Chapter 11: Scheming
Song Yanzhu was busy dismissing the maid and mother-in-law, so he heard Lin Yuanxiu's voice come out loudly: "Madame, don't be angry, your body is better, and you still need to calm down." โ
Mrs. Song replied: "Why should you take it to heart if a few little maids chew the root of their tongues, the original child itself is not good, if it hurts the root again, how can you have children in the future?" โ
"Want a child?" The Jin family smiled and said, "Doctor Lin, please tell the old lady if I can still conceive a child in this body." โ
Old Lady Song frowned and said, "Are you sick and confused, why did you start talking nonsense again!" โ
She was about to reprimand the Jin family, seeing that Lin Yuanxiu wanted to speak and stopped, his voice gradually weakened, Lin Yuanxiu stepped forward and said: "Back to the words of the old lady Song, the second lady is not easy to get pregnant at this age, but she has a miscarriage in seven months, it is a blessing to be able to save her life, we have exhausted our personnel, if we still want to conceive a child, it only depends on whether God is merciful." โ
"Can you see that? Is there really no cure for this disease? You are a golden saint......" Old Lady Song asked, seeing Lin Yuanxiu shaking his head, Jin's eyes were closed, tears were falling down, so he had to wave his hand and let people send Lin Yuanxiu out.
Mother Li took the opportunity to reply outside the door: "Old lady, madam, the second lady is here." โ
"Let her in." Seeing that the Jin family was crying heavily, Mrs. Song was upset, and raised her voice to let Song Yanzhu enter the door. Waiting for Song Yanzhu to enter the house and salute, Mrs. Song fixed her eyes and saw that the already thin person was getting thinner and thinner, and the strange thing was that although Song Yanzhu lowered his head slightly, his back was very straight, and he looked neither humble nor arrogant. It's not like before, when I saw her, I shrank back, and even flattered her a little clumsiness.
Mrs. Song hadn't seen Song Yanzhu for a long time, but she felt a little different when she looked at it today.
"Raise your head and let Grandmother look at you." Old Lady Song called. Song Yanzhu raised her head, but Mrs. Song's eyes were brighter than before, and she was quiet with a bit of dexterity.
"Are you feeling better?" Old Lady Song asked.
Song Yanzhu nodded: "Grandmother Lao is worried, Yan'er is much better." It was a few more steps to the chest and the pain was terrible, Dr. Lin said, I am afraid that the water will hurt the lungs and have to rest for a while. โ
Mrs. Song said softly "um" and said, "Then listen to the doctor's words and take care of it." You also comfort and comfort your mother, and some things should not be too sharp. โ
Kim was in tears, but his head lowered slightly: the tip of the horns, what is the tip of the horns? has no husband and no fetus, and she has to force her to send the child out, is that the tip of the horns?
Song Yanzhu stood aside obediently, stroked Jin's hand and said, "Mother, I heard what Dr. Lin said, don't be sad, you still have me, and my brother and brother!" โ
Speaking of this, Jin couldn't cry even more, and got up from the bed and was about to kneel in front of the old lady, but the old lady was frightened and scolded: "You two are dead! Don't help the second lady up yet! โ
Peony and Song Yanzhu glanced at each other, hurriedly stepped forward, Jin waved his hand, his whole body fell to the ground, and cried: "Mother, daughter-in-law is not filial, I originally thought that this matter could be covered up, and protecting the lord's face is the most important thing, but I don't know which one killed a thousand knives to spread the matter all over the city." My daughter-in-law used to be ignorant, so she wanted to fight for a breath and not let the woman enter the door, but now, my lord and I have become the laughing stock of the whole city, and even the maids in the house can secretly make fun of my second room...... I don't have the face to be tight, and I even get laughed at by the master! Mother, the daughter-in-law is not fighting, the daughter-in-law will go to the master today, and promise him to welcome the woman into the door and wait for her life. If you are not satisfied, I will give up this position in the main room to that woman, and I will only ask for ...... Just ask for ......"
"What nonsense are you talking in front of your children!" Old Lady Song frowned and scolded.
Jin shook his head again and again, fell to the ground and said, "My daughter-in-law is sincere, mother...... You let me do whatever I want, just don't snatch my child from me! โ
"Who's going to snatch your baby!" Old Lady Song's face turned red and white, and she scolded.
Jin choked up and said: "People outside say that you promised the master, as long as he is willing to pass on Brother He'er to the big house, you will allow him to welcome the woman outside into the door." โ
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Song was furious, and scolded Yuan in her heart. Yes, she did promise Song Shengming to let the woman enter the door, and she also revealed to the Yuan family the idea of passing on Brother He'er to Dafang, but if these two things are said together, it will be a dirty transaction.
In the past few days, Song Shengming's affairs have spread throughout Jianzhou City, and even her former sisters have written to ask about it, and she once wondered if the Jin family deliberately ruined Song Shengming's reputation to relieve her hatred, but today, the Jin family is so grief-stricken, and even angry that she faints, but it doesn't look like she is pretending.
This is good, if Song Shengming really brought that woman back, it would really fall into the mouth of others, and it seems that she, an elder, does not know what is going on, and does not distinguish between black and white. Also, the matter of passing Brother He'er to the big house, I am afraid that it will have to be slowed down, after all, the Jin family has only lost a child and lost their fertility......
Now that I think about it, the most hateful thing is the Yuan family, โกโก such a few maids with broken mouths! If she fights, maybe this brother will already be her son!
Mrs. Song said indignantly: "People outside talk nonsense like this, you actually believe it? You are my daughter-in-law who I personally selected, if I don't agree, who will dare to change you! Brother He'er, I'm just taking care of you for a few days, if you don't feel at ease, I'll let someone take him back in a while! You are so born and raised, in the future, I will make the decision for you! Also, if you want to live a good life with Xiao Er'er, you will be better to him, if you continue to be angry with him like this, he will only love to run out more! You are depressed and complaining all day long, which man likes to watch! โ
Mrs. Song got up and stomped a few steps, the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, the Jin family said that she and Song Shengming had no face, how could she have any face? Rumors are rampant, and she has also become a vicious bad mother-in-law, who is murderous, romantic, and takes away people's heirs, and I don't know how they spread outside the house.
has lived most of her life, and what she values most is face, but someone just wants to slap her in the face!
Song Yanzhu saw that Mrs. Song's face was not good, and he added fuel and vinegar in a soft voice: "Mother, don't you know what grandmother does to us?" She loves you the most on weekdays, and she is the most sensible, how can she treat you like outsiders rumore? Those people outside didn't know how bodhisattva-hearted grandmother was, and they spread bad things about their grandmother like that, which made Yan'er angry...... Isn't that sowing discord? I don't know which one is bad-hearted, I wish I wanted my mother to hate my grandmother, and I wish I could make our family restless! Jiao'er knows who it is, and he must have pulled out her tongue! โ
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Li's voice came from outside the curtain: "Old lady, madam, the eldest lady is coming to us with a group of people tied up two little maids." โ
"Just in time!" Old Lady Song sneered, lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Yan'er, you go out and have a look." The Jin family still had a sad face, but at this moment it became indifferent, with a little disdain in his eyes, and said lightly to Song Yanzhu.
Song Yanzhu hurriedly followed out, only to see several family members kneeling at the door of Jin's house with two maids tied to them, and Yuan's standing at the front. One of the maids, Song Yanzhu, looked at Miansheng, but the other was familiar, and it was the chess service that had been serving by Yuan's side for many years. Seeing the old lady Song, Yuan was busy saluting, and said with sincere fear: "Mother, my daughter-in-law tied these two little hooves that chewed the root of her tongue, what should I do, please ask my mother to instruct!" โ
The two maids stuffed two balls of cloth in their mouths from being tied up, and they could only cry whimpering for a long time, crying full of redness, and messy sideburns. Although Mrs. Song was angry, she was also full of questions. On that day, Song Shengming and the Jin family's affairs, only she, Song Shengming, and the Jin family knew about it, even if Song Yanzhu was added, only the four of them knew about it, and others could only guess if they wanted to guess, how could they even be so clear about the details?
"Take out the strips of cloth from their mouths, I have something to ask them!" The old lady ordered.
Yuan hesitated for a moment, ordered someone to take down their strips of cloth, and as soon as they took it, the two of them wept together, fell to the ground and cried out.
Mrs. Song asked: "Where did you two hear the news, and who taught you to talk nonsense and arrange your master!" โ
"The slave is wronged!" One of the little maids in green clothes bowed twice, and cried: "The slave maid's family lives on the East Street, last night the slave maid came home, the old lady asked me about this, the slave maid was quite angry when she heard it, and when she came back today, she wanted to tell the eldest lady, so that the eldest lady could be prepared, and met the sister of the chess service on the road, thinking that the slave maid was soft-spoken, or let the sister of the chess service tell the lady that it was good, and she would say a few more words in the garden...... The slave is really kind! โ
"What Green Sense says is true!" Shi Qi cried: "The slave maid has been in the house for so many years, and she definitely doesn't dare to talk about the master behind her back!" Please also ask the old lady to take a look! โ
After the two finished speaking, they unconsciously glanced at Yuan, and then lowered their heads.
Song Yanzhu only sneered when he heard this, and asked, "Serving chess, did you really hear about this today?" โ
Shi Qi raised his head, saw Song Yanzhu's indifferent look, and suddenly lost a little confidence in his heart, looked up at Yuan, and saw that she glared at him fiercely, and then had to grit his teeth and say: "Yes, the slave maid only found out today." โ
"What a girl who lies a lot!" Song Yanzhu sneered, bent his legs, knelt in front of Mrs. Song and said: "Grandmother, Yan'er's personal maid Peony heard Shiqin and Shiqi discussing Yan'er in private in the garden yesterday, and Shiqin also said that the slave was very pitiful. Not only that, Yan'er asked the early summer to go to the account room to receive the moon silver today, not only did the chapter manager of the account room not only not give it, but several people in the account room were all gathered together, saying something 'Now everyone in Jianzhou knows that our second master has a small family outside, don't want the second lady, and the second lady is not favored in the house', think about it, the people in the whole house have already known about it, and the words of these two girls are clearly lying to you! โ
"Is that true?" The more Mrs. Song listened, the more unpleasant she became, if what Song Yanzhu said was true, then these subordinates really didn't take the second room in their eyes!
Song Yanzhu called repeatedly: "Early summer, you say!" โ
Chu Xia took two steps forward, knelt down respectfully and bowed, and said clearly word by word: "Old lady, what the young lady just said is what the slave maid heard and saw with her own ears, and the slave maid dares to guarantee the life of the whole family. โ
