Shen Ziyang told Mrs. Shen the story of how Shen Ziqiao contradicted the Ninth Prince, and said indignantly that if she hadn't been so rude, the Ninth Prince might have taught him about his studies.
The Shen family was born as a military commander. Even though Shen Xiao is already a first-rank general, he is still a little bit worse than a civil servant. The only grandson is born not fond of reading. Although the second son is now a third-rank magistrate, the two sons are still young , now only Shen Ziyang is able to participate in the children's examination at a young age, and Mrs. Shen still expects that he will come back as the number one scholar in the future to make up for the regret that Shen Zhong only got sixteen in the examination.
And the Ninth Prince's literary talent is the best in the capital, so many people dream of getting his advice, but they never expected to be disturbed by that ominous thing.
"She will still contradict the Ninth Prince?" Mrs. Shen sneered, "Did she deliberately want to attract the Ninth Prince's attention?"
"This method is too stupid." Shen Ziyang also felt that this was Shen Ziqiao's trick to attract the Ninth Prince.
Mrs. Shen asked, "What did the Ninth Prince say?"
"I'm so angry that I can't speak anymore. I've never seen such a shameless girl who used such... such a way to attract attention." Shen Ziyang felt that Shen Ziqiao had lost all of his face.
"This is not good..." Mrs. Shen said, "Your father and eldest brother are not in the capital. Although the Ninth Prince does not hold a high position in the court, he has always been of high status. Offending him will not benefit our Shen family. In my opinion, You have to go and apologize to him in person.”
Shen Ziyang immediately said, "Grandmother, let me go, I'll go and make amends."
"Forget it, it's just that that dead girl can't go out anymore. I don't know what kind of madness she has recently, and she's causing trouble." Mrs. Shen said angrily, hating Shen Ziqiao even more.
"Grandmother, she did it on purpose." Shen Ziyang said.
Mrs. Shen said disgustedly, "If it wasn't for her, why would your father not have a decent wife today."
It would be better if there were none... Shen Ziyang thought silently in his heart.
"Grandmother, grandson won't disturb your nap, I'm going back to read." Shen Ziyang respectfully bowed and said goodbye.
Mrs. Shen nodded in satisfaction, "Go."
Before Shen Ziyang could leave, a servant girl came in hastily, "Madam, there is a commotion at Miss San's side."
"What's wrong with her?" Mrs. Shen asked angrily, already impatient to hear about Shen Ziqiao.
The maid Cui Liu hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Miss San is the lady Li from the kitchen who made a fuss, and Miss San... even got someone to beat Lady Li."
Mrs. Shen said angrily, "It's the opposite of what she wants."
It is true that someone has rebelled, but the person who rebelled is Shen Ziqiao's maid.
It is said that Shen Ziqiao asked Cuiping to prepare lunch for her. Cuiping was originally serving by Mrs. Shen's side. She was full of reluctance to follow the tricky and willful third lady who was not loved by the old lady. The master has no place in the family. , she was disrespectful, not to mention the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who respectfully called her a girl when they saw her before, and even the little girl didn't call her sister anymore.
But the third lady doesn't seem to think that she is annoying, she still does her own way, making the old lady angry all day long, unlike the other two young ladies who coax the old lady to be happy.
Cuiping knew that going to the kitchen to ask someone to start cooking would definitely not please her, so she lifted the soft curtain and walked out, and saw two little maids standing at the bottom of the steps, they were servants just selected from the family's children.
"Hongying, Hongyu, go to the kitchen and tell the third lady that she hasn't eaten her lunch yet, so let the women steam a piece of perch and eight-treasure rice that the third lady likes to eat." Cuiping pointed to a little maid and ordered.
Hongying is a girl who just got her hair cut, and Hongyu is her older sister, a third-class maid in Qiao Xinyuan, neither of them had the opportunity to serve Shen Ziqiao up close.
After hearing Cuiping's order, the two immediately went to the kitchen.
The daughter-in-law in charge of the kitchen is the daughter-in-law of Madam Li, Mrs. Shen's mate. With the support of Mrs. Shen, she has never seen Shen Ziqiao in her eyes. I was secretly bullied by my servants.
"What time is it that the stove is still on? Miss San's lunch has already been delivered. What about steamed fish and eight-treasure rice? These are all tricky dishes, and they can't be cooked at this time." Li's family heard When Hongyu came to pass the message, she sat down beside her with a heavy face, and stopped the women who were about to work.
Hongyu smiled flatteringly, "Miss Li, Miss San just came back, and she hasn't eaten yet."
"Then order noodles casually, and eat whatever you want." The Li family curled their lips and said.
"But... Mrs. Li, Third Miss wants to eat steamed fish and eight-treasure rice." Hongyu said in a low voice, "You can steam a fish for Third Miss."
The Li family gave Hongyu a sideways glance, "Go back and tell Miss San that the stove in the kitchen has been turned off. You can either cook a bowl of noodles in the small stove, or eat steamed fish for dinner."
At this time, there are still two hours until dinner time... Miss San must be starving
"Are you the master or the third lady is the master? It's your turn to whine about what the master wants to eat? Is there any rule that stipulates when the masters have lunch?" Hongying has a strong temper. As soon as he heard that the Li family was disrespectful to his master, and he didn't care that she was Mrs. Shen's confidant, he opened his mouth to question.
The Li family has been in the Shen family for so long, where has anyone ever scolded her like this? Even a decent young lady dare not speak loudly to her, and a little maid dares to question her in front of everyone, "Oh, it's amazing! , what do you dare to make irresponsible remarks on me, a dog slave, you really think you took a chicken feather as an arrow."
"I'm a dog slave, so what are you?" Hongying asked crisply, ignoring Hongyu's grip on her sleeve.
"It's against you!" Li's family became angry with embarrassment, "Catch this lowly girl to me, and my mother will tell her well today, there is a slave who is of the same class."
Hongyu begged for mercy, "Miss Li, Hongying has just arrived at Qiao Xinyuan, and she still doesn't understand anything. You adults don't care about villains, other people care about children."
The Li family sneered, "Miss San doesn't know how to discipline slaves, so today I will discipline you for Miss San."
"Sister, I'm not wrong, they used their power to bully others and refused to cook lunch for Miss San." Hongying shouted fearlessly.
"Do you think you can support you by climbing up to the third lady? Don't you know who is in charge of the Shen family?" After the Li family finished speaking, he slapped Hongying's delicate face with a slap.
Hongying's cheeks were swollen and red from the beating, she cried and struggled, "I am Miss San's maid, why did you beat me?"
"Let's see if I can beat you today." The Li family slapped him again.
"Miss Li, don't hit my sister..." Hongyu cried and knelt down begging for mercy, "It was my sister who hit you, don't be angry."
"What's going on here?" Cuiping, who sent the two Hongyu sisters out, heard that something happened here, so she came over to take a look, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
When Hongyu saw Cuiping, it was like seeing a savior, and she cried and told the whole story.
Cuiping breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but luckily she didn't come to the kitchen to explain lunch, she raised her face, "You two are really serious, since Mrs. Li said that it is not possible to steam fish at this time, then wait for dinner and wait for dinner. There are no rules."
Neither Hongyu nor Hongying thought that Cuiping would not speak for them, and they couldn't help but feel desperate.
"Miss Li, thank you for the reason why the third lady taught the girl who is not good enough." Cuiping said to Lady Li with a smile.
Just as the Li family was about to speak, they heard a voice that sounded like a smile but not a smile, "I want to know, who would dare to teach my maid a lesson."
