Just when Lin Long was stunned, Zhong Zheng had already pulled her to the other side.

Lin Long came back to his senses, immediately stopped, and said with a straight face, "Uncle, my grandmother is still sick, I can't leave well now, if you have anything to say here, your nephew and daughter-in-law will listen to you." ”

She doesn't want to be led by Zhong Zheng's nose, but the other party's seniority is higher than her, so it's better not to turn her face or not to turn her face, so she should give her grandmother Zhong Youshi a face.

"Here?" Zhong Zheng looked around, this is just the corridor in front of Zhong You's house, what is the difference between talking here and shouting with an open voice?

Her eyes were full of disgust and reluctance.

"Yes, here." Lin Long didn't budge, "Ming people don't say secret words, my aunt has something to say, and there are no outsiders anyway." ”

Zhong Zheng looked around again, because of Ye Zhong's arrival, except for the daughter-in-law of the big house who stayed to serve the sick, everyone else had already retreated to each courtyard first, but not many masters in the mansion stayed here.

It's not a grandmother who is really related by blood, many people are just doing face-saving work, but Dafang is desperately stuttering, and he is a little disdainful when he thinks about it.

However, these subordinates are also jealous, these people are not her cronies, although she has been in the house for a long time, but in the end she is not in the palm of her hand, she can't get into a lot of power, she can only watch the scenery of the daughter-in-law of the big house, and she is unwilling to come.

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip with hatred on her face.

Lin Longshi was very impatient to associate with her, as her mother-in-law said, even if this person climbed Shenwu Hou and became Mrs. Hou, she still had a small family spirit, and her background may not determine her temperament, but it will have a little impact.

"My aunt has nothing to say, so my nephew and daughter-in-law will retire first."

With that, she immediately turned and left.

Zhong Zheng didn't expect Lin Long to say that she would leave, she is also an elder, if the former Zhong Guo is still alive, would she dare to be so rude? Don't you just look down on her origin?

Is she willing to be a concubine?

She also wants to give birth to her wife's belly, so that she can marry a wishful husband, and she doesn't have to go to great lengths to seduce an old man in order to barely be a housekeeper.

But she just didn't have a good fetus, and she was born in her aunt's belly.

Looking at Lin Long's back, she gritted her teeth with hatred.

However, she has always done whatever it takes to achieve her goals, so why did she really let Lin Long go like this?

Then he trotted forward and grabbed Lin Long's arm, and reluctantly smirked: "Don't worry, nephew and daughter-in-law, I haven't finished my words yet, just say it here, it's not a shameful thing." She patted the back of Lin Long's hand and deliberately made an understanding expression, "We don't say secret words." ”

Lin Long really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd, and she couldn't leave when she pulled her away, so she really wasn't in the mood to deal with her anymore, she said with a cold face, "Then my aunt should quickly open the skylight and say something, I have to go in and see my grandmother's situation again." ”

Zhong Zhengshi smiled, "That's, that's." He held Lin Long's arm affectionately, but his eyes glanced at the henchman he brought from his mother's house.

Lin Long didn't like to hook up with her and pretend to be affectionate, but he just wanted to pull his hand out, so he asked the other party to hold it tighter, and this time his face sank.

"My aunt is an elder anyway, this elder has to look like an elder, and be looked down upon, what is the matter with the two of us? The niece and daughter-in-law are the juniors in the end, and they don't want to be said to be disrespectful to their elders. ”

The word elder in her words was almost spit out with words, the purpose was to make Zhong Zheng's self-respect.

Who knows that Zhong Zheng didn't know whether he didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he waved his hand indifferently and said, "If I don't say it, who in this mansion dares to break his mouth like this?" I turned around and cut out her tongue. ”

When he met such a cheeky woman, Lin Long really had no choice, and people didn't eat oil and salt.

Seeing Lin Long's undisguised impatience this time, Zhong Zheng's family couldn't go around the bend anymore, so he approached Lin Long and said straight to the point, "I have something I want to ask my nephew and daughter-in-law about this, my nephew and daughter-in-law have married into the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and they have been born to their nephews one child after another, and the fetus are all sons, so I really envy others." A little embarrassed, he covered his lips with a handkerchief, "This, what is the secret recipe for my nephew and daughter-in-law to have children?" Can you teach a little bit to my aunt to use? ”

Lin Long suddenly looked at her with a sense of enlightenment, it turned out that her purpose was this, and she suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

It's no wonder that Zhong Zheng's family is nervous about the issue of heirs, of course, Shenwuhou's age is not young, the children who were born with Zhong Guo's before have grown up, as for the concubine, Zhong Guo's family estimated that he watched it closely before his death, and there were not many concubines, and after her death, there was nothing to come out of the backyard.

Zhong Zheng is still young, of course he wants to take this opportunity to give birth to a son and a half daughter, after all, no matter how close other people's children are, and it is not her turn to get close to them when they are all adults.

But to understand it, how can she have any secret recipe for giving birth to children for others to use?

"My nephew and daughter-in-law understand my aunt's mood very well, but this child is rewarded by God, and my nephew and daughter-in-law really don't have any secret recipes for giving birth to children or anything like that for my aunt's reference......"

Before she finished her words, Zhong Zheng's expression changed, "Why do nephews and daughters-in-law tell lies to perfunctory me? If you don't want to tell me, just say it, I'm still different from them, so aren't you a broken daughter before you make a career? Why do you look down on people? Although I am a concubine, my father is still ......."

Lin Long also didn't wait for her to finish speaking, he directly pulled out the hand that was surrounded by her, and looked at her with a cold expression, "I think my aunt misunderstood, the matter you asked has already been asked, you can go and inquire, my answer is always like this, after all, this is the truth, there is no need for me to fabricate lies to deceive my aunt." ”

Seeing that Zhong Zheng's expression was very unnatural, Lin Long felt that he really couldn't communicate with her, so he didn't want to be perfunctory with her anymore, "Uncle, whether you believe it or not, I still say that, no." After a pause, "Besides, I don't look down on your background, I think it's because my aunt is not confident that she always thinks that there is something wrong with other people's eyes." If my aunt is fine, I will leave and visit my grandmother. ”

As soon as the words fell, she turned around and left directly, too lazy to talk to her again, Zhong Zheng was too self-righteous, and he was completely a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

This time, Zhong Zheng didn't stop Lin Long again, watching Lin Long gradually walk away, she rolled up the towel hatefully, what's so great about this woman? It's not that she will be valued by her husband's family if she will be born, and she is not much better than her, but she is better than her life and marries a good husband.

"Madam, don't be annoyed, if you really want to have a child, the old slave will inquire, why bother to pull down your face and beg someone?" Her cronies stepped forward and persuaded, "Besides, look at Mrs. Xiangyang's Marquis who dragged 2580,000 yuan, which one is a good match?" Isn't it boring for the wife to beg her? ”

"Don't talk about it." Zhong Zheng's tone interrupted her fiercely, didn't she see that she was being cut by Lin Long? It's really a pot that can't be opened.

The cronie immediately shut up.

Zhong Zhengshi also turned around angrily, and didn't go to Zhong You's bed to pretend to be filial piety, anyway, no one in this house can afford her, and she only scratches her boots when she goes to bedside, so it's better to go back to sleep.

As soon as Lin Long lifted the curtain and entered the house, he saw the eldest grandmother of the Zhong family looking behind the curtain, and couldn't help but glance at her curiously, "Cousin-in-law, who are you?" ”

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family pulled Lin Long aside and whispered, "Cousin, what did that woman say to you just now?" ”

Lin Long didn't react at first who the woman she was referring to, but after a while, she realized that she was talking about Zhong Zheng's family, so she said: "I didn't say anything, just ask me the secret recipe for giving birth, cousin-in-law, do you say it's ridiculous?" What is my secret to having children? If it did, I wouldn't mind giving it to her, but I didn't. ”

This matter is not unspeakable, and besides, there is no need for her to hide it for Zhong Zheng.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family pouted and said, "She wants to be born, she really wants to be beautiful." ”

Lin Long thought about it carefully, it is understandable that Zhong Zheng's family wants to have a son and a half daughter, otherwise who will they rely on when they are old? It's not crawling out of your belly, and it's always hard to get close.

Just like the old lady Gu Jin in the step-room before the Gu family, there is no one son and half daughter, the old man has to look at the face of the stepson and the stepson and daughter-in-law.

But she didn't say this, if Zhong Zheng's family gave birth to a child, he would be a son-in-law, and the first thing to damage was the interests of the big house, and it was reasonable that the Zhong family's grandmother didn't want to see her give birth to a child, human nature was selfish, as long as she didn't mean to hurt people, she wouldn't blame too much.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family immediately became intimate with Lin Long now, in her thoughts, she was naturally inclined to Lin Long deliberately did not give Zhong Zheng's secret recipe for giving birth to children, after all, Lin Long gave birth to six sons in four children, if you say that you don't have children, who believes the secret recipe?

If it was her, she didn't believe it, but she had already given birth to a son-in-law, so it was not uncommon for Lin Long to have a child, of course, Lin Long was happy with Zhong Zheng's attitude.

Lin Long could see her thoughts from her actions, but she couldn't laugh or cry, sometimes people tell the truth and no one believes it, it's really difficult to be a person.

"By the way, is my grandmother better?" Lin Long wanted to lift the curtain and go in to have a look.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family grabbed her, "When my cousin and sister just went out, my grandmother woke up, and now she is talking to my aunt, so I avoided it so that their mother and daughter can talk well, and it is not too late for us to go in later." ”

Lin Long didn't lift the curtain at this time, but chatted with the eldest grandmother of the Zhong family in the outer hall without saying a word.

Because of the reason for introducing Lin Long as a confidant, the eldest grandmother of the Zhong family talked about all the trivial things in the family like pouring beans, starting from the strange things of the Zhong Zheng family, and then to the friction between the concubines and so on.

Hearing Lin Long's secret distress, she was really not in the mood to listen to the trivial things in other people's houses, and it was not good to comment, otherwise it would be necessary to cause a dispute of words, so she only occasionally put on a sentence "really", "yes", "oh" and other words that do not have personal likes and dislikes.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family didn't think so, anyway, she was on the rise now, so it was good for someone to listen, and the others were not forced.

The mother and daughter in the back room were also talking about themselves.

Ye Zhongshi saw that his mother could wake up, so he let go of his heart, and now he waited for the next person to decoct the medicine and send it, and at this moment adjusted the height of the pillow for his mother, and there was still a little resentment on his face.

"Mother, eldest brother, the older you get, the more unseemly you become, what did you marry? It's really disgusting to make you angry, I'm going to talk about him later......"

Zhong Youshi stretched out his hand and grabbed his daughter's sleeve, and said weakly, "Forget it, it's useless for you to say anything, how long can I live?" Just let them fight, anyway, I won't see these filthy things if I'm gone, so let them go. ”

After this nine deaths and one life, Zhong Youshi can see that he really has no life at this age, if it wasn't for her daughter calling her all the time, she was afraid that she would really cross the Nai He Bridge, and she wouldn't care what happened in the future.

It's just a pity that the title of Marquis of Shenwu, just because she didn't have a good stomach, she couldn't give birth to a son, and she could only watch being collapsed by others step by step, it's just that, these things don't bring to life or death, why should she be persistent?

"Mother, you still have to live a long time to be good......" Ye Zhongshi wiped his tears from the sadness when he heard this.

Zhong Youshi patted her daughter's hand, "Mother is looking forward to Sister Zi'er coming out of the cabinet now, you have no worries, I can close my eyes without worry, if I can see your sisters come back to see me for the last time, I will die without regrets." ”

Several daughters, only the eldest daughter has always been by her side, and the others have been released with her husband, and they haven't been able to see each other for many years, and this heart is still worried.

"I'm going to write to them and ask them to go back to Beijing to see their mother." Ye Zhong's said.

Zhong Youshi waved his hand weakly, "Don't, don't, it's not easy for them to be outside, the older the man, the more restless he becomes, if he leaves with his front foot and carries a few rooms of aunts behind, wouldn't he be guilty again?" When I am gone, I will inform them to return to Beijing for the funeral, and during the mourning period, your brothers-in-law can be more peaceful. ”

Which official does not pay attention to etiquette and does not want to be faced? Accepting a concubine into the door during the mother-in-law's new funeral period, isn't this a poke in the backbone?

Hearing this, Ye Zhong's expression darkened a little, Ye Mingsui is such a person, can she still expect her brothers-in-law to keep to themselves? That's undoubtedly a fool's dream.

When Zhong Youshi saw her daughter like this, she knew that she thought of Ye Mingxun, so she blamed herself again, "It's all my mother who was blind at the time, and I chose such a husband for you, which is much worse than your brothers-in-law, and my mother is sorry for you......"

"Mother, you're all old, what are you talking about?" Ye Zhong reprimanded, "I now have a son and daughter-in-law who are filial, I don't know how good my life is?" When I marry my grandson and my granddaughter-in-law in the future, I will hold a great-grandson, who in the capital will not envy me at that time? ”

She took out Lin Long's words to comfort her mother that day, and when she saw that a smile gradually appeared on her mother's face, she barely laughed.

"So my mother has to live longer."

When Zhong Youshi heard this, her mood was really much more relaxed, and she was not in the mood to care so much about her adopted son who was now more and more disobedient to her command, and yes, after all, she was not her own flesh and blood, how could she really be filial to her?

At this moment, the curtain was lifted.

Ye Zhongshi got up and turned his head to look over, and saw that the eldest brother Shenwu Hou personally brought the medicine in, and said with a smile on his face, "I heard that my mother woke up, so my son quickly brought the medicine and brought it to my mother, and my mother drank it while it was hot." ”

Zhong Youshi watched this adopted son approach with a cold face, and did not refuse him to feed him medicine, after all, he has been a mother and son for decades, no matter how much she doesn't like him, there is no need to make him lose face.

Shenwu Hou saw that his adoptive mother didn't show him, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although the older he gets, the more opinions he has on this adoptive mother, but after all, the other party's Yu Wei is still there, and once he gets angry, he is still a little afraid.

Ye Zhongshi looked coldly at the eldest brother pretending to be a filial son in front of the bed, and when he looked at it, he only saw his mother's eldest nephew and daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law Lin Long there, so he said without yin or yang, "This mother-in-law is sick, and my sister-in-law is just coming to see it?" Does this sound like a word? ”

Zhong Youshi glanced at her daughter and asked her not to mention this pot, her eyes were full of helplessness, no matter what, this is just her daughter who loves her, so she has to let her daughter go.

Shenwu Hou's expression was a little uncomfortable, he could be majestic in front of his son and daughter-in-law, but he couldn't be majestic in front of this adoptive mother, "I'm going to let someone call her to serve the sick......"

"Didn't you call for it sincerely? Save and be angry with my mother, when the time comes, I will have to find her desperately, she is young and ignorant, and the eldest brother has to discipline and discipline, don't be so spoiled that you forget who you are. ”

Ye Zhong's words hurt Zhong Zheng's with guns and sticks, and Shenwuhou blushed with shame, especially the sentence that was young and ignorant, which made him feel embarrassed that the old cow ate tender grass.

It's nothing to take a concubine of an age, but marrying a young stepfamily will make people criticize, he couldn't control it for a while, and when people are old, they crave the body of a young girl, so that they can feel that they are not old.

"I'll talk about her later." He could only reply with a sneer.

Ye Zhong snorted coldly, and didn't point the finger at Zhong Zheng's anymore, scheming with Zhong Zheng's would only make her lose face, but she really couldn't get used to the eldest brother and his wife.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family saw her father-in-law eating turtles, not to mention how cool it was, she really admired the aunt of Ye Zhong's family, it seems that she will often invite this aunt back to her house in the future, and see where else can the Zhong Zheng family be majestic?

Lin Long didn't squint his eyes, ignoring the embarrassment of Shenwu Hou, but he was disdainful in his heart, he was not young, and he had to toss so that his descendants would not have a peaceful life, this Shenwu Hou was really despised.

Because his mother was sick, Ye Zhong planned to stay overnight and then go back, and the trivial matters at home could only be handed over to Lin Long.

Lin Long was about to say goodbye and return home, when she saw her husband Ye Xuyao and her uncle Ye Xurong come in with a curtain, and as soon as they came in, they gave Zhong You a salute.

"I heard that my grandmother is sick, so I came to visit, is my grandmother okay?" Ye Xuyao said.

When Zhong Youshi saw his grandsons, he was in a good mood, and said busily, "If it's not in the way, just take a few doses of medicine, and don't make a special trip to visit me, it's important to be busy with business." ”

"No matter how important the business is, it is not as important as my grandmother's body." Ye Xurong saw that Zhong You's face was fine, so he smiled.

Zhong Youshi really smiled even more happily, "You kid just has a sweet mouth." ”

"It's just two more turns, and it won't get in the way." Ye Xuyao said, "The most important thing is that my grandmother's body is strong. ”

Ye Zhong said, "Okay, okay, all the good words have been said by your brothers, and my grandmother's body is not yet well, so I won't leave you to eat, so hurry up and go home." ”

At this time, the curtain was lifted with no hands, Zhong Zheng came in with a medicine bowl, and was stunned when he saw a room of people, and when she saw Ye Xuyao, her eyes couldn't help but light up, she liked such a man, and her eyes couldn't help but aim at him.

Ye Xuyao felt that someone was looking at him, and looked at him coldly with an unkind expression, this woman should probably be the stepfamily of his uncle Shenwu Marquis, looking at those eyes, he knew that this person was not right, and he didn't know what kind of vision his uncle was?

Lin Long, who was on the side, naturally saw that Zhong Zheng's appearance of looking at her husband was a little unspeakably weird, her face immediately lengthened, and she stepped forward and said, "Uncle is here to visit her grandmother, right?" Husband, hurry up and give it to your aunt. ”

Only then did Zhong Zheng know Ye Xuyao's identity, she had not been married into the Shenwu Marquis Mansion for a long time, and besides, men have never been in the backyard, so this was the first time she had seen Ye Xuyao, but she didn't expect it to be Lin Long's husband.

At this moment, her jealousy of Lin Long rose to the phoenix, such a man actually did not belong to her, and when she thought that she was worthy of an old man, her heart was extremely uncomfortable and jealous.

The grandmother of the Zhong family on the side said disdainfully, "Mother-in-law, if you delay the decoction, it will be cold, how can grandmother drink it then?" ”

When Zhong Zheng heard this, he glared at his stepson and daughter-in-law in displeasure, and then continued to step forward.

Ye Zhong's attention was all on his mother, but he didn't pay attention to the scene just now, otherwise how could he be so calm? Seeing Zhong Zheng's smiling face, she said coldly, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law come for so long, I must be very busy, why does my sister-in-law do this herself?" Just let your nephew and daughter-in-law serve it. ”

How could Zhong Zheng not hear the meaning of these words? is dissatisfied that she did not fulfill her filial piety in front of Zhong You's bed, and the old man also took this point to attack her for the first time just now, so she reluctantly came over to serve the sick.

"What did my aunt say? As a daughter-in-law, it is my duty to serve my mother-in-law. She picked nice words to say.

Ye Zhong's cold face was about to say something prickly, but Zhong Youshi held his daughter's hand and didn't look at Zhong Zheng's eyes, "Bring it up." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law." Only then did Zhong Zhengshi raise his chin and step forward, and personally fed Zhong Youshi the medicine.

Ye Zhong was still angry, his face was turned to the side, and he didn't want to see this new sister-in-law again.

Taking advantage of her mother's medicine, she urged her two sons and eldest daughter-in-law to hurry home, this Shenwu Hou Mansion was smoky, if it wasn't for her mother's illness, she didn't want to stay for a long time.

Lin Long also wanted to leave a long time ago, and she really didn't want to see this new aunt again, she was uncomfortable when she looked at her husband.

Ye Xuyao had similar thoughts to his wife, so he bowed to his grandmother Zhong Youshi and said goodbye.

Zhong Youshi waved his hand and said, "Let's go back." ”

Ye Xuyao left with his wife and brother.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family hurried forward.

Zhong Zheng waited for his mother-in-law Zhong You to drink medicine, and when he saw a few people leaving out of the corner of his eye, he snorted lightly with a disapproving face.

What a shrewd person is Chung Youshi? How could she not see her small movements, and she became more and more displeased with this new daughter-in-law, and she was a little family, and she didn't know what kind of vision the adopted son was? If you want to marry a stepwife, pick a good one.

Now that I have married someone like this, I am afraid that the Shenwu Marquis Mansion will not be peaceful in the future.

In the corridor outside, the eldest grandmother of the Zhong family pulled Lin Long to walk behind, and saw that the two cousins in front of her were farther away, so she whispered, "You just saw it, right?" She looked at her eldest cousin and couldn't roll her eyes, which was really unruly. ”

Lin Long naturally knew who she was talking about, and the look on her face was naturally not very good-looking, but she was kind and did not say anything to slander Zhong Zheng's family.

Anyway, men rarely go to the inner courtyard, and Zhong Zheng's family can't do any tricks, but his own man is stared at like this by a person who can call his aunt, how can he feel comfortable?

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family actually didn't care if Lin Long replied or not, "I think she will have to cuckold her father-in-law sooner or later, you said that she is younger than us, how can she be willing to follow an old man?" No matter how good the father-in-law grows up when he is young, can this age be better than that of young people? No, I also have to watch my husband closely, so that she doesn't have to go hungry, and it will be bad if there is any scandal at that time. ”

The man in her family is also a beauty-loving person, even if the red rice outside is a confidant, she can get by with only one eye closed, and there are a few aunts and rooms in the house, under her high-pressure rule, they are still keeping to themselves, and now there is a fox mother-in-law, can she not pay attention to it?

Lin Long patted her hand and said, "The more you talk about it, the more terrifying it becomes, she is also from a big family, and her mother-in-law is estimated to be educated when she is a girl, so she won't really do embarrassing things." ”

"That's hard to say, she hasn't given birth to a son yet, in case, I mean in case, my father-in-law is useless, she is afraid that she will seek another development, and the idea of hitting other men in the house is undecided."

The more she thinks about it now, the more she thinks it is possible, it seems that she also has to communicate with other concubines, so as not to let Zhong Zheng's fox son-in-law have a chance to take advantage of it, so her father-in-law stupidly believes her.

Lin Long was speechless immediately, but then again, Zhong Zheng's own anger was not competitive, since he chose to marry Shenwu Hou, a man who could be her father, he would do a good job in this steproom.

"No, I have to send someone to keep an eye on it in private, I can't let her be confused, it's a small matter to cuckold my father-in-law in the future, if I really give birth to a mongrel and think it will be bad if I think it's the bloodline of our Shenwu Marquis Mansion."

When Lin Long heard this, his brows tightened, and he felt that he couldn't listen anymore, since this Zhong family's eldest grandmother had this suspicion, the Zhong Zheng family would definitely not be able to please her in the future, but she was not a saint herself, so it was best not to mix this matter.

Just as she saw the carriage coming, she hurriedly said something to say goodbye.

The eldest grandmother of the Zhong family found out that Lin Long was a good listener today, and she was very reluctant to let her go, and kept holding her hand and said, "My cousin and sister will come over to talk to me when they have time, and our sisters are close to each other." ”

Lin Long naturally said "good", of course, whether to do it or not is another matter.

There are many rights and wrongs in the mansion, and she knows it well, especially in a structure like the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, there must be more battles, and fools will send them to the door to give people an opportunity to take advantage of.

When she got into the carriage and sat beside her husband, she breathed a sigh of relief, tilted her head on her husband's shoulder, pulled a handkerchief and fanned the wind, and finally coped with the grandmother of the Zhong family.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Xuyao glanced at her with a smile in his eyes.
