The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 37
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang looked at Aunt Liu standing next to the old lady and said with a smile, "Did Aunt Liu not take good care of you?"

Jiang looked at Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, you never show up in front of me every day. You pretend to be taking care of the old lady. You act like everyone in the yard is trash and you are the only one who is capable. Why? ?It turned out to be all fake?”

Aunt Liu didn't expect Jiang to be so sharp in front of Mrs. Zuo.

This is something she has never seen in 20 years.

At the same time, the old lady Zuo was also frightened.

"Ma'am, did you come to see the old lady in anger?" Aunt Liu bent down and poured a cup of tea for the old lady Zuo.

After reacting, Mrs. Zuo picked up the tea cup, raised her hand and threw it at Jiang's feet.

Zuo Xiangning was secretly shocked and hurriedly tried to pull Jiang away.

Jiang lowered his head and glanced at Zuo Xiangning comfortingly. When he raised his eyes again, his face was filled with grievances.

"Old lady, I don't know what my daughter-in-law has done wrong, to let you hurt her face like this!" Mrs. Jiang took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said sadly: "My daughter-in-law has been married into the Zuo family for so many years, and she has raised her husband and raised her children. There is no merit, but there is always hard work, right? The old lady actually humiliated her daughter-in-law in front of her concubines and juniors, which makes her daughter-in-law unable to survive. "

"Mother, don't be sad. The old lady hasn't been out recently. Maybe she hasn't heard the rumors outside." Zuo Xiangning supported Jiang and persuaded her softly.

"What rumors are there outside?" Mrs. Zuo, who values ​​​​face very much, immediately asked Zuo Xiangning nervously: "Did something happen to your father in Yangzhou?"

"Father is fine in Yangzhou, old lady, don't worry." Zuo Xiangning paused, glanced at Aunt Liu, and pursed her lips tightly.

Aunt Liu raised her eyebrows inexplicably, wondering what Zuo Xiangning meant.

"What kind of rumor is that?" Mrs. Zuo urged anxiously: "Fourth girl, please tell me quickly!"

Jiang was worried that Zuo Xiangning couldn't give a good reason, so she wanted to help her out, "Ning'er, don't say anything."

"Mom, the old lady will hear those words sooner or later." Zuo Xiangning looked at the old lady Zuo with red eyes, and said with shame: "Now there are rumors outside that the Zuo family has a bad family tradition, that they do not distinguish between legitimate concubines and concubines, and that the master dotes on his concubines. Ruining his wife, failing to manage the family well, and being useless, the old lady is biased and partial, leaving no place for a serious daughter-in-law, which is really insulting to the family tradition..."

"Bastard!" Mrs. Zuo didn't wait for Zuo Xiangning to finish speaking. She slapped the kang table next to her with a pale face, stared at her cloudy eyes and said angrily: "Who said this, you bastard?"

Zuo Xiangning hid in Jiang's arms as if she was frightened, and whispered: "People outside are saying this. Didn't Third Sister tell Aunt Liu?"

Aunt Liu knew that Mrs. Zuo valued her face more than anything else.

She hung her head beside her, her face turning green and red, fearing that Old Mrs. Zuo would bring her anger to her.

"Where did Fourth Miss hear this?" Aunt Liu, whose name was called, had to say: "This is all a matter of no avail. Our Zuo family is a well-known scholarly family. The Shili family, why? Maybe there are such rumors? And the old lady is the most kind and fair, and she is famous in the capital."

Mrs. Zuo has always considered herself a respectable old man.

She looked at Zuo Xiangning suspiciously.

Zuo Xiangning pouted and whispered to Jiang, "People outside really say that, even people from the Gu family say so."

The old lady Zuo lost her momentum as if her skin was deflated.

The old lady of the Gu family is one of the few people who gets along well with the old lady Zuo.

She thought that no matter how brave Zuo Xiangning was, she didn't dare to take issue with the Gu family.

Jiang stroked her forehead, leaned lightly on Zuo Xiangning, and said sadly, "Ning'er help me go back."

Thinking of Zuo Xiangning's words just now, Mrs. Zuo opened her eyelids and glanced at Mr. Jiang, and said with concern, "Let a doctor come in and take a look."

Jiang ignored her and left Shi'antang weakly.

After walking to a deserted place, Jiang asked Zuo Xiangning in a low voice: "Did people outside really say that?"

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and chuckled, shaking her head and saying, "No one outside said that." "Then you still dare to mention the Gu family?" Jiang asked anxiously, "What if the old lady asks the old lady Gu?"

"Don't worry, the old lady won't ask." Zuo Xiangning held Jiang's arm and said with a smile: "Besides, who would admit that he really said it? What's more, those words were originally the truth. The old lady is like a mirror in her heart."

Jiang sighed secretly. The children saw these things in the house more clearly than she did.

Aunt Liu on the other side said anxiously: "Old lady, you haven't asked her why she kicked out all the old people in the house..."

Mrs. Zuo turned her head and looked at Aunt Liu with cold eyes, "Have you heard what the fourth girl said?"

"Old lady, can I still lie to you?" Although Aunt Liu didn't hear what others said, she was not sure that others wouldn't say it.

"I really haven't heard Xiangyu say that." Aunt Liu said with twinkling eyes.

Old Mrs. Zuo looked at her deeply and said, "Go back."

"old lady……"

Aunt Liu was still waiting to explain, but Old Mrs. Zuo said: "You are a concubine, and you should go to Jiang's house every day to pay respects. Jiang's family believes in his high status, so I don't think he will embarrass you."

Aunt Liu's face couldn't help but turn pale.

Old Mrs. Zuo actually asked her to pay respects to Mr. Jiang?
"I have a lot of people here, so I don't need you to wait on me yet."

Aunt Liu left Shiantang and went directly to Yulanzhai. After sending everyone away, she asked Zuo Xiangyu if she had heard the gossip.

"Even if others think so in their hearts, they can't say it in front of me." Zuo Xiangyu looked at her dark complexion and asked, "What's wrong? Who did you hear say that?"

Aunt Liu frowned.

It was impossible for others to say it in front of Zuo Xiangyu, so why did they say it in front of Zuo Xiangning?
Aunt Liu thought of Zuo Xiangning's recent abnormality and scolded Zuo Xiangyu again, "I told you last time that you should hand over the jade peach to Zuo Xiangning, why haven't you done it yet?"

"If I leave my personal girl to her, where will I put my face?" Zuo Xiangyu said angrily: "She has stepped on me enough now, are you still going to let me live?"

"Then Zuo Xiangning and I were of the same mind before. Look at her now. Because you pushed her into the water, you pushed her completely to Jiang's side. Now we don't get any news from Jiang's side. ," Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang has kicked out almost all my people today. I'm afraid there will be no room for us ladies in this mansion from now on!"

"Then what should we do?" Zuo Xiangyu said anxiously: "How about you find the old lady? Let her come forward and suppress her."

Aunt Liu thought of Mrs. Zuo, and her face became a little gloomier.

He had cared for her like an ancestor all these years, yet she gave up on him so easily.

"Be more honest these days," Aunt Liu stood up and said, "The jade peach must be handed over, so just pretend you don't know anything."

"Mother--" As soon as Zuo Xiangyu opened her mouth, she was stared back by Aunt Liu.

The next morning, Aunt Liu went to Zuo Xiangning's yard early.

Zuo Xiangning looked at Yutao who was following Aunt Liu and raised her eyebrows lightly.

"You guys go out first, I have something to say with you girls." Aunt Liu said to Pan Cui and Pan Xia who were standing by.

The two of them saw Zuo Xiangning nodding before exiting the door.

"If you have anything to say, aunt, just tell me." Zuo Xiangning sat on the Taishi chair in the living room and looked at the two people standing in the middle of the floor.

Aunt Liu was furious. Did Zuo Xiangning regard her as a servant?
