Chapter 138 Taking the blame
Main courtyard.
When Mrs. Li saw Ping Xiao coming back, she immediately asked: "How is it? Has the eldest lady come out of the old lady's yard?"
Ping Xiao shook his head: "No, but the lights have been turned off in the old lady's courtyard. I think the eldest girl has slept there."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Just sleep."
Pingtong looked at the sky: "Madam, you are tired today, so you should go to bed early!"
Mrs. Li nodded, washed up, and lay down on the bed. She looked at the empty seat next to her and thought of Yan Zhigao's words in the old lady's room that she was not as good as Mrs. Lin. Tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of her eyes.
At the same time, the main courtyard of Zhou Mansion.
"I have decided that Jingwan should not have any contact with the eldest girl of the Yan family in the future. That girl usually looks pretty good, but when the critical moment comes, she becomes a bit unworthy and loses her sense of propriety." Mrs. Zhou looked ugly.
said.
When she just sent the wives of each family away, she often heard some gossip and sarcastic words of gloating.
This was the worst banquet ever held when she married into the Zhou family.
And all this was caused by the eldest girl of the Yan family.
After hearing this, Zhou Jingwan's face became anxious: "Mom, this matter has nothing to do with Daohua. If you want to blame it, blame the young prince. He has such a bad temper. He knew that today was grandpa's birthday, so he left in shame."
She likes to play with Daohua. When she is with her, she is comfortable, relaxed, and interesting. It is not like when she gets along with other ladies, where she has to observe etiquette and rules at all times.
Mrs. Zhou glared at her daughter: "Why do you, a little kid, get in the way when adults are talking? Even if you are right, the young prince has a bad temper, but he has a distinguished status. Can't the eldest daughter of the Yan family be coaxed?"
p>
"Humph, in the final analysis, it was because she was from a low background and had little knowledge. She thought that if the young prince gave her a good look, she could be unscrupulous in front of him. Little did she know that if she said something wrong, the young prince could punish her.
”
"Look, just because of her, the entire Yan family has to suffer with her. Who is the young prince? Even our Zhou family and Dong family have to be careful. How can the Yan family dare to offend the young prince?
?"
Mr. Zhou glanced at Mrs. Zhou dissatisfiedly: "We haven't figured out what happened yet, so don't jump to premature conclusions here." As he said that, he looked at his grandson.
"You were there at the time, tell me what happened?"
The young prince's temperament is a bit unruly, but he is definitely not someone who scorns others regardless of the occasion. The royal etiquette is engraved in his bones.
Zhou Chengye weakly raised his head, struggled and hesitated for a while, and said: "It seems...it seems that the young prince is angry because I ordered the wrong show."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou, who was filled with indignation just now, suddenly opened her mouth: "..." After being stunned for a while, she found her voice and asked with an unbelievable look on her face, "Chengye, what are you talking about?
,How could you have offended the young prince?"
Mr. Zhou frowned in displeasure: "Should you say it, or should Chengye do it?"
Mr. Zhou immediately pulled the horse and pulled his wife. Although Mrs. Zhou did not want to believe that her son had made a mistake, she still listened patiently.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Mr. Zhou looked at his eldest grandson: "What show did you order?"
Zhou Chengye said with a grimace: "...Happy Husband!"
"Pa!"
Mr. Zhou placed the teacup in his hand hard on the table, shocking everyone.
"You..."
Mr. Zhou pointed at Zhou Chengye with an angry look on his face. He endured it several times before yelling at his grandson, but he still said angrily: "Why did you just order this play?"
Zhou Chengye panicked and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, I really don't know if the young prince will like this play. I want to know, how could I order it?"
Seeing his eldest grandson blaming himself and worrying, Mrs. Zhou felt a little helpless, and finally sighed: "It's not your fault. You haven't been in the capital for a long time, so it's understandable that you don't know."
Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be pursuing further investigation, Zhou Chengye breathed a sigh of relief and asked with great confusion: "Grandpa, even if I ordered the wrong show, the young prince shouldn't be so angry, right?"
Mr. Zhou looked at his grandson, then at his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law, who were equally puzzled: "You just need to remember that the play "Jiu Husband" is taboo among the young prince, and you are not allowed to mention it again in the future."
Zhou Chengye nodded, and then asked: "Then do I want to apologize to the young prince?"
Mr. Zhou was silent for a moment: "After you went to the academy, just say that we didn't entertain you well and ask him to forgive you. Don't say anything else."
Zhou Chengye remembered the words in his heart, and the thoughts he had been thinking about all day finally settled in his stomach.
Zhou Jingwan was also happy: "Let me tell you, how could Daohua offend the young prince? Brother, this time Daohua took the blame for you, and you have to apologize to her."
Zhou Chengye nodded sheepishly.
Yes, as soon as the young prince left, everyone in the front yard or the backyard was saying that it was the eldest sister of the Yan family who had offended the young prince, and he should apologize.
The next day, because he had to go back to the academy, Zhou Chengye came to the Yan family early in the morning with gifts.
"Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan, we did not treat you well yesterday, which annoyed the young prince and scared sister Yan. My nephew is here to apologize."
Yan Zhigao was greatly surprised when he saw Zhou Chengye bowing his head seriously to apologize.
Didn’t the eldest daughter offend the young prince?
Seeing his father deep in thought and his mother silent, Yan Wenxiu had no choice but to step forward and help Zhou Chengye up: "Brother Zhou, what happened yesterday?"
What happened yesterday was so sudden that before he could react, the young prince strode away.
Zhou Chengye: "...Anyway, it was me who violated the young prince's taboo. By the way, where is Sister Yan? I heard from my Jingwan that she was frightened yesterday. Please come out and see me so that I can apologize in person."
."
At this time, Yan Zhigao had just come back to his senses, and when he heard this, he felt embarrassed.
Did you really blame your eldest daughter by mistake yesterday?
However, soon, Yan Zhigao straightened his body again.
Humph, even if the eldest daughter did not offend the young prince, she should be taught a lesson because of her attitude towards her elders yesterday.
"Master Zhou, please stop saying that. There is no need to apologize or not!"
Mrs. Li glanced at Yan Zhigao and quickly looked away. She thought that after what happened yesterday, her daughter must be uncomfortable staying at home. She immediately smiled and said: "My Daohua and the old lady went to Zhuangzi to relax. Mr. Zhou really used
No need to apologize."
Zhou Chengye was stunned: "Already gone?"
Mrs. Li nodded without changing her expression: "I left early in the morning."
It wasn't until he came out of Yan's house that Zhou Chengye asked Yan Wenxiu in a low voice: "Your family...didn't you blame Sister Yan yesterday?"
