Because of Mo Zhu's words, Mrs. Qi's face became more and more unsightly. Qi Rui still had a look of displeasure, but he had already seen Qi Yun's hints to him.
What is the use of hinting at this time
Little Gu quickly sold the two Cherries, just to hide the matter. She firmly believed that Shen Ziqiao would not take the initiative to report this matter to the old lady, but she did not expect that her son would Will pick this head off.
If she knew, she probably wanted to smash Qi Rui to death with a bench.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Mrs. Qi said "Hello" three times in a row, her eyes sharply gouged out to Qi Rui, "Our third young master who reads sage books is actually this arrogant, arrogant, no big or small, shameless and skinless!" thing."
Qi Rui's face turned pale, "Grandma, what did I do wrong?"
"You don't even know what you did wrong. It can be seen that you have been indulged by your mother since you were young. Who is your elder brother? He is the eldest son and grandson of our Qi family, and the future son. Who wants to send him off?" The unclean girl can be delivered to him, but you can meddle in the affairs of his yard if you want to? You, a man who lives alone in the outer courtyard, still discipline his sister-in-law, what a shame! "Old Madam Qi was angry and angry, she always knew what kind of person Little Gu was, but she just didn't expect that Little Gu could raise her son into such a dandy.
"Grandmother..." Qi Rui has never been scolded like this before, he...he used to bully Qi Zheng whenever he wanted to, why is he being scolded like this now that he only protected two maids.
He knew he shouldn't meddle in the affairs of Shen's yard, but he was just pleading for his maid, so what's the matter
Why is he so heinous in the eyes of these people
"I still don't admit my mistake!" Qi Yun glared at him angrily. She also knew about this matter. Naturally, she knew that her mother was doing it for Qi Rui's good. This is not a glorious thing. But this Qi Rui is an elm head. Taking bullying Qi Zheng as a habit, thinking that the current Qi Zheng is still the same Qi Zheng as before, and he didn't take Shen Ziqiao seriously.
Others couldn't see it, but she did. It was clear from the beginning to the end that Shen Ziqiao deliberately wanted to make a scene known to everyone.
It's not just to protect the two maids, it's Shen Ziqiao who insists on taking the issue of uncle intervening in sister-in-law's discipline of the maids, she digs a hole for Qi Rui to jump, and Qi Rui becomes a joke. Now who in the family doesn't know about this matter, who doesn't laugh at him behind his back
Qi Rui finally realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, the way the old lady looked at him was not looking at her grandson at all. As if looking at a stranger with a touch of disgust.
"Grandmother, I was also at fault for this matter." Shen Ziqiao accepted it as soon as she saw it, and walked to Mrs. Qi's side without pretending to be pitiful. He said in a low voice, "I didn't want the maids in the yard to go out at will, and I was worried that it would be bad if they did something wrong and caused trouble."
Qi Yun sneered, "Sister-in-law is really cautious."
Shen Ziqiao said helplessly, "I have to be cautious. After all... I'm not very familiar with it yet."
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel, and when your father comes back, I will decide how to deal with it." Mrs. Qi certainly understands what it means for Xiao Gu to send two maids to Qi Zheng. Hmph, I don't even have the patience for this, Qi Zheng How long have you been married to Shen Ziqiao? He just wanted to make the young couple unhappy, so he was already afraid of Qi Zheng in his heart!
Qi Rui's face turned pale, and his feet softened and he knelt down. Let his father dispose of him
"Madam is here." A maid said outside, and Xiao Gu had already walked in hurriedly.
"Mother, brother Rui did something wrong to offend you?" Little Gu didn't seem to see Shen Ziqiao, and saluted the old lady with a smile, then turned around and scolded Qi Rui. "Why do you make the old lady unhappy, you are so inconvenient. You are not clean enough to admit your mistake to the old lady?"
Mrs. Qi just looked at Little Gu coldly.
"Grandmother, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again, don't punish me... If my father finds out, he will kill me..." Qi Rui choked up and begged Mrs. Qi.
Mrs. Qi didn't speak, just closed her eyes and rested her mind.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Little Gu secretly hated her, and gave both Qi Feng and Qi Yun a wink.
"Grandmother, the third brother is still young, and he doesn't think twice about things, so please forgive him and give him a chance to change his ways." Qi Feng begged on the sidelines to help.
Qi Yun said softly, "Yes, grandma, it's freezing cold today, and there is no earth dragon in the ancestral hall, not even a charcoal basin. Third brother will definitely get sick from the cold if he goes there."
No matter how Qi Feng brothers and sisters begged for mercy, Mrs. Qi still did not speak.
Little Gu's face was stiff, and she coldly glanced at Shen Ziqiao, who was watching her nose and nose, and finally let go of her posture, and knelt down in front of the old lady, "Mother, it's all my fault, it's all because I'm too indulgent and sharp." Brother, that's why he's so ignorant."
Old Mrs. Qi slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Little Gu with blazing eyes, "That's right, it's your fault, you didn't teach him to know how to distinguish between superior and inferior. In this family, the only young master who is really born is Brother Zheng. It is the future of the Qi family, and the future son, as a human being... you must know how to assess the situation, and don't always treat others as fools!"
"Yes, mother, I wrote it down." Little Gu said with her head down.
"Go back!" Mrs. Qi waved her hand annoyedly, and sent Xiao Gu and Qi Rui away, "Stay in the room and reflect on yourself. If you don't know where you are wrong, you are not allowed to go out."
There is no need to punish kneeling, but feet are also grounded.
This is much better than asking An Guogong to come back and punish Brother Rui.
Little Gu pulled Qi Rui to salute and retreat.
Qi Feng and Qi Yun naturally lost the mood to stay, and they left after leaving. Only Gu Daiqin looked at Shen Ziqiao reluctantly, but was still dragged away by Qi Feng.
"Grandmother..." When only Shen Ziqiao was left, she walked over guiltily, "It's all my fault, I deliberately sent those two maids to find Third Uncle."
Mrs. Qi laughed, "Which woman would like to see her husband with that kind of flirtatious maid? Besides, it's not you who asked them to go to Brother Rui. After all, you are not a pure-hearted person. I can't blame you."
Shen Ziqiao said, "Third Uncle defended them because they were already Third Uncle's people. I secretly gave them to Third Uncle, so there was no need to make such a fuss."
"It's them who cocoon themselves!" Mrs. Qi snorted, "Jiaojiao, I can protect you for a short time. In the future, you will have to face more ghosts and monsters. You must know how to protect yourself and Brother Zheng."
Shen Ziqiao obviously felt the favoritism of Mrs. Qi Zheng and her, but she didn't know why, was it because of guilt
"Grandmother, I will." Shen Ziqiao lowered her eyes, she will definitely protect the people around her.
"Okay, let's continue to fire the side stove!" Mrs. Qi said with a smile.
…
…
This was probably the most suffocating and irritable night for Xiao Gu after marrying An Guogong.
Beat and scold your son? She couldn't bear it, but the feeling of hating iron for nothing really made her hold her breath in her chest. Even if she smashed everything in the room, she still couldn't vent her anger at all.
In the end, Qi Rui was ordered by her to go back and be grounded. After tidying herself up, she waited for An Guogong to come back.
Shen Ziqiao returned to Qianlin Courtyard full of food and drink, and heard about Little Gu's tantrum from Lv Zhu, "...for so many years, I have never seen my wife suffer a loss. No matter what she does, the old lady is always open Turn your eyes and close your eyes, who would have thought that the old lady would not soften her heart at all this time."
In the past, the old lady turned her eyes and closed her eyes to protect Qi Zheng.
If he didn't do this, how could the little Gu family tolerate such a fool as Qi Zheng.
Having said that, with Qi Zheng's current strength, there is no need to be afraid of the little Gu family anymore.
"I'm afraid Ma'am will watch our Qianlin Academy more closely in the future. You have to be careful and don't make any mistakes." Shen Ziqiao reminded Hongyu and Mozhu.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zheng came back, just in time to listen to what she said later.
"What's going on?" Qi Zheng walked in, there was still snow on his shoulders, he stood by the door and took off his cloak, seeing several big maids there, he thought Shen Ziqiao was being bullied.
"Eldest young master." Several maids got shorter, and filed out of the inner room under Shen Ziqiao's signal.
"Why did you come back? Have you eaten yet?" Shen Ziqiao handed Qi Zheng hot tea.
Qi Zheng stroked her smooth and tender cheeks with his rough fingers, and drank the tea in one gulp with her hand.
"Shall I ask someone to fetch water for you?" Shen Ziqiao narrowed her eyes with a smile, and rubbed her cheek against his hand.
"Let's talk first." Qi Zheng's voice was low, and it seemed particularly charming in this quiet room, "Didn't anything happen at home these two days?"
I just heard her words, so I doubted/
Shen Ziqiao pulled him to sit down, and poured him another cup of tea, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just... I drove away your two beautiful maids, I hope you don't get annoyed."
Qi Zheng raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth, "So bold?"
"But Qi Rui was offended." Shen Ziqiao laughed.
"Huh?" Qi Zheng looked at her with interest, "It seems that it wasn't others who bullied you, but you who bullied others."
Shen Ziqiao glared at him, "How can I, I'm kind."
She briefly explained the whole story, "...Not only did I offend Qi Rui, I'm afraid Little Gu also hated me to the bone."
"In the future, she will definitely not dare to push people around me again." After Qi Zheng heard Shen Ziqiao's words, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Shen Ziqiao hugged his arm and whispered, "Grandmother is really protective of us."
Qi Zheng was noncommittal, just patted her head with a smile.
"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you. Has Sheng Peiyin really been released by the emperor? Is that real person Zhou helping her?" Shen Ziqiao asked Qi Zheng, remembering what she was most concerned about.
"Do you remember the last time we saw that Ma Junfeng in the woods?" Qi Zheng asked in a deep voice, his eyes narrowed slightly.
