Glory all the way

Chapter 4 Innocent
The room was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop to the ground. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Bai Yingluo, and the expressions on their faces included shock, hesitation, and gloating secret joy.

"Sister Luo, what do you say?"

The complexion gradually turned cold, and the old lady Bai raised her eyes to look at Bai Yingluo, with doubts in her eyes that startled Bai Yingluo.

"Grandma, I...I..."

As she said this, Bai Yingluo's mind was spinning quickly, but a layer of sweat was already dripping from her palms, while Bai Yingyun's eyes were already shining with joy.

Looking at Bai Yingluo with disdain, Bai Yingyun just waited to see her make a fool of herself.

As if she had seen her grandmother throwing her sleeves away in anger, the eldest aunt Xue ordered the nuns in the mansion to come and take care of Bai Yingluo. No matter how beautiful she is, no matter how talented she is, from now on, she will never be able to hold her head up again in Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Thinking of this, Bai Yingyun's heart was already slightly agitated.

"Grandmother, Luo'er doesn't know why such words come out. But grandma, since Luo'er was born, she has only been out of the Marquis Mansion twice. I didn't leave half a step from my grandmother's side. Another time, when my grandmother was seriously ill, Luo'er and her eldest sister went to the nunnery with a few aunts and aunts to fulfill their vows."

With a look of contemplation on her face, tears welled up in Bai Yingluo's eyes, but she tried her best not to let the tears fall, and her appearance became more and more charming, "Grandmother, apart from the people in the house, Luo'er even has people outside the house." How could you be so shameless to call out other people's names in your dreams? Grandma..."

Tears poured down, Bai Yingluo quickly raised her hand to wipe them away, knelt down in front of the old lady Bai with a "plop" and said, "Grandmother, Luo'er really doesn't remember what happened in her sleep. But in that case, Luo'er will never I will say it, and I hope grandma will learn from her."

With Bai Yingluo's appearance, although she tried her best to defend herself, she was not convincing at all, but the old lady Bai's expression had softened a bit.

People are old and smart, old lady Bai has lived to this age, how can she not see that there is some quarrel between the two granddaughters?
But what Bai Yingluo said was the truth. Since she was born, she has been out of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion only a handful of times. No matter where she goes, there will be a group of servants and maids by her side. How can there be a chance to meet a man privately?

"Chen Xiang, tell me."

She nodded, but didn't ask Bai Yingluo to get up, the old lady Bai turned her head to look at Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang was originally a maid who followed Old Madam Bai, but when she saw that there were only two maids, Liu Su and Liu Ying, besides Bai Yingluo, there was no one close to her, so Old Madam Bai assigned Chen Xiang here, and it has been more than a year Now, Chen Xiang still called Bai Yingluo "Miss Six" as before, as if she was still a maid in Qing'an Hall.

However, Chen Xiang's monthly money is also paid by the old lady Bai, so on weekdays, not only Liu Su, Liu Ying and the little maids of Yi'an Pavilion, but even Bai Yingluo respectfully call her "Sister Chen Xiang".

At this moment, Old Madam Bai asked this question. Although Bai Yingluo was kneeling there with her head bowed, she unconsciously clenched the handkerchief tightly with her hands.

A word from Chen Xiang can save her from fire and water, but it can also put her in the fire of water.

Looking at the ground in front of her knees calmly, Bai Yingluo felt that the sound of her heartbeat was clearly heard in her ears, making her brain buzz.

"Old lady, Miss Six is ​​not in good health, and nightmares are common. In these years, which month doctor doesn't come to Yi'an Pavilion often? As for Yan Hong's words, the slaves have indeed heard..."

Chen Xiang spoke steadily, then paused for a while, and Bai Yingluo's heart sank suddenly.

"However, what the servants listen to is not quite the same as Yanhong, the old lady is sympathetic."

Chen Xiang knelt down respectfully and said.

"Honestly speaking..."

The old lady Bai said in a deep voice.

"The tenth young master often came to the Yi'an Pavilion to find the sixth young lady to play, and the sixth young lady coaxed him to recite the thousand-character essay. The slaves listened a few times, and the first two sentences were "the world is mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric". The tenth young master asked what is "Xuanhuang". Miss Six didn't know how to explain it after thinking about it. She read several books in the past few days, and she even walked walking chanting the word "Xuanhuang". As for what 'Xuan Lang' is, the servant guessed, it must be 'Xuan Huang'."

Chen Xiang said softly.

After hearing Chen Xiang's words, Old Madam Bai's eyes immediately fell on Bai Yingluo again. Seeing her kneeling there calmly, her face turned red and her body stiffened because she was trying to hold back the wronged crying. Believe me a little.

"Everyone get up..."

The old lady Bai waved her hand lightly.

Chen Xiang got up and stood directly behind the old lady Bai, while Bai Yingluo was still kneeling upright, as if she didn't hear the old lady's words.

"Sister Luo, get up quickly, maybe Yan Hong's little hoof misheard and wronged you. Get up quickly..."

Mrs. Xue coaxed softly with compassion on her face.

She raised her eyes to look at her grandmother, and saw that she was looking at her like that, but without the protection and love she had before she came, Bai Yingluo knew that this matter was far from over.

After bowing down and kowtowing three times, Bai Yingluo straightened up and looked at the old lady Bai and said, "Grandmother, Luo'er made a mistake, and I hope grandma will punish her severely."

"Stupid child, what are you talking about? Get up quickly, it's because the maids in your room are incompetent, so tell your aunt later, and ask her to help you change a few more easy-to-handle ones..."

With a wave of her hand, the old lady Bai took the dragon-headed crutch leaning on the side of the soft couch in her hand.

Bai Yingluo's heart was anxious, and she couldn't care less, she looked up at the old lady Bai and cried, "Grandmother, Luo'er really knew that she was wrong. The tired grandmother is worried about Luo'er's affairs. It's because Luo'er is unfilial and didn't control her well. The maid in the yard is Luo'er's incompetence, and it's Luo'er's fault from the beginning to the end. Grandma didn't punish Luo'er, it was her love for Luo'er, but Luo'er couldn't let herself go, from today onwards, Luo'er The son was confined to the Yi'an Pavilion for one month, and he was fined to copy the "Women's Rules" a hundred times."

Hearing this, the old lady Bai was startled.

In front of him, a young boy appeared, stood in front of him and said with an aggrieved face: "Mother, Ming'er knows his mistake, Ming'er shouldn't make a mother angry, you should punish Ming'er."

One was her beloved son, and the other was her son's only daughter whom she had never even seen face to face. There seemed to be two faces intersecting in front of Old Mrs. Bai's eyes, which made her feel a little dazed for a while.

"Old lady, this matter is the fault of those servants. When I turn around, my daughter-in-law will definitely punish the servants. Don't worry about it. Sister Luo is still young, and besides, she has always been in poor health. How can she be alone in her sleep?" You know, don't punish her."

Seeing that old lady Bai was silent, Mrs. Xue urged her loudly.

Seeing this, the second and fourth wives also echoed and persuaded. Seeing that the old lady was about to let go, Bai Yingyun stared at Bai Yingluo's back with an angry face and muttered: "What the nurturing mother said is that when you are sleeping, Daughter's family should also have rules, talk in sleep should take medicine and treat it properly, sixth sister don't want to push everything to nightmare, just think about it once and for all."

Bai Yingyun's words seemed to hit Bai Yingluo's teardrops. Immediately, tears fell from Bai Yingluo's eyes like broken beads, but she stubbornly bit her lips, refusing to cry out. .

"It's all gone. Today's matter is over. If I hear someone in the house gossiping, I will sell them all."

Looking up at Mrs. Xue noncommittally, the old lady Bai said in a deep voice, although she never looked at Bai Yingyun from the beginning to the end, but Bai Yingyun couldn't help shrinking her head, she didn't dare to say anything, when she turned her head, she was caught by her own eyes. His mother gouged out a hard look.

After Mrs. Bai spoke, Mrs. Xue and the others stood up and bowed, and filed out of Yi'an Pavilion.

Immediately, there were only old lady Bai, Bai Yingluo, Chen Xiang and a few maidservants left in the room.

"Bring water to clean your lady's face..."

The old lady Bai looked up at Chen Xiang.

"Yes, slaves obey."

Chen Xiang nodded in response, and retreated with Liusu and the others.

"Sister Luo, come and tell grandma, why do you have to punish yourself?"

Looking down at the girl kneeling in front of her, the old lady Bai asked while wiping her tears.

After hearing Old Madam Bai's words, Bai Yingluo suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Bai Yingluo sniffed her nose and said with a choked voice, "Eldest sister and fifth sister are fine, or the younger sisters, all of them have their own mothers to teach and remind them, so it's a mistake You made a mistake, you can't be disciplined, and you still have time to learn after all. Luoer... Luoer will spend more time learning this than them, so Luoer can't afford to be wrong. Only when you are punished will you have a long memory. From now on, write these down every day, and you won’t do anything wrong again.”

The implication is that a child without a father or a mother should be stronger than other children, otherwise, if she does something wrong, no one can protect her.

I thought that Bai Yingluo did this to pretend to make up for the bad influence caused, but what she said made old lady Bai feel even more sad.

The eyes couldn't help getting wet, the old lady Bai dragged her granddaughter up into her arms, shook her and sighed in a low voice: "Sister Luo..."

She seemed to want to say something, but the old lady Bai didn't say anything in the end, she just shook so softly, but in her heart, she thought of her son who died young.

After a while, Chen Xiang brought the little maid to fetch water, the old lady Bai told Bai Yingluo to cleanse her face, stood up by herself, and let the maid help her to go out.

At dinner time, Liu Ying came back from the small kitchen, and Bai Yingluo was silently writing "Rules for Women" at the desk.

Seeing that her young lady's eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, Liu Ying felt a little distressed, but thinking about the danger at noon, she didn't feel that the news just heard was bloody.

Liuying ordered the little maid to serve food, walked to Bai Yingluo and said in a low voice, "Miss, Yan Hong was killed with a stick, and Da Furen sent all the maids in the mansion to watch the execution."

　If there is no accident, it will be updated every night at [-] o'clock.
