Aunt Tao was called in by Shen Zangfeng. Mrs. Su was furious. She briefly explained what had happened and scolded the unfilial son repeatedly. If she had been beaten last time, Aunt Tao might have taken advantage of the situation to help Mr. Liu. , but after the last time, Aunt Tao has been thinking about showing her attitude to Mrs. Su again - the old grandma is not stupid, her superior status in the Shen family is all because of Mrs. Su, even if Mrs. Liu treats her well, she still doesn't care. She is Mrs. Su's dowry and confidant
So although she had a good impression of Mrs. Liu, Grandma Tao would not be willing to shake her position in Mrs. Su's mind. After listening to Mrs. Su's story, she felt that the time had come to show her fairness, so she persuaded her: "Why do you need to be angry, madam? According to my maid, the third young lady may not have said anything in front of the third young master."
"Why did Feng'er suddenly come over and insinuate me for fear that I had wronged his wife?" Mrs. Su said bitterly, "She didn't even bother to inquire! Although I am not one of the best mother-in-laws in the imperial city, I will never vent my anger on my daughter-in-law! How can I treat her after all? Is it not harsh for me to follow her mother Song's example and buy a car full of jade to throw at her? It’s not like the Song family, who has been in the house for nearly ten years and has been going crazy thinking about having an heir for fear of being in pain! I’m not that used to my own daughter!”
Aunt Tao smiled apologetically and said, "Madam, think about it. Although the Third Young Madam cannot be said to be the most dexterous in the world these days, she is still smart. Besides, she has an assistant from the Huang family by her side. No matter how bad it is, It’s impossible that the wife just told her that she would sue her husband and not stop him when he comes to argue with her. How stupid can he be to do such an obvious thing?”
Mrs. Su frowned and said, "Maybe she is young and cannot survive after being wronged for the first time since she entered the house..."
"There is something wrong with my servant. I didn't expect to tell Madam in time." Aunt Tao smiled, "Just now the three young ladies went out together and gathered in the corridor outside to talk for a while. After that, the eldest young lady and The second young lady left first, and the third young lady was left with her servants to return to Jintong Courtyard. However, Huang took the third young lady and said a few words. The little maid who saw this scene stayed far away and did not listen. Qing, but I don’t think Mrs. Huang would say anything inappropriate in public. Then does Madam know what happened to the Third Young Madam?”
Mrs. Su frowned and said, "What's wrong with her?"
"The Third Young Madam originally didn't look good after the First Young Madam and the Second Young Madam left. After hearing this, she immediately scolded Mr. Huang loudly." Mother Tao said, "The Third Young Madam tried to argue, but was rejected by the Third Young Madam. After talking for a while, I didn't dare to say anything... There were all the servants and maids around, but I heard that the Huang family had always been in charge of Jintong Courtyard, and the Huang family had been cultivated by Mrs. Song for many years. people… "
Mrs. Su understood what she meant: "Whether it is the aunt who is the capable steward in the yard or the elder who gives it, there is no way to teach him a few words in public, especially in front of those people that Huang usually controls, let alone Huang has both identities." His expression softened, "It seems like she is not the one suing."
However, Mrs. Su was still very displeased, "Then she must have gone back with a sullen face, which made Feng'er suspicious! Didn't I say she had no reason? If I don't learn well, why don't my elders be allowed to give some advice? In this way, she did not complain in time, but it is no different from complaining! "
Aunt Tao said: "This is all because of your youth. The third young lady has always been pampered by her natal family, and she has been treated well by her since she entered the house. Madam, please think about it, the eldest son has always doted on the eldest grandson, if one day the eldest son reprimands her Even if it was out of love for the eldest son, how could he not be particularly sad? The young man has never experienced hardships, and his wife has been kind to him, so he can't calm down, so the maid thought that the third young lady may not be doing it on purpose. To express grievances, I am afraid that the city is too shallow to suppress my worries. "
He added, "My maid, please be more careful. The eldest young lady and the second young lady are not intolerant people. The reason why they are admonishing the madam this time is that the fourth young lady is a little too angry in her youth. It is not... A journey of a virtuous woman." .”
Regardless of Mrs. Liu or Wei Changying, they are all Mrs. Su's direct daughters-in-law, and their husbands are also Mrs. Su's sons. In comparison, Pei Meiniang is a layer apart after all. Aunt Tao has learned the lesson from last time. She doesn’t say Mrs. Liu is not good, nor does she say Wei Changying is not good. Of course, it’s not Mrs. Su who is bad. Of course, this bad person was chosen from outside. Let’s talk about this. It was Pei Meiniang who was the first to be rude.
Mrs. Su frowned for a long time and sighed: "This Pei Meiniang is really unreasonable. This time Yi'er and Chang Ying were busy with her when they came in, but she only cared about herself and didn't say a single polite word... It's just that her younger siblings can go. Good morning, although Zanghui was raised by me, he is not my biological son. Now that Pei Meiniang is beautiful, Zanghui likes her very much. You saw it when we served tea. They are getting married well. I will go and talk to her now. He said that Pei Meiniang was not good. Even though Zanghui didn't dare to respond, he must have felt that I was relying on myself for raising him and taking advantage of my kindness! Last time about Zangzhu, my husband said that I was not allowed to wrong my second brother's flesh and blood. You said this..."
As soon as Aunt Tao heard this, she knew that her guess was correct: Mrs. Su also heard Pei Meiniang's answer during the tea ceremony and hated it in her heart. Although Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying also helped, they were the most caring. , isn’t it Mrs. Su who is in charge of the overall situation? As a result, this niece-in-law didn't even say a polite word to her after she came over. It's strange that Mrs. Su felt happy.
She was just worried about Shen Xuan repeatedly complaining about Shen Zangzhu's marriage. If she rashly taught this nephew a lesson, she would not cause Shen Xuan's dissatisfaction again. That's why the daughters-in-law are not allowed to trouble Pei Meiniang - after all, Mrs. Su is afraid that her relationship with her husband will be affected because of a nephew, and the gain outweighs the loss.
"My maid was thinking that maybe the Fourth Young Madam had just come here and didn't know about the things our family was doing for her." Aunt Tao pondered for a moment and said, "That's why she complained about the First Young Madam and the others for being inconsiderate during the wedding ceremony. As for her! Don't mention it to Madam next time. If the Fourth Young Madam finds out, she goes to apologize to the Eldest Young Madam and the others. They are also sensible people, so the family will not care about it anymore. Reconciled, what do you think, madam?”
Mrs. Su thought for a moment and said: "Now that they are newly married, Pei Meiniang will not come here until the moon comes out. If she still doesn't apologize by then, I will talk to her again." Because at this moment, only Grandma Tao was around. Being alone, Mrs. Su somewhat regretted, "Why didn't you pay more visits to Pei Meiniang? If you had known that she was such an ignorant person, you would never have hired Zanghui for her! Zanghui's wife!" But the tomb woman in the second brother's room, you said that such a temperamental woman starts to offend people as soon as she enters the house, how can she help Zang Hui in the future? "
Thinking of this, Mrs. Su felt a headache again, "When I was looking for a wife for Zanghui, my second brother insisted on not choosing from a family that was the same as ours. I know what he meant, and he also had good intentions... Since the clan has decided to cultivate Feng'er , he doesn’t want Zang Hui to be instigated, but I think that Zang Hui is his eldest son, and if this wife comes to the family, she will definitely not be chosen if she is not the first wife of the clan. She was the most beautiful, and the ladies I asked for information all praised her for her ability and courtesy, and that she was a tomb woman. After I made the decision, I rarely saw her. The Pei family always said that she was shy. At that time, I was worried that she would pass away. Don't be so afraid of meeting people... Now it seems that the Pei family is worried that we will find out her true temperament? "
Mrs. Su felt that she had been cheated.
Grandma Tao thought for a moment and said, "The fourth young lady just came in now. It was just for a brief encounter. Maybe it was just by chance? Maybe it would be better if we got along for a while?" She added, "Although the second lady went early, it is still big." The lady is at home now and will keep an eye on it."
Nowadays, everyone has married. Before, it was the Shen family who proposed the marriage, and Mrs. Su chose the person for her nephew - you can't just send the person back to the Pei family and say you don't want it just for a few rude words, right? Even if the lintel of the Shen family is higher than that of the Pei family, they will not bully others like this.
Mrs. Su sighed and said sadly: "That's all we can hope for."
After all, the eldest aunt is different from the mother. If this were her daughter-in-law, she would still have to complain to Aunt Tao and just discipline her with a serious face!
In the upper room, Mrs. Su was worried about her daughter-in-law and nephew. In the Jintong Courtyard, Shen Zangfeng came back. He never mentioned that Mrs. Su had kicked her out and announced the good news with a smile: "Mom, let's go out for two days."
Wei Changying was surprised: "Really? In two days, don't we have to spend the night outside?"
"We have a separate courtyard by Chuncao Lake." Shen Zangfeng said, "We just left from the front. I have asked Shen Ju to lead a few people there to clean up."
Guard Chief Ying Yanran smiled and said, "Then I'm going to pack my things. What should I bring?"
Shen Zangfeng touched his chin and said, "Don't rush to pack your things first."
"ah?"
"Hurry up and return the kiss you owe me!" Shen Zangfeng said with a smile, "Otherwise, I won't take you with me."
Hearing this, Guard Chief Ying shook his fist at him and threatened, "You dare not take me with you?"
Shen Zangfeng raised his hand to catch her pink fist and said slowly: "I told you, I am not afraid of being beaten!"
"Then I'll beat you until you're scared!" Wei Changying fought back a few times and slapped his hand a few times angrily.
The two laughed and laughed for a while before Shen Zangfeng let go. Wei Changying brushed his hair and said with a smile: "Hey, stop it... What should I bring with me to Chuncao Lake? Since I have to spend the night in another courtyard. , Do you need to bring two sets of clothes? You are going to the lake again."
Shen Zangfeng smiled and said, "Kiss your husband, and he will tell you."
"No!" Wei Changying said this, but he still leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, pushed him and said, "Okay, okay, after all, what do you need to bring?"
Shen Zangfeng stretched out his arms to hug her and smiled: "Can't you just let Aunt Wan make the arrangements? In the past, Aunt Wan took care of it every time I went there."
"Then I was deceived by you." Wei Changying put his hand back on the spot where he kissed him on the cheek, and said without smiling, "If I had known earlier, I would have just asked Aunt Wan, what are you doing here? Pay attention to you?"
Shen Zangfeng rested his chin on her shoulder and said lazily: "It's too late to know that I was deceived. You have already kissed me... If you feel that you are at a loss, why don't you suffer more for your husband and let you kiss more?" Down?"
Wei Changying was funny and angry, so he hit him and said: "Is it you who suffer the loss, or do I suffer the loss?" Then he slapped his arm that was holding her away, "I'll ask Aunt Wan."
Hearing that Shen Zangfeng was going to take Wei Changying to visit Chuncao Lake and stay one night in a courtyard by the lake, Wan said with a smile: "Because there are people staying there every year, now we have everything. There’s nothing missing. But since you’re going to visit the lake, you have to be careful about changing your clothes if they get wet in the lake. In my opinion, it’s more reliable to bring two extra sets of clothes.”
Wei Changying asked people to deal with it according to his words.
Early the next morning, Shen Zangfeng accompanied her to the upper room to pay his respects. When Mrs. Su saw him, she was a little angry and said with a straight face: "Why are you here today? It's rare for you to be so diligent. "
Wei Changying's expression changed when he heard that this was not quite right. Shen Zangfeng smiled apologetically and said, "Today I am taking Ying'er to Chuncao Lake, and I want to come and say hello to my mother before I go out."
Mrs. Su wanted to say, "When did I promise you that I could take my wife to Chuncao Lake?" But in a blink of an eye, she caught a glimpse of Wei Changying looking frightened and looking at her husband suspiciously. She couldn't help but frown secretly and thought to herself, "This is not easy to worry about." Damn it, I'm afraid I gave you a guarantee in front of Mr. Wei when I got back yesterday! I'm going to try to kill him first, but it won't work!"
It's just that a son, especially a son who is married, is not as easy to scold and refute as a little daughter who has not yet had haircuts. Especially since Shen Zangfeng worked in front of the emperor and was highly regarded by the clan, Mrs. Su had to give him extra dignity and refused to expose him in front of Wei Changying.
So Mrs. Su had no choice but to endure it and snorted coldly: "It's Yu Wu's birthday in two days. You can stay in another courtyard for one night at most. Do you understand?"
Shen Zangfeng had known for a long time that his mother would not deny him this face, so he smiled slyly and said, "I obey, my child!"
Because he was here, Mrs. Liu and Mr. Duanmu were jealous and could not speak too bitterly. They both smiled slightly and said: "The third brother really loves the third younger brother and sister. I can't blame the fourth brother for getting married. The second uncle asked the third younger brother and sister to go and help. "
Wei Changying frowned. These words may not sound like much at first glance, but if you listen carefully, could they be reminding Mrs. Su to beware of being like Pei Meiniang and relying on her husband's love...arrogant and domineering
Just as she was about to respond, Shen Zangfeng smiled heartily and said, "Zangfeng just thought that he only had a few days to spare, so he wanted to go out and relax for a while. It's boring to walk alone, and Chuncao Lake is not far away, so he took Yinger with him. This is also The two brothers have been busy recently, otherwise they would have traveled with their two sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces during this time.”
He then said politely, "We are both going to Chuncao Lake. I will ask my sisters-in-law to help take care of Jintong Courtyard. My mother also relies on the two sisters-in-law to take care of her here."
Mrs. Su could watch her daughters-in-law fighting in front of each other, and as long as it wasn't too much, she would pretend not to hear it. But like all mothers in the world, she didn't like to see her daughter-in-law making things difficult for her son. When she saw that it was Shen Zangfeng who answered the question, what else did Liu and Duanmu have to say, so she said lukewarmly: "Okay, then Chuncao Lake, you guys It’s not like I haven’t been there before, it’s just a place for fun. Now that your fourth brother’s wedding is over, you want to go back and discuss it by yourself. Am I still going to stop you?”
These words may not imply that Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu were jealous of the third wife even if her husband accompanied her on the trip. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu's smiles faltered, but it was Mrs. Su who said this, and they couldn't get angry. He said sarcastically: "That's what mother said."

I had a fever yesterday. I hope it will be better today. What kind of standard is it to have a fan blowing on me all night? (To be continued)
