Xi Leju.

"Mengqi greets the old lady." The second lady, Meng Qi, obediently stepped forward to say goodbye, and did not know the etiquette as usual, and ran directly to the old lady to be coquettish without following the rules. Standing up straight, he secretly glanced up at the old lady. When she found the old lady sitting expressionlessly, she was immediately confused. A pink handkerchief of Jiangnan brocade, also in her hand, was twisted to lose its original brilliance and crumpled.

"The concubine greets the old lady." In front of the old lady, the third aunt always bows her head and bows down. She knew that if she didn't have the support of the old lady, then no matter how much she understood the master's mind and how charming she was, she would not be as favored in front of the master as she is now. The new wife, who has just entered the house, will not treat a woman who wants to share her husband's favor so kindly, after all, they are enemies at all times.

"Sit down." The old lady said in a faint tone.

The second lady started to walk to the first seat on the left-hand side, if it was a weekday, she would definitely sit in the first seat on the right-hand side. After all, there is still a difference between the left and right. Otherwise, why does my wife sit in the first seat on the right every time she comes? The third aunt playfully ignored the old lady's words and stood behind the second lady. She also hates in her heart, why can she only stand every time she comes? Just because she's a concubine?

"Green bamboo, you can sit too." The old lady looked at the third aunt who was following the rules and said. The third aunt has always been a smart woman in the old lady's heart. was sold by the family since he was a child, and after entering the house, he was willing to work, obedient, and eye-catching, and learned the rules well. Among the four big girls, Luzhu was the first to follow the old lady. When the green bamboo is twenty-eight years old, it grows more and more like a flower. At that time, the wife had just given birth to the eldest young master, and the old lady saw that no one was serving the master, so she discussed with the master to let Luzhu follow him, be a roommate, and wait for Luzhu to give birth to children, and then become an aunt. Why did the green bamboo that knew the measure back then become what it is now? The old lady looked at her coldly for a long time, and she found that when she first let her follow the master, she was very measured. Every day is plain clothes, and my wife and myself are also abiding by the rules every day, please be safe. Since giving birth to the second miss, like a different person, do you really think you are the master? The old lady felt that the peony was the same as what she thought, and the second Miss Mengqi was that she had grown up, although she was a little more delicate, she would never have that vicious mind, it must be this more and more flamboyant green bamboo, which was pestered on weekdays and taught the second miss badly.

"Concubine Xie Old Lady to sit down." The third aunt walked up to the second lady Mengqi and sat on half a chair, as if she was about to stand up immediately.

Peony waved her hand, and the little maids waiting next to her began to serve tea.

The old lady glanced at the second lady with a worried face and the third aunt with a calm face, then lowered her eyes and began to pick up the tea again. The second lady secretly glanced up and found that the old lady seemed to have forgotten their existence, and never spoke. The second lady couldn't hold back, forced herself to show a far-fetched smile like usual, looked at the old lady and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the old lady calling Mengqi and the third aunt?" The old lady looked up at her, lowered her eyes again, and said, "Why, can't I call you over if it's okay?" The third aunt smiled humbly as in the past and said: "The old lady is thinking of the second miss and the concubine, which is the blessing of the second lady and the concubine. ”

The old lady put down the cup, looked at the second lady and said, "I called you here to ask you what happened on the day your third sister fainted." ”

Finally, here comes the point. The second lady naturally glanced back at the third aunt and asked worriedly, "Is my sister okay?" Mengqi heard that her sister hadn't woken up yet, and she was worried every day that she couldn't eat or sleep well. It wasn't much that day, but when I walked around the garden in the morning, my sister's face was not very good. I also advised my sister to go back and rest early. Sure enough, my sister's body was delicate, and she suddenly fainted on the way back from the old lady. In fact, she was very scared at that time, and she didn't know what to do, there was chaos around her, and she didn't know how she returned to Tingxue Pavilion.

"Really? Then your third sister, how did you know that the Li family came to withdraw from the family? The old lady's tone and eyes became more and more stern.

"It's true that I told the third sister, and I was also worried about the third sister, so I told her to let her think of a way, after all, it will be difficult for the woman who has been divorced to marry in the future, and I am all for the good of the third sister." The second lady thought about how the third aunt persuaded her when she was scared and couldn't sleep, and how she helped her think of words.

"You mean, if I don't tell her, I just don't worry about her? Not good for her? Full of nonsense! ”

"Mengqi didn't mean that, Mengqi knew that the old lady loved our juniors very much, so she wanted the third sister to come and talk to the old lady."

"Tell me? Say what? Said to let you marry on your behalf? I just love you so much, and I'm getting more and more lawless! The old lady was very angry, picked up the cup, and went to the second lady. The third aunt was eager to save her daughter, and she didn't care about anything, so she got up and went to block it. The second lady was stunned when she saw the cup flying towards her, she never knew that the kind and kind old lady would treat her like this.

The cup fell on the third aunt's body, and the new tea that had just been served, the hot tea was like this, and the third aunt was wet. The third aunt couldn't take care of herself, so she pulled up the second lady and knelt on the ground. The second lady didn't cry or make trouble, so she sat on the ground in a daze. The third aunt kowtowed a few times, and said to the old lady with tears in her eyes: "Old lady Mingjian, the second lady would never dare to have such a meaning. The second miss also wanted to help the third miss, thinking that she already knew about it, and wanted to persuade her and open a little. The second lady also grew up beside the old lady since she was a child, and the old lady also knows what the second miss is. The old lady will look at the second lady's filial piety on weekdays, so spare the second miss this time. ”

"Spare her? She almost killed the three girls! Do you think that if you say a few words, this matter will be over? Come! The old lady shouted to the door, and immediately two burly and rough women walked in and stood by the door. On weekdays, the old man is in charge of errands outside the house, and he has no time to take care of the second girl, as your biological mother, she is not good, it is your fault. Come, drag the third aunt down and hit the thirty boards. Let the maids in the house watch, pleading the second lady to lie, not knowing the proportion, not following the rules, this is the consequence. "Thirty boards, even a strong man, has to beat half his life, not to mention that this time it was the old lady who spoke, and let the little maid watch, isn't this her life? The third aunt began to regret it, she knew that she would have just let the second lady bow her head and admit her mistake, how could it be so simple! "The old lady spares her life, the concubine doesn't dare anymore, the old lady spares her life......" The third aunt was so frightened that her body began to tremble.

As soon as the second lady woke up from the shock, she heard the old lady let her biological mother beat her biological mother for thirty boards, and she was so frightened that she cried and knelt down and moved to the old lady's side, hugged the old lady's leg and said: "Old lady, Mengqi knows that she is wrong, Mengqi will not dare anymore, so let the old lady let her aunt go." The old lady was indifferent: "Drag it down!" The second lady saw that the two mothers-in-law came forward and wanted to drag the third aunt down, but she didn't care about getting up, ran to the third aunt, hugged the third aunt, and didn't let the two mothers-in-law do it. The mother and daughter immediately burst into tears. The two mothers-in-law saw that it was the second lady, and they didn't dare to step forward and pull it, so they looked at the old lady's meaning.

"Grandmother." It was at this time that Dream Yu entered the door. The maid guarding the door outside the door was behind Mengyu and glanced at the old lady nervously.

The old lady hurriedly got up, pulled Mengyu to sit next to her, and blamed, "Didn't you let you rest?" I just woke up, why did I run out!"

"Grandmother, can you not punish the third aunt, I don't blame my sister for this, I think too much. Besides, the third aunt is the biological mother of the second sister after all, so it is too cruel to the second sister. Mengyu has no mother anymore, and I don't want my second sister to be as sad as me. Mengyu took the old lady's hand and said earnestly. She still wants a happy life in this family, and she doesn't want to create two enemies for herself like this.

The old lady looked at Mengyu with a sincere expression on her face. "Good boy, if you are as kind as you, this day will be harmonious." Turning his head to the third aunt, he said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." Drag the third aunt down and hit twenty dozen boards. Then he said to the second lady Mengqi: "Since your third sister helped you intercede, you will go back to the house and think about it." You are not allowed to step out of the room for three months, and you are not allowed to meet with the third aunt privately for half a year. ”

The third aunt knew that this was already the best result, so she could only accept it silently, and the second lady walked out of the door step by step.

This matter is finally over, but I don't know if the third aunt and the second lady will treat Mengyu as before when they meet in the future.
