Fifty happy events good things

  "What's all the commotion about, aren't things chaotic enough in the mansion already?"

  Just then, a stern voice was heard outside, and a woman wearing a large red jacket with yellow chrysanthemum flowers, her white face covered in frost, hurried into the house surrounded by several maids.

  Everyone was stunned in an instant——

  It's none other than Madame Zou herself!

  Looking at the sudden arrival of the big lady, Jiu Si'er was first surprised and then sighed.

  Not to mention, it's really timely!

  "Mother, how did you come?" Liu Jie immediately turned her head to ask, while Qi Jie retreated to the side without a trace.

  "How dare you ask me this? Of course I'm here for you!"

  Looking at her own simple-minded and hot-tempered daughter, Mrs. Zou was filled with frustration and helplessness.

  "Mother, look at my foot... it hurts so much..." Liu Jie didn't have a good eye for situations and thought her mother was coming to support her, so she immediately began to pout and pointed at Jiu Jie, "It's all her fault, this vicious person hurt me..."

  "Shut up!" But before she could finish speaking, she was cut off by Zou's stern tone, "As the daughter of a noble marquis, you act rashly and speak recklessly. Don't you feel ashamed?"

  "Mother......" was unexpectedly scolded by her mother, and in front of everyone, Liu Jie couldn't help but feel shocked and wronged, and her stubborn temper flared up. "Can I be blamed for this? The pair of blue topaz earrings that my maternal grandmother gave me as a New Year's gift were stolen by her." She pointed at Jiu Jie again after finishing speaking.

  "Nonsense!" But was again severely reprimanded by Zou, then Zou waved his hand to the back of Zhuang's mother, and saw Zhuang's mother come forward with a colorful thing in her hands.

  As they looked at it, everyone was stunned for a moment. Liu Si's face showed an unbelievable expression, "My bracelet...where did this come from?"

  "Where did it come from... It's all because of your carelessness, you left it among those worthless things. Luckily, Zhuang Mama was careful and searched thoroughly to find it for you. Originally, I was going to wait until you remembered and then give you a warning, but unexpectedly, as soon as I blinked, you ran here and started causing trouble. You really are capable of making a mess!"

  Zou immediately scolded her again, saying as he stretched out his index finger and poked her forehead with force.

  This move can be said to have been done just right, making people feel that they are punishing Liu Jie, but also not letting Liu Jie feel embarrassed.

  Such a wonderful move couldn't help but make Jiu Si'er, who was standing on the sidelines with her hands hanging down, exclaim in admiration. Her elder aunt was indeed a master.

  "Still not apologizing to Ninth Sister!" The expert then showed another move.

  This made everyone's eyes fall on Zou Shi's face in an instant, seemingly... apparently... seemingly sincere...

  "It's nothing, Auntie. Sixth sister and little sister are used to making a fuss, this doesn't count." Ninth sister quickly pushed it off.

  Give him an out and let's drop it! What else can we do?

  Disputing for face at this moment, and afterwards provoking the arrogant and overbearing Sixth Sister to resentment, provoking the honey-mouthed and sword-bellied Elder Madam to displeasure.

  If she had a choice, she would still not want to offend this person in power and make her situation even more difficult.

  "Eldest sister, you don't have to compromise, if she doesn't get some lessons, how will she remember?" Mrs. Zou said with a serious and impartial face.

  Borrowing a slope and yet not going downhill? This time Ninth Sister was truly astonished, but what made her even more astonished was still to come...

  "Sixth sister, how did your grandfather teach you? Knowing one's mistakes and correcting them is a matter of awakening, taking responsibility, and being honest. Have you forgotten all about it?" Mrs. Zou said to the sixth sister who was lowering her head in shame but still motionless with stubbornness.

  It's actually quite... uh, so artistic!

  Jiuer couldn't help but admire Zou Shi once again with utmost sincerity.

  "Nine sisters..." As it turned out, Zou really didn't disappoint the ninth sister's admiration for her. Just look at Liu's reaction - although she was flushing with embarrassment and extremely unwilling, she still limped over slowly, bowed her head to Jiu, and said "It was my fault, I wronged you, please don't hold it against me!"

  "Sister Liu, don't be like this, it's nothing. We're sisters who grew up playing together since childhood. Who would care about a few bumps and bruises?"

  The ninth sister hastily said, while speaking, she couldn't help but look for the seventh sister in the crowd, but where was the seventh sister's figure?

  However, she thought that the Seventh Sister would not have good fruit to eat. Mrs. Zou is now most worried about the problem of educating the Sixth Sister who will become a princess in the future, but she came to teach and guide the Sixth Sister, how could Mrs. Zou not be annoyed with her?

  Later, Mrs. Zou scolded the maids who followed to search and clean up, instructing them to tidy up Jiu's place, then comforted Jiu again before taking Liu with her. As she left, she made it clear that she would not let Liu off easily and would invite a few strict matrons to teach her some rules.

  The ninth sister naturally explained it again for the sixth sister, and then this matter was settled.

  "These six girls have really dark hands!"

  At night, Ninth Sister ordered Qing Xiang to cook eggs for Qing Tao to apply hot compresses on the swollen half of her face. Qing Xiang carefully performed the task while sighing.

  "Who says it isn't?" Jiujie also furrowed her brow deeply.

  "It's nothing, miss," the green peach laughed carelessly. "We didn't lose out today. Although I got slapped, that Sixth Miss hurt her foot too. Besides..." The green peach lowered her voice, "that bracelet looks like a valuable item, who knows how much silver it's worth?"

  Qing'an smiled at this, and Jiu's daughter also smiled.

  Indeed, today she also had the greatest gain, that is, the string of bracelets picked up from under the potted plant.

  Although it can't be taken out openly and honestly, if there's really a chance to secretly take it to the pawnshop, it would make a small fortune.

  As for where Zou's family got that string of things from, you can only ask Zou's family about it.

  However, Zou didn't lose out either. This move earned him a lot of praise and most importantly, avoided bringing today's matter to the attention of Lady Li.

  After today's commotion in the second house, if they really have to deal with this matter again, Mrs. Li will definitely be furious, and it's easy to imagine what will happen to that troublemaker Liu Si'er.

  However, she still had a little misunderstanding, that is, Zou Shi handled this matter today, seemingly with great sincerity and friendliness towards her.

  "Squeak——"

  At this moment, the door was pushed open and Qingzhi walked in with a tray.

  Her gaze suddenly fell on her, and then gently condensed...

  After that incident, Liu Jie didn't leave the house for many days, and it's said she was learning etiquette.

  And as for Seventh Sister, she was rebuffed by the people of the first wife's household at the door several times, and then she actually started to curry favor with Fourth Mistress Zhen.

  Think about it, Zhen's family is not a thrifty lamp, and their days are easy to imagine.

  As for the matter of the second wife, it was also quickly resolved, because that Xiao Shi was also a person with some ability.

  First, have the two beauties by your side show their faces and let Wen Jingru take in the painful room; then, on the day of the new marriage returning to her natal home, happily and joyfully pretend as if nothing had happened, and also let her father and brother arrange for Wen Jingru to enter the Imperial Academy.

  Beautiful scenery and promising future have a double effect, Wen Jing never mentioned the divorce again!

  However, the second master and his wife did not feel proud because of this. Coincidentally, the fourth young master of the third house, Wen Jing, was taking the imperial examination, which made the second house even more embarrassed. The second master hurriedly left for his post, while the second madam pretended to be ill and refused to see anyone for many days.

  Fortunately, there was one good thing, which was that the matter between Fourth Sister and Rongguo Gong's youngest son, Yuan Shi Huan, had already been settled. Otherwise, she felt that the second madam didn't need to pretend at all, and would definitely fall ill for real.

  In short, the luck of the Wen family is still not bad this year. After the fourth sister got engaged, the Lu Di Xin royal family also sent someone to propose to the sixth sister, and the whole house was filled with joyful atmosphere.

  Apart from this, Wen Jing Shui did not disappoint everyone's expectations and successfully passed the county and prefectural exams with excellent results.

  This was undoubtedly another great joy, San Lao Ye and his wife were overjoyed, the old lady was delighted, and the whole house celebrated.

  Jiuer was also delighted, but she had no idea that her fate was about to undergo a drastic change.

  ……
