Excited, Mama Li completely forgot about Fang Cai's embarrassment, and stepped forward again and said, "Yes, old lady, Miss Lan is also quite old, and she has her own ideas, so let her decide for herself." ”

The matter of succession is already ironclad, and she doesn't want her wife to bear any responsibility and be criticized in the future.

As for what will happen to Miss Six, she doesn't care at all, in her opinion, this is all forced by the old lady, if the old lady doesn't force the lady to speak, how can the fire burn on the sixth lady?

Speaking of which, it is the old lady who is selfish, and it is really no wonder that they are so.

Mama Li slandered in her heart.

Hearing this, the old lady sank her face, and her eyes were vague and inexplicable.

Looking deeply at Mama Li, who was rickety, thin, and treacherous and happy, the old lady said slowly: "This person is old, but it is easy to forget things, that day, before going to Puji Temple, because of Meng Laomei's coming, I forgot an important thing." ”

Inexplicably, as soon as the words that had nothing to do with the previous words came out, everyone couldn't help but look sideways.

The old lady took a sip of tea, and she didn't say it clearly, but suddenly called the fourth lady and said: "Mama Li made trouble in your yard that day, and this matter has not yet been dealt with, it just so happens that the big guys are here today, the fourth daughter-in-law, you are the victim, you can talk about it, how do you want to deal with this disrespectful and rude Diao slave?" ”

As soon as you say that, everyone understands.

The blood on Mama Li's face instantly faded completely, and she stiffly turned her head to look at Meng Shi for help.

Meng Shi was also shocked, she thought that the incident had passed like that, where did she expect the old lady to bring up the old matter again?

But she didn't dare to plead with her mother-in-law, so she could only laugh dryly and try to change the topic: "Mother, at the moment, Sister Lan's matter is still important, and later, the daughter-in-law will give the fourth sister-in-law an explanation." He said. He looked pleadingly at the fourth lady.

However, the fourth lady, who had always been good friends with her, looked away at this time.

I have experienced Tianyuan Temple. and Mama Li's troubles in the fourth room, the fourth lady's affection for the Meng family has long faded.

Seeing this, Meng Shi couldn't help but sink in his heart.

Mama Li also realized that something was wrong, and echoed in a loud voice: "The old slave is at the disposal of the fourth lady, but for now, let's discuss the matter of the sixth lady first." ”

The old lady ignored her. There was a pause. Turning his head to Mama Song, who was standing aside, he said, "You go and take a look, if it's convenient for Lan'er, let her come over." Secretly glanced at Mama Song.

Mama Song will understand. Fu Shen was about to go out, but Mama Li stopped her and said flatteringly: "Where bother Mama Song to go, I'll go, I'll go!" ”

After that, if you take the first two steps, you have to take the job.

"You stay. Just take advantage of this file, you can ask your wife to give an explanation to the fourth daughter-in-law. The old lady said lightly.

Hearing this, Mama Li's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she couldn't move a step further.

Mama Song bowed and left.

Mama Li came back to her senses, suddenly knelt down with a thud, kowtowed to the fourth lady, and said, "Fourth lady." The old slave deserves to die. The old slave is always confused, and he will wrongfully contradict you. You don't remember the villain, so spare the old slave this time! ”

She burst into tears, which startled the fourth lady.

The fourth lady has a soft temperament, although she is not as close to the Meng family as she used to be, and she has a lot of grievances towards Mama Li, but she has never been a ruthless person, seeing Mama Li kowtow to her and beg for mercy, she can't help but feel compassion.

While begging for mercy, Mama Li secretly observed the expression of the fourth lady, and when she saw the fourth lady's face showing pity, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt proud in her heart.

The weak and incompetent fourth lady is really easy to handle!

Just didn't wait for her to relax completely, the third lady said: "You also know that you have made a big mistake, so you will not be wronged by punishing you, according to the rules of our Hou Mansion, disrespectful, contradicting the master, making trouble in the backyard, at worst, you will be killed with a cane, or at least you will be beaten with one or twenty boards and expelled from the mansion." ”

After that, she turned her head to look at the old lady and asked, "Mother, but such a rule?" ”

The old lady had a faint smile in her eyes and nodded imperceptibly.

Mama Li's face suddenly turned to ashes.

A pair of depleted eyes looked at Meng Shi blankly.

Meng Shi was furious at the bottom of her heart, knowing that she could no longer stay out of the matter, she could only plead for Mama Li: "Mother, Mama Li is old, and people are inevitably confused, you can spare her this time for the sake of her serving her daughter-in-law for so many years and being loyal." ”

If she wasn't worried that she would provoke criticism by standing idly by, she wouldn't want to wade into troubled waters.

Thinking that she had to put down her face for Mama Li and plead with her mother-in-law to say good things, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she looked at Mama Li more and more unpleasantly.

She thought that when this matter was over, there would be no need for Mama Li, so she would send Mama Li away to save her eyes.

Meng forgot that Mama Li did everything for her.

Mama Li didn't know Meng's thoughts, and when she saw her interceding for herself, hope ignited in her eyes again.

The old lady glanced at Meng Shi lightly, but she didn't speak back, and motioned for Murong Shi to deal with it with her eyes.

Murong looked at the old lady respectfully, raised his head and expanded his chest, and said loudly: "As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, and Mama Li has committed a lot of things, if she is spared this time, I am afraid that she will not be able to convince the public, and it is very likely to encourage crooked spirits." ”

The sonorous and powerful tone is extremely solemn and solemn.

Meng Shi was shocked by her momentum, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he grabbed his handkerchief and said, "Can't you look at my face and spare this time?" ”

Although the voice was very small, everyone present could hear it clearly, and the third lady couldn't help but laugh.

It's just a lady with a five-room room, how much face do you want?

If you want to save face, don't marry the fifth uncle!

Besides, your face is face, but the fourth aunt's face is not face?

Or is it a talented woman who was once famous in Shengjing, do you understand the respect and inferiority of the elderly?

The third lady almost made a sarcastic remark.

Despite this, the sneer also made Meng Shi blush.

She didn't dare to speak again.

Mama Li looked at this, then at that, and finally drooped her shoulders in despair.

At this moment, Mama Song, who went to call An Ruolan, came back, but she was the only one who came.

Mama Song blessed everyone present and said, "Back to the old lady, Miss Six had a bad stomach in the morning." It was inconvenient to come over at the moment, so she asked the slave maid to bring a message, saying that it was a qiē but it was on the orders of the fifth lady. ”

After speaking. She retreated behind the old lady and shook her hand secretly.

The old lady knew that this meant that Mama Song's words were An Ruolan's meaning, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Meng Shi's face was full of disbelief, he stood up in surprise, and exclaimed, "How can this be?!" ”

was swept away by the old lady's harsh gaze. She quickly sat down.

Mama Li couldn't say a word. Now she can't protect herself, and she is not qualified to speak again.

Under the gaze of the old lady, and the four ladies. Meng's eyes turned red, but she had no excuse to shirk again, so she had no choice but to bite her lower lip unwillingly, and said stubbornly: "That being the case, then, then let Lan'er succeed." This is also for the good ...... of the Hou Mansion."

Before she finished speaking, she was already in tears, and she didn't know if she was resentful in her heart, or if she was really a little reluctant to An Ruolan.

There was silence in Songhe Hall.

After a while, the old lady half-closed her eyelids and said heavily: "Even if it is to succeed." The old woman also hopes that Sister Lan can continue to stay in the Wenxin Marquis Mansion. What do you guys think? ”

These words were addressed to the four members of the Murong clan.

"This ......" The four ladies looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

The old lady was aware of their concerns. did not force them to make a decision immediately, but said: "You go back and think about it, and discuss it with the boss, but you can give me an answer tomorrow." ”

Then he turned to Meng Shi and said, "Mama Li is your person after all, so I will hand it over to you for punishment, and you can do it yourself." ”

After that, without waiting for everyone to reply, he waved his hand tiredly and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Murong had no choice but to lead his four younger siblings away.

Out of Yirong Garden, Meng was helped away by Xia He crying, and Mama Li followed her in despair, becoming more and more rickety and short.

The four members of the Murong clan looked at this scene and shook their heads and sighed.

After a few more gossip, the four ladies also broke up.

The fourth lady was absent-minded all the way, and her roommate's mother knew that she had something in her heart, so she sent the accompanying maid away and asked, and said in a low voice: "Madame, do you want to recognize Miss Six?" ”

was broken by the thoughts, and the fourth lady did not hide it, and said with her head bowed: "I only have one son under my knees now, if I can get a smart and well-behaved daughter, it will be a good thing." ”

"But the rumors ......," the accompanying mother frowned, "Mrs. Shizi and the other two ladies are silent, Xu is worried about this, isn't Madame worried?" ”

The fourth lady shook her head, "The reason why the sisters-in-law didn't agree immediately is because they already have daughters-in-law. ”

If you already have a biological daughter, if you adopt an heir, you will inevitably be biased towards the two children in the future.

After a pause, she lowered her voice again and said: "To tell the truth, although I was scared at first, but the more I thought about it, the more strange I felt, not long after we came back from Tianyuan Temple, the fifth uncle had an accident, which was too coincidental." You say, why did a good horse suddenly go berserk and crash into the wall? It's not so much bad luck as it is more like being framed by someone. ”

"Let's talk about the impeachment of the fifth uncle, this is not a fortune to be taken away, but self-inflicted, if there is no stubble about the Xue family's return home, can the fifth uncle be impeached? I feel that even if the fifth uncle's fortune is really taken away, it shouldn't be Sister Lan, what about the two who only entered the mansion last year? ”

As she spoke, the fourth lady shook her head abruptly, feeling more and more that the Meng clan was too narrow and selfish, far from what she knew.

She was very suspicious that this qiē was all done by Meng.

When the accompanying mother heard her say this, she was both pleased that she could see it thoroughly, but she was also worried that she would be burned, so she couldn't help but persuade: "You can just talk about this matter with the slave and maid in private, and don't mention it again in the future." ”

If someone really has the ability to set up such a big game, they would still be wise enough to protect themselves.

The fourth lady bowed her head again and again: "I naturally know." ”

Then the master and servant said no more. (To be continued)
