Chapter 4 The Old Lady's Punishment

The maid Songyan stood beside Liu, and when she heard this, she immediately stepped forward, helped Wen Qingzhu up, and took her to sit on the empty seat at the top.

"Miss Seven, take care of your body." Songyan was very clever, heard the old lady's deep meaning, and sat on the upper seat with her.

Seeing this, Wen Qinglan couldn't sit still, and couldn't help but speak: "Grandmother! Wen Qingzhu, she-"

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Wu's face changed.

She immediately got up and pulled Wen Qinglan to kneel on the ground and pleaded guilty: "The concubine has no way to teach, and she is willing to accept the punishment, and she also asks the old lady to punish Qinglan lightly." ”

Liu glanced at them expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "This Chunbi is the person of the seven girls, but the four girls brought her in, you can explain it, what do you say?" ”

Aunt Wu knelt on the ground, her whole body covered in cold sweat.

This Wen Qinglan hid it from her and stabbed the matter to the old lady, and she had to explain it head-on.

"This Chunbi has been serving in the West Courtyard for a while, Qinglan looks at her well, this time she went out, Chunbi was wronged, Qinglan couldn't bear to ruin Chunbi's life, it is really not appropriate to disturb the old lady, this matter, let the concubine take it back to Yanyuan to deal with it."

In a few words, all the good things were said by her.

Although Liu doesn't care much about Yan Yuan's affairs, she pays the most attention to rules.

Wen Qinglan is a concubine, and she blatantly doesn't take her grandmother seriously, which is really a bit of a broken rule.

"Since it's already disturbed, let's solve it here." Liu retracted his gaze, looked at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Seven girls, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Wen Qingzhu carefully repeated it again according to what the guest house said before.

"You and Master Huixin are discussing in the Plum Garden?" After hearing this, Liu was surprised.

"Yes, after the granddaughter found out that the hairpin was missing, Chunbi was not there, so she went out to look for it, and happened to meet Master Huixin enjoying the plum." Wen Qingzhu behaved very humbly and obediently.

Liu pondered in his heart, this master of the Hui generation is not very common.

Although she hadn't heard of Huixin, the people in Fengguo Temple definitely didn't know Wen Qingzhu, after all, she had only gone to Fengguo Temple for the second time.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu made a decision: "Grandma Sun! Send someone to search Chunbi's room! ”

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present were different.

The old lady didn't like the Lu family, and she didn't like Wen Qingzhu.

The Lu family did not conceive a child for three years, and she took advantage of Wen San's absence to force the Lu family to make the decision and accept the Wu family's concubine for Wen San.

Therefore, the Wu family is still a little thin in front of the old lady.

Today, the old lady is unusual, and she wants to make decisions for Wen Qingzhu.

In less than half an hour, Grandma Sun came back with someone.

She held a bag in her hand, spread it out and saw that there were golden hostas and bracelets with a style of neither new nor old, and there were eighteen kinds of bracelets.

With such a amount of jewelry, even the Wu family doesn't have eight, not to mention Chunbi, a maid who was assigned halfway.

How things are, at a glance.

Aunt Wu immediately kowtowed and apologized: "The concubine is not strict in discipline, please punish the old lady." ”

Wen Qinglan, who was kneeling beside her, was unwilling, and before she could raise her head, she was pinched by Aunt Wu.

Liu was very satisfied with Aunt Wu's deference, nodded slightly, and lightly dropped Wu's hair.

Chunbi was beaten with twenty boards, and then sold for twenty taels of silver.

Aunt Wu's discipline was not strict, and she was punished for a month, Wen Qinglan did not know people clearly, and was grounded for ten days.

After everyone retreated, the Liu family left Wen Qingzhu alone and carefully asked about Master Huixin's situation.

Wen Qingzhu naturally wouldn't tell her the truth, only Huixin's talent and insight.

After being disappointed, Liu waved them away.

Back in the east courtyard of Yanyuan, Wen Qingzhu had just walked into the courtyard and saw a little maid running out of the house.

When she saw her, the little maid put her hands behind her back, turned around and ran towards the wing.

"Stop!" Green Tao shouted and chased after him in a few steps.

The little maid was so frightened that she pounced, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Miss! The slave didn't do anything! ”

"Hand over what you've got in your hands!" Wen Qingzhu looked indifferent.

Green Tao was shocked: "You stole something again!" ”

Holding down the little girl's shoulder, Green Tao took out a bunch of keys from her sleeve.

"How dare you steal the key to your master's cage! Hurry up today, and sell it with you and Chunbi! Lu Tao was so angry that his face was flushed, and he slapped the little maid in the face.

The little maid kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying and explaining: "It's not about slaves and maids!" Sister Ruyun asked the slave to steal it! ”

Bang bang bang a few times, the little girl has kowtowed her head and bled out.

"It's the one who listens to Qin Xuan!" Green Tao himself was shocked.

Wen Qingzhu also frowned, Ruyun was the big girl beside Aunt Yue.

In her memory, Aunt Yue has always been very low-key.

Although there are some means, since the death of her mother Lu, Aunt Yue has been so pressed by Aunt Wu that she can't hold her head up.

Until she got married, Aunt Yue didn't seem to turn over.

"Xi'er, it's okay." Wen Qingzhu gently helped the little maid up, and then led her into the house.

After instructing Lu Tao to bring the medicine box, Wen Qingzhu personally treated her wounds.

Xi'er's face was full of panic, she was just a third-class maid, and she was only sold into the Wen Mansion two years ago.

Because he didn't know anyone, and he wasn't clever, he was sent to Wen Qingzhu.

"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, since Ruyun asked you to steal the key, you will take the time to find her and tell her that you didn't steal it."

Wen Qingzhu comforted her very gently, after all, she was just a teenage girl.

"Miss!" The green pottery around him couldn't stand it.

Wen Qingzhu shook his head and motioned for Green Tao not to interfere.

Then, she comforted Xi'er a few more words.

Miraculously, Xi'er gradually quieted down.

After staring at Wen Qingzhu for a long time, Xi'er said sneeringly: "Little, doesn't Miss really blame the slave?" ”

"It's no wonder, it's me who is not favored, and I have affected your subordinates." Wen Qingzhu was well aware of his situation and did not blame anyone.

"Okay, the slave will go to Sister Ruyun tonight." Xi'er was still a little scared, but she was much better.

After Xi'er left, Lu Tao asked: "A maid like this who eats inside and outside should be sold!" Why did the young lady stop the slave? And give her the medicine!? ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and only said, "You go to the kitchen to get dinner first, I'm hungry." ”

Green Tao wanted to say something more, but seeing that it was getting late, he still went.

When the green pottery left, the smile on Wen Qingzhu's face faded, and a layer of frost condensed.

If she remembers correctly, this set of keys finally went to Aunt Wu's hands.

A quarter of an hour later, the green pottery came back with a spring breeze.

Put the food box on the table, and the green pottery laid out a meat, a vegetarian and a soup.

"Miss! Those snobs in the kitchen today can be regarded as having figured it out, and finally know that the young lady is the young lady in the house! ”

A trace of indifference flashed in Wen Qingzhu's eyes, and then he beckoned: "You can also sit down and eat together." ”
