Chen's mother stood beside He Shi, silent.

At this time, Chen's mother knew very well in her heart that it was better not to say it if she said that it was wrong.

After all, she is just a subordinate, and she doesn't dare to talk about her master's affairs.

Those gold bars......

Chen's mother didn't know about this matter, and He has always been strict-mouthed. It's just that once He was sick and whispered in a dream, and she listened to it because she was serving He's side.

When He Shi said those words from his mouth, Chen's mother was a little frightened when she heard it, but soon Chen's mother calmed down again.

Not many people know about this matter.

Otherwise, the He family should have been cut by the people of the He family a long time ago.

Thinking of this, Chen's mother lowered her head a little more, so as not to be angry with her.

"Bastard, Li Zhiya, you bastard." He stood up and walked around the house, but she only dared to curse Cheng Guogong in private, if she dared to do something that made Cheng Guogong dissatisfied, then now that the gold bar had been given to Xia Ruan, her value would be ......

The more He thought about it, the more frightened she became, she didn't expect Li Zhiya to actually give these gold bars to Xia Ruan, these were the most private family properties in the Chengguo Mansion.

He's eyes were red, and tears fell out, "How come, how can a bastard treat me like this...... I ......"

Chen's mother almost turned her back on He when she saw that He was angry, she took a few steps back, she was afraid that He picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it on her. The wound on her forehead was smashed by He Shi with a vase, and she was somewhat afraid of He Shi.

These days, He's temper is getting bigger and bigger, especially after knowing that Xiao Jiu has returned. It's even more angry that I can't sleep at night. Chen's mother didn't understand what impact Xiao Jiu's marquis had on the He family, after all, Xiao Jiu married Xia Ruan, and the Li family had already been removed from the Li family tree, so Xia Ruan's granddaughter was also unjustifiable.

Mother Chen suddenly thought of the gold bars that appeared in Xia Ruan's dowry, and then her eyes widened.

Could it be that the old man is thinking ......

Mother Chen felt that her hands were full of cold sweat, if the old man really thought like this, then there would not be much of He's good life in the future.

In the past few days, the master's health has been getting worse and worse, and the imperial doctor has come and gone a few times, but Chen's mother has not paid attention to it. After all, my lord has been since that serious illness. My body didn't get better completely. In addition, the Li family's affairs are under great pressure. It's normal for the master to have a small problem.

But what if it's a minor problem?

Chen's mother glanced at He's, and the pain caused by the wound on her forehead made her understand more clearly that He's could no longer be her support at this time. After all, if the old man is dead. Then the head of the mansion in Japan is Li Changfeng. How much Li Changfeng has hated He over the years. Naturally, she was clear.

A few days ago. He wanted Miss Eighteen to be Li Changfeng's steproom.

At the beginning, Miss Eighteen did win the love of the master, and during that time, Chen's mother thought that Miss Eighteen would become the wife of the prince in the future. But Chen's mother never thought that the old man actually knew He's mind for a long time. He showed his affection for Miss Eighteen in order to anger the Ho family.

Because the old man said to Li in private: "Li'er, this girl is well-behaved and sensible, I mean, let her marry me." In this way, the pear can also accompany you, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, He almost fainted.

The old man obviously didn't like Miss Eighteen, and his purpose in doing this was nothing more than to warn the He family.

If the He family dared to meddle in Li Changfeng's family affairs, then the master only needed some means to make these women his concubines.

At that time, the person who has a headache will be He's, not the master.

The old man did this, which really made the He family afraid. Soon, the He family did not dare to let other women come to the mansion as guests, and even Miss Eighteen was placed under house arrest by the He family. The people of the He family know that if Miss Eighteen is a concubine for the master, then it is the people of the He family who will be lost.

The He family was afraid......

After all, Li Changfeng is not a master to be messed with.

"Mother Chen......" He Shi felt that he was holding his breath all over, and his heart felt like he had pressed a thousand catties of boulder, making her unable to breathe, "Go, go and invite the master, go to ......"

He was unwilling, Li Zhiya could do such a thing, which made her feel cold.

Mother Chen nodded, and then said to He: "The old slave knows, and the old slave will go immediately." ”

He took a deep breath, like a defeated rooster, dejected.

After Chen's mother came out of the courtyard, she met Xue Wu, the guard next to Li Changfeng.

Over the years, Xue Wu has been following behind Li Changfeng, like Li Changfeng's shadow. Everyone in the Li Mansion knows that Xue Wu's words actually represent Li Changfeng's words.

"Mother Chen." Xue Wu's stiff face still had no expression, but he just said hello to Chen's mother, "The wound on your forehead?" ”

If this greeting is left on weekdays, Chen's mother is unwilling to deal with it, she will feel that Xue Wu is sarcastic about her.

Moreover, she is the person next to the He family, if she and the people around Li Changfeng get too close, the He family will definitely have suspicions, but at this time, Mother Chen can no longer take care of these.

There are not many good days left for the He family, and it is impossible for her to give the He family a funeral.

Mother Chen covered the wound on her forehead and looked at Xue Wu with a smile: "Steward Xue...... The old body was accidentally dropped a few days ago. ”

Xue Wu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise on his face.

Mother Chen looked at the things Xue Wu was carrying, and asked pretending to be curious, "This is?" ”

"This is the Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots that the emperor gave to the prince, it is said that the harvest of the tea garden this year is not good, and the tribute of Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots is just like that." Xue Wu looked at Chen's mother's expression as he spoke, "The third lady got married, and the prince asked me to take these tea leaves to the third lady's house, saying that it was for entertaining guests." ”

As soon as Xue Wu's words fell, Chen's mother's eyes were round.

Mother Chen is not a fool, she knows that this matter is definitely not as easy as Xue Wu said.

The queen has always liked to drink Gu Zhu's purple bamboo shoots, but now the queen is gone. But the queen is the queen after all, and many things have to be lived on face.

Now that the harvest is not good, the emperor will also reward Gu Zhu with purple bamboo shoots to the prince, there must be other reasons for this. Mother Chen couldn't guess the reason for this, but she understood that Xiao Jiu's status in the emperor's heart would not be too short.

Now He's temper is getting worse and worse, and her life is in He's hands.

Chen's mother didn't know how long she would live, and she was afraid that she would kill her in a fit of rage.

If Xiao Jiu is a figure with a head and a face in front of the emperor, then Xia Ruan, as Xiao Jiu's wife, her ability will not be too small.

"The prince is so good to the third lady." Chen's mother couldn't help but sigh. "The third lady is a good person."

Xue Wu had a faint smile on his lips. did not echo Chen's mother's words.

It was the first time he had heard that Xia Ruan was a good person......

These people always think that Xia Ruan is too simple, but he knows that this woman is not simple at all, Xue Wu feels that Xia Ruan is a little like the son of the world in his bones. It's just a pity for the Li family, she should have the same temperament as the prince. But it was too weak.

……

It was getting dark. Du Ruo stood by Xia Ruan's side a little nervously. Careful.

At this time, the young lady is like a bride. Xia Ruan was holding the account book in her hand, and she didn't seem to want to ask her about it at all.

Du Ruo is a person who has been married. She stayed by Xia Ruan's side just to make Xia Ruan feel at ease.

But her role doesn't seem to be working.

"Miss......" Du Ruo finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Are you thirsty?" ”

Xia Ruan waved his hand: "Don't be thirsty, if you are tired, go back and rest." Tomorrow, you'll be busy. ”

Xia Ruan's words were very casual, as if she was telling Du Ruo that what dishes she was going to eat tomorrow was as usual.

Du Ruo took a breath of cold air, Miss was too calm at this time, right? Could it be that because he is getting married, he is happy and stupid at this time?

"Don't be tired, the slave waits for the young lady." Du Ruo quickly replied, "It's just Miss, you ......."

Before Du Ruo finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door outside.

Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows, and Du Ruo hurriedly said, "Who?" ”

"Third Miss, the slave maid is Angelica Bai." The people outside eased, "Mother Chen has something to ask to see Miss." ”

After Du Ruo heard Chen's mother's words, his face turned pale.

Chen's mother is the person next to He's side, and when Chen's mother came over at this time, Du Ruo was naturally unhappy. After all, Du Ruo also knew some of the things He did back then, and in Du Ruo's eyes, what He did made her feel disgusting.

"Let her in." Xia Ruan put down the account book in his hand, thinking about what he left for Xia Rui, "Maybe the old lady sent something over." ”

Du Ruo frowned, the things sent by the He family at this time were also extremely unlucky in the eyes of Xia Ruan and his wife.

But since Xia Ruan has said so, it is naturally not good for her to disobey Xia Ruan's orders as a subordinate.

Du Ruo opened the door and let Chen's mother walk in.

Sure enough, Mother Chen was holding a few small boxes in her hands, she looked at Xia Ruan with a smile, and then blessed her body: "Congratulations, Miss Hexi, the old lady asked people to send things over, this is a little bit of the old lady's heart." ”

After finishing speaking, Chen's mother glanced at Du Ruo again, and seemed to stop talking.

Xia Ruan naturally understood what Mother Chen meant, she waved her hand, and Du Ruo retreated.

After Mother Chen saw Du Ruo retreating, the smile on her face became even stronger.

She took a few more steps towards Xia Ruan, cautiously probing, "Third Miss, the old slave has something to tell Third Miss." ”

"Huh?" Xia Ruan looked at Chen's mother, and her words were a little serious, "You say." ”

Chen's mother came to talk about the conditions, and she asked Chen's mother to talk about it, naturally to see if the news brought by Chen's mother could attract her attention.

Mother Chen almost jumped up with joy when she saw Xia Ruan say such a thing.

She told herself to be calm, and said, "Do you want to know where the gold bars sent by the Li family came from?" (To be continued......)
