The two mothers-in-law looked at Lin Xiaozhu's back as he walked farther and farther away, and then glanced at each other, their expressions were a little solemn.

Ma Pozi said: "In my opinion, let's forget it." If the son knew about this, the punishment would not be small. Didn't you listen to Mama Wu last night? This Lin Xiaozhu is a special cook ordered by the son, and it is not something that we little people can afford to offend. Listen to the rain girl to make a stumbling block for her, just do it yourself. She has a strong relationship with Childe, even if Childe knows, it is just a reprimand. It's like us, when the son is angry, his life is difficult to protect. Don't be at that time, Childe doesn't punish the girl who listens to the rain, but only uses us to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. ”

"We didn't do anything, did we? It's just a matter of standing by and watching. This morning, Lao Wang asked the two of us not to come, do you dare to come? Lao Wang's qualifications are old, but the prince sent him, even the son also saw a little affection, and he listened to the rain girl to help talk in front of the son. When the time comes, I offended Lao Wang for this matter, and as soon as this Lin Xiaozhu leaves, Lao Wang won't use the excuse to fire us all? Mrs. Li's face was full of helplessness.

"Forget it, it's done, it's useless to regret it. Hurry up and get your things back. Ma Pozi patted the invisible dust on her clothes and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Lin Xiaozhu walked through the alley and arrived at Yuan Tianye's main courtyard. I saw that there was no sound in the courtyard, but the door of the main house was wide open, and a handsome little girl was sprinkling water and was about to sweep the yard; Tingyu stood in front of the house, not knowing what he was thinking.

Hearing the sound, both of them turned their heads and looked at Lin Xiaozhu.

"Listen to Miss Rain, I brought Childe's breakfast." Although he didn't know if the play this morning was related to this girl who listened to the rain, Lin Xiaozhu still spoke quietly.

Tingyu squinted his eyes and swept Lin Xiaozhu, and said lightly: "Childe didn't come back last night." ”

Expected. Lin Xiaozhu bowed slightly. And he turned and went out.

As he walked near the corner gate, he heard a noise at the gate of the courtyard. Lin Xiaozhu stopped and turned around. Tingyu's face changed, and then he hurriedly went out.

Before she could take two steps, Yuan Tianye stepped into the threshold, followed by Yuan Shi who was carrying the medicine box, and then Steward Zhang. Yuan Tianye's face was full of tiredness, and he was tired, obviously he didn't sleep all night last night.

"Childe, are you back?" Listen to the rain and take two more steps. A bright smile on his face.

Yuan Tianye nodded slightly, but at a glance he saw Lin Xiaozhu standing next to the corner gate, and a smile appeared on his face: "Lin Xiaozhu, what delicious food did you make for my son?" Hurriedly presented it. It's been a busy night, and I'm really hungry. ”

"Childe." Listening to the sound of the rain is much more coquettish than usual. "There is bird's nest in the house, I simmered it with a silver hanging overnight, and I am waiting for you to come back."

"Didn't you say that Lin Xiaozhu made breakfast?" Yuan Tianye didn't appreciate it. As he walked, he frowned slightly and said, "You have taken care of all the cooking work, didn't I feed the cook for nothing?" ”

Tingyu was choked by this sentence and bit his lip tightly. Looking at Lin Xiaozhu's eyes, his eyes became more and more gloomy.

At this time, Yuan Tianye had already strode into the hall. The snow sweeper in the house hurriedly scooped up water and waited for him to wash his face and hands.

"Mama Wu. I haven't been back for a long time, and the people in the courtyard seem to be getting more and more unruly! Yuan Tianye wiped his hand, threw it into the basin, took the teacup handed over by Mama Wu, took a sip of tea, raised his eyes and said.

"What the son taught me is that the old slave must be disciplined well." Mama Wu said with a smile.

Yuan Tianye put down the teacup and looked at the door: "Lin Xiaozhu, come in, bring breakfast." ”

"Yes." Lin Xiaozhu responded. Raise your feet and step forward, ready to step over the scarlet threshold.

And Tingyu, who squeezed to her side just now, quietly stretched out a foot. tripped Lin Xiaozhu with one foot behind him.

Listening to the rain that he didn't have a good impression of just now, he squeezed to his side, and Lin Xiaozhu felt different. At this time, I was already on guard. deliberately made her stumble, staggered forward, stabilized her body, and then grabbed before Tingyu spoke, and turned back very aggrievedly: "Tingyu girl, what are you tripping me for?" ”

Everyone's eyes were on Tingyu.

Because it is necessary to block zombies whose knees cannot bend into the house, and at the same time prevent wealth from leaking, the thresholds of ancient buildings are built extremely high. Hearing that Yu already has martial arts, and he is afraid that he has a corner of the door and a high threshold to block it, and everyone can't see it, so he is ready to trip Lin Xiaozhu down, so that he can take advantage of the chaos to sweep away the food in her hand, and prevent Yuan Tianye from tracking down what happened this morning. But I didn't want this Lin Xiaozhu to be extremely sensitive, although he tripped and stumbled, he didn't fall.

She was unlucky in her heart, so she had to pretend to be innocent, and said with surprise on her face: "Little bamboo girl, why do you say this?" When have I ever tripped you? ”

"Oh, it's possible that I felt wrong, I'm sorry." Lin Xiaozhu bit his lip, lowered his eyes and apologized repeatedly. Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Tianye, put the tray in his hand on the table, and then took out the dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of Yuan Tianye.

Seeing everyone's gaze, I was so angry that I heard the rain. If Lin Xiaozhu doesn't give up, she can still argue a few words and cover up the past. But Lin Xiaozhu's calm and angry little daughter-in-law has aroused everyone's deeper suspicions. She wanted to argue again, but it seemed that she was a thief.

Unexpectedly, this country girl is so scheming!

Listening to the rain looking at Lin Xiaozhu's gaze, it became more and more gloomy.

Yuan Tianye saw all the changes in the expression on Tingyu's face and the emotions in his eyes, and then withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Xiaozhu. Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu was still calm and peaceful, as if what had just happened had not affected her mood at all, his heart couldn't help but calm down.

"Hey, how do you make white porridge?" Mama Wu, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but scream when she saw the things Lin Xiaozhu scooped out of the small jar. Then he turned his face and shouted even louder: "A plate of kimchi? ”

She turned her face, looked at Lin Xiaozhu, and scolded: "Childe hasn't slept all night, he is exhausted, and he needs nourishment." What do you mean by doing such a thing? ”

"Mama Wu!" Yuan Tianye interrupted her.

"Yes, the old slave is here." Mama Wu bowed her head and bent down, quietly listening to his instructions.

Yuan Tianye ignored her anymore, raised his head to look at Lin Xiaozhu, and said, "Lin Xiaozhu, what's going on, tell me." ”

"There was nothing in the kitchen except a little rice and a jar of kimchi, and the firewood was wet. Steward Zhang was not at home, so there was no way to find him to get the ingredients, so Xiaozhu had to make such a breakfast. Lin Xiaozhu said.

"Childe ......" took a step forward when he heard the rain, and was about to enter the gluttonous words, and gave Lin Xiaozhu the crime to sit down. But she didn't want to "snap", Yuan Tianye slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the teacup suddenly shattered to the ground, and the broken porcelain slag and tea almost splashed on her body. Immediately afterwards, I heard Yuan Tianye shouting angrily: "When did my Yuan Mansion become so poor? ”

There was silence in the hall!

Everyone was stunned, standing there like a wood carving, and they didn't dare to come out. In this hall, except for Xue Qing and Lin Xiaozhu, they have all been waiting for Yuan Tianye since he returned to China when he was ten years old. But in the past eight years, everyone has never seen Yuan Tianye get angry.

But at this moment, Yuan Tianye's face was pale, his silver teeth were clenched, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, and his eyes were cold. Apparently angry to the extreme.

What made Childe so angry and angry? Everyone couldn't help but recall what had just happened again, wanting to see if they had remembered anything wrong.

But before everyone could think clearly, Yuan Tianye spoke coldly again: "Lao Zhang, you find out the matter." I want to be clear and clear, and I am not allowed to shield anyone. If there's something wrong, I'm the only one to ask. ”

"Yes, yes, I'll check it out right away." Steward Zhang wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly retreated.

A chill came up from the soles of Tingyu's feet and down her back, and she felt chills all over. But the sweat on his body wet the dirty clothes.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaozhu in a daze, she couldn't understand why Gongzi was so angry just for her to say a few words, and he didn't even ask the reason for the matter, he believed that what she said was the truth, and he was bound to investigate the matter to the end.

Mama Wu glanced at Tingyu with some pity, and turned to Lin Xiaozhu's gaze with a touch of deep thought.

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and sweep the floor clean. Yuan Tianye's anger was still not smooth, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Yes, yes, the slave will sweep it right away, and it will be swept right away." Tingwu ran out like a rabbit, then took the broom and entered the door again, carefully and neatly sweeping the broken porcelain pieces on the ground into the dustpan.

When the snow was cleared, Yuan Tianye stretched out his hand, picked up the porridge on the table, and ate the kimchi. Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly moved the tray aside so that he could eat better.

Just now, it really scared her. She always thought that Yuan Tianye was kind and generous. But it's scary enough for a good-tempered person to start a fire.

"Mama Wu......" Listening to the rain, she stood there, not daring to move. I am afraid that this move will make Childe think of her as a person, so as to send fire to her. I had to raise my face, and while Yuan Tianye was immersed in drinking porridge, he gently opened his mouth and called Mama Wu.

Mama Wu caught a glimpse of Tingyu's pleading gaze, sighed in her heart, and asked cautiously. "Childe, I'll scoop a bowl of bird's nest for you, okay?"

"No, I'll eat this." Yuan Tianye refused.

Mama Wu looked at Tingyu, shook her head helplessly, gently retreated to the corner, took a rag, and gently wiped off the tea stains on the other chairs.

These people are all princesses who are worried about their son, for fear that others will not take good care of them, so they are specially selected from the grandmothers and maids around them to serve their son. Childe has always had a lot of respect for them. And he didn't stay here for long, only a month or two a year. So they have always been at peace with each other. Even if someone usually does something wrong, Childe gently reprimands a few words, and it's over. If it weren't for the princess who sent people to hear her face from time to time, they would have been more and more unruly.

It seems that this time, Childe is going to use this incident to make an example of the chicken. (To be continued)
