Chapter 45: The Mansion

Saitama took a break from serving her grandmother and returned to her room, where she lived in a small hug house adjacent to the Shen family's main house. The furniture and layout in the room are the same as when she lived six years ago, but the mattress has been replaced with a new one, and the hot charcoal basin in the middle of the floor reflects the warmth of people's hearts.

The old lady lay on the bed and rested for a while, but she couldn't sleep when she was old, and when she heard the maid report that Saitama had slept, she was reluctant to wake her up again, so she started gossiping with Mother Sun next to her.

"The old lady can rest assured, the second lady has finally come back safely. "Because in terms of big rankings, Sai Ying is the eldest lady, so Saitama has become the second lady.

"This child's life is miserable, she has no mother, and she has such a stepmother, it's really difficult for her. ”

"It's not the greatest blessing for the second miss to have the old lady to protect her, and as the saying goes, first bitter and then sweet, the second miss will be blessed in the future. ”

"I will not be able to protect her one day, and finding a good in-law is fundamental. ”

"Then this time the second lady is back, you can take her to show her face in the capital, and ensure that the matchmaker will break the door. ”

"Look at what you say, and it will make me happy. ”

Not to mention that Zhang's mansion set up a banquet for the second room to catch the wind, but only that Mrs. Li returned to the Guogong Mansion after breaking up with the Wang family that day. The gate of the mansion had already been opened, and the second lady of Li, Shi, was already waiting in front of the door, and Mrs. Li saw Shi's chin and smiled, and Shi took two steps to catch up with Lian.

"During the time when I was not at home, it was really hard to bother my younger siblings to take care of the house for me. Lian said this, but there was no sense of gratitude in his heart.

"Whatever my sister-in-law says, it's all my own family, what's the trouble. Sister-in-law, let's go into the house and rest. Li Duan on the side also bowed and saw Shi's. The group entered the room, Lian sat down directly in the right position, and Shi sat on a chair in his hand. The maid had already served hot tea, and Lian took a sip of tea and asked slowly:

"I was thinking that I would come back in a few days, but who knew that my illness had been delayed for so long. ”

"Is Mrs. Hou's aftermath going well?"

"Well, but I didn't see the old man for the last time. There was some sadness in Lian's voice.

"Sister-in-law mourns, and the old lady is also happy. Lian nodded slightly, and then asked:

"What about Grandpa Guo, who is in charge of eating and living?"

"Grandpa Guo's affairs have been handed over to Aunt Liao, and she is still cautious. ”

"How's my daughter-in-law?"

"It's okay, but my appetite hasn't been very good lately, and I'm too lazy to move, and the delivery date is just these days. ”

"Alas, it is not a peace of mind. Li Duan, who was sitting on the side, heard his mother talking to the second aunt in such a tone, as if asking the housekeeper, he felt that it was very inappropriate, so he diverted the conversation.

"Second aunt, second brother. ”

"He didn't know that you came back and went out today, saying that a new team was invited from King Fu's Mansion to listen to the play. Li Duan was a little unhappy when he heard it,

"This second brother is really, the king of Nafu has been chanting the wind and the moon all day long, the emperor is very unwelcome, why do you want to mix together, I said it a few times, he didn't listen. When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately said:

"That's it, Brother Yi is not young, and he has to learn to share his uncle's and brother's worries, he always runs around like this all day long, it's really ignorant. ”

"Second aunt, why don't you let the second brother go to the camp with me from tomorrow to experience the experience, and it will save him from hanging out like this and accidentally getting into trouble when making friends. Although Li Duan said it was a discussion, his tone was unquestionable.

"Forget it, Brother Yi'er, where is a weak scholar going to do, don't have anything to do yet, but it's delaying your business. But then again, brother and sister, it's not me who said you, your mother is really deserved, take care of Brother Yi'er, don't mess around with those fox friends and dog friends all day long, so big people don't know anything. Lian was afraid that Li Duan really wanted to help Li Yi, so he hurriedly stopped him. Shi's temperament has always been gentle and indifferent, and she didn't bother to refute it when she heard others accuse her son, anyway, in her mind, her son is the best, what does it matter what others say. But these words were heard clearly by Li Yi, who had just come back outside the door, and he clenched his fists and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Again, once again openly humiliating himself and his mother, since he was a child, he has seen this scene countless times, how long will he have to endure it? He really can't contain his anger, but he has to hide his emotions. Standing outside the door, he calmed down, changed his smile and walked in,

"Yo, why did you hear my aunt mention my name just now, what's the matter? After speaking, he saluted Lian's, and Lian's said bad things behind his back, but he was a little embarrassed to be broken.

"It's nothing, your aunt just said why she didn't see you. Shi hurriedly covered up for Lian.

"Second brother, why are you mixed with King Fu again, my brother has told you many times, the Holy Lord is very dissatisfied with King Fu, if you are too deeply involved with him, it will inevitably harm our country's mansion. ”

"Yes, my brother knows, and he will be careful in the future. It's just that sometimes King Fu invites him, and his brother can't help but go. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, if you don't go to the camp with me to practice, you won't have to wander outside every day, even if the Fu King looks for you, you can't find it. ”

"Big brother, your Jingxi camp is an important place to protect the safety of the Beijing Division, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go, brother, it's not good if people are saying that uncle and eldest brother have plans. ”

"You're right, it's not right to think about my brother. Li Yi knew that his eldest brother cared most about the Guogong Mansion, so as long as he used the excuse of influencing the Guogong Mansion, he would definitely surrender. Lian didn't want Li Duan to think about Li Yi's future anymore, so he said to Li Duan:

"Duan'er, you should also go back to see your daughter-in-law, my mother is a little tired and wants to rest. As he spoke, he stood up, and when everyone saw it, they said goodbye and dispersed.

Li Yi accompanied his mother back to the room and asked all the maids and women standing on the side to retreat. Only then did he say to Shi:

"Mother, why are you angry here, the eldest aunt is like you are a subordinate. Listen to the child, let's go. ”

"No, your father and Grandpa Guo agreed never to part with each other. ”

"Why?"

"Let's not talk about their brotherly affection, we are gone now, and Grandpa Guo will inevitably fall into the reputation of bullying our orphans and widows, how can we bear it. When your father was away, Grandpa Guo took care of us a lot, how could we do such an unrighteous thing. ”

"But aunt, she ......"

"The son does not say anything about the father, she is your elder after all. ”

"But what did she do to you?"

"I don't care, we inherit the love of Grandpa Guo. What's more, when she came back, I went to worship the Buddha by myself, and I didn't see her a few times. ”

"My son really can't stand it. ”

"Can't you bear this when your husband is alive?" Li Yi silently lowered his head in the face of his mother's scolding. Shi Shi paused for a moment and asked:

"Where have you been these days, my mother has lied to you. ”

"Lord Fu asked me to go to Shandong to run for him, it's not a big deal. ”

"I don't care who you're dealing with, but don't get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, do you hear?" Li Yi nodded when he heard this.

"Also, you are not young anymore, and it is time to think about lifelong events, we dare not think about those famous and noble girls, but we still have to pick a virtuous and virtuous girl with an innocent background. Li Yi heard the words "innocent background" and knew that his mother was talking about him and the famous prostitute in the capital. In fact, he was very wronged in this matter, and he only had a one-sided relationship with her, but somehow, it was rumored that he was her guest on the scene. In addition, Lian always wanted to take the opportunity to manipulate his family affairs, and he also took on this reputation and scared away those "ladies and gentlemen" that Lian said. But at this time, I was still a little embarrassed to face my mother.

"Mother, I have nothing to do with that girl, but this family is not in a hurry, so let's just let it be. ”

"Chance, you didn't look for it and came? Shi smiled and gently poked Li Yi's forehead.
