Chapter 14: The Wicked Always Sue First
"Greetings to Grandmother!" Bai Mujian, Bai Yunxi, and Bai Muchen got up at the same time and kowtowed to Old Madam Bai.
Old Madam Bai pondered for a while, sat down in the center of the room, and said, "Get up!" ”
"I heard that Xuan'er made a big fuss today, and even your father was alarmed, what happened?" Old Madam Bai glanced at a few people and asked.
Bai Yunxi didn't wait for their sister and brother to speak, and took the lead in standing up and said, "Grandmother, Xi'er is also here for this!" Just now Brother Xuan returned to the yard and began to cry, saying that his brother fell his inkstone and refused to compensate, and my sister complained to my father that Brother Xuan was unreasonable, and my father punished Brother Xuan for copying books! ”
When Mrs. Bai heard this, her face was really gloomy, and she looked at Bai Muchen, who bowed her head and was silent, this eldest grandson was really unlucky, so she asked in a calm voice: "Chen'er, do you say that's the case?" ”
Bai Muchen glanced at Bai Hibiscus, and after getting the support in her eyes, he saluted Old Madam Bai without humility or arrogance, and said, "Grandmother, this is definitely not the case. In the school, Xiaohuzi tripped over me, I accidentally touched Brother Xuan's inkstone, and I had promised to buy a good one to pay him, Brother Xuan had to ask my mother to leave me inkstone, I refused to give, he dropped my inkstone, and my father saw it, so he punished him! ”
Before Old Madam Bai could speak, Bai Yunxi was anxious, and hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense, Brother Xuan is the most well-behaved and sensible, and he respects your brother on weekdays, and you actually framed him!" ”
"Sister, don't worry, you weren't there just now, you should have a misunderstanding, grandmother asked clearly, you will naturally understand, don't shout in front of grandmother, it's rude!" Bai Mu Hibiscus said unhurriedly, as if he was thinking about Bai Yunxi.
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she immediately glared at Bai Yunxi, she was really unconscious, she was so disproportionate in front of herself, so she said: "What Jin'er said is reasonable, but it's just an inkstone, why does Brother Xuan have to ask for your inkstone?" ”
"Because...... Because it was my grandfather's treasure, the best inkstone, I didn't care about these, but the inkstone was prepared for me by my mother before her death, and I was reluctant! Bai Muchen's eyes turned red as he spoke, and now that the inkstone was missing a corner, it was too late for him to feel distressed.
Seeing this, Mrs. Bai was also sad, this child was born without a mother, pitiful. So he also accompanied the red eyes, and said: "Good boy, don't be sad, I don't blame you for this, Xuan'er is not sensible, your father is right, if he continues to do this in the future, I won't spare him!" ”
"Grandmother...... Don't be deceived by them, it's obvious that they bullied Brother Xuan, and Brother Xuan'er's inkstone was also given by his mother, and it is worth more than 100 taels of silver! When Bai Yunxi saw that his grandmother was protecting Bai Muchen, he immediately became anxious.
When Old Madam Bai heard this, she was furious and scolded angrily: "Bold, dare to talk to me like this, who taught you the rules?" Sure enough, it's a girl, you can't get on the stage, and you won't let me go down, and you won't be allowed to go to Brother Chen's yard to make trouble in the future! ”
Bai Yunxi was reprimanded by the old lady like this, and immediately cried pitifully, but was pulled down by the grandmother beside her, and muttered a few words in her ear, Bai Yunxi put away her indignant look, knelt on the ground and said: "Grandmother, Xi'er is wrong, please grandmother don't be angry!" ”
"Sister, that's right, grandmother and father are both distinguishing between right and wrong, you can't wronged anyone, if you make trouble, it is disobeying your father's discipline, disrespecting your grandmother, and spreading it out, others will be treated as my country's government without education!" Bai Mu Hibiscus walked over and pulled Bai Yunxi, and persuaded with a sincere face.
When these words fell into Bai Yunxi's ears, they turned into mockery, and she angrily shook off Bai Muhibiscus's hand, glared angrily, and said, "There is no need for the eldest sister to fake kindness!" ”
Bai Mujian retreated as if frightened, looked at Mrs. Bai with an aggrieved face, said that she was helpless, and sighed and retreated to the side.
Old Madam Bai's anger, which had been calmed down because of Bai Yunxi's admission of mistakes, rose again, and said: "Jin'er is right, you are neither big nor small, you have no respect for your elders, and you have no respect for your eldest sister and father, which will only make the Guogong Mansion lose face, and the credit that I earned with my life on the ancestor of Ningguo cannot be ruined in the hands of unscrupulous descendants like you, punish you for a month, and think about it behind closed doors!" ”
"Grandmother......" Bai Yunxi still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Mama Lan beside her, she knew that she had fallen for Bai Mujian, but she couldn't do anything.
Mama Lan took Bai Yunxi to retreat, but what Bai Muhibi thought in her heart was that Bai Yunxi was only ten years old now, and it was not interesting to fix her now, and it would be good to stay for a few years and let her taste her own pain at the beginning.
These people, she had to torture them one by one, little by little, tease them to applaud, and finally let them go to hell in order to relieve the hatred in her heart a little.
"Grandmother, take a sip of tea, don't be angry, I've been learning to make tea recently, how can you try it!" Bai Muhiscus respectfully handed the tea he had just brewed to Grandma Sun and asked her to transfer it to Old Madam Bai.
The old lady is a suspicious and sick person, all the food and clothing must go through the hands of Grandma Sun, in order to rest assured, Grandma Sun smiled and handed the tea to the old lady, and said: "This tea smells fragrant, old lady, you see, there are tweeds, the eldest lady is a good craft!" ”
