Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 88
Mrs. Cui nodded, and said: "What you said is also reasonable, Jinmao, you can find someone to see what kind of poison this is!"

Nanny Jin nodded, took some medicine powder, and went out.

Mrs. Cui took a look at Cui Wenxiao, and then asked: "Your yard is too neglected. Someone poisoned your dressing box, even poisoned the cat, and no one could find out. What do the servants eat?"

Cui Wenxiao was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized where her mistake was. She quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, grandma, it's the granddaughter who indulges them so much that people can take advantage of them!"

"You are the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Although it is said that with your mother around, you don't need to worry about the whole mansion, but in the future you will marry as a wife and take charge of the household affairs. If you can't manage your own yard well, How can grandma rest assured of you? Even though you did not do this matter, you also had the fault of neglecting to guard against it!"

Mrs. Cui was not harsh, but every word touched Cui Wenxiao's sore spot.

Cui Wenyu became proud quietly, but Mrs. Cui turned around and said: "Your own girl was taking care of your own cat, but someone killed her in the middle of the night. You only know how to cry and make a fuss, and ask others to clean up for you. What a mess, even though you are only seven years old, as a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, this kind of behavior is too petty!"

Cui Wenyu blinked her red eyes and said, "Yes, my granddaughter knew it was wrong!"

"It's not a big deal at all. A cat will die if it dies. It's too disgraceful for you two sisters to quarrel over this!" Mrs. Cui decided to hit each other with [-] big boards, and would not indulge anyone. .

Cui Wenyu said aggrievedly: "But...but that cat was given by the imperial concubine!"

"Given by the imperial concubine, it's just a cat. Cats will always die, so don't say anything about it. Don't you think you've caused enough trouble for the family?" Mrs. Cui glared at her. Little girl, what a worry!
Cui Wenyu glanced at Cui Guogong, as if asking for help.

As soon as Cui Guogong was about to speak, Mrs. Cui said, "Master Cui, I can understand that you feel sorry for your little daughter, but because of such a trivial matter, the whole house is in a state of chaos, do you think it's okay? Lord, you can be confused about some things, but you cannot be vague about some things!"

Cui Guogong was also reprimanded, so naturally he didn't dare to say anything, he respected his mother from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Wanqing knew that Mrs. Cui had probably decided to settle the matter, and it would be of no benefit to anyone if the matter were investigated to the end.

After all, Cui Wenyu is a girl of the Cui family, and the old lady is unwilling to let the family stir up trouble, unless it is too much.

She would rather turn a blind eye to such trivial matters!
Mrs. Cui thought for a while, then said: "Let me take care of this matter. Xing'er will go down to receive [-] boards and a fine of half a year's monthly salary. It's a punishment for your inability to take care of the cat. Do you have any objections?"

Xing'er glanced at Cui Wenyu aggrievedly, but said: "I don't dare to have any objections!"

"I don't dare to have an opinion, so I have it?" Mrs. Cui narrowed her eyes, and there was a frightening sharpness in her eyes.

Cui Wenyu was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "Xing'er, you damn girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you admit your mistake to grandma?"

Cui Wenyu is shrewd. Once the evidence is investigated, it will be the most detrimental to her. It is better to calm down and let her suffer.

Xing'er didn't dare to speak anymore, she quickly kowtowed and said: "I know I was wrong, I dare not, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Old Mrs. Cui snorted coldly, and said: "It seems that the rules of the Duke's Mansion are too loose, even if you all don't know how high the world is, whether you are a slave or not, master or not, what do you say?"

"Mother calm down, the most important thing is to take care of your health!" Cui Guogong hurriedly stepped forward to appease.

Mrs. Cui said bitterly: "Now even a little girl dares to play tricks on me. Your wife is too generous. If things go on like this, how can you take care of the Duke's mansion?"

"Yes, yes, mother taught me a reasonable lesson, my son will tell her well, and let her be more careful in the future!" Cui Guogong said.

Mrs. Cui suppressed her anger for a while, and continued: "Three girls, it is not good for you to discipline others. You are frivolous and arrogant, and you have no rules. I will punish you behind closed doors for three months. Copy the female precepts and female virtues three times a day. I read!"

Although Cui Wenyu was not happy, but at this juncture, how could he dare to disobey Mrs. Cui's wishes, so he kowtowed: "Yes, granddaughter obeys!"

Mrs. Cui then turned to Cui Wenxiao and said, "Although you can't say that you did this, after all, it happened in your yard. You were negligent in taking precautions, disciplined your subordinates laxly, and didn't stay calm when things happen. , Lived up to grandma’s expectations of you, and you also closed your doors and thought about it for a month as a punishment!”

"Yes, granddaughter knows she was wrong!" Cui Wenxiao kowtowed to accept the punishment. Although she said that she was innocent, Mrs. Cui's words still made sense. She was too lax. People discovered that if someone wanted to poison her to death someday, it would be a breeze!
Thinking of this, Cui Wenxiao felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

Mrs. Cui saw that the matter was calm, and said to Cui Guogong: "And you, as the head of the family, you are frizzy when things happen, and everyone in the house knows it! You should also restrain Yao and the three. Girl, don't spoil her too much!"

"Yes, my son knows his mistakes, and he is willing to go to the ancestral hall to think about his mistakes!" Cui Guogong is a very filial son. Seeing his mother angry, he took the initiative to accept the punishment.

Mrs. Cui nodded, and said: "Okay, you take the third girl and go!"

Then Cui Guogong took Cui Wenyu away, and Mrs. Cui gave Cui Wenxiao a wink, telling Cui Wenxiao to disperse all the idlers, and then said: "Wen Xiao, I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but I still want to punish you. Do you know why?"

"The granddaughter is too foolish, she didn't discipline her servants well, and she neglected to manage her own yard, so that someone could take advantage of her. Granddaughter should be punished!" Cui Wenxiao said.

Mrs. Cui nodded, and said: "You are not the most confused, you know how to make up for it, you made the medicine powder and Xing'er's bed, right?"

A thin layer of sweat formed on Cui Wenxiao's forehead, she quickly knelt down, and said, "Grandmother forgive me, my granddaughter is only afraid that my third sister will put the blame on me, so she made such a bad plan!"

"Well, I also understand that you have done a good job. If you are so stupid that you let her pour this basin of dirty water on your head, but you have no power to fight back, then grandma will really be disappointed in you!" Mrs. Cui spoke earnestly and sincerely.

Xie Wanqing nodded secretly at the side, Madam Cui is indeed different from other elders, her way of educating her children is so sharp.

If she could have been taught by her grandmother back then, she would not have been planted in Xie Siru's hands, and her life would have been miserable.

Cui Wenxiao asked in surprise, "Grandma doesn't blame me?"

"I said, you will marry and become a woman in the future. People like us, with your status, it is impossible to go to a small family, a high family, there are too many private things, and the dirty things behind it are my own. It’s hard to teach you one by one, if you have this scheming, you can guarantee yourself a life of worry-free life!”

"Of course, you can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to guard against others. You are at home now, and you still have your parents to protect you. Even if there is any quarrel between the sisters, someone will suppress it for you. It won't hurt the root cause. When you leave home in the future, who can protect you for the rest of your life except yourself?"

Mrs. Cui also loves her granddaughter very much, so she naturally doesn't want her granddaughter to be bullied outside.

Cui Wenxiao was moved to tears, and said, "Yes, thank you grandma for your love, my granddaughter will remember it!"

Mrs. Cui nodded, and turned to Xie Wanqing and said: "Wan'er, this is not only for your cousin, but also for you. You will enter the East Palace as the crown princess in the future. Although the crown princess is only a queen It's a step away, but many people have no way to cross that step, do you understand?"

Xie Wanqing nodded and said, "Wan'er understands!"

"You girl, you are too kind-hearted, and you don't have much defense against people. Some people are like a snake, you can't just listen to what she says, but watch what she does!" Mrs. Cui this time from the Xie family Taking Xie Wanqing over was also to teach her well.

Otherwise, she might not be able to suffer much in the future!

Xie Wanqing smiled slightly and said: "Yes, Wan'er will keep it in mind!"

She is no longer what she used to be. She has experienced ten years of torture, betrayal, family destruction, all tragedies, and who can she be kind to?

Her heart is already dead!

Mrs. Cui continued: "Remember, both of you, even if a woman is married, she is closely related to her family. The Cui family is behind the two of you, but it also means that if the Cui family disappears, you will be implicated! Especially It's late, after you enter the East Palace, if you make a mistake, it will bring disaster to your relatives, so you must be vigilant no matter what!"

Xie Wanqing nodded slightly, and said: "Well, Wan'er will not forget it, but... Wan'er doesn't want to enter the Eastern Palace as the crown princess, but the marriage is arranged by the emperor, and Wan'er can only accept her fate!"

Although she said so, Xie Wanqing desperately hoped to return the marriage.

Mrs. Cui nodded and said: "At the beginning I didn't want you to marry the prince, but the emperor and the imperial concubine both had the same intention, so I can't stop it, this is your fate!"

Is it her life?But she still decided to change her fate against the sky!
Cui Wenxiao said: "Wan'er, don't worry, with your intelligence, you will definitely be able to be as comfortable as a concubine!"

After this incident, Cui Wenxiao can see the depth of Xie Wanqing. She is definitely a smart and smart person, scheming, beautiful and intelligent, born in a family, with everything in order. Who else can be a princess?

Mrs. Cui said again: "Let's let this matter go like this. If the third girl does anything else in the future, you deal with her yourself. If others want to bully you, you should beat back hard, and she will naturally not dare to bully you. !"
