Surrounded by water, there are weeping willows planted along the water, and the shadow is reflected in the water, and it is also a green lotus on the water, which really lives up to the word "floating green". It is the warm spring again, and the fragrant flowers on the dock compete for beauty, and the scenery is pleasant.

However, in the four-corner pavilion under the shade of peach, the young woman sitting on her feet was full of gloom, obviously not having the leisure and pleasure of watching the romantic spring scenery.

Liu Ji is less than thirty years old, but her face is already dull and haggard, her lips are dark and gray, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are wrinkled.

At this time, she looked at her biological daughter Liu Yinru and smiled, her eyes were shining when she raised her eyes, her heart was beating like a pound for some reason, and her fingertips twitched slightly with nervousness, and her face added a little bit of sadness that she should not have at this age.

"I'm agitating? How could I have done such an obvious thing, but I told her to be careful, because her mother was unhappy today, lest she be careless and angry with her. Liu Yinru shook her head: "Yaoying is an eventful person, of course she will find out what happened, Yunying followed her mother in the morning today, and casually told Yaoying about it." ”

Liu Ji slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but she always felt that there was still a slight intention between her daughter's words, she was not steady, and heard Liu Yinru say with a smile: "If it weren't for my mother's habit of venting her frustration and anger in front of the maid and maid, and listening to Yaoying's sharp mouth and damaging her aunt, instead of stopping and scolding, she rewarded her greatly, and she was not used to being as unscrupulous and thick-tempered as Yaoying. ”

The spring sun penetrated the peach branches, shining on half of the cheeks of the girl in the pavilion, and the smile became brighter and brighter.

"I've waited too long for Yaoying, a, to finally get burned for a day when she was so bold and arrogant...... Finally, she lived up to my expectations, and finally said those rebellious words in public, and my aunt was proud of herself, and she would not spare her this time. ”

Liu Ji only felt that a big hole had leaked in her heart, and she was filled with panic and fear, her face became even paler, and it took a long time before she stammered and asked the whole sentence: "Yin'er, you, you are like this...... Exactly...... Why? ”

The girl's eyes, which were already slightly amorous, suddenly had a sharp look: "Yaoying is a servant of the Qiao family, with her mother's support, and she has a lot of disrespect for A-Niang, I have endured her for a long time, and finally this time, see her take the blame...... After this incident, the mother is bound to resent the aunt even more, she is hesitating about the marriage of the Wang family, and she should also make up her mind to take it, the grandmother attaches so much importance to the marriage of the fourth sister, but the mother hates the grandmother for a long time because of the feed. ”

Liu Ji let out a low snort, almost didn't rush forward to cover her daughter's mouth, she grabbed her neckline, and the whole person was shaky: "Yin'er, how dare you call me A-Niang...... Also, what exactly do you want to do? If this is noticed by the lady...... Yin'er, is it possible, do you want to marry into the Wang family? ”

"A-Niang conceived and gave birth to me in October, why can't you be called A-Niang?" Liu Yinru gritted her teeth lightly, and the color in her eyes was even more intense, but she showed a little sadness: "I have self-knowledge, the identity of the concubine of the concubine, I will not think of the ten princesses, even if the Qiao family resents the grandmother and aunt, she will not be confused enough to let my daughter get this cheap, she is planning for the fifth sister, but in my opinion, the fifth sister may not necessarily receive her this kind of love, as long as the Qiao family is this matter, in the end, the people may betray their relatives and leave, and there is no place for the Liu family, she deserves the end." ”

Hearing her daughter simply call her mother-in-law "Qiao's", Liu Ji only felt that the sky was dark, as if the gate of hell suddenly opened in front of her, and she wanted to devour her mother and daughter, she shook her head again and again, and tears rippled in her anxiety: "Don't say it, don't say it, how should this be...... Yin'er, you ...... Why...... Lady, she treats you well, you shouldn't ......"

"Treat me well?" The girl sneered: "Although I am a concubine, in the end it is the daughter of the Liu family, although my grandmother is strict, but she has never been harsh, all the sisters have a master to teach the history of the scriptures, teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if there is no Qiao's, I am not worried about food and clothing, and I am not educated, but over the years, although Qiao's has not abused me, but I am more cautious and well-behaved flattery, however, she often insults Ah Niang in front of me, many discordant words, and repeatedly instructed me to provoke Xu Ji, secretly bullying the two cousins, so that I was disgusted by Aya and alienated from my grandmother...... Qiao's behavior is nothing more than using me to suppress Xu Ji, Aya doesn't like me, I have to rely on her, and in the future, I can only marry a small surname, and I can't do without her control, I am unwilling, I am really unwilling to be manipulated by Qiao's for life. ”

Seeing that her biological mother was panicked, Liu Yinru stretched out her hand to hold a handkerchief and wiped her tears for Liu Ji: "A-Niang once said that at that time, your grandparents had already set up a family affair for you, if it wasn't for Qiao's compulsion, how could you succumb to concubine?" Qiao's wanted to use A-Niang to solidify her pet and threaten Xu Ji, but A-Niang was not favored by Aye, Qiao's anger was A-Niang, and she used to be harsh...... What does Aya have to do with Xu Ji and A-Niang? Qiao's own, although he has two sons-in-law, can't he also be treated coldly by Aya in his heart? It is clear that she is arrogant and jealous and unvirtuous, so she separates from Aya, but she blames Ah Niang and indulges her servants and maids to ridicule her. ”

"It's all my life." Liu Ji was frightened and grieved, but she was still worried about her daughter: "Yin Yin, I shouldn't have told you about the old things, I should have counted my life, but if I implicate you...... It is even more a sin, and it will not be blind to death...... It's useless for me, I can't help Langjun's mind, so you have to be restrained by the lady, but Yinyin, your future marriage can be decided by the lady, but you can't ......"

Liu Yinru was full of determination: "Auntie, don't worry, my daughter knows how to forbear, and my purpose is to refuse to let Qiao's manipulate the marriage and hold my future tightly in her palm!" ”

——

At this time, Qiao's was holding the handmaid Yunying's arm, and he was walking outside the Wuyi Garden with frost on his face, and suddenly he sneezed loudly, suspecting that he was "humiliated" by the maid Xiao Shi and getting rid of typhoid fever, and he didn't think that there was the always well-behaved maid behind him who was "sharpening knives".

As soon as she thought of the situation just now, Xiao Shi took her with her, and whipped Yaoying in front of all the servants, and whipped it down, although it was hit on Yaoying, but it was also whipped in her face!

But because of the slywords of the three-room maid, she had to make a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, angrily reprimanding Yaoying for being rebellious and unruly, and should be punished heavily!

This breath was held in her heart, which only made her angry, and she was killed without realizing it, but poor Yun Ying, who was already worried about her sister's future, was pinched by Qiao's several times.

It was only at this time that Yun Ying felt remorseful, knowing that Yaoying was so violent and accustomed to indulgence, she only thought that the lady could really run rampant in the Liu family like boasting, and it was very likely that she would do irreparable things in order to please the lady. She really shouldn't talk too much, and tell Yaoying about today's morning lady's suffering.

In fact, at that time, Yun Ying was not selfless, but she saw Qiao's anger and chest, for fear that there would be no place to vent to find her missing, so she would be punished in a good manner, thinking that Yaoying's sharp mouth was in front of her to scold Mrs. Tai for her partiality, Xiao was shameless, so that the lady could vent a little anger, so as not to anger her subordinates.

She really didn't expect Yaoying to dare to be so presumptuous, and she was arrogant in her own yard, so if she didn't respect the master's family, how could she dare to say Jinhuayuan and directly hit the hands of the Xiao family.

Xiao Yuan locked Yaoying in the firewood room, and Yun Ying also spent a lot of words, and made suggestions, so that Qiao's plan was on Eleven Niang, originally thought that he was using the child's ignorance of the inside story, and was afraid of the blame of the elders, so he erased this matter, but he knew that Eleven Niang, a five-year-old child, was not deceived.

Although the Xiao family claimed in public that Yaoying would be sold according to the rules, thinking that the servants were vigilant, but in fact they were sending the lady back to Puzhou, but Yunying waited for Qiao's back then, of course, she also knew the temperament of the master, and she was so humiliated because of Yaoying, this time she was bound to be angry, Yaoying could not escape the misfortune of selling hard labor, and perhaps, her sister also had to bear the blame.

As soon as Yun Ying thought of this, she had no choice but to ignore her sister and persuade Qiao's bitterly: "Lady is angry, don't let people see anything at this juncture, if there are people with bad intentions, go to Mrs. Tai to instigate it...... The lady still thinks about the five mothers, and the marriage of the little lady is the most important. ”

Qiao Shi finally snorted coldly, and his hand lightened a little force.

Yun Ying let out a long breath.

"If there is no support from the A family, how dare the Xiao family do this? Her mother's family said that she would come to Jingzhao Shiwang, but the clansmen don't want to enter the political hall again! Today's humiliation, I am bound to get snow, the A family is nothing more than for the sake of the virtuous name, so good to the Pei family's children, if the fourth mother's marriage has twists and turns, wouldn't the world think that the A family has the heart to do it, her virtuous name can't be kept, maybe, the crime of forcing the stepson to die and the wife has to be turned out and discussed, wouldn't you be angry that the Xiao family is not in charge? Qiao snorted coldly again: "And when you see it, can this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law be so harmonious?" What kind of prestige family, but it is the word fame and fortune, and when the palace spoke, the A family had to accept soft flattery, but she was absolutely unwilling to bear the reputation of this harsh stepson, so she had to let the Xiao family block the arrow. ”

Yun Ying hurriedly said: "The lady is so calculating...... In addition to this incident, the lady has to remember that there is a Yao Ji in the third room, she is friendly with Concubine Yuanxian, maybe she can use it, and when Xiao Niangzi loses the help of Mrs. Tai, there will be a threat from Yao Ji...... How can you have the heart to take charge of the feed. ”

Qiao's eyebrows raised, and finally gave Yun Ying a smile: "Good maid, if you don't remind me, I really forgot that there is another Yao Ji." ”
