Ling Haoyue sat on the edge of Old Madam Ling's bed, put Old Madam Ling's hand into the quilt, and said, "Grandmother, you should pay attention to keeping warm, don't put your hands outside to get cold." โ
Mother Zhou smiled: "Old lady, the doctor said, you must not be cold." โ
Old Madam Ling smiled: "Okay, okay, all of you are housekeepers, so you can't do this or that." โ
Ling Wanrou was unhappy, Old Madam Ling and Ling Haoyue were happy, as long as they were their own ancestors and grandchildren, she was like an outsider.
"Grandmother, you have a second sister, and you have forgotten Rou'er. The words were sour.
"What does the big sister say, who doesn't know that my grandmother has loved the big sister the most since she was a child. Ling Haoyue smiled lightly.
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Ling felt more and more guilty, she had favored Ling Wanrou since she was a child, Ling Haoyue's mother was Princess Anding, although she didn't put on any princess shelf, but her mother-in-law had a lower status than her daughter-in-law, and she was always uncomfortable, and even with Ling Haoyue, the granddaughter who was named the county lord from birth, she didn't like to take care of it. Since Ling Yuma died, she didn't like Ling Haoyue even more, she was still a child, her parents left early, and she didn't know how much she had suffered over the years.
"Yue'er, you are a filial child, the ginseng you gave grandmother likes very much, and grandmother can't take your things for nothing. โ
Old Madam Ling instructed Mother Zhou again: "Mother Zhou, you go and bring the begonia beads and jasper hairpin in my cabinet." โ
Mother Zhou was surprised: "Begonia dripping emerald beads and jasper hairpins! That's your wedding jewelry, old lady." โ
When Ling Wanrou heard this, her face suddenly sank: "Grandmother, you are partial!" Old Madam Ling has been a high-ranking official in her ancestors, she is the only concubine in the family, and when she got married, she also wore ten miles of red makeup, and her dowry jewelry must be an excellent and high-grade product.
Old Madam Ling's face froze, and only after a moment did she say, "Mother Zhou, bring the red coral crocus hairpin next to you and give it to the eldest lady." โ
It is impossible to say in her heart that she does not have the slightest sense of anger, and she does not treat Ling Wanrou lightly on weekdays, why does she have to screw it today.
Rao is like this, Ling Wanrou is still uncomfortable in her heart, and she muttered: "Grandmother, Rou'er knows that she is not as capable as her second sister, and she can give her grandmother a thousand years of ginseng, but Rou'er is also worried about her grandmother's body, and her grandmother comes to serve her when she is sick, but what about her Ling Haoyue, her grandmother is seriously ill, and she still goes to the banquet in the palace, and she is in the limelight!"
Qing Dai watched from the sidelines, why was this Ling Wanrou so unreasonable, obviously she didn't want to be left out in the cold, and she was uncomfortable, so she had to pick the thorn of the county lord.
"Miss, please forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, the county lord has never received the news that the old lady Ling is seriously ill in the palace, or at the banquet in Chaohua Palace, I heard the eldest lady's family talk about it, and I knew that the old lady was seriously ill. The eldest lady said that the county lord was in the limelight in the palace, and the county lord was out of the limelight, but the reason was that he was poisoned and murdered, and his life was almost lost. โ
When Old Madam Ling heard this, she was surprised and said, "What, Yue'er, have you been poisoned, how is your body, but what is the discomfort?"
Ling Haoyue smiled faintly, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's okay, grandmother, fortunately, I found it early, and the poison has been resolved." โ
When Ling Wanrou heard Ling Haoyue, her heart burst with joy, she deserved it, she could think of her escaping again, and she secretly hated in her heart, why didn't she just die!
"It turns out that the second sister couldn't stay in the palace anymore, so she came back. โ
"Wanrou, shut up!" Zhao reprimanded her. At this moment, the old lady is obviously full of admiration, and her eyes are full of distress and can't cover it, at this time, no matter what, in the eyes of the old lady, it is a distortion of the facts.
"Old lady, Rou'er has been babbling gibberish lately, don't be like a child. Zhao confessed to the old lady again.
The old lady glanced at their mother and daughter, turned her face away, looked at Ling Haoyue and said: "Yue'er, it's better to go less to this palace in the future, there are many rights and wrongs in the deep palace, although there is a queen mother, but you can't guard you all the time." โ
Ling Haoyue nodded and said with a smile: "Yue'er knows, grandmother, don't worry, it's not good for your health." โ
"Silly boy, my grandmother has lived for such a long time, and she has nothing else to look forward to, just hope that you little ones will be safe and harmonious. โ
Ling Haoyue smiled silently.
Harmony and harmony, I'm afraid I really can't do it, how can the revenge of killing my father be easily let go!
At this time, Zhou's mother walked in, holding a begonia dripping emerald beads, jasper hairpin and red coral crocus hairpin.
"Come, Yue'er, Rou'er, one of you, grandmother is not partial, these two are my dowry things, just right for your girl's family. โ
Ling Wanrou was urged by Zhao's eyes, Fang Cai Lian moved lightly, and Ping Ting Yuanna stepped forward, pouting and taking the red coral crocus hairpin.
Ling Haoyue didn't answer, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, Yue'er sees that the eldest sister likes this hairpin very much, so let's give it to the eldest sister too." โ
"How can this be!" Old Madam Ling blurted out and explained, "One for each of you sisters, that's all, and then." โ
Ling Haoyue smiled: "Grandmother, you just give it to the eldest sister, Yue'er really doesn't want it." โ
"Thinking about it, the second sister thinks that this begonia dripping emerald beads and jasper hairpin are not worth a thousand-year-old ginseng. The corners of Ling Wanrou's eyebrows were upturned, and her smug expression was overflowing. Ling Haoyue, see how you explain it to the old lady!
Ling Hanyue didn't raise her eyelids, but said lightly: "Big sister, it turns out that you don't like this hairpin, so since that's the case, Mother Zhou, you should take the hairpin back into the box." โ
Old Madam Ling said in a deep voice, "How can you take back the things that have already been taken out." โ
"Then grandmother, you can reward the eldest sister, the eldest sister has served by your bedside for so long, and there is no merit and hard work. โ
When Ling Haoyue said this, it gave the old lady a wake-up call, Ling Wanrou said that she was serving by the bedside, either frowning every day, or complaining about this and that, thinking about the old lady made her feel dizzy.
"Alright, Rou'er, you can take it. Old Madam Ling sighed and said, if this hairpin can be exchanged for a piece of peace, it is worth it.
Ling Wanrou was anxious in her heart, she liked this hairpin well, but when she thought that it was given to her by Ling Haoyue, or that it was given to her, she didn't want it anymore.
"It's not that Rou'er also dislikes grandmother's things for not being worthless!" Old Madam Ling was a little annoyed on her face.
When Ling Wanrou heard this, she secretly screamed in her heart, this was not what she just said about Ling Haoyue, she really lifted a stone and hit her own feet.
Looking at Old Madam Ling's slightly changed face, Ling Wanrou took the hairpin with both hands: "Rou'er thanked Grandmother." โ
Finally cleared, Old Madam Ling breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head to Ling Haoyue and said with a smile: "Yue'er, you really don't want anything? โ
Ling Haoyue said casually: "If grandmother wants to admire Yue'er, how about giving Yue'er a few copies of your collection of unique books? Yue'er used to hear her father say that her grandmother's unique books explain the truth of this world very thoroughly. โ
"Qian'er still said that?" Mrs. Ling smiled slightly, and then smiled, "Yes, your father has loved reading since he was a child, and he always likes to read the ancient books that my father gave me back then, but I didn't expect Yue'er that you also followed your father and liked these, and it is useless for the old woman to keep these, Mother Zhou, take all the books in the box to Yue'er in a while." โ
Yue'er thanked her grandmother. โ
Zhao said with a smile: "Let's Yue'er, this is going to be the female champion." Speaking of which, Chu'er should also read more books, why don't the old lady send a few books to Chu'er?"
Ling Haoyue said with a smile: "Auntie, I can say that the eldest brother has been studying diligently since he was a child, and his knowledge is very praised by the masters, what are you worried about, just wait for the eldest brother to be the top student in high school." โ
Old Madam Ling was also quite satisfied with this eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "Chu'er is also a good child, he likes to read......
Suddenly, something seemed to flash in the old lady's eyes.
After a pause, Fang Cai said: "It's a good thing that Chu'er is talented, but our Guogong Mansion is also a family, he is the respect of the prince, and he will inherit the position of the Guogong in the future, and there are not too many things to add to the cake." He should also go out and walk around appropriately, make more friends with the sons of the family, and enter the court in the future, which is also beneficial. Since the book has been given to Yue'er, he just needs to find Yue'er to borrow it, and he doesn't have to spend too much energy. โ
Zhao smiled: "What the old lady said is that her daughter-in-law is shallow. โ
โฆโฆ
Ling Haoyue exchanged a few more words with the old lady, and seeing that she was already sleepy, she said goodbye and left and went back to Cuizhuyuan. As soon as Ling Haoyue left, Zhao and Ling Wanrou were also sent back.
As soon as Ling Wanrou returned to her courtyard, she began to have seizures, and everything was pleasing to the eye.
The blue and white porcelain vase shattered to the ground! Red Sleeves didn't notice it for a while, and was almost hit on the foot, and suddenly felt a little pain in her foot, and when she looked down, there were pieces of it that fell on her foot, directly cutting her shoes, and the skin on her feet seemed to be also scratched.
Red Sleeves glanced at Ling Wanrou, who was in a state of rage, with a complaining look. Every time the eldest lady is angry, it is these maids who are unlucky.
"Look at what,, I'm upset when I see you, get out!" Ling Wanrou is angry and has nowhere to go, whoever is knocked by her is unlucky.
Redsleeves' eyes were red, and he quickly put away the tears that had been pouring up, and lowered his head and retreated.
"Rou'er, how many times has my mother told you, you are the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, you must be self-contained. Zhao looked at this spoiled daughter with a little headache.
โโ
"Mother, even you say that I am not as good as Ling Haoyue's orphan girl, right?" Ling Wan's soft tears flowed. She had just suffered a lot of grievances in the Yulan Courtyard, and her grandmother, who loved her on weekdays, now only had that Ling Haoyue in her eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You even have to suspect your mother, everything your mother does is not for you!" Zhao Shi heard this, his heart was sour, angry and helpless.
