming more and more cold, she had a strong hatred in her heart, and this hatred had accumulated in her mind for many years.
Standing opposite Aunt Jiang, a woman who is soft and soft like a weak willow to support the wind, is the third aunt Zhang, Zhang's skin is whiter than Aunt Jiang, standing there like a snake, there is a kind of enchanting appearance that can't stand and wants to fall into the arms of Zhao Shan's tomb, she raised the corner of her eyes slightly, her face is full of lazy contempt, and at first glance she is a charming woman who is used to pleasing men.
Zhang has been married to Zhao Shan's tomb for many years and only gave birth to one daughter, the fourth lady, Zhao Ruohan, who is now studying under a famous doctor and is studying medicine outside.
There is also a pair of mother and daughter standing in the corner who do not attract attention, this is the second aunt Yang Liumeng and her daughter, the fifth lady Zhao Ningbing.
In her memory, Zhao Muyu was not impressed by them, because they were extremely low-key, Yang Liumeng was gentle and polite, and Zhao Ningbing was also extremely sensible and kind, and she was a girl who couldn't bear to hurt even ants.
As soon as Zhao Muyu and the others entered the house, Zhao Shanjiao suddenly sat up straight, slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, and looked at Zhao Muyu with a cold face, "Bold girl, do you know what you did wrong, and don't kneel down for me!" ”
As soon as Zhao Shan's tomb asked, almost everyone in the room looked at Zhao Muyu gloatingly, Zhao Jingyi and Zhao Qingjin had a deeper pride in their eyes, but Zhao Qingjin had an injury on his mouth, and he was worried that his father would find out, so he covered his mouth with his sleeve from time to time.
Zhao Muyu looked at Zhao Shan's tomb, who always had a straight face, stubbornly raised his head, and his face flashed: "Dare to ask Daddy, why does my daughter kneel?" And what crime did the daughter commit? ”
Zhao Shanji snorted coldly, he never thought that this daughter had turned into a stinky stone, just like her mother, sharp and hard, and his fingertips began to tremble when he pointed at her: "You have fat guts, right?" You still don't know what good things you have done outside, you waste material does not abide by women's morals, fornicates with others, and loses the face of my Zhao Mansion. His Royal Highness King Yu spared your life for my sake, don't think that this can offset your mistakes, even if His Royal Highness doesn't blame you, I, as your father, have to punish you well and let you know what family style is! ”
If you don't ask about it, you have to punish yourself, Zhao Muyu really feels ridiculous, her father is really cold and selfish, and her heart has gone to outer space, if Zhao Qingqing encounters this kind of thing, maybe it won't be so cold.
Zhao Muyu snorted coldly in his heart, and did not pay attention to Zhao Shan's tomb, but walked in front of the old princess, bent down slightly, and gave her a solemn salute, "Granddaughter greets grandma." ”
The old princess didn't expect that this granddaughter, who had always been timid and timid, would greet herself, she paused when she was still twisting the Buddha beads, raised the corners of her eyes, and asked lightly: "Are you back?" What's the matter with your ashes? ”
Although it was a question, it was not aggressive, and this calm word gave Zhao Muyu an inexplicable sense of relief.
She knew that the head of the house in this house was Zhao Shan's tomb and the housemother was Concubine Jiang, but she knew better that both the head of the house and the housemother had to listen to the old princess, and the old princess in this family had the greatest rights and the most majestic.
If it weren't for the god of the old princess, maybe she would have been killed by Concubine Jiang.
This grandma has always been fair and just, and her temperament is upright, but she rarely takes care of things, almost all of them are eating fasting Buddha, she usually lives in Xiangyun Garden, and lives a leisurely life like idle clouds and wild cranes, and she doesn't like to talk much, so sometimes everyone forgets that she is the real master of the family.
It is precisely because this grandmother is fair and has never discriminated against her that Zhao Muyu gave her a salute first, and in this family, the only person she respects is this kind-hearted grandmother.
She is now soft-spoken and extremely weak, and she must find a backer as soon as possible, so as soon as she enters, her eyes are fixed on the old princess.
Seeing Zhao Muyu not shy away from currying favor with the old princess, Concubine Jiang showed a trace of contempt and laughter in her eyes, and urgently returned to normal, and became the decent housewife with a noble face.
Zhao Muyu took a step forward and answered the old princess's question: "Back to grandma, my granddaughter was almost framed by Song Yiren's master and servant, and I think my little sister has already told you." The granddaughter doesn't kneel because she can't kneel! ”
"Can't kneel? I, the father, must kneel if you ask you to kneel, you have offended King Yu, you are already a sinner, let you kneel down and you will kneel, why can't you kneel? Zhao Shan's face was gloomy, and he stared at Zhao Muyu suspiciously, this is still the usual daughter who is only a promise.
Zhao Muyu raised his eyes and quietly swept a few people, a ray of clarity flashed in his eyes, and he replied calmly: "Daddy thinks I'm wrong, and he can punish me for kneeling." But if I really kneel, it is tantamount to telling everyone that I really made a mistake, really lost my innocence, and lost the face of the Zhao family. But I didn't make a mistake, even King Yu knew that I didn't have an affair with anyone, I was framed, the butcher was just tearing with me, and when I resisted, I tore my clothes to be so embarrassed. If I had fallen to my knees without making a mistake, and if I had confessed to fornication, I am sure that my reputation would not only have been damaged if it had really reached the public. One is prosperous, one loss is lost, a small character like me damages the reputation is small, if it involves a few sisters, it will be more than worth the loss, especially the little sister, so good and smart, I can't let the rumors affect the reputation, for the future of several sisters, I have to go against the grain once. Please forgive my daughter for being unfilial, I can't kneel today. ”
