Mother and daughter went to Ning'an Hall together.
Inside there was Luo Jinzhong, who had a straight face, Luo Jinhui, who was wiping away tears, and He Lingyao, who had red eyes and was trying to please the old lady by beating her shoulders.
As soon as the mother and daughter entered the shop, they almost covered their noses due to the resentful atmosphere in the room.
What a mess!
"Ms. Gu, tell me, what happened when I went to the palace this time? How did one fall into the water and the other was ostracized by the girls? How do you behave as an elder? How can you just watch the juniors suffer injustice."
The old lady was the first to attack. The corners of her eyes were drooped, and the corners of her mouth were pursed at a mean angle, making her nasolabial folds even deeper. Even her rich outfit could not suppress her acrimonious aura.
"Sister-in-law, I only have a daughter who is perfectly fine. How could she fall into the water? My daughter's body is very fragile. If this is the root of the disease, what will Ming Wu do in the future?" Luo Jinzhong said heartbrokenly.
.In his eyes was dissatisfaction and resentment towards the Duke’s wife.
He hated his daughter when he thought of his pale face lying on the bed. He thought that when he went to the palace this time, his daughter's appearance would definitely be no worse than Luo Jingyao's. Thinking about the beautiful life in the future, she would be able to surpass the Duke.
He was so happy, but he didn't expect that his daughter would come back like this, and he didn't know what happened?
The Duke's wife looked at Luo Jinhui, who had been crying and wiping away her tears.
"What about you? Do you have anything to say?" Otherwise, why would you be so desperate? She hates people who "shed tears before they say anything" the most.
Luo Jinhui was stunned. She did not expect that the Duke's wife would ask such a question.
"Sister-in-law, I don't mean anything else. I just can't help it. Wuwu... Don't be offended. I just feel uncomfortable when I think of Yao'er being treated like this. Sister-in-law, don't think too much. You should understand the heart of a mother.
Woohoo..."
Luo Jinhui covered her lips and cried again.
The Duke's wife secretly cursed the bad luck.
"Answer my question, why did you bully Jinhui?" The old lady couldn't help it when she saw her daughter crying. She patted her daughter's back distressedly and looked at the Duke's wife with deep eyes and a hateful tone.
"Didn't I ask you to tell the problem all at once, so as not to worry too much, which would be more than worth the loss." The Duke's wife's words made the old ladies very angry. Didn't this mean that Luo Jinhui was thinking?
Deep?
"Don't say there are some, but if there are, how do you take care of them in the palace?" It's like a cockroach that cannot be beaten to death.
"Looking at what the old lady asked, the lady had good intentions in letting the ladies go and play by themselves. She kept us ladies by her side to keep her company. I can't help but refuse my lady's kindness and let them accompany me.
Why don't I, Madam, take them with me? Neither of these two methods will work. I don't have the magic of cloning or clairvoyance, so I can still see what happened to them?" The Duke's wife is so troubled by the old lady's nonsense.
It's really annoying.
"You, just be sophistical." The old lady did not dare to say that the Queen was at fault, so she could only catch the Duke's wife to talk about it, but the Duke's wife was not someone who could be manipulated, so she was choked back.
"This is the truth. If the old lady does not believe me, then I will send a post to the queen to explain the matter and see if the queen can explain it to the old lady herself." It depends on whether the old lady has the good voice to wait for the queen.
Angry.
"You are so presumptuous that you don't think the Duke's government is good. You are trying to bring injustice to the whole family." The old lady trembled angrily.
Every time it happens, every time it happens, the sharp tongue is annoying.
"Isn't this a question that the old lady asked me? I really have no way to answer it for you, so why don't I have to ask the host of the banquet?" Madam Guogong said calmly and calmly.
The old lady gritted her teeth! She was sure that if Luo Jingyao was ostracized by everyone today, Mrs. Gu would definitely make up for it later. But for others, it just depends on whether Mrs. Gu is happy or not. And He Lingyao is the one that Mrs. Gu is not happy with.
As soon as Mrs. Guo's words came out, Luo Jinzhong had no way to ask Mrs. Guo why his daughter slipped and fell into the water. After all, they just said that the queen asked the girls to play by themselves. If anything happens, stay here.
The Duke's wife next to the empress will definitely not know, and there is no point in messing around.
It’s just! If there are benefits to taking it, he doesn’t mind taking it.
"As an elder, you are also responsible for not taking good care of them. Since you are not around, Luo Jingyao, you are always here. How can you join other girls to exclude your cousin? You can't tell the difference between the inside and the outside.
Are you done?" The old lady aimed her guns at Luo Jingyao.
"Does this matter have anything to do with me?" Luo Jingyao pretended not to know, a look of confusion flashed across her face, and she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
"Why does it have nothing to do with you? If you hadn't said something in a measured way, would other people have misunderstood and pointed at your cousin?" The more the old lady said, the more likely it became that it was possible, her eyes immediately darkened, and her face
Luo Jingyao felt like her wrinkles were about to fall to the ground.
"Isn't the old lady talking about the girls saying that my cousin has betrayed her family and forgotten her ancestors?" Luo Jingyao asked as if she suddenly realized.
"What are you talking about?" What do you mean by betraying your ancestors? You really don't know what to say. If you talk without restraint, sooner or later, disaster will come from your mouth and you will die without a place to bury you.
"But old lady, it was my cousin who started this matter! Sister Yue of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and I hit it off right away..."
"Then what does this matter have to do with you ostracizing your cousin? What I'm asking you is why you teamed up with others to ostracize your cousin and tarnish her reputation, not who you fell in love with at first sight?"
The old lady interrupted Luo Jingyao impatiently.
After hearing this, He Lingyao crawled into Luo Jinhui's arms and cried so hard that she couldn't help herself. Her ears were perked as she listened to the old lady scolding Luo Jingyao. The corners of her lips that were blocked were raised high, and there was a flash of schadenfreude in her eyes.
Luo Jingyao's eyes widened: "But this is just the same thing. If my cousin hadn't rushed to agree when other girls called me Yao'er, then there wouldn't have been anything like this later. The old lady was in such a hurry.
Question me, but my cousin said something specious to the old lady again! In fact, if there is anything my cousin wants to express, it is easier for you to say it directly than to beat around the bush. If you bring this matter to the old lady, you want to express it.
It’s difficult for me to make the decision for you, but this matter shouldn’t be my fault. Why do you want to question me? Is it because you are favored and I am worthless in the old lady? You can’t do it because of me.
If you are too patient, you have to go even further!"
Luo Jingyao said in a disappointed and shocked tone, lowering her head and feeling sad secretly, her whole body was surrounded by a sad aura.
"My cousin's words are specious, so you can't blame others for being curious and scratching out the cocoons. Nothing has happened, but my cousin has made it clear that she is trying to pull others down. No one is stupid." Everyone's eyes were sharp, but they found out from it.
Are you aware of He Lingyao’s duplicity?
"I have said before, this name..." The old lady also wanted to denounce Luo Jingyao at length in order to avenge her granddaughter.
But he was interrupted by the Duke's wife, who had always cared for her daughter.
"Have you said that? Old madam, did you say that my wife agreed? You wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and were exposed, and you were wronged?" The Duke's wife was so angry that she slapped the table and stood up.
"Since staying in the Duke's Mansion is so uncomfortable and aggrieved, then go back to your own home. It's not like you don't have your own home."
If the old lady and the others were furious when the Duke's wife said these words, then when the Duke of Guo strode from outside and said these words, everyone was shocked and panicked.
In particular, the moaning of Luo Jinhui and He Lingyao, mother and daughter, suddenly stopped as if their mouths were being sawed.
"I think this delicious food and good service only makes you resentful. Since it's uncomfortable to live here and there are so many people bullying you, you should go back to your own home. After all, your home is different from other people's homes.
That's different. It's impossible for someone else to be the master of the family." Duke Guo looked at Luo Jinhui and He Lingyao with majestic and sharp eyes.
As for the old lady and Luo Jinzhong, he ignored them.
"Boss, do you know what you are talking about?" The old lady couldn't believe that the Duke would ignore her as an elder and directly want to drive the girl and niece out. Did he know how degrading it would be to do so? He didn't want to
Do you want your daughter and granddaughter to be kicked out of the house to save your face?
"How can I not know what my father-in-law said? My father-in-law is not an old fool anymore. This married daughter has been living in her parents' home with her children for ten years, and the food and clothing expenses are the same as if she were a legitimate daughter.
Unexpectedly, this made you even more dissatisfied and made you complain."
"Boss, I said no. Jin Hui and Yao'er are the ones I can't bear to let go, not that they can't bear to let go of everything in the Duke's Mansion. You said it wrong." You said it with a villain's heart, as if everyone could see it.
It's as if it's something he has.
Her daughter and granddaughter had always been reluctant to part with her just to be filial to her, not because they were reluctant to part with the Duke's mansion.
"Oh, so this is what the old lady thinks? Madam opened the treasury and reconciled the accounts..." He wanted to see how noble and noble the mother and daughter regarded money as dirt.
"Boss, what do you mean? You are unfilial and want to force me to die! You clearly know that I can't bear to leave your sister and my daughter, but you want to drive them away because of a small conflict. You are too cold-blooded
Come on." Seeing the ugly expression on the Duke's face and his unwillingness to refuse, the old lady wanted to soften her tone, but she was obviously used to being strong, and she didn't succeed in changing her tone, which made her look nondescript.
Not to mention that the old lady was embarrassed herself, others were also embarrassed, and Luo Jingyao almost wanted to laugh.
He looked at each other and hid behind his brothers, fearing that the old lady would get angry if she saw her, which would upset her mother.
"Old madam, how can this be a small conflict? That's not what you thought just now, otherwise you wouldn't have scolded Yao'er again and again. On the contrary, my father-in-law never said that he wanted to force the old madam. It was the old madam who
They keep forcing us." The Duke felt gritted teeth.
"Cousin, you are so reasonable. When you saw the old lady and my father, because you had such a quarrel, shouldn't you have hurried back to your own home to calm down the turmoil? Why did you hide behind and say nothing?
?" Luo Jingyao's words were really half clear and half dark. He Lingyao wanted to pretend not to understand, but he couldn't do it. He loved to scold Luo Jingyao for being insidious.
Luo Jingkong and others also looked at He Lingyao. They wanted to see if their reasonable, filial and well-behaved cousin would be willing to go to the Duke's mansion for wealth? Their father had told them before that although they lived in
They are together, but they are separated in the public account. Now everything they get from their hard work belongs to each of them.
But as I said, the property in the public house is only divided into half for each person in the first and second rooms, but it has not been separated for the time being, and is still kept in the same warehouse.
At the request of their grandfather, until the old woman passed away, everything in the public warehouse could only be accessed, but could not be directly divided in half.
What if the old lady misappropriated all the things in the Duke's palace before she passed away? Didn't she see that the married aunt and their cousin lived in the Duke's mansion for more than ten years and lived a luxurious life?
Days? Head and facial jewelry and other items are sometimes even more gorgeous and expensive than her cousin Luo Mingwu.
They just didn't say it, not because they couldn't understand. The old lady was so arrogant that she really wanted to take off the roof of her big house to save more for her own children.
"Shut up, the elders are talking, how can you speak?" The old lady glared at Luo Jingyao in disgust.
"But isn't my cousin filial? What she did today has dragged the old ladies of both families into rumors. Old lady, you can bear it, but I don't know if the old lady of the He family can swallow this.
I was so angry that my granddaughter stabbed me in the back."
As soon as Luo Jingyao said these words, He Lingyao stiffened, and Luo Jinhui looked at her daughter in confusion.
Did she really say something she shouldn't have said? She didn't want to go back to He's Mansion, nor did she want to face the old godly woman and the duplicitous sister-in-law.
And my husband!
Regardless of his mother's obstruction, he insisted on taking a concubine to give him a son. Just because she did not give him a son to carry on the family line, he could take a concubine. No matter how many sons he had, there would be no way her daughter could do it.
Luo Jinhui thought about it and looked at her daughter. The more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
"What's going on? Tell me." The old lady gasped, her eyes could not kill people, otherwise, Luo Jingyao would have been cut to pieces by the old lady's eyes.
"Then let me tell you, the old lady can't scold me for no reason again. During today's banquet, all the girls saw that my cousin was all dressed in top-notch clothes, so they asked whether the clothes were made by you or the He family?
The cousin said that it was because the old lady was pitying her. Instead, the girls guessed that the He family was too poor to take the blame? Or they were not satisfied with their cousin for a long time, so they refused to give her money, or they were shameless and used the money from the Duke's government to support them.
They congratulated the family... Just like that, the rumors spread. When the old lady of the He family heard about it, she didn't think that her cousin was a white-eyed wolf and didn't understand filial piety. Then they would definitely guess who was behind her cousin. She would definitely be reluctant to blame her own relatives.
My granddaughter is so uneducated, so she must be taken back and kept by her side to teach her well, right?"
