Mingyue was forcibly poured a decoction by her mother-in-law, and when she woke up, she couldn't speak, stared at her eyes, reached out to scratch her neck, and was so strong that she grabbed the blood path.

Ren Yazi looked at the two of them who were white and clean, with fine skin and tender flesh, if they were sold to Rouge Alley, they could be sold for a few prices, but unfortunately, one was broken, and the other was dumb.

Mingyue and Mingxin were led out of the Gongyue Gate by the teeth one after the other, and they didn't cry or make trouble on the road, like the walking dead.

Today's sky is cloudy, and there is a lot of rain, but it doesn't fall.

Mingyue looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, felt sad, bit her lip, and then broke away from the hands of the mothers-in-law, and hit her head on the pillar next to the door in the west corner, making a muffled sound, and she didn't wake up in an instant.

Mingxin was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, walked over tremblingly, leaned over to probe the breath in her nose, and suddenly found that she was out of breath.

Originally, I just didn't want to keep her, but I didn't expect to kill her. Mama Li was angry in her heart, she was afraid that even the old lady would have to be alarmed, and the old lady usually couldn't see such a thing the most, and she would definitely be punished for not doing things well.

Mama Li scolded secretly in her heart: "It doesn't matter if Mingyue dies by herself, it will affect my old face!" Thanks to my old love last night, I didn't beat or scold, I only gave a bowl of soup and medicine, but she didn't know the height of the sky and died...... Leave me with such a big mess. ”

Shen Yuechen heard that Mingyue was killed, and knew that he was going to be in trouble. As the grandmother of the Zhu family and the hostess of the west courtyard, she is so dignified and makes trouble, how can she get out of it.

Shen Yuechen didn't dare to hesitate, and without waiting for the old lady to ask for the guilt, she directly changed her clothes, cleaned herself up properly, and asked An to make amends in the past.

Mama Li naturally wanted to go with her, but the master and servant had no communication on the road, obviously scruples about each other, and each had their own plans in mind.

Shen Yuechen just learned a lesson from Mama Li yesterday, and since she was estranged, she simply took care of herself. Moreover, with her face, even if the old lady is angry, she really won't do anything to her.

Shen Yuechen took a deep breath and entered the main room. Coincidentally, the old lady would not rest in the room, but in the Buddhist hall.

Mother Zhao, who was beside the old lady, bowed down and said, "The old lady said, let the young grandmother go directly to the Buddhist hall to speak, and ask the old slave to go." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded and said with a smile: "Then there is Mother Lao." ”

When Mama Li heard this, she also wanted to go along, but was softly stopped by Mother Zhao: "The old lady said that there will be chaos in the courtyard on the west side, so let Mama clean up and talk back when she turns around." ”

Mama Li's steps paused, her face stiffened slightly, and she had to nod her head in response.

Shen Yuechen followed Zhao's mother all the way to the Buddha Hall, and before she reached the door, she could faintly hear a soft sound of wooden fish.

She looked down at her clothes and saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so she walked in slowly.

The old lady is sitting cross-legged on the kang with her eyes closed and chanting, and on the kang table in front of her is a delicate and gorgeous Buddhist shrine, which enshrines a statue of Guanyin holding a pure bottle.

After Zhao's mother sent her in, she withdrew.

Shen Yuechen hurriedly knelt down and asked An to bow his forehead and said, "The granddaughter-in-law asked the old lady to apologize for her sins, and asked the old lady to be tolerant." ”

The old lady was indifferent, as if she didn't know she was coming, and continued to close her eyes, chanting words in her mouth, while constantly rolling the Buddhist beads in her hand, and knocking on the wooden fish.

Shen Yuechen's heart tightened, worried that the old lady was really angry, so she deliberately ignored herself, so she had to kneel on the ground and remain motionless.

This kneeling lasted for a long time. In the past, in Jingyue Nunnery, she often followed the master to do homework, which would be quite affordable, but she still couldn't help her legs numb.

The hall was quiet, with only the crisp sound of wooden fish. But the quieter it is, the more uneasy Shen Yuechen feels in her heart, don't think about it, the old lady must be deliberately punishing her and making her kneel, so she has to kneel until she is satisfied.

Shen Yuechen knew that he was wrong and had no way to defend himself, so he kept gritting his teeth and insisting, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Finally, the sound of the wooden fish suddenly stopped, and the old lady opened her eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly: "You are here." ”

Shen Yuechen listened to this, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Daughter-in-law Sun came to ask the old lady for her sins." ”

The expression on the old lady's face was not as gentle and kind as usual, but her expression was faint, not angry or angry. "If you have something to say, get up and say it."

Shen Yuechen didn't move, shook her head cautiously and said, "Daughter-in-law Sun doesn't dare, daughter-in-law Sun should still kneel here and talk to the old lady." ”

The old lady folded her hands, bowed to the Buddha statue in front of her, put down the Buddha beads and said, "Get up." Your body is weak, don't kneel any more sick. ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law granddaughter, thank you for the old lady's care." Shen Yuechen held on to the edge of the kang and stood up cautiously, her legs numb and painful, as if she was being gnawed by countless ants.

At this time, Mother Yang suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and personally helped her and said, "Grandma be careful, don't fall on your knees." ”

It turned out that she had been guarding the room all along, and when she heard the old lady speak, she immediately came out to serve.

Mother Yang helped Shen Yuechen sit down, served them tea again, and then retreated to the room again.

Where did Shen Yuechen dare to sit down and drink tea, and when his legs recovered a little, he got up and stood up again.

The old lady took a sip of tea and said with a normal expression: "I heard that Mingyue in your yard died in the morning. ”

Shen Yuechen said in a low voice: "Yes, it is the daughter-in-law who disciplines the subordinates unfavorably, so that such a thing will happen, and the old lady is asked to punish Yuechen." With that, she knelt on the ground again.

The old lady said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "A little trivial matter can kill someone." Human life is at stake, although our Zhu family has a big business, it is also a person who keeps etiquette and knows proportions, and never bullies people and does things that make the family shameless. Now, a maid has died for no reason, if it falls into the ears of those who have a heart, do you know how many incidents will be born? ”

The tree is very popular, and the most taboo thing for a wealthy family like the Zhu family is to fall into the mouth and provoke criticism.

The old lady didn't know that Mingyue had a fuss in the middle of the night, and when she first knew, she was also a little moved, thinking about this kind of faceless girl, she definitely couldn't stay. But I didn't expect that this morning, she crashed and died at home, and she was even more unlucky.

"Moreover, you have only been married for a month, and the two big girls around Jintang have been killed one after another. Think about it, what will the maids and women up and down the family think of you in the future? What you know is that the minions are not sensible, and those who don't know think that you don't have the capacity to tolerate people, so you can't wait to be powerful as soon as you enter the door. ”

Shen Yuechen lowered his head slightly and said nothing. She knows that she has nothing to say, the incompetence of the minions means that the masters are incompetent, and the minions make mistakes and cause great disasters, in the final analysis, it is equivalent to her master making mistakes and causing trouble.

The old lady saw that she was silent for a long time, just lowered her eyebrows and listened to what she said, her eyes drooped down with water, her eyes were half exposed and half raised, as if there was a mist, she softened her tone slightly, and continued: "You have grown up in the temple and Buddhist hall since you were a child, and your ears are pure, so you naturally don't know how terrible people are, especially in a big family like ours, a good person can be drowned alive by spittle. A few days ago, I wanted you to learn to cook housework, and your own courtyard made such a big fuss because of a little sesame mung bean, which made people laugh and broke my old face. ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen had already heard some clues, although the old lady was dissatisfied with her, she still wanted to favor her in her heart, so she said these words and reminded her of the power.

Her heart settled slightly, knelt on the ground, straightened her back, and silently squeezed out two tears, which seemed to have condensed on her eyelashes, showing a look of true guilt, and replied with a slight choked voice: "It's all the granddaughter-in-law who is not good, and she has failed the old lady for your love...... It was a blessing from God to be able to marry into the Zhu family that day, and the granddaughter-in-law did not dare to live up to this blessing. It's a pity that the granddaughter-in-law is young and inexperienced, and she often has more than enough heart and not enough strength......"

As she spoke, she raised her head, blinked a pair of teary eyes, and said earnestly: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law knows that you love me, and I also know that you love my uncle." From now on, the granddaughter-in-law is willing to follow the old lady wholeheartedly to learn. If there is anything you don't think about, I hope you will give you guidance, and if there is anything wrong, I hope you will correct it, and your granddaughter-in-law will no longer live up to your expectations. ”

After Shen Yuechen finished speaking, she kowtowed to the old lady again.

When the old lady heard her words, she couldn't help but soften her heart, and when she saw her kowtowing to herself, she had to sigh, stretched out her hand and gently called her to get up, and came to herself.

Shen Yuechen took her hand and sat down next to her.

The old lady looked at her a few times, and then said softly: "Silly girl, so decent, what kind of tears are shed, it makes people feel distressed to look at it." Zuo is just a maid who died, spend some silver, and the cooking will be fine. ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, he was busy and took it when he saw it, picked up the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

The old lady held her hand and couldn't help sighing again: "I just said you, not to blame you, but to worry about you." Old lady, although I am old, my brain is not confused, and I know who is right and who is wrong. ”

Just now, the reason why she asked Shen Yuechen to come to the Buddha Hall was to avoid letting people hear and see anything.

A dignified grandmother of the Zhu family, if she is scolded and punished because of the fault of her subordinates, how can she stand up in front of her subordinates in the future.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, she glanced at the old lady gratefully, and hurriedly snuggled up to her side and said, "With the old lady who loves me and makes the decision for me, my daughter-in-law can finally rest assured." ”

The old lady smiled indifferently, patted her on the back, and said, "Silly girl, I don't call the shots for you, who will call the shots for you." Could it be that you really let those cats and dogs bully you? Now, you're a baby bump more precious than anyone else, and I'm counting on you to give me a great-grandson sooner rather than later. ”

Shen Yuechen pretended to be shy, nodded slightly with a smile, but felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
