Chapter Twenty-Three: The Clouds Roll Over and the Rain Falls
Qingmei Zimei and the others also stood dumbfounded as if they were dumbfounded, until the old lady urged again, "Go quickly!" "I ran out of the smoke in a puff of smoke.
“…… It's not the beginning of the year, why hasn't the third grandmother had lunch yet? The little maid took down the leftover meals, and Tian's mother picked up the topic without a trace.
"Still having lunch?" Zhao Qing rinsed her mouth with the spittoon in the little maid's hand, and looked up at the old lady, "Even the granddaughter-in-law was almost cooked, no, refuge came." The soft and soft voice carries the invitation of the younger generation to the elders.
Refuge?
Tian's mother's eyelids jumped.
Didn't you come to intercede?
The old lady also sat up straight, "...... What's going on? A look of shock and bewilderment.
If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too big, he would have been sure that the old lady must have known it, Zhao Qing really thought that she didn't know, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "Old fox!" ”
This acting skills, the Academy Award winners are not as good as her.
She was angry in her heart, but Zhao Qing didn't dare to bring it out on her face, she pretended to sigh, "Don't say that you are shocked, please go back from you in the morning, even your granddaughter-in-law is bluffed!" ”
The word shock was vague, neither questioning how the old lady didn't know, nor climbing along the pole to echo the old lady, saying that she liked to be quiet and didn't dare to reply that she didn't know it, the more carefully she chewed, what she said was very intriguing.
The old lady looked at her deeply and did not answer.
"The matter is still caused by my father's visit to my granddaughter-in-law yesterday...... "I really don't know if the old lady really doesn't know, Zhao Qing recounted the matter in a slow voice," ...... Seeing that someone was in a sunburn, and if he knelt down and made trouble again, he would die, so he dared to ask the old lady to come forward to deal with it. ”
Ask the old lady to come forward and deal with it?
Didn't you even plead with her old man?
Mother Tian's expression froze on her face, and there was a faint impetuousness in her heart.
The old lady was furious.
"Aren't they all confined? How did you get out? I don't know if she was angry because Zhao Qing's attitude was different from what she expected, or because she was angry to cover up her previous "I don't know", she looked at everyone with a red face, "Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing?" ”
The big and small maids in the house knelt on the ground.
Qingmei, Zimei, Sumei, and Huamei kowtowed again and again, and said something, "I was afraid that the old lady would be angry, so I didn't dare to reply." And "the slave is going to ask the eldest lady ......" and something like that, and the old lady said, "Go and find out, what's going on?" In the angry shouting, there was a mess, and there were only three people left in the house: Mother Tian, the old lady and Zhao Qing.
Everyone knows that since everyone is out, there is no need to make any more dramas.
The old lady fell silent.
The soul-stirring silence made Zhao Qing's heart tense, he was really afraid of something.
She didn't dare to come in person before, she was just worried about this situation!
There were no people of their own in the house, only the old lady and Tian's mother, which meant that they said what was what, and once their words were contrary to their will, they put themselves under house arrest here, but let Tian's mother go out and spread the word, saying that she begged the old lady to keep the tansy and them...... When the matter is a foregone conclusion, Tian's mother and others will personally "escort" him back to Lijing Pavilion.
The wood is already in the boat, even if she is free, can she still resist?
told everyone that she didn't intercede for everyone but was under house arrest, and it was Tian's mother who was lying...... Will anyone believe it?
From the warm welcome to the anger to the chilling silence, the old lady's means of turning the clouds and rain in an instant made Zhao Qing completely sober up.
No matter how fierce and spicy she was in her previous life, she was full of wisdom and scheming to let her live a lifetime longer than these people, in front of the old lady...... No, it should be said that in the face of absolute power, how fragile and vulnerable!
The difference is too great.
She and the old lady are not heavyweights at all!
Thinking about it, Yu Guang saw that Tian's mother's lips moved, and there was a showdown, Zhao Qing spoke first, "Speaking of which, it was because I was young and ignorant and reckless, so I let the old lady say something insincere in front of my father......"
Before negotiating, it is easiest for the other party to let down their guard.
Sure enough, the corners of the old lady's mouth moved, and a faint smile flashed.
Zhao Qing continued, "Last night, when I heard that Bao Jin said that there were only a few people in Lijing Pavilion who were responsible for the living and eating of the granddaughter-in-law, and most of them were innocent, the granddaughter-in-law regretted it, so I wondered how I could ask for a favor for them when the old lady was angry in two days...... Although it is the old lady's personal promise to her father, the granddaughter-in-law can come forward to intercede, and the old lady is not a broken promise......"
The corners of Tian's mother showed a hint of mockery.
What is soft, can you continue to hold on, and then continue to bite the and pretend to be hard, and continue to say that please ask the old lady to deal with it.
Ants shake the tree, it's really beyond their strength!
"Kicking out all the people in Lijing Pavilion at once is indeed wronging some people." The old lady's expression also eased, and she said bluntly, "Sage Cloud, wake up three times a day, Xue Ying can do this at a young age, it's very good." ”
In other words, she was in favor of putting everyone back.
Zhao Qing covered his mouth and smiled, "...... The granddaughter-in-law is not a good face, so she wants to delay it for a few days to find a good excuse. ”
The old lady snorted.
Zhao Qing's expression suddenly straightened, "Who knows, everyone suddenly knelt at the door of Lijing Pavilion and begged their granddaughter-in-law to let them go...... made the granddaughter-in-law dare not intercede for them anymore. ”
“…… How? ”
The old lady Tian's mother also looked right.
Especially Mother Tian, her heart fluttered and fluttered, and she said secretly, "What kind of moth is she going to come out of?" ”
They have all become turtles in urns, can she make any more big waves?
The voice was deliberately paused, and it was not until the old lady's face showed urgency that Zhao Qing made a helpless face.
“…… You think. She looked at the old lady, "I knew that it was the old lady who gave the order, so I didn't come to beg you, but went to beg my granddaughter-in-law...... How can your daughter-in-law be your master, saying in public that your punishment yesterday was inappropriate and wronged everyone...... Refutation of your words? ”
Tian's mother almost got her nose crooked.
Nonsense, the bell must be tied to the bell, this matter is caused by you, naturally it has to be solved from you, who asked you to be the master, to refute the old lady's words?
It's self-inflicted!
"You mean, you want to ask for your help, right?" Seeing that she was pretending to be deaf and stupid, Tian's mother simply reminded kindly.
"Not really!"
Zhao Qing pursed his mouth, revealing an aggrieved child.
It's really hard to answer.
I picked it up, saying that I knew it like a child, but if I didn't pick it up, I was stopped by her crooked reasoning!
Tian's mother opened her mouth and was blocked there.
"It would be nice if things were really like what Tian's mother said." has to be cheap and obedient, Zhao Qing changed his words, "If you really want your granddaughter-in-law to help intercede, you just need to recommend a mother with decent status to come forward and talk to your granddaughter-in-law...... is worried that there is no step down, there is such a good opportunity, how can the granddaughter-in-law disagree? ”
The old lady nodded involuntarily.
Zhao Qing changed the topic, "Now they gather the crowd to kneel down their granddaughter-in-law, open their mouths and beg their granddaughter-in-law to spare them, and shut up and beg their granddaughter-in-law to spare them, but granddaughter-in-law is just a bride who has only been in the door for three days...... Besides, it's not the order of the granddaughter-in-law to chase them, how can you spare them? Where did they get the right to spare them! The slightly high tone revealed an undisguised grievance," ...... Now that everyone knows about it, I'm afraid that my relatives and friends in the guest room have laughed off my big teeth! "Shen Huaiyu has just entered the funeral, and the guests who came to mourn have not finished yet.
This thing is too reckless!
Hearing this, even Tian's mother's face, which was originally slanderous, changed color, and a layer of fine sweat oozed from her forehead.
"It's so troublesome that even if your granddaughter-in-law wants to intercede now, you won't agree."
"Why?" Seeing that the old lady nodded in agreement, Tian's mother blurted out.
That's what she's waiting for!
"If the old lady lets everyone go at my request, what I know is that the old lady is kind-hearted and gives face to my new granddaughter-in-law who has only been in the door for three days." Zhao Qing took advantage of the situation to explain, "I don't know, I thought that everyone was bullying me as a new widow, knowing that this matter was an old lady's personal promise to my father, but forced me to intercede so as to block my father's mouth." Sighing, "It's so big now, I can't hide it anymore, my father feels sorry for me, and he won't say anything if I'm angry at my in-laws." Once again, he emphasized that this was the promise of the Shen family to the other master, "I'm afraid that it will spread outside, and I should say that the old lady is a bully and allows everyone to bully a widow!" ”
Tian's mother shuddered.
The old lady's face had turned blue-purple.
Zhao Qing didn't do it, and continued, "I will also say that the old lady, you have changed your orders and reversed your word, such a big Shen Mansion has no majesty at all, and when the minions gather to make trouble, everything is easy to discuss, and there are no rules!" ”
The air was surprisingly quiet.
I always felt that what I said was wrong, but I turned it over and broke it word by word, crumpled it and chewed it slowly, Tian's mother found that everything Zhao Qing said was true, and even if she searched her intestines and scraped her stomach, she couldn't find a word of rebuttal!
If those people outside are really released, the Fang family will not do anything, just release these rumors, and the Shen family will immediately be accused of breaking the backbone.
And this is precisely the most taboo for the old lady!
Cold sweat ran down his forehead.
Tian's mother scolded in her heart.
"What a bunch of stupid pigs!"
How can you let everyone go to see the excitement and not stop it, as Zhao Qing said, the third master has just been funeral, and the mourners who are far away are still living in the house, and it is difficult not to spread it outside the house!
Wouldn't it be said that the third master was not cold in his bones, so he bullied his widow?
Ruotian's mother knew that this was specially arranged by the eldest lady, just to make Zhao Qing lose face in front of the minions, and completely lose her prestige in the mansion in the future, and it would be difficult to move an inch, and she would probably vomit blood.
"Steward Chuanliang."
The old lady's voice was faint, and she couldn't hear a trace of emotion, but suddenly the sky was clear, and Tian's mother's ears were buzzing.
"Old Lady ......"
Trying to say something, and fighting for it again, seeing that there was an undoubted determination in the old lady's expression, Tian's mother hurriedly answered again.
Mr. Liang was quickly brought in.
"Take a few more people...... the old lady's voice was slow, and there was no emotion on her face, "Go and tie up all those people at the gate of Lijing Pavilion and send them out of the house immediately!" ”
"This, this, old ...... The old lady ......" Steward Liang was pale and incoherent.
"Go ahead." The old lady waved her hand.
Mr. Liang turned his gaze around pleadingly.
Tian's mother was pale and didn't say a word.
Zhao Qing was sitting precariously, and in his condensed gaze, there was a kind of coercion that could not be disobeyed.
Manager Liang couldn't help but shudder, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back instantly, and he responded in a proper manner.
It's done!
Zhao Qing secretly clenched his small fist.
Suddenly found that after only a moment, her palms were already full of sweat.
