Chapter 1: The Scales of the Heart

Next Chapter

The British Mansion in Beijing has been very busy in the past two months, and finally brought the eldest lady Xianrui, who was fostered in her grandmother's house, back to the house.

At this moment, it was getting late, and on the Arhat bed in the main hall of the back house of the British Mansion, the old lady Zhang was sitting in a long jacket with a rich body, her fingers were plucking a string of jade Buddha beads, and sitting next to her were her two daughters-in-law, the British Duchess's eldest wife Wang and the third wife of the third room, Liu.

Now that it is winter, the charcoal pot in the house is burning, the elderly Mrs. Zhang is half leaning on the pillow, and a brass soup woman is on her knees to warm her hands, and her face is slightly cold to the eldest daughter-in-law next to her, and she reprimands in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, I only ask you, what do you mean by those words in front of the virtuous girl today?" ”

The eldest lady Wang's shoulders shook slightly, and the old lady Zhang still smiled and opened her lips: "I don't understand what the old lady says, isn't the daughter-in-law also thinking about the eldest girl?" The child's grandmother just died, and she is an elder who has been raising her every day since she was a child, and the ethics should be filial piety for three years, and let's say, one big girl is not yet thirteen, three years is not too long, and she can also win a reputation of filial piety for the big girl, which is really beneficial to her and harmless, and the second isβ€”β€”"

"Wang, your abacus is so good!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help frowning, as if she was very angry with this bastard's words, and couldn't help covering her mouth and coughing.

Shen Min, the big girl waiting next to her, hurriedly went over to pat Mrs. Zhang on the back, she was very anxious, and hurriedly poured tea and handed it over, but Mrs. Zhang waved her hand and refused.

Old Mrs. Zhang stabilized her mind, raised her voice slightly, and her face was slightly red and already angry: "You came to beat my virtuous sister's idea, don't think that I don't know what is hidden in your heart!" ”

Seeing this, Shen Min could only stand quietly on the edge of Luohan's bed, silently examining the battle in the room.

The reason is that today everyone happily took the big girl who was fostered in the foreign family back, and everyone was happy to say happy words, but the eldest lady Wang was cold enough to talk about the death of the eldest girl's grandmother, and actually forced the eldest girl to take the initiative to promise to give the dead grandmother three years of filial piety.

According to the proper etiquette, it is the younger generation of the family to keep filial piety to the deceased elders, but it is also an example of filial piety to the grandmother or the rest of the elders for the sake of nurturing.

Although this homecoming eldest girl has no father, no mother and no foundation, she is the eldest granddaughter of the British government.

The Wang family is also a British duchess, and the three rooms of the mansion are not separated at present, but their arms have not been facing out since ancient times, so they naturally have to think more about their daughters.

As a result, it directly touched the scale of Mrs. Zhang's heart.

Wang was taken aback, she couldn't believe that the old lady would look at her face like this, her face turned white with anger, she put the tea cup in her hand to the side, sat up straight, glanced at the old lady Sheng, and said in a flat tone: "The old lady has wronged her daughter-in-law with this, what can I think of being unclean, I have been less concerned about the eldest girl over the years, that time you want to send something, I am not Jinshan Yinshan to send it over!" My love for the big girl is evident! ”

"That's because you want the big girl to live outside in peace! So that your daughter can dominate the only concubine to become famous! In the future, I will find my husband's house! Mrs. Zhang's voice was slow, with a chill.

Wang frowned, stared at Mrs. Zhang, and hurriedly shouted: "What kind of concubine is out of the house, the girls in the family are all the same!" ”
