Xia Zhuoqin's request is also tenable. Juniors have no right to intervene in matters between elders, let alone forcing the elders to apologize, write a letter of guarantee, and speak out. It is indeed a bit treasonous. But Jinxuan did this for Youshi. Do you want Youshi to bow her head and apologize to others? Then what kind of face does You have?

The balance in the old Marquis's heart was in favor of Jinxuan, and Jinxuan had already invited herself to kneel down in the ancestral hall.

"Chun Yu's daughter-in-law is wrong to do this, but she has a good idea and hopes to put the matter to rest. Now she has taken the initiative to go to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment. I think she will be made to kneel for two hours as punishment."

"Two hours? Master, how can Jinxuan bear such a frail body?" Xia You asked anxiously.

After tonight, she has completely regarded Jinxuan as a confidant. Even her own daughter may not be able to do this for her. Jinxuan has merit but no fault. In order to calm the trouble and wrong herself, the master's intention is enough, and she will be punished for two hours. She firmly disagrees.

"Brother, you are obviously showing support." Xia Zhuoqin was still not satisfied.

Xia Chunyu didn't speak after entering the door. He kept listening. He didn't understand the situation and had no right to speak. He knew that the punishment must be meted out, but two hours was too severe. He had tasted how hard and cold the floor of the ancestral hall was. How could Yaoyao be able to bear it? It's been two-quarters of an hour since they entered the door, and thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.

"Ahem..." Xia Chunyu coughed twice and said slowly: "The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel will retire next year. This vacancy...many people are watching, but with Prince Helian's intervention, there is basically no problem. However, the eldest princess Yide and the old princess are also famous for protecting their shortcomings. If they knew that Jinxuan was punished to kneel because of the third aunt, ahem... I guess the cooked duck would fly away. "

The old Marquis understood it and said deliberately and majestically: "So what if you protect your shortcomings? No matter what the reason is, it is wrong to offend your elders. No one is allowed to intercede. Otherwise, the punishment will be doubled. The third brother's matter will not be dealt with until the next three years." In five years, there will always be a good position.”

Xia Zhuoqin and Zhou looked at each other, they almost forgot that Chunyu's wife was the god-granddaughter of the old princess! Compared with the vacancy of the right minister of the Ministry of official affairs, this grievance is nothing. If it's really because of this, I won't even be able to cry.

Xia Zhuoqin couldn't help but complain about Zhou.

Zhou's face changed quickly: "Brother, we are all a family, and we are still biting our tongues! Chunyu's wife is ignorant. I am the elder, how can the elders argue with the younger ones? Just punish me with a small punishment."

The old man shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, we must abide by the family rules taught by our ancestors."

Xia Youshi already understood that the two fathers and sons were playing a double act, and couldn't help but join in: "Didn't my brother and sister just rightly accuse the second daughter-in-law of being disobedient? Didn't I say that the second daughter-in-law forced you to sign the guarantee letter? She kept saying that she wanted to do it. Does the master uphold justice?"

"Sister-in-law, those are all my angry words. You don't know my temper? My anger comes and goes quickly. I'm not even angry anymore. How bad is it that you are still here and are so stubborn?" Mrs. Zhou He said with a shy smile.

I have no choice but to admit my fault today. The knocked out teeth and blood swallowing must not affect the future of the master, otherwise I will be blamed by the master for the rest of my life.

"It depends on what the third brother means. What others say doesn't matter. The master values ​​brotherhood most." If it hadn't been for my master's insistence, I wouldn't be in today's situation.

Xia Zhuoqin weighed the pros and cons and said unwillingly: "Because Chunyu's wife came in not long ago and doesn't understand the rules, let's forget it this time. I won't be so easy to talk to next time."

The old Marquis waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's just because you have just entered the door that you have to set the rules. How can you just forget about it?"

Xia Zhuoqin was depressed, brother, what's going on? This is not helping him vent his anger, it is hurting him!

He could only calm down and say: "Brother, Chunfeng is about to get married. At this time, our family is at odds. What will the Queen Mother think if word spreads about it? Besides, there is something wrong with Mrs. Zhou, and she will disappear when she is impulsive. You are sensible, you have offended your sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, please apologize to your sister-in-law quickly."

The hatred in Zhou's heart didn't show at all on her face. She smiled and bowed to Xia You again: "Sister-in-law, I can't stay with you anymore."

Xia Youshi said calmly: "Master, since the third uncle has said so, please forgive Jinxuan this time. This is also for the sake of the future of the third uncle. Besides, Jinxuan has been here for more than a month. If only..."

Xia Chunyu's eyes twitched, Mom, you have such a rich imagination.

The corners of Lao Houye's mouth twitched and he said to Chunyu: "Go and ask your wife to get up. You can kneel down without penalty and copy the family rules a hundred times."

Chunyu accepted the order and hurriedly went to the ancestral hall to see his wife, but he didn't realize that there was a little tail following behind him.

Ye Jiayao has been kneeling in the cold ancestral hall for more than half an hour. The first few minutes were fine, but after kneeling for a long time, her knees hurt like needles. The last time Chunli was punished to kneel all night, the pain was terrible. Just imagine. Moreover, it felt eerie here. The portraits of the ancestors above had eyes that were staring at her in a daze, which was really scary.

She knew that Chunyu would find a way to save her, but she wasn't sure what the old marquis's attitude would be. The old marquis valued brotherhood more than anything else.

You won't let her kneel all night, right? He would be crippled by kneeling. Chunli was lame for several days!

There were hurried footsteps outside, and Ye Jiayao could tell it was Chunyu. Only he could be so impatient! But, does he bring good news or bad news?

"Yao Yao." Xia Chunyu entered the ancestral hall and saw Ye Jiayao's thin body kneeling there, feeling as distressed as if she was being gouged with a knife.

"Yao Yao, get up quickly." Xia Chunyu rushed forward to help her.

Ye Jiayao endured the pain and asked, "Who asked you to come?"

"Let's talk after we get up." Xia Chunyu couldn't bear to let her kneel for one more second.

Ye Jiayao said stubbornly: "Let's make it clear first. If you came here privately, then you should go back. There is no need for both of you to catch up."

"Dad asked me to come, or it was uncle and aunt who begged dad to let you go." Xia Chunyu pulled her up.

"Ouch, it hurts..." Ye Jiayao cried out in pain, her legs seemed to be pricked by countless tiny needles, numb and painful.

Xia Chunyu picked her up and said, "Go back and rub the medicine for you. It's so cold, so don't kneel down and get into trouble."

Xia Chunyu turned around and saw Chun Guo standing behind him.

"Chun Guo, why are you here?"

Chun Guo pursed her lips, her nose twitched, and she looked at her second sister-in-law in her second brother's arms with her big, watery eyes.

"Chunguo, are you okay? Father didn't scold you, right?" Ye Jiayao asked with concern.

Chun Guo burst into tears.

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu looked at each other in shock. What's going on?

"Put me down." Ye Jiayao whispered.

Ye Jiayao walked over with difficulty, squatted down with difficulty, wiped Chun Guo's tears, and asked softly: "Chun Guo, what's wrong? What happened? Tell the second sister-in-law, and the second sister-in-law will help you vent your anger."

Chun Guo's tears became more intense. She hugged Ye Jiayao and cried, "Second sister-in-law, it's all Chun Guo's fault. If Chun Guo hadn't said something wrong, Second Sister-in-law wouldn't have been punished to kneel down."

Well, this little guy turns out to be feeling guilty.

Ye Jiayao patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Chunguo, stop crying. Do you know that men don't shed tears easily? You are a boy from the Xia family, so you can't cry."

Chun Guo twitched violently, but her cries were muted.

"Actually, what you said today is correct, but there are some things that we just need to be clear about, and there are some things that we have to keep in our hearts, or tell people we can trust, you know?"

Chun Guo nodded vigorously: "I will only tell my second sister-in-law from now on."

Ye Jiayao smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears: "Okay, from now on, if Chunguo has anything to say, you can come and tell the second sister-in-law. Only the two of us know and we won't tell anyone, okay? Stop crying, we Chunguo He is a handsome kid, but he will not be handsome or cool if he cries all over his face."

"Second sister-in-law, what is cool?" Chun Guo asked innocently.

Ye Jiayao pointed at Xia Chunyu: "How cool, just like your second brother, who has a sullen face all day long with the four characters "Keep strangers away" written on it."

Chun Guo looked at the second brother with disdain and curled his lips and said, "I don't want to be like the second brother."

Xia Chunyu said depressedly: "Chunguo, don't listen to your second sister-in-law's nonsense. That's called majesty, that's called momentum."

Ye Jiayao couldn't help laughing: "Chunguo, let's ignore him. Can you help the second sister-in-law back?"

Chun Guo agreed loudly: "Okay."

He carefully held Ye Jiayao's hand and said to Xia Chunyu: "Second brother, you should also help me. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold her steady by myself."

Xia Chunyu hurriedly came up and held her other hand: "Yaoyao, can you do it? I'd better carry you back."

"It's better for me to walk by myself!" Ye Jiayao limped along. Last time she fell asleep, and Chun Yu even carried her back to the house, but Xia You scolded her.

Xia Chunyu had no choice but to let her go and return to his room. Xia Chunyu asked Song Qi to get some medicinal wine, Qiao Xi went to get hot water, and Jiang Yue helped her roll up her trouser legs.

Although she had only been kneeling for more than half an hour, Ye Jiayao's fair skin had already turned a large amount of red, which looked quite shocking.

Xia Chunyu frowned and said to Chunguo who was standing aside, "Let Song Qi take you back first. It's getting late and you have to go to school tomorrow."

Chun Guo insisted on seeing Ye Jiayao take the medicine before leaving.

Xia Chunyu had no choice but to let him go, poured some medicinal wine into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together to warm them, and said to Ye Jiayao: "It takes a little force to be effective, please bear with it."

In fact, Ye Jiayao was not in so much pain now. After walking a few steps, her blood vessels became smoother, but she would definitely be bruised tomorrow.

"Well, it's okay, just rub it!" Ye Jiayao said bravely.

Damn, you really put so much effort into it! Ye Jiayao took a breath.

Xia Chunyu looked at her worriedly and relaxed a little.

After rubbing the stick of incense for a full time, it was finally done. Only then did Chun Guo obediently follow Song Qi.

Ye Jiayao leaned on the bed, watched Xia Chunyu put away the medicine bottles, and asked, "You said it was the third uncle and the third aunt who asked for mercy from my father? What's going on?"
