Chapter 28: No eyes, no respect for elders

When Qixi discovered Qiao Yuyan, it was already too late. She immediately sent Yuan Bao away and hurriedly came up to him and said, "Girl, don't take it to heart. They are just a bunch of women with no knowledge."

She was present at the time. When she saw Qiao Yuyan's tears because of this incident, she comforted her and said: "Madam came at the right time and didn't hear what was said at that time. But isn't it because she is so angry that she cares about her in her heart?"

?I haven’t gone to the Furong Pavilion today! Why don’t I accompany the girl there now?”

Seeing that Qiao Yuyan's face was getting more and more ugly, Qixi persuaded her again, "My wife is very heavy now. I heard that pregnant women are the most easily agitated. Maybe this is the reason why it happened..."

"Okay," Qiao Yuyan waved her hand and said, "I don't feel very well today and don't want to go out. If anything happens, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, she entered the house again. Grandma Wang looked at the swaying bead curtain, waved her hand to Qixi, and after the two walked away, she lowered her voice and said, "I know you are worried about the quarrel between the girl and the wife again."

, but after all, this matter is a little too much. The girl feels uncomfortable, so let her take a rest for two days!"

Unlike Qixi, she saw that Qiao Yuyan had an elder's perspective, and felt a little bit distressed. She was not willing to ask Qiao Yuyan to endure the grievances and act like a good boy.

Qiao Yuyan didn't know what the people below were thinking, so she still went back to copy scriptures.

I just didn't expect that on the second day, things about the eldest girl in the house would get even louder.

First of all, Qiao Yuning did not avoid anyone when she knelt down, and all the servants and wives in the house saw it.

In addition, the reputation of the big girl in the past was just that, and she could only be talked about secretly after dinner. Now, a new topic has been added.

Not only did he bully the second girl, he even dared to contradict his wife.

Qiao Yuyan didn't pay attention to these rumors. She still went to Ninghe Hall early in the morning to pay her respects, but she didn't pass by Furong Hall, which made the rumors spread even more fiercely.

Everyone felt that Qiao Yuyan, a big girl, was really domineering, even if she couldn't get along with other people, she didn't even take her own mother seriously.

It was also said that Qiao Yuyan was in the limelight that time when she dealt with Lin Xiaosheng's family affairs and won the praise of her uncle. Now she doesn't care about everyone anymore.

When she was delivering snacks to the old lady in the afternoon, Qiao Yuyan noticed that her grandmother looked at her with a somewhat probing look.

"Grandma, don't you like this lotus paste cake? Grandma Wang is very good at making this. Why don't you try it together first?"

Looking at her smiling face, the old lady frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

What was going on outside, even she had heard about it, but Qiao Yuyan, who had always suffered a lot, was unmoved?

Moreover, she also heard about what happened that day and yesterday afterwards. Speaking of it, it was actually Yu Ning who was impatient.

After suffering such a great grievance, you could remain silent like this?

Qiao Yuyan met her inquiring eyes and smiled and said: "What's the point of arguing about trivial matters? It's just between sisters. What's more, my mother is pregnant now. Isn't it possible to compete with her in the ring?"

"Who cares about you!" The old lady curled her lips and waved her hand away, "Okay, okay, don't hang around in front of me, I'll make you upset, go back!"

"Yes, then I'll come back tomorrow."

After she left, Aunt Zhao on the side smiled and said: "The old lady also cares about the older girl now."

"I care about her? Isn't it enough that the old woman from the Xu family cares about her? With so many people packed in for her, those who care about her will probably be queued outside the house. Is it the turn of a disgusting old woman like me?

"

Hearing what the master said, Aunt Zhao smiled and was speechless. Just as she was about to put away the plate of lotus seed paste, she heard the old lady frown and say: "It's not fun to ask you to eat the snacks for so many days."

?”

"Oh, look at me, I deserve a beating! I actually forgot that the old lady loves this lotus paste cake the most. When the eldest lady brought this, it looks soft and delicious. It must be better than the ones bought outside!"

After hearing what she said, the old lady became speechless.

Qiao Yuyan didn't know that her grandmother in Ninghe Hall had already begun to accept her snacks. She just stepped into Qingxitai and saw Grandma Liu already waiting there.

"Why are you here, grandma? Is mother okay today? She vomited when she went home yesterday? Is she feeling better today?"

Seeing her expression as usual, and remembering that she had sent someone to the Furong Pavilion to inquire last night, Aunt Liu felt soft in her heart.

"After all, she is my wife's own girl, so considerate," Mother Liu replied with a smile, "I felt a little uncomfortable this morning! I didn't wake up until now, so why don't you send me to give the girl some clothes?"

Qiao Yuyan looked along her hand and saw the tray in the hand of the maid behind her.

Did Mrs. Xu send someone over? Qiao Yuyan also understood a thing or two about Mrs. Xu's temperament, which was aloof and paranoid. It was impossible for her to apologize. Asking someone to send something over was the greatest sincerity.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuyan smiled, and heard Nanny Liu lower her voice and said: "The girl and the wife are biological mother and daughter. It's better not to have any bad feelings because of what happened yesterday. The second girl also explained the matter to the wife last night.

Yes, my wife also knows that I wrongly blamed the girl, but she has a bad temper, so she asked me to come and talk to the girl."

As expected, Qiao Yuyan smiled and said, "Mom, I think too much. What's the point? I don't worry about it!"

Hearing what she said, Aunt Liu became even more happy. She took Qiao Yuyan's hand and looked at the summer clothes on the tray in the maid's hand. "These are all made of materials selected according to the girl's favorite colors. They were specially ordered from Ruyifang."

The embroidery ladies made it, girl, come and take a look."

"However, slave, I have one more thing to tell the girl."

Qiao Yuyan looked at her expression and understood, so she smiled and said, "The sun is so hot, let's go sit under there."

Then he asked the little maid to fetch the cold melons that had been watered in the well, "Mammy, sit down."

The maids here were holding things and didn't dare to move them without being told to put them down. They could only watch the two people over there talking happily.

It just seemed like they had something to say, both of them kept their voices low, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Suddenly, he saw the eldest girl's expression change, and a cup of tea was poured on Grandma Liu. The tea bowl fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Two little maids standing under the eaves of the corridor came immediately and hurriedly cleaned up. Qiao Yuyan was still stunned on the spot.

It took a while before she realized what she was doing. Aunt Liu quickly waved her hands and said that she was fine. She just didn't look good because her clothes were wet, so she hurried back with the maids.

Unexpectedly, because of this incident, the rumors in the house had new content.

It was passed down that she was dissatisfied with her biological mother for judging her concubine, so she actually beat her mother's wet nurse.

Therefore, the eldest daughter of Uncle Zhongyong's house, in addition to her arrogant temperament and lack of self-awareness, added another one: looking at no one and disrespecting her elders.
