Zhang's face was burning. Her daughter was obviously crying and injured, but it was her daughter who was at fault in the end?

Hearing Mrs. Chen say this, her expression turned ugly. If Mrs. Chen brought up such a small matter, it would directly rise to the level of whether she would cause her mother-in-law to become angry and make her end badly. If she handled it lightly, wouldn't it? Is it tantamount to indulging her daughter and not caring about her mother-in-law's body? Even she herself agrees with her daughter's words?

She looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes. She had just thought that Xuan Ling was at fault and asked Chen to punish Xuan Ling severely. Now she found out that it was Xuan Yi who was at fault. Without a severe punishment, she could not settle the matter.

As for how to impose heavy penalties?

She thought of Gu Xiuming, who was still in the ancestral hall and thought about copying the family rules. She thought that as the heir apparent of the Hou family and the only direct son, Gu Xiuming had been whipped twenty-five times, had the family rules copied a hundred times, and was banned from the ancestral hall for a month.

With this lesson in mind, her daughter verbally offended her mother-in-law, bullied her younger sister, and even made excuses in front of her elders. She probably had to punish her daughter by going to the ancestral hall, otherwise it would seem too light.

Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes and said with deep heart: "Xuan Yi, you have let your mother down so much. You bullied your sister at home, insulted your elders with your words, and you even made excuses in front of your third aunt. You blatantly wronged your sister. Mother will not be serious this time. Even if I punish you severely, you won't realize your mistake. So, I will punish you by going to the ancestral hall to kneel in front of your ancestors and think about it for two hours, copying the family rules twenty times, and being banned from leaving the yard for half a month as punishment."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Xuanyi was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that her mother, who always loved her, would be so cruel. She burst into tears: "Mom, you are so cruel!" She ran away crying after saying this.

Mrs. Chen also secretly took a breath. She knew how much Mrs. Zhang loved Gu Xuanyi. She held it like a jewel in the palm of her hand and doted on her. She copied the house rules twenty times and was grounded for half a month. It was nothing. Kneeling down After thinking about it for two hours in front of the ancestors, that is the highlight. Anyone who can be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall has made a big mistake. Who would not be ashamed of being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall? Mrs. Zhang can really be cruel.

Mrs. Zhang was afraid that something would happen to her daughter, so she hurriedly ordered her daughter's two maids: "Go and watch the eldest girl quickly, and take the eldest girl to the ancestral hall to be punished."

Seeing that the eldest lady had not yet thought of punishing them, the two maids hurriedly chased after them, so that the eldest lady would not have to think about it later.

Mrs. Chen asked warmly: "Sister-in-law, why don't you go and take a look? Xuan Yi grew up with a lot of pampering, and it seems she has never been punished like this. If you don't go and enlighten me, what will happen if you don't think about it later?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's heart tightened, and she glanced at Mrs. Chen coldly. Holding back her anger, she gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your concern, my second brother and sister. I'll go and have a look." After that, he raised his head and walked quickly. Bu chased after his daughter in the direction she left.

Gu Xuanling glanced at the direction in which Zhang and her daughter were leaving, and was afraid for a moment. If her third aunt hadn't witnessed what happened, would she be the one who was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, had the family rules copied, and was grounded for half a month?

Mrs. Chen looked at her hurriedly leaving figure, smiled imperceptibly, and turned to thank Meng Jinyao: "Third brother and sister, thank you so much this time. If you hadn't seen it, Xuan Ling would be so clumsy and tongue-tied. This girl will suffer a big loss."

Meng Jinyao replied warmly: "Second sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite. I just respect the truth. No matter whether Xuan Yi or Xuan Ling made a mistake today, I will not take sides."

Mrs. Chen thanked her again: "Anyway, I have to thank the third younger brother and sister. The third younger brother and sister showed up in time to stop Xuan Yi from slapping Xuan Ling. The child was quite violent. If you hadn't appeared, Xuan Ling would have been weak. , I will have to be pushed down and beaten by her, maybe my face will be scratched."

Hearing this, Gu Xuanling felt even more frightened. It wasn't that her aunt was exaggerating, but her eldest sister was really reckless when she was angry. She was already old enough to marry, so how could she get married if she ruined her face? Fortunately, the third aunt arrived in time.

Meng Jinyao didn't want to hear anyone's thanks, so she exchanged a few words with Mrs. Chen and left with her maid.

On the way, thinking of Chen's attitude just now, Meng Jinyao sighed with emotion: "This child Xuan Ling is lucky to have his aunt protecting him like this."

Chunliu quite agreed with these words and responded with her lips: "The second girl is very filial to her aunt and sensible. When Aunt Fang was alive, she was gentle and responsible. She did not fight or rob her, and she was also respectful to the second wife. The mother and daughter got the second wife." The second lady will naturally take care of your heart."

Chunliu paused as he spoke, remembering something, and then added: "Speaking of Aunt Fang, she was still the maid beside the old lady. She was deeply loved by the old lady, and was attracted by the second master. She asked the old lady I begged her to be my maid, and when the second lady came in, I made her my concubine."

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that she had to look at the Buddha's face even if she didn't look at the monk's face. The concubine who came out of her mother-in-law's yard and was loved by her mother-in-law had different meanings from the concubine who was brought in from the outside. , if she is treated harshly, it will also be a slap in the mother-in-law’s face invisibly.

Moreover, Aunt Fang's duty is not to fight or snatch, and Xuan Ling is also filial and sensible. As long as she is not a narrow-minded and intolerant aunt, she will not ruin her reputation by trying to tease a little concubine who has lost her biological mother. Daughters are better. If a concubine marries a good family and becomes promising in the future, she may be able to help her son. After all, thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. There is no telling what will happen in the future. Do not make enemies for yourself. .

Looking at Mrs. Chen's attitude, she was somewhat sincere. It was probably because there was a little girl who was as filial to him as always, and she developed feelings for him over time.

From this point of view, Chen's nature is actually not bad, much better than Zhang's.

After a while, Meng Jinyao suddenly asked: "Second sister-in-law is not bad at Xuan Ling, why is Xuan Ling so timid?"

Chunliu replied: "The eldest girl often bullies the second girl behind her back. The second girl is afraid of being bullied and does not dare to get along with the eldest girl in private. It is estimated that the eldest girl, the direct descendant, has been compared with the eldest girl, and she has been ridiculed a lot by the eldest girl. The girl has low self-esteem and is cowardly."

Meng Jinyao glanced at her: "You know quite a lot."

Chunliu explained: "My servant was serving the old lady before, and the two girls had a conflict. The old lady was very clear-minded and knew who was at fault first. She just didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the first and second bedrooms, so as not to help the second girl. The eldest son complained that the old lady was partial and only asked the two parents to handle it. However, the second lady is not easy to bully. If the matter between the two girls comes to the elders, the second lady will protect her. "

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao nodded understandingly. Every family has its own problems that are difficult to recite, and there are many conflicts. Compared to the Gu family, the Meng family is even more miserable. Although the Gu family has struggles, at least they are not like the Meng family. Make a fuss...

That’s all, it’s all over.
