Su Ke hurried back to the Hou Mansion before the key fell in the evening.

Only Wushuang and Bai Lu were waiting in front of the old lady, and although Su Ke had changed his clothes and freshened up, he still smelled of wine. The old lady fell asleep, she approached lightly, and Wushuang turned back to smell the smell.

"I'll be on duty at night." Su Ke whispered.

Bai Lu looked at Wushuang and seemed to be waiting for her to call the shots. If the old lady is not sick, the white dew at this time has been released and she will go home for the New Year. But the old lady treated her well, gave her a deed, and allowed her to marry herself. There is not much such grace, and out of the love of serving by her side for so many years, Bai Lu did not leave, leaving to wait for the old lady to recover.

But with this relationship in it, Bai Lu no longer takes the initiative to make up his mind in Xiangju.

What happened in the morning, Wushuang was also in front of him, and he could see it clearly. The old lady was angry for some reason, and everyone was puzzled. Hou Ye personally hugged Su Ke and left, although the old lady was angry, but there was no word to pass down, what to do with Su Ke. Right now, the old lady is sick, although Wushuang can be the master, but Su Ke is still involved with the Hou Ye after all.

Wushuang weighed it, was embarrassed for a while, but still relieved, and said to Bai Lu, "That is the case, Su Ke and I will stay in the middle of the night, you go to rest tightly, and come to change us on the fourth watch." ”

Bai Lu nodded in response, and when he passed by Su Ke's side, he looked at her fixedly, as if to say that it was okay.

Su Ke smiled at her, a little grateful. When Bai Lu left, Su Ke went to the brazier to see the charcoal, and then went to cut the candle flowers, and asked the little girl to replace the teapot with hot water again. After everything was cleaned up, Su Ke suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Mother Xu?" ”

Wushuang sat on the pistle at the head of the old lady's bed, with a needlework basket on his lap, picking and wiping the old lady's forehead.

Hearing Su Ke's question, she slowly raised her head, stopped talking, got up and looked at the old lady, and then pulled Su Ke out of the bedroom lightly. On the outer door of the inner room, Wushuang lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I heard Bai Lu say in the morning, although it was the plum wine that Mother Xu asked you to dig up, she didn't expect the old lady to be like that at all. Think about your identity, the identity of the person who supports you, Mother Xu will not be so stupid and make a knife for you in front of the Hou Ye. ”

Is this saying good things for Xu's mother?

Su Ke's face was faint.

In fact, she can carry this truth more clearly than Wushuang, because of the unclear relationship with Shao Linghang, the people up and down of the incense house saw her, and they either retreated and did not provoke, or they hurried to please her. In addition, after entering the palace, the news slowly spread into the house, and everyone was even more embarrassed. Hengzhi didn't follow the Hou Ye, sooner or later, she was also a lady, and the old lady helped to give the dowry, what a face.

Besides, Shao Linghang didn't let go, everyone with a clear eye looked at it, where did he come back to pick up incense, Shao Linghang's eyes didn't follow Su Ke.

So no one dared to stumble on Su Ke, what about Mother Xu, no matter how long she served by the old lady's side, she would be a subordinate after all. Shao Linghang is the Marquis of Xuanping, the son of the old lady, and he really sprinkled it to be punished, and the old lady would not touch Shao Linghang for the sake of Xu's mother.

Since there is no way back to ensure that she is safe and worry-free, Mother Xu will never be stupid to make things difficult for Su Ke.

"The old lady is sick, and it is inevitable that her temper will be good and bad. Mother Xu also had no choice but to move the idea of plum wine, and my sister worked hard to get it, but somehow it made the old lady unhappy. My sister suffered this dumb loss, we all know in our hearts, if something happens in the future, we will definitely protect my sister. Wushuang took Su Ke's hand, and his eyes showed a bit of expectation.

Su Ke is a smart person, sometimes too smart, even the virtuous old lady in the palace was surprised how her brain turned so fast.

But Mama Xian has always warned her, don't be smart but be mistaken by being smart, many times being smart is not a good thing.

But what if people find her cleverness? What would she do if she was pushed and rushed by a lot of things, pulling her into □□ and lacking skills, and pretending to be stupid and unable to hide at all? What's even more embarrassing is that now that her two feet are sunk in, and her heart is also partial, how can she sit idly by.

With the sentence "I have worked so hard to get it", Su Ke's heart was already as cold as ice.

"Don't think about it, I don't have any thoughts about Mother Xu." Su Ke became more and more calm, "I hope that the old lady can get better as soon as possible, but the method is not right." Honestly, I caught up with this matter, and I dared to hold the jar and drink it because I had three points of the bottom. It's a really uncomfortable feeling to faint. In another way, if we let Xu's mother drink, now we are in a hurry, taking care of the old lady, and distracting ourselves to take care of Xu's mother. ”

Wushuang nodded approvingly.

"But—" Su Ke bit her lip, Wushuang held her breath, and she didn't know how she changed her tone again. Su Ke squirmed for a long time, and said slowly: "Even you think so, will Mother Xu ...... there Where is she now? If the old lady doesn't have anything important here, I'll go to Mother Xu first. You have seen and known about me, so that Mother Xu thinks that it is not good for me to take Joe. ”

Wushuang hurriedly said: "Old lady, I have me here, Imperial Doctor Liang came to see it in the afternoon, and added a few more soothing doses to the medicine." Now the old lady is sleeping deeply, and nothing will happen. ”

Su Ke responded: "Then I'll go and go back, Mother Xu is also old, in case I think too much about this, it will not be good for my body to fall down." ”

"That's what my sister said." Wushuang seemed to have special feelings for Xu's mother, and her face showed a little worry, "Xu's mother is not in good spirits all day. After we waited for the old lady to go to sleep, she went back to her own room in the back room, and listened to the little girl say that she had not eaten much for dinner. ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the small kitchen and bring two plates of snacks."

Wushuang was very grateful to Su Ke, Su Ke's heart was empty, and his smile became more and more powerless. With a plate of honey and poria cake, Su Ke went to Xu's mother's room in the best position in the back cover room.

There was a lamp lit in the house, and it was indeed waiting for someone.

Su Ke stood still in front of the door, knocked on the door, and said softly: "Mother Xu, I'm Su Ke, have you rested?" ”

After a while, there was a sound of rustling in the house, and Mother Xu came to open the door, and her usual gentle and respectful appearance faded clean on her face, replaced by a kind of confidence in victory.

Su Ke is not an easy person to be manipulated, looking at Mother Xu's expression, she raised her chin slightly, "You have been waiting for me for a long time." ”

"I know that the girl is a smart person and will definitely come, so I am not in a hurry to wait."

Su Ke held the plate of honey and poria cake and smiled evenly, "Then let's go in and talk about it." ”

The furnishings inside the house are simple, and the structure inside and outside is similar to that of Su Kefu's house. It's just that Furui's family was entrusted by Shao Linghang, so all the furniture in the house was added later. Mother Xu's room is relatively simple, there is a round table outside the door, and the tea cup has already been prepared, just waiting for Su Ke to sit down.

The hot water boils the tea leaves, and the light tea soup brings out the slightest fragrance.

"Let's get straight to the point, what are the girls worried about?" Mother Xu sat opposite Su Ke, across the candlestick, the wrinkles and old state on her face were very obvious.

Su Ke didn't bother to hide it anymore, so he said generously: "Mother Xu deliberately pulled Bai Lu to talk under the window, I heard it, and I entered your bureau in the first step." Even if I didn't spit out to dig up the plum wine, my mother would have something else waiting for me, and I would have decided to dig up the plum wine. ”

Mother Xu raised her eyebrows quietly.

Su Ke continued: "The cow woman who guards the back corner door was sent by her mother, or she has already arranged it and deliberately left me free. I was eyeing Aunt Tian's affairs, and my mother already knew that with this opportunity, I would definitely go to the small courtyard when there was no one. Su Ke suddenly said coldly, "I know so much, now Mom tell me, why do you want me to see Aunt Tian?" ”

Mother Xu hooked the corners of her mouth, "Don't the girl want to see her?" ”

"I took the trouble to meet myself, and I was arranged by you to meet me, can I get the same result?"

Hearing this, Mother Xu's face was a little cold, "Everything in that room is the status quo, and her madness is not pretended." You are so clever that you are not what you really are, how can you be deceived? So what you see is what you want to see, and I haven't touched it. It's just that you're lucky, and you're smart enough to come back with plum wine without much effort. ”

Su Ke took a breath, the feeling of being played with in the palm of her hand was really aggrieved, and she kept saying that she was smart and not being led away.

Her chest was stuffy, she forcibly calmed down, and her eyes suddenly looked sharp, "Why are you angry with the old lady?" ”

Mother Xu snorted and laughed, "I'm helping the girl." Master Hou respects the old lady very much, but he can't let go of the girl. He was in a dilemma and didn't know what to choose, with this pen, wouldn't the girl be heavier in the heart of the Hou Ye. ”

Su Ke clenched his fists angrily, "Don't make a fool of me, whether there is plum wine or not, Master Hou attaches great importance to the old lady." So your purpose is not me, it is the old lady. When others come back with this wine, they are afraid that they will die. And I'll get it, and if the Hou Ye is there, it's foolproof. If you move the real character and provoke the contradiction between the Hou Ye and the old lady, it will be even more worthy of you. ”

After saying this, Su Ke's cheeks were slightly flushed, and his mood became angry, "What do you want?" To what end? Watching the old lady get sick? ”

"She deserves it." Mother Xu suddenly became hideous.

Su Ke didn't show weakness either, "You are bold!" ”

Hearing this, Mother Xu chuckled, "If you knew what she had done for so many years, you wouldn't have said that." Su Ke, without you, our chess will always be one step behind. We're at a loss, and that's how you just appeared. It can only be said that Furui has this ability, he grasped Hou Ye's preferences accurately, and sent you into the mansion, and Hou Ye really took a fancy to you. I really want to thank him for having such a niece as you. ”

Somehow, maybe it was because there were more people mentioned, and the matter was involved, and Su Ke's heart became flustered. But gradually, when she sorted out the ideas, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The play was done so much, and she was calculated step by step to let her into the game, just because she didn't catch her handle.

As long as the other party does not have chips in her hand, she can be uncontrolled.

And Mother Xu couldn't help but take her too lightly, looking at what she said, "I also see what Master Hou meant, that is to hold you high and earn your life back." But you yourself know very well that your status is not worthy of the title of Mrs. Hou at all. Do you want to have a flat wife? That would have to be the old lady's nod. ”

Su Ke sneered and didn't answer, waiting for her to continue.

Mother Xu sighed lightly, "You still don't understand." In fact, the old lady likes you very much, with you by the side of the Hou Ye, how many people don't know how important. It's a pity that Hou Ye takes you too seriously, and this amount is enough to threaten the old lady's position in Hou Ye's heart. If one day what the old lady said becomes dispensable in the Hou Ye, and many things need you to come forward to touch the Hou Ye's heart, it will make the old lady sleep. So she wants to send you away, give you a façade, and marry you well. Only in this way can the Hou Ye be willing to let you go. To tell you the truth, if the old lady is not sick, after the New Year, your marriage will be soon. ”

Su Ke found that his body was shaking, angry, annoyed, unhappy, and unwilling.

She pressed her heart step by step to get to today, and after thinking about the road ahead and back, she took her mind out of the closed darkness. She didn't want to be a burden to him, and she didn't want him to make much of a trade-off for her. He swore that he was wronged and uncomfortable, so she should go. Let him think of a way, think of him to find a possibility for the future of the two of them.

But in the end, she really became someone else's weakness to pinch him.

"The old lady's body can't withstand many things, if you are willing to help me, without the old lady's hindrance, with the ability of the Hou Ye, let alone a flat wife, the edict can also be given to you. In the future, if you soar, the entire Hou Mansion can be held in your hands. Don't you want to? If it weren't for Wushuang being too loyal, and Bai Lu not being stable enough, would you be willing to give you this opportunity? ”

Su Ke's voice trembled, "You're not afraid that I'll tell Master Sù about your hooks?" ”

"Sue Sù Hou Ye? Then do you want to marry the poor prisoner of the country, or marry the newly hired Xixi in the palace? Mother Xu's eyes showed a sarcastic smile, "Your heart is high, you won't want to." And even if you really sue Master Hou, I have enough chips in my hand, Su Ke, I am sure enough to dare to drag you in. Why do you think I let you go to the courtyard? Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and when the time comes, you will be the culprit. ”

Seeing Su Ke's face turn from red to pale, Xu's mother leaned over, "Aunt Tian gave birth to a child at the beginning. How did the child die, and for whom he died, I don't think Master Hou would be willing to know. ”

……

Su Ke almost ran away from the door, she desperately needed the cold air to calm her down. The key had already been dropped everywhere, and she ran dizzily and stumbled to the second gate.

The mother-in-law guarding the door knew Su Ke, but seeing her situation, her heart was bulging and she didn't dare to open the door for her.

Su Ke rummaged carefully in the placket, and since she returned to Xiangju, Shao Linghang gave her a waist card. Something really happened, and in his name, he could go in and out of the Hou Mansion. Nursing homes that are kept in outer courtyards can also be deployed at will.

She rummaged for a long time in a panic, showed it to her mother-in-law, and screamed for her to open the door.

The mother-in-law didn't dare to stop again, so she took the key and opened the door for her.

Su Ke was so flamboyant all the way, and finally hit the door of Hefeng Zhai. She slapped them desperately, and there was a sound in the courtyard, because she answered, Yuechan heard the news, and was surprised that she didn't know what was wrong.

"Where's Master Hou?"

"Master Hou is drinking with Imperial Doctor Liang in the flower hall in front."

Su Ke turned his head and ran, and a group of people behind him chased after him with lanterns. The noise was loud, Shao Linghang walked out of the flower hall, and was just about to ask Shao Yan to see what was going on, when a figure ran under the corridor, only to see the corner of the skirt flying, and the next moment it crashed into his arms.

"Suke?"

Su Ke's tears couldn't stop soaking Shao Linghang's robe, she rubbed it desperately, looked up at him, opened her mouth but couldn't speak.

What to do? What should she do?

Are you going to push him to the edge of a cliff because of her?

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Shao Linghang's voice became flustered, he raised his hand to wipe away Su Ke's messed up tears, his face was very anxious, "Speak, what's wrong?" Don't scare me like that. ”

If you are willing to give up, you will get if you are willing to give up.

Su Ke pursed his lips and buried his face in Shao Linghang's arms, "Save the old lady......"
