"Auntie is right, this porcelain vase is indeed an old thing left by my mother." Shen Ninghua had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes turned red, and this appearance made people feel more and more pity.

She was born without a biological mother, but the late Xia Jingyan occupies a great place in her heart. When she was very young, the nurse told her about her mother little by little, saying how knowledgeable, smart and wise she was, but when the family was persecuted later, she had to marry Shen Dong in a hurry. Originally, with her intelligence and beauty, she would definitely be pampered, but the fact was the opposite, Shen Dong cherished the concubine, but he was cold to her, and later lost his life in childbirth.

After she became the queen, she had heard about her mother many times, but she was reprimanded by Shen Dong, in order to maintain the little family affection left, she forcibly endured it, this time, she must investigate everything clearly.

"You kid ......" The second lady sighed with sadness on her face, holding Shen Ninghua's hand, "At the beginning, my sister-in-law took great care of me, she was always fair, but it's a pity that she went early......" When the Xia family was alive, the Shen family managed it in an orderly manner, and handled the affairs of the second and third rooms properly, which is worthy of her saying the word "convincing", but Zhao Yunxiang is relying on her identity as the eldest sister-in-law, planning and calculating everywhere, since this is the case, then she has to fight for the second room! Besides, who doesn't know the dirty things she and Shen Dong did?

Shen Ninghua comforted: "When I returned home and saw many old things for my mother, Ninghua was already very comforted in my heart, auntie, don't be too sad, otherwise it's mine." ”

"Well, the things left by my sister-in-law are very fine, I'm afraid none of us can compare, I remember that when my sister-in-law was still there, she gave me a set of noodles, and I will have someone send it to you another day."

"Since it was given to my aunt by my mother, how dare Ning Hua ask for it again, besides, I heard the nurse say that my mother once praised my aunt's beautiful appearance, and it is most suitable to match it with acacia flowers, so the jewelry on my aunt's head and face is secretly carved with the mark of acacia flowers."

The eldest lady's face became more and more stiff, staring at Shen Ninghua's innocent smiling face, and somehow the bad premonition in her heart became stronger and stronger.

The second lady frowned slightly and thought: "As soon as you say it, I remember that your mother will carve unique things on all the jewelry she gives away, and her own jewelry is engraved with azaleas...... Ah, I remembered this, no wonder I looked at the girl's jewelry and looked familiar, wasn't that something left by my sister-in-law? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone immediately followed the second lady's line of sight to look at the maid standing behind Shen Linghan. The maid's face turned pale and she fell to her knees with a thud.

Even if the husband's family is poor, it is a shame to use his wife's dowry, and even ordinary people are extremely shameful. If such a thing happens to the Shen family, it will be a big scandal.

The eldest lady's face was already pale, and Shen Dong's eyes looking at her made her even more frightened.

Xiao Shi turned his head to look at Shen Ninghua, but found that her lips were slightly open, and her eyes were looking at the hairpin on the girl's head, with pain and disbelief.

The second lady seemed to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and stood aside silently, at this time, she had already laughed in her heart, and she was happier than anyone else to see the joke of the eldest lady Zhao Yunxiang.

"What's going on?" Shen Dong asked coldly, the Zhao family has always kept the backyard in order, and he never asked much, but he didn't expect the Zhao family to do such an ugly thing, once it spreads, tomorrow I am afraid that the excerpt that will participate in his participation will appear on the emperor's imperial case!

Shen Linghan's eyes moved, and he explained with a smile: "Father, Bang Xiang's sister has served her mother, and she herself has stayed with her mother for a few days. That day, Bang Xiang saw this hairpin and cried, I asked to know that she missed her mother very much, so she privately decided to give her the hairpin, Linghan made his own opinion, and asked his father to punish. As he spoke, he got up and knelt down in front of Shen Dong.

Hearing the explanation, Shen Dong's face became gentle, and he personally got up to help Shen Linghan up, and his tone was very doting: "Your child has always been kind-hearted, although this incident is inappropriate, but in the end, it is also out of kindness, just punish or something." ”

"Thank you, father."

Looking at the scene of filial piety of the father and daughter in front of him, Shen Ninghua's hand in the sleeve slowly clenched, the father and daughter are really shameless, such far-fetched lies are sincere!

Shen Linghan has always been the pearl of Shen Dong's palm, Shen Mengyuan, Shen Yulan and many women of the Shen family after him were all used as bargaining chips to be sent to the mansions of various dignitaries, or as steprooms or concubines, and used their lifelong struggles to pave a broad road for Shen Linghan.

"I was also extremely surprised when I saw the hairpin just now, I didn't expect that there was this reason, did Mama Zhou also serve in front of her mother?" Shen Ninghua asked curiously.

Shen Dong frowned, and his face changed slightly.

Mama Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "What is the young lady saying, why can't the slave and maid understand?" ”

Shen Ninghua paused slightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the clothes on Mama's body are familiar." ”

The second lady looked at it carefully, and rebuked with anger on her face: "That material is the late sister-in-law's at all, although this kind of fabric is not particularly rare, but the pattern is special, I remember that it was rewarded by the palace, what a bold old slave, he dared to cut his own clothes, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to suppress the blessing!" ”

Shen Dong's face changed completely, and even Xiao got up and walked in front of Mama Zhou. At the beginning, Xia Jingyan had a fate, and she was indeed rewarded by the palace, but now even if she is dead, these things should be properly offered.

The eldest lady was already pale, gritted her teeth and made a decision in her heart, turned around and slapped Mama Zhou's face: ", kneel!" I sealed my sister's yard separately and sent someone to clean it every once in a while, and you are arranging the specific things, but you tell me, what have you done? Zhao's face was sad, and his frowning eyebrows were even more painful.

She is in charge of the backyard of the Shen Mansion, how can there be such a big mistake, not to mention, it is very difficult to be a step-family in itself, once the late eldest lady is involved, she can't tell how she can speak, not to mention, the use of dead people's things, or imperial gifts, spread out The entire Zhao family will be affected. When did Mama Zhou become so bold?

Mama Zhou's heart jumped, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Madame......" I didn't know who I heard some time ago, saying that this material was beautiful, she secretly thought about it for a long time before she started to cut a piece of clothing out, and she just put it on today, and something happened immediately.

Zhao returned his hand and slapped her in the face again:

"Diao Nu, use your sister's things at will, what situation do you want to put me in? Old lady, old man, I didn't discipline my slaves well, so that they ignored my orders and used my sister's things privately, if this is known to my sister, how can I ask my sister for guilt...... Please also ask the old lady and the master to punish me, otherwise I will feel uneasy. As he spoke, the tears were already falling downward, which made people look really sincere.

Shen Ninghua looked coldly at Zhao's excellent singing and songwriting performance, his eyes were full of mockery, if it weren't for the connivance of the eldest lady, how could the minions below have the courage to use the things of the deceased mother, and now they are actually pushing the charges on a subordinate, it is really a good calculation.

However, she didn't expect to make a big deal out of it, Shen Dong was very concerned about her reputation, so she wouldn't let this matter get out, she just used this to get her mother's dowry back.

"Mother, ...... look" Shen Dong looked at Xiao.

Xiao Shi frowned, looking at the eldest lady's expression with a hint of imperceptible disgust: "Beat Mama Zhou for thirty boards and drive her out of the house." ”

"In addition, Ning Hua is also back, after all, she is the eldest lady in the house, and her biological mother's dowry should also be taken care of for her, after all, when she gets married, these are also her dowries." Xiao's words finally set Shen Ninghua's position.

Zhao, who was originally relieved, clenched his fists violently when he heard this, only to feel that his head was buzzing, Xia had been dead for so many years, and she had successively scattered her dowry a lot, and even every time she saw Xia's jewelry on those lowly maids, she was very happy in her heart. Where is she going to get those things back?

It's all Mama Zhou's cheap maid, who is arrogant on weekdays, and she actually moved her mind to the things given by the emperor, and this person can't keep it.

Feeling the solemn atmosphere in the hall, Shen Ninghua had sadness on her face, but her eyes were faintly full of smiles, from today onwards, she wanted to let the Shen family be shrouded in dark clouds all the time, these people should pay the price for their actions, now is just a small beginning.

After everyone retreated, Xiao leaned back on the couch and showed a rather satisfied smile. Xue Zhu knelt on the ground and helped her pinch her legs and said, "Old lady, seeing that the eldest lady is extremely smart, you can feel much more at ease." ”

"Well, I'll take some good materials and send them to Ning Hua later, she has been miserable since she was a child, and I, as a grandmother, have to take good care of it."

Xue Zhu responded in a low voice, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The old lady has always wanted to take away the rights of the backyard, but unfortunately the eldest lady is a powerful one, and there is still the Zhao family behind her, and she has been faintly pressing the old lady, and I don't know how long this Miss Ning Hua can maneuver between the two of them.
