Chapter 4: Long Insight
Linglong's question has been asked by Duan many times before, and Duan's tone is the same every time, so this time it is not surprising.
"Silly girl, didn't my mother tell you before? The second master will come back in a few days. "For Linglong to be so ignorant and only know how to cry, the Duan family is a hundred and unsightly, and I don't know what the Fu family thought at the beginning, and would marry such an unworthy person for his son.
Duan's heart was endlessly sarcastic, but it was not obvious on his face, and he still comforted Linglong very lovingly, "When that time comes, the second child will definitely earn you a life back, and you will be Mrs. Fate." ”
Thinking of the fate, Duan's face flashed gloom.
The second Li Zhuoran joined the army at the age of fifteen, and now he is a general Huaiyuan from Sanpin, and the life he earned back was given to him without consulting them.
Why did this matter, Duan Shi sulked for a long time.
The Duan family also has two sons, the third master Li Yiran is now working as a member of the household department, and the fourth master Li Fengran has been a martial artist since he was a child, so he took care of the property of the Li Mansion after getting married.
If it weren't for the letter from the capital this time, Li Yiran had been working in the position of a foreigner for three years, and if he wanted to change his position, the Duan family would not have been so eager to pay attention to Linglong's dowry.
She didn't want her fate to be as good as a dead man, so as soon as her son sent a letter asking for silver, Duan's family asked people to prepare it without thinking about it.
But the Li Mansion is not a big nobleman, and the family is rich. In addition, Li Fengran lost a lot of money in gambling with others last year, and he had to be chopped off and stomped on. The Duan family had to hand over the family funds they had accumulated over the years to keep their son.
Now that he has sent Li Yiran such a large sum of silver, it can be said that all the money of the Duan family has been emptied. All the Duan clan had to think of a way, and the fastest way she could think of to get money was to make her daughter-in-law's dowry her own.
Everyone knows that Gu Linglong's dowry back then was the first in the entire Kunzhou Mansion, a real ten-mile red makeup.
She was red when she was still a concubine, but she didn't want people outside to know that she had swallowed her daughter-in-law's dowry, so she thought of a good way.
This year's spring is cold, and the spring is also very cold, when Linglong asked her to say goodbye, she deliberately let her stand outside for a while, she knew that Linglong has been very weak since she gave birth to Sister Mei, so a station will definitely be infected with wind cold, and then they will drag her illness again, and this wind cold will die if it is not timely.
Sure enough, Linglong began to have a fever on the night she went back, and she began to know no one when she was hot. She also pretended to ask a doctor to be hired, and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine. And I have to come and see how she has changed every day.
In the eyes of outsiders, Linglong can stand up to her as a mother-in-law, which is simply a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. But no one knew, she came to see her, just to check on her condition, and sure enough, it had deteriorated as she thought.
It's just that I didn't expect that I was lazy, and seeing that she was already out of breath and exhaling less, and the time was about the same, I didn't stay here to see her bad luck.
But I didn't expect that the person who was about to die was actually brought to life.
But it's still so stupid and cowardly.
Duan smiled sarcastically in his heart, this time it was her fate, and she would not have such good luck next time.
"Commandment?" Gu Linglong looked at the Duan family suspiciously, "How can a daughter-in-law have that blessing, the second master's edict is naturally given to the mother first." ”
Duan's originally loving face froze, and the hand that had been stretched out stopped there, what she always wanted was the life that her son earned for herself, and the life that Li Zhuoran gave her again, it was all used to slap her face, always reminding her that she was just a steproom, and she was going to be a concubine in front of Fu's family.
Duan's mood suddenly became depressed, and when he saw Linglong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he said coldly, "What else can't you say?" If you go out like this, it will only be a shame on our Li Mansion. ”
She suddenly got a little tired of dealing with this stupid woman, and even her voice became louder.
Linglong bit her lip, as if she was frightened by Duan's and didn't dare to speak again, Duan's angry only felt that there was a fishy smell in her throat.
"I'm doing this for your own good," Duan had to lower his voice and said softly to her, "But someone bullied you?" Is it that these maids and women are not attentive? ”
Duan Shi said that in the back, he glanced coldly at a few maids in the room and Mother Tong.
"No, no, it's ......" Linglong glanced at Duan timidly after speaking, and then said as if she had plucked up courage, "Does mother want her daughter-in-law to die like this?" ”
"If there is no good doctor to use good medicinal materials, the daughter-in-law will have to wait for death, so that the dowry can be rightfully returned to the mother to take care of it." Seeing that Duan was stunned, Linglong continued to speak.
Her face was flushed when she said this, probably because she was angry, so her voice was louder.
Mother Tong and Cuizhi couldn't help but be surprised, this young grandmother woke up really different, can you say the same?
Duan Shi was also stunned, his eyes widened, "Linglong ......"
Linglong looked at the subordinates behind Duan's family, pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "It's not that my daughter-in-law doesn't want to give it, it's my mother who left it to me, and even the second master said that no one is allowed to touch it." Mother, daughter-in-law don't want to die. ”
Linglong said this, and cried bitterly.
Duan Shi glared fiercely at the people behind him, threw the small teacup on the coffee table to the ground with a flick of his water sleeve, and said sharply, "Is that cheap hoof chewing his tongue in front of the second young grandmother?" Be careful with your skin. ”
After she finished speaking, she waited for Mother Tong fiercely, as if she decided that Mother Tong said it.
"Yes...... It's a mother of the fourth brother and sister......" Linglong said weakly, and hurriedly covered her mouth as if she had just discovered Zhang, "Fourth brother and sister, I'...... I. ”
I've been for a long time, my face is about to turn red, but I'm thinking in my heart whether the person I invited should arrive.
glanced outside the door curtain, and sure enough, I heard a cold snort, and then the curtain was lifted, and an old lady of about fifty years old walked in, who came with a round bun, a ruyi hairpin, and a sauce-colored makeup jacket, pursed her lips and swept towards Duan's with cold eyes.
Linglong obviously felt that Duan's back was unconsciously straightened, and her whole body became nervous.
How did this old thing in the long house come over? And when she came to Tinglan Garden, no one told her, so I'm afraid that the words that Linglong said just now were also listened to by this old thing, right?
I just don't know how much she listened?
Duan felt funny, and some things began to change slowly, but there was a ridicule from the old lady of the long house, Guo Shi, in his ears.
"The second brother and sister are really kind and calculating." Guo Shi walked over slowly, walked to the cup that Duan broke just now and stopped, "The old woman has lived for such a long time, and it is the first time she has heard such a good plan, and the second brother and sister have really made me gain knowledge." ”
