Chapter 20: The thief captures the king first

Chunyu was curious next to him, but he didn't dare to ask, but fortunately, after a while, the Cheng family came over.

"I heard my aunt called me."

The woman of the Cheng family is about forty years old, with a round face, and she looks kind, but her two eyebrows are deliberately drawn sharply and up, as if to tell others: I am not easy to mess with.

"Madame's backyard, you should know."

Xin Nian looked at the teacup in her hand, didn't raise her head, and deliberately picked up the master's shelf: Now she is no longer the waste who was left out in the cold in Qingliang Pavilion, these slaves and maids who have deliberately stepped on her and trampled on her, she naturally doesn't have to be polite and polite, otherwise these villains will look down on her, thinking that she is still weak and bullied.

The women of the Cheng family are also dignified in the palace, and they have really not been treated like this by any aunt, but this matter clearly shows that they are at a loss, and it is best if they are not involved, so they don't dare to blow up at all at this time.

Yin lowered his head and pursed his lips, and then said with a flattering smile: "Yes, the slave maid heard about it, but this has nothing to do with the slave maid, the slave maid ......."

Without waiting to finish speaking, I saw Xin Nian suddenly raise her eyes and look over, those beautiful Danfeng eyes, at this time, were like two sharp blades, piercing into her heart, and the woman of the Cheng family was stunned, and the following words were not said again.

"I'm not a patient person, you have to be careful."

Xin Nian looked at the Cheng family, and asked in a deep voice, word by word: "Let me ask you, is this matter in Madame's backyard really irrelevant to you?" ”

"Aunt Mingjian, although I am in charge of the backyard, this matter really has nothing to do with me, how dare I murder my wife?"

Being looked at and questioned by Xin Nian like this, a trace of fear rose in the Cheng family's heart, and they hurriedly defended themselves loudly.

Xin Nian said coldly: "You don't dare to murder Madame, but your prestige is not small." I heard that the sprinklers in the lady's courtyard are under your control, and they don't dare to go to the backyard at all, otherwise they will be charged by you, saying that they deliberately make things bad and harm your flowers and plants, is there such a thing? ”

"I ...... I didn't say that, it's just ...... I'm worried that those good things in the backyard will be mistaken by them. This...... As the saying goes, if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, those of us in charge look a little beautiful, but it's not easy. ”

Xin Nian put the teacup on the table, made a "dang" sound, and said impatiently: "Cheng family, you don't have to fight with me about this." Since you're solely responsible for that backyard, you won't be able to run away if something like this happens......"

The Cheng family was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat on the ground, patted the ground and cried: "Auntie, you can't wronged me, this matter really has nothing to do with the old slave!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Xin Nian saw that the Cheng family was going to roll around regardless of his face, and his heart was on fire, and he said sharply: "You don't look at it, this is where you go wild?" You are a housekeeper, and you have such a disregard for face, why should I scruple? You go out and kneel in the sun for me, and when you think clearly, you will talk back. ”

"Auntie, you ...... How can you treat me like this? I'm an old man in the house, and I used to serve in the princess's house, and you're ...... You can't do that to me. ”

The Cheng family was stunned, they never expected Xin Nianlu to be so wild, if she was dragged out and knelt for a long time, would she still have this old face?

"If you have served in the princess's courtyard, you are qualified to be a slave? If you are not convinced, wait for the master to come back, and go to him to sue me. ”

Xin Nian's expression did not move, and he looked iron-faced and selfless. Chunyu shouted from the side: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Didn't you hear what my aunt said? Drag it out. ”

The two mothers-in-law on standby outside the door trembled, hurriedly walked in and dragged the Cheng family out, and knelt under the sun with her.

Chunyu saw that there were mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law at the gate, and she was a little apprehensive, and asked Xin Nian softly: "Auntie, will it be too ...... to take the Cheng family's knife when you come up?" Reckless? Her man is the godson of the governor, and she has served in the princess's court......"

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, if you don't take down the Cheng family, how can you punish others? It's just that he has been serving in the princess's courtyard for a few years, and he hasn't served the princess closely, so he really thinks he can be domineering? ”

"But...... In case she ran to the princess to complain, the princess would already be annoyed with her aunt, if she reprimanded her for this reason......"

Xin Nian smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "If your master is willing to be disciplined for this kind of thing, it is his filial piety, he has no face to come to me to be angry, if he is such a fool, he will not hand over this matter to me." ”

"Yes."

Chunyu saw that Xin Nian was confident, and thought that when this aunt was a girl at home that day, the entire general's mansion was obedient, and Fang relaxed a little.

*****************

"These are some new satins from today, and I think they are bright in color and good in texture, so I asked you to come and pick up two."

Princess Liao pointed to the fabrics piled up on the table and looked at the Liao family with a smile: "Changting handed over his daughter-in-law's affairs to the Xin family, are you still uncomfortable?" ”

"It's not true, I know what my cousin thinks, and I should avoid suspicion."

Liao shook his head and smiled bitterly, then frowned: "I just heard that Aunt Xin made a big move because of this matter, and I feel that something is wrong." ”

"Oh?"

Princess Liao remained silent and picked up the teacup on the side: "I have been worshipping the Buddha in the small Buddha hall all day today, and I don't know what is going on in the courtyard, what is the Xin family doing?" ”

I heard that she took the Cheng family to the yard to kneel, and then implicated many daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law, and even sprinkled and swept the garden. I've heard people talk behind her back that she's not trying to check for poisonous snakes, but that she's just using it as an excuse to clean up all the people who used to speak contemptuously to her. ”

After speaking, seeing Princess Liao's eyelids jump a few times, Liao Shi hurriedly said: "Speaking of which, the minions chew their tongues behind their backs, and I also know that they are just high-ranking families, which is the case in any backyard, and my housekeeper has been secretly complained about many times over the years." If it's really to find out the truth, then what I didn't say, if it's just for revenge, I think...... There's really no need to make a fuss at home. ”

Princess Liao really frowned, and after taking a sip of tea, she said slowly: "Is it really such a big fuss?" What do the people in the house say? ”

"I also heard the girls mention it, and I didn't pay special attention to it."

Liao picked up an orange from the table and peeled it slowly, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that twenty or thirty people were implicated on this day, and the poisonous snake was not found, and the people should be inquired as well, everyone is not happy, but it doesn't matter, it's just the Cheng family's ...... After all, I used to stay in my aunt's yard, and although I didn't serve you closely, I was a little embarrassed......"

Without waiting to finish speaking, I heard Princess Liao say unhappily: "Sure enough, she is the daughter of the Wufu family, she acts recklessly, and she will repay her, I really don't know where your lord likes her, and if you have to hand over this matter to her, I said that she can't manage it well." Look, it's only been one day, what has it become? ”
