Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 237: Fishing in Troubled Waters (4)
Even the birds on the tree can be coaxed down by this cunning, no wonder the second son can't leave her now, and even contradicted himself because of her, although Tong Shi is still angry, after listening to Lianiang's tick-tock Dadi Lihua cried in the rain, but her face was not as tense as before.

It's not that Mrs. Tong gave in to the second aunt, it's just that since the son likes her, why bother to fall out with her openly and damage the relationship between himself and his son?
For a concubine, it's not worth breaking the relationship between mother and child.

It's just a concubine born from a skinny horse. Tong Shi didn't believe that the second child could love her for long. Thinking of it this way, his eyelids drooped, he picked up the official kiln pastel sparrow branch porcelain bowl at hand, and took a sip of Tieguanyin: " Get up, kneel down and cry, do you want the second child to come to me again, pointing at my nose and blaming me for hitting you?"

When Lianiang heard this, she panicked, wiped away her tears in a hurry, stood up, but still bent over: "The master was also in a hurry that day, and he didn't understand the situation," she said, turning around, facing the winter Sister, she immediately changed her countenance. Before the people in the room could recover, they raised their hands and threw a white and tender slap on the maidservant's face with a "slap", and scolded: "Old lady!" Punish me, it’s just and right! Did I tell you to call someone? If you didn’t call the master in a panic, how could the master almost offend the old lady, and let the old lady misunderstand me! It’s you who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic hooves, making the house in the backyard restless!"

Sister Dong was beaten so loudly that her ears rang, she knelt down, but she didn't hold her tongue or cry for injustice, she covered her swollen face and cried: "The slave girl also saw that the second aunt's arm was injured, and she was in a hurry, for fear that the master would blame the slave girl I didn't take good care of it, so my brain was confused, and I ran to find the master to put out the fire on my own initiative, not intentionally causing the master and the old lady to quarrel."

Lianiang still had a pink face with hatred, hating iron for nothing, and wanted to teach her a lesson to the end: "You can yell, what kind of nonsense did you say to the master when you told the situation in the west courtyard! Why did the old lady hit me? , Said that my arm was injured, if you hadn't been confused and added fuel and vinegar, how could the master have had friction with the old lady! You, you-you have hurt me a lot!"

Sister Dong cried again, moaning and wiping away her tears: "It's true that this servant can't speak." The servant didn't study, and was clumsy with his tongue. He always spoke straight and straight without turning a corner. What's the matter, I don't know how to put it tactfully, I never thought that the master would misunderstand the old lady, let alone such a big incident!
One of the master and the servant taught the lesson impartially, and the other confessed his mistake guiltily. Tong Shi just sat at the head, watching coldly, without making a sound.

Hui Lan also just followed behind the old lady, watching silently, but Xizhu frowned secretly and shook her head, this second auntie pushed all this matter to the servant girl.

It's not in vain that Sister Dong has been with Lianniang for such a period of time. If you don't learn flesh and blood, you can always learn a little superficial. When you start acting, you can sing and sing with her master. It's very vivid. Look at this, before the two came I've already figured it out, maybe even rehearsed once!

On this side, Sister Xiangdong cried and kowtowed to admit her mistake, and Lianniang knelt down again, facing Tong Shi: "Anyway, the servant girl made a mistake, and it's because Lianiang didn't teach her well. There is a pimple, if Sister Dong alone can't appease the old lady's anger, then she and Lianniang will be punished together!"

After a long while, Mrs. Tong finally spoke up, with a neutral tone: "Forget it, since the source of everything is that Sister Dong made the decision without authorization and the words were unclear, then take Sister Dong outside the ancestral hall and ask someone to beat her with a stick. Don't mention the matter any more, it's so easy to calm down, and the trouble is endless, do you think there are too few things about the Yun family?"

Lianiang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and sternly shouted: "Come on, why don't you drag Sister Dong to the ancestral hall!"

An old nanny with a fat waist and a strong body came in, called two servants, and hooped Sister Dong under her armpits, and carried her out. Although Sister Dong looked flustered, she only clenched her mouth tightly, as if she had been hurt this time. This punishment was taken for granted, and he was dragged away by a few people without complaint or regret.

Lianiang faced the gate, watched Sister Dong's figure disappear around the corner, then turned around, frowned, made a noise like a mosquito, and bit her lip in fear: "This is according to the old lady's wishes, and the family law will be enforced. Don't dare to be selfish, the servant girl will be killed if she is killed, if the life is saved, the concubine will definitely discipline her strictly in the future, she will never make mistakes again, and she will never let her disobey the old lady again .”

Tong Shi had just recovered from a serious illness, and there was a rumble in his ears for a while, and now he was tired, waved his hand, and said in a calm tone: "It's up to you to make troubles. You can take care of your own people."

Lianiang saw that the old lady's attitude towards her was half-hearted, she was not sure what she was thinking, she was afraid that she still held some grudges towards her, and she was about to take two steps closer, hold a cup of tea and beat her back, to please her more After a few words, Hui Lan, who had been silent all this time, saw the old lady's tired face, exchanged glances with Fourth Aunt Huang, helped Tong Shi up from left to right, and then said to Xizhu next to her, "Xizhu, go to the kitchen to check on the old lady's house." Is the medicine ready? If it is ready, use a fan to cool it for three minutes before bringing it in... Oh yes, remember to bring along the candied fruit that the eldest girl asked someone to pickle, the jar that was just sealed the other day It's fresh, I'm afraid it's ready."

Tong Shi, like most people, is afraid of suffering, but good medicine tastes bitter, and the medicine prescribed by Yao Guangyao is extremely difficult to swallow. After two days of drinking, Tong Shi's stomach is as if a layer of oil has been scraped off. I can't stand the bitter taste, and I have acid reflux and vomiting.

Yun Wanqin uses fresh fruit pulp wrapped in honey, sugar and salt and marinated in a sealed altar, which can not only suppress the bitter taste of the medicine, but also stimulate the appetite and help digestion than simple honey. Tell Huilan to ask grandmother to bite a piece under her tongue and put it under her tongue. Since then, Tong Shi feels much more comfortable when taking medicine.

Hearing Huilan's instructions now, Tong's tired face eased, and he added a heartfelt smile: "You and Sister Qin are both careful people. Except for Fourth Gu, there is no one in this backyard. People understand my old fellow’s mind better than you.”

Hui Lan just lowered her head and made two noises.

Lianiang was interrupted by Hui Lan, I don't know if she did it on purpose or not. Seeing the old lady complimenting Hui Lan endlessly, she became angry and stuck in her chest. Seeing that Tong Shi didn't intend to ask her to take care of her, she could retreat first. Going to the side, the voice is wanwan and delicate, clasped his hands on the waist, and said softly: "Then Lianiang dare not disturb the old lady to take medicine."

Tong Shi didn't even bother to turn her head back, and with the support of the two bedrooms, she advanced into the bedroom.

Miao'er went back to Yingfu Courtyard and told the eldest girl about the matter of the West Courtyard from the beginning to the end, every detail.

Yun Wanqin couldn't help but groan when she heard this, this second aunt has a big heart, she wants both the favor of men and the pity of the elders, she has everything in her hands, she really didn't expect her father to take such a big role, Maybe one day he will become the Bai family.
