C28 What a Sin!

When the old mistress came, Mrs. Xue was instructing the steward to carry out the family rules, hitting thirty big boards each. Dozens of strong and robust attendant pulled up his wife who was kneeling on the floor and pressed her down on the bench.

"Madam …" "Your servant also loves her very much …"

"Madam …"

Just as the courtyard was in an uproar, the old mistress, supported by two maidservants, walked in using her walking stick and shouted, "What are you all making a fuss about?"

At this moment, Zi Zhu's mother and the other wives acted as if they had seen a buddha and cried out 'madame' with incomparable misery.

Mrs. Xue's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but she did not dare hold Qiao Qiao's hand. She put on a smile and quickly walked over to the madame to greet her. "Mother, how did you get out in the middle of the night?" What if the wind blew? Which dog of a slave has come to disturb you in the middle of the night? " To let her know which cheap hoof was the source of the news, he had to skin her alive.

The old mistress replied snappily, "Why are you sleeping in this noisy backyard?"

The corner of Mrs. Xue's mouth twitched. She thought to herself: Your Buddhist temple and Wu Heng Academy, even if you were to light a firecracker, the sound would definitely not be transmitted over. Who are you trying to bluff?

She pressed the corner of her lips with the handkerchief and reached out to support the old lady's arm. "Mother, these few wives are causing trouble. My wife is busy cleaning up the mess. Why don't you go back first?"

The madame brushed her hand away and went to the only chair in the courtyard and sat down. "Who says what happened? "Although this old woman doesn't care anymore, she can't just sit by and watch the house fall into chaos!"

No one dared to make a sound. The servant girls only glanced at Mrs. Xue from the corner of their eyes. After all, everyone knew who was in charge. The fate of those who were in the wrong team had already been explained previously.

The old mistress smacked the ground a few times with her cane. "What?" You shouted so loudly just now, are you deaf now? Mrs. Wu, you tell me! "

Her mother, Zi Zhu, was already mentally prepared. She knelt on the ground and told the whole story with red eyes. She only vaguely mentioned the cause of death of Zi Zhu, but the madame had also seen the world.

The old mistress was shocked and surprised at the same time. She questioned Mrs. Xue loudly, "Is that true?" "Shao Yue, he …"

"Mother!" With a heart full of unwillingness, Mrs. Xue walked over and knelt down, taking the initiative to take over the responsibility. "It's my daughter-in-law who is too weak to discipline me!"

"What a sin!" "Sin …" The old mistress closed her eyes and her originally straight back bent. She then told the steward weakly, "Go call the lord!"

"Mother …" Mrs. Xue wanted to stop him, but this matter was too small. It was just that Zuo Shaoyan was a little harsh on the servants. If it got out of hand, it would become Zuo Shaoyan's bad character.

"Shut up! A loving mother has many failed children! It's fine if Shao Ling is confused, but Shao Xi is the eldest son and grandson of our Zuo Family, and he will inherit his family's property in the future. Some of his bad habits should be fixed as soon as possible! Must we wait until something big happens before we try to save them? "

She rested for a while before she said tiredly, "Forget it, bring this uncle to the ancestors to kneel down in front of the ancestors. Bring him to the buddhist hall tomorrow to accompany this old woman in paying respects to the buddha, and keep your heart at rest."

How could Mrs. Xue bear to have her precious son live such a miserable life? She immediately retorted, "Mother, Shao Yue still has the position of Registrar Official. Every day, he still has to study and study …"

The old mistress interrupted her, "The Qi family rules the world, and cultivation is the first priority. This is the decision. When did he decide to come out again?"

In her entire life, the old mistress focused on rules and regulations the most, concerned about the face of the Zuo's Mansion the most, and couldn't tolerate even the slightest blemish. If it wasn't for the fact that she was too old and weak, the children in her family would all have to be raised by her.

"And you guys …" The old lady stood up and looked around at the kneeling wives, "I know that I have treated you well in Zuo Family, but you guys only care about yourselves and do not care about your Zuo Family or face. Forget about the thirty big boards, just treat it as you accumulating merits for your lord, kneel here!"
