When the second lady heard this, her heart was filled with hatred. So what if she went to the old lady to complain? The old lady and the eldest lady were not the same person?

"The principles of law are nothing more than human feelings. Even the laws of the country still have human feelings. When did our prince's government enforce the rules so strictly? Could it be that my sister-in-law bullied us to this point because she thought our second wife was a concubine?"

Wei couldn't talk to the eldest lady, so he simply put a big hat on her.

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Qingliu is just a maid in the palace, and the second lady raised her higher than the prince. She can ignore the rules of the prince's palace and use this to question the majesty and justice of my wife. I will not

I understand, who is she to you? You have protected her to this extent and are not willing to break up with me because of her?" the eldest lady sneered.

Mrs. Wei was startled for a moment and looked at the eldest lady, a little confused.

In her impression, this sister-in-law has a very generous personality. Although she sticks to the bottom line and is not a soft-tempered person, she is still very tolerant to the people in the house. Especially to her and Su's two younger siblings.

, they all speak kindly and will never say such sharp words to each other to increase the conflicts between them.

what is it today?

At this time, Nanny Li had helped Qingliu stand up. Seeing that Mrs. Wei was in a daze, she quickly tugged on her sleeves and motioned for her to speak.

Everyone present was watching.

Mrs. Wei came back to her senses, her face became more and more gloomy: "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? What is the relationship between me and Qingliu Neng? Of course it is a master-servant relationship. She is the granddaughter of Grandma Li, and I chose her for Brother An."

When you have a common house, you naturally have to maintain things. Could it be that when the servants of your eldest house make mistakes, you just deal with them harshly without thinking about their daily hard work and love, and you forgive them when you can be more tolerant?

?”

Grandma Zhou, who was standing behind the eldest lady, admired the second lady.

No wonder she dared to change her children, this second lady was really powerful. Either she pointed the conflict at the legitimate concubine, or she incited people to share the same hatred.

Except for the eldest lady, the second lady and Zhao Jingan, the others who were watching were all servants.

If the eldest lady insists on following the rules and selling thirty large pieces of Qingliu with a stick, after the second lady’s selection, the servants in the house will inevitably feel that the head of the house, Mrs. Hou, is too harsh and unkind. They treat

The eldest lady's trust and respect were not only greatly reduced, but also caused a lot of resistance and dissatisfaction.

The second lady, who obviously wanted to protect Qingliu, gained a good reputation because of these words.

"The second younger brother and sister are really eloquent. They are obviously protecting the wrong person, but they still say that they are sentimental and righteous. I really admire them." The eldest lady smiled and said calmly.

She glanced at everyone: "There are no rules without rules. If a servant in the house kills someone, steals or commits adultery, and reports it to me, and his master and family come to beg for mercy, I will let him go, or

Give me a lighter sentence. I wonder if everyone here is convinced or not? If you think it is okay, then do some people think that Mrs. Hou is very lenient in running the family anyway, and there is not much punishment even for murder and arson, so he will do all kinds of evil, steal your property and beat your children.

, humiliate your wife and daughter. Do you feel safe staying in such a prince's mansion?"

At first, everyone thought what the second lady said made sense, but when the eldest lady said this, everyone came to their senses: Yes, it is indeed true.

Someone immediately shouted: "It's not safe, so we should handle it according to the rules."

When everyone saw that the person shouting was the steward of the outer courtyard, they quickly followed suit and said, "Yes, follow the rules."

Just kidding. Not to mention that what the eldest lady said makes sense and they are not convinced that they will not be punished for doing wrong things. Even if the person who said this is Mrs. Hou, who is in charge of the house, they should agree with the eldest lady instead of being led into a ditch by the second lady.

If they only care about feelings and not about rules, then it doesn't matter if they don't know how to flatter people. Wouldn't those who work diligently and diligently be doomed? It's better to be like this now, with clear rewards and punishments.

Seeing that Wei's face was getting more and more ugly, the eldest lady became more and more calm and looked towards the door.

Her plan was not just to make Mrs. Wei feel embarrassed about what to do with Qingliu, but she also wanted to make Mrs. Wei taste the unspeakable pain she had experienced these days.

The boy who went to summon her did not disappoint her. At this time, the crowd at the door gave way again, and a boy carrying a lantern walked in accompanied by a young man wearing a sapphire blue gown.

"Mother, Second Aunt." The young man spoke as soon as he came in. It was obvious that he had heard the argument between the two at the door.

With a crown-like face and a jade-like face, he walked up to the eldest lady, his clear eyes rested on Wei's face for a moment, and his calm posture was very similar to the eldest lady: "Second Aunt, if you want to protect Qingliu, you won't be afraid to get up tomorrow morning.

The courtyard is full of people again, and are there any maids climbing into my second brother’s bed like he did?”

Zhao Jingan, who had been reduced to a supporting role and was quietly hiding at the door to watch the excitement, heard this and quickly retreated in shame, fearing that his brother would condemn him.

"So..." Zhao Jingli paused and his eyes fell on Wei's face again, "Do you still want to insist on not following the rules?"

"I..." Wei was speechless, looking at Zhao Jingli who stood in front of the eldest lady in a protective posture and spoke out to defend her, with a very complicated expression.

The eldest lady looked at this scene and felt very happy - this was exactly what she wanted to see.

When the Wei family gave the child away, did they ever think that one day their own biological child would argue with the Wei family and compete with the Wei family because of the conflict between the eldest and second family members?

The conflict between the eldest wife and the second wife has intensified, and the Wei family may have to face the day when she and Zhao Jingli will fight to the death? If that day comes, what will it be like for her?

But for some reason, while feeling refreshed, there was a dull pain in a corner of Madam's heart.

"Second brother, come out." Zhao Jingli shouted into the room again.

Zhao Jingan still respected this brother very much and knew that he could not avoid this. He walked out of the house slowly and called out in a low voice: "Auntie, mother, brother."

"How do you want to deal with this girl? Should you do it according to the rules of the house, or according to your mother's instructions?" Zhao Jingli asked again.

"Of course, I will follow the rules of the house." Zhao Jingan glanced at Qingliu, who was crying in Nanny Li's arms, and said sternly.

I don’t know whether it’s because his body is underdeveloped or because he’s not mentally enlightened, but he’s not interested in anything between men and women at all.

Because Qingliu is beautiful and likes to hang out with them, his mother once warned him not to touch Qingliu before getting married. She also analyzed in detail the disadvantages of having intercourse and concubines when getting married, so Zhao Jingan was very interested in seducing these people.

The woman has no favorable impression at all.

These maids are really as the story says, they are like wild bees and butterflies. They will not be able to make a living in the back house after marrying them. They will definitely be cuckolded in the future.

And he was not blind. He could clearly see that Qingliu kept making excuses to run to their outer courtyard, but in fact he was looking for Zhao Jingli and not him.

Although he is short and not as handsome as his cousin, he still has dignity.
