Time is the best medicine for wounds, but it is chronic.

Xia Fucheng was determined to marry his aunt this time, and no one could stop him.

At night, I don't know why Xia Fucheng and the Li family quarreled endlessly, but after Xia Ruan got up, he found that his father had already left.

Xia Ruan Zhilu said that her mother had never been willing to talk back to her father over the years. This time, the mother promised to let the father marry the new aunt, and she would never regret it, so what are they arguing about?

Before she had time to figure it out, something happened to her mother again.

Li's illness was menacing, and the fever was very hot, so that Dr. Zhou was helpless.

Xia Ruan was in a hurry, and he could only stay by Li's side, holding a water-soaked handkerchief again and again, and wiping Li's body.

"Miss, go and rest for a while, just let the slave come here." Cuiliu's eyes were red, and her throat was a little choked, "You haven't closed your eyes for a few days." ”

Xia Ruan shook his head, slightly tired: "It's okay, you go and rest." ”

How can she close her eyes now, as soon as she closes her eyes, she will have nightmares. She had carefully avoided conflict with her father, but she still let her mother suffer now.

Mother pretends to be strong these days, but in fact, she doesn't know how many times she has tossed herself in her heart.

Xia Ruan Zhilu said that her mother had spent too much time on her father's body, and it had become an instinct and habit to be good to her father.

When a mother falls in love with her father, she does not hesitate, like a moth to a fire. She used to be like this, knowing that Tang Jingxuan couldn't see her own efforts, but she would still do those things.

"Cuiliu, you say...... You said that if you persuade your mother to reconcile and leave, will it be better in the future? When Xia Ruan said this, his expression was a little sluggish. It's better to persuade the mother to let go, at least she won't lose her life.

Cuiliu was taken aback when she heard this, and almost covered Xia Ruan's mouth at the moment, she anxiously glanced at Li Shi who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and then said slowly: "Miss, you can't talk nonsense, Madame will be sad when she hears it." ”

Xia Ruan's chest was stuffy, how could she not know that it was completely impossible for her to do this? The father would rather believe outsiders, but he would not believe half of her and her mother's words, as if their mother and daughter were like wolves, tigers and leopards. Xia Ruan sat dumbfounded, but she didn't know how to answer Cuiliu again, because she knew that Lu Dao's words were just deceiving herself.

The room was quiet for a while, and Cuiliu spoke again: "Actually...... Miss, the slave knows that you think about Mrs. in your heart, but if Mrs. really let go, she would not have been like this with the Li family in the first place. The slave shouldn't have told you this, but Miss, Madame is so wronged now, but it's all for you. ”

After finishing speaking, Cuiliu bit her lower lip, tears rolling in her eyes. Xia Ruan knew that Cuiliu was really afraid that she would say that.

In this icy night, Xia Ruan was cold and powerless to say a word.

※※

Early in the morning, Zhao led a group of people to visit the patient.

Xia Ruan looked at the posture of the eldest aunt, not like she was here to visit the patient, but more like she had come to see the excitement, with a look of schadenfreude on her face.

Standing beside Zhao was a strange woman, wearing a blue-gray silver mouse jacket, a green and gold embroidered cotton skirt, and a blue satin gray mouse gown. It looks like an aunt from a family, and I'm afraid I'm going to watch the excitement with my aunt today.

"Tell me how this house is making trouble, it's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, and I'm actually sick at this time." With a sarcastic smile on her face, Zhao said half-truthfully, "I'll see if I've provoked something unclean." ”

The eldest aunt has exquisite makeup today, but she still can't hide her pale face, why will the eldest aunt become like this, Xia Ruan naturally knows in her heart.

"The eldest aunt said the same, I have to invite the Taoist chief to come to the house to take a look after the year, and I don't know if my mother has been cursed by the villain, and she has been unable to live in peace recently." Xia Ruan glanced at Wang Yuehua who was not far away and said, then changed the topic, "It's been hard work for Mother Wang recently, this girl Cuiyu is a blessed person, so I bother you to take care of it." ”

When he said this, Xia Ruan smiled helplessly, and then added: "Look, my memory, I have forgotten that Mother Wang has known Cuiyu, where do you need me to talk more here." ”

One prickly sentence after another made the blood on Zhao's face completely gone, and she couldn't help but glance at Wang Yuehua behind her, as if she wanted to see something from Wang Yuehua's face.

Wang Yuehua was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly explained: "The third young lady said that she laughed, the slave maid can know Cuiyu. It's just that now there is no one around the third lady to serve. The slave maid thought, or send the jade back. There were a lot of things to do this year ago, and it was always good to have someone to help you out. ”

Xia Ruan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"If you don't know the way, you still think that it is Mother Wang who has the final say in the house now. Jade is a gift from my father to my uncle, how can I come back. Xia Ruan looked at Zhao's expression and said slowly, "Father said that he would marry his aunt after the beginning of spring, which is a coincidence, this aunt is Cuiyu's cousin." Cuiyu is a blessed person, and it is also her blessing to be able to serve by her uncle's side, Mother Wang, do you say? ”

Wang Yuehua's eyes widened, she never thought that Xia Ruan would actually ask this sentence back.

Doesn't this make Zhao treat her more like a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?

At this time, I didn't know that it was the mother-in-law next to the Zhao family, and coughed. Only then did Zhao's face soften a little, and he looked at Xia Ruan's expression a little more complicated.

"When my aunt came today, she actually brought some medicinal herbs, which are precious." After Zhao finished speaking, he smiled faintly, "Your father came to borrow money from your eldest uncle a few days ago...... Ruan girl, do you still have money at home to find a doctor? If it's not enough, don't be embarrassed to talk to your aunt, we're all a family. ”

Zhao's words seem to be concerned on the surface, but in fact they are not. There was deep sarcasm and disdain in the words. All seem to prove that she is actually superior.

Naturally, Xia Ruan also noticed that when the eldest aunt said this, she also deliberately glanced at the woman beside her, as if she intended to tell her.

Xia Ruan couldn't help but bow his head, revealing a trace of bitterness: "Auntie...... A few days ago, my father had just taken five hundred taels of silver from the house, but he didn't expect it to be gone so soon. I wonder if it's not going well in business? The eldest uncle was the same a few days ago, but he also lost so much silver? The niece didn't know anything about the business. ”

Zhao's face changed on the spot, but the woman beside Zhao smiled: "The third miss is too modest, the third miss made a lot of money selling cotton a few days ago, right?" ”

When Xia Ruan heard this, she noticed the smile on the woman's face, and she was a little puzzled.

Who is this man?

"This is Aunt Xiao Jialin." Mother Wang seemed to know what Xia Ruan was thinking, and reminded on the side, "I heard that the second lady is sick, so come and take a look." ”

Xia Ruan's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, this Aunt Lin? Isn't that Xiao Jiu's biological mother?

It turned out that the eldest aunt actually had this heart.
