Glory all the way

Chapter 108
When Su brought Su Wenyuan out of Qiu Ranxuan, in the inner room, the second lady's face was also blue and red, not worse than Bai Yingyun's at all.

He thumped the kang table resentfully, and the tea bowls on the shaking table made a slight collision sound. The second lady raised her eyes and looked at the wet nurse Yang Nai beside her and asked, "Mother, brother's official voice is strict, and sister-in-law is also strict." How could Wenyuan do such... such absurd thing?"

Originally, he wanted to say that Su Wenyuan "has no shame", but he felt that he was his future son-in-law. If he said it, his family and daughter would also be ashamed, so the second lady swallowed the words back.

Nanny Yang persuaded her with a look of relief: "Second Madam, it's time for Young Master Biao to make friends. It's not unusual for these young masters to go together, whether it's a restaurant or a flower boat. Even Eldest Young Master often passes by. Did you come back during the curfew? According to this old slave, it was the uncle and wife who cared about this marriage and the master and wife, so they hurriedly brought the young master to confess to you, or else, spread the word, like this For trivial matters, not only will people not think that Young Master Biao's behavior is wrong, but they will think that our Jing'an Hou Mansion is petty."

"Then what do you mean, don't think too much?"

Looking at Nanny Yang suspiciously, the second wife hesitated, but then she thought that Nanny Yang had grown up with her and was still by her side all the time, and would never speak to outsiders, so the second lady lowered her head and began to meditate again.

The effort of a cup of tea, the second lady seems to have figured it out.

Standing up and walking outside, the second lady murmured, "Maybe all the men in this world look like this? If he hadn't been engaged to Yun'er, how would he, Su Wenyuan, dare to drink flower wine in the capital so carelessly?"

Cursing Su Wenyuan resentfully in her heart, but when she entered the yard of Yunshui Pavilion, the second lady put on a relaxed expression that was no big deal.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Bai Yingyun put down the embroidery in her hands and came up to meet her. The second lady glanced at her and her expression became softer, "What are you embroidering?"

"It's just a pair of handkerchiefs. I'm free to pass the time."

Speaking softly, nothing could be seen on Bai Yingyun's face, and the second lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You all go down..."

The second lady looked around the inner room and saw that there was nothing unusual. Fang lovingly stroked Bai Yingyun's cheek and praised: "Mother's little padded jacket, now I finally know how to suppress my emotions. It can be seen that I have grown up." .”

After hearing the words from the little maid, Bai Yingyun was only angry for a moment, and then put it behind her. After that, she was secretly disappointed.

In fact, she wished that Su Wenyuan would be more reckless. In that way, parents who love her so much will definitely not marry herself to him like that. At that time, if she cries again and refuses to marry, the divorce will be a matter of course, right?

Even if she can't marry Uncle Zhongshan's son, no matter how good she is Bai Yingyun, she won't be the wife of Jinshi, right?Besides, Su Wenyuan hasn't had any serious errands so far, so why should she be married to the daughter-in-law of Jing'an Hou Mansion?

Thinking about it in a mess, she just felt that her heart was not at peace for a moment, so Bai Yingyun picked up the embroidery and calmed down. At this moment, her mother was so gentle and comforting, Bai Yingyun suddenly felt full of grievances.

When she raised her head again, there were two lines of tears on Bai Yingyun's face, "Mother, Cousin Su is not a good match, please don't marry him, mother..."

The second lady's complexion changed again and again, but she finally held back her temper and persuaded her kindly: "Yun'er, both father and mother are doing it for your own good, so why not harm you? The young talents in the capital are more handsome than you." Get up, have you ever heard of any young masters who don't go to Huajie Winery? If a man wants to achieve great things outside, these entertainments are unavoidable. Don't you want him to be so dull that he doesn't even have a friend or acquaintance? ?”

This kind of truth, Bai Yingyun naturally understood a little bit, she pursed her mouth, she didn't say anything more, but she still felt aggrieved in her heart.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, how could the second wife not know what she was thinking in her heart, she immediately held her in her arms and patted her on the back and said: "This woman, before she gets married, she only looks at the glory of her father and brother. Your husband and son-in-law earned it for you. Your cousin Su has already won the Jinshi, and with your uncle in front, the future is bound to be great. You, don’t think about anything, just pretend that you haven’t heard about those things outside. ah?"

Her heart was miserable, but Bai Yingyun knew that her mother's words were for her own good, so she nodded obediently.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and their mood improved a little. The second wife was promising to make some autumn clothes for Bai Yingyun, when a familiar voice came from the yard.

"Is Second Madam here? Our Madam invited her to talk to Miss Fifth..."

It was Gu Xiang who was next to Mrs. Xue.

Bai Yingyun got up and ran to the dressing table to look in the mirror. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with her face, she got up and greeted her, "Sister Gu Xiang..."

Gu Xiang is the first-class servant girl by Xue's side, and she takes care of all the affairs in Xue's house. Except for the masters, other servants in this mansion see Gu Xiang with a bit of awe. , although Bai Yingyun is a young lady, she is extremely polite to Gu Xiang.

Kneeling to salute the second wife and Bai Yingyun, Gu Xiang replied with a smile: "Uncle Madam sent some pastries, our wife asked the second wife and fifth lady to come over and have a taste."

Are there any unusual pastries in the Jing'an Hou Mansion that you haven't seen before?

I knew in my heart that this was just Xue's excuse, but the second wife didn't hesitate, she got up and took Bai Yingyun to Mingya Garden, when she entered the main room, she saw Bai Yingluo was there, the second wife was stunned for a moment, and turned her head subconsciously When I went to see Bai Yingyun, she also looked a little startled when she saw Bai Yingyun, thinking that she didn't know about it beforehand.

"Come on, sit down..."

Mrs. Xue was talking to Bai Yingluo, she stopped after hearing the servant girl's instruction, and greeted the second lady and Bai Yingyun cordially, but there was no smile in her eyes, which immediately made the second lady nervous.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sent by my natal sister-in-law. She said it was made with the first crop of sweet-scented osmanthus this year. For the sake of joy, I invite you to come and taste it."

While Mrs. Xue was speaking, Gu Xiang had already brought some maidservants to serve tea, and the second wife and Bai Yingyun each ate a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and they couldn't help turning their eyes around Bai Yingluo.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mrs. Xue sat upright, looked around at the three people in front of her, and said, "In the past few days, some slaves in the mansion have said a lot of nasty words, which implicated Sister Yun and Sister Luo, so I called You come and ask, is it the innocent daughter's family, we can't let these pretentious things damage my boudoir's reputation."

Speaking softly, Xue's eyes were fixed on Bai Yingyun, and seeing the slight invisible panic in her expression, Xue's heart sank.

"There was a servant girl in the firewood room in the backyard. She took out a pair of shoes and socks yesterday when she left the house to return home, but they were made for a man. First she said that she made them for her brother, and she confessed only after she was tortured. explain……"

Mrs. Xue took a look at Bai Yingluo and continued, "It is said that she was ordered by Miss Six to send it to Young Master Du at Qingsong Academy."

As if there was no doubt, Xue stated the whole matter in a flat tone, and then drank tea in silence. Suddenly, Bai Yingyun's heart seemed to stop at her throat.

The second lady's heart changed, and she immediately knew that Xue's move was likely to be suspicious of sister Yun, so she preemptively said, "Sister Luo, it's the old man who looks at Mr. Du differently. You are a girl." , Is it bad to give and receive in private like this? If it spreads out, you may think that our ladies in the Jing'an Hou Mansion are so uneducated..."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yingluo held her breath very calmly, "What the second aunt taught me is that Yingluo thinks so too."

The second lady was dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe that Bai Yingluo would say such a thing, she looked back at Mrs Xue with displeasure on her face.

Xue's face showed a slight smile, but the words in his mouth made people shudder, "Bring it in..."

The curtain at the door was lifted, and a servant girl whose hands and feet were bound and with a cloth stuffed in her mouth was pushed into the room. When she saw Mrs. Xue, the servant girl shrank and knelt on the ground, and waited until she could see the other three clearly. The servant girl's eyes flickered over Bai Yingyun's body, and she immediately lowered her head shyly.

It is self-evident what the truth is about this situation, the second lady tightly clenched her hands in her armholes, she turned her head and gave Bai Yingyun a hard look.

"Tell me, Miss Fifth's maid, what did you tell you? How many times have you brought something to Mr. Du?"

Said in a deep voice, Xue's eyes were soft, it didn't look like he was interrogating a prisoner.

The cloth ball in the maid's mouth was taken away, she bowed her head shyly and said: "Returning to Madam, this servant has never seen that sister, I don't know if it is Miss Fifth's maid, she... she said, it was Miss Six's order Servant, this is the third time that this is the third time that this is the third time that this is the third time that this is the time that this is the third time that this is the time that this is the third time that this is that this is the third time that this is that this is the third time that this is that this is the third time that this is that this is the third time that this is that this is the time that this servant has not seen Mr. Du, and that every time I have asked the little brother at the concierge of the Academy to deliver it."

With a sneer, Xue looked back at Bai Yingyun and remained silent.

It felt very uncomfortable to be suspected, and to believe that she was the one who caused the crime. Bai Yingyun's face was flushed, but she argued forcefully, "Auntie, Yun'er knows that you have always loved the sixth younger sister, but you can't doubt it because of me." I ordered the servant girl to frame Sixth Sister, I...why would I do this? By killing Sixth Sister, wouldn’t it ruin my own reputation as well?"

Xue Shi smiled, and looked up at Bai Yingyun, "Oh? Then you mean that I don't love you normally, so I deliberately framed you?"

Seeing Xue's smiling face, Bai Yingyun couldn't help remembering that her mother once told her aunt that she was a smiley tiger, and couldn't help shivering, "No...no, auntie, Yun'er didn't mean that."

"The pattern you asked for from Sister Luo was drawn by the maid in the house and then burned, but the pattern is not fake in your house. The shoe embroidery is done by Rui from your house. Zhu, she was the one who sent the message, why, do you want me to let Rui Zhu come over and answer?"

Xue asked in a cold voice.

Bai Yingyun remained silent, she didn't dare to say another word, what she thought was meticulous and flawless turned out to be full of flaws, and what did Bai Yingluo do in the middle from the beginning to the end?

Looking up at Bai Yingluo, who was calmly drinking tea with her usual expression, a chill appeared in Bai Yingyun's heart.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~~
