Li gave Zhao's mother a look, Zhao's mother understood, and said, "Please Aunt Qiu continue." ”

"The slave maid found that Aunt Bai did not drown, but someone pushed her, and the little young master born to Aunt Bai did not die of smallpox but was drugged."

Li Shi laughed out loud when he heard this, "It's hard to find such things in your hands for you, but in the end it is something that can't be put on the table, but I don't know that it's not much of a fuss for the housewife to kill a concubine, and it's just a matter of being treated as gossip when you go out." ”

"It used to be like this, but if the Hou Ye dies, the third young master wants to fight for the position of the son of this world, and even more if Aunt Bai didn't sell herself to the house?"

The Buddha beads that Li had been slowly turning suddenly stopped: "Presumptuous! ”

Mother Zhao's heart was shocked, if what Aunt Qiu said was true, if the Bai family, who was favored by Hou Ye back then, was really as Aunt Qiu said, a girl from a white family who did not sell herself to the house, then this is a human life.

"What do you want?" There was silence in the room for a long time, and then Li's voice sounded coldly

"Ask the wife to let the slave and maid give birth to a child, and allow him to grow up in the house, not to get half of the family wealth, but to be safe." Only then did Aunt Qiu raise her head, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked straight at the hostess

"Mother Zhao, tell me to go down, Aunt Qiu is pregnant and moves back to the original house, and invites her to accompany Hou Ye for life after giving birth."

"Yes." Mother Zhao bowed down to answer, and took a few mothers-in-law to invite Aunt Qiu back to the previous courtyard.

Along the way, Aunt Qiu maintained a faint smile, her eyes were like silk, which housewife wanted to clean up after seeing this, but she had to admire in her heart, although this huge Hou Mansion did not have half of the family wealth in the future, but also gave the unborn child in her belly a future.

When he was already a son, the Li family went to the room, took the news from the steward of the outer courtyard, and his hands kept trembling, "Okay, good Bai, I didn't know she was the daughter of a merchant." ”

Mother Zhao hurriedly handed over the hot tea and stroked Li's back, "Madam, it's just a concubine, not to mention the most unpopular businessman, no matter how dare she make trouble at the gate of our Hou Mansion." ”

"Humph! Blame this too."

"Ma'am." Mother Zhao hurriedly interrupted Li's words, she didn't dare to say such a disrespectful thing.

Li Shi has also been familiar with women's training since he was a child, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"After all, this is a handle, then the Qiu family will be born if they want to be born, so as not to say that I don't tolerate people, it is not certain that the children in this Hou Mansion will not grow up. As for the Qiu family, you are also ready, don't publicize the matter of letting her accompany the funeral first, lest you dare to come to me in the future, and let your family Chu San come early tomorrow morning. After Li calmed down, he lay on his back on the beauty couch covered with purple and gold brocade, and said slowly in a deep voice

Mother Zhao nodded her head and agreed, and then called someone to freshen up and rest for the old lady. I called the big girl Chunzhi who kept vigil to explain in detail: "Mrs. slept late today and moved her breath, use that barley tea to rinse her mouth tomorrow morning, and prepare a cup of lighter golden silk jujube tea to warm her stomach." ”

Only then did he turn around and go home, thinking that he had to tell his man Chu San about his wife's thoughts.

In April of the twenty-ninth year of Xihe, An Ning waited for the end and did not survive.

There was mourning in the house, but in the spring it was full of paleness.

"Mother, I can't cry, and I don't want this veil." The eldest lady of the third room of An Ning waited for the third room to shake off the handkerchief handed over by the big girl next to her, pouted, and said with a sad face

"Yan'er, don't mess around, your grandfather died, you should cry, you can't cry, why don't you want Qiu Ju to give you a veil." The third grandmother reprimanded with a cold face, but her tone was not so harsh.

The eldest lady Chu Zhenyan is four years old, and the child who grew up in Houmen knows how to read people's eyes the most, although it is small, it does not prevent her from knowing that her mother is not very harsh, and the child who was holding it in the palm of her hand from a young man immediately splashed it, "Don't want it, don't want it, my grandfather didn't hug me, why do you cry, the handkerchief smelled Jing'er's nose hurt." ”

"Presumptuous!" The third grandmother held her forehead painfully, although she knew that her daughter's words were inappropriate, but she also faintly did not have much awe for her father-in-law who acted absurdly. But today, there are many people, and my daughter has to cry, so I have to pick up my daughter and scold her fiercely.

"Third grandma, it's time to go to Shoukang Hall to say goodbye." The eldest girl beside the third grandmother, Cuizhu, stepped forward in time

The third grandmother sighed, not ignoring the joy in her daughter's eyes after hearing this.

Sure enough, as Sister Yan expected, the grandmother who loved her the most was not angry at all, but asked her to bring her favorite hibiscus jujube mud cake out to feed her.

"Mother, Sister Yan is too ignorant, and when she says something like that, she blames her daughter-in-law for having no way to teach her daughter." As a daughter-in-law, she can only imply that her mother-in-law can't be too used to her daughter

"It's okay, our Sister Yan is the eldest daughter of An Ning Hou, who dares to underestimate it, there is no need to learn the timidity of the head."

Hearing this, the third grandmother Qiao was shocked, An Ninghou's daughter, her husband The third young master is not even a son, and it stands to reason that it should be Chu Jinmin, the eldest son of the former Hou wife Jiao.

"You don't have to make that frightened look, the current Queen Mother has hurt me since she was a child, the eldest is a fourth-grade prefect petty official, the third is a waiter of the Criminal Department from the second grade, Ding Wei said that the boss has become a white body, the eldest daughter-in-law's mother's family is a guilty body, the queen mother's side I have asked for a decree, and the holy decree is a matter of the first seven days of the Hou Ye."

The third grandmother held the ice silk brocade in her hand tightly, her heart was pounding, and she knew that her mother-in-law would inevitably fight but she didn't know that things were going so well.

"But this waste grows up and grows young, not to mention" What's more, the eldest uncle is the son-in-law of the original match, and he is more noble than his husband in terms of status.

"You don't have to worry about the rest, you can raise a pair of children well, and although the girl from the concubine is not as good as our Sister Yan, she is also the third, you also take it with you to teach it well, but don't let her and her aunt take it crookedly." Li glanced at her daughter-in-law, who was also a little successful, but unfortunately she was too forward-looking, and it was better for her to discuss some things with her son

"Yes."

"Madam, grandma has come to say goodbye." The big girl Qiu Ju came in and asked for instructions

"Call her in."

Qiu Ju nodded and turned to go out, and after a while, she greeted an elegant and beautiful woman with a slightly pale face, who was the eldest grandmother Qin

"Say hello to my mother." Qin bent his knees, put his hands on his right side, lowered his head, and his voice was shallow and generous

"Get up, I see that your face is not good, your father is at ease, don't be too sad about it." Li's gentle voice sounded, not like a mother who treats her daughter-in-law as her own daughter

"Thank you for your mother's concern, my daughter-in-law is saddened by her father's early death, and at the same time, I am ashamed that my uncle and sister Hui cannot fulfill their filial piety, so I am too worried."

"Hou Ye has already sent someone to inform the boss when he is seriously ill, and he has been delayed on the road for some reason, and he has not entered Beijing for more than a month."

When Qin heard this, her heart trembled, this is also the reason why she was in suspense day and night, she didn't believe Li's words, what Li said was that the people sent out about the day her father-in-law died, but she sent someone to inform her husband from knowing that her father-in-law had fainted, but it was enough to go back and forth from Suzhou to the capital for more than a month, and she had to suspect the above person if she didn't see anyone. But at the moment, she had no choice but to pray secretly and be anxious, not to mention that she had more important things to do today.

"Mother, daughter-in-law has something to do." Qin Clan looked solemn.

Li Shi smiled slightly when he saw it: "Shulan has something to do, just say it." ”

"At my father-in-law's sacrifice yesterday, many mouths couldn't see the good of our Hou Mansion, and said there that our Sister Hui was not filial piety, and that she didn't show up for such a major event as the death of her grandfather, but I hated that my young Sister Hui was still in infancy and was choreographed by them like this" He said and picked up a cyan brocade to cover his eyes and began to cry.

"What is this big deal, I will tell everyone today, and I will say that Sister Hui's life is not compatible with her grandfather, and it is not appropriate to come forward." Li sneered in his heart, and his words became more and more gentle

"Woo woo woo, but the mother, those people also said, and said that Sister Hui is the eldest daughter of the long house, and she is also so pampered, so it can be seen that the other girls in the house are also"

At this point, it was obvious that the tea bowl that the third grandmother had been stirring made an abrupt soft sound, and she couldn't help but look at the daughter who was sitting on the side laughing and munching on the pastry, and Li couldn't help but straighten her back.

"Sister Hui is still young, but she can't say a few words, but they also talked about the sixth sister, the sixth sister is this age, I heard that my mother is looking for a husband for the sixth sister, I am angry and want to say a few words, but they talked about the cause of his father's death" After speaking, Qin did not raise his head, only covered his handkerchief and cried helplessly.

Li Shi had a cold face, like a thick layer of frost, and roared sharply: "Enough! What to cry about, you will cry in a while. ”

Qin Shi was immediately trembling by this roar, and he was about to faint, but he was quickly helped by Mother Xu beside him, and when Li saw this, he ordered lightly: "Give grandma a seat." ”
