How did the little tyrant find out that Aunt Cui had been sent away?

Hearing this, Xiu Ying was flabbergasted. She forgot the feeling of being stopped and asked, "How did you hear that too?"

Du Yicheng made a 'chi' sound, "Is it really that hard to hear such a thing? Which of the madams who came to my house didn't like to talk about the length of a family? They paid their respects to my mother that day and got to hear it. "

His words were very light, but Xiu Ying wrinkled her brows. "What did they say?"

Du Yicheng was startled by her question, and after recalling it, he said, "It means that your sister-in-law's aunt offended her first wife and was sent away. "What's there to say about this? In my father's concubines, whoever disobeyed would be beaten to death."

Aunt Cui offended her mother and was sent away?

Hearing this, Xiu Ying's face turned cold.

The Shen family had clearly said that Aunt Cui was sick, which was why she was sent out. Even if others wanted to discuss this matter, even if they knew that it was a fight between concubines, they still wouldn't brazenly expose it.

It was very likely that the same thing was going on in the outside world.

Xiu Ying was instantly on fire. Aunt Cui was already in the manor, and the people around her couldn't even move. What kind of evil spirit was stirring up trouble behind them?!

"Thank you." Xiu Ying thought, saluted Du Yi, and ran towards the Jia Xin Yuan.

Just like that, Du Yicheng was thrown off. He frowned, then carefully recalled their conversation and understood why she had been gone so long. His gaze darkened. After exiting the Shen Mansion, he called for a servant to give him some instructions.

The attendant was dumbstruck when he heard this.

So what if it was their young master? Why did he suddenly start worrying about other people's wives?

On the other side, Yu Ying returned to the courtyard to see her mother, who was carrying Brother Xiang. Without a word, she dragged someone into the room and told Du Yicheng everything that had been said.

When the Feng family heard their daughter's angry words, their expressions were relatively calm.

Xiu Ying said anxiously, "Mother, who do you think is trying to confuse us?" "Aunt Cui obviously wanted to harm mother, but now she's biting back and slandering us!"

"Speaking of which, a few days ago, the Cui family came to see your grandmother."

Madam Feng faintly said, and Xiu Ying also understood immediately. This matter was most likely related to the Cui Family. It was simply going too far! Xiu Ying was so angry that her eyes turned red.

Seeing her daughter in such a state, Madam Feng was afraid that she might lose her breath. On the other hand, she comforted her, "Don't worry, I will send someone to scout for her." She didn't go out often, and the news of the outside world would lag behind her by a day or two. She didn't expect her daughter to hear these rumors again.

She already appeared extremely intelligent at such a young age. It was not a good thing to waste more of her energy on such matters.

Thinking of this, Madam Feng let Xiang'er come over. Seeing that her daughter was gradually smiling at him, she let out a sigh of relief. His expression was unclear as he went to the outer room and instructed a few words to Xinmei.

If it was really the Cui Family's doing, she would make them lose all face!

In two more days, it would be the Zhongyuan Festival. The festival was about to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, as well as a series of customs. Every household in the Yongping Mansion was busy. Xiu Ying also received three days of leave, so she didn't have to go to school anymore.

Being held by Madam Feng, Xiu Ying began to teach her about housework.

Ever since Xiu Ying heard the rumors, Madam Feng thought for a moment and felt that it was time to let her daughter start to get involved with some of the housekeeping matters. This was originally a skill that a woman needed to learn, so it was better for her not to think too much about it.

The little girl bitterly laughed as she followed Madam Feng to see the steward, helping with the orders, and also taking care of the matters related to the banquet that day. Apart from these, there was also the homework teacher had assigned to her. It had really diverted her attention quite a bit, causing her to fall asleep at night without even having the strength to think about Li Qingzhao's matters.

It wasn't until the day of the Mid-Yuan Festival, when the ancestors had eaten their meals, that Xiu Ying finally had the time to sit down and talk to her siblings. Listening to the chattering around her, Xiu Ying suddenly felt that this was the life of a child.

Why did her mother suddenly become strict?

Second Master Shen did not come back. He only sent a letter to the Emperor asking him to come to the capital to take care of his family.

The children were playing in the west wing, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were talking in whispers.

Eunuch was a little hesitant. "Eldest sister-in-law, you're talking about this …" I have no idea either. "

She had her reservations.

It was natural for her to take care of Old Mother while he was at home. He had mentioned this before, but he wasn't as resolute as he was now. He actually said that he would take her and his mother when it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

She was afraid that Old Madam Shen might have thought that because of Aunt Cui's matter, there was a barrier in her heart that separated her from Second Master Shen.

If that were the case, then the mother-in-law relationship would truly be finished.

Madam Feng naturally understood her meaning. She sighed lightly: "If you were to go after me, there is no need to worry too much."

Madam You was surprised, but she continued, "If you don't like the sound of it, Second Uncle is the second son of the family, and there is a younger uncle behind him. This family had to be divided up. Let's not talk about other things and just talk about their future career. Whoever can guarantee them will always be in the capital, or they can always be at peace. "

"Therefore, it is unlikely that this house will always be the same as before. Furthermore, the Cui Family has come looking for you due to the matter regarding Aunt Cui's visit to the Manor. "

The Cui Family came looking for him?

Upon hearing these words, a bad premonition arose in her heart.

Madame Feng smiled at her. "They are building up their power right now, and they are giving me the hat of a concubine. Naturally, I will not let them off. However, the Cui Family's power should have something to do with this. Even if they didn't dare, I still had a handle on Aunt Cui. Therefore, we might even implicate the two of you. "

"Since Second Uncle wants you to go to the capital, you should take the opportunity to go. "Without your mother's support, you won't want to come back in a few days."

Ever since the matter of Aunt Cui plotting against the second branch, the two sister-in-law and her sister-in-law had truly made up their minds to each other. Only then did Lady Feng speak out the true words that came from within her heart.

Madam You was intrigued by this as well.

Right now, this was the situation. In the Shen family, they were part of the second branch. Even if they were part of the main branch, they would still be separated from the family in the future. In addition, there was an anxious aunt in the room. Even if she was beaten up, she would struggle to get up. After her daughter fell into the water, she was truly afraid of the two of them.

She thought for a moment, then shook Madam Feng's hand and said, "Madam Feng's words are reasonable. Allow me to think about it for a few more days."

"Mm, you think about it. If you have anything you don't want to say, old lady, you can ask for my help. "

The two siblings smiled at each other.

On that night, the people of Yongping House would go to the river and put out the river lamps.

The people of the Shen Mansion had already finished their meal. Madam You brought her children and siblings out. Xiu Ying was still the same as before, and Shen Jun smiled as he brought her out. As for Shen Lian, she was called away by the Cui Family after dinner.

Old Madam Shen only told Madam Feng about this matter when she arrived in front of them. Madam Feng didn't let them off so indifferently, causing Old Madam Shen to feel a little apprehensive. Recently, she felt that the Cui Family had come to visit too many people. Although it was her mother's family, they had their own matters to attend to before Aunt Cui came along, even though they didn't say anything. But that did not mean that she did not notice anything.

She wondered if there was going to be any more trouble in the middle of it.

After the incident with the birthday present, Old Lady Shen had given up the fight with her eldest daughter-in-law and decided to live in peace.

But this time, she had no choice but to think it over. After hesitating for a while, she asked her mother to go out and inquire about it. See if there was anything she didn't know.

While everyone was secretly making a move, Xiu Ying was waiting for her third uncle in Mu Xi Yuan to change his clothes. She knew that Shen Junxiao must have had an appointment with a classmate, so she sat obediently in the study room and waited. As she sat there, she suddenly remembered the letter from before.

She hadn't had time to come these days, and what was in the letter kept telling her to grab at her lungs. She looked out of the window. The door of the main room was still closed, so she got up from her chair and hurried to the table.

However, the book that she put on the table a few days ago had already disappeared. It seemed like she had put it away.

She then moved a stool to the bookshelf and began to look through the books one by one. That day, she memorized the titles of the books and threw them into a book called Agriculture Workers' Hydration … Farmer, Farmer... Where did he put it?

While she was searching, she began to lean to one side, to read the book there. Amidst the dense pile of books, a blue book was revealed. Joy filled her heart as she reached out her hand to grab it. However, it was so close that he could only raise his toes up.

As her hand touched the book, a voice called after her: "What are you looking for?"

Xiu Ying was shocked. She had the book in her hand, but her body was still slanted outwards.

The sound of something heavy hitting the floor came from the study.
