Seeing that Lin Guan'er was about to cry, Mrs. Sun even though she was very disgusted, she still stretched out her hand and pulled her out of the yard. She waited until Chengchun was out of sight before Mrs. Sun said with a face full of hatred.
: "You clearly know your cousin's temper, but you still have to provoke her. If your mother-in-law helps you in front of the servants, how can she make it clear to Lao Wu? Mother-in-law is in charge of the whole family.
The most shameful thing is partiality. If you are partial to you in front of everyone, who will listen to your mother-in-law’s discipline in the future!"
Lin Guan'er looked at Mrs. Sun with aggrieved expression: "But, but..."
"What's the matter? I've warned you time and time again not to go into his yard. If you have to go, that's all. You still have to provoke her most beloved concubine. My mother-in-law will give it to you later.
The two sermons are probably worth fifty cents each, so just accept it obediently and stop making trouble. Otherwise, Lao Wu’s stubborn temper may lead to trouble directly in front of your father.
No one can protect you at this time!" Mrs. Sun said, poking Lin Guan'er's forehead in annoyance.
Lin Guan'er is lawless, but the one she fears the most is her father. In this situation, Mrs. Sun can only control her by moving out her father. Sure enough, after she said these words, Lin Guan'er disappeared in an instant.
arrogance.
"Okay, okay, hurry back and change your clothes!" Mrs. Sun said, pulling Lin Guan'er away.
Cheng Chun watched Mrs. Sun pulling Lin Guan'er away and back to her house. Hongdou was looking for a change of clothes for her. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at her beaten, red and swollen face, wanting to cry but without tears.
.
Not long after, Hongdou came over. She looked at Chengchun's face in the mirror and instantly became a little nervous: "Madam..."
"I have never been beaten like this since I was a child!" Chengchun looked at himself in the mirror and suddenly became very aggrieved.
Hongdou felt extremely distressed and held Chengchun tightly in her arms: "Madam, it's all my fault. I'm useless and can't protect you!"
Tears flowed down the corners of Chengchun's eyes, and she felt extremely uncomfortable: "Although my family is poor, my father is loving and my mother loves me. Although I am a picked-up child, they hold it in their hands and dote on me in every possible way. How did I end up here?"
Have you swallowed the lowly vixen in everyone's mouth? I didn't come here willingly, what did I do wrong? Just because I opened the door on that rainy night, do I have to let others bully me?"
"Madam..."
Listening to Cheng Chun's accusation, Hong Dou felt as if a piece of her heart was empty. She accompanied Chen Chun from Jiangnan to the capital, and before she even finished the summer, she was already watching her suffer all kinds of grievances.
.
They knew very well that Mrs. Su would not punish Lin Guan'er. No matter how extreme she did, she would only scold her.
But it is this clear understanding that makes Chengchun particularly aggrieved. Although she works in other people's shops, she has never been aggrieved because she is hardworking and smart. He can earn money and support himself. Although
Not rich, but living comfortably every day.
On the contrary, here, at the foot of the so-called emperor, the most prosperous place in the entire country, she has become the most despicable person. Anyone can insult her at will. She tried to straighten her spine, but was forcibly broken again and again.
.
"Madam, let's go back to Jiangnan, I'll go back with you!" Hongdou raised her hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with anticipation.
Cheng Chun took a deep breath, held back his tears, and forced a smile: "Okay!"
After changing their clothes, Cheng Chun and Lin Guan'er arrived at Mrs. Su's yard. They did not see Mrs. Su, but only saw Aunt Kong beside her.
When the two people knelt together, at first glance, they both seemed to be giving in. Both of their faces were swollen, and they didn't stop trying to win or lose when they wanted to fight.
Aunt Kong looked at Cheng Chun with a bit of disappointment: "We originally thought that the young lady was a smart person!"
Chengchun lowered his head and said nothing.
"Madam said that Cheng Xiaoniang didn't understand etiquette, so she beat the cousin who was a guest in the house and made her kneel for two hours!" Aunt Kong looked at Cheng Chun and said coldly, "As for the cousin, she caused trouble for nothing and ruined the house.
According to the rules, I am punished by memorizing scriptures, and my wife will do a random inspection tomorrow!"
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Mrs. Su is showing partiality. Even Madam Sun, who was standing aside, couldn't help but frown: "I'm going to see Madam..."
"Mrs. Crown Prince!" Mother Kong turned sideways and blocked Mrs. Sun's way. "This is Madam's decision. Now Madam is still in charge of this family. It's not yet to the point where Madam Crown Prince can make decisions!"
Mrs. Sun's face became ugly, but she couldn't refute. She could only hold back her breath, said "good", and then walked away.
Cheng Chun looked at Aunt Kong in front of him. He never knelt down, but looked at her coldly.
Seeing that Cheng Chun's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, Grandma Kong said coldly: "Originally, I thought you were a sensible person who understood your identity, someone who knew how to survive in a big house, and someone who knew how to accept hardships, but you didn't.
Come to think of it, this person has a heartless heart and has received favors over the winter, which will inevitably cause you to misunderstand. Cheng Xiaoniang, you have to understand the truth. In this mansion, you are even lower than the servants!"
Chengchun didn't say a word, but looked coldly at Aunt Kong in front of her.
"You don't have to resent me. I'm just teaching you how to survive in this place. To put it nicely, you are the fifth master's concubine. To put it harshly, you are just a bed-warming tool.
If you want to live stably in this place, you have to be sensible, and you have to understand your status clearly!" Grandma Kong's eyes suddenly changed, even a bit sinister, "Kneel down, for two hours!"
Chengchun looked at the soft pebbles under his feet and knelt down without any hesitation. Hongdou beside him ran out with red eyes.
Grandma Kong looked at the sky: "Look at the sky, I'm afraid there will be a heavy rain in a while, and I won't be here to accompany you!"
Chengchun still didn't speak.
Mother Kong saluted Lin Guan'er, turned around and left.
Lin Guan'er, who had gained the victory, raised her head proudly like a victorious rooster. She walked up to Cheng Chun and kicked Cheng Chun on the chest.
Chengchun was kicked down. When she was thinking about it, Lin Guaner stepped on her palm. She endured the pain and heard her say: "Despicable people will always be despicable. This is just a small lesson. There will be another time."
