Qing'er was busy inside, not knowing what was happening in the courtyard outside, and when she heard Su Cheng'an talk about the pearl being beaten, she nodded her head with hatred and said, "Didn't Miss tell us that we shouldn't swallow our anger?"

"They are my uncle's people, and the people in Xiaoxiangyuan are very afraid of them, and I am afraid that if I offend them, they will chew their tongues behind their backs, and the impact on the young lady will not be good. Pearl said aggrievedly.

"Silly girl!" Qing'er touched the face of Pearl being beaten in distress and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Pearl shook her head lightly and said, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, Miss, Qing'er, don't worry about me!"

After a pause, Pearl asked worriedly, "However, it really doesn't matter if we offended Zijuan today?

"What are you afraid of!" Qing'er sighed and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, Zijuan beat you for no reason, it was her fault." Besides, my uncle is our young lady's uncle, do you think my uncle will protect our young lady or a maid? What are you afraid of? Besides, you've been in Lingyue Pavilion for so long, don't you know your young lady's temper? How can your young lady ever let herself suffer! So, ah, you just put your heart in your stomach!"

"Got it. Pearl finally laughed, "I will protect myself well in the future, and no one will be able to bully me again!"

"That's right!"

Later, Jiang Yi came to Xiaoxiang Garden, presumably for the ancestral hall.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Yi first looked at Su Tang Anzai carefully, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing since I entered the palace, but I am relieved to see that you are good!

Jiang Yi pulled Su Cheng'an to sit down, and asked again: "I heard that the maid Yun Xiang who made the mistake committed suicide? Don't say that the third brother is suspicious of this matter, even if we are very confused in our hearts! I also heard that the third brother had a conflict with the eldest brother and sister-in-law today?"

"He's afraid that I've been wronged!"

Jiang Yi laughed and said: "The third brother has the biggest temper, no one in our palace dared to provoke him before, and it is expected that he can conflict with the eldest brother and sister-in-law for you, this is our Huainan Palace!"

"Is Tingjun's temper bad?" asked Su Juan.

Jiang Yi hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't look at him in front of you, he is dead and obedient, who dares to show him a face? That is, in front of you, he looks like a little white rabbit, and in front of others, he is a big bad wolf!"

After a pause, Jiang Yi's eyes rolled slightly, and then asked, "Do you really suspect that today's incident was done by your sister-in-law?"

Su Tang'an just smiled slightly, but did not make a sound.

Jiang Yi sighed slightly: "My father-in-law doesn't like fighting the most, so I didn't have the idea of fighting for the son of the world early on, and I followed him to be happy." The three brothers were originally considered to be harmonious, but they didn't expect that the eldest brother and sister-in-law would do anything for the sake of the position of the son of this world! But in the end, we are still brothers and close relatives, and we will inevitably have to take care of each other in the future, so you don't take today's matter to heart. ”

"Today's matter Gu Tingjun did not continue to investigate, and we have no evidence in our hands, what should be lived between the eldest brother and sister-in-law is still to be lived, and it will not go to the heart, but it is still Tingjun's words, this time you can bear it, if there is a next time, you will definitely not endure it again!"

Jiang Yi held Su Ju'an's hand, sighed and said, "You just married into the palace, and you were really wronged by letting you suffer such a thing." ”

In the west wing of Xiaoxiang Garden.

Zijuan covered her face and cried, and said aggrievedly: "I haven't suffered such a grievance since I came to Xiaoxiangyuan, even if the two young ladies have to be polite when they see us, where have they been so angry?

"Who told you to hit her maid first?" Zixia said.

"I can't guard against the foxes that Su Tang'an brought over, the two of us are not young, if the son doesn't accept the house again, he will have to match the little girl, are you willing? Those foxes are younger than us, and they look good, you said that if Su Tang'an stuffs it into the child's bed, what should we do?"

"If the young lady really has this thought, can you prevent it?" Zixia said with a smile.

"What do you mean, you're not worried at all?" Zijuan asked, "We live the life of half a master in Xiaoxiang Yuan, if we really match the little girl, there will still be enough to catch up with now? Besides, you are willing to give up your son? Anyway, I am reluctant! No matter what, Su Tang'an dared to let people beat me today, and I will definitely sue in front of my son!"

"If you sue, do you believe that Gongzi will slap you again?" Zixia said, "Haven't you seen it yet? Gongzi really likes our young lady, I don't dare to offend her anyway, which of the other people in our Xiaoxiang Yuan dares to be disrespectful to the young lady? That is, you don't have long eyes! Believe it or not, if you can make the young lady happy, Gongzi can sell you immediately!"

"And what now?" said Zijuan, "Shall we do it?"

"I don't know if I'll be able to stay with Childe in the future, but don't think about it anymore. Zixia said, "Who made you lose sight and don't know how to talk to the young lady, but make her unhappy! Don't you see that I am on good terms with Qing'er? Don't underestimate Qing'er and the others, the young lady and they love them, their words are sometimes better than the son's! In the future, we will have only one master in Xiaoxiangyuan, and that is the young lady! If you don't understand this, you should ask the prince to marry you off, so as not to be kicked out in the future!"

Gu Tingjun went out to deal with some official business, and then was dragged out to drink by Changsun Qi and others, and when he came back, it was already night.

When he came back, he shouted that he wanted to find the lady, and he didn't let the maid change his clothes, so he had to change his clothes herself. The maids had no choice but to ask Su Cheng'an to persuade the son.

Su Tang'an was reading a book, and put the book down helplessly, knowing that this was Gu Tingjun borrowing wine to go crazy again. When he arrived in the bedroom, Su Tang'an took off his coat for him, and Gu Tingjun yelled to take a bath. Su Tang'an had no choice but to have someone prepare the bath water, and let someone prepare a cup of honey water borrowed from wine for him to drink.

After Gu Tingjun drank the water, he hugged Su Juan's waist and refused to let go, asking her to take a bath with him. Su Tang'an smiled and asked the maids to go down first, and the maids snickered and retreated.

After everyone in the room left, Su Tang'an pinched Gu Tingjun's ears, gritted his teeth and said, "Pretend?"

"It hurts! let go! Don't pretend, don't pretend?"

"Still drunk?"

"Don't get drunk, sober up!"

"Do you want me to take a bath with you?"

"Yes!" Gu Tingjun shouted without fear of death.

"What?" Su Tang'an put more force in his hand.

Gu Tingjun and Su Tang'an made two moves, rescued his ear from Su Tang'an's hands, and then looked at his mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Lady, the hot water is ready, let's take a mandarin duck bath together." ”

"Get out!" Su Ju'an returned to the bed, "Wash well, your body is full of the smell of wine, you can tell at a glance that you must have fooled around with the eldest grandson!"

"It's just a couple of brothers who dragged me to drink, and I promise, it's all big men, not a single woman. Gu Tingjun took off his clothes with a big grin, Su Cheng'an blushed, hurriedly turned his head, and scolded: "Hooligans!"

"There are no outsiders here, why am I a hooligan?" Gu Tingjun laughed, and then soaked into the bathtub, "Lady, you are waiting for me, I must wash myself in incense!"

Su Tang'an sat on the bed with his back to Gu Tingjun, hearing the sound of water in the bathtub, his face was red, and he didn't dare to look back.

Gu Tingjun washed quickly, and after a while, he jumped on the bed and hugged Su Cheng'an from behind, and said in her ear: "It's for the husband to keep the lady waiting!"

"Are you wearing clothes?" asked Su Ju'an hurriedly.

"Does the lady want me to wear it or not?" Gu Tingjun teased.

"Get out of the way!" Su Tang'an pulled the quilt and wrapped himself up, when it comes to catching hooligans, women are naturally not as shameless as men.

Gu Tingjun also got into the quilt and said with a smile: "I'm dressed, I don't believe you touch it." ”

"I don't want it. ”

"Do you remember what day tomorrow is?" asked Gu Tingjun and Su Ju'an after a while.

"Back to the door, I remember. Su Tang'an said, "I also happened to ask about my body, and I asked my father and Chenguang to understand, I don't believe in my internal strength, and I haven't grown in this life!"

The two tacitly did not mention the day's events again, and after a while, they were both tired and fell asleep.

When Su Tang'an woke up the next day, he found that Gu Tingjun had woken up again, still holding his head with one hand and looking at him with an admiring expression.

Su Tang'an knew what he was like when he woke up, and he didn't know if this Gu Tingjun was too aesthetically weird, wasn't his hair unkempt and his face shiny at the moment, but refreshed and smiling?

The two did not speak, one pretended to be asleep, and the other continued to watch without blinking. After lying on the bed for a while, Qing'er and Pearl came in with broken toiletries, and whispered, "Miss, is my uncle awake?"

"Wake up!" Su Tang'an got up, and let them serve him to freshen up.

When I returned to the door today, I also wanted to bring back a few people from Qihou Mansion to see, so they were all more positive. Qing'er and Pearl were also relatively happy, although it was only a few days after leaving Qihou Mansion to be able to go back to see it, and it was not often time to go back in the future.

Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun both finished washing, and Qing'er went to count the gifts they brought back according to the list, and then they left the Huainan Mansion and went to the Qihou Mansion.

In the morning, the carriage of the Huainan Palace's Mansion stopped outside the gate of the Qihou Mansion, and the second lady, the eldest grandson Huiqing and Su Yulian had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for them to come back.

Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun got out of the carriage, and the eldest grandson Huiqing began to smile from afar: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, you have finally arrived, come in." ”

Gu Tingjun asked people to move the gifts in, and then took Su Cheng'an's hand in a bright way, and walked proudly towards the Qihou Mansion, which looked like returning to his hometown in fine clothes, and he didn't know what to be proud of.

Su Tang'an asked Qing'er and the others to talk to the sisters of Lingyue Pavilion, while she and Gu Tingjun and his wife went to the flower hall, and her father and eldest brother waited in the flower hall.
