Chapter 7: The Quarrel
Early the next morning, as soon as Yan Lingyue had breakfast, Manager Yan hurriedly came over, saying that the queen had sent someone to send a reward, and was now waiting in the front hall.
Yan Lingyue cleaned up a little, and followed Manager Yan to the front hall. As soon as I entered, I saw Yan Yiran and the second aunt sitting on the main seat, and Mama Zhou, who was next to the queen, was sitting in the first place on the right. Several people had smiles on their faces.
"Fifth Miss," Mama Zhou quickly stood up when she saw Yan Lingyue.
Yan Lingyue bowed.
Mama Zhou waved her hand and let the two little eunuchs carry a big box to Yan Lingyue, "These are all given to the queen by the king back then." After the fifth miss left yesterday, the queen praised the fifth miss one after another. also asked the old slave to tell the fifth lady that when he has time, he must often enter the palace to sit down. ”
"Definitely, definitely. When the old lady comes back, she will let the old lady take Yue'er into the palace to thank her in person," Yan resolutely touched her beard and was very happy.
The second aunt looked at the box full of jewelry and cloth, and her eyes were straight. There is no shortage of silver in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but how can the wearing they buy on the market be compared with the royal clothes in the palace. Looking at Mama Zhou's intimacy with Yan Lingyue, and thinking of her daughter walking back to Yan Mansion from the palace yesterday, the jealousy in the second aunt's heart was about to overflow.
Until Mama Zhou left, the second aunt couldn't help but speak, "The reason why the queen will send rewards is for the sake of the lord's face." You are not the only young lady in this house, Ling Yue will definitely not be so selfish. ”
"Yue'er doesn't dare," Yan Lingyue's eyes drooped slightly, and she said to Mr. Yan, "Steward Yan, give these rewards to the queen in four equal parts and send them to the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady respectively." ”
The second aunt didn't expect Yan Lingyue to be so generous, and she was speechless for a while.
Yan resolutely stopped, "Let's carry them all to the courtyard of the fifth lady." ”
"Sir!" The second aunt was unhappy, "Zhihe cried for half the night last night." ”
"She also did it herself," Yan said resolutely, "Why didn't I find out that you were such a childish before?" Is our Prime Minister's Mansion lacking you to eat or are you lacking to wear? Even the queen rewarded Ling Yue with something, you are greedy. ”
"Manager Yan, don't hurry up and carry it to the courtyard of the fifth lady."
Yan resolutely didn't look at the second aunt, threw up her sleeves and left.
In front of so many people, being said to be a little childish, the second aunt was a little untenable.
Yan Lingyue didn't want to stand here as a target, so after leaning over and saluting, she hurriedly left.
Leaving the second aunt alone in the front hall, she couldn't wait to grit her teeth.
The news that Yan Lingyue had been rewarded by the queen soon spread throughout the corners of the Yan Mansion. This means that the queen has recognized Yan Lingyue as her daughter-in-law, and Yan Lingyue has had the queen's support since then.
The maids who used to bully Yan Lingyue in the past all kept their mouths shut, and no one dared to look for trouble anymore.
After Yan Zhihe heard the report, she threw the porcelain in the house to the ground. Why was she blamed, but Yan Lingyue was rewarded. In Yan Zhihe's mind, if Yan Lingyue hadn't kicked the bucket away, she wouldn't have fallen, let alone provoked the Nine Emperors.
Now she must have left a bad impression in the queen's heart, so how can she marry the third prince in the future? The more Yan Zhihe thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and led the maid to Tingyu Pavilion in a hurry.
But as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he met the eldest lady Yan Xiling and the third lady Yan Qingning.
Yan Zhihe snorted lightly, knocked Yan Xiling away, and strode into the courtyard.
In addition to not being used to Yan Lingyue, Yan Zhihe also can't get used to Yan Xiling. What's wrong with the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law is not a mother, her father died early, and her father doesn't love her, and she is not valued in the house. What's wrong with the eldest daughter, no matter how beautiful she looks, the third aunt is not a maid to lift up. In Yan Zhihe's mind, she is the most favored pearl of Yanfu.
But Yan Zhihe forgot that although her mother was in charge of the backyard of the Yan Mansion, she was just a concubine after all!
Looking at the arrogant Yan Zhihe, Yan Qingning was dissatisfied, "Stop!" You bumped into my sister, apologize. ”
As if she hadn't heard, Yan Zhihe raised her head and continued to walk towards the courtyard.
Yan Qingning stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, "I asked you to apologize, did you hear that?" ”
Yan Zhihe, who was already in a bad mood, saw that her new clothes were torn, and she raised her hand to hit Yan Qingning.
Yan Xiling pinched Yan Zhihe's wrist in time, "It's also a concubine, and I don't know what to be arrogant about." You have the ability to continue to bully the fifth sister, and I don't know who was thrown at the gate of the palace by my father yesterday. ”
"Qingning, let's go back," Yan Xiling pulled Yan Qingning, and the two returned the same way.
Yan Zhi trembled angrily. It's all Yan Lingyue's fault, if it weren't for Yan Lingyue, how could she have been left behind by her father!
"Second Miss?" The maids who understood Yan Zhihe's temper stood a little farther away.
Yan Zhihe took out the leather whip on her waist and walked towards Yan Lingyue's room.
Of course Yan Lingyue heard the commotion in the courtyard, but she didn't want to pay attention to it. Still sitting on the soft floor, leisurely flipping through the books.
Yan Lingyue's calmness made Yan Zhihe even more dissatisfied, and she danced towards the dresser in the room with a whip, and even the porcelain flower pots around her also suffered.
"Mama, why don't you invite the master over, let him see that this is the good daughter taught by the second aunt," Looking at the mess all over the ground, Yan Lingyue's eyebrows frowned slightly, she hadn't said anything yet, the initiator came over first.
Before Mama Li walked to the door, she was stopped by Yan Zhihe's whip, "Do you still want to sue?" Have you forgotten what it feels like to be whipped? ”
Yan Lingyue didn't know what had happened, but Mama Li knew, her face immediately changed, and she hurriedly blocked in front of Yan Lingyue, "The fifth miss is the ninth princess, and if the second miss dares to do it, she will commit the following crimes." ”
"The following? Are you committing the following crimes now? Yan Zhihe whipped Mama Li.
Mama Li closed her eyes in fright.
How could Yan Lingyue tolerate Yan Zhihe messing around here, and grabbed the whip when it was about to fall on Mama Li. The pain in the palm of her hand made Yan Lingyue clench her teeth, "Don't call the master yet!" ”
Mama Li dared to hesitate and quickly ran out.
"You, you ......" Seeing that Mama Li really went to call Yan Yiran, Yan Zhihe was scared. In the past, when they bullied Yan Lingyue, Yan Lingyue also said that she was going to find the master, but as soon as she took out the whip, Yan Lingyue was basically honest. But why is it sudden today?
Yan Zhihe wanted to pull out the whip and leave, but Yan Lingyue just didn't let go. Feelings: This Yan Zhihe has whipped her before? Yan Lingyue was a little surprised. The little girl is not very old, how can her heart be so vicious.
Yan Zhihe was in a hurry, so she didn't want the whip at all, and turned around to leave.
Yan Lingyue took the lead and closed the door.
The two confronted each other for a while, and Yan Zhihe couldn't help but roar angrily, "What do you want to do?" ”
Yan Lingyue was happy, "I should ask the second sister about this, right?" As soon as the second sister came over, she danced the whip, and I haven't asked the second sister what she wants to do. ”
"You get out of the way," Yan Zhihe grabbed Yan Lingyue's arm and wanted to open the door.
Yan Lingyue pressed the crack in the door to death, "The second sister caused me to fall into the water twice in a row, how should we calculate this account?" ”
Yan Zhihe was stunned for a moment, "Don't want to lie to me, you had to jump into the lake yesterday." In order to save the Nine Emperors, he didn't even want his life, and he curry favor in front of the king and queen, and now it's my fault? ”
Yan Lingyue was helpless, "If you hadn't deliberately thrown the fish bucket at me, what would happen later?" ”
Yan Zhihe said, "Anyway, this time, I don't recognize it!" ”
"You don't recognize it this time?" Yan Lingyue sneered, "That's to admit that you were the one who made trouble last time I fell into the water?" ”
Yan Zhihe's face turned pale and stammered, "You...... Sling the bull! ”
Originally, it was just a guess, but I didn't expect Yan Zhihe to show her feet so easily, Yan Lingyue felt a chill in her heart, "If you let your father know that you killed your sisters......"
"Shut up!" Yan Zhihe roared, "You want to eavesdrop on me and my mother's conversation, if you didn't listen to it, how could I let the maid go to your business." ”
"What shouldn't be heard, what shouldn't be heard?" Yan Lingyue raised her eyebrows lightly and approached Yan Zhihe, "Is it referring to the fact that the second aunt killed my mother?" ”
"No nonsense! Your mother was killed by you, and died in childbirth to give birth to you. It has nothing to do with my mother, it has nothing to do with it at all," Yan Zhihe flatly denied.
Yan Lingyue sneered, "I heard it all, my mother was killed by the second aunt, the second aunt is the murderer, and your mother is the murderer." ”
"No, it's not!" Yan Zhihe pushed Yan Lingyue away, shaking her head, her whole body trembling. In fact, she only learned not long ago that her wife was drugged to death by her mother. Although Yan Zhihe is arrogant, she relies on her second aunt, and in her mind, the second aunt is the best mother in the world.
Until a few days ago, when she went to find the second aunt to choose embroidered shoes, she overheard the conversation between the second aunt and Qingcui outside the door. She didn't expect her mother to kill someone, she was shocked! I had an argument with my second aunt, and when I ran out, I happened to see Yan Lingyue's figure disappearing at the end of the corridor.
She asked her personal maid to chase after her, but she didn't expect the maid to push Yan Lingyue into the lake by mistake. She hurriedly went to find the second aunt, and as soon as the mother and daughter were combined, it would be easy for Yan Lingyue to die like this.
At this time, the emperor's decree for marriage came down.
First, she didn't want Yan Zhihe to marry a fool, and secondly, she didn't know how much Yan Lingyue had heard, so the second aunt simply blocked it, pulled the master, and invited Lang Zhong to listen to the rain pavilion.
But as soon as Yan Lingyue woke up, she shouted that Mrs. was killed by her second aunt!
The second aunt sighed in her heart, but fortunately, the master didn't believe it! thought that Yan Lingyue was surprised, her head was burned, and she slapped Yan Lingyue. Yan Lingyue was in a hurry and fainted again.
The second aunt pretended to cry for a while, seeing that the old man really didn't believe Yan Lingyue, and he didn't plan to continue to pursue it, so she was relieved. Who ever thought about it now...... Yan Lingyue actually mentioned Madame's death again.
Yan Zhihe was scared.
And Yan Lingyue knew that she was right!
"You also know that murder is a crime? You also know that the second aunt killed the housewife to pay for her life! If it's Daddy......"
"Daddy won't believe it at all!" Yan Zhihe swallowed her saliva and interrupted Yan Lingyue sharply, "Don't forget the slap that Daddy slapped you." What if your mother was killed by my mother? Say it, will anyone believe it? ”
As soon as Yan Zhihe's words fell, the door was pushed open. Yan resolutely stood at the door with his hands behind his back, his eyes were red, "Say what you just said, say it again!" ”
"Daddy," Yan Zhihe collapsed directly to the ground in fright.
Yan resolutely strode up to Yan Zhihe, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her up, "I'll let you say Fang Cai's words again." ”
"No, Daddy, listen to me," Yan Zhihe grabbed the hem of Yan Yiran's clothes, tears welling up in her eyes.
Yan resolutely took a breath and said to Mama Li, "Go and call the second aunt immediately." ”
Looking at Mama Li's distant back, Yan Lingyue said word by word, "I still hope that my father will be the master of my mother." ”
