The words were full of irony.
Kong was so angry that his face turned pale and furious.
Without saying a word, he made her kneel down as punishment, and even found a mother-in-law to be angry with her. How could she bear it?
"Mother Qian, I want to see the old lady." Kong said coldly.
"Madam, this is what the old lady means. You have always been charitable, so you won't embarrass us slaves!" Qian's mother sneered and pointed to the tree again, "Madam, please come!"
"you……"
Kong's whole body was trembling, and he took two steps forward, "I want to see the old lady."
After saying that, he went into the house.
Suddenly in the room, the old lady yelled angrily: "If you don't go down and kneel down, do you think you'll have to ask me to invite you over?"
Accompanied by the old lady's angry rebuke, there was the sound of the tea cup being smashed on the ground. The sound of breaking was clear and crisp, and for a while, the house and courtyard were so quiet that there was no sound.
Kong's hand holding the handkerchief tightened and relaxed, and finally lowered his head and walked under the tree. Tian's mother's eyes were red.
When Ms. Kong arrived under the tree, the little maid actually gave her a mat. Ms. Kong calmed down and knelt on the mat in humiliation, with her head slightly lowered.
"Madam!" Tian's mother knelt down behind her.
Kong turned his head and shook his head silently at her. She couldn't refuse what the old lady wanted.
Mother Qian watched Mrs. Kong kneel down meekly, curled her lips mockingly, turned around and entered the back room, and reported to the old lady sitting above: "Old madam, madam has already knelt down."
"You have to kneel down properly, lest you break the rules and cause trouble for the house." The old lady said coldly, "I was blind at first, but I actually thought she was good and let Xuncheng marry her. , look at how she is now, how can she have the abilities of the Prime Minister’s wife? Sure enough, she is just an adopted daughter, nothing, and the Anxin Hou Mansion doesn’t take it to heart at all.”
I know what happened today.
"Old madam, I can't blame you for this. Mrs. Kong really went too far." Aunt Qian persuaded her hypocritically.
"With my son's character back then, what kind of girl did he want to marry? Those noble daughters of aristocratic families also had a lot of money. That is to say, I agreed to this matter at the beginning. Otherwise, how could she now sit in the high position of the Prime Minister's wife and enjoy To achieve such glory and wealth." The old lady said angrily.
"Madam should be grateful to you. If you hadn't pressured the Prime Minister to marry Madam, how could Madam have secured her position as the Prime Minister's wife."
Mother Qian knew what the old lady was willing to hear, so she held the old lady in high esteem and even said that Jiang Xuncheng was the only one on earth and the only one in the sky.
I don't think Jiang Xuncheng, who was just a poor scholar at that time, had anything to be proud of. He was ranked first in the second class, but he was not the first class after all.
How could Jiang Xuncheng, who had just arrived in the capital and was unfamiliar with the place, be able to reach this stage without the help of the Kong family? Even if the Anxinhou Mansion did not provide any help, where would their in-laws be?
Jiang Xuncheng has the ability, but he needs Qingyun to help him so that he can rise all the way up.
"You are so lucky to sit in the position of Mrs. Xiangguo. Why don't you cherish your blessing and do something all day long? This is because you are afraid that your life will be too good, so you deliberately create some things." The old lady continued to curse, showing that she was very angry.
Mrs. Kong knelt quietly under the tree with her head lowered. The sound in the room was not soft. Kneeling outside, she could really hear it. There were also the gentle sneers of the maid and the mother-in-law in her ears. They were not loud but very loud. Contempt.
My knees hurt, but strangely my heart didn't hurt.
The meaning of the old lady's words was very clear. Jiang Xuncheng was not willing to marry her, and Jiang Xuncheng didn't like her.
It was all because of the old lady's wishes that she was able to marry into the family.
In the past, whenever she thought that Jiang Xuncheng had no intention of her, she would feel distressed and uncomfortable. For Jiang Xuncheng, she could retreat and give in again and again.
Now, I am very calm. I only feel pain in my knees. Oh no, my heart hurts too, but it is not that kind of pain. It is dull and very uncomfortable.
He stretched out his hand and pressed his chest, swaying slightly.
"Madam!" Tian's mother had been paying attention to Mrs. Kong. She hurriedly took two steps forward on her knees, reached out to help her, and whispered, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
"A little bit." Kong whispered.
"Madam, please go and beg the old lady, you...you are really sick in your heart and you need to take good care of yourself. Your body can't bear it." Tears were about to fall from Tian's mother's eyes.
Madam's health is really not good.
The doctor who invited me also said that my wife has some heart disease. Although it is not serious, she must be taken good care of, otherwise no one can save her. In addition, my wife is originally weak, and her illness is getting worse. There is no room for any negligence.
"Don't go. I'm fine. It's nothing serious." Mrs. Kong grabbed Tian's mother and went in to tell the old lady about this. Tian's mother would definitely have to be beaten.
Things happen for a reason, but I don’t know where the cause is.
Tian's mother shed tears.
Kong gave her a comforting look and continued to kneel...
It took a long time, during which maids came in and out, cleaning up the smashed teacups, and Qian's mother also came out to get something. Everyone turned a blind eye to Kong, as if they didn't see such a person kneeling.
The old lady remained silent, and Mr. Kong kept kneeling. His face became paler and paler, and his heart became more and more painful, with throbbing pain. The scene in front of him became blurry. He closed his eyes and opened them again. I felt like I was awake again, but then it didn't feel good again.
Tian’s mother stretched out her hand to support Kong, allowing her to lend her strength.
After glancing at Qian's mother who had just come out of the house, Tian's mother couldn't care less and said quickly: "Qian's mother, Madam... Madam is dying."
"How could it be! How come it's only been so long and why can't I kneel down? I just gave Madam a cushion. If it weren't for Madam, why would I put a cushion here? Isn't it because of Madam's delicate body and expensive body?" Mom said disapprovingly and turned her head to look at the kneeling Kong.
Kong's face was as white as paper, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Mother Qian, please, our wife is really dying. She has been in poor health and had a heart attack before. What if...if something really happens...what should we do?" Tian's mother just wished she couldn't stand. Get up and help Kong up. Now he can only beg.
"Wait a minute. After I bring the cakes to the old lady, I will ask the old lady what she means. After all, I am just a servant. How can I be the master of the master?"
Mother Qian said lightly, and then called a maid with her hand: "You... go over and watch Madam. Don't let Madam really faint. Then it will be our fault again."
The person calling was a second-class maid.
The maid next to the old lady, even a second-class maid, is more respectable than other servants.
The maid named Lv Ge, who is not too young, walked over in a charming manner and stood in front of Mr. Kong, "Madam, you have to hold on. If you can't hold on, I will also be punished. "
After saying that, he came over and stretched out his hand to push Tian's mother back. Kong half leaned on Tian's mother to borrow strength and almost fell to the ground. He barely managed to steady himself. His face became increasingly pale and without a trace of blood. His whole body was shaky and forced. Biting his lower lip, he barely managed not to fall down.
"Mother Tian, please kneel farther away, don't hit the madam..." Lu Ge smiled sweetly, before finishing her words, she knocked out hard and hit the tree directly, hitting the trunk hard with a sound. He fainted without saying a word.
Behind her, Jiang Jinxin's face was so fierce that it was almost sinister...
