Chapter II

The cotton curtain of the hollow pattern outside the room was lifted, Mrs. Xie walked in with a worried face, Hongqu hurriedly stepped aside to salute Xie, Xie is not yet thirty years old this year, she is quite dignified, with moon eyebrows and starry eyes, slightly hanging upward, a little shrewd, but when she looked at Yan Zhaohua, the corners of her mouth were always smiling, and her eyes were indescribably gentle, she was a plump and beautiful woman with a thin powder face, and now she was an upright young woman, looking at those seventeen or eighteen-year-old, flower-like girls, plus her long-sleeved and good at dancing, Eight-sided exquisite, Mrs. Qianhou, that is, Yan Zhaohua's biological mother Xie Wei, not long after giving birth to Yan Zhaohua, she was pregnant with Yan Zhaohua's younger brother Yan Ruiqian, and her body was not well conditioned and she forcibly gave birth to a child, and after giving birth to a child with heavy bleeding, she died at a young age, and she was only sixteen years old when she died. Since then, the Xie family's position as the master mother in the backyard of the Yan family has been established.

After Xie Wei's death, Xie married into Changning Houfu, Yan Zhaohua was raised by Xie, Xie is not only Yan Zhaohua's aunt, but also his mother, Yan Zhaohua is a lie to Xie to say that he has no feelings, so in the past, Yan Zhaohua was quite convinced and respected by Xie, it can be said that he paid to Xie wholeheartedly, treated Xie as her biological mother, and treated Xie's children as her own brothers and sisters, even his own brother Yan Ruiqian can't compare to them, and Xie has always been a spring breeze to Yan Zhaohua, and there is no criticism in his mouth. All the good things in the house are close to Yan Zhaohua, and even her in-laws and children sometimes get not as much as Yan Zhaohua, and over time, everyone is paralyzed, and they all think that Xie is a good and good mother-in-law, but what is the truth? She ruined Yan Zhaohua with a slight poison, let her be buried by her good fate, and lived in pain all her life, and finally could only marry a distant cousin in the side branch, she wanted to live quietly, but Xie Shi still didn't let her go, using her identity to interfere in the affairs of her back house, making her tired of coping every day, miserable, and finally exhausted her energy and died of depression.

Unexpectedly, it was back again, looking at Xie Shi's anxious appearance, Yan Zhaohua sneered in his heart.

I saw Xie Shi wearing a vermilion Shu brocade and treasure pattern dress, with a concentric bun on her head, wearing a gilt pearl hairpin with flowers and beads, and a pair of gold-inlaid ruby earrings on her ears, such a gorgeous dress made her look bright and compelling, so that people knew at a glance that she had just come back from outside, and came to visit Yan Zhaohua before she had time to change her clothes, and walked all the way to Yan Zhaohua's bed, and hurriedly sat down without waiting for Yan Zhaohua to get up and salute, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Do you feel better? Why did I get sick all of a sudden, I wasn't at home for the past two days, and the people in the house were every measure, and I only went back at this time, but fortunately I didn't delay anything, or I didn't know what to do. ”

Xie is only twenty-seven years old, he is not old, and he is so close to nature when he talks to Yan Zhaohua, but who would have thought that behind such closeness and nature, there is such a vicious heart.

Seeing that Yan Zhaohua didn't speak, Xie Shi asked again: "But what else is uncomfortable, do you feel wronged?" These minions who have no king's law, how can they snub you, wait for me to clean them up later, where do you feel uncomfortable, just tell your mother, don't bear what you want to eat, now that you are sick, you want to eat dragon meat, and your mother also wants to get it for you. ”

Yan Zhaohua sneered again in his heart, but his face was as deferential as before, the corners of his mouth moved weakly, and he tried to open his mouth twice, but his throat was really painful, and her tears swirled in her eyes.

"My poor child, how come he is so caught with such a severe cold. It must be that the people in this room are not serving well. Xie Shi rolled his eyebrows and turned to Hongqu, who was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Mrs. is angry, it is the slave maid who is not attentive, although the slave maid has only been in the room for more than two months, the things in the room have always been responsible for dyeing incense and green bamboo, the slave maid has just arrived, some words can not be said, the eldest lady is going to the lake to play, the slaves and maids should be stopped, but they did not come up with this mess, the slave maid should die, please punish the wife."

Yan Zhaohua had a sore throat and couldn't make a sound, but he had to admit that Hongqu was indeed an expert in telling the black, and he hated that he was actually deceived by her in the past.

"So, you went out with the eldest lady before?" Xie asked.

Hongqu hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's not a slave, it's ...... It is incense dyeing. ”

Yan Zhaohua leaned on the pillow, couldn't speak anyway, and simply recalled the past, this time the wind and cold almost killed her, and she couldn't speak for a month or two in a row, not only that, this time the turmoil made all the people around her be punished, among them, naturally Dye Xiang was punished more, as if she was beaten ten boards, and she couldn't get out of bed for several days, and the other people in her yard, more or less, according to the relationship with his wife, were punished differently, in fact, at that time, Yan Zhaohua was stupid, The key is that there is no defense against the Xie family, otherwise, from the severity of the Xie family's handling of the people in her yard, you can see who is the Xie family's person and who is not.

Sure enough, when I heard Xie Shi, he immediately said angrily:

"Hmph, what a eater, if you don't teach a lesson, these blinding slaves don't know how to serve their masters well. Come! ”

With Xie's order, the chief steward Zhang Ping stood outside the door and waited, only to hear Xie Shi say: "Go, send someone to gather all the people in the eldest lady's yard together, this time the mess is so big, dyeing incense is a big crime, hit ten big boards, and the others You look at the punishment, be sure to let these things know what the end of snubbing the eldest lady is." ”

After Xie finished his order, the chief steward Zhang Ping took the order and pulled out the red canal of Qingqueju at the same time.

Zhang Ping is not an ordinary steward, but a distant cousin of Xie's mother's family, which is Xie's dowry, he used to be the second steward in the house, and then after the old steward returned to his hometown, he couldn't find a suitable person for a while, so he let Zhang Ping take on the position of the chief steward.

After turning around, he saw Yan Zhaohua leaning on the pillow without moving, looking weak and unconcerned, this reaction made Xie Shi very satisfied, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said in a motherly manner:

"You don't have to blame me for being troublesome, the minions in the yard can't be rectified, the more you tolerate them, the more they are neglected, this time the care is not good, and the next time I don't know what moths will come out! Mother did it all for your own good. ”

Yan Zhaohua sneered in her heart, she beat all the people in her yard for her good, who else will sincerely do things for her in the future? After a head-on fight, everyone knows who is in charge of this house, but I'm afraid that she will be more and more neglected as a young lady.

Yan Zhaohua also understood these truths when she grew up, but when she understood, she found that there was no one around her anymore, and she regretted it later.

At this time, there was a burst of chaos in the courtyard, Zhang Ping's movements were very fast, and all of a sudden, the people who were waiting in the Qingque Curie were gathered, holding chicken feathers as arrows, and they did not hesitate to punish people in the courtyard.

Yan Zhaohua was weak on the surface, but in fact, the fingernails in the quilt had been pinched into the palm of his hand, forcing himself to calm down, Xie Shi intended to stand up in her yard, even if she stopped it, it would be useless, but it would make Xie Shi wary of her, but she could take this opportunity to see how many of them were loyal in this courtyard.

"People say that illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, look at your weak appearance, don't mention how uncomfortable my mother is, I will let people go to the kitchen to make your favorite red date soup for you, quickly raise your body, let my beautiful girl turn back."

Saying these intimate words, Xie Shi also reached out and touched Yan Zhaohua's forehead, motherly actions and words, if it wasn't for Yan Zhaohua who suffered an irreparable loss at her hands later, how could she believe that Xie Shi is such a vicious person?

But do a full set of plays, Xie Shi plays warmth with her, and she doesn't mind acting with her, anyway, the most difficult time has passed, she has died once, and she has no fear of death, since God has given her the opportunity to be reborn, then what she can do in this life depends on her own ability. These people who have harmed her a lot, this time, she is bound to get back an explanation, and there is no need to rush for a while.

The corners of her mouth pulled out a smile, as fresh as pear blossoms reflecting water, such an outstanding appearance made Xie Shi's eyes flash an imperceptible coldness, but soon recovered, stood up, and the maid next to her immediately came over to tidy up her dress, Xie Shi said:

"You are so born these days, I won't let the second lady come over to disturb you, she heard that you are sick, more anxious than me, if I didn't stop her from coming, she is the most distressed for you, if you really come over, look at your haggard appearance, I guess I am still crying nose."

Yan Zhaohua nodded weakly, Xie Shi led people to the door, just met Hongqu who was rubbing his hands, the two glanced at each other, Xie Shi said: "After eating the lesson, you will be smarter, if the eldest lady has three long and two short in the future, don't say that you are the first to enter the room, I will not spare it." ”

Hongqu bowed her head and said: "The slave and maid know, and in the future, the slave and maid will definitely serve the eldest lady with all their hearts, and they will not dare to make any mistakes." ”

After hearing this, Xie walked from the corridor on the left to the main courtyard, without even looking at the wailing execution scene in the courtyard.
