Chapter Nine
Seeing that the hot water was about to be on the face of the old lady, everyone was shocked, but a white shirt flashed in front of them, and the fifth girl was blocking the old lady.
The hot water poured on her arm in half a moment. When she lifted her sleeve, she saw that her arms were red and swollen.
The old lady cursed at Wan Niang, "Okay, you damn girl, you can't even make a cup of tea. What else can you do? Do you dislike me and want to burn me to death?"
The incident happened suddenly, and Wanniang unexpectedly. She was the legitimate daughter and was very favored since childhood, so she had never been scolded.
His eyes were red and he cried aggrievedly, "I didn't mean it, you can't blame me either."
"I don't blame you for whom? You brought that tea. Can you blame others? Or do you want to blame me, an old woman, for making trouble. What kind of water should I drink? I deserve it if you are hot!" Both Hua Jintang brothers are extremely filial and have never talked to the old lady. Now Wan Niang talks back, the old lady is even more angry.
Jiao Niang endured the pain and pleaded for Wan Niang: "Grandmother, don't blame the second sister anymore. My mother has always been fond of her second sister. She has never done this before, so she must have been careless."
One sentence reminded the old lady, "Call her mother to me, let her see what she raises, and ask her how she is a mother. She is a good daughter's house and has become a vicious thing."
Ji's journey was fast, and he arrived in a while. Hua Jintang also heard the letter and followed him from the study.
When he arrived, the old lady was scolding Ji, "You look at me without eyes or ears. How do you dominate your mother in the mansion? She will beat or scold the slaves if they are not satisfied. Even a few sisters are angry with her everywhere. They will indulge their legitimate descendants and are harsh and illegitimate descendants. Are you worthy of being the mistress?"
Hua Jintang made a reservation outside the door, and came into the room, and after saluting the old lady, he coaxed her a few nice words. The old lady calmed down. He looked at the girl's injuries again, without even a single look on Ji.
The old lady's face cleared a little, she looked at Hua Jintang and said, "I really can see what my biological son is. You, Ji, have not even asked about the beautiful lady since you came in."
Ji showed embarrassment, and then walked to Jiao Niang to ask her about her injuries. Jiao Niang only said that she had nothing to do and forced herself to comfort her as if she didn't feel any pain. She felt even more pity in the eyes of others.
The old lady looked soft and couldn't help but complain again. Baekwanniang felt wronged and started crying. This made the old lady even more upset, "I cry, I know how to cry. I haven't died yet. How could you die in your life? Look at your sister, she was so scalded that she didn't even shed a single tear. Why are you crying there?"
Wan Niang wiped her tears and said unconvincedly: "I feel wronged and can't cry? I didn't mean it. Why are you so unyielding? You are the grandmother, so you have to be reasonable."
Hua Jintang looked over and shouted: "Wan Niang!"
The old lady laughed instead of anger, looked at Hua Jintang and pointed at Wanniang, sneering: "Look, this is the legitimate girl, she has no education at all, and she can even pick out the mistake of being a grandmother."
"I can't stay anymore, I'll leave, I'll leave." He got off the kang and was about to leave. Hua Jintang, and Ji and his friends rushed to persuade her. Ji scolded Wan Niang to apologize to the old lady.
Wan Niang repaid her respects, but she still looked dissatisfied. The old lady was angry and angry at Ji, "If you are dissatisfied with me, just tell me directly. I will pack up my parcel and return to Licheng now, so that I can avoid this hindering your eyes."
Hua Jintang hurriedly knelt down, "My mother said this, she didn't want to ruin her son. This is your home, so there is no annoying thing. It's all the son's fault. She didn't manage the housework well and did not discipline her children well, which made her angry."
Others also knelt down.
The old lady was just looking for Ji's mother and daughter, and asked someone to help Hua Jintang up, "Where should you, a big man, get involved in the affairs of the Houya?"
The implication is that Ji's dereliction of duty.
Ji raised his skirt and leaned on the ground, "It's all the fault of his daughter-in-law. In the future, he will definitely discipline Wanniang more. I hope that his mother will not get angry anymore, so as not to hurt her body. The daughter-in-law is really unforgivable."
The old lady glanced at Wan Niang and said, "I should learn some lesson from being so arrogant and domineering. Let her kneel down in the ancestral hall and reflect on it."
Wan Niang was so angry that she opened her mouth and was about to fight back. Ji gave her a wink, and there was another cold look from Hua Jintang, which made her bow down.
Ji took Wan Niang back first, and the others coaxed the old lady to talk. When she was in a smooth mood, they all left one after another. Hua Jintang still had to accompany her, but was driven away by the old lady, so only the beautiful lady stayed for a while.
Although the old lady did not show much care, the sweet girl could see that she was moved after all because of this cup of tea.
When I left, it was the old lady's personal nanny, Madam Mao, who was personally sent to the outside of the yard. "Thanks to the fifth girl today, I just made you suffer."
Mama's family has been working for the Hua family since their old master. They are the servants of the Hua family. Her son Maochun is the housekeeper of the mansion. She serves the old lady and is extremely decent in the Hua family. It can be said that everyone respects it.
The girl smiled and said, "I'm fine, fortunately I didn't hurt my grandmother." She said with concern: "Grandmother must have been frightened today. Don't forget to give her grandmother a bowl of calming soup later."
Madam Mao's eyes emitted a light of praise and said, "Miss Five is as meticulous as silk, and extremely filial."
The girl said modestly: "Mum said wisely, as a junior, it is natural to care for the elders and is worthy of praise."
Mama Mao also watched these children grow up, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was half a grandmother. She stroked the beautiful lady's shoulder and showed a sad look, "Miss Five is such a good child. Your aunt has raised you very well."
She looked at the girl in plain clothes and couldn't help but think of her third aunt, sighed and said heartily: "Hey, your aunt is not lucky. She is a lady from a wealthy family, and has been displaced. She finally stayed with your father and left early, which makes you pity."
Jiao Niang heard her aunt tell her story. She was originally the daughter of the prime minister of the previous emperor. She was born with a noble family and had a prominent family background. However, due to the royal coup, she was convicted of her family and was exiled to another country.
The aunt and her father were childhood sweethearts since childhood. They were in love with each other and were about to get engaged, but they encountered great changes. The lovers and heaven were separated. The father had always inquired about the aunt, but there was no trace. A few years later, he went to another place to do a job. The two met accidentally and then made another relationship.
The sweet girl burst into tears and lowered her eyes and said, "When my aunt was dying, she told me to take good care of Brother An and be filial to her elders. I can't do anything for her anymore, just remember her last words."
"A young man is so young..." Mao's mother was sad and held her hand again and said, "Take the young man over here and walk around if you have nothing to do. The old lady actually likes the fun of children."
