Sensing Xu's gaze, Chen Ying's face did not move, but she wondered in her heart: Could it be that something happened again? And this matter is still related to yourself?

It's just that she was out most of the day today, and when she came back, she was busy arranging all the things in Mingfeng Pavilion, but she didn't notice anything unusual in the mansion.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, don't always look at the three girls, it's none of her business." Old Madam Xu suddenly opened her mouth.

Everyone was shocked by this, and Xu stood up and said in a panic: "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare." ”

Old Madam Xu didn't look at her either, she only looked at the teacup in her hand, and her eyebrows didn't move: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has passed the house, this is a good thing." But some people have the ability to turn a good thing into a bad thing. Fortunately, I have an extra heart, and there are several layers of manpower outside the hanging flower door, so there is nothing wrong, otherwise, where can the face of the Guogong Mansion be placed? ”

Xu didn't dare to raise his head, but said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law understands, the old lady is here for everyone's good." ”

"You understand the truth, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get over it." Old Madam Xu was almost merciless, and her words were like the tip of a needle: "It's not me who is a mother-in-law to embarrass you." Sister Lu is also a year older and two years younger, seeing that she is about to leave the cabinet, as her mother, don't always stare outside, staring at those irrelevant people, but throw away the dignity of a girl's family. ”

Old Madam Xu had never been like this, and Xu's face was flushed, and she hung her head almost without embarrassment.

These words are almost to accuse the Xu family of those small actions in the mansion, it seems that Mrs. Xu is extremely dissatisfied with her recent performance, and today she finally came out.

Fortunately, Liu Baoshan's family was very eye-catching, and he took away all the maids early in the morning, which saved Xu Shi from being embarrassed in front of his subordinates. And Rao was like this, and the fourth wife, Liu Shi and Chen Ying, couldn't sit still, and they all stood up.

"Old lady, daughter-in-law will take the girls out first." Ryu whispered, his head hanging low.

As a daughter-in-law, she naturally has to come forward to speak at this time, and she can't let Xu be reprimanded in front of everyone, in the end, she is also the mother of a house, and her face is still very important.

Old Madam Xu waved her hand, looking a little tired: "Let's go." ”

Liu and Chen Ying both withdrew.

As soon as I lifted the Hunan curtain, I saw a few women with gold and silver standing under the platform, and it was Aunt Su in the second room who took Fan and Ge to wait at the bottom of the steps.

The rules of the province of the Guogong Mansion are extremely strict, and all the aunts and mothers of the house, unless they get the permission of Mrs. Xu in person, they must not set foot in the upper room, they can only ask for peace through the curtains, and then wait at the bottom of the stairs, when the housewives come out, when they can follow back.

Today, because the Shen family did not come, I had to be led by Aunt Su and bring my fifth brother Chen Xun to ask for peace, and I thought that I was waiting for Chen Xun at this time.

As soon as they saw Liu and Chen Ying coming out, several aunts hurriedly bowed and saluted, Liu and Chen Ying both avoided sideways, and after Aunt Su got up, she opened up behind them without a trace, and then stood with her hands tied.

"The fifth brother was taken by the nurse to hug Xia." Liu said softly, pressing the handkerchief to the corner of his forehead, and his voice was very soft.

She kindly reminded Aunt Su and told her not to wait here, Chen Xun had already been sent out.

Aunt Su smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Fourth Lady." He nodded to Chen Ying again, and then took the two aunts to the side.

Although she is just an aunt, in the end she has a son, and there is a little more circle and freedom between the lines, lining her flower-like face, which looks a little bit of the style of a housewife.

Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly, sighed, and when he turned to Chen Ying, he showed a soft expression on his face, and said softly: "The third girl should go back earlier, this black light is blinding, tell the little girl to play a few more lanterns." ”

Chen Ying thanked her, and then led the people back to Mingfeng Pavilion.

Li had already gone to bed early, and when Chen Ying went back, there were only two small silk lanterns hanging outside the door of the main room. Chen Ying first asked about Li's situation and learned that she was fine, so she returned to the West Chamber and ordered Xunzhen to invite Hua Zai's family over.

The Hua family is a servant of the world, with a wide range of branches in the house, and she is also well-informed, so she must be very clear about today's affairs.

Sure enough, after the flowers came to the nursery, Chen Ying only asked, and told the whole story of the matter.

It turned out that as soon as the Shen family walked out of the weeping flower door yesterday, they asked Feng's mother to stop them. Shen didn't know much about Feng's mother, so he had the courage to reason with her at first glance, and he didn't want Liu Baoshan's family to arrive later, Shen knew that Feng's mother was Mrs. Xu's person, she kicked the iron plate, and immediately died down.

Xu didn't make any trouble at all because of the matter, so Mrs. Xu didn't have a seizure on the spot, but waited until the end of the day today before she asked Liu Baoshan's family to go to the third room to spread the word, and ordered the Shen family and all the girls in the third room to be grounded for a month, and they were not even allowed to go to the garden.

As for Chen Lu, he was punished by Mrs. Xu for copying the scriptures a hundred times and embroidering five handkerchiefs before he could get out of the house, which can be regarded as a disguised confinement. According to Mrs. Xu, this is to "ruin her temperament".

When Chen Ying heard this, she felt a little puzzled in her heart, so she asked: "I understand that the third aunt and they were punished, I'm afraid it's because they almost collided with the nobles." However, what is the punishment of the eldest sister for, does Mama Hua know? ”

Chen Yi didn't steal out of the Hanging Flower Gate, but just chatted with Chen Ying in private, although the words were private, but others should not know about it. Chen Ying didn't understand why Mrs. Xu had to punish Chen Yi together.

Hua Zai's family smiled and said: "This is also what the slave maid doesn't understand, the slave maid also heard that the third lady didn't follow the big girl yesterday, but there is an extra big girl among the people punished today, and I don't know why." ”

Seeing that she didn't know much, Chen Ying didn't ask anymore, thanked her with a smile, rewarded her with a lot of money, and sent her away, and then called Luo's mother and instructed: "Some time ago, I bought a lot of strange things outside, and my mother picked out a few things for me, looked at the same thickness, and sent them to the eldest sister for me, and said to them. ”

Luo's mother took the order and left, and came back after a while, but when she came back, her face was not very good, and there seemed to be annoyance between her eyebrows.

Chen Ying couldn't help but be surprised, so she asked her, "What's wrong with Mom?" ”

Mother Luo replied with a dark face: "If you go back to the girl, the eldest girl refuses to accept things." ”

In fact, Chen Yi not only confiscated Chen Ying's gifts, but also threw things out of the house directly, and scolded a lot of ugly words, Luo's mother didn't want to tell Chen Ying about these, so she only said that she refused to accept the gift.
