After a generation of doctors

Chapter 6

"Mother's baby moved last night, Xiaohuan took her daughter to take a shortcut from the back garden to see you, but her daughter fell into the water and almost drowned." Yu Zishan also lowered her head and cried, "My daughter has a cold and fever, and she is worried that something will happen to her mother. My aunt also kept saying that you are not good enough, so my daughter will do something wrong on the spur of the moment."

"Why didn't anyone tell me about your falling into the water? Did you see the doctor?" Mrs. Zhang was anxious. After all, she was her own daughter, so she must still feel distressed.

"The old lady and Aunt Liu only remember their daughter's recklessness, so they don't care about her condition, and they haven't seen the doctor come to this day." After Yu Zishan finished speaking, she coughed violently, until her face turned red.

The old lady's complexion changed, she knew about Yu Zishan's falling into the water, but seeing her alive and well last night, she didn't take it to heart.

Aunt Liu was also shocked, she didn't expect Yu Zishan to become smarter and learned to change the subject.

Seeing that the old lady's face was not looking good, she quickly explained: "I was guarding the door of the delivery room last night, and no one told me about the young lady falling into the water."

"Really, last night Xiaohuan intentionally caused me to fall into the water. I punished her to reflect in the yard, but I heard that she was called away by Aunt Liu. Didn't she tell you about it?" Yuzishan sneered.

"I'm wronged, I never met Xiaohuan, let alone called her away." Aunt Liu cried out wronged.

"The servants in my yard saw her walking towards your yard with their own eyes." Yu Zishan had already guessed that Aunt Liu would argue, but as long as she bites her to death, let's see what other tricks she can come up with.

"Miss, you must have evidence for what you say, and you can't just pour this dirty water on me with one-sided words." Aunt Liu's attitude began to become tough.

Seeing her affirmative expression, Yu Zishan couldn't help but wonder whether Xiaohuan really didn't look for her.

But Xiaohuan didn't come back all night, where could she go?
At this moment, Cuiqiao walked in quickly and shouted, "It's not good."

"What happened, how is it appropriate to be in such a panic." The old lady shouted majestically.

"The housekeeper found Xiaohuan's body in the lotus pond." Cuiqiao said with a pale face.

"What?" Aunt Liu stood up abruptly, and looked at Yu Zishan in disbelief, "Miss, what is going on?"

Yu Zishan was also very shocked, never expecting Xiaohuan to die.

"Madam, Mama Yuan is asking to see you outside." Cuiqiao said again.

"Let her in," said the old lady.

Mama Yuan walked in with red eyes.

"What happened to your leg?" Aunt Liu pretended to ask.

"Old slave is fine." Yuan's mother shook her head, knelt down in front of the old lady and cried, "Old lady, Xiaohuan died so unjustly."

"What's going on here? Why did you dive into the water after everything was fine?" asked the old lady.

"Last night, the eldest lady insisted on taking a shortcut from the lotus pond to see the madam. After accidentally falling into the water, she punished Xiaohuan to kneel in the yard. Xiaohuan was scared and guilty, so she jumped into the water when she couldn't think about it." Said with snot and tears.

"Sister Shan, is this true?" The old lady looked at Yu Zishan majestically.

"Grandmother, Xiaohuan caused me to fall into the water. I just want her to reflect on it, but I didn't let her go into the water. Maybe she has a guilty conscience, or there is something hidden in this incident." Yuzishan looked at Aunt Liu.

"Miss, what do you mean?" Aunt Liu said aggrievedly, "Last night you made the servants in your yard kneel down for no reason, and even Mama Yuan's legs were broken. You can't treat the servants so harshly. I ordered it."

"Aunt Liu, please don't blame the eldest lady. Old slaves are cheap. Even if the eldest lady lets the old slave die, the old slave would not dare to complain." Yuan's mother wiped her tears, looking very desolate.

"Our Hou Mansion doesn't have such a rule of treating servants harshly, and we don't know where Sister Shan learned it from." The old lady looked at Mrs. Zhang.

Yu Zishan frowned, and was about to say something, but Mrs. Zhang said to the old lady in fear, "Mother, it's all because the daughter-in-law can't teach her daughter well. Don't be angry."

Seeing Mrs. Zhang confessing her mistake, the old lady slowed down her tone and said earnestly, "Daughter-in-law, you also know that people like us are always stared at by people outside. As the eldest daughter, Sister Shan must lead by example. If this If the accusation of cruelty to the servants spreads, what face will we have in the Marquis Mansion, and when I go back, what face will I have to meet my ancestors?"

"My daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Zhang nodded in shame, looked at Yu Zishan sadly, and shouted, "I thought you were just spoiled, but I didn't expect you to be so mean that even the big maid around you was forced to death. I will punish you to go to the ancestral temple to plead guilty to your ancestors, and think about how you should behave."

The old lady said hypocritically to Mrs. Zhang: "Miss Shan is still young, so don't be too strict. Lock her up for three to five days, and just have an explanation to the servants."

Originally, Mrs. Zhang only planned to lock up Yuzishan for a few days, but after hearing what the old lady said, she resolutely said: "If only a few days will cure her temper, it will take at least half a month."

The old lady was really satisfied this time, anyway, it was Mrs. Zhang who wanted to be locked up, but she persuaded her.

Yu Zishan looked at Zhang Shi coldly, feeling very disappointed in her heart.

She understood now that this Mrs. Zhang was a drag, let alone dealing with the old lady and Aunt Liu, she even had to guard against being stabbed in the back by her.

Yu Zishan didn't explain, but Mei Xiang became a little anxious, and persuaded Zhang in a low voice: "Ma'am, Missy is still sick, why don't you punish her after she recovers?"

Mrs. Zhang hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the old lady.

The old lady didn't make a sound, but her face became gloomy.

Aunt Liu raised her head, deliberately exposed her red and swollen cheeks to Mrs. Zhang, and persuaded: "Ma'am, the eldest lady is a rich man, so let's forget about punishment."

Mrs. Zhang's originally soft heart hardened again, and she said without hesitation: "I think she still has the mood to torment the servant, and this illness is not considered serious, so let it be."

Mei Xiang anxiously looked at the young lady, if the young lady was willing to succumb and intercede, the madam would definitely let go.

She saw everything that happened last night. In this mansion, only the eldest lady is facing the madam. The old madam and Aunt Liu are just talking about each other, why the madam doesn't understand.

"Since my mother punished me to go to the ancestral hall, then my daughter can go." Yuzi said lightly.

Mrs. Zhang has been deceived by the lard. With the old lady and Aunt Liu around, even if she knelt down and begged for mercy, it would be useless.

Yu Zishan originally thought that it was an ordinary house fight, and it would be no problem to deal with an aunt as her daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect the matter to be so complicated.
