Chapter 73: It's a mess
"Degrading?!" The old lady suddenly laughed, "Is it me who humiliated her, or is it she who humiliated herself? The second daughter of a general's mansion, she didn't learn anything good, but instead learned to bully others and children. Did she learn all the etiquette she learned from books over the years? "
"Ask her if she dares to tell others what she did?! People in our general's mansion should be upright even if they are not upright. But look at Shan Yu, what did she do?! "The old lady was really angry.
Shan Yu really breaks new records time and time again.
Song Qingci retreated to the old lady's side without leaving a trace, took her hand, and began to massage her acupuncture points to help her relieve the depression in her heart.
Fortunately, I took the Calming Pill before coming here.
She would have to make more preparations when she got back, as the Qi family would probably cause more trouble.
"He is just a child without status. What's wrong with hitting him a few times? At most, we can just pay him some more money. Yu'er is the second daughter of the general's mansion. How can she be beaten for this?"
It takes time to change a person's deep-rooted thoughts. Just like Qi's attitude towards class, it is impossible to change because of one or two things. But Qi has learned a little bit of wisdom, but just a little bit, nothing more.
She no longer used words like pariah and bastard, but the meaning behind her words was still the same.
After hearing what Qi said, the old lady felt like there was a hole in her heart, and air was leaking out.
She really regretted marrying such a daughter-in-law. She really shouldn't have just listened to the matchmaker's one-sided words, she should have done a thorough investigation. But it's too late to regret now, she can only think of other ways to make up for it. After all, she can't divorce her because of this.
"Where is the second son? Go find him for me." The old lady said this to Aunt Zhang.
Nanny Zhang had followed the old lady for almost her entire life, so she naturally understood what she meant. She took the order and walked out without saying a word.
As Nanny Zhang left, the room suddenly became quiet. Qi and Shan Yu were both quite flustered, not knowing why Shan Su was called back at this time. But one thing was for sure, it was definitely not a good thing for them.
"Grandma, take a few deep breaths and adjust your mood. This is good for your health." After pressing the acupuncture points on his hands, Song Qingci massaged the old lady's back and stimulated several acupuncture points on her back intentionally or unintentionally.
She completely ignored the Qi mother and daughter. The old lady's health was much more important than the mother and daughter.
The old lady obediently adjusted her breathing frequency according to Song Qingci's instructions, and indeed she felt much more relaxed.
My chest, which had been tense due to anger, now relaxed.
"Grandma, please relax. Some things are not worth your anger. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt." Song Qingci said in front of Qi's mother and daughter.
She didn't feel guilty at all. Who made the old lady so angry? If it weren't for her medicine, the old lady would probably be lying down by now.
Dan Li had just left, and his grandmother was already sick from anger. How would she explain it to him then?
Originally, she had already achieved her goal with Shan Su yesterday. Normally, the people from the second house would definitely keep this a secret. After all, it was not a glorious thing.
The servants who knew about this didn't dare to tell the old lady about it. It was a taboo to spread gossip and news in the mansion. If you were not careful, you would be sold out.
She had no intention of talking about this matter when she went to Jing'an Hall today. She was too disdainful to mention it again because it was already over.
Of course, if they didn't apologize or compensate in the end, that would be another matter. She didn't mind turning over the past chapter.
As a result, it was Qi himself who went and exposed it.
She also admired Qi. She, a new bride who had only been married for a few months, already knew the old lady's temper. She had been married for more than ten or twenty years, so how could she not know her mother-in-law at all?
After thinking about it, Song Qingci could only think of one possibility, that is, the old lady was too good a mother-in-law. She completely let her daughters-in-law go, never tortured them, and never set rules for them. That's why Qi was so naive.
Now, it’s screwed.
Shan Su was called back from the Imperial Guards camp by Nanny Zhang who sent a servant there.
The servant didn't say what it was, just that the old lady had invited him. When Aunt Zhang saw him, she didn't say what it was either.
It was not until he entered Zhixue Courtyard and saw his mother sitting in the front hall and his wife Qi sitting below with an unhappy look on her face that he had vaguely guessed why he was called back.
Shan Su first politely bowed to the old lady, then asked, "I wonder if my mother called me back to tell her something."
"Let me ask you, do you know what happened to Shan Yu yesterday?" After Song Qingci's counseling and massage, the old lady's anger had long since dissipated. Although her tone was calm now, it was oppressive.
Shan Su was shocked. He hadn't heard his mother speak in this tone for a long, long time.
"My son knows." Now that things have come to this, it would be a lie to pretend to be ignorant. Shan Su lowered his head, still thinking in his heart. How did the old lady know about this?
Given her temper, she must have been very angry.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Song Qingci standing aside unconsciously. Could it be that his niece-in-law said that? !
"Don't look at Ah Ci." Shan Su's little action did not escape the old lady's eyes. "It was not Ah Ci who told me this, but your wife Qi. "
Shan Su's eyes widened when he heard this. He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought of Qi.
He turned his head to look at Qi, his eyes full of disbelief.
Qi lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I called you back because I wanted to discuss a plan with you. Things have already happened. We can't just let it go without any explanation."
"Mother is right, son will listen to you."
"This is what I think. The mother and son of the Li family must go and apologize in person. Xiaoyuer is the son of Yunzhi's lifesaver. It is really unfair for him to suffer such injustice in our general's mansion. Not only the two of them, but even you should go together. I, an old woman, don't need to remind you how important Yunzhi is to our general's mansion. Xiaoyuer's father lost his life to save Yunzhi. We can't be ungrateful people."
