Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Chapter 3 Kneeling as punishment

The ancestral hall was cold and cold, and all the memorial tablets enshrined were ancestors. Su Lian did not suffer much in the ancestral hall. Mrs. Liu secretly sent food and quilts, and added thick cotton mats under the futon. Even so, her knees were still hurt after kneeling for a long time. very sour.

There was a noise at the door, and Su Lian hurriedly hid the bedding and food, and knelt on the futon in a polite manner.

The door was pushed open forcefully from the outside, and Ms. Liu was pushed in by the two women. She lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.

"Auntie, why are you here? Did Su Ying convince her father to let me out?" Su Lian stood up from the futon excitedly when she saw Mrs. Liu coming in.

"Lian'er, that little bitch Su Ying woke up. She told the master that you pushed her into the water. The master believed her. I argued a few words, and the master sent me to this ancestral hall for punishment indiscriminately. Kneel down." Ms. Liu looked angry and gritted her teeth when talking about Su Ying.

"Su Ying has always been stupid. She will turn on us at the slightest provocation. What did my aunt tell her?" Su Lian asked with a slight frown.

"It's strange to say that in the past, as long as I spoke about something, Su Ying would definitely follow my words. You also know that your father loves Su Ying the most. As long as Su Ying opens her mouth, she will follow my words. But this time But Su Ying insisted that you were the one who pushed her into the water." Ms. Liu thought of Su Ying's cold eyes when she looked at her, and she felt something was different in her heart.

"She lost her mother when she was a child, and she grew up under the pampering of her father. She has never even been out of the house. How can she know the tricks of the inner house? Don't worry, auntie, there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with her when we go out." Su Lian raised her head proudly and sneered.

"You have been a good thinker since you were a child, I believe you!" Mrs. Liu looked at her carefully trained daughter and nodded with satisfaction.

The ancestral hall was so quiet late at night that you could hear a pin drop.

Aunt Liu looked at the neatly arranged tablets and felt a little frightened. She bowed respectfully towards the tablets and murmured to herself: "The ancestors bless you, don't blame the ancestors."

Su Lian sneered at Aunt Liu's approach. She took out the hidden food, sat on the futon, and ate by herself.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew through, and several candles in the room were extinguished. Aunt Liu put her head in her hands and shouted: "I know I was wrong, don't come to me."

Su Lian looked at Aunt Liu with disgust and disdain in her eyes. She opened Aunt Liu's hands and said, "Auntie, there are only two of us in this ancestral hall. The wind blew out a few candles. What are you doing?" do what?"

Suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps, and the candlelight outside the door shone through the window lattice. Aunt Liu's eyes became more and more frightened. She stared at her eyes, pointed outside with trembling fingers, and shouted with trembling corners of her mouth: " Ghost...Ghost..."

Su Lian pushed away Aunt Liu who was lying on top of her, and suddenly opened the door. Chunlan's big face was magnified infinitely against the lantern. Even Su Lian was frightened by this unintentional scene and stepped back a few times. step.

"Chunlan, you damn girl, who are you trying to scare in the middle of the night?" Su Lian finally came to her senses and insulted Chunlan, losing all her previous reserve.

"Second Miss, this servant has been ordered by the eldest lady to take care of Aunt Liu and Second Miss." Chunlan put down the lantern placed next to her face, with a smile of success on her lips.

Su Lian tidied her clothes, raised her proud head and said, "Since my sister asked you to come, you should bring food. I'm hungry, so bring the food in first!"

Chunlan burst out laughing. She looked around the ancestral hall and saw a plate of unfinished pastries on the floor and a quilt on the futon. She waved to the maid behind her and said, "Second Miss and Liu My aunt was punished to kneel by the master's order. When did our prime minister's office change the rules, so that she can also bring bedding and food with her when she is punished to kneel? In order to show the sincerity of the eldest lady and Aunt Liu, I will give Aunt Liu and the second lady every day starting from tomorrow. Two meals will be given, a bowl of rice porridge for each person."

Su Lian's pretty face turned pale when she heard this. She pointed at Chunlan's nose and said angrily: "You...my eldest sister is kind-hearted and will definitely not let you demean our mother and daughter like this. When I go out, you will definitely Tell big sister in person."

Chunlan looked at Su Lian calmly and said: "The eldest lady is indeed kind-hearted, but her kindness is not blind. She knows that it was the second lady who pushed her into the water, but she has been sad for a long time. But it is the master who punishes you, and he insists on punishing you." As a punishment to you, the eldest lady is also ill now, so she is naturally helpless. The second lady should just stay in this ancestral hall and reflect!"

Chunlan looked at the two women standing by the door and said: "I am afraid that the two mothers are old and have forgotten the rules of this ancestral hall. What are you doing standing outside the door? Stand inside and guard it." Miss and aunt reflect on themselves, if I find you two hiding outside and lazing around again, I will definitely sell you out!"

When the two women saw Chunlan losing her temper, they quickly bowed their heads.

After Chunlan left, the two women stared at Su Lian and Aunt Liu with burning eyes. They took a nap for a while, and then the stick hit them mercilessly.

The two of them knelt all night and were so hungry the next day that they finally stayed up until the food was delivered. The two bowls of white porridge were crystal clear with a few grains of rice pops floating on them. Su Lian couldn't care less about whether they could eat it at this moment. Feeling full, I picked up the bowl of rice porridge and finished it in two mouthfuls.

That little soup made me very hungry. Within half an hour, my stomach began to growl again. In addition, they had to kneel down. The two of them had never suffered such a sin before, so they could only hold on, and finally managed to reach the third One day, Su Lian could no longer hold on and passed out in the ancestral hall.

The two women who were guarding did not dare to neglect. Although they had suffered, they were still the masters after all, so they had no choice but to inform the old lady.

When the old lady saw the two of them, she was shocked. She had obviously brought food and bedding, but why did the two of them look like they hadn't eaten in a few days? Their eye sockets were sunken, their bottoms were slightly blue, and their bodies were so thin. It hurts.

The old lady looked at the two women standing aside with cold eyes: "What's going on? Where are the food I gave you?"

The two ladies hurriedly knelt down and said, "My eldest brother... I ordered you not to let food come in. We didn't dare to touch your food at all. We put it in the side room."

The old lady slammed the crutch in her hand on the ground: "No one even listens to my words now?"

The two women hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Old madam, please forgive me, we dare not disobey the eldest master's order."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come here, take the second young lady and Aunt Liu back, and ask the doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment."

One of the two women timidly said: "Is there still half a day left in the three-day period? If the master asks me, how should I answer this slave? I would like to ask the old lady to tell you."

The old lady said coldly: "Then let him come to Songhe Garden to find me!"

These words were passed to Su Quan intact by the two mothers-in-law. There was no expression on Su Quan's face. He knew that in the eyes of the old lady, Aunt Liu and Su Lian had a much higher status than his son. The old lady was not Su Quan. Quan's biological mother, and Aunt Liu was indeed the old lady's niece. However, given the word of filial piety, Su Quan did not dare to disobey the old lady too much, so he complied with her wishes.
