Zhang Bao brought his wife and children to send the Zhou family together, and he couldn't say goodbye to him.

Zhou Yinlan pulled Shuning aside and said: "Let's go goodbye, I don't know when I can see my sister again, my sister is so good to take care of her life, if you have something to say to me, just write a letter and send it to my aunt's house, she will write to my father and mother regularly, and then you can ask someone to send it over." Shuning asked: "Your aunt's family ......" Zhou Yinlan smiled: "My father has talked to the uncle of the Li family, and he will correspond often in the future. Shuning smiled knowingly and said, "Okay, then I have to trouble their family in the future." Shall I go and greet your aunt and say hello? ”

"Don't be busy yet." Zhou Yinlan grabbed her, "Didn't I say last time that I sent a few letters to Prince Kang's mansion asking to see the Su family's sister, but it didn't work?" Shuning nodded, and she continued: "That's because I was confused, thanks to Ying'er's reminder and the girl ring who rehanded the letter to her, I got the news." I heard that she is not in a good situation, the rules in the palace are very large, and she is not used to it, but the prince treats her well. She asked Yahuan to help her deliver a message, telling us not to worry, and we would meet in the future. ”

Shuning nodded silently, in fact, they all expected this at the beginning. Zhou Yinlan sighed and said: "Sister Su's temperament, it's really hard for her to be trapped in the deep mansion compound for the rest of her life." ”

Mrs. Zhou beckoned her daughter over, and they walked back to their elders. Shuning gave Mrs. Li a salute, and made an appointment to ask her to send a letter to Zhou Yinlan in the future, and Mrs. Li responded with a smile.

The Zhou family and his party left. Tong was a little tired, so he stayed in his carriage and rested for a while before returning to the Earl's Court with his husband and children. On the way, Tong asked Zhang Bao: "Is the lack of husband fixed?" Zhang Bao replied: "Others gave me two shortcomings, one is under the Yuheng people, it is Shuntian Mansion, and the other is just the same knowledge of the five products." I thought that it was naturally good to do four products, but the current Shuntian Mansion Cheng was still there, and I would just wait for him to die next spring, and I would take office directly. ”

Tong Shi was silent and did not speak, Zhang Bao said softly: "It's just half a year's work, and it's here in a blink of an eye, besides, you still have to give birth, produce at home, everything is complete, and you can also invite the imperial doctor to sit in the battle." Tong smiled reluctantly and didn't speak.

The family entered the Earl's Court and got out of the car, only to find that the people below were all gathered in piles and whispering, not knowing what had happened. Tong was suspicious in his heart, but it was not easy to ask those rough servants. Zhang Bao instructed the maids to wait for the Tong family, and then took Duan Ning to the big study in front. Tong took his daughter back to Huaiyuan, but saw a girl in the old lady's room waiting at the gate of the courtyard, and when she saw them, she greeted them and said, "Third lady, the old lady please go to her house with the third girl." ”

Tong Shi answered, and took Shuning to the main courtyard, but he was even more puzzled in his heart. Shuning held her mother and thought: Could it be that something big happened in this posture?

When I arrived at the old lady's house in the main courtyard, I saw a large number of black crows kneeling under the corridor, and when I looked closely, they were all slaves and maids of the big houses. Entering the upper room, the old lady sat upright, the eldest uncle Jin Bao and the eldest aunt Nala stood on each side, and a woman in her thirties followed behind Nala and was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and Shuning recognized her as Fang Ning's biological mother, Aunt Chen. Fang Ning, on the other hand, was kneeling in the middle of the room at this time, bowing her head and trembling slightly. Although I didn't see the second uncle Xingbao, the second aunt Suo Yuluo was there, and Wanning Yuanning and the sister-in-law Li were standing next to him.

Could it be that Fang Ning and Fan Jinchun's affair was discovered?

When the old lady saw Tong come in, she spoke: "Are you here?" Three girls go and stand with your sisters. ”

Tong walked to Suo Xue Luo's first stand, Shuning walked to Wan Ning's side, Leng Hao was glared at by her, and the hatred in her eyes made people tremble.

What are you staring at me for? Although I told your mother indirectly about the incident, it is obvious that she did not intend to let others know, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for her to be the daughter-in-law of the big house. Now that it's happened, it's definitely not me who poked it out.

Jin Bao coughed, attracting everyone's attention, and he said to his mother: "This matter is a matter of the inner court, and the son will be handed over to Eniang, and I also ask Eniang to help my son discipline this unfortunate daughter." ”

The old lady said "um" with a straight face, and Jin Bao left.

The old lady moved her gaze to Fang Ning: "Shameless thing! Fang Ning's body trembled even more. When Aunt Chen heard this, she cried more and more sadly, and she didn't dare to make too much noise, so she could only cry with a sob.

"What ?!! to cry about" The old lady shouted, "When something happens, you will only cry!" You are mourning! Why can't you discipline your daughter well with this kung fu?! Let her know what the girl's family should and shouldn't do, and she won't do such a degrading thing! Who are we? Lord of the Generations! The daughter who was born actually ran to hook up with a stinky boy from a businessman's family! You have lost all the face of your ancestors!! ”

Aunt Chen suppressed her crying, choked up as if she was about to die. Fang Ning's face was pale and pale, and she glanced at Wan Ning quickly.

Wan Ning hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly smiled and said to her grandmother, who had always loved her: "Grandma-" "Shut up! The old lady shouted, startling her, "I haven't said you yet!" Don't talk yet! ”

Wan Ning was frightened, and in her memory, her grandmother had never spoken to her in such a stern tone, which made her hesitate.

Fang Ning saw that even Wanning was scolded back, her face became even more ugly, and her body trembled more and more.

Shuning looked at this scene coldly. Yuanning's children's family is simple-minded, and when they saw Wanning eating soft-shelled turtles, they couldn't help but curl the corners of their mouths.

The old lady's anger had not yet dissipated, and now she turned to Nala again: "And you! I'm counting on you to be in charge of the house, and let this happen right under your nose! Are you wood?! ”

Nala bowed his head and said nothing. Suo Xue Luo couldn't hide the smug expression on his face.

The old lady shifted her attention back to Fang Ning: "You are unruly and insulting, according to my will, you should be killed directly!" But you are the daughter of our family, next year's draft, your name has been reported to the household department again, your death is a small matter, but it is difficult to reply when asked. Since your mother doesn't know how to discipline you, I'll take care of it myself! ”

She glanced at the people in the room and said the punishment for the eldest granddaughter: "You give me to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet, I don't nod, you are not allowed to get up!" From now on, if you move me to a room at the back of the main courtyard, I will send someone to teach you. Before entering the palace draft, you are not allowed to go out of the room! If there is any rash move, those grandmothers have strength! ”

Two strong and powerful daughters-in-law walked up and took the trembling Fang Ning down, and Aunt Chen followed with crying, and the scene was cold for a while.

Wanning wrung her fingers a little frightened, and when she saw her grandmother's eyes move to her, she hurriedly rushed over and knelt down, hugged her grandmother's legs, looked at her pitifully with big eyes, and said, "Grandma, Wan'er knows it's wrong, don't be angry...... Wan'er is young and doesn't know the depths, but my grandmother taught me that I won't do it again. ”

Although the old lady was a little soft-hearted, she still did not change her stern attitude: "I really spoiled you in the past, and seeing that you are smart by nature, I think that you don't have to be too strict with you, you will be sensible." As a result, you don't even understand these rules, so you can do such a foolish thing! Do you know that your sister is going to be drafted next year, and if she is selected, but she is found to have such an ugly thing, then our whole family will have to eat and hang! Seeing that Wanning obediently lowered her head to listen to the training, she slowed down her tone, "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you are not selected, you can let our family choose their own match, at that time, the person who will marry us must be the official eunuch's family, once it is known, what face does our family have to meet people?!" I'm afraid that even the reputation of your sisters will be affected! ”

Wan Ning was about to cry when she saw it: "It's me who was confused for a while, I really didn't know it would be like this, grandma don't be angry." ”

The old lady's face looked better, and she was about to help her granddaughter up, when she heard Yuan Ning say on the side: "The second sister is lying, she already knows these things!" ”

The old lady's face changed suddenly, and she stared at Yuan Ning tightly. Suo Xue Luo was stunned for a while, and hurriedly stopped his daughter and said, "What are you crazy about this girl, don't retreat quickly!" ”

Yuan Ning shook off her hand and said loudly: "I went to look for the big sister that day, and I heard the three sisters talking in the house, and the third sister said that the big sister will be drafted next year, and told them not to see that person again." But the second sister didn't listen, and scolded the third sister for being nosy. ”

Oops. Shuning had a bad premonition and was worried that the fire would burn on her.

Sure enough, the old lady moved her gaze to her and asked, "Three girls, is this true?" ”

Shuning saw a trace of sharpness and disappointment in her eyes, and in an instant, her heart was racing.

She knelt down and replied: "Back to my grandmother's words, my granddaughter only knows that the two sisters often go to a teahouse to drink tea, because she feels that it is a little inappropriate to always meet the young man of that family, so she persuaded the two sisters. As for what the eldest sister has with that person, the granddaughter doesn't know. ”

She could feel Yuan Ning's disappointed and resentful gaze, but she could only say in her heart: "Little sister, I haven't blamed you for drawing the fire to me, what are you angry about there?" ”

The old lady snorted: "So, you already knew it, but you actually concealed it and didn't report it, and everyone was uncomfortable!" She glanced at Tong's family, "You are also confused, you have time to eat those flying vinegars, it is better to spend more time disciplining your daughter." ”

Tong's face turned white. Shuning glanced at her with some concern. Wan Ning's expression was a little strange, but soon she had no time to think about anything else, because her grandmother turned her eyes back to her, and her face became more and more ugly.

Wan Ning whispered in fear, "Grandma......"

"Don't call me grandma! You even dare to lie to me? Do you still have my grandmother in your eyes?!! ”

Wanning couldn't help but drop the golden bean, she grew so big, she has always been pampered, where has she received such heavy words?

Isn't that nothing serious? Why does everyone blame her? She felt aggrieved.

Nala said softly to her mother-in-law: "E-Niang Rong daughter-in-law said something, this matter is the second girl's mistake, she must be punished, how to punish and let E-niang take the idea." She skimmed over her daughter's resentful gaze and continued: "It's just that this matter is disgraceful, and it's better not to make a big fuss." In case a mouthy subordinate leaks out, I'm afraid that Yu's reputation will be in the way. ”

The old lady was reminded by her, and hurriedly said: "This is true, pass on my words, no one is allowed to spread this matter today, if I hear a gossip, no matter who it is, it will be dealt with by family law!" All the people shouted yes in unison.

Then the old lady said: "The second girl is reckless, so I will punish you for copying the "Female Training" and "Female Commandment" five times!" Seeing that Wanning was a little reluctant, he glared at her, "In the future, without the permission of me or your mother, you are not allowed to step out of the mansion!" Even if you want to go out, you must have at least two people with you. I will always inquire about those who are waiting for the girl, and if there is any negligence, take care of your skin! The last sentence made the male and female servants outside the door all silent.

She continued to punish: "The three girls didn't report it, let me stay in my room for ten days to reflect, except for the girl I sent to deliver food and water, no one is allowed to see me!" ”

Then he said, "I am tired, let me go," and he ignored the crowd and went into the inner room.

Everyone dispersed, and Shuning hurriedly got up to support her mother, only to find that the back of her clothes was almost soaked, and her face was pale.
