Within reason and beyond expectation.

There was such a big commotion here, it was impossible for the Madam Tai not to know about it. But the Madam Tai's strong attitude and direct intervention in her affairs still surprised Shiyi Niang.

Everyone has a bottom line. As a mother, Jing'er is her bottom line.

If it was other matters, facing the elders, Shiyi Niang would give in no matter how unwilling she was. But when it came to Jing'er, she couldn't give in.

This child is very tactful. She apologized right away, and she also knew how to use her speaking skills to evade the important issues and mislead others. If she gave in, it would give Jing'er the illusion that as long as he got his grandmother's protection, no matter what mistakes he made, everything would be fine. This is a very fatal understanding for his future growth.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Jing'er.

Jing'er, who had just suffered a great blow, had his face flushed red and looked at the lady with excitement, as excited as if he had caught a piece of driftwood in the ocean.

Eleventh Lady no longer had any hesitation.

"Mother Du," she looked over with a calm expression and a smile, "We are just about to talk to Jin'er, please wait a moment." As she spoke, she looked at Xu Lingyi meaningfully, then rushed to the lady's umbrella in the rain and supported the lady's elbow: "Mother, it's windy and rainy, if you have any questions, just send a maid to tell you. Why did you come here in person?" She was still smiling and her voice was still soft, but the determination in her eyes and eyebrows could not be hidden from the lady, an old woman who had experienced wind, frost, snow and rain.

When the lady heard from the little maid that Eleventh Lady and Jin'er were arguing, she was shocked.

Eleventh Lady has a gentle temperament, and although Jing'er has a bit of a temper, he is sensible, filial, and knows when to advance and retreat. Why did these two people start to make trouble?

The lady quickly changed her clothes and brought Mother Du to the main house.

Who knew that as soon as I walked out of the yard, a strong wind started to blow and it started to rain.

They had no choice but to go back and get the umbrella.

Halfway through the journey, they met a maid who was sent to get information. She said that Jing'er was being stubborn and was getting wet in the rain in the yard. Eleventh Lady refused to give in and let Jing'er stand in the yard.

The lady was very anxious when she heard this, and secretly blamed Eleventh Lady for disciplining her son regardless of the occasion.

After entering the courtyard, she knew that Xu Lingyi had rushed over, and the lady was relieved. But when she entered the main courtyard, Jing'er was not as she had imagined, wearing clean clothes, drinking steaming tea, being carefully served by maids and wives, and seeing her shouting "Grandma" happily as usual and jogging to support her, but was soaked like a drowned chicken, standing silently by the black lacquered floor pillar with a face full of grievance. Looking at Xu Lingyi again, he stood side by side with Shiyi Niang, looking at Jing'er with a stern expression.

The lady was very dissatisfied.

How could two adults team up to deal with a child? Are they afraid that they can't beat Jing'er?

The tit-for-tat words just came out of his mouth.

Eleventh Lady's seemingly respectful but actually deaf-and-mute attitude increased the Lady Dowager's dissatisfaction by another ten percent.

"What? Are you afraid that I'll come and disturb you from teaching the child?" The lady's face was full of smiles, but her tone was not polite at all.

In this mansion, the only people that Jing'er could rely on were Xu Lingyi and the Madam. Now that Xu Lingyi was on her side, she only had to go through the Madam. Only by convincing these two people would Jing'er face up to his situation and seriously consider her words.

Eleventh Lady’s mind was racing.

"Empress, Lord Marquis, you brought us up. When it comes to educating children, no one is better than you. We are young and ignorant, and we are eager for your guidance. How can we disturb you?" She smiled and helped the lady to the corridor on the side. "It's just that Jin'er has a bad temper and doesn't even listen to me. You don't know how much I worry about his temper." As she spoke, she sighed and mentioned that Jin'er grabbed the eldest princess' earrings, and mentioned that the Crown Prince asked Jin'er to enter the palace a few days ago. "...He was out that day. After I opened the door, my heart was hanging. I thought, he was used to doing whatever he wanted at home, I wonder if he would follow the rules when he met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Then I thought, I heard that the eldest princess often played chess with the Crown Princess these days, I wonder if Jing'er would run into them when he went there? If the two of them had a dispute like when they were little, the eldest princess is a darling of heaven and no one dared to retaliate, and our Jing'er is a person who never admits defeat. If something happens, what will our Jing'er do? Fortunately, the eldest princess accompanied the Queen Mother to the Dowager Concubine that day, so I was relieved!"

The lady was slightly stunned and could not help but stop and look at Eleventh Lady.

Eleventh Lady stood there quietly, letting the lady look at her. Her expression was calm and composed, with a kind of frank sincerity.

In the past few years, Xu Lingyi has always avoided letting Jing'er enter the palace, and the lady knows it. He doesn't want his son to rush in without thinking when he doesn't know the dangers of the world... Shiyi Niang brought this up... She has lived with this daughter-in-law for several years and knows that she is not a person who speaks without thinking. But she believes that Jing'er is really so naughty...

The lady shook her head.

I still find it hard to believe.

In silence, the group of people had walked under the eaves.

Mother Du was very nervous.

The Fourth Madam did this, clearly not wanting the Grand Madam to interfere in her affairs. But the Grand Madam had already spoken, and she couldn't disobey. Thinking of this, she looked towards Xu Lingyi.

Xu Chongyi stood there with his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and quiet, his expression gentle and calm, no different from usual. She couldn't figure out what was going on.

This, what should I do?

Mother Du looked at Jing'er's wet clothes and an idea came to her.

"Sixth Young Master!" She smiled and walked forward to bow to Jing'er, then held Jing'er's hand affectionately, "Your clothes are all wet." As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and stuffed it behind Jing'er's back, "Mother Du, help you keep it away so you don't catch a cold!"

Let’s put it off for now.

Jing'er's attention was all on the Madam. He said "hmm" randomly and let Madam Du do what she wanted. But when the Madam walked under the eaves, he immediately left Madam Du and ran over excitedly: "Grandma! Grandma!"

Xu Lingyi stepped forward and saluted.

The lady smiled and hugged her grandson.

The tentacles wet the clothes.

My previously hesitant heart naturally became inclined.

"I beat you, I scolded you." The lady's slightly annoyed eyes fell on Xu Lingyi, then moved from Xu Lingyi to Shiyi Niang, "But I didn't discipline the children. I didn't do this when you were little! If anything happens, I'll see how you will explain it!"

Everyone present could hear clearly the hidden meaning behind the lady's words.

Jing'er snuggled up to the lady with a smile on his face, his black jade eyes looking from one to the other, with a proud look on his face.

Eleventh Lady couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xu Lingyi is the head of the family, but the lady did not ask him but her. It was obvious that she knew Xu Lingyi's attitude towards the matter through Mother Du's behavior, and she found a way for her to back down so that the matter could be resolved.

She could understand the good intentions of the Madam, but she couldn't go along with it. But it would definitely be inappropriate for her to directly refute the Madam in front of so many people.

"Mother is right." She said respectfully, "It's just that the rain came so suddenly that we didn't have time to take care of it. Fortunately, it's summer and Jin'er is in good health. Otherwise, I'm afraid something big would have happened." She added, "It's raining so hard, be careful not to get wet. Why don't you come in and sit for a while and have some hot tea?"

There was no mention of changing clothes.

Everyone present understood her tactful words.

The lady frowned slightly.

You can teach your children a lesson, but you cannot corrupt their bodies.

Eleventh Lady is a smart person and should know her good intentions.

The atmosphere became a little solemn.

Jing'er, who had been observing the lady's expression, immediately felt uneasy.

"Grandma!" He gently pulled the lady's sleeve, his voice a little thin and timid.

The lady looked down and saw Jing'er looking at her with a pouty mouth, his big phoenix eyes filled with tears, looking pitiful.

The old man softened his heart.

Forget it, Eleventh Lady is not happy, and there is also Xu Lingyi.

As he thought about it, he looked at Xu Lingyi thoughtfully.

Mother wants him to say something, right?

Xu Lingyi said nothing.

Not to mention that he agreed with Eleventh Lady's opinion, even if he disagreed, in this situation, if he refuted Eleventh Lady's words, what prestige would Eleventh Lady have in front of Jin Ge'er in the future!

Sometimes, not speaking is also an attitude.

The lady's face darkened.

One of them served tea and snacks, while the other stood there and said nothing. It turned out that the couple, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, were working together to get her away!

The lady was both anxious and angry.

She doesn't care how you two teach your child, but she can't just sit back and watch you abuse the child like this!

"Jin'er!" The lady took Jin'er's hand, "Go with grandma to change your clothes!" Her attitude became very firm.

Jing'er was overjoyed, his little face was as bright as a flower.

"Okay!" He responded loudly and held the lady's hand tightly.

"Mother!" The Madam wanted to take Jin'er away, and they were wrong to stop her. But Shiyi Niang still stood in front of the Madam.

"What?" The lady raised her long eyebrows, "Do you still want to stop me?"

Before he finished speaking, the surroundings were already quiet.

Mother Du and the others turned pale and quietly took a few steps back, trying to stay as far away from the Lady Dowager and Eleventh Lady as possible.

Xu Lingyi also became anxious.

He knew what Eleventh Lady was thinking, but he stopped her directly...

"Eleventh Lady!" The thought flashed through his mind, and he shouted, "What are you doing? Why don't you apologize to your mother?"

It was a scolding on the surface, but secretly he was handing a ladder to Shiyi Niang.

Play this trick in front of me!

The lady gave her son a cold look, then her gaze returned to Eleventh Lady, but suddenly became as sharp as a knife.
