Chapter 108: Secretly Helping Hands

Chapter One Hundred and Eight

Secretly help

Mengxi and Zhiqiu came to the Heart Garden. Seeing Cui Ping waiting outside the courtyard with a little girl, Cui Ping saw the second grandmother come in, showed a sinister smile, and stepped forward to say

"Second grandma, the eldest lady is waiting for you in the east ear room, let the second grandma come over and go in directly"

Mengxi nodded, let her lead the way in front, helped Zhiqiu to follow behind, and came to the east ear room together, where the eldest lady was sitting on the kang and talking with Xiu'er with a smile. Seeing Cui Ping come in with the second grandmother, his face immediately sank.

Seeing Mengxi's gift, the eldest lady opened her mouth and said:

"Yo, how can I afford the gift of the second grandmother, the son who worked hard to pull up, I thought that if I married my daughter-in-law, I could enjoy some blessings, but now look at it, I am a blessed person, in my opinion, I am about to be kicked out as a mother-in-law"

When Mengxi heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"The daughter-in-law is stupid. Anger the eldest lady, please punish the eldest lady"

Seeing Mengxi kneeling, the eldest lady didn't raise her eyes, and continued:

"Seeing that my daughter-in-law was not in good health, I made a tonic soup and let people send it over, thinking about making up for my daughter-in-law, how could I think that my daughter-in-law would just be unappreciative of it, so I ordered someone to take it out and throw it away, I have done sin in that life? can't get the daughter-in-law's good, looking for the old lady to comment, is there any reason for this? ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, as if she were really sad and shed tears.

Damn, I didn't see what the soup looked like, so why did I order someone to take it out and throw it away! Mengxi saw that the eldest lady said that the white one was black, and knew that this was to find a shortcoming and treat her ruthlessly, Cui Ping was her person, and at this time, she would only be more shameless, and she would not be able to please the old lady, so she said calmly:

"The daughter-in-law knows her mistake, please punish the eldest wife"

The eldest lady didn't expect the second grandmother, who had always been sharp-toothed, to recognize it without distinguishing it, which made her swallow back all the harsh words she had prepared earlier, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Just wiping her eyes there, Xiu'er saw it and said obediently:

"Auntie, my cousin-in-law is young and ignorant, don't be like her, I'm angry in vain, and no one is distressed, it's better to punish my cousin-in-law for kneeling for a few hours, firstly, you are magnanimous and don't care about juniors, and secondly, you can also make your cousin-in-law have a long memory, so as not to make you angry again"

When the eldest lady heard this, she nodded and looked at the second grandmother and said:

"This is your voluntary punishment, don't look back and go to the old lady to say that I bullied you."

"The daughter-in-law doesn't dare"

"What else would you not dare!"

Seeing that the second grandmother didn't speak again, the eldest lady didn't say anything more, and went back to talk to Xiu'er.

Zhichun waited left and right in the east chamber, and saw that it had been almost two hours, and he had not seen the shadow of the second grandmother, so he knew that he must have been punished for kneeling, and she knew the body of the second grandmother. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that my life will be gone, and I can't care about anything else, I heard that the second master was in the study, and I hurriedly came to the door of the study, and saw Xiao Xia standing at the door, saying that I wanted to see the second master, and begged him to pass it on, Xiao Xia saw that it was Zhichun, and the second said that he didn't say that he turned around and entered, and after a while, Xiao Xia came out and let her in.

Zhichun entered the study, saw that the second master was sitting behind the bookcase, looked at the documents on the table, saw her come in, looked up at her, Zhichun took a few steps forward and knelt down:

"The slave dared to beg the second master to save the second grandmother"

When Xiao Jun heard this, he sat up straight and frowned, what trouble did she cause again? Hurriedly asked:

"Tell me slowly, what's going on"

Zhichun briefly told Cui Ping about breaking into the East Chamber, and kowtowed again:

"The second grandmother was called by the eldest lady for almost two hours, and she must have been punished for kneeling again, the slave maid is afraid that the second grandmother's body will not be able to survive, the second grandmother has not recuperated well since she fainted last time, and her body bones have been empty, the slave and maid begged the second master to save the second grandmother, and the slave and maid kowtowed to you"

When Xiao Jun heard this, his face sank. Said:

"I think you're making a fuss, your mother is gentle and kind, not an unreasonable person, how can you punish the second grandmother for this matter, and the mother asked the second grandmother to go over to relieve her boredom."

When Zhichun heard this, he said secretly: You are her own son, of course you are gentle and kind to you, but the second grandmother is a stepmother! Kneeling down there and saying:

"The second master forgives the sin, the slave and maid don't dare to say behind the back that the eldest lady is not, the eldest lady is gentle and kind, and understands the righteousness, which is well known. It's just that I don't like the second grandmother for some reason, these days, often because of some trivial things, I will call the second grandmother to kneel for half an hour, every time the second grandmother comes back, the knee is bruised, just two days ago, the second grandmother's knee bruise has not disappeared, this time again, the slave is afraid that the second grandmother can't survive, will die, the second master does not believe. You can personally check the injuries on the second grandmother's body, and the slave begs the second master to save the second grandmother for the sake of the second grandmother who has visited the church with you, and the slave and maid kowtow to you."

After Zhichun finished speaking, he tied, tied, and kowtowed, and after a while, he didn't see the second master answer, and secretly raised his eyes to look, where was there still the shadow of the second master, Zhichun didn't know whether the second master agreed or not, but since the second master was gone. She was also bored here, she got up and patted the soil on her body, ignored Xiao Xia, who was looking at her at the door, and turned back to the East Chamber.

Mengxi already felt dizzy and groggy at this time, and only felt that he would pass out in the next moment, and silently read in his heart, hold on, hold on, don't faint.

Zhiqiu watched distressedly from the side. She didn't know how long the second grandmother had been kneeling, but she knew that the eldest lady had taken a nap for a while, and when she woke up, she talked to Xiu'er about her family routine, as if she had forgotten that the second grandmother was still kneeling on the ground.

Just when I was worried, a little maid came in to report, the second master came over, Xiu'er's eyes lit up immediately when she heard it, and she sat up straight, and the eldest lady was busy saying:

"Please"

Before the word please was finished, the second master had already opened the curtain cage and walked in, and quickly stepped forward to greet his mother, and the eldest lady stretched out her hand and asked:

"Jun'er has time to come over today"

"I came back early, thinking that my mother passed Jun'er over a few days ago, and I didn't have time, but my cousin said that I was optimistic about a bead flower and brought it with me."

Xiao Jun said, took out a small box from his sleeve, handed it to Xiu'er and said:

"This is the beaded flower that my cousin said last time, cousin see if you like it or not"

Xiu'er took it infinitely shyly, opened the box and took it out, happily let her aunt put it on her head, and said:

"It's hard for my cousin to remember, Xiu'er just said it casually, thank you cousin, Xiu'er likes it very much"

Xiao Jun seemed to notice Mengxi kneeling on the ground, and asked in surprise:

"Why is Xi'er here, and what has she done to make her mother unhappy?"

When the eldest lady heard her son's question, she was also startled. I remembered that my son came in, and the second grandmother was still kneeling on the ground, and she punished the second grandmother, but she was carrying this son on her back, for fear that her son would find out that she was mean to the second grandmother, and she would be biased in the future.

"No, seeing that your daughter-in-law is not in good health, I specially made a bowl of soup today and sent it over, wanting to make up for her, and I can also hold my grandson as soon as possible. This son is also a white parent, he married a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, now he just throws soup, and in a few days, he should throw me as a mother."

The eldest lady's eyes turned red as she spoke. Seeing his mother like this, the second master hurriedly said:

"Mother, don't be angry, the son doesn't know about this, otherwise he would have been punished, how can she make you angry, since the mother is angry when she sees her, the son will not let her come to the mother in the future."

As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted at Zhiqiu:

"The slave who doesn't have long eyes is still in the way of the eyes, so that my mother is angry, why don't I help your second grandmother back to the east wing, be grounded for ten days, and think about it behind closed doors".
