37 Threat
"What's the matter with Xie's mother?" Tan Zichen looked at the chaotic scene, instead of asking Lin Chuqian, she asked Xie's mother directly, her tone was gentle but a little impatient.

It looked as if she was resting, and the wild cats and dogs from nowhere disturbed her.

"Ma'am." Mother Xie lowered her head respectfully, and glanced at Lin Chuqian's mother and son. "It's Aunt Bai who rushed in regardless, insisting on taking the fourth young master away."

Four young masters?
Tan Zichen didn't like this title very much, she felt that no one in this mansion could be worthy of the title of Young Master of He Mansion except her Bai'er.

She turned her head and her eyes fell on Lin Chuqian. She saw the rough linen clothes on her body and the gutters on her face. The charming and charming woman back then had long since disappeared. "Why did Aunt Bai trespass?"

"Ma'am misunderstood." Lin Chuqian straightened her back and said with a faint smile, "I didn't mean to trespass, it's just that Mama Xie stopped me from taking Sheng'er home, just because I was in a hurry."

Since Tan Zishen likes to put on airs, she is happy to cooperate. Both of them have smiles on their faces, and neither of them looked away quietly at each other.

At this time, Lin Chuqian thought, even if she blinked her eyes, she would lose.

"Aunt Bai doesn't know something. The fourth young master stole a plate of pastries in the kitchen today." Mama Xie suddenly stepped forward at this time. "It wasn't a big deal, it was just a plate of pastries, and the fourth young master ate it whenever he wanted. But when the old slave asked, the fourth young master refused to admit it. Stealing is one thing, but lying is another After Madam heard about it, she was worried that the fourth young master would go astray after being so inferior at such a young age, so she wanted to discipline him a little bit, and wanted to punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night to improve his memory."

"Stealing pastries?" Lin Chuqian turned her head, raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with eyes.

Sheng'er shook her head, and replied in a low voice, "I haven't."

"No?" Mother Xie's voice suddenly rose, she approached Sheng'er and sneered, "Fourth young master still doesn't admit it? This old slave found the cake in your arms."

Sheng'er clenched her fists, and angrily met Xie's mother's fearful eyes. "That pastry was given to me by my mother a few days ago, not from the kitchen."

Lin Chuqian narrowed her eyes and suddenly understood the ins and outs of the matter. It is estimated that Xie's mother saw him eating the cakes and decided that he stole the cakes, and she just took the opportunity to get angry.

She sneered. "I didn't expect that in this mansion, a young master could be punished for a few pieces of pastries."

Tan Zichen ignored her ridicule, she sat gracefully on the chair, squinted at Lin Chuqian from the corner of her eyes, and said flatly, "Whether to be punished or not, naturally I have the final say."

Lin Chuqian's violent temper suddenly rose. What Tan Zichen meant was that she didn't care about the cakes, but she wanted to punish Sheng'er, it was as simple as that.

Mother Xie was a little proud of hearing this, and stepped forward to add another sentence. "Aunt Bai, you should go back to your yard and wait. After the Fourth Young Master is punished, the old slave will send him back."

How stupid she must be to believe her mother's nonsense!

Lin Chuqian stood in front of Sheng'er without giving in, raising her head not to be outdone. "Madam is the mother of the family. If Sheng'er is punished indiscriminately, if it gets out, it may damage Madam's reputation."

The corners of Tan Zichen's lips curled into a slight smile, which made people feel inexplicable. "You threatened me?"

"Madam misunderstood." Lin Chuqian smiled. "I just reminded Madam."

For many years, Tan Zishen seemed to have managed He Rencheng's backyard in an orderly manner, but how much blood was buried under the calm, just Aunt Ye who died suddenly of illness, and Bai Jingjing.

It was all done by Tan Zichen in private, and in the eyes of the servants in the mansion, Tan Zichen was just a prestigious lady, because she pretended to be magnanimous and lenient, and she was kind enough to make the servants dare not easily surpass her. According to offend.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tan Zichen is indeed a most virtuous woman. He Rencheng wandered into several concubines, and Aunt Liu, the most favored among them, showed off everywhere outside. Not only was she not angry in the main room, but If we meet, we can still act out sisterly love.

What do these signs indicate?
It shows that Tan Zishen attaches great importance to reputation.
