Besides, here in Lihe Courtyard, after Wang's mother was taken away, Zhihua did not order to pass the food again, and Shi Shiran walked into the eldest lady's house. The eldest lady didn't know about Wang's mother at this time, and as soon as she saw Zhihua, she immediately picked up the teacup and smashed it: "You rebel girl!" Do you want to murder your mistress early in the morning! Zhihua stopped and avoided the tea cup she threw over: "Mrs. has wronged her daughter, and her daughter is kind enough to serve Mrs. to freshen up, but she doesn't want to be slapped inexplicably." The maid panicked, and then she accidentally wet her mother's bed, which cannot be blamed on her. The implication is that if you hadn't beaten someone for no reason, how could you have suffered this crime? In fact, that slap only hit the back of Zhihua's hand, the master and servant had practiced several times yesterday, no matter what happened, this basin of well water would eventually accidentally overturn the eldest lady's bed.

The eldest lady was choked by these words, and roared angrily: "You still dare to quibble! Get on my knees! ”

Unexpectedly, Zhihua didn't eat this, she said unhurriedly: "My daughter is here to serve her wife, and she can't do this errand while kneeling." Madame looks really sick and confused, Bai Lan, let's go outside. After breakfast, Madame's illness may be better. ”

A group of maids walked in with a tray, ignoring the violent hostess, only neatly arranging the cups, bowls and chopsticks in the tray, and bowing and retreating.

Seeing that no one cared about her, the eldest lady finally remembered her own person: "What about Mother Wang?" Call Mother Wang in! The cry was loud and piercing, and if Mother Wang was in Lihe Courtyard, she would definitely rush in when she heard this sound.

"Madame wants Mother Wang to serve you for dinner? It's a pity she's not here now. Compared with the eldest lady's impatience, Zhihua's calm posture became more and more prominent.

"What happened to Mother Wang?" The eldest lady asked in disbelief, with a faint premonition in her heart.

"Mother Wang is a lady's person, how dare her daughter dispose of it without permission? It's just that she is a descendant of the Wang family after all, and she has not learned the rules of our Lu family, so her daughter sent her to the old man and asked the old lady to teach her. Zhihua's tone was light, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Mother Wang has always been a half-slave and half-mother in the eldest lady's heart, and when she heard this, she was immediately shocked, and she didn't care about settling any account with the cheap girl in front of her, so she walked briskly towards Songling Courtyard. It was the first time since she was sensible that Wang Liming walked so quickly and so quickly, but unfortunately it was still too late when she arrived at Songling Hospital, and Wang's mother had already finished beating the board, and was about to be sent to Lihe Hospital by two mothers-in-law on a stretcher.

As soon as she saw Wang's mother's dying appearance, the eldest lady couldn't help screaming: "Come on, go and ask for a doctor!" Just go! One of the two mothers-in-law carrying the stretcher replied: "Madam, the old lady said that it is merciful that the evil slaves who committed the following crimes were not directly killed." If Mrs. can't bear it, she will go back and find some wound medicine to smear on her, our Lu Mansion has no rules for asking for a doctor for this kind of evil slave! "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, not to mention that this is not a daughter-in-law. The old lady chose the words that dug into the heart of the eldest lady, and she would be happy if she was not happy. As soon as she heard this, anger, heartache, worry, and humiliation were intertwined, coupled with the anger that had been forcefully suppressed, the eldest lady was so hated that she couldn't lift it in one breath, her eyes were over, and she fainted. The screams of the two mothers-in-law sounded in Songling Courtyard: "The eldest lady has fainted, come quickly!" Suddenly, there was another toss of chickens and dogs.

When the eldest lady woke up, the first thing that caught her eye was the eldest daughter who was on the list of enemies in her heart, rising rapidly and ranking first with the old lady. I saw Zhihua's eyes smiling, and her tone was concerned: "Madame is awake!" Lunch has been prepared for a long time, and you haven't eaten for half a day, and your daughter is really worried. Come, my daughter will serve you to eat! Anyway, regardless of whether she agreed or not, she stepped forward with Bai Lan and "helped" the eldest lady to get up and sit down at the table.

"What are you going to feed me?" Seeing that she was not serving light porridge, but crystal rice, the eldest lady's eyes widened.

"Madame is too worried, today my daughter is here to serve the sick, and the food to serve Madame is naturally a great supplement. In the past few days, you have been eating lightly and have no appetite, and your daughter specially prepared these appetizing meat dishes for you. Madam, look, this braised pig's trotters, stewed with crispy bones and rotten meat, this spicy duck, my daughter specially ordered to add some appetizing chili peppers, keep it for you, you can eat two large bowls of rice! By the way, if you think it's too spicy, and the stewed kelp bone broth, drinking a cup is the most nourishing for the stomach, do you want to have a bowl now? Zhihua introduced the dishes on the tray of the maid behind her one by one. She is a sincere person, and she does not lie a word. These dishes were indeed replenishing and appetizing, but as she said, they had been prepared for a long time, and by this time they had all cooled, and each one had a thick layer of oil floating on it.

Of course, Zhihua knew that the eldest lady couldn't eat these dishes, but how could her carefully prepared mind allow the eldest lady to waste? Without waiting for the eldest lady to speak, she instructed the two mothers-in-law behind her who had already prepared: "The eldest lady is worried that Mother Wang has no appetite, and breakfast is useless. ”

The eldest lady never thought that the eldest daughter would dare to do this, and before she came to her senses, she was held down by the two mothers-in-law on her arm, and she opened her mouth angrily to scold, but was blocked by a piece of spicy duck. A spicy breath filled her mouth, and she was caught off guard, and the eldest lady took a spicy breath into her throat, and immediately choked and coughed, almost coughing out her lungs.

Under Zhihua's "service", the eldest lady really used two large bowls of rice as she said, and her stomach was round. A group of subordinates packed up the dishes and chopsticks and left, and after the ban was lifted, the eldest lady immediately got up, rushed up with an arrow step and raised her hand to greet Zhihua's face! Bai Lan, who had already prepared on the side, stood in front of the young lady and held the hand that the eldest lady waved over.

"Idiot!" There were no outsiders at the moment, and Zhihua also put away her mask and laughed sarcastically. "Do you hate me in your heart right now? Can't you want to get rid of me right away? ”

"Yes!" The successive deflated meals made the eldest lady angry to the extreme, and the resentment in her heart couldn't be concealed at all, so she simply didn't bother to hide it. "You'd better pray that it doesn't fall into my hands in the future, or you'll ......"

"That's why I said, you're an idiot! You still haven't figured it out? Who is your real enemy in this Lu Mansion? It's an old lady who takes pleasure in torturing you! It's the concubine in Haitang Courtyard who is eyeing you for a man! It's not me, a concubine who can be sent away with a dowry! Zhihua scolded her head, and didn't look at the eldest lady's gradually emerging contemplative color, and continued: "Today's loss is completely self-inflicted!" You idiot, didn't you see that no one in the Lu Mansion dared to touch me? Why do you think that you can be more powerful than the old lady who has been running the Lu family's housekeeping for more than ten years, and the people who come to move the old lady are afraid of? If you can't figure out the details of the other party, you rashly offended, saying that you are a fool or promoting you! You ask yourself, after marrying into the Lu family for so long, do I have anything to do with you? Even if I do nothing about what happens to you, it is because you are not sober enough and stupid enough to be worthy of my use in the slightest! Why should I help you? Isn't it clear to you about your own business? If it weren't for the fact that you couldn't give birth to a son-in-law, do you think I would tolerate a fool like you marrying into the Lu family and becoming the wife of a big house? Zhihua's scolding hit the nail on the head, stabbing the eldest lady's heart with blood but unable to say anything, and the latter sentence was like a thunderous explosion, making her look at Zhihua with a shocked face.

"If I really want to deal with you, don't say anything else, just send a message to the Begonia Courtyard, you don't need to do it yourself, the one in the Begonia Courtyard can pull you down alive! And think for yourself, what will a childless stepfamily rely on in the future? Do you want to continue to die by yourself and deal with the sister of the only sister-in-law of the big house? After saying this, Zhihua's tone softened, "You have only been married for more than a month, and you don't know enough about the situation of the Lu family, I can forgive you for your offense this time." If you can't swallow today's breath and want to seek revenge from me, I will accompany you at any time! Let me make it clear first, I can find a way to let the old lady choose you, the daughter of a junior official, from a bunch of candidates, to propose marriage, and I can find a way to let the old lady leave you out in the future! Think for yourself whether you want to continue to be my enemy! After that, Zhi Huali ignored the eldest lady who was stunned, and took Bai Lan away.

All afternoon, the eldest lady was in turmoil. Wang's mother had a high fever, and the eldest lady had to worry about her body, but also had to think about the future by herself. Zhihua scolded suddenly, and she listened to it all in her heart. Indeed, she has no reason or strength to provoke an enemy like Zhihua, but if she wants to forget her hatred today, not to mention anything else, as long as she sees the dying Mother Wang now, how can she be willing to swallow this breath? First make a false appointment with the snake, and then wait for the opportunity to retaliate, she is not sure at all, she can challenge the difficult role of "being a small and low big housekeeper" in front of a person like Zhihua with resentment! If she sees through the disguise, what is the difference between this and directly tearing your face and becoming her enemy?

The eldest lady had not yet sorted out the lawsuit, and when she returned from leave, the angry uncle walked straight to Lihe Courtyard. Seeing the eldest lady, Lu Zhenyuan waved his hand to send off the subordinates, and shouted angrily: "Wicked woman! What good did you do today? The eldest lady was confused, and she couldn't figure out where the uncle's anger came from: "Why did the husband say this?" ”

"You still have the face to ask? Don't you know the good things you do? Let me ask you, how did you treat Ah Hua when she came to serve her early in the morning? ”

When it comes to today's illness, the eldest lady has a hard time. She didn't know that there were rumors outside now, but when her husband listened to the complaint of a certain subordinate, she defended: "Husband doesn't know, eldest lady, she made a mistake, and the concubine will ......" She herself didn't know whether to talk about it or not, if she said it in front of her husband, it would be regarded as the hostility she released when she turned her head, and she didn't dare to provoke it anymore, who had already seen Zhihua's methods.

Lu Zhenyuan regarded her desire to speak again as a thief. He looked at the eldest lady with a sad face: "You still dare to quibble? Do you know that there are rumors in Beijing now that you abused your stepdaughter who was sick all morning? Do you know how my colleagues today look at husbandry in a strange way? You don't want to be ashamed, our Lu family still wants it! If you really can't tolerate my poor eldest daughter, then invite yourself to the house, my Lu family's housewife, it's really not up to a wicked woman like you! "What Lu Zhenyuan values most in his heart is his official reputation, and what Wang Liming did today has violated his bottom line.

"Anger severance, sir!" When the eldest lady heard this, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed and begged for mercy, and she was already extremely jealous of the eldest daughter in her heart, and she couldn't afford to continue to be her enemy, so she only hated herself for being blinded by lard, and ran to provoke this terrifying demon star.

Just when the eldest lady was kneeling on the ground trembling, and she couldn't figure out how to get out, a voice like a heavenly voice came, relieving the eldest lady of the immediate crisis.

"The daughter greets her father."

Seeing the slim eldest daughter walking in, Lu Zhenyuan's angry expression eased a lot. "Ah Hua, are you here to make decisions for your father? Don't worry, my father has heard about today's events, and my father will divorce this wicked woman to be angry for you! ”

"Why did my father say that?" Zhihua, who had returned to Qiuhua Courtyard, had already gotten the news of rumors outside, and she had already guessed Lu Zhenyuan's reaction in her heart, so she came to the rescue. If she watched the eldest lady being dismissed now, wouldn't her hard work before be in vain?

Lu Zhenyuan was a little stunned by his daughter's question: "Aren't the rumors outside true today?" The big lady didn't hit you? ”

"Today, when the daughter came to serve the sick, she clumsily wet the mother's bed, and the mother was angry and punished the daughter, and after the daughter apologized, the mother forgave the daughter, and there was no beating that the father said. The mother has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is the weakest, and she blames her daughter for being too stupid...... The maids and daughters-in-law in Liheyuan are all grandmothers, and when there is something wrong with Mother Wang, they will immediately take them to their grandmother, which is why there are these messy rumors...... "Taking advantage of the fact that there are no outsiders in front of her, Zhihua reversed black and white with an innocent face.

Lu Zhenyuan also knew that his wife was married, and only Wang's mother was an old slave. Thinking of what the old lady did in the past, coupled with the person who ultimately benefited after today's events, Lu Zhenyuan's anger towards the eldest lady has completely disappeared. "Madam, get up, it's because my husband blames you today." personally helped his wife, Lu Zhenyuan was able to bend and stretch, and even hugged his fists and saluted her to make amends.

The eldest lady hurriedly avoided not daring to take it, and her expression was as virtuous and dignified as ever: "What did the husband say?" Today's matter, you are too concerned about Ah Hua, so you will be deceived by this rumor, how can the concubine blame you? Speaking of the back, his eyes were red with grievances. Yes, the most hateful thing about today's events is the person who deliberately unleashed rumors! The poor lady was aggrieved and didn't dare to say that the person was not half a word, Lu Zhenyuan made up for the lady's thoughts.

Seeing that the husband and wife were in the same breath, Zhihua smiled with relief and talked about her other meaning: "Mother, how is Mother Wang now?" I heard that the old lady does not allow you to ask the doctor to see her, after all, the matter is caused by her daughter's rough benzene, and her daughter is very unhappy. If you don't dislike it, my housekeeper in Qiuhua Courtyard, Mother Han, knows a little bit about the way of ambiguity......"

The eldest lady looked at Zhihua in surprise when she heard this, she didn't expect her to say this. In the jealousy of the eldest daughter in my heart, a trace of gratitude also began to rise: "Thank you to the eldest lady for ignoring her past suspicions and being willing to send someone to heal Mother Wang. With that, he sincerely bowed his gratitude.

The eldest lady is an elder of Zhihua, no matter how grateful she is, she doesn't need to bow to express it. Wang Liming wanted to use this gift to tell Zhihua that she was happy to surrender.

Zhihua didn't avoid it, but went up to help her, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both understanding each other's meaning. Lu Zhenyuan saw the scene of the mother and daughter getting along harmoniously in front of him, and he was a little more satisfied with the new lady.

Afterwards, Lu Zhenyuan personally went to the old man's place. This time, for the sake of her own selfishness, the old lady disregarded her official reputation, and Lu Zhenyuan's anger came out in Songling Academy. The old lady knew that she was wrong, and compromised to let the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law jointly manage the house, and since then, the doctor has gradually gained a firm foothold in the Lu family.

A few days later, the mother and daughter went out to the banquet together. Zhihua personally led the eldest lady into the social circle of the Lu family, and the two talked and laughed outside, and after co-starring in a good show of mother and daughter's filial piety, the rumors were self-defeating.
