48. The Seizure of Power (1)

Mrs. Xia was a little anxious, and Mother Zhang immediately took apart the pills she was carrying, dissolved them and fed them to her.

After taking the pills, the old lady gradually got better, Chan Yi peeled off a citrus fruit, carefully tore off the white meridians on the orange petals, put it in a small pastel porcelain plate, and handed it to her, "Grandmother, eat some citrus to remove the bitterness." ”

Old Mrs. Xia looked at her lovingly, reached out and touched the little mustache tied on her head, "Go to Grandmother's house to help Grandmother get some pills in the evening, Grandmother came out today and didn't bring it with you." ”

Chanyi nodded, "Grandmother, bear with me first, and I'll fetch it for you later." ”

After speaking, she hurriedly retreated, but her heart was clear, the pills that her grandmother brought with her were enough for emergency use, and she was just looking for an excuse to get rid of her, and her grandmother didn't want to scold her father in front of her and lose her father's face.

Sure enough, as soon as she exited, there was a clatter of broken porcelain in the inner room.

Mrs. Xia trembled and pointed at Xia Shijing, and said bitterly: "You are really a good father, when you come back, you don't ask where Wanwan was injured, and second, you don't ask who rescued Wanwan, as soon as you open your mouth, you will help that slut exonerate, that slut is more important than your daughter's safety?

As he spoke, he began to gasp again, Xie Shi hurriedly dragged the little pestle close to her side and kept patting her back, and persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, husband he just came back from the palace, Aunt Yan was crying in front of him, how could he have the opportunity to ask? ”

Xia Shijing's face was slightly pale, and he was about to speak, but he heard Mrs. Xia snort coldly, "Don't excuse him, he was born to me, I know what kind of temperament he has, if he has a little bit of me as an old woman in his heart, he won't take my words seriously, why does the emperor not worry about others taking care of the third prince, she is the aunt of the third prince, and she will take care of it carefully, I learned about her character from the day she brought Sister Xian into the house, if it is really a good one, where did Sister Xian come from?"

The old lady knew in her heart that Yan's appearance was much brighter than that of her daughter-in-law, but who did not love women with new colors, coupled with Yan's habitual tricks, her daughter-in-law would naturally be compared to such a famous lady, she couldn't imagine that she would be stronger for a lifetime, but her husband favored his concubine and killed his wife, and when he came to his son, he would follow in the footsteps of his old man, and his son still inherited the consistent selfishness of Xia men after all.

The old lady closed her eyes and showed him the Heart Sutra on the table, "Why did the Duchess of Dingguo give such a precious scripture to Wanwan, you have to think about it in your heart, if you come and go, but the person who presides over the middle feed in the house is an aunt, how to round this word, the marriage of several brothers has not yet been settled, and it can't be affected because of this matter," he said, taking a breath, and said, " No matter how much the coachman participated, the Yan family beat people like that, I'm afraid that the coachman won't survive, so I gave a heavy reward and sent it away, there has been no such thing in our house, even if the errand of the next person is not done well, at most she will be fined some months' money, or sell the house, she will shout and kill as soon as she comes up, if it spreads, will the reputation of our Xia family be lost?"

The old lady couldn't help but sigh and said, "I think it's completely wrong to let her take charge of this house, how to manage such a vicious character, so let's just take back the housekeeping power from her." ”

Xia Shijing knew that her mother was really angry, and said in embarrassment: "Mother, it's easy not to let her take care of the house, but you are not in good health, and Yingxue is even sicker, who will take care of this house?"

The old lady pondered for a long time and sighed: "It's twelve years later, and the children of ordinary people will wait for fifteen and marry if they marry early, if they marry a clan wife, they can't always ignore the things in the feed, so let her take care of it first, it's really not okay to wait for Brother Chen'er to become a parent, and leave it to Brother Chen's daughter-in-law." ”
