Chapter 37: The Old Lady Holds Back Her Anger
Old Madam Bai was shocked, looking at Bai Hibiscus with a trace of pain in her eyes, in the end, it was the eldest daughter, when she was a grandmother for the first time, although she also disliked her as a daughter, but she was her first granddaughter, and she was also pampered and raised in Baifu, how could she have ever suffered such an injury?
She looked at the scar on her arm, and when she turned to look at Lu Shi again, the Limang in her eyes almost turned into a blade, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You are the mother of this person?" Although Jin'er is not your own child, she is also your niece, and your heart is really poisonous!"
Lu Shi was surprised, and didn't know what was going on, so he quickly shook his head and said: "Old lady, I have always regarded Jin'er as my own, and today it was because I drank the medicine and slept too well that I couldn't hear the movement outside, although I was at fault, but I can't deserve the old lady's vicious charge!"
"Look at Jin'er's body injury, just the arm is so tragic, that invisible place, I don't know how many scars, others don't know how you are, don't I know if you are sick or not? I don't care about you because I take into account the feelings of the ancestors, you really make me dizzy, don't you even know if you are sick?" Old Madam Bai was really angry now.
When Lu saw the bruises and purple scars on Bai Hibiscus's arms, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and secretly hated how those old women could do so hard, didn't they explain that they couldn't really hurt her?
But now that things have happened, she can't change it, she can only try her best to make amends. So in an instant, he shed tears of pain, threw himself into his arms, and cried bitterly: "Jin'er, my poor child, my mother doesn't know that they are so vicious, and they hurt you like this, and it is really cheap to kill them just now, and my mother's heart will be broken!"
Lu's tears fell, and the strength of holding Bai Hibiscus was very strong, and he looked like he loved his daughter, and the onlookers couldn't help but feel kink.
Bai Mujian was held in her arms, and she also cried, but she struggled strongly, frowned, and said: "Mother, I know that you are distressed, but Jin'er has injuries on her body, and you hold it so hard, it hurts!"
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she pulled Bai Hibiscus behind her and said angrily: "What kind of heart do you have? Knowing that she is injured, you still work so hard, do you want her to be hurt and injured?
As soon as these words came out, even Bai Shizu sank his face, looked at Lu's eyes with a little reproach, and said: "Lu's, you are too ignorant, Jin'er is my daughter, even if you can't treat it as your own, you should treat each other politely, how can you let people hurt her?"
The Lu family was so hateful that he almost vomited blood, Bai Mujian, a little, was becoming more and more difficult to control, and now he was forcing Bai Shizu to turn his face against himself, how could she be willing to ruin her ten-year operation?
So with a sad expression, he smiled bitterly, as if he was heartbroken, and said: "Husband, I didn't expect that our husband and wife have been married for ten years, and your trust in the concubine body is so fragile. I have given birth to children for you, served my in-laws, and taken care of my sister's children, and in the past ten years, how can I not worry about it one day and be afraid? If it weren't for my deep love for my husband, why would I have bothered to marry into the Guogong Mansion to be your stepfamily?"
"People's hearts are flesh and blood, Jin'er was only four years old that year, sick and feverish, I never took care of her for a day and a night, Chen'er was naughty, I was a little injured and I was like a big enemy, not afraid that others would say that I treated Mrs. Yuan's children harshly? Not to mention that they are my sister's children, and I am also connected by blood, how can I harm them? Husband, you make Ning Xiang so cold, so cold......"
Lu sat on his knees on the ground, crying silently, as if he had suffered a great grievance, the hearts of those who cried were broken, and Bai Shizu's heart was even more painful.
He couldn't care about the crowd anymore, so he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, helped Lu Ningxiang up, and said reproachfully: "Ningxiang, I'...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't doubt you!"
Lu smiled even more bitterly, tears couldn't stop falling, shook his head, and said: "Husband, last time you suspected me of instigating Chun'er to ruin Jin'er's reputation, and this time you suspect that I instigated my subordinates to bully Jin'er, and the concubine really doesn't know if you will trample on the sincerity of the concubine again and again in the future, the concubine is really tired...... Why don't you give me a letter of resignation, or send me to the temple to be a sister-in-law, eat fasting and chant Buddha every day, or pray for the Bai family, for the husband and the old lady, and let the Buddha bless you with a long life and happiness!"
When Bai Shizu heard this, his heart panicked, and he didn't know where Bai Gaoxuan came out at this time, crying and hugging Lu's waist, begging: "Mother, why do you want to be a sister-in-law? Don't you want Xuan'er? Woo...... Then Xuan'er won't have a mother, Xuan'er doesn't want it......"
Lu Shi looked at Xuan'er's teary eyes, pushed Bai Shizu away, hugged his son, and cried bitterly: "Xuan'er, my good Xuan'er, woo...... Mother can't stand you and your sister, and your father will definitely find you a good mother in the future!"
"Don't, Xuan'er only needs her mother, not others!" Bai Gaoxuan burst into tears, broke away from Lu's embrace, knelt down in front of Bai Shizu, hugged his legs and begged: "Father, please, don't let your mother leave Xuan'er, please......"
"Who brought Brother Xuan here?" Mama Xu?" Old Madam Bai shouted angrily when she saw that Bai Gaoxuan had all been involved.
Mama Xu hurriedly ran out, knelt on the ground and said, "Old lady, the slave maid can't stop the second young master, he just got out of school, and when he saw so many people around here, he ran over by himself!"
"Then don't take him back, if there is a good one, you people who serve will not have good fruit to eat!" Old Madam Bai warned sharply, if Bai Gaoxuan was allowed to make trouble today, the Lu family would have to be arrogant again.
Where is Bai Gaoxuan willing to let people touch him, he hugged Bai Shizu's leg vigorously, crying and begging Bai Shizu.
Bai Shizu's heart was confused by his crying, and he scolded: "Okay, don't make any more trouble, when did I say that I wanted your mother to be your sister-in-law?" Xuan'er, you heard it wrong, your mother will stay at home well!"
"But...... But why did her mother cry so sadly, Xuan'er was reluctant to cry with her mother, and begged her father not to punish her mother, she was sick!" Bai Gaoxuan said pitifully, his innocent face was full of begging.
Bai Shizu pulled Bai Gaoxuan up in distress, and then pulled up the Lu family, and hugged them together in the crook of his arm and softly relieved.
Bai Muhibiscus sneered in her heart, the Lu family is really interesting, even used Bai Gaoxuan's chess piece, just to escape the next punishment? Inevitably, it was too trivial, she didn't think of knocking her down with this little thing, Bai Gaoxuan used it once or twice, but it didn't work.
She pulled the sleeves of the old lady Bai in the past, there were still tears left in her weak eyes, her eyes were still red, and her voice was also thick nasal, and she said softly: "Grandmother, Brother Xuan'er looks really pitiful, mother and son are connected, if you don't spare your mother, not only will your father be sad, but I'm afraid that Xuan'er will also have a grudge against her grandmother!"
Old Madam Bai took a breath of cool air lightly, as if she was trying her best to restrain the rising anger, and Mama Sun also quickly stroked Old Madam Bai's back and persuaded: "Old Madam, don't be angry with your body, in the end, Madame also gave birth to a pair of children for the Bai family, there is no merit and hard work, why bother to make the grandfather and the little young master feel a gap because of this?"
The three of them only cared about comforting each other, crying and laughing, and everyone else became the background, where could they hear the words of Bai Mujian and Grandma Sun.
The old lady Bai held back her resentment, but she had to endure it stubbornly, and her ugly face made all the subordinates wish that they could be invisible, and accidentally offended the old lady, I am afraid that this anger will be sprinkled on their heads.
Bai Mujin comforted Mrs. Bai softly, and at the same time snickered in her heart, this time the Lu family offended Mrs. Bai ruthlessly, and it would be difficult to win the heart of the old man in the future.
For a long time, Bai Shizu looked at Old Madam Bai with an embarrassed face and said, "Mother...... This ......"
"That's it, since Jin'er and Xuan'er are helping to intercede, if I really want to punish her, I'm afraid I'll really become a big villain, hey...... I'm old, I can't take care of it anymore, Shizu, you can do it yourself!" Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Shizu's eyes with deep disappointment, and pulled Bai Mujian and Grandma Sun to turn around and leave.
The son she raised with hard work has disobeyed her again and again, favoring his wife, and the sadness of being a mother, I am afraid that he will not understand if he has not experienced it.
Bai Shizu looked at the back of his mother and his daughter leaving lonely, his heart was inexplicably a little empty, he was not stupid, and he knew that the Lu family could not escape the blame for this matter anyway, but he was reluctant to let go of the Lu family, thinking about how much risk and grievance she had endured when she married him with a big belly, and how much pain she experienced to help him give birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, it was difficult for him to give up this friendship.
Because Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen were born when he was busy with official business, he did not stay in the mansion because he was busy with official business, but when the Lu family married and gave birth, he first experienced the complicated feelings of waiting for his wife to give birth, which was the biggest reason why he especially pitied the Lu family and the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Seeing that Mrs. Bai and Bai Hibiscus had left, and the rest of the subordinates also dispersed in a funny way, Lu comforted Bai Gaoxuan, and asked Mama Xu to take her away, and invited Bai Shizu to the house, and the two talked about their hearts.
The Lu family was secretly proud in his heart, Bai Mujian and the old woman actually wanted to make themselves deflated, but it was a pity that she was a chess player, not only unscathed, but also won double the pity of Bai Shizu.
As long as she firmly grasps Bai Shizu's heart, then no one in the Ningguo Mansion can touch her, even the pretentious old lady will be defeated in her own hands.
"Ning Xiang, my mother is really angry today, after you are well, you have to wait carefully, coax her more, don't make it difficult for your husband!" Bai Shizu frowned, he thought about it, and there was only this way.
Lu obediently lay in Bai Shizu's arms, and said softly: "The concubine knows that the concubine has always done her best to the old lady, and never dared to slack off in the slightest, thinking that because the husband has special pity for the concubine, the old lady has a lot of complaints about the concubine, and the concubine must serve her more wholeheartedly, I just hope that one day the old lady can understand the filial piety of the concubine!"
Bai Shizu smiled with relief and said, "I know that you are the most sensible and will never embarrass me!"
"The husband is the concubine's heaven, I am only for you, as long as you are happy, no matter how much the concubine suffers from grievances, she will be as happy as she is!" Lu Ningxiang said sincerely, and her face was slightly red.
Bai Shizu saw it, and pitied her more and more, and was slightly hot in his heart by her delicate and moving posture, only because Lu's body was not happy, it was really a little difficult.
Seeing that he was emotional, Lu's face turned even redder, and his watery eyes became more and more sparkling, and he leaned into Bai Shizu's ear and shouted: "Husband, ......"
Bai Shizu couldn't stand her teasing, hugged her and walked to the inner room, a hearty cloud and rain, listening to Yingqiu, who was still waiting outside, blushed and heartbeat, and peeked at the inner room from time to time.
Nuan Dong suddenly slapped her from behind, which frightened Yingqiu, and said angrily: "You dead girl, what are you doing!"
