Chapter 63 The old lady protects you
  Thinking of the sumptuous dinner she had prepared for Shen Zhuoxi, Yu Qinglian felt unhappy and said falsely: "Second Miss likes big fish and meat. She missed it before, so she made a fuss and prepared a big table again."
  "I heard that I took my servant to the same table, so I reluctantly ate some. It would be troublesome to prepare it. Why don't we wait?"
  "Do you still want to eat?" Shen Heshan threw the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said, "So many things!"
  Yu Qinglian then said angrily: "Then let's eat first. I just think it's a waste to prepare it specially for the second lady."
  "She's not sensible, so you're also fooling around? The Grand Master's Mansion doesn't want this meal?" Shen Heshan took a deep breath and said, "There is always unrest at home!"
  "It's not because of Shen Zhuoxi." Shen Jingya held the bowl and muttered in a low voice: "If you dare to ask Aunt Hua next to your mother to clean the toilet, she will be turned upside down."
  Now that Shen Jingya mentioned this matter again, the old lady didn't want to wait until after the meal to talk about it. She also put the bowls and chopsticks heavily on the table and said, "I have heard about it."
  "Grandma, you have made a statement. Do you want to lock her up and punish her?" Shen Jingya was a little excited.
  She went to complain to the old lady in the afternoon. After hearing this, the old lady only said that she should go back first, without saying anything.
  The old lady looked at her deeply and said, "After you left, I sent people to inquire several times. This matter was all wrong. Zhuo Xi did not cause it alone."
  "Aunt Ju is her maid after all, and she is also the dowry allocated by the Queen Mother to Princess Xiaoqing. Together, you sent people to Bihe Garden to embroider clothes, and you still allowed your maid to insult her."
  "Her status is different, but she is just a maid." Shen Jingya pouted and said angrily: "Is it true that as a eldest lady, my mother can't even use a maid?"
  "It's okay to use my orders. Have you said hello?" The old lady glanced at Yu Qinglian and said with scrutiny: "Isn't it true that Xiu Niang can't be found outside, so it must be Aunt Ju?"
  Yu Qinglian knew that the old lady was suspicious, so she quickly stood up and said aggrievedly: "Mother, do you think I am deliberately making things difficult? You misunderstood. At that time, I thought that Aunt Ju was from the palace and her embroidery skills were first-rate, so I asked her to help me decide. "
  "As for the maid insulting Aunt Ju, that's actually not the case. Aunt Ju is old and has trouble with her hands and feet. Lu Ying and the others just urged her a few times."
  "Yes, grandma." Shen Xinyu also helped, saying, "When my mother sent someone to ask for Aunt Ju, the second sister was asleep. She was worried about disturbing her, so she didn't scream."
  "If she wakes up and loses her temper, her mother will definitely wake her up and tell her clearly."
  "It's not that it's burning." The old lady snorted coldly and pointed her fingers one by one: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. These little tricks can't be hidden from me."
  "If you say you're afraid of disturbing her rest, you can wait until she wakes up. Why do you have to choose that time to take away Aunt Ju? For many years, Aunt Ju has been by her side and she will never leave her. She must care."
  "You guys, you just saw that after Zhuo Xi recovered, he was not as easy to bully as before. He was still covered in thorns and felt uncomfortable. That's why you deliberately found trouble with Aunt Ju and caused trouble for Zhuo Xi."
  The old lady exposed it mercilessly in front of everyone. No one said anything, and they all looked at each other.
  Shen Xin was so charming that the old lady liked her, so she defended herself: "Grandma, that's not the case. Mother was indeed in a hurry and asked Aunt Ju to help."
  The old lady interrupted her and said meaningfully: "Okay, one family at a time, round and flatten Grandma Chrysanthemum, burn it and touch your maid, you come to me to demand justice."
  "What, you can do it but she can't? Have you thought about the consequences of your actions? What if Zhuo Xi gets into trouble in front of the Queen Mother?"
  "Don't forget that I said at the beginning that Aunt Ju was sent by the Queen Mother. This time Zhuo Xi asked Aunt Hua and several others to clean the toilet, which is why she got so angry."
  Yu Qinglian didn't expect the old lady to say that at all.
  You know, the old lady didn't like Shen Zhuoxi before, thinking that her stupidity would affect the reputation of the Taishi Mansion.
  Stunned, Yu Qinglian pursed her lips and whispered: "Mother, I have no other meaning in this matter, but it was my poor thinking that caused the misunderstanding of the second lady."
  "If she thinks she can vent her anger by tossing Nanny Hua and others, then let her go."
  He didn't admit his mistakes either inside or outside the words.
  The old lady heard what she meant, smiled again, and said, "I heard that a few days ago, she asked you to give up your position as eldest lady in public?"
  Yu Qinglian paused and said, "That's what happened. The second lady doesn't understand the rules. I didn't take her words to heart."
  "It would be better if she didn't." The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "She doesn't understand the rules because no one has ever taught her the rules. Princess Xiaoqing died early, and what happened to her happened again."
  "Child, she was taught with care. You only kiss her when you kiss her. Look at Jingya. She has been raised under your knees for many years. She talks to you and speaks to you everywhere. She is even more anxious than your two biological children."
  Yu Qinglian didn't know whether the old lady's words were just admonitions, or whether they had some connotations, so she nodded and said, "Yes."
  "Let's eat." The old lady picked up the bowls and chopsticks again and added: "Princess Xiaoqing's dowry accounts have been sorted out and handed over to me tomorrow."
  The old lady was protecting Shen Zhuoxi, but she didn't really like her that much, not only because of the Queen Mother and King Yu, but also because the account book had not been cleared up yet, and moreover, she had some intention of beating Yu Qinglian.
  Shen Zhuoxi just came back from outside and happened to meet them finishing their meal.
  "Second Miss is back?" Yu Qinglian said with a bit of flattery: "Have you eaten?"
  "Eat at the Youxiang Mansion." Shen Zhuoxi picked out a small brocade box from the thank you gift given by Zhang Yanting, handed it to the old lady and said, "This is what Mrs. Youxiang asked me to bring to you."
  Aunt Yuan took the brocade box, opened it, took a look at it, and happily handed it to the old lady and said: "The white jade plaque with the Heart Sutra engraved on it."
  "Why did she give me this for no reason?" the old lady asked, looking at the large and small boxes behind Shen Zhuoxi suspiciously.
  Everyone was still resting in the front hall and looking up and down curiously.
  The boxes were all very exquisite, and it looked like they were for giving gifts. Wasn't Shen Zhuoxi called by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to raise troops to investigate?
  Shen Jingya stretched her neck and couldn't help but ask about this suspicion: "These are all given by the Right Prime Minister's Office? The Right Prime Minister's Office is not looking for trouble for you, why are you giving them things?"
  "Who said that Youxiang's Mansion is looking for trouble for me?" Shen Zhuoxi raised his eyebrows and said, "They took me to the Mansion as a guest."
  "Why do you have contact with Youxiang's Mansion?" Shen Heshan was both curious and suspicious: "Could he have done something else behind our backs?"
  "It happened that I helped You Xiangfu with a small favor." Shen Zhuoxi didn't intend to go into details: "You Xiangxiang is so polite and insists on thanking me. It's hard to refuse such kindness!"
  The old lady flipped the white jade card in her hand, knowing that the matter was not as simple as a small favor, and the look in Shen Zhuoxi's eyes also changed.
