The real wife of the house fight will not go to court

Chapter 23

But no matter how they return to normal, there are still some things that cannot be concealed, such as the eighth young master's face is painted, sister Zhu's hair is torn apart, and the young masters and young ladies from the third aunt have more or less Or less injured.

Jiang's eyes swept over them coldly, and even Rong Lanxue who was standing by the side couldn't help shivering, but just when she thought Jiang was about to explode, she suddenly turned her face away. Mrs. Ye asked aloud: "Ms. Ye, did you go to the garden today?"

Mrs. Ye didn't know, so she answered truthfully: "Yes, let Jin'er lead the way, and took Xue'er for a stroll."

Jiang asked again: "Have you ever been near Shifang?"

Ye's heart skipped a beat, could it be that the stone boat can't go up at will?However, since he has already gone, it is useless to panic, let's just tell the truth, so he nodded.

Jiang did not continue to ask about Shifang as she thought, but pointed to the aunt who was still kneeling on the ground and asked, "Ms. Ye, have you ever seen her burning paper money near Shifang?"

Why did a burning paper money suddenly appear?Surprised, Ye shook her head subconsciously.

When Sister Zhu saw her shaking her head, her face was visibly relaxed.

Jiang asked Rong Lanxue the same question again.

Rong Lanxue naturally shook her head.

Sister Zhu's expression was almost about to become joyful.

But at this moment, Jiang asked Rong Lanxue another question: "Then did you meet Auntie near Shifang?"

Sister Zhu never expected Jiang to ask such a question in the opposite direction, she scolded her for being treacherous and cunning in her heart, and then quickly gave Rong Lanxue a wink.

Rong Lanxue was about to answer Jiang's words when she saw sister Zhu with disheveled hair winking at her.Does this mean asking her to help you lie?Rong Lanxue guessed in her heart, but her movements didn't stop at all, she shook her head at Jiang Shi.

The expression on Sister Zhu's face immediately turned into anger.

Rong Lanxue didn't take it seriously. Although she and Sister Zhu were sisters by blood, they had no friendship at all. Why should she lie for her?Besides, who knows if she did this on purpose, so as to beat her up?She is still in the Rong Mansion and cannot protect herself, but she can't stand other people's calculations, even if it's not a calculation, she can't afford to be dragged into the water, so she should answer truthfully, at least for peace of mind.

Mrs. Jiang asked Mrs. Ye the same question again, Mrs. Ye shook her head in the same way, so Mrs. Jiang laughed: "So, although Auntie Ye and Xue'er didn't see that Mrs. Ye burned the paper money, it doesn't prove that it's true. She didn't have a fever, because they never met the aunt."

Sister Zhu guessed that she would come to such a conclusion, her face turned pale.And the auntie kept leaning over, but she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

"As for Sister Zhu—" Jiang continued, "Although she is also near the stone boat, it does not mean that she is on guard for my aunt. After all, there is something wrong with playing, so I will punish her to copy the "Women's Commandments" again, what do you think?"

It turned out that it was just copying "The Precepts for Women", and Qi Yiniang's heart fell to the ground immediately, and she hurriedly shouted that my wife is wise and the punishment is appropriate.

The third aunt was very dissatisfied. It was not just once or twice that Sister Zhu helped the eldest aunt to guard the whistle. Everyone knew it well, but the wife always favored her.Can copying "The Commandments for Women" be called punishment?

But no matter whether she was convinced or not, she did not dare to say a word of disapproval, and so did the other aunts, so the punishment for Sister Zhu was decided without any objection.

"But Auntie—" Jiang was obviously satisfied with the effect, and continued with a smile, "It is an unforgivable crime to violate the family rules again and again and burn paper money in the garden without permission, but I think she is Yin Sizi. Sincerely, so I am extra lenient and only fined her to be grounded for a month, how about that?"

What does it matter whether the punishment is appropriate or not?Almost all aunts think so in their hearts.The aunt's only son is dead, and she is not favored. It has long been a thing of the past. For the aunts, there is no competition and threat. She cannot be punished, and it does not hinder them. Good thing, so, no matter what Jiang said, they all felt indifferent from the bottom of their hearts, and just nodded in agreement.

However, the end of the year is approaching, and Rong Tiancheng will be back in about a month. If she is grounded, won't she even lose the qualification to welcome Rong Tiancheng?Jiang shi was not so kind to let her out in time.Thinking of this, the faces of the aunts showed more or less pity.

The aunt herself didn't react at all, she kowtowed to Jiang Shi, and then followed the maids in Jiang Shi's room out without saying a word.But Rong Lanxue clearly saw stubbornness in her attitude, and felt that as long as she had the chance, she would continue to burn paper money.

It makes sense for my aunt to burn paper money in the garden because she missed her only son, regardless of family rules, but why did sister Zhu help her?Her biological mother was Seventh Aunt, not Great Aunt.

"Let's all go away." Jiang's voice came from above, with a calm tone, and then turned to Ye and Rong Lanxue to express his apology: "The family education is not strict, let the two of you see a joke."

This obviously excludes Ye Shi and Rong Lanxue from the Rong family and treats them as outsiders. Both Ye Shi and Rong Lanxue feel a little uncomfortable, but before Rong Tiancheng comes back, no one can prove their identities , even if I feel wronged, I can only endure it first.

All the aunts walked out in an orderly manner with the young masters and ladies they gave birth to. Mrs. Ye pulled up the corners of her mouth and forced a smile at Mrs. Jiang, then pulled Rong Lanxue and followed the aunts out.

Perhaps the air pressure in the main room was too low just now, the aunts hadn't recovered their senses, the whole journey was silent, and when they arrived at the fork of the Chaoshou corridor, they also left silently without even saying hello to each other.Affected by this atmosphere, Rong Lanxue and Mrs. Ye also had nothing to say all the way, just walking with their heads buried in their heads, but as soon as they passed through the small door along the wall, they were stopped by sister Zhu who came out of nowhere.

Sister Zhu still had her hair disheveled, with a fierce face, she pointed at Rong Lanxue and asked viciously, "Why didn't you say that you met Auntie at Shifang's place? I even gave you the wink!"

Rong Lanxue said indifferently: "Because I really haven't met my aunt, I didn't even know her identity until just now."

"You! Don't you know how to help tell a lie?" Sister Zhu jumped up and down in anger.

Rong Lanxue looked at her small stature, jumping around with her hair loose, like a great dancer, and couldn't help laughing: "It's wrong to lie, didn't your husband teach you? "

"What do you know!" Sister Zhu's eyes were red, "Auntie is a poor person, her only son is dead, and there is no one around to talk to, she just wants to go to the garden to burn some money for herself It's just my own son, but I still can't get what I want, it's really sad. You are too sympathetic!"

"Poor?" Rong Lanxue sneered, "Why do I feel that my mother and I are the most pitiful people in this mansion? Life is desperate, forced to travel long distances, to this unfamiliar place, dare not say a word , I didn’t dare to take a step, and I was inexplicably asked to give false testimony as soon as I came. You blame me for not being sympathetic, but why have you ever sympathized with me? Have you ever thought that before my father came back, my mother and I We live by your wife's kindness, and if we offend her, we will have to sleep on the street and wait to starve to death."

Sister Zhu showed embarrassment, but still defended: "God knows this matter, you know me, even if you lie, my wife will not know."

"If the wife doesn't know anything, how did she know that my aunt burned the paper money in the garden? Someone must have found the clues?" Seeing that she was still entangled in this, Rong Lanxue became a little impatient, "Are you The upright eighth miss of the Rong family is naturally courageous, no matter how much you make a mistake, you won't be kicked out of the house, and as for me, once I give false testimony and your wife finds out, I will die."

Sister Zhu's lips twitched, wanting to say more.But Mrs. Ye also felt that Sister Zhu was too difficult for others, so before she could say anything, she said: "Sister Zhu, think about it for us, it's not easy for anyone. We still need to live on the pity of others, so how can we do that?" Use your strength to sympathize with others." As he spoke, he pulled Rong Lanxue up and walked away, saying to her as he walked, "You are right not to help them, let's not wade into this muddy water."

Rong Lanxue took it for granted.

She was worried that Sister Zhu would catch up with her, so she turned her head and found that Auntie Seven was beside Sister Zhu, scolding her sternly, it seemed that she had sneaked over without telling Auntie Seven.

She turned her head, met Ye's inquiring eyes, and said: "Although Sister Zhu is a little confused about the world, she has a good heart, otherwise she wouldn't feel sorry for an aunt who has no support in this family."

They went back to Zhuxuan, but there was no Jin'er, there was hot tea on the table, Rong Lanxue poured two cups, and was about to quench their thirst with Mrs. Ye, when they saw Sister Zhu, who had just met, come out of the bamboo grove. Flying towards a bamboo leaf.She looked behind Sister Zhu, but she didn't see Qi Yiniang, so she said, "Miss Eight, did you sneak out again?"

Sister Zhu neither admitted nor denied, but hurriedly said: "I figured it out, you are indeed the most pitiful people in this mansion. So I decided not to help my aunt in the future, but to help you! "

"Thank you for your kindness. When we need help, I will definitely tell you." Rong Lanxue laughed dumbly, but there was some warmth in her heart.Regardless of how sincere Sister Zhu's words were, at least she was the first person to say them to her.

Ye Shi also felt that Sister Zhu's nature was not bad, and said with a smile: "I also thank you for your kindness, but you should go back quickly, so as not to be punished by your aunt again."

When Sister Zhu heard her mention Qi Yiniang, she looked back nervously, then turned her head and stuck out her tongue, then turned and went back to the bamboo forest.In the dense bamboo forest, there is a secret path, probably only a child like Sister Zhu who runs around unrestrained all day knows.She walked along the path and soon reached the main road leading to the courtyards. After turning a few more turns, she returned to the Qicai residence where Aunt Qi lived.

Seventh Yiniang was waiting to pick her up in front of the courtyard gate, when she saw her appear, she grabbed her directly, patted her several times, and scolded: "You are not allowed to associate with those two who live in Zhuxuan, do you hear me?!"

Sister Zhu was not convinced, and said: "They said, they are my father's wife and daughter, that is my aunt and sister, why can't I associate with them?"

Qi Yiniang was so frightened that she covered her mouth, looked around nervously, then dragged her into the room, closed the door, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, your aunt lives in the main room, where is it?" Another aunt, be careful not to be passed on to the wife's ears, so that you can't eat and walk around."
