Aunt Pei, who is slender and thin, crawled on the edge of the kang and coughed hard.
The kang was covered with a rouge-colored tulle mattress, and when she was struggling just now, she grabbed it in a mess. She was coughing and crying. The maid outside the door seemed to hear the movement inside, and asked a question outside in a low voice. She was frightened by the sound of Yan Ting's shattering tea cup on the ground, so she didn't dare to make a sound.
Aunt Pei was extremely embarrassed at this time, her slender jade neck was bruised and her eyes were red and swollen. She used to use all kinds of rouge and gouache to decorate her makeup, but at this time she was also smeared with tears.
Yan Ting glanced at her lightly, half lifted the hem of his robe, turned around and sat down on the armchair beside him.
After a long time, Concubine Pei calmly came over. She didn't care about the embarrassment, she wiped a messy face with her sleeves, and crawled to Yan Ting's feet, hugging his legs.
"Biao, cousin, you really... wronged me. I know about this... I didn't tell you that it was me or I was wrong. But you came to Ziyuxuan once in the past few days when you returned to the residence. It was a long time ago. When I saw my cousin, I was so excited that I forgot it, but after thinking about it, I wanted to tell it, but I was afraid that my wife would be upset when she saw it..."
The originally soft and delicate voice was now hoarse and harsh like that of an old woman. Concubine Pei's throat was sore, but she couldn't care anymore at this moment, she was trembling with fear, but she resisted pretending to be sad.
She didn't know what happened, but what Yan Ting said just now revealed a lot of information. Aunt Pei has never been a fool. She thought of Yan Ting's inexplicable transfer back to Beijing, and of the fact that Mr. Hou was in a bad mood every day when he went out early and returned late. The housekeeper has been in the front yard for several years. People, so I know that Yan Ting is not in a good mood these few days.
Combined with Yan Ting's rare anger just now and what he just said, Aunt Pei came to a result that made her stunned. Is it because of that incident that Duke Zhen Guo angered his cousin, so he was transferred back to Beijing
Aunt Pei understands what Yan Ting values most, so no matter what, she must not have anything to do with her this time, or he will not let her go! She is different from Shen Yiyao's naivety, she knows too well what kind of person the gentle and handsome cousin is on the inside!
I still remember many years ago, when Yan Ting just got engaged with Shen Yiyao, and Shen Yiyao hadn't even been there yet. One of Yan Ting's passers-by secretly exchanged Bizi soup, and when he was pregnant, the passer-by was a clever one, and kept it a secret until his stomach could no longer hide it.
The old lady was distressed that this was Yan Ting's first child, and could not bear to let him have an abortion, but Yan Ting personally asked his mother-in-law to boil the abortion pill, and he watched it poured into it. In the end, the blood flowed through the room, and one corpse and two lives.
It was also at that time that Aunt Pei realized that Yan Ting, who was gentle on the surface, was actually a very ruthless person. Whoever dares to block his way, others will block the killing Buddha and block the killing Buddha!
"...In that incident, Hong'er only came up temporarily, not on purpose, but the third girl held on to her bite and insisted that Hong'er deliberately pushed the fourth young master into the water. The fourth young master was not in good health, so it was inconvenient for Aunt Chenghuan. Beneath her knees, Hong'er added countless fun to her aunt and made her feel the joy of having a grandson, so her aunt is a little biased towards Hong'er..."
Aunt Pei's expression was mournful, sobbing and complaining, as if she had suffered endless grievances.
"... That day, the three girls made a big fuss, and the aunt heard the wind coming, and her attitude was a little biased towards Hong'er. When the three girls saw it, the meaning was that the aunt was partial to the safety of the fourth young master, and the three girls were aggressive, relying on the presence of With the support of the Duke of Zhenguo, he actually threatened the old lady. My aunt is so old, how can I be so angry, the concubine really can't stand it anymore, so she collided with a few words... The lady has always been filial, but she was really anxious, so she gave her life. After shutting down the three girls, who would have thought that the Duke of Zhenguo would actually come..."
What is a tongue-in-cheek tongue, that's all.
It seems that she is expressing truthfully, but in fact she is speaking for herself, and ordered the old lady to come out of the tank. In fact, it was indeed the old lady who stopped in front. Can Yan Ting say that his mother is wrong? Of course, there is no shortage of the government of Zhenguo, who is bullying others.
Aunt Pei knew what Yan Ting hated the most, so she never hesitated to cheer up Yan Ting and say a few words about the town's government. At this time, he tried his best to push all the responsibilities on Yan Yan and Duke Zhen Guogong, including Mrs. Shen Er who came to the house to pick up Yan Yan, who was also said to be extremely domineering and domineering.
"... This is a misunderstanding, and no one can predict it. The concubine understands my cousin's plan, and how can it be deliberately sabotaged when it is imminent... "
When the words fell, Aunt Pei burst into tears. She wiped away her tears and was heartbroken.
"In the past few years when my cousin was away, my concubine fulfilled her duties, managed everything in the family seriously, raised the second girl and the third young master, and never dared to slack off. She never gave her face. The lady is gentle and can't control her. The old lady is obstructing the face of Duke Zhen, and she doesn't dare to reprimand her. Everyone in the mansion shuns her... Even so, Duke Zhen still feels wronged. She is a granddaughter, and she gave the three girls something to give away with great fanfare, only to enter the room..."
Yan Ting's expression was not conspicuous, but the hand on the arm of the armchair was tightened tightly, and blue veins were faintly visible.
Aunt Pei was delighted to see it and continued to cry.
…
After a long time, Yan Ting's voice sounded above his head.
"Get up."
Aunt Pei looked up at him, then lowered her head, "Is that cousin still mad at Yujin?"
The air was stagnant for a moment, Aunt Pei was uneasy in her heart, and Yan Ting's voice sounded, "Keep your duty, I don't like people who lose their sense."
Lost your measure? What is a loss of measure
This measure is by no means a measure in the eyes of the world, but a measure in Yan Ting's eyes.
Aunt Pei understood this, she was relieved, and stood up cautiously.
"Cousin, the concubine has no status!" She timidly wiped her tears, looking both pitiful and aggrieved.
Yan Ting stood up and glanced at her, "Take care of your injury."
After speaking, he left.
At this time, several maids who had been watching the movement outside came in.
Seeing the mess in the house, and seeing the wound on Aunt Pei's jade neck, she was so frightened that she burst into tears. Xiang Liu was going to invite a doctor, but was stopped by Aunt Pei.
What my cousin said 'keep' means keeping, and it's best not to let outsiders know about it.
Aunt Pei explained it in detail, and then she went to the kang, leaning on the kang, and asked the maid to get the wound medicine to wipe it.
***
After leaving Rong'an Hall, Yan Zhi wandered all the way back to the courtyard of the big house.
When I saw the Xue Shi when I entered the door, I reprimanded: "Damn, such a heavy hand!"
Xue Shi ignored him and dragged him to the inner room.
"What is the old lady looking for you for, to make such a big fanfare?"
Yan Zhi didn't hide it from her, and told the general situation.
Xue Shi breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "I thought it was because of that, thinking about not making a big fuss, how can I hide it."
It turned out that the big house was not well-off, so Xue Shi and Yan Zhi discussed it and took some money to put money outside. Although the interest is not much, it can subsidize some daily expenses.
In those days, many people were forced to death because of the money given by big families. After the incident became serious, the current sage ordered a strict inspection, and all the people involved were killed.
So far, the release of Yinzi money is a taboo for some families with titles and officials. The big room and the couple had no choice but to think about it.
Yan Zhi's official position is low, and his monthly salary is not enough to make a better piece of clothes. Xue's family is not useful, and the dowry given at the beginning is not much. But if you want to support the door, you must get money. Where does the money come from? There are so many cases of the big house every month.
Seeing that she was looking for Yan Zhi with such a big fanfare today, Xue Shi thought it was because the old lady knew about it that she would make such a fuss. As for Yan Zhi taking care of the outer room, that was what he said to prove that he knew everything and said everything.
If something goes wrong, the Xue family will continue to make a fuss, and at that time Yan Zhi kicked her and told her to go back, which was also a signal that it had nothing to do with this matter and could rest.
These two couples can be considered as a husband and wife, and their profits are broken, but unfortunately they did not use the right path.
"Then according to what you said, it was Duke Zhen Guo's revenge when he was transferred back there?" Xue Shi's eyes shone brightly.
Yan Zhi touched his chin and leaned on the back of the chair, "I think eight/nine are inseparable from ten. Smart people like to treat people as fools. If the people in the township government were stupid, they wouldn't exist to this day. I said this earlier. No, but it's a pity that talking in the manor doesn't work."
"You don't care about this, so you don't complain about doing good deeds. They want to toss and toss as much as they like. It's really impossible. Let's save more money and go out to make a bill by ourselves."
This is also a way out of nowhere. Anyone else would choose to lean on the mountains of Houfu, but it never works for the big couple to talk in the residence. Sometimes Xue's family can't figure it out, it's obvious how good it is to have a prince of the township as a backer, and why the situation has developed into what it is today.
What to do? Isn't it good to be the son-in-law of Duke Zhen Guo? Could it be that this is what makes smart people think differently from stupid people like them
This question is very deep.
"Don't go to the old lady's place during this time!" Yan Zhi said.
Xue shi rolled her eyes, "I don't need you to tell me, I know too."
