Old Aunt Deng bit her tongue to keep herself awake and not look unhappy.

But the descendants behind him couldn't help it anymore.

"Mother, you asked us to come back and honor you, and that's what we should do. But my mother..."

Madam Pei slammed the table and shouted, "Who is your mother? How dare you! Aunt Deng, is this how you raised your two brothers all these years? Now they are masters, and they still have no manners! Come, slap them in the face!"

Nanny Zhang stepped forward and slapped Aunt Deng four times in the face.

Aunt Deng was stunned!

A fat face that got fatter in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in the hall was stunned. Even Li Qingzhu, who came to the inner courtyard of Jingci Hall for the first time, couldn't help sweating profusely.

Qu tightened the handkerchief in her hand nervously.

It turns out that my mother-in-law is such a powerful person!

When one of the illegitimate sons wanted to stand up angrily, he was pushed back by several maids who had been waiting there.

With a thud, the bastard fell heavily to his knees on the ground again.

He still had a look of resentment on his face: "You——"

"The old lady is just teaching a concubine a lesson. Does she have to look at your faces? What, the two masters still want to support our old concubine?"

Nanny Zhang clapped her hands, and in an instant, more than a dozen skilled maids surrounded her. In an instant, everyone lowered their heads under the pressure and intimidation.

Old Madam Pei looked at everyone in the hall with cold eyes, then snorted coldly.

As soon as Aunt Deng came back, Madam Pei established her authority.

How could she know that the old lady would be so disrespectful to her?

In the past, on the farm, she was the old lady!

Being rich and powerful, with children and grandchildren around, how happy is that!

Originally, when she heard that she was going back to the general's mansion, she felt a little proud, thinking that her return would make the old lady angry, and her children would have the opportunity to occupy the general's mansion again.

But at this moment, she was actually a little scared...

The evil look in the old lady's eyes was there back then.

But it was Li Chaojing who stopped it for him, which saved Aunt Deng from suffering a lot.

But now, the master hates her to the core...

Will I really not get hurt when I come back this time?

In an instant, Aunt Deng's arrogance subsided.

Finally, before Aunt Deng even settled down after returning, she was punished by Madam Pei to copy scriptures in Futang.

Starting from tomorrow, the illegitimate sons of the two families must come to Jingci Hall to pay their respects every day.

Then Mrs. Pei sent everyone away.

Li Qingluo felt relieved knowing that her grandmother had her own way of dealing with people.

After she stood up and said goodbye, she heard a burst of sobbing on her way back to the Red Maple Pavilion.

"My mother blames me. How can this be my fault? I also want to live in that yard..."

"Stop crying! Don't you know? Father has always been filial. Grandmother was punished today, and Father must be feeling bad. He must be extremely angry, so he took his anger out on us. If he hears you crying again..."

Li Qingluo glanced at Que'er, who immediately nodded.

When Que'er came back, Li Qingluo was holding the invitation to the princess's mansion in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Prince Su said that the princess's mansion would hold a winter banquet and asked her to bring the drawings with her.

Li Qingluo had known that this invitation would come, but the invitation said that she should bring all the sisters in her family with her that day.

"Now our house is bustling with activity. We already had three girls, and now four more have come. Now there are seven girls. Do we really have to take them all with us that day?"

Aunt Deng smiled and shook her head.

I'm afraid even the Princess' Mansion didn't expect that their General's Mansion would suddenly have four more girls.

Li Qingluo: "The Princess's Mansion can accommodate a few people, and the Princess certainly won't mind. It's just... I don't want to bring them."

Que'er: "Wouldn't it be better if the girl brought Sister Huan with her?"

Li Qingluo looked at her: "How was the investigation?"

Que'er came over quickly. "Miss, I've asked. It was the Second Master who wanted to stand up for Old Concubine Deng today. The two girls we just saw were also from the Second House. The courtyard they wanted to live in was taken by the girls from the Third House, and they were scolded by their father."

Madam Deng: "The third son is Aunt Deng's second son. He seems to have been more favored since childhood. I heard that he was domineering and arrogant on the farm. But today, I see that he looks like a quail."

Li Qingluo burst out laughing when he heard this description.

The second and third wives are two illegitimate sons.

They are all married now, but because they are seven or eight years younger than Li Chaojing, the oldest of the descendants who came back today is the eldest daughter of the second wife, who is only twelve or thirteen years old.

The rest are even younger.

Li Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take them all. If the princess asks about it that day, I'll be able to answer her."

Otherwise, the princess would be unhappy.

However, whether they would be embarrassed, proud, or stand out if they went there was all their own business.

Li Qingluo is thick-skinned and doesn't care about the family's honor.

"Go and inform each hospital, and I'll take anyone who's willing to go."

This is also an opportunity for her to find out about Aunt Deng's background.

The sparrow responded.

But she suddenly thought: "What about Ziwei Hall..."

Li Qingluo was too lazy to save face, "Don't shout!"

Li Qingluo was deliberately trying to anger Li Qingzhu.

Of course, Li Qingzhu was furious.

"She's even willing to take those little girls who just came back with her, so why wouldn't she take me with her?!"

"I am at least her sister in name only. Does she really not care about this little bit of dignity?"

"I, Li Qingzhu, am not even as good as these country girls?"

"Why would the *** Mansion invite her? I'm the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion!"

Li Qingzhu was so angry that she swept everything on the table to the ground, and all kinds of porcelain were broken into pieces.

When Zhuang Wei came in and saw the mess on the floor, his jaw dropped in shock.

"Zhu'er, what's wrong with you? But who made you angry?"

Li Qingzhu didn't expect that Zhuang Sanlang had seen what she had just done, and she felt a little panicked.

But she soon burst into tears and threw herself into Zhuang Saburo's arms again.

"Wow, Sanlang... I was just mad at myself, that's why I lost my composure!"

When Zhuang Wei saw her so sad, all the doubts in his heart were instantly swept away.

He hugged Li Qingzhu and wiped her tears distressedly: "What happened? Who bullied you? Tell me, I will go find him to vent your anger for you!"

Li Qingzhu sobbed, "It wasn't anyone who bullied me... It was me who failed to be a good older sister. I was also willful before, afraid that my parents would no longer love me, so I committed the self-immolation. Now that I'm home, my sister Luo'er must be extremely angry with me, so I..."

"So this time, the princess' invitation was sent to the Red Maple Pavilion. I heard that Sister Luo'er wanted to bring all the sisters in the family, even the cousins ​​who just came back today, but I was not included."

"Sanlang, I just feel so ashamed that I have no face left! Wuwuwu..."

Zhuang Wei: "How can she be so stingy? I'll go talk to her!"
