Chapter 17: Look at the joke
There was a sudden sound, like a teacup being shattered abruptly.
Xiao Chen was startled, worried that something would happen to his two daughters, so he forced his fear and opened the curtain and went in.
After entering, she saw the old lady staring at Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang with an unkind expression, her face was gloomy, as if she could drip water.
Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang knelt on the ground side by side, biting their lips tightly, their faces were pale, a teacup was smashed next to their knees, tea and tea were splashed everywhere, some splashed on their faces, looking very embarrassed.
Xiao Chen's heartbeat increased uncontrollably, and with a white face, he shouted weakly: "Mother......"
"Don't call me!" Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the old lady, and looked at her angrily, "Look at the good daughter you taught, embarrassing me in front of the guests, she is as shameless as you, you can't pick it up when you see a man's eyes, I like men so much, I will marry you all another day, and I will save the face of the Hou Mansion again, let me be old, and I will be cursed by someone pointing at my backbone!" ”
The old lady said a lot in one breath, her face turned red because of excitement, and the little maid next to her hurriedly patted her back and served tea.
Xiao Chen's face changed in an instant, he looked at the old lady in disbelief, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Mother! ”
The old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when she heard this, her face was difficult to look at, and she glared at her: "What, do you still want to accuse me of being a mother-in-law?" ”
"I ...... The daughter-in-law didn't dare. Xiao Chen lowered his head, almost overflowing these words from his throat, and his voice was inaudible.
Although she lowered her head, she could still feel the gaze of the people around her, and the maids who were usually trembling in the face of her and didn't dare to speak loudly were secretly looking at her at the moment, and even her two daughters looked at her with a look of surprise, and ...... Chu Nian.
Xiao Chen only felt as if there was a fire burning in her heart, and her face was white for a while, blue for a while, and red for a while.
Married into the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, she gave birth to children, mastered the middle feed, and controlled the inside and out, the Hou Ye respected her, the old lady was optimistic about her, and even Chu Nian greeted her with a smile, when did she suffer this kind of anger? When the old lady said this kind of thing in public, didn't she clearly tell everyone that she used means to marry into the Hou Mansion back then?
Xiao Chen was simply ashamed and indignant, standing at the door, neither entering nor retreating, looking down at the pitiful.
"Get out! Get out of here! Suddenly, the old lady shouted, and the more she looked at them, the more unpleasant she became, and she threw a few more teacups over.
The teacup flew over Xiao Chen's forehead, almost hitting her, Xiao Chen was startled, and screamed uncontrollably, but it made the old lady even more annoyed.
Seeing that the old lady's face was pale, and he couldn't ease up for a while, Xiao Chen blessed himself and said: "Mother, take care of your body, don't hurt your body, my daughter-in-law will retire first, and I will come to see you later." ”
After she finished speaking, she pulled Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang away with an aggrieved face.
Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang also knew that they were in trouble, they didn't dare to struggle with a white face, they were very well-behaved, and they were even a little afraid of staying here and being tortured by the old lady, so they eagerly followed Xiao Chen out.
"Old lady, my granddaughter has also retired, you have a good rest." Chu Nian also said.
The old lady waved her hand weakly: "Get out, get out of here!" ”
In the face of her obvious disgust, Chu Nian didn't care and left calmly.
When she walked out of the gate of Fushou Garden, Xiao Chen, Chu Yuanniang, and Chu Erniang did not go far, and when they heard the movement, they turned to look at her.
"Ma'am." Chu Nian hooked his lips slightly, looking at Xiao Chen with a smile or not, a little teasing.
Xiao Chen was suddenly so angry, this stinky girl who used to stammered at her in every possible way, even dared to look at her jokes, and didn't call her mother Mrs., when did she have such courage? Could it be that I was wrong before, this stinky girl is just forbearing? It just doesn't make sense!
Xiao Chen's whole body trembled, pointing at Chu Nian, but he couldn't say a word, and his face turned red.
Because she saw that there were many subordinates around her, and not all of them were under her control, she was already embarrassed enough today, but she could no longer destroy the benevolent image that she had carefully maintained in the past.
"It's nothing, my mother just wants to tell you that the weather is cold, wear more clothes, otherwise my sister will feel distressed when she looks at it below." With a long sigh of relief, Xiao Chen said with a smile.
She deliberately reminded Da Chen that she wanted to make Chu Nian feel uncomfortable and even lose her temper.
She already felt now that Chu Nian had been pretending before, and now she finally couldn't pretend anymore.
In this way, Chu Nian must be haunted by Da Chen's death, so Xiao Chen's deliberately stimulated her, and it was best to let her pounce out of control, punch and kick her stepmother, and scold her, so that her reputation would be ruined and she would let out a bad breath.
However, Chu Nian did not do what she wanted, she was supported by Mei Xiang, standing there motionless, looking at her with a smile, as if she had seen through what she was thinking.
