Chapter 50: Becoming an Aunt's Wife
The eldest lady had already run out of the house, dressed only in a single coat and with a stick in her hand, and was beating the people who came to dissuade her.
Song Lingyue was afraid that she would hurt others, so she asked everyone to step back, cautiously leaned over, her tone became as gentle as possible, and dissuaded: "Big lady, I'm Xiaoyue, you put down the stick first, can you tell me anything?" ”
The eldest lady stared at her for a while, Song Lingyue thought she recognized her, stretched out her hand and stepped forward, wanting to snatch the stick in her hand, but the eldest lady suddenly screamed and waved her hand at Song Lingyue and hit Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue couldn't dodge, she was hit by her waist with a stick, and she was hitting the injured ribs, she screamed in pain, squatted on the ground with her waist covered, and kept booing in her mouth.
The eldest lady injured Song Lingyue, and gradually came to her senses, seeing her squatting on the ground with a painful face, like a child who had made a mistake, she threw the stick in her hand in horror, took two steps back, and shouted incoherently: "I didn't mean it, Xiaoyue, I really didn't mean it." ”
Song Lingyue saw that she had finally come to her senses, and she didn't care if it hurt or not, she comforted her first, and then said, if she didn't want to go, she couldn't go, she covered her waist with one hand, stretched out a smile with the other, barely squeezed out a smile, and whispered: "Big lady, I'm fine, come, look at me, I don't hurt at all." ”
The eldest lady hesitated, slowly stepped forward, and held Song Lingyue's hand.
Song Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with her hands, wrapped her arms around her, and whispered softly in her ear: "Big lady, it's still a little cold outside, can you go in with me?" ”
The eldest lady nodded very meekly, Song Lingyue grabbed her arm, turned her head to look at the old lady, and said as if begging: "Old lady, I will send the eldest lady back and leave, I will not delay things." ”
The old lady also thought it was incredible, usually the daughter-in-law went crazy, several people couldn't coax her, even Xia Yeqing couldn't, before the family said that Song Lingyue could coax her, he didn't believe it, but when he saw it today, it was really a little strange.
Doubts are doubts, it is a good thing that she can coax her, and the provincial trouble is jumping again, and with a sigh, Song Lingyue was allowed to send her back to the room.
The old lady also heard the news of her daughter-in-law's illness, and hurriedly went out, Xia Ke had already helped the old lady back, she greeted her, and asked worriedly, "How is it?" Did you hurt someone again today? ”
The old lady sighed, walked into the house with a cane, and said angrily: "It's beating people again, the one who hit the Song family, but fortunately, she persuaded her and has already returned to the room, hey!" This month, when there is no peace, it is really a sin! ”
The old lady also followed behind and sighed, Xia Ke helped the two of them to sit down separately, she couldn't help but interject at this time, "Grandfather, grandmother, are you strange, why is the eldest lady so obedient in front of this Song Lingyue?" Could it be that she used some strange method to confuse the eldest lady's mind? ”
The old lady and the old lady glanced at each other, and this sentence reminded them that since Song Lingyue could coax her daughter-in-law, why not leave her to take care of it! Let her take care of her, it will be much more convenient, and the Xia family will be able to live in peace.
Before the old lady could speak, the old lady had already guessed her thoughts, nodded approvingly, and said: "Since it is not the best policy to let her out, she is still a little useful, if she can't do it, she can leave her behind, and she can also share the worries of Yeqing, what do you say?" ”
"Well, that's fine, but it's not appropriate to let her stay and take care of her like this, and it's inevitable to gossip outside, find some excuse, and keep other people's mouths shut."
Xia Ke listened to what they meant, obviously didn't intend to let Song Lingyue go, he was a little anxious for a while, went around to the old lady's side, and began to dissuade, "Grandmother, you must not leave her, she is not ambitious, and she also seduces Brother Qing, if it takes a long time, then it will be okay." ”
It's okay if she didn't say it, but this remark reminded the old lady, the old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help clapping her hands, and said to the old lady: "Master, I have an idea, since Yeqing also has thoughts about her, it is better to let her be an aunt and wife for Yeqing, this girl is ugly, but she can endure hardships, what do you think?" ”
The old lady stretched out his hand and touched his beard, and said leisurely: "This is also a way, being an aunt's wife can also cut off her ambitions, and she is not good-looking, so as not to confuse Yeqing's mind, so it's good." ”
Xia Ke was in a hurry, why did she say a few bad words, and the old lady made up her mind to let Song Lingyue be her aunt's wife! Although she is her aunt's wife, she is also her sister-in-law on her face, which is not good.
"Grandfather, you forgot, she is the one who poisoned my sister-in-law, how can such a person stay? Are you confused? In a hurry, he didn't choose to speak, and he realized that it was too late.
The old lady glanced at her dissatisfiedly, "What do you know as a child?" Your sister-in-law has already gone, and now you have to take care of the living people and the overall situation, this matter is so decided, I can't help you! ”
Xia Ke stomped his feet angrily, and the old lady made up his mind, that is, ten cows couldn't be pulled back, and he only hated that she said the wrong thing, and he actually fulfilled Song Lingyue by mistake, which is really damned.
The old lady saw that she was angry, patted her lightly, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, and said meaningfully: "What are you anxious about, it's just an aunt's wife, that's a concubine, just a famous subordinate, you are the eldest lady of the Xia family, how was it in the past, how will it be in the future, are you afraid that she will not succeed?" ”
Xia Ke is a smart person, the meaning of the old lady's words is obvious, it is clearly towards her, how could she not understand, a smile appeared on her face again, she went to the old lady and rubbed it, and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I know that you love me the most, I will listen to your orders, and my aunt will be my aunt, as long as Brother Qing is willing." ”
The old lady stroked her cheek with relief, "You are the most well-behaved!" "Sure enough, it's still the granddaughter's intimacy.
Song Lingyue coaxed the eldest lady to come out, but Chun Tao told her that she didn't have to go, and asked her to go back to the room and wait, the old lady had other arrangements.
Song Lingyue privately felt that there was no good thing, and the opportunity to be free that was easily obtained must not be let go easily, and it was a big deal to ask for the hairpin in the future, and she would run away with the burden.
Before he ran to the door, a few errands surrounded him, as if he had already prepared, holding a rope in his hand, he couldn't help but say, tied up Song Lingyue's five flowers, dragged him back to the east courtyard, and locked him in the room.
Song Lingyue knocked on the door for a long time, her waist hurt more and more, and she didn't eat water and rice for a long time, and she couldn't support it weakly, so she curled up by the door and was confused.
Xia Ye came home after dark, and as soon as he entered the door, he was called into the main hall by the old lady, and Adjutant Zhang was still waiting for him outside, and after a while, he heard Xia Yeqing's irritable roar from inside.
"Chongxi? Who made her happy? Chong Xi Lianyi can come back to life, will my mother's illness be cured? ”
The old lady persuaded in a nonchalant tone, "Yeqing, although your mother's illness can't be cured, but it is true that she has eased a lot, today is what I saw with my own eyes, with her, I can also share your worries, you have to consider the overall situation." ”
Xia Yeqing was furious, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, turned around, shook his hand again, and said angrily: "Grandfather, I have always respected you, and I have always done what you wanted, but I can't accept this kind of thing." ”
The old lady was not annoyed, smacked her lips, and said with a pleasant face: "I know, you have stayed in the ocean, pay attention to those who are in love, and you were reluctant to let you marry Lianyi at the beginning, but I heard that you still like this of the Song family in private, isn't it just right for you to be your aunt's wife?" ”
Xia Yeqing gritted her teeth, the muscles on the side of her face twitched a few times, and her handsome face had a slightly hideous expression, "These are two different things, I just pity her, and I don't want to marry her." ”
The old lady saw that he didn't eat oil and salt for a long time, and suddenly sank his face, and said in a strong tone: "This matter is so decided, either you marry her as your aunt and wife, let her take care of your mother, or sweep her out of the house, whether she lives or dies depends on her own creation, how to decide, you choose, hum!" ”
After that, he shook off the sleeves of his robe and walked into the room with a cane, he had absolute confidence that he could make Xia Yeqing succumb, Xia Yeqing's mind was stronger than ordinary people, and he was indeed impeccable, but there was only one thing that was his weakness, that is, he paid great attention to filial piety, and he would definitely compromise for the sake of his mother.
Xia Yeqing stood in the hall for a long time, his chest rose and fell for a while, and gradually calmed down, his mother's illness was naturally important, Song Lingyue was important to his mother, he knew better than anyone else, it seemed that the old lady had calculated that he would agree, so he didn't give him room to discuss at all.
Raised his foot and kicked heavily on the coffee table of the mahogany root carving, dozens of kilograms of root carving, he was kicked and flipped over, the carvings on his head were knocked off, a cold sigh came out of his nose, and he turned around and walked out of the main hall, but it was an aunt's wife, and marrying her couldn't change anything, so he should pity her.
