Chapter 21
Lin Qingwu pretended that he still couldn't bear to say: "nevertheless, it's just a small matter. Mammy Li has served her three younger sisters for many years and is old. You shouldn't punish her severely."
"The eldest sister doesn't know. Mammy Li slapped Qiudong twenty times. I only ordered Qiudong to slap back twenty times. Whoever is heavy and who is light, they were punished the same."
"This..."
Lin Qingqian first interrupted Lin Qingwu's words and looked at the old lady with clear eyes.
"I also thought that mother Li was old and didn't want to punish her, but mother Li didn't punish my close maid once or twice without authorization. Some servants in the hospital secretly joked that they didn't know. They thought she was the master of Liuyuan. I punished mother Li and reduced her to a second-class servant girl."
When Lin Qingwu saw that Lin Qingqian was unreasonable, he was secretly dissatisfied.
"Three younger sisters, it's just the servants' gossip, but you deliberately punish the old nurse who has served you for many years because of these words?"
Lin Qingqian didn't speak yet. The old lady's face sank and she said angrily, "it's just a small servant. Let alone whether she has done something wrong, the master will have to be punished. This is a duty to be a servant, not to mention a servant who can't even carry his own identity. It's not too much to kill!"
The old lady has always hated people who don't understand the rules. Mammy Li's behavior is more and more. In her opinion, Lin Qingqian's punishment is a love of the past.
Lin Qingwu's face changed slightly. Why can't he hear the old lady's dissatisfaction with herself? He quickly explained: "grandma, Qingwu just saw that mother Li was old and couldn't bear it. She didn't know she had done such a thing that she didn't keep her duty."
Lin Qingqian also said, "grandma, my eldest sister has been practicing the piano in her own hospital recently. She hasn't sat in Liuyuan for many days. It must be that some servant saw that my eldest sister was kind-hearted and deliberately reversed the matter, so that my eldest sister misunderstood."
With a ladder, Lin Qingwu naturally walked down the ladder.
Looking regretfully at Lin Qingqian, "what the three younger sisters said is that they all blame me. Listening to the wind is rain. They haven't seriously asked the reason."
At the same time, Lin Qingwu looked at Zhu Hong angrily, "do you mean to mention it in front of me yesterday?"
Zhu Hong knelt down in fear.
"Miss, it's all the fault of the slave and maid. When I heard about it yesterday, I was indignant for mammy Li. Knowing that the young lady was kind-hearted, I deliberately concealed some facts. Please forgive the slave and maid this time. The slave and maid dare not again..."
Lin Qingwu looked at Zhu Hong disappointed. "You almost made me misunderstand my third sister. In that case, I'll punish you for three months of monthly money..."
Before she finished speaking, the old lady said calmly: "how can you spare the servant who is so ill intentioned and gossiping in front of the master? Mammy Zhang, palm and mouth 30, now execute."
"Yes, old lady." Mother Zhang saluted and went straight to the frightened vermilion.
Mammy Zhang raised her hand and slapped her face heavily.
"Pa" gave Lin Qingwu a crisp applause.
But she can't show any reluctance and anger on the surface, for fear of offending the old lady.
Lin Qingqian's eyes drooped slightly and said nothing. He didn't feel guilty at all. Zhu Hong was beaten innocently.
Thirty days later, Zhu Hong was full of tears. Half of his face was red and swollen. He knelt on the ground and didn't dare to complain.
The old lady gently pinched her forehead with a tired face and said, "go back first today. I'm tired and want to have a rest. I have a good cloth here. Qingwu takes it back to make a dress. Qingqing doesn't have to come for massage these two days. I'll have a rest in the house to save me from fatigue."
"Yes, grandma," they said together
The old lady waved her hand and they withdrew from the bedroom together.
Mammy Zhang picked up the old lady, saw her frown, and asked, "is the old lady thinking of two young ladies?"
The old lady nodded slightly, wondering what had just happened.
Lin Qingwu, as a legitimate daughter, has been carefully cultivated. He knows nothing about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, Lin Qingqian is laissez faire and has only learned words for a few days. Even though Lin Qingwu is dressed in royal clothes and surrounded by pearls, his appearance is outstanding, but his temperament is strong.
Lin Qingqian is dressed in light colors, wears a simple bun on his head, has no jewelry, has clear eyes, is neither humble nor arrogant, and is still young, but he can see his extraordinary temperament.
"Both young ladies are graceful and graceful. The old lady should be happy."
The old lady shook her head, sighed in her heart and said, "just wait until Lang Tian comes back with the emperor's winter hunting. Besides, I'm tired. Wait for me to lie down."
"Yes, old lady."
The old lady thought that she needed to find a teacher to teach Lin Qingqian's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Mammy to teach her etiquette needlework. Even if she had a concubine, she would not be a woman with empty expression in the future.
Out of Jinglan garden, Lin Qingqian secretly guessed the old lady's meaning.
He punished Zhu Hong face to face, rewarded Lin Qingwu, and ordered himself not to go to greet him these two days, all in order to maintain Lin Qingwu's position as the legitimate daughter of the prime minister's house.
After figuring out what the old lady meant, Lin Qingqian secretly said that it was too difficult for the concubines to mix well in the noble age.
Lin Qingwu walked in front, slowly, like deliberately waiting for Lin Qingqian behind him.
Lin Qingqian cleaned up his thoughts, settled his mind, and quickly caught up with Lin Qingwu.
"Elder sister, wait a minute."
Lin Qingwu stopped, turned back, looked at Lin Qingqian with a gentle smile, "three younger sisters have something to say?"
Lin Qingqian bowed his head, stirred his fingers and asked carefully, "elder sister, can I go to your yard to find you in two days?"
"Of course, the third sister hasn't been there for a long time. I thought you were ill and the eldest sister didn't go to see you. You're angry with me."
Lin Qingqian was happy and shook his head like a rattle. "No, I heard that my eldest sister had to concentrate on practicing the piano, so I didn't dare to disturb my eldest sister. I don't know how much I want to go to find my eldest sister."
"I almost misunderstood my third sister today. Did she ever blame me?"
"How!" Lin Qingqian said sincerely on his face: "I know I'm upset. The maidservant gossips in front of the eldest sister. If I want to separate my feelings with the eldest sister, I won't be fooled!"
"Well, the third sister is as smart as ever. When you come to my yard, I'll make you your favorite cakes myself."
Lin Qingqian's eyes lit up, hugged Lin Qingwu's arm and said in a charming and simple way: "I said today, elder sister, don't go back. I'll go to Nanyuan another day."
Lin Qingwu smiled and said, "OK."
As soon as I turned around, the intimacy on my two faces faded in an instant.
Lin Qingqian is ashamed of herself. She knows she has a bad intention for herself. She also plays such a play of sisterhood. She has goose bumps. If she persists for a while, she is afraid that she will break the work.
When the man was far away, Lin Qingwu put away his Yin eyes and looked back at the red and swollen vermilion on his right face.
"Does it hurt?"
With tears in her eyes, Zhu Hong shook her head. "The maids and maids don't hurt. They are willing to receive more punishment for the young lady."
Lin Qingwu clenched his teeth secretly and said coldly, "wait! I won't let you get today's punishment for nothing!"
"The eldest sister doesn't know. Mammy Li slapped Qiudong twenty times. I only ordered Qiudong to slap back twenty times. Whoever is heavy and who is light, they were punished the same."
"This..."
Lin Qingqian first interrupted Lin Qingwu's words and looked at the old lady with clear eyes.
