Chapter 7: The stepmother feigned illness

"Madam, the third lady has brought someone to our courtyard." Mama Li walked into the door quickly, it seemed that she was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to put down the needlework in her hand before she came.

Sun Shi pillowed the pillow of the embroidered ink-colored gold python in one hand, and carefully studied the account book in the other, and raised his head impatiently after listening to Mama Li's words, and said: "She will come if she wants to come, what else can she toss, but you have always been steady, why are you so flustered today?" ”

Hearing this, Mama Li's old face collapsed, and she said urgently: "My madam, do you know that the third lady is here with Steward Wang to take your power in our courtyard!" ”

"What did you say?" Sun's voice suddenly rose to a height, and he asked in disbelief.

Mama Li was also shocked enough, and said hatefully: "The slave maid has followed the lady for so many years, will she still deceive you, just now Qiu Ju passed by the third lady's room in the Hou Ye's room, the girl Qinglian was standing outside, so she quietly squatted under the wall and listened to a rough one, I heard that the third lady asked the Hou Ye for the key to the treasury, and the Hou Ye actually responded, so he hurriedly came back and sent a letter to the slave and maid." ”

Sun heard it clearly, a beautiful face suddenly darkened completely, gritted his teeth, and said: "I have been in charge of the family for ten years, how could he be a little slut ...... master"

"Madam", Mama Li interrupted Sun's words and said worriedly: "Now is not the time to think about these questions, the third young lady has entered the courtyard when she sees it, you are thinking about it." ”

Looking at Mama Li's burning eyebrows, Sun was also anxious, but in the end, he was the one who had seen the wind and waves, only for a moment, Sun slapped his thigh and said in a deep voice: "Mama, you quickly go and invite Dr. Zhang to come, I have a headache today, and no one will see me!" ”

"Huh! Slave and maid, go now! With that, the soles of his feet ran out like the wind.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet with Jing Shengwu and her party, and Mama Li's eyes flashed, and her footsteps kept rushing towards Jing Shengwu.

"Oops!" I saw Jing Shengwu standing neatly dressed in place, but Mama Li fell into the mud and couldn't stop crying out in pain.

Jing Shengwu's face changed, and she looked at Steward Wang, who was one step behind her, suspiciously, and everyone else was focused on Mama Li's vicious collision towards Jing Shengwu, but no one noticed that Mama Li was about to stick to the corner of Jing Shengwu's skirt, and one foot fell heavily on Mama Li's ankle, kicking her body and stumbling to the ground.

Jing Shengwu saw it clearly, and there was no one else in the dark blue corner except for Steward Wang.

Steward Wang didn't look at Jing Shengwu's eyes, but just hung his head and stood behind her.

At the moment, there are many people with mixed eyes, Jing Shengwu raised the different colors in his eyes, straightened his expression, and said: "What are you doing in such a hurry, Mama Li can't even see that I, a big living person, are hitting straight up, if I didn't know that Mama Li is a soft-hearted person, I thought Mama was deliberately slandered." ”

Mama Li is older, her body bones can't withstand the toss, her ankles hurt and it is a little difficult to get up, Jing Shengwu looked at the fat body writhing under her nose, and said in disgust: "Qinglian, don't you help Mama Li up, don't you see Mama's body sinking!" ”

Qinglian was relieved, she was covering her mouth and snickering, and when she heard the words, she stepped forward in two steps and dragged Mama Li up with both arms.

Mama Li could hold her body and said with a calm face: "The slave maid is old, and the old eyes are faint and collide with the third miss, so don't look at the third miss." ”

Jing Shengwu smiled lightly and said: "Mama Li is an old man in the house, and she will act more steadily in the future, I think Mama is going in a hurry." ”

Hearing this, Mama Li's old face suddenly became bitter, and she replied with pity: "The third lady doesn't know, Mrs. has been unhappy since this morning, but she is still holding on to the face of the prince, no, the prince and the concubine collapsed as soon as they left, and now they have a terrible headache, and the slave is going to ask Dr. Zhang to take a look." ”

"That's a coincidence, I have something to discuss with Madame, and I happened to go to see Madame."

Mama Li hurriedly said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Madame's body needs to be carefully cultivated, so she issued an eviction order, these days I haven't seen a guest, the third lady is not lucky, I'm afraid I want to teach you to go in vain." ”

When the words fell, Jing Shengwu's face sank, and he said slowly: "The family doesn't speak two words, Mama Li is treating me as an outsider?" Although Mrs. is the continuation of my father, but according to the name is really my stepmother, Mrs. is not happy, I should go to see it, besides, Mrs. should also understand the truth of marrying and obeying her husband, in the final analysis, our Hou Mansion is surnamed Jing not surnamed Sun, if Mama blindly treats me as a guest, my father will be unhappy when he hears it, Mama thinks what I said is reasonable? ”

"This ......" already knew how powerful Jing Shengwu was, and Mama Li didn't know what to say to go back for a while, for fear that Jing Shengwu would be caught in the wrong place again.

Looking at Mama Li's hesitant appearance, Jing Shengwu had a smile on her face, and said: "Mama Li has been with Madame for so many years, she must have followed Madame, and she is also a reasonable person, Mama will go and invite Dr. Zhang to come over to the house, I will go to see Madame first." ”

Mama Li felt bitter in her heart, at this moment she knew what it meant to lift a stone and make her own feet, and now the third lady had an excuse to break her up, and Mrs. didn't know if she could handle it......

"Mama doesn't go to Madame's body again, I'm afraid I won't be able to drag it out." Jing Shengwu's expression was cold, and he opened his mouth as if warning.

Mama Li came back to her senses, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran out, now she has to go back quickly, and Madame shouldn't have anything wrong at the other end.

Sun's heart went up and down, and Mama Li went out for a while, but she didn't come back.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the door creak open outside.

Sun was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Are you back?" But send the scenery away......"

"Sheng Wu didn't know that Mrs. was so concerned about me in private." Seeing Qinglian holding the curtain high with both hands, and looking forward to the woman standing behind her with a smile, Sun was so shocked that he froze.

Jing Shengwu and Qinglian, Steward Wang and a few maids and grandmothers walked into the house.

Qinglian stepped forward in small steps, picked up a delicately embroidered Xiudun'er and put it on the left side of the Luohan bed, and pushed it closer to Sun's side, then stopped, turned around and helped Jing Shengwu to sit down.

Sun was so angry by Qinglian's actions that he was angry, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "You and I are here to be the warm pavilion of your east courtyard and let you be a little maid and go wild?" ”

Glancing at Jing Shengwu on the side, Qinglian's ears became bolder, and she was not to be outdone, and said: "Madame is weak, Miss wants to talk to Madame, but the slave is worried that Madame's voice is too small and Miss can't hear it, so she put it closer." ”

After finishing speaking, he looked Sun up and down, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that my wife was alive and well, how could I do this, it was all that Mama Li deceived me with nonsense." ”

When Jing Shengwu heard this, a smile flashed in her eyes, Qinglian, this girl is also smart, as if talking to herself, the voice is not loud but enough for the people in the room to hear, she said this, Sun Shi can't hold on to it.

Sure enough, after listening to Qinglian's words, Sun's face changed, and his sharp voice squeezed out two coughs.

Jing Shengwu didn't break it down, and said with a light smile: "Originally, Sheng Wu still felt a little guilty about his wife when he came to the West Courtyard today, but now he feels a lot more at ease when he sees his wife's sick and weak appearance." ”

Sun heard it in a fog, and Jing Shengwu continued: "Madame doesn't know, Sheng Wu suffered a great disaster before, and my father took pity on Sheng Wu, this is not a big matter, it's just ......"

Looking at the Sun family, whose face gradually darkened, Jing Shengwu said slowly: "It's just that my father wants to hand over the power of the family to Sheng Wu, and he also said that I am the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, and it makes sense to take charge of the back house. ”
