Su Qing saw that the old lady had a bad face and knew why. However, she was also angry and how could she give the old lady a good face? She half-knelt lazily and saluted, and said weakly, "This servant pays respects to the old lady!"
Everyone in the room, including old women and maids, had more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at Su Qing's negligent actions, and more than a dozen ears listening to her rude tone. They were all a little surprised that she treated the old lady in such an attitude. For a moment, everyone in the warm room had their minds in turmoil, and they stared intently to see who would be the final winner!
The old lady didn't expect Su Qing to be so late, and even dared to be so disrespectful to her. Looking at the servants in the room who were thinking different things, she felt embarrassed and didn't even bother to look at Su Qing. She said coldly, "What kind of greeting are you asking for? I'm just a country girl, and I've never seen a concubine with such a big airs. I don't know whose power she relies on to be so arrogant!"
Seeing the old lady angry, Su Qing felt a slight relief from the anger she had been holding in her heart all night. She turned a deaf ear to the old lady's mild rebuke and straightened herself up, smiling faintly, "Although my maiden's family's residence is not as good as the prime minister's, my two brothers are both second-rank officials, serving as ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue! I wonder if this is what the old lady wants to ask?"
After Yun Xuanzhi left yesterday, Su Qing thought for a long time. She and Yun Xuanzhi were in love at the beginning, so she gave herself to him!
But good things don't come to those who wait. This damn old lady intervened and quickly arranged a marriage with the Duke of Fuguo's mansion, allowing Yun Xuanzhi to marry the second daughter Qu Ruoli!
Su Qing had no choice but to follow Yun Xuanzhi's advice and temporarily come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where Fu Xiao became his concubine!
However, in terms of background, Su Qing is naturally no worse than Qu Ruoli, as they are both legitimate daughters!
In terms of family background, the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion got the title of marquis because they helped the ancestor emperor to conquer the country. Later, the eldest daughter of the Qu family was chosen to enter the palace as a noble concubine, and this is how they became so successful!
If it weren't for these, the Qu family would be worse than their Su family!
At least the Su family was a family of scholars and officials. This kind of deep-rooted cultivation is not something that those rough people who can only wield swords and guns can learn!
Besides, in terms of appearance, Qu Ruoli looks weak and cannot arouse any desire in men. She is not as charming as herself, who still makes Yun Xuanzhi obsessed with her!
Besides, his two brothers and Yun Xuanzhi have already had a close relationship. As long as he doesn't treat the old lady too harshly, Yun Xuanzhi will probably not delve into it!
After analyzing it all night, Su Qing felt much more confident!
Even though her current identity was a concubine, her background made her more than qualified to be Yun Xuanzhi's legal wife. Why should she belittle herself in front of others and make others look down on her own family as well?
Seeing that Su Qing seemed like a different person today, with an indifferent look, the old lady frowned slightly for a moment, and her gaze finally turned to Su Qing. She was wearing a bright red dress with a maroon jacket on the outside, an eight-treasure garland and glass hairpin inserted in her black hair, and several gold-thread hairpins with the words "everything goes well" pinned in her temples. She looked extremely noble, but Su Qing's face was a little pale at the moment, and she couldn't hold up with this outfit!
Yun Qianmeng had already noticed that Su Qing's attire today was completely in accordance with the standards of a legal wife. Seeing her smiling face and a bit of caution in her expression, she knew that Su Qing came prepared today and would definitely not let the old lady take advantage of any opportunity!
The old lady, feeling pushed back by Su Qing's neither soft nor hard stance, immediately sneered, "Mrs. Su is so arrogant! She's using her family background to pressure others today. What's her purpose? And isn't this outfit only for the wife? Mrs. Su thinks she has good upbringing, but why doesn't she even understand this little bit of etiquette? If this gets out, won't outsiders laugh at the Su family for not exercising strict discipline?"
Su Qing lowered her head in fear, examining her clothes in a panic. She replied cautiously, "Please calm down, old lady. I had a miscarriage yesterday! When I was a girl, I heard the elders in my family say that clothes with traditional colors can stabilize the fetus. That's why I dared to wear this bright red dress! If you don't want to see it, I will take it off right away!"
As Su Qing was about to unbutton her clothes, the old lady was already furious at her words and her face turned blue. She pointed at Su Qing with trembling fingers, but was speechless for a moment...
Yun Qian dreamed that Su Qing had performed such a trick. As soon as she took off her clothes, she would hear a message that the old lady would not tolerate her concubine and would harm her own grandson. By then, not only would the old lady's efforts yesterday be in vain, but Yun Xuanzhi would probably come to get close to Su Qing!
But looking at the current situation, the old lady was so angry that she wanted to tear Su Qing into pieces. It was obviously impossible to stop Su Qing, so Yun Qianmeng had to step in!
Yun Qianmeng immediately gave Matron Rui and Matron Mi a hint, and they both stepped forward and comforted Su Qing. "Auntie, why are you making things difficult for the old lady? The old lady was just concerned about you, but you misinterpreted her intentions. If word gets out, it will cause discord in the Prime Minister's mansion and affect the Prime Minister's political achievements. Can you bear the responsibility?"
After all, Nanny Rui is the old lady's person. If she speaks, it will probably make the old lady unhappy!
Therefore, Aunt Mi acted well and analyzed the situation to Su Qing by explaining the righteousness and moving her emotions!
Su Qing hadn't expected Yun Qianmeng to be so perceptive. She had understood her thoughts in an instant. Seeing her hands being firmly grasped by the two old maids, she had no choice but to abandon her plan. Uncertainly, she asked the old lady, "Madam, is this true? I'm young and ignorant, and I misjudged your good intentions. Please forgive me!"
Originally, after hearing what Aunt Mi said, the old lady's expression eased a little, but Su Qing's question undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. She said that she was young and ignorant, but she was secretly mocking the old lady for being so old but unable to even speak clearly!
For a moment, the old lady's face darkened, and she stared fiercely at Su Qing's pretentious face, feeling disgusted!
There was a moment of awkwardness in the room, the low pressure made the servants dare not speak at this time!
However, Yun Qianmeng, on the other hand, had a calm and composed expression. She placed a cup of tea in the old lady's hands and gently advised, "Grandma, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat! Aunt Su's situation is special after all, so please agree to her this time! Besides, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything, and a peaceful and tranquil backyard is the guarantee of father's promotion! We can't lose the big picture for the sake of small things!"
The old lady may not give face to others, but she must give face to her granddaughter. Not only must she give face, but she must give enough face!
The moment she opened the teacup, the anger on her face disappeared, replaced by a gentle and loving smile. She lifted the lid of the teacup with one hand and took a sip with grace, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened. She savored the tea calmly. When the clear tea entered her throat, she nodded and praised, "The tea brewed by Meng'er Qinshou is still the best!"
When the servants in the room saw that the old lady finally smiled, they finally let go of their worries and immediately thanked the eldest lady. If she hadn't eased the atmosphere, they wouldn't know how the scene would end. If the prime minister blamed them, they, the servants, would be the ones who would suffer!
Su Qing lost his previous arrogance at this moment, staring at Yun Qianmeng with hatred in his eyes. It was all because of this damn girl. He had originally planned well, which could not only break up the relationship between the old lady and Yun Xuanzhi's mother and son, but also restore Yun Xuanzhi's trust in him. But he didn't expect that Yun Qianmeng's two casual words would make the old lady smile happily, and his plan was stillborn. Su Qing was so angry that he shook off the hands of Rui Ma and Mi Ma, stood there, squinting his eyes and watching the two people who were acting in front of him!
At this moment, Yun Qianmeng happened to turn her head and caught the ruthlessness in Su Qing's eyes, but she seemed to be unaware of Su Qing's hatred for her. Instead, she smiled even more brightly and said sweetly to the old lady, "Grandma, I see Aunt Su has come to pay her respects as well! You see, she's still a little pale, so let her go back and rest!"
Yun Qianmeng's understanding made Su Qing a little unsure of her intentions!
However, listening to Yun Qianmeng's words of excessive concern for him and seeing her eyes full of smiles, Su Qing felt a chill in his heart for no reason. He felt that the truth was not as simple as Yun Qianmeng said. It seemed that Yun Qianmeng was setting a trap for him again!
For a moment, Su Qing, who had always been good at scheming against people and guessing their hearts, actually felt a fear of Yun Qianmeng and was a little afraid to look into Yun Qianmeng's bright and gentle eyes!
After Yun Qianmeng reminded her, the old lady seemed to remember that Su Qing was still standing in her room. She then glanced at Su Qing coldly. Her eyes fell on her dazzling red dress. Feeling the glare, she turned away and said unhappily, "Standing for a while won't hurt her! Besides, isn't there this bright red dress protecting her belly? If she lost the baby so easily, wouldn't it mean that everything Aunt Su said before was a lie? And her real intention is to covet the throne of the prime minister's wife!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing paused, her lowered eyes filled with hatred, and she kept cursing in her heart, this damn old woman, she actually cursed her to have a miscarriage and put such a big hat on her head, she is really cruel and ruthless!
And Yun Qianmeng, who chimed in from the side, deserved to die even more. If she hadn't mentioned herself on purpose, why would the damn old woman have brought up the matter of clothes again!
Yun Qianmeng saw that although Su Qing didn't show any dissatisfaction with the old lady's words, the arm hanging by her side was indeed obviously tense, and it seemed that she was clenching her fist to calm her emotions. So she added more firewood without hesitation and continued, "But Meng'er feels sorry for Auntie! She is pregnant and has to get up early every day to pay her respects. Grandma, Auntie is also thoughtful. Please have pity on her!"
It would have been fine if Yun Qianmeng hadn't mentioned this matter. As soon as she brought it up, the old lady's sharp gaze immediately shot towards Su Qing. She saw that she seemed to be obedient at the moment, but the old lady knew her well. Su Qing was even more cunning and would admit her mistakes when necessary, but others would often believe her and be defeated by Su Qing in the blink of an eye!
Therefore, Su Qing's act of being well-behaved at this time had absolutely no effect on the old lady, and her behavior made the old lady even more disgusted with her!
The old lady's mentality was fully revealed in her tone of voice. She said bitterly, "Wake up early and pay your respects? Which concubine comes to pay your respects around noon? Is this a morning greeting or a afternoon greeting? Or a combination of morning and afternoon greetings? If Concubine Su feels that an old woman like me can't bear your greetings, then I will tell the master that you will stay in Fenghe Garden for the rest of your life!"
Su Qing was ridiculed by the old lady, her face pale, she bit her lower lip with her upper teeth, then forced herself to smile softly, and said in a gentle voice, "What are you talking about, old lady! This is all my fault. I went to bed late last night and got up late today! I will never make the same mistake again, please don't tell the master!"
Seeing Su Qing being so humble, Yun Qianmeng also tried to intercede. She stared at Su Qing with gentle eyes, but said to the old lady, "Grandma, Aunt Su has realized her mistake. Please forgive her this time!"
Hearing Yun Qianmeng's words, Su Qing raised his head in disbelief and looked at Yun Qianmeng with an inquiring look!
But Yun Qianmeng had already retracted her gaze. Smiling, she continued to suggest to the old lady, "Grandma, if you're worried about Aunt Su doing it again, why not train her for a month or two? Have her come over every day at 3:00 PM to say good morning, 5:00 PM to say good afternoon, and 6:00 PM to say good night! What do you think, Grandma?"
When Su Qing heard Yun Qianmeng's proposal, he felt that he could hardly breathe. He was immediately enraged and wanted to burn Yun Qianmeng who was not far away to death!
This damn little bitch really has no good intentions!
Originally, I was only supposed to pay my respects in the morning and evening, but she actually asked me to come to Baishun Hall to pay my respects three times a day, and the time was so precise each time, either early in the morning or during meal times. It was obvious that she wanted the old lady to dislike me even more by asking me to come at this time!
Su Qing thought of a countermeasure quickly in his mind, and just as he was about to speak, Rui Ma, who was beside the old lady, spoke first!
Nanny Rui bent down slightly and smiled at Yun Qianmeng, saying, "Miss, you may not know that the old lady hasn't gotten up yet at 11:00 AM! If Aunt Su comes over at that time, won't she be disturbing the old lady's rest?"
Hearing this, Yun Qianmeng frowned in embarrassment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said happily, "Grandma, how about this? Let Aunt Su kowtow three times outside Baishun Hall. This way, she will greet you and won't disturb your rest!"
When the old lady heard this suggestion, she nodded and smiled with satisfaction, then turned her head to Su Qing and said, "This method is very good. It can cure your laziness and make you respect your filial piety. You can go back first! Remember to come and pay your respects at noon!"
Su Qing only felt his legs weak, his body swayed slightly, he suppressed his anger, saluted with an unstable expression, and turned to leave!
As soon as he walked out of Baishun Hall, Su Qing's expression suddenly changed. He became extremely gloomy. He looked at the sunlight above his head, his wide-open eyes filled with bone-chilling coldness!
"Madam, let's go back!" Nanny Wang was stopped outside just now and didn't know what happened inside. Seeing that Su Qing looked strange, she was afraid that she would be seen by the old lady's people again, so she hurried forward to support her and planned to go back to Fenghe Garden to ask more questions!
But Su Qing pushed Nanny Wang's hand away, stood up on her own, and sneered, "Go back? Where to go? It's already one quarter past four in the morning, and you have to come over to pay your respects in three quarters. The old lady is just trying to torture me! But I won't let her have her way!"
When Nanny Wang saw Su Qing's expression, she knew that she must have been offended by the old lady, and she was very angry for a moment!
At this moment, Su Qing glanced at the maids behind Nanny Wang and found that one was missing, so she asked in a low voice, "Did Lu He go to deliver lunch to Xue Er?"
Seeing Su Qing asking, Nanny Wang nodded cautiously, but she was a little worried. "Madam, although the ancestral hall is quiet, the Second Young Miss is the daughter of the Prime Minister. She has been living a life of luxury since she was a child. How could she endure the hardship of such poverty? When Lu He left just now, she was still muttering that the Second Young Miss had lost a lot of weight in just a few days!"
Hearing this, a trace of heartache flashed across Su Qing's eyes, but at this moment the old lady was staring at her closely, trying to catch her by the braid at any time. She must not make any more mistakes, otherwise, not only would she not be able to save Xue'er, she might even be in trouble!
After thinking for a moment, he was still worried about Yun Ruoxue, so he whispered a few words in Nanny Wang's ear. Nanny Wang took notes carefully and nodded vigorously. The master and servant whispered for a while before they separated!
Seeing that it was noon, Su Qing separated from Nanny Wang and went to Baishun Hall with a few maids. Just as she was about to step into the garden, she saw Nanny Rui guarding the door. When she saw her, she stood under the archway, blocking Su Qing's way!
"What's the matter, Madam?" Su Qing was furious when she saw that a madam dared to block her way, but she had to look at the owner before beating the dog, so she suppressed her anger and asked with a pleasant face!
Nanny Rui has been with the old lady since she was a child. She saw clearly the suffering the old lady had endured at Su Qing's hands. She also saw clearly Su Qing's smiling face with a dagger in her heart. Naturally, she would not be fooled by Su Qing's gentle voice at this moment!
Rui Mama had no expression on her face, and her voice was serious, "The old lady asked Aunt Su to kowtow and pay her respects here!"
A fierce look flashed across Su Qing's eyes, but even though it was so fast, it was still caught by the sharp-eyed and quick-handed Madam Rui...
Nanny Rui calmly urged, "Auntie, please kowtow quickly! I have to hurry back to serve the old lady dinner!"
Su Qing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he was helpless. He could only kneel down slowly under the tight watch of Madam Rui, and kowtowed three times to Madam Rui on the road full of bluestones!
But Nanny Rui didn't even say a polite word, and quickly turned and left without even looking at Su Qing. Su Qing was so angry that she trembled all over, and was carried back to Fenghe Garden by several maids behind her!
Nanny Wang returned to Daofenghe Garden, only to find it unusually quiet. She felt uneasy and hurried into the inner room, only to find Su Qing lying on the bed with a wet towel on her head and a rather unpleasant look on her face. Frightened, Nanny Wang immediately stepped forward, took Su Qing's hand, and asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?"
Su Qing's eyes flashed with anger, and he said with hatred, "I will repay Yun Qianmeng and the others tenfold for today's vengeance!"
However, just as Su Qing finished speaking, Lu He ran in with a panicked look on her face, then pointed outside the door and said intermittently, "Madam... Madam..."
Seeing Lu He's useless appearance, Nanny Wang walked up to her and slapped her, angrily scolding, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see that the Madam is ill? How dare you yell and scream like that? Do you want to die?"
Lu He was slapped for no reason. She felt aggrieved and forgot her purpose for a moment. She just covered her hot and painful cheek and shed tears!
Seeing that she had run out instead of staying in the ancestral hall to take care of Yun Ruoxue, Su Qing panicked for a moment. She sat up without paying attention to her body and asked in a stern voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"
At this moment, Su Qing exuded a chilling coldness. The coldness in his eyes frightened Lu He so much that she took a step back. Then he stammered, "Madam, the eldest lady suddenly went to the ancestral hall!"
"What?" Nanny Wang couldn't help but yelled, then realized that she was being rude. She quickly stopped talking and looked at Su Qing. She found that Su Qing had already gotten off the ground. She hurried over to stop him and said, "Madam, your health is not good. Let me go!"
Su Qing did shake her head and ordered, "Change my clothes and put on that light blue flowery dress. Lu He, come and do my hair for me!"
The two of them obeyed the order and immediately got busy. Half a cup of tea later, Su Qing led everyone to the ancestral hall!
On the way there, he saw Nanny Rui leading the old lady and Liu Hanyu to the ancestral hall. Su Qing had no choice but to pay his respects to the old lady and follow them!
At this moment, the ancestral hall was bustling with activity. A lot of food was spilled on the mats inside. Yun Ruoxue glared at Yun Qianmeng, pointing at the food on the ground and cursing, "You jinx! Your mother died the moment you were born, and now you're interrupting my meal! Why don't you just go to hell!"
Yun Ruoxue dared to insult her elder sister so loudly because she took advantage of the fact that the ancestral hall was located in the most remote place of the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that moment, there were only her and Yun Qianmeng in the ancestral hall, so these words would definitely not reach the ears of the old lady and father!
However, Yun Qianmeng had become immune to curses of this degree. Instead, she chuckled as she looked at the spilled food. Among them was a dish of eight-treasure wild duck, a dish of bundt wild rabbit, a dish of braised quail in sauce, a dish of beef tenderloin with oyster sauce, and a dish of shredded pheasant and bird's nest. Each one was a delicacy, making people salivate!
However, this is an ancestral hall, a place for people to be pure and free from desires. Yun Ruoxue indulged in fish and meat in such a place, which was obviously a great disrespect to the ancestors!
But at this moment, she still didn't know how to restrain herself, and even wanted to argue with him. It was obvious that Yun Ruoxue was really a pretty girl with only beautiful looks!
However, since Yun Ruoxue is not in a hurry, there is no need for him to be soft-hearted!
Yun Qianmeng calculated the time when Nanny Rui would go to invite the old lady, and guessed that everyone would be arriving soon, so she kindly raised the food box in her hand and said kindly, "Sister, you misunderstood me! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to eat the vegetarian food in the ancestral hall, so I begged Grandmother to send some delicious vegetarian food over! I didn't expect to disturb my sister's meal. It's really my fault! How about I have some of my food, but don't go hungry, it's disrespectful to the ancestors!"
Having said this, Yun Qianmeng stepped forward, carefully not noticing the spilled food. She came to the small table beside Yun Ruoxue's bed, opened the food box, and took out the vegetarian dishes one by one. Then she set the table with the bowls and chopsticks. Smiling, she came to Yun Ruoxue's side, wanting to help her over...
But Yun Ruoxue was furious at the moment, especially when she saw Yun Qianmeng taking over, so she suddenly attacked and pushed Yun Qianmeng hard...
"Crash..." The food on the table fell down, and Yun Qianmeng's arm hit the corner of the table. A trace of blood flowed down her arm and dripped onto the ground!
"coax!"
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly pushed open. Yun Ruoxue looked up, only to see the old lady rushing in with an angry face. Without asking why, she slapped Yun Ruoxue, causing her pretty face to tilt to the right. She fell to the ground, stunned for a moment!
The old lady was too lazy to even look at her anymore. She immediately came to Yun Qianmeng's side with a distressed look on her face, personally hugged her, and pulled up her sleeves to check her injuries!
When she saw a finger-long scar on Yun Qianmeng's arm, which was as white as a lotus root, the old lady's eyes became even more furious. She immediately shouted coldly, "Are they all dead? Why don't you go get a doctor? If anything happens to the young lady, you won't have to work anymore!"
No one dared to delay any longer, and they all hurriedly ran out...
When Su Qing saw her daughter being beaten, she immediately walked quickly to Yun Ruoxue's side. Looking at her daughter's swollen cheek, her heart ached for a moment. She hugged the still dazed Yun Ruoxue in her arms with heartache!
Aunt Mi and Mu Chun ran to Yun Qianmeng crying, carefully held her injured arm, took out a clean handkerchief, and bandaged her first!
But the two of them were genuinely concerned about Yun Qianmeng. Seeing the rather large wound, they were worried. A girl's body should be flawless and free of scars. Although the young lady's injury was on her arm, it would still damage her beauty. If she got another scar, it would be a defect. It would be difficult for her to find a husband in the future!
However, for Yun Qianmeng, who had experienced the hail of bullets, this was just a piece of cake. Seeing that Mi Mama and Mu Chun had bandaged her properly, she lowered her sleeves, hugged the old lady's arm with a worried look on her face, and pointed at the food on the mat and explained, "Grandma, don't be angry! It was Meng'er who was wrong today. It was Meng'er who was reckless! I didn't consider that my sister was eating and scared her! Please don't be angry anymore. If you get sick from anger, it won't be Meng'er's fault!"
The old lady was already panting with anger, and after listening to Yun Qianmeng's explanation, she felt that Yun Ruoxue was not a good person just like her mother!
But when the old lady's eyes fell on the food on the mat, her face suddenly turned pale, and she shouted loudly, "Mother Mi, help the young lady!"
Everyone was frightened by the old lady's aura. Aunt Mi immediately stepped forward and carefully supported Yun Qianmeng!
At this moment, the old lady actually walked up to Yun Ruoxue and sneered, "Your father punished you to reflect on your actions in the ancestral hall, yet you're being pampered here with all the best food and fish! You're so disrespectful to our ancestors, are you deliberately trying to anger them and bring punishment upon us? No wonder your father never received a promotion. It turns out he kept an ungrateful person like you by his side. It's truly a waste of his love for you. It's all his own daughters who don't want to drag him down!"
Every word the old lady said was as sharp as a knife, slapping Yun Ruoxue's face with such force that the other half of Yun Ruoxue's face instantly turned wet, and her eyes were filled with fear!
She never thought that she was just eating some of her favorite dishes in the ancestral hall, but the old lady would regard it as a bad act that hindered her father's career!
She would never have thought about why there was no problem in the past few days, but Yun Qianmeng happened to barge in during dinner today, and the girl guarding the door did not even give any warning!
She had only pushed Yun Qianmeng, and the force was not enough to cause Yun Qianmeng to fall, let alone scratch her arm, but all this happened to fall into the eyes of the old lady!
Yun Ruoxue was confused for a moment. She really didn't know anything. She just felt that she was full of grievances and felt that this was a huge injustice. It must be that her grandmother deliberately exacerbated the seriousness of the matter because she didn't like her!
Yun Ruoxue felt a little regretful at this moment. She shouldn't have acted on impulse and shouldn't have pushed Yun Qianmeng just because there was no one else in the ancestral hall!
This left her speechless and she didn't know where to start!
Seeing her daughter was terrified, Su Qing could only kneel on the ground and beg the old lady, "Old lady, you have wronged the Second Young Miss! The Second Young Miss has always been well-behaved and sensible, how could she do such a thing as stealing food! It must be those serving maids who seduced the master, and this is why the Second Young Miss was implicated. Please, old lady, investigate carefully and do not wrongly accuse the Second Young Miss! Besides, all the affairs of the mansion are now managed by Concubine Liu. I don't know if she has withheld the Second Young Miss's food. Please, old lady, investigate thoroughly!"
After hearing Su Qing's explanation, the maids who were originally standing behind her felt insecure, especially Lu He, who was in charge of delivering the food, whose face turned pale!
Liu Hanyu was suddenly dragged into the water by Su Qing, and her face suddenly became very ugly. She could only look at the old lady nervously, fearing that she would really find out about herself. After all, as Su Qing said, she did treat Yun Ruoxue harshly!
However, the old lady sneered after hearing this, and then retorted, "She pushed Meng'er down. Isn't that disrespecting the eldest sister? Besides, Meng'er is the eldest daughter of the legitimate family! What concubine's sister would dare to treat the eldest sister like this? Aunt Su, you really raised a good daughter. With such a corrupt character, how dare we marry her off to someone else in the future? Wouldn't it be a disgrace to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Yun Ruoxue came to her senses after hearing the last sentence!
She remembered that Lu He had been saying these days that the old lady seemed to want to marry the fourth young lady to the legendary Chu Feiyang, and for a moment she felt burning with jealousy!
It is obvious that her birth is a hundred times better than Yun Yiyi's, so why did the old lady promise such an outstanding man to Yun Yiyi? She is the legitimate lady of the prime minister's mansion, and she is her father's biological daughter!
Besides, the old lady of the Fuguo Mansion will have her birthday banquet soon. In the past, she always attended the banquets in the Fuguo Mansion on behalf of Yun Qianmeng!
This banquet will be unprecedentedly grand, and the young men from various noble families will surely attend. She cannot miss this opportunity. She must find a better man and be proud in front of everyone!
Thinking of this, Yun Ruoxue became much more obedient. She crawled to the old lady's feet on her knees, hugged her legs and cried, "Grandma, this is all my fault. I was blinded by greed for a moment and forgot my father's instructions and did something wrong. Please calm down, Grandma! I know I was wrong and I promise I won't do it again!"
After saying that, Yun Ruoxue knelt down at Yun Qianmeng's feet again, hugged Yun Qianmeng's legs and begged for forgiveness. "Sister, it's all my fault for not knowing better! I made a mistake and caused you to suffer. Please forgive me this time for the sake of our sisterly love!"
Liu Hanyu was a little surprised when she saw Yun Ruoxue's big change. She looked at Yun Qianmeng with some worry, afraid that Yun Ruoxue would play some tricks again!
But Yun Qianmeng, with a loving sisterly heart, helped Yun Ruoxue up, wiped the tears from her face, and said softly, "Sister, what are you talking about? Sisters are just playing around and accidentally pushed each other, so why are you so scared? Don't worry, I won't take it to heart! But, you can't be like this when you're with your fourth sister in the future! We are the older sisters, so we have to give in to our younger sisters, okay?"
The gentle words sounded like a cold wind in Yun Ruoxue's ears, and she felt a little chill in her heart. However, seeing Yun Qianmeng's smile was so gentle and sincere, she couldn't find any flaws!
However, the old lady couldn't bear to see Yun Qianmeng being so easy to talk to, so she quickly ordered Nanny Mi and the others to escort Yun Qianmeng back to Qiluo Garden. She then ordered Nanny Rui to invite Yun Xuanzhi, and she herself sat on the armchair brought by the maids, staring coldly at Su Qing and her daughter!
Yun Qianmeng was escorted back to Qiluo Garden. The doctor had already been waiting in the side room. Knowing that Yun Qianmeng was being helped back to the bed, Mu Chun lowered two layers of curtains, and then Aunt Mi let the doctor in!
The doctor carefully felt Yun Qianmeng's pulse and examined the wound carefully before concluding, "I will prescribe both internal and external medications. This two-pronged approach will ensure that no scars will remain! However, Miss, please remember, this wound must not come into contact with water!"
Then he told Aunt Mi in detail about the foods that she needed to avoid, and then went back to the side room to write a prescription!
In the warm room, Aunt Mi hung up the curtains and helped Yun Qianmeng, whose right hand was weak, to get up. She said with lingering fear, "Young lady, you really scared me to death today! What if this leaves a scar? My son-in-law will definitely dislike me in the future!"
Yun Qianmeng heard Aunt Mi speak so naturally that she actually laughed out loud. She had just reached the age of marriage, how could she get married so soon!
However, everything that happened today was planned by Yun Qianmeng!
She looked at the table full of delicacies, talked about the punished Yun Ruoxue in front of the old lady, and then felt sorry for her sister's reputation, so she took Nanny Rui who was beside the old lady to the ancestral hall!
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, she asked Mu Chun to walk slower, and in a blind spot where Nanny Rui couldn't see, she threw a few silver ingots into the corner of the ancestral hall to lure Lu He away!
Later, when Lu He came back and saw Aunt Rui, Aunt Mi and others standing at the door, she would definitely run to inform Su Qing, and would not even remember to remind Yun Ruoxue inside!
And that fall was carefully planned by Yun Qianmeng!
It is not difficult to see from the past interactions with Yun Ruoxue that Yun Ruoxue has a more impulsive personality and can easily become impulsive if provoked by words!
Today, I just took advantage of her temper, and I fell down on purpose, letting my arm brush against the corner of the table, which successfully caused my injury!
Otherwise, with his national Sanda champion skills, how could he allow a powerless young lady to push him down? And how could he allow the edge of the table, which was not sharp to begin with, to rip his clothes and thus cut his skin?
I just staged a self-torture trick to force Yun Xuanzhi to be cruel to Su Qing and her daughter, and to allow things to go smoothly afterwards!
And Su Qing is definitely not a pushover. Although she was panicked today, it was only because everything was beyond her expectations and caught her off guard. If she didn't spend a lot of money, the old lady wouldn't be so angry, and Su Qing and Yun Ruoxue wouldn't take it seriously!
After all, Western Chu has always advocated respecting the elderly and loving the young, and concubines' sons and daughters must respect legitimate sons and daughters!
Today, Yun Ruoxue blatantly harmed the legitimate daughter. This crime will probably give Su Qing a headache for a long time!
Seeing that Yun Qianmeng didn't listen to her instructions, Aunt Mi could only sigh secretly, thinking that it would be more reassuring if she personally supervised the young lady to apply the medicine and take it!
However, thinking of Aunt Su's panicked expression today, Aunt Mi couldn't help but feel happy. She just felt that her young lady was becoming more and more predictable. "How did the young lady know that the second young lady was secretly eating meat?"
If the eldest lady hadn't discovered it today, I'm afraid everyone in the mansion would have been kept in the dark!
But Yun Qianmeng just smiled faintly and said softly, "Su Qing loves his daughter so much, how could he bear to see Yun Ruoxue suffer?"
After this explanation, Aunt Mi immediately understood and was delighted at Yun Qianmeng's keen observation!
At this moment, Mu Chun, who was decocting medicine outside, walked in. Seeing that Yun Qianmeng had gotten up, Mu Chun said, "Miss, Concubine Liu is here!"
Yun Qianmeng and Aunt Mi smiled at each other, knowing that Liu Hanyu must have come to report the results, so they said, "Please ask her to come in!"
