Chapter 32: Shortness of Breath

It will be the middle of the night, and Shouzhongju suddenly made a noise.

The old lady heard the commotion, but she turned a deaf ear, and the people who were grateful also heard it. At that time, Yu Qi couldn't sleep, thinking about the pure light of Xianyuan'an coming to Zhuangfu.

Zisu and Sanxi were worried that Yu Qi was too worried, and every once in a while, Zizi would go into the house to see if she was asleep. After all, there are so many guests during the day, and they also eat wine.

Hearing the commotion coming from Shouzhongju, it was Zisu who saw Yu Qi walking out of the door for a while.

Sanxi also came over in a startled manner, and asked Zisu in a low voice: "Girl, what's wrong outside?" ”

Zi Su looked at Sanxi with suspicious eyes. She didn't know.

Afterwards, the two closed the door of Yu Qi's room, put on a dress, and walked out of the hospital with a lamp, and went to the gate of the courtyard. When I approached the courtyard gate, I saw a candle light in the courtyard of Shouzhongju, and piles of people stood around.

On the first steps of Shouzhongju Gate, the second old man Zhuang Lu knelt there, and there was a person kneeling in the courtyard below, because there were some people standing around to block it, and I couldn't see who was standing.

Sanxi was curious, and involuntarily wanted to go out to find out, but Zisu grabbed her and shook her head to signal not to go.

Sanxi muttered: "The second master is kneeling!" Don't know what's going on? ”

Zisu said in disgust: "It has nothing to do with us. Then he urged Sanxi to go back.

Sanxi was reluctant to leave and wanted to see it again.

At this moment, seeing Zhu'er coming out of the house, he stopped in front of Zhuang Lu first, and whispered a few words, Zhuang Lu sighed and shook his head, but didn't say anything. Zhu'er looked very embarrassed and helpless, and moved down the steps and went into the crowd.

Then I heard Zhu'er say softly: "Madam, it's late at night, you guys go back first!" The old lady had eaten a day's wine, and she was tired. ”

I heard Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying take turns to persuade again.

Later, I heard Cao Shi crying and said, "They all complain that I have no rules and make the old lady angry." The old lady wants to scold and beat, and she comes out to make a sound, so that I can feel at ease. I'm afraid that the old lady will take advantage of today's banquet and see me so unruly, which will annoy her heart. ”

When Cao said this, he only thought of his own situation and put on a pitiful look. When the girls heard about it, they all laughed when they were reasonable.

Zhuang Qi also felt that her mother had done this, and said that these childish words were out of identity, so she said: "Master, madam, you don't rest, so let the old lady rest." If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Cao said: "After tonight, the old lady will not be able to forgive us." ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Why is this? When I asked you, you didn't say. ”

Yes, Zhuang Qian didn't know why. Cao's concealment of the people in the house to invite the nuns of Xianyuannunnery to play tricks on ghosts is a big taboo in the Zhuang Mansion, and the rules set by the old lady every day, but she, as the main family, broke it first. In the final analysis, the old lady doesn't want to get along with the Cao family, but worshipping gods and catching demons is a trivial matter, and the people of Xianyuanan are implicated in Yu Qi, and the power behind this is the key. Therefore, the old lady was reluctant to come out to meet them.

Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying, two sisters, heard that the girl came to report that the wife and the old man went to live in Shouzhong to kneel the old lady, and they didn't know what happened. When it was almost midnight, I heard that people were still kneeling. So, the two sisters came with lanterns, and persuaded the girls and mothers-in-law of Shouzhongju, but it didn't work, and no one said what happened.

Right now, Zisu didn't want Sanxi to stay and watch any longer, so he hurriedly pulled her back.

Sanxi said: "Look again." On weekdays, people are powerful, and there are times when they are powerful. ”

Zi Su glanced at Sanxi and said, "How did you learn to fall into the well?" Be careful your girl smacking you! ”

Sanxi smiled playfully, held the door, stood on tiptoe, and stretched his neck to look. Zisu was also curious, and when he saw that Sanxi refused to leave, he took a few more looks. Who knows, a person suddenly appeared behind them, silently.

Waiting for Zisu to feel a breath coming from behind him, he turned his head to see that it was Yu Qi.

Zisu patted Sanxi nervously, handed her the lamp, and then went to help Yu Qi, and said, "Why did you come out?" Didn't you sleep? ”

Yu Qi looked at the people in the courtyard of Shouzhong and said: "Listening to the voice, it looks like the second wife is crying." What happened? ”

Zisu shook his head, said he didn't know, and hurriedly urged the two of them: "Don't look at it, go back!" ”

Yu Qi nodded lightly, and generally didn't want to look more, and turned around to go back. The three of them were about to close the courtyard door when they heard the old lady talking again.

Yu Qi motioned to Sanxi not to close the door first, and stood still to listen.

The old lady's voice came: "It is not yet clean day and night. Is this how filial you are? ”

Yu Qi opened the courtyard door slightly, looked over from afar, and saw the old lady standing under the door, glaring angrily at the people in the courtyard. Zhu'er and several other big girls circled in the crowd, raising their hands to signal the onlookers to disperse.

One after another, people scattered.

For the rest, I saw Cao kneeling in the courtyard, holding a wattle in his hand, Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying bent down to help her, and Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan knelt on the ground, motionless.

Zhuang Lu begged the old lady and said, "Mother, it's all her fault." It was my idea to disturb your rest so late. She made a big mistake, even if she knelt until tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, she had to let her kneel. ”

The old lady said angrily: "This is a good thing to say. I don't know what went wrong yet. Why do you bother to kneel to me? ”

Zhuang Lu hooked his head, straightened his waist, and knelt straight to listen to the training.

As soon as the old lady's speech stopped, Cao Shi knelt forward and said, "The old lady wants to be beaten and punished, and the right to see the old lady is comfortable." Today I did this rebellious thing, and I also know that it is not good, and it violates the daily rules of your old man. I deserve to be so enthusiastic and so sneaky. It's time to fight! ”

As he spoke, Cao Shi freed up one hand and slapped his face hard.

The old lady couldn't bear to look at it and closed her eyes.

Zhuang Xuan and Zhuang Ying felt sorry for their mother, so they grabbed it, and Guiyuan and Yuyuan also crawled over and helped pull it together.

Gui Yuan kowtowed on the ground and said, "Old lady, it's really none of our wife's business, I instigated my wife to do this." ”

The old lady opened her eyes and smiled, "Yo! Which master do you have the ability to do this? Your master can manage such a large yard, and you still need to instigate it? Do you curse your master for being mindless, or are you cursing me for being blind? ”

After Guiyuan heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and his head banged all over the sky.

Zhu'er and a few other big girls didn't leave, and when they saw that Guiyuan was too heavy, they went to persuade them. persuaded Gui Yuan, looked at her, and saw a touch of blood on his forehead.

The Cao family didn't really come to ask for guilt, as Zhuang Lu said, it was Zhuang Lu's idea. After returning from Shouzhongju, the Cao family was afraid that the old lady would settle accounts after the autumn, so he begged Zhuang Lu to come forward to explain to the old lady. When Zhuang Lu heard this, he was stunned, and he couldn't stop getting angry, and scolded Cao for being ignorant and unfilial, not only did he not help to intercede, but also asked Cao to ask for guilt overnight. That thorn was folded by Zhuang Lu himself and entrusted to her.

Now, the old lady is really angry, and she has no intention of calming down at all, seeing that her two henchmen are kneeling with blood, and the old lady has not let go of a trace of kindness.

So, Cao wiped his tears and sneered: "I deserve to die." Today is a good day for Miss Qi, and the old lady has lived it for her with all her heart. I am also her elder, and it is also feasible to pray for her in this way. If I can't say this, I also pretend to be an old lady in my heart, pretending to be a person in our house! So many things happen again and again, and if people don't calm down, how can you stop the rumors? ”

When the old lady heard this, she felt ridiculous, so she laughed and said, "What kind of rumor is it?" There is no ghost in the heart, how can there be a monster? ”

Although the old lady didn't know what the purpose of Cao's actions was, she asked God to cast a spell to catch demons, that is, she was not careful enough to deal with things on weekdays, and her heart was empty. Now, the high-sounding saying to be peaceful?

The old lady said again: "How can people's hearts be peaceful? How can you win people's hearts without virtue? I see that your evil thoughts are not to quell rumors and stop people's hearts, but to stir up trouble. You don't say it's okay to pray for the girl, but when you talk about it, I'm so angry! ”

Zhuang Lu whispered to the old lady to calm her anger, and at the same time scolded Cao's: "What nonsense do you have to say?" Then he instructed the two daughters, "Neither will you keep her mouth shut." ”

Zhuang Qi cried: "What do I do when the old man is angry, I will come to the banquet and go home well." What did you do with me? You have done the work of the transgressors, and you have taken our anger out on us. ”

The old lady said, "Don't kneel, let's go!" ”

Cao didn't dare to get up, so Zhu'er went to help. Because he knelt for too long, Cao couldn't stand up, and after a few strokes, he only got up half of his knee and fell down. Although Zhuang Ying helped, she couldn't pull Cao up and fell to the ground together.

Zhuang Xuan stood on the side with cold eyes and wept, empty-handed.

Seeing this, Yu Qi shook his head and sighed.

Zisu said softly: "Hear that? ”

Yu Qi said: "The matter of Xianyuan Nunnery." ”

Sanxi smiled: "Look, the present world." ”

Yu Qi smiled, turned around autonomously, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Unexpectedly, the three of Yu Qi's master and servant turned around immediately, and suddenly heard a "poof" sound, as if someone had fallen to the ground. Before the three of them could turn their heads to look, they heard Zhu'er calling the old lady urgently.

Then, Zhuang Lu was also calling.

Yu Qi opened the courtyard door and saw everyone kneeling at the door, surrounding the old lady, and Zhu'er holding her head.

The old lady was furious.

At this scene, Yu Qi couldn't look at it coldly, so he hurriedly grabbed the door and ran straight to the door of Shouzhongju. Behind him, Zisu and Sanxi followed worriedly.

Only then did I go to everyone and listen to the second master Zhuang Lu's urgent order: "Help in, help in!" Don't let you lie down! ”

No one looked at the master and servant, and no one cared about anything else. Everyone lifted the old lady inside.

Only then did he put the old lady on the kang, and the Cao family withdrew on his own, still kneeling under the door. Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying were embarrassed inside and outside the house, and they couldn't take care of the old lady and couldn't take care of the Cao family.

Moreover, Zhuang Lu was angry and complained constantly.

Yu Qi is an outsider, even if she is now the identity of Miss Zhuangfu, she can't say anything, and she follows Zhu'er and other girls to serve the old lady on the side.

After waiting for a while, the old lady woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she burst into tears, and said, "Evil deeds! If you do what you do, why bother! ”

Zhuang Lu knelt on the side of the kang and said, "The old lady is angry. ”

The old lady struggled, and said with tears in her eyes: "You have to look at me, you have to look at the girl." Today is a good day for the girl! ”

These words can remind Zhuang Lu that this matter is related to Yu Lu!
