Chapter 34: Burning with Anger
"How can I blame you, that Xu Rou seems to be knowledgeable, I haven't found anything abnormal after teaching me for six years, it's normal for my mother not to know, how can I blame my mother!"
Mu Yu comforted and hugged Shen Mei, her smooth face rubbed affectionately on Shen Mei's neck, although she wanted to say something good for Xie Chongning, but she was reluctant to let her mother feel so distressed.
Mu Heyun clenched his fists under the wide sleeves of his coat, knocking the porcelain cup and the lid on the mahogany tea table with a "bang".
Before the family of three was calm, the maid at the door brought a summons from her grandmother, saying that she had something to tell Mu Yu a few words.
"Yu'er was frightened just now, when does my mother have to tell me?" Shen Mei, who has never been disobedient, was in full swing at this time, and she sat up with red eyes, frowning at the willow eyebrows, staring at the big girl sent by her grandmother with anger.
The eldest maid hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but be frightened by Shen Mei's momentum, and immediately leaned over respectfully and replied, "Madame is angry, and the slave doesn't know." ”
"Mother, when I came back, I happened to meet Mu Liangxuan at the door, and his words were too ugly, so I reprimanded him a few words."
Thinking about it, I also knew that it was impossible for my own rumors to take the initiative to cause trouble, and it seemed that Mu Liangxuan went to the old lady to complain again.
Women are weak, and the words of motherhood are fully reflected in Shen Mei. "Today, the rumor is unwell, you tell your grandmother to change the day." Shen Mei refused strongly.
The tears that he could not bear were swirling in his eyes at this time, and Mu Yu didn't care that the big girl was still beside her, and threw herself into Shen Mei's warm embrace full of sourness, and it took a long time to hold back her crying, "Mother, don't worry, I'll go with her." ”
If Mu Yu is invited to eat tea every day, it will be okay, the child is still young, and it is also appropriate to listen to the teachings of the elders, but today the rumor was so frightened, how could she, as a mother, not protect it?
"I'll go with the rumors." Shen Mei's tone was tough.
The eldest girl looked embarrassed, and looked at Hou Ye as if she was asking for help, "Grandma only called the eldest lady......"
However, today the husband and wife have one heart, and the rumors are already frightened, how can they let the pearl in their palms be wronged again?
"All of them go, and I'll go too."
At this time, Mu Liangxuan was flatteringly serving tea and pouring water for the old lady, rubbing his shoulders and beating his back, and repeatedly reciting Mu Yu's crime in the old lady's ear no less than ten times.
"Uncle and aunt are too used to her sister, she is now bold enough to escape the morning class and have a tryst with a man, I'm really afraid that my sister will follow in the footsteps of that second-room sister!"
The old lady's eyes were raised, her lips and teeth were closed, and her face was full of anger, especially when Mu Liangxuan mentioned the second room, she turned the white jade Buddha bead with her left hand and "gurgled".
In recent years, the old lady has become more and more convinced of Buddhism, but the harshness and strictness in her eyebrows and eyes have not changed with it, but she has repeatedly tolerated Mu Liangxuan alone.
Others only dare to question in their hearts, not knowing what kind of Buddha this old lady believes in and what kind of law she is teaching.
The old lady glared angrily at the door, but when she saw the three figures appearing at the door together, she laughed angrily, and said three times in a row, "Good, good, good." ”
"Greetings to my grandmother (mother)." There is no difference in etiquette.
Before the family could sit down, the old lady leaned back in the chair and sneered, "Your family loves each other, and it seems that you also know the purpose of my call for Mu Yu?" ”
The old lady has always been like this, the intimacy is very clear, Mu Liangxuan is Xuan'er, and Mu rumors have always been Mu rumors.
Mu Liangxuan had someone to support him, twisting his fat body to sway left and right, as if he was afraid that people would not be able to see him, and even rolled his eyes when Mu Yu raised his eyes to skim him.
Mrs. Ruyang's eyes are big, and Mu Liangxuan's eyes are also big, if such a pair of big eyes are placed on someone else's face, they must look good, but on Mu Liangxuan's fat face, maybe there is too much meat on his face, and his eyes look strange and abrupt, and he rolls his eyes, but he looks like a dead fat catfish.
Since she had such an association, she didn't dare to look up again, she pursed her lips lightly, and turned half of her face sideways, for fear that she would laugh out loud on this extremely inappropriate occasion.
From Mu Liangxuan's point of view, he could only see the shaking ear bells rhythmically beating on Mu Yu's face, "Grandmother, you see that Sister Yu is weak-hearted." ”
Mu Liangxuan wanted to lean over to the old lady's ear to add oil and vinegar, but his stomach was bigger and hindered his movements, like a traitor who saluted Taijun.
Mu Heyun couldn't get used to Mu Liangxuan's indifferent appearance early on, but after all, he was an elder, and he said a few words about Mu Liangxuan earlier, but he was as thick-skinned as a city wall, and he had no memory, and Mu Heyun stopped reminding him when he had many times.
But today, Mu Liangxuan was too arbitrary, and Mu Heyun couldn't help but speak, "You have stood up straight for me, and you don't stand in front of the elders, what kind of system has you become." ”
The old lady was not happy when she heard it, her eldest son had always respected herself, and today she actually reprimanded her heart treasure in front of her, "What I want to say today is Mu Yu, what are you angry with Xuan'er?" If you say so, I think Mu rumors are even more unorthodox. ”
Halfway through her words, the old lady thought of Mu Liangxuan's description just now, her blood surged, she covered her chest with one hand and gasped, and the other hand rolled the Buddha beads and slapped them on the tea table, "Xuan'er, tell your uncle, what did you see today." ”
"Uncle ......"
"Needless to say, this is a misunderstanding." Mu Heyun interrupted Mu Liangxuan, he was already a junior, how could he speak here.
"Misunderstanding? Are you saying that it was a misunderstanding that she came back from a strike, or that she was alone in a carriage with a man and that she was unclear at the door? ”
"It's not a strike." Mu Heyun frowned, slowed down his voice and asked, "Mother has heard of the fishing line murderer?" ”
The old lady's tall eyes immediately squeezed into a line, and she said in disgust, "What are you doing with those pickled things?" "I think I've heard it.
Mu Heyun continued, "I came to Dali Temple to retry the case, but I found that the wrong person was arrested, and the real murderer was Yu'er's female teacher, Xu Rou, which is why Xie Chongning sent Yu'er back early, if it wasn't for Xie Chongning's help, I'm afraid that Yu'er would have encountered an accident." ”
"Uncle, this story was told to you by Sister Yu'er? Teacher Xu taught her sister for six years, and suddenly said that people are murderers, and this day is a teacher and a father for life, Sister Yu'er is really ungrateful, and she can say anything to lose her conscience in order to clear her name. Mu Liangxuan laughed so unhappily, this Mu Yu seems to be really desperate, and he actually made up this kind of story that a three-year-old child would not believe.
"Could it be that my grandmother doesn't believe it either?" Mu Yu directly ignored Mu Liangxuan, who was laughing and jumping.
The old lady withdrew the anger on her face, took a deep breath, and slowly twisted the Buddha beads in her palm with her left hand, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when Dali Temple decides the case." ”
Although the old lady of the Luanping Marquis Mansion dotes on his grandson excessively, he can sit firmly in this position, and he is not an ordinary person when he is young, and the girl is still a little smart, and she will not tell this kind of lie that will be worn as soon as it is dismantled, so it must be true.
"Grandmother, you don't believe it, do you?" Mu Liangxuan's eyes widened in astonishment, as if the old lady nodded, and his eyeballs could fall out.
The old lady gently patted Mu Liangxuan's left hand and signaled him to be calm. "Even if you are frightened, you can't be alone with a man and a widow, but it's not good for the reputation of your daughter's family."
With Mu Heyun mutually, Shen Mei had confidence in his heart, the old lady had always been biased, and they also knew it, but the old lady was too biased, and it didn't matter if the rumor was so frightened and incomforted, in exchange for a lecture.
Her thin lips were pursed, and her fingertips holding the handkerchief were white, feeling sorry for her daughter.
For so many years, she thought she had become accustomed to tolerance, but at this moment, she still wanted to stand up angrily and seek justice for her daughter.
Mu Yu quietly attached her hand to her mother's tender hand, she felt the coldness of her mother's fingertips under the palm, but she gradually loosened the strength of the handkerchief.
The mother and daughter sat upright, without any verbal communication, and even without eye contact, but they understood each other's minds.
Shen Mei sighed sadly and with relief, her daughter has grown up.
"What my grandmother said is that it is not right to be alone with a man no matter what, and the rumor will never happen again." In order not to embarrass her parents, she has long been accustomed to admitting her mistakes, but she just apologizes, and she will not lose a piece of meat.
The old lady punched the cotton, Mu Liangxuan was not happy, how could this Mu Yu easily admit his mistake! And obviously Mu Yu had already admitted his mistake, but he just couldn't be happy. "Grandmother, you see that Sister Yu'er has admitted her mistake, how are you going to punish her?"
The anger in Mu Heyun's heart finally reached the extreme, he lifted the robe in front of his knees, stood up suddenly, and pointed his anger at Mu Liangxuan, "I see that your kid has itchy skin, and I can't tell who is in charge of this Luanping Marquis Mansion!" ”
He felt distressed when he touched the pearl in his palm, and now he almost lost his life and had to bear such grievances, how could he, as a father, bear it?
Mother taught the rumors and taught the rumors, but Mu Liangxuan, the little rabbit cub, fanned the flames here, if he didn't teach the lessons, would he really think that his rumors were soft persimmons?
Mu Liangxuan subconsciously hid behind the old lady, but half of it was still exposed, and he looked at Mu Heyun in a daze. The hall was quiet and pin drops could be heard.
But if the most shocking thing is the old lady, her son is the most filial to her, she is clear in her heart, but Mu Heyun's anger, although it is aimed at Mu Liangxuan, is also a bit of an example.
The old lady was used to Mu Liangxuan, but she didn't want to provoke her son like this, and Mu Liangxuan cowered and hid behind her at this time, she must have learned a lesson.
"Go back, go back, isn't the rumor frightened? Ask a doctor to show her! The old lady couldn't help but have a headache and sent everyone away, and today's matter was over, and she didn't want to really anger her son.
Only Mu Liangxuan didn't know what to do, after Mu Yu retreated, he still refused to leave and began to complain, "Grandmother, look at the uncle, you are so spoiled Sister Yu'er!" And I obviously didn't say anything wrong, he yelled at me like that in front of you, he didn't take you seriously! ”
