Chapter 69: Scheming

"Jiu Yatou can also make hairpins. Come over and show grandma." Mrs. Cen smiled kindly.

Su Yiqing nodded and leaned her head over.

After this, Mrs. Cen frowned slightly, and there was a faint smell of mint. She disliked the smell of mint the most in her life. Everyone around her knew that everything in the house could not contain a little mint. Now

Did this Jiu Yatou do it on purpose?

Normally, Mrs. Cen would get angry and kick out this granddaughter who violated her taboo, but things are different now and she cannot do this.

Mrs. Cen’s mother, Mrs. Jin, was the best at watching her face. Although she was smiling, her brows were slightly wrinkled, so she knew that Mrs. Cen must have some dissatisfaction, but it was difficult to express it.

I paid attention to the surroundings, first looking at how the ladies were sitting and what they were wearing, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

But Madam Tai was fine earlier, and she became like this after Miss Ninth came. Could it be that there was something wrong with Miss Ninth? Although Miss Ninth’s clothes were plainer, there was nothing wrong with her. Could it be that Miss Ninth said

If so, Madam Tai is not willing to listen?

Mother Jin was puzzled.

The more Mrs. Cen tried to ignore the smell of mint, the more she couldn't ignore it. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but asked: "What spices are used on Jiu Yatou?"

Su Yiqing said: "Back to grandma, I only have a purse with me, and there are no spices in it."

"Is Jiu Yatou thinking that grandma is old and teasing her on purpose?" Mrs. Cen asked forcefully and said with a straight face, "It smells like mint."

When Su Yiqing saw Mrs. Cen's serious face, she immediately made a frightened look and said: "Grandma, don't be angry. It was probably the medicinal oil that the imperial doctor gave to my granddaughter to calm her nerves. My granddaughter didn't mean to... make you angry, please don't

angry."

Su Yiqing's frightened look after being scolded shocked the whole room. All the maids and ladies lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Mrs. Cen was stunned. She was pretending to be angry. When she used this trick in the past, the other granddaughters

Just act coquettishly to please her, and the grandfather and grandson will become closer together. With the maid and mother-in-law making jokes, the atmosphere will be even more lively.

But now Su Yiqing took it seriously. The atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Silly boy, grandma is joking with you. Grandma is not angry." Mrs. Cen was annoyed. This granddaughter still made her so angry, but she had to cheer up and give her a step back.

"Thank you, grandma." Su Yiqing did not go down the steps. She was still frightened and moved back, a little further away from Mrs. Cen.

Mrs. Cen's face completely froze, and she still managed to maintain a smile. Her appearance was really weird.

Jin's mother quickly smoothed things over: "Miss Ninth is probably tired. It's so pitiful. She was frightened not long ago. Madam, it's time to go to the temple to pray for Miss Ninth and perform a ritual ceremony."

"Yes, yes. The last time I saw a mouse, I was frightened for a few days. Miss Ninth is delicate and expensive, so it's right for her to still be frightened." Lingye, the most favored maid in front of the concubine, also laughed.

He said.

After being interrupted by these two people, Mrs. Cen regained her composure and followed the words: "In that case, grandma will take Jiu Yatou to Qingxin Temple to offer incense someday."

When Su Yiqing mentioned Qingxin Temple, she lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Mrs. Cen then remembered that Su Yiqing was tricked by the maid of the Cen family when she went to Qingxin Temple to offer incense. She suddenly felt a little embarrassed on her face. She had already said the words. If she changed her words immediately, it would be even more guilty, so she had to pretend not to know.

, said: "I'm tired too, you all should step aside."

The girls all knelt down and bowed before leaving.

After the girls resigned, Mrs. Cen immediately dismissed the servants around her, leaving only Mother Jin waiting in front of her. Her face was twisted and she said: "This damn girl is always against me. Let's see how long she can keep pretending."

Mother Jin knew that Mrs. Cen was very angry. Normally, she would either turn around and say a few words of comfort to make Mrs. Cen feel more at ease, or she could just follow Mrs. Cen's words and let her vent her anger.

She knew Mrs. Cen's temper, that is to say, even if she just said it, even if she followed her words and echoed a few words, she would not do anything when she got angry.

But she has no such intention at all now.

Miss Ninth is obviously still resenting Mrs. Cen for driving her to Baiyun Nunnery. At such an age, she is able to follow Mrs. Cen. As Mrs. Cen’s confidant, she relies on being clever and careful.

And don't offend anyone. These people are all masters. Even if you are in trouble for a while, there is no guarantee that you will not get up again one day, just like the fate of several ladies in the house.

It is right to say that young people should not be bullied when they are poor. In addition, old people should not be bullied either. Just like the third lady and the third master, they themselves are incapable, but if they try hard enough, they can still produce a ninth lady.

She couldn't understand Miss Ninth a few years ago, and she still can't understand her now. She doesn't know what Miss Ninth is begging for or what she wants. I heard that last time General Zhao visited Miss Ninth, Miss Ninth's face was pale.

, I don’t know what I said to General Zhao to make General Zhao leave with a dark face.

The eldest and second masters continued to worry for a while, but then turned around and General Zhao sent a bunch of gifts to Miss Ninth. The person who gave the gifts was very humble, and many of the medicines were suitable for young girls to take care of their bodies.

There are some good antidote to snake venom, which the celebrity gave to Xin'er. From this, it can be seen that General Zhao and Miss Jiu are very attentive and not just perfunctory.

Although Mother Jin has lived this long, she does not easily believe that General Zhao fell in love with Miss Ninth at first sight and has a soft spot for Miss Ninth. However, whether it is true or not, since General Zhao is willing to show it to others, it is for Miss Ninth.

Decent.

Her daughter sent her a letter a few days ago, saying that although her son-in-law has become a seventh-rank official, he still has not been able to move his position for several years. He has not been promoted or demoted. Bandits and bandits are rampant in that area. It is very uneven. If he can move it,

Just ask her if she can think of a way.

What can she do? She has to rely on Mrs. Cen, and Mrs. Cen becomes more and more confused as she gets older. When several young ladies got married, they spent most of her dowry and the private money accumulated over the years, and divided the family and the money of several gentlemen.

Not only did they not hand it over, they also found ways to cry for poverty, especially for the third master. In the past, it was nothing to eat from the public house. Now after the separation of the family, the little things given to the third bedroom are not enough for the third master to live a romantic life.

I went to Mrs. Cen and cried.

When she cried once, Mrs. Cen would give her a little, so that the other houses would have opinions. Mrs. Cen would not give her any money, so there would be no one willing to be sincerely filial to her and please her. There would only be a few destitute concubines who would fawn over her.

However, Mrs. Cen didn't notice it at all. She also tried to persuade her tactfully, but she was old and stubborn and refused to listen to others' advice, so she had no choice but to give up. Bielilao was disliked by the Mrs. and was kicked out.

At that time, she relied on her dignity in front of the dowager to get her uncle to say a word and let her son-in-law, who had been elected for many years but could not find a vacancy, find a real vacancy. He was sent to work as a county magistrate, although it was a remote place.

It was a small place, but it was better than many people. After so many years, the son-in-law did not get any other benefits, although the daughter kept telling her that she was doing well.

But she knew that her daughter was just comforting her, so what if she had a son? Her son-in-law was so good at specializing in business that he was so cruel that he asked to marry a servant's daughter because he wanted to get help in his career. If she

Being kicked out, without this dignity, it is possible for my daughter to be left out in the cold...

"I gave her so much dowry, but she treated me like this. I'm really a white-eyed wolf. Mother Jin, you want me to take back the dowry and see what she does? Okay?"

Mrs. Cen’s words instantly interrupted Mother Jin’s thoughts.

"Mrs. Cen absolutely cannot do this." Mother Jin was startled. Although she knew that these were probably Mrs. Cen's angry words, she was really afraid that Mrs. Cen would use these words to scare Miss Jiu. With Miss Jiu's temperament, she was so petty.

Even after being treated coldly several times at a young age and even being sent to Baiyun Nunnery, she did not lower her head. Now she will not be threatened. It will be difficult for the Dowager Madam to step down.

Of course, Mrs. Cen was not so confused. She also knew that this was not possible. In other words, she was just talking, or she wanted to use the servant's mouth to let some news out, so that Su Yiqing would be afraid and bow her head to her. Then she

He said that there was no such thing, and that he would just punish a few talkative slaves.

Mother Jin's lack of cooperation made her a little angry. Originally, Mother Jin knew her thoughts best, but now it seems that Mother Jin is just like Su Yiqing. She can't distinguish the truth from falsehood in her words, which makes her very disappointed. Maybe Mother Jin is old.

If you are not as smart as a young man, you would have known that you should have left Ling Ye alone just now...

On the other side, on the way out together, Su Yixian and Su Yiya did not have access to Su Yiqing because they lived in the Taifu's courtyard, but Su Yixi followed her at the nanny's prompt, clumsily trying to please Su Yiqing.

Su Yiqing felt a little impatient, but also felt a little pity for her, so she asked her to follow her. Even when she got to her yard, she couldn't drive her away, so she simply invited her in for a cup of tea before leaving.

When Su Yiqing was not aware of it, her unintentional move caused a great change in Su Yixi's status.

Mrs. Qu, who had been paying close attention to Su Yiqing's every move, immediately figured out that she, the eldest aunt, was not very close to the third room in the past. Although she had supported Su Yiqing for a while, her relationship had long since been sent to Baiyun Nunnery.

Time has passed away.

As an elder, it was difficult for her to completely put aside her status to please a junior. Secondly, everyone was staring at her. As soon as she went to the third room, Mrs. Jiang would definitely follow her, so she never got to be alone with Su Yiqing.

Opportunity, let alone flattery.

Now that Su Yixi can talk to Su Yiqing, many things can be done through her. After all, the relationship between Su Yiqing and her sisters was very weak in the past. I have never heard of her inviting anyone to sit in her yard. Now

For Su Yixi to receive this honor, Su Yiqing must have had special regard for him. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
