Wandering in a corridor, Tang Yuxiang looked at the door of the small courtyard, her heart beating like a drum, and she was worried.
Before she came out of the hall, she had made up her mind bravely. After all, it would be a knife to extend her head, and it would be a knife to shrink her head, so she might as well grit her teeth and risk it all to see if Mrs. Lin would punish her, but when she really came to the small
Behind the entrance of the courtyard, he looked at the road that was only a few meters away under his feet and hesitated.
His head drooped down in a very spineless manner.
Facts have proved that she is afraid of death and does not want to die like this. She is still young and has a lot of good time to enjoy. Of course, there is no shame in being afraid of death, because no one is not afraid of death.
Ever since she married into the Lin family, she has clearly seen Mrs. Lin's iron-blooded methods. If she really wanted to kill her, there would be no need for any reason, just one word would make her die without her body intact.
"Second Grandma, why don't I go and fetch the Second Master? Since the Second Master is by your side, I think the old lady won't do anything to you." The longer they waited, the more panicked they became. Zhidong was anxious.
Come on, come up with such a good idea.
After hearing this, Zhiqiu nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, obviously agreeing with this idea.
It's not that Tang Yuxiang didn't think of this method, but she thought that Lin Jingzhi could protect her for a while, but he couldn't protect her for the rest of her life. If this incident really angered Mrs. Lin, she would only live a few more days.
That's all.
"Zhidong, Zhiqiu, are you two afraid?" Taking a deep breath, Tang Yuxiang tried her best to calm herself down and asked.
Afraid!
The two of them yelled in their hearts at the same time, but did not say it out loud. They forced themselves to shake their heads.
Seeing the two maids' faces turned pale with fright, with tears about to fall down, but still trying to stay calm, Tang Yuxiang's face was complicated, and she felt a bit sorry in her heart. After all, these two little girls ended up in this situation because they followed her, "Then
Okay, since you're not afraid, let's go in and have a look."
Having said that, Tang Yuxiang mustered up her courage and walked step by step towards Mrs. Lin's courtyard.
The two little girls followed, frightened and frightened, but they were still extremely loyal to this second mistress.
It took Tang Yuxiang a long time to finally step into the small courtyard. The courtyard was very large and seemed to have more than a dozen rooms. However, when she saw the door of the middle hall, her feet slowed down unconsciously, and then she
He walked slower and slower, as if he were stepping on ants. His small hands were hidden in his sleeves and clasped together tightly. His beautifully decorated nails almost sank into his flesh.
The small courtyard was very quiet, without any sound, making the atmosphere very dull. However, no matter how slowly you walked, you would eventually arrive. Unknowingly, a layer of sweat was oozing out on Tang Yuxiang's forehead.
, and for some reason, there was no communication girl standing outside the door today, so Tang Yuxiang could only take a deep breath and said to herself: "Old lady, my granddaughter-in-law has something to ask for."
"cough"
As Tang Yuxiang finished speaking, a light cough came from the room. From the sound, it was obviously Mrs. Lin's.
Tang Yuxiang knelt on the steps as her knees went weak. Zhidong and Zhiqiu did the same. After kneeling on the ground, they were trembling all over.
Mrs. Lin is in the Lin Mansion, the Prince of Hell who is in charge of their life and death. How can they not be afraid of this!
There were three women in the house.
Mrs. Lin was wearing a dark purple brocade dress, sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in her hand, drinking warm tea leisurely, listening to a report from a middle-aged woman with a little black ash on her face.
Liu Xiang stood behind him without saying a word. When the tea water became shallow, he would step forward to fill it up.
"Are you saying that after Manager Li entered the hall, Yu Xiang had someone slap his mouth just because he didn't kneel down?"
The middle-aged woman recalled the situation at that time and then said: "It was not the order given by Second Grandma, but a little girl standing behind Second Grandma. Her name is Zhiqiu."
"Hmph, it seems that this little girl named Zhiqiu is quite a bitch!"
"Yes, old lady, you didn't see that when this little girl saw that Manager Li was not adamant, she rushed up and slapped her ears a few times, and the blows were very clean." The middle-aged woman secretly raised her head and flew
After taking a look at Mrs. Lin, she saw that his face was a little gloomy, so he agreed.
"What's next?" Mrs. Lin kept tapping the tea cup with the lid.
"Back to the old lady, Manager Li was not convinced and wanted to hit the girl, but he never caught up with her. Second Mistress was afraid that Zhiqiu would suffer, so she asked Zhiqiu to hide behind her, and then Manager Li..." At this point,
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Although she is Old Mrs. Lin's secret spy in the house, she has never been able to see through Old Mrs. Lin's character, so she doesn't know who Old Mrs. Lin prefers in her heart. It's hard to say what happens next.
"Um"
Old Mrs. Lin snorted in dissatisfaction, and the middle-aged woman trembled with fright, and quickly continued: "Then Manager Li rushed to the second wife, pretending to kick her, but she didn't know that he was going to kick her.
, I was still trying to kick Zhiqiu through the second grandma, but I was knocked to the ground by another maid, Zhidong, the second mistress."
"Zhidong? I have some impressions of this girl. She is gentle and quiet, but she is a soft person on the outside but strong on the inside!" Mrs. Lin interjected lightly.
The middle-aged woman nodded quickly and praised: "Yes, the servants in the hall were frightened at that time. This girl was so courageous that she threw Manager Li to the ground with one shoulder for fear of hurting her master."
"Later, the slaves realized what they were doing, and they all rushed forward and pushed Manager Li to the ground. However, Manager Li was a man and very strong, so the slaves couldn't hold him down. At this moment, Aunt Wan and
Aunt Jade is here."
Having said this, the middle-aged woman recalled how ruthless Aunt Yu was when she took action, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Have these two aunts been secretly bullied by Manager Li before?" Old Mrs. Lin's voice was calm, mixed with a hint of coldness.
In fact, if Manager Li hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't be able to protect him, but a slave is a slave, and she must never forget her duty at any time!
Otherwise, you are committing suicide.
"I heard that Aunt Wan said that Manager Li had moved all the furniture out of her house, but Aunt Yu didn't say anything. However, she should have an old grudge with Manager Li, otherwise she wouldn't have picked up the chair as soon as she entered the hall.
Give it to Manager Li. Old lady, you didn’t see such a big chair, Aunt Yu.
My mother only used one hand to start swinging it. In the end, in order to save the second mistress, Aunt Yu actually kicked Mr. Li into the air and even vomited blood." The middle-aged woman said
At the end of the sentence, Zi started gesticulating with his hands, apparently because he was a little excited when he saw that scene for the first time.
"Oh?" Mrs. Lin's face changed color for the first time. She has lived for such a long time, so she can naturally tell that Aunt Yu must be a practicing practitioner, but she didn't know about this before.
The development of this kind of thing, the feeling of being out of control, made her very uncomfortable.
"What's next?"
"Then Steward Li's head was smashed and his head was bleeding, so he became honest. Later, the servant asked Second Mistress if she wanted to bandage Steward Li's wound, but Second Mistress refused, saying that she was afraid that Steward Li would be injured again and would have to do it again.
Beat her, by the way, the second mistress didn’t know the two aunts at that time, so after introducing each other, the second mistress didn’t even say a word of thanks, she just sat down and asked the two aunts to kowtow and serve tea.”
Since the first time she met Tang Yuxiang, Mrs. Lin liked her more. She felt that this girl's personality and temperament were very in line with the requirements of being a real wife and mother. When the middle-aged woman said this, she felt satisfied in her heart.
The first wife is the first wife, and she has to put on a show of dignity in front of the concubine, otherwise she will bully her or she will not be able to manage the backyard well.
The water in the backyard of this wealthy mansion is quite deep. If the master does not have some prestige, it will definitely not work. The case of Manager Li is actually the best example.
"How did the two aunts react?"
"Back to the old lady, Aunt Wan didn't say anything and served tea to Second Grandma directly, but Aunt Yu seemed to be unwilling. However, in the end, Second Grandma respectfully followed all the etiquette."
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Since she knew the rules, she would not be harmful to her direct grandson. Of course, the origin of Aunt Jade must be investigated carefully.
Aunt Yu was the last aunt to enter the house. At that time, Lin Jingzhi was already seriously ill and her body was too thin. Therefore, when choosing an aunt, the requirements were much lower, so that even Aunt Yu's specific life experience was not traced clearly.
Several people in the house were talking one after another, but Tang Yuxiang outside the house was miserable. The steps were all polished with hard stone slabs. After just kneeling for a short while, her knees felt painful and numb, as if they were being pricked by needles.
She was generally uncomfortable, but after she had just finished speaking, she clearly heard Old Mrs. Lin coughing softly. Now that there was no words, she neither dared to speak again to ask for permission, nor did she dare to stand up.
"Old lady, who are you looking at?" Liuxiang waited for Old lady Lin to finish asking, then took a very measured step forward. This step happened to be half a body behind Old lady Lin, making it easier to speak.
, not wanting to bump into the old lady, and then raised his chin to the outside of the door, indicating that there was still a person kneeling there.
No matter how wrong Butler Li was, he was still Old Mrs. Lin’s confidant. Now that he was beaten to death, she would naturally be somewhat unhappy. However, Old Mrs. Lin was not as deep as Mr. Li thought. She did not believe that Tang Yuxiang was a little girl.
The film can shake her position.
Guessing that Tang Yuxiang had been kneeling for a long time, Mrs. Lin first waved her hand to the middle-aged woman and motioned for her to go into the inner room and hide for a while, then nodded lightly.
Not only did Tang Yuxiang's knees hurt when she knelt outside, but she also felt panicked in her heart. She was afraid that Mrs. Lin would offend her. Otherwise, why didn't she open the door even though she knew she was here to ask for a visit? Just as she was thinking wildly, and she didn't know how long she had been kneeling, she heard the door open.
There was a "squeak" sound, and then a girl's surprised voice came to my ears,
"Oh, my Second Grandma, why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly, or the old lady will see you, and you will have to skin the slaves!" dd
