The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Shi Yao didn't care how dark Zheng's face was. She and Zheng had offended each other anyway, so she knelt down and hugged the lady's legs, crying out of breath:

"Old lady, my second sister-in-law was the first to complain! She was the one who broke into my yard first, shouting and calling for killing. I just thought she wanted to kill me for my second brother. There were few people in my yard, so I asked people to fight back.

And my second brother is sick, what does it have to do with me? It was the old man who ordered him to leave the house and parade with me, so that I could play the role of a loving brother and sister and wash away his bad reputation of hiring a killer to kill his sister! Yesterday I persuaded him several times to go back home and stop forcing himself, but he was afraid of the old man's majesty and refused several times, and refused to come back first. If you don't believe me, ask my third brother!

The second sister-in-law resented the old man for being cruel. He beat and scolded me and killed the chicken to show it to the monkey, the old man!

"Aunt! Please don't be so sarcastic and say that I can't get married. My second sister-in-law, who smashed my aunt's boudoir, insulted and beat my aunt, is married to someone, so why can't I get married?"

Shi Yao had prepared a script in her mind long ago, and she spoke this series of words with great emotion and tears without taking a break.

Zheng was so angry that her heart ached. She clenched her fists and couldn't help but lightly hit the tea table beside her.

Le Anning was so angry that she almost collapsed!

What do you mean she's married?

Is she so unpresentable in Shi Yao's eyes?

How can Shi Yao compare with her?

She also crawled to the old lady's legs, but before she could hug the old lady's other leg, Shi Yao kicked her butt and pushed her to the side.

The lady was just feeling angry and sad, but when she saw this, a smile flashed across her lips.

Shi Yao cried, "Second sister-in-law, my aunt is partial to you, you should go and cling to her. If that doesn't work, you can go back and cling to my second brother. My grandmother is the only one who loves me, do you want to compete with me? I don't ask my grandmother to be partial to you, but I ask for justice!"

No matter where you go, there is no precedent of a good sister-in-law bullying her younger sister-in-law! You keep calling me a young woman and a country bitch. You break into my yard and beat my maids and servants. You are just like the vicious sister-in-law in the opera! If a lady from a noble family is like you, I would rather be a country bitch!

Grandmother, please make the decision for me. I feel so wronged. Yesterday, I ran around to help my brothers clear their bad reputation of killing their sister. I got two blisters on my feet. In order for my eldest brother to take my eldest sister-in-law home, I gave advice and knocked on the door. I helped my eldest brother knock on the door without caring about my appearance. My hands were numb from knocking and my voice was hoarse from shouting. Finally, I got my eldest sister-in-law back.

It would be fine if my aunt didn't remember my contribution, but she should at least remember my hard work. How could she repay kindness with enmity, add insult to injury, and call me uneducated? My aunt's words and actions chilled my heart. From now on, if my brothers need help from me, I will not dare to lend a hand. "

Every word he said was directed at the Zheng mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Zheng's eyes were full of stars, and she felt humiliated. She clasped the armrests of the chair tightly with both hands, steadied herself, and said coldly:

"You are really clever and eloquent, and you have a very clever tongue! If it weren't for you, how could the brothers have gotten sick?"

Shi Yao sobbed, "Aunt, do you have to quibble? It was the old master who ordered them to leave the house with me. What can I do? Can I stop the old master, or can I stop the northwest wind blowing in the winter in the capital?

Besides, it's not my fault that my elder brother got sick from the cold. If you want to blame someone, blame the Fu family! It wasn't me who asked my elder brother to bare his arms and kneel down to beg his wife to go back to her husband's house! Later, my third brother and his friends followed suit, and it was my elder brother who nodded.

You don't blame the old man, the Fu family, or your elder brother, but you blame me for your brothers' illness. Aunt, you are really biased, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and unreasonable!"

Le Anning trembled.

It's over, it's over!

The mother-in-law has lost so much face, she must hate her!

Zheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes: "Old lady, listen to this. Have you ever seen a young man scolding his elders like this? I don't know what sin I have committed to deserve such humiliation!"

Shi Yao also cried, her voice was sad and miserable, "Grandmother, please say something fair. My second brother, seventh brother, and eighth brother wanted to kill me, my second sister-in-law and eldest aunt humiliated me, I endured the humiliation and worked hard to clear their names, but now I have been splashed with dirty water.

Before I came to the capital, they said that you brought me here to enjoy life, and that the Duke's Mansion was very particular about rules... I am not here to enjoy life, and I have never seen any rules."

After saying this, she buried her face in the lady’s knees, her delicate body trembling.

Zheng's crying was choked.

Le Anning was also sad because of fear. She hated herself for not having a smart mouth. She could neither interrupt nor refute.

Maids and servants were kneeling outside in the yard, crying, and the sound of the northwest wind was desolate and sad.

At this point it was no longer a conflict between Shi Yao and Le An Ning, but a confrontation between Shi Yao and the mistress of the house.

But it depends on who the most distinguished lady of the Duke's Mansion favors.

After a long time, Shi Yao's tears were almost dry. When she could no longer act, the lady finally sighed, gently stroked the top of Shi Yao's head, and asked:

"Mingzhen, did your second sister urge your second brother to return home yesterday?"

Shi Mingzhen was just sitting there silently, but when his name was suddenly called, he looked at his aunt, then at Shi Yao, stood up, bowed, and nodded:

"Yes, my second sister asked more than once. Almost every time she changed places, she would ask once or twice, urging my second brother to return home. But my second brother was stubborn and refused to go against grandfather's will. He insisted on returning with everyone until the evening."

The lady then asked, "You brothers are asking for forgiveness, but it was your second sister who came up with the idea, but was it your eldest brother who agreed to it?"

Shi Mingzhen was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It was indeed my second sister who came up with the idea. Although my eldest brother did not nod his head, my second sister asked him. If he did not agree with us brothers to do this, he should just shake his head or say no. My eldest brother neither shook his head nor said no."

The lady looked at Zheng with disappointment.

Zheng felt guilty. Even though she was confident and thick-skinned, she couldn't stand being stared at for a long time. She held on for a while, then knelt on the ground, suppressing her shame and said:

"It was because my daughter-in-law saw Mingwei was so ill that she was extremely worried. She was blinded by one thing and did not seek the truth. She spoke without thinking and wrongly accused the second girl. I ask the old lady to punish her."

The lady said quietly, "Everyone has selfish desires. Zheng, you are really too selfish. You also have a daughter. You are also a daughter and a daughter-in-law. You know how important a clean reputation is to your daughter, but you just listen to one side and throw dirty water on your niece.

What you saw and heard was that Mingwei's wife was the one who found fault first. She was at fault, but she kept saying that Yao girl was uneducated. Don't you know who is uneducated? "
