Chapter 183 The moth 3
Liu Shihan was ill. After talking and laughing with Xia Mengning for a while, he was a little exhausted. Xia Mengning saw the fatigue between her eyebrows, so she got up and said goodbye and promised to visit her often in the future.
On the carriage back home, Jiu'er looked at the expression on Xia Mengning's face and asked, "Miss, is Miss Liu's illness very serious?"
Xia Mengning nodded, "I don't know how to persuade Han'er. It seems that she is really moved by Xia Zhihan. In the past, I can still say a few words, or simply make a way to let Haner see Xia Zhihan's true face clearly. But now that Han'er's body is so bad, I dare not do anything, in case it stimulates her. I'm afraid it will affect her condition.
Jiu'er heard this and frowned, "It's really urgent. We know that the young master is uneasy and kind to Miss Liu, but we can't say it."
Xia Mengning sighed and felt a long-lost sense of powerlessness. She lowered her head and gently patted Jiu'er's hand and said, "Life has to continue. Now that it has happened, all we can do is to work hard not to make things worse."
Jiu'er nodded, and her expression was also very solemn.
At this moment, the carriage had stopped. Jiu'er got out of the carriage, helped Xia Mengning down and walked into the house.
As soon as the two walked to the bamboo branch garden, they heard a noisy sound inside. Jiu'er frowned, "Who is making noise in the bamboo branch garden!"
Xia Mengning squeezed her lips tightly and walked in quickly.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Chen's mother standing in the yard, and there was a middle-aged woman with eyes beside her. Chen's mother stood aside, and the woman was pointing to the pearl lotus opposite with her waist and scolding, "Little hoofs without eyesight, the family is full of sons of bitches. Why don't let my baby daughter go..."
Xia Mengning frowned, and Jiu'er beside her already couldn't stand it. She stepped forward a few steps to pull Zhulian's body and said, "Where are you from? How dare you come to splash in the third lady's bamboo garden? Is this prime minister's mansion as you want to enter?"
Chen's mother didn't seem to see Xia Mengning, who was still outside the gate. She just saw Jiu'er in front of her. Thinking of the last scene when she was ridiculed by Jiu'er, Chen's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Jiu'er hasn't left the cabinet yet. How can she open her mouth and close her mouth to the bitch? Our prime minister's mansion has always been a place to abide by rules, and you are also follow. Why is the girl next to the third lady so unruly?
This insinuation is to say that Xia Mengning's rules are not good.
When Jiu'er heard this, she was not annoyed and said with a smile, "Mother Chen's words are so strange. It's up to decide when the rules in the Prime Minister's mansion become an old Diao slave who doesn't know the depth of the world. The third lady is not in the yard. You bring this cheap embryo from somewhere to find us unpleasantness. Which is this? Zi's rules?"
Jiu'er spoke very fast, but she spit out words very clearly. This sound of mulberry scolding really made Chen's mother angry. She raised her hand without thinking about it, and pretended to beat Jiu'er. "You shameless little prostitute, how dare you talk like this? I'll teach you a good lesson for Miss San today..." < /P>
With that, this slap was about to hit Jiu'er's face. Xia Mengning's eyes darkened, and a familiar murderous atmosphere gathered in her eyes. She stretched out her hand and flicked it gently, and beat Chen's mother's arm so that she couldn't use her strength.
"Ouch!" As soon as Chen's mother ate the pain, she hurriedly bent down, and her face was twisted into an inhuman shape. "It hurts me so much..."
The woman next to Chen's mother hurriedly reached out to hold her and looked left and right, "Who, who?"
Xia Mengning slowly walked in from the door and looked at the two people squatting on the ground with clear eyes. "Mother Chen, I don't know when you will have to work on this bamboo garden."
Xia Mengning walked up to her and looked at Mother Chen, who was still squatting on the ground. Her cold eyes almost made Chen's mother almost overwhelmed. At this moment, Chen's mother seemed to feel that she should not come here to ask Xia Mengning to plead guilty. She was just a slave, even if she got an old man. People's love is just a slave.
Jiu'er and Zhulian both came forward and stood around Xia Mengning, one left and one right. Xia Mengning looked at Chen's mother and said, "Don't Chen's mother have something to tell me? Then come in."
After saying that, she turned around and walked into the room. Mother Chen and her daughter-in-law Yang, who were squatting on the ground, looked at each other. They also stood up and walked into the room.
There are two little girls and two running errands in Zhuzhi Garden. Now these people are gathered in the porch and looking at it. Jiu'er entered the room with her forefoot, and her back foot retreated. She shouted, "What are you looking at? Why don't you go to work? If it delays the lady's business, pay attention to your skin."
When several people heard this, they all withdrew their eyes with timidity and dispersed to work.
Xia Mengning entered the room. First, she took off her cloak, and then sat on the upper chair. Mother Chen and Yang came in and looked around. When Yang was about to open her mouth, she was pulled by her hand by Chen's mother. The two knelt down together. Mother Chen said, "The old slave offended the third lady today. Please forgive me."
Xia Mengning covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Is this mother Chen the old man in front of Xie? She is still in control. She can take the initiative to admit her mistake and grab her mouth before she makes trouble.
Xia Mengning didn't say anything, but just looked at it coldly. At this moment, Zhulian came up with hot tea. Xia Mengning reached out to pick it up, but saw red marks on Zhulian's wrist. Xia Mengning put down the teacup, suddenly grabbed Zhulian's hand, and asked, "What's going on?"
Zhulian was stunned and hurriedly wanted to back her hand. Xia Mengning understood Zhulian's nature. Her eyes darkened. She swept over the two people who were kneeling underneath and whispered, "Go down."
Zhulian walked aside and stood with Jiu'er. Xia Mengning picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea and said, "Mother Chen, what's the matter with you coming to me? I don't know when I offended you and let you vent your anger on my close maidservant."
Chen's mother raised her head and came into contact with Xia Mengning's cold eyes. Her heart was cold and she said, "Miss San, the old slave came today for the granddaughter of the old slave. Cai Wei has always been obedient and filial, and even the old lady praised, which made an exception to take her around to serve. Today, I don't know why Miss San will Cai Wei practiced salute in the plum garden. When the old slave saw the ice and snow outside, Cai Wei was very thin, so he came to beg the third lady.
Xia Mengning narrowed her eyes. What Chen's mother said deliberately made it clear to herself that Cai Wei's etiquette was affirmed by the old lady. Now she has punished her for her poor etiquette, which is purely to make some false charges.
Xia Mengning took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Jiu'er, tell your mother Chen what happened today."
Hearing this, Jiu'er immediately stood up and saluted Xia Mengning, "I obeyed." Then he turned around and said to Chen's mother, "Today, the slave maid met Cai Wei in Meiyuan with the third lady. Cai Wei saw that the third lady not only saluted irregularly, but also did not call herself a slave when she replied. Mother Chen, you know that no matter how much this servant is favored by the master, she is also a servant. This servant replied. Well, how can you be so light and presumptuous?"
As soon as Chen's mother was stunned and was about to speak, she heard Xia Mengning say, "Mother Chen can hear it clearly. This etiquette should not be abandoned, and it can't be blamed. Well, I'm tired, too. You go down first.
With that, he wanted to stand up and walk to the inner room. As soon as Chen's mother and Yang saw it, they immediately said, "Miss San..."
Xia Mengning stopped and said, "What else?"
Mother Chen looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Miss San, it's icy and snowy outside. If Cai Wei stays in the Mei Garden for a while, I'm afraid it will be a problem. The old slave begs Miss San to open up and let Cai Wei go this time."
Xia Mengning sat back in the chair again, looked at Chen's mother and said with a smile, "What's the matter with my frozen body? It's just a girl who doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth. If she dies, she will die."
Chen's mother didn't expect that Xia Mengning would say such a thing. She immediately became very angry. Her granddaughter, who had been cherished for more than ten years, was treated like this by Xia Mengning. Chen's mother couldn't help but be angry and said, "Miss San, don't bully others too much..."
Hearing this, Xia Mengning suddenly turned her head to look at Chen's mother and said harshly, "Am I going too much? I'm afraid that Mother Chen has forgotten that I am now the person in charge of this house. If this subordinate is disobedient, it is reasonable to punish, but it is Mother Chen..."
With that, Xia Mengning changed her sitting posture and looked at the two people below with a pair of sharp eyes. "I broke into my yard to make a big noise, full of dirty words, and hurt my personal maid. I don't know if you can stand these sins?"
With that, he said to Jiu'er beside him, "Take the two of them out and kneel in the yard. When will you reflect and get up again?"
Chen's mother and Yang were stunned. They didn't know why they were also punished to kneel. Chen's mother is an old man and has experience, but Yang is young after all. Now when she hears this, she hurriedly shouted, "Why do you let us kneel? We haven't done anything wrong. Who do you think you are? You don't know that Cai Wei is the old lady. You don't care about the old lady's face like this. What are you doing..."
Xia Mengning suddenly turned her head and looked at Yang, who was chattering. Her eyes were cold. "What a dare you dare to talk to me like this. Come on, drag the two of them out and kneel. Without my order, no one can get them up."
Jiu'er called the little one outside the door. The two little one got Xia Mengning's order and hurriedly came forward and dragged the two away one by one. They forced themselves to kneel in the snow and couldn't even raise their heads.
Xia Mengning took a look, sat in a chair and looked at it, and said to Jiu'er, "Go to Meiyuan and have a look. Is that girl still there?"
Jiu'er nodded and turned around and went out. Xia Mengning ordered Zhulian to continue with hot tea and snacks. While eating, she looked at it with interest. Occasionally, she bowed her head and took a sip of tea, as if she was waiting for something.
