The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 33 Able to bend and stretch

The old Duke wanted to teach them a lesson, and he did not hold back when he dealt them the ten blows.

In the end, the three brothers were carried away, and none of them stood up.

Shi Minghui was stubborn. He pushed away the people who came to help him, rolled up his pants and tied his belt by himself. Unfortunately, after climbing more than ten times, he was covered in snow and looked very miserable.

Shi Yao covered her eyes with her hands and saw three bloody and beaten buttocks through the gaps between her fingers.

Suddenly, when I recalled the scene of Shi Minghui beating Tian Zhi to death with a stick, I no longer felt that suffocating feeling for no reason.

I shouldn’t have any more nightmares tonight, right?

she thinks.

Is this what they call magic defeating magic?

The old Duke gave a ten-odd-sentence lecture, the main point of which was: A harmonious family brings prosperity, family disgrace should not be made public, prosperity is shared by all, adversity is shared by all, and each should consider his own situation carefully.

The children and grandchildren bowed respectfully, responded, and left.

At once everyone dispersed.

The men who were supposed to go to court went to court, those who were supposed to go to work went to work, and those who were supposed to go to school went to school. The little great-grandchildren were all held by their wet nurses and went back to catch up on their sleep.

Madam Zheng glanced at Shi Yao with a cold and disgusted look, and hurried back to see her two sons. The doctors had already been invited and were waiting in the front yard.

The third wife, Rong, had an indifferent look in her eyes. Even though the old duke had said that she had the responsibility to educate a concubine's daughter, she did not even give Shi Yao a glance.

The third master, Shi Jianan, pointed at Shi Yao from a distance, flicked his sleeves and left.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Shi Yao held the hand of the lady and walked slowly towards Ganlutang, with a guilty look on her face, "Yesterday, I heard from Sister Muxiang that grandma was not in good health. I came to visit grandma today, but because of me, grandma had to support me despite her illness. It's all my granddaughter's fault."

The lady was pleased and tapped Shi Yao's forehead: "You have a conscience. You know that I am here to support you."

The old Duke naturally heard the difference in Shi Yao's way of addressing her. Others called her Old Master, the First Madam, or the Third Master, but he only called the Madam Grandmother, which showed that she had already developed a sense of closeness or distance in her heart.

He smiled and asked, "Do you feel wronged that I punished you today?"

Shi Yao was of course aggrieved, but she couldn't say that. She smiled and said, "The old master has already done justice for me. He beat my brothers, so why should I feel aggrieved? I think my brothers will remember the lesson and won't dare to tease me again. The punishment was too light, because I was also at fault."

The old lady scolded, "Old man, please save some energy. Since Yao came to the capital, she has not had a peaceful day. She also fell seriously ill and no one supported her. When she went out of the house to burn incense, Mingwei... teased her and caused a death.

You didn't support her, but you wanted her to trust you wholeheartedly. In that situation, what else can Yao Yatou do except report the case to the government and seek justice? "

Chao Shenli said that Shi Yao was afraid to go back home to ask for help, so she was killed to silence her.

But these words were too hurtful, so the lady swallowed them.

Shi Yao's eyes were red, and she hugged the lady's arm tightly: "Grandmother is very considerate, and you can understand your granddaughter's thoughts. Before I came to the capital, I heard that the mansion favored girls very much. I didn't dare to compare with my elder sister, but my life must be better than my life in Jinling. But I didn't expect... I didn't expect that everyone seemed to dislike me, and... looked down on me.

When Nanny Tang came, she said that the Duke's Mansion was very disciplined and that if we followed the rules, we would not go wrong. Who would have thought that even the maids would bully me? I had to sleep with one eye open at night, fearing that someone would harm me.

Grandma, I want to go back to Jinling. Although my life is not as rich as this, I sleep well at night. There are not many servants, but none of them spits in the medicine or food, nor does anyone make a doll to curse the master, and even less dares to call on hooligans to destroy the innocence of a girl...

Grandma, can you send me back? Anyway, no one likes me, so I might as well go back to Jinling. What's the point of being rich and famous? I've gained some experience by going to Beijing, and I've also met the elders. It's worth being the daughter of the Shi family."

These words made the lady burst into tears.

"My dear little girl, how can you feel that no one likes you? At least grandma likes you. Grandma is not dead yet. There will be a place for you in this family."

She felt so sorry for Aunt Ji. She said she brought the child here to enjoy a good life, but ended up letting the child suffer like this.

Shi Mingwei's actions clearly pushed Shi Yao to death.

How can you be so cruel!

But they were so pretentious that they said Shi Yao was vicious for hurting people's eyes and faces.

Grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried.

Shi Yao couldn't cry at first. Thinking about the miserable days she had led, she couldn't sleep well at night and woke up at the slightest noise, just like an owl. She felt sad and couldn't help but cry.

The old Duke sighed and stuffed a handkerchief into his wife's hand: "Okay, okay, no one in the mansion dares to bully Yao girl."

Finally getting a promise, the old lady gradually stopped crying and burst into laughter: "Old man, you'd better keep your word. There are two vacancies for second-class maids in Yao girl's Guanju Courtyard. I have no one to fill them. You can decide for yourself."

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." The old Duke was helpless.

The eldest daughter-in-law's housekeeper's management was becoming more and more disorderly. She couldn't even pick out two good maids.

If it were Zhuzhu, Zheng wouldn't want to leave her without anyone to serve her for even half an hour.

He secretly glanced at Shi Yao who was wiping her tears, and thought to himself, this girl is flexible, can endure grievances, and is willing to sacrifice her reputation. Although she is a little vulgar, she is not completely heartless.

He is not afraid that his children and grandchildren are scheming, but he is afraid that they appear to be scheming but are actually fools. This is the misfortune of the family.

Shi Yao sent the lady back to Ganlu Hall, had breakfast with her, and then helped her lie down.

The lady gave Shi Yao a purse and spoke well of the old Duke: "Don't blame your grandfather for punishing you to kneel with your brothers. This has always been the case in our family. If brothers and sisters have a quarrel, no matter who is right or wrong, they will be punished and punished the same way.

Only by making no distinction between relatives and strangers can brothers be friendly and respectful. Those who make mistakes should reflect on their mistakes, and those who are wronged should also reflect on why others bully them and how to avoid being bullied. You are a girl, so your grandfather still held back. "

Shi Yao's eyes widened, she covered her mouth and cried out in shock: "Fortunately, Grandfather spared his blows, otherwise he would have asked me to take off my pants and be beaten with a stick. I would be so ashamed!"

The lady laughed out loud.

?

Shi Yao took care of the patient for a long time, just reading Buddhist scriptures and feeding him medicine, and returned to Guanju Courtyard in the afternoon.

The old Duke kept his promise and sent two second-class maids to serve as her personal maids. One was named Rendong and the other was named Xingmi.

In addition, a nanny was assigned to her and given the surname Shi. Shi Yao then called her Aunt Liu Hua.

Shi Yao gave them a few words of admonition, told them to do their job well, and then told them to go down, pull the embroidered curtain, take out the purse given by the lady, and open it, and see that there are five silver notes worth one thousand taels!

Shi Yao was overjoyed.

She guessed it was a banknote, but she never expected that there were five thousand taels!

The lady’s family is really wealthy!

If you squeeze it a little, you can make thousands or even tens of thousands of taels.
