Chapter 20

Chun Yu was not to mention how curious she was, but she didn't dare to ask. Fortunately, after a while, the Cheng family came over.

"I heard that my aunt called me."

The woman from the Cheng family is about 40 years old, with a round face, she looks kind, but the two eyebrows are deliberately drawn up and pointed, as if to tell others: I am not easy to mess with.

"You should know what happened in the madam's backyard."

Xin Nian looked at the teacup in her hand, without raising her head, she put up her master's airs deliberately: Now she is no longer the waste who was left out in Qingliang Pavilion, these servants who deliberately stepped on and trampled her, naturally she doesn't need to be polite, Otherwise, these little people will look down on her, thinking that she is still weak and bully.

The women of the Cheng family have face in the palace, and they have never been treated like this by any aunt. It's just that this matter is clearly at their own fault, and it would be best if they don't get involved, so they don't dare to make a fuss at this time.

Yin lowered his head and curled his lips, and then said with a flattering smile: "Yes, I have heard about it, but it has nothing to do with my servant, my servant..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Xin Nian suddenly raised her eyes and looked over. Those beautiful red phoenix eyes were like two sharp knives piercing into her heart.

"I'm not a patient person. You should think about it carefully."

Xin Nian looked at the Cheng family, and asked word by word in a deep voice: "I ask you, is the matter of Madam's backyard really irrelevant to you?"

"Auntie Mingjian, although I am in charge of the backyard, this matter really has nothing to do with me. How dare I murder Madam?"

Being looked at and questioned by Xin Nian like this, the Cheng family felt a little fear in their hearts, and quickly defended themselves loudly.

Xin Nian said coldly: "You don't dare to murder Madam, but your prestige is not small. I heard that the sweeping women in Madam's courtyard are under your control, and they dare not go to the backyard at all, otherwise they will be killed." Is it true that you imposed a crime and said that they deliberately made troubles and harmed your flowers and plants?"

"I... I didn't say that, I just... I was worried about those good things in the backyard, and they were not careful. This... It's just like the saying that if you don't manage your family, you don't know how expensive it is. Those of us who are in charge look a bit glamorous, but in fact It's not easy either."

Xin Nian put the teacup on the table, made a "dang" sound, and said impatiently: "Cheng family, you don't have to argue with me about this. Since you are solely responsible for the backyard, if something like this happens, you I can't run..."

The Cheng family was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat on the ground, patted the ground and cried, "Auntie, you can't wrong me, this matter really has nothing to do with the old slave!"

"presumptuous!"

Xin Nian saw that the Cheng family was about to lose face and rolled around, and immediately became angry, and said sharply: "You don't even look, this is the place where you play wild? You are such a carefree woman, you don't care about face. Why should I be scruples? You just go out and kneel under the sun for me, and when you think about it, talk back."

"Auntie, you...how can you treat me like this? I'm an old man in the mansion. I used to serve in the princess' courtyard. You...you can't treat me like this."

The Cheng family was stunned. They never expected Xin Nian to be so wild. If she was dragged out and knelt for a long time, would she still have this old face?
"If you have served in the concubine's courtyard, you are qualified to be a slave? If you are not convinced, wait for the master to come back and sue me in front of him."

Xin Nian remained motionless, with a stern and selfless look.Chun Yu shouted from the side: "What are you still doing? Didn't you hear what my aunt said? Drag it out."

The two women on standby outside the door trembled tremblingly, hurried in and dragged the Cheng family out, and held her to kneel under the sun.

Chunyu saw mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law poking their heads at the gate, feeling a little uneasy, and asked Xin Nian softly, "Auntie, would it be too...reckless to take the Cheng family's knife when you come up? Her man is the godson of the chief manager, and she Served in the Queen's Court..."

"Catch the thief first and capture the king. If you don't take down the Cheng family, how can you punish the others? It's just that you have served in the princess's courtyard for a few years, and you have never served the princess personally. Do you really think you can be domineering?"

"But... if she goes to report to the princess, the princess is already annoyed by my aunt, if she reprimands the master with this excuse..."

Xin Nian smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "If your master is willing to be punished for this kind of thing, it is his filial piety, he has no face to come to me to vent his anger, if he is such a fool, he will not hand over this matter to me." Give me."

"Yes."

Seeing Xin Nian's confident appearance, Chun Yu felt a little relieved when she thought that when this aunt was a girl at home, the whole general's mansion was submissive.

"Here are some new bolts of satin I got today. I think the color is bright and the texture is not bad, so I ask you to come and pick two."

Concubine Liao pointed to the pile of fabrics on the table, and looked at Liao Shi with a smile: "Changting handed over his wife's matter to Xin Shi, are you still not at ease?"

"That's not true. I know what my cousin thinks, so I should avoid suspicion."

Liao shook her head and gave a bitter smile, then frowned and said, "I just heard that Aunt Xin made a big fuss over this matter, and I feel something is wrong."

"Oh?"

Concubine Liao remained calm, and picked up a teacup: "I've been worshiping Buddha in the Small Buddha Hall all day today, and I still don't know what's going on in the yard. What has Mrs. Xin been doing?"

"I heard that she drove the Cheng family to kneel in the yard, and then implicated many wives and wives, even those who cleaned the garden. I heard people whispering that she didn't want to investigate poisonous snakes." , but to use this as an excuse to punish those who spoke contemptuously to her in the past."

Seeing Princess Liao's eyelids twitch a few times after speaking, Mrs. Liao hurriedly said again: "Speaking of which, I also know that the servants chew their tongues behind their backs. They are just high-ranking families, and they are like this in every backyard. My housekeeper I don’t know how many times I’ve been blamed in secret. If it’s really for finding out the truth, then I don’t say anything. If it’s just for revenge, I don’t think there’s really any need to disturb the family.”

Concubine Liao really frowned. After taking a sip of tea, she said slowly: "Is it really such a big mess? What do people in the house say?"

"I also heard the girls mention it, but I didn't pay attention to it."

Mrs. Liao picked up an orange from the table and slowly peeled it, muttering: "It is said that [-] or [-] people were involved this day. It's just that the poisonous snake was not found. People should also ask people. Everyone is not happy, but not at all. Don't worry, it's just from the Cheng family... After all, I used to stay in my aunt's yard, and although I didn't serve you personally, at least I have some face..."

Before finishing speaking, Princess Liao said in displeasure: "Sure enough, she is the daughter of Wu Fu's family. She acts recklessly and will take revenge. I really don't know what your master likes about her. If you insist on handing over this matter to her, I will tell her. Can't manage it well. Look, what has happened in just one day?"
