Meng was "sick", and Murong and several ladies went to visit her, and even the old lady sent Mama Wu to Xinyue Yuan to send her supplements.

In this regard, Mama Li was very happy, and sighed that this time she had a long face, she felt that this was the old lady's expression of valuing her own wife, and the sour feeling in her heart that Murong had won the right to be fed was dissipated.

However, it turned out that Mama Li was happy too early, because Mama Wu left a message after sending the supplements.

"The old lady said, the fifth lady is in poor health, so you don't have to worry about the chores in the house, and the future Mrs. Shizi will preside over the feed, and the other ladies will assist you, so you just need to take care of your body with peace of mind."

Mama Wu said very tactfully and kindly, but Mama Li felt like five thunders when she heard it.

It turned out that in addition to the Murong family, the old lady also allowed the rights of other ladies to be housekeepers, that is to say, her wife also had the opportunity to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion!

In the backyard, there is no woman who does not want to meddle in the housework, after all, with the right to be a housekeeper, there is the right to speak, there is status, and there is oil and water!

This will make Mama Li regret that her intestines are green, she shouldn't have made a bad idea and instigated Mrs. to pretend to be sick and lazy!

Anxious and remorseful, Mama Li grabbed Mama Wu's arm and said urgently: "Mama Wu, my wife just occasionally feels cold, just rest for a day or two, and I can still help Mrs. Shizi take care of the backyard in the future!" She was still trying to salvage her chances.

However, Mama Wu didn't pay attention to her at all, withdrew her hand, and said to Meng Shi with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant: "The slave maid just passed a message to the old lady, and now the word is finished." The slave and maid took their leave. ”

After that, Mama Wu left directly.

Mama Li's face turned white.

Meng Shi couldn't understand Mama Li's remorse at all, and said happily: "Great." From now on, I don't have to be bothered by those mundane things, and I can relax as before. ”

When Mama Li heard this, she wanted to cry without tears.

She said anxiously: "Madam, my ancestor, now is not the time to ask for leisure, let's hurry up and make amends to the old lady, please be guilty." Maybe it can be saved, but this steward's right can't be avoided! ”

"Why?" Meng Shi was puzzled and frowned: "I think this is very good." I didn't want to worry about that. ”

"Madame!" Mama Li was so anxious that she spun around, "It's not something you want to worry about!" Think about it, in the future, other ladies will be able to take care of the house, but you can't. What do you think people would say? ”

"This ......," Meng hesitated. Although she didn't want to take care of the house, she still valued her reputation very much, but after thinking about it, she said righteously: "The fifth room is a concubine, even if I can't take care of the house, it's normal." ”

"But the two bedrooms and three bedrooms are also concubines! The second lady and the third lady can manage the house! Mama Li unconsciously raised her voice.

Meng Shi frowned in displeasure and said impatiently: "So what? My aunt was sympathetic to my weak body, so she gave me leisure. What do others have to say? ”

As he spoke, he took off his shoes and put them on the warm kang, picked up a notebook and opened it. Displeased: "You asked me to pretend to be sick and hide, and now that something like this has happened, you blame me, and you want to go by yourself, I don't want to go." ”

"Madame......" Mama Li realized that her tone was a little rushed, and she hurriedly softened her voice, but Meng's temper came up, so she didn't pay attention to her at all, and only held the script and watched it with relish.

Don't look at Meng's usual gentleness and generosity, in fact, she is very arrogant and willful, let alone Mama Li, even if Mrs. Meng comes over, she dares to throw her face. However, her arrogance and willfulness are only aimed at Mrs. Meng and Mama Li, who unconditionally love her and tolerate her, and to the people next to her, such as the old lady and An Shiyan, she will not be casual in her temperament. For the old lady, she didn't dare, and for An Shiyan, she couldn't do it, because An Shiyan could coax her into obedience with a word by the way.

Mama Li knew Meng's temperament very well, and when she saw her tantrum, she didn't dare to talk any more, so she only held her heart full of sadness and swallowed her tears into her stomach.

Wanxue watched from the sidelines, and a faint mockery appeared in her eyes.

As early as when Meng decided to pretend to be sick, Wanxue sent a letter to Mrs. Meng, who guessed that there would be such an ending, thinking that it would be better for Meng to save trouble if she didn't care about it, so she didn't let Wanxue stop it. Wanxue listened to Mrs. Meng's words, and only persuaded her two sentences at the beginning, and then remained silent, thinking that something would happen, and she had no responsibility at all, even if Mama Li wanted to drag her into the water, she couldn't find an excuse. However, Meng Shi was dissatisfied with Mama Li and gave her the opportunity to sell well.

In the next two days, Meng was very cold to Mama Li, but he became closer to Wanxue, which can be regarded as making Mama Li taste all the pain and sadness.

And the old lady let Mrs. Shizi preside over the feed, let the second lady, the third lady and the fourth lady assist, also spread throughout the house, the front yard of the master was a little surprised, puzzled why there was no matter of the fifth lady, and then inquired, the heart was like a mirror, the old marquis was even more because of this matter, the first time to the satisfied fifth daughter-in-law was dissatisfied.

When An Shiyan went to accompany Meng Shi again, his heart was very complicated, he couldn't tell what it was, he only knew that he had been deceived by his wife, he wanted to be angry, he wanted to reprimand his wife, but as soon as he saw his wife's bright and cheerful smiling face because of his company, he couldn't put his mind down, and all kinds of feelings were entangled in his heart, making him weak and tired.

"Since you don't want to take care of the affairs of the house, let's take care of your body in the yard in the future, it's okay to be idle, the sisters-in-law on the left and right are all capable, and I don't miss your ideas."

In the end, An Shiyan could only smile and leave such a sentence, and then got up and went back to the study under the pretext that something was wrong.

Meng Shi only thought that he was considerate and cared for himself, and he was so moved that he didn't even care about going to the study, and told his joy to the evening snow.

Wanxue listened with a smile, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

In the study, An Shiyan sat behind the desk, the wolf in his hand was raised for a long time, and the rice paper in front of him was still blank.

"Tuk Tuk" twice, there was a knock on the door of the study, and because the waiter was kicked out, An Shiyan personally asked, "Who?" ”

"Fifth master, the concubine made some snacks, I want you to try them." Xue's clear voice sounded outside the door.

An Shiyan was momentarily stunned, and in his memory, it seemed that his wife had never made snacks for him. There was a bitterness in his heart, and after hesitating for a while, he raised his voice: "Come in." He put the pen back on the pen holder.

Xue Shi pushed the door in with the food box, with a refreshing and soft smile, and said, "Fifth Master." ”

An Shiyan bowed slightly, and his attitude was not close.

For the Xue family, An Shiyan did not have the slightest love, and the reason why he would take the Xue family back to the Hou Mansion was more out of a sense of responsibility and gratitude. Although Xue calculated him back then and made him ashamed of his wife, it is undeniable that Xue's deep affection also moved him to be grateful. first gave birth to blood for him without seeking fame, and then took care of his biological mother for him for ten years, even if he was a hard-hearted person, he would be moved, not to mention that he was not a ruthless person. It is also because of this that after making the first mistake, he couldn't help but beg and made a second mistake to let Xue conceive a child again.

But it would be impossible to say that he had no problem with the Xue clan at all, and even now, he was unwilling to face the Xue clan too much. This is also the reason why after taking the Xue family back to the Hou Mansion, he rarely went to the Xue family's courtyard, let alone stayed in her courtyard to stay and eat.

However, after the provincial relatives came back, he did get a lot closer to Xue, so in a chance encounter, he found that Xue could understand him and would comfort and enlighten him, rather than blindly relying on him, which allowed him to find an outlet to vent his feelings.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had seen Xue since then.

It is false to say that he is not guilty, but this guilt is not as good as his concern for his wife, so he can only ignore it.

And the Xue family has long been accustomed to his indifference.

Taking out the dim sum from the food box, Xue Shi presented the chopsticks and said with a faint smile: "The fifth master will taste it while it is hot, and the concubine will not bother." After that, he bowed his head slightly, picked up the food box and was about to leave.

Such an indifferent attitude made An Shiyan's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but call: "Wait a minute." ”

Xue Shi turned his head, with a little surprise and surprise in his eyes, and said happily: "The fifth master still has orders?" ”

There was another wave of emotion in his heart, An Shiyan evoked a shallow smile and said, "Qizhu is not here, you can grind it for me." ”

"Yes, Fifth Master." Xue couldn't suppress his excitement and smiled.

Xue leaned on the side of the table grinding, his eyebrows were supple, and An Shiyan raised his pen and splashed ink, with great momentum.

Xue looked over and saw two lines of wild grass on the snow-white rice paper, and she couldn't recognize it.

An Shiyan saw her frowning slightly, and asked with a smile: "Don't recognize it?" ”

Xue's face was slightly red, and he didn't make a big deal, he shook his head frankly and smiled: "The concubine only knows a few words. ”

Seeing her so straightforward, An Shiyan's smile deepened in the corners of his eyes, and when he thought of his wife who had similar interests and high talents, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Xue naturally knew why he frowned, paused, and said, "Although the concubine doesn't know much truth, she also knows that she can't hide her worries, and the more she hides, the more annoying she becomes. ”

Hearing this, An Shiyan was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not annoying, it's just a little tired." ”

He let out a long sigh, put the pen back on the pen holder, and said quietly: "Maybe I'm too greedy, I didn't care about it before, but now I care about it, and I care about it a lot, so I'm tired." ”

Xue's eyes flashed slightly, "Since you are tired, just rest, there is always something that does not make the fifth master feel tired." ”

"Perhaps." An Shiyan smiled faintly, as if he didn't understand Xue's extraneous voice.

In his heart, he was not disappointed, Xue Shi covered up a smile and said, "Fifth Master, the concubine has been here for a while, so I won't bother you." ”

"Hmm." An Shiyan bowed slightly, and did not keep it.

Xue Shi took a deep look at his handsome and dusty side face, and left with a full of unwillingness and loss. (To be continued......)
