Over the years, Qin Dongshan has also mentioned several times to pick up the old lady to Shengjing, but the old lady knows that she can be dominant in the countryside, and she has a son who is the prime minister.

If it weren't for the fact that her health has been getting worse every year, she would have preferred to stay in the countryside.

Sitting on the main seat, Old Madam Qin turned her eyes and glanced around sharply.

There were a lot of people sitting in the flower hall, Qin Dongshan was still in the court, and Bai Zhishui could only sit beside Mrs. Qin if she was unwilling. Except for Qin Mingyue and Qin Mingxuan, all the children in the Xiangfu sat below, and the other concubines in Qin Dongshan also sat on the side in a regular manner.

Mrs. Qin looked at the room with satisfaction, when people are old, they like to be lively, as if they are also young.

"Why didn't you see Ji?" Old Madam Qin's words made everyone in the flower hall change their faces.

"Bai's?" Old Madam Jean raised her voice.

Bai Zhishui did not answer.

Ji is the distant niece of Old Madam Qin, and if nothing else, this alone is enough to highlight the relationship between them.

"Hui, Hui, old lady," Liu got up tremblingly, "Aunt Ji is in the courtyard." ”

"In the yard?" Old Madam Qin frowned, "What is she doing in the yard?" ”

"Yes, yes, madam......" Speaking of the back, Liu didn't dare to squeak, and his expression of wanting to speak and stopping was very informative.

"What's going on?" Old Madam Qin's voice became more stern.

In front of everyone's eyes, Liu said stubbornly: "Yes, it's what Madame meant." ”

"Bai's?" Old Madam Qin is going to say something.

"Auntie!" A weak voice came from outside the door, and Ji and Qin Mingyue helped each other and stumbled in.

Both of them looked very embarrassed, their eyes were red and swollen, as if they had been greatly wronged.

The corners of Qin Wan's eyes jumped, this ...... It's completely different from the previous life.

The Ji family has always taken the route of wisdom, how can he take the White Lotus today?

Old Madam Qin raised her eyebrows, "What's going on?" Quickly help the person to the chair. ”

Ji and Qin Mingyue half-leaned back in their chairs sickly, "Auntie, did the journey go well?" ”

Old Madam Qin nodded, "You have a heart, what's going on?" ”

Hold on to this issue.

Ji hesitated for a long time, his eyes glanced at Bai Zhishui vigorously, and his eyes were both aggrieved and worried.

"Bai Clan!" Old Madam Qin held the shelf, "As the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is how you manage the backyard?" There is no room for people. ”

For Bai Zhishui, the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin's feelings are complicated.

Qin Dongshan entered the office, and was able to call the wind and rain in the court, with the help of the background of the protector, otherwise, her son would have to struggle for 20 more years. But the daughter-in-law's background is too high, and her status is even higher than that of her mother-in-law, and her heart is unbalanced.

Such a daughter-in-law can't be beaten, can't be scolded, and even the son has to look at the daughter-in-law's face, so aggrieved, no matter who it is, it's not happy.

finally had an excuse to vent, and Mrs. Qin naturally wanted to use it.

"Mother-in-law is right, since the daughter-in-law married into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the big things don't ask, and the small things don't care, it's all Aunt Ji worrying, these years, Aunt Ji has worked hard, and I don't know outside, I still think Aunt Ji is the main mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

When Bai Zhishui said this, Ji's face suddenly changed, and he wanted to argue a few words, but Bai Zhishui continued: "Such rumors do make Aunt Ji embarrassed, but it won't be in the future." ”

"No!" Ji Shi got up in shock, and when he saw that everyone was looking at her, he sat down resignedly, "Madam, you have been in poor health, and the master doesn't want you to be tired, slave maid...... Slaves and maids can help their wives share the burden. ”

Bai Zhishui waved her hand disappreciatively, "I am the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can there be a reason to let the concubine be in charge of the backyard, how can the master say that he is also the prime minister of the dynasty, outsiders know about it, and they don't laugh at our Prime Minister's Mansion?" In the court, the lord is also a person with face. ”

Say she's not tolerant?

The backyard is in Ji's hands, and she doesn't have a belly yet?

Although the middle feed of the Prime Minister's Mansion is in the hands of Bai Zhi Sailor, she also sends a monthly routine every month, the cost of entertainment in Qindongshan during the New Year's holidays, and the daily purchase in the house, etc., other things are not asked, so Qindongshan has a small extra treasury to play.

Although Ji was flustered, he also understood that this was Bai Zhishui's right, anyway, the expenses of the Moon Phase Mansion were all public accounts, as long as she and Qin Dongshan's private accounts were not touched.

"Let's get down to business, don't give me anything you don't have," Old Madam Qin was even more angry, "Why did you imprison Ji and Mingyue." ”

Old Madam Qin doesn't care whose hands the Xiangfu's Zhongfang is, as an ancestor, whoever is in charge of the Zhongfu doesn't dare to treat her badly, as for these people, how to fight is their business.

She wished that these people would fight harder, so that they would not learn to cling to her son one by one.

Bai Zhishui smiled slightly, "Mother-in-law misunderstood, Mingyue was infected with dysentery before, and the Ji family was not at ease, so she had to take care of herself." The mother-in-law also knew that dysentery was contagious, and the daughter-in-law guarded such a large backyard, so she had to think about the other aunts and children, so she isolated the 'lotus courtyard', and the daily food was also sent in from the outside, and they made it themselves. ”

Bai Zhishui had a frank face and didn't think there was anything wrong with this move.

"Not so, aunt! Mingyue is just an ordinary diarrhea, not dysentery at all, it was Madame, Madame deliberately said so......"

It's half the story, it's too much.

"Bai, what did the house doctor say? Although Mingyue is only eight years old, this incident will affect her future marriage. Although she was not born to you, she is also the daughter of the Prime Minister's house, and it is not good for anyone to spread such rumors, including Qin Wan! ”

Bai Zhishui replied: "Mother-in-law misunderstood her daughter-in-law, it was Aunt Ji who said that she vomited and diarrhea on the moon, for the safety of the lord and so many people in the house, the daughter-in-law had to isolate Mingyue first, and then asked the house doctor." As for what the house doctor said...... Bai Zhishui paused, and didn't even give Ji a straight look from beginning to end, "Aunt Ji can't trust her daughter-in-law, so she asked the master privately, and the daughter-in-law didn't interfere in Mingyue's affairs." ”

Therefore, whether Qin Mingyue is good or not, only they know.

"Auntie," Ji stood up, "Mingyue's body is almost better, thinking that my aunt has arrived today, so I took her out of the yard, just because I was worried that this child would be wronged." After all, she is a woman, and if her reputation is affected, she is afraid that she will ...... in the future."

Qin Wan on the side sneered.

Afraid that Qin Mingyue will be wronged?

What grievances can she suffer?

Isn't it just a bend and said that my mother used this matter to ruin Qin Mingyue's reputation?

Bai Zhishui didn't pay attention to the Ji family at all, but continued to Mrs. Qin: "It's not that dysentery is better, it's almost the New Year, and the daughter-in-law doesn't want people in the Xiangfu to be panicked, after all, at the end of the year, there are many people moving around in the mansions, and if the 'Lotus Courtyard' is kept sealed, it will not be a good thing for the Xiangfu and the old man to be seen by outsiders." ”

Old Madam Qin's face changed slightly, she could not care about other things, but for her only son, she could protect with her life.

Ji Shi keenly noticed the loosening of Mrs. Qin's attitude, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, but Mingyue ......"

"Okay, Mingyue is just an ordinary diarrhea, since she has recovered, then stay well, there is still half a month to go before the New Year, I don't want anything to make a mess in the house."

It's a trivial matter, if you want to make a big fuss, you have to make a big fuss, it's just a matter of her words, she doesn't want to make jokes at the end of the year, nothing is more important than the face of the Prime Minister and the career of her son.

Ji reluctantly wrung his handkerchief.

"Auntie, it's okay, you don't have to speak for me, besides, the sixth sister is also unintentional."

It's finally here.

Qin Wan smiled slightly.

"What does this have to do with Qin Wan?" Old Madam Qin was a little angry at Ji and Qin Mingyue's ignorance, she obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore, and they still clung to it.

Qin Mingyue hurriedly waved her hand, "Back to grandmother, it's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding." ”

"Grandmother, whether it's a misunderstanding or not, or it's a good explanation," Qin Wanjiao's delicate and glutinous voice was a little serious, "The eldest sister and Jiaojiao went to Xiaoqingshan with their stomachs, and the eldest brother and the third sister went together, and we had lunch together, and the dinner was eaten in the room by ourselves, and the food was ordered casually, but the eldest sister had a stomach upset." Jiaojiao didn't know what the eldest sister ate and why she had stomach upset, Jiaojiao and the eldest brother ate at the same table with the prince's brother the whole time, so if the eldest sister wanted to doubt Jiaojiao's words, Jiaojiao had nothing to say. ”

"The sixth sister misunderstood the eldest sister......"

"Grandmother," Qin Wan looked at Old Lady Qin very seriously, "If the eldest sister's stomach trouble is really artificial, Jiaojiao suspects the county lord of King Jing's Mansion and the county lord of King Zhenshan." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Qin raised her eyebrows, Qin Wan explained: "When Jiaojiao and her eldest brother and the prince's brother were enjoying the plum blossoms in Xiaoqingshan, they met the prince and the county lord of the Jingwang Mansion, as well as the prince and the county lord of the Zhenshan Palace, and everyone had a lot of fun together. King Jing Shizi proposed a wine order, Jiaojiao and the eldest brother didn't know anything about this, so they went to the hunting garden, and when they came back, they heard the third sister say that the eldest sister came out on top. This is a good thing, but there are not only princes here, but also the princes and county lords of various prefectures, all of whom are descendants. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the mother treats the concubine and the concubine equally, but outside, there is a difference. The eldest sister has stolen the limelight of the princes and county lords of various prefectures, and it is also the limelight of the sons and daughters-in-law. Jiaojiao and the eldest brother are ugly, but I am afraid that the Jingwang Mansion and the Zhenshan Wangfu will still think that our Xiangfu has no rules. ”

"Grandmother, that's not the case!" Qin Mingyue said with trepidation, "Mingyue is just worried about the stage fright of the eldest brother and the sixth sister, and she is afraid of losing the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she ......."

"That's it!" Old Madam Qin was furious, "Bai, that's how you manage the backyard?" Where are the rules? ”

Bai Zhishui doesn't open her mouth, there are rules, there are no rules, it's all said by Mrs. Qin alone.

Qin Mingyue and Ji stood tall with cramped faces.
