The father knelt straight on the ground, and Old Madam Ge was looking at him with a fierce look in her eyes: "Fourth, you are out of breath, you have long and enduring, and you don't take me as an old woman in your eyes." I, as a mother-in-law, want to teach my daughter-in-law a lesson, and you will protect it, won't you? ”

When my father heard this, his expression stiffened, the corners of his mouth curled, and he finally swallowed what he was about to say.

He lowered his head and fell on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Ge: "My son doesn't dare!" ”

"So you don't dare to disobey me!" Old Madam Ge sneered: "I've only been out for a few years, and I've forgotten who is in charge of the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and who is in charge of the Gu family." ”

"The eldest brother is Qingyang Hou, and the old lady, you are the head of the family." The father's voice was very condensed, like a frozen river in winter: "The old lady naturally has the final say in the affairs of the family. ”

"So you know that I am the head of the family. I'm here to teach Shen how to behave and be a wife and daughter-in-law, so step down. ”

The father raised his head in amazement, and met the cold eyebrows of Old Lady Shangge: "What? Do you want to be disobedient? ”

"Son...... Can't. The father hung his head helplessly, he stood up, looked at his mother helplessly, and walked out.

The mother was still on her knees.

Gu Chongyang's hand holding the curtain clenched tightly. She felt sorry for her mother, but she couldn't help herself, and this feeling made her heart like a pinprick.

Old Madam Ge snorted coldly and asked, "Shen, let me ask you, are you guilty?" ”

"Old lady, my daughter-in-law failed to give birth to a male heir to the Gu family, it is indeed mine."

The mother knelt on the ground, her waist straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

"In the past few years, my daughter-in-law has been delaying medical consultations, but unfortunately there are no good doctors in the south. When I returned to the capital this time, I will definitely ask the doctor to treat it well, and strive to give birth to a son for the master as soon as possible and inherit the incense of the four rooms. ”

Old Madam Ge sneered as if she had heard a big joke: "Shen, do you still think that you are a young girl of seventeen or eighteen?" You haven't been able to lay an egg in the past ten years, and it won't be possible in the future. ”

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but look at Old Madam Ge in astonishment when he heard this.

She is a family member, an edict of the court, and an old lady of the Hou Mansion, how can her words be as vulgar as those ignorant servants?

In his previous life, he didn't like his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law did sneer at herself, but she had never used such a bad word.

But the mother was not surprised, as if she was used to hearing it, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "The old lady taught me a lesson." ”

"Let me ask you, you have been gone for three years, and you have not moved, can't the two girls Hongyi and Cuiwei be born?" Old Madam Ge said: "Could it be because you are narrow-minded and jealous, so they have never dared to conceive?" ”

When the mother heard this, she raised her head in surprise: "Old lady, what is the matter with Guan Hongyi and Cuiwi?" Didn't you say that they were called to me? Why did it get to the fourth master again? ”

"Calling you?" Old Madam Ge laughed angrily: "What are you, but you are the daughter of a lowly merchant, and being able to marry into our Qingyang Marquis Mansion is already your ancestor who has burned high incense for several lifetimes." Just you, are you worthy of calling me to teach/train the girl? ”

"Yes...... But that's not what you said in your letter. A trace of panic flashed on the mother's face: "You said that these two maids are smart and sensible, and they are afraid that I will not be able to take care of the fourth master, so I specially sent the two of them over to help me." However, Hongyi and Cuiwi are really clever, and they are very quick in doing things, and they have indeed helped their daughter-in-law a lot......"

Speaking of this, the mother suddenly paused, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on her face: "Old lady, do you want the two of them to serve the fourth master?" Oops, this ...... This...... This is all the daughter-in-law's, it's the daughter-in-law who is blunt, and she didn't know what you wanted, and it was in vain to waste your kindness. This Hongyi and Cuiwi are really, why don't you tell me, it hurts me to this day. Knowing this, I must have arranged it well, and I didn't dare to think that they were ordinary maids. ”

The mother pretended not to know, not only shirked her responsibility, but said that the old lady's words in the letter were unknown and she did not make it clear in advance.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help but give her mother a thumbs up in her heart, if she was half as smart as her mother, she would not have fallen to that step in her previous life.

"Good, good, good." I didn't expect to be put on the spot by the little daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Ge's face was cloudy as if it was about to rain: "Shen, you are indeed smart and tight." Hongyi and Cuiwi didn't use it before, and it doesn't matter. However, Bai Shengsheng delayed them for two years, and he should always give them an explanation. After all, when they went to Guichi two years ago, I also promised them that as long as they served well, I would give them an aunt. ”

Old Madam Ge said with a smile: "It's not too late to do good things, just open your face to the two of them in the past few days." ”

Seeing her mother's ugly face, Old Madam Ge felt that she had finally found her place, and she said, "Shen, you won't give this face to the old woman, right?" ”

The old lady's orders, the daughter-in-law did not dare to disobey. Just ......"

Old Madam Ge asked gloomily, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that Hongyi and Cuiwi have already married in Guichi County." The mother blamed herself: "It's the daughter-in-law who didn't think about it well, and I wanted to talk to the old lady, but there were too many things this time, so I forgot about it." ”

Old Madam Ge glared at her mother with a knife: "Who is married?" ”

"Hongyi is a local squire in Guichi County, and his family is wealthy. Cui Wei married the fourth master's Shangfeng, although she was small, Cui Wei was happy when she entered the door, and now she is living a good life. The mother paused and said, "Old lady, you can rest assured. ”

Old Madam Ge couldn't help but fall down in anger!

The people she worked so hard to adjust/teach were originally going to provoke the fourth room for her own use. Unexpectedly, he was taken by the fourth concubine to befriend the local head snake and please Shangfeng.

The barricades he set up became his stepping stone.

She is not a good-tempered person, she has repeatedly attacked today, but she didn't expect to be hit back by this daughter-in-law, she has endured it for a long time. At this moment, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Shen, you really deserve to be the daughter of a merchant, and you are rude at all." Old Madam Ge said with a cold light in her eyes: "The person who is rewarded by the elders, you say that you will give it away, is there still me as a mother-in-law in your eyes?" You have been married to our Qingyang Marquis Mansion for more than ten years, and you are still so unacceptable. I have to teach you a good lesson today, if you are allowed to be so disrespectful and ignorant, our Gu family's face will be lost by you sooner or later! ”

After speaking, she shouted to Mama Su: "Take Shen to kneel in the bright room, I don't want to see her dejected face." Send two little maids to watch, and don't let her get up until noon. ”

The mother is the lady of the fourth room, and the old lady punishes her mother like this, obviously trying to deliberately insult her mother.

People up and down the family are watching, which makes the mother have the face to discipline her subordinates in the future.

Watching his mother walk out and kneel next to Mingtang's long case, Gu Chongyang only felt that his heart was like a knife.

She always thought that the treatment she suffered in the He family was very unfair, but she didn't expect her mother's situation to be much worse than herself. The old lady actually tortured her mother like this.

Gu Chongyang felt a sigh in his heart!

In the previous life, until the death of his mother, he did not know that his mother was sick. No matter how confused you are, you can't be impressed at all. Besides, I didn't see my mother ask for medicine at all.

Could it be that my mother did not die of illness in her last life, but was tortured to death by the old lady?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Gu Chongyang wanted to boil a pot of boiling water in his heart, and he couldn't calm down after tossing up and down.

No!

In the last life, after the death of his mother, the inner house was peaceful. If the mother was really killed by the old lady, how could the father live in peace with the old lady later? Not to mention that his father also married the old lady's niece, Ge Bilian.

Besides, she has an uncle. The two uncles loved their mother very much, and if their mother was killed, they would fight to find justice for their mother.

In this way, the mother's death has nothing to do with the old lady, and the mother may really have a sudden illness.

But that's all from the previous life, and in this life, I have my own, and I won't watch my mother die of illness.

But now? Right now, my mother is being tortured, and my father has gone to the outer courtyard, but he has nothing to do.

It's a terrible feeling!

She didn't want to hide here, she had to do something.

Gu Chongyang was about to go out when he heard a lively conversation outside.

As soon as the curtain moved, the eldest lady Hao and the second lady Fei came together with the eldest lady Gu Chonghua, the second lady Gu Chongzhu, and the third lady Gu Chongzhi.

came together, as well as the second master Gu Zhanyu, the eldest son of the big house Gu Zhengrong, and the eldest son of the second room Gu Mingxi.

The eldest lord Gu Zhanpeng is now the Marquis of Qingyang, he is the eldest son of Mrs. Ge's own son, and he has a son and a daughter under his knees. The eldest son Gu Zhengrong and the eldest daughter Gu Chonghua.

The second master Gu Zhanyu is a concubine and has a son and two daughters, namely the second young master Gu Mingxi, the second young lady Gu Chongzhu and the third young lady Gu Chongzhi.

The third master, Gu Zhanyun, is also the biological son of Mrs. Ge, he is not in good health, and now his knees are empty, and he has no heirs.

The fourth old man Gu Zhanming, Gu Chongyang's father, he is also a concubine, and there is only one daughter of the fourth lady Gu Chongyang under his knees.

Now there are four young ladies in the Qingyang Hou Mansion, and there are only two young masters, so there are even fewer boys.

Mrs. Ge loves her granddaughter, but she values her grandson even more.

Especially Gu Zhengrong, the eldest son of the Marquis of Qingyang, is the eldest grandson of Mrs. Ge's sister-in-law, and when she saw him coming, Mrs. Ge was full of smiles.
