The consequences of these two choices were catastrophic, and when Wang heard this, the strength that was barely supporting his knees was finally gone, and the whole person fell backwards under the dizziness!

At the last moment, she saw Ruzhen dodging up and helping her up, stepped forward on her knees, and pleaded with Mrs. Tai: "Grandmother, my mother has repented, but she is too ashamed and can no longer speak, please show mercy and bypass her this time." ”

Her eyes sparkled, and without waiting for Mrs. Tai's answer, she continued: "I am bold enough to say that my mother is the wife of a close minister of the Son of Heaven, my brother Guangsheng is the top of the clouds, and my eldest brother Guangren is about to go to the exam-if something goes wrong in our room at this time, I am afraid that it will also bring the reputation of the mansion." Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Mrs. Tai, you have to think about the fourth uncle who is far away! ”

If Mrs. Qigu is the treasure in the palm of Mrs. Tai's heart, then the fourth old man who is far away with the army is her blood and soul, and all her vicious plans are to leave the best to this biological son.

Mrs. Tai's lips pursed even tighter, and her stern eyes looked at Ruzhen - such an inconspicuous concubine dared to use her Shiro to talk about things!

Ruzhen looked at each other calmly, completely unafraid of the edge in her eyes, smiled slightly, and said in a casual tone: "Father also mentioned the fourth uncle a few days ago, saying that this year's military department evaluation, the list of meritorious soldiers was sent to the front of the emperor, and the fourth uncle of the Holy Wisdom Dao is a brother to his father, and he also praised the successor of our Hou Mansion!" ”

This is a compliment, but also a subtle warning - Shen Yuan, who is in front of the emperor, only needs to say a word or two casually, but he is afraid that Emperor Yongle's impression of the fourth master Shen Xuan will be discounted.

Mrs. Tai's eyes instantly turned into cold anger, and there seemed to be a silent storm brewing in her dark pupils, but Ruzhen lowered her head and silently supported the Wang family.

It seemed that it had been a long time before Mrs. Tai sighed, "It's all a family, why did it become like this?" ”

The tone was sad but a lot softer. She looked around at the empty courtyard and said to the remaining people: "I didn't expect that outsiders couldn't do anything to the Shen family, you tossed it yourself, this is to make the old marquis feel uneasy!" ”

When she said this, she was also sentimental, picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said to Wang: "You even treat a niece and junior so harshly, and I don't dare to let your good daughter-in-law come to serve again, so you can stay in your own courtyard and repent of your sins." ”

Looking at her dead face, Mrs. Tai didn't seem to feel that it was enough. sneered: "Since you are in charge of the family so hard, then I won't bother you, and I will hand over those account keys to me for the time being." ”

This is the meaning of grounding and taking away all power - Wang's body was shocked, and infinite resentment rose in his eyes, but he could only lower his head and slam his head into the dust.

Immediately, a stout mother-in-law beside Mrs. Tai came forward to take the person away, Ruzhen kowtowed smartly on the side, and said respectfully: "Mother is confused for a while, I am willing to go to her hospital to accompany me." ”

"You're filial!"

Mrs. Tai glanced at her coldly.

"I'm going too!"

Rucan was stunned just now. Now he finally reacted, and screamed, "You can't lock up my mother like this, I'm going to wait for my father to come back and make it clear-"

Ruzhen stood up and grabbed her, closing her mouth despite her struggles. "I'll send my second sister back first, and then I'll go to my mother to serve."

After speaking, ignoring Rucan's whining, she left with her maid. The rest of the people also dispersed, leaving only Mrs. Tai squinting at the warm sun hanging high in the treetops, and only snorted coldly for a long time. Flick your sleeves back to the house.

****

In the main room of the Tang Le Yuan, the heat of the tea stove warms the whole room, and the lid of the purple clay pot on top of it emits white mist, revealing the bitterness of the medicinal fragrance.

"Miss, let's drink the medicine first."

Bihe helped Ruyao up, looked at her haggard and pale, skinny face and wrists, and suddenly burst into tears.

Ruyao drank the bird's nest porridge, her spirit recovered a little, and when she saw her tears falling like rain, she couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "It's a golden bean again, it seems that we are going to get rich." ”

A few little maids on the side let out a good-natured laugh, Bihe wiped a handful of tears, and laughed embarrassedly, "Miss bullied me, Sister Qingyi must also hide in the room and shed tears......"

Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, she spit out her fragrant tongue with palpitations, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that there were so many eyes and ears in the second room, and they had been staring at us for a long time, a little maid who was fiddling with the flower garden, and almost pitted our entire Tang Le Yuan!" ”

She said that the little maid hated her teeth and patted her chest in shock, and then she wondered: "Since the little maid is a spy, she must have buried a lot of complete delicacies in that flower garden, why did she dig out such a bag of stinky fish and steamed buns?" ”

"That's going to ask Xiao Gu."

Ruyao sat up, leaned on the pillow behind her back, and drank the decoction with Bihe's hand, the thick brown medicinal juice looked very bitter, but she drank it without changing her face, and said calmly: "Go and invite her to come over, I have something to tell her." ”

Bihe found that the young lady actually used a word of invitation, and her tone was unprecedentedly solemn, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she put away the medicine bowl and went out to call people.

When Xiao Gu entered the door, there was only Ruyao left in the room, she seemed to be a little tired and was closing her eyes to recuperate, she opened her eyes when she heard the footsteps, smiled at her, pointed to the embroidered porcelain stool in front of the bed and said, "Sit down." ”

Xiao Gu sat down calmly, naturally picked up a flat fruit from the tray on the small table, and took out a small silver knife from the drawer, and started to peel the skin of the patient.

Her posture was beautiful and beautiful, her strength was even and consistent, and between the movements of her wrists and five fingers, she saw a silver light flickering, and the apple skin was dragged down like a snakeskin cicada, but there was not the slightest crack.

In the blink of an eye, an apple was peeled, and Xiao Gu cut it into small pieces with a silver knife, soaked it in a small bowl with hot water, and then pricked it with a bamboo skewer when it was hot, and handed it to Ru Yao's mouth.

When she did all this, Ruyao just waited quietly, without the slightest impatience, and when the fruit slice was close, she did not hesitate to bite it and chew it gently.

There was silence in the room, and even the sound of the shell teeth gnawing on the flat fruit was subtle. After a while, I heard Ruyao speak: "What's going on with those leftovers?" ”

"Stolen from the big kitchen."

Xiao Gu seemed to have guessed that she was going to ask this, and replied casually.

In fact, no matter how vicious and snobbish the people in the big kitchen were, they didn't dare to give the stinky ones to the masters to eat, and when the bag was opened, even Ru Yao, who was hiding on the low couch behind the curtain, could smell the strong stench.

Ruyao's eyes flickered, and she stared at Xiao Gu tightly, "When did you find out about all this?" (To be continued......)
