Chapter 315: Cross-examination
The eldest lady waited all night in makeup, but what she was waiting for was Cai's mother's return, saying that the old lady's condition was repeated, and the eldest lady was worried, so he decided to be on duty outside, in case anything happened to the old lady, and he would not return to the eldest lady at night.
When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately reached out and threw all the gold, silver, pearls, and jade hairpins on her head to the ground, leaned straight on the back of the chair and panted, and shouted with hatred: "This dead old woman is angry with me!"
Cai's mother stood aside with her hands down, she was used to seeing the eldest lady's posture, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it. Seeing the broken gold and silver beads on the ground, as well as the broken hosta, I felt a little distressed, thinking that since the eldest lady didn't want it, it was broken anyway, and I would pick it up and sell it to those gold and silver shops, and I could make a few dollars. Thinking like this, she was not in a hurry to persuade her, and quietly watched from the sidelines, hoping in her heart that the eldest lady would be as angry as possible, so that she would earn more money.
Finally waited for the eldest lady to stop, and Cai's mother glanced at Qing Ju who was standing below. Qing Ju immediately understood, and tiptoed to pack up the things on the ground and go down.
The eldest lady wore a cloak of tears, and her face turned red after a fire. Cai's mother took a step forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Madame, don't be angry, this old man is really, he has been away from home for so many days, he hasn't even written a letter, he has returned home after a long absence, and he doesn't stay with Madame, is there any Mrs. in this eye?"
When the eldest lady heard this, she only felt that her chest was even more depressed, and her eyes fell on the teapot and teacup on the table, and she was about to attack again. Cai's mother hurriedly said: "But madam, please think about it, don't you want the old lady to have an accident the most." It's best to stay on the couch all day and can't do anything. If this thing is finally done, as for other things. On the contrary, they are all secondary. ”
The eldest lady glanced at Cai's mother suspiciously, and then thought about what she said seriously, and felt that it was not unreasonable. In fact, the first task at present is to make the old lady delirious, and not let the old lady know about her daughter and the second son of the Wumuhou Mansion. Now that the old lady is doing as she wishes, she should be happy. As for the big man, it has always been. She didn't like him, she married him out of necessity, and it didn't matter if she didn't conceive his child. She's just used to being an obedient husband. One day this husband was disobedient, she just felt unaccustomed, so she lost her temper.
Now in this situation, I seem to have put the cart before the horse. Handle all these details. I forgot what was important.
The eldest lady regained her clarity: "Mother Cai, you are right, I have forgotten my identity, I am not only the wife of the Marquis of Yuanning Mansion, I am also the mother of three children, I should really think more about the three of them, and think more carefully for them." ”
Mother Cai knew about this persuasion, and finally persuaded the eldest lady to think about it. decided to remind me again: "Madam, that Sister Fang's matter." It needs to be resolved as soon as possible. In case the old lady comes to her senses one day, and Mother Du says something that leaks her mouth, according to the old lady's fiery temperament, how can she tolerate Sister Fang to do things that she has to do privately with other men outside the house?
The eldest lady's face twitched, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This is my daughter, she dares that old thing!"
Mother Cai shook her head: "Big lady, you have been in the mansion for so many years, don't you know the old lady's temperament? However, if you do something detrimental to the interests of Yuanning Hou, even if it is your own granddaughter, you don't talk about it, isn't Miss Seven a bloody example?"
The eldest lady endured it and said, "Mother Cai, you go over to see if Sister Fang is asleep, just say that I am not feeling well, let her come over and take a look." ”
Cai's mother went down in response.
In the Falling Moon Pavilion, the second lady Gu Yuanfang was leaning on the beauty couch, leaning on her side, watching Cuihuan, Liu Xiang and others sitting on the embroidered stool doing their work.
Cuihuan and Liu Xiang's embroidery skills were good, so Gu Yuanfang asked the two of them to embroider wedding robes for themselves. The red notice alludes to the festive robe, embroidered with lifelike patterns, Gu Yuanfang looked at it, but thought about the day he got married, and couldn't help but laugh sweetly.
"Miss, are you in such a hurry to marry yourself off?" Liu Xiang teased.
Gu Yuanfang blushed and snorted: "What are you talking about, isn't this a word? Besides, the matchmaker who proposed marriage has not yet come to the door, even if it is a marriage, it will take more than half a year to prepare for it, alas, it is really tiring." ”
Speaking of this, Gu Yuanfang pretended to sigh, in fact, she was already happy in her heart.
"So, Miss doesn't want to get married? Liu Xiang Cuihuan and the two teased in unison.
"You ......" Gu Yuanfang was anxious and impatient, and he had to tear their mouths when he got down.
At this time, someone outside reported: "Cai's mother is here." ”
Gu Yuanfang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look outside. At this hour, it will be time to rest in half an hour, and my mother will look for herself at this time. For what?
Mother Cai came in, and as soon as she saw Gu Yuanfang, she immediately said, "Second Miss, you better go over and take a look, Mrs. said that she had a bad headache." ”
Hearing that her mother was sick, Gu Yuanfang immediately said, "Is my mother sick? Is she seriously ill? Have you invited a doctor? I'll go over and take a look." ”
Cai's mother carried a lantern to lead the way, and Gu Yuanfang hurriedly walked towards Juping Courtyard with Liu Xiang.
When he arrived at the inner room, as soon as he entered, Gu Yuanfang saw the eldest lady lying on the couch with her face facing in, not moving. She couldn't help but be startled, hurriedly rushed in, leaned over on the side of the couch and whispered, "Mother, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?
After a long while, the eldest lady turned around and barely stood up, and Cai's mother hurriedly went over, helped her up, and took a half-used pillow and put it behind her.
Gu Yuanfang looked at it fixedly, and saw that her mother's eyes were red and swollen, and there were still residual tears on her face, so she couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly looked at Cai's mother: "Mother, what's wrong?"
The eldest lady glanced at Cai's mother, and Cai's mother immediately understood, and sent the girls in the house, including Liu Xiang, who was brought by the second lady, outside, while she guarded at the door, and no one was allowed to enter.
The eldest lady held Gu Yuanfang's hand tightly and said sadly: "Fang'er, you must fight for our big house." ”
Gu Yuanfang was inexplicable: "Mother, what do you want to say?"
The eldest lady glanced at her, considered the words for a while, and then said carefully: "Fang'er, don't you like the prince?"
Gu Yuanfang's heart skipped a beat, she raised herself in a little panic, glanced at the eldest lady, then turned her gaze away, tried her best to stabilize her mind and said, "Mother, why do you ask like this?"
The eldest lady looked at her daughter and sighed deeply: "In the past few days, I have heard a few girls below who are talking about the person that the second lady really likes is not the prince, so the fourth lady has a chance now, and so on, I have let these girls go out of the house." I think my wish since I was a child is to marry the crown prince and become the crown princess, so how can I not like the crown prince? But as the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and I, as a mother, also have some ups and downs in my heart, so I came to you to ask. (To be continued.) )
