Chapter Thirty-Six: She is soft-tempered and easily bullied
"Yan'er, have you been bullied during the time when grandma was away?"
Xin Nianyan was stunned for a moment, carefully glanced at Zhang Yunhui and Xin Rou'er who were following them, and said with a sad smile: "No, grandma, Yan'er was not bullied."
The old lady saw her reaction in her eyes and her expression turned cold: "Then what's wrong with your forehead?"
"This..." Xin Nianyan froze for a moment and said quickly: "Yan'er accidentally dropped it. It's nothing serious, grandma. Don't worry."
"Is this really true?" The old lady didn't really believe it.
Xin Nianyan nodded: "Well, that's true."
Xin Rouer's eyes moved, and she said distressedly: "Yes, grandma, my sister didn't know what happened at the time, so she fell from the second floor of Baiyun Restaurant. Many people saw it, and she even fainted after the fall.
Woolen cloth."
She deliberately mentioned that many people had seen it, and wanted the old lady to know how much face Xin Nianyan had lost.
As the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xin Nianyan represents not only herself, but also the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
If she loses face, it means the Prime Minister's Palace loses face.
The old lady cares about face the most, so I don't believe she won't be angry.
Sure enough, the old lady's face turned a bit darker.
Xin Rouer felt happy and waited to see Xin Nianyan being scolded.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xin took Xin Nianyan's hand and said distressedly: "You fell from the second floor of Baiyun Restaurant. How could you be so careless? No wonder your face is so pale. Is the injury on your forehead serious?"
Xin Rouer was stunned.
how so?
Why doesn't grandma blame her?
Doesn’t grandma love face the most?
Once, she accidentally caused embarrassment outside, which caused many people to laugh at her. When the old lady found out, she banned her for half a month.
Now that Xin Nianyan had lost such face in front of so many people, the old lady not only refused to punish her, but even asked her if she was okay.
Xin Rouer only felt that the whole world had betrayed her, and she was full of grievances and had nowhere to say anything.
Why, why would the old lady be so partial to Xin Nianyan?
She is obviously the granddaughter who has lived with her since childhood.
Xin Nianyan is just a wild girl who has just come back less than two years ago. Why should she be so partial to her?
Sensing Xin Rouer's emotional changes and fearing that she would say something she shouldn't, Zhang Yunhui quickly held her hand and signaled her to calm down.
The corners of Xin Nianyan's mouth raised and he responded obediently: "Grandma, Yan'er is fine. It was an accident. He was pushed over there by the two maids beside him, and he fell down for some reason."
The old lady immediately had a serious face: "Really, what's going on with those two maids now? As maids, if they don't serve their master properly, they dare to instigate the master to run around!"
Because she heard Xin Nianyan specifically mention those two maids, she felt that it was those two maids' fault.
Thinking that the maids in Yanyun Court were all sent by Zhang Yunhui, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yunhui, and the displeasure in her eyes was even worse.
"How do you do things? This untrained maid dares to send you to Yan'er. Don't you know that she has a weak temper and is easily bullied?"
Zhang Yunhui's eyelids twitched, and she didn't expect that she could be blamed for this.
Although she was resentful in her heart, she still had to suppress her temper and said: "What my mother taught me was that I was negligent. I chose the maids in a hurry and didn't have time to train them. When I go back later, I will call them to train them."
."
The old lady snorted coldly and then said nothing more.
After a few more words of concern for Xin Nianyan, the servants came to tell them that lunch was ready and asked the masters if they wanted to prepare a meal.
The old lady couldn't help but look at the door and asked, "Isn't the prime minister back yet? What time has it been?"
"She should be back soon. I knew my mother would be back today, and I reminded him to come back for lunch in the morning." Zhang Yunhui said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Yuanwen strode in.
Seeing her son, the smile on the old lady's face widened: "I'm back, come on, come and warm yourself by the fire, it's so cold outside, you might be freezing."
Xin Yuanwen walked to the charcoal basin and sat down, and asked with concern: "Mom, the journey back went smoothly."
The old lady nodded: "Well, it went very smoothly."
Xin Yuanwen asked again: "Are you feeling better?"
"It's better. The Qingxin Temple is indeed a place where eminent monks live. I went there to live for half a month. Not only did my illness heal, but my body and bones felt stronger than before." The old lady said with emotion.
"That's good. As long as the mother can get better, the son will be relieved." Xin Yuanwen said.
The old lady laughed and said, "Let's not talk about that anymore. You are already hungry. Let's go have lunch first."
Since Xin Yuanwen came back, the old lady's attention has completely shifted away from Xin Nianyan. Xin Nianyan just sat aside obediently. At this time, she took the initiative to help the old lady and walked to the dining room.
Others also got up and followed.
Seeing Xin Nianyan and the old lady being so close, Xin Rouer couldn't help but squeeze the hand under her sleeve.
As soon as the group of people sat down, Xin Rouer suddenly mentioned: "By the way, last time my father said that my sister should stay in the hospital to recover from her injuries. Judging from my sister's injuries, it seems that she hasn't recovered yet."
Xin Yuanwen said last time that Xin Nianyan should stay in the yard and not go anywhere without his order.
At first Xin Yuanwen had forgotten about it, but Xin Nianyan went to the Duke's Mansion within two days. Because there were so many things, he didn't even think about it.
Now that Xin Rou'er mentioned it like this, he remembered that he had ordered Xin Nianyan not to leave Yanyun Courtyard.
She had just gone to the Duke's Mansion, but now she was still wandering around carelessly. Xin Yuanwen suddenly felt that his majesty had been challenged, and felt that Xin Nianyan didn't even listen to his own words.
Putting down the chopsticks he had just picked up with a snap, Xin Yuanwen said with a straight face: "Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to go anywhere until you are healed? You didn't take my words seriously, did you?"
The smile in Xin Rouer's eyes flashed, and she explained in a hurry: "Father, don't be angry. I think my sister didn't disobey her father on purpose. Although she didn't go through her father's permission when she went to the Duke's Mansion,
I agree, but my sister probably forgot, and she probably came out to pick up my grandmother today."
Xin Nianyan sneered in her heart, Xin Rouer's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, Xin Yuanwen's face darkened a bit. Before he opened his mouth to speak, Xin Nianyan took the lead and said: "Father, it's not that my daughter didn't want to tell her father when she went to the Duke's Mansion. She asked Xiaozhu to apply to her father, but at that time
Father is in the study with mother..."
Xin Nianyan paused and glanced at Zhang Yunhui subconsciously.
As soon as these words came out, the old lady slapped her chopsticks and said with a sullen face: "The study is the place where you work. As a housewife, you have nothing to do, right? You hook up with your man in the study in broad daylight!"
