[The setting sun shines upon the return of the shadow, and the sunset accompanies the guests as they return. The lamps and candles are dotted everywhere, and the warmth and cold disappear. 】
Sheng Yuan held her father's hand and skipped back to her yard.
Looking at the bright and warm light in the room, I feel that all the fatigue of the day has faded away. Especially the moment her mother-in-law stood up from the Taishi chair, Sheng Yuan felt that there was nothing better than this in the world.
"Kneel down!"
But just as she was about to fly into her mother's arms like a bird in the forest, she was knocked back by these harsh words.
"Ah?!" Sheng Yuan looked at the anger on her mother's face blankly, and her first reaction was to look at her father.
Why did daddy make mother so angry again?
Facing the little girl's puzzled gaze, Sheng Xiangxun felt that her knees seemed a little weak.
Fortunately, what the lady said next solved his dilemma.
"I'm talking about you, Shengyuan! What do you think other people do!"
When her mother called her full name, Sheng Yuan immediately trembled and hid behind her father. She carefully popped her head and looked over innocently: "Why do you ask me to kneel down?"
"Don't pretend to be cute! There's no point pretending to be cute!" Mrs. Zheng repeated with a fierce face, "Do you hear me kneeling down? If you don't want to kneel here, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"
Sheng Yuan was startled by the stern tone. She looked over carefully and found that her mother looked very different from usual.
The mother who used to be gentle and gentle was now extremely powerful. The eyes she looked at her did not show the usual doting, but only endless sternness.
Sheng Yuan felt a little strange and a little aggrieved.
Such a strange mother made her feel scared.
She felt her eyes were hot, and tears seemed to come to her instantly. She had to squeeze her lips hard to hold back from crying.
"Mom, it's useless to talk, right?"
Her mother asked again, like a thunder, making her burst into tears.
"Huh! I didn't do anything wrong, so why are you scaring me?" Sheng Yuan raised her hand to wipe her blurred eyes, then sat down on the ground, twitching and looking at her mother, "Don't kneel down, you made a mistake. Just kneel down, you didn’t make a mistake! Don’t kneel down! Wow, you’re bullying someone!”
Sheng Xiangxun didn't expect his wife to be so strict. When he saw his little daughter sitting on the ground crying pitifully, his heart was broken.
Seeing that the lady was getting more and more angry when she saw this, she was about to come over with a feather duster in her hand, and asked angrily: "Is this the rule you learned from the academy? How can a child of that age behave in such a disorderly manner?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Sheng Xiangxun hurried over to hug his wife and coaxed her: "Okay, why are you scaring the child? If she doesn't educate you, why bother asking the child to kneel down and holding a duster at the same time!"
He hugged his wife to comfort him and turned around to let the little girl escape for a while. He didn't want to take a look, good guy! Why do other children need to be reminded? It has already moved a foot and a half to the side!
Sheng Xiangxun, who couldn't laugh or cry, looked at the little guy with tears falling down his face, feeling both funny and distressed at the same time.
He coaxed his wife back to sit on the chair with kind words, while he stood aside and hugged her to comfort her: "Children are always naughty. She is only nearly ten years old, and she is still a little kid. If she doesn't know anything, just talk to her. It's not like she doesn't listen, so why are you so angry? It's not worth it to scare the child and make yourself angry!"
Sheng Yuan was sitting on the ground. When her father said this, she suddenly sobbed louder and her little head nodded in recognition.
Mrs. Zheng had let her husband calm down a bit, but when she saw her like this, she suddenly became angry again. She pinched the arm of the person next to her and reprimanded angrily: "It's all because of you! Look at her like this! Yes, she You understand the truth, but after you understand it, don’t you still do whatever you want?! It’s just you who like to mess around with people who are in trouble!”
"Be gentle! Be gentle!" Sheng Xiangxun was pinched so hard that he almost jumped to his feet, grinning, "No, why on earth are you so angry?"
At this moment, he felt aggrieved for his little girl. While rubbing his red arm, he muttered: "Everything has a name. Even if you punish her, there must be a legitimate reason."
Mrs. Zheng's eyes were red when she saw him in pain, and her heart felt a little soft. It was obvious that he was completely unaware of what he said, and she immediately became angry.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Sheng, Mr. Hanlin, don't you know what your daughter did outside Yongshu Teahouse today?"
"Ah? That's what you're talking about!" Sheng Xiangxun was still wondering why the little guy made his wife angry. Unexpectedly, it was because of this, and he felt a little puzzled, "The little guy has made a contribution today. !」
As he spoke, he pulled the armchair on the side over. Just as he was shaking his hands to say something, he saw the maids standing outside the house and waved: "Everyone, please go out! I'll talk to your wife for a while!"
The maids, who had been warned in advance by the Madam not to speak, not to move, and not to protect the Third Miss, heard the words and looked at the Madam hesitantly.
Zheng raised his chin casually.
All the maids breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted and walked out with their heads lowered without squinting.
During this period, Sheng Yuan moved her butt very considerately to make way for others.
Seeing that she was still thinking like this, Zheng knew that this guy was pretending again and snorted in mock dissatisfaction.
Sure enough, as soon as she snorted, Sheng Yuan began to wipe her eyes seriously again.
"Sister An is back, right? How is it? I was angry today, but I didn't let her express it. Isn't she holding it in?" Sheng Xiangxun thought of the eldest daughter who had wronged her the most, and immediately couldn't sit still.
"It's okay. When you went to the Shuntian government office, the third wife of the Zheng family helped bring her back." Speaking of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Zheng's expression became much more relaxed. "Although she is not bad, she is fine. She just has a problem on her jaw." I had two red pimples, and the doctor came to see me and said it was nothing serious, but that I was too angry. He gave me a prescription to relieve the inflammation, and he only said to take two pairs."
"That's good, that's good!" Sheng Xiangxun breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something, and asked nervously, "Is the child in a good mood? No pressure, right? Isn't it hard to think about it? Is she in her own courtyard at the moment? Let me see her!"
"She immediately fell asleep. The doctor gave her some medicine to help her sleep peacefully. He said she should sleep until dawn tomorrow. Don't disturb her!"
Mrs. Zheng was filled with fear when she thought about what happened to her eldest daughter today, and said bitterly: "The Yun family's calculations are really slippery! Do you think this will kill two birds with one stone and let me, Sister An, marry into his family? What a beautiful thought. ! Even if I raise her for the rest of my life, I won’t let her enter that unruly nest!"
"Hmph! Killing two birds with one stone?" Sheng Xiangxun also scolded, "If you offend my daughter, I will beat her like a chicken to a flying egg!"
Saying this, the couple began to think about how to mess up the marriage of the Yun family's daughter to the emperor's grandson!
The most uncomfortable thing for careerists is that they see high positions as unattainable.
The two of them talked lively, but Sheng Yuan, who was sitting on the ground, was a little dumbfounded.
Tired of crying, she looked at her father and mother, and found that they seemed to have forgotten her.
After a long sob, Sheng Yuan felt that the ground was a little cold, so she climbed up by herself, turned her head and found a stool to sit on.
She just sat down, and before she could catch her breath, she noticed that her parents were looking over!
