First Concubine

Chapter 32: Severely Injuring My Sister (1)

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Feng's personal maid Ah Rong walked over and dressed Shui Lingyu three or two times. The two exchanged glances. Shui Lingyu's long eyelashes trembled and she said nothing.

"Little beast! Kneel down too!" The old lady pointed at Shui Lingyu, and Shui Lingyu knelt down as instructed. The old lady said angrily, "How come you got together with Qin Zhixiao, ah? You're seducing people in the house. , you are so thick-skinned!”

Shui Lingyu's red and swollen eyes once again overflowed with tears: "Grandma! I didn't mean to do it. I just came here to pick some flowers and planned to go back and teach my fifth sister how to make rouge. I often come here to pick flowers and there has never been any problem. Grandma, you can ask my mother and maids who are responsible for cleaning this area. They all know that I love the flowers here!”

The old lady looked at Mother Wang, who nodded. In fact, as soon as she discovered the situation, she interrogated the nearby maidservant Shui Lingyu. Shui Lingyu did go in and out of Yanlanxuan frequently.

Shui Lingyu cried so hard: "I picked flowers and was about to leave as usual, but suddenly I felt light and was carried into the house by my cousin... Wuwu... My cousin drank too much, and his eyes were cloudy. Yes, I desperately told her that I was Shui Lingyu and begged him not to do this to me! But...but my cousin couldn't seem to hear anything I said...Grandma, I really...I really didn't expect this to happen! Such a thing... A woman who has lost her chastity can only be a concubine. I am the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, my aunt is the imperial concubine, and one of my sisters is the future crown princess and the other is the future heirloom. I will not abuse it like this. Go and seduce a concubine yourself, and then become his concubine, grandma - please give me a lesson!"

Indeed, the family of Shangshu Mansion is so expensive that, let alone a concubine, even if the prince asks to marry the daughter of Shui Mansion as a concubine, she and Shui Hangge will have to consider it. She knew more or less what happened in the Guo Mansion last time. It was hard for her to believe that Qin Zhixiao had no ill thoughts about Shui Lingyu. When Shui Hangge saw them alone in a room before, Qin Zhixiao insisted that they were just passing by, hum! He clearly only wanted to play with Shui Lingyu and had no intention of giving Shui Lingyu any status! So what if Shui Lingyu is a concubine? The concubine is also the daughter of Shangshu Mansion! She is also a yellow flower eldest daughter! How could he be allowed to play with Qin Zhixiao again and again? The old lady covered her nose, not wanting to be dizzy by the strong smell of alcohol: "Someone is coming! Call the master over!"

"Yes!" Jade picked up her skirt and walked to the study in the outer courtyard.

Shui Lingyu was overjoyed. The rice was finally cooked. This time, Qin Zhixiao had to marry her whether he wanted to or not! Shui Lingyu touched her flat belly and smiled lightly, because soon she would have an unshakable piece of evidence!

About half a quarter of an hour later, Jade turned back, her expression extremely ugly. The old lady’s gray eyebrows twisted: “Why are you back so soon? Master is not in the house?”

Jade approached the old lady with a solemn expression and told her about meeting Du's mother on the way. The old lady's temples jumped suddenly and her eyes almost popped out!

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! I want to see who dared to take advantage of the ambition of the leopard? Dare to cause trouble in Minyu's yard! Call the master together!" The old lady's chest was like a rolling wave, rising and falling, and her breathing was like a wave. The waves are surging with rage that will destroy the world! If talking about Shui Lingyu only hurt her face and made her feel unhappy, then smearing Shui Minyu would be like stabbing her in the heart!

Shui Lingyu was confused. The old lady... just left like that? Father isn't coming either? Then didn't she act in vain? When the old lady turned around, she bravely said loudly: "Best farewell to grandma!"

The old lady stopped for a moment, and then she remembered that there was one more thing that had to be done at the moment. She took a few deep breaths and said: "Let the eldest lady personally send the young master back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! By the way, tell the Prime Minister's Mansion that their good sons have done the same thing." What!” She didn’t want a woman who had not left the government to get involved in such dirty things, so Wang’s mother was embarrassed to tell the truth in front of Shui Linglong, and she sent Shui Linglong back to Lingxiang Courtyard before she came over. Now that she has no other skills, Shui Hange and Shui Minyu must stay. She can't trust Qin Fangyi. Shui Lingxi can't take on a big role, and Shui Minhui is no longer in the house, so Shui Linglong is the only one left. Not knowing what she thought of, she smiled faintly and became more determined to send Shui Linglong.

Shui Hange and the old lady arrived at Shui Minyu's yard almost at the same time. At the door, Shui Hangge found that the old lady was so angry that her face turned pale. He hurriedly took Mother Wang's place and helped the old lady with his own hands: "Son, please help me. Be sure to calm down the fire and don’t hurt your body. My son will feel bad.”

The old lady snorted coldly and shook off his hand: "Do you feel sorry for me, a lonely old woman, or are you afraid that if I die, you will have to resign?"

There was a buzz in Shui Hange's head, and he looked horrified. He shamelessly held the old lady's arm again: "Mom, you really wronged your son. You gave birth to your son, and you gave birth to him with big breasts." "Why doesn't my son feel sorry for you?"

 The old lady snorted again, ignored him, and...didn't let go of his hand.

Shui Hangge took a long breath. People have to be coaxed as they get older. He really regretted that he didn't have enough experience in coaxing children, and now he doesn't know how to make the old lady happy.

The old lady and Shui Hange, led by Mama Du, crossed the Moon Gate, passed through the main room, walked around the corridor, and saw the troublemakers in the second room of the west wing. There were three people in total. They were all disheveled, with tops and no pants. , all of them had messy buns that covered half of their faces, and they were beaten beyond recognition. Therefore, the old lady and Shui Hangge did not recognize who they were at first glance. They only knew that two of them were slender and dressed in gray. The Taoist robe seems to be Yang Daxian's Taoist boy.

Mama Du pointed at a muscular man with dark yellow skin: "Tell the old lady and the master what happened just now seriously. You are not allowed to add any exaggeration or conceal anything. Do you understand?"

Man, no, Guo Yan showed a look of fear and anxiety, saluted the old lady and Shui Hangge, and said in a loud voice: "That's it, old lady, sir! The slave came in with the fairy boy to catch the monster, the fairy The child said that evil spirit was rampant inside, so the servant kicked the door open. Catching the demons was like putting out a fire. The servant didn't think much of it at the time. Unexpectedly, as soon as the servant entered the house, he saw these three people doing that... dirty thing. thing!"

 Something dirty? Three men? Together? how to do? Shui Hange was distracted, so surprised that he couldn't even utter a single word!

Guo Yan pointed at the two thinner people, with a confused expression on his face, and said, "He is the one at the bottom, he is the one in the middle, he is the one above!"

Shui Hangge and the old lady followed Guo Yan's gestures with their sharp eyes. When they saw the last man, they both felt that this man looked familiar, as if they had seen him somewhere.

Guo Yan continued: "He lied that he was the eldest young master of Shangshu Mansion. Although I have never met the eldest young master, I know that the legitimate son of the Minister of Rites will never do such a shameful and despised thing! So, The servant beat him up! The other two tried to escape, but the servant also beat them up. "

 The old lady’s eyebrows jumped!

Shui Hange's eyes flashed, and he strode forward, reaching out his hand to lift his black hair from his face. However, the man trembled all over and shrank back. Shui Hange grabbed his neck and stared intently. Look, a bolt from the blue came straight from the blue, and it stunned him! From his hair to his toes, from his eyes to his dantian, every part of him is about to spit out fire!

This...this person who was beaten so hard that even I and grandma didn't recognize him...isn't Shui Minyu, who is he?

As soon as the old lady saw Shui Hangge's almost collapsed expression, she knew where that sense of familiarity came from. This man... was really his grandson! The old lady felt as if she had been hit in the head, and her whole body fell into an unprecedented coldness. Suddenly, the old lady didn't know what to think of. She walked up to the other two men in three or two steps, opened their hair, looked at them carefully, and then mentioned the old lady. His legs kicked towards the two of them!

 Changfeng!

 Changan!

The book boy given to Shui Minyu by the Prime Minister's Mansion!

The old lady looked at Shui Minyu: "It's so disappointing! It's so... disappointing!" Asking the mage to give him such an important appearance job, isn't it just hoping that he can establish prestige in the house? He is the legitimate son, the heir to the Shangshu Mansion. She intends to cultivate him, but he pretends to be a public servant for personal gain, and creates a huge trap - he lets the book boy pretend to be Yang Daxian's Taoist boy to sneak into the manor! That **** Yang Daxian deserves to die too! He actually had a secret affair with her and Shui Minyu at the same time! If he breathes, will he die? !

Guo Yan's deep eyes flashed with a gleam of light at the speed of a meteor. Then he fell to his knees and said with a sad face: "Old... Master... When you look at him like this, did you hit the wrong person? He is really the official of the Shangshu Mansion. The eldest young master? This... this... Oh my god, please spare me! I don’t know what to do! I didn’t expect the eldest young master to have **** with a man!”

"Get up, he's not the eldest young master. How could the legitimate son of my Shangshu Mansion do such immoral things?" Shui Hangge said through gritted teeth, then slapped Shui Minyu's already swollen face. Go up, "Treasonous and unethical! Act recklessly!"

Shui Minyu was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and in pain, and she couldn’t even speak out. She also... didn’t dare to speak! He was feeling aggrieved. Why did Yang Daxian's Taoist boy rush in even though he had already agreed that there would be no need to do anything in his yard? What part went wrong?

After beating Shui Minyu, Shui Hangge turned to look at Guo Yan and said in a deep voice: "Fighting is prohibited in the house. If you find any bad situation, you should report it to your superiors as soon as possible instead of committing violence on your own. As a slave, you are overstepping your bounds." Now, go to the accountant to get two months’ monthly payment, and leave the Shangshu Mansion.”

 Guo Yan secretly complained that he was only focused on repairing Shui Minyu, but he forgot the rules of living in the big house. Shui Hangge was afraid that if he continued to stay, he would recognize Shui Minyu one day. Thinking about his purpose of entering the mansion, he couldn't help but regretful. If he had known this, he would have blocked the door directly! Why do you have to beat Shui Minyu?

He hasn’t seen Shui Linglong yet, how can he be willing to do so?

Mama Du saw that the master had spoken, but he still refused to leave, for fear that the master would be angry with her when he came to his senses. After all, she was the one who brought him into the inner house. In fact, Mrs. Du is overly worried. If she really wants to be prosecuted one by one, the old lady will be implicated. Whether the old lady is strict in running the house or not, Shui Hangge cannot and dare not comment on it.

Mother Du pulled Guo Yan out of the courtyard and was about to take him to the accounting office to collect the money. He suddenly stopped and said, "Mother Du, I don't want the money anymore. You can go and get it. You let me see the eldest lady." ,OK?"

Mother Du first remembered the last time Guo Yan peeked at the eldest lady behind the rockery. She couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and scolded: "You are seeking death! Do you really dare to have ill intentions towards the eldest lady? Go, go, eldest lady! Is this worthy of a low-class person like you?”

Guo Yan's deep eyes flashed with murderous intent! But thinking of the relationship between Mama Du and Shui Linglong, he instead begged: "Mama Du, you misunderstood. I just want to kowtow to her and thank her for her kindness to me."

"You met the eldest lady? When? It couldn't be in Zhuangzi, right?"

"Then... it's Zhuangzili! She gave me my life. Without her, there would be no me in this world, so I really just kowtow to her and leave!"

 What does it mean that his life was given by the eldest lady? Mother Du shrugged doubtfully, could it be that... the eldest lady had saved his life before? right! That must be it! At this thought, Mama Du was relieved, and even a little grateful that he taught Shui Minyu a lesson. She smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but the eldest lady just got the old lady's order to leave the house, and I don't know when she will be able to help you." "Reply, you can't stay in the house for a moment, so you can go on your way with peace of mind, and I will truthfully convey your gratitude to the eldest lady."

out? Maybe... Guo Yan's eyes regained their luster: "Where did she go?"

Mother Du suddenly recalled what happened to Luo Cheng, her eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "Look, I'm no longer from Lingxiang Courtyard, how can I know the whereabouts of the eldest lady? So, what do you want to say? Tell me, I promise to bring it to you! "The eldest lady does not need and cannot have anything to do with the men in Zhuangzi!

Guo Yan felt sad in his heart. He didn't know how to cherish her when she was by his side in the previous life, but it was so difficult to see her in this life! What did he have to convey? That he is Xun Bin, her son from the previous life? Will she believe it? She will definitely think he is crazy!

Guo Yan turned around, with tears shining in his eyes. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said, "Just say that Xun Bin has been looking for her. If she also wants to find Xun Bin, she can go to Xiangman in the west of the city." Floor." After finishing his words, he disappeared into the dark night with heavy steps.

Mama Du looked at his lonely back, and for some reason, she wanted to cry.

After Shui Hange dismissed everyone, he beat Shui Minyu hard. Qin Fangyi got the news and ran to the rescue, but was slapped mercilessly by Shui Hangge. As long as she thought of Changfeng He Chang'an was sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so Shui Hangge couldn't help but blame Qin Fangyi, the Prime Minister's daughter!

Qin Fangyi is so wronged. She doesn't know about it at all, okay? If something like this happened to her son, it would be more difficult for her as a mother than anyone else! The only good thing is that her son is the one above!

In the Fushou Courtyard, the old lady drank two large bowls of Qingxin tea before she could barely suppress her anger. She leaned weakly on the bedside, pressed her temples with one hand, and sobbed silently.

Shui Hange knelt in front of the bed, not daring to let out a breath. He thought of the three sons the old lady gave birth to. Except for the third brother who died young, he was an official and the second brother was in business, and they all lived a prosperous life. This is consistent with The good education of the old lady and the old man are closely related. Now, he has taught his son this kind of virtue, and he is really... ashamed and uneasy!

 “My son made a mistake, please ask your mother to punish you.”

“Then tell me, where is the mistake?”

“My son’s mistake was that he indulged Minyu too much and focused too much on cultivating his talent and learning, thus neglecting moral discipline.”

"only these?"

“…” Shui Hangge lowered his head and remained silent.

 This useless son! The old lady was so angry that her eyes were filled with stars. She pointed at his nose and said sternly: "Okay, don't you dare say it. I'll say it for you, old lady! What's wrong with you is that you don't have a strong will, that you're strong on the outside and cowardly on the inside. It’s a violation of the rules that have been passed down for thousands of years! Since ancient times, a woman obeys her father before marriage, her husband after marriage, and her son after her husband’s death. But look, who has the final say between you and Qin Fangyi? "

"Son..." Shui Hange had just said two words when the old lady interrupted him sternly, "Don't tell me that she begs you in a low voice every time. You are so indulgent because you can't bear it! Humph! Never mind. What method did she use? It’s an indisputable fact that you were completely influenced by her! Do you dare to swear that she didn’t have some evil ideas when you stayed at Changlexuan recently?”

Shui Hange's chest shook and he lowered his head in shame.

　　After Mama Du came out of Mama Zhao’s house, she told her about the debauched deeds of Shui Hangge and the maids. She didn’t believe it at first, but now she looked at him and he clearly acquiesced! I really... really want to **** her off to death! The old lady was distraught: "Your legitimate wife is alienating me and treating me disrespectfully. You turn a blind eye. Well, in order not to embarrass you, I will also turn a blind eye! All I say to the outside world is, I am happy Jing doesn't want to be disturbed, and she also neglects her granddaughter and aunts! You are hiding your ears, but have you ever thought about how miserable I am, a lonely old woman who lost her husband before she was thirty? "

"Mother—" Shui Hange's heart felt like it was being dug open by someone's hands. The shortcomings that he had been avoiding thinking about suddenly came out, and a strong sense of self-blame surged into his heart. At first, Qin Fangyi was like this. Some did not dare to criticize harshly, so he secretly gave himself an excuse to delay: if the old lady complained, he would immediately order Qin Fangyi to restrain herself. In fact, what even he himself didn't want to admit was how afraid he was that the old lady would complain... He couldn't afford to offend the Prime Minister's Mansion! Later, his official career was prosperous and he gradually straightened his back in front of Qin Fangyi. However, his neglect of the old lady for many years seemed to have become a habit. He also felt that the reason why the old lady did not complain was because she was really living a good life. She is open-minded, has pure six senses, is indifferent to the world, and is content with the status quo...
