Chapter 45: The Insider
Originally, it was planned to stay in the temple for one night, but before dark, Mrs. Tai suddenly asked everyone to pack up their things and go home, Yuan Niang thought that it was because of the daytime, and quietly followed everyone into the carriage.
Along the way, Zhuo Wenjun and Zhuo Xiyu talked about the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, and it seemed that the two of them went to the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion to have a very happy time, but Yuan Niang always felt that Zhuo Wenjun was absent-minded.
Before dark, everyone returned to the house, and when it was time for dinner, everyone went to Mrs. Tai's place, and Dou talked to Zhuocai with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
After Zhuo Xing came back, Mrs. Tai asked people to set the meal, men and women sat at separate tables, with a curtain in between, Yuan Niang glanced at what Zhuo Xiyu was eating with her head shy, and really wanted to tell her that she couldn't see it through the curtain.
After the meal, the lady spoke, "Xiyu, I made you feel wronged today, it was my uncle and grandmother who didn't take care of the subordinates, don't go to your heart, there will never be such a thing in the future." ”
As soon as the words came out, several people in the middle hall who didn't know the inside story were slightly stunned, Dong looked at his daughter searchingly, Zhuo Wenjun lowered his head, so he avoided it directly, she could only look at Mrs. Tai above.
"Oh?" Zhuo Xing only let out a puzzled sound.
Zhuo Zhuocai asked directly, "But someone is bullying the eldest cousin?" Don't be angry, cousin will help you teach them a lesson. ”
Zhuo Xing's face sank, "Nonsense, where have you learned the rules on weekdays?" ”
Outstanding Cai's face was embarrassed, Dong felt sorry for his son, and stepped forward to relieve the siege, "He is just a child's heart, and there are no outsiders here, so don't worry about him." ”
Mrs. Tai also glared at her son unhappily, "Yue Cai said that you blow your beard and stare at you, do you still have me as a mother in your eyes?" ”
With the support of the Dong family and Mrs. Tai, Zhuo Zhuocai was not afraid before, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, as for Zhuo Xing, he only shook his head again and again, "Mother, I still have something to do, so I'll retire first." ”
Mrs. Tai thought that it was useless for him to stay, so she just let him go, and sure enough, as soon as Zhuo Xing left, the middle hall was not so depressed than before, and in Yuan Niang's opinion, the Dong family was also happy to let Zhuo Xing go.
This time, the Dong family dared to speak, "Mother, but what happened in the temple?" ”
Mrs. Tai's eyes flashed with a cold color, and her voice was flat, "On weekdays, everything in the mansion is in charge of you, and I can rest assured, but I don't want these minions to become more and more bold, and they actually encourage Xiyu to pick the flowers planted in the temple, fortunately, Wen Jun was in a hurry to find out, otherwise our Zhuo Mansion will be famous in the capital tomorrow." ”
Dong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up from the chair, "It's the daughter-in-law who was negligent." ”
"Okay, such a big mansion, there are many things, and I don't blame you for this, but those slaves who are powerful and dare to ride on the master's head." Mrs. Tai hates this kind of thing the most, others don't know it, but Mother Wang and Mother Liu around her know it.
At that time, Mrs. Tai and the old lady had a good relationship, and in the end, because of a slave maid, the two of them were hostile for many years, until the old lady died, and the two did not reconcile, which has always been a heart disease in Mrs. Tai's heart, so what she hates most is the person who forgets her identity.
At that time, the people of the Hou Mansion were in the bamboo garden again, and Mrs. Tai also asked the people who were present at the time to ask carefully, knowing that they must have seen the scene of the trouble, and the flowers on the other side were still on the ground, so they could guess what was going on without asking too much.
Now that this person has been thrown into the Hou Mansion, he originally wanted to marry, but I don't know if it will be affected.
Mrs. Tai's worry is exactly what the Dong family is worried about at this time, although she doesn't like her daughter, thinking about the future of Zhuo Mansion, naturally it is nothing.
"Wen Jun, when you went to see the eldest girl in the Hou Mansion, you could see that there was something unusual about her expression?" Mrs. Tai looked at Zhuo Wenjun.
Zhuo Wenjun didn't dare to stand up slowly, "It was only after meeting Ruqing that I knew that I was in the temple, as for the second girl, she has always been cowardly and timid, and she rarely says anything in front of her family, so I'm afraid that this matter will not reach the Hou Mansion." ”
Zhuo Wenjun lied a little, thinking that Yuan Niang knew the inside story, his face couldn't help but turn red, and his head lowered lower.
The second lady of the Hou Mansion is notoriously timid and afraid of things in the capital, and Mrs. Tai nodded when she heard it, "Then I will rest assured, you will write a post another day to invite the two girls from the Hou Mansion to come over and play, and also get acquainted with your two cousins." ”
Zhuo Wenjun replied, her head slightly lowered to hide her slightly moving eyes.
"Mother, I chose a few pieces of clothing today, and now I will take Xiyu to pick a few." Dong immediately stood up and said with a smile.
Mrs. Tai nodded, it was getting late, Zhuo Wenjun and Yuan Niang also got up and retreated, and under the distant light, watching the Dong family leave with Zhuo Xiyu kindly, Zhuo Wenjun's eyes were shining.
She turned her head sideways and saw that Yuan Niang was also on the side, and her smile hid a touch of bitterness, "My mother gave birth to me when she gave birth to me, I was born on a sitting child, and I almost killed my mother that time, so my mother was cold to me, but I was also thoughtful in all aspects, and Zhuo Fu, who I harmed, is now so thin." ”
Yuan Niang was stunned, no wonder Dong was so cold to his biological daughter, he didn't say much, he just joked, "Sitting on the life of my mother, congratulations to my cousin." ”
Zhuo Wenjun was still in a somewhat melancholy mood and was troubled by her, and inadvertently swept away, only smiled and went over to pinch her, Yuan Niang dodged left and right, and the two laughed and walked towards Xixue Pavilion.
In fact, the old people in the house know some inside information, another reason why the Dong family doesn't like their daughter, because they can't have children anymore, Mrs. Tai has always wanted to take a concubine for her son, how can a woman like to share her husband with others, but there is no way, and in the end she can only blame all her hatred on Zhuo Wenjun.
Fortunately, Zhuo Xing has always been against it, and this matter will not be over, but it is a big harm to the Dong family in her heart, she has lived carefully for many years, for fear of doing something wrong and making her mother-in-law dislike, and then taking a concubine for her husband.
These will only make her more and more dislike her biological daughter.
It's just that these Zhuo Wenjun understand in his heart, how can he talk to outsiders, he can only bury one place in his heart, but fortunately, except for the Dong family, the other three masters in the mansion all love her, and they also make up for this vacancy.
