good wife

Chapter 15
The old lady and others looked closely at the hairpin on Bai's head, and they were also shocked.But the old man and Su Wei were furious when they saw it!
The old lady shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! You, a concubine, dare to wear such jewelry?"

Su Wei looked at Bai Shi contemptuously and said: "I don't even look at my identity, the crested hairpin that only the mistress can wear, can you wear it?"

In this great abyss, concubines are the most valued.Crested hairpins can only be worn by regular wives and legitimate daughters.And this is only the gold, silver, and jade hairpins with phoenix heads and no phoenix tails that can only be worn by wealthy families other than the royal family, so it is called phoenix head hairpins.

Jingyi only knew about it when she heard about it from Madam He.The crested hairpin on Bai's head was exactly one of the gold hairpins that Su Jingwei took away from her that day.That day Jingyi knew that Su Jingwei would come to her yard early in the morning, and she heard from Nanny He that Su Jingwei often coaxed good things from her while her mother was recuperating.Therefore, that day Jingyi deliberately scattered the few gold hairpins left by her mother on the long table at random, just to attract Su Jingwei's attention.

Two months ago, Su Jingwei wore this crested hairpin to pay her respects to Mrs. Bai, but she was scolded by Mrs. Bai and confiscated the hairpin.

These days, Su Wei has never been to the backyard. When he comes here occasionally, he just asks the old lady to greet him and then leaves. He never takes a look at Mrs. Bai.Bai's heart was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.She had secretly worn this crested hairpin in her yard several times, but no one noticed.Afterwards, her courage gradually grew, and she felt that the old lady was her own aunt, and since Mrs. Gu was not in the house, who could do anything to her?

In recent days, Mrs. Bai came to the old lady's place to pay her respects, and she also wore this crested hairpin.I don't know if the old lady didn't see it, or she saw it and pretended not to know.In this way, Bai's courage became even greater, and she wore it openly, showing it around in the house, for fear that others would not know that she had surpassed it.I don't want to be caught today.

At this time, Su Jingwei also realized that her mother had committed a big taboo!She even dared to wear the crested hairpin that only a regular wife is qualified to wear privately, this is going to be sent out of the house by her husband's family!Su Jingwei thought of this, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Father, mother, it's all my fault. I borrowed jewelry from my sister, but I didn't expect there to be a crested hairpin in it. Please forgive me, father and mother." !"

A glint of darkness flashed in Jingyi's eyes, what a Su Jingwei, this means that she deliberately put the crested hairpin in the jewelry, trying to frame their mother and daughter.Jingyi kept her expression on her face, as if she didn't understand Su Jingwei's words, instead she smiled sweetly and said: "Yes. Grandpa, I remembered. Before I left the house, my sister came to talk to me once. Seeing the long The few gold hairpins on the table, my sister said she liked it very much, so she borrowed them. But at the time, I didn’t look closely, maybe there was a crested hairpin inside.”

Jingyi's words, which sounded like she was defending the Bai family, pushed the Bai family's mother and daughter into the abyss together!A concubine, Xiao Xiang's concubine's jewelry, actually took the things away openly!Borrow what?Obviously it's because Jingyi is young and easy to deceive!The concubine's concubines saw her wearing jewelry that exceeded the rules, and instead of punishing her, she took it for her own use. There are no rules at all!

Su Wei heard Jingyi's words, and said angrily: "As a concubine, you don't know how to serve your wife well, and as Jingwei's biological mother, you actually teach your daughter like this? Humph! How dare you lie to your sister! It's lawless!"

At the end of Su Wei's speech, he patted the table again, and the teacup on the table was shaken slightly, and some tea overflowed.

The old lady originally wanted to say something nice for Bai, but now, seeing that Su Wei and the old man were furious, she didn't dare to say anything for Bai.She glanced at Jingyi thoughtfully, this girl looked innocent, when she spoke just now, she also had a childlike face, she should not have so much thought.Could it be just a coincidence?
In the house, there was silence.At this moment, the curtain outside the door was raised, and it was Su Qian who arrived.

Su Qian entered the room and saluted everyone, looked at Bai Shi who was slumped on the ground, and his face tightened.Then he looked at Jing Wei who was kneeling beside him, and seeing her weeping softly with her head down, Su Qian was annoyed in his heart: It's really useless!

Because Su Qian couldn't see the clues from the two of them, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to stand aside with his head lowered, so that no one could clearly see his expression and eyes.

Su Wei glanced at Su Qian indifferently, and said to Gu Shi: "You are the mistress of the family. This matter is because you and Jingyi have been wronged, so you should deal with it. This concubine committed a crime." Big taboo, even if you drive her out of the mansion, no one can say no, and you don't have to worry about her face. By the way, I received a letter from Qing'er yesterday, and he said that he would be with you in a few days. Big Brother is back to Beijing together."

What Su Wei said later was for the old lady. Jingyi's uncle is General Weiyuan, who was ordered to guard the northwest two years ago.When he went, he took Su Qing away with him.Su Wei said this now because he wanted to tell the old lady that Gu's eldest brother was going back to Beijing. If he knew that his own sister had suffered such a big grievance in the Hou's mansion, he might not give up easily.

As expected, the old lady's eyes flickered, and her hands unconsciously clenched her cane.The old lady took a look at Su Qian, took a long breath and said, "Wei'er is right. Let's deal with this matter according to my daughter-in-law's wishes."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu didn't show any joy on her face, but a look of worry on the contrary.Jingyi looked at it and knew that this was because her mother was missing her elder brother.

Jingyi approached Mrs. Gu and said lightly: "Mother, elder brother and uncle are going back to Beijing, we should be happy! Don't let irrelevant people spoil mother's mood, and make mother sad for nothing!"

Su Ming also persuaded: "Yes, mother, we will see uncle and elder brother soon. Mother should be happy!"

Mrs. Gu smiled softly, looked at the two children tenderly, then turned to the old lady and said: "The old lady also said just now, at least she should think about it for the sake of her raising children for Lord Hou, please forgive me." She once. It's just that the rules in this mansion can't be messed up. Why don't you let her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, and then fine her a year's monthly money. After kneeling for three days, she will be fined twenty more, as a warning! As for Jingwei, after all, she is also the flesh and blood of Lord Hou, so she will be confined in her own yard for three months, and then find a few senior nuns to teach her well. After all, she is young, so it is still me Miss Qianjin of the Hou Mansion. What do father and madam think?"

The old lady nodded. Is it the daughter of everyone who came from a family background, or someone who understands the truth and knows the affection of Mrs. Gu Nian.

Jingyi blinked her eyes, her mother said 'father and old lady' instead of 'father and mother', which shows that mother and grandmother are not close.Could it be that the mother's matter has something to do with this old lady?
The old lady had a half-smile on her face: "That's fine too. Mrs. Bai, why don't Jingwei thank Madam for her generosity!"
