Chapter 254: Open Fight and Secret Fight
Bai Xiaoyao sent Lin Fangyu to the gate of the Hou Mansion and turned around and went to the palace. The people at the door were stunned and went to deliver the letters in batches.
Qiao'er knelt on the ground: "The slave and maid are not well protected, and the young grandmother is frightened, please punish the young grandmother." ”
Lin Fangyu's eyebrows moved slightly: "Qiao'er, you must be very tired after covering up for so long, right?" ”
Qiao'er moved invisibly: "What does young grandma mean by this?" The slave doesn't understand. ”
After getting up and entering the screen, he didn't look at Qiao'er again: "What I say, you already know it." It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, at least for now, I'm still your nominal master. I've heard that the general has a variety of methods to deal with the enemy, but unfortunately I have never seen it. If you continue to quibble and refuse to tell the truth, I don't mind shooting a bow from you, and seeing with my own eyes the terrifying ghost general tormenting people, what it looks like! ”
Qiao'er still knelt and didn't say a word, as if she was fighting in her heart. Lin Fangyu said again: "The general has already entered the palace, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back for a while, so you don't have to worry, there is still a long time to think about it." Don't go anywhere until he returns, just think about it here, and if you don't, I don't need to be polite to you! ”
She bit the last few words very hard, Qiao'er shivered, knowing that she had always been a person who said nothing, so she had to straighten her body and say, "Yes." ”
It is said that their husband and wife look like each other, but in fact, although they look stranger than strangers, they can see each other's meaning from each other in every move, word and deed, this tacit understanding may not be understood by many couples for decades. Qiao'er thought that the eldest young master had already entered the palace, and the eldest young grandmother could be so calm and relaxed, which could only show one possibility, that is, she already had a perfect plan.
She hasn't done anything, how can she see it? The young grandmother is just a woman, and she doesn't even have the Zijing follower, what can she do to compete with herself? No, it won't be like that, she must still have a trick, but what is it?
Lin Fangyu slowly changed into clean clothes, drank tea, and used snacks before walking towards Mrs. Bai's courtyard.
Unlike yesterday, there was no scorching sun today, and there was a dull smell in the air, and the hoarse screams of the acquaintances in the trees made people feel troubled when they heard it.
Before leaving, she deliberately glanced at Qiao'er again, and Lin Fangyu was not very sure that she would tell the truth, after all, not everyone can do it if the seller seeks glory. Moreover, the end of betraying the master should not be so glorious. So she didn't have hope at all for Qiao'er, it was nothing more than to temporarily detain her for a while.
She walked out of the door and muttered to herself, "......"
Before I arrived at Dongyuan, I heard a burst of laughter, in addition to Aunt Luo, there was also a faint greeting from Mrs. Bai. As soon as Lin Fangyu walked to the door, a maid signed up, she walked in with a smile, Aunt Luo seemed to be very speculative with her, got up and greeted: "Yo, say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!" ”
"Madame, aunts!" Lin Fangyu saluted first, and Mrs. Bai was sideways, and there was no need to salute other aunts.
"Good boy, come and let me see!" When Mrs. Bai saw her, a pair of eyes came over directly, her face was full of concern, and she took Lin Fangyu's hand and asked a long question: "I heard that you are missing, and Yao'er has no news, but it makes me anxious!" Seeing you come back safe and sound, my heart fell to the ground. ”
"It's me who is ignorant and worries my wife." The humility that a daughter-in-law should have is still there, not to mention that there are so many people, Mrs. Bai wants to show the virtue of her mother-in-law, and she only has to cooperate.
Aunt Xu yawned, indicating that she was not interested in this kind of thing. Aunt Luo looked at it with a smile. Mrs. Bai said: "As a parent, how can you not worry about it. Seeing Lin Fangyu looking at others, Mrs. Bai smiled knowingly: "You haven't seen it yet, have you?" She is Aunt Xue. ”
I saw that the woman with a beautiful posture and a plain dress stood up, curled Tingting, with a sickly feeling, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and said intermittently in the light cough: "The concubine Xue is the family, and I have seen the eldest and youngest grandmothers." ”
The concubine is a subordinate with no status, and Aunt Xue is completely in accordance with etiquette, which can shock Lin Fangyu, she never expected to see Aunt Xue at such a time, the last time she went to see her in person, she was refused, sure enough, Mrs. Bai is not as kind as she seems, her scheming and courage are unusual.
Seeing that she was stunned, Madame Bai didn't know what to do, and said with a smile: "This kid." The words were full of spoiling taste, and Aunt Luo saw the opportunity and said: "It must be that my sister is too charming, so that the young grandmother is also stunned." ”
Aunt Xu snorted coldly: "That maybe, maybe my sister's illness was given to the young grandmother." ”
Aunt Luo sat back stupidly, her face was full of resentment, because Mrs. Bai was present, and she did not make a fuss.
"It's the blessing of the concubine, and I haven't been able to touch the blessing of the young grandmother." Aunt Xue's sentence should be divided into several times. When Mrs. Bai saw it, she said, "You don't talk less, you can't blow the wind in the first place, why are you coming out to do it?" ”
"Ahem...... The concubine hasn't been here for a few days, and she wants to come and see Madame......"
Before she finished speaking, Aunt Xu snorted coldly again, completely expressing her dissatisfaction.
Mrs. Bai went by her, and only blamed Aunt Xue: "Between you and me, why be so polite, they are all Hou Ye's family, and my sister should take care of herself." ”
This time, Aunt Xue didn't speak again, nodded silently, and sat back.
Aunt Luo didn't please just now, but when she saw Aunt Xue sitting down, she felt that her opportunity had come, so she smiled again: "In my opinion, it is still Mrs. Charity, which makes my sister involuntarily want to be close." ”
Lin Fangyu listened silently, thinking that Aunt Luo was really stupid or not tactful enough, she was indeed patting Mrs. Bai's sycophants like this, but it shouldn't be that no one knew about going to see Aunt Xue by herself, isn't this just a disguised sarcasm that she is impersonal and not close to people?
If at this time, Lin Fangyu still couldn't see the doorway, then she really lived a leisurely life and forgot the bitterness. It is obvious that this Hou Mansion is staging a drama of open and secret fighting.
The faction headed by Mrs. Bai has a strong lineup, Aunt Xue is attached to her, and Aunt Luo is the only one who looks at her, as if the Hou Mansion is Mrs. Bai turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands for rain, if there is no Aunt Xu's appearance, she will really think that this is the case.
On the other hand, Aunt Xu is a bit alone, she neither clings to anyone, nor does she get closer to Mrs. Bai. However, Madame Bai did not make it too difficult for her, and there were only two possibilities for this situation. The first is that Aunt Xu's mother's family is powerful and still cares about her, the daughter who is a concubine, but Mrs. Bai's mother's family also has a lot of background, so this possibility can be ruled out. Then there is only the second kind left, Aunt Xu is Yongshenghou's favorite, and Mrs. Bai doesn't dare to touch her.
With such a judgment, Lin Fangyu couldn't help but glance at Aunt Xu a few more times, trying to find her differences.
