Chapter 24 Internal Affairs
"Well, let's talk about you. How did you change your mind? Hide in the room to do your homework, and don't let Chu He and the others come in to serve you." Wanhua looked at Shaohua's unhappy appearance and asked with concern.
Shaohua glanced outside the door and saw Chu He bowing his head silently. She floated away faintly. Nothing, just a lesson for the girl." She thought about it and told Wanhua what happened that day. Wanhua couldn't laugh or cry.
"What kind of lesson is this? Obviously, you are teaching yourself a lesson. Even if they do something wrong, you will be beaten and scolded. If not, you can chase them back to Xiyuan, and your mother will do justice for you. Look at you..." Wanhua looked out of the door, one guarding the door and the other sweeping the courtyard. "If you make a person, you have to raise your voice. What is this?"
Shaohua also seemed disapproving. Chu He and Youhan had just come out of Ling's house. Naturally, there is no way to talk about loyalty and craftsmanship. However, their loyalty is only for the Li family, the second wife, and even the Ling family. The good they can think of for Shaohua is just a way for them to express their loyalty to Ling. If they can't stand on the side of Shaohua, think about what she thinks and worries about her, even if one is driven away, there will still be countless.
She also knew that they were not a big mistake, but they didn't see their position clearly. They served Li Wuniang, not Mrs. Li. They are obviously standing from the perspective of the Ling family and working for her, rather than really treating her as their master.
Irmenting the chairman's ridicul, Shaohua raised his voice and said, "I'm fine. I just want them to remember that since they stay by my side, they should think for me, otherwise they will be no different from the little maid who sweeps and guards the door." Shaohua deliberately spoke loudly. She knew that both of them were listening outside the door. I don't know whether she is guilty or helpless. She is not as righteous as Wanhua. Chuhe Youhan has not been waiting for her since she was a child, and it is understandable that she can't stand in the line.
In addition, even Ling's heart wants to match her to Yichen, so it's no wonder that the people below have this kind of cognition.
Wanhua sighed and nodded her forehead, "You can't always be like this. No one is around to serve you. Well, let me, a sister, vent for you. Wait for you to learn something. If I go out in the future, you have to take care of your subordinates. It's useless for your husband to teach you anything else.
Shaohua blinked, looked at her curiously, nodded, and let Chu He and Youhan come in.
"Kneel down!" Seeing them come in, Wanhua immediately sank his face and shouted angrily, which scared the two of them to kneel on the ground immediately.
Shaohua is also a little dumbfounded. Is this still the person who just laughed and played with her? Why did he change his face in a blink of an eye?
Wan Hua sneered: "Madam praises you and let you serve the fifth lady. You have regarded yourself as a recipe. Looking at the kind-hearted and bullying of the fifth lady, she even dared to do something more than the right thing, and she won't turn upside down next time. How did Mother Cui teach you and how did you listen to me? If you want to lead the family law, I won't stop you!" Wanhua's voice is not loud, but the words are straight to people's hearts.
Both of them trembled with fear. Chu He said with a pale face, "Third Lady, I have no two hearts for the Fifth Lady, but I feel sorry for the Fifth Lady for stabbing their fingers, so I selfishly want to help her. I have absolutely no idea."
The young man also kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Third Lady, I know I was wrong. It was Mrs. Yan who said that sooner or later the Third Lady or the Fifth Lady would marry Master Yichen, and I spilled the beans. I really didn't mean to. I just want to serve a good wife!"
"Is the Fifth Lady your master or Mrs. Yan your master!" Wanhua's eyes are furious.
"It's the fifth wife!" Youhan has been crying speechlessly.
She has been snubed by Shaohua these days and did the things of the maids. She can hear those little maids laughing behind her back. Chu He was better than her. Although she was not allowed to get close, she just let her guard the door. Whenever something happened, Shaohua called Chu He in and left her outside. She regretted for a long time, but Shaohua always ignored her and didn't even have a chance to speak.
"Please be kind to the third lady. Fifth lady, you can beat me or scold me. Please don't be so cold to me. Just let me serve you. I will never do anything beyond that in the future, otherwise I will have nothing to say even if you kick me out. Chu He stood at the door and heard the room most clearly. Sometimes Shaohua kicked his foot and pricked his finger, and she could only endure it. He stepped into the house without an order and immediately let Shaohua drive him out.
The young man sobbed and had to kowtow. Wanhua winked at Shaohua proudly and whispered, "Look, the maid taught me such a lesson, not to let you be cold and hang it." Shaohua returned her with white eyes. Wanhua turned his head, changed his face, and said to them, "I'll forgive you this time. Next time let me know that you dare to exceed your points, and I will immediately kick you out."
After saying that, Wanhua touched Shaohua with his elbow and motioned her to make a sound. Shaohua sighed and said, "Get up and wash your face." Looking at their poor hesitation and raising their heads, they paused and said with a bulging face, "I'm hungry."
"Yes, yes! I'm going!" Hearing Shaohua's words, Chu He got up quickly and happily, and the young man also got up and went out. Because every time Shaohua wanted to eat snacks, he always looked at them with an aggrieved face. Chu He couldn't stand it, so he had to go to the kitchen to make snacks.
Wanhua was so angry by her words that she finally created the majesty she created for her, which ruined her "I'm hungry". In their eyes, foodies are in a normal state. Wanhua couldn't even care about her image and shook her head and sighed.
Looking at the eldest sister's appearance of crying and laughing, Shaohua passed it with a hippie smile. However, Shaohua was still a little moved by Wanhua's behavior, so she didn't make fun of her. At least she was always at a loss in the face of Jinhua.
I don't know whether Shaohua's paving is better or Wanhua's majesty is more effective. At least both of them have become cautious.
However, when Ling knew about this, he deliberately asked his sisters to teach him.
"You are really a sister. They all said that you should take care of Wu Niang. You don't even know the people in her room." Ling looked angrily at Wanhua, who lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, and then looked at Shaohua, who had nothing to do with his own. "And you, why didn't you say anything if such a big thing happened. Xing is something that they don't have the courage to do at the beginning. In case they sell you in the future, you won't have time to cry!" Ling Shi glanced at Cui's mother, who wiped her sweat silently, "Teaching maids has always been Cui's specialty. If you can't find me, you can let Cui's mother deal with it. She will definitely not condone them."
"Yes, yes, five ladies, if these two girls do something wrong, you can beat and scold them, or give them to me, and I will beat them." Cui's mother immediately stated.
Shaohua held Ling's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, I see that Cui's mother teaches very well. And the third sister also disciplined me. Don't be angry. It's a big deal. She knew that Ling and her mother could definitely help her vent her anger, but she didn't want to be angry at all, but wanted to recognize the position. She would rather be clumsy but never betray her than raise a smart man to help others sell her.
"That's right, mother, if you solve everything for her, what should she do when she goes out?" Wanhua was also full of resentment about his mother's blame.
Ling thought about it, and Wanhua was absolutely right. Wanhua has asked her to discipline her subordinates since she was a child, and she is also the eldest daughter, so she has long been easy to deal with her subordinates. That's all. Your sisters have a good relationship, so I won't say more. Let me know next time that I have to peel their skins.
Shaohua smiled and said that with Ling's temper, it is not impossible to make life worse than death. However, it is not as good as sending two incongruous people and two incongruous people. Cui's mother also wiped her sweat and answered repeatedly. After all, the two girls were taught by her, and they were still a little related. If something happened to them, I'm afraid her life would be difficult.
The mother and daughter kissed and talked about it. Seeing that it was almost time to eat, the dishes and chopsticks arranged by the maid were missing. She asked curiously, "Has Hachiro gone to have dinner with his grandfather?"
Ling raised his eyes and said disdainfully, "It's your father who won't come to eat."
"What? Huan Siyuan is making trouble again. Wanhua sat up straight.
"No, I drove him there." Ling said with a resentful face, "I don't know what kind of tendon it is. Every time she comes to eat, she brings Qi Niang over and says that she is here to serve me for dinner. You didn't see that after this meal, they flirted, but I became an outsider.
Both girls heard it open their mouths, but they didn't expect Su to make such a move. No wonder Ling's resentment.
"Then you shouldn't let your father go there. Isn't that she was tricked?" Su is waiting for Ling's words.
"So what! Do you want me to look at them? She has put down her temperament, but it's better than tenderness. After all, it's not as obedient as Su's. Qi Niang was polite. Before and after a meal, she picked up vegetables and soup for me in front of your father. How can I eat it?"
Shaohua suddenly realized that no wonder he hadn't seen Jinhua appear recently. It turned out that he came to Xiyuan to fulfill his filial piety.
In fact, as long as Ling is thicker than Su, he naturally enjoys her service, and then takes the initiative to show his goodwill to Li Xunzhuo. What a man wants to see most is the harmony between his wife and concubine and enjoy the blessings of others. The place where Su's move is higher than Ling's is that she can eat grievances.
"Mother, just ask Qi Niang to come back to dinner with you. At that time, my third sister and I will also come over, and I don't think she can make any trouble. As for Aunt Su, she said that she should stay in Huan Siyuan. It's not that there is no one at home, and there is no need for an aunt to serve dinner. As long as Li Xunzhuo didn't see Su, Su and Ling were in the same space, and Ling immediately lost without fighting.
Wanhua thought about it and thought it made sense, "That's right! Separate Qi Niang and Aunt Su so that they can't make trouble.
Ling wanted to refuse. She didn't want to see Jinhua who looked like Aunt Su at all, but she couldn't resist her two daughters, so she had to order it.
Su, who received the news, was stunned and thought about it: "Madam, do you really say that?" The maid nodded and said coquettishly, "Madam said that you are not in good health, so you don't have to go to serve her. After all, the seventh wife is a family. It's not good to always be with the master and wife, so she will have dinner with the third wife and the fifth wife later.
Jinhua lay on the couch, pillowed Su's feet, and raised his eyes to look at her sad face. "Mom, isn't it good? Didn't you say that I should go to my father more to show my goodwill? After dinner, I'll just bring my father here.
"Silly girl, you think it's so easy. The two women are not as easy as my wife. They obviously want to separate us and don't want your father to see me." Su sighed, "Well, as long as you're good, I won't go. Remember, don't get along with them. Our purpose is different.
