Shen Yuechen knew that the affairs in the house could not be hidden from Zhu Jintang, although he didn't ask much, but he could see it better than anyone else in his heart, not to mention, his eyes were poisonous, how could he not see the undercurrent between the two of them.

Chun Ming followed behind her, raised her hand to tighten the water-red satin fox fur on her body, and dressed her snow hat and stove properly, so as not to get caught in the wind and snow on the way.

Shen Yuechen saw Zhu Jintang's gloomy face, deliberately slowed down and followed him. She kept staring at Zhu Jintang's back, and when she saw that he was in a hurry, with a little anxiety, her heart was faintly heavy, and she followed in a little hurry.

Zhu Jintang returned to the courtyard and walked straight to Qin Taoxi's room, but suddenly felt that his sleeves were gently pulled, and when he looked down, it was Shen Yuechen, who looked at himself with a slightly nervous expression and asked, "Uncle, didn't you say the day before yesterday that the people in the grange below are going to come to deliver New Year's goods today?" ”

Zhu Jintang glanced at her and said lightly: "Grange is not in a hurry in advance, I have something to ask the Qin family." ”

Lately, there have been so many things going on in the yard that he can't pretend he can't see anything anymore.

Shen Yuechen didn't know what his mind was, and he couldn't keep stopping him from seeing the Qin family, so he nodded, let go of his hand, and something flashed in his eyes.

During these days, Zhu Jintang's heart was faint, and he rarely came to find the Qin family, and rarely went to others.

From the beginning, when Qin Taoxi first entered the door, Zhu Jintang knew that she would rely on the power of her mother's family and be domineering. However, unlike her sister Qin Hongjuan, Qin Taoxi doesn't seem to understand what it means to accept it when she sees it, and she will never give up until she reaches her goal, and often makes trouble to the end, which not only hurts her own face, but also causes her mother's family to lose face.

Qin Taoxi was locked up and grounded, and when he saw Zhu Jintang, his eyes immediately showed a ray of surprise, but when he saw Shen Yuechen following behind him, his eyes changed suddenly, and he got up and saluted after a while: "The concubine greets the uncle and grandmother." ”

Zhu Jintang sat in the main seat with a slight gaze, Shen Yuechen sat next to him, Qin Taoxi eagerly sent hot tea to Zhu Jintang, always with a gentle smile on his face, and every time Zhu Jintang's eyes swept over her, Qin Taoxi could always accurately grasp the good time and smile. I have to say that just looking at Qin Taoxi's appearance and appearance, she is definitely one of the best Peugeot, but her identity as a concubine, coupled with her competitive personality, makes Zhu Jintang's good impression of her fade and fade, not to mention, Sun's just had an accident yesterday.

Zhu Jintang took the tea she handed over, but he didn't drink it, so he put it directly on the table, and said with a cold expression: "You stand up, I have something to ask you." ”

Seeing this, Qin Taoxi hurriedly retracted the smile on the corner of his lips, it seems that the uncle is looking for himself to come to Xingshi today to ask for guilt.

She hurriedly took a step back, stood with her head bowed in an orderly manner, and waited quietly for Zhu Jintang to speak.

"I'll just ask you, does the Sun family's fall have anything to do with you?"

Qin Taoxi bit her lip lightly, pretending to be sour and aggrieved, and shook her head and said: "The concubine has not done anything, please ask the uncle to be clear, don't listen to the words of the villain, and be suspicious of the concubine ......" Before she finished speaking, her eyes immediately turned red, and tears flowed in an instant.

"Mingcha?" Zhu Jintang said lightly: "What do you mean by this?" To this day, do you still feel that you have been wronged? ”

Qin Taoxi gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, tears fell endlessly, crying and whispering: "The concubine is indeed wronged, Sister Sun has an accident, and the concubine is more uncomfortable than anyone else." But on the contrary, the eldest grandmother insisted that it was the concubine who did it, and let the concubine be grounded in the house, and the concubine was very wronged, but there was nowhere to complain...... Uncle, you have to be the master of the concubine. After speaking, she knelt on the ground with Zhu Jintang's legs, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, and she was pitiful.

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen's face tightened ugly again, acting like it, crying really, and whimpering sadly. If you think about it carefully, it's a pity that a talent like the Qin family doesn't do drama.

However, Zhu Jintang didn't seem to be touched by her tears, but just coldly ordered: "Come on, call me all the minions present at the time, no one is missing." ”

When Qin Taoxi heard this, he was shocked, and looked at Zhu Jintang with tears in his eyes, only to see him gently brush away her hand and say, "Since you want to be the master for you, I will just call the shots for you, and see who is right and who is wrong." ”

Although Qin Taoxi is nine out of ten, she still has some mind in her heart when Zhu Jintang says this.

Seeing this, Chun Ming immediately led someone to call all the maids and women who were in charge of serving at that time to Qin's room.

Zhu Jintang raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd, and then suddenly reached out and knocked the tea bowl on the table directly to the ground, which surprised everyone.

Before Shen Yuechen could react, Zhu Jintang reached out again and threw her tea bowl to the ground.

The tea bowl shattered, and the porcelain and tea spilled on the ground, making a mess all over the floor.

"Uncle, ...... are you" Shen Yuechen couldn't help but stop him, but he only heard him speak: "You tell me about Aunt Sun's accident yesterday, who dares to hide and lie, just kneel on it for a day and a night." ”

The porcelain pieces are finely broken and sharp, how can the flesh and blood stand it, and besides, it is still a day and a night......

There was an instant silence in the room, a deathly silence.

It was the first time Shen Yuechen had seen Zhu Jintang have such a big temper, and Ruyu's appearance was a little pale. At this time, Qin Taoxi's heart was also cold, making her body shiver unconsciously.

Shen Yuechen pondered for a moment, and said softly: "Uncle, seeing that the New Year is coming, if you always see blood at home, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Zhu Jintang said coldly: "Is there less blood in this courtyard?" ”

He no longer wants to let his family hurt his family for these family matters, so it is better to directly check it out at one time, lest someone take advantage of the chaos and add new trouble.

In his opinion, if there is one less slave and one clean slave who is useless, it is not a pity to die!

When Shen Yuechen heard this, her silent eyes darkened, and a touch of complicated emotions welled up in her eyes. Just looked at Zhu Jintang, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

When the maids and ladies saw that the eldest young master was ruthless this time, they were all so frightened by his solemn voice that their bodies trembled, and their faces turned pale.

Mother Xia, who was the leader, was the first to react, and knelt down with a plop, but she didn't dare to beg for mercy, just trembling and pressing her head to the ground, and replied in a low voice: "The slave will definitely be honest, and I hope the uncle will calm his anger." ”

"Say!" Zhu Jintang said a word expressionlessly.

Mother Xia didn't dare to avoid the important this time, and only explained the situation at that time clearly. The others did the same, repeating exactly what she said.

After Zhu Jintang listened, his eyes were still condensed, and he then reached out and lifted Qin Taoxi's chin, and said with a slight force: "Don't you still say it's not your fault?" Didn't you personally give that seat to the Sun family? ”

Qin Taoxi's face did not change and said: "The concubine gave way to my sister, it was just a good heart. The concubine thought that she was pregnant to show respect. ”

Zhu Jintang let go of her hand and snorted, "When did you become so respectful and polite." ”

Qin Taoxi's heart trembled, and then he bit his lower lip even harder.

Shen Yuechen interjected at the right time: "Uncle, I won't tell you, Sister Qin's temperament has indeed changed a lot since she was grounded. The concubine thought that she really knew that she had repented, but she didn't think about it, she was still so scheming......"

Immediately after, she told Zhu Jintang what the Qin clan had done before.

She hadn't said these things before, not because she wanted to be merciful, but because she wanted to stay at the right time.

Now, it seems, is the right time.

To be honest, after the Sun family's incident, Zhu Jintang also felt that he had been a little too indulgent to the Qin family in the past, just because she was the daughter of the Qin family, so she always turned a blind eye...... But now, hearing that she had done ridiculous things before, her face turned a little colder, and the Qin family wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but how could Zhu Jintang give her so many opportunities to defend herself?

"You kneel for me." Zhu Jintang pointed to the mess and said coldly.

When Qin Taoxi heard this, her body trembled, and the tears rolled down, she looked up at him unwillingly, and said, "Uncle, do you really want to punish the concubine?" ”

Zhu Jintang frowned and said, "Come and help her." ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone immediately understood, and knelt on those broken porcelain pieces with Qin Taoxi in both hands.

The sharp splinters stabbed into the knee fiercely, and it hurt to drill into the heart.

Qin Taoxi was in a cold sweat, his ten fingers were clenched into fists, and he endured it without saying a word, only listening to Zhu Jintang's deep voice, and said: "When your sister was in the mansion in the past, the family never broke their muscles and bones because of these miscellaneous things, and it was endless. The time you have been in the house is not long, but it is not short, but unfortunately, you have never grown at all, and you really can't even compare to half of your sister. ”

When Qin Taoxi heard this, his heart was even more tingling, and the pain was worse than the wound on his knee.

She suddenly looked at Zhu Jintang with a white face, only to see him looking into her eyes, and said word by word: "Read on your sister's affection." I can ignore the past for the time being. However, you don't want to say anything unintentional and coincidental in front of me, I, Zhu Jintang, have never believed that there will be any coincidences in this world. ”

It is both unintentional and intentional, where are there so many excuses that can be explained.

Zhu Jintang stared at Qin Taoxi coldly, his cold eyes flashed with warning, "From now on, you have been grounded in this room, this time it is not the eldest grandmother who is punishing you, but I am punishing you." If you dare to mess around again, I will send you back to the Qin family immediately. After speaking, he looked at the subordinates behind him and said, "Aunt Qin doesn't know how to be proportionate, you people should share her worries and solve problems for her, take a good look at her, don't let her mess around anymore, you know?" ”

"Yes, the slaves know."

Hearing the words "Qin Family", Qin Taoxi still knelt motionless, the hand in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and the blood flowing from his knee slowly stained the broken pieces, dyed a dazzling red.

Zhu Jintang personally sent a message to let the Qin family be grounded, this kind of punishment was the first time in the house, and there had never been such a thing before.

Such a punishment is heavy for the Qin family, but for Shen Yuechen, it seems a little insignificant.

She knew that because of the Qin family's face, even if Zhu Jintang was extremely disgusted with the Qin family, he couldn't easily drive her out of the mansion. This is the relationship between the Zhu family and the Qin family, once this relationship is torn apart, the faces of the two families are not good-looking.

However, Zhu Jintang had his own plans, he sent someone to clean up a place for the Qin family in the south courtyard, and deliberately drove her out from a distance.

Out of sight and out of mind, so that everyone can follow the cleansing for a few days.

For his decision, Shen Yuechen naturally agreed with it from the bottom of his heart.

If the Qin clan didn't make trouble, this year would be much better.

After a while, the four rough envoys of the Southern Courtyard brought the Qin clan over. There were many people in the yard, all secretly following to watch the excitement, only to see the limping Qin family being sent out of the yard by the mother-in-law.

Soon, everyone in the Zhu family knew that Aunt Qin was kicked out of the yard by the uncle because she caused trouble, which was considered a complete loss of power.

……

In the afternoon, the west courtyard was very quiet, and there was no sound around. But if you pay close attention, you can faintly hear the sound of a woman sobbing.

This intermittent cry came from Sun's room, and she was alone and sadly leaning on the pillow, holding a stack of baby's small clothes, her expression was in a trance, and her mouth kept murmuring: "Son, son." ”

The doctor said that she was in a trance, and she could not be stimulated at the moment, so she could only drink medicine to recuperate.

The old lady spoke, asking Shen Yuechen to raise Sun's daughter by her side to add joy.

The child was born prematurely, and it was necessary to be careful in everything to take care of it.

Shen Yuechen saw that Xia's mother was a safe person, so she asked Li Shi to come over and work as an errand in the yard, just so that she could take care of Sun's daughter.

The child was just born, and she didn't even have a name, so Xia's mother thought about it and said, "Grandma, you can think about it after the name is full moon, let's give it a nickname that is easy to feed first." ”

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Does my mother have a suitable nickname in her heart?" ”

Xia's mother said: "It's better to call it Yaya, the local atmosphere is heavier, and it sounds easier to feed." ”

Yaya...... Shen Yuechen smiled when she heard this: "It's okay, let's call it Yaya." ”

Mother Xia hugged the maid and coaxed gently, and said hesitantly: "Grandma, the slave maid listened to the nurses that this child is not easy to feed, always eats less, and has diarrhea. ”

Shen Yuechen said: "Mom, then let's have more snacks and let the nurses feed them well." ”

Xia Ma shook her head and said: "Miss Yaya lost her body in the womb, and she was born without raising enough, I'm afraid that the milk of the nurses is too hard, and she can't digest it." ”

"So what to do?"

"The nurses said that it would be better to breastfeed her at this time, and the baby's body would be stronger. However, Aunt Sun will be crazy again......"

Breast milk is naturally the best, and children who grow up on breast milk are strong and smart.

Shen Yuechen pondered slightly for a moment before he said: "Sun has always thought that she gave birth to a boy, in order to appease her emotions, let's find a boy to show her first, and then, I want to get more breast milk for Yaya." ”

When Mother Xia heard this, she was a little worried: "The child is easy to find, and the slave is afraid that the Sun family will accidentally hurt the child......"

Shen Yuechen said quietly: "Just take a good look." ”

Come to think of it, if Sun had seen his "son", he would not have gone crazy.

Xia's mother said that she would do it, and in the afternoon of the same day, she asked someone to buy a white and clean baby boy from outside. The child was only two months old, and he still had a faint smell of fat powder on his body, and his facial features were upright, and he looked very pleasing.

Shen Yuechen took a look, only to feel that this child was good-looking, and sighed slightly: "Such a cute child, there are people who are willing to buy it, and they are willing to do it." ”

Mother Xia lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, this child came from the wrong way, and his life was abandoned by others, and it is his creation to meet us." ”

As soon as Shen Yuechen heard "the way is not right", these four words immediately frowned and said, "Mother Xia, this child was not stolen and robbed, right?" ”

Although it is important to save people, there should also be a bottom line.

Mother Xia hurriedly shook her head: "Grandma, don't worry, this child was not stolen and robbed, but bought it for twenty taels of silver." He...... His own mother was a girl in Tianxiang Building, and she was born wrong...... The tooth woman said that there were fewer people selling children near the end of the year, so it was not easy to meet a healthy and white child, so the slave and maid gritted their teeth and bought him, thinking about dealing with the emergency first, and then replacing it with another one when there is a suitable one in the future. ”

Shen Yuechen breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at the child again, only to see that he had fine skin and tender meat, white and fat, and indeed did not look like a bitter child from a poor family.

Shen Yuechen carefully advised: "No need to change it." Our Zhu family has always been a family of buyers, when have we ever bought children? Moreover, this is almost the New Year, and the right is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. However, Mother Xia, you must keep your mouth shut about this child's life, and don't let others know about it, so as not to cause extraneous trouble. When the old lady asked, you just made up a lie and said that the tooth woman picked it up and sold it in the ruined temple. ”

Mother Xia nodded hurriedly and said, "The slave and maid have all remembered, and the slave and maid will secretly rot this child's affairs in their stomachs." ”

Shen Yuechen touched the child's little face: "Go and hug it to the Sun family." He is so good-looking, Sun must like it when he sees it. ”

Sure enough, as she expected, as soon as Sun Wenpei saw the baby boy, she was immediately surprised and delighted, hugged him, up and down, and looked carefully and carefully, and couldn't take her eyes off it at all.

Seeing this, Mother Xia tightened a string in her heart, for fear that she would notice something. Who knows, Sun really believed it. Not only did he hold the child and not let go, but on the contrary, he cried bitterly: "My child, my child is finally back......"

The child was also well-behaved, not crying or making trouble, and let the hysterical Sun hold him, his little eyes blinking, as if he really wanted to be her son.
