The news of Mrs. Anningbo's death soon spread to the fifth room.

The fifth lady, An Shicheng, asked with trepidation, "Although the old lady has nightmares these days and is not in good spirits, she has been using tonic to raise her, how can she say that it is gone?" ”

She turned her head to look at Cui Chengkai on the sickbed, "Will it be ...... Grandma Jiu, do you think our master will also ......?"

When people are vulnerable and helpless, they are always prone to associate bad things.

An Shi felt that even a person like Mrs. An Ningbo who had no major problems could die suddenly, how could Cui Chengkai, a person who was sentenced to death by the imperial doctor, survive?

She panicked and frightened for a moment, only thinking that maybe this was fate.

Cui Ling frowned when she heard this, "Mother, don't think about it, my father will definitely be safe and sound if he is diagnosed and treated by Imperial Doctor Tang." ”

She said to a grandmother in the fifth room, "Go out and see, what's going on?" ”

Gorou said on the side, "I rang the bell, I think the old lady has really passed away, although the father-in-law is in a special situation, but if the fifth room doesn't go out to see, I'm afraid it will be true." ”

He thought for a moment, "Ling'er, I'll go over and have a look!" ”

Cui Chengkai can't break people here, his younger brothers and sisters are too young to take care of things, and there are no people in the fifth room, thinking about it, he can only let his son-in-law come forward.

Cui Ling pondered for a moment, "It's okay, if there is any news, send someone to come and tell me as soon as possible." ”

Seeing this, An Shi couldn't help but shed tears.

This time, she was sincerely grateful to Cui Ling, "Aunt Jiu, if it weren't for you." I really don't know what to do. Thank you very much. Thank you so much! ”

Because Imperial Doctor Tang said that whether Cui Chengkai's condition can improve depends on tonight, if he can survive and stop vomiting blood, this can be regarded as stopping the bleeding and getting through the catastrophe.

Therefore, Cui Ling was not at ease and had to keep vigil here.

Gorou naturally did not disobey her filial piety, and after personally sending the children home, he came back to accompany her.

Thankfully, he turned around. encountered such a thing as the death of Mrs. An Ningbo, so that many people were able to run errands and come forward.

An used to think that Cui Ling, the daughter of the Yuan match, as long as she didn't treat her harshly, maintained a polite relationship, and walked around like a relative, so she never planned to deliver her sincerity.

That's what she's always done.

She is definitely an impeccable stepmother, whether it is living expenses or money and clothes, she will never deduct shortages, and sometimes she would rather have less of herself. can't treat Cui Ling badly.

But sincerity, no.

In addition to a responsibility. It's more about doing things on the face, not letting others criticize her, not making Cui Chengkai cold, and not making enemies with Yuan's daughter.

That's all she had to think about.

But at this moment, Ann really felt the meaning of family.

Even if Cui Ling is not a child who came out of her womb, they are all people from the fifth room, and when it comes to the critical moment, only this child can stand up and support her!

Thinking like this, she couldn't help frowning, "Grandma Jiu, you say, will they blame us for the old lady's death?" ”

Cui Ling groaned, feeling that what An Shi thought was not unreasonable.

She didn't know what the real cause of Mrs. Anningbo's death was, but she was sure that it must have nothing to do with Wufang.

What about the person who could give up even the life of her own son, she didn't think that Mrs. Anning Bo was a fragile person, and she would be angry with Gorou's few tables of wine.

But people's hearts are unpredictable, those who are really responsible for Mrs. Anningbo's death, if they use this as an excuse to accuse Gorou of making the old lady angry to death at these tables, even if there are always people who can distinguish between right and wrong, but there are also those who listen to the wind and the rain.

Gorou and her will be at a loss for words.

Cui Ling's eyes were slightly downcast, and he called Mu Hibiscus and said, "Go and inquire about how the old lady died, even if the people in her yard refuse to tell the truth, there are always others who have heard something, make more silver, and inquire about it." ”

She thought for a moment and said, "By the way, I'll send someone to see the situation with Mrs. Shizi." ”

After a long time, Hibiscus finally returned.

She lowered her voice and said, "The people in the old lady's yard really refuse to tell the truth, but I still inquired about something different from Aunt Lin, who is in charge of sprinkling and cleaning." ”

Cui Ling hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

"It seems that there was a quarrel in the house before the old lady died, and there was a crackling sound of falling things, so much movement, and several times." ”

She patted her chest stupidly, "Later, the uncle came out of the old lady's house angrily, and it didn't take long for the old lady to come out and say that she was looking for Mrs. Shizi to ask for a doctor, and it took a long time to come back, but before the doctor arrived, a cry sounded in the house, saying that the old lady was gone." ”

Cui Ling frowned, "Is it grandfather?" ”

The person who can have a fierce conflict and quarrel with Mrs. An Ningbo, there is no one else in the whole mansion except An Ningbo, is it an accident that happened during the quarrel?

She thought for a moment with a solemn face, "What about Mrs. Shizi, what's the movement?" ”

Mu Hibiscus's eyes moved, and she said mysteriously, "The people in Mrs. Shizi's courtyard said that she went back to her parents' house at noon and rested there tonight, but Aunt Lin, who was sprinkling and sweeping, said that she still saw Mrs. Shizi in the evening." ”

She paused, "So, I begged someone else to inquire, and it turned out that Mrs. Shizi did go out, not at noon, but at night." ”

Cui Ling thought about it carefully and felt that the general logic had been straightened out.

This should be because my grandfather felt that the banquet that Gorou had set up was too embarrassing, so he took this and said Mrs. Anningbo, and then the old lady quarreled with her grandfather, causing some old diseases, right?

Mrs. Zhao was afraid of being affected, so she pretended to go back to her parents' house and didn't know about these things.

Her face was cold, and her eyes were cold, "In order to prevent Mrs. Shizi from beating them up, Hibiscus, you go out and talk to a few broken mothers-in-law about Mrs. Shizi's lying, don't be afraid of whatever, just be afraid of 10,000." ”

The water in An Ningbo's Mansion was too deep, if it weren't for the fact that there were still people here who she couldn't let go, Cui Ling would not have come.

This time, Mrs. An Ningbo's death, no matter what the real reason is, but there are always Gorou's tables in front of the table, and it is not easy to withdraw, and when the time comes, the family ethics will be pressed, even if it can be explained clearly, it will be troublesome to die.

Besides, Gorou was also helpless, she didn't want him to be infamous and burdened because of this.

Mu Hibiscus said yes and hurriedly went out, she grew up in Anningbo Mansion since she was a child, although she married Cui Ling, but there are still a little connections in the house, plus money can be channeled, she is generous with hands and feet, and she rewards greatly, and it is easy to do what she wants to do.

Who made the monks of Anning Bofu more fleshy and less meaty, and lived a poor life, and was naturally stingy with his subordinates, and now when he met Mu Hibiscus at first glance, he asked such a thing and said that there was a reward for everything, what else could not be done?

Seeing Cui Ling arranging things in such an orderly manner, An Shi relied on and trusted her even more.

However, Mrs. An Ningbo passed away, and she, as a daughter-in-law, always had to be present, otherwise she would definitely be charged with many unfilial pieties.

Wufang's situation is already so bad, she can't bear a little more bad luck.

Cui Ling stopped her, "Mother's face is not good, she hasn't rested for several nights, and she will definitely not be able to live in peace after this time." ”

She paused, "You are guarding your father here, Imperial Doctor Tang said, the boiled decoction will be fed again every two hours, and no one here is as careful as you, so you stay here and watch your father." ”

An Shi was still hesitating, "But in this case, if your aunts ask, what should I say?" ”

She shook her head vigorously, "Although the old lady treats us badly, she is always a mother, if I stay by your father's side and don't go over, don't say that you have several uncles and aunts, that is, those cousins and cousins who live in our house, which one is easy to get along with?" There must be a lot of gossip, and when the time comes, just spitting on the stars can drown us. ”

An's concerns are not unreasonable, no matter how good Cui Ling is, but she is always a married daughter, and when the matter is decided, she will return to the Yuan family.

But she and her three children have nowhere to go, and they are destined to stay in Anningbo Mansion for the rest of their lives.

Cui Chengkai's current situation, even if he survives by luck, he can no longer be like before, the entire five rooms are extremely vulnerable, and the other rooms regard them as a burden and burden, but they can't get rid of it, so what will happen?

Bullying and abuse, pointing out that it is inevitable for Sang to scold Huai, and what she is most afraid of is the future of several children.

Cui Ling sighed, "In that case, my mother will bring my younger brothers and sisters over, but I won't go, I will guard my father here." ”

Her eyes were awe-inspiring, "Gorou is also there, if someone embarrasses his mother and younger brothers and sisters, you don't have to be polite, just let him come forward, don't be afraid, with me, no one can bully our people in the fifth room!" ”

An Shi was still worried, "Reasoning, you are already married, you don't have to go over to the wake as soon as possible, but everyone in the house knows that you are here, if you don't go, I'm afraid they will arrange you again." ”

She said hesitantly, "You don't know, there were people who arranged that you were an idiot with a problem in your head in the past, I'm afraid that they will talk nonsense, ruin your reputation, and make it difficult for you to do it in your in-law's house." ”

Cui Ling sneered, "Mother doesn't have to worry about me, those people don't care about me, if they knew that I was here a long time ago, then why didn't they say anything before, which is the reason for hospitality?" You can rest assured, they also have their own shortcomings and will not make a fuss about this. ”

Seeing that An was going to say something, she hurriedly pushed the person out, "Mother is going to go quickly, and I will find an excuse to come back later, and my father is still pointing to you here." The younger siblings are still young, and the weather is cold in winter, so don't let them stay for a long time, go back to the house early to rest. (To be continued......)
