The news of the death of the Queen Mother soon spread in the capital.

When Li heard the news, he was secretly a little happy.

The Queen Mother is dead, and her daughter is pregnant again, is it possible to announce her husband's death at this time?

Li was somewhat hesitant, she was afraid that if she told her daughter the news, her daughter would be sad.

If the daughter is depressed, then how can the child in the daughter's womb bear it.

Thinking of this, Li Shi was a little overwhelmed.

When her daughter returned from the palace, Du Lan came to Xia's house and told her: "Old lady, Miss she is happy." ”

Duran is the person who has served her daughter for many years, and she is also her daughter's dowry, so her words will definitely not be false.

Li was both happy and afraid.

She is happy that she is going to be a grandmother, but she is afraid that she does not know how to tell her daughter the news of her husband's death.

When Cuiliu entered the house, she saw Li's confused look, so she couldn't help but interrupt Li's thoughts: "Old lady, what are you thinking?" Worried about Miss? ”

Even if Xia Ruan is now Mrs. Chang'an Hou, Cuiliu still likes to call her the third lady in private, just like before.

Li Shi rubbed his eyebrows, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Cuiliu, should I tell her the news?" After all...... I'm afraid she'll be sad. ”

"Sad?" Cuiliu pursed her lips and approached the Li family a little before saying, "Old lady, don't guess Miss's thoughts, the slave maid is sure that Miss will not be sad." Miss is a smart person, and she will not be sad because her master has passed away. And...... You know that, ma'am. When the old man was alive, how did he treat the young lady. The father-daughter relationship between the young lady and the old man is weak, and the slave is just afraid that the old lady will make you sad. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Li's mouth: "At first, I was a little sad, after all, after living together for so many years, even if I have a kitten and a puppy, I still have feelings." But after a long time, it is not so sad. When I was sick and dying, I actually thought about such a day, maybe because I had been preparing for it for too long. So today, I'm not scared at all. Green willow. I'm going to announce the news of my lord's death, and now that the queen mother has also died, I just took this opportunity to ......"

Cuiliu nodded: "Old lady, what you said is true." The corpse of the master. I'm afraid I can't put it anymore. Already...... A few days ago, Miss Four wanted to go to the yard to see. Slaves...... The slave felt that the fourth lady seemed to know something. ”

"Know? Know how. Li Shi smiled coldly, "If she is safe, I will not treat him badly." If she is restless, I will send her back to Zhuangzi. In the past, I underestimated her, how did she live with my sister-in-law for a period of time, and she became what she is now. If it weren't for the fact that she was the only bloodline of the third brother, why would I take her with me. Cuiliu, I think very clearly now, no one can harm my Ah Ruan and Rui'er. ”

After hearing this, Cuiliu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't have to worry about Madame's thoughts now.

In the past, Mrs. always felt that she owed Miss Four, and she had always been very good to Miss Four in private. But the fourth lady never appreciated it, and felt that Madame should be good to her.

At that time, it was almost autumn, and the lady was just a third lady who made a new dress, and the fourth lady cried in the house for a long time. However, it was the fourth lady who took the initiative to choose to live in the uncle's mansion, because the uncle was not good to the fourth lady, so she ran back to pester the old lady. Cuiliu dared to be angry at that time, but she didn't dare to speak, after all, she was just a subordinate, and there were some things that she really couldn't say much.

She will talk a lot now, because she hopes that Madame will not choose the wrong one again.

Some people are born white-eyed wolves, and they can't raise them well.

Cuiliu made a cup of hot tea for the Li family, and then said softly: "Did the slave maid let the seaweed go to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion to inform the master?" ”

Li Shi took the hot tea from Cuiliu's hand and took a sip slowly before saying, "I...... I'll think about how to tell her about it. ”

"This can't be delayed any longer." Cuiliu knew that Madame was not good at lying to the third lady, but no matter how good a lie is, it is always a lie, if the third miss wants to know, then she will definitely see the flaw.

In fact, many times, Cuiliu also boldly thought about whether the third lady already knew about the death of the master. None of the things that the third lady sent to the Xia family could be used by the master, and the good materials were basically prepared for the lady.

Cuiliu hesitated for a while before saying, "Madame can just make an excuse at will, anyway, the people around the master's illness know about it." ”

Li put the teacup on the table and nodded: "It's just that I heard that the old man of the Lin family is going to enter Beijing in a few days, will it be at this time?" Cuiliu, I'm worried that I won't be able to handle this matter. ”

"If my uncle cares about Miss, this matter is not a big deal at all." Cuiliu straightened up and said with some disdain, "It was my uncle who wanted to marry the third lady, and it wasn't our young lady who posted it." And birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, is it because the old man of the Lin family is coming, who is not allowed to get sick and who dies? Madam, if you don't like it, don't take the initiative to have dealings with the people of the Lin family, and the Xia family is no worse than the Lin family. ”

The Lin family is a famous family in the rivers and lakes, but the Xia family is now also a well-known businessman in the capital. Although the merchants are the last in the ranking, the Xia family is different from ordinary merchants.

The Li family is the only concubine of Chengguo Gong, although it is no longer in the genealogy of the Li family, but this does not affect the brother-sister friendship between Li Changfeng and the Li family.

Some people outside said that Xia Ruan's marriage to Xiao Jiu was Gao Pan, but Cuiliu felt disdainful of this.

It was Xiao Jiu who insisted on marrying Xia Ruan, and Cuiliu knew a little about the affairs of the Xiao family, so she didn't approve of this family affair at the beginning.

However, the happiness of the third miss, the third miss will choose by herself. No matter how bad she felt about the Xiao family, she could only hide these words in her heart.

However, if anyone dares to say that the Xia family is inferior to the Lin family, Cuiliu will definitely be the first to stand up and refute it.

"Well, then you go and prepare, and let the seaweed tell Ruan Yatou." Li knows that his temperament is too weak many times, so he has suffered a lot over the years. In fact, sometimes, as Cuiliu said, you should never bow your head when you should be tough. At this time, the Li family also understood that her weakness would become a burden to her daughter and son, so she didn't think about it anymore, "I will handle the affairs of the Lin family well." ”

The Li family felt that the old man of the Lin family would enter Beijing now, which was definitely not a good person.

When Xiao Jiu and his daughter got married, although the old man of the Lin family symbolically sent some things, he did not come to the capital in person, saying that he was sick and should not travel far. Now that Xiao Jiu and his daughter have been married for less than a year, the old man of the Lin family is in a hurry to enter Beijing again. It's nothing more than trying to tell the people around you. He was not satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

Moreover, it is said that the old man of the Lin family also brought a person who should not be brought by his side.

……

Inside the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

Xia Ruan was gently rubbing his eyes.

She has been feeling very tired lately, her body is getting lazier day by day, and she is not as energetic as she used to be in many things.

Du Ruo said. People who have a body. It's all like this.

Xia Ruan sighed helplessly. Putting the ledger in his hand farther away, he couldn't help but take a sip of tea.

"Ma'am." Du Ruo knocked on the door, "Seaweed is here." ”

Xia Ruan raised his head. Outside the house, he said, "Let her in." ”

Seaweed is a girl given to her mother by her grandfather, and along with seaweed, there are grass and grass fruits that serve by Xia Wen's side, and a duckweed who was supposed to serve by her father's side, and now she has gone to her mother's side. These four girls are exquisite, and besides, my grandfather doesn't believe in people outside, so he will let these girls be by his mother's side, Xia Ruan also knows that these girls are good.

Grandfather did this, Xia Ruan was quite happy.

In this way, she does not have to worry about her mother's safety all day.

Seaweed entered the house and saluted Xia Ruan, "I've seen the third miss." ”

"Get up." Xia Ruan smiled and said to Seaweed, "Did your mother ask you to come over?" ”

Seaweed nodded, then looked into the room again, and saw that there were no outsiders, "Madame asked the slave maid to tell the third lady a message." ”

Xia Ruan somewhat guessed what Seaweed wanted to say, but still pretended to be puzzled: "Huh? What's the news? ”

"Master, I'm dead." Seaweed's eyes were slightly red, "The master has not eaten or drunk for the past few days, and his body is also poor, and he ...... last night And he went. ”

Seaweed is not good at lying, and it is vague to say things, but the meaning is still explained.

Xia Ruan was relieved when she heard this, and her mother finally released the news. Next, the mother didn't have to sleep because of this news.

She asked Duran to tell her mother that she was pregnant, which probably made her mother make up her mind.

After all, his father's body can't be left for too long, and Xia Ruan hopes that her mother will deal with this matter as soon as possible.

Xia Ruan lowered her eyes, she couldn't make a sad look on her face, when her father died in her previous life, she and her mother cried for too long, and almost all the tears were cried. By this point, she couldn't shed a single tear.

Maybe it was because her father died in her previous life, and she always thought that her father was gone.

So, now she doesn't even have a trace of sadness.

"yes, I see." After half a ring, Xia Ruan said, "I'll wait for my uncle to come back, and then I'll go back to Xia Mansion with my uncle." ”

Seaweed couldn't see the look on Xia Ruan's face clearly, thinking that Xia Ruan was sad, so he comforted: "Third Miss, you have to mourn and change, you have to think more about the little world in your belly." ”

Xia Ruan didn't raise his head, just looked at the upper of his shoe: "I know, seaweed, you tell your mother, I'm not sad, I'll be fine." ”

This sentence fell on Seaweed's ears, but it was heard that Xia Ruan was pretending to be strong.

Seaweed opened her mouth to say something more comforting, but she didn't know where to start.

"You go back." Xia Ruan said softly, "I'll clean up and go back as soon as possible." ”

Seaweed sighed in her heart: "The slave and maid know, then the third lady and the slave and maid will retire first." ”

When the seaweed left, Xia Ruan slowly raised her head, and there was no trace of sadness on her face. On the contrary, she put down the big stone in her heart at this time, and felt very relaxed.

Luckily, everything was as she expected. (To be continued......)

PS: T.T is back late today, and the update has been delayed until now.

I'm sorry to tell everyone.

It's almost five o'clock now, and I can't bear to sleep for a while, and I'll make up for the double watch I said yesterday when I get up.
