The old lady was actually quite calm. After hearing this, she quickly said: "This kind of earthquake doesn't happen just once. It won't happen again later. Don't move around now. Let's go to the garden. It's safer to stay outside."
.”
When the old lady said this, Aunt Zhao came over and said: "In the morning, the eldest lady told everyone to gather in the garden, saying she wanted to ask about what happened last night. Most of the people are there now!
I think no one in our house was hurt."
Qiao Yuyan usually doesn't handle the people in the old lady's house easily, so there are still a lot of people. Most of the maids and women in other places have indeed obeyed the assignment and are not in the house. Indeed, as Aunt Zhao said, there should be no
Big problem.
When everyone arrived in the garden, sure enough, a large group of maids, women, servants, and boys gathered together and chattered about the earthquake just now.
Seeing them coming, the clever woman hurriedly chased people to drive out the male servant outside.
The old lady quickly frowned and said, "How long has it been since you still care about those vain things? What if it happens again and someone loses his life?"
The women immediately became a little embarrassed and hurriedly lowered their hands and shrank back. The male servants present were very grateful to the old lady.
Qiao Yuyan quickly found a clean place and asked the old ladies Xu and Yao to sit down first.
"This is a very strange question for the second sister," Qiao Yuyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, "I asked all the servants to come here to wait for questioning, Aunt Pei...how can I be called so good?
"
"You don't care about my aunt's life or death!" Qiao Yuning's eyebrows were raised, her almond-shaped eyes full of resentment and eagerness.
"That's even more unreasonable. How did I know there would be an earthquake today?" She said with a sneer, "If my second sister is worried, why not go back and take a look yourself!"
Her slow look completely angered Qiao Yuning.
"Send someone to me quickly!" She was so anxious at the moment that she didn't care about her usual image, and pointed at her nose angrily and shouted.
After shouting out this sentence, she herself was stunned, and then she realized that everyone was looking at her in horror.
Qiao Youan, who was nestling next to Yao, hurriedly hid behind Yao, "Second sister, you are so fierce! Like a big tiger."
He is only six years old this year. He has a tiger-like appearance and a childlike voice, but he has an innocence that does not understand the world.
Qiao Yuning's face immediately turned ugly. She felt like everyone was secretly laughing at her, and her whole body was shaking with anger.
"Brother An, don't talk nonsense," Qiao Yurong scolded her younger brother and walked next to Qiao Yuning, "Second sister is also worried about her biological mother. This is a sign of filial piety."
Qiao Yuning glanced at her gratefully, and then said with tears: "Everyone has come here to escape, even the wife and the servants below have come over. My aunt is alone in Qiyun Pavilion, how can I not be worried?
?”
Seeing that she was sad, Mrs. Xu quickly came over to comfort her, but the old lady turned cold and said, "Your aunt is such a big living person, doesn't she know how to use her brain? This has been stopped for so long, if she wants to come, she should crawl here
Come on!"
Qiao Yuning opened her mouth, but could not refute for a while.
"Your eldest sister is responsible for the affairs of this big family. She originally placed these people here for your mother's safety, which happened to escape the earthquake. You are claiming that she doesn't care about your aunt's life and death. Then as your biological daughter,
Why didn't you tell your aunt to hide here in advance?"
Although the old lady is not very close to her children and grandchildren, her temper is not bad, and her grandchildren rarely hear her scolding her.
It was before her rebirth that the ignorant Qiao Yuyan could get some harsh words from her, and it was all for the sake of the Qiao family's face.
An old lady like Qiao Yuning and Qiao Yurong has always been neither cold nor indifferent, let alone being embarrassed like this in front of so many maids and servants.
Qiao Yuning's face turned pale, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she couldn't help crying.
Xu's heart softened, and she quickly pulled her to her side, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Sister Ning is still a child after all, isn't this scary? It is reasonable for a child to worry about his own mother.
.”
After that, Qiao Yuyan said: "Sister Yan, please don't annoy your sister. She is just too impatient. Otherwise, with her temper, why would she yell at you?"
The old lady looked at her two granddaughters and said nothing.
Qiao Yuyan smiled and took a handkerchief from Qixi's hand, stepped forward and wiped Qiao Yuning's tears carefully, "We are sisters, there is nothing to argue about."
He turned around and said loudly: "Send someone to Qiyun Pavilion to take a look. I'm afraid Aunt Pei was frightened and didn't think of leaving the house first!"
At this time, everyone in the family was here, and they noticed the behavior of the eldest and second girls in the family.
Although the eldest girl has made many ridiculous rumors in the past, they are just rumors. In the past, at home, at most she was a bit unobtrusive and spoke sharply.
Let's look at her housekeeper's past month. There is nothing that can be found to be faulty. She neither rushes in with a few tricks to make everyone live in peace, nor does she insert too many cronies to alienate people's hearts.
It was strict where it should be strict and loose where it should be. A few of the annoying moths in the house were cleaned up.
During these days, they occasionally talked privately, and they also felt that it was good for the eldest daughter to be in charge now.
On the other hand, the second girl, who usually does everything well, is quiet and elegant, did not expect to be so unreasonable, and dared to point her nose at the eldest sister to assign things in front of her elders.
After being reprimanded, he would just hide behind his wife and cry, as if she had been wronged a lot.
So some people secretly curled their lips, as expected, a concubine was a concubine, and she was raised in front of her aunt, so she couldn't be on the stage.
Looking at everyone's faces, Qiao Yuyan knew that Qiao Yuning had lost face this time.
After a while, Aunt Pei was brought over by Shi Ye. She looked good and couldn't see where she was. The back of her hand was scratched by something unknown, and there was a cut, and blood was oozing out.
The mother and daughter immediately hugged each other. Qiao Yuning looked at her mother's wounds and quickly cleaned her with a handkerchief, not forgetting to gouge out Qiao Yuyan's eyes.
Qiao Yuyan didn't have time to pay attention to her. She couldn't keep the old lady and Mrs. Xu sitting here, so she took advantage of the lack of movement and asked someone to bring some snacks and fruits, and fetched water to wash herself with some elders.
There were a few women who wanted to prepare lunch in the kitchen, but before they could take two steps, they started to move again. Although they only felt a faint shock, Qiao Yuyan didn't let them go. It was really not safe to put the pots and pans in the kitchen.
Qiao Yuyan even asked someone to bring in a few deck chairs for the three elders to rest. They couldn't sleep, so they were more comfortable.
By the time it was mid-afternoon, I guessed that nothing would happen, but the boy who went to the door to inquire quickly ran over and said, "The master and the second master are back!"
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she stood up quickly, held Qiao Yuyan's hand and went to greet him. This chapter has been completed!
