Chapter 208: The Prefect's Lady Admits Her Mistake Three Times
Mrs. Zuo Governor's Mansion suddenly shook violently, and quickly turned around to greet her.
Mu Jiaojiao also looked over there, and saw an old lady with silver hair walking towards this side with the support of the maid. She must have been sick for a long time, and a half-worn coat was worn over her, but it looked empty. And she is also unstable, she shook when she took a step, and the maid beside her was carefully supporting, and her face was red.
"I hear it's noisy here, what's going on?" the old lady slowly spoke, easily sitting down on the upper seat.
Although her voice was low, her momentum and majesty did not diminish in the slightest. Mu Jiaojiao clearly saw that Mrs. Zuo's prefect trembled again, and she hurriedly raised her smile: "It's nothing! It's just that the daughter-in-law met a few fellow Chang'an villagers, and they chatted happily for a while, and their voices were a little louderβbut it made a noise to you, auntie? Then let's just be quiet." β
"Is that so?" the old lady swept her gaze, and finally landed on Mu Jiaojiao, who was standing.
Wan Niang was so angry by Mu Jiaojiao's words that she smoked. Now that she saw the old lady of the Zuo family coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That's it!
OMG!
Mrs. Zuo couldn't help but close her eyes.
Hearing the voice coming from the side, the old lady just glanced at it casually, and then took her gaze back: "Which lady is this?"
Mrs. Zuo's lips trembled, but she did not speak.
Wan Niang is not too stupid, at least she knows that her identity is not on the stage, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
Seeing this, the old lady's eyes were even colder: "Why, my wife has been sick for so long, and what she said in this mansion doesn't work?" In this case, I don't think there is any need to set up this birthday banquet, I'd better go back and lie down!"
"Auntie, why do you say this?" Mrs. Zuo's right eyelid jumped violently, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "She is now the lady of the county government in Hailing County, and she specially came to pay your birthday greetings." β
"Hailing County Commander? I remember that when he took office this time, didn't his wife stay in Chang'an to serve his father?"
"This ...... Now this is the lady who is here to help him take care of the backyard. β
"Is that a concubine?" the old lady didn't politely talk to her, and immediately sank her face, "When did our Zuo family's courtyard allow an aunt to defile it?"
Mrs. Zuo Zhifu immediately knelt down with a thud: "The daughter-in-law doesn't dare! The daughter-in-law is just ......."
"It's just for the sake of your cousin's face, I want to give him a long face, so that others will know that the prefect looks up to him extraordinarily. Mu Jiaojiao answered slowly.
Mrs. Zuo's prefect immediately trembled like chaff. "Auntie......"
The old lady's face turned blue. "Okay, you've done such a thing, and you don't admit that you don't take me as an old woman in your eyes anymore? I think our Zuo family has been innocent for generations, and a man can only take a concubine if he has no children in his thirties. I've lived this age, and I've never seen a concubine appear in front of my eyes! As a result, today, you actually allow a concubine to come and pay my birthday greetings? Where do you want to give me birthday greetings? You just want to be angry with me! This birthday banquet will not be held, so I will ask someone to pack up my things and go back to my hometown in Quanzhou, so as not to obstruct your eyes here! Maybe I can live two more years when I go back to my hometown in the countryside!"
After that, no matter how Mrs. Zuo's prefect pleaded, she held the maid's hand and turned around and left.
Mrs. Zuo Zhifu cried uncontrollably, so she could only rush over and hug her calves and beg for mercy again and again.
Tomorrow's birthday star is making a fuss today to pack up and go back to his hometown, which is not a big deal. The prefect of Zuo heard the news and hurriedly ran over. As soon as he entered, he saw his old mother and wife holding each other.
He hurriedly lifted his robe and knelt down: "Son, what is wrong is wrong, Auntie, you want to beat or scold." But well, why do you want to bring up the matter of going back to your hometown in the countryside?
Although the old lady is vicious to her daughter-in-law, she still can't be ruthless in the face of her son. Then he sighed with tears: "You can ask your daughter-in-law!"
Zuo Zhifu hurriedly turned to Mrs. Zuo Zhifu: "What did you say to A-Niang to make A-Niang so angry?"
"I, my daughter-in-law, know that I am wrong!" Mrs. Zuo Governor hurriedly cried, "Daughter-in-law, this is going to ask someone to take her down, and never let her appear in front of Aunt Auntie again!"
The old lady sneered again: "Take it down, that is, you still want this little concubine to stand under the door of my Zuo family?"
When Governor Zuo heard this, he immediately understood. He immediately sank his face: "Didn't I tell you, this is a girl, you told her to go down directly to make the bed and fold the quilt for her cousin, how could she bring people to this place? Don't you know that A-Niang looks down on such a demonic woman the most in her life?"
It's just that he deliberately wants to give his cousin a long face in front of his own people, and the others know it, but they don't say anything. Who knew that if there was one more Mu Jiaojiao in the middle of the way, she would ruin the matter? Mrs. Zuo Zhifu was so aggrieved that she couldn't do it.
was accused by her husband and mother-in-law together, and she was even more ashamed and hated to dig a hole in the ground.
"The concubine will ask someone to send her back to Hailing County!" she hurriedly changed her words.
"What to give? She is a concubine, how can she get such a big face? Just drive it out! You just tell your cousin bluntly, only that our Zuo family has never been willing to take concubines, and we have never allowed concubines to enter the house. If he brings this kind of woman to the door again in the future, he won't need it!" Zuo Zhifu said coldly.
When things came to this point, Mrs. Zuo didn't dare to disobey, so she hurriedly ordered someone to drag Wanniang out and throw her out of the gate directly.
It was easy to wait for the servant to send the news, Wan Niang had been thrown out, and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Zuo Zhifu also hurriedly persuaded the old mother softly for a long time. Mrs. Zuo Governor stood aside even more cautiously, like a child who had done something wrong, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing this, Liu and the others were also embarrassed. One person hurriedly suggested: "It's inconvenient to stay here for a long time, let's go!"
The others nodded hurriedly, but only Mu Jiaojiao took the initiative to step forward: "Mrs. Prefect, have you forgotten anything?"
Oh my mother, why is this woman still haunted?
When Mrs. Zuo heard this cold voice again, her soul was about to fly out of the clouds. In the face of this weak little lady, why did she feel so much more pressure than when she faced her aunt just now?
The old lady and the prefect Zuo also turned their heads when they heard the voice. Governor Zuo asked, "What did she forget?"
A word of apology. Mu Jiaojiao said word by word.
"What did she do to you?"
"She-"
"I admit my mistake!" Mrs. Zuo Zhifu said suddenly, and quickly walked up to Mu Jiaojiao, and bowed to her respectfully, "Fang is my mistake, and please don't be angry with Mrs. Cui County." β
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her quietly: "You didn't say what you did wrong, and you didn't say how to correct it in the future." This mistake is too perfunctory. β
Mrs. Zuo Governor secretly gritted her teeth. It's just that my aunt and her husband are watching from above, and she doesn't dare to lose her temper like Fang Cai, so she has to bite the bullet and say: "I just let you be on an equal footing with a concubine, but my brain was confused and I forgot the rules for a while, and I admit my mistake to you." Nothing like this will happen again in the future. β
"Are you really just confused for a while?" Mu Jiaojiao was still not satisfied, and was still very aggressive.
Seeing this, Zuo Zhifu's eyes couldn't help but darken: "This is the lady of Cui Zhixian? Sure enough, she is a bold little lady, I don't know how you have adapted to the climate of Yangzhou in the past few months in Yangzhou?"
"Governor Zuo, you don't need to knock on the side to remind me that you can't blindly be reckless when you come to a new place. Now I'm just getting justice for myself. I don't believe it, if you go to Shangfeng's house as a guest, if Shangfeng asks you to sit at the same table with the prostitute he raised in the house and call him a brother, you will believe that he is just confused and forgets the rules!" Mu Jiaojiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zuo Zhifu was immediately choked by her words and rolled his eyes.
Only the old lady's eyes flashed, and she stared at Mu Jiaojiao deeply for several times, and then she said slowly: "If a person does something wrong, then he must admit his mistake." Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great. But if you obviously make a mistake and refuse to admit it, you have to use clever words to excuse yourself, such a person, I will be the first to spare him!"
Mrs. Zuo closed her eyes in despair.
"What my aunt taught me was that the daughter-in-law knew her mistakes, and the daughter-in-law apologized to Mrs. Cui Zhixian and admitted her mistakes. As she spoke, she saluted Mu Jiaojiao again, and finally finished speaking.
Mu Jiaojiao finally bowed her head: "Since you admit your mistake, then I won't bother with you." I forgive you!"
Mrs. Zuo almost vomited blood again.
Zuo Zhifu is also cold all over his body now.
It was easy to wait until Mu Jiaojiao let go of his wife, and he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Tomorrow's birthday banquet, my aunt is going to rest now, Mrs. Cui Zhixian, please go back!"
"Now I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back. β
A light and indifferent sentence now makes the Zuo prefect and his wife both break out in a cold sweat!
"What else do you want to do?" Zuo Zhifu blurted out.
Mu Jiaojiao blinked: "Fang Cai, didn't the prefect's wife leave me to see the old lady?"
