[Chapter 20: True and Deep Fate]

Ha Deguang reported to Mrs. Tao that when Mrs. Fu asked to see her, Cheng Jingyi was discussing with Mrs. Tao about the banquet to be held in the mansion tomorrow night to entertain the French ambassador and his wife. 8

Mrs. Tao asked, "Did you say anything?" ”

"Not really." Harder replied.

Jingyi picked up the pen and added words to the account book. She concentrated on helping her mother-in-law transcribe these few detailed accounts, but she didn't hear Ha Deguang's reply - the Fu family had also come before, and when she asked to see Fu Lizhen, she couldn't enter the door. It is said to the outside world that the young grandmother is sick and inconvenient to see guests, and it is reasonable to listen to the errand and stop it according to the instructions. Mrs. Fu must have never touched such a nail on the door of Tao's house, so persevering, it seems that she has to say something... Disordered...

"Please let her in." Mrs. Tao said.

"Yes." Harder went with him.

Jing Yi ticked the last tick on the ledger, glanced at it, and showed it to Mrs. Tao. Mrs. Tao took it and closed the account book and asked, "The third lady was at the old lady's place yesterday and praised the old lady's snacks. If you pay us a return visit today, remember to bring some with you. The third lady is indeed very polite, and the dim sum is really unique here. Rail"

Jingyi nodded yes. Yesterday, the flawless couple came to visit, and they only stayed for half a day, but they even won the thoughts of the Tao family. Especially the old lady, she likes to be flawless. Flawless revealed that the ambassador's wife likes to watch plays very much and is an expert. The Tao family just invited a famous actor to sing in the hall for the old lady's birthday, and after a few days, the original team was still invited to sing again.

Mrs. Tao consulted with Jingyi in the same way, and Jingyi agreed in the same way.

"Old Seven went out early in the morning?" Mrs. Tao asked.

"Yes." Jingyi replied.

She hadn't gotten up early in the morning, and he was gone. He was going to accompany his father to talk to the ambassador, and the schedule should be full...... In this way, there will be fewer opportunities for her to meet him today.

She thought and bowed her head.

The curls of hair in her ears drooped down, and she pulled them behind her ears.

When I went back last night, I asked Qiu Wei to close the door early. The unicorn was still housed in their room as she wished. He went back late, but he still went into the room to see Qilin'er, and then went downstairs to sleep in the room. She and Qiu Wei guarded Qilin'er and didn't close their eyes almost all night...... When he fell asleep beside Qilin'er, the sky was already dark. Dimly, she heard him speak, close at hand, maybe by the bed, but she didn't open her eyes......

"How is Lin'er today?" Mrs. Tao asked again. 8

Jing Yi's expression was a little strange, and she glanced at her carefully.

"I got up early and the fever went away, but I didn't have a good spirit." Jing Yi hurriedly replied.

Mrs. Tao nodded and said, "Raise it slowly, I'm afraid it won't get better so soon." ”

Jingyi listened and nodded. What Mrs. Tao is worried about is exactly what she is worried about. The unicorn wilted and had no spirit. Seeing him like this, she would rather he cry energetically to see his father......

"Yes. Mother reassured. Jingyi said.

Hearing that Mrs. Fu had arrived, Jing Yi thought that Mrs. Tao would meet Mrs. Fu, and it would be inconvenient for her to be present, so she had to get up. But Mrs. Tao sat her down, and ordered, "Let her in." ”

Jingyi listened to Mrs. Tao's deep voice, using the word "please", but no matter how she heard it, she felt a little awkward. She couldn't help but sit upright. After a while, Mrs. Fu was invited in. Jingyi saw Mrs. Fu and got up.

Mrs. Fu obviously had a displeased look on her face because she had waited outside for so long, but seeing that Jingyi was also here, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and greeted Mrs. Tao as pleasantly as possible, and came to greet her again: "Seventh Young Grandma has always been good?" ”

Jing Yi looked at Mrs. Fu's face with displeasure, and her expression was also a little hasty, and she was even thinner and out of shape. She remembered the sad look she had when she met her in the hospital last time, and at this time she was even more haggard and a little unbearable, and replied softly: "Okay." You'll be worried. Thanks a lot. You may be seated. ”

Mrs. Fu sat down at this time.

Mrs. Tao waited for Ke'er to serve tea, motioned to everyone in front of her to stand down, and said, "Mrs. Fu, please drink tea." I don't know what's the important thing about coming over today? ”

Mrs. Fu didn't drink tea either, so she said, "Madam, I have something at home in the past two days, so I sent someone to the house to see Qilin and his mother." But what I didn't expect was that the people who came couldn't even enter the gate, only saying that they were sick and couldn't see people; When I heard that she was also sick, I was worried, so I shook the phone and asked, but the phone always didn't work. Although I am in a hurry, it happens that my second daughter is also a little bad, and I can not come to visit until today. I also thought that if she was fine, or that she could get Madame's permission to let her go and see her sister-in-law. Madam, what's the illness of the unicorn? Is it badly ill? I heard that she was fine at the old lady's birthday banquet before. Besides, I have always known that the rules of the house are big and the gate is strict, but today I came to visit the patient, and the messenger at the door actually stopped me...... Madam, I hope Madame will tell me, why is this? ”

Jingyi listened, Mrs. Fu's tone was soft, but her words were very organized. It sounds a little angry, but it's just right. In normal times, this would not anger Mrs. Tao, but also express her dissatisfaction. She couldn't help but think of the Fu sisters, no matter what, the Fu sisters' cultivation was excellent. It's probably because of such a mother.

After Mrs. Fu finished speaking, she waited for Mrs. Tao's reply.

Mrs. Tao calmly took the tea bowl in her hand, and seemed to have a slight smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. asked well." Since you are here today, you can save me from talking about it. The eldest and youngest grandmother is indeed sick, and the illness is not light. What is the disease, it is better to ask your wife to ask your daughter by herself. ”

Mrs. Fu was stunned and looked at Mrs. Tao. Mrs. Tao's lukewarm appearance made her face turn red as if she had been humiliated. She wanted to open her mouth to question, but she felt strange, so she had to endure it for a while, and said, "In that case, madam, I will go to visit her." I also bothered Mrs. to let people lead the way. ”

She had already stood up as she spoke, and although she still maintained an elegant demeanor on her body, her face had become the color of pig liver.

"Of course. Come! Mrs. Tao raised her voice slightly, and Ke'er came in in response, "Let Mother Qi send Mrs. Fu to see Grandma Da Shao." ”

Ke'er agreed, and asked Mrs. Fu to go out.

Mrs. Fu was just about to leave, but Mrs. Tao said, "Mrs. Wait a minute." There are a few words to advise you. ”

"Madame, please." Mrs. Fu said forcefully suppressing the fire in her heart.

Mrs. Tao saw that she was in a hurry to see her eldest daughter, but she dragged it out for a while before saying, "The eldest young grandmother's illness, Mrs. asked about it, and naturally knew what to do." At that time, the wife will not look at the Tao family, but also at Lin'er. What should I do, my wife is the most sensible person, and she must know, and I will say it all. ”

Mrs. Fu's hands trembled when she listened, her brows were raised, and she brushed her sleeves away. Silence finally returned to the room. Jingyi sat there, and could almost hear his own breath. She looked at Mrs. Tao, still holding the tea bowl, as if she didn't move, just staring at the bowl of tea in her hand...... I'm afraid that even the number of tea leaves in the tea bowl should be counted. She was just about to say that she should go out to deliver an invitation to the ambassador's wife, when she saw Mrs. Tao suddenly shake her hand, and the tea bowl in her hand flew out. The hot tea spilled on the silk carpet and quickly spilled out.

Jing Yi saw her seizure and hurriedly stood up.

Mrs. Tao pressed her hand on the table, the jade ring on her hand trembled slightly, and the turquoise light trembled, showing that it took her great strength to restrain herself from bursting out of anger.

Jing Yi stood silently.

Mrs. Tao looked at Jingyi and said, "There is nothing wrong with you, don't be afraid." ”

Jing Yi's heart was pounding.

She had never seen her mother-in-law so out of shape...... If she could, her mother-in-law would not only throw the tea bowl on Mrs. Fu.

Mrs. Tao said, "Fortunately, you are here. If you weren't here, I'm afraid this bowl of hot tea would have been spilled in her face. ”

"Mother's health is better, and she is angry." Jingyi said.

"It's almost time, you go. Remember to go early and come back early, I don't think Lin'er can leave you now. Mrs. Tao said.

Jingyi nodded, but did not leave immediately. Knowing that it was time for Mrs. Tao to take medicine, she instructed Ke'er to call someone in and clean up the cups on the ground. The decoction was delivered, and she waited for Mrs. Tao to take the medicine.

Mrs. Tao watched her busy in front of her, thoughtful and meticulous, and couldn't help but say, "Okay...... I don't need you to be so dedicated here. You put more of the thoughts you put on the Venerable Master, and don't always get angry with him because of some trivial things, that's it. Go ahead. ”

Jingyi knew that she was much calmer, so she retreated. She hurried back to the room to see Qilin'er, saw that he was sleeping peacefully, and changed his clothes and went out.

When I went downstairs, I saw Yue'er holding a large handful of gardenias coming in from outside, and when I saw her, I didn't have time to put down the flowers, and I held the flowers by the door and waited to send her out.

Jingyi passed by her, couldn't help but stop and look, and asked, "Why didn't you send flowers in early or late?" ”

The big bunch of gardenias was very fresh and fragrant, and in a moment she felt that her clothes were fragrant.

"I don't know. The gardener just sent it in, and only said it was for the young grandmother. Young grandma, this flower is so fragrant, where can I put it? Yue'er asked.

Jingyi said as she descended the steps, "Take it." Young Master Sun is sick, don't make a taboo with this flower. ”

"What's so taboo about this, it's just a cold...... Gardenias are beautiful, I don't know who is so hearted? Qiu Wei followed Jingyi and whispered.

Jingyi didn't make a sound, and her steps were getting faster and faster......

The car drove out of Taofu, and when she passed the gate, Qiu Wei called the driver to open up more slowly, and asked, "Miss, is that the wife of the Fu family?" ”

Jingyi looked out, and the elegantly dressed lady standing by the carriage at the door was Fu Lizhen's mother.

Before she could say anything, she saw Mrs. Fu fall to the ground.

"Stop!" She commanded
