Chapter 64: Falling into the Well
Shu Xin saluted the old lady respectfully, lowered his head and said: "Xin'er greets the old lady, we are late and hope that the old lady will forgive." ”
The old lady glanced at Shu Xin coldly and snorted lightly: "You have a lot to do." ”
Mrs. Shu has always been outspoken and fast-talking, Shu Xin knows that the old lady doesn't like her, the old lady is already unhappy because of the late arrival of the big house, and the eldest lady is now putting the responsibility of being late on herself, and the old lady must be even more disgusted with herself.
Shu Xin snorted coldly in his heart, looked up at the old lady sadly, lowered his head and continued.
"Xin'er didn't come late on purpose, but Xin'er was seriously ill and just recovered, although it was a cold and not tuberculosis, but it was also a contagious disease, Xin'er wanted to completely heal and then come to the old lady on time every day to say goodbye."
Shu Xin's voice was soft but the words were clear, revealing sincerity, and then the words turned with a hint of apprehension and uneasiness.
"But...... Mother thought that Xin'er was no longer in trouble, and this morning she ordered someone to summon Xin'er to come to the old lady to say goodbye, but Xin'er didn't dare to delay for a moment and rushed over, and Xin'er didn't dare to neglect the old lady in the slightest. Please also ask the old lady to investigate. ”
The whole room of people changed color under the comfortable words, especially the old lady, whose already not very good face was immediately gloomy and terrifying, and glanced at the eldest lady coldly, everyone present grew up in the courtyard of the deep house, how could they not understand the meaning of the comfortable words?
She was comfortable that the infection would make the old lady sick, so she decided not to come to the morning province first. But the eldest lady didn't want to let her come to the morning province so much, obviously she didn't think about the old lady's body at all.
She came directly at the order of the eldest lady, but she was still late, what does that mean? It shows that the eldest lady informed her that it was already too late. She didn't dare to snub the old lady, didn't this mean that the eldest lady deliberately neglected the old lady.
Originally, the eldest lady deliberately neglected the old lady and it remains to be explored, but she retreated all the responsibility for being late to Shu Xin, what is the relationship between Shu Xin and the eldest lady, how many people in the Shu family don't know?
It's just deliberately designed to be comfortable! It also showed that the eldest lady had no responsibility and no anger from everyone, and she actually designed to frame the vicious quality of the concubine, which is really flattering.
The eldest lady is covering the sky with one hand in the backyard of the Shu family, and the old lady is turning a blind eye, what she usually does, how to treat those concubines, the old lady actually knows, but it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to care.
This morning, Shu Xin asked the old lady to investigate, she still needs to investigate, she doesn't need to check at all, she knows that she is telling the truth.
Shu Xin's sentences were thorny, and the roots pierced the vital point of the eldest lady, the eldest lady was secretly angry and gritted her teeth, she secretly hated herself for underestimating Shu Xin's combat effectiveness, but she didn't expect her to press several charges on herself in just a few words, and she was completely speechless.
The eldest lady wanted to explain, but now the situation paled in the light of no matter how she explained it, and it was only sophistry to the ears of the old lady.
Shu Pan saw that his mother had fallen and suffered a loss, he was anxious, and was about to open his mouth to argue, but was stopped by the eldest lady with a look, and the eldest lady's mind turned quickly, ready to come soft, and personally apologize to the old lady for her guilt.
But before the eldest lady could speak, the second lady, who had always been at odds with the big house, took the lead in opening her mouth, and her tone was neither yin nor yang: "Sister-in-law is really, her heart and body have not completely healed, so she will be exempted from morning reflection, if you accidentally infect the old lady with a cold, then what is it?" She is a little girl who thinks about the old lady like this, why is the sister-in-law confused?
Although the sister-in-law probably wants the old lady to know the filial piety of the juniors, she also needs to find out the situation! What does it mean to be truly filial?
Let's talk about one more, if it's late, it's too late, and the sister-in-law arranges for the people around her to do things unfavorably, how can she blame all the faults on your heart? ”
The second lady's words made the old lady even more angry, and the second room was also her sister-in-law, and now the old lady is becoming more and more disappointed in the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was so angry that she was robbed by the second lady, and she wanted to speak again, but the old lady raised her hand and interrupted her: "Okay, it's not too early, let's go back!" In the future, if you don't want to come to the morning province, you don't have to come, and you will be angry when you look at it with hypocrisy, and I want to live a few more years with this old bone! ”
The atmosphere instantly condensed.
"Grandma, don't be angry." Shu Jie, Shu Chang, and Shu Le were secretly instructed by the second lady to immediately step forward to appease and please the old lady: "Grandma, don't be angry, it's not good if you're angry." ”
"Grandma, don't be angry!" Shu Kai also stepped forward to make the old lady happy at this time, the atmosphere gradually relaxed, Shu Pan and Shu Qing also stepped forward in time, and soon the old lady smiled happily, and her cold eyes were replaced with a relieved softness.
Knowing that the old lady didn't like herself, she stood comfortably in place and didn't step forward, so as not to dislike others.
The old lady knew that the eldest lady was indifferent to what the original comfort was doing, such an indifferent attitude, so that the current comfort really didn't like it, she didn't look at each other coldly, it was good for her to please and make the old lady happy, she was absolutely unwilling to do it, and she couldn't do it.
Shu Yan and Shu Li of the third room wanted to step forward but didn't dare, they just looked at it with their eyes, the third room was a concubine, and the old lady had always disliked their family, and the old lady was jealous of the mother of the third room master Shu Qixiang, Shu Qixiang was treated harshly by the old lady when he was a child.
The relationship between the women of the back house is nothing more than this, competing for the wind and jealousy, competing for favor and love, and even affecting the next generation and the next generation.
The old lady was comforted by her beloved grandchildren, sighed, left her two favorite grandchildren, and kindly asked the others to step down.
A group of people left one after another, and when they got out of the "Qinning Courtyard", the eldest lady and the second lady inevitably stabbed each other a few words, and went in the opposite direction.
Walking to a secluded place where there were few people, the eldest lady thought about what happened to the old lady, and her heart was angry, so she stopped, stared at Shu Xin viciously and asked, "Do you know what is wrong?" ”
Shu Xin blinked his pure eyes and looked at the eldest lady in confusion: "I don't know what my mother means by this?" What's wrong with your heart? ”
"You're right? You're not wrong? The eldest lady was so angry that she almost lost her mind, pointed at Shu Xin and snorted coldly and gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you mean by those words you said to the old lady?" You are guilty of slandering the master's mother, do you know that you are wrong? ”
"Slander?" Shu Xin smiled: "May I ask my mother, what is slander?" I didn't say a word of blame, I just briefly stated the facts. ”
"You still dare to be hard-mouthed." The eldest lady was annoyed and angry, she didn't need to confess her guilt comfortably, she didn't need any reason or excuse, she didn't care if he had a reputation or not, she had to teach Shu Xin a lesson, otherwise it would be difficult to swallow this morning's breath.
Shu Xin has repeatedly challenged her prestige in the past few days, and there are no outsiders here at the moment, she must teach Shu Xin a good lesson, so that she can clearly know her irreversible authority in the Shu family.
