After listening to what Mama Zhao said, Aunt Pei couldn't help frowning.
The second girl Yan Qian interjected: "Since she can't come out, let her stay inside, why bother to let her out."
Yan Qian is older than Yan Yan, ranking second in the house, and is the daughter of Aunt Pei. Since she was a child, Yan Yan was at odds with each other, but she still had to learn how to treat Yan Yan with the same respect as Aunt Pei treated Shen Yiyao. Don't ask why, this is how Aunt Pei educated Yan Qian.
And Yan Qian has long disliked Yan Yan, and has secretly targeted Yan Yan countless times, but Yan Yan is the heir, and she has never been easy to bully. She has never had the upper hand. This time Yan Yan was locked up in the small Buddhist hall, but Yan Qian was about to wake up laughing from a dream.
"You go out to me, the lord is talking, why are you interrupting." Aunt Pei rarely raised her always pitiful face, a face like this that she had only shown to her two children.
Yan Qian pouted and went out with her handkerchief in her hands.
"Cousin girl, how do you think this is good?"
Aunt Pei thought about it for a while, then sighed: "It seems that I have to relieve my aunt this time. I will go to my wife to discuss it."
Zhao's mother's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak. In my heart, I despised this Auntie Pei's pretentiousness. Why did you relieve the old lady? Didn't you make it up
The slander returned to the slander, Zhao's mother still smiled and said: "The watch girl is wise, then there is a labor watch girl."
Aunt Pei went all the way to Jinse Courtyard. At this time, Jinse Courtyard also got the news that Mrs. Shen had arrived at the mansion.
Shen Yiyao packed up her makeup and was going to see her second sister-in-law. The messenger didn't know what Mrs. Shen was here for, so she just thought she was a guest.
Seeing Aunt Pei coming to the door at this time, she said to go to Rong'an Hall. But Auntie Pei told her to wait and had something to tell her. Shen Yiyao turned back into the hall according to her temperament, and the two sat down to talk.
Aunt Pei didn't have any ink, and went straight to the point, saying that Mrs. Shen had come to pick up the three girls to go to the Duke's Mansion, and that her grandfather and grandmother missed her granddaughter.
Shen Yiyao was a little stunned for a while, and her eyes were a little red, but not obvious.
"Since my parents miss A Yan, let's take it."
Concubine Pei looked a little embarrassed and whispered, "Madam, don't forget that the third girl is still locked in the small Buddhist hall."
Hearing this, Shen Yiyao squeezed the handkerchief tightly, and then she didn't know what to think, and said, "Since the incident happened suddenly, it will be avoided for the next day."
Shen Yiyao's attitude is very natural and upright, except for a little distressed and relieved on her face, there is nothing else.
Concubine Pei who said this was not easy to answer. She thought about it and said, "The three girls don't want to come out."
"Why?"
"The third girl said that since Madam said she would be locked up for half a month, she couldn't come out before the time came."
Shen Yiyao looked a little distressed and a little relieved, and murmured: "My A Yan is still obedient, she is a bit domineering in her temper, and she also knows that she is wrong..."
Concubine Pei was a little anxious, and she knew that there was no delay, so she couldn't help asking: "Madam, what can I do?"
"What should I do?" Shen Yiyao gave her a surprised look.
"If the three girls don't come out, how can I go to the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Shen Yiyao pondered for a moment and said, "It's naturally good for Ayan to feel remorse, then tell the second sister-in-law that Ayan will go back in a few days, and then the government will send someone to take her there."
The smile on Aunt Pei's face couldn't be maintained anymore, and she couldn't help but hurriedly said: "How can Second Lady Shen explain it? Is it not good to let her know that the third girl has been locked up?"
"What's not good about this, children who do something wrong will have to be punished. Our Shen family has always taught the younger generation like this."
Speaking of this, Shen Yiyao showed a nostalgic smile.
The Shen family has always had strict family rules. When she was a child, her two older brothers were punished like this by their father for doing wrong. It was because she was a daughter's family and she was much younger, so she had never been punished. And from Shen Yiyao's point of view, it's just a matter of self-reflection, a lot of food and drink, what can you have. Although A Yan was punished, she was also very distressed, but if she did something wrong, she must be punished.
"Okay, I won't delay you, I'll talk to the second sister-in-law."
Aunt Pei didn't expect to be shriveled in Shen Yiyao's place, but she still suffered a mute loss that couldn't be called bitter, so she could only withdraw angrily.
Zhao's mother was still waiting for her in Ziyuxuan. Seeing that her face was not good, she asked about the specific situation, and she could only turn around and go to the small Buddha hall again.
Mrs. Shen seemed to have done enough, so she asked Yan Yan why she still didn't come. The old lady smiled and said that she had already sent someone to invite her, and asked Mrs. Shen to wait.
Unexpectedly, if she can't wait for the first time or wait for the second time, Mrs. Shen's expression will be a little unpleasant.
"Old lady, is there something wrong, why can't Ayan still be there?"
"This..." The old lady told the maid next to her, "Go and see what's going on, why hasn't the third girl come yet?"
After sitting for a while, Zhao's mother came back and said something in the old lady's ear. The old lady's face suddenly changed color like a palette, and after a long while, she faced the second lady Shen.
She smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Mrs. Shen was laughed at, something went wrong. A while ago, A Yan and Yao'er had a conflict, and Yao'er was furious and shut A Yan. Get up. The old man originally said, let Ayan out and let her go with you to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, lest the mother and daughter become more and more stiff, who knows that Yaoer's temper is not allowed, look at this... "
Mrs. Shen's eyes were burning, and her face was full of smiles. Hearing this, she was startled and said, "Really? What did A Yan do wrong, the little girl actually moved like this."
The old lady covered her smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the mother and daughter have lost their temper. Yao'er originally said that Ayan would be locked up for half a month, but the time hasn't arrived yet, she said that she will let Ayan out when the time is up, saying that the in-laws' house This has always been the way to educate the younger generation, and I, as a mother-in-law, can’t say anything. Or else, I will persuade Yao’er again, and send Ayan to the Duke of Zhenguo in two days?”
Mrs. Shen has been interacting with the noble ladies of various governments all the year round, and she is naturally aware of the disposition of these people to talk to people and talk to ghosts. Although Shen Yiyao seldom went back to her parents' home after she got married, Mrs. Shen still understood the disposition of this little girl. She had always loved A Yan, how could she hold back her forcibly. What's more, the Shen family has strict rules for educating the younger generation, but at most it is only for male juniors, it is never like this for girls. Outsiders don't know, but that doesn't mean insiders don't know either.
So this old woman is talking nonsense with her eyes open, and her words are very high. There are a lot of meanings in the words, that is, put the matter of Guan Ayan aside, put it all on the little sister, and use the rules of the Shen family to oppress others, hoping to let her know this, stop entanglement, and say it again. It is extremely bright and has the meaning of seeing off guests.
Changed to an ordinary person, and naturally left.
But who is Mrs. Shen Er
She was the daughter-in-law that even Duke Zhen Guo praised, and she came here with her father's orders, and even saw a lot of tricks from it, how could they get their wish
What's more, Mrs. Shen doesn't know that she is a fool. She has been here for almost half an hour, and Shen Yiyao, who is the aunt, has not yet arrived. This is another tricky thing.
There was a reason why Shen Yiyao didn't arrive. Seeing that things were not going well, Aunt Pei ordered someone to stop her. He was talking about the incident of the servants who were beaten into the water by Yan Yan and became more seriously ill. Shen Yiyao would not be able to get away for a while, and Mrs. Yan could send the second Mrs. Shen away as soon as possible. They have some slack.
It's a pity to let them down...
Second Mrs. Shen made a distressed expression and said anxiously, "Why is my little sister so confused! How old is A Yan, and she has always been smart and clever, and her in-laws love them so much, why are you stubborn here? How can I go back? Tell my mother-in-law, let’s be honest, my mother-in-law will definitely be so distressed that she can’t sleep at night. No, no, I still have to take Xiao Ayan back today. Where is Ayan being detained? what!"
After speaking, Mrs. Shen stood up and looked like she was leading the way.
The old lady sat there, and the whole person was not well.
"Old lady, can you find someone to help lead the way?"
Can she say no
Zhao's mother, who was busy running around just now, had to lead the way and laughed, but the smile was extremely stiff.
…
Yan Yan sat there stubbornly, and no one dared to touch her.
After Zhao's mother left, she came back after a while and led everyone away, and the door was closed and locked again.
Yan Yan was a little anxious. Could it be that her second aunt was fooled away by her grandmother
No, no, the second aunt is so shrewd, and Madam Hui is sending letters back in the middle of the night, so it will definitely not be so easy to pass. Thinking about it this way, Yan Yan calmed down and sat there with her knees tucked firmly.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then the door was opened.
"Little Ayan!"
Hearing an exclamation, Mrs. Shen rushed forward and hugged Yan Yan.
Second Mrs. Shen couldn't believe her eyes, even if she already had some knowledge in her heart, if it weren't for the real hardship, A Yan's stubborn temper would definitely not have reached the point of asking for help from her grandfather. But seeing the reality, she knew what the real situation was like.
As soon as the door opened, there was flying dust everywhere. Little A Yan sat on the ground with her knees tucked, her hair and clothes were messed up, and there was no way she looked like she used to be full of flamboyant eyebrows.
All of this stabbed Mrs. Shen's eyes and heart, and made her instantly furious.
The Shen family has always had few girls, and Duke Zhen Guo has two sons and one daughter, and the only daughter is Shen Yiyao. The eldest son Shen Dong has three sons and no daughters, and the second son Shen Ding has two sons and no daughters.
Not having a daughter has always been the regret of Mrs. Shen Er, but when she gave birth to the second child, she lost her body, and it is not easy to conceive in the future, so she almost regards Yan Yan as her own daughter. So furious.
"You Weiyuan Houfu shut up a child, that's how you shut it up? There isn't even a window in this hut, and it's been shut for several days!"
Mama Zhao explained with a stiff smile: "Second madam, this is the order of the madam. You also know that our old madam is not good to say anything!"
"Don't follow me with this, Mrs. Ben doesn't know about you bastards. Seeing that the master doesn't know what's going on, she deceives and deceives the master. Mrs. Shen Yiyao knows better. If she knew this was the case, I will never lock my daughter in here!"
Zhao's mother's face was a little stiff. Of course, she could tell who these idiots were scolding, and she was suspected of accusing Sang and scolding Huai. She is old and sophisticated, and looking at this movement, she estimates that things will not be trivial, so she has to take herself out first.
"This, the madam also knows that the slaves serve the old madam, and the others don't know."
Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, "Okay, go and call someone who knows, I'd like to see what your Weiyuan Houfu has to say!"
"Second aunt..."
Mrs. Shen patted Yan Yan in her arms comfortably, and said, "Don't be afraid, Ayan, you don't care about this matter, aunt will seek justice for you."
While talking, the servant girl brought by Mrs. Shen brought a spring stool from somewhere, and she sat on it with Yan Yan in her arms.
Seeing this, Zhao's mother swallowed the words 'talk from another place'. After salute, he hurried back.
