Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 79

Xie Guozhang was generalized by Yan Zhaohua, and the anger that had just been ignited was extinguished all of a sudden. He couldn't really beat her and scold her to vent his anger on Gong as she said, could he?

Mrs. Gong didn't expect that Yan Zhaohua would admit it all. Her original plan was to use Yan Zhaohua to interfere in her grandfather's family affairs, so that the Duke would taboo her and reprimand her. As for beating and scolding Mrs. Gong, there was no hope. Even if the Duke is willing to be bewitched by her to give the order, the Liu family and the Gu family next to him are not vegetarians, so the purpose is to let the Duke reprimand Yan Zhaohua. It would be better if there are other understandable punishments. This can also restore a little bit of the face she lost today. As for the real debt, she didn't intend to let the Duke settle it for her. She can always find a chance to take revenge herself, just to show her anger on the bright side.

Seeing that Xie Guozhang was in a dilemma, she stepped back and stopped talking, but the face that still had charm was quickly covered with tears. Even though she was getting old, she still reminded Xie Guozhang of her youthful beauty back then, and such The tenderness and carelessness of years of not fighting or snatching is also distressing, but no matter how distressed it is, it can't be because of how she treats Yan Zhaohua at this juncture. Yan Xiu will be back soon, and the momentum of the Changning Marquis Mansion will definitely be different from before. Although the status of the Duke's Mansion has not decreased in the past two years, the Xie family has not produced many talented people. One of the brats in his family has made a name for himself, and the position of the Xie family will change in the future. Maybe, there will be a place where the Marquis of Changning will help in the future. This is indeed not the time to have conflicts with Yan Xiu.

It can only make Gong Shi suffer a little more. In private, he can make up for her well.

However, even though he had made this decision in his heart, Xie Guozhang couldn't just say it outright. The superficial momentum still had to be maintained, and he said to Yan Zhaohua:

"You know you're wrong, then go and make amends to Aunt Gong, and let's forget about it for today."

Xie Guozhang knew that Mrs. Gong didn't really want him to do something to Yan Zhaohua, she always wanted to save face, and as long as Yan Zhaohua apologized to her, half of the anger in her heart would be relieved.

But as soon as Xie Guozhang's words came out, Liu Shi was not happy, stood up and said:

"The Duke is also confused. No matter what you say, Sister Hua is a decent young lady. Let her go and apologize to Aunt Gong. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

Xie Guozhang stared at Mrs. Liu, as if complaining that Mrs. Liu had ruined his plan. The matter that could have been resolved soon became more and more complicated. He was about to argue with Mrs. Liu when Yan Zhaohua said:

"If my grandfather insists on me apologizing to Aunt Gong, then I would rather be beaten! Because apart from meddling in my grandfather's family affairs, I have not done anything wrong. There are outsiders in the backyard. This is an extremely serious matter." Wrong thing, today is Aunt Gong’s younger brother coming to wander around in the backyard, tomorrow it may be another aunt’s younger brother coming to the backyard, the Xie family has so many houses, so many aunts, if every aunt’s younger brother comes to the backyard where Xie’s family members live I walked around a few times, so what is the backyard of Xie’s house? I am also planning ahead, I am afraid that there will be examples in the future, and the rules of the backyard set by my grandmother will be ignored. At that time, what will the whole Duke’s mansion be? This is just First, Aunt Gong’s younger brother is fundamentally wrong, and second, not to mention he uttered wild words to me, threatening to slap me on the mouth. What's wrong with such a mouth? And why did my grandfather ask me why I beat the two nuns who served Aunt Gong? Just because they were not superior or inferior, they opened their mouths and cursed me. If I can't get married in the future, I A well-behaved young lady of the Hou Mansion has become the target of these slaves who can be humiliated at will. I am not convinced. If my grandfather thinks that I should swallow this breath, it is just because they are people around Aunt Gong, then I should be the one. If I didn't hear it, then I have nothing to say, I just admit this mistake, then from now on, do I have to remind everyone in the mansion to treat Aunt Gong's servants as if they were masters and Buddhas? If you are taunted and abused by them, you should hold back and keep silent, who made them serve your grandfather, your favorite aunt?"

Since Yan Zhaohua made the move, he has no intention of turning back. Whether Xie Guozhang likes her or dislikes her, she will not wrong herself to force it.

Xie Guozhang didn't expect that one day he would be speechless by his granddaughter. He pointed at Yan Zhaohua for a long time before saying:
"You, are you deliberately going against me?"

Yan Zhaohua didn't open his mouth, but Aunt Gong rushed forward and said, "Don't be angry, Duke, let's just forget about it. I was just impulsive. I just felt sorry for seeing Brother Quan being beaten. I didn't mean to express my distress." Miss is embarrassing, not to embarrass the Duke, the imperial physician only told you to rest well a few days ago, don't get angry, you better not be angry."

It is such a comforting thing to be comforted by a woman who has been serving me for so many years, who is as tender as water and who is always thinking of herself. But the more she is like this, the more Xie Guozhang feels sorry for her. Over the years, even if she is If he made trouble out of no reason, he wouldn't be so distressed.

Sighing, he said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Don't say anything. Since you know that you are wrong, start thinking about it behind closed doors from today. Even if I can't control you, when your father comes back, I will always be able to control you."

Liu Shi was not willing to give up, and immediately retorted:
"In the backyard rules of the Duke's mansion, there is no one that states that those who have done nothing wrong will be punished without reason. It is unfair for the Duke to be partial and reckless! Foreign men are not allowed in the backyard. This rule is made by me. If the Duke If you think there is a problem, just tell me. What's more, if the Duke thinks that I am not good enough to supervise and not worthy of being the mistress of the Duke's mansion, you can also say it together. I will make way for your Aunt Gong. gone."

Yan Zhaohua didn't expect that Mrs. Liu would say this for her sake. If Mrs. Liu didn't say it, she would just agree to argue a few more words. Isn't it just a grounding? She hit someone, vented her anger, and was grounded for a few days It doesn't matter, but Liu's words have a very different meaning. If the Duke punishes Yan Zhaohua today and makes Liu's furious, Aunt Gong may not be able to stay no matter what, after all No matter how much the Duke loves Aunt Gong, he will not be charged with doting on his concubine and killing his wife because of her.

The Duke was so anxious that he turned around in the hall, pointing at Liu Shi again and again, and finally said:
"Ruojun, why did you change too? You, aren't you forcing me?"

Liu's attitude was firm: "The concubine did not mean to force the Duke, but just wanted the Duke to wake up and see what he was doing. Even if the aunt gave birth to a child, it was still the aunt. If the Duke wants to To make her a serious master, I have no other choice but to suspend me. I taught her what Sister Hua did today. The Duke has someone on his heart to love, but I also hope that the Duke will not override this love. Adding a laughingstock to the entire Duke's Mansion."

Xie Guozhang looked at Liu's earnest eyes, and remembered how vigorous she was when she was young. He thought that after so many years, her edges and corners had been smoothed by the years, but now it seems that the edges and corners still exist, and once they show up, it will be fatal to him oppression!

Xie Guozhang felt a little headache when he sat down with the chair.

Aunt Gong naturally did not expect Mrs. Liu to be so tough. The Duke has always been afraid of Mrs. Liu, but now he must have softened after hearing these words. There is no way to make any progress in today's matter. Mrs. Gong knelt beside the Duke , holding the Duke's hand, said:
"Duke, don't be angry. I don't want Miss Biao to apologize. As Miss Biao said, I am also responsible for this matter. Don't get angry for me and my wife. Take care of your body."

Xie Guozhang looked up at the unrepentant Liu Shi, as if he was going to make a final demonstration, he stood up with Aunt Gong's hand, then walked up to Yan Zhaohua and took a look at her, then Aunt Gong helped her to leave flower hall.

Mrs. Gu was too scared to speak the whole time. She didn't come to see Mrs. Liu until Xie Guozhang left. Mrs. Liu looked as usual and said to Mrs. Gu: "Don't look, I'm fine."

Yan Zhaohua stood up from the ground, walked to Liu's side, lowered his head, and whispered:
"I'm sorry grandma, I caused you trouble."

Mrs. Liu grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand, shook her head, and said, "Not counting the trouble you caused. Although what happened today was beyond my expectation, what you did was not wrong. Aunt Gong is not a simple person. She You have tricks and scheming. You have never confronted me before. They are all behind the scenes. Today, you made a mistake and let her come with me. It’s not a bad thing. It’s just, You provoked her today, and you have to go around when you see her in the future, she can survive in the Duke's mansion for so long, it is definitely not her face, do you understand?"

Yan Zhaohua nodded, and said: "I know Aunt Gong is a powerful person, and she will never take it lightly. It's just her little brother, how will my grandmother plan to treat her? It's not like that to keep such an outsider in the house all the time, I see He looks obscene and speaks obscenely, if he stays in the mansion, he may cause trouble in the future."

This is what Yan Zhaohua said implicitly. Where is Gong Ruquan the culprit? With full support, when Mrs. Xie died, Aunt Gong would definitely be suspicious of Mrs. Liu. Now that Mrs. Liu wants to send someone secretly, Aunt Gong will definitely keep an eye out. It would be fatal to anyone if there was a clue, Yan Zhaohua didn't want to put Liu's family in danger.

Mrs. Liu let out a long breath, and said thoughtfully:

"You can't stay, it just depends on what method you use to make him go. If it's just an ordinary crime, there's no difference between keeping him and driving him away. The Duke loves Aunt Gong and will definitely treat her brother more in the future." If there is a promotion, this matter has to be discussed in the long run."
