Out of the front hall, on the way back to Lanxiang Pavilion, I didn't want Shui Dushan to chase after her, Hongying looked at her with disdain, turned around and whispered: "Who is Meng Qiuhe, hum, the daughter born must not be a good thing."

"Red tassel", Shui Lianyue called coldly, and then Red Tassel changed to a playful smile.

"Why is my sister in such a hurry? Isn't there something going on in Lanxiang Pavilion?" Shui Dushan walked over quickly, gasping slightly, her fair cheeks were unusually ruddy due to the trot just now, which made her eyebrows and eyes a little more charming.

Shui Lianyue turned around, frowning slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied with Shui Dushan's words, and said indifferently: "What can happen to Lanxiang Pavilion?" It's just that my sister is in a hurry this time, isn't she in a hurry to do something"?

Shui Dushan was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's just that I haven't crossed paths with my sister for many years, which makes me a little ashamed of being a sister."

"Oh".

Shui Dushan was a little uncomfortable with Shui Lianyue's simple response, but she was still enthusiastic, and said softly: "Now that my sister's status is different, many can also help my sister, if my sister has anything to do in the future, just come to my sister."

"My sister doesn't have anything to do on weekdays, I'm afraid I'm going to live up to my sister's kindness", Shui Lianyue's euphemistic refusal made Shui Dushan's eyebrows a little annoyed, but she tried her best to endure it.

"In the past, Aunt Liu was in charge, and my sister must have suffered a lot, no matter what, it's just different from the past, you still need to come to my sister if you have something, and my sister will definitely help my sister if she can help."

Shui Lianyue said with disdain in her heart, even if my mother is in charge today, I may not be much better, just look at the trick just now, it is enough to prove that your mother is no better than Aunt Liu.

I wanted to think so, but I couldn't express it, "If my sister is fine, my sister will go back first", as she spoke, Shui Lianyue didn't leave room for Shui Dushan to speak, and turned around and slowly left with Hongying.

Shui Dushan didn't show any anger, but sneered at Shui Lianyue's departing back, where could she still see the innocent and simple look in the corner of her eyes, completely the same shrewd look as Meng Qiuhe.

My mother has her plan, I have my own countermeasures, I am kind enough to envelop you, but you don't know what to do, you want to make me angry, anyway, you have already threatened the position of my daughter-in-law, then, I can't keep you anymore.

The night breeze was slightly cool, after returning to the Lanxiang Pavilion, Shui Lianyue simply had some dinner, then turned around and went into the back room, and called the red tassel in, although the fourth lady was puzzled, but the daughter was older, naturally there were many secrets in the boudoir that others and even her mother could not say, plus Qiaocui beside her also enlightened a few words, she also smiled.

Pushing open the window, the wind was blowing, and it was extremely refreshing, but Hongying was very frightened and wanted to close the window.

"Miss, your body still needs to be recuperated, it's cold at night, don't blow your body anymore."

Shui Lianyue smiled helplessly, since when did Hongying become like an old mother, for fear that she would be hot and cold, but she was still very happy to cooperate, "Okay, listen to the words of the Red Manager, don't make trouble for the Red Manager."

"Miss, what is the chief manager of Hong, that is the eunuch in the palace", Hongying closed the window, turned around and said coquettishly.

Shui Lianyue suddenly pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh? Is it? That's Miss, I've made a slip of the tongue, Mother Red is not weird."

"What Miss Red Mother, you always make fun of people and ignore you."

"Hongying, you say, is Meng Qiuhe too idle?" After the two laughed for a while, Shui Lianyue suddenly said in a deep voice.

Hongying was stunned, pondered, and then sighed: "This Meng Qiuhe, I didn't think it was so powerful before, but I didn't expect that after becoming a big lady, her means are much more clever than Aunt Liu's, and she is very good at inviting people's hearts."

"Oh? Invite people to buy hearts"? Shui Lianyue looked at Hongying in amazement and asked.

Hongying nodded, and sat on the edge of the bed with the young lady, she was the slave maid of the young lady in front of the person, but she was never restrained in front of the young lady in private, "Since Meng Qiuhe became the eldest lady, in addition to sending a few exquisite pieces of furniture to our Lanxiang Pavilion, she also spent a sum of money from the account room, and rewarded the maid who had been angry with Aunt Liu before, and those who used to serve in Aunt Liu's room, some of them were sent by Meng Qiuhe to do farm work in the Zhuangzi, and some were sold to people's teeth, she rewarded and punished clearly, and she was never as arrogant and arrogant as Aunt Liu. Treat the subordinates quite considerately, let me ask, such a housewife, who can not like it"?

"Heh, in this way, the people in the house and her are all of the same mind"?

"The same can be said".

Shui Lianyue sneered, and a strange color flashed between her phoenix eyes, but her words were indifferent: "In this case, things are much easier."

Hongying glanced at Shui Lianyue in surprise, and suddenly understood in her heart, I'm afraid that Miss is going to make a move again.

In the middle of the month, there was a faint candlelight in the fourth lady's room, obviously not asleep, Shui Lianyue stood at the door in a profane dress, and asked softly: "Is the mother sleeping"?

Inside the house, when the fourth lady heard her daughter's voice, she immediately put down the embroidery in her hand, got out of bed and opened the door to welcome her in. What should I do if I get a chill? The big wedding is approaching, and he doesn't care about what he does."

Shui Lianyue smiled playfully and hugged her mother's shoulders, but her heart was warm, and it was good to feel like a mother.

Sleeping on the same bed with her mother, at least, for the first time for the current Shui Lianyue, leaning on her mother's soft arms, the tip of her nose is surrounded by her faint body fragrance, and her heart is warm, this is probably the taste of her mother.

"Mother, do you still have Shui Yunheng in your heart"? Shui Lianyue fiddled with the green silk scattered by her mother and asked softly.

The fourth lady was stunned, casually tucked the corner of the quilt for Shui Lianyue, and sighed: "You, how can you say that he is also your father, how can you be so disrespectful and call him famous?"

"Mother don't want to change the topic, answer your daughter", Shui Lianyue shook her body coquettishly, and the fourth lady was very helpless, Xu remembered all kinds of things, for her daughter's question, she just sighed, and finally said: "The love in the family is insignificant compared to interests, and it is always these women in the house who are sad, my mother used to care, but in the end, it is just a dream bubble, just think about it, there is really no need to go to the heart, that will only hurt yourself."

Shui Lianyue stopped talking, savoring her mother's words, what her mother said was very subtle and tactful, but she could still feel that her mother still cared.

"Mother, what would you do if there would be many little ladies and aunts in Shuifu in the future?" Shui Lianyue cautiously tentatively said, she didn't want to, and she couldn't bear to touch her mother's sensitive bottom line, but it was always good to ask some things clearly.

The fourth lady looked at the blue-gray curtain beside the bed, her eyes narrowed, and she seemed to be a little melancholy and said: "In Shuifu, without Liu Ruyan, there will be Meng Qiuhe, without Meng Qiuhe, there will be Zhao Hanyu, he has lived half his life, but there are not many heirs, how can he be willing?" Therefore, in the future, there will only be more women in Shuifu, not less."

"Don't you care?" Shui Lianyue then asked.

The fourth lady shook her head and took a deep breath, "If my mother cares, how can I live until now?" I'm afraid that it has long been lifeless, sick and dead in bed, and the person who supports my mother to live to this day is you, my mother's precious daughter."

Shui Lianyue has never been a crying woman, and she occasionally cries, also because of her previous special profession, she has to act on the spot.

But now, the corners of her eyes were moist, and she tried not to let tears come out of her eyes, but she was moved and grateful at the same time.

This is her heartache, this is her heartfelt distress for her mother, she didn't know that her mother loved her so much, she cared about her, she secretly swore in her heart, she must take her mother out of here, in this life, she has to guard her mother's side, accompany her mother to spend the second half of her life safely, she wants to be filial to her mother, she also wants to let her mother live the best life.
