Chapter 077: Dark Arrow

"Grandma..." Chu Jiaqi didn't expect that her grandmother would be punished so heavily. How long did she release it? Isn't it just an invitation? As for the punishment of her kneeling on the Buddhist temple for ten days, can her legs still be used after she comes out?

She looked at Chu Xinyu blankly and found that she was looking at her, and then her eyes turned, and that direction was Chu Jiating. By the way, if the sixth sister hadn't told her that Chu Xinyu wouldn't come back, how could she have thought about that?

Now that I have been punished, the sixth sister is sitting there watching the show. The same was true last time. She is not the only one who is matching those noble girls to make things difficult for Chu Xinyu. The sixth sister is also involved, but the grandmother wants to punish herself?

Because she was unwilling to accept her, she did not think about the consequences and blurted out: "It's the sixth sister, she told me that the fifth sister would not come back today and would not go to the banquet tomorrow..."

When Chu Jiating heard this, a hint of panic flashed through the bottom and said, "Sister Four, you are slandering!"

Chu Jiaqi was angry and anxious. Seeing that Chu Jiating refused to admit it, he said angrily: "The only one of my two days of confinement, you have come to see me. You told me that you don't have to be too serious about copying female ethics. Then he hinted in his words that the fifth sister would not come back to attend the banquet. No wonder after you left, there would be a stack of copied female ethics on my desk for no reason. It turned out that all of this was designed by you."

"I have no hint." Chu Jiating quickly calmed down and said, "It was you who were jealous of the fifth sister being able to attend the banquet but you couldn't go, so you misunderstood what I meant. When you saw that you couldn't get the invitation, you took advantage of your grandmother's usual love for you and turned around and wanted to get the invitation with your grandmother's hand to attend the banquet instead of the fifth sister."

Chu Jiaqi was exposed by her thoughts, and was angry and was about to retort. Aunt Wang next to her held her hand, pulled it hard, signaling her to bend down, and leaned into her ear and said, "Don't you give up? If you make such a fuss, you will suffer any loss if you say anything! Or do you want your grandmother to send you to the ancestral temple?"

Of course I don’t want to go to the ancestral temple.

Chu Jiaqi had no choice but to watch Xiangcheng being dragged out by two mothers, and clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves...

Yuan didn't know what Chu Xinyu wanted to make any other idea, but she felt that she would not end so easily. She looked up at her and found that Chu Xinyu was also staring at her. Her smile clearly made her feel panicked for no reason.

Could she tell the story of her design last night? If Mrs. Chu knew her plan, she would be angry even if she had protected her more than she had in the past. She could not let Chu Xinyu's affairs separate her from Mrs. Chu.

So she stood up and said, "Mother, the fifth sister is right. It is because the wife is incompetent in discipline, so she let the fourth sister learn wrongly. Please punish her mother."

Yuan's actions shocked both the old lady Chu and the second and third wife. She is the legitimate mother and the fourth sister's poor education is indeed half of the responsibility lies in her. Now she is willing to admit that she is incompetent in teaching, so there is no need to pursue the matter anymore, and the punishment will be given lighter.

I have to say that Yuan is a smart person who knows how to make choices. Of course, without cunning, how could he get from an orphan girl to be the mistress of the house of the Marquis’ Mansion?

When Chu Jiating saw her mother come out to apologize, she guessed her intention to do this after thinking about it. She stepped forward and held the hand of the old lady Chu and said, "Grandmother, it's not easy for her mother. She usually has to manage such a large marquis' mansion and then clone her to teach us brothers and sisters, so that there will be no negligence. You can forgive her."

It was indeed a good daughter taught by Yuan. The mother and daughter sang and cooperated very well. Chu Xinyu heard this and sneered at the corner of her mouth. Her clear eyes were like the stars in the night sky, dazzling and dazzling. She smiled and said, "It's the fault of a woman who doesn't teach her. Although the mother needs to take half of the responsibility, she can't kill a boat with a bamboo pole. The mother also has successful works. Seeing the sixth sister and the eighth sister are well-educated and well-educated, the sixth brother is diligent and progressive, it can be seen that the mother is well-educated."

Chu Xinyu bit the word "teaching" particularly clearly, and the smile on Chu Jiating's face stiffened for a moment.

Yuan was also trembling with anger by her. She said nothing but said that she favored the education of one and the other. What was hateful was that she also used a sympathetic and understanding attitude.

Chu Xinyu said it until the time was finished. As for how to clean up the mess next, she was not responsible for it. She went back to rest on the grounds that she had to attend a banquet tomorrow and was in good condition.

Old Mrs. Chu felt guilty towards her and wanted to keep her for dinner and comfort her well, but seeing that she was indeed tired, she remembered her running around these two days, so she asked her to go back first.

After stepping out of the main room, Danqing was waiting in the corridor. When she saw her coming out, she walked forward, "Girl..." She was about to say something, but was stopped by Chu Xinyu's eyes.

As soon as the two walked out of Anshantang, they heard someone calling her behind them.

"Five Sister."

It's Chu Jiating.

Chu Xinyu swept sharply to the corner of a light green clothes behind the pillar in front of the corridor. She suddenly stopped and turned to look at her, "Is there anything wrong?"

Chu Jiating twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and stepped forward and said, "Why did you say that just now? Mother has always been very nice to you. She satisfies you whatever you want in the past, and she can't bear to scold you for a moment. How can you repay your grudges and say your mother..."

"Stop!" Chu Xinyu raised his hand to stop her from continuing, looking at her with some amusement, "Sixth sister, you and I know it well. If my mother was really good to me, she wouldn't have designed me to be trapped last night? If I hadn't met a kind person at noon, I think I'm really like what you said to my fourth sister. I can't come back today and I can't attend the banquet tomorrow."

After saying that, she walked towards Anshantang.

After only two steps, Chu Jiating grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"

Chu Xinyu turned around, sneered, and shook Chu Jiating's hand away, "Didn't you see where I went? I want to find my grandmother and ask her to judge. I can't afford to avenge the guilt of kindness!"

After saying that, she quickly walked towards Anshantang. Chu Jiating rushed to chase her and blocked her way, saying, "Don't be angry, I was anxious and said the wrong thing just now. How could you be the one who repays kindness with grudges and revenge?"

In a pleasing tone, there was no way she had just started to seek guilt. It turned out that she was afraid that she would go to Mrs. Chu to complain.

I guess I returned to the mansion without warning. I just explained the seriousness of her not attending the banquet in front of my grandmother, which made her feel uneasy. Although they were protected by Mrs. Chu, the problems related to the girls in the mansion's future social interactions will not give up.

Chu Xinyu then sneered and said, "You said you were wrong, but the maid around my mother almost caused my reputation to be damaged. The sixth sister told the fourth sister that I would not come back today, and I didn't care about this. I just said something fair to my mother, but said that I would repay my kindness and revenge, which was really hurting my heart."

"I..." Chu Jiating didn't expect her to say this, a little at a loss.

"I can forgive you once in our past sisterly relationship, but I won't be the case." After saying that, Chu Xinyu snorted coldly, turned around and left.

When he walked a little far away and there was no one around, Danqing said to Chu Xinyu in a low voice: "Girl, Sister Yuqin is here to ask me. I have told me everything you taught me, but I don't understand. Since I want me to tell Sister Yuqin, why did you tell Miss Six to not pursue these things? Are you really planning to let it go?"

never mind?

Chu Xinyu turned around and looked at the figure standing behind the corridor column, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. How could it be?

After Chu Xinyu left, Bingxue saw that there was no one around, so she began to criticize Chu Xinyu's all kinds of things, saying that she was arrogant and arrogant, and she really regarded herself as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but just a slutty girl, etc., completely forgot about the warning like Xiangcheng.

If it were like this in the past, Chu Jiating would definitely stop her, but she had just been thrown away by Chu Xinyu and was angry with the other party. Bingxue's scolding and insults made her feel comfortable. Finally, she agreed with a few words before leaving.

After they left, a light green figure walked out from behind the corridor. She was Yuyan, the maid of Anshantang, and also the confidant of Madam Sun. She was honest and honest. She would report all the duties of all things in the mansion as long as she knew about it and would never ask for personal information.

Anshantang has four maids, Yuqin, Yuyan, Mingdong and Mingxia. They were trained by Madam Sun, especially Yuyan, who is smart and obedient. Madam Sun likes her very much.

Because the second girl was injured by a bug crawling over her face, Yu Yan went to Langyuexuan for the past two days on behalf of the old lady Chu, and then reported the situation to the old lady Chu when she came back. So when the seventh girl brought ointment to the second girl, Yu Yan and Dr. Miao were both there.

The second girl's wound still felt itchy and uncomfortable after using Dr. Miao's medicine, but after applying flawless ointment, the itchy feeling disappeared immediately, and there was a cold feeling on the wound, which was very comfortable.

After seeing the ointment, Dr. Miao praised it as a good medicine. It was more precious than the pearl ointment that was tribute to the imperial palace every year in the Western Regions. When asked where the ointment came from and whether there was a formula? He had worked as an imperial physician in the palace. Later, he retired and opened a clinic in the east of the city. However, he had a lot of research on pharmacology. When he saw this bottle of flawless ointment, he knew that this was the best medicine for treating wounds.

Only then did Yuyan realize that the ointment was sent by Miss No. 5 and Miss No. 7. Seeing that Miss No. 2 had such a good effect after using it, she went back to Anshantang to report to Mrs. Chu that she happened to pass by the Punishment Hall, which was used to punish the servants who made mistakes.

She saw many servants surrounding her and heard someone being shaped like a stick. When she went up to ask, she found out that it was Xiang Cheng, the eldest maid of the fourth girl, who was stolen because of the following and insulting the fifth girl.

The fifth girl was originally the serious master of the Hou Mansion. No matter what kind of person she was, the first principle of doing things as a servant was to respect the master. Yu Yan did not sympathize with Xiangcheng.

So, when she heard the Sixth Girl and Bingxue scolded and insulted the Five Girls, she was shocked. The Sixth Girl always gave her the feeling of being well-educated and well-educated, as elegant as the orchid in the valley. But when she just stared at the back of the Five Girls, the disgust and disdain on her face were all seen by her.

When she returned to Anshantang, she saw the eldest lady and the second lady getting up and saying goodbye to leave. After everyone was exposed, there were only three masters and servants left in the room. She first reported the second girl's situation to the old lady Chu.

Old Mrs. Chu heard Yuyan say that the flawless ointment was better than the ointment prescribed by Dr. Miao, and even more precious than the pearl ointment tributed to the palace by the Western Regions, and she felt relieved and at ease.

She didn't expect that Wu Yatou was so fraternal and tired after returning from the temple. She didn't forget to care about her injured sister. Then she remembered Xiang Cheng's insults, and felt a sense of guilt in her heart.

After Yuyan finished reporting, Madam Sun reported to the old lady Chu one by one what Yuqin found from Danqing, and then said: "Xiangmei is the eldest lady's maid. She has undergone rigorous training since childhood. Doesn't she understand how important a girl's reputation is? When encountering such a thing, she not only mobilized people to find someone to rescue her, but also loudly questioned the girl's words in front of others. This is not obvious to everyone, has the fifth girl lost her morality?"

As the old lady Chu heard her face became more and more depressed. When she was interrogating her in the hall just now, she complained about the insinuated doubts about Yuan's education, believing that as a child, she should not question her legitimate mother in this way, and she went on to the custody. Fortunately, she did not pursue the matter in the end, otherwise she would not know how to deal with the matter in front of the second and third rooms. If this matter spread, it would make Wu Yat have a bad reputation as a stepmother.

But she didn't expect that Wu Yatou's concession still implicitly. If she hadn't seen Danqing's desire to speak but stopped and was curious to ask someone, she wouldn't have known that Wu Yatou had suffered such grievances. No wonder she would have said this in the hall.

Madam Sun said, "I heard that when they went down the mountain, the bearing of the carriage broke. If they had not met a kind-hearted person to carry them for a long time, I was afraid that I might not have been able to come back at night. This delay, as Grandma said, who would invite the girl from our Marquis' Mansion in the future at other banquets?"

Yuyan continued: "Just just now, outside the corridor in front of Anshan Hall, the fifth girl and the sixth girl started arguing. The servant didn't dare to come forward and quietly hid away. The sixth girl scolded the fifth girl and said that the eldest lady was so kind to her, but she repaid her grudges. The fifth girl was very angry, she said..."

So Yuyan repeated the conversation between Chu Xinyu and Chu Jiating at that time without missing a word. Even after Chu Xinyu left, Chu Jiating and her maid Bingxue reported everything they said.

When the old lady Chu heard this, her face turned pale so blue that she could not be blue anymore. If others learned about these words, she might doubt them, but since Yuyan is a girl who is upright and will tie a knot when she lies, she has no reason to doubt them.

Only then did Xiangcheng punish her in public, but someone there ignored her warning and insulted the master of the Marquis’s legitimate master. Isn’t this slap her in the face? Even if the fifth girl is so unbearable, she is the master of the Marquis’ legitimate master. How could she allow the servants to insult her?

Madam Sun suddenly remembered something and said, "I have learned that the mother Lin from Duke Ying's mansion brought Chen, the wife of Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, to propose marriage. It turned out that they were not mentioning the second young master Jiang San of Duke Ying's mansion, but the second young master of Anxing Boqi's family who has a marriage relationship with Duke Ying's mansion. There are rumors that this second young master is a fool."

A foolish guy?

Old Mrs. Chu was stunned. No matter how bad the daughter of her marquis's mansion was, she would not be so humble. At that time, she agreed to the fifth girl and the third son of the Duke of Ying's mansion. At least he was a normal person and had a good family background. She could help the marquis' mansion after marrying her.

Now that I have changed into a fool, I let outsiders know that I thought the Marquis’ Mansion was so in a state of being in a position to sell women for honor, how could other girls in the mansion get married?

Madam Sun speculated: "I guess the eldest lady is afraid that you will not agree. I think that if Miss Wu's reputation is damaged, no one will gossip about it with a fool, and she can use this matter to control Miss Wu. Otherwise, why would she be so anxious to let Miss Wu go to fulfill her wish? It has it every month on the first and fifteenth day of the day, and it is not a few days short of it. Besides, she hadn't been to Longhua Temple before, and the road conditions there are not a single thing, so she didn't know what the road there was? It took a lot of time to go there, and even if Miss Wu was able to come back, she would be exhausted."

Yu Yan nodded and agreed, "When the fifth girl quarreled with the sixth girl, the fifth girl said that the sixth girl knew it clearly and said that she was spreading rumors in front of the fourth girl, but the sixth girl did not refute it."

So the words of the Fourth Girl accusing Liu Yatou in the hall are true. Is it the Sixth Girl who instigated the Fourth Girl to steal the invitation from Wu Yatou?

The more Mrs. Chu heard it, her heart became trembling, and her face turned pale. If the fifth girl hadn't met the old lady of Duke E, her reputation would have been destroyed like this. If it weren't for the kind-hearted person when she went down the mountain, the fifth girl might not have come back yet?

What exactly does the eldest daughter-in-law want to do?

Don’t she know what consequences will be brought to the Marquis’ Mansion if the Wu Yatou fails to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet?

Yuyan was afraid that the old lady would be angry and advised her to calm down. How could Mrs. Chu not get angry? She immediately sent someone to tell her that Yuan was going to Anshantang.

...

Chu Xinyu returned to Xiaozhuyuan and immediately took a hot bath. He washed away his fatigue. He changed into a long robe with red tiny tiny silk, and draped his half-wet hair.

Lan Yi, who was ordered to do business outside, also came back. Zhu Bo was telling her vividly about the fourth girl coming to Xiaozhuyuan to make trouble. When she saw Chu Xinyu coming out, she immediately stopped the sound and ran over, took a clean cloth towel, and prepared to suck her hair dry.

Chu Xinyu waved his hand and said that he didn't need it, so he let his hair be covered like this.

At this time, Zi Ling brought the dinner with her little maid. Chu Xinyu had no appetite these days, so the dishes were mainly light. After using the meal, Zhao's mother waved her to the others and poured her a cup of tea, and said worriedly: "Girl, the fourth girl may not give up today. Be careful about her in the future. Aunt Wang is not as gentle as she appears."

"She is not docile, nor is I pure and kind." Chu Xinyu held the tea cup, and the fragrance of tea was suffocating. She tasted it lightly, "Mom, how is Aunt Wang and the eldest lady's relationship in the past two years since I left?"

Zhao's mother said: "They are the same as before, and there is no change."

Very few high-ranking families were like the Hou Mansion, and their wives and concubines were so harmonious. In the past, Yuan was kind to him and only scolded him when she bullied Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang always looked pitiful and stood with her. Anyone who didn't know thought that he was bullying her.

Now that she has changed her previous attitude, she no longer pretends to be weak and pitiful in front of her, maybe she gave birth to a young man again, and she gave birth to two sons in the eldest son. The mother is noble because of her son. No matter how she is in the Marquis's Mansion, she has a support, so why should she look at people's expressions? No wonder Chu Jiaqi has not seen each other for two years and has become more and more arrogant.

Chu Xinyu sneered and thought, the more arrogant she is, the better she is. This is easy to use, so that she can taste the taste of being framed but isolated and helpless!
