Rebirth of the Banshee Concubine

Chapter 40
After a while, Liunian and Liuying came in.The two greeted each other respectfully and said, "Slaves see the old lady! See the master!"

Qi Zhongqing snorted, and said majestically: "Tell me, you two, how could the Second Miss be beaten so badly in the General's Mansion today?"

Liu Ying and Liu Nian knelt on the ground with a plop, and Liu Nian raised his eyes and replied: "Returning to the master, today the second lady suddenly yelled loudly at the birthday banquet, saying that a thief had groped into the backyard of the general's mansion. It's not good if there is danger. So under the shout of the second lady, the ladies and distinguished guests followed to the warm pavilion where the eldest lady rested, only to find that the eldest lady was not there, and even the thief was gone!"

"Old Madam Ning fainted from anxiety because she was worried about the safety of the eldest lady. The second lady wanted to go to support the old matriarch, but knocked Madam Ning down. Miss used to go to the toilet, and woke up the old lady when she came back. The general's wife was furious and slapped the second lady thirty, as a punishment for the collision with the second lady."

Qi Tianjiao immediately retorted when she heard the words: "You nonsense slave! I obviously asked my eldest sister for help, but instead of saying good things for me, she helped outsiders to get rid of me! I was beaten thirty times, She is also responsible! She deliberately watched me humiliate and lose face, woo woo..."

Old Madam Qi frowned even more, she understood immediately after hearing what Fleeting Nian said.Tianjiao was so reckless this day, the general's wife was knocked down by her!The rest of the noble ladies and daughters were also implicated, and these thirty slaps were considered a small punishment.Tianjiao's temperament is already domineering and domineering, so she must be punished for refusing to accept it. When she returns home, she wants the villain to file a complaint first, so that Tianxiang will also be punished!Alas, this girl is not worrying!

Lianshi is used to observing words and expressions, and immediately noticed the looseness between the old matriarch's brows.There was a burst of anger in her heart, and Lian immediately twitched and said: "Old Madam, even if Jiaoer's mouth is about to get into trouble, Tianxiang, as the eldest sister, not only does not plead for her own sister, but instead, in order to make good friends with her grandfather's family, she will do it in vain. Ruin the face of Duke Qi's mansion!"

Qi Tianxiang sneered from the bottom of her heart, this Lianshi is really not a good person.But what she said hit the old lady's vanity, what the old lady valued most was the face of the Duke's House.Lian's words immediately made the old lady prefer Tianjiao again.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qi immediately forgot the conclusion she had just reached.Thinking of the old lady's birthday banquet in the General's Mansion, she didn't post a post to the Duke's Mansion, but directly sent a post to Tian Xiang, a junior.I was already annoyed at the bottom of my heart, but now that it involves the face of the Duke's mansion, I immediately scolded: "Tianxiang, you are a child of the Qi family after all, blood is thicker than water! No matter what mistakes Tianjiao made, you actually joined forces with outsiders to bully your sister , how can this make sense?"

The forbearance in Qi Tianxiang's heart has reached its limit, now remember that she, Qi Tianxiang, is also from the Qi family?Do you recognize the phrase "blood is thicker than water"?Then you took my mother's dowry and ignored my existence for so many years, why didn't you remember me as a member of the Qi family at this time?
"Grandmother really blamed Tianxiang! It's not that Tianxiang ignored it. At first Tianxiang did plead for the second younger sister, but the second younger sister was impulsive and provoked the dignity of the elders again and again, so Tianxiang had more than enough heart. insufficient!"

Qi Tianjiao became anxious when she heard the words, and pointed at Qi Tianxiang viciously, and shouted loudly: "Qi Tianxiang, don't talk nonsense! You just distort the facts and turn black and white, and you only wish that my face would be swollen and your face disfigured." Are you happy!"

"Shut up!" Qi Tianxiang's eyes turned cold, and she snapped, "If you weren't used to speaking freely and being domineering, how could you have caused trouble for nothing? I have already pleaded for you, but you were not convinced and spoke out against your aunt. Aunt is the general's wife, the head of the general's house! You are so ignorant of good and bad, and ignore her majesty, you still don't know how to repent!"

"If you weren't arrogant and domineering, how could your aunt beat you up? You don't know etiquette, you don't respect your elders, and you don't have the rules when you call your sister-in-law by her first name. This is Aunt Lianniang A concubine who has been taught for so many years?"

Lianshi's eyes widened when she heard the words, she was annoyed and looked at Qi Tianxiang with hatred at the same time.

How could Qi Tianxiang allow her to intervene, and continued to press her step by step: "If it weren't for the lax rules of our Duke's mansion, why would the second sister lose face in the Duke's mansion in public? Daddy, do you really see?" If they don't come out, isn't it just that they have lost the face of our Duke's Mansion?"

"If the second younger sister has self-knowledge, self-recognition of identity, knowledgeable and reasonable manners, and considerate manners, how can she be slapped and then affect the face of the Duke's Mansion?"

Qi Tianxiang had been waiting for this opportunity, and usually the servants in the mansion would call these three aunts by their madam.After so many years, they seem to have forgotten the fact that they are just concubines, and today Tianxiang wants them to recognize themselves again!

As the only prostitute daughter of the Duke's Mansion, Tianxiang's status is much more noble than that of the mother and daughter of the Lian family.Lianshi is only an aunt on the left, and can only be half a master. To put it bluntly, she is just a high-ranking servant among the servants.Just now Tianjiao actually called her sister-in-law by her first name. This is still in the mansion. One can imagine that if she leaves the mansion, she will only be more arrogant and rude to Tianxiang.

Qi Zhongqing was stunned, looked at Tianjiao, who had always been loved, and at Tianxiang, who had been neglected but spoke eloquently, and was at a loss for a moment.

Lian's whole body trembled with anger, she has been in charge of the Duke's residence for so many years.In fact, she really forgot that she was a concubine, and always regarded herself as the wife of the wife.And the servant girl always called her madam, so she got used to it.Now that Tianxiang emphasizes the strong mention of the word again, and there are rules, how can she not make her hate it!

"Master—" Lian's face was full of pain and sadness: "Is it easy for me for so many years? I have worked hard for this family. Now that the young lady said that I am her elder after all, right? How could she criticize Yu so much?" Me? Ahhh——I don’t want to live!”

Qi Tianxiang sneered as she watched Lianshi beating her chest and stamping her feet, acting like she was dead wronged and sad.With a cold snort, Tianxiang continued: "Grandmother, today the world is ruled by benevolence and filial piety, and the world is pacified by rules. If you don't follow rules, you can't be square. To rule the country, you must first rule the family! If the family is not harmonious, how can the head of the family have a leisurely mind? Are you willing to petition for the people and do your best for the country? The harmony and well-being of the family must be bound by rules! With the rules, the whole family will know what is superior and inferior, what is a concubine, and what is keeping one's duty! Such a Come, the family can really be peaceful and healthy, grandma said, is this the truth?"

Mrs. Qi immediately glanced at Lianshi, dissatisfaction welled up in her heart.In fact, she was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Lianshi has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, taking all the good things for her own use, while others can only get second-class supplies.Although it is said that Lian Shi occasionally gave her a lot of good things in the name of filial piety, but compared to what she occupied herself, it is simply not worth mentioning.And because of her natal family's relationship, this Lianshi doesn't take her mother-in-law seriously, she really doesn't keep her duty, there are no rules or distances!
"Zhong'er, I think the girl Tianxiang is right! Although our Duke's Mansion is not comparable to the royal family, it is not an ordinary family! There is no distinction between seniority and inferiority, rules of elder and younger, and etiquette. There is no mistake at all! This censor is used to holding on, so many eyes are staring at him! I am used to it, and I am used to making mistakes when it is hard to guarantee that there are distinguished guests! I think from now on, the rules of the mansion must be strictly enforced. Let’s change the address of the servants to the aunts first!”

As soon as this remark came out, Lianshi raised her eyes that were dry but not rainy, and her whole body trembled.

Qi Tianjiao was still crying, but she stopped crying when she heard the words, but stared at Old Madam Qi with wide eyes in disbelief.She had already seized the opportunity, wanted to sue, and insisted on making Qi Tianxiang fall into a big somersault!But why did Qi Tianxiang keep talking about the distinction between superiority and inferiority without saying anything?She is a concubine, if you really want to talk about dignity, what face will she have in the future?
"Grandmother..." Qi Tianjiao looked at Old Madam Qi sadly and said, "Obviously it's the elder sister who is willing to die, but you are so partial to the elder sister, how can your granddaughter be convinced..."

Old Madam Qi stared at Qi Tianjiao when she heard the words, and said coldly to Qi Tianjiao: "Look at yourself like this! Which boudoir daughter is like this to you? Openly contradicting the elders! Zhong'er, can you see clearly? This girl is so unruly and ignorant of etiquette in front of my grandmother! How does Aunt Lian teach her daughter? I think if Aunt Lian can't even teach a girl well, then she should quickly abdicate in the management of the back house Let Xian!"

When Lian heard this in vain, she was startled immediately.She finally got this favor, but she can't let it out so easily! "Old lady, calm down! It's all the poor concubine's fault! The poor concubine must remember the old lady's teaching today, and she must strictly discipline Tianjiao in the future! The old lady will spare the poor concubine and Tianjiao this time!"

Qi Tianjiao was trembling with hatred, when did her own mother be so humble?It's just that she has angered her grandmother impulsively just now, if she opens her mouth to entangle with this matter at this time, there will definitely be no good end.Glancing at Liu Nian and Liu Ying from the corner of the eye, Qi Tianjiao viciously took care of her.

"Grandmother, calm down. It's Tianjiao's lack of etiquette that made you angry! Tianjiao doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and has no respect for elders. Tianjiao is willing to be punished for this crime! But when it comes to rules, Tianjiao thinks that these two girls If you disrespect Tianjiao and offend Tianjiao, you will offend the next one, and according to the government regulations, at least you will be dragged out and punished by the [-]th boss!" Since she is talking about things with rules and etiquette, she is not a fool.

Liu Nian and Liu Ying were surprised when they heard this, when did they offend Qi Tianjiao?

Qi Tianxiang sneered and said, "Second sister, why did you say that? When, where, and why did my two maids offend you?"

Qi Tianjiao immediately told about today's situation, and accused Liu Nian and Liu Ying of ignoring her words, and mixed her own disgust in it.In short, the two of them only listened to Tianxiang's words, ignored her, and contemptuously waited for her.

Qi Tianxiang was amused, but at the same time she really hesitated whether this Qi Tianjiao was the daughter of the Lian family.The difference between the mother and daughter is really too much!Pursing her lips and smiling, Tianxiang said: "Second sister's words are wrong. Liunian and Liuying are my personal maids. If they don't serve their master well, is it possible that they have to serve others with their master's honor?"

"What's more, the general's mansion only sent me a post. Obviously, the second and fourth younger sisters had no chance to go to the general's mansion. It was because of the entanglement between the two of you that you insisted on going. Because of my grandmother's birthday party, the stewards outside the mansion made an exception to sell me. I'll let you come into the mansion to pay homage to your birthday with a thin noodle."

"At this moment, the second sister has one mouthful, and my maids only care about me, the master, but ignore you and don't let you do whatever you want! Don't you think the reason of the second sister is too ridiculous? If I remember correctly, then Now the second sister is only focused on catching thieves, why is she free to drink and eat snacks in the banquet hall?"

Tianxiang's words couldn't be more obvious, this Qi Tianjiao clearly saw the thieves heading towards the Nuan Pavilion, but still bluffed and purposely brought all the female family guests there.Its intentions are not malicious!
