Chapter 30: Liwei! Small Punishment and Great Commandment (1)
Zhong Zihong on the side looked at his daughter silently, and he was quite protective of himself between words, without any resentment towards himself, just mentioning that the Lin family would inevitably be dissatisfied, originally he wanted to reprimand, but thinking of the previous conversations, after all, he was ashamed of his wife, Zhong Xiao was sent back to Yunlu Xianju, he had long been regarded as an enemy over there, and he had no face to take his sister-in-law back to the house, and his daughter had endured a lot of hardships, the most important thing was that there was such a big event in the house now, but the Lin family didn't think so, and he was dressed up in a showy manner, without the state of a mastermother, so he dispelled the ideaγ
"There is Princess Lao to remember, Zhong Li is ashamed that many things have not been properly arranged, originally wanted to visit the door after a while, but Princess Lao came to visit first. Zhong Li's face flushed slightly, and he said modestly, and served a bowl of soup with his own hands.
Chu Xiangjun looked at her with a smile on his face, "Li'er has a heart, your mother and I are already handkerchiefs, if it weren't for your mother twenty years ago, I would have been poisoned a long time ago, where is there today." But since she married into the Zhong Mansion, she has never ...... again" burst into tears as she spoke, raising her hand to gently wipe away her tears, "Look at me, now saying this makes everyone uncomfortable, Li'er From now on, if you have something to ask for, you can come to Lingwangfu, and if you have nothing to do, you can also come to accompany my old woman to talk." β
Zhong Li smiled faintly, "The princess said that she laughed, the princess is brilliant, and she is not old at all." Zhong Li will definitely visit the princess often in the future, as long as the princess does not dislike it. β
Don't mention those sad things during the banquet, this lunch can be regarded as comfortable later. It wasn't until the afternoon that Princess Ling left with someone, but Situ Lin stayed behind and talked for a long time in Zhong Zihong's study until dinner.
Zhong Qinghe was imprisoned in the Fuyuan Courtyard because he was involved in Zhong Li's poisoning, and his every move was supervised. She had never been treated like this, but fortunately, those people were guarding outside the hospital. Now, only she and the Lin family are in the room, "Mother, that slut is simply hateful, and he has such a big life." And that damn bitch actually dared to bite back. β
"What are you doing here? Isn't it a big deal to be confined to this courtyard? In today's situation, we can't stand out, it will only disgust your father. Lin looked at her daughter screaming hysterically, and couldn't help but be bored, but what she was tired of was not Zhong Qinghe, but Zhong Li, who lived in Xinxue Courtyard.
Originally, it was just that he was not allowed to leave the Fuyuan Courtyard, at least the subordinates were waiting, but now not only the subordinates are being guarded, but there are also four ancestral halls outside the courtyard that teach the grandmother to guard the door, and they can't go out if they want to. Zhong Qinghe looked at the courtyard with a hideous face, complained dissatisfiedly, and cursed Zhong Li thousands of times in his heart.
Lin Yue looked at her so angry, afraid that she would do that unprepared thing again, "Qinghe, don't worry, the grounding is only temporary." And I want to ask you something, what did you think this morning, why did you put that poison on that set of jade noodles? Do you know that you were originally asked to send this over so that she could accept it, and then she could take the opportunity to leave you in Xinxue Courtyard to live. β
"Mother, it's not easy to live in Xinxue Courtyard, you can't cure her with your fingers? Besides, even if you can't move, it's even easier for your daughter and you to tell your father a lot to live in. Zhong Qinghe glanced at Lin Yue disapprovingly, and said dissatisfiedly.
Lin Yue sighed heavily, didn't speak again, poured herself a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you think I don't want to? Don't you look at it, since her words and deeds after falling from the horse are completely different from before, do you think we can make a difference if we talk to your father? Her biological mother is not a stupid person in the first place, if I hadn't been subduing and admitting softness, she would have been unsuspecting of me? Let me easily get my hands and let her lose her life." β
Zhong Qinghe didn't expect that her mother would tell her this. Although Feng Tianxue was not biased towards her and Zhong Li when she was alive, Zhong Li was a concubine after all, and she always felt inferior. The Xinxue Courtyard where Zhong Li lives belongs to the main courtyard of the Zhong Mansion, and all the regulations make her envious, as well as the name of the courtyard mentioned by the emperor's imperial pen, which is not available in the Fuyuan Academy. And what made her envious the most was that Feng Tianxue once took Zhong Xiao, Zhong Li and her to the Lingwang Mansion for a banquet, which made her envious at a young age. Now she heard the old things again, which made her instantly empowered.
"Mother, I understand what you said, my daughter was lost for a while, and her mother's arrangement was ruined. But now that it's like this, it's not easy to get it back. Zhong Qinghe sat on the chair and pulled the handkerchief in his hand.
Lin Yue looked at her like this, shook her head helplessly, and softened her voice, "Qinghe, you have to know a lot of things, we can't do it too obviously, especially when your father is in the mansion, we must be on guard against that Zhong Li." A few times ago, I also fell for her way and suffered a loss. All, remember that no matter what happens next, you must lower your posture, and you must be as aggrieved as you are, if I am not wrong, your father will definitely let you go to see him after dinner, and you will ...... when the time comes" Lin whispered in a low voice, only to see Zhong Qinghe's face showing a smug smile.
Zhong Qinghe personally poured tea for Lin Yue and sat aside obediently, "It's still the mother who is smart, and the daughter knows how to do it." But...... If the slut was there, I'm afraid she would ...... if she said that" At that moment, a loud noise sounded from outside the door, interrupting her.
"Dinner is coming, let's eat!" Jiao Yin's slightly burly body was outside the door, and she brought the food box in with a sharp voice, quickly put four dishes and one soup on the table of the eight immortals, and turned around and walked out without saying much.
Lin glanced at the food on the table, his face was instantly full of anger, and he scolded sharply, "What a bold minion! It is so bold, although I was grounded by the master, but I did not take away my identity, no matter how bad I am, I am also the second room of the master, you dare to send this kind of pig and dog that does not eat into the Fuyuan Courtyard, it is simply the opposite." β
The teaching grandmother who walked to the door paused slightly, turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, "Aunt Lin, this meal is prepared according to your position in the mansion, although you were ordered by the master to be grounded in the Fuyuan Courtyard, but no other punishment was ordered, and the old woman did not dare to detain you without authorization." Since, Aunt Lin thinks that this food can't be eaten, so it's okay not to eat. Tomorrow morning, the old woman will naturally take these away. β
After speaking, he turned around and left, and when he walked to the door, he spoke again, "Aunt Lin, the food you prepared in the small kitchen, the old woman did not move at all, if you really don't want to eat these, you can go to the small kitchen to eat by yourself." β
Lin Yue looked at the disappearing figure of the teaching grandmother, and she was angry, she had never received such anger since she married into the Zhong Mansion. Now, just ordered to be grounded, they dared to do this to her, looking at the food on the table, they became more and more angry, scattered the food on the table, and made a sound of porcelain breaking, mixed with her cursing. Zhong Qinghe, who was on the side, looked at her without saying a word, looking dazed and didn't know what she was thinking.
In the Xinxue Courtyard, Zhong Li led the cuckoo to the front hall for dinner, and when he passed through the garden corridor, he saw several girl-like people gathered together, talking about what happened in the Fuyuan Courtyard. Zhong Li motioned to the cuckoo not to make a sound, stood quietly under the golden laurel tree for a while, smiled as if nothing happened, and softly commanded the cuckoo, "Cuckoo, although my osmanthus flowers are blooming well, but I see that the golden osmanthus here is also blooming very well, a few points better than the one in my courtyard, you go and fold some, just for your father to bring to enjoy together." β
The girl who was originally gathered together heard Zhong Li's voice, and was suddenly startled, and let out an exclamation timidly, and immediately scattered in all directions, which Cheng thought that this was the only time to move, and was stopped by the cuckoo raised his voice, "What are you doing to be surprised? It's dinner time now, how can you gather here, now the house is not peaceful, don't make a mistake." When the Zhong Mansion was not yet in trouble, everyone was awake. β
After listening to the cuckoo's words, several people were silent, and they fell to their knees one after another, and said in unison that they had written it down. The beating of the cuckoo made these girls feel bottomless, Zhong Li in the distance with a faint smile, wearing a moon-white brocade robe called her extraordinarily elegant, and there was no emotion at all. Some of them were active, and their eyebrows turned sharply and they immediately saluted, "Meet Miss Yan, slaves and maids...... Slaves and maidservants are only ...... It's just a little lazy, getting together to chatter, disturbing the young lady's appreciation, and asking Miss Yan to atone for her sins. β
"Get up, and you are really hard at serving your master. In the past few days, there have been many things in the house, and you have worked harder, but now that the weather is cold, since there is nothing to rest and chat, it doesn't hurt to stop, just don't miss your errand, there is nothing to atone for. Zhong Li glanced lightly, and the girl who stepped forward to talk to her said softly.
When the girl heard Zhong Li say this, she immediately became proud, "Thank you, Miss, Miss Yan's measure is really big, if the slaves and maids are seen by the second miss, they will be beaten." Now, Miss Chang is making a comeback, and she will definitely not easily forgive those who bully people, and Princess Ling also takes special care of Miss Yan, and this afternoon the princess also sent a lot of valuable medicinal materials and items for clothing, food, housing and transportation. And there is also a decree of marriage in the house......" Seeing Zhong Li's smile even stronger, he didn't interrupt her. Regardless of Zhong Li's face, he said vigorously, his words were full of envy.
"You girl, you are really a talker, but you know that there are some people who can speak good words and can rise to the top, but there are people who can speak good words, but they will invite disasters and end up in different places. Zhong Li put away his smile and said in a cold tone.
The girl didn't expect that she would not be rewarded for this slippery mustache, but she was reprimanded by Miss Yan, who looked very kind in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart, but Zhong Li's last sentence made her really stir up. It is said that this young lady is friendly, and if you don't talk about the cuckoo, you will say that the poisoned Xiaofei was originally a rough girl, but now she has been treated by a famous doctor in Xinxue Hospital. I just wanted to fight for a way out for myself, but I didn't expect that the sycophants would get into trouble if they didn't shoot it.
