Chapter 141: Adding fuel to the fire

Pomegranate walked out of Shen Yifeng's study and ran all the way to Mrs. Shen's room with tears wiped all the way. In a panic, she bumped into a maid, and she didn't stop, covering her mouth and walking sideways.

The maid hurriedly apologized for her sins, but her eyes kept looking at the pomegranate.

When the pomegranate ran away, the maid turned back to the second young grandmother's room.

"Second young grandmother, I saw it last night, and the pomegranate really went to the second young master's study, but it didn't take long for her to run out and still cry."

The second young grandmother Jiang Jingzhen was getting up in the morning to make up, and after listening to the maid's report, her eyes narrowed, she snorted, and turned her head to Qiao'er and said, "Reward." ”

Qiao'er went to the small box and took out two pieces of broken silver and gave them to the maid.

The maid swept the silver, but she was not very happy, and reluctantly thanked the second young grandmother, and then retreated.

Out of the house, the maid couldn't help pouting and muttered to herself: "What kind of small family is the Jiang family, these two young grandmothers are really picking the door and coming home!" ”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not worth it, so she simply took revenge and spread the news that the second young grandmother secretly inquired about the second young master and the maid in the mansion.

There are many people in the house, but it only takes half a day to spread.

"It's a big New Year's Eve and it's blocking me, what kind of luck is this!" The second young grandmother, Jiang Jingzhen, was anxious and angry.

But no matter how angry she is, she can't stop the mouths of the people, and she knows that this person is terrifying.

At lunchtime, the second young grandmother personally brought up the matter and explained it to her in-laws.

Mrs. Shen was magnanimous and didn't care about anything, but Master Shen was a little angry, saying that she was not virtuous as a wife. will cause trouble.

The second young grandmother wiped her tears aggrievedly. raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Yifeng. Shen Yifeng was always silent, and his face was not good.

The second young grandmother gritted her teeth, knelt down and thought about it behind closed doors.

Mrs. Shen persuaded her and cherished her daughter-in-law everywhere, but Master Shen refused to let go, so Mrs. Shen stopped and didn't say more.

Shen Yifeng still didn't say a word.

When the second young grandmother stepped back, she finally glanced at Shen Yifeng and looked at his indifferent side face. The second young grandmother couldn't help but feel chills in her heart.

The last time she came back to the door, she was out of the limelight, thinking that she was being calculated, but her fate was so good that she was in a good marriage, who expected that things were not what she thought.

Shen Yifeng treats her gently, and the two can be said to respect each other like guests. But except for the wedding night, he never returned to the new house, and the dragon saw the beginning and the end all day, and was often not in the house, as if he was very busy.

She also asked the reason sideways, but Shen Yifeng always avoided talking about it. In desperation, she mentioned this matter to Mrs. Shen and Master Shen, and she tried her best to be tactful and gentle. Unexpectedly, Master Shen was furious after hearing this.

"You married the Shen family as a daughter-in-law, don't you know the hardships of the Shen family? As a wife, you don't help your husband revive the Shen family, why do you still gossip and add chaos to the side? ”

At this point, she didn't dare to ask more.

But as the days passed, the more and more she felt that her wife was in name only, so she began to pay attention to it secretly, and found that the pomegranate in Mrs. Shen's house seemed to have a close relationship with Shen Yifeng.

Naturally, she couldn't swallow this breath, and after consideration, she decided to instruct the maid to monitor the pomegranate.

But who would have thought that before the evidence was obtained, the government would spread the news about her.

Although it is something that many wives have done to secretly find out whether their husband is having an affair with another woman, once this matter is brought to the table and talked about, she really can't stand the face of this dignified wife.

In the end, stealing chickens and rice made it impossible to make mistakes, so they had to compromise and give in to Master Shen and Mrs. Shen first, and let them come forward to suppress the gossip in the house.

Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to be a family reunion for the New Year, but the second young grandmother secretly wiped her tears in the house alone.

Even if you cry, you don't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that the maids below will hear it and make a fuss about it.

It was also the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the Jiang family had already picked up the clothes and was ready to move the family to Jiangnan.

Five carriages were parked side by side at the gate of the house, the first three were the cuigai Zhu Yinghua carriages for the masters, and the two ordinary flat-topped carriages were reserved for the accompanying mother-in-law and maids.

The old lady and the eldest and second masters and the grandfather Jiang Yonghong took the first car, the wives and daughters were in the second car, and the concubines and aunts were arranged in the third car.

The ladies and ladies had already finished dressing up and were waiting by the carriage, and the second master stood at the corner door and explained to Steward Li.

"The famous thorns that need to be congratulated have all been sent out?" He asked, frowning as he thought about what else he needed to explain.

"The officials who are farther away have already sent them out to ensure that they can arrive on the first day, and the closer ones are ready to be sent in the afternoon to avoid arriving early." After Steward Li finished speaking, he took out a plum blossom paper from his sleeve and handed it to the second master.

"This is a small one that was added last night, please take a look at the second master, is it okay?"

The second master took it and saw clearly that the name was tattooed with the three words of Nayi Guofu.

He thought for a moment and nodded: "The eldest young master of Yiguofu is kind to the third young lady, and this famous thorn should indeed be added to Yiguofu." Steward Li is thoughtful, which really makes me worry a lot. ”

Suddenly being praised made Steward Li feel a little uncomfortable, he smiled honestly, and hurriedly said, "Where is the second master?" The small ones can have today, and they are all cultivated by the second master! ”

The second master didn't praise anymore, nodded and instructed: "You remember to accept the famous assassins from other official families, and the masters have returned to the ancestral house, and the house will be temporarily handed over to you to take care of, don't take it lightly." ”

Steward Li bowed his head in response, thought about it and said, "If the little one is not sure, you can also ask the second wife, isn't the second wife still in the house?" ”

At the mention of the second wife, the second master's face suddenly changed, and he didn't say anything more, and stepped out of the door with two words.

The second wife didn't have to leave the house because the old lady spoke, saying that the second wife was sick and needed to recuperate, so she didn't need to go down to the south of the Yangtze River with her.

This decent remark is beautiful, but in fact, the real reason is that the old lady heard that the second lady had a rash all over her body, and she didn't want to take her back to be embarrassed.

The second wife took the medicine and slept soundly, and when she woke up it was early in the morning of the day of departure, and she dragged her tired and stiff body up to freshen up. But I heard that the old lady was unwilling to take her back to the ancestral home.

She froze.

What's going on? She is the second Mrs. Jiang. The daughter-in-law of the Jiang family!

How can there be a daughter-in-law who does not worship her ancestors?

What does this mean, old lady!

She was annoyed. Pointing at Xixiang and yelling: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and come over to dress me?" Even Aunt Zhao's cheap billet can go back to the ancestral house to worship, and leave me here, when I am not even as good as an aunt! ”

As she spoke, she grabbed the few hairpins she had just put on and smashed them on the mahogany makeup table.

"Isn't it just that you have some rashes on your face? The living care, but the dead don't! Wouldn't it be enough to put a simple bun on me and put on a hat to cover it? ”

Xixiang was still very embarrassed, because the old lady above specially ordered. And the second wife looks like this, and it's really inappropriate to go out.

But after hearing about the second wife's method, Xixiang was also happy, nodded and went to get the hat.

The second wife got close to the Linghua bronze mirror to take a closer look at the rash on her face, although the rash had faded a lot after taking the medicine, but her whole face was surprisingly ugly, as if she had aged several years overnight......

She was taken aback by her sudden idea, and hurriedly called the pearl and said, "Hurry up and apply powder, and apply more alabaster cream!" ”

Her hands clenched, trembling slightly. She won't get old, this must be an illusion! It's all fake!

Pearl hurriedly opened the fat powder box. But Rao was smeared with a lot of jade cream, but he couldn't cover the panic and haggard on the second wife's face.

Just when the people of Jiangfu came out of the corner gate and were about to get into the carriage, the second wife followed with anxious small steps.

"Mother, how can you leave your daughter-in-law behind? You are happy, and the ancestors are not happy! When the time comes, the ancestor will be displeased, and maybe the second room will be angry together, and the daughter-in-law can't afford that big sin......"

She was held by the pearl and almost trotted to the old lady.

The old lady heard the voice of the second wife, and subconsciously took half a step back. But seeing that the second lady was sincere, she was a little choked up when she spoke, and now that the departure was imminent, it was inconvenient for the old lady to drive the second lady back who had already been prepared, and after thinking about it, she should come down.

The second lady wept with joy and thanked the old lady.

Su Xue glanced at the second wife lightly, although she couldn't see her face, she could find that she was floating and unstable when she walked.

The second wife took the quinoa that clashes with ginseng, although it has some curative effect on the red rash on the face, but on the other hand, it can also greatly damage the vitality and damage its roots.

After taking such a medicine, she can still toss and rush over, and the second wife is also quite ruthless.

Because the wife and the concubines were sitting in the same carriage, after getting on the car and sitting down, the eldest lady glanced at the second wife with a slight interest, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, I heard yesterday that you were unwell, but you can make me anxious!" I thought I'd come over to see you after the family dinner, but I was busy leaving the house today, and there were a lot of things over there, so I didn't care about it. Now it seems that it has gotten much better, it's really Amitabha! ”

The second wife gave the eldest lady a blank look, she was sinned, and the eldest lady was naturally Amitabha.

Hengzhi is now covered by a hat, and she is not afraid of being seen with a cruel face, but her mouth is still kind, and she replied: "I am tired of my sister-in-law, I am much better." I also thought that there were many trivial things that had to be handled by the daughter-in-law before the ancestor worship, and if I didn't get better quickly, wouldn't I be tired of my sister-in-law? ”

The eldest lady covered her mouth and laughed twice, and said, "The second aunt is really worried!" You also know that my temperament is not as lenient as my second aunt, and if I keep my duty, I will never tire myself. What's more, even if there is no second aunt, isn't there still an Aunt Zhao? ”

The second wife gritted her teeth in anger and snorted: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense, when will the master's affairs be done by the slave?" Even if I am sick today and can't go to the ancestral house, Aunt Zhao won't dare to cross her identity! ”

"Oh, is that so?" The eldest lady smiled meaningfully, looked the second wife up and down, and sneered, "But isn't the second aunt also anxious and scared?" Otherwise, why don't you stay in the house for a few more days, knowing that your body will be unbearable, why do you desperately toss and get out of bed? ”

The second wife's mind was said, and she was even more embarrassed, gritted her teeth and retorted: "I don't understand what sister-in-law says, if I am afraid of Aunt Zhao, then sister-in-law is not even more afraid of Aunt Xiao?" Anyway, the only male in the big house was born by Aunt Xiao, so the sister-in-law should be more vigilant, right? ”

"You!"

The eldest lady pointed at the second lady angrily, almost scolding.

Not having a son is the biggest pain point for the eldest wife, and she can't wait to slap the second wife right now, until she can't speak.

But in the end, he couldn't help it, and only smiled and said: "The second aunt's body and bones can really withstand the toss, and she can joke with me as soon as she gets out of bed, it seems that she is all right." ”

The second wife smiled secretly, turned her face away, and looked too lazy to pay attention to you.

Su Xue rolled her eyes, and suddenly said, "Doctor Zhang's medical skills are excellent, and it's not surprising that my mother is getting better so quickly." Come to think of it, those rashes must have faded a lot, right? ”

As she spoke, she looked at the second lady with concern, who was tightly covered by the hood.

Su Xue originally just wanted to sit quietly and watch the two women compete with each other sentence by sentence, but seeing that the fire was getting smaller, she coldly stepped forward and poured a handful of oil.

When Su Xue asked like this, the second wife was stunned, and said with a dry smile: "It's a lot lighter, but if it's all right, it will take a few days." ”

"It's a lot lighter, huh? That dare to be kind, why don't the second aunt take off the hat and show the sister-in-law? ”

Sure enough, if the slightest thread is exposed, the eldest lady will be caught. (To be continued......)
