396 The Concubines Who Ran Away
Su Shi was surprised when he heard what his sister-in-law said, and asked, "Then the second brother doesn't care, even if it's a concubine, and it's your favorite, you let your daughter-in-law torture you?"
Mrs. Hou snorted contemptuously and said: "Man, it's not a novelty, I heard that the second brother has a good relationship outside, how can you remember the concubine in the house? This second brother is this problem, he loves the outside, and I don't know what it is, if I meet a difficult one, I see enough of him to drink a pot, anyway, the family is separated, and the Hou Ye can't take care of it, even if he doesn't split the family, the Hou Ye can't control him."
When Su came back from his sister-in-law, he called Autumn Leaves in and asked what was going on in the second room, and Autumn Leaves was also waiting for his wife to come back to report, so he was already waiting in the ear room.
After Akiba came in, he also said anxiously: "Madam, something happened to this second room"
Su Shi interrupted her and said, "I know that Lu'e and Xiangxiang have run away, let's talk about something unusual."
Qiu Ye paused and said: "Madam, a little girl in the second room who stared at the incense said that she had fed Xiao Erlang pastries before she left, but she didn't see any discomfort in Xiao Erlang, and the fourth grandmother didn't notice it."
Su's conspiracy theory again, no child was born in these two rooms, and I saw what kind of medicine powder was burned in the incense before, and I was shocked that I checked all the three rooms, and there were no children born in the second room, so she did it, Qiu Ye said that she was ruthless.
Su Shi asked again if there was anyone close to the third room, Qiu Ye said: "During the time that the wife is not in the house, where are the slaves staring, there is Sister Qiu Zhi in the third room, and the slaves and maids are guarding tightly, however, the incense has never been in contact with the people in the third room, and he only stays in the second room and does not run around much, and he looks honestly tight, except for sneaking to see Lu'e from time to time."
Su's heart bites the dog that doesn't bark, and smiled at Autumn Leaves: "I've worked hard for you, I'll let Chuncao reward you in a while, and you have to keep an eye on it in the future, who knows which one has any bad intentions, let's not hurt people, but always mention it."
Qiu Yemei smiled and thanked Mrs. for the reward, and continued: "The slave and maid are blessed with the wife, and the people say that the wife is a philanthropic person, not as vicious as the second wife, the wife doesn't know, the second wife asked Lu'e to wash her handkerchief in the boiling water basin, Lu'e's hands are burned, and the slave and maid also said that the incense can't look past and help Lu'e run, the slave and maid are trembling when they hear it, why is the second wife like this now?
Su Shi also trembled when he heard this, and he was angry in his heart, he didn't like the concubine, and he sent it away, did he use it so tormenting? Su Shi hated this kind of bullying of weak people the most, if this little concubine assassinated you, it would be good if you killed him, you didn't need to deal with a concubine you arranged for your father-in-law, and you didn't want to torture a concubine born by someone else to boil frogs in warm water, right? Su Shi originally said that the second wife is also annoying, and she is not a wicked and ruthless person, why has it become like this for more than a year? Menopause won't change human nature, right?
Su didn't want to listen to this sad thing, so he sent Autumn Leaves down, turned around and said to Chuncao hatefully: "I can't see a wicked person who tortures innocent people for pleasure, the second wife doesn't crash into my hands, watch me clean her up then, wait and see, I still have to toss her."
Chuncao said: "Mrs. is kind-hearted, our Hou Mansion has not had those messy things, there are worse things in other mansions, some noble ladies look at the benevolent outside the eyebrow, back to their own mansion is a man-eating tiger, there are concubines in the house every year who are carried out to bury, it is really not the grandfather's doing, they are all done by the main room, or there is some backbone, I would rather marry a poor man as the original match, than be a concubine?
Su Shi was cold, and felt more and more that God was taking care of himself, and he didn't wear it to the realm of Lu'e, if that was the case, it was estimated that he would either cut the other party or cut his neck, but he didn't want to stay here and be tortured.
Su didn't want to talk about this unhappy thing anymore, so he asked Chuncao to send the chickens brought back from the Zhuangzi to each room, and let him give a few more to the sixth grandmother, and raise them to stew the soup slowly.
Su Shi thought about it for a while, then called Qiu Teng, and went to Mrs. Tai with two chickens.
Mrs. Tai was crooked on the bed discussing with Mrs. Liu, when she saw Su Shi coming in, she straightened her body and said with a smile: "Why is the daughter-in-law here?"
Su Shi sat next to Mrs. Tai, and said with a smile: "I brought two live chickens to my mother, both of which were brought back from Zhuangzi, and let Mama Liu raise them first, when my mother wanted to drink chicken soup, she let the kitchen stew."
Mrs. Tai said: "Good daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law is still thinking about me as an old woman, you see that I have been in the house for so long, and your sister-in-law has come to see me, and no one in the second room has seen it, this is not her own or no, fortunately, my mother still has you as a good daughter-in-law, otherwise no one will care about it when I am old."
Su said: "That's also a mother's kind heart, the daughter-in-law can be so comfortable, my sister-in-law said that the lady in our house is really a kind and charitable person, and the people who come to Keju eat chicken and drink soup, so ah, the Bodhisattva blesses the children and grandchildren in our house, and the daughter-in-law also dragged the blessing of the mother's charity, so she gave birth to four sons in one breath, and the sister-in-law also gave birth to three?
Mrs. Tai nodded and said: "No, if you say so, I am a great hero of the Xie family, and the ancestors of the Xie family will bless me to recover from my illness, and I can walk and speak, and some old people have a stroke and they can't speak, and I have stopped talking in the past two years, which is the blessing of the ancestors of the Xie family."
Su Shi smiled: "No, my mother is a great hero of the Xie family, so ah, every room in our house has to be harmonious, whether it is for the husband or the aunt, the woman is virtuous, this family is born, this family is born, and the master is prosperous, I learned from my mother, in fact, this virtuous lady should be given to my mother."
Mrs. Tai said happily, and said: "It's the same, it's the same to give it to the daughter-in-law, isn't it also good for the mother to teach? This is also the mother's face, the mother goes out, which one doesn't boast about the daughter-in-law with the mother?"
Su pretended to be ashamed and said: "Mother should say that my daughter-in-law did it according to my appearance"
Mrs. Tai smiled: "My mother wants to say this, saying that my mother has always taught her daughter-in-law to be filial and obedient to women's ways, but it is not good to boast in front of outsiders, so my mother didn't say it."
Su Shi said: "What is this boasting, isn't the daughter-in-law just learning from her mother after being by her mother's side for a long time? The sister-in-law takes care of this Hou Mansion properly, and she also cares about the children of the big house, and this is not all learned from her mother? The daughter-in-law sees that the second brother's knowledge is higher than that of my master, and it is not because of the mother's teaching that the second brother has a second room without distinguishing between each other.
Mrs. Tai is yes, and she talked a lot about how good she was to the second master at the beginning, and now this white-eyed wolf is not here, Su Shi listened with a smile, I will plant the seeds first, and then talk about other things.
