Chapter 57: Anger
In the afternoon, Wu Yuan and his entourage returned to the archway of East Street, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Mama Zhu in front of the old lady waiting outside the gate.
"Two young ladies, the old lady is waiting for you in the middle courtyard."
Wu Yuan listened to Mama Zhu's words, his heart was as uneasy as a drum, he didn't dare to ask more, squeezed Wu Yijin's hand and followed Mama Zhu to the middle courtyard.
Entering the middle courtyard, I saw people kneeling in the courtyard, Wu Yuan looked at Lilac kneeling on the ground, Lilac shook her head lightly and signaled Miss not to talk more.
The old lady sat in the main hall and looked at the two of them with a blank face.
"Granddaughter greets grandmother."
Wu Yuan and Wu Yijin respectfully saluted, but they didn't see their grandmother let the two get up.
"I heard that the two of you were in the limelight at the flower-viewing party held by the wife of the salt transport envoy today?" The old lady held the teacup and asked indifferently.
Wu Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and pulled Wu Yijin to kneel on the ground hurriedly, lowering his head and not daring to speak.
Seeing this, Jiang Shi was about to explain, "Mother, in fact, it's not the fault of the two of them, it's that Miss Jiang is too much, she actually said it in front of Yuan Niangγγγγγγγ β
Before Jiang finished speaking, the old lady interrupted her and said angrily, "I'm asking the two of them, where is the place where you interject!" β
Jiang Shi was startled, and hurriedly stood aside respectfully with his hands down.
The old lady is really angry, and I don't know who came back to report the letter!
Wu Yuan stubbornly said: "The granddaughters really shouldn't have pulled with Miss Jiang on such an occasion and lost the rules, but it was indeed Miss Jiang who spoke out firstγγγγγγ β
Wu Yijin also said boldly: "Grandmother, that Miss Jiang family just saw that my eldest sister was present, and deliberately said that the eldest sister was a disaster star, and her granddaughter was so angry that she wanted to reason with her, but she accidentally pulled her hair." β
Hearing this, the old lady stood up, put the tea cup in her hand on the rosewood coffee table, and made a "pop"!
"On weekdays, I am in the house, and I tell you every day that you must think about the reputation of the Wu family in every move when you go out! It's better for you to take what I say on a deaf ear! actually made trouble with others in Bihualuo, and also made trouble in front of Mrs. Yanyun, this time people don't care about you, it's completely for the sake of the Wu family's face, otherwise if you change to someone else, I'm afraid that you will be blown out early! β
"You're here to visit! On the contrary, it turned other people's flower viewing party into a theater of theater! I don't think you can see the Wu family! Chengxing wants to embarrass the Wu family! Wu Yuan, Wu Yuan! I brought you so big, I have taught you to be dignified and generous since I was a child, why are you so big, but you have caused so many things! Last time, I let the maid beat and scold my subordinates, and this time I had a big fight with Miss Jiang at the flower viewing party, why did the Wu family have such an unruly eldest lady as you! No wonder people outside say you're a scourge! Why was this Wu family so unhappy as soon as you were born! β
After speaking, the old lady was already out of breath, and Mama Zhu hurriedly helped the old lady to sit down, stroking her back to give the old lady a good breath.
Wu Yuan was half chilled when he heard this, is this what his grandmother thinks? Even if Miss Jiang is the first to speak out, she must endure not to speak and be a stupid deaf person!
Could it be that she is so unbearable, she will only discredit the Wu family, the little sister made trouble with the Jiang family for herself, although the little sister should not be so reckless, but she is all for herself! At this time, the grandmother didn't ask her granddaughters if they had been injured, but just kept talking about the reputation of the Wu family, the face of the Wu family, and the opinions of outsiders!
At this moment, Wu Yuan was really a little tired.
Wu Yuan lowered his head and said softly: "All the mistakes are the fault of the granddaughter, the granddaughter is punished at will, if the granddaughter is not a disaster, she will not become a joke in Miss Jiang's mouth, and the little sister will not make a big fuss with Miss Jiang, let alone lose the face of our Wu family at the flower viewing party of the lady of the salt envoy." All this is the granddaughter's fault, and I ask my grandmother not to blame my little sister, my little sister is young and ignorant, and all kinds of things are caused by me, and I also ask my grandmother to expel me from the Wu family and return the Wu family to peace. β
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked at Wu Yuan with wide eyes, and the old lady raised her hand tremblingly, pointing at Wu Yuan for a long time and couldn't speak.
"Big sister! Don't say that, big sister! I won't let you go! Mother! Tell your grandmother quickly, it's all my fault, and it's not my eldest sister's businessγγγγγγ Wu Yijin cried and held Wu Yuan's hand while saying to Jiang.
Jiang Shi came to his senses at this time, "Mother! Mother! Wu Yuan, what she said is all child's words, don't take it seriously, where can she go when a little girl's house goes out of Wu's house! Mother! You must not be angry with Wu Yuan! β
After speaking, Jiang turned around and pulled Wu Yuan, and said in a panic: "Yuan Niang is obedient, quickly admit your mistakes to your grandmother, we know that you are wrong, good boy, quickly, quickly admit your mistakes to your grandmother, what your grandmother just said is angry words, don't take it to heart, be good, listen to your aunt's words, just admit your mistake with your grandmother." β
Wu Yuan lowered his head and remained silent.
She is really tired, no matter what she does, she might as well go to Qiongzhou with her mother, so that she can still be by her father's side, and she will not look at people's faces in the Wu family in the name of a bad star, live cautiously, it is really tiring to live like this!
This grandmother also made her feel strange, she knew the boy her grandmother liked since she was a child, and often whispered in her ear that it would be good if she was a boy, even so, her grandmother had never been so harsh on herself, not to mention that now the entire Wu family knew that she was a big lady who would be kicked out at any time!
The second aunt is still looking around to choose relatives, and she wants to send herself out early.
Shouldn't I have been born? If I were a boy, wouldn't it be different? In this way, there will be successors to the long houseγγγγγγ
Wu Yuan looked down and thought, only to hear a "bang" sound, grandmother smashed the tea cup on his mother's favorite wood red ground Sihe Ruyi Tianhua brocade carpet, tea, fragments, dyed the color of the carpet deeper, bright red as if dripping blood.
"You bastard! You actually took out the house to threaten me! That's how you treat your grandmother?! You still dare to mention the word "Evil Star"! For the sake of your calamity, do you know what the Wu family is saying outside now! Your second uncle flatters officials like that outside, and he's busy all day long, but no one dares to do business with the Wu family! It's all because of the rumors of the evil star! People don't dare to do business with the Wu family! I'm afraid that the Wu family will collapse and drag them down! β
The old lady took a breath and continued: "You are the eldest daughter of the Wu family, I can't do such a thing as driving you out of the Wu family, you go to Zhuxuan in the backyard!" After all, you are not the eldest son, this middle courtyard is a residence reserved for the Wu family's son, and it is not suitable for you to live, pack your luggage and move over in the afternoon! Don't come to Sanfutang to say goodbye if you have nothing to do in the future, my wife is out of sight and out of mind! β
After speaking, the old lady was helped out of the main hall by Mama Zhu, Wu Yuan raised her head and said respectfully: "Grandmother Xie." β
When the old lady heard this, her steps froze, and she didn't look back, but her back was a lot stiffer, and she slowly walked out of the middle courtyard.
