Chapter 173: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress
When Song Xia returned to the mansion, the sun was already fading. She knew without even thinking that Zhou Ying would definitely complain when she came back. Sure enough, as soon as she entered the mansion, the old lady asked her to go to the Fushou Hall.

At this time, Zhou Ying had put on a beautiful dress and was holding Mrs. Liu's hand proudly. Zhou Yongli and Liu Fangniang were also sitting beside her.

As soon as Song Xia walked in, he saw that they all looked like they were going to attack the enemy, but the expressions on their faces remained unchanged.

"I've met my mother, but I don't know what she called her daughter-in-law to do."

"Are you still pretending to be confused?" Mrs. Liu raised eyebrows and scolded her harshly, "I asked you to take Sister Ying to give porridge. Do you think how much trouble Sister Ying has suffered?"

Song Xia was at a loss: "What's wrong with Sister Ying? My daughter-in-law still wants to ask. We just got there and the porridge hasn't been boiled yet. Sister Ying ran away, and the noble family next to her were watching."

Zhou Yongli's expression changed slightly, but Mrs. Liu still held Zhou Ying's hand and said: "Look at Sister Ying's hand, how can you let a wealthy lady do such menial work as adding firewood? I heard that you still condone those people. The untouchables soiled Sister Ying's skirt, I think you are deliberately ruining Sister Ying's reputation!"

Song Xia did not defend herself directly, but asked Zhou Ying: "Is this what you told your grandmother when you ran back home without permission?"

"I..." Zhou Ying's eyes flickered, and then she felt that she had not lied. What was she guilty of?
"Kneel down!" Song Xia shouted at her, startling everyone in the Fushou Hall.

Mrs. Liu was even more reluctant: "You have done something wrong, but you still dare to scare Sister Ying. Do you dare to be lawless just because you are a young lady from the county prince's palace?"

"Mom, please stop being angry. Sister Ying is obviously the one who made the mistake in this matter."

Liu Fangniang was angry: "It's true that Sister Ying has been wronged. Madam, you don't have to deliberately throw dirty water on Sister Ying, right?"

Song Xia snorted coldly: "It seems that I, the mistress of the Zhou Mansion, am not qualified to discipline a selfish concubine? Mr. Lang, do you also think that I did something wrong by taking Sister Ying out to give porridge?" Already?"

Zhou Yongli said in a deep voice: "It is a good thing that you took Sister Ying out to give porridge, but it is also true that Sister Ying has been wronged."

Liu Fangniang glanced gloatingly upon hearing this, and Zhou Ying raised her eyebrows provocatively. Song Xia looked at them one by one. It seemed that she had focused all her attention on her son before, so that she raised their hearts. , they no longer have the humility that a concubine or a concubine should have.

"May I ask mother and husband? Sister Ying said she was injured and asked the imperial doctor to see her?"

"You want to call the imperial doctor for a small matter at home. Do you want to stay at home and feel restless?"

"That is to say, Sister Ying's injury is not serious. If my daughter-in-law is right, Sister Ying may have only scratched her palm a little."

"Sister Ying is a dignified young lady from the Zhou family. Her skin and flesh are so delicate. You still say this is a trivial matter?"

"Where is your daughter-in-law?" Song Xia stretched out her palm. When she returned, her hand had been washed clean, but many small scars could still be seen. "Mother and husband blamed me for treating Sister Ying harshly. Could it be that my daughter-in-law did better than Sister Ying?" Are you young?"

Liu Fangniang's expression changed. She didn't even notice Song Xia's changes just now!
Song Xia continued: "For such a minor injury, I ran back crying without caring about the Zhou family's face, and complained to you in a very serious manner. Is it wrong for my daughter-in-law to ask Sister Ying to kneel down?"

"This……"

"She is not allowed to do the porridge alone. It is the daughter-in-law who sets an example first. I, the mistress, can do it, so why can't she, a concubine, do it?"

"I..." "Sister Ying, since I don't want to pray for your two brothers, I told you yesterday that I will not force you today. Why didn't you do it well when you went there? It hurt the face of the Zhou family, and why did you come back to pray for it?" Did your father and grandmother file a complaint?"

"lady……"

"Mr. Lang!" Song Xia looked over one by one and scolded sternly, "Sister Ying disregards the etiquette and despises me as the mistress of the house. It's just that she is young. Why don't you distinguish between right and wrong and listen to her nonsense? If I don't tell the difference today, will you still punish me, your mistress, for a concubine who tells lies?"

"How could it be as serious as you said?"

"It's not that serious. Why did you ask me to come to my mother's Fushou Hall for interrogation before I entered the house or allowed me to change my clothes? When I opened my mouth to punish Sister Ying's child, you still scolded me for being lawless? A concubine, Even if I really treat her harshly, can you punish me? I am the mistress of the house, and you let her, a concubine, trample on my dignity? Mr. Lang, you are the minister of etiquette, you should know etiquette better than me. yes!"

"Kneel down quickly!" Zhou Yongli said to Sister Ying, "Do you realize that you are wrong?"

With tears streaming down her face, Sister Ying looked at Mrs. Liu, then at Liu Fangniang, and knelt down reluctantly.

Song Xia continued: "I have a dignified mistress who is fashionable in giving porridge and does it herself. She is a concubine. She ran back home without any explanation and complained to you. For those who don't know, she thought that our Zhou family has no ethics! "

Zhou Yongli took a deep breath: "Sister Ying, from today onwards you will shut yourself up and think about your mistakes. When will you let your mother calm down and come out again?"

"I don't care about her affairs any more. I resent my mistress so much that even if I take her out to give porridge, I can ask you to hold me accountable. If I suffer any grievances again in the future, I won't be able to wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River. ? Langjun, I don’t dare to care about Sister Ying’s temperament anymore. From now on, Sister Ying can trouble Langjun and mother to teach her.”

Zhou Yongli softened his tone: "Sister Ying is a child after all..."

"Mr. Sir, don't blame me for being stingy. I have been giving porridge all day today and I am already very tired. I didn't expect to suffer such injustice when I come back. Mr. Sir, there is no need to persuade me. Moreover, Mr. Liu always praises Aunt Liu as a virtuous and virtuous woman. Aunt Liu is her biological mother, so she must be better at disciplining her than my mistress."

After Song Xia finished speaking, she saluted Mrs. Liu again: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has to leave first. My daughter-in-law will go to give porridge tomorrow morning. I will come back to pay my respects to my mother another day."

After she finished speaking, she left, leaving behind a group of angry and staring people.

Liu Fangniang quickly knelt down with her daughter: "If Yong Lang is to blame, blame me. It's my fault that I didn't educate Sister Ying well."

Zhou Yongli said in a deep voice: "She did act boldly today. Sister Ying, do you know your mistake?"

Sister Ying cried louder, and Mrs. Liu quickly protected her: "I think Song Xia said it too seriously. What's wrong with girls being more delicate?"

"Even if you are squeamish, you shouldn't be like her who ignores etiquette, accuses the mistress, confuses right and wrong, and traps you and me in the name of being indifferent to right from wrong."

Liu Fangniang said sadly: "Yonglang, Sister Ying is still young. Don't scare her. Even if you say this about her, what future will she have in the future?"

Zhou Yongli sighed: "Now that she has made Song Xia unhappy, will she have a future? Can you or mother take her out to banquets in various mansions?"
