Chapter 177 The momentum of the eldest lady of Jinghaihou Mansion(2/2)
Only then did Sister Lan take the people away with satisfaction. The old woman whined there for a while before someone saw her and helped her loosen her bonds.
The old lady immediately ran to Mrs. Yuan of the Earl's Mansion and cried like a mourner: "Madam, you must make the decision for me."
Mrs. Yuan was very angry when she saw her miserable appearance. It depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that this is Earl Zhongqin's mansion: "Who dares to be so wanton?"
The old woman pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall. She was a girl about four years old, with several guards behind her. She didn't take the Earl's Mansion seriously at all. The old slave just refused to let them enter the backyard, so they were beaten like this.
.
"Ancestral hall?" Mrs. Yuan was angry and anxious when she heard this. The ancestral hall is the most important place in the family. What if someone disturbs the ancestors' spirits and does not protect her eldest son? Hurry and take people there.
At this time, Sister Lan had already arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall. There were two rough messengers and women who were holding hands, but they were easily eliminated by the guards.
After the guard pushed open the door, Sister Lan climbed over the high threshold with her short legs.
In the originally dark ancestral hall, Sister Zhuang was huddled in Hua Lan's arms. When she heard a noise outside the door, she turned around and saw Sister Lan walking slowly out of the brilliance.
"Sister Zhuang'er, didn't we make an appointment to go to the temple fair? Won't you go with me?" Sister Lan said aggrievedly.
Sister Zhuang burst into tears: "I'm sorry, sister Lan'er, I made my grandmother angry today and was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall. I can't go to the temple fair with you."
Hua Lan's nose felt sore and she almost cried. It was because she was a useless mother and couldn't protect her daughter.
She knew very well that the reason Mrs. Yuan used an excuse to punish them to kneel in the ancestral hall was because she heard that Sister Zhuang had made an appointment with Miss Jinghaihou to visit the temple fair today.
Mrs. Yuan has always been partial to her eldest son, and she will stick to her eldest son first if she wants anything good. In addition, her eldest daughter-in-law is her niece, so she is afraid that her second brother-in-law will steal her eldest son's property, so she tries every means to suppress her second brother-in-law.
Naturally, she didn't want to see her second wife becoming friendly with the Marquis of Jinghai, which would undoubtedly threaten her eldest son's status, so she found an excuse early in the morning to punish Hualan and her daughter by kneeling in the ancestral hall.
Mrs. Yuan brought people to the ancestral hall and saw Sister Lan, a four-year-old baby. She felt relieved. Fortunately, there were no adults following her, otherwise she would not have dared to confront the Jinghai Marquis Mansion.
"Hua Lan, Sister Zhuang, you are so brave. You made a mistake and asked you to kneel in the ancestral hall. You actually dared to break into the ancestral hall with others and disturbed the heroic spirits of your ancestors. Can you afford the punishment?"
Hua Lan shivered with fright. With this unfilial hat on her face, she, the mother-in-law, had a handle on her and could ask Yuan Wenshao to divorce her at any time with a divorce letter.
"You screamed as soon as you came in. If you want to disturb the ancestors' spirits, you should be the one who disturbed them, right?"
Mrs. Yuan's expression changed and she looked for a voice, but she found Sister Lan with her hands on her hips and staring at her with a pair of round eyes.
"Who are you? I haven't held you accountable for breaking into the ancestral hall!" Mrs. Yuan asked with a stern face.
Sister Lan walked up to Mrs. Yuan with her hands behind her back and her short legs, and said solemnly.
"My father is the Marquis of Jinghai, General Huaihua, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, Deputy Privy Councilor... My mother is the second-grade imperial concubine, who do you think I am?"
It's funny to say that the reason why Sister Lan remembers so many of Qin Hao's official positions is mainly because of what others said when they flattered her. This child inherited Qin Hao's good memory, and she remembered it the more people said it.
This series of official positions and titles instantly made Earl Zhongqin and everyone dizzy. Take out any of these official positions and no one can compete with Earl Zhongqin.
Mrs. Yuan also gave up a little, but in front of so many servants, if she was frightened by a three or four-year-old girl, how could she have the dignity to go out in the future?
"So what? Marquis Jinghai's family members have no reason to forcefully break into other people's ancestral halls, right?"
Sister Lan snorted: "Who told you to lock up Sister Zhuang'er and Aunt Hua Lan and not let them play with me, you bad guy!"
Mrs. Yuan almost vomited blood on the spot. She thought she was being reasonable, but this little kid refused to reason with her.
Hua Lan listened and wanted to laugh. After so many years, she finally saw her mother-in-law suffer a day.
Sister Zhuang looked at Sister Lan with admiration. She was a grandmother who always found excuses to punish her and her mother. Now someone finally could restrain her.
While they were talking, Count Zhongqin also came. He was furious when he heard that someone broke into the ancestral hall without permission. When he came over, he saw that it was a little girl.
When he heard the reason for the incident, he immediately gave Mrs. Yuan a hard look.
"Since Sister Zhuang has an appointment with Miss Jinghaihou, let's go."
Sister Lan was not satisfied: "There is also Aunt Hualan."
Earl Zhongqin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed loudly: "Okay, Hua Lan, you can go too."
"Thank you father."
"Thank you, grandpa."
Sister Lan was happy. She took Sister Zhuang and Hua Lan's hands and walked out of the ancestral hall together.
