Mother Du suddenly raised her head and looked at the old lady: "Could it be ...... The old lady suspects that the second lady's thing was done by Dafang?"

The old lady shook her head: "Not really. Do you think, the four girls in the second room are so shrewd, if it is really the hands and feet of the big room, how can the four girls not notice it? But I can see from the performance of the daughter-in-law of the big house today, she seems to be ...... It seems to have been prepared for a long time. ”

Mother Du nodded: "The old lady said very much, the slave maid also saw that the eldest lady was a little wrong, and as soon as the old lady talked about the congratulatory gift, the eldest lady immediately said that she was also prepared, which really has to be suspicious." However, the slave maid thought that if she looked at it from the perspective of the eldest lady, this matter seemed to be reasonable. ”

The old lady said "oh?".

Mother Du continued: "Old lady, think about it, the eldest lady has been running the house for a long time, and she is shrewd, but whatever the old lady can think of, the eldest lady can think of you." Now you have given the second lady the power to preside over the middle feed in the house. The second lady is shallow and can't see things in the long run, and it is reasonable for the eldest lady to make some preparations in advance to cope with unexpected needs. ”

The old lady's eyes slanted towards Mother Du: "You say that, do you also agree with what I just said?"

Mother Du smiled: "The slave doesn't dare to say that." The slave just followed the old lady's meaning and guessed randomly. ”

The old lady said with a straight face: "You really didn't guess randomly, if you say that this matter was completely done by the eldest daughter-in-law, even I don't believe it." However, if the eldest daughter-in-law was not involved in the whole thing. Who will believe it?"

Mother Du raised her head: "What the old lady means, the slave is dull and can't understand it." ”

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "The second daughter-in-law has shallow eyes. She is a well-known fact that she does not know how to maintain lacquerware. Who would doubt that if the lacquer plate was broken in her hands? But the question is, what is the second daughter-in-law doing with that lacquerware in a good manner? According to her old temperament, she doesn't know what she doesn't understand. Wouldn't she rather play the leaf card?"

Mother Du nodded and said, "The old lady is right, and the slave maid is also thinking it is strange." The second lady didn't understand the maintenance of lacquerware, and she had every reason not to pay attention to it. Besides, there is no need to take care of this freshly made lacquerware. ”

The old lady sneered, "According to common sense, who would break a good piece of lacquerware? There is no need to clean it either. Unless ......"

Hearing the old lady say this, Du's mother suddenly understood: "The old lady means ......"

The old lady straightened up and looked at the cup of mulberry chrysanthemum tea on the table, Mother Du immediately picked it up, put it to her hand, and said, "Old lady, it's late autumn, let's drink less of this mulberry tea." ”

The old lady took a sip. sighed and said: "Today's incident, the more I think about it, the more angry it becomes." If you don't drink it, you can't do it. ”

Mother Du persuaded: "Actually, even if the eldest lady did something wrong, she still thought about the Yuanning Hou Mansion in her heart. As far as today's matter is concerned, won't she also keep a back hand? At least it won't make the Yuanning Marquis Mansion lose face in front of the Queen Mother. In the future, if Sister Fang can ascend to the position of the crown princess and then be promoted to the queen, then our Yuanning Marquis Mansion will be the icing on the cake. ”

The old lady's face showed a helpless look: "It is precisely for this reason that our brother who became a first-class general needs to be relied upon, so I have always turned a blind eye to what she does, but this can't be a joke about the life of the second daughter-in-law!"

Mother Du thought for a while and said, "Do you want the slave to find an opportunity to remind the eldest lady?"

The old lady nodded: "It is necessary to give the eldest daughter-in-law a wake-up call, you go and tell her that everything must have a degree, beyond the bottom line of my old woman, it will not be so easy to speak." ”

Du's mother nodded in response.

The old lady said again: "Today's matter, I will forget it." After he finds the dart, you will bring him the letter written by Imperial Doctor Hu, so it will be bigger. ”

Mother Du responded again, and when she saw that the old lady looked tired, she ordered the purple spoon to come in and wait for the old lady to rest.

In the evening, the old lady woke up and sent someone to the second room to inquire about the news. The report said that the second lady drank the medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hu and seemed to be in better condition. The fourth lady was frightened, but she still looked very scared, she couldn't see anyone, and she screamed loudly when she saw a stranger come in.

The old lady sighed and said, "Do evil!"

He commanded his subordinates to take care of their mother and daughter, and to take whatever they needed in the storehouse.

After dinner, the eldest man also came back and went directly to see the old lady.

When the old lady saw him come in, she hurriedly asked, "How is the matter going?"

The eldest man looked like he was really busy for his brother, wiped his sweat and said: "Things are going well, I went to the staff and told him briefly about the matter, and he immediately agreed, and then we quickly went to find the dart head of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and it happened that the man had nothing to do at hand, so he took over our affairs." After dinner today, we set off. If it's fast, one round trip every four days, it's about the same. ”

The old lady said happily: "Amitabha, the second daughter-in-law is saved." ”

The eldest man took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "Mother, don't worry, the second brother's business is my business, and I will do it for the second brother." ”

The old lady's eyes flashed, fell on the eldest master, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Boss, are you really thinking about your second brother?"

The eldest man raised his head in amazement, looked at the old lady, and suddenly understood, and his face showed embarrassment: "Why does my mother ask like this? The second brother is my younger brother, and now that something has happened to him, I, as an elder brother, of course have to do my best to consider him." ”

The old lady sighed, "It's best if you think so." ”

The eldest man gritted his teeth and said, "Mother has something to say, but the son understands what Mother means. In this house, the second brother is my own brother no matter what he says, and my second brother and sister-in-law are also my own brother and daughter-in-law, so how can I ignore her and ignore her safety! If anyone intends to cause harm, I will be the first to refuse!"

The old lady relieved her heart and sighed: "Boss, now that your daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, it is not good for me to be too harsh as a mother-in-law." What's more, your daughter-in-law is nearly forty, and this birth is very dangerous, and I am afraid of hurting the child, and I dare not accuse her in front of her. There is nothing you can't say between your husband and wife, talk about your daughter-in-law at the right time, and keep the peace in this house, and I, an old woman, will be at ease, and I won't have to blame myself so much when I go underground to see your father in the future. ”

The eldest man's face was flushed, although the old lady said it very tactfully, but he himself knew that most of the unrest in this house was caused by his arrogant daughter-in-law.

However, what can he do? He has a brother of a first-class general, whose family background and status are above him, and if she can marry her, she can be regarded as marrying up and down, so what else do you want?

The old lady sighed again and said, "Son, I know the grievances in your heart, and my mother has not been happy when she sees you all these years. If your mother had fulfilled your request and asked you to marry Lejia......"

The eldest lord raised his head suddenly: "Mother, what are you talking about! If the mother has nothing else to do, then the son will retire first." ”

The old lady sighed deeply and shook her head: "You go back." ”

The old man slowly stepped back, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the old man's back, the old lady's brows frowned even tighter. (To be continued......)
