A Zhu complained to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen sent someone early the next morning to take Zhong Lingyu to the Shen Mansion.
People are waiting outside.
Zhong Lingyu was dressing up in the bedroom.
Mrs. Fu stood beside her with a worried look on her face, "Miss Tinglan made A Zhu very angry last night. A Zhu ran back to Shen Mansion overnight and must have chewed his tongue in front of the old lady. Now the old lady is asking you to come back. Mansion Shen will definitely cause trouble for you. Why don't you go see Mrs. Shen again after Mr. Shen comes back."
"Shen Huaizhou is very busy. If you bother him with such a small matter, it will make him worry too much. There is no need to mention this matter to him. If the old lady really makes things difficult for me, it will be okay for me to show weakness and give in."
Zhong Lingyu was arranging her hair as she spoke.
Zhong Lingyu is usually nice to his servants.
Especially towards my sister-in-law, I am very respectful and polite.
Mrs. Fu liked this mistress from the bottom of her heart, so she felt very distressed.
Gritting her teeth, Sister-in-law Fu complained: "I even wonder if the old lady came here to embarrass you on purpose. She sent such a sinister little girl to spy on you, and then went back to file a complaint when she felt a little wronged. It's just a bully taking advantage of others."
Zhong Lingyu glanced at her thin eyebrows and said, "Sister-in-law Fu, you also said that a dog fights against human power, and it depends on the owner when beating a dog. A Zhu is a person close to the old lady. He was embarrassed by Tinglan last night. The old lady can't bear to lose her face. She will definitely call me Go there. Don't worry, I know this matter well."
Mrs. Fu sighed, "I was downstairs last night. If I had known that it would cause the trouble now, I should have stopped Miss Tinglan at that time."
"I don't have anything to do with you and Tinglan. You are all doing it for my own good. I know it very well."
After saying that, Zhong Lingyu stood up and went out.
The people sent by the old lady took her all the way to the backyard of Shen Mansion.
The backyard is where the old lady lives.
Very secluded.
When they arrived in the living room, Zhong Lingyu saw A Zhu beside Lan's mother, wiping away tears and crying.
The old lady had a serious face and was drinking tea next to her.
Seeing Zhong Lingyu coming, she ignored him.
Zhong Lingyu stood in front of the old lady and said calmly: "Old lady, you are looking for me."
"Do you know why I'm looking for you?" Mrs. Shen put down the tea cup.
Zhong Lingyu replied: "It should be about Ah Zhu."
"Are you dissatisfied with my actions, so you deliberately embarrass A-Zhu and use A-Zhu to slap my old face, huh?" Old Mrs. Shen asked coldly.
"I didn't mean that." Zhong Lingyu explained.
"You don't have such intention?" Old Mrs. Shen held the crutch, her eyes were cold, "If you didn't have such intention, why did your friend named Chen Tinglan torment A Zhu? Didn't he listen to your intention?"
"Tinglan has an upright personality. When she saw A-Zhu watching me take medicine last night, she thought A-Zhu had malicious intentions, and that's how the misunderstanding happened last night."
Zhong Lingyu explained patiently.
But her explanation seemed weak.
Although A-Zhu is a domestic servant, he is also the old lady's most trusted confidant and Mother Lan's biological daughter.
The old lady also watched A Zhu grow up.
Seeing A Zhu crying aggrievedly, the old lady looked angry, "What is malice? Watching you drink medicine is malice? Asking A Zhu to help you drink medicine is the order of me, an old woman. You made such a fuss in the military government before It’s an ugly scandal, but now we don’t even know how to deal with it.”
Zhong Lingyu clenched his fists for a moment.
She never wanted to cause trouble, the old lady always...always thought she was the one who caused it.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Lingyu barely suppressed her anger, "Old lady, I know you are biased against me. No matter how I explain the past things, you probably won't be able to listen. But now, what I say is the truth. I never wanted to embarrass A Zhu, I drank the medicine according to your instructions, and I never took a step towards the door."
The old lady stared at her seriously, "Do you dare to swear? You really didn't mean to bully A Zhu to slap me in the face?"
"I swear." Zhong Lingyu was neither humble nor overbearing.
The old lady glanced at A Zhu.
A Zhu immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Old lady, it was indeed Miss Tinglan who boiled me with water. Miss Lingyu did not make things difficult for me. Don't blame Miss Lingyu. It's all my fault. I should have endured it and not run away. Come back and cry to my mother. It’s my fault for letting you worry about me, old lady.”
After speaking, A Zhu kowtowed vigorously.
The old lady raised her hand and said, "Mother Lan, don't let her kowtow. She's not afraid of breaking her head."
Lan's mother quickly helped A-Zhu up and sighed: "Old lady, it was me who spoiled A-Zhu. If you are angry, just punish me."
Zhong Lingyu thought, what a drama between three women.
This A-Zhu, as well as Mother Lan, are also very profound.
They did the opposite, on the surface they were admitting their mistake to the old lady, but in reality they were making the old lady feel sorry for them.
They have been with the old lady for so many years, and the old lady trusts them very much, so naturally she will not doubt anything.
As expected, the old lady didn't blame her anymore, she just said: "A-Zhu is young after all and doesn't have much experience. This incident should be a lesson. I sent A-Zhu to serve people, don't always go to Shen's mansion." .”
"Yes." A Zhu cried pitifully, "Remember the old lady's teachings."
The old lady then looked at Zhong Lingyu, "I know your friend named Tinglan. She is the sister of Chen Tingze, a talented man in Yuncheng. Children from the Chen family should be stable and proper, but that Chen Tingze Lan, you are too unruly. If it is not necessary in the future, try not to interact with him."
The anger in Zhong Lingyu's heart reached its extreme.
The old lady sent people to monitor her and forced her to stay in the courtyard. For Shen Huaizhou's sake, she tolerated it.
But Tinglan is her friend, and she will never allow anyone to talk about Tinglan.
Not to mention the old lady, not even Shen Huaizhou.
She said coldly: "Old lady, I respect that you are Shen Huaizhou's grandmother, but I also think that you are not well yet, so I compromise on everything. But this does not mean that I can allow my friend to be abused by you."
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Shen was furious.
"Old lady, don't worry, I won't leave a bowl of the medicine you should drink. No matter you simply want me to get pregnant with the Shen family's child, or you deliberately torment me, I will tolerate it. Only my friend, I won't Allow anyone to say anything about her.”
Zhong Lingyu shook off these words and left with a cold face.
Old Mrs. Shen was even more furious, "The military government caused such a big trouble before. I wanted to like her in Huaizhou and give her a chance to make amends. She would be better..."
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Shen's breathing became more rapid.
A Zhuxiang didn't see it and deliberately fanned the flames, "Old lady, don't be angry. Didn't Miss Lingyu say that she has compromised enough? If you get angry with her again, you will definitely be unhappy if the young marshal comes back."
Mrs. Shen is old and her ears are soft.
Hearing this, he became even more angry.
She was so angry that she felt dizzy and suddenly fainted.
