Chapter 325 Fan Tongshu reprimanded
Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a trace of depression, and he felt that this matter was reasonable.
The queen whispered a few words to the nanny, and the nanny immediately went over to say a few words to Zhong Mianmian.
Zhong Mianmian obediently stood up and walked to the queen to salute.
When Qi Yuwan saw this scene, she was so jealous that she cut off her fingernails. She could no longer maintain the pitiful look on her face. Why? Why was she reprimanded by the Queen in public, and Zhong Mianmian was treated gently by the Queen? It was clear that both of their mothers were legitimate daughters of the Fan family, so why were they treated so differently? She refuses to accept it!
The queen here asked Zhong Mianmian a few questions. Seeing that she was generous and measured in her advances and retreats, she became more and more admiring. She couldn't help but make a few remarks, "I don't want to talk about people's right and wrong, but your parents and family are not around to take care of you. I still want to remind you of some things.
Although your mother is the eldest daughter of the Fan family, she was raised in the house of the old lady of the Fan family when she was born. She did not have a deep relationship with your grandmother, so your grandmother favored her younger daughter, the one from the Qi family.
Although the two sisters share the same mother, they have not been close since they were children. Your grandmother has a high spirit and has always been dissatisfied with the old lady of the Fan family. She has to compete with her to raise children. She has asked the Qi family to compare with your mother since she was a child. That one was also raised crookedly by your grandmother.
I am telling you these old things because the daughter of the Qi family has also come to the capital this time. With your grandmother's unpredictable temper, she is very likely to cause trouble for you. The word "filial piety" is suppressed. No matter how reasonable you are, you can't avoid it. The best way is to go home quickly and don't stay in the capital for a long time. "
Zhong Mianmian did not expect that the queen would care about her so much and say so much. She immediately knelt down gratefully and kowtowed to the queen, "Mianmian, remember, Mianmian will leave the capital when the flower viewing banquet is over."
Jiang Ning followed and said: "Queen, don't worry. The emperor has rewarded me with several Zhuangzi. When I return, I will ask Mianmian to move to the Zhuangzi. She will tell the public that she has something urgent at home and will leave first. When I leave for Quzhou Mansion, Pick her up again.”
The ladies and ladies in the garden were all attracted by the jewelry box.
Princess Yongyang generously let her keep it, "I have a lot of things. I just have a jewelry box for you to play with. When you return to Quzhou Mansion, if you get anything good, don't forget to leave it for me." One serving.”
Princess Yongyang was in a good mood. After chatting with Zhong Mianmian, she immediately turned her attention to Yang Xiaohua, and the four little girls soon started playing together.
The queen smiled and said, "You have always been successful, so I have nothing to worry about if this child follows you."
Zhong Mianmian kowtowed to the queen again obediently, and left with the jewelry box in her arms.
“Definitely!” Zhong Mianmian responded solemnly.
“Princess, this hairpin is so beautiful!” Zhong Mianmian’s big moist eyes were full of joy.
“That” Zhong Mianmian was a little embarrassed looking at things.
The queen said a few words to the nanny next to her, and soon the nanny brought over a double-layered wood-carved white jade jewelry box.
Princess Yongyang stepped forward excitedly, opened it for her, took out a gold butterfly hairpin inlaid with precious stones and inserted it into Zhong Mianmian's head. She laughed happily, "It looks good! This is what a daughter of a noble family should wear."
Princess Yongyang was even more proud, "Most of the things in this jewelry box belong to me, how can it not be beautiful?"
Princess Yongyang hurriedly urged Zhong Mianmian to express her gratitude.
The queen smiled and said to Zhong Mianmian: "I left the palace in a hurry today, and I didn't expect to see your child again. This box is something I always take with me when I leave the palace. Please keep it well!"
Coupled with Princess Longyue's intention to make friends, the atmosphere here is rarely harmonious and joyful.
Qi Yuwan was angry and cried at this scene.
Shi Shi only thought that she was feeling uncomfortable because she had just been scolded by the Queen, and patted the back of her hand comfortingly, with a gloomy look on her face. After the flower viewing banquet, Mr. Shi left immediately with his daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson.
As soon as the group of people entered the house, the housekeeper came forward in a panic and said, "Old madam, I'm waiting in the front hall."
Shi's expression changed, he paused in his steps, nodded slightly with the housekeeper, and asked in a low voice: "What did the master say?"
The steward shook his head and said, "The master has said no more than three sentences since he came back."
Shi Shi knew immediately why Fan Tongshu was waiting for her, and she wanted to escape.
Mrs. Pei noticed her intention and immediately raised her voice, "Mom, dad is already waiting for us, so let's go in quickly!"
Shi Shi was furious and glared at Pei Shi fiercely, as if he wanted to eat someone.
Mrs. Pei held her chest in fear, with an innocent look on her face, "Mother, what do you think of me like that?"
“Come in!” Fan Tongshu’s calm voice was calm and not intimidating. Shi Shi had to lead everyone in obediently even if he didn’t want to.
"Why did you suddenly come back so early today?" Shi felt guilty and sat down beside Fan Tongshu.
Fan Tongshu picked up the tea cup without haste, took a sip, and suddenly slammed the tea cup to the ground, causing the splashed debris to fall on Pei's face.
Ms. Pei screamed and subconsciously touched her face. When she lowered her head and saw blood on her hands, she immediately panicked, "What happened to my face?"
Fan Zhiren shouted outside the house, "Are all the people here dead? The eldest lady is injured!"
Fan Tongshu stared at Fan Zhiren with scarlet eyes, "What are you in a hurry for?"
"Dad?" Fan Zhiren was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly defended, "My son is just worried about Mr. Pei."
"Worried? Why didn't you see you worried when she embarrassed the Fan family so much? Now that she has only scratched her skin, you know you are worried!" Fan Tongshu had a sarcastic look on his face, and his eyes were full of disappointment and dissatisfaction with his eldest son.
Fan Zhiren's expression turned green and white, "Dad, it is indeed Pei who did something wrong today. My son will admit her mistake for her."
Shi followed Fan Zhiren's words and said, "Sir, I made a mistake too. I will go back with you and reflect on it."
Mrs. Pei was already angry when her face was hurt, but now she heard the mother and son put the main fault on her, she immediately quit, got up angrily, with an accusatory look on her face, "What does today's matter have to do with me? Where am I?" Didn’t do it right?”
Fan Zhiren's face turned pale and he kept winking at Mr. Pei.
Mrs. Pei ignored her and continued to make a fuss, "It was obvious that my mother wanted to plot against the Huang family and spread the news about the engagement between the Qi family and the Huang family through the flower viewing party, so that the Huang family suffered a loss and had to agree to the marriage.
I didn’t say a word from beginning to end. It was Qi Yuyan who wanted the marriage, Qi Yuwan was the cause of the disaster, the idea was the mother’s, but it ended up in your mouth. Did I do something wrong? Am I, Pei Xianglian, that mean? If anything happens, I'll be the one to take care of it! "
The more he talked about Mrs. Pei, the more wronged he became and the more he cried.
Seeing that there was no room for change, Fan Zhiren became angry and asked, "Do you dare to say that you have no selfish motives in reprimanding Mianmian in front of the Queen?"
