good wife

Chapter 21 Unexpected (2)
Jingyi raised her eyebrows lightly, raised her head, straightened her body, looked straight at the old lady with her eyes, and asked with a puzzled face: "Old lady, I don't know what mistake Jingyi has made? She has offended the old lady People are so angry?"

The old lady snorted heavily, knocked her crutch on the ground again, and said sharply, "What did you do outside the mansion? Did you forget it so quickly?"

Jingyi's eyes darkened, could it be that she was asking for help outside to hurt people?But such a small matter is a kind deed, why is the old lady angry?It seems that the people around him are not clean.

Jingyi settled down, and said in a low voice: "Don't be angry, old lady, Jingyi really doesn't know what mistake she made, please tell me clearly!"

The old lady stared at Jingyi's face and looked again and again, but she saw that there was no panic on her face, and even under her angry reprimand, she did not show the slightest sign of fear.It seems that this girl is not simple!

Seeing that the old lady just stared at Jingyi, but did not speak, Bai couldn't help feeling a little anxious.Both the Marquis and the Old Master are not in the house now, if she is not punished now, I am afraid that the punishment will not be completed when the two of them come back.

Mrs. Bai brought tea, brought it to the old lady, and said lightly: "Old lady, drink the tea first, let me be calm, don't get angry and hurt your body because of these trivial matters. Now the Hou Mansion is not the same as before. The eldest son was sealed at a young age. He became an official, and the third master was dismissed from his official position at this time. Now, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at our house? I hope they can catch us. The old lady is our waiting house The backbone of the Hou family, everyone in the Hou family still has to rely on you!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu glared at Mrs. Bai angrily. There is nothing to mention, but mentioning the dismissal of the third child at this time is obviously adding fuel to the fire!
Sure enough, the old lady listened and tapped the floor tiles heavily with her crutches.Angrily said: "Who allowed you to send those wounded people to Ping'an Hall without permission? Do you think you are the only one with a good heart? Why are there so many people on the street who don't care about others, but you want to meddle in other people's business? Do you think you are the only one with a bad heart? ?”

Jingyi lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, it was really for this matter.It seems that the old lady is deliberately looking for trouble.I'm afraid that the Bai family has encouraged this matter for a long time!

Mrs. Gu glanced at Jingyi, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, Yiyi is still young, since this matter has been done, let's forget about it. As for the silver taels posted in the Ping'an Hall, the daughter-in-law will make up for it."

After hearing this, the old lady sneered: "Daughter-in-law, do you really think that this matter is just a loss of some money? Why don't you think about it, the one that surprised the carriage is the Duke Hu's mansion! That is the queen's natal family! This matter If it gets out, the common people will only say that the Duke Huguo's mansion intentionally hurt people, but my Pingnanhou mansion is a good person who saves lives and heals the wounded!"

When Gu Shi heard this, she was shocked.She didn't think of this level, what should she do now?

On the other hand, Mrs. Bai showed complacency, looked at Mrs. Gu, and smiled provocatively, "Sister, could it be that you are confused? If such rumors are really spread, I am afraid that the Duke Protector's Mansion will be completely offended, and even It will also make the empress angry at our Houfu! This is a big deal!"

Gu Shi glared at her, and said loudly: "Shut up! I'm talking to my mother, how can it be your turn to interrupt!"

After hearing this, Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little worried. What her mother said was a bit serious. 'Bad concubine'!I'm afraid that the old lady will become even more angry when she hears this!

Sure enough, when she looked up, Bai's expression was unwilling and resentful.The old lady frowned tightly, and the anger on her face was even stronger than before.

The old lady said harshly: "Since this matter has already been done, Jingyi, you should kneel in the ancestral hall. When did you reflect on yourself, and when will you come out again. Mrs. Gu, you have no way to teach your daughter, so you should also think about it behind closed doors. The matters in the mansion should be taken care of by Mrs. Bai first."

After hearing this, Jingyi looked up at the old lady, with a half-smile expression on her face, which made the old lady feel hairy.Jingyi said coldly: "Madam, this matter is not fair. Yiyi did nothing wrong and would not go to the ancestral hall to kneel, and my mother is even more right. Why do you need to hand over the power of the family?"

After hearing this, the old lady pointed at Jingyi angrily, but she was speechless.Seeing her, Mrs. Bai hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady, don't be angry, don't be angry! Second Miss, please stop saying a word, see if you make old lady angry?"

Jingyi listened to Bai Shi acting there by herself, without saying a word, but walked to Gu Shi's side, her little hand was held by Gu Shi, and Gu Shi's eyes were full of concern and worry.

Seeing that Jingyi didn't listen to her, the old lady got angry and stood up, with her upper body slightly forward, her hands resting on the crutches, her chest was heaving. "Okay, okay! She really is a good and filial granddaughter!"

Everyone could hear the irony, but Jingyi didn't notice it and wasn't afraid.

Just as the old lady was about to speak again, the curtain outside the door was lifted, and the old man and Su Wei entered the room.

The two noticed that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and also saw the old lady's sullen look.

Su Wei said: "What's wrong with mother? Who made mother angry?"

The old lady snorted softly: "I'm going to ask your good wife!"

The old man frowned slightly, but did not speak.Su Wei was startled when he heard this, and looked at Gu Shi and Jing Yi who were beside him.

Mrs. Gu told the ins and outs of the matter again, and looked at the old man timidly, "Father, Yiyi is still a child, how could I know that there are many twists and turns? Please don't blame Yiyi, father."

As Gu Shi said, the corners of her eyes were already wet, while Jingyi knelt directly in front of the old man, straightened her upper body and said, "Grandfather, Yiyi did this without consideration, but Yiyi just saw that those people were too pitiful. Only then did I come to the rescue! This matter was done by Yiyi alone, please don’t blame mother, don’t punish mother!”

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and glanced at the old lady. The old lady's face was a little unnatural, but she straightened herself up, her face was calm, but she didn't dare to look directly at the old lady.

The old man got up and helped Yiyi up with his own hands, "Yiyi, this is the right thing to do. Don't worry too much. What your grandmother said is just to make you think about things in the future. Well, it's getting late , let’s go and have lunch with grandpa.”

After finishing speaking, he took Jingyi's hand and strode out.

The matter was settled under the old man's intervention. The old lady and the Bai family were naturally not reconciled. They were about to be in charge of the middle supporter of the waiting mansion, but they were easily dismissed by the old man's few words.How can they swallow this breath?

But unexpected things happened one after another!

The next day, the queen sent people to present many rare treasures, and named them for Jing Yi.

Another day later, the emperor sent someone to deliver a decree, openly commending Jing Yi, and even praised Ping Nanhou and Gu Shi, and rewarded a lot of gold, silver and jewels.
