The old lady was furious when she learned about this, and wanted to arrest the ghost mother-in-law and go to Shentang, the old lady was iron-hearted, and the old lady was very angry, so she didn't say anything at the time, but secretly kept this account in her heart.

The old lady tore his face with the old lady, so he directly raised the ghost mother-in-law as an aunt, and built a courtyard for her alone.

Before the courtyard was built, it was only a part of the back garden, only a flower bed, trees, fountains, etc., all of which were re-built after the yard was built.

In those two years, the ghost mother-in-law was very pampered, and everything was the same as Mrs. Su in the main room, and Su Bingren often came here to play, asking for some snacks and fruits.

But the good times didn't last long, and in the third year after the ghost mother-in-law moved to Tingfeng Courtyard, the old lady took a tolerance and had to leave Beijing for a few months.

The old lady was worried about the ghost mother-in-law and wanted to take her away, but unfortunately before leaving, she suddenly found out that the ghost mother-in-law was pregnant and couldn't travel long distances. There was no way, the old lady could only leave her behind, and told the old lady to take care of her ghost mother-in-law.

The old lady suffered a loss in the conflict with the old lady last time, but this time she didn't say anything, just smiled and agreed, agreed to everything, and never said half a word.

But the old lady had only been gone for a few days, and the old lady brought a lot of things to Tingfeng Yuan to say hello to the ghost mother-in-law, and the two talked very happily, and the old lady even stayed to eat with the ghost mother-in-law.

The ghost mother-in-law felt strange, but she didn't know why, and in the evening, several fierce men suddenly rushed into the courtyard, and without saying a word, the ghost mother-in-law was tied up and taken to the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, the elders of the Su family had been waiting for a long time, and they said that she had committed a heinous crime and dared to murder the housewife. The old lady went to her at noon to eat, and when she came back, she felt unwell, and then fainted, and the doctor said that the old lady was highly poisoned, and the poison came from the food in the ghost mother-in-law's courtyard, and there was also a maid who served the ghost mother-in-law.

According to the family law, the ghost mother-in-law was originally going to sink into the pond, but in view of the fact that she was pregnant with the heir of the Su family, she was spared from death, cut off her nose and tongue, ruined her appearance, and made her a lifelong slave and confined in the Tingfeng Courtyard.

This punishment seems to be a blessing, but no one understands what looks mean to a woman, not to mention how can a child be kept after such a toss? This is a hundred times more uncomfortable than taking her life.

The name of the ghost mother-in-law is derived from this, no one remembers her previous name and surname, she is not a ghost or a ghost, everyone is afraid, and her family beats, she is like a rat crossing the street and shrinks under the eaves of the corner of the listening wind courtyard all day long, and over time there are fewer and fewer people who come to listen to the wind courtyard, and this place is gradually abandoned.

Linglong was full of grief and indignation after hearing this, and she sat up suddenly: "Mother, doesn't grandpa like ghost mother-in-law very much?" If the old lady treats her like that, won't grandpa pursue it? ”

Song sighed lightly: "Silly child, no matter how good the old lady has a good relationship with her, it was before she was disfigured, and now she looks like this, which man likes it?" The old lady deliberately left her alive so that the old lady could see her current appearance with his own eyes, alas, this old lady's mind......"

Linglong clenched his fists, and secretly scolded the old witch in his heart, the old lady is not a thing, there are few good things for men in the world!

Linglong thought for a while: "Mother, the old aunt is like this, could it be that the old lady did it?" ”

Song was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Linglong, there are some things that everyone knows, but no one dares to say that no one dares to ask, we live here now, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, wait for you to get married in the future, find a good family, maybe you can help the old aunt reads;!" ”

Linglong didn't think so: "Mother, who said that you have to marry someone to help?" If I get married, the man treats me well, but my mother-in-law has the same virtue as the old lady, then how can I live? It's better to be at ease with your own decisions. ”

Song wanted to refute, but couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while, she sighed for a long time: "Child, we are women, women are this life, women are like betting on treasure for a lifetime, betting on the right life for a lifetime, betting on the wrong life for a lifetime of discomfort, alas, what can be done?" Sooner or later, you have to bet, and if you don't bet, you will never know the result. ”

Linglong naturally disagreed, but her mother had lived in this era for decades, and her ideas had been set, it was not easy to convince her, and there was no need to persuade her, but fortunately, her father was not bad to her, so let's not talk about it, anyway, she didn't agree with it.

This night, Linglong lay on the bed and stared at the roof with wide eyes, thinking a lot, messing up and having no clue, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Early the next morning, she woke up to the noise.

The voice seemed to be next door, and there was also the voice of his mother, Linglong was troubled, and called twice to know the book and the painting, and the book hurriedly ran in: "Miss, are you awake?" ”

"It's early in the morning, what's the noise?"

Zhishu's face was a little ugly: "Miss, the eldest lady is here." ”

"She? What is she here for? ”

She said...... She said that there was a thief in the house, who stole the kitchen and brought people to search for dirt! ”

Linglong jumped out of bed and was about to rush out, Zhishu hurriedly grabbed her, and persuaded her to calm down while dressing her, now that the old lady is not in the house, we can't have a hard time with him and so on.

Linglong took care of it briefly, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and then walked out with the steps of the young lady.

Zhu sat indifferently in the hall and drank tea, his mother sat aside with an ugly face, and a bunch of pots and pans and other firewood and other things were placed in the middle, and Linglong walked over with a smile:

"Yo, auntie, is there a shortage of pots and bowls in the house? Or is there a shortage of firewood? Do you want us to help subsidize it? Or buy some for you? Don't worry, we still have a little money, it's really not enough to find grandpa to subsidize the subsidy! ”

Zhu glared at her with a dark face: "Linglong girl, don't talk so stinging early in the morning, I was ordered to search for dirt, I heard that a bunch of pots and pans were lost in the big kitchen last night, so they couldn't cook this morning, and the whole family was still hungry." ”

"Auntie mean we stole pots and pans from the big kitchen?"

"Well, how do you explain all this on this earth? I think most of the people you brought from Jiangzhou were not clean and brought back, right? Brother and sister, you give me the unclean hands and feet, and I'll take them back to hand over the errand, otherwise ......"

"How else? Is the aunt going to send us to the official for a few pots and pans?

It's very good, the thing is what I took, you say I steal it or take it, anyway, I am the master to get it back, the eldest aunt notified the government, I am willing to go, I am also willing to let the people of the whole capital come to listen to the trial, listen to the capital Su Mansion does not give the guests food, the guests take the pots and bowls and make their own and are regarded as thieves.

Hehe, this must be a big news in Beijing, right? Maybe it will be passed into the palace in a few days, and it is also a great merit for us to make the emperor and the masters of the harem happy, auntie, right? ”
