Chapter 542: Stirring Up Trouble Again?
The old princess handed over the book selling dog meat with a sheep's head to Aunt Fan, and suddenly frowned again: "Where did you hear about this?" β
Sanniang also wanted to know why Aunt Fan appeared in such a timely manner.
Aunt Fan's face did not change and said: "The concubine came over early in the morning, just because you have a distinguished guest here, the princess, so the concubine didn't come in, just waited outside." Later, I saw that the Shen Mama next to the county lord secretly took out a book from her sleeve, as if she wanted to throw it away, and the concubine saw that the book was a little familiar, and it seemed to have been seen in the prince before, so she hurriedly went to stop it. After that, Mama Shen was called in by the princess. The more the concubine thought about it outside, the more she felt that something was wrong, because the concubine remembered the book...... The concubine waited outside for a while, and then saw the county lord, Miss Yao, and they all came out, and you only left the young lady in the house, and then thought that this book might have caused some trouble. The concubine thought that she couldn't let others carry this black cauldron, so she dared to ask the princess to let the slave and maid come in, and explained the origin of the book clearly. β
The old princess nodded: "Thanks to your carefulness, otherwise I am afraid that I would have wronged Sanniang." The old princess still looked a little unhappy in her heart when she said it.
Aunt Fan said with a smile: "You and the young lady are the ancestors and grandchildren of the in-laws, as the young lady said, even if you preach to her, you are also kind, I am afraid that she will go a wrong way." The young lady is an understanding person and will not care about you because of this matter. β
The old princess nodded and said to Sanniang: "You go and call them all in, I have something to explain to them." β
Sanniang answered and withdrew.
The county lord of Huilan, Yao Yuerong and Mama Shen were all standing not far away and did not go back, and when they saw someone coming out, they hurriedly looked over. San walked over and said with a faint smile: "Grandmother has something to tell you." β
The three of them all looked at Sanniang seriously, as if they wanted to see something on her face. Sanniang just smiled, and her emotions were not exposed.
The county lord of Huilan lowered his head again, but Yao Yuerong frowned and said with some concern: "Sister-in-law, will this matter involve you?" If Yue Rong knew that it would be so. I wouldn't have suggested going to the study. β
Sanniang glanced at Yao Yuerong, who expressed her concern perfectly, and shook her head with a smile. As if he didn't want to say anything more, he knew, "Don't keep Grandmother waiting, let's go in, shall we?" β
Yao Yuerong nodded obediently. Together with the county lord of Huilan, he followed Sanniang into the old princess's house.
The old princess glanced at the people below and said, "Today's matter is over, and no one will mention it in the future." If I find out who is chewing the root of your tongue indiscriminately, then the master will punish him together, do you hear? β
Sanniang, Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan all responded in a low voice.
At this time, the county lord of Whelan, who had not spoken, spoke: "Grandmother." Just now you left your sister-in-law, do you suspect that it is her, it is her......" Whelan bit her lip and hesitated.
The old princess waved her hand: "I don't have this intention, just because she is the one who manages the inner courtyard, I naturally consult with her if I have something." β
The county lord of Huilan nodded, glanced at Sanniang and said, "The granddaughter also thinks that this matter has nothing to do with the sister-in-law, and she didn't tell her grandmother just now because she was really embarrassed." But I was afraid that grandmother would misunderstand your sister-in-law, so Huilan still spoke. I heard that the book in this baggage was brought in by a maid from outside, and my sister-in-law didn't know it. β
Sanniang turned her head and glanced at Whelan. raised his eyebrows slightly, but then couldn't help but smile.
"Thank you, Sister Whelan, for defending me." Although after your explanation, it is getting more and more complicated.
Huilan bowed her head slightly: "In the past, Huilan was ignorant, and she was always angry with her sister-in-law because of some old things. Now that Huilan is learning the rules from Mama Shen, she has understood a lot of truths, sister-in-law, you are a good person and should not be wronged. Grandmother, you should call your sister-in-law's maid and ask, this kind of ...... How could such an unseemly thing be brought to the inner courtyard and let the guests see it. provoked the sister-in-law to be implicated. It really shouldn't. β
Sanniang looked at Whelan speaking softly, she thought that they would at least maintain the peace and quiet they had for the previous few months before Whelan got married, it seemed that she was too naΓ―ve. And Whelan, who has been silent for so long, has been honest, why does she want to jump out and sow discord again?
Sanniang Yao Yuerong glanced at it, and she kept bowing her head slightly. Standing there dignifiedly, his temperament is like a clear and unearthly water lotus.
The old princess frowned when she heard this, and Sanniang said: "I have already asked the maid, she didn't bring in this book, but she just packed it up and wanted to send it to someone." Because she doesn't know how to read, I always go through the books when they are borrowed, so that no important books get out. β
Whelan opened her mouth, but finally pursed her lips. Whether the book was taken out or brought in, no one could tell, and there was no evidence that she had to say that it was brought in by a man outside.
"Oh? You borrowed the book? The old princess frowned slightly.
Sanniang smiled: "It's the son of the granddaughter-in-law who supports the grandmother, although he is not in good health, he is very studious, and he saw him by chance last time, and he appreciated it very much." When I came back and told me, when my father was there, he often said that books should be read by people who like to read them so that they would not become moldy and insect-insect, which is more effective and trouble-free than taking them out to dry every year, so my father used to always give books to those scholars to read. Xianggong said that the child liked some books, although he asked Mama to come and borrow them. β
Sanniang learned from Aunt Fan's time, playing the cards of father-in-law and Xianggong.
Sure enough, the old princess smiled: "This is indeed what Xin'er said." It's just a few books, just read it if you like, just remember to check it carefully in the future. β
The sentence just now was indeed said by Xuanxin back then, and Sanniang saw it from the notes he left behind, so she was not lying. As for the old princess, as long as it is related to the declaration of faith, she is unconditionally tolerant.
Sanniang nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law Sun knows, she will definitely check the books well in the future, and today's incident will never happen again." Sanniang looked at Yao Yuerong and said with a smile, "Today's thing is indeed embarrassing." I also blame my sister-in-law for being too negligent and embarrassing you, sister-in-law is here to accompany the two sisters, please forgive the two sisters. β
Saying that, Sanniang really blessed Yao Yuerong and the county lord of Huilan generously.
Although Yao Yuerong and Huilan didn't know how Sanniang cleared their suspicions all of a sudden, and let the old princess protect her like this, they didn't dare to accept this gift, so they hurriedly avoided it sideways.
Yao Yuerong hurriedly said: "The princess has already said that this matter has nothing to do with the eldest cousin. Besides, the young and the young are orderly, how can Yuerong be courteous by the big cousin. β
The old princess was very satisfied with the courtesy and humility of her sisters.
Sanniang said again: "It's just that Sister Yuerong still doesn't want to go by herself after the study." If you like to read any book, just tell me, and I'll find it and have someone send it to you. β
The old princess also said: "Yes, don't go to the study." If you have time, do more embroidery work, or learn the skills of housekeeping with your eldest cousin, those useless things are occasionally used to pass the time, don't worry too much. β
Yao Yuerong obediently agreed.
"Well, that's the end of the matter, don't mention it again. You all stand down, Sanniang stays, I still have a few words to explain. The old princess ordered.
The rest of the people retreated, and the old princess said to Sanniang: "I'm afraid that today's incident will make the Ye family unhappy, after all, Miss Ye is an unmarried woman...... When something like this happens, it's always our fault. β
Sanniang pleaded guilty again.
The old princess shook her head and sighed: "I don't blame you for this." It's because Xin'er was too naughty when he was young, and it's also because I and the prince are too used to him. If you send a generous gift to the Ye family, it should be regarded as an apology. Whether this family matter is said or not, it depends on fate. If fate is not enough, you can't force it. β
Sanniang also felt that encountering this kind of thing hurt Miss Ye's self-esteem and face, and the Ye family didn't know if they would agree to this family business.
However, Sanniang thought again, Mrs. Ye and Miss Ye are all politically good people, is it really good to marry a woman like Huilan? Sanniang didn't want to throw the trouble to the innocent person in order not to catch fire in her backyard.
If this family business can't be done, it won't be successful. Maybe the Ye family has done a lot of good things, and maybe they can escape the difficulty.
The old princess explained a few more words, and Sanniang withdrew.
I was thinking about what gift to send to the Ye family to comfort Miss Ye and express the apology of Zhuang Wangfu, but I found that Mama Shen was waiting not far from the old princess Shouhui Hall, and it seemed that she had been waiting for a while.
Sanniang walked over: "Mama Shen, are you here?" β
Mama Shen saw Sanniang coming out, looked at the maid behind her, and hesitated: "Young lady, the slave has something to tell you, can you hold back?" β
Although Sanniang was a little surprised, she still responded very happily. Let the maids and daughters stay back, and she and Mama Shen walked to the porch not far from the front.
"What does Mama have to say to Sanniang? The view here is good, and the people behind us can't hear it when we talk here, so you might as well say it bluntly. β
Mama Shen said: "Today's study...... Although the slave maid immediately gave the book to her sleeve after discovering that it was wrong, it was still too late, so that there was such a turmoil, and the slave maid was derelict in her duty and failed to live up to the young lady's entrustment. β
Sanniang said with a smile: "What does this matter have to do with Mama, at that time, it was fortunate that you hid the book and did not let more people see it, and it was already the face of our palace." Mama has always done things safely, I know that. β
"After that, the slave maid also wanted to find a place to throw away the book, but she was afraid that the princess would pursue it, so she still didn't dare to throw it out." (To be continued)
