Body Chapter 59: Aftermath 3
"No, Mother Jiang didn't stay in the yard for long," Yuyan shook her head, and said, "When I went out, Mother Jiang met Sister Pomegranate, and the two said a few words in the yard, and after that, Mother Jiang left quickly." ”
Pomegranate is the second-class maid next to Mrs. Tai, and she is a slave with a bit of face.
Wei Man looked around the courtyard, which was much quieter than usual, and thought that Jiang's mother originally intended to intercede for her daughter-in-law, but when she realized the unusual atmosphere of the main house, she wisely chose to leave.
"Third Sister ......"
The sleeves were gently shaken.
Wei Man lowered her head, but saw Wei Yun looking at her with tears in her eyes.
"Fifth sister," Wei Man was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”
"Daddy......" Crystal tears rolled out, and Wei Yun sobbed and read: "Daddy, why didn't he come back......"
Wei Man was surprised at first, and after understanding what Wei Yun was thinking, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart.
Zhenguo Hou Wei Bai, for Wei Man, is just a familiar name, but for Wei Yun, it is her father who is in love day and night.
"Fifth sister, don't cry," Wei Man gently wiped the tears on Wei Yun's cheeks with a handkerchief, and comforted him gently: "My father must have been busy with official business, so he couldn't spare time to go back to Beijing for the New Year, and the fifth sister should be considerate of ...... father."
"Hmmm! I know," although the look on her face was very aggrieved, Wei Yun still held back her crying sensibly, and forced: "Daddy is all for the house...... Daddy will be back in the next year......"
"Yes!" Wei Man touched Wei Yun's hair and said with a smile: "The fifth sister is so sensible and reasonable, when my father is free, I will definitely go back to Beijing to see the fifth sister's ...... as soon as possible."
A few more words of comfort.
Wei Man took Wei Yun's hand and walked towards the main room.
The little maid standing at the door hurriedly squatted down to salute the two, and then went into the inner room to tell Mrs. Tai.
Wei Yun held Wei Man's hand in reverse.
"Don't be afraid," Wei Man held Wei Yun's hand tightly, and whispered to Wei Yun who was hesitant, "Let's go in together." ”
"Hmm!" Wei Yun nodded vigorously, but looked at the curtain in the inner room with a timid look.
This can't blame Wei Yun for being timid, when facing Mrs. Tai on weekdays, Wei Yun is speechless, let alone going to see Mrs. Tai who is in a very bad mood.
Wei Man looked at Wei Yun and sighed slightly in distress.
There was also a little maid who lightly opened the curtain.
As soon as Wei Man entered the inner room, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was particularly heavy, and Wei Yun held Wei Man's hand harder.
While walking, Wei Man quickly glanced at the position of the head, but saw that Mrs. Tai was looking at her and Wei Yun with frost on her face, the corner of her eyes jumped, Wei Man hurriedly lowered her head, respectfully walked to the middle of the room, and squatted down to salute.
After the salute, looking up again, Wei Man called with a smile: "Ancestral ......"
Before the grandmother could finish speaking, suddenly, a white shadow smashed straight towards Wei Man and Wei Yun.
Wei Yun was already frightened, frozen in place like a wooden chicken.
When the lightning was blazing, Wei Man pulled Wei Yun over.
"Bump!"
A delicate white porcelain tea cup flew past Wei Yun's cheek and fell to the ground not far behind the two of them.
Suddenly, the room was as quiet as if the air had stopped flowing.
Wei Man's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly pulled Wei Yun, who was still stupid, to kneel, and Wei Ya, Wei Xian and Wei Feng quickly got up from their seats.
The five sisters knelt in two rows in the center of the room.
"Grandmother is angry," Wei Man tried to control her voice, trying to hide the true emotions in her heart, that is, humbly and respectfully, "It's all granddaughter's, it's the granddaughter who pulled her fifth sister to gossip at the door for a while, but accidentally missed the time to greet grandmother...... Grandmother can punish her granddaughter however she wants, but you must not get angry and hurt your granddaughter because of her......"
Although she had tried her best, Wei Man's tone still sounded a little tight, she thought of the tea cup that wiped her face with Wei Yun, and secretly clenched her fists, that was Wei Yun's face, how important was the face of an ancient woman...... Even if it was just a little slower just now, what kind of life Wei Yun would face, Wei Man couldn't even imagine.
Although he was very angry in his heart, Wei Man was also thinking about the reason for Mrs. Tai's sudden move.
Mrs. Tai doesn't like Wei Yun, this is something that everyone in the house knows, but after all, Wei Yun is Mrs. Tai's own granddaughter, and she is a descendant, and she is only affected by her biological mother Chang, she herself has not done anything wrong...... Therefore, Mrs. Tai ignores Weiyun.
However, the purpose of the teacup just now was very clear, that is, to smash it at Weiyun.
If Wei Yun really hurts her face because of this, then Wei Yun's life will be ruined, but the good reputation that Mrs. Tai has built up for decades will be gone, which is obviously a lose-lose thing, not at all like Mrs. Tai's style of acting......
Wei Man raised his eyes, quietly looked up, and saw that Mother Wu was whispering something while giving Mrs. Tai a breath.
Although she couldn't hear Mother Wu's words clearly, and only looked at a side face of Mrs. Tai, Wei Man obviously noticed that Mrs. Tai was no longer violent just now.
Thinking that Mrs. Tai lost her hand in anger for a while, Wei Man frowned, and couldn't help but think, why did Mrs. Tai lose control of her emotions when she saw Wei Yun?
Wei Man immediately thought of the Chang family who was far away in the northern Xinjiang, could it be that Wei Bai couldn't go back to Beijing for the New Year and had something to do with the Chang family, and Mrs. Tai couldn't attack the Chang family, so she once again turned her anger on Wei Yun's body......
After all, this is not the time to think about this, Wei Man shook his head slightly, and waved away the cluttered thoughts in his mind.
Since you know that what Mrs. Tai is doing is anger, it is better to follow Mrs. Tai and let her dissipate her anger as soon as possible.
Wei Man secretly tugged at Wei Yun's sleeve, hoping that Wei Yun could also say a few good words to please Mrs. Tai.
It's a pity that Wei Yun was still trembling with fright, she knelt tightly against Wei Man, trying to shrink her body, as if she wanted to disappear from Mrs. Tai's eyes, in such a situation, where could she still say a word.
Wei Man pulled twice, but failed, so he had to give up resignedly, comforting himself in his heart, it was okay if Wei Yun didn't speak, with the current situation, maybe as soon as Wei Yun spoke, Mrs. Tai's anger might be even stronger.
"Grandmother, don't be angry," Wei Ya, as the longest of the five sisters, naturally wanted to take the lead in saying something at this time, her voice was obviously nervous, and she said loudly: "...... Greeting my grandmother is a big thing for our sisters to do, but the third and fifth sisters gossip about the wrong time, which is too undeserved...... Grandmother rest assured, next time, the granddaughter will definitely supervise the ...... of the third and fifth sisters"
Get......
Du Kuaiming said that the granddaughter of Zhenguo Houfu was unfilial, and Mrs. Tai was unkind.
Wei Man closed his eyes, and he really had nothing to say about Wei Ya's stupidity regardless of the occasion.
"Humph!"
Sure enough, before Wei Ya's words were finished, Mrs. Tai snorted coldly.
Wei Ya immediately froze in fright.
"Get out of here!" Mrs. Tai pointed at the five people and shouted, but she looked like she was about to be angry.
The five of them hesitated and did not dare to move.
Mother Wu glanced at Wei Ya, seemed to smile helplessly, and then held Mrs. Tai's hand while persuading: "Mrs. Tai, why are you ......?"
Mother Wu persuaded a few words, and then turned to the five sisters kneeling in the room and said, "A few young ladies should retreat first." ”
Several people looked at Mother Wu with hesitant expressions,
Mother Wu showed a smile and said, "Let's go back first, when Mrs. Tai is free, I will call the young ladies to come over and talk." ”
The five sisters glanced at Mrs. Tai with a stiff face again, kowtowed, and then quietly retreated.
Wei Man almost carried Wei Yun out of the inner room.
The curtain was raised, and the maids of the sisters hurriedly greeted them.
"Oops!" Weiyun's eldest girl held Weiyun who seemed to be unable to stand steadily, and asked softly, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Wei Yun grabbed Miao Yan's hand tightly and shook her head, but the big tears slipped down silently.
Miao Yan frowned slightly, she glanced at the direction of the inner room, closed her mouth and didn't ask anything anymore, but quickly tied the cloak to Wei Yun.
A group of mermaids walked out of the gate of Xi Garden.
The moment they stepped out of the courtyard door, everyone couldn't help but let out a long breath, as if the air outside the Xiyuan Garden was much fresher.
Wei Ya glanced at Wei Man with her spare eyes, and said coldly into the air: "It's all your fault!" ”
Without waiting for others to speak, Wei Ya "hummed" and turned her head and walked in the direction of the second room.
"Eldest sister," Wei Xian hurriedly chased after her, and called, "Eldest sister, wait for me......"
Wei Feng looked pensive, didn't say anything, and quietly left with the maid.
Soon, Wei Yun, Wei Man and the two maids were left in the same place.
Wei Man turned around, took Wei Yun's hand, and walked slowly towards the courtyard of the third room together.
The wonderful words who followed behind the two were full of surprise, gossiping with Swift and looking at Wei Man from time to time.
"Third sister," Wei Yun sobbed with a very obvious look of fear on her face, "Grandmother, she, she was ...... just now"
"Fifth sister, don't think about it." Wei Man said in a calm tone: "Grandmother is just in a bad mood for a while, that's why she almost missed and hurt you, the fifth sister has to believe that what just happened, grandmother, she didn't mean it." ”
"No, it's not ......" Wei Yun shook her head, as if thinking of the situation again, her body couldn't help but tremble again, and her face showed a look of panic.
Wei Yun is just a helpless ten-year-old child, if you don't remove the shadow just now, Wei Man thought, the timid and sensitive Wei Yun, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep at night.
