Chapter 96
The second lady went to the Yichun Courtyard with arrogance and arrogance.

The eldest lady is educating her daughter: "...you did a good job today. You taught the second girl a lesson, achieved your goal, and left an impression of generosity and courtesy in front of the old lady. Not only will the old lady not feel that you If you do something wrong, they will praise you for being neither humble nor overbearing, and impartial. This will continue to be the case in the future, as long as you leave a good impression on others, even if you do something wrong, others will think that you are unintentional."

"Everything is like this, don't rush, take your time, you have a good reputation, you don't have to worry about doing anything. On the contrary, if your reputation is bad, even if you do good things, others will not believe you. The more you want to If you want that thing, the more you have to show no desire, only in this way can you be invincible in the inner house..."

Gu Yu walked in quickly, the eldest lady couldn't help frowning: "What happened?"

When explaining these principles of life to her daughter, the eldest lady was very jealous of others breaking in, and she didn't like being interrupted.

Gu Yu hurriedly said: "Madam, the Second Madam is here."

"Mother, I'm afraid Second Aunt came here to ask you to intercede with Second Sister."

"It's not like." Gu Yu said: "Second Madam is full of anger, the visitor is not kind."

"Well, I see." The eldest lady not only didn't get angry, but smiled. She patted Gu Chonghua's hand and said, "Fei's brainless person must have come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime. Xingshi's indictment is false. I want to turn it over." Genius is true. In the past, she must have begged me to intercede, but now... just wait and see."

"Second brother and sister, why are you here?"

"Hey, from the tone of my sister-in-law, I'm not welcome."

The eldest lady smiled all over her face, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in the second lady's tone: "Second siblings really know how to joke, sit down quickly."

"Sister-in-law, you are really free. You can still laugh when something big happens at home." Fei said angrily: "The eldest girl and the fourth girl bullied Sister Zhu together, and now Sister Zhu is imprisoned by the old lady." Little Buddha Hall, don't say you don't know anything about this matter."

"I know about this matter." The eldest lady nodded and said, "It's just that the second girl sued the fourth girl in front of the old lady because of a Nanjing Yunjin. Sister Hua just went to ask for an encounter. That's all, it has nothing to do with Sister Hua. Besides, right and wrong are naturally judged by the old lady. Although I know the truth, I can't interfere with the old lady's decision."

The second lady was furious when she heard this: "Sister-in-law, it is too unconscionable for you to say this. This matter is judged by the old lady, but you are the head of the house now! If such a big thing happened, you Just choose to have nothing to do with yourself, if everyone is a housekeeper like you, will there be any rules in this family?"

The second lady became more and more angry, her voice wished she could lift the roof up: "Second master has worked so hard for the family affairs, and there is not a single day that he doesn't worry about it. Our second wife worked hard, not only did not get well, but sister Zhu was also hurt. The bullying by others. The old lady was deceived by the schemes and tricks of the fourth girl, so that sister Zhu was wronged in vain. If you don’t care about it, sister-in-law, I think this family cannot live. Everyone bullies our second room!"

When the eldest lady saw the second lady say this, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

She knew that the second room had no good intentions. Although Fei had made troubles in the past, she never dared to say such things. Now that the Elder Master is gone, she showed her fox tail and was extremely arrogant.

Hmph, the jumping beam clown actually wants to ride on my head!

The eldest lady sneered, but her face didn't show at all, she just looked at the second lady calmly: "Second brother and sister, I was indeed negligent about this matter, so look, what should I do now?"

This is what the second lady was waiting for. Seeing that the eldest lady remained calm, she thought she lacked confidence and was afraid of her sharpness.

To put it aside, Da Furen has never been so easy to talk about.

In the past, the eldest lady was able to show off her power and walk sideways in the inner house, not because the eldest master was the marquis.Now that the old master is gone, her arrogance can no longer be raised.

A man is the sky, and when the sky supports it, women have honor.The sky is falling, no matter how powerful a woman is, it will be in vain.

The second wife felt that the eldest house was exhausted, and now that it was the second house's early days, maybe the position of housewife would be her turn soon, and she had to show her dignity.

"You ask the old lady to release Sister Zhu, and ask the eldest girl and the fourth girl to apologize to Sister Zhu. You have to kowtow to apologize."

She raised her eyebrows, and just when she saw Da Furen's half-smiling eyes, she felt a little apprehensive, and hurriedly said: "The mastermind is Si Yatou, let Si Yatou kneel down, it's enough for the eldest girl to say something, I don't have to ignore people Also, I will take care of our second room by myself in the future, so I won't bother my sister-in-law."

The eldest lady raised her brows, a flash of sternness flashed in her eyes, and she quickly covered it up: "I have nothing to do with what the second sibling said, but it's a very important matter, and the old lady needs to agree to it."

Hearing what the eldest lady said, the second lady was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Of course, we as daughter-in-laws don't dare to be self-sufficient. It's not too late, sister-in-law, just follow me to An Rong Yuan, and go talk to the old lady." say clearly."

"This..." The eldest lady looked at the sky outside and hesitated: "It's so late, should the old lady rest? Why don't you go tomorrow."

"It's not too late, it's not too late at all. The old lady definitely hasn't slept yet." The second lady glanced at her mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you want to go?"

"Of course not." The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Look at what the second sibling said, since you said so, then I will accompany you for a walk."

The second wife held her toes high and proudly, and said with a victor's attitude: "Sister-in-law is too polite."

With lanterns on and braving the snow, a group of people came to An Rong Yuan.

The two daughters-in-law came hand in hand, Mrs. Ge was shocked, she thought something big had happened.

Maniping retreated and called them into the inner room.

After learning the purpose of the second lady's visit, Mrs. Ge was so angry that she took a teacup on the spot and threw it heavily at the second lady's head and face.

Fortunately, the second lady turned her head slightly to avoid it, but finally touched her forehead, and the second lady's forehead got a lump on the spot.

The second lady was startled and angry, she didn't hide her anger for a while, she stared at Mrs. Ge and asked, "Old lady, what are you doing?"

Ever since her husband died and her son became Marquis of Qingyang, Mrs. Ge had never been questioned like this, especially the undisguised resentment in the eyes of the second wife, which made Mrs. Ge furious.

She slapped the second lady on the face with a slap: "Who gave you the courage to dare to question me? Well, well, all of you are going against the sky, men are greedy for ink outside, and the public His property and harvest are drawn towards his own room, and his hands are longer than anything else. The woman in the inner house is eager to ask for a housekeeper. This house has not been taken care of yet, so she will come to refute me! The second girl is my caretaker. Yes, you want to let it go. You are so brave, you dare to hit me in the face!"

"I'm not dead yet, and your second room dares to do this. You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, I treated you so well in the past, it's not worse than crawling out of my stomach, you are better, you are a wolf-hearted thing, want to control Nei Zhai, if you want to ride on my head, let me tell you, you will be blind!"

Mrs. Ge was so angry that she clapped her hands on the kang table, staring at the second lady with eyes that wished she could eat her alive.

She is really angry!

Ever since the eldest son died, the eldest lady told her that the second housekeeper was ambitious. The second master looked honest and useless but was full of evil intentions. The second wife even challenged the authority of the eldest son repeatedly, even intending to replace the eldest wife as housekeeper.But Mrs. Ge didn't take it to heart, she felt that the second master was a cowardly person and would never have such a scheming plan, and the second wife Fei was her niece, although she was usually a bit arrogant, she would never betray her .

It wasn't until the eldest lady put the evidence of the second master's corruption in front of her that she began to realize that the second son of a concubine was no longer the one who only promised to listen to her decisions in everything.

Although she was angry in her heart, she kept it secret and wanted to wait until after the year to deal with it.But I didn't expect the second lady to push her nose on her face.

She originally thought that the second lady didn't know about the second master, but now it seems that she was wrong, very wrong.

The eldest daughter-in-law is right, everyone in the second room is ambitious, the second master, the second wife, including the second lady, none of them harbor evil intentions.

After all, she didn't crawl out of her stomach. No matter how good she was to them, she was just a meat bun beating a dog, and she never returned.

The Second Madam did not expect that Mrs. Ge would also know about the corruption of the Second Master, but under such circumstances, how could she admit it.

She felt that Mrs. Ge must have lied to her. If Mrs. Ge had evidence, she would have used her family's methods to deal with the second master. How could she wait until now to slap her in the face.

She immediately raised her neck, pretending to be filled with righteous indignation after being slandered: "Old lady, you really wronged me and the second master. How could he embezzle the money from the public? All these years, he is How to work hard for the family, everyone from top to bottom can see it. When the old man was alive, he was away for many years, and the second master was in charge of it inside and out. What he got was what he deserved. That's all. After the master died, he worked hard for the Gu family and didn't dare to be greedy for a penny."

Now the second master is the backbone of the family, as long as she kills her and refuses to admit it, what can the old lady do to her!
The second lady was not afraid at all, but her face looked like she had been greatly wronged.

Almost in tears, she said: "Some people don't do anything, just sit back and enjoy what they get. The second master has done so many things, but he is still being slandered by others. Old lady, our second wife is more wronged than Dou E."

If she had made such an assurance in the past, Mrs. Ge would have believed her long ago.But now, Mrs. Ge has the evidence of the second wife's embezzlement, so how can she be deceived by her words.

After the second lady sang and sang, Mrs. Ge felt that she was extremely hypocritical, with a sweet tongue and a sword in her belly, and even a human face and a beast heart.

Especially her last few words made Mrs. Ge so angry that her veins burst out: "In your eyes, who is the one who enjoys the rest? Is it me? Or your sister-in-law?"

"A lowly whore, a heartless seed, this Gu family was passed down by the old Hou Ye, and my son has bought the wealth and splendor of today. He is dead, and you will treat him like this."

Thinking of her son's death and earning so much wealth for these irrelevant people to enjoy, her heart hurt like a knife.

Mrs. Ge's hands were trembling, she pointed at the second lady and cursed, "You...you look at him dead, I have no one to rely on, so you just want to ride on my head and domineering over the Gu family, I tell you, it's a dream! "

"You think that without the title, the Gu family will be in ruins. You think that if there is no one in the big house, you can become kings and hegemony. Don't think about it. Although the title is gone, the iron certificate of the imperial gift is still there, as long as the concubine Hui speaks before the emperor. , Brother Rong can still take over the title. Next spring, the Gu family's title will come back."

The more the second lady heard it, the colder her heart became, and in the end her face turned pale and she was stunned.

The reason why she dared to be so arrogant was that on the one hand, she relied on Mrs. Ge's love for her, and more importantly, she felt that there was no one in the Gu family now, and she had to rely on the second master for everything. There is also a day to come back.

Mrs. Ge spat at her: "Blind and black-hearted old chick, now you know you have a long face."

"Old lady, old lady..." The second lady knelt down with a puff, and she was extremely annoyed: "My daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong. I see that my sister-in-law is very busy recently, so I want to manage our second room. It is definitely not to share power with my sister-in-law. I really don't know anything about the second master's greed for ink. He has been going out early and late late, and he is very busy every day. I didn’t even see a penny.”

"Yes, old lady." The eldest lady persuaded softly: "I also believe that the second younger sister is unaware, if the money that the second master greedy for ink is really handed over to the second younger sister, then the second girl will not be greedy for the fourth girl." Fabric."

It's okay if the eldest lady doesn't say anything, but once she said it, she reminded Mrs. Ge that Gu Chongzhu's clothes these days are undoubtedly not the best, while Gu Chonghua, Gu Chongzhi, and Gu Chongyang are all wearing very plain clothes.

Right now, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law are standing together, and the second daughter-in-law is obviously more luxuriously dressed.

Every month in the family is the same, if it wasn't for the second master's greed for ink and money, how could the second family have the money to dare to squander like this.

"You really don't know? Or do you not report what you know?" Mrs. Ge's tone was as cold as ice: "Just now you kept saying that the second master would not be greedy for ink? You changed your confession in the blink of an eye, who knows? How much of what you said is true and how much is false?"

The eldest room is keeping a filial piety for the old man, and the fourth room is keeping a filial piety for the fourth wife, so naturally they can't wear fancy clothes.Although Erfang was greedy for ink, he didn't dare to show it publicly.Originally, the old lady might just be skeptical, but the words of consolation by the eldest lady not only confirmed the fact that the second master was greedy for ink, but also pointed out that the second lady did not report the knowledge.

The second lady gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, she just swore: "If the second master comes back, I will definitely ask clearly, if he really did something against his conscience, I'm sorry for the Gu family, I'm sorry for the old lady Let alone you, even I will never let him go easily!"

"Old lady, the matter of the second master's greed for ink is not a trivial matter. The second master did not come back tonight. Even if the second sibling knows about it, I am afraid it will be limited. We will not be able to ask anything at this time. Why don't we let it go. "The eldest lady said softly: "The second girl is still closed in the small Buddhist hall. It's so cold, and the small Buddhist hall doesn't burn earth dragons. I'm afraid it's not enough to have a carbon basin to keep out the cold. , even I, who is an eldest aunt, can't bear it."

Mrs. Ge snorted coldly, and said: "The second girl is also my granddaughter. As a grandmother, am I willing to torture her? If she didn't do something wrong, how could I punish her?"

The second lady was so angry that she was about to bleed. The eldest lady is really a gloomy dog. She usually keeps silent, but at critical times, she bites someone.

Her loss today was that she suffered a lot.

"Old lady, you spared your daughter-in-law this time. I was the one who questioned your decision because of the lard. When I heard that sister Zhu was locked up, I was in a mess. I lost my mind and went crazy. I beg you Don't get acquainted with me."

In the past, Mrs. Ge would have forgiven her long ago.After all, Fei Shi is her niece, while Hao Shi is an outsider.No matter how dissatisfied she was with Fei Shi, she would not insult her in front of Hao Shi.

But this moment, that moment, after the recent events, Mrs. Ge's heart for the second room is completely cold.

She did not speak.

The eldest lady felt very happy when she saw it. In the past, Fei cried, made trouble and hanged himself, which caused him a lot of losses.This time, let her have a taste.From now on, she can no longer use this trick.

During this brief silence, the second lady's heart sank slowly. She knew that it was getting late, and if this continued, the old lady would have to rest.And if she doesn't make any changes, she will never be able to win back the old lady's heart.

Losing the favor of the old lady, she knows better than anyone what will happen to her in the future, and the fourth wife, Shen Shi, is the best example.

The second lady shuddered, and "bang, bang, bang" kowtowed to Mrs. Ge: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law really knew that she was wrong. Your old man has a lot, so please forgive me this time."

She knocked hard, and the bang bang bang sounded terrifying.

While knocking, she cried and begged: "Auntie, Xueniang knows she was wrong, Auntie, please forgive Xueniang, Xueniang will never dare again."

She cried so pitifully.

Xueniang is Fei's nickname.

Mrs. Ge didn't have a daughter, but she liked Fei Xueniang, the daughter of her younger sister, and often took Fei Xueniang to live at home.

And because the second wife's family is not good, she is also very close to this aunt who loves her and gives her beautiful clothes and delicious food. The aunt and nephew are like mother and daughter.

The sound of "auntie" evokes old Madam Ge's memories.

Her heart felt a little unbearable.

When the eldest lady saw it, she took a bite. This Fei Shi actually used bitter tricks, it was really very thoughtful.

"Second brother and sister, second brother and sister, what are you doing?" The eldest lady exclaimed, squatting down and hugging the second lady, but reprimanded in disapproval: "The old lady is a grandmother, and the second girl has done something wrong. The old lady can't teach me a lesson? You are persecuting the old lady like this, how majestic will the old lady have in the Gu family in the future?"

Hao Liniang, you are too deceitful!The second lady fell on the ground, scolding the eighteen generations of the eldest lady's ancestors in her heart.But no matter what the eldest lady said, she just didn't raise her head, she just kowtowed.

The eldest lady has endured it for so many years, and finally had a chance to make the second lady slump, how could it make her come back from the ashes?
"Second brother and sister, are you coercing the old lady?" She clutched the second lady's arm tightly, pinching it with almost all her strength, and her voice became more righteous: "If everyone does something wrong, they will be like you." Are you the same, do the Gu family still have rules? It’s not me, the sister-in-law, who is talking about you, but you dote on the second girl too much. I don’t know that she did something wrong today, and there is no reason for you, a mother, to be too spoiled. The second brother and sister, loving mother What a loser!"

Most of the unbearableness in Mrs. Ge's heart disappeared in an instant, and her eyes were as cold as moonlight: "I know you love Er Yatou, but what happened today is indeed Er Yatou's fault. As a sister, she not only fell in love with Ge The handkerchief that my family gave Sanya, and even came to me to tell the truth, saying that Siya had spoken disrespect to me behind my back, and even burned a whole bolt of Nanjing brocade."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ge suddenly felt that the reason why Gu Chongzhu would slander Gu Chongyang out of nothing by turning black and white in such a way, and rob Gu Chonghua so boldly and disregarding the relationship between the superior and inferior sisters, is clearly that he learned from the second wife.

She felt more and more that the eldest daughter-in-law, Hao Shi, was worthy of being the daughter of an official, and she hit the point in one sentence. Dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, and mice's sons can make holes. Gu Chongzhu's lack of etiquette must be the result of the second wife's precepts and deeds.

In this way, Gu Chongzhu definitely cannot forgive easily.

She sternly said: "I have been homeless for many years. I usually seldom ask if their girls did something wrong. This time, it was the second girl who came to me and complained first. Fortunately, Sister Hua came to replace the four girls. The girl testified that it was the second girl who was playing tricks and provoked me. If not, I would have been deceived by the second girl. I usually love her so much, but she uses my trust to deal with the fourth girl. If I trust her easily, not only will the fourth girl The girl is chilling, and she will give people the impression of being ignorant and partial to listening and believing. The second girl is so bold, how can I not punish her?"
