"Second Miss is the serious girl of you and Lord Hou. Ma'am, what you have done today really hurt the second lady's heart, and indeed made the old madam unhappy." Mrs. Zhao said earnestly.
"Do you know that all the maids and servants in the second girl's courtyard were sent to Zhuangzi by the old lady today, and Chunlan was beaten twenty times and carried into the carriage."
It wasn't for nothing that Mrs. Zhao was waiting outside today. Before the group of servants were sent away, Mrs. Zhao took a break to inquire carefully about what happened.
In the end, when she found out that the order was actually issued by the old lady herself, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious, and before she had time to tell her about these things, what happened at night, the old lady's attitude towards her now can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye figure it out.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Sun is now the mistress of the Hou Mansion, and the old lady can't really do anything to her, but for some reason, Nanny Zhao is very panicked.
Sun's face also changed slightly when she heard this, her hands clenched and loosened unconsciously. She didn't know what her mother-in-law meant, and she and Mrs. Zhao also paid different attention, "What did Chunlan do wrong?"
Nanny Zhao was in a hurry, but she answered honestly, "That damn girl didn't take good care of the second girl, and Mrs. Qian punished her. She was unwilling to say something stubbornly, and the old lady heard her, that's why she fell in love with the team."
Sun frowned, "This is indeed Chunlan's fault. If you send five taels of silver from my private treasury to Chunlan's family, you will treat me as a master and servant."
Nanny Zhao agreed, and brought Sun back to the point, "Madam, this old slave knows that you love the eldest girl, but after all, the second girl is your own daughter, and the second girl should be your first concern."
Sun's expression was a little unnatural, she knew that her words and deeds today were biased, but fortunately she didn't let Yuan'er see the whole thing, and there was still a chance to make up for it, "I know, but I just couldn't control it for a while, Jinger is my favorite How can I let go of someone who has been in pain for more than ten years, nanny, you should know me."
Of course Nanny Zhao knew, that's why she came to remind her.
"But no matter what, the second girl fell into the water because of the elder girl. You didn't stay by the second girl's side for the first time after hearing it, but you took the elder girl to the old lady to intercede, which made the old lady unhappy and didn't like the eldest girl." .”
Sun's pupils contracted, and her tone was flustered, "What?! I didn't mean it, I just didn't want Jing'er to be punished, and Jing'er was raised by me since I was a child, I know her temper, she would never push Yuaner away. of."
Nanny Zhao sighed, "Ma'am, now that the second girl is in the eyes of the old lady, the more you favor the eldest girl and treat the second girl coldly, the more the old lady thinks you are wrong, even the eldest girl will not be good with the old lady." .”
Nanny Zhao felt that she had seen it thoroughly, but what she said was very reasonable, and she was only thinking of Mrs. Sun.
Sun's face was distressed, and she was even more depressed when she recalled what happened today, "I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, Yuan'er is my daughter, and I will not treat her badly."
When Nanny Zhao heard her tone, she knew that she felt sorry for the eldest girl, although Nanny Zhao didn't think there was anything for the eldest girl to feel sorry for.
The second girl had endured more than ten years of hard life in the farmer's house for the eldest girl. After the second girl was recognized and returned, the eldest girl was still the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, she had nothing to lose, and lived the life of the old lady.
Madam still loves her as always, thinking about forgetting her own daughter for the sake of the eldest girl.
The one who should be distressed should be the second girl, right
Mrs. Zhao had too many thoughts in her mind, but she didn't say it out, because she knew her master's character too well, so she could only be persuasive.
Anyway, things still have to be done step by step, and Mrs. Zhao secretly warned herself, and she will have to mention it to her wife several times every day in the future.
The master and servant talked about other things, mainly because of Sun's sad face, coupled with the soreness on her knees, she couldn't sleep for a while, and Mrs. Zhao could only accompany her.
But when chatting, he also instilled in his wife from time to time that the second girl is the serious master.
Nanny Zhao didn't know if it would be useful, she just talked, and decided to go to the second girl's courtyard to see what was missing tomorrow.
There are no waiters in the second girl's courtyard, so we still need to pay attention to this.
Nanny Zhao thought that since the old madam was dissatisfied with the maid sent by the madam, she also said that she would let the second young lady pick someone herself, so she would have to send someone to the house tomorrow.
That night, Mrs. Sun didn't sleep well, and so did Gong Liangjing.
The maid beside her also rubbed away the bruises on her knees with medicinal wine, and then helped her to wash and go to bed.
Gong Liangjing lay on the bed, thinking about why Gong Liangyuan treated her like this, why she framed herself, obviously she didn't push others, but those people believed Gong Liangyuan.
Only the mother, only the mother believed in her, Gong Liangjing's originally dead and painful eyes suddenly flashed a gleam of light, and then dimmed again.
That was not her mother, but Gong Liangyuan's mother.
Realizing this, Gong Liangjing curled up in pain, covering her whole body under the quilt, refusing to see the light outside.
Of course, the Erfang also heard about what happened here. Hu Shi, the wife of the Second Master who was concubine in the Hou's mansion, heard the report from the servant, and her eyes shone brightly.
"Ms. Sun was really punished by the old lady?" Hu asked urgently.
The old lady who told her the good news also smiled, "Of course it's true, this is the news from our people."
There was a hearty smile on Hu's face, and she clapped her hands, "Well, well, I know she is a stupid woman. If it weren't for the position of Mrs. Hou, how could she be compared to me."
It can be seen how dissatisfied the Hu family is with the Sun family, and there is no fear in his words.
The mother-in-law looked around, although there were only two masters and servants in the room, she was still vigilant, "Madam be careful."
Mrs. Hu is usually a careful person, but just now she heard Mrs. Sun being punished, and she was too carefree, so she talked a little faster. When reminded by her mother-in-law, she put away the schadenfreude on her face and turned into a gentle and docile second. lady.
"My maidservant heard that the old lady is very partial to the second girl, and the eldest lady was punished because of the second girl." The old lady clarified the key points for Sun.
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu pondered for a long while before saying, "Go and take out the string of red coral bracelets in my box, and follow me to see the second girl tomorrow. The second girl is troubled. I am an aunt. , should go and see."
The old woman understood what her master meant, she nodded yes, and also found a few precious medicinal herbs, and sent them together tomorrow.
Tang Lihua didn't know that Erfang was thinking about this, but it didn't hurt to know, Erfang Hu's biggest desire was not just to be the head of the family.
It is absolutely impossible for the Second Household to obtain the Marquis of Ningyuan. If Gong Liangshan committed some serious crime and was dismissed by the emperor to the Marquis of Ningyuan, it would not be the Second Household's turn.
The reason is very simple, the title of marquis is for the sake of Tang Lihua by the emperor, and the second wife is a concubine, not Tang Lihua's own.
The people in the Hou Mansion knew this, and the Hu family knew it even more.
As Tang Lihua thought, Mrs. Hu had never thought about the position of Mrs. Hou, but Mrs. Hu had been staring at the power of the family for a long time.
On the surface, Mrs. Hu caters to Mrs. Sun everywhere, and looks like a good sister-in-law, but secretly Mrs. Hu is very jealous of Mrs. Sun. From Mrs. Hu's point of view, Mrs. Sun is stupid and pretentious. Let her be in charge of the house. I don't know how much to spend.
If it weren't for the steward Zhou who is next to Lord Hou in the front yard, the Hou mansion would be in short supply sooner or later.
But Mrs. Hu was in a hurry, and the old lady didn't ask questions.
What Hu Shi is more worried about is her daughter's marriage. If she can have the power to take charge, she can naturally find a good marriage for her daughter.
Mrs. Hu didn't believe Mrs. Sun would do her best for her daughter, so recently she was trying to please Mrs. Sun even more, thinking that when the time came to find someone else, Mrs. Sun would not be able to take care of her.
But in the end, it’s still not as reassuring as choosing it yourself.
The next day, when Gong Liangyuan woke up, everything in front of her was strange, and the bed curtains and curtains were not familiar to her. She even suspected that she had been reborn again.
The woman who heard the movement saw that she was awake, with a smile on her face, "The second girl is up, this old slave is going to prepare hot water for the second girl."
After speaking, she walked briskly out of the house, Gong Liangyuan looked around in a daze, and what happened last night slowly emerged in her mind.
Gong Liangyuan remembered that she rested at her grandmother's place yesterday.
She remembered that her eyes were covered by her grandmother's warm palms, and she fell asleep without knowing it. Looking at the light coming in from the window, she might have passed the time for morning saving.
Gong Liangyuan thought about it and hurriedly got off the bed. She remembered that her grandmother in her previous life was the most disliked by people who did not obey the rules.
Although Gong Liangyuan had never seen her grandmother get angry in her previous life, she had always been a little afraid of her grandmother after hearing what her servants and mother said, even now that she was reborn once again.
The mother-in-law who went to prepare hot water came back soon. Seeing that Gong Liangyuan was about to get out of bed, she quickly put the hot water on the shelf and went up to stop it, "Second girl, take it easy, you just had a high fever yesterday, and you can't suffer any more." It's cold, and this old slave is here to dress you up."
As he said that, he brought a set of clothes, which were delivered from Tinglanyuan early this morning.
Gong Liangyuan let her pass it on for her, washed up again, and then asked, "Well, I got up late, grandma..."
When she said this, her face was full of anxiety.
The old lady understood, and said with relief, "The old lady has specially ordered, wait for the girl to tidy up, and then go to see her, the second girl don't have to worry."
After hearing this, Gong Liangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, dressed neatly, and another maid came to comb her hair in a bun, and then followed the mother-in-law to the main hall.
