Chapter Twenty-Five: The Tide Has Turned
Although Mrs. Xue is old and has been much gentler in recent years, she can be in charge of the back house in such a big family, from the new daughter-in-law of the year to today's ancestors, in the side room concubines, concubines and uncles, she is able to maneuver with ease, standing tall, and naturally has her ruthless side.
Mama Ding only felt regret at this time, she felt in a trance that the old lady had not spoken to death in the morning, not because she had identity and face, but because the old lady had always been unaccustomed to Leng Cuishan, so she didn't want to give her this face.
Although Leng Cuishan has always been Xue Lang's favorite lady, it is a pity that it has always been Mrs. Xue's least favorite daughter-in-law, and even in private, a side room, what kind of daughter-in-law, is just a concubine who sounds better.
This is understandable, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most difficult to get along with each other, not to mention that Mrs. Xue is from an orthodox family, and she looks down on her identity outside the main room, and Leng Cuishan did not add a man to the Xue family, but Xue Lang's favor is not as respectful and filial piety as the daughter-in-law next to her.
In the early years, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law also fought openly and secretly countless times, but now that Mrs. Xue is old and Leng Cuishan also has a city government, it has stopped and seems to be much more harmonious. Even if it is not harmonious, it will no longer be put on the surface.
And now the character on the opposite side is not Leng Cuishan, but Chu Lingfeng. Although no one thought that Old Lady Xue would like Chu Lingfeng, she had just entered the mansion and had no stake in anyone, or took a step back and said, she had never offended Old Lady Xue, not only did she not offend, but as far as she knew, she was very good at pleasing Old Lady Xue.
Even if this flattery is deliberate for everyone to see, but from the position of Old Lady Xue, as long as you can keep this deliberate goodness all the time, this is enough. Moreover, Mrs. Xue also wants to set a benchmark for others, in this Xue Mansion, she is still in charge, obedient and filial, smooth sailing, disobedient and dare to talk back, the end is immediately visible.
Mama Ding can actually get this position in Xue Mansion, her mind is very clear, and she understands things very well. But maybe it's just that she understands it too well, so she thinks that the old lady won't stand on the side of the green fir tree, but will speak for herself, but now the person on the other side has suddenly changed, but she hasn't changed it for a while.
"Old lady, old lady." Mama Ding panicked at this moment: "I don't dare, how dare I...... Grandma ......"
"Alright." Mrs. Xue was tired and annoyed after being troubled all morning today, but because she didn't want to protect the green fir, she didn't let go. At this moment, seeing Ding Li biting Chu Lingfeng again, she only felt that she couldn't bear it.
is just a subordinate, and he really thinks that he has some identity, and he makes a lot of trouble, and laughs out of his big teeth when he says it. And Chu Lingfeng stood aside obediently and skillfully, although Mrs. Xue now felt that this granddaughter-in-law was not as docile as she looked, but she really didn't think that a girl who had just entered the mansion for a day and didn't know anything could do such a thing.
"Chun'er." Old Lady Xue said a little tiredly: "Let Steward Wang come and lead Ding Li out." I remember that your hometown is in Yuzhou, right, you have been in our house for so many years, and I will not treat you badly, give you more silver taels, and if you want to go back to your hometown, I will send you back, if not, it is good to do something yourself. ”
Money, Mrs. Xue will not be stingy, Ding Li has also saved a lot of private houses over the years, and it will definitely not be a problem to go out to eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime. It's just that no matter what, it can't compare to the comfortable days of Zai Xue Mansion.
As soon as Mrs. Xue's words came out, Mama Ding knew that there was no return, the old lady had a fierce temperament when she was young, and she was gentler when she was older, but this point still did not change, and the water that was spilled out of the words was never taken back.
When this person is in a desperate situation, the first thing he thinks of is to save himself, but if he can't save himself, it is inevitable that some people will have some dark thoughts in despair. If she is unlucky alone, she can't wait for everyone to be unlucky with her.
Mama Ding is like this now, knowing that it is an unchangeable thing for her to leave the Xue Mansion, and all this, at the beginning, was naturally counted on Leng Cuishan, but now, it is counted on Chu Lingfeng.
Mama Ding looked at Chu Lingfeng almost viciously, but her words were said to Old Lady Xue: "Old lady, I have been in the Xue family all my life, and I can be regarded as having been touched by the light of the Xue family and enjoyed a lot of blessings. The old lady didn't say much to me. Now I'm leaving, and I have only one word for the old lady. ”
Old Lady Xue squinted, not knowing whether she was listening or not, but it didn't stop her from going on.
"This matter, ten out of ten ** has something to do with the young grandmother." Mama Ding gritted her teeth and said, "Old lady, be more careful." ”
The old lady still looked like she was half-closed, and she didn't say anything. Chu Lingfeng was the same, her face was expressionless, she looked at her lightly as if she was looking at the air, different from Leng Cuishan's character who jumped up at one point, she was sometimes quiet and not like an eighteen-year-old girl, so deep that people couldn't see the bottom.
After Mama Ding finished speaking, she knew that the general trend had gone, so she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady again, and followed the maid down.
Just now, she thought she could save the situation. And now, knowing that the old lady has made up her mind, no matter how much trouble she makes, she can't change anything, not only can't change anything, but if she provokes the old lady again, it may even affect her interests when she leaves the house.
After Mama Ding's footsteps disappeared completely, Mrs. Xue opened her eyes and let out a long breath: "It's finally quiet." ”
Chu Lingfeng took two steps forward: "I heard that the old lady was angry this morning, and she didn't want to ask for a doctor." I happened to come to bring some flower tea to the old lady, and I met Miss Chun'er and asked me to ask the old lady for a safe pulse. ”
"This little thing, what kind of doctor to please, just make people laugh." Although Mrs. Xue had a somewhat reproachful tone, she was very pleased: "Chun'er, this girl just likes to make a fuss, I'm fine, just rest for a while." ”
"It's okay, it's fine, but it's always more reassuring to let the young grandmother see it." Chun'er answered obediently: "Old lady, the young grandmother sent you a flower tea recipe early in the morning, which shows her filial piety, you can't be cold with this heart." ”
Without the shouting of Leng Cuishan and Mama Ding, Chun'er and Chu Lingfeng spoke softly and softly, and they both chose to listen to the ear, so that the old lady Xue, who had been making trouble in her ears all morning, only felt that everything was quiet, and her mood was much calmer.
"Look at your sweet mouth." The old lady smiled: "That's it, lest you keep chattering, just take a pulse." ”
Speaking of which, it's really nice to have a granddaughter-in-law who knows how to heal, at least when you don't want to ask for a doctor, there is someone who speaks comfortably.
