Zhao Xiu had this idea, and on the second day, he sent two decent mothers-in-law to the Jiang family and the Fang family respectively.

On the Jiang family's side, the second wife of Jiang answered the words, and her attitude was very polite. The distance between the capital and Tianjin is not far away, and the family of the fourth master of Jiang will send people back to Beijing from time to time to send letters and things, and the Jiang family in the capital often sends people over, and the two sides are in contact very frequently, so there is no need for the Zhao family to bring something. However, Mrs. Jiang still thanked Zhao Xiu for her kindness, wished her ancestors and grandchildren a smooth journey, and asked the Zhao family's mother-in-law to bring Zhao Xiu some gifts back. There is a basket of fresh fruits, and two boxes of fine snacks made by the Jiang family, all of which taste good.

But the attitude of the Fang family was different. Almost all of the Fang family's descendants went to Jining, and the rest except for the servants who watched the house, only Fang Sanye's wife and youngest daughter Fang Liu, but they temporarily returned to Fang San's maiden house to live. At present, he is in charge of the affairs of the Fang family, an elder of the side branch, and he still has feelings for the nephews of the branch of the branch, but he is not strong. He thought that Fang Sanye was just sending his sister-in-law and nephew to Jining, and he would come back in a short time, so there was no need to bring anything to go over, just wrote a letter and asked the Zhao family to hand it over. When asked about Fang Huizhu, his expression was indifferent: "The eldest niece has never come home to see her mother and siblings since she left the capital, and I heard that she is raising a baby now." When her aunts heard that she was not in good health, they went over to see her, and she was too lazy to meet, thinking that there was nothing important to say. ”

The mothers-in-law came back and reported to Zhao Xiu, and Zhao Xiu couldn't help sighing. Obviously, when Fang Huizhu was in the boudoir, she could still say that the people of the moving clan abandoned Fang Yishan. I think there is also some face in the clan. But after she got married, she had a stiff relationship with her mother's family, and she didn't know how to put down her body to make up for it, and now her parents and relatives are not in the capital. Even the people didn't like to care about her anymore. The news that she was not in good health after pregnancy has long been rumored, and the Fang family almost ignored it, and they can't be blamed for being ruthless.

Zhao Xiu didn't want to care about Fang Huizhu, but just wanted to be friends with Fang Renzhu, but now that their family is away, there is only this one sister left in Beijing. If she passed by Jining and saw Fang Renzhu, the other party asked her about Fang Huizhu's recent situation. Could it be that she could not prevaricate with only a word of hearsay? Anyway, it wasn't too troublesome, she still sent her mother-in-law to Meishan Bofu to ask Fang Huizhu if she needed to send a letter to her parents. I want to come to Fang Huizhu and be a jerk again. It's not that you don't even bother to write a letter to greet your family, do you?

Who knew that the people of Meishan Bofu learned of the intention of the mother-in-law of Jiannanhou Mansion, and did not report the second young grandmother Fang Huizhu, but directly reported to Mrs. Meishan Bo. Mrs. Meishan Bo personally met with the mother-in-law. I learned the reason for the incident. He smiled and said, "Your girl is so polite." But my daughter-in-law doesn't have any letters to ask her to bring, so thank you for your kindness for me. ”

The mother-in-law was very surprised, she only felt that this was unreasonable, so she suspected that the Qiu family did not like the daughter-in-law to contact her mother's family, and said with a smile: "I beg your bedame to forgive me, our girl has ordered, we must meet the second young grandmother in the house." If the little one goes back like this, our girl will be punished. ”

Mrs. Meishan smiled. called the big girl next to her: "You go and ask later, see if your brother and daughter-in-law want to see the guests." "The big girl went. However, after a cup of tea, the kung fu turned around: "The second young grandmother said that she is not good today, and she is afraid that she will be rude in front of others, so she will not meet." She asked the slave to tell her that she was grateful for Miss Zhao's kindness, and asked Miss Zhao to help bring her family when she saw her. ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the second young grandmother in the house?" Sick? That's amazing. ”

Mrs. Meishanbo's face stiffened, and she smiled hurriedly: "Actually, it's not a serious illness, it's just that her pregnancy is a little unstable, and the family is not at ease, so let her recuperate." However, recently, the doctor came to check the pulse and said that it has improved a lot, and it is no big problem to come. You don't have to tell your girl the truth when you go back, for if she makes a fuss and tells her in-laws, it will make them worried. ”

Even the woman felt a lot of noise at these words, but she had no choice but to go back to her home and resume her life. Zhao Xiu felt strange when he heard it. Is Fang Huizhu's body good or bad? If it's okay, then why don't you want to see the mother-in-law she sent? If you are too lazy to see people and know the intention of your mother-in-law, you should write a letter to trust her to transfer it to her parents, but just let her bring a good word? I really don't know how the Fang family's parents will feel when they know about this.

But if Fang Huizhu's health is really not good, she can't even get up to meet guests, and she can't even write a letter, then why should Mrs. Meishan Bo hide it? also specially instructed the mother-in-law not to report, saving Zhao Xiu from suing Fang Chongshan and his wife, so that they were worried.

Zhao Xiu faintly felt that something was wrong, but Meishan Bofu and Jiannan Hou Mansion had always had a mediocre relationship, and she couldn't inquire about anything, if she rashly came to the door to ask to see Fang Huizhu, people could also refuse. After thinking about it, she decided to go to someone who could see Fang Huizhu for help.

She was looking for Mrs. Feng, Feng Xiuqin's mother.

Mrs. Feng is the daughter of the Fang family, it is said that she is Fang Huizhu's aunt, the blood relationship is not far away, she has always had a good relationship with Mrs. Fang, and her daughter often has contacts with the sisters of the Fang family. She is different from the Cao Fang clan of the Cao family, and she is not close to Fang Yishan, so she will not be suspicious of Fang Yishan because of Fang Yishan's expulsion. Zhao Xiu thought to herself, with the relationship between Mrs. Feng and Fang Huizhu, if she heard that the latter was sick and could not see guests, it should be no problem to go directly to the backyard to visit.

So Zhao Xiu went directly to the Feng family.

She went straight to the point and said her intention to find Shang Huizhu, and Mrs. Feng was a little moved when she heard it: "Miss Zhao is really a kind person, and it is really a blessing that the benevolent girl can have you as a friend." "Actually, Mrs. Feng has heard a little about Fang Huizhu's calculation of Zhao Xiu. Although it is Fang Renzhu who is good friends with Zhao Xiu, Zhao Xiu is willing to look at Fang Renzhu's face and ignore the past suspicions of Fang Huizhu, who once had bad intentions, which shows her integrity. Mrs. Feng felt that she should have let her daughter Xiuqin make friends with such a good friend, and secretly regretted that she had missed a good time, and now Feng Xiuqin and Zhao Xiu have a friendship that can only be regarded as general, and I don't know if they can form a deep friendship in the future.

Feng Xiuqin still had a pure face, and she didn't know what her mother was thinking. She said to Zhao Xiu: "The eldest cousin really told your mother-in-law. Just let you bring a good one for your uncle and aunt? Didn't prepare a gift, didn't even write a letter? That's too much, isn't it? The eldest uncle and aunt used to love her a lot, and they were separated for a few months. She is so cold, it is really unfilial. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and turned to Mrs. Feng: "Frankly speaking, if these words were said by Senior Sister Fang in front of my mother-in-law, I guarantee that I will never come to the door to ask for fun again." It's just that my mother-in-law has never seen Sister Fang, and every qiē is relayed by Mrs. Meishan Bo and her girl. And Mrs. Meishanbo has some contradictions in the description of Sister Fang's condition. I can't be sure, I always feel that something is wrong here. I think I'm an outsider, and I don't have much position to take care of other people's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. But the trip went south. If you really see Miss Fang Wu, you can't tell her the truth, right? Even if Sister Fang really has no filial piety, I have to inquire about her current physical condition before I can explain it to Mrs. Fang. As for what their own families will do after that. Then it's none of my business. ”

Mrs. Feng nodded and said, "This is right. I've got it. Regardless of whether the wise girl is a real illness or a fake disease. What's so strange about Mrs. Meishanbo's words, why should I, as an aunt, go over and look at her. If the wise girl really refuses to write a letter to her parents, then even if I scold, I have to scold her until she knows that she is wrong. ”

Zhao Xiu listened to it and went home with confidence. Mrs. Feng's side thought for a long time, and then ordered someone to deliver a post to Meishan Bofu, which was enough to pay for the door-to-door visit. Although her status is not too high, she is a fate. is also a relative, and he is quite popular in the upper circle of the capital. Mrs. Meishan didn't dare to ignore it, so she took the post.

Mrs. Feng arrived at Meishanbo's mansion and talked to Mrs. Meishanbo first. She specially found an excuse, saying that her husband's birthday was approaching, although it was not a full birthday, and she didn't plan to have a big banquet, but it was natural for her family to gather together and have fun. She plans to invite her close relatives and friends over, and her maiden niece Fang Huizhu is naturally indispensable, and she also sent an invitation to Mrs. Meishan Bo by the way, and Qiu Yuan was not left behind: "Our sister Qin has always missed her second sister Qiu, but unfortunately Ling Yan has always been at home recently and refuses to come to our house to play." ”

Mrs. Meishan Bo smiled dryly, with a little sneer on her face. The rumors about Qiu Yuan and the eldest prince of Anyang Bofu have just been suppressed, and when he goes out with his daughter at this time, isn't he making trouble for his family? Even if you want to go to someone else's house, you have to wait until the rumor passes. But Mrs. Feng didn't mention this, of course she couldn't expose her shortcomings, so she was polite to Mrs. Feng for a long time, and once again used Fang Huizhu's bad pregnancy and inconvenient mobility as an excuse, and said that she wanted to take care of her daughter-in-law at home, and politely declined Mrs. Feng's invitation.

Mrs. Feng suddenly exclaimed: "Although I have heard about it, I never knew that Hui Yatou's body has deteriorated to this point!" I don't know, but since I know today, I have to go and see her no matter what, and ask my in-laws to fulfill it. ”

Mrs. Meishan Bo was shocked and took a serious look at Mrs. Feng. The moment she realized how serious Mrs. Feng's eyes were, she knew that she would not be able to stop the other party by continuing to use the same reason as before. Maybe she was cheeky and could indeed stop Mrs. Feng from seeing Fang Huizhu, but what about after she stopped it? Mrs. Feng is the daughter of the Fang family, wouldn't she directly stab the matter to Fang Chongshan's side? At present, there is still more than half a year before the second son's concubine is born, and if the matter is exposed, Meishan Bofu will immediately become the target of public criticism. Not to mention the ruined reputation, even the marriage of her daughter Qiu Yuan did not expect that there would be a good result.

The Qiu family has put so much effort into holding on to this day, and it is not for such a result.

Mrs. Meishanbo's mind was in a flash, and she had already made up her mind, and she barely squeezed out a smile: "Of course." But please wait a moment while I can see if my brother and daughter-in-law can hold up to meet the guests. Saying that, she was about to get up from her seat, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Feng also got up: "Mrs. In-law is too polite, I and Hui Yatou are not outsiders, I have watched her grow up since childhood." She is not good now, so why bother to bother with grooming and changing clothes? I'll just get over it. ”

Mrs. Meishanbo's face suddenly turned white. (To be continued......)
