The old lady was old and had never been on the road for so long. She fell ill as soon as she arrived in the capital. Shi Chunfen wanted to take care of her personally, but she didn't expect that the head of Huating County took care of her more thoughtfully than her, leaving her with no filial piety.
Useless.
Strange to say, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were previously incompatible with each other, not only cleared up their old grudges, but also got along better and better after taking care of Chu Ling together along the way. Aunt Liu wanted to take over the position of the head of Huating County and accompany the old lady several times.
Everyone around her was politely declined by the old lady, which made her feel uneasy, fearing that even her advantage of "serving her mother-in-law" would be outshone by the Huating County Lord.
On this day, while the head of Huating County came to the palace to inquire about the news, she led everyone to find the old lady again, hoping to get some accurate information from the old lady.
"Mother, we have been in the capital for several days. The emperor said he wanted to summon us, but he has yet to summon us. Do you have an idea of how things are going?"
"Yeah..." Cao Yingchun agreed: "We don't have to be afraid of death, and we can advance and retreat together with the Chu family, but we have to give it a happy life or death. What's the point of hanging us up every day?!"
The old lady had a cold face and didn't say a word from the moment they entered. Not only did she not answer their questions, she also glanced at Chu Yan and Chu Gui and said coldly: "Do you two think so too?"
?”
The two men were caught off guard when their names were called, and they quickly waved their hands to deny, "No... it's nothing. It's the emperor's right to try him whenever he wants. How can we dare to push him?"
"Ha!" the old lady sneered, "Then you are even more useless. You can't even take care of your own wives, and you let them ask such stupid questions!"
Hearing the last sentence, Aunt Liu and Cao Yingchun both changed their colors, while Chu Yan and Chu Gui shrank their necks and did not dare to speak.
Originally, the two of them did not approve of Aunt Liu and Cao Yingchun coming to ask, but the matter had not progressed, and they felt anxious in their hearts, so they let the two women come forward in a lucky mood. Unexpectedly, they were still beaten by the old lady.
He saw through it with his fiery eyes and scolded him in public.
Shi Chunfen saw that the old lady was agitated, and he was afraid that she would be upset, so he quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Grandma, don't be anxious. I think they have been holding it in for too long and have forgotten their sense of propriety."
"If you hold it in for too long, even the emperor can question it? If you hold it in for too long, you can become lawless?!" The old lady became more and more excited as she spoke, and even coughed violently.
Seeing this situation, Chu Yan and Chu Gui were also startled, and they stepped forward to comfort each other, "Mom, please calm down, we won't ask anymore. Don't be angry!"
Seeing that her husband had given up, Aunt Liu and Cao Yingchun looked at each other, and they quickly knelt down and admitted their mistake: "Mother, please calm down, my daughter-in-law has realized her mistake."
Seeing that they still knew how to advance and retreat, the old lady snorted coldly, and her emotions slowly calmed down. After finally regaining her composure, she glanced at everyone and said coldly: "This is not the Chu family, and it is at the feet of the emperor. I
I advise you all to be smarter and stop taking ignorance for granted as fun. Today I can indulge you in disregarding past events, but Qingqing won’t do it, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty won’t, and the emperor won’t even know it! If you are smart, something like this will happen
Don’t ask for words anymore, don’t ask, don’t speak, listen more and see more, do you know?!”
"Yes, mother (grandmother)." Everyone nodded, each one feeling ashamed and speechless.
The old lady looked around at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Aunt Liu, and said indifferently: "Where are Qian'er and Ying'er? Have you been honest during this period?"
Aunt Liu didn't expect that the old lady would ask this, her face suddenly became hot, and she felt like she had been slapped in public.
The old lady had just told them to be honest, but then she asked about Chu Qian and Chu Ying. Didn't this clearly mean that her two daughters were not honest enough and would bring trouble to the Chu family? How could she be happy?
No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only answer bravely, "They have become a lot more sensible. They didn't make any noise along the way. Please don't worry, mother."
That's what I said, but the entire Chu family knew the virtues of those two people. Chu Qian was okay and quite sensible. Chu Ying had been locked up by Aunt Liu before and was not allowed to come out to see people. Now she has to go to Beijing to be tried.
Because of this, I had to let her out. Naturally, she was like a wild horse running wild. She tried to escape several times, but Aunt Liu sent people to catch her back. Now she is like a little wild wolf with her sharp claws raised, all day long.
They all grinned at people, which gave them a headache.
"How can you be so relieved?" The old lady deliberately wanted to embarrass Aunt Liu, and naturally she would not let her fool her. She glanced at the other party and ordered: "Go and call the two of them to have a look, lest they go to the Jinluan Palace again.
Talking too much causes trouble."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Liu felt a chill go down her spine, and she knelt on the ground without moving for a long time.
Although Chu Yan disapproved of the old lady embarrassing her in public, he felt that it was very reasonable when he heard the old lady talk about the trial at the Jinluan Palace. He usually doted on his two daughters as much as he wanted, but when they arrived at the Jinluan Palace, they did whatever they wanted.
One word may bring disaster to the Chu family, and this matter cannot be taken carelessly.
Thinking like this, he quickly said: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and bring Qian'er and Ying'er out for everyone to see?!"
He even spoke, and Aunt Liu had to stand up, walk out of the room slowly, and call her two daughters.
Seeing her hesitation, the old lady knew something in her mind and said angrily: "It's been so long, but I can't believe that those two girls still haven't made much progress. I really don't know how she taught them?!"
Hearing her complaint, Chu Yan scratched his head and looked around at everyone. Everyone looked to the sky in tacit agreement. No one stepped forward to help him out. He could only bite the bullet and said: "Qian'er and Ying'er are still young, Chu Yan
The house is so messy, maybe it’s because of this that it has delayed their education.”
"Are you still young?" the old lady said angrily: "The girls who are going to get married in a few years still don't know how high the sky is and how high the sky is. Not to mention the always sensible Chung Equinox and Xiao Man. Even if they are compared with other girls,
You don’t have any strengths at all, so how can you rest assured?”
"That's what mother said." Taking advantage of Aunt Liu's absence, Cao Yingchun added insult to injury, "It's okay for Qian Yatou, but Ying Yatou is really as stubborn as a donkey. I bumped into her several times on the road before, and her eyes looked like
He hates the Chu family so much and looks at everyone with a sinister look. If a child like this goes to the Jinluan Palace, I'm afraid it will harm every one of us."
"Third sister-in-law!" Chu Yan rolled his eyes at her angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"
