"You accuse me, what qualifications do you have to accuse me?"
Wang Koushi stared at Kou Ji and asked arrogantly.
Kou Ji frowned and was too lazy to argue with her. He turned to Kou Zhong and ordered: "Grandpa has fainted. My aunt is too sad and her speech is incoherent. You can take my aunt down to rest."
As soon as Kou Ji said these words, Kou Zhong was stunned, and Wang Kou and Wang Yuan were also stunned.
Kou Ji glared at Kou Zhong who was in a daze. Kou Zhong came to his senses and nodded quickly: "Old servant, I will take the young lady down to rest now..."
Wang Kou and Wang Yuan also came to their senses at this time.
Wang Koushi stared at Kou Ji with disbelief and screamed: "You drive me away? How dare you drive me away?"
Wang Yuan yelled at the side, "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to drive us away? I have been in Bianjing for so many years, and I have never heard of an outsider running into the master's house and driving him out of the house."
Kou Ji ignored Wang Yuan, but looked at Wang Kou and said in a deep voice: "Auntie thinks so too?"
Wang Kou said angrily: "What else? You are not an outsider, am I an outsider?"
Kou Ji slowly straightened up, stared at Mrs. Wang Kou, and said calmly: "There are many people inside and outside the house. I don't want people to laugh at me, so I give in to you everywhere. I treat you as an elder and a member of my family, and I give in to you everywhere."
Since you treat me as an outsider, there is no need for me to be polite to you."
"Kou Zhong!"
"The old servant is here!"
"Please ask this Mrs. Wang and this young man from the royal palace to go out."
When Wang Kou heard this, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Wang Yuan hurriedly shouted: "You! How dare you!"
Kou Ji's face was slightly cold, he stared at their mother and son, and said in a deep voice: "What can I not dare to do? I am the eldest grandson of the Kou Mansion, my name is listed in the genealogy, and the Kaifeng Mansion also has a household registration document to prove it.
My grandfather has fainted and my father cannot come out, so I will be the biggest in the Kou family."
When Wang Kou heard what Kou Ji said, she sobered up a lot.
She also realized she had said something stupid.
She couldn't get Kouji out of the house, nor was she qualified.
If you want to expel Kou Ji from the house, you must first check Kou Ji's name in the family tree.
Without Kou Zhun nodding, who would dare?
According to the clan etiquette, not only was she not qualified to expel Kou Ji from the mansion, but Kou Ji was qualified to expel her from the mansion, so that from now on, she would not be able to claim herself as the eldest daughter of the Kou mansion.
Wang Kou knew that she had said something wrong, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake.
When the matter got to this level, it was impossible for her to bow her head to Kou Ji.
She could only stare at Kou Ji without saying a word.
Wang Yuan didn't understand the importance of it. He pinched his neck and shouted: "You are not born to my grandfather..."
Kou Ji sneered and said: "Childish! Ridiculous! I, the eldest grandson of the Kou family, are recognized by the clan etiquette and the clan etiquette is recognized by the imperial court. It has nothing to do with whether we are biological or not.
Fortunately, you are still a scholar, and you don’t even know the clan etiquette, which is simply ridiculous.”
Kou Ji glanced at Wang Kou and Wang Yuan, and said coldly: "You still want to expel me from the house? I don't want to see if you have the qualifications."
"Kou Zhong? Why don't you invite these two out yet?"
Kou Ji shouted.
Kou Zhong immediately stepped forward and made an invitation gesture to Wang Kou and Wang Yuan, "You two, please go to the guest room and rest..."
"roll!"
Wang Yuan couldn't argue with Kou Ji, so he took out his anger on Kou Zhong. He raised his foot and kicked Kou Zhong.
Kou Zhong stumbled and fell to the ground.
Wang Shu happened to walk into the bedroom at this time and was stunned when he saw this scene.
"What are you doing? What's going on?"
When Wang Kou and Wang Yuan saw Wang Shu, they rushed towards him as if they had seen a savior.
"Ms. sir, this little beast bullies me and wants to drive me out. This is the Kou Mansion, my natal family, and he actually wants to drive me out of my natal family."
Wang Kou rushed to Wang Shu and cried. She knew she was in the wrong, so she cleverly hid her wrong words and only said that Kou Ji was wrong.
Wang Yuan said with added jealousy: "Yes, yes, dad, not only does he want to drive away my mother, he also wants to drive away the child. He also said that he is the biggest in this bandit's house."
When Wang Shu heard this, he frowned, looked at Kou Ji with an unhappy look, and asked, "What's going on?"
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "My grandfather fainted and needed to rest. After my aunt and cousin came in, they spoke a little too loudly, which hindered my grandfather's rest. I tried to persuade him, but my aunt didn't listen. She scolded me for not taking care of my grandfather well and wanted to expel me.
It was my fault that I failed to take good care of my grandfather when I left the house. I failed to fulfill my filial duty..."
In one sentence, Kou Ji clearly pointed out the cause and effect.
Kou Ji's words were also clever. He only talked about his own mistakes and did not mention the domineering behavior of Wang Kou and Wang Yuan.
One after another, the two people talked and made judgments.
Wang Shu has been an official for many years and has rich experience. Through the words of the two people, he has almost judged who is right and who is wrong.
His brows furrowed even more tightly, and the displeasure on his face was not concealed, but his displeasure was no longer directed at Kou Ji, but at Wang Kou and Wang Yuan.
He stared at his wife and son and asked, "Is that so?"
Mrs. Wang Kou gritted her teeth and looked aggrieved, but said nothing.
Wang Shu's face darkened when he saw this.
It wasn't that Wang Kou was unwilling to defend herself, but that there were outsiders present in this bedroom, and she could find out the truth with just a few questions. No matter how she tried to defend herself, she couldn't hide it from Wang Shu, so she simply said nothing.
explain.
On the other hand, Wang Yuan, relying on the support of others, shouted: "Dad, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Wang Shu glared at Wang Yuan and shouted: "Shut up!"
Wang Yuan was startled and quickly shut up.
Wang Shu glared at Wang Kou and said in a deep voice: "Go and wait outside first..."
Wang Kou opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but when she saw Wang Shu's unquestionable eyes, she immediately backed down.
She no longer looked as arrogant as before and quietly exited the bedroom.
Wang Yuan was a little unhappy. He glared at Wang Shu and complained loudly: "Dad, why are you facing an outsider?"
"Snapped!"
Wang Shu was not polite to Wang Yuan at all.
He came up with a big mouth, and the beating made Wang Yuan dizzy.
Before Wang Yuan could recover, he heard Wang Shu yelling, "An outsider? Who is an outsider? This is the Kou Mansion, not the Prince's Mansion. What qualifications do you have to behave here?"
Get out!"
Under Wang Shu's scolding, Wang Yuan covered his face and ran out of the bedroom in despair.
After Wang Yuan left, Wang Shu bowed his hand to Kou Ji and said, "Your cousin is young, ignorant, and talks nonsense, so don't take it to heart. Your aunt talks nonsense and likes to talk nonsense when she is anxious. Don't take it to heart either."
Keep it in mind.
I am here to apologize to you on their behalf."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said, "Uncle, you're welcome... It's true that my grandfather fainted because I didn't take care of him well and didn't fulfill his due filial piety. It's appropriate for my aunt to say one or two words of complaint."
When Wang Shu heard this, he nodded slowly.
Unwilling to continue with this unpleasant topic, he changed the topic and asked, "How is your grandfather doing?"
Kou Ji glanced back at Kou Zhun who was lying on the bed, and sighed: "I'm not awake yet..."
Wang Shu sighed and said: "Officials from all the government offices are here, and they are all waiting in the house. They are clamoring to see your grandfather. If your grandfather doesn't wake up, I won't be able to cope with it."
Kou Ji cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, uncle, I'm taking care of you outside. Grandpa is awake. I'll let someone know you immediately."
Wang Shu nodded helplessly and said, "Then you keep an eye on it from here, and I'll go outside and take care of you."
Kou Ji saw Wang Shu off and glanced at Kou Zhong standing at the door.
"Go down and change your clothes... You are the steward of the Kou Mansion. You have two footprints on your body. If someone sees them, you will lose the face of the Kou Mansion."
Kou Zhong bowed and said, "Old servant, I will go and change now..."
Kou Zhong lowered his head and walked out the door.
Kou Ji looked at Kou Zhong's back and suddenly said, "I've wronged you..."
Kou Zhong trembled all over and turned around slowly, with an ugly smile on his face.
