Chapter 138: No Stalls Allowed

When Aunt Wen heard what the Second Madam said, her eyebrows furrowed.

As a concubine, she shouldn't have contradicted the Second Madam, but she glanced at Dong and saw that she just lowered her eyes and looked at the teacup.

Aunt Wen could only say, "Second Madam, the eldest girl is not ignorant of the rules. When I saw her come back, her face looked a little strange. Maybe she was not feeling well, so she didn't come to pay respects."

Being contradicted by a concubine, the second lady was not very happy, "What do you mean she was not feeling well? I think she was going crazy outside and didn't take us elders seriously."

Aunt Wen was irritated by the second lady's outspokenness, "Second Madam, the eldest girl went to work with the commander of the Jinyiwei. Aren't you afraid that there are ears on the other side of the wall when you say that?"

When Aunt Wen mentioned Ning Chuyi, the silent Tai Madam felt nervous. She looked up at the second Madam and said coldly, "Wen is right. Don't you know who that Lord Ning is? Don't bother to talk nonsense. If you cause any trouble, the Ling Mansion will not let you stay."

Being scolded by the Tai Madam, the second Madam felt blocked in her heart. She didn't understand why everyone still defended Ling Chu when they obviously didn't like her.

She was angry, but the second wife didn't dare to say anything more. She was still afraid of those Jinyiwei who were omnipresent.

Although she didn't dare to contradict the old lady, the second wife didn't take Aunt Wen seriously.

"Wen, I was just worried that Chu Jie'er had forgotten the rules and etiquette, so I mentioned it. The eldest sister-in-law hasn't said anything yet, and you are so anxious that people who don't know would think you are Chu Jie'er's mother."

She was scolded by the old lady, and the two wives and concubines in the first room couldn't have an easy time.

Dong was angry, "Don't worry about my first room. I will teach Chu Jie'er the rules and etiquette."

She turned to Aunt Wen again, "Chu Jie'er has me as her mother, you should pay more attention to Wei Ge'er and Yao Jie'er. If you can't teach them well, I will teach them as their mother."

Aunt Wen was angry, she spoke for Ling Chu, not for their first room. It would be fine if Dong didn't appreciate it, but she even threatened her with the child.

But even though she was angry, Aunt Wen didn't want to confront Dong, the principal wife, because of Ling Chu.

Ling Wei and Ling Yao were her weak points. Although she was Dong's biological mother, she was only a concubine. If Dong wanted to use the two children as a raft, she could do nothing about it.

The Third Madam saw that the Second Madam and Wen had shut up, and she curled her lips.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that Chu Jieer has been setting up a stall in the Imperial Street to tell fortunes for others recently. Is this true? Although our family has no money now, Chu Jieer is a girl. If she goes to the Imperial Street to show her face, how can her reputation be good if this gets out?"

The old lady was stunned, "Yu, is Chu Jieer really setting up a stall in the Imperial Street to tell fortunes?"

"I passed by the Imperial Street earlier and heard that there was a Taoist nun who was very effective in fortune-telling. I wanted to find her to tell my husband's future. But I went there at the wrong time, and the Taoist nun just packed up her stall and left.

I looked at the back from a distance and felt that she looked like Chu Jieer. I didn't believe it was her at first, so I asked others about it. But according to the appearance described by the old woman, I think it's almost the same as Chu Jieer."

After a pause, the third lady turned to Dong, "Sister-in-law, do you know about this? Is Chu Jieer really setting up a stall in the Imperial Street?"

The eldest lady She shook her head with a stern face, "I haven't heard Chu Jieer mention that she's going to set up a stall. The mansion has been in a mess these days, and Brother Hao is not in good health, so I haven't been able to take care of her for a while. I thought Chu Jieer had just returned to Beijing, and she just wanted to go out for a walk and get familiar with Kyoto."

"What, Chu Jieer, a girl, is going to set up a stall on the Imperial Street to tell fortunes? It's not enough that she has ruined her own reputation, but she also wants to implicate her brothers and sisters at home? It's not that I, as the second aunt, look down on her. Although Chu Jieer has lived in Xuanqing Temple for more than ten years, the Taoist magic is not so easy to learn.

If there is any mistake in her fortune-telling, it will be fine if others regard her as a swindler. If she offends some powerful family, I'm afraid that the dozens of lives of our family will not be enough to compensate them."

Although the second wife's words are not very pleasant, it is not impossible.

The old lady knocked the teacup in her hand heavily on the table, "Mrs. Dong, have someone call Sister Chu over."

"Yes, mother."

The eldest lady was furious and immediately ordered the maid to find Ling Chu.

Ling Chu drank the medicine and took a nap. When she woke up, she heard that the old lady had sent a maid to pass on the message. She didn't think much about it and asked Xia Zhi to call the maid in.

"Miss, the old lady asked you to go to the flower hall to answer."

Ling Chu was surprised. Didn't the old lady, like everyone else, taboo her fate? Why did she specifically ask her to ask questions?

Although puzzled, Ling Chu didn't think much about it. She got up and followed the maid to the main courtyard.

When she stepped into the main hall, she saw everyone staring at her, and Ling Chu frowned slightly.

What happened?

It looked like a trial.

Ling Chu thought she had done nothing wrong. After paying respect to the Madam, she found a seat and sat down without waiting for her to ask her to sit down.

The Second Madam sneered. This disaster star had been back in Beijing for so long, but he still didn't know the rules at all.

The Madam felt uncomfortable and said in a deep voice, "Chu Jie'er, I heard that you set up a stall on the Imperial Street to tell fortunes. Is that true?"

Ling Chu raised her eyebrows. Did she come to ask her about this?

"Yes, I did set up a stall on the Imperial Street."

Seeing her admit it directly without hiding anything, the old lady frowned, "You are the eldest daughter of our Ling Mansion. How can you show up in public without the consent of the elders?"

"The old lady is right, young lady, why did you set up a stall without telling everyone? It's really unruly." The second lady looked proud. This damn girl brought shame to the family, and she didn't believe that the old lady would not punish her.

Ling Chu glanced at the second wife and said calmly, "You didn't ask me either."

"Such a big thing, do you need others to ask? You should have taken the initiative to inform the elders. Although you have lived in Xuanqing Temple for more than ten years, the Taoist magic can't be calculated by just pinching your fingers.

You, a girl, go to set up a stall. Others will scold us Ling Mansion for being greedy for money and letting you, a girl, go out to cheat!

You are not only ruining your own reputation, how can you let everyone face people in the future?"

"Chu Jie'er, from tomorrow on, you are not allowed to go out to set up a stall without my consent. In the past, you were in Xuanqing Temple, and the rules were lax. But this is Kyoto, you have reached the age of marriage, and you should learn the rules and etiquette."

Dong was furious. She really didn't expect this damn girl to go to the Imperial Street to set up a stall.

She would never allow this damn girl to ruin Qing'er's reputation.
