The two of them passed the courtyard of Mrs. Ji, and heard the voice of the eldest lady Liu from a distance in the house.

Jiang and Ji Xiaojia both frowned at the same time, and when the red apricot in the courtyard saw the two of them, she hurriedly greeted them, bowed down and whispered, "The third lady and the fourth girl came to see the old lady, the eldest lady and several sisters are inside." ”

Jiang Shi replied with a smile, "Yes, Lao Hongxing will inform me for me." ”

Hongxing's eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice and whispered, "The third lady can be careful when she speaks, just now the old lady heard the eldest lady say that the eldest lady beat someone outside again, and the old lady became angry." ”

Jiang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then whispered, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Hong Xing smiled, and went to the gate of the main courtyard to report, "Old lady, the third lady and the fourth girl have come to see you." ”

"Let them in. ”

Jiang took Ji Xiaojia to the main courtyard and whispered to the girl on the side, "Close your mouth tightly for a while, don't talk nonsense." ”

When I entered the main hall, I saw Mrs. Ji sitting on the soft collapse in the first place, and next to her sat a well-behaved little girl in her teens, with a pair of bright eyes and an innocent smile on her face, looking at the door.

At the bottom left of the old lady sat a noble lady about forty years old, with a dignified and generous smile on her face, and behind her stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with a delicate appearance, a shy and timid appearance, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.

However, Jiang and Ji Xiaojia deeply understood in their hearts that this was all appearance, and what these people were like would only be clearer after more than a year of getting along.

"Mother (grandmother) is fine. The two men entered the main hall and bowed.

The old lady Ji in the first place has not changed much in the past two years, but the dress on her body is more wealthy, looking at the mother and daughter in the main hall, she answered lukewarmly, "Okay, sit down." ”

Jiang Shi sat down on the other side, Ji Xiaojia obediently stood behind Jiang Shi, and heard Liu Shi on the other side say with a smile, "The third brother and sister came here at this time, but did you hear about Huan'er?"

Jiang's eyes flashed, and he responded with a smile, "What's the matter with Huan'er? Isn't Huan'er in Jizhou?"

"The third brother and sister are open-minded and never take these things to heart, but they have less troubles. Liu had just the right smile on his face, as if he was joking with Jiang, and said casually.

However, when I heard it in the ears of Mrs. Ji, it was that the Jiang family didn't take the Ji family to heart, and she didn't care about the affairs of the family at all.

When Jiang heard Liu say this, he knew that Liu was deliberately saying it to the old lady, and sure enough, the old lady looked at her with a deep dissatisfaction in her eyes, and said in a stern tone, "I don't care about things at home, and I don't know what you're busy with all day long." ”

Hearing Mrs. Ji say this, the Jiang family was also angry in her heart, and she felt that this mother-in-law was getting older and more confused, and she was a good Zhenguo Mansion, but she let the eldest brother of the concubine and Ji Cheng'an, who was not a weapon, control it, and the back house was actually handed over to this sister-in-law Liu.

This eldest brother's family, on the surface, all of them look like good people, but after a long time, they know that this family is actually a two-sided and three-knife hob meat, one in front of the other and one behind the back, very insidious and cunning.

The Jiang family saw it clearly, but the old lady Ji was getting older and more confused, and she felt that this family was very good, although she was a concubine, she was close and respectful to her.

Especially the eldest Ji Yihong, who became a pillar of the DPRK when he returned to Beijing, not only earned face for the Ji family, but also treated her as a grandmother even more respectfully.

The third Mrs. Ji Chengsheng is the biological son of Mrs. Ji, even if he is only taking care of the Ji family's business now, but in the end, it is biological, although Mrs. Ji is a little dissatisfied with the third son who abandoned his career and became a businessman, it is impossible to dislike his biological son.

But the dissatisfaction in my heart was all transferred to the third wife and daughter Jiang and others, coupled with the scheming Liu's various provocations openly and secretly, Mrs. Ji became more and more unwilling to see Jiang's mother and daughter.

Jiang Shi saw all this in his eyes, of course, he was more and more dissatisfied with this confused mother-in-law, but the word filial piety was pressed on her head, even if she was dissatisfied, she could only endure it, and every time she was inexplicably reprimanded by Liu's provocation, she obediently knew her mistakes.

However, this time Jiang Shi did not make a sound, Old Madam Ji saw that Jiang Shi lowered her head and was silent, and felt that the three daughters-in-law did not look at her in their eyes, so she scolded coldly, "What about talking to you?

Jiang finally raised his head, looked at Liu on the opposite side, and asked, "Sister-in-law said about Huan'er, I don't know what happened to Huan'er?"

Liu pretended to sigh sadly and replied, "I heard that Huan'er beat someone in the restaurant again, and it has spread all over the streets and alleys outside. ”

Jiang Shi replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law has always taken a fancy to the reputation of the Ji family, how can she listen to the random arrangement of Ruhuan outside? Mother, don't you know what kind of character Ruhuan has? Even if she really did it, there was a reason. ”

Liu Shi looked at Mrs. Ji and seemed to be showing signs of wavering, and hurriedly answered, "I'm also worried about Huan'er, after all, it's a girl, this flamboyant and domineering reputation spreads, it's not easy to find her in-laws." ”

Jiang Shi looked at Liu aggressively, "What do you mean by this, sister-in-law? Is this a curse that we Huan'er can't get married? Our Huan'er is the current Fengyang County Lord who His Majesty has personally proclaimed the title, and I, the only eldest lady in the Zhenguo Mansion, can I still find my mother-in-law?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Old Madam Ji's expression changed, but this time she aimed the reprimand at Liu, "If you can't speak, don't speak." ”

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Liu's eyes, and he quickly stood up with a guilty face, and bowed to Old Madam Ji and said, "What my mother taught me is that my daughter-in-law knows her mistakes. ”

Seeing that the Liu family was so knowledgeable, Mrs. Ji didn't say anything more, and the Jiang family took the opportunity to speak, "Mother, since Huan'er is back, the daughter-in-law wants to take the children to greet her, but she is the Fengyang County Lord personally appointed by His Majesty, so we can't slack off." ”

Old Madam Ji nodded, "That girl is foolish, let's not lose the rules, let's go and greet her." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, and Jiang took Ji Xiaojia to get up and salute and left.

Old Madam Ji saw that Liu hadn't moved yet, so she frowned slightly, "What are you still doing?" ”

Liu couldn't, so he had to get up and retire with his two daughters.

When she went out, Ji Lili came to her mother's side and whispered unwillingly, "Mother, do we really want to go out to meet that shrew? ”

Liu glared at Ji Lili and scolded coldly, "Shut up, how did I teach you?"

That Ji Tingting also changed her previous shy and timid appearance at this time, glanced at her sister with disgust, and whispered, "You can grow a little longer." ”

Immediately, Ji Tingting opened her mouth and said to the Liu family, "Mother, since we are going to welcome the county lord of Fengyang, we can't just go a few of us, and other female relatives in the house should also be called." ”

Liu's eyes lit up, and he answered, "Yes, it's still Sister Ting's thoughtfulness." ”
