Chapter 7: Counterattack
Mrs. Rong said: "I originally wanted to save face for Sister Fan'er, but if you have to ask clearly, it's no wonder that we don't show affection." ”
Wu pulled Zhao Fan, scolded and cried: "You foolish child, who can teach you to learn those vicious calculations and tell you to frame others." Zhao Fan was beaten, and he didn't dodge, so he took it stiffly: "Sister-in-law, Fan'er is wrong, Fan'er shouldn't do such a thing." ”
Wu said sadly: "You were originally a pure and well-behaved child, and when I wanted to take you into the Hou Mansion, I originally wanted to make your life more comfortable, and you didn't have to suffer with us, if you knew that you would do something wrong." I'm just desperate to make you hate me, and I'm going to keep you. In the naked words, it was implied intentionally or unintentionally that it was not her fault that Zhao Fan did something wrong, but that the Hou Mansion had taught her badly.
Rong Feng's eyes raised slightly: "According to what you mean, not only did I have no grace for my Ronghou Mansion to take in Sister Fan, but now she has made a mistake and become our sin." There is no robber logic like you in the world. ”
Wu looked at Rong Feng, blinked and said, "The girl can speak well, I just don't mean that, and I have what you said." As my sister's sister-in-law, I am angry that she has framed you for not knowing the severity, but I also feel sorry for her for her unclean reputation......"
"My poor sister is useless as a sister-in-law, and she can't get justice for you. If you have in-laws for one day, you will also be peaceful and smooth for the rest of your life, if you teach your husband's family to know, how can you be a lady who commits trouble. Wu let go of Zhao Fan and cried.
She suddenly knelt down, crawled in front of Mrs. Rong and begged: "Old lady, you are a living bodhisattva in the world, you have raised our sister for so many years, even if you don't miss your sister's early death, you must also remember that she has served you with all her heart and soul for many years, although she is your granddaughter, she is more dedicated than her own granddaughter." ”
Rong Feng's heart sank, Wu said this with the intention of punishing his heart, his granddaughter did her best, and her own granddaughter meant slackness and disrespect.
Rong Feng opened a pair of black and white eyes, and said with a smile: "I don't understand much when my sister-in-law says this." If grandmother is really angry with her sister, she can ask someone to pack up the box, and a carriage will send her back to the Zhao family. ”
Wu knelt down in front of Mrs. Rong, her face seemed to be unhappy when she looked at her with sharp eyes, and she was about to open her mouth to distinguish, but Rong Feng took the lead: "It is a matter of course for my sister to honor her grandmother, not to mention that my sister also said that my grandmother has the grace of reinvention for her, and now there is no reason to ask for retribution." A few years ago, my grandmother was sick, and the second sister knocked from the gate of the shadow plum hermitage to the main hall step by step, if it weren't for the filial piety of my sister outside, my grandmother was afraid that she would still be hidden. ”
She stared at Wu and said word by word: "Sister-in-law, I still think that the granddaughter next to my grandmother is not as good as Sister Fan's granddaughter." ”
Old Madam Rong listened to Rong Feng's words, thinking of the Yuan girl who was implicated because of Zhao Fan, and her heart became cold again.
Wu seemed to be forced a little anxious by Rong Feng's words, his eyes were red, his hand trembled slightly at Rong Feng, and he said without hesitation: "Even if our sister has done something wrong, she has only been educated by your Hou Mansion to do this kind of thing...... Old lady, if your Hou Mansion can't give our Zhao family an explanation, I will go out and say that your Hou Mansion has taught a good girl badly, forced people to commit suicide by taking poison, and still wants to drive people out for no reason. ”
Old Madam Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shouted: "Brother An's family, you have to speak with conscience." ”
Wu Shi was startled, and said stiffly with a stiff neck: "Old lady, your Hou Mansion is tall and powerful, but you have to be afraid of people's words. If you don't let our sister live, then what am I afraid of. ”
There was silence for a moment, a long silence.
Zhao Fan looked at Mrs. Rong uneasily and quietly, knowing that her sister-in-law was not speaking properly, but now she can't take care of much, so she can only stay in Ronghou Mansion, and she will have the opportunity to make Mrs. Rong soft-hearted and get close to those high-ranking children, and she is afraid that there will be no way out for prosperity and wealth in the future.
Rong Feng stared at the Wu clan and said coldly:
"I allow the Hou Mansion to take in and raise Sister Fan as the first grace, you use the relationship of the Hou Mansion to make a living, and everything is the sign of the Hou Mansion, which is the second grace, and Sister Fan has committed a crime, and my Hou Mansion has not been more reproached, and has not made any public claims that it is the third grace. But you are still the white-eyed wolf that you can't raise. ”
Zhao Fan saw that the Wu family was shocked by Rong Feng, and begged: "Grandmother, my sister-in-law said the wrong thing because she felt sorry for me, please don't blame her...... I just have thousands of nos, and they are all my fault, why should the fourth sister speak so harshly, without leaving half a face, and send her resentment on my sister-in-law. ”
"I know that the fourth sister blames me for being narrow-minded and calculating you, but if it weren't for the fact that day you said at the Qingzhou banquet that day that I was a down-and-out family who came to the Hou Mansion to fight the autumn wind, and let me suffer the cold eyes and ridicule of those girls from the family...... I was angry in my heart, and I thought about it for a while, although I was wrong, wasn't the fourth sister wrong? Zhao Fan's red eyes glared at Rong Feng.
