Chapter 408: Lord Bai scolds his grandson's wife

Occasionally, she would flip through a storybook or read a joke book. Days passed quickly. Hualei was very happy and comfortable.

However, a violent storm was going on in the Dingxi Marquis's mansion. Of course, the ones who were experiencing the violent storm were the gossipy grandsons' wives.

"Bang", a teacup was smashed into pieces.

"Daughter-in-law Yunshan, this is what you did. As the eldest daughter-in-law of our Dingxi Marquis's Mansion, you are two-faced, sweet-mouthed, and treacherous. You gossip about others behind their backs. Is this what you did?

And you guys, where are the propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame you learned? Where are the female virtues and female precepts you learned? Huh? Have you learned them all?" The old Marquis Bai, who was sitting at the top, was so angry that he threw the teacup in his hand.

"Grandfather, don't be angry. We know we were wrong and we won't do it again." The five women kneeling below kowtowed in unison to admit their mistakes.

"All day long, you don't do your work, but go around talking about other people behind their backs? You're making a lot of money in the wool sweater business, but you're holding back on the money and not following the law? A woman who hangs out with men, coming in and out without any rules, will no man want her in the future?

Yunshan's wife, tell me, is this how you were raised as the eldest granddaughter of the Minister of Rites? Is this how your grandfather, the Minister of Rites, taught you?

"The money for the wool sweater was not given because Yun He asked not to give it. What does it have to do with Miss Hua? As the agricultural director of the Agriculture Bureau appointed by His Majesty, she is responsible for growing corn. You want her to stay at home? Are you questioning the laws of the Great Sheng Dynasty? Are you questioning His Majesty?"

"No, Grandfather, I was wrong. I definitely didn't mean that. Grandfather, I won't dare to do it again." A woman wearing a pomegranate red silk jacket on the ground kept admitting her mistakes.

"You don't dare. You have said this to Yunshan's mother more than once, right? As a grandfather, I shouldn't interfere in the affairs of your family. As long as it's almost the same, I will just turn a blind eye and let it go.

I didn't expect that you really don't know how to restrain yourself, and you are getting more and more rampant? You even dare to question the law and the emperor. If I don't take care of it, I guess you won't even know your name.

You think you are at a disadvantage because the sweater business is not put into the public domain, and you think you are missing out on the 70% you deserve, so you start to make up stories? Why don't you think about what you have already gained?

If you didn't cooperate with Miss Hua in the wool sweater business, would you have spent nothing on the wool sweaters you wore and the wool quilts you covered yourself with at night? Did Yunhe ever take a penny from you? Was there any time when it wasn't recorded in his account?

Even your mother's, your sisters', and your sisters' wool sweaters and quilts are all recorded in Yunhe's account. Why don't you settle this account?

Besides, Miss Hua's farm has been supplying all kinds of supplies needed in Western Xinjiang to your father-in-law, your husband, and your uncle. You will say that we paid for these and it is not Miss Hua's credit.

But why don't you think of it? We have a farm and grow all kinds of vegetables and crops. If you think of it first, we don't need to spend extra money, right?

You married Yunshan, but have you ever thought about what Yunshan does every day in Xijiang, what he eats, and how he lives? Does Yunshan eat well? Does he sleep well? Have you ever cared about him? No!

But Miss Hua had an idea. Because the soldiers in Xinjiang didn't have enough to eat, she gave me the recipes for fried rice and fried noodles for free, and gave me lotus root powder to prevent the soldiers in Xinjiang from having diarrhea.

Thinking of the soldiers in Xinjiang who couldn't sleep well, she made me moxa sticks and moxa incense pills to drive away mosquitoes and insects for the soldiers at night so that they could sleep well. You? What did you do? Nothing!

Just on this point, Miss Hua is the noble lady of our Dingxi Marquis Mansion, the noble lady of your father-in-law and your husband, but you are here to say irresponsible things about Miss Hua and spread rumors. Do you think what you did is right?

Also, Miss Hua grew corn seeds that were not available in the Great Sheng Dynasty, which can provide so many people with enough food and clothing. You may not know how great a contribution this is.

That's right, you short-sighted fools who only focus on your own pots and are afraid that you will take less will never consider these things. "Looking at the kneeling granddaughters-in-law, Lord Bai was furious.

"My Lord..." An old lady in her sixties sitting nearby glanced at Lord Bai with disapproval.

"Do you think I was wrong to scold her? Or was I too harsh? I chose her because I thought she was smart, capable, knowledgeable and well-educated.

But look at what she has done now? She is self-righteous and stupid, and has even led the others astray. If she doesn't scold them, the Dingxi Marquis's mansion will soon be in trouble.

She still looked down on Miss Hua and dared to maliciously slander her behind her back. Does she have the face to do this? Does she have the qualifications? You know that the words she spreads can be big or small. Doesn't she know?

You have to know that Miss Hua was personally chosen by His Majesty. Anyone who dares to question this is questioning His Majesty. If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of her, do you think we at Dingxi Marquis Mansion will have a good ending?

She really thinks she is so great. Bah! "I don't know if it was because he had phlegm in his throat or something, but Lord Bai spat on the ground in an uncivilized manner.

The faces of the people kneeling on the ground were as pale as paper. However, the next words of Lord Bai made them burst into tears.

"Butler Bai, send someone to send Yunshan's wife back to the Shangshu Mansion this afternoon, and let Shangshu Yang teach Yunshan's wife well. If she can't be taught well, don't send her back..."

“Grandfather, don’t, I…I…” the woman in the pomegranate red silk jacket cried.

"My Lord, you..." The old lady next to him wanted to interrupt again. However, Lord Bai did not even stop talking and continued.

"Also, when you send supplies to Western Xinjiang on the 16th day of the first lunar month, send Yunhu's wife with you. I'll let her do nothing all day and gossip about others behind their backs.

After she gets there, let her help out in the barracks mess and see if she still has time to gossip about others. If she still has time, I don't even need to scold her. The soldiers from Western Xinjiang can drown her with a mouthful of spit."

"Grandfather, I...Xiaobao is only two years old, can't he live without me?" A girl in a cherry red satin jacket with cloud pattern cried.

"If I continue to let you take care of him, I'm worried that you'll teach him bad things. It's good that you're leaving. I'll send someone to educate him." Lord Bai continued without changing his expression.

"Send Yunhui's wife to the farm in the water hole and let her help plant vegetables and raise chickens and ducks. If she dares to complain about Miss Hua's body odor, I will let her smell it every day and she will get used to it."
