Second-hand lady

Chapter 73

Mrs. Zhen Guogong has always loved her daughter, but now she heard that her daughter fell into the water, how can she sit still?The complexion changed suddenly, and there was no time to quarrel with the sharp-mouthed third daughter-in-law. Even the husband didn't look at him, so he got up and walked out quickly.

Wen Liang was also worried about his adoptive daughter, so he went out with Ru Cui, Wen Yun, Wen An, and others also wanted to express their concern for their sister and nephew, and they all went to care. , finally couldn't sit still and got up and followed.

It was the end of February at this time, and although the sun was shining brightly, the water in the pool was still chilly. The two girls, big and small, who were fished ashore were all wet, their lips were purple from the cold, and they looked really pitiful.When Mrs. Zhen Guogong arrived, she saw her daughter trembling like a drowned chicken and crying sadly. On the other hand, the gentle and righteous son who appeared out of nowhere, with an angry expression on his face, looked thin and weak, but was very energetic .

"Wanwan, what's the matter? How do you slaves serve the young lady? You let the young lady fall into the water, hit twenty boards each, and fine half a year's silver! Why don't you take the young lady down to change clothes? The people in the kitchen are doing Well, hurry up and make a bowl of ginger soup for Miss..."

As soon as Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife came, she began to curse, which made everyone a little confused.You must know that Mrs. Zhen Guogong has always acted with kindness and tolerance, and she is the most kind, but this time I don't know if she was suffocated by Miss Rucui before, and she was holding her breath. The incident of her daughter falling into the water finally made her explode. They all vent their anger on others.

When Mrs. Zhen Guogong glared at her sternly, everyone hurriedly went to do their own things.

Except for the two wet children, there are some small ones here, all of whom looked terrified, Wen Liang slightly frowned, his expression calm, and he didn't speak.On the contrary, Ru Cui was rarely angry when she saw Wen Yanping like this.

"Yan Ping, how is it? Is it uncomfortable? Why did you fall into the water? Tell us, we will make decisions for you." Ru Cui asked repeatedly, then looked at it, and said to Wen Ce: "Fifth brother, please excuse me." Change your clothes for Yan Ping." Wen Ce's age is similar to Yan Ping's, and Yan Ping doesn't like to wear women's clothes, Ru Cui can only do so now.

Wen Ce looked at his father's face, then at the third elder brother Wen Liang whose eyes were pale and could not be seen, and said rather obediently: "Sister-in-law, needless to say, I have a new set of clothes that I haven't worn. Just right for my nephew."

At this time, Wen Liang finally spoke, "Then I would like to thank Fifth Brother."

The boy pursed his lips and smiled at him, thinking that it would be good for him in the future to sell third brother.

Seeing that Rucui took the child away like a baby, and Mrs. Zhen Guogong was still angry, Qin hurriedly said: "Mother, let my sister go and change clothes first."

It was a flurry again, and after the two children who fell into the water had changed into clean clothes and were forced to feed ginger soup by the adults, everyone sat down again, and each other looked bad.

"What's going on? Why did the two children fall into the water?" Duke Zhen asked angrily the women and maids kneeling below.

Seeing that Duke Zhen was angry, everyone fell silent and did not have the guts to speak out.The women secretly complained, murmured and couldn't speak, fearing that they would make the master angry if they spoke up, and they would not be able to please them then.

On the contrary, Mrs. Zhen Guo wanted to seek justice from her daughter, so she called the youngest Wen Ce, and said kindly, "Brother Ce, you were there at the time, and you can see clearly, so tell us what's going on?" Wen Ce just said A concubine, who is still young, and needs her aunt to take care of her, she can't believe that this slippery boy is not toward her.He is smart, and he naturally knows what to say to his own benefit.

Seeing his father and third brother looking at him at the same time, Wen Ce felt a little nervous, and his aunt had something to say, which made him a little at a loss. Pay attention to the road under your feet, so you accidentally fell into the water."

"Dispute?" Lord Zhen snorted coldly, "Where did you learn the rules?" Sure enough, it's not the blood of the Wen family, so it's easy to cause trouble.At the moment, Lord Zhen is looking at the skinny little child as not pleasing to the eye.

Rucui rolled her eyes at Zhen Guogong's wife and said, "Father, our Yanping is a good boy, and the rules are good." No matter how bad his own child is, he doesn't like to hear others say it's bad.

Wen Liang also smiled and said: "Yes, father, Yan Ping is pure and kind-hearted, respects and loves the elders and is kind to the younger generation, that's why I adopted her as my adopted son." With such a doting expression, Duke Zhen almost wanted to take a picture of her. table.

Listening to the couple singing together, Mrs. Zhen Guogong almost died of anger. Are these two people mocking her Wanwan as an unruly and unfriendly junior?

Wen Wan was also very angry, looked at Wen Liang aggrieved, and said sadly: "Third brother, he was the one who said he would beat me first, and he has no education at all. I am an elder, how can he say he wants to beat me? It was not intentional to quarrel with him. Third brother, I, I, I...why do you accept such a vulgar and ugly child as a foster child? You will be laughed at like this, I don’t want third brother to be laughed at . . . " and cried out with a wow.

Seeing her daughter crying sadly, Mrs. Zhen Guogong hurriedly hugged her to comfort her. At the same time, she was very satisfied with her daughter's preemptive action. Seeing the bluntness, she could get better eye drops. Her husband and stepson couldn't do it if they wanted to get angry. After all, her daughter is doing everything for his reputation.

However, Wen Yanping is not a child who will not fight back after being beaten. She struggled to survive in the den of thieves at a young age. She didn't want to be wronged in vain, and she wasn't happy that her titular grandparents picked on her cheap mother, so she said immediately: "Fourth aunt, Yanping didn't even hit you, it was you I accidentally fell into the water while avoiding it, and I was pulled down by you too. And did the fourth aunt forget what you said earlier? If you didn’t speak ill of my mother, would I have said that I would beat you? My mother has What's wrong? She's your father's famous matchmaker who is marrying in. She's your sister-in-law. You don't respect your elders yourself, and you even say that I don't respect you..."

Seeing the child's stubborn face, Rucui held her in her arms, patted her on the back to comfort her.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong sneered and said: "At such a young age, you always yelled to beat someone. How did your parents teach you? Wan Wan is also your aunt, how could a nephew want to beat her aunt?"

"I didn't hit it." Wen Yanping stared.

"She was so scared that she fell into the water if I didn't hit her. If I hit her, would she still die?" Mrs. Zhen Guogong was aggressive.

"Mother, it's not entirely Yan Ping's fault." Wen Liang said, with a look of patience in his brows and eyes, seeing the little girl looking at him anxiously, Wen Liang smiled gently at her, signaling her to rest assured.Now that he is her father, he naturally wants to protect her. "On the contrary, I'm curious about what the fourth sister scolded your third sister-in-law to make Yanping so angry. I don't understand Yanping's temperament, but he's not really angry, but he won't say he wants to hit someone."

Facing those peach blossom eyes with a cold glint, Wen Wan suddenly felt palpitations, lowered her head and could not speak.She was happy to say it at the time, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Third Brother, otherwise...

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife was slightly startled, and she knew that her daughter's outspoken temperament was absolutely not good. She was immediately angry and anxious, secretly hating Wen Yanping's provocation, and annoyed at her daughter's stupid and straightforward character. How can a person who is not so stupid give birth to such a straightforward daughter?
"Brother Liang, Wanwan has always respected you. If I said something, I believe I was worried about you, you..."

"Mother, I know, Fourth Sister has a heart." Wen Liang interrupted her, "It's just that I really want to know what Fourth Sister scolded my wife at that time, which made Yanping so angry that he wanted to beat someone." The girl was so annoyed that she wanted to hit someone, which probably wasn't a good thing. Although Wen Liang didn't want to embarrass his sister, he didn't want the two girls to be wronged either.

"This..." Mrs. Zhen Guogong was even more anxious. Her daughter's mouth was very tricky. If she said something bad and spread it, would she still be a human being in the future?Thinking about it, he looked sternly at the maids and women in the room, and absolutely told them to shut up, so as not to go outside to chew their tongues.

Wen Yun couldn't see it, he originally wanted to wait for his father to make a decision, but his wife kept pulling his sleeves to signal him to help his aunt, and he knew in his heart that it was best for him to help his aunt under such circumstances. Then he said: "Third brother, forget it, just let the fourth sister admit her mistake, don't force her."

Wen Liang smiled, "Brother, Fourth Sister is going to get married in the future, if she doesn't change her temper, she will be the one who will suffer in the future."

When Wen Wan heard what he said, her eyes were red, tears fell, and her heart was about to break. How could the third brother help outsiders force her?Obviously she is the third brother's biological sister.

Mrs. Zhen Guogong felt sorry for her daughter, and Qin Shi, in order to please her mother-in-law, spoke together. The room was very lively for a while, and soon the building went seriously wrong, and even Ru Cui was dragged into it, and she began to repeat the old saying.

Zhen Guogong, who had been silent all this time, saw that the third son, who never cared about things, was aggressive. He was surprised and also had a headache, but Wanwan was a legitimate daughter, and he was also in pain. He didn't want to be forced like this. There was no end, and finally he said: "Okay, since the two children accidentally fell into the water, don't pursue it any further, let them apologize to each other, and don't do this kind of thing again in the future, so as not to be laughed at by outsiders. "

Seeing his tough attitude, everyone was really angry, so they kept silent.

Lord Zhen Guo looked at the calm third son, feeling a little nervous, and asked: "Brother Liang, do you have any objections?" Then he said with a straight face: "I'm not dead yet, one or two Arguing in front of me. Ma'am, Wanwan should be disciplined in the future, so as not to lose the face of the Duke of Zhenguo. There are still a few of you who are having a good life, so why make a fuss."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong almost couldn't hold back her face, gouging Ru Cui and Wen Yanping bitterly, but Wen Liang didn't dare to stare.Qin Shi was also very aggrieved, and felt ruthless in her heart. She absolutely must not let Xia Shi continue to be complacent and arrogant.Ru Cui is very calm, she looks like she regards her husband as the sky, so she won't be that early citron.

Wen Liang looked at his father, smiled slowly, and said lightly: "Since father said so, then forget it, but the servants in this mansion are all big-hearted, and they don't care about serving the master, so let's change them. "

Duke Zhen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, but it was rare for his son to make a request, Duke Zhen would naturally not refuse, after thinking about it, he handed over the matter to his eldest son.Only Mrs. Zhen Guo's face became more and more ugly. She knew in her heart that this stepson wanted to cut off her connections so that he could be placed in the mansion. Thinking that decades of business management had been ruined because of his words, she suddenly became furious.

In the end, Duke Zhen came forward and dealt with it again. Even a few young children were grounded, and then the matter was exposed. Wen Liang got what he wanted, and left with Ru Cui and his daughter.

They had just left, and Mother Lin, who had never been able to find a chance to complain, limped over to report to Lord Zhen that she was ordered to deliver a message to the Grand Master's Mansion today, crying about someone who let two foxes scare her into falling over. His evil deeds, he was given enough eye drops, and now the Duke of Zhen was so angry that he scolded him for marrying an unfilial daughter-in-law. Then he turned around and ordered the wife of the Duke of Zhen to pick a good-bred and innocent girl and send it to his son's house for him to take over the house. .

Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife felt refreshed, so naturally she would not refuse. She also hated the third daughter-in-law who had disgraced her several times. It's a pity that she didn't live in Zhen Guogong's mansion, otherwise she would definitely come here every day to set the rules.

At this time, the Qin family went to Mrs. Zhen Guogong's ear and whispered: "Mother, isn't there a girl in our natal family who is about to marry? She is the daughter of my aunt, who is not high-ranking but has a big heart. It made my uncle and his wife feel a little bit at odds, and my mother's family was a little anxious about how to arrange her marriage. Look at the third brother..."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong knew a little bit about it. After thinking about it, she thought it was feasible, and then asked about the girl's appearance, personality, talent, and so on. She got what she wanted, and decided on the candidate at the moment. woman.
