After the incident with He You, Mrs. Cheng was idle in the room every day, no one was watching, she showed a little listlessness, and outsiders naturally didn't know Mrs. Cheng's appearance.

And Qiaoling, as a personal maid, has some understanding of Mrs. Cheng's appearance.

Pouring a cup of tea for Mrs. Cheng, Qiao Ling heard Mrs. Cheng say, "Qiao Ling, I've been really unwell lately, and the ladies who do my daily escort games have never come to me to have fun with me anymore." ”

I probably had some understanding of the reason for this problem, and Mrs. Cheng was embarrassed to say it clearly, so she just said to Qiao Ling in this seemingly casual tone.

"Perhaps, those ladies have also been busy with their own affairs in recent days, and they have not gathered again."

Accompanied by Mrs. Cheng day and night, Qiao Ling is not a stupid person, and she also has some speculations about the questions asked by Mrs. Cheng, because of the matter with He You, Mrs. Cheng has really lost some prestige in the eyes of those famous ladies in the city.

"Is it because of that?"

Knowing the reason in her heart, Mrs. Cheng asked.

"Madam, you don't have to pay too much attention to this matter, if you want to go out to play, Qiao Ling asked people to ask those ladies, if they go out to play together, let them come to Madame."

In order to be able to appease Mrs. Cheng, Qiao Ling put forward her own suggestions.

After listening to Qiao Ling's words, Mrs. Cheng was a little relieved, nodded as if nothing happened, and said, "Then you can go and ask." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

After receiving the news of Mrs. Cheng's invitation, several ladies in the city made an appointment and came to Huai'enhou's house to invite Mrs. Cheng to watch the play together.

Naturally, she was very happy, and Mrs. Cheng felt that she was finally able to watch the play with those ladies, and she was really happy to be freed from the idle days.

The ladies went to the theater in the city to listen to the music.

The drama on the stage sang again and again, which won the applause of the audience.

In the boiling bustle, Mrs. Cheng did not have the same happy mood as when she was first invited, she felt that those ladies did not have the scene of chatting freely with her in the past, but they chatted very well, and they were just polite to her, and she could not intervene in anything.

"Hey, although Mrs. Cheng's affairs do not make people feel very good, it's just that she is Huai Enhou's wife after all, and we can't treat her too badly."

A lady who was far away from Mrs. Cheng approached the lady next to her, and said in a low voice.

The lady nodded, "I know, well, we need to be respectful and polite to her." ”

And at this time, Gu Zhiruo, who was sitting on the other side, noticed the situation here.

While drinking tea, Gu Zhiruo looked over, and her sharp eyes found that Mrs. Cheng sitting in the crowd looked so lonely and embarrassed, and the ladies around her were talking and laughing, but Mrs. Cheng had a feeling of being left out.

Speculating about Mrs. Cheng's situation in his heart, Gu Zhiruo couldn't help but smile lightly, and soon left the theater.

Walking briskly all the way with a happy mood, Gu Zhiruo found Zhao Qingyan, she looked at her, and deliberately put on a posture of selling Guanzi.

Feeling a little funny, Zhao Qingyan looked at Gu Zhiruo and said, "Look at your appearance, what do you want to say?" ”

Walking quickly closer, Gu Zhiruo came to Zhao Qingyan's side, "I just saw the invincible Mrs. Cheng in the theater, guess what?" ”

Throwing out the question, Gu Zhiruo looked at Zhao Qingyan with a happy face.

How is Mrs. Cheng?

Zhao Qingyan's heart naturally didn't care about Mrs. Cheng, and after hearing Gu Zhiruo say this, she just smiled lightly, "Oh? What did you see that made you so happy? ”

Zhao Qingyan maintained a joyful smile and said, "I saw Mrs. Cheng with those ladies in the city in the theater, and Mrs. Cheng was snubbed during the whole process, and those ladies treated her with unfamiliar politeness, without any eagerness. ”

With some joy in his tone, Gu Zhiruo said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although she doesn't pay any special attention to Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng treats her with a hypocritical and contemptuous attitude on weekdays, however, Mrs. Cheng is an elder in the end, how can she be too ridiculed here when she is in trouble?

"After all, she is also an elder, so let's not talk about her."

said to Gu Zhiruo, Zhao Qingyan looked at her, and Gu Zhiruo nodded.

After separating from the ladies, Mrs. Cheng returned to Huai Enhou's mansion with a sullen expression.

Very depressed, Mrs. Cheng returned to her room and saw Huai Enhou sitting precariously and looking at herself.

Shocked, Mrs. Cheng paused, "Master Hou is here." ”

The tone was a little cold, and Wynn listened and nodded.

"Madam, there is really something wrong with you and Miss He, you know?"

His tone was so cold, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but be very scared, she stepped back, "Master Hou, it's the concubine's mistake." ”

"There are rules in the house, and if you do something bad, you should be punished. However, after all, you are the mother of a family, and you can't be humiliated in front of others, so tonight, go to the ancestral hall to think about it and reflect on yourself, understand? ”

With a sinking heart, Mrs. Cheng sighed, but she couldn't refute it, so she had to say, "Yes, the concubine obeys orders." ”

Huai Enhou also stood up and left Mrs. Cheng's room.

Although Huai Enhou's punishment of Mrs. Cheng was not carried out on the surface, after all, there were those stories and those people in a house, and the news that Mrs. Cheng had spent the night in the ancestral hall was quickly spread among the people in the mansion.

As soon as he left the room, Zhao Qingyan heard gossip related to Mrs. Cheng, all of which came from the mouth of the domestic servant.

Sighing in his heart, Zhao Qingyan looked over, only to see that the group of people who were talking immediately dispersed, as if they were going to go to their respective jobs.

"Stop!"

The shouts stopped the servants, and wherever they dared to run away, they all stopped.

Walking over quickly, Zhao Qingyan said, "You guys, are you talking about Mrs. Cheng?" ”

No one dared to answer.

"Mrs. Cheng is the head of the house, and you gossip like this? Isn't it too undeserved? She is in charge of the family business, how can you gossip behind her back? ”

Zhao Qingyan said to those servants.

After listening to Zhao Qingyan's words, everyone also felt that they should not gather here to talk about Mrs. Cheng, so they nodded one after another.

"Yes, yes, we know."

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyebrows, "It's good that you know, let's go and do our own things." ”

Answering Zhao Qingyan's words, a group of servants went down one after another.

Thinking of Mrs. Cheng's situation, Zhao Qingyan sighed helplessly, she could do to make Mrs. Cheng be respected by the family servants.
