Yan Zhigao angrily stepped into Mrs. Yan's house. As soon as he entered, he found that the house was very quiet. Except for the old lady and the waiting grandma, no one else was there.

When Sun Ma saw Yan Zhigao come in, she saluted him, then quietly left the house, and carefully closed the door after going out.

Seeing this, Yan Zhigao was stunned.

"Where are you from?" Old Mrs. Yan's voice sounded indistinguishable from joy or anger.

Yan Zhigao raised his eyes and glanced at the old lady. Seeing that she didn't look at him, he was a little unsure of what she meant, so he said, "My son just came back from the office."

Mrs. Yan glanced at the still angry elder and asked: "Since you have just joined the Yamen, why do you look like this? Is there something unresolved in the Yamen?"

Yan Zhigao shook his head, walked to the chair below the old lady and sat down: "It's not about the Yamen. It's because my son got angry when he heard that Daohua openly contradicted Master Qin, making Master Qin so angry that he couldn't attend class."<

/p>

Mrs. Yan: "Who did you hear this from?"

"It was Mrs. Lin who told her son."

Yan Zhigao said it without much thought, but as soon as he said it, he felt that it was not good. Sure enough, with a 'bang', Mrs. Yan slapped her hand on the table.

"Okay, now you have to lie to your own mother for a concubine?"

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao looked panicked: "Where did my mother start talking about this? How dare my son deceive my mother?"

Mrs. Yan sneered: "Don't you dare? Then I asked you where you were from just now, why didn't you say you came from the Lin family?"

Yan Zhigao: "...Son, this is not because you have a problem with Mr. Lin, so..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan became even more angry: "It turns out that in your eyes, my mother is such a narrow-minded villain. What are you afraid of by hiding it for Mrs. Lin? Are you afraid that I will beat her, or are you afraid of me?

Scold her?"

Yan Zhigao became anxious: "Mom, that's not what my son meant."

Mrs. Yan glanced at Yan Zhigao with some disappointment: "You only know that I have a problem with Mrs. Lin, but have you ever thought about why?"

Yan Zhigao glanced at the old lady, he was also confused.

Lin is well-educated, virtuous and virtuous. Logically speaking, he should be very popular with the old lady, but the reality is that after coming here for so long, the old lady has never given Lin a good look at all.

He didn't feel comfortable asking his mother about this in person, let alone saying good things about Aunt Lin. He was afraid it would be counterproductive, so he kept silent.

There was a brief silence in the room.

Yan Zhigao felt that the atmosphere was weird and had to find another topic: "Mom, it's going to be dinner soon, why hasn't everyone come over yet?"

Mrs. Yan snorted coldly: "Since you know that everyone will come to my place to eat at this time, you still rush over to find Daohua with a face full of anger. I ask you, what do you want to do? Do you want to do it in front of everyone again?

Scold her?"

"For the sake of your Aunt Lin, you can hide it from me. Why don't you think about Daohua? You scolded her in front of so many people. Do you think she will have no shame in staying in this house in the future?"<

/p>

Yan Zhigao looked helpless: "Mom, it's not that my son wants to scold Daohua. In fact, Daohua went too far this time and openly contradicted the teacher. There are no rules at all. It doesn't matter whether it's okay or not."

Mrs. Yan's expression turned ugly: "I raised Daohua. Are you blaming me when you say she has no rules?"

Yan Zhigao had a headache: "Mom, don't be so messy. Let's talk about something, okay?"

"Bang!"

Mrs. Yan slammed the table again: "Am I being reckless, or are you just listening to what I believe?"

Yan Zhigao moved his lips, wanting to refute, but looking at the old lady's livid face, he could only lower his head and remain silent.

Mrs. Yan sneered: "I'm not an old fool yet. After these days here, I can finally understand that the mother and son in Shuangxinyuan are your darlings. Let me ask you, you only know how to contradict each other.

Commander, have you asked about the reason?"

Yan Zhigao muttered: "No matter what the reason is, you should not contradict the teacher."

Mrs. Yan glanced at her elder son and told her everything that Daohua had experienced in class: "You are the county magistrate, and you are used to solving cases. Tell me, Master Qin, whether he has lived up to his expectations as a teacher."

What’s your duty?”

Yan Zhigao looked surprised. He did not expect Master Qin to target his eldest daughter in class, and asked, "Is it possible that I made a mistake?"

Mrs. Yan snorted coldly: "There are so many people in class. If you don't believe it, you can ask others."

"This..." Yan Zhigao wondered, "No, why is this?"

He was a little confused as to why Master Qin did this.

Daohua is his eldest daughter. If he targets her, isn't this not giving him face?

Mrs. Yan looked at her eldest son and sighed: "Zhigao, you have been good at reading books since you were a child, and you have strong ability to do things, but when it comes to how to behave in the world, you are still far behind."

"I know that you dislike Mr. Li's background as a businessman, but ask yourself, if Mr. Li hadn't helped you take care of the housework these years, would you have been able to work in the front yard with peace of mind?"

Yan Zhigao retorted weakly: "Mother, Wen Xiu, after Wen Kai was born, I no longer dislike the Li family."

Among scholars, farmers, and merchants, businessmen had the lowest status. When he was young and frivolous, he really looked down on businessmen who smelled like copper.

But now that Mrs. Li has given him two sons and one daughter, he doesn't care much about her background as a businessman.

Old Mrs. Yan: "Then why did you accept Mrs. Lin? Didn't you just think that she has a scholar father and that she is very knowledgeable and can talk with you at night by candlelight?"

Yan Zhigao was a little uncomfortable being spoken to by Mrs. Yan, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Mrs. Yan: "I don't care about the affairs in your room. You can pamper your concubine, but you must not ignore your wife and the children she has. You must know that if you are too partial, it will be the source of chaos in the family."

At this time, Yan Zhigao couldn't help it anymore: "Mom, when did I ignore Li and Wenxiu?"

Mrs. Yan glanced at him sideways: "I'm not blind, but you know it yourself. Think about how you treated Wenbin and Yishuang, and how you treated Wenxiu, Wenkai and Daohua."

"Ms. Li's background is indeed not high enough, but she has helped you keep your home in order over the years. She has worked hard without any credit. As for your concubine, what has she done for you?"

"Zhigao, this person can't forget his roots. If I hadn't stopped him today, you would have just scolded Daohua without asking anything, right?"

"I don't know what your other children are like, but Daohua, this girl is very angry. She was wronged in what happened in class. If you scold her indiscriminately, she will alienate you.

”

Yan Zhi raised his eyebrows: "Mom, you dote on Daohua too much. Yes, it's my fault that I didn't find out what happened in class today, but Daohua contradicted the teacher. No matter what the reason, this is wrong.

It should."

Mrs. Yan: "Without the instigation of your concubine, could such a thing have happened?"

Yan Zhigao was helpless: "Mom, weren't you talking about Daohua? Why did you get involved with Mrs. Lin again?"

Mrs. Yan snorted coldly: "Does this matter have nothing to do with her? Then Master Qin dares to do this to Daohua, isn't it just because she is backing her? Go tell Mrs. Lin and ask her to calm down for me, Master again

, it’s her younger brother again, does she regard the Yan family as her own?"

Yan Zhigao: "Mom, if Mrs. Li could have invited Master Qin back then, I would not have taken Mrs. Lin's advice and asked Master Qin to come to my home for lessons. As for Mrs. Lin's younger brother, he is very knowledgeable and can really help his son.

."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan sighed in her heart.

This woman's status in her husband's family is directly related to her natal family, but the Li family's natal family is indeed far behind compared to the Lin family. Just Master Lin can compare with several of the Li family's business brothers.

"Anyway, please tell Mrs. Lin to be honest. She is a concubine and don't try to interfere in the upbringing of the girls. And you, it's true that you are the father, but the children also have children's thoughts, especially Daohua. She has not had it since she was a child.

Being raised by you, she is already a bit unfamiliar. If she encounters a problem, if you come up and scold her, this will push her further and further away."

Yan Zhigao was speechless: "Aren't you worried that she is pushing me further and further away?"

Mrs. Yan: "If that's really the case, then it's your fault."

Yan Zhigao was speechless: "Mom, I can see that Daohua is your sweetheart."

Mrs. Yan glared at him: "There's something really wrong with your eyes, that's why I saw it!"

"..."

Yan Zhigao was completely defeated.

Mrs. Yan got angry when she saw him and waved her hand: "Go away, I will let everyone eat in their own rooms tonight, you can go wherever you want."

"Son, resign!"

Yan Zhigao walked out of Songhe Courtyard with a headache, and walked toward Shuangxin Courtyard according to his instinct. When he was about to step into the door, he thought of what his mother said, turned around, and went to the main courtyard.
