196, concubines and grievances

After a while, Hongmei came over with an empty bowl and whispered to He Jiaxian: "This is what Mrs. ate in the morning, and she has a good appetite." I happened to meet the maid who delivered the bowl and I knew each other, so I brought it to her. ”

He Jiaxian saw that he had eaten a lot of porridge and buns, and when he saw Hongmei squeezing his eyebrows at her, he knew in his heart.

After staying up for another hour, her waist couldn't straighten up, so she took the medicine and went to Heshoutang, she looked at Chen's not very serious face suspiciously, and thought of the empty bowl that was served out for breakfast-where is it like a person who is so sick that he wants to serve the sick?

Besides, the Fang family didn't have the rule that a daughter-in-law had to serve the sick before.

In the past, when Chen was sick, she didn't let her see it, she was taken care of by her favorite daughters, and the worst was Aunt Shen and Aunt Lin, when would she put her, a person who was not allowed to see, to her, and was not afraid of making her illness more serious?

Looking at the peony that was not nervous at all, He Jiaxian had a number in his heart, took the decoction in his own hand, and handed it over: "Mother, the medicine is warm, and the daughter-in-law is waiting for you to drink the medicine." ”

Chen opened his eyes and glanced at He Jiaxian, and said, "Don't drink it first, you go and wash my underwear." ”

So many maids, do you want her to wash clothes? He Jiaxian said secretly, he really tried to find a way to find fault.

Then he got up and said, "Daughter-in-law, let's go." As soon as his hand shook carelessly, some of the slightly warm Chinese medicine suddenly spilled out on Chen's face, and the bitter and fishy smell suddenly spread to the entire room.

Chen's face was covered with a yellow decoction, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed in anger: "He Jiaxian, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

"I'm looking at my mother, congratulations." He Jiaxian smiled and wiped Chen's face with his own handkerchief: "If my mother can get up, it means that the illness is not serious, and she will be fine if she takes two pairs of medicines." Jixiang, go and tell the master, the master is afraid that he will be happy. He Jiaxian knew that the Chen family was most afraid of Master Fang: "I heard in the morning that I was very worried about my mother's body." ”

Chen hesitated after hearing this, and softened his heart a little: "...... Did he really say that? ”

“…… Mother, I went to do the laundry. He Jiaxian was talking nonsense, just trying to get out, and when he saw Chen's questioning, it was not easy to say that Master Fang didn't care about her at all, which made her sad.

Leave a glimmer of hope, or give it to her.

"No need, you can take care of Ran Ran yourself." Chen's mood was better, but he was kind to He Jiaxian: "You go to Congjia in the afternoon and ask me for a Weng Bing ......."

"......" He Jiaxian was going to thank him, but when he heard this even more shameless request, he suddenly became angry, but suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "In the morning, my mother asked me to serve my illness, and I have already returned home and will not go today. ”

Chen picked up a stone and hit his own foot, feeling annoyed for a while, but he couldn't help it, so he could only laugh and laugh.

He Jiaxian saw Chen's family, thought of what Ju Xiang said about "aunt and grandmother", and turned around and said tentatively: "Why hasn't the eldest sister come back recently, you are sick." ”

Although Chen's disease is fake, it is also known to the world.

Chen was very disgusted, ignored her at all, as if he hadn't heard, and said to Peony: "Send the second grandmother back and call the eldest grandmother over." ”

As soon as He Jiaxian left, he immediately called the wind chimes over again and asked, "What's going on with my aunt and grandmother, why don't you even hear from her?" ”

Feng Chime said: "The slave maid went to the gate of the Hou Mansion for a long time, and the silver was also a lot, and the Hou Mansion was unanimous, saying that the aunt and grandmother were fine, and when the slave and maid asked to see her, they said that the aunt and grandmother did not want to see it." The slave and maid will go again today. ”

Chen's heart was already drumming, how many times she had said these words, she also knew it in her heart, but she didn't believe it, and called the wind chime to inquire about the news every day, and when she came back, it was the same rhetoric.

And he took some silver and gave it to the wind chimes.

He Jiaxian thought of Ju Xiang's words here, and looked at Chen's reaction, but he was also stunned, and kept an eye on it, and asked Hongmei to go outside the Hou Mansion to ask.

Hongmei is much more active than the wind chime, and unlike the wind chime, I often went to the Hou Mansion to send posts to know each other, and soon got different news, although it is not exact, but I can guess a roughly.

"When the slave and maid went, the wind chimes were still at the gate, and they wanted to wait for the maids of the eldest aunt and grandmother to come out, but unfortunately no one spoke to her, and they didn't even accept the silver." Hongmei was a little pitiful with the wind chime: "The slave saw that it was not a way, so she slipped to the root of the back wall, and made a close deal with the mother-in-law who poured the night incense, and gave two taels of silver, but asked some words." ”

"She said that she hadn't seen her aunt and grandmother for a long time, but Mrs. Houfu was sick, and the aunt and grandmother said that she was sick before, and she didn't see many people later, and now the second aunt and grandmother are in charge of things in the house." Hongmei stuck out her tongue after speaking: "No matter how thin it is, there is no more." ”

"My mother lost power before, and the eldest sister didn't come back, maybe to avoid suspicion. But now that they are all sick, and the eldest sister has not come back, then there is something strange. He Jiaxian analyzed: "If Fang Yuting is in power, then everything is much easier to say." Quite simply, she controls the personal freedom of her eldest sister. ”

Hongmei's hair should be very fast: "The wind chime can't find out the news, probably the same?" The second aunt and grandmother let the people say that to her? And there was a guard against her. ”

"Quite possibly." He Jiaxian thought about it, Fang Yuhe had always been good in her impression, so she said to Hongmei: "You stay at the door, wait for the wind chime to come back, tell her about it, and when you ask, just say that you have heard about it." ”

Hongmei knew that He Jiaxian intended to help Fang Yuhe, and was full of doubts: "Madame is unable to protect herself now, where can I save my aunt and grandmother?" ”

"That's her business. It's better than keeping her in the dark. He Jiaxian smiled, there was only so much she could do: "Besides, if her girl has something, she should cheer up, she must not be sick again, and I don't have to serve anymore." He Jiaxian muttered: "There are two daughters-in-law in total, my sister-in-law is busy with family affairs, and she always relies on me, so I am not wronged." ”

Hongmei smiled and said: "It's only your husband's child, there was originally that lilac, who knew that people's lives were good, and there were three young masters everywhere to protect them, and they couldn't stand a little hardship......"

Lilac didn't know what to use to charm Fang Qiye, but she protected her like a baby in her heart. Chen was still very angry before, but later saw that Lilac could find a way to detain Fang Qiye in the house and not go out to drink and have fun, but he acquiesced.

Sure enough, after listening to the wind chime's report, Chen's face was covered with a layer of gloom: "Sure enough, if that cheap hoof provokes it, then everything makes sense." Last time, she framed me Yuhe and drugged Mrs. Hou, causing me Yuhe to be placed under house arrest. Now that she is in charge of the house, she naturally wants to be even more powerful......"

"You help me up, change my clothes, I'm going to the Hou Mansion...... Lady Tanmar's illness. Chen said angrily.

"But madam, you yourself are sick." Wind Chimes hurriedly reminded.

"Healed!" Chan was anxious.

"Then do you want to talk to grandma?" Peony asked.

"How dare she stop me?" Chen's eyes widened.

Zhou did not stop her, but when she asked questions in the nursing home guarding the door, she came up in time to clear the siege and let Chen go out.

Chen did not make a post, and after lunch time in the afternoon, he immediately arrived at the Hou Mansion, and the people went in to pray, but said that Mrs. Hou needed to recuperate, and no one was allowed to visit.

Chen's anger trembled, he almost couldn't stand steadily, and he was angry and majestic: "Can't I even enter the gate of the Hou Mansion?" Both daughters-in-law are girls from our family...... Tell your eldest grandmother and second grandmother to come out...... It's only been a few days, and I forgot how to write filial piety! ”

Fang Yuting sat in the flower hall and looked at this month's income and expenditure accounts, Ying'er listened to the advice of a slave maid, stepped forward and said next to her: "The wife of the in-laws is not relenting, she has to come in." Otherwise, it will be said that you are not filial. ”

"She has been in power for half her life, and when she was a mother-in-law before, I never saw her say the word love. Now that she is down, she has no rights, so she uses filial piety to suppress people, but she has a good calculation, and she is justified in what she does, which is to make herself invincible. Fang Yuting sneered and raised the corners of her mouth: "She doesn't want to leave room for her, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Let her in. ”

As soon as Chen entered the flower hall, he saw Fang Yuting wearing gold and silver, heavy makeup, and a high-flying appearance, and suddenly became angry: "Wolf-hearted thing, you forced Mother Jin to death, do you still want to force your eldest sister to death?" ”

"What did Mother say about this?" Fang Yuting hurriedly got up in surprise to help Chen, and then rushed to the maids: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you go and invite your aunt and grandmother over." ”

Chen was surprised when she heard that she was willing to let Fang Yuhe come over to see her, and later felt that Fang Yuting must be afraid of herself, so she sat down proudly and slapped the table again: "Serve tea!" ”

Fang Yuting said loudly: "Hurry up and serve tea to my mother." ”

After waiting for a long time, Chen looked forward several times before he saw Fang Yuhe slowly walking over with the support of his subordinates. It's just that his face is pale, and he walks with great difficulty, as if he were walking on the edge of a knife with every step.

Chen was shocked when he saw it, and hurriedly got up to help, Fang Yuhe saw that it was her, his lips moved, his eyes were full of wrongs and grievances, but without waiting to say it, he received a sharp eye knife from Fang Yuting, and immediately stopped speaking, only falling into Chen's arms.

Chen was busy hugging for a while: "My son, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Yuting said: "The eldest sister is serving her mother-in-law, she is tired and sick, and she has not been well, we are afraid that our mother will know and worry, so we have not said anything." ”

"What can't be said? My old bones are still useful, and it's not a good thing to listen to! Chan was angry.

"Mother naturally can stand it, but she is afraid that she will be listened to by someone who cares, and she thinks that the eldest sister is sick and uncontrollable, what about you, you have also angered your father, and it will not be good to take this good opportunity to fall into the well." Fang Yuting explained.

"Who are you talking about? Who is the person with a heart? Chen knew that she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and he was not angry.

"Who else? Aunt May. Fang Yuting smiled: "Didn't Mother and Jin Niangzi keep saying that she was not right?" If you teach me to be on guard, then you yourself should be even more vigilant. ”

Fang Yuting's words made Chen speechless, and he could only hold Fang Yuhe's skinny hand with tears in his eyes.

It's just that he couldn't see any clues, so he could only earnestly tell Haosheng to take care of himself, so he reluctantly glanced at Fang Yuhe a few more times, and wondered: "Why don't you see Brother Han?" ”

Fang Yuhe seemed to be very tired after receiving it, and gasped and said to the maid who had been following: "Go and bring Brother Han over to show your mother." After speaking, he didn't look at the maid, but only at Fang Yuting.

Fang Yuting didn't have anything abnormal, nodded, and the maid left.

Fang Yuting said to Ying'er: "You go too, Brother Han is naughty, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold her alone." Ying'er understood and hurriedly agreed.

After a while, Brother Han hugged him, it was still a pink and tender meat dumpling, and when he saw Fang Yuhe, he was not as affectionate as before, but he was a little scared and didn't dare to step forward.

Chen hurriedly opened a bag of dim sum to tease him: "Good boy, come to grandmother." ”

Brother Han saw the dim sum, and his saliva was about to fall out, but his eyes looked at Fang Yuting, waiting for her approval.

Fang Yuting said with a smile: "I bought this dim sum outside, I have diarrhea after eating it, let's not eat it, good brother." ”

Brother Han withdrew his eyes, drilled into Fang Yuting's arms, and smiled: "Second aunt will do it for me." ”

"Okay, the second aunt will do it for Brother Han in a minute. Make your favorite red dumplings. Fang Yuting's love for Brother Han seemed very sincere, and Chen was dumbfounded, looking at Fang Yuhe.

Fang Yuhe explained like a gossamer: "Since I was sick, I was afraid that I would be sick to the child, so I asked my second sister to help raise it." The child is very close to her, and she is also very good to the child. ”

Chen knew that Fang Yuting was a person, so he was naturally skeptical. But seeing that Brother Han was tall and strong, and he spoke very neatly, he could only dispel his suspicions and go back with peace of mind.

Fang Yuhe wanted to get up and give it away, but because his body was too weak, he didn't stand up several times, and even fell to the ground the last time.

Chen didn't have time to help, and saw Fang Yuhe fall at his feet, and then the bottom of his skirt was lifted, and a foreign object was stuffed into the embroidered shoes, which was soft.

Chen Shi was shocked, but his face was forced to endure and remain silent, and he was afraid that the thing would fall out when he was walking, so he stood still and did not dare to move.

"Why is the eldest sister so careless." Fang Yuting also came over to help, and saw that Chen's hands were empty, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Chen Shi held the shelf: "Look at the good things you have done, your eldest sister is in such a virtual state, why don't you invite a better doctor to come and see." ”

"I've seen it, but it doesn't help." Fang Yuhe didn't wait for Fang Yuting to speak, and hurriedly took the lead in defending: "This is the root of Brother Shenghan's illness, how did my mother forget." No wonder the second sister, she is now managing a large family, and she is also anxious. ”

"Humph! Then I should serve you well. You are the longest, she is the youngest, you are the concubine, she is the concubine, it should be like this. Chen snorted coldly, put on a shelf, and the other party Yuting Liwei: "I don't want to leave today, I am also your mother-in-law when I come to the Hou Mansion, do you understand the word filial piety?" Tell them to bring me a soft sedan to carry me. ”
