Chapter 48 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
Seeing that Granny Lu was busy, she pulled Zhong Lingyu's sleeve out of Ju Ying's hand with all her might, and said angrily: "What? Not only does the second lady want to beat my young lady, but your little maid also dares to do it? My lord is no longer alive, and you just bully the orphans and widows in our big house? It's really unreasonable. Aren't you afraid that the lord will not be able to see it in the sky, and he will be punished and punished? ”
Ju Ying saw that someone on the street had heard Granny Lu's words, and had begun to point at them. She couldn't help but sweat profusely. Where can she care if she will be retributioned in the future? She only knew that if she let Zhong Lingyu go this time, her retribution would come immediately. She kept begging and asked Zhong Lingyu to go with her to the old lady.
was pulling, and a mother-in-law came out at the gate of the second room, which was Mrs. Zhong's most useful companion mother.
As soon as she saw this state at the door, she hurriedly walked over and said to Zhong Lingyu with a smile: "Miss, the old lady said that there is an urgent matter and wants you to go over." As she spoke, she had already walked to Zhong Lingyu's side, and said in a low voice, "The old lady has regretted the incident in the afternoon, and asked the young lady to apologize to you, and said that she would restrain the second lady and the third lady, and not ask them to find trouble with the eldest lady and the young lady." ”
Zhong Lingyu didn't plan to go to the patriarch, she was just pretending just now, but now the old lady gave her a step down, and she accepted it when she saw it, and sighed and said, "Okay." ”
Mama Mu and Ju Ying were overjoyed, and hurriedly made way out and invited Zhong Lingyu into the house.
Zhong Lingyu entered Ningxi Hall, and saw that Mrs. Zhong was really sitting at the table looking at the jewelry, and there were several jewelry boxes on the table, and the lids of the boxes were all opened, revealing the jewels inside.
"Old lady, the eldest lady is here." Mama Mu said as soon as she entered the door.
Old Madam Zhong raised her head at this time, and beckoned to Zhong Lingyu with a smile: "Yu'er, come here, take a look, what jewelry you like, hurry up and pick one." ”
Zhong Lingyu didn't go over, and stopped when she was a foot away from Old Madam Zhong, and bowed to her, saying, "Thank you, Old Madam for thinking." However, I am still in filial piety, so I should not wear jewelry. The old lady has extra jewelry, so she might as well give it to her sisters. ”
"Hey, what to do for them? One or two skin monkeys, none of them are stable, and they don't trample good things. Come, you come and pick a few things to go back, don't wear them now, and you will always wear them when you go out in the future. Good jewelry can stand up to a few years, and it won't go out of style for a few years. "Old Madam Zhong is kind and kind-eyed. If outsiders had seen this situation, they would have never imagined that half an hour ago, there would still be tension between the two of them, fighting to the death.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Mrs. Zhong wants to act, and Zhong Lingyu is naturally not cooperative.
She lowered her head, her expression gloomy, and she wanted to cry: "The way I look now, even if I have good jewelry, I can't wear it." So grandmother, you don't have to bother, if you have good jewelry, give it to your sisters, and it's a bad thing to wear it for me. As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears.
"Alas!" Old Madam Zhong let out a long sigh and beckoned to the side, and a maid next to her hurriedly handed over a small box.
Mrs. Zhong opened the small box and revealed the yellowed paper inside: "When I was young, I also liked to dress up, and I worked hard to find a few beauty prescriptions. Because the medicinal materials are difficult to come by, the cost is quite high, and I haven't gotten it a few times. Then your grandfather died, and I didn't have the heart to do any of that. But the results of these recipes are really good. Your face is now just a rash and a few scars. There is a trace remover in it, the effect is very good, you try it, it will definitely work. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to the other side: "A few days ago, I heard that you had a scar on your face, so I asked someone to collect medicinal herbs everywhere, and after you left today, the housekeeper sent the last few medicinal herbs." You take these herbs and find someone to mix them, apply them for a while, and your appearance will soon recover. ”
Another maid walked over with a large box, Zhong Lingyu looked at it, and there were five or six boxes of all sizes in the big box, which contained ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, gentian grass and other precious medicinal materials.
It seems that in order to gag her mouth, the old lady really made a bloody investment.
She bowed her head and made no sound.
Seeing that her attitude was a little looser, Mrs. Zhong quickly pulled her to the table, pressed her shoulder to let her sit down, and said, "Come, pick a few things you like." He put a few valuable jewelry in front of Zhong Lingyu, and said, "I will talk about your second aunt and ask her not to hate you and your mother." It's all a family, how can there be no bumps? Just don't worry too much, what do you say, Yu'er? ”
As she spoke, she took two brightly colored silks from the side: "This is from your cousin." Although she didn't mean to eat fish and get a rash, but it was because of her, she felt that she couldn't stand you, and took two pieces of cloth to make amends. Yu'er, you're an atmospheric child, don't blame her, okay? ”
This family, even if it is separated, is still a family after all, especially in this era of ruling the world with filial piety, Mrs. Zhong took on the identity of mother-in-law and grandmother, whether it was the Zhuang family, Zhong Lingyu and Zhong Lingming, the two brothers, they had to be filial to her.
Besides, the old lady Zhong made a fortune in business when he was young, so he moved his family to the city, and returned to the countryside to live for a few days a year, that is, when he worshiped his ancestors. The head of the Zhong family is just a rural landlord with more than 100 acres of land, Zhong Lingyu really wants to go to the clan to complain, and the head of the Zhong family may not be able to take care of this matter.
If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Zhong was a stepfamily, and when Mrs. Zhong returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she was always compared with the original partner Sun, she was a good-faced person, and she didn't want to end up with the crime of bullying their orphans and widows as soon as the eldest son of the original partner died, and her own mother and son bullied their orphans and widows, she really didn't care if Zhong Lingyu sued the Hui clan or not.
It was precisely because she clearly understood these that Su Yuwan did not really return to the township, but revealed the news to her mother-in-law, making Mrs. Zhong anxious after learning the news.
Now that Mrs. Zhong has taken so many things to compensate, and her attitude is extremely low, Zhong Lingyu will naturally accept it when she sees it.
She looked at the things on the table and hesitated, "These...... Does the second aunt know? ”
"Even if she knows, it doesn't matter, this family is still in my hands." Old Madam Zhong waved her hand very arrogantly.
"But...... Second aunt, she won't use tricks against my mother behind her back, right? My grandmother also knew that my mother was weak and could not withstand the toss. Zhong Lingyu looked worried.
