Lady Zhao

Chapter 25

Zhao Wenwan knew that her notoriety must have something to do with Ye Shi's secretly spreading rumors, otherwise, it would be known to everyone in the mansion based on the few maids who made good friends with Ding Xiang?The matter has calmed down on the surface, but Zhao Wenwan has no intention of letting go of the perpetrator.

The intrigue in the maid yard is no less than that in the house. The maids who gossip before have been acting with their tails between their legs these days. The low-browed clerks standing under the eaves are more respectful than usual. The mother-in-law who was always sitting in front of the hanging flower door to blow the wind also hid in her own room and did not come out. Duke Dingguo's mansion suddenly calmed down, and the mansion only heard the cry of Zhizhi.

Zhao Wenwan sent Xueyan away twice, and the clever servant girl saw her intentions, and soon pushed out the instigator of the rumors, even her daily deeds were brought out, and she was on the cusp of accepting everyone's criticism for a while. Spit stars.Zhao Wenwan only waited for about the time, and for the crime of destroying the young lady's reputation, he was punished with a staff for twenty days and closed the firewood room for twenty days.

This is due to the fact that she is Ye's married woman, so she will be punished lightly, and she will not be able to stir up troubles if she keeps her breath.Zhao Wenwan's punishment was well-founded. Even if Mrs. Ye wanted to protect her, it was difficult to keep anyone. What's more, she felt that she had been slapped in the face. Then she lost a lot of weight and looked tired.

Zhao Hongsheng looked at his wife so gloomy, and thought of what Zhao's mother had done, it's hard to say that there was no kind of connivance from Mrs. Ye in it, and he lost the thought of being gentle with her, so he left a sentence of discipline with all his heart, and went to Aunt Xia in Lanyuan instead.

It was a very good day, Lin Qingyue took Lin Qingshuang to the center of the lake to feed the koi, and the wet nurse Zheng Mama who brought them from the Lin Mansion to take care of the two of them ran behind her out of breath, followed by the three maids.The two children ran fast, holding on to the railings in the corridor and looking around.

In the distance is an octagonal pavilion that meanders and connects. It is the pavilion where Zhao Wenwan played the piano. The pavilion is made of white marble. There is a string of wind chimes on each corner, which jingle when blown by the wind. Pleasant voice.

Brother Yue thought it was a good place, so he yelled at his younger sister to hurry up, and entered the pavilion first after leaving Mama Zheng and a group of maidservants, but found that someone had already occupied the place inside, and the small figure was Rui Ge at a glance. Son, the latter was sleeping soundly on the stone table, with a lotus-white arm resting on his small face, his chubby cheek was sunken, and the other half was round and chubby, just looking at it made people want to poke it.

"Qingshuang." Lin Qingyue whispered to her sister who stretched out her claws unconsciously, and stared at her disapprovingly.

Rui Ge'er opened his eyes slightly when he heard the movement, looked at the extra people in the gazebo in a daze, and gave a soft cry. "Cousin Yue?"

Because of what his grandmother said earlier, Brother Yue had already listed the little Douding in front of him as the second person he hated. Seeing that there was no one around him, he felt more and more that this bastard was nothing in the mansion, even with a lot of eyes in his eyes. With a bit of contempt, he snorted nasally as a response.

Brother Rui woke up completely at this moment. He played hide-and-seek with the maids in the yard, found a clean place and fell asleep unconsciously after listening to the sound. It was because his mother forced him to recite it last night. Poetry is too sleepy.Probably also sensed Brother Yue's dislike for him, so he didn't rush to dislike him, and waited for the maid to find him with his short and fat arms.

Ruige'er looks exquisite, with very clear eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, which is just like Aunt Xia's.Mingming is the youngest, but he likes to look at the little adults in a serious manner and amuse them.Lin Qingshuang liked this little cousin very much in her heart, so her elder brother could only secretly wave and smile amiably.

"Hey, we've taken this place, you go somewhere else." Lin Qingyue said arrogantly, he is so young, he doesn't like people, the bad idea he can think of is not to bring people to play with, and to exclude him .

Rui Geer glanced at him, but didn't respond, this is his home, why does this person command himself, well, Dabai Mantou also has a temper.

Brother Yue was ignored and felt depressed. Even a little bastard dared to put on airs in front of him, but there was nothing he could do.

Lin Qingshuang looked back from time to time as she walked, always felt that it was pitiful for Rui Ge'er to look at alone, bit her lip, and when Yue Ge'er let go of her hand, she ran to Rui Ge'er, blinking her bright eyes Said, "Let's play together!"

"..." Brother Yue looked at Teammate Pig's younger sister, and his chest felt even tighter.

Rui Geer didn't expect Lin Qingshuang to invite him, and felt that she was close to him, and at a similar age, he still liked to play together.

Lin Qingyue ignored his answers, and the three of them were together. The water here is shallower and there are more fish. Lin Qingshuang took out half a white steamed bun from her purse, broke a few pieces, and distributed them to the other two, "Let's Feed the carp."

Lin Qingyue finished feeding first, and caught a glimpse of Mama Zheng holding her chubby body out of breath on the other side of the corridor, looking funny, and laughed sympathetically.Later, I felt bored and wanted to feed some more. It was very interesting for those fiery red koi to swim over to snatch food, but there were no more steamed buns, so I got the idea of ​​Rui Geer and snatched it from Rui Ge. Ruige'er blinked, Lin Qingyue giggled smirk while holding the steamed bun.

Rui Geer reacted and shouted, "Give me back the steamed buns." He was only three and a half years old, Lin Qingyue was six years old, half a head taller than Rui Geer, and deliberately raised his head to provoke, Rui Geer chased and snatched it, he suddenly I think this is the real fun, "Brother Rui, come and get it."

Lin Qingshuang was on the side trying to persuade her brother not to play tricks on her cousin, but Brother Yue would never listen to her.

Brother Rui was tired of chasing after him, so he curled his lips, "I won't play with you anymore, I'll go find my eldest sister." comfort.

Lin Qingyue disliked the eldest cousin the most. Hearing her name, he immediately stopped in his tracks, pinched his waist aggressively and said, "If you dare to play with cousin Wan, Shuang'er and I will play with you in the future."

"Why can't you play with Eldest Sister?" Rui Geer thought this person was strange enough, and asked rhetorically.

Lin Qingyue's words were even more formidable, "She has a father, no mother, she is an uneducated thing, what good can you do if you play with her!"

Mrs. Lin said this when she taught Lin Qingshuang a lesson. That time when Lin Qingshuang got Zhao Wenwan's bracelet and wanted to go to Zhao Wenwan, Mrs. Lin opened her mouth and reprimanded her like that, and Brother Yue remembered it.

"Eldest sister is a good person, I don't allow you to speak ill of elder sister." When Rui Ge'er was younger, Mrs. Ye scolded him when no one was around. His eyes turned red, and he knew it was the worst words.Now Brother Yue scolded the person he likes like scolding him together, and Brother Rui became anxious immediately.

"I'll just say, I'll just say... uneducated stuff."

Ruige'er still said that it was unfavorable, and his face was red with anger. He rushed over and punched Yuegeer with his small fist. Dare to hit me."

Then they lay on Rui Ge'er, and the two quickly wrestled into a ball. Rui Ge'er suffered from a small strength, but asked Yue Ge'er to scratch his fleshy tender face a few times, so anxious that Lin Qingshuang cried and tried to persuade him to fight.The mother-in-law and servant girl, who were sitting in the shade not far away, heard the movement, and it was broken at first glance, and rushed over to separate the two, but the two got into a fight, and they couldn't separate so easily, and they were afraid of hurting the two little ones. ancestors.

"You are not allowed to speak ill of my eldest sister, you apologize to her." Although Brother Rui was injured, he still did not forget to defend his eldest sister Zhao Wenwan.

Lin Qingyue got the upper hand, stood up with the support of her mother-in-law, condescendingly looked down at the little one lying on the ground and smiled mockingly, "Hmph, I didn't say anything wrong."

Rui Ge'er suddenly burst into anger, stood up with effort, and suddenly rushed over to push Yue Yue who was complacent, his steps were unsteady, he staggered, and fell backwards uncontrollably.

Mama Zheng and a group of little girls reached out their hands in a hurry, but they didn't even grab Yue Ge'er's clothes. At the same time, Rui Ge'er's wet nurse and Lan Yuan's maid also came from the opposite direction, and everyone watched from a distance. At that scene, everyone opened their mouths wide in shock, and only heard a "plop", Lin Qingyue fell into the lake, his face was not as calm as before, and he struggled and shouted for help full of panic.

Lin Qingshuang was crying and shouting, obviously frightened.Rui Geer looked at the crowd rushing up, and the frightened eyes of the nanny hugging him tightly, and realized that he seemed to be in trouble...

For a while, screams, cries, and calls for help were all mixed together, creating a chaotic scene.Zheng's mother hurriedly called the water-savvy boy over, and quickly fished Yue Ge'er up.

When the latter was rescued, nothing major happened, he just choked on a few sips of water and trembled all over. Mama Zheng patted her chest in shock, and then remembered to ask someone to invite Mrs. Lin.Rui Ge'er's nanny, Mother Feng, held the little one in her arms. Seeing the situation, she hurriedly sent the little maid to Lanyuan to invite her aunt to come over.

Zheng's mother found a blanket to wrap Yue Ge'er, while comforting him softly, lest he might be surprised.Cuixiang, a maid beside her, saw the movement on the other side, stood up with resentment on her face, and said domineeringly, "This is killing people! No one wants to leave today, wait for Madam to come to seek justice for brother Yue .”

Chunliu, Lan Yuan's personal maid serving Rui Ge'er, saw the red marks on Rui Ge'er's face early in the morning. It's not good to punish them to take care of them, just for such a young child who can do such a heavy hand, and I can't feel any sympathy for that Yue brother.

"Obviously it was your young master who bullied our young master. If your young master accidentally fell into the water, how could we blame our young master." Chunliu was also sharp-tongued, and immediately replied.

"Nonsense, I clearly saw that it was the young master who pushed my young master."

"My young master is so small, how can he push your young master."

The two talked each other, and for some reason, someone moved first, and Chunliu covered his face, "Okay, I've hit someone."

"What's wrong with beating you?" Cuixiang said nonchalantly, and even shook her hands, clearly disdainful.

The two pinched each other for a while before Mama Zheng yelled, "What are you doing, don't you think it's not messy enough? Why don't you hurry up and serve the young master." But there was no trace of blame in the words.

Mother Feng looked at Chunliu who had been beaten, and continued with a sneer, "Your girl from the Lin family is so powerful, it depends on the master when you slap her face, this is at Dingguo Duke's Mansion!"

Hearing this, Cui Xiang snapped her mouth, "It's just my aunt's maid, if you beat me, you beat me, what can you do with me?"
