I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

Qin Mengyuan only came back to the mansion near the second watch, and there were many errands in the yamen. After leaving the yamen, he went to the newly opened restaurant with his colleagues to eat and drink, and drank a few cups of wine. , as soon as I entered the yard, I started calling "Yujin"—it was the new housemaid hired in the past six months, and it was the most lovable time.

I didn't want Yujin to come out and hold Qin Mengyuan's arm, but she didn't flirt with her, but said cautiously: "Master, my wife will teach you to go there—the third girl didn't know what she did wrong, she was punished by her wife to kneel in the wing room, and the two Auntie also knelt on the porch, and it has been most of the day."

The drunkenness in Qin Mengyuan's mind woke up most of the time in an instant, and he paused, causing Yujin to stagger forward, before he could barely stop. "Is your wife asleep over there?"

"Maybe he hasn't slept yet... He should be waiting for the master to come back." Yujin said timidly.

Yujin's words are reserved, especially when it comes to the mistress, words like "probably" sounded the same as "sure" in Qin Mengyuan's ears, he took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the courtyard Go, and drop another sentence: "I'll go to see my wife, Lingniang has always been timid and honest—what mistakes can she make?"

Qin Mengyuan was really puzzled. In his impression, Lingniang was just like what he said: honest, timid, and responsible, with the same temperament as her biological mother, second aunt, and biological younger sister, Yinniang.However, compared to Yinniang, Lingniang was often accompanied by Zhiniang, which left some impressions on Qin Mengyuan.If the person who made the mistake today was the quail-like little daughter Yinniang, Qin Mengyuan would be even more surprised.

He walked quickly all the way to the main courtyard, Wei Shi was not asleep yet, the lights in the main room were still on, Shan Zhi was waiting at the door of the main room, saw Qin Mengyuan entered the courtyard, and rushed to greet him.As soon as he walked to the middle of the yard, he saw a figure flying down from the side corridor quickly, and threw himself in front of Qin Mengyuan, knelt down on his knees: "Master! Master, please spare the third girl, the third girl didn't mean it... ..."

Shanzhi was taken aback, and turned her head to look at the main room—everyone in the main room must have heard such a loud voice, and the wife was disturbed...She suddenly looked away, remembering what she was going to do: Welcome sir!That's right, the master was probably more frightened than the wife!It's just that the master never directly reprimanded or punished the maids in the main courtyard, and she even put the master behind the wife for a while.

Qin Mengyuan was indeed frightened by his aunt. The moment he saw the figure, he thought there was some assassin hidden in the yard. Then he heard the voice of the second aunt, and then put his heart back into his stomach, but also revealed Some were exasperated, "It's late at night, what does it look like to cry and cry? What if it scares your wife and makes her sick?"

The second aunt lowered her head after being reprimanded, but she didn't hold back her voice, and even hugged Qin Mengyuan's feet, "Master, I can't help it as a concubine—please spare the third girl!"

"Okay, okay..." Qin Mengyuan got a headache from the second aunt's crying, and he agreed perfunctorily, and looked over the second aunt's head again, glaring angrily at Shanzhi who was stunned to the side.

Shanzhi got this angry stare, and then regained her senses in an instant, and called the maids and maids who were hiding in the shadows to come over, and half helped and half dragged the second aunt away, "Master, the wife is still awake, waiting for you ..." She said as she led Qin Mengyuan into the main room.

Wu Mei was standing in the small flower hall listening to the envoy, when she heard Qin Mengyuan enter the room, she hurried to the main room to meet her.Today, such a big incident happened during the day, it was almost three o'clock, and the two big maids around Wei were still on duty, no one dared to be lazy and rest.

The two maidservants escorted Qin Mengyuan all the way into Wei's living room, and after getting Wei's wink, they cautiously exited the inner room, but they didn't dare to go far. say.

"What happened outside just now, why is there such a big commotion?" Second Auntie's voice was very loud, and Wu Mei could hear it clearly in the room, she couldn't help being curious, and asked Shan Zhi.

Shanzhi also replied with the same voice: "Hasn't she been kneeling on the porch for most of the day? When the master came, I was going to meet her, but she flew down and opened her mouth to yell - it stands to reason , After kneeling for a long time, her legs are numb even if she is not useless, she is moving faster than me!"

Wu Mei looked at the shock in Shanzhi's eyes, smiled and pushed her, "You are usually as slow as a cow, but if you move your legs a little, you will be faster than you."

Shan Zhi glared at Wu Mei, but she didn't really get angry because of being insulted.The two of them are about the same age, and entered the Qin Mansion almost at the same time. They even went to serve in the Wei family's courtyard, promoted all the way, and finally became the maidservant at the same pace. Although there were some secret competitions, the relationship on the surface has always been good. .The two met their eyes and played silently for a while, listening to the sudden sound of teacups falling from the inner room, and at the same time showing a look of determination.

Wei Shi didn't call anyone out, and the two of them could only wait in the flower hall, and couldn't rush in.It's just that the cups were all broken, and it was obvious that he was very angry, but the sound of talking inside could not be heard in the flower hall...

Just as he was wondering, Qin Mengyuan's voice came out clearly from the inner room, "Who taught her this? Does she think the house is too small for her to live in? How old is she, and she is thinking about getting married ——Still rushing to become a concubine for others!"

"Master, calm down..." Wei's voice came immediately, but he could only hear this sentence, and soon the voice in the inner room became inaudible again.

Shanzhi and Wumei looked at each other, then poked Wumei lightly, "What do you think the master will do with the third girl?"

"I don't know—I can't just give it a good beating. After all, it's a girl's house, a jerk..." Wu Mei muttered a few words softly. She knew more about this matter than Shan Zhi. Guessing Wei's intention to keep Lingniang, only let her kneel in the Buddhist hall to reflect and not take the next step, but now, Qin Mengyuan is furious, and she is not sure what will happen next.

The two maids were touching their heads and chatting, when the door of the inner room was suddenly pushed open from the inside, Qin Mengyuan's anger remained undiminished, and he walked out with wind under his feet.Wei Shi chased after him, wearing only a homely robe, "Master, calm down—don't scare Lingniang!"

The husband and wife rushed into the yard one after the other, without turning their eyes to the two maids.Wumei and Shanzhi didn't dare to slack off, they hurriedly followed, and the other turned around to get the fur cloak aside.

When Shan Zhi chased them into the yard with their cloaks in their hands, Qin Mengyuan and Wei Shi had already reached the door of the wing room. The second aunt knelt down and hugged Qin Mengyuan's legs: "Master, please spare the third girl!"

"It's all a good daughter you taught!" After hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Qin Mengyuan no longer wanted to comfort his aunt.Wumei protected the Wei family and bypassed the second aunt, and followed Qin Mengyuan into the wing room, Shan Zhi fell at the end, seeing the despair on the second aunt's face, she couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness.

She beckoned to the little maid on the side, "Help Second Auntie to the side to have a rest." This sorrow brought only this sentence - that's all she could do, and then hugged the two cloaks Followed into the wing.

"So, the master is so angry, and the third girl still doesn't admit her mistake, so the master asks people to take the third girl back to the room and lock her up so that no one can visit her?"

The farce of the previous night did not reach Aniniang's ears until the next morning.Forsythia was well-informed, and Zisu and Banxia only heard about the follow-up from her.

"Yes, as soon as the third girl saw the master, she asked her what was wrong. She was all for the Qin family and the master - and said that the wife deliberately refused to allow this marriage, for fear that she would overwhelm the fourth girl in the future... "

"You really dare to say that!" Ban Xia immediately sneered, Zi Su looked ambiguous, even Hui Niang raised her head and cast a surprised look.

"That's not it!" Lian Qiao nodded sharply, "How dare you say such a thing——in front of your wife! Are you crazy?"

"What was your wife's reaction?"

"I can't figure it out." Lian Qiao stuck out her tongue, "But the master was so angry that he called my mother, and two women tied up the third girl and carried her back with her mouth covered. Second aunt They were also locked up, but Miss Wu's eyes are okay this morning? Are they not swollen like rotten peaches?"

Forsythia recently had no chance to follow Huiniang to Dingxing in the morning and evening, and she was in an important position so she couldn't be lazy, so she also took the opportunity to ask Zisu about the morning's affairs.

Zi Su took a look at Hui Niang's face, and said, "Miss Fifth is sick today, so she didn't come here at all."

"Are you really sick? Or..."

"It should be a real illness." Zisu hurriedly cut off Lianqiao's words, "This morning, my wife asked the old lady what she meant, and she has sent someone to call for a doctor—it is said that there are two patients in the family at once, so I need to call for a doctor." Come and take a good look, sir."

"Two patients?" Lian Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: about Lingniang's matter, I'm afraid Qin Mengyuan and Wei Shi have already thought of an excuse to call it a madness.

"It's not easy to go to the third sister's side, but the fifth sister's side is not sealed." Hui Niang hadn't participated in the discussion of the maids before, so she said at this time, "Ban Xia, you can find out a few more later. It’s such an exquisite thing, in the afternoon, I will go to Fifth Sister’s room with Lianqiao, and visit Fifth Sister for me.”

As soon as she opened her mouth, the maids didn't dare to say any more, and they all bowed their heads in response.Hui Niang ordered a few more servant girls, "We know the reason of the third sister's incident, so we will know, but we must stay in this room to death. No one is allowed to talk nonsense when we leave the yard. Say something more to provoke something happened-"

With Hui Niang's current status, she is no longer someone in the Qin family who can be punished by the elders, but the elders are elders after all, and they have been the masters of the family for many years. , secretly adding to her troubles, finding no evidence, and being able to vent her anger - it's hard to say anything else, but Second Aunt can order people to add such small troubles.Not to mention, Lingniang may have really hit some of Wei's thoughts this time, if she let Wei know that Auntie's maid is talking about this unscrupulously, it would be strange if she didn't make trouble for Auntie in private .
