Splendid spring returns

Chapter 21

Mrs. Liao hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't get angry. It's only two or three days. If you have enough trouble, you should stop. Speaking of it, Mrs. Xin is like this. When I was a girl at home, I knew she was a careless person. If you get angry, it doesn't matter who you are? The dignity earned in three or four lifetimes will be torn off for you, even the old man who serves her parents will hardly escape."

"Presumptuous, too presumptuous, I really don't understand the slightest bit of etiquette."

Princess Liao was furious.Seeing that the fire was almost over, Mrs. Liao said hypocritically: "Don't be angry, aunt. This is the first errand that Mrs. Xin has accepted in the mansion. Maybe she wants to do well, so she is a little impatient."

Princess Liao gritted her teeth and patted the table: "You don't have to speak for her, hum! I want to see if she wants to turn the world upside down?"

Coming out of Concubine Liao's courtyard, Liao Shi took a deep breath, raised her head and chest, and walked slowly towards her residence.

Guizhi hugged the two pieces of satin, followed her step by step, and whispered: "Grandma, I always feel that someone is watching us around here."

"It's strange that no one is watching." Liao sneered: "Aunt Xin made such a big commotion, and the whole family complained. It's been a day, do you think they can bear it?"

As soon as the words fell, two women ran out from behind the tree, knelt down in front of her with a "plop", and cried, "Grandma, please do me a favor, tell Aunt Xin to put away her supernatural powers, and let her go again." If this continues, the old slaves will have no way out."

Liao said indifferently: "What's the use of you crying to me? My grandfather appointed Aunt Xin on this matter, and I can't intervene."

After speaking, she wanted to move, but the two wives tightly hugged her legs and refused to let her go. They wiped their eyes and tears and said, "Aunt Xin was neglected in Qingliang Pavilion before, and she just took her anger out on us. , if grandma doesn’t make decisions for us, we really have only a dead end.”

Another woman also said: "Grandma is the most philanthropic person, and she cares most about the reputation of the palace. Is it possible for Aunt Xin to abuse the old man like this? If it spreads out, what will people think of Prince Duan's palace?"

Mrs. Liao glanced at Gui Zhi, Gui Zhi understood, and sneered, "The older you are, the more confused you are. This time, Master clearly wants grandma to avoid suspicion, so why do you drag her into the water? If grandma doesn't want to bear your suffering, why don't you just let her go?" If you intervene, Aunt Xin can't slander her in front of the master? Are you disregarding grandma's life for your own sake?"

The words were a bit heavy, the two women were dumbfounded, and murmured: "Then what should I do? As expected, I can only risk my life and fight Aunt Xin."

Liao said indifferently: "This is even more stupid. Sister Xin has been practicing kung fu since she was a child. If dozens of you are tied together, you may not be able to move a finger of her. In the end, you will die in vain."

After finishing speaking, seeing the women were stunned and let go unknowingly, she walked forward and said leisurely: "I'm just a common wife, and I can't control many things. But I have only been in the mansion for a few years? Are you here?" How long has it been in the mansion? Even if you want to find someone to make the decision, you shouldn't be looking for me."

The two women blinked their eyes, immediately understood, followed her way, and saw that the courtyard of the princess was brightly lit.

Liao's voice could be heard faintly again: "I can't bear it in just one day, and even I can't sympathize. If you want master's compassion, how can you do it if you don't suffer from it?"

The two women looked at each other and stopped crying. Seeing Liao's family going far away, they quickly got up, murmured together for a while, then turned and left.

******************
As night fell, the Prince Duan Mansion was lit up with lights.Gu Changting stood outside the second gate, his face looked a bit tired, at this moment he rubbed his brows, and went to Xin Nian's courtyard.

Just as the dinner was set in Qingliangyuan, Xin Nian watched the two children wash their hands and was about to sit down with them when Gu Changting came in.

"Daddy."

"Daddy."

Liuzai and Yaya rushed forward, each holding Gu Changting's arm, Yaya giggled and said, "It's a coincidence that Daddy is here, we are about to have dinner, and there is such a big plate of braised fish tonight. "

She stretched out her hand to gesture, Gu Changting couldn't help laughing, and scratched lightly on the tip of her nose: "Okay, Dad will also try the braised fish on our table tonight."

After speaking, he came to the table, took a look, was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said: "There is only one plate of fish?"

Xin Nian was puzzled and said, "Isn't there a tofu soup? There are also two side dishes, two dishes of fried vegetables, and one fish. It's enough for us. How many of us are there?"

"That's all?" Gu Changting glanced at her: "Have people in the kitchen always been like this?"

Only then did Xin Nian understand what he meant, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "That's not true, tonight's meal is considered rich, with several dishes. In the past in Qingliang Pavilion, our three mothers only had three bowls of rice, one dish and one soup. Usually, it is rare to see meaty smell."

"Damn things."

Gu Changting cursed.Chun Yu laughed and said: "Actually, after entering the backyard, the dishes on the table are more abundant. If nothing else, there must be some meat. It's a pity, there happened to be a poisonous snake. Today, my aunt is busy chasing down those wives and daughters-in-law. I don’t know which great god I offended again, isn’t that right? Eye drops will be given to us for dinner.”

"So that's why she took care of you this fish tonight?"

Xin Nian nodded: "I think so. I am domineering in the mansion today, and some servants probably want to eat me, but because of this, some people are even more afraid of me, so Du Sanniang gave a plate of fish, No one said anything."

"Yes. Sanniang is not competitive, and she is always kind to others. Even in a place like the kitchen, she is very popular."

Xinghua added from the side, but saw Gu Changting slapping his chopsticks on the table angrily, and said bitterly: "How rampant are these slaves? You still say you are acting like a boss today? I think you are You didn't do anything cruel, otherwise the kitchen would have sent you a table of fish to curry favor with you right now, how dare you be so negligent to this extent? Only a cook can have a plate of fish."

"Okay, just chew your teeth, such a big plate of fish is not enough for us to eat? What kind of meat do you want?"

Xin Nian glared at Chun Yu, only to see her curl her lips and say, "It's just that when I went to the kitchen, Sanniang was kind enough to say that she cooked a big pot of fish today and served us a piece of fish. You may not even see a single fishbone, young master or young lady."

"Who is Sanniang? On weekdays, you guys have a good relationship?"

"No."

Xin Nian picked up two pieces of fish and put them in the bowls of Yaya and Liuzai, and put another piece for Gu Changting, and said, "We used to cook hard in Qingliang Pavilion, and there was a lady named Du Sanniang in the kitchen. Maybe she felt sorry for the child. Well, when Chunyu and Xinghua used to get food, she would often stuff some snacks, and she took care of us, but Liuzai Yaya and I still don’t know what she looks like, and even Chunyu Xinghua never told her a few words."
