Chapter 20
Chapter 20
As a young expert at teasing, Shuwan is well aware of a truth, when tearing, she must put all responsibilities aside.She is a huge white lotus that emerges from the mud but is not stained. Is she wrong?impossible!Impossible in this life!
Shuwan acted like she was wronged enough, "Emiang, please listen to me, Li Gege didn't take good care of the little elder brother, which caused the little elder brother to get sick. Go to the backyard. They didn't follow the rules and almost delayed the little elder brother. How could I not punish them? If they missed me, I would turn a blind eye and pass by. But the little elder brother belongs to the fourth elder brother The bloodline of the heirs! Don't take it lightly!"
Concubine De still reprimanded Shuwan for not being cautious, "It's okay to teach the servant a lesson, but it's your fault to beat him. The servant was also raised by his parents, so how can you beat him casually? The emperor ruled the world with benevolence and harmony, and the same is true for the harem. On your side, you just need to explain it to the slaves.”
Shuwan wanted to applaud Concubine De, this was pure nonsense, but she had the nerve to say it.
The palace rules and principles are laid out there. If the reasoning is useful, there is no such thing as breaking the palace rules.
Court ladies and eunuchs are not puppets, they are human beings who can think.Are they afraid of their master?No!What really scares them is the power in the master's hands.A monthly salary and a few words of scolding are not painful at all. Only when it really makes them hurt, they will know how serious it is.
If the master has soft ears and no decision, these so-called slaves can treat the master as a puppet and manipulate it at will behind the scenes.
Life in the palace is a game of games all the time, with the husband, the mother-in-law, and the slaves, and if you relax a little, you will be at a disadvantage.
Governing the country with benevolence and harmony is just a fig leaf carefully packaged with rhetoric. Has the emperor killed few people?Did Concubine De ever punish a slave?
Shuwan felt that Concubine De was extremely hypocritical, she was simply shameless.
She is MMP in her heart, but her mouth is still sweet.
"What Er Niang said is very true. The daughter-in-law didn't think carefully. The emperor is lenient. If the old man finds out that I beat someone, it is really not good. From now on... I will beat you secretly, and I will never let anyone know about it!"
Concubine De: "...don't you understand? I said no beating!"
Shuwan made a frightened look, "Yes! Yes! My daughter-in-law is stupid and didn't understand what Er Niang meant. Don't blame Er Niang."
I heard it, but not quite.Tell me to stop hitting people?impossible!I don't listen to my mother's words, can I listen to my mother-in-law?Kill me if you have the ability, otherwise don't try to control me!
Concubine De opened her mouth to reprimand Shuwan, but Shuwan used her interrupting skills to seize the opportunity to tell her grievances.
"Emiang, don't tell me who hit someone first. That Song Gege is worse than Li Gege. Li Gege just didn't take good care of the little elder brother. Song Gege actually hugged Xiao Gege to blow the cold wind to fight for favor! Fortunately, the heavens have eyes. The child is fine, but she is sick. The fourth elder brother still said! This is called good and evil will be rewarded, and the law of heaven favors reincarnation."
Concubine De took a deep breath, looking down on this daughter-in-law even more.
What a clever mouth, blah blah, full of reason.If a mother-in-law says a few words to her, she just listens, so there are so many words.
Concubine De opened her mouth to speak again, but Shuwan spoke again first.
"Mother! Who is slandering me? Where did you hear about our yard? I think so! There are a lot of masters and slaves in the palace, and there are all kinds of birds in the big forest. And those bad things can't be seen Good people, deliberately provoke our relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law! Don't listen to slander!"
After being interrupted twice by Shuwan, Concubine De felt suffocated and blocked.Once Shuwan interfered, she forgot what she originally wanted to say.
Concubine De didn't have time to recall her belly draft, she saw that Shuwan stopped, and quickly spoke, fearing that she would be preempted by Shuwan again.
"Where there is no wind, there are no waves, and flies don't bite seamless eggs. If you can spread such rumors, you must have done something wrong. It is likely that you acted violently and provoked complaints from the people below, which is why such rumors spread. You You have to be perfect in everything before you can overwhelm everyone.”
This statement is completely gangster logic. A person who has done nothing wrong but is convicted just because a fly does not bite a seamless egg, isn't this bullying?
Shuwan mulled over for a while, and began to cry while pinching the handkerchief.
"I'm not afraid of gossip, as long as Erniang believes in me. In my heart, Erniang is just like my own mother. It doesn't matter if others misunderstand me. As long as those close to me believe me, I'm not afraid of anything!"
Concubine De felt depressed, this was a chicken-and-duck talk.She accused Shuwan of not doing well, but there was no shame on Shuwan's face.She asked Shuwan to be perfect, but Shuwan asked her to believe in herself.
This... what is this?
Concubine De said again: "Although little elder brother and little Gege were not born by you, you are their aunt and their mother-in-law. You can't be the shopkeeper. Little elder brother is still sick, and little Gege is also weak. If you want Accumulate more blessings for your children, and beating others to see popularity is bad luck, you are not afraid of offending your children!"
Shuwan pinched the handkerchief and murmured, "What Er Niang said is very true! I treat the two children as if they were my own. I was too anxious and forgot about accumulating blessings. It was because Er Niang was thoughtful. But it shouldn’t be a big problem! Song Gege’s abuse of his daughter has been retribution, if the little elder brother is bumped, Li Gege should also be punished, it doesn’t matter!”
Concubine De: "..."
Concubine De really has nothing to say now, how could there be such a brazen person in the world!You hit someone, and the retribution fell on Li Gege in the end, you really know how to plan!
Concubine De didn't want to talk to Shuwan anymore, she didn't even want to see Shuwan anymore.
She closed her eyes wearily and pressed her forehead, "Go back! Recently, don't walk around casually except to ask for peace, stay at home and copy the Diamond Sutra, eliminate karma and cultivate blessings, and add blessings and wisdom to the little elder brother."
Shuwan slapped her habitually, "Copying scriptures? But Er Niang, I don't believe in Buddhism!"
Concubine De couldn't bear it anymore, she tore off the mask of gentleness and shouted loudly: "If you didn't believe in it before, you will start to believe in it from today! I believe in Buddhism, the fourth elder brother believes in Buddhism, everyone in the palace believes in Buddha, you have to believe in it too! You are so stupid Ru Niu! I will teach you carefully, you are not allowed to talk back! Go back and copy the scriptures! You are not allowed to go out without my permission!"
Shuwan seemed to be petrified, tears streaming down her face.Qiuxiang tugged at her sleeve secretly, Shuwan recovered her senses and hurriedly saluted, and left as if fleeing for her life.
Just as Nanny Ning was about to catch up, Concubine De called to stop her.
"You went to the fourth elder brother's yard and kept an eye on Si Fujin for me. Hmph! I think she has some ideas, you are a ghost, you have the courage to teach her, you are mine, you don't have to be polite to her! "
Nanny Ning saluted solemnly, "Yes! Madam, please rest assured, this servant will definitely handle this job well!"
On the way back, Shuwan sobbed and wiped away tears.
Qiuxiang was very distressed, when had Fujin ever suffered such anger since she was a child?
"Fu Jin, don't cry, justice is at ease, the little elder brother and Song Gege have subsided their fever, this matter is over, don't take it to heart."
Shuwan pinched the handkerchief and gave her a look, she whispered: "Silly girl, these tears are for others to see."
Concubine De is a face-saving person, and she can also do face-saving projects.On the outside, she has always been a gentle mother-in-law, even if she looks down on Shuwan, she will try her best to protect her.Unlike Concubine Yi, she didn't like Wu Fujin and let her be ridiculed.
Today Shuwan left Yonghe Palace with tears in her eyes and met many court ladies and eunuchs on the way. The news that Concubine De reprimanded her daughter-in-law will spread to other concubines tonight.
Concubine De is an elder, and Shuwan can't tell the truth, but other concubines will seize the opportunity to avenge Shuwan.
Shuwan held back her eyes without blinking, and a few more tears fell down.
Her tears can't be shed casually, they must be worth crying, and worthless tears are too cold to wash your feet.
Nurse Ning didn't care to pack her things, and she didn't care to say goodbye to her friends and juniors in Yonghe Palace. She hurried, and finally caught up with Shuwan, and came with her to the fourth elder brother's courtyard.
Shuwan wiped her tears, pretending to be out of spirits to deal with Nanny Ning.
"My aunt is wronged by following me. You just arrived today, so don't be in a hurry to wait on me. I'll send a few maids in the palace to help you pack your clothes and luggage, and then let Chun'er accompany you around the yard to get acquainted. "
Nurse Ning smiled and said: "This servant is not a noble person, so he doesn't need to rest. Wait for this servant to bring his luggage and arrange his own things before coming to serve Fujin."
Shuwan said lightly: "Follow auntie! I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."
Chun'er accompanied Nanny Ning, Shuwan returned to the main room, Xia'er found a set of snow-green homely clothes for Shuwan to change into.
"Fujin, this slave entered the palace with Chun'er, and was assigned to the fourth elder brother's courtyard together. She saw that this slave got Fujin's favor, and she was very envious. Fujin, you have discerning eyes, what do you think of Chun'er?"
Shuwan asked her back, "What do you think of Chun'er?"
Xia'er is very good at trying to figure out what her master wants. She has observed Shuwan for a long time, and feels that she likes to be straightforward when talking to her own people. Xia'er has also learned to do what she likes and become frank.
"Chun'er is very popular, has a sweet mouth, and can get in touch with anyone. She has a good heart, and my servant has climbed up your big tree. Of course, I hope that my little sister can also climb up."
Shuwan smiled and said: "I can trust your vision, but I have never seen her ability. If she wants to climb up, she has to submit a certificate."
Xia'er smiled, "I understand, I have thanked Fujin on behalf of Chun'er."
Qiuxiang and Bingxiang looked at each other and smiled, Chunxia and Chunxia were more familiar with the environment in the palace, and with their help, Fujin's life would be easier.
They are not afraid that Chun Xia will compete with them, they and Fujin have grown up together, no matter how powerful Chun and Xia are, they are no match.
Qiuxiang made a cup of tea for Shuwan, "Fu Jin, the fourth elder brother will be back in a while, why did you tell him about going to Yonghe Palace?"
Bingxiang came up with random ideas, "It's fine to just make it through, the fourth elder brother is so busy, how can he have time to care about the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"
Xia'er didn't feel very good, "This is not a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling, it's a mother-in-law scolding her. There must be a reason for the mother-in-law to get angry. There is nothing wrong with us Fujin, it is the mother-in-law who wants to find fault."
Qiu Xiang hurriedly said: "You can't say that in front of the fourth elder brother! I'm afraid the fourth elder brother will not be happy when Fujin speaks ill of her mother-in-law."
Bingxiang said: "But if you don't make it clear, how wronged we Fujin are!"
Xia'er sighed: "It feels so tiring to be married! You have to serve your husband, you have to be a housekeeper, you have to be filial to your elders, you have to swallow your anger, and you have to endure a concubine in the backyard."
Shuwan smiled and said: "Hey, is Miss Xia sympathizing with me? Aren't you waiting to leave the palace to get married at the age of 25? Why do you feel tired of getting married?"
Qiuxiang and Bingxiang make fun of Xia'er, making fun of her thinking about men.
Xia'er was ashamed and blushed, "Then... that's what I said casually. Fujin also said that her childhood sweetheart might have married someone else a long time ago. I just sighed casually, thinking that it's hard to be a man after getting married."
Shuwan said seriously: "No! I don't think it's difficult at all, I just like to fight with others! I have almost no failures in arguing with others. I don't pay attention to Li Gege Song Gege at all."
What's more, the fourth elder brother is so handsome when he doesn't talk or go to bed, but his reserved and noble temperament attracts her.Abstinence under the bed and unrestrained on the bed, if you miss the fourth elder brother, it will be a lifetime regret.
"Although sometimes there are too many things to do and the mood will become restless and agitated, but overall I am happy. I like to see people hate me to the point of gnashing their teeth, but they can't kill me. The more angry others are, the more I feel hapiness!"
Shuwan snickered in her heart, wow, I'm so perverted!
At this time, a little palace maid came in and reported, "Fu Jin, Sister Chun'er asked the servants to come over and pass on a message. Nurse Ning insisted on seeing Little Elder Brother and Little Gege, but she couldn't stop her. I don't know if Li Gege and Song Gege will I will take this opportunity to speak ill of you, please prepare early."
Shuwan lowered her head and thought for a while, Li Gege and Song Gege should not be that stupid.
As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the present, Shuwan is their mistress, and they will have to live under Shuwan's hands for the rest of their lives.
It would be too stupid to offend Shuwan for the sake of being straightforward for a while.
Shuwan asked the little maid to go down, and Qiuxiang stuffed the little maid with a handful of copper coins as a reward for running errands.
The little maid went out happily, and Qiuxiang sighed in annoyance.
"Mother Ning is not easy to get along with at first glance. She was very strict when Fujin was learning the rules from her, and now I don't know what is going to happen!"
Bingxiang: "This is called a wave of ups and downs."
Xia'er asked Shuwan: "Fu Jin, do you still feel happy now?"
Shuwan squinted at her, little comrade, you are very courageous!She even learned my stalking skills, and made fun of me in turn!
Shuwan smirked at her, "Of course I'm happy! I've already thought of a way to deal with Nanny Ning. Xia'er! I think you have a very good bone, a clear mind, and a once-in-a-century genius. I've decided, It's up to you to deal with Nanny Ning!"
Xia Er: Fujin spare my life, I was wrong!
