In the Dawn Courtyard of the Chen Mansion, Mrs. Liu, the second wife of Chen, was reading a letter from the capital. Chen Ningyan was quietly snuggled next to her and taking a nap.
Mrs. Liu just put down the family letter, and the eldest girl Zilian opened the curtain and came in. Her steps were hurried and her face was panicked, as if something was urgent.
"What kind of panic is this? How can it be appropriate?" Mrs. Liu frowned and scolded.
"Madam, something serious has happened." Zi Lian said urgently.
"What's the matter? Could it be the old lady..." Mrs. Liu stood up in a hurry, hitting Chen Ningyan next to her, startling her, and she suddenly woke up.
"mother."
"It wasn't the old lady, it was the eighth young master who beat up the young master of the Lu family." Zi Lian replied.
"Oh!" It wasn't the old lady who had something wrong, Mrs. Liu felt relieved, "There's another fight, let's just fight, there's nothing to make a fuss about." Brother Ze and the young master of the Lu family have always been at odds with each other, and the children were fighting and making trouble. Do the elders in the family still have to come forward?
"Madam, this time is different." Zi Lian explained, "Doctor Xiao's girl Li'er pushed Young Master Lu into the river. Young Master Lu hasn't woken up yet?"
Mrs. Liu was a little confused. Two children were fighting. Why did Xiao Ming get involved again? Where was this? After hearing Zilian's report, Mrs. Liu became completely anxious.
"Hurry up to the front yard and see if the second master is back, ask him to come over quickly, and call Brother Ze and Sister Ke." Mrs. Liu ordered. Just as Zilian was about to go out after receiving the order, Mrs. Liu was Stopped.
"You tell me to go down and keep this matter under wraps. Not a single word can reach the ears of the old lady, otherwise you will be the only ones to ask questions." Mrs. Liu's tone was stern. The old lady is resting now. She cannot be agitated or have any emotions. A slight mistake.
"Mom, is Brother Batsu causing trouble?" Chen Ningyan pouted and was dissatisfied.
"Alas! Your eighth brother is spoiled by your grandmother." Ms. Liu sighed helplessly, but her words made Chen Ningyan even more dissatisfied with Chen Yuanze. Who in the Chen family didn't know that his grandmother doted on him the most, and his affairs Grandma has to personally take care of whoever dares to punish the mynah brother for causing trouble. Now it falls on the parents to take care of grandma's illness.
"Fortunately, your eldest aunt will be back soon." Mrs. Liu comforted her, seeing her daughter's dissatisfaction. The old lady was sick, and as her legitimate daughter-in-law, she should come back to take care of her.
"Auntie is coming back." Chen Ningyan felt happy.
"Yeah, it's on the way already."
"It will be good if the eldest aunt comes back." Chen Ningyan said. For her, the eldest aunt can take good care of her eighth brother, not letting him go out to cause trouble all day long, and letting his parents deal with the aftermath. Chen Ningyan thought that it was completely He didn't notice Liu's uncertain expression.
Mrs. Liu sent her daughter back and waited quietly for the Chen Ningke siblings and Mr. Chen.
Not long after, Chen Ningke came over with Chen Yuanze. The corners of Chen Yuanze's mouth and eyes were smeared with the ointment given by Xiao Ming, and he changed into a new set of clothes. His hair was half-parted, as if he had freshly washed it.
Chen Ningke was fine, just a little frightened.
Mrs. Liu looked at the two people in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they were fine, and the old lady didn't know about it. She didn't know how distressed she would be if she saw her beloved grandson like this. At least she didn't have to scold her as the head matron.
Chen Yuanze's face was swollen, and the small eye that was beaten was narrowed. Although he was beaten like this, he still raised his head stubbornly, as if he refused to admit defeat.
Ms. Liu looked at it and sighed. After all, she was spoiled by the old lady. She was young, frivolous, reckless and ignorant.
"What's going on? I heard that Brother Ze beat the young master of the Lu family and pushed him into the river." Mr. Chen Er came in, looked at Chen Yuanze in the room and scolded: "You kid is too disrespectful. You are the governor, how can you push someone into the river?"
"Huh, I'm right." Chen Yuanze hummed.
"Master." Mrs. Liu pulled the second master to sit down on the main seat, and then said: "Brother Ze didn't push it, it was Doctor Xiao's girl who pushed it down."
"What, Doctor Xiao?" The second master was surprised and looked at Chen Ningke and his brother. He did not expect that they were related to Doctor Xiao.
"Sister Ke, tell your second uncle what is going on."
"Yes, second uncle, we were with Dr. Xiao..." Chen Ningke told the story in detail, focusing on Lu Zhiming's rude mention of his grandmother's condition and his frivolous words between her and Xiao Ming. Things are coming.
As the legitimate daughter of Chen's family, she was subjected to such frivolous remarks in front of a large audience. Although the other person was joking, the reputation of her daughter's family could not tolerate any slander. She did not think that her brother had impulsively hit Lu Zhiming. Wrong, more praise for Li'er throwing Lu Zhiming into the lake.
"There are things like this. The Lu family is too lawless and doesn't take the Chen family seriously." Master Chen slammed the table angrily and said angrily.
"You have been wronged in this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you." Mrs. Liu softly comforted the frightened Chen Ningke.
"Madam, the third lady of the Lu family is here." Zilian opened the curtain and came in to report. The third lady of the Lu family was Lu Zhiming's mother. She came to the door in person at this time, and her intention was obvious.
"You go back first, I will definitely uphold justice for you." Mrs. Liu said, sending Chen Yuanze and Chen Ningke back.
"You don't have to be afraid of her. It's wrong for Brother Ze to hit someone, but he said something rude first." Mr. Chen Er said to Mrs. Liu after Chen Ningke and his brother went out. The majesty of the Chen family cannot be offended.
~~
Mrs. Lu San waited for nearly two cups of tea at Tian's house but did not see Mrs. Liu come out. She was filled with anger. The Chen family had gone too far to bully others. Her good son was beaten like that and even fell into the water. He finally woke up. She came over, she was so angry that she rushed to ask for an explanation, but she didn't even see the head wife of the Chen family.
Tian sneered, is it because the Chen family knows that they are in a bad situation and dare not come out to see them? It's ridiculous that the Chen family, which has been a century-old and scholarly family, hides its head and tail. It's really rude for Mrs. Chen's second wife, who comes from a high family, the Liu family, to treat guests like this.
A moment later, Ms. Liu arrived late. She walked slowly and smiled before saying anything: "I'm busy at home, so I kept my sister waiting for a long time. I haven't seen her for a few days. She is getting younger and more beautiful. I don't even dare to recognize her." ”
Mrs. Liu smiled, as if she had no idea how long Tian had been waiting, and even turned a blind eye to the angry look on Tian's face.
"Sister Liu, your noble lady, is busy. My sister is interrupting you." Mrs. Tian stood up to greet the smiling person with a smile on her face. She extended her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person. Mrs. Liu came with a smile and a friendly tone, so it was hard for Tian to get angry on the spot.
"Oh, my sister is working very hard to take care of the food and drink of this big family. How can I have my sister's leisure?"
Tianshi····
Who in Hechun doesn't know that the Lu family split up not long ago, and this Liu family is poking at her heart.
Really, how unreasonable!
"My poor brother Ming was beaten by your brother Jiaze and was covered in wounds." Tian said, tears streaming down his face, as if Chen Yuanze had made a big mistake.
