Chapter 10: Aunt Zhang makes a fuss
Shen Xiu and Li Yingluo walked around the dock street for half an afternoon, and Shen Xiu went to the pharmacy again, and it was already a little late when he returned to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
gave the driver a penny, and the two entered the house through the back corner door.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate of Tingfeng Xuan, I saw the little girl Hui'er greet her, and said anxiously: "The two sisters are back." ”
Li Yingluo said: "Is the uncle back?" ”
"It's not an uncle, it's a wife." Hui'er said with an anxious face.
Shen Xiu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's Aunt Zhang, she went to his wife to complain, saying that Sister Xiu gave the second miss some medicine, which made the second miss sick." Hui'er said anxiously, worried: "The mother-in-law in the wife's room has been here a few times, and she has been looking for her sister." ”
The master is not there, and it is nothing for the girl to go out secretly, such as Red Sleeves and Tian Xiang also went home.
Now it is Aunt Zhang who sued Shen Xiu, but the housemother summoned but could not find anyone, and she will definitely be severely punished.
"I will not spare them what will be avenged." Li Yingluo was immediately furious.
Shen Xiu's face was gloomy, but he didn't see panic, handed the medicinal materials in his hand to Li Yingluo, and said, "I'll go change my clothes." ”
Mrs. Cheng doesn't care about Cheng Erniang's life or death, but if she diagnoses and prescribes medicine to Cheng Erniang, she must have committed Mrs. Cheng's taboo.
I caught her going out privately while on duty, and I'm afraid today's thing is not good.
"Yo, the girl is finally back."
Just as Shen Xiu turned around to leave, he heard a strange voice from behind him.
It is Mrs. Cheng's confidant of the Fucai family, and she is also Mrs. Cheng's dowry, and she has a lot of complaints about the Shen family, and she even hates Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu had to stop.
"I still think I'm a young lady, and I don't keep my duty when I am a slave. It's a shame that you're not a young lady, otherwise men wouldn't know how many to steal. The Fucai family sneered, "What kind of clothes do you want to change, but my wife has been waiting for you." ”
Li Yingluo frowned angrily when she heard this, and just wanted to speak, but Shen Xiu was pulling Li Yingluo.
At this time, it was not interesting to quarrel with the Fucai family, and there was no reason for the quarrel.
"Humph!" The Fucai family snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Shen Xiu patted Li Yingluo's hand, signaled her to calm down, and then followed the Fucai family and went to Mrs. Cheng's courtyard.
At this time, in Mrs. Cheng's main room, Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang were kneeling on the ground.
They came at noon, and they were kneeling until now, and their legs were numb. Mrs. Cheng neither let them get up nor give them a sip of water, but let them kneel.
"I want to see the master, I want to see the master......" Aunt Zhang cried.
Tossing so far, they are also exhausted, but they are still unconvinced.
Cheng Erniang had already recovered after taking the medicine, but in order to frame Mrs. Cheng in front of the Plains Marquis. She asked Cheng Erniang to pretend to be sick, and then took the prescription prescribed by Shen Xiu and went to the front study to find Pingyuanhou.
It's just that my luck is very bad, and before I can get out of the second door, I was stopped by the mother-in-law of the Laifu family and escorted to Mrs. Cheng.
"Haven't the people come back yet?" Mrs. Cheng asked, and the longer she waited, the more angry she became, and the anger on her face could hardly be concealed.
Before he finished speaking, he heard the little girl at the door say, "Shen Xiu is here......"
The Fucai family entered the door first, and Shen Xiu followed closely.
Seeing Shen Xiu enter the door, Mrs. Cheng's eyes were even more angry.
"I've seen my wife." Shen Xiu stepped forward and saluted.
Mrs. Cheng stared at Shen Xiu, pursed her lips tightly, and finally let out a breath of anger in her chest, pointing at Shen Xiu and scolding: "Sure enough, it's a conscienceless thing, I should leave you in the workshop and let you ride thousands of people across it." ”
Shen Xiu knelt down without saying a word.
Whether it has anything to do with her or not, it is useless to defend in front of Mrs. Cheng.
The prejudice is too deep to be corrected, and she doesn't intend to do so.
"Madam, do you still want to quibble, she is your maiden niece's daughter, and you are naturally a litter." Aunt Zhang cried and said, but hugged Cheng Erniang, who was kneeling next to her, and said: "I am a concubine and a slave, I accept my fate, but Erniang is the biological daughter of the master, and she is the young lady of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion." As a mother-in-law, the wife instructed her niece and nephew to poison her, woo, woo...... Old lady, if you have a spirit in the sky, you must bless Erniang. ”
From the beginning, her target was not Shen Xiu'er, but Mrs. Cheng.
When Mrs. Cheng was alive, if Mrs. Cheng dared to do such a thing, she would be punished for copying scriptures, and if she didn't do it, she would divorce her wife directly.
Now that Mrs. Cheng has passed away, she and Cheng Erniang were sent to the back cover building, and everyone in the family stepped on them.
Now that she has finally caught a big deal from Mrs. Cheng, she wanted to make a fuss in front of Pingyuanhou, she and Pingyuanhou are cousins, and Cheng Erniang is a daughter, and they all occupy the name of the truth.
What she didn't expect was that she didn't even see anyone from the Pingyuan Hou Mansion, but just like that, she also had to make a fuss in front of Mrs. Cheng.
It's best to make trouble with Pingyuan Hou and publicize Mrs. Cheng's evil deeds in the mansion, so that she can't raise her head.
"Heh~" Mrs. Cheng smiled and looked at Aunt Zhang with disdain, "Idiot." ”
Aunt Zhang continued to shout: "I'm going to find my master, my son, you are so miserable." ”
Cheng Erniang lay in Aunt Zhang's arms, and also cried: "I'm so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable......"
Shen Xiu knelt silently, and a little emotion welled up in her heart.
In her opinion, Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang have fallen to such a miserable state, and they must be the people who have been bullied and hurt.
The steward didn't even invite the doctor, she took out the pulse diagnosis and prescription, even if Aunt Zhang didn't appreciate it, but she had been so miserable, she wouldn't cause anything.
Who would have thought that people's ambitions were so big, and they even thought about counterattacking.
"Miss is sick, I don't call the steward to ask for a doctor, but I go to call a girl to diagnose the disease, who will call Shen Xiu." Mrs. Cheng said suddenly.
There are few people in the back cover building, but like this kind of Aunt Zhang's master, there are still girls who work hard for them.
In order to prevent today's incident from happening again, such a girl must not stay.
Aunt Zhang shouted loudly and said, "It's the companion, she is the one who called." She can testify that the prescription was prescribed by your niece, which harmed Erniang. ”
Shen Xiu sighed silently in her heart, for the sake of her companion.
As a girl, she can be loyal, but it's a pity that the master is too stupid, and I'm afraid that the end will be miserable.
"Tell the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, call someone to come and sell the companion far away." Mrs. Cheng said to the Fucai family.
The Plains Hou Mansion has not sold people for many years, and the girl is not good, so it will be heavy to throw it out.
But like Aunt Zhang, she has been disgusted for too many years. She must let the whole house know that those who are loyal to Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang will be sold.
"Yes." The Fucai family responded and hurried to pass the word.
Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted, "Why did you sell your companion?" I see, you're trying to sell your ID card. ”
She doesn't care about the life or death of her companion, the girl should die for her master.
But if the companion is sold, wouldn't there be one less witness, and when the Pingyuan Hou comes, won't he be able to testify against Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng didn't pay attention to it at all, her anger was only on Shen Xiu now, and she ordered the mother-in-law beside her: "Pull them away and lock them in the back building." Since the second lady has a stomachache, don't eat it, just give it water, and talk about it after being hungry for a few days. ”
Isn't it going to make trouble, I don't give anything to eat, I'm half hungry, and naturally I don't have the strength to make trouble.
"Yes." Mother-in-law should respond.
Several mothers-in-law stepped forward and dragged Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang up.
When dragging Aunt Zhang, it took a little effort. She is fat and heavy, and it is really difficult to pull.
"What are you going to do, what are you going to do?" Aunt Zhang shouted.
Cheng Erniang hugged Aunt Zhang even tightly, crying and shouting: "Are you going to rebel, I am the young lady of the Pingyuan Hou Mansion." ”
Mrs. Cheng died eight years ago, when she was seven years old.
Before the age of seven, she had been raised by Mrs. Cheng's side, and she was the daughter of the noble daughter in this Hou Mansion. Mrs. Cheng's Cheng Yuanniang is not as good as her, and such an environment has also developed her current temper.
It's a pity that Mrs. Cheng herself is also a fool, and Cheng Erniang, who taught her, is also a fool.
"Hmph~~" Mrs. Cheng sneered, and couldn't help but think of the past back then, arousing hatred for Aunt Zhang and Cheng Erniang. said: "The girl sells it, and the aunt sells it." ”
She is still too soft-hearted, this mother and daughter should not have stayed in the house for a long time.
It's tortured every day, and after being tortured for several years, she is also a little bored. Especially if he's so stupid, he doesn't understand everything, and he's not interested in tossing.
"What do you say, what do you say!!" Aunt Zhang screamed, rushed straight at Mrs. Cheng, and shouted: "I am the daughter of the Zhang family, the old lady's niece, and the master's cousin." You dare to say that you sell me, why do you want to sell me. ”
Her tonnage is too big, and the two mothers-in-law can't hold her. Now that she rushed suddenly, her mother-in-law was almost caught off guard and pounced on Mrs. Cheng.
Mrs. Cheng sat on the Taishi's chair, and although she didn't pounce, she was still startled.
Especially although Aunt Zhang didn't pounce on her, the spit Xingzi sprayed on her face, which made her even more angry.
"Someone, someone!!" Mrs. Cheng was suddenly angry, clapped her hand on the arm of the chair, and shouted angrily.
The maid who was waiting outside suddenly rushed up, and more than a dozen people stepped forward and immediately pressed Aunt Zhang down.
Mrs. Cheng's face flushed angrily, and she pointed at Aunt Zhang and said, "Call the matchmaker, untie her deed, and drive her out of the house immediately." ”
The aunt also asks for a deed when she enters the door, although it is not like the marriage letter in the main room, but it also has a certain legal efficiency.
Aunt Zhang is a civilian, and it is a trouble to be beaten to death.
Released the deed and let her leave the house. The current Zhang family has long been defeated, and it is better for her to die outside than to die in the house.
"Why did you drive me away, I also have a marriage certificate." Aunt Zhang shouted loudly.
Cheng Erniang was also frightened, she wanted to make a fuss and embarrass Mrs. Cheng, but where did she think that Mrs. Cheng would drive away Aunt Zhang.
"I am a wife, and you are a concubine." Mrs. Cheng said coldly, "If you hadn't made a mistake yourself, you had to be this concubine, how could you end up like this." ”
