Chapter 573: A Dirty Past Covered Up

The more Su Zhirui thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, only to feel that her face was hot, and this slap was even more uncomfortable than Mo Qingye beating her. It's as if I'm so proud that everything that belongs to me is going to be snatched away one by one. He stomped his feet, cried and covered his face and ran out.

When the old lady saw her unwilling appearance, she was so angry that she coughed again and again.

Xu Shi hurriedly persuaded him, "Mother, don't think about it, Rui'er just can't figure it out for a while." Quick, Mama, bring in my mother's health porridge. Xu Shi supported the old lady, and she looked like a twenty-four filial daughter-in-law.

The old lady didn't speak, but sat on the edge of the soft couch with a little fluttering eyes. His hands squeezed tightly on the cozy fur on the edge of the soft couch. But the bottom of my heart is cold.

I seemed to hear the always gentle daughter-in-law firmly saying to her again, no! The Gu family is not allowed to come in as a concubine!

In a trance, I seemed to hear the Jiang family who couldn't stop wailing in the delivery room, and the sentence that had been wandering in the nightmare for decades was still in my ears. Adults or children?! Adults or children?!

yes, adults or children? There is already a big son in the house, do you want an adult or a child?

The old lady couldn't remember what she said, only that Jiang died in an avalanche after giving birth that day. The grandmother and the personal maid in front of her were all hanged and buried, leaving only the black and thin little maid. The bloody cry seemed to be an indictment of the thrill of that day.

The old lady didn't know what was wrong with her, at that time she only felt that she was groggy, and her mother's family wrote every day to ask for solutions, forcing her to accept the Gu family. Jiang was extremely stubborn about this matter, and felt that it was insulting to serve a husband with his sisters. I'd rather him take someone else as a concubine than let the Gu family enter the door.

The old lady patted her head lightly, she was old, and she couldn't remember many things clearly.

"Go and call me." The old lady said lightly, a little tired between her eyebrows.

Xu's lips pursed slightly, and then with a warm smile on his face, he responded. But it's a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, mother, remember to take that medicinal meal. Our house can't do without you now, and when you are better, you still have to be the steward. The daughter-in-law has been terrified for the past few days, but she can't even sleep well. "Xu is very good at talking. His face was not affected by the coldness of the old lady in the slightest. The voice of the voice grew closer.

The old lady's face softened slightly. "You've been bothering you for the past few days, let's talk about it when the Gu family's useless ones are better." Although the tone was much softer, the meaning of the words made Xu almost bite his tongue.

"What does my mother say, daughter-in-law listen, as long as you are in good health." Xu smiled. It's a good temper.

But look at the old lady. It's a little bit like to talk and stop.

The old lady was impatient. I can't see her habit of deliberately dragging people to ask questions, and the good feeling just now disappeared in an instant. "What's wrong? Straight to the point. Don't learn from the Jiang family's appearance before, and don't say a word for a long time. The lady of the Hou Mansion. It is necessary to have the momentum of the Hou Mansion. The Gu family is not good, it is better than you in this regard. The old lady mentioned the Jiang family in passing, which frightened the Xu family.

But seeing that there is still Gu's filling in the second half of the sentence, I am also a little worried in my heart. She understands what the old lady is thinking, doesn't she just want to prove that although the woman who is asking to marry is a concubine, she is no worse than the concubine of the Jiang family? I don't know if it's self-deception or trying to convince outsiders like this.

At that time, the Gu family had a very good relationship with the Jiang family, but after the death of the Jiang family, they married into the Hou Mansion at a very fast speed. At that time, Hou Ye was about to be pierced through his backbone, and the old lady didn't let go. Gu's reputation also plummeted. Even in the name of taking care of young children for his sisters, he was criticized by the nobles in Beijing.

So many years. These two people seized the opportunity to wash the White Hou Mansion and whitewash themselves. It also made Xu bored.

took the medicinal porridge handed by the grandmother, fed the old lady one bite at a time, and tried his best to pull up a smile and said, "That's the old lady has vision." The daughter-in-law is not from a high background, and the father-in-law is also supported by the Hou government on weekdays, and the daughter-in-law knows that she has dragged down the father-in-law, so she can only educate the children to make up for it. Since the mother said this, the daughter-in-law said it bluntly. Xu only talked about his two children, and didn't mention much.

It's not that she looks down on the two children of the Gu family, but in front of the children of the Jiang family, it is not a little bit worse.

"Mother, you also saw Ye'er when she got married. The priceless dowry that came out of the Ruyi Pavilion, those things, even Da Zhou, can't find much. The Mo family is just a commoner, even if Ye Er is the daughter of the Liang family, it is a little extraordinary, but it is just a name. With so many belongings, could it be that someone else gave them away for nothing? Xu sighed softly, seeing that the old lady frowned as if she was thinking deeply.

Only then did he continue: "In the past, there were rumors in Beijing that the Ruyi Pavilion was built by the prince, and the prince was unimpeded in the Ruyi Pavilion on weekdays, and he saw it with his own eyes. Dad felt sorry for the son of the world who had no mother since he was a child, and he must have made up a lot of money in private. Just like the best coral this time, it must not be difficult for the prince to build such a wishful pavilion. It's just hey. Xu's eyebrows were very worried, if she didn't know, she was afraid that she would think she was Su Jinyan's mother.

"The prince grew up in the army since he was a child, how do you know the selfishness of the back house, then Mo Qingye is unreasonable. If you take the Ruyi Pavilion that the prince has worked so hard to build to spoil it, it is estimated that the prince can only admit it. They are newlyweds, and it's not easy for me to be a second aunt, whether they have a good life, is it possible that I, the second aunt, can still take advantage? I'm just afraid that they will suffer. ”

The old lady slowed down the pace of eating porridge, and she also had some thoughts in her heart.

The grandmother behind her was listening to this topic and her face was not good, and when she saw that the old lady was silent, she also said, "Old lady, the slave maid has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Although there was some hesitation on his face, there was a determination in his eyes.

Sure enough, the old lady scolded her with a smile, "You know what to say and not to say now, I've been with me for decades, and I've never seen you like this." As soon as the words came out, he laughed with the grandmother.

Mama also hit her head and said with a smile, "It's the slave's fault, the slave is afraid that the old lady doesn't care about the slave." Now Miss Mo is the bride of our house, and no one else can provoke her. Mama's tone was a little sarcastic.

The smile on the corner of the old lady's mouth couldn't help but accept it.

Mama didn't seem to notice it, "A few days ago, didn't the slave maid go to help the young lady take care of the dowry and come back from being beaten and scolded, and I saw the young lady taking a bite of her own things that day." Even the things went directly into the private treasury and were not reported to the prince. At that time, the old lady, you were not in good health, and the slave didn't dare to say too much. Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that the young lady will take the favor given to her by the prince for granted. The son of the world is young, and the road to be walked after him is long, if he is deceived; I'm just afraid."

Mama didn't say anything more, and looked at the old lady's instantly cold face, and her heart was a little happier. (To be continued.) )
