Chapter 57: Doumi's feud

"Isn't it right?" Gu Ma glanced at Madam Chu, but she didn't want to stop her, so she continued to ask, "Why is it wrong?"

Mother Su said eagerly: "There is a storefront under the name of the fifth girl, called Yunzhi Embroidery Village, isn't it?"

Does Chu Jinyao have a store under his name? The girls in the yard suddenly looked at Mrs. Chu, when did this happen, how could they not know

Mother Su peeked at everyone standing in the yard like the Queen Mother Xian'e. On the top steps stood an old lady, who was probably the ancestor of the Hou Mansion. Next to this ancestor stood many young daughters-in-law, who were probably juniors in the Hou Mansion. It's the granddaughter girl. On the other side stood an extravagant woman whose clothes were even brighter than Madam Chu's. Mother Su guessed that this should be what Chu Jinmiao said, the empress from the county palace.

To be honest, Mother Su was shocked when she saw Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao actually looked like this? If it wasn't for being mentioned in advance, or if they met on the street, Mother Su wouldn't dare to recognize it. Chu Jinyao stood in the corridor with her hands up, her black hair like clouds, her lips red and her teeth white. In addition to being surprised, Mother Su also found it delicious. Seeing other noble people, she would not dare to think otherwise, but seeing Chu Jinyao, who had been shouting since childhood, became like this, it was difficult for people to accept it. .

Mother Su looked around and found that except for a few girls who were surprised, the princess in the center didn't look any different at all. Yes, after all, she is the empress of the county king's mansion. I haven't seen anything before. It's just an embroidery farm. Maybe the princess of the county still feels inexplicable.

Mother Su worked harder and said, "It's not surprising that there is a shop under the girl's name, so do you know where this shop came from?"

"Where did you come from?" Standing in the crowd, the three girls couldn't help but secretly say, "What else could it be, isn't it given by your grandmother and father?"

Mother Su heard it, she shook her head exaggeratedly, and said, "No. This shop is not the property of the masters of the Hou Mansion. The real shopkeeper of the Xiu Zhuang is surnamed Wei and has nothing to do with the Hou's residence. This Xiu Zhuang belongs to Wei Da. The shopkeeper let the five girls buy shares in vain."

Mrs. Chu listened for a long time, but she heard this kind of ignorant rhetoric. She sneered and said, "What do I still say, it turns out to be this. To tell the princess of the county, I already knew about these things, their family The shopkeeper distributes dividends to the five girls every month, and I know that too."

"Oh?" Princess Jun was very curious, "Dividends are no better than others. It's not that people you trust can't do it at all. Why does Shopkeeper Wei distribute dividends to Fifth Girls in vain?"

"It's a long story." Mrs. Chu thought that these people were just doing the right thing. She was disdainful and explained to the princess, "Five girls saved a child on the street last year. A gift of thanks."

Mrs. Chu was selfish and wanted to hide the fact that the prince was in good hands with their family, so she took this matter away. Princess Princess heard many questions in her ears.

She has also dealt with the store steward. Whose shopkeeper will use the store bonus as a thank you gift? This is too precious, even if there is a life-saving grace, it cannot be justified. The princess of the county was skeptical after hearing this, and felt more and more that the Marquis of Changxing was doing something wrong.

Father Su stood cramped, he was not very good at speaking, and now he has nowhere to put his hands and feet. Mother Su didn't like Father Su's soft feet, so she pushed Father Su aside, sat on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, trying her best to say, "I thought it was a life-saving grace, and I secretly made peace with her. Her father said that the five girls had come for all the hard work, and it was not worth our efforts to raise her. However, when we came to visit relatives in the city these days, we heard the guys in the shop say that they are doing this to learn from the rich masters and spend thousands of dollars on beauties. A smile. Shopkeeper Wei is clearly thinking of something else when he does this!"

Old Madam Chu's eyelids twitched, and she hurriedly stopped Mother Su: "You salty old woman, what are you talking about?"

Mother Su patted the ground and faked crying: "Don't think I'm not good at speaking, ladies and gentlemen, is that what I said? Otherwise, who else would cut their own meat and do such things?"

The little maid who was hiding behind the pillars was already whispering to her companions uncontrollably. Princess Princess was stunned. What Mrs. Chu said just now was incomprehensible. Now listening to this crazy woman, it seems that this is the case.

Madam Chu was immediately furious. How could it be nonsense when it comes to women's famous festivals? She immediately ordered the two lunatics to be beaten out. Mother Su was lying on the ground and cried, "My poor son." He put his arm and said, "Grandma, let me go down first, and I'll have a word with her."

Madam Chu held back her anger, and temporarily asked Mammy Gu to wait beside her with someone.

Chu Jinyao looked at Su's mother, who was lying on the ground and buying silly. She was her adoptive mother who had raised her for thirteen years. Until two years ago, she was still calling them parents. Chu Jinmiao's voice was surprisingly calm: "You are empty-handed, but you can't falsely accuse others. Do you have any evidence for insulting my reputation? You said that you listened to the guys in the shop, but it's shopkeeper Wei's gossip. Ordinary guys can know

Mother Su was stunned for a moment, and immediately slammed into her heart and cried out: "I have raised you for thirteen years, and you are pulling a lot of shit and urine, and you are humiliating me like this. I have suffered and suffered for so many years, and I would rather not have enough to eat. Hey, you will be beaten by you in the end. You said that I falsely accused you, but this is what Manager Wei has in mind. You don’t know it yourself, so how can you say it’s not possible?”

Chu Jinyao was blocked for a moment, and said angrily, "You don't need to arrange the Wei family's shopkeeper here, but you can show evidence!"

"What kind of evidence can you come up with for the thoughts of this man and woman? You can just judge this person, the Wei family treats you so kindly, do you have this kind of thinking? Do you still need to find evidence!"

This is simply nonsense. There is no evidence, and there is no guarantee of proof, just rely on a mouth, open your mouth and say "what do you think", you can create such nonsense and pull out such nonsense. However, although the terrifying mother Su spoke vulgarly, she really hit the soft underbelly of the woman's reputation. Nowadays, the etiquette is strict, and the world is very harsh on the reputation of women. If someone takes a fancy to it and accidentally spreads it to the outside world, the world will not say that the man is wrong, but will accuse the woman of not being self-respecting, and it is obvious that the woman has done nothing. Now Mother Su is messing around, she can't come up with evidence, and she can't come up with reason, but if it falls in other people's ears, it is Chu Jinyao who is wrong.

Ruining a woman's reputation is too simple. Even if she is chasing after the wind and chasing shadows, even if her husband's family believes in the woman more, they will quit their relationship with the woman in order to save face and avoid suspicion.

Princess Princess is now thinking like this.

Although Princess Princess felt that today's incident was strange, but their family was a palace, and with such a noble family, there were innocent women to choose from. Why did she find a daughter-in-law who didn't understand? This old woman is probably talking nonsense and pouring dirty water on Chu Jinyao, but... what if

If it was the old princess who came today, there would still be room for change in this matter, but the princess of the county did not like Chu Jinyao at all. Now that she heard it, she immediately changed her mind and felt that the matter needed to be discussed again.

When Mrs. Chu saw the Princess Princess's face, her heart went cold. She hurriedly motioned to Gu Momo: "full of nonsense. Pull them out!"

Mother Su lay on the ground and rolled on the ground: "Oh, it's going to be a trick, the dignified man's mansion dares to do it and dare not recognize it..."

Chu Jinyao couldn't help it anymore, and shouted coldly, "It's a fake thing, how long are you going to act? Do you really think I don't know your thoughts?"

"What can I think, I'm all for your own good!"

Chu Jinyao sneered: "I'm so embarrassed to say, you're probably doing it for your own daughter."

Chu Jinmiaozhi stood by and watched the play with satisfaction, unexpectedly Chu Jinyao burned her alive. Chu Jinmiao was startled and said quickly, "You can't wash yourself, but don't pull me into the water. You kept saying that you wanted evidence just now. Now that you speak, where's the evidence?"

"Shut up." Chu Jinyao glanced at Chu Jinmiao very rudely and said, "The wall ash on your skirt has not been wiped clean."

The girls watching the excitement immediately turned to look at Chu Jinmiao's dress. The third girl quietly bumped into the sixth girl's arm, and said in a low voice, "Look at that piece, it seems that it was indeed rubbed against it."

The sixth girl shook her head and signaled the third girl not to speak. Chu Jinmiao panicked, she wanted to look at her skirt, but she was afraid of leaving behind a handle, so she held back abruptly. Not to be outdone, she choked back: "I don't know when I rubbed some dust on my skirt, but what does that mean? I don't even know them, what does this have to do with me."

"If it doesn't matter, what are you in a hurry to clear up?" Chu Jinyao said, "No one said you had anything to do with them, but you jumped out in a hurry to clarify."

Mrs. Chu saw that the commotion was really bad, so she interrupted: "Okay, don't talk about it. I will let people investigate the matter in detail, and then I will give a fair statement."

The three girls sneered, obviously disapproving of this. Given how much Old Madam Chu valued Chu Jinyao, she would naturally cover up this matter in every possible way. Can you believe the results of the investigation

The old lady Chu said to the princess of the county, "The princess of the county, please sit inside, and later I will tell the princess of the county the whole story."

Princess Jun nodded hesitantly. She was also the head of the family. She couldn't believe Madam Chu's so-called result. But when she was in the Hou Mansion, the Princess Princess had to give Old Madam Chu this face. After she nodded her head, she had someone help her and then went back to the house.

Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and let the culprit who made the trouble be ignored for the time being. The most urgent task now is to get the princess of the county to understand and let the princess of the county agree not to care about the matter.

Mrs. Chu only values interests, not the truth.

Before entering the house, Yang Qixia said unintentionally: "The fifth girl has a good life, there is a grandmother who protects her like this."

After the Princess Princess heard this, her face became paler.

When Su's father and Su's mother saw that the people in the Hou Mansion were going to pull them down, they suddenly shouted. Father Su, who was like a gourd with a saw-mouthed gourd, couldn't help shouting: "We are out of good intentions to tip off the news. If you don't appreciate it, you still have to subdue it now?"

Mother Su even rolled around in the yard, shouting at the top of her voice: "I'm going to lynch the good people, is there still a king's law!"

Chu Jinyao's hands were shaking angrily. She knew that if someone really pulled Su's father and Su's mother down today, she would not be able to tell what the final result would be. If the result is bad, others will say she deserves it, but if the result is good, these people will also say yin and yang: "She bought the mouth of the complaint."

It was really a disaster, Chu Jinyao quietly watched Mother Su's clumsy and ugly performance, she closed her eyes, suddenly opened her mouth and said to Mammy Gu: "Mother, please stop, I have a clear conscience, if you have anything to say, in front of you The faces of the people will tell you.”

Gu Momo persuaded: "Girl, they are just a bunch of vulgar farmers, why should you condescend to talk to them?"

"Even if it's a farmer, they're pulling me up anyway. In the past, I'd have to call them father and mother."

Gu Momo stiffened when she heard this: "Girl..."

"Mummy doesn't have to be uncomfortable, it's the truth, there's nothing to say." Chu Jinyao said, "Get out of the way first, and I'll tell them."

Gu Mama was extremely embarrassed, she took a half step back and looked up to see Old Madam Chu's instructions.

And Chu Jinyao was already standing in front of Su's mother. Su's mother was lying on the ground and splashing. When Chu Jinyao stood in front, Su's mother was lying and Chu Jinyao was standing. Embarrassed, he got up from the ground.

Chu Jinyao faced Mother Su and said, "I used to call you a mother, so no matter what you do to me, I will endure it. When I return to the Hou's mansion later, I will think of your kindness of parenting. I didn't tell anyone. However, I respect you as elders, but you all want me to die."

Mother Su was about to shout when she heard it, but Chu Jinyao didn't give her the chance, and continued: "How did you treat me when you were young, do you remember? Counting the middle of the winter, you asked me to wash clothes by the river, and my sister secretly gave it to me. I brought hot water, and when you saw it, you kicked me in front of me and fined me not to eat for a day. You told me to go to the mountain to pick up firewood before dawn, and when I picked it up, you But I kicked it away and scolded me for being lazy, while Su Sheng slept on the bed all day, but you can't see like you are blind."

Chu Jinyao was a little choked up when she spoke, she took a deep breath and held it back, and looked at Mother Su mockingly: "By the way, today you are here to do such a big thing, why didn't Su Sheng come? You must think that Su Sheng wants to Those who take the exam, can't show their faces, and can't come to other people's houses to do these ruffian activities. You have been biased since you were young, and you have been scolding me. I admit it, who made me a girl? But I only now know that you are not It's cruel to all girls, but only to me! You knew early on that I'm not your daughter, so you think it's a favor to eat whatever you want, and it's a good deed if you don't torture me to death. However, when you torture me like this What kind of life did your biological daughter live in the Hou Mansion? She is dressed in fine clothes and food, and her servants are like clouds. My parents and relatives really treat her as a daughter!"

Linglong was uncomfortable hearing this, and cried out with tears in her eyes: "Miss..." Madam Chu, who was beside her, was furious, "How dare they treat you like this?"

Chu Jinyao finally spoke out what she had been holding back for years, she ignored the outsiders and continued: "In the beginning, you deliberately replaced me to make your daughter live a good life, but later if it wasn't for my father to call the shots , I will be kept in the dark by you all my life. Now that my father has brought me back, that person looks forward, and I have no plans to care about the past. However, now that your daughter has lived a rich life, she Or the fourth young lady of the Marquis of Changxing, what else do you want? Why did you jump out and ruin my life, do I owe you?"

There were already people in the yard who couldn't listen, and they turned their heads and couldn't bear to listen any more. For these noble ladies who can't step on the ground, how can they imagine how terrifying the malice at the bottom will be. The people next to her felt angina pectoris, but Chu Jinyao, the client, was very calm. Her grievances and discomfort had long since passed.

Su's father and Su's mother were confronted by Chu Jinyao, and they were asked to retreat, unable to say a word. And this is not over, what is the use of calculating the old accounts in the past, these pains are over, what Chu Jinyao really wants to settle with them is the current account.

Chu Jinyao suppressed the tumbling emotions and continued: "Because of you, I have spent thirteen years of hardship outside, and the frostbite on my hands in winter will not heal. Because of you, my biological mother is not close to me. Now, you still have grudges against me. And now, for Chu Jinmiao's sake, do you want to harm me again? Why did you choose to enter the mansion today? Without someone inside, you two outsiders can't even recognize the road, how can you come here. Your thoughts are so clear, you are afraid that I will block the way of your biological daughter, but you still say that it is all for the sake of I'm good?"

Zhao was surprised and surprised when he heard Chu Jinyao say what he had been living in the Su family. She has lived in a wealthy family all her life, and she does not distinguish between the four bodies and the five grains. She thought that although the Su family was in the countryside, the food and clothing expenses were only a little worse, and the rest was no different from the Hou family. Now that she heard what Chu Jinyao said, she realized how wrong she was.

Zhao's lips twitched, trying to say something, but she didn't have a chance to say it. She didn't know that Chu Jinyao lived like this before, if she knew, she would not neglect Chu Jinyao. After Zhao Shi heard that Chu Jinyao said that her biological mother was not close to her, Zhao Shi was even more heartbroken, and couldn't help but tilt her head and cry.

On the other hand, Mother Su was already a little panicked when she was questioned by Chu Jinyao in series. She also mentioned all these questions, she did everything according to Chu Jinmiao's arrangement, Su mother didn't dare to implicate Chu Jinmiao, so she didn't even look at Chu Jinmiao, and replied, "You have complaints against us. It's our own business, don't involve others, what does this have to do with the four girls?"

Chu Jinyao laughed self-deprecatingly: "You both beat and scold me, but you defended a strange woman who had only met a few times. Sure enough, your own daughter is different."

Chu Jin stood far away with nothing to do with herself, and after hearing this, he replied, "Chu Jinyao, be careful when you speak, I don't know them, don't associate these two hillbillies with me."

Chu Jinyao looked at Su's father and Su's mother sarcastically: "Did you hear that, you offended the rich and powerful like you risked your life for her, but she still thinks you are rude. You can come here thanks to Chu Jinmiao leading the way. Otherwise, how could there be wall ash on her skirt."

"Shut up!" Chu Jinmiao panicked and scolded, "What evidence do you have, you dare to spit people here? I don't know them at all, the ash on the skirt was just rubbed on while walking."

"You dare to say that you have never been to the second door, nor have you seen the three of the Su family before?"

Chu Jinmiao gritted her teeth and said, "I dare."

Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinmiao were at a stalemate. Princess Jun watched for a while, and then said softly to Madam Chu, "Madam, the two young ladies of your residence are very articulate."

Mrs. Chu was embarrassed. The most important thing for a woman is to be submissive, and articulation is not an advantage. Rong Ningtang was making a lot of noise, and suddenly a person came in outside the hospital. When the person saw Su's father and Su's mother, his face was ashen with anger.

"Why did you come here?" Su Hui was so angry that her teeth hurt, she grabbed Su's mother's hand rudely and was about to walk out, "I'll just say why you've been babbling about recently, it turned out to be to bully Yaoyao. She If you live well, why don't you just let her go?"

Mrs. Chu frowned: "Who is this? How can anyone come in in the back house?"

The voices of Lin Xiyuan and Lin Xining sounded from outside, and the second young master came along with him.

"We brought it here," said the second young master, "I heard that there was trouble in the backyard, so I came here with the prince. We happened to see this woman begging at the doorman when we passed by. I asked the people around her fifth sister. She can talk about things and things, and the prince said that she really had something to report, so he brought it over together."

Princess Princess saw her son, and her expression softened a lot. She asked softly, "Yuan'er, why are you here?"

Lin Xiyuan didn't speak. He looked at the mess in the yard and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Hui forcefully pulled Su's mother out: "Hurry up and save yourself. You haven't seen Yaoyao since you were a child. Now that everyone has gone home, what are you doing here? It's a shame, go back with me!" Su While twisting Su's mother, Hui said to the old lady Chu and the princess: "Su Hui, the daughter of the people, used to be the foster sister of the five girls. My parents have problems with their brains, and they like to talk about some things. They used to be in It's like this in the village, and the madness has happened again in a few days, ladies, don't take it seriously."

It turned out to be the daughter of the couple, and several ladies present suddenly realized that since their daughters have all come out to say it, it seems that the couple's mind is unclear. Old Madam Chu's expression softened, and she said, "It's been a long time, but it turns out that a lunatic said crazy things, and it was even arranged on our five girls. It's really a disaster."

Princess Princess's expression also loosened, is it really crazy? Seeing that something bad was about to happen, Chu Jinmiao hated Su Hui so much that she hurriedly said casually, "Is it a brain disease? But I see them talking and doing things, they don't look like sick people. , this kind of cursing parents can't be said nonsense, obviously just now I saw that they were very organized."
