"Auntie may not know it, but I feel uncomfortable and tight in my stomach when I smell the pigeon soup. I don't want to drink this kind of thing even if it is given to dogs. I am young and outspoken, so don't blame Auntie."
I didn't expect Aunt Du to be so calm and not panicked at all, so Xu Nuo added some excitement.
Finally, Aunt Du frowned imperceptibly, but she still endured it and kept smiling: "How can I blame Liu Niang? I don't know what Liu Niang likes to drink. I'll just go and endure it."
"Did my aunt make this pigeon soup? You can't pour it for the dog to drink. Isn't it a waste?" Xu Nuo said in surprise and anxiety: "Otherwise, if you give it to the fourth sister, the fourth sister's face will be so thin that it will burst the paper. , it should be replenished."
When Xu Qian heard this, her heart thumped, and she clenched her hands tighter, but did not want to show any expression.
What was poured out to the dog was given to her to drink!
What does Xu Liuniang, a silly girl, think of herself?
Forbearance! Forbearance!
The ugliness made today will definitely be paid back tomorrow.
Xu Qian has always been smart and considerate. Whether in the house or outside, she has always been praised by others, but she has never been humiliated like this today.
At this moment, she didn't even dare to speak, for fear of losing her composure in public.
Aunt Du glanced at Xu Qian, feeling extremely sad in her heart. Her daughter had been wronged, but she, the biological mother, could not speak for her at this moment.
The concubine has a lower status than the legitimate daughter, and she is not even qualified to refute Xu Liuniang. Therefore, Aunt Du hates Xu Liuniang even more, how dare she humiliate Si Niang like this!
She is just such a daughter, but she has always been raised by Lu's side. She was not close to her in the first place. After her daughter became wise, she even disliked her for being a merchant, and became even more reluctant to talk to her.
In the eyes of her daughter, even though her dowry was rich and she used the best and most expensive jewelry, it was not as good as the Lu family's background in scholarly family.
Aunt Du held the food box and said awkwardly: "Liu Niang may have forgotten that Si Niang has not liked pigeon soup since she was a child, so..."
"So, Aunt Du, let's drink." Halfway through Aunt Du's words, Mrs. Ding walked in slowly.
Everyone in the room hurriedly saluted.
Aunt Du and Xu Qian's faces felt hot. Even if they made a fool of themselves, they were caught by Ding.
When did Mr. Ding come, and what did you hear just now?
Ding is the mistress of the Xu family, and since she has spoken, Aunt Du cannot refuse: "It's a coincidence that the eldest lady is here. Neither the fourth mother nor the sixth mother likes pigeon soup, so I let my concubine take advantage. "Aunt Du reacted very quickly and covered up her unhappiness with just two words.
"What Aunt Du said is wrong. It's not an advantage for you. Your mother-in-law is the richest man in Suzhou, so there is no shortage of such a bowl of pigeon soup." Ding's words were sour, mocking Aunt Du's background and sarcastically. She had so much money but she only made pigeon soup for Xu Liu Niang.
Xu Qian's teeth were almost broken. She hated Aunt Du's origin. So what if she was the richest man? She was a scholar, an employee, a farmer, a merchant, and a merchant was always the lowest class person!
Xu Nuo, who was watching the show, was surprised. She only knew that Aunt Du's family was in the fabric business, but she didn't expect that she was the richest man in Suzhou.
Although she is the daughter of a merchant family, with such a rich property in her family, Aunt Du would not come to the Xu Mansion to be a concubine.
She was dressed plainly, but she didn't look like the daughter of such a wealthy family.
Sure enough, she knew too little about Xu Mansion, so she would have to ask Nanny Li later.
"You are joking. Just because my natal family has money does not mean that I also have it. Since the eldest lady is here to visit Liu Niang, I have to leave first." Aunt Du had a calm smile on her face and bowed low.
"Wait a minute, when I came in just now, I heard a few caretakers and maidservants in Liu Niang's Courtyard whispering something mysterious. What's going on?" After Ms. Ding asked, a sound fell quietly in the room. She could hear it with a pin. When no one answered, Mrs. Ding snorted coldly: "Mother Li, tell me."
Aunt Li took a step forward, saluted and told her what had just happened.
After hearing this, Mrs. Ding's expression immediately changed and she said displeasedly: "Siniang, your mother always praises you for being polite, why are you so reckless today!"
Xu Qian lowered her body and bowed, bowed her head and said softly, "I'm just worried about Liu Niang and want to come visit her."
Ding sneered: "When visiting Liu Niang, you can wait until she wakes up. Why bother making noise outside the house and breaking in the door? It's obviously sophistry. I will punish you with a half-month ban and have you read the female precepts twenty times."
After hearing this, Xu Qian's face turned dark and pale. Ding was not punishing her. She was clearly not allowed to attend the birthday of Mr. Ding on February 15th, and was not allowed to go to Ding's house to meet Mr. Ding. She was afraid that if she went, she would take away the money. Erniang's light.
Originally, he came to catch Xu Xu for leaving the house secretly, but then he asked Ding to punish her. How could he have expected that he would be the one punished in the end!
Xu Qian's mind was full of twists and turns, and it was hard to refute with her mouth, otherwise the punishment would be more severe due to Yi Ding's temperament.
Aunt Du knew her daughter's thoughts as well as Mrs. Ding's thoughts, so she hurriedly said: "Today is all my fault. If you want to punish me, Madam, please punish me."
"Of course I want to punish you, but to punish Si Niang is to punish her for being too talkative, and to punish you for not knowing the superiority of master and servant. If you don't know a few words, you don't have to copy the female precepts. Just be banned for half a month. 2 Madam doesn't need you to serve her, I'll find someone else." Ding said unhurriedly, showing no mercy as usual.
After hearing this, Aunt Du lowered her head and said, "Madam, Si Niang is the second wife after all. It's up to you to punish her for violating the rules."
"Erlang is busy with official duties and is out of the house, and his sister-in-law is ill. I am the mistress of the Xu family, don't I have the right to punish a junior?" Mrs. Ding said with a stern voice: "Go back now and be grounded. You are not allowed to come out even half a step."
After saying that, he asked the nanny beside him to hand a bunch of supplements to Aunt Li, said a few words to Xu Nuo to appease her, and then left.
Aunt Du and Xu Qian also left. Xu Qian glanced at Xu Nuo before leaving, her eyes were very calm.
Xu Nuo watched a good show from the side, raised his eyelids and met Xu Qian's gaze, and looked over with innocent eyes. But in her heart, she was thinking that Aunt Du and Xu Qian, mother and daughter, were both people who could hide their thoughts, otherwise they would have been able to hold back and not retaliate even though she had spoken harshly to her many times today.
Since Aunt Du could bear what she said, why did she refute Ding?
Banned, what's wrong with plagiarizing "The Female Ring"?
Xu Nuo was a little confused, so she thought about asking Grandma Li again when she had some time.
After a few people left, Xu Nuo lay lazily on the couch, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then stood up suddenly and called Chuntang over: "Call everyone in the courtyard in."
Chuntang shook his head and explained to Xunuo: "The gatekeeper and the rough servants in the courtyard are not allowed to enter your house."
"I don't know who is in the courtyard, tell me." Xu Nuo sat up and asked Chuntang to comb her hair. I have to have lunch with my mother at noon, so I can't delay this.
