Chapter Seventy-Three: Grounding
The two left together, and Xiahou Ze quipped: "Brother Tong, it's okay, it's a set of things to say, and my goosebumps are all out." ”
Tong Yingzhao was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't care about anything, but smiled and said: "Brother Ze, I'm smiling, I have to invite you to a glass of wedding wine then." ”
"It should be, it should be. Xiahou Ze nodded again and again.
After the two left, Xiahou Shuang said: "Congratulations to Sister Yu, I am looking for a good son-in-law." Now it's a peace of mind. ”
Zhang Yanyu smiled lightly: "Thank you Sister Shuang for your help, my heart settled when I saw me today." ”
The old lady heard Mama Chen say that Ze'er took a foreign man to the courtyard of the frost girl, and she wanted Mama Chen to go on a trip to ask what was going on, but when she heard that Miss Zhang was also there, her heart was settled.
Although I don't know what a few juniors are doing, the frost girl is stable and proper today, and she doesn't care about them.
At this time, I heard the maid's report, and the housekeeper asked to see him.
Steward Qi entered the house and saluted and said, "Old lady, the matter you asked the villain to check a few days ago has been a little eyebrow recently. ”
The old lady only remembered at this time, and asked the housekeeper to find out who was making trouble in the cream girl's pharmacy a few days ago, and she thought that she had found out who was behind the scenes. The old lady sat down and asked, "Who is secretly making trouble?"
The villain found that one of the scoundrels often had some dealings with the housekeeper of the eldest lady's maiden house. Steward Qi replied.
The old lady asked in surprise, "Is it the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion?"
"Yes. ”
Hearing Steward Qi's answer, a wave of anger rose in the old lady's heart: "The Lin family's maiden brother has always been attached to the Lin family, and no one in the Lin Mansion has a grudge against Shuang'er, and the only person behind it is the Lin family!"
"Stand down. The old lady waved her hand to let Steward Qi retreat.
Steward Qi retreated, and his subordinates were also shocked when they came to report it, but they didn't expect the eldest lady to look at her kind eyebrows on weekdays, and she was also very caring for the eldest lady, but she didn't expect that there was a storm behind her.
After Steward Qi left, the old lady's eyes were gloomy, and she said after a while: "What a Lin family, he actually secretly made such a trick behind his back!
Mama Chen stepped forward to comfort her: "The old lady must not be angry, be careful of hurting her body." The Lin family is usually cautious, and he should not be so bold. ”
"Don't comfort me now. It must have been me who asked her to return the shop to the frost girl, and she didn't like it, and she didn't want to oppose it openly, so she had to do it secretly and secretly. ”
"How can she say that she is also the mother of the frost girl, how can she be so narrow-minded, how can this person be worthy of being the mother of several children, how can she be worthy of being the lady of the Hou Mansion! I have always trusted her, but she will secretly do such a despicable thing behind her back!" the old lady said angrily.
"Go, call me Lin. The old lady instructed Mama Chen.
Mama Chen didn't dare to slack off, and went to Cuizhuxuan to invite the Lin family in person.
Lin looked at Mama Chen's expressionless face and was displeased, and after listening, he said to Xiahou Yan: "I'll go back as soon as I go, you lie down and don't move." ”
Walk towards Yeonhetang.
The Lin family has not had a good time these days, Imperial Doctor Fu has been in the house twice, and the last time he quietly told him that the third lady's feet are probably going to fall lame, remind yourself, and the third lady of the province will not accept it, and she will be out of proportion.
Hearing this, Lin Shi hadn't rested well for a few days, and his eyes were deeply sunken at this time, and his face was not worried.
When he arrived at Yanhe Hall and saw the old lady with a solemn face, Lin took a step forward and said, "Say hello to my mother." ”
The old lady snorted coldly: "Kneel!"
Lin's heart trembled, and he asked in disbelief: "I don't know what mistake my daughter-in-law has made, and my mother can punish me like this?"
"What mistake did you make, let me ask you, did you find your maiden brother in the frost girl's shop and ask him to find someone to make trouble?"
Lin sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this matter to be exposed, he asked his brother that day, and his brother also said that the scoundrel on the street who was looking for him with confidence would never be able to find himself.
I don't know what means the old lady used, but after so long, clues have been found.
After a few back-and-forth in his heart, he defended: "My mother wronged me, and the frost girl wants to go back to the store, I am also very quick to do it, I don't know what happened, and I ask my mother to find out." ”
The old lady was furious: "Lin, I didn't expect you to use this dirty method on your own family, it's really a waste of my trust in you in the past!"
"The housekeeper has found out that the person who went to the shop to make trouble that day and the housekeeper in your brother's house have met several times in recent days, and you still want to deny it?"
When Lin heard the old lady say this, he panicked, threw himself beside the old lady and said: "Mother, I was wrong, I did have a grudge in my heart when I asked me to hand over the store to the eldest lady that day, and I just complained a few words after returning home." But I really don't know about the scoundrel going to make trouble, please believe me. ”
"Why are you unwilling, it was the marriage left by the Rong family to the frost girl, and it was just for you to manage back then, but who knew that you were greedy!"
"This time it's all because of your greed, and I'll punish you for thinking about it behind closed doors in your own courtyard today, don't come out if you have nothing to do, and don't have too much contact with your mother's brother!" the old lady rebuked.
This is to lock himself up, Lin was unwilling in his heart, and begged in a low voice: "Please also ask my mother to spare me this time, I will definitely not dare to be here in the future, now I will be grounded, my daughter-in-law has no complaints, but Yan'er can't do without me." ”
"Yan'er, I will send someone to take care of it, you better go back to your Yating Residence and take care of it." The old lady was unmoved, and said coldly.
When Lin saw that the old lady was determined to punish herself this time, what she was saying was useless, so she had to hide her face and leave.
After the Lin family left, the old lady called Mama Chen to send two mothers-in-law to Cuizhuxuan to take good care of Xiahou Yan.
Xiahou Yan waited left and right, but she didn't see her mother come back, and she was waiting for two mothers-in-law, so she was suddenly dissatisfied, and she wanted to go to Yatingju to find Lin's.
The two mothers-in-law sent by the old lady were also reluctant, and they heard that the lady was grounded, but they didn't say that they would not let the third lady visit, and the two accompanied them.
When Xiahou Yan saw Lin, she was taken aback, only to see Lin's eyes red and swollen and his hair messy sitting there.
Frightened, Xiahou Yan stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Shi heard Xiahou Yan's cry and shouted, "Yan'er, why are you here?" and nervously let Xiahou Yan sit on the brocade bench.
"Mother, I waited left and right but I didn't see you come back, and I was uneasy, so I came to take a look. Xiahou Yan said aggrievedly.
"Your grandmother has found out that the matter of Xiahou Shuang's shop last time was related to me, and today she called me to reprimand me and let me be grounded in Yatingju for the past few days. Lin informed Xiahou Yan.
"Then what should we do?" Hearing that the Lin family was grounded, Xiahou Yan panicked.
"Don't be afraid, my mother is fine, but I can't calm down. I have been married to the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, and I have children and have worked hard to complain, but I didn't expect this old woman to directly say that she would ground me with a sentence, and she really didn't talk about it at all. ”
"And that Xiahou Shuang is against me everywhere on weekdays, this time it must be her complaint, I can't spare her!" Lin's face was distorted, his eyes flashed with cruelty, and he said hatefully.
"What is Mother going to do?" asked Xiahou Yan.
"In half a month, it will be the old lady's birthday, and then I will definitely ruin Xiahou Shuang's reputation!" Lin said sadly.
