"Hmm?" The Countess tilted her head to the side as she looked at Madam Bao and said expressionlessly, "The Ding clan is the Senior Servant who accompanied the Duke of Duan's estate back then. Since the princess has gone, the Ding clan will remain by Roughpeak's side to wait upon her." When did you transfer Tinker? How come I don't know? "
Madame Bao quickly thought about it and smiled apologetically, "Mother, did you forget that year when we went through a storm? The girls in the racetrack shop all came from the same place. Their hometown was flooded. Mother, you are very kind to allow those girls to come home and serve their loved ones. It was at that time that my wife transferred Senior Servant Ding over. "
"In other words, you transferred the entire clan away the moment the princess left?" The madame's face had already darkened, and her unsightly expression made her heart beat rapidly.
He lowered his head and said, "Grandmother, please don't be angry. Although Senior Servant Ding is a wife of the Duke's Mansion, she has married her mother, so she is a servant of the House of the Marquis. "Aunt is in charge of the house of the Marquis right now, so she naturally has the authority to transfer servants."
The Countess snorted coldly and glared at her without a trace of politeness. She said, "Is the Ding Clan a dowry for the Duke Duan Mansion after all? They don't have any servants from the marquis' residence. After your mother's illness, she could have returned to the prince's mansion. It was only because she was concerned about you that she begged me to let her stay. But who would have thought … "
The old lady got angrier and angrier as she spoke. She glared at Madam Bao and said harshly, "Why aren't you going to the racetrack and invite the Ding family out? "Remember, invite them!"
Madame Bao trembled with fear. She had always thought that Senior Servant Ding was nothing more than a dowry, not to mention something like this, but she didn't expect that there would be such a paragraph in between. She had actually made a miscalculation, and hurriedly agreed to turn around, only to hear the madame say loudly, "Fine, stop right there! Useless, useless! Ju Xiang, you go. Tell the Ding clan that they have let her down, that they have let down the princess, that they are willing to let go of her as a disciple of Roughpeak. "
After Ju Xiang rushed out, Yun Yuanyuan could not bear to see the Old Mistress punish her for a servant. She frowned and said, "It's just a servant, Grandmother is being too careful." If you put it this way, it would seem that our house is afraid of the King's Manor at the end of the capital. If word of this were to spread, it would bring shame to the duke's manor. "
When Madame Bao heard this, something didn't seem right. Before she could stop him, Yun Chong Yuan had already said it out loud.
The old mistress was angered and berated sternly, "How dare you disobey this old one. This old one does things. Do I need a silly girl like you to teach me?!" Kneel down quickly! "
Yun Xiao Ling pulled Yun Xiangqin to her knees and pleaded: "Second sister's mouth is too quick to speak, and she offended grandmother. I hope grandmother will forgive second sister for her filial piety."
Seeing Yun Yuanyuan shut her mouth and kneel at a loss, Roughpeak sneered in his heart. The Bao clan didn't know of Ding mama's origins, but the madame did.
This Ding mama was indeed a servant, but she had a successful nephew who had accompanied the young prince since childhood. She had been granted the king's permission to take the martial arts exam and become the martial arts champion, thus she was now a fourth rank general.
Originally, Cloudburst Roughway didn't know either. According to his memories, Senior Servant Ding would be killed by the Bao clan before her sixtieth birthday.
At that time, those from the Residence of Crown Prince had come to offer their birthday wishes, and among them was a fourth rank general who had accompanied the young prince to visit his grandmother.
The general's aunt had died in Hou Mansion for no reason. At that time, the entire city had been in an uproar, and the Marquis of Ye had paid a heavy price to settle this matter.
This Senior Servant Ding was extremely kind to Cloudburst Roughway. In his previous life, she didn't have the ability to protect him, so now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to rescue her from that devil's nest at the Washing Garden.
Although he had allowed things to progress this way, allowing Senior Servant Ding to help make Madam Bao pay the price, Cloudmist was unwilling to see the people beside him leave him one by one.
Without even thinking about it, Cloudburst out of Roughpeak chose to give up this opportunity to punish Madame Bao and save Senior Servant Ding.
Seeing that the situation had progressed in the direction he wanted, Roughpeak felt rather satisfied. Towards the three kneeling Sisters, Roughpeak didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion.
In her previous life, not a single mother or daughter of the Bao clan could escape from the clutches of that tragic ending.
If he were to let them go so easily, it would simply be letting them off too easily.
A bright smile appeared on the corner of Cloudfall's lips as his eyes brimmed with admiration. He said in a rather spoiled manner, "No matter what, Second Sister's filial piety has moved Roughpeak greatly. Grandmother, on account of second sister's filial piety, forgive second sister this time? Roughpeak was extremely envious of his second sister. She was willing to serve under the knees of his parents. "Unlike when you came out of the Roughs …"
Yun Fei's eyes also turned red, and his voice became even deeper.
Thinking of her son, who was far away at the border, and her daughter-in-law who passed away young, the Countess felt a sense of sadness. At the same time, she also felt a bit of heartache for Cloudmist, and said emotionally, "Foolish child, don't you still have a grandmother? With a grandmother, she will definitely take care of you for your mother one day. "
Cloudburst was overjoyed as he knelt down, kowtowing to her. "I thank Grandmother for her love and love." Then what about Second Sis? "
The old mistress glanced at the four of them and snorted coldly, saying, "Forget it, let's just forget about what happened earlier. We'll just forget about it for the sake of Roughpeak." If there is a next time, this old one will definitely not let you off lightly! "
The mother and daughter quickly kowtowed to thank him. However, Yun Chong Yuan acted like a dead pig that was unafraid of boiling water as she opened her mouth and said: "Grandmother, you seem to have forgotten what happened before. "Third sister and man have privately accepted it …"
Before Yun Yuanyuan could finish, the old lady scolded sternly: "A lady of a noble family with bad words, what does that mean? From this moment onwards, this matter shall not be mentioned again. "
"Grandmother, you're biased!" As soon as Yun Yuanyuan finished her sentence, the old mistress said with a solemn voice, "Men, send the second lady to the ancestral hall. Face the wall for three days!"
Yun Yuanyuan looked at the old mistress in shock and said loudly, "Grandmother, Yuanyuan won't accept this!"
"Five days!" The old mistress expressionlessly spat out two words, causing Yun Chong Yuan to pale, and she dared not say another word.
Madame Bao was a bit bolder, so she pulled Yun Xiailing and Yun Xiangqin to kneel down again, kowtowing as she said, "No matter what decision mother makes, your daughter-in-law will not dare to disobey. It was just that killing someone was not an option. His wife wanted to know why they couldn't talk about leaving the valley. Is it because Roughpeak is the granddaughter of your direct relative? "
"How dare you!" The madame's authority had not been challenged in such a long time.
Usually, they found the mother and daughter pair to be rather pleasing to the eye, but now, they felt that they really didn't know how to appreciate a favor!
Just as he was about to reprimand her, he saw Yunxu Roughu kneel down with a guilty expression and whisper, "Grandmother, all of this happened because we left Roughpeak. If Grandmother really wants to punish Second Sister, then we'll punish her together with Roughpeak!"
Although Madam Bao and Yun Xiao Ling did not understand what Yun Feng was doing, they quickly understood and requested to be punished together with Yun Chong.
The old mistress' eyes were filled with deep anger. Her gaze swept across Yun Wechat and the rest's faces, before finally landing on the stubborn Yun Chong. She said coldly, "If I tell you the reason, will you be able to reflect on yourself in front of the ancestral hall?"
Yun Yuanyuan straightened her back and stubbornly said: "Yes! Grandmother could give evidence that Third Sister did not have sex with a man. "Yuanyuan will willingly go to the ancestral hall to think for a month!"
"Yuanyuan, you can't!" Madame Bao asked anxiously, "There's only half a month before the new year ends. Are you going to celebrate the new year in the ancestral hall?"
Yun Yuanyuan looked at her mother stubbornly and said: "Mother, don't worry. If Third Sister was truly as innocent as the man who saved her that day, it would be equivalent to his daughter wrongly accusing Third Sister and being rude to his grandmother. It's not too much to think about it in front of the ancestral hall for a month; your daughter is willing to accept your punishment! "
The old mistress laughed coldly as she looked at the stubborn Yun Yuanyuan. She nodded and said, "You seem to have some backbone, but it's a pity that your eyesight is too weak. The girl from Roughpeak didn't say who that person was, but she wanted to save some face for you. Since you do not want this face anymore, this old body does not need to save it for you! But I'll tell you in advance. If you don't know who that person is, you can still say that he is innocent. If you all know who that person is … "
The old mistress' gaze suddenly became cold and she said sternly, "I will have to come to beg for forgiveness! Otherwise, this old one will not let you off so easily! "
Hearing this, Bao Shi pulled Yun Yuanyuan along and said: "Yuanyuan, hurry and apologize to grandmother."
Yun Yuanyuan's back was still straight as she looked resentfully out of the mountain and said coldly: "Yuanyuan, you just want to know the truth, what's wrong with that?"
The old mistress laughed coldly, "There are some people who are born aloof and do not allow others to talk about them." If you talk about it, it's wrong! I don't mind telling you, the person who saved Roughpeak is Zither Tomb's Young Master Tianya! That Young Master Tianya who had received the imperial edict yet dared to invade the capital! That's the most talented person in Chu that the empress dowager can look at in a different light! "
Yun Xiangqin sucked in a breath of cold air as she looked incredulously at Cloudfall. Finally, her curious gaze landed on the madame's face as she said, "Rumor has it that the empress dowager has seen Young Master Tianya once before. Grandmother once said that some people are born aloof and do not allow anyone to talk about them, but this meaning? "
"You're not stupid. But your second sister isn't as smart as you! " The old mistress glanced at Yun Yuanyuan and said mockingly, "Little girl Yuanyuan, are you satisfied with this result?"
"How is this possible?" Yun Chong had fallen to the ground.
She naturally knew who Young Master Tianya was.
It was as if such a noble person was standing in the clouds. She could only stare from afar … He was worshipping them like they were gods.
Even though Young Master Tian Ya lived in Ye City and Yun Chong Yuan was one of his admirers, he had only seen the back of the person from afar and had never seen his true appearance.
No wonder Cloudfall was unwilling to say who the person who saved him was. No wonder he said before he left that this person was not someone anyone could insult.
So it was like this, so it was like this!
It was a pity that it was too late to know all this!
