At this time, a bowl of hot gruel had been delivered, Qingyi Bihe helped Ruyao to feed her carefully, and Mrs. Wugu on the side pointed and ordered: "Don't feed it too fast, just half a bowl - her stomach is empty and her body is empty, and she can't eat more." ”

As the hot porridge was poured down, a thin layer of blood appeared on Ruyao's face, and the person also woke up faintly.

The fifth aunt stepped forward and hugged her, and checked her pulse and breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not a big deal, this is hungry, just drink a bowl of porridge and eat some soft steamed buns." ”

This is a comfort, it is simply adding fuel to the fire - the dignified Miss Houfu, it was difficult to drink a bowl of porridge before, Mrs. Tai's gaze shot towards the Wang family as if it had been quenched with poison, and the latter was pale but quiet, and still did not lose his coolness.

Before, I didn't dare to move the patient, but now the maids have already lifted Ruyao to the low couch and let her lie down, Mrs. Tai looked at her lovingly, and sighed: "It's hard for this child, go and send my bird's nest porridge to Sister Yao, and one light a day in the future until she recovers." ”

Wang stood behind the chaotic crowd, his face pale, and after Yao's mother handed over the porridge bowl, the whole person stood next to her breathlessly, but she stood on tiptoe when she saw this situation, pulled down her sleeve, and whispered something in her ear.

The gloom on Wang's face gradually dissipated, and a smile actually appeared between his eyebrows - the coldness and smugness that flashed at that moment startled the fifth aunt who was sitting on the side watching the play.

She took a step forward, stopped Mrs. Tai with a smile and said, "Mother, I think you should let Sister Yao go back to rest, there is no need for bird's nest porridge or anything like that, if you don't fold her blessings, you just need to watch her three meals in prison." ”

"Nonsense! You are so cruel, so unkind to your niece - what kind of sin have I done, to cultivate such a daughter-in-law! ”

Mrs. Tai threw down her sleeves and coughed in pain.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang was still not afraid. kneeling down and pleading: "Mother, my daughter-in-law is really dead for making you angry, but I really don't dare to accept this unkind name - I, I am really innocent!" ”

When she said this, she also cried excitedly, and Mother Yao on the side also knelt down, and immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and hissed: "Mrs. Tai, you are a good person, don't wronged my wife." She is a bodhisattva's heart, and she always takes out a piece of heart and treats others with kindness......"

She walked a few steps forward to Mrs. Tai, and cried: "The old slave went to the kitchen just now, and he has asked all the cooks and servants there, and they are all sent to them on time, and the seven plates and eight plates are not the same every day, where can it be like what they say!" ”

Bihe on the side couldn't bear it anymore and said sharply: "The whole kitchen listens to the second lady and you, even if you ask them to say that the salt is sweet, they will agree in unison." This kind of whisker licking goods, nothing can be trusted! ”

She was about to scold again, but Qingyi on the side grabbed her sleeve.

I saw that Mrs. Tai's face was gloomy and she couldn't see any joy or anger, but said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect it." This family is so unruly. ”

These words are not only scolding Yao's mother but also scolding Bihe, but after a careful taste, it seems to be saying that Mrs. Wang covers the sky with one hand, and the whole kitchen is obedient to her.

Madame Wang knelt on the ground with a wry smile on her face. laughed at herself: "It seems that my black-hearted aunt is done!" ”

Rucan on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and was about to rush over with a cry. But when I saw a flash of shadow in front of me, it turned out to be Ruzhen who lifted her skirt and walked two steps, knelt beside her mother-in-law, and said to Mrs. Tai very resolutely: "Grandmother Mingjian, mother is definitely not such a vicious person!" If you want to punish your mother, you will take her place! ”

"You ......"

Mrs. Tai originally thought that Ruzhen was just affectionate to the Wang family, and the concubine and her mother had always had a knot in their hearts, and she couldn't help but see her rushing out to intercede, and she didn't know how to rebuke her for a while.

"Ruzhen, my good boy!"

Wang hugged Ruzhen, mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, the whole scene was like Mrs. Tai bullying her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Ruzhen cried a few times, gently brushed up the scattered sideburns for the Wang family, and said to Mrs. Tai: "The granddaughter dares to suggest - since the two sides have different words, then ask everyone in Sister Ruyao's room to come out and confront each other - it can't be fake, it can't be fake!" ”

Mrs. Tai pondered for a moment and agreed, when the matter came to this situation, she was also blush, and couldn't help glancing at the culprit Mrs. Wugu with the light of her eyes, revealing a trace of annoyance.

Soon, the people in Ruyao's courtyard arrived, and Mrs. Tai simply asked people to move the chairs to the courtyard to try this mysterious case.

A few of them came up in a row to talk about how bad the food was, and they were excited and complained, which really didn't look like they were doing anything fake. In the face of everyone's accusations, Wang's expression was calm and unmoved, and even Yao's mother was not impatient at all.

Next is a little maid, stupid and stupid, usually takes care of the flowers and trees behind the house, she hesitated for a long time, and actually held back a sentence, "Actually, there are delicious things, but they are buried in the flower garden by the sisters." ”

Ruyao was lying on the couch, hearing this sentence through the curtain, a cold light flashed in her eyes, but Qingyi Bihe and the others were shocked, and scolded loudly: "You are talking nonsense! ”

Before the words fell, he was dragged down by the mother-in-law beside Mrs. Tai, and stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, and could only whine and couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Tai looked at all this coldly, sat in the wicker chair, and her posture was calm and elegant, "You speak slowly, don't be afraid, and don't lie—if there is a lie, you should know that the traitor is framed in half." ”

The little maid was so frightened that she finally talked about it, she said that Ruyao and the others forced everyone to starve for several days, and every time they sent delicacies, they buried them in the flower garden.

"The orders of the two sisters above, which of us dares not to obey!"

She pointed at Qingyi Bihe with a crying voice, and the latter's face was red but unable to speak. When the people in Tang Le Yuan heard that the little maid was lying, they all looked at each other angrily, but they didn't dare to make any more noise in front of Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai waved her hand, and immediately someone went to dig the flower garden behind the Tang Le Yuan.

Ruyao lay flat and did not move, but her heart was fluctuating - the game in front of her was originally a good match between her and the two maids. Due to the difficulties in the kitchen, everyone could only eat half full, and no one noticed a slight reduction, but she was deliberately hungry and did not eat a grain of rice, just waiting for this shocking fainting in front of Mrs. Tai!

She had long known that today's visitor was the fifth aunt - this was what Qingyi had heard about for five taels of silver from the little maid in charge of the carriage and horses in the front yard. And the fifth aunt herself is a little skilled in medicine, and she doesn't deal with Mrs. Tai and the Wang family, and her temperament is extreme and impatient, so she will definitely tell the truth noisily and embarrass these two people!
