Chapter 43: Sophistry
Zenga-in
The old lady's room is very tidy, with a simple reclining chair in the corner of the wall and the curtain of the Buddhist hall at the other end, which is relatively elegant on the whole.
The old lady was lying on the bed, the maid was by her side, and when she woke up, she opened her eyes slightly, and the two maids hurriedly walked over.
"Go get a basin of water. The old lady whispered to the maid beside her.
One of the maids walked out, the other helped the old lady change her clothes, and after a while the maid walked in with a basin of water, with a worried face.
The maid put the basin on the shelf, slightly in a daze, and looked at the old lady's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.
"Do you have anything to say?" the old lady looked at the maid, who had been with her for a long time, and knew her temperament very well, and would not be like this if she was fine.
"Old lady, the slave maid has just gone outside to fetch water, and I heard the eldest lady's maid talking to the other maids, and said, ......"
The maid did not dare to continue, for fear of being punished.
"Say it. The old lady's tone was kind, and she looked at the maid with a kind face, and the maid's heart sank.
"The slave maid heard that the eldest lady went to find trouble with Sister Yunying today, and ...... also beat Sister Yunying. The maid said as she carefully looked at the old lady's face.
"What? This Situ Yu is so bold!" The old lady was furious after hearing this, slapped the table with a slap, and then turned to the maid and said: "She is no longer a maid, she is now an aunt, and she will ...... in the future." You all have to call her Aunt Yun, understand?"
When several maids heard the old lady's words, they lowered their heads, and then said, "Yes!"
The old lady turned her eyes, Yun Ying has been by her side for so many years, and she has been diligent, not to mention, Yun Ying was given to Yun Xiong as her aunt, Situ Yu dared to despise her, saying that she would seek justice for Yun Ying, so she finished grooming, had no breakfast, took the maid, and went to Yun Xiong's study violently.
Yun Xiong was sitting in the study at this time, looking through the book book in his hand, the old lady pushed the door open, holding a crutch in her hand, Yun Xiong looked up and saw that the person who came was his mother, and hurriedly left the chair and ran to the old lady.
"Mother, why are you here?" Yun Xiong looked at the old lady with a shocked face, what happened to him when he came to his study at this time?
Puzzled, he hurriedly helped the old lady to sit on his chair, and he stood below, looking at the old lady respectfully.
"Xiong'er, you still know that the old body is your mother, and you don't look at what good things Situ Yu has done!" the old lady scolded Yun Xiong sharply.
Yun Xiong was confused, he has been in the study, what can happen?
"You don't know anything like this!" Seeing Yun Xiong's confused appearance, the old lady looked at him coldly.
"Mother, what do you say......" Yun Xiong looked at the old lady carefully...
"This morning, Situ Yu actually went to find Yun Ying's trouble, and beat Yun Ying. The old lady felt distressed when she thought about it, Yunying had grown up by her side since she was a child, but today she suffered this humiliation.
"Mother, is there any misunderstanding in this...... Madam, how could she go to Yun Ying's trouble......"
Yun Xiong knew that Situ Yu was sometimes more arrogant, but how to say that Yun Ying was also stuffed to him by the old lady, so he had to give the old lady face.
"Yun Ying was just sent over to you to be your aunt, look at it, she was bullied as soon as she came in! The old man looked at that Situ Yu, but he couldn't get used to seeing the woman sent over by the old body, and he was so disrespectful to the old body!" The old lady looked at Yun Xiong, clubbed her cane, and stared at Yun Xiong with a pair of bright eyes, and the anger in her heart did not disappear.
"You dissipate your anger first, and when I go back, I will teach her a good lesson. Yun Xiong looked at the old lady like this, and his heart was also panicked.
Whatever you say now, you must first stabilize the old lady.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and I saw Situ Yu walking in with a smile in his hand, with a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, and outsiders must be a good wife and mother when they see it!
"Xiangye...... Situ Yu didn't expect the old lady to be here, staring at the old lady with a pair of eyes, and then glanced at Yun Xiong, and finally spit out these words with a smile, and his tone was a little hesitant.
The old lady sat on it solemnly, glaring at Situ Yu with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"Meet the old lady. Situ Yu glanced at the old lady and bowed respectfully to the old lady.
The old lady slammed the crutch on the ground, Situ Yu was startled, it seemed that ...... It's Yunying's business.
"Situ Yu, are you dissatisfied with the old body!" The old lady glared at Situ Yu fiercely, Situ Yu trembled, and suddenly knelt on the ground, and the chicken soup was broken and spilled on the ground.
Yun Xiong was also taken aback when he saw this scene.
"Mother, how dare I have any dissatisfaction with you......" Situ Yu lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look at the old lady.
"Raise your head, you don't know, you think I'm bullying you. The old lady looked at Situ Yu and became more and more upset.
Yun Xiong watched from the side, and didn't dare to speak.
"Don't you dare to be dissatisfied with the old body, then why did you go to Yun Ying for trouble this morning!"
Hearing that Situ Yuyu didn't have any remorse at all, but pretended to be fine, the anger in the old lady's heart came up suddenly.
"Old lady, listen to me, I also have a hard time. ”
Situ Yu panicked in his heart, he didn't expect to be known by the old annoyant so soon, it must be a mouthy maid talking behind his back.
"Hardship? The old body sees that you have been running rampant in this palace for too long, and you don't even pay attention to the old body. ”
The old lady was furious, and her tone became more and more stern, and Yun Xiong saw that this was not a good thing.
"Mother, you dissipate your anger first, let's talk about it slowly...... Yun Xiong saw the old lady's anger, and hurriedly persuaded him.
"Say it slowly, Situ Yu, as the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't have any appearance, and you bully people with power behind your back, this is what the Prime Minister's Mansion does?"
The old lady kept teaching Situ Yu all the time, and Situ Yu knelt on the ground without speaking, letting the old lady scold.
"Mother, I did all this for the good of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As he spoke, Situ Yu's eyes were filled with tears, and he seemed to be very aggrieved.
"Then tell me, how did you do good for the Prime Minister's Mansion?" The old lady stared at Situ Yu with a pair of eyes.
Situ Yu said: "Mother, I just went to tell Yun Ying about the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I never thought that Yun Ying didn't understand the rules at all, and her daughter-in-law was just teaching her!"
"Teach her the rules, old man, where are you teaching her the rules? It's like rectifying Yunying!" the old lady looked ugly.
Situ Yu did not speak.
"Yun Ying is an old person, you don't pay attention to it like this, a few words are so strong, the old body sees that you just don't have any remorse. ”
The old lady originally wanted to warn Situ Yu, but she didn't expect Situ Yu to be so sharp and shirk responsibility.
"Look at the old body, you Situ Yu didn't take the old body in your eyes at all!" The old lady angrily went straight to the ground with the pestle and crutch, and the thudding sound echoed in the entire study, Yun Xiong didn't dare to step forward, Situ Yu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
The old lady was very annoyed in her heart, thinking that she should not have let this woman enter the door in the first place, but now it has become like this, how can a man, especially a man with high authority, have only one wife, not to mention, this woman is bold and reckless, and she is simply unreasonable!
