Chapter Ninety-Three: Framing the Clan Elders
Before Xia Yanqing could sit down firmly on the brocade stool, Mrs. Li said lightly: "Yanqing, your grandmother asked me to ask you a few words." ”
Mrs. Jiang's face darkened, she was just asking questions on her behalf, did she need this? Can't you just say a few words about the scene and make a transition?
Xia Yanrong and Xia Ruiqing stared at Xia Yanqing with burning eyes, waiting with interest to see the next excitement.
Xia Yanqing was helpless, so he had to stand up again: "Auntie, excuse me." ”
Mrs. Li withdrew her gaze at Xia Yanqing, lowered her eyes, and said coldly: "It is said that niece, you grew up in the countryside, and the family should be more lenient to you." However, the harmony between the women of the big family is a big deal, and if it is not for their own soft-heartedness, they can block the mouths of the people. ”
"Oh......" It's very strange, Xia Yanqing actually responded. Her clear eyes looked at Mrs. Li without any scheming, and she didn't seem to understand Mrs. Li's words, and she didn't think that harmony was a big deal.
Mrs. Li felt Xia Yanqing's inadvertent "oh", which made her fierce momentum lose direction in an instant.
She frowned and continued: "Even a country woman should know the truth of marrying a husband and following her husband, from the beginning to the end. But what about you? However, she made peace with her husband without even saying hello. Grandmother asked me to ask you, do you know what shame is? ”
When Mrs. Jiang heard this undisguised humiliating question, she suddenly changed color.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?" Mrs. Jiang stood up and asked angrily.
"What? Don't the younger siblings think that the mother shouldn't ask? Mrs. Li looked at her, and her tone was extremely cold.
She knew before that the fourth girl had no good life in the Wang family, and even if she married Wang Xi as she wished, she would not be happy for a few days.
But who would have thought that in just four months, she actually took the initiative to reconcile and leave, and the reconciliation was successful!
Sure enough, there is no good teaching, and I don't know how to maintain my face, let alone what it is. When she left the Wang family like this, not only did all the plans of the Xia family's old mansion fail, but what good result did she have?
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang was furious, the Yang and Gao families hurriedly stood behind Mrs. Jiang and looked at the group in the old mansion with frowns.
Mrs. Jiang said: "I am not the only one in this world. Since my son can be reconciled and separated, and not abandoned by his husband's family, that is to say, there is nothing wrong with my son in the matter of separation. And where is the word of shame? ”
Mrs. Li's tone was calm and ordinary: "Brother and sister, you shouldn't ask me what you said, I just came to ask on behalf of my mother." Not only did she have to ask Yanqing, but her mother also asked her younger siblings: In order to let Yanqing have a good son as a husband, my father spent a lot of effort. But the younger siblings only indulge their daughter, but ignore the efforts of their father and the Xia family, do you know that this is unfilial piety and disobedience? ”
Mrs. Jiang trembled with anger, but for a while she couldn't find the right words to refute such accusations.
Gao was not angry, and was about to speak, but heard a plain, but crisp and pleasant voice: "Auntie, niece also has something I don't understand, I want to ask my aunt and grandmother." ”
Everyone in the old mansion was surprised.
It was the fourth girl in the second room who spoke!
She was questioned like this, and she dared to speak! Mrs. Li looked at her with gloomy eyes, let this dead girl have a lotus tongue, can she still say that the matter of reconciliation and separation is a good thing?
Sun and the others also looked at Xia Yanqing with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. At this time, when she was asked such humiliating words, shouldn't she be ashamed and ashamed of herself?
"Yanqing......," Mrs. Jiang said worriedly.
Xia Yanqing gave her a reassuring look and said to Mrs. Li: "Now, the documents for reconciliation have been completed, and all the affairs with the Wang family have been settled, and this matter is irretrievable. Grandmother asked the eldest aunt to come to Xingshi to ask about the sin, what result do you want? ”
Mrs. Li looked clear, turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "Although the fourth girl has been married for a short time, she has also married a wife, and she is not an ignorant girl's family. Could it be that she is also so unruly in her in-law's house? It's no wonder why the Wang family is so happy to give and leave the book, without making any redemption and difficulty. ”
Gao finally couldn't hold back, and said: "Please aunt, don't speculate, my sister-in-law has always been strict in the Wang family, and there is no rudeness." If the eldest aunt doesn't believe it, she can personally find the people of the Wang family to verify. ”
Mrs. Li glanced coldly, "Elder asked, what did you interject?" ”
Xia Yanqing got up, blessed Mrs. Li and Sun, and said: "Auntie, when Yanqing was found back by the second brother and the official at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, I thought that I would have my own home from now on, and I would have the love of my grandfather, grandmother, parents, and uncle......
She looked sneering, and glanced at Mrs. Li and a few cousins, "It turns out that Yan Qing is wrong." Now, Yan Qinghe left his parents' house, and his grandmother immediately sent his aunt to interrogate, but she didn't ask Yan Qinghe the reason for leaving, whether he was wronged.
From Yan Qing's entry into the door to listen to what the eldest aunt said, neither the grandmother nor the eldest aunt and the third aunt had ever asked Yan Qing about the situation in the Wang family, but only thought about how to take the opportunity to humiliate our mother and daughter. ”
Mrs. Li's face was ugly, and she shouted: "Bold, as a junior, you actually speculate and frame your elders so maliciously. This crime alone is enough to imprison you for the rest of your life. ”
Imprisoned for life? Xia Yanqing's eyes stared, and he instantly understood the meaning of the old mansion.
This is thinking about her and returning home, not only did she not find a helpful in-law for the Xia family, but it made the Xia family lose face greatly, so they planned to lock her up in the mansion and let her disappear from everyone's sight, and dilute this matter to the greatest extent.
Thinking about the purpose of the old mansion, Xia Yanqing felt cold.
She sneered: "The banquet was not sensible that day, and he broke up the marriage negotiated between the second master of the Wang family and the Xu family. Now, Yan Qing has repented, what is wrong? The Xia family is a big family, and even the servant women who went out to buy vegetables in our second room have heard that Yanqing has done a frank and right job. Could it be that our Xia clan's view of right and wrong is contrary to the whole world? ”
Her words were loud and sound, like thunder, which instantly made Mrs. Li and Sun's faces change drastically.
How can such a thing be said casually? Even if the Xia family is a big family, they can't be the enemy of the whole world, this is looking for death.
Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were also heartbroken, and Gao's was even more secretly happy, this was not her sister-in-law's nonsense, this was made by the old house.
Mrs. Li said angrily: "You, the fourth girl, do you know what you are talking about? You actually framed the clan elders like this for your own selfishness! ”
Xia Yanqing's eyes lowered, and he was blessed again, and said: "My niece grew up in the wilderness of the countryside, but she also knows right and wrong. The niece just didn't understand what the grandmother and the eldest aunt meant, and asked the eldest aunt for advice, why was the eldest aunt so excited? ”
