Chen Shi listened to the old lady's resentful words, his face changed slightly, but he still endured it, and said with a meek expression: "What the old lady said is that no one in this mansion can go past you, but the body is important, and it is better to live and recuperate." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The old lady stared at Chen tightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You don't have to pretend to persuade again, I can understand what kind of mind you have, you used to be an honest person, it's really blind!" ”

From the time Chen entered the room to this meeting, the old lady was resentful, and kept pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, saying that Chen's was not all right, Chen always lowered his head and never had the slightest disrespect, but after all, she was not as good as before in front of the old lady and listened to the instructions, and now she is the head of the house who takes care of the Hou Mansion, and she says everything up and down the Hou Mansion, how can she have the patience to listen to the old lady who has been locked up in Liqing Courtyard to curse like this.

She straightened up and said lightly: "The old lady is only afraid of being tired, so I won't say more, the old lady is not in good health now, and Ming'er's family banquet doesn't have to go over in person, and someone will be sent to Liqing Courtyard." Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Seeing that the Chen family was about to leave like this, the old lady's pupils suddenly tightened, her eyes became sharper, and she opened her mouth to call her, "If you let the Hou Ye know that you have redeemed all the silver in several shops in order to repay the soup kitchen, this shop will be just an empty shelf, I don't know if he will let you take care of the Hou Mansion anymore!" ”

As soon as Chen's steps stopped, his usually gentle face turned cold, and he slowly turned his head and looked at Old Madam Xue: "What does Old Madam mean by this?" All that silver is gone when you asked your second brother and sister to take it out and put the money in print, how can you blame me. ”

Old Madam Xue's smile was so cold that it made people's hearts chill: "I didn't let her put it, we asked her to release it, but you personally sent the silver ticket to Qiongyu Courtyard." She didn't believe it, if Xue Maoye knew that her daughter-in-law also had a share, she could spare the Chen family.

Chen stared at Mrs. Xue's disregardless appearance, her mind turned quickly, Mrs. Xue was only afraid that she would really do what she said, anyway, she is now under house arrest in Liqing Courtyard, although she is said to be sick to the outside world, but no one in the Hou Mansion knows that she was locked up by Hou Ye Xue Maoye, instead of being locked up like this, it is better to simply tear her face and make trouble, maybe there will be other opportunities.

She slowly walked up to Old Madam Xue and looked at her calmly: "What does Old Madam want?" ”

Old Madam Xue looked back at her coldly: "I want to enter the palace to ask for thanks." ”

Every New Year, the palace will reward the rice and money of the spring sacrifice, and on the first day of the new year, the prince's mansion and the clan will enter the palace to ask the queen mother and the emperor to thank you. In previous years, it was naturally Mrs. Xue who took the Chen family in, but this year it was different, only if the Chen family agreed, could the mother-in-law who was guarding the Liqing Courtyard let Mrs. Xue out.

Chen's heart tightened, she naturally knew what Old Madam Xue was going to do when she entered the palace, but she had no other choice, she lowered her eyes and bent her knees: "If the old lady is in good health, she will naturally add to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for her gratitude." "That's a yes.

In the alley of Renshoufang, Xue Xing pushed open the door of a small mansion and led Xue Wenhao into the house. This is a small house in the corner of Renshoufang Hutong, only a row of low wings and a small courtyard, it has been some years, even the tiles of the courtyard wall are crawling with moss and creepers, the wing room looks a little dilapidated, the windows and doors are off the vermilion paint, mottled and half-closed.

Mrs. Qi bit her lip and looked at this mansion, the grievances in her heart are really indescribable, this is a world of difference compared with the spacious and magnificent courtyard of the Guangping Hou Mansion, the tall and gorgeous wings, obviously she should live in the courtyard of the Guangping Hou Mansion, the food should be good, and the people who serve are countless, that is the life she wants, but why is she living in such a place now?

But such a dilapidated small mansion is all the silver that Xue Wenhao borrowed for a long time, and let people quietly pawn a piece of silver that was collected by a close-fitting jade pendant, and rented it temporarily, giving Mrs. Qi a place to stay, and she doesn't have to live in a mixed place like an inn all the time, and it is much easier for him to enter and exit.

Looking at this really inconspicuous small mansion with her burden, Mrs. Qi said in a low voice: "Third Master, you can't just let me stay here all the time, or take me back to the Hou Mansion as soon as possible." "If she lives here, it will become Xue Wenhao's outer room, if she can't cross the Ming Road, even Xue Wenhao's aunt in the Hou Mansion is not as good.

Xue Wenhao frowned, and said impatiently: "You can live here, I have my own arrangements." "He never planned to take Mrs. Qi back to the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Qi is from an official family, I am afraid that the Qi family will not agree to let her be an ordinary aunt for herself, thinking that she wants to raise a concubine, but he must not carry another concubine, so he can only let her be an outer room.

Mrs. Qi sobbed softly, she was an innocent official lady who actually gave people an outer room like this, which she herself had never thought of, but she had already taken a wrong step and made a wrong step, what else could she do, so she had to live here first, waiting for Xue Wenhao to take her back to the house one day and cross the Ming Road, so that she could go back to the Qi family again, and it was good not to be underestimated by her grandmother Qi Deng and her second aunt Peng.

She turned her mind back, let Xue Xing take her burden in, and whispered to Xue Wenhao: "Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, can the third master come over tomorrow?" I asked Yingge to prepare some drinks and dishes, which can be regarded as a celebration of the New Year. She still has to think of ways to trap Xue Wenhao.

Xue Wenhao shook his head: "Tomorrow, there will be a feast in the Hou Mansion, so naturally I can't come over." ”

Speaking of the Hou Mansion's Celebration Banquet, Qi Lady had another liver pain, but he was able to go back to the Hou Mansion comfortably and safely to take the Shen family and the people of the Hou Mansion to eat the Joy Banquet, hugging his two aunts for fun, but he wanted to leave her alone in such a place, so he didn't expect to let her go back to the Hou Mansion with him! She felt bitter and astringent, and couldn't help but wonder if her original choice was really wrong.
