What he said before must have been heard, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
You must know that she had seen Bai Guo several times before entering the palace a few months ago, and she didn't feel this way at that time.
Aunt Xue bit her lip and looked inside the moon cave door.
If the other party beats, scolds or punishes her, she can go to the master to cry and beg for mercy.
But now she doesn't make any noise, doesn't make a sound, doesn't say she's wrong, doesn't mention punishing her, and even ignores her and doesn't let her go.
It's a bit too uncomfortable to see the other person lift the knife, but not know when the other person will cut it down.
"Master, do we still have to kneel?" Lan Shuang asked carefully, looking at Aunt Xue's face.
"Kneel down!" Aunt Xue rubbed her numb legs, "The master was so anxious to go in just now that he didn't see us. I don't believe you can come out soon without asking!"
During dinner, Ni Dairou kept adding vegetables to Ginkgo, "Zhenzhen, try this, do you think it's delicious? Try this, what do you think? Take a bite of this sweet one, ah——"
Ginkgo opened his mouth obediently and ate it, then continued to nod obediently.
Ni Dairou's eyes were full of kindness.
Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui on the table were eating as usual, as if they couldn't see this scene.
Bai Mingzhi curled her lips when Ni Dairou gave Ginkgo a mouthful of food, and then curled her lips again, and the cycle started again.
Bai Minglei had a hard time eating, and no matter what went into his mouth, he felt like he was forced to swallow it.
"Mom, what you feed Third Sister is my favorite food! I want it too!" Bai Mingzhi watched Ni Dairou feed half of it into Ging Guo's belly, and finally couldn't help it anymore, tears welling up in her eyes.
Bai Guo handed the plate to the maid behind him obediently, and asked the maid behind him to place it in front of Bai Mingzhi.
Ni Dairou slapped the chopsticks on the table. Bai Minglei shook his hand and the chopsticks fell to the ground.
Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui put down their chopsticks calmly, took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped their mouths.
Bai Mingzhi simply stood up and walked to Ginguo with her head lowered. She said in a soft tone: "I'm sorry, Third Sister, I don't have to compete with you, but my mother said that this dish should be cooked every ten days. I waited for ten days before I got it." Of…if you are angry…leave me a bite, and I will give you half of my yard!”
Ging Guo was stunned for a moment, then felt warm in his heart.
Her yard is remote, so they have never been there. Naturally, they don't know how nice her place is. They just think that the remoteness where she lives must be bad.
He told her to move there to avoid her overthinking, so he said it in a stuttering way.
Ni Dairou's expression softened, she picked up her chopsticks to eat again, and did not get involved in the affairs between the children.
Bai Minglei breathed a sigh of relief.
"After dinner, you can come and see me. It's just in time to digest." Bai Guo rubbed Bai Mingzhi's head and did not refuse directly.
Bai Mingzhi nodded ignorantly, and it wasn't until Bai Guo took back his hand that Bai Mingzhi sat back in her seat.
"Zhenzhen." Bai Yutang suddenly said.
Bai Guo put down his chopsticks, turned his head slightly, took the mouthwash that was handed over from behind, covered his lips and rinsed his mouth, then wiped away the water with a handkerchief, then turned back to Bai Yutang and asked softly: "What can I do, father?"
His movements, words, and demeanor were all flawless.
This set of | movements was too natural and too calm, giving Bai Yutang the illusion that he was not talking to his daughter, but to the empress in the palace.
Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui also looked over. The rules and standards revealed in that action made them straighten their backs unconsciously.
Bai Yutang calmed down and then asked slowly: "Did you encounter anything unhappy today?"
Bai Guo thought about it carefully, then nodded and said, "I saw two maids talking about me."
Bai Yutang choked up.
With a smile on her lips, Ni Dairou put down her chopsticks to rinse and wipe her mouth, then she corrected her softly: "Zhenzhen, that's Aunt Xue."
Bai Guo nodded to show that he understood.
Bai Yutang saw that Bai Guo had no intention of continuing, so he had no choice but to ask: "What did she talk about you?"
Ginguo lowered his eyes and did not speak directly. After a few breaths, he said, "I will pick up my grandmother tomorrow."
Ever since she entered the palace, her grandmother had gone to a temple on the outskirts of Beijing to pray for blessings. The news of her return has been sent out today, so tomorrow is most likely the time when her grandmother will come back, and it is right for her to pick her up.
only……
Even a dull person like Bai Minglei felt that the atmosphere was wrong now.
As a mother, Ni Dairou always felt that her child was being bullied. The smile at the corner of her mouth suddenly disappeared, and her eyes became cold. However, she was afraid of scaring her child, so she lowered her voice and said, "Zhenzhen, what do you have?" Just say it."
Bai Guo was a little confused at this point: "Send someone over to ask, I just walked by and listened."
Bai Yutang put down his chopsticks and waved his hand to let him go.
No one was touching the food on the table, and the maids began to move away in an orderly manner, serving snacks and tea.
Ging Guo sat quietly. Aunt Xue was supported by two women when she was brought here.
Bai Yutang glanced at it and asked, "Did you talk about Zhenzhen today?"
Aunt Xue cried so hard that she just said: "This is what I did wrong. I know my mistake. Please forgive me..."
"Yeah." It was just for show, so Ging Guo didn't have any objection.
Aunt Xue paused for a moment, and then cried even harder, "I thank you, Third Miss! Third Miss is kind-hearted, and it is my fault that I should kneel down and break my legs. From now on, I will pray for Third Miss every day, so that I can be blessed." Buddha bless the third lady."
Bai Guo frowned slightly, and his tone suddenly turned cold, "Did I punish you?"
Aunt Xue didn't speak, she just looked at Bai Yutang with pleading eyes, fear in her eyes.
Ging Guo picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said: "Since Aunt Xue thinks I am punishing you, then you can tell me why I am punishing you. Although I am young, I am not in a position where you can talk to the maid more than once." sentence, I will punish you."
Aunt Xue was shocked, tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said with a choked voice: "I know my mistake. Please let me go. I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Gingko brushed the saucer with her knuckles, put down the teacup gently, and then sighed softly, "If Aunt Xue doesn't want to say it, forget it. If my father hadn't asked, I wouldn't have let this matter come to this."
Bai Yutang frowned and looked at Aunt Xue, "What? Is there something I can't know?!"
The handkerchief in Aunt Xue's hand was almost torn, so she sobbed and said: "My slave... I said that the maid next to Miss Third is restless."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Guo stood up and saluted, saying, "My daughter will leave first."
Bai Mingzhi immediately followed: "My daughter also resigned."
Bai Mingsong, Bai Minghui, and Bai Minglei stood up at the same time and said in unison: "My son has resigned."
Several people left quickly, as if there was something scandalous in the house.
In fact, Bai Yutang had a dark face.
Aunt Xue looked at the people walking out in confusion, and then looked at Bai Yutang, wondering what was going on.
She didn't say those more extreme words, why did it seem like she had already said them.
"If you say this in front of a young lady who has not yet left the court, I'm afraid Aunt Xue's rules will be thrown into the dog's belly." Ni Dairou said coldly: "Mother Guo, the wooden palm is fifty."
"Yes!" Aunt Guo directly pulled Aunt Xue to the side and started shooting from left to right.
Bai Yutang's expression has not calmed down even now.
He finally understood why his daughter kept silent about this matter.
…
It was still dusk when Bai Guo, Bai Mingzhi and others came out of the yard. Bai Mingzhi couldn't help but ask: "Third sister, how did you know that she would say this?"
"No matter what she says, she can't escape today." Bai Guo nodded to his two brothers with a normal expression and prepared to return to the yard.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sanmei's yard yet. Is there something good that you are reluctant to show us?" Bai Mingsong asked with a smile. In fact, he was accusing Bai Guo of inviting Bai Mingzhi but not them.
Bai Guo simply said: "Big brother, second brother and little brother, let's go together. It's just that we have no preparations today. We can only drink tea when we go."
Bai Mingsong nodded like a handsome young man.
Bai Minghui didn't often visit his sister's yard. He just thought that after being raised outside for ten years and coming back less than half a year, he was afraid that they would no longer be strangers to them. So they could only take the initiative to move around more, so that Ginguo wouldn't live in the same house. The restraint of others.
Bai Minglei didn't have any objections and usually followed his two brothers.
Bai Mingzhi happily pulled Gingo ahead and asked, "Did Aunt Xue say something serious to you? Why can't you escape today?"
Bai Guo chuckled and rubbed Bai Mingzhi's head, "Yes, she said very serious things. No matter what she says today, I will not let her walk out with dignity."
Bai Mingzhi's eyes were filled with stars, "It's so amazing."
Bai Minglei was confused, "When I came out, I saw that my father's face was dark. Even if my aunt said this in front of the third sister, there is no need to be so angry, right?"
Bai Mingsong sneered, "It's because I said this in front of Third Sister."
Bai Mingzhi responded quickly: "It's because she said that the maid is restless. To use the word restless means that the maid has fallen in love with the father. The maid next to his daughter is thoughtful, but how could the father accept such a maid as his aunt? If this was spread, it would ruin the Bai family's family tradition and reputation. It was too late for my father to suppress the matter, but Aunt Xue said it in the dining room. My father would only look bad when he was angry. My mother said that just to save her father's respect. .”
Bai Mingsong continued: "This maid was brought back from the second uncle's house. She is also saying that the second uncle's family does not know how to discipline. If this is brought out, the second aunt will be embarrassed."
Bai Minglei was even more confused, "Which maid is it?"
There seem to be only two maids brought back by the third sister, and one of them is still there...
"You are following behind me." Ging Guo turned around and looked at Bie Xia, who was behind him with his head lowered and his face flushed. "You made me lose face today, so don't expect me to save your dignity. Let's talk about it."
Bie Xia was about to kneel down, but Ging Guo didn't stop, "Follow me."
Bie Xia could only follow and said: "I did deliver something to the master today, but that's because I wanted to know why the lady hasn't come back yet. I went to the madam's yard first, but the maid there said that the madam was missing. Man, this slave is heading towards the study..."
Bai Guo didn't look back, "Can you find out when I will be back?"
Bie Xia lowered her head, bit her lip and said, "Slave..."
"My mother has already given an order today not to see guests, but you insist on going to see them today because you think I will die today and my father will be sad. Do you have a chance to show off?"
Bie Xia's face turned pale and red, and he hurriedly defended: "I have never thought of it this way!"
