Cui Siniang came out of Fuhaiyuan in despair. The maid Hongrui saw something was wrong with her and asked with concern: "Siniang, what's wrong with you?"

However, Cui Siniang didn't seem to hear her and walked straight forward.

As soon as she entered the third room, someone reported to Ms. Liu.

"Call Si Niang over." Mrs. Liu ordered.

So Xiangye invited Cui Siniang to the main room.

"You all go down."

After Mrs. Liu sent all the servants in the house away, she couldn't wait to ask her daughter: "How is it? Did the old lady reward you?"

As soon as she asked the question, she remembered the scene when her daughter entered the house just now. Her hands were empty, and the same was true for Hong Rui.

Mrs. Liu's heart sank, and she saw that her daughter's face was not very good, so she comforted her: "The old lady has rewarded you with so many good things on weekdays. It's okay if I didn't reward you this time. You don't have to be sad.

"Your father gave me a set of jewelry last time. Although it's not as good as the old lady's, it's pretty good. You can wear this set of jewelry tomorrow."

Seeing Mrs. Liu becoming more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, Cui Siniang became more and more irritable and suddenly shouted: "Stop talking."

Ms. Liu was startled by her: "What's wrong with you? Did the old lady scold you?"

"It would be nice if grandma scolded me." Cui Siniang whispered.

Whether it was beating or scolding, she could feel more at ease after being punished, but now, her grandmother didn't scold her or hit her, so she let her back so easily, which made her very uneasy.

Will her grandmother hate her because of this? Will she look down on her because of this?

The more Cui Siniang thought about it, the more frightened she became. Although her father was her support, her grandmother's love for her was the foundation for her to gain a foothold in the backyard.

If her grandmother dislikes her because of this, she will find it difficult to move forward in the Jingguo Palace.

"What are you talking about?" Ms. Liu didn't hear her words clearly and grabbed her arm and asked.

Cui Siniang felt aggrieved and suddenly threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms, crying and saying: "Auntie, my grandmother and aunt discovered that I hid my eldest sister's post, oh oh..."

Mrs. Liu felt like she was being shocked by electricity. It took her a long time to recover. She pulled her daughter out of her arms and said, "Don't cry yet. Did you tell me that the old lady punished you?"

"What did the eldest lady say?"

Cui Siniang wiped her tears and choked up: "Grandma didn't punish me. My eldest aunt said I was young and asked grandma to forgive me, and then they let me come back.

"But, I'm scared in my heart, wuwu..."

As she spoke, Cui Siniang burst into tears.

Madam Liu felt distressed, took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and comforted her in a gentle tone: "Don't cry, since they asked you to come back, they are not angry.

"If you are worried that the old lady will hate you because of this, I will go and tell the old lady that I hid the post privately and it has nothing to do with you."

"But..." Cui Siniang suddenly paused.

It was she who wanted to stay in the post, and it was she who said she would go to Zhen Guogong Mansion in place of Cui Hengyue.

but......

Cui Siniang raised her head and looked at Mrs. Liu with tears in her eyes: "But if I say this, my grandmother will definitely punish you.

"I don't want my mother-in-law to be punished for me, I would rather be punished myself."

Ms. Liu carefully wiped away the tears on her face and said with a smile: "Silly boy, I am your mother-in-law. I should protect you. If you are punished, I will really feel the pain.

"Don't worry, as long as grandma is here, you will still be the old lady's favorite granddaughter. No one can compare with you."

Cui Siniang said softly "Hmm" and threw herself into Mrs. Liu's arms again: "Thank you, Auntie."

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Liu said to her: "Don't keep those stickers in your room. I will send someone to Jinglan Garden."

Cui Siniang nodded.

At this time, Xiangye reported outside the door: "Third Madam, Grandma You is here."

Hearing the name "Mama You", Ms. Liu's body trembled and she quickly pushed Cui Siniang towards the inner room: "You go inside first."

Coming out of the inner room, Mrs. Liu straightened her clothes, then sat on a chair and shouted outside: "Please come in, Grandma You."

After Nanny You came in, she looked happy and said, "Third Madam, the old lady sent me here to tell you a few words."

Ms. Liu stood up quickly and said respectfully, "Mother You, please speak."

"The old lady said that the third lady instigated the fourth lady to secretly hide the post and made a big mistake. The third lady was punished to shut herself up and think about her mistakes, copy the Filial Piety Sutra a hundred times and send it to Fuhaiyuan within three days.

"I also hope that the third lady will concentrate on copying the scriptures and not let down the old lady's painstaking efforts..."

Nanny You glanced into the inner room and swallowed the next words in her stomach.

Mrs. Liu's face turned pale and her tone was forbearing: "Yes, I will follow the old lady's teachings."

After Aunt You left, Cui Siniang walked out of the inner room and looked at Mrs. Liu with an apologetic face: "Auntie, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, it's just copying scriptures. It's not hard work." Mrs. Liu comforted her with a smile.

Cui Siniang lowered her head and said no more.

----------

In the evening, as soon as Cui Yongxuan returned to the mansion, he heard that Mrs. Liu had been punished by the old lady, and ran to the main room angrily.

Under the candlelight, Mrs. Liu was sitting behind the desk copying scriptures.

Cui Yongxuan waved to the servants in the room. After they left, he came to the bookcase and saw the contents of the scriptures, and his face became even more livid.

"What did you do to make mother angry again?"

Hearing this, Ms. Liu felt aggrieved. She put down her brush and stood up: "What do you mean? Even if I don't do anything, the old lady will still be angry."

Cui Yongxuan's anger froze. Thinking of the past, his expression softened slightly: "What happened?"

Seeing that his tone was much gentler, Mrs. Liu told him everything in detail.

After hearing this, Cui Yongxuan became angry again: "Siniang is not sensible, are you also ignorant? Do you think it is great that you are punished for her?

"When she secretly withdrew Yuan Niang's post, you should have stopped her instead of being punished on her behalf after the mother found out about it."

She thought she would get pity from Cui Yongxuan, but she didn't expect that Cui Yongxuan would give her a scolding. Liu's heart was burning, and she said not to be outdone: "Why would I do this? Isn't it for our daughter?"

"If she could get those little ladies' posts, why would she do such a thing?"

Cui Yongxuan heard the blame in her words and felt very uncomfortable. The words became more and more unpleasant: "You have been in the Jingguo Palace for so many years, and if you haven't learned anything from your mother, you are very familiar with these heretical skills.

"Yuan Niang is my daughter and Siniang's biological sister. If Siniang wants to go, she can just tell Yuan Niang. Why is this?"

Mrs. Liu hates it when others use her background to make things worse, even Cui Yongxuan is no exception.

But her origin could not be changed, and Mrs. Liu could not refute, snorting coldly: "Siniang really wants to recognize this biological sister, but will Yuan Niang recognize her biological sister?"

"Do you think that as long as Siniang says something, Yuanniang will agree to take her to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"

Cui Yongxuan asked, "Why not? They are sisters, so they should help each other."

"Okay, since you are so sure, why not call Yuanniang and tell her in person to see if she will agree."

"Just say it."
