good wife

Chapter 14
Jingyi has already memorized all the rules and living rules of some mansions in this world in her heart, thanks to Nanny He's endless nagging every day.

Jingyi saw that Mrs. Bai sat under her mother, and knew that she must not sit under Mrs. Bai. This was a violation of the rules, and it was tantamount to telling the servants in the mansion in disguise that Mrs. Bai His status is above his own!Therefore, Jingyi chose to stand beside her mother with her head down, not only not messing with the rules, but also appearing to be close to her mother.

"Having recuperated for half a year, your complexion is much better? It's just that you're a little thin. Turn around and go to the storeroom to pick up some supplements for a good supplement, and pick some for Yiyi by the way." The old man said first.

Gu smiled and said: "Thank you father for caring! My daughter-in-law has already recovered from her illness, and Yiyi has been reluctant to come back, so she stayed in Zhuangzi for a few more days."

Jingyi heard the words, looked up at the old man, raised the corners of her mouth, and said innocently: "Grandpa! Yiyi saw a lot of things on Zhuangzi that she hadn't seen in the mansion!"

"Oh? Come on, come to grandpa and tell grandpa, what strange things have you seen? See if grandpa has seen it?"

Jingyi ran to the old man, hugged the old man's arm, and said in a crisp voice: "Grandpa, Yiyi saw many, many small animals! There are little rabbits, pheasants, frogs, and cows!"

The old man laughed loudly: "My good granddaughter! But you like that Zhuangzi?"

Jingyi nodded: "Yes! There are still a lot of delicious fruits! This time I came back and brought a lot for grandpa and grandma."

The old master stroked Jingyi's head and said: "Good boy, you still know how to respect grandpa, so grandpa didn't love you for nothing!" Then, he turned his head and said to Su Wei: "Since this girl likes that Zhuangzi, I will keep it for her later. dowry!"

Su Wei nodded in agreement.Although Bai Shi had a smile on her face, one could still see her reluctance and reluctance.

The old lady smiled, looked at Jingyi and said: "But you are only seven years old, why do you have to prepare the dowry so early?"

Gu's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "What the old lady said is that Yiyi is only seven years old, so she really shouldn't have prepared those things so early. But, today, when the daughter-in-law returned home, she found The daughter-in-law's things can be manipulated and moved casually. If you don't make preparations early, I'm afraid that Yiyi will only be married when she arrives, alone and with nothing else."

As soon as the words fell, everyone had different expressions.Both the old man and Su Wei frowned and did not speak.

After hearing this, the old lady looked straight at Mrs. Gu, and said in a clear voice: "What is the daughter-in-law talking about? Who dares to neglect my daughter-in-law of the dignified residence?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu looked at the old lady with a smile on her face: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law said so, so there is a reason for it. My daughter-in-law dares to ask the old lady, I, Dayuan, when will this concubine room be able to go straight?" Has Miss Di’s name been taboo? I, Dayuan, when did I allow concubines to call themselves “concubines” in front of the mistress? Also, I, Dayuan, in front of the mistress, concubines can only stand forever, You can only sit down unless you have the permission of the mistress, so I dare to ask Aunt Bai, Madam, when will you be allowed to sit?"

After hearing these words, Mrs. Bai was startled, and blamed herself for living too comfortably in the past six months, but she was careless and forgot the rules.Bai Shi quickly stood up and stood aside respectfully.

The old lady narrowed her eyes, glanced at Gu Shi, and then at Bai Shi: "Aunt Bai, do you know your mistake?"

Hearing the old lady's question, Mrs. Bai knew that she was asking herself to admit her mistakes and make amends, so that the old lady could speak for herself and prevent Mrs. Gu from really punishing herself.

Bai knelt on the ground, lowered her head and said, "It's all the concubine's fault, Madam please forgive me!"

Gu didn't look at her, but picked up the tea on the small table next to her, and took a few sips.

There was hatred in Bai's eyes, but she didn't dare to move an inch. In front of the marquis and the old man, she didn't dare to show any disrespect to Gu.As for Su Jingwei, she was young, and her anger and unwillingness were all written on her face.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Jingyi wondered in her heart: Is mother finally going to have Bai's seizures?She had seen the gold hairpin on Bai's head since she entered the door, now it seems that her mother may have seen it too, that's why she said what she just said.

The old lady saw that Gu Shi was sipping her tea calmly, her face was slightly annoyed, her right hand was tightly holding the crutch in her hand, as if she wanted to crush the crutch.

Finally, Mrs. Gu put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her lips slowly with a handkerchief, and then said slowly: "Since Aunt Bai knows the crime, why not tell me what I did wrong? Let everyone present Everyone listened carefully, so as not to say that I treated my concubine harshly, and I would be called a jealous wife."

Bai's hands were tightly clenched together, her long nails seemed to be inserted into her flesh, she took a few deep breaths, almost gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. The master is disrespectful; the lowly concubine claims to be a concubine in front of the mistress, which is really inappropriate, and it is said to be against etiquette; the lowly concubine sits down without the permission of the mistress, which is said to be disrespectful to the master! The lowly concubine did three things wrong , Madam please punish me!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu said expressionlessly: "Old Madam, in your opinion, how should I be punished?"

The old lady was very angry at these words, she was going to force herself to punish her niece.But how shrewd is the old lady, how could she do what she wanted so easily?
The old lady smiled and said: "Since it is a matter in your yard, you should be the one to deal with it. However, daughter-in-law, during your six months of convalescence, Mrs. Bai has spent a lot of effort in handling the affairs of the entire Houfu It's not easy. In these years, the Bai family has never made any mistakes in entering the mansion. This time, the mistake was also accidental. Maybe it was too much work, and it was dizzy for a while. If the punishment is too much, I'm afraid it will make people feel cold mind."

Gu raised her eyebrows, her face was frosty, she had already expected that the old lady would excuse her, so she deliberately didn't mention the golden hairpin on her head just now, as expected, the old lady was still very defensive.

Mrs. Gu sneered, "Yes, for the past six months, she has really worked hard! It's a pity that it's not for the residence, but for herself, right?"

The old lady tapped lightly on the ground with a cane in her hand, showing displeasure on her face: "What are you talking about? Isn't Mrs. Bai the one who waits for my mansion? Or is it my daughter-in-law? As soon as you return to the mansion, you will start to clean up the concubine's room." ?”

After hearing this, Jingyi's eyes flickered slightly, and said lightly: "The gold hairpin on Aunt Bai's head is so beautiful! Just looking at it, it looks familiar. I just can't remember where I saw it before."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Bai's bun.Jing Wei didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Bai's whole body trembled slightly, and she slumped on the ground.
