Chapter 10 Punishment
Inside Yunsong Courtyard.
There is sandalwood lingering in the house, so you can calm down and concentrate.
The old lady looked at Shen Fengxu who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have been wronged in some way?"
Shen Fengxu knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, but didn't say a word. He just looked very sad and looked like he had cried. His look was forbearing and made people feel pity.
"My granddaughter is here to apologize to my grandmother." Chen Fengxu's eyes were red, and he presented the fragments of the jade pendant and said, "It's all my granddaughter's fault for letting someone break the jade pendant."
When the old lady saw the jade pendant broken into pieces, she felt a little dizzy for a moment. She had just given the reward yesterday, but seeing this happen today, she couldn't help but feel furious.
So the old lady asked: "You said someone broke the jade pendant? Who did it?"
"This..." Shen Fengxu looked hesitant, biting her lip and refusing to make a sound. After a long while, she lowered her head and said, "My granddaughter was careless, and she asked her grandmother to punish her."
The old lady suddenly remembered what Fangzhu said when she came back yesterday, so her face darkened and she asked: "Is the girl in your yard ignorant?"
"No, no, no." Shen Fengxu waved her hands hurriedly, "The one who broke the jade pendant was...it was..." But he still couldn't say it.
"Tell me what you want." The old lady looked worried. Although she rewarded Chen Fengxu with the jade pendant, this jade pendant had extraordinary significance to her. She was naturally unhappy when she saw the jade pendant was damaged.
"Please grandma not blame the fourth sister. She made the mistake unintentionally and it is all the granddaughter's fault." Shen Fengxu refused to raise his head, and his voice was a little low.
"Is it Shen Yuxiang?" The old lady slapped the table hard, her face condensed, "Go and call Shen Yuxiang over."
Fangzhu responded and went outside.
"If the granddaughter didn't tie the jade pendant on her body, and the fourth sister couldn't see it, she wouldn't have broken the jade pendant in a hurry..." Chen Fengxu whispered in a low voice, blaming herself, "In the end, it's all because of the granddaughter's failure. good."
"What's your fault? Since I gave you the jade pendant, it's natural for you to tie it on your body." The old lady said coldly, "I just didn't expect Shen Yuxiang to be so narrow-minded that she dropped your jade pendant."
Chen Fengxu lowered his head deeper, but the corners of his lips curved slightly, and his smile was thin and cold.
After a while, Shen Yuxiang also arrived at Yunsong Courtyard. She knew it was about the jade pendant, so she looked very ugly. She glanced at Shen Fengxu and knelt down to say hello.
"My granddaughter pays her respects to her grandmother."
The old lady looked at her coldly, and asked with all her face: "Shen Yuxiang, why did you break your sixth sister's things? As a girl from the uncle's house, do you have such a narrow-minded mind?"
"No..." Shen Yuxiang's face turned pale when she was accused like this, "I didn't mean to do it. It was Liu Mei's fault. She didn't keep her own things properly, so she had to take them out..."
With a "pop" sound, the old lady slapped the table, and the tea tray on the table trembled.
"The mistake has been made, yet you are still so unrepentant!" The old lady was really angry and looked at Shen Yuxiang coldly, "It seems that I have been spoiled by the eldest lady these years."
There was a deathly silence in the room, with only the sandalwood burning quietly. Shen Yuxiang was probably frightened by the old lady's appearance, and was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she spoke out in defense.
"It was obviously the sixth sister who broke my hairpin first, so I...if we really investigate, it was the sixth sister who did it first." Shen Yuxiang bit her lower lip, feeling aggrieved, "My granddaughter shouldn't have broken the jade pendant, but the sixth sister should have broken it. If my sister throws something at me, can I gently remove it?"
"Feng Xu didn't." Shen Fengxu shook his head, "It's just that the fourth sister admitted her mistake. If she had known that the fourth sister cared so much about this matter, Feng Xu should have gone to the fourth sister to apologize."
The old lady stared at Shen Yuxiang and asked: "Since you said that Feng Xu broke your things, can you tell me when it happened?"
"The day before yesterday, my granddaughter's hairpin was lost and stolen by Sixth Sister. My granddaughter wanted to look for it, but Sixth Sister actually broke the hairpin." Thinking of this, Shen Yuxiang still gritted her teeth.
"That's not true." Dan Sha raised her voice, "We girls don't know how to steal. It's obviously——"
"Cinsha!" Chen Fengxu called out in a low voice, and then Cinsha stopped talking.
The old lady looked at Cinsha: "Say."
"The broken hairpin belongs to our girl, but it is somewhat similar to the fourth girl's. The fourth girl thought that the broken hairpin was her hairpin. How can this be true? If you lose your own things, how can you give them to others? Are you going to look for it at home?" Dansha snorted coldly.
Shen Yuxiang was about to open her mouth to argue, but the old lady had already said coldly: "You mistook Feng Xu's things and blamed Feng Xu. Today you even broke her jade pendant, and you have no intention of repenting at all."
"I..." Shen Yuxiang's face turned red anxiously, "My granddaughter didn't..."
The old lady did not allow Shen Yuxiang to argue: "You should copy the women's precepts and women's virtues twenty times each, and stay in jail for two months. Think about your mistakes at home, and don't go out to embarrass yourself."
Shen Yuxiang had no choice. If she continued to argue, she was afraid that she would make the old lady even more angry. She had no choice but to lower her head and responded reluctantly: "Yes, my granddaughter must think about it carefully."
…
After leaving Yunsongyuan, Shen Yuxiang looked at Chen Fengxu with an angry face and sharp eyes: "You are really a good calculator!"
Chen Fengxu laughed and asked gently: "Did I instruct the fourth sister to throw the jade pendant? If the fourth sister didn't have evil intentions, how could she be punished by her grandmother?"
"Just wait!" Shen Yuxiang said coldly and walked away.
Shen Fengxu still smiled: "Fourth sister, walk slowly."
Shortly after returning to Rongxueyuan, Shen Baitang had finished school.
Although Shen Baitang lives in Qingxue Academy, she spends most of her time with Shen Fengxu. When she was not enrolled in school, Shen Fengxu was with her all day long, inseparable. Now, although she has entered the academy, she is still with Shen Fengxu in the morning and evening. All together with Shen Fengxu.
At this time, the two of them were having dinner together.
When Shen Baitang heard what happened today, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Feng Xu has grown up too."
"You can't have the second sister to protect me every day." Shen Fengxu showed a smile, "If the second sister gets married one day, you can't take me with you, right?"
Shen Baitang is already fifteen years old, and he should have reached the age to talk about marriage. However, in Daluo, the age of marriage is always late, and there are many people who get married at the age of eighteen or nineteen.
Hearing this, she spat: "What are you talking about at such a young age? My eldest sister is not married yet, when will it be my turn?"
"It's almost time." Shen Fengxu leaned close to Shen Baitang's ear and asked quietly, "Second sister is often outside the house, is there someone you like? I wonder which young talent it is?"
"You little girl, why don't you go and eat your food!"
