Chapter 369
"Paipa--"
When the sound of beating the board outside suddenly stopped, Cui Siniang's heart beat into her throat.
She knew that Hongrui and the two women were blocked, so they could not make any sound even in pain, but she wanted to know what Hongrui was like.
Madam Du walked into the room, glanced at Cui Siniang in secret, and then reported to Mrs. Cui: "Old Madam, the three of them didn't hold on."
Cui Siniang was stunned when she was struck by lightning, her head was blank.
Mrs. Cui glanced at her and then ordered: "Clearn it clean and don't dirty the yard."
After pausing, she spoke again: "After all, they are servants from the middle age of the mansion. I will send them home, so that their families can be buried with a happy life, and give them a pension..."
After the arrangement was made, Mrs. Cui waved to Cui Siniang: "Si Niang, come here."
The people in the room looked at Cui Siniang in unison.
For some reason, Cui Siniang, who usually enjoys the eyes of everyone, felt ashamed and wanted to escape.
But she can't.
Cui Siniang gritted her teeth, walked slowly to Mrs. Cui, and called out "Grandmother" nervously.
"Good boy." Mrs. Cui stretched out her hand, touched Cui Siniang's hair lovingly, and said gently: "You are just kind-hearted and are too tolerant to the people around you.
"That girl Hongrui is not upright, she has harmed Ba Niang and you. She is still alive. She is worthy of death. Don't be sad for her.
"So that's it. I'll give you the flowers in my yard. I'll be relieved to have her by your side."
After saying that, without waiting for Cui Siniang to speak, he ordered Madam Du: "Go and call Fanhua over."
Everyone in the room was shocked. Didn’t Fanhua be sent to Qinghe by the old lady at the beginning of the year?
"Old lady."
Before everyone could react, a pretty woman had already walked in. After saluting Mrs. Cui, she saluted Mrs. Cui, Liu and others.
"You are back just in time. From today on, you will go to Haitangyuan to serve Si Niang." Mrs. Cui looked at Fanhua with satisfaction. She believed that as long as Fanhua is by Si Niang's side, Si Niang would never do this again.
Such clumsy behavior.
Fanhua respectfully agreed: "Yes, old lady."
Cui Siniang looked at Fanhua blankly, her head a little confused. Fanhua and Tangzhi were both first-class maids around her grandmother, and their abilities and status were comparable to ordinary servants.
She injured Baniang, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that she had seen disappointment in her grandmother's eyes just now, but not only did not punish her, but instead covered up the matter for her, and gave her the capable maid around her.
Is the grandmother doing this just because she is the daughter of her grandmother’s favorite son?
Seeing that Cui Siniang was still stunned, Liu couldn't help but remind her in a low voice: "Si Niang, why don't you thank the old lady?"
Cui Siniang came to her senses, quickly took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you grandmother."
Mrs. Cui showed a satisfied look and raised her hand and waved: "Okay, it's getting late, so go back and rest."
Everyone surrendered.
Mrs. Cui left Fanhua alone and ordered: "Si Niang is simple-minded. After you go to her, teach her well. Never do things like this again.
"If there is any movement in Haitangyuan in the future, you must report it to me in time."
Fanhua respectfully accepted the order: "Yes, old lady."
Mrs. Cui said again: "Remember, Si Niang is the legitimate daughter of the third wife, don't let others pass her."
......
The news that Hongrui was punished soon reached Xiao and Cui Baniang's ears.
"Ah Mom--"
Cui Baniang's face turned pale and reached out to hold Xiao's hand, her eyes full of anxiety: "Amn, what does grandmother mean?"
Although my grandmother made the decision and punished the person who injured her, the culprit was unharmed and got her grandmother's confidant maid. No matter how she thought about this, Si Niang got the benefits.
My grandmother knew that this was instructed by Si Niang, but she still blamed Hong Rui. Si Niang did not punish her at all. My grandmother was too partial to doing this.
However, my grandmother was so fond of Si Niang, would she punish her when she learned that she had exposed this?
The more Cui Baniang thought about it, the more scared she felt, and she grabbed Xiao's hand and tightened it.
"ah--"
Xiao's hand was so painful that it was scratched and he let out a low voice.
When Cui Baniang heard the scream, she quickly let go of her hand and looked at Xiao with a sorry look: "My grandma, I'm sorry, I..."
"fine."
Xiao leaned forward, took Cui Baniang's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid of Baniang, the old lady did this to protect Cui's reputation.
"Think about it, if it was rumored that the Cui family had a tragedy, what would the people in the capital think of Cui family? What would the people in the court think of your father?
"It's understandable that the old lady did this. After all, the person who beats you is Hongrui.
"But don't worry, if you are injured, the old lady will never turn a blind eye..."
As he was speaking, a voice came from outside the door: "Madam, Madam Du is here."
Xiao said to his daughter meaningfully: "Look, what am I talking about?"
She patted her daughter's hand, gave her a soothing look, and walked to the outside room.
"Come in quickly, Miss Du." Xiao sat down and shouted outside.
Madam Du walked in slowly and first asked Cui Baniang about her condition: "How is Baniang's injury? Are you asleep?"
Fearing that Madam Du saw something when she saw Baniang, Xiao quickly said, "Madam was injured in her leg, and it hurt so much that she couldn't sleep.
"I had no choice but to ask Dr. Chen to prescribe her aphrodisiac medicine, and I fell asleep just after taking it."
Madam Du showed a disappointed expression: "Since that's the case, I won't go to see her."
After saying that, she clapped her hands.
Several maids came in one after another with boxes.
Seeing Xiao's face showing shock, Du Niang explained: "The old lady heard that Ba Niang was injured and was very worried, so she asked me to go to the warehouse to pick up some precious medicinal materials and send them to Ba Niang for her to replenish her body.
"Don't worry, the old lady has punished Ba Niang severely, and no one will hurt Ba Niang in the future."
Xiao's lips twitched for a moment, and then showed a grateful expression: "Thank you, old lady, when Baniang's injury is better, I will go to Fuhaiyuan to pay my respects to the old lady."
"There is no need to pay your respects. It's better to recover from your injuries in the room."
After saying this, Madam Du turned around and left the room.
The maid from Fuhaiyuan hurriedly put down the box and went to chase Madam Du.
Xiao was stunned.
What does Miss Du mean?
The old lady blamed Baniang for revealing this matter, so she wanted Baniang to think about it in the room?
I don’t know if she was thinking too much, but Xiao always felt that the old lady was very angry. She walked to the table, opened the boxes, and checked the things inside one by one.
The box was filled with medicinal materials, but there were not many precious medicinal materials. The old lady asked Mrs. Du to give these things to her and was obviously just a good example, and she was not sincere at all.
They are both the daughters of the Third Master, and the different treatment is too great.
