"Madam, there is news from outside that Master Hou has returned to Beijing." Mama Zhou whispered to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's half-closed eyes opened suddenly, and her eyes were amazingly bright: "Really? ”

Mama Zhou nodded, with a smile on her face: "It should be smooth." Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to Beijing so soon. ”

The eldest lady's face also showed a relaxed expression.

In addition to worrying about her husband's troubles, she is also worried about her brother.

After all, Zhu Heyu is not like Zhao Yuanxun, he is in a false position, and it is okay not to go to the yamen for ten days and half a month. Zhu Heyu has to go to the government every day. He went to Jiangnan this time to take sick leave and go out in disguise.

If this is exposed and impeached, it will affect the future.

Therefore, the eldest lady hopes day and night that things will go smoothly, and the matter of changing the child will be settled as soon as possible, and the brother will take less risks.

Since Master Hou came back so soon, I think things are going well, and my brother can come back soon.

She breathed a long sigh of relief, thought about it with half-squinted eyes, and instructed Mama Zhou: "In this case, let's move over there in the second room." ”

Mama Zhou understood: "Yes." ”

On the other side of the second room, Wei was losing his temper at this time: "What kind of dish is this?" It's either light or salty. Take it back and throw it in the cook's face and tell her to redo it. If you can't do it well, you can sell it directly. ”

Since beating Li Mu's family and escaping, the Wei family has not had a moment of peace, and they always have to provoke and scold people and beat people, and the maids and daughters-in-law in the second room are terrified all day long.

At this time, the second lady was looking for trouble in the kitchen, and the maids who were waiting for them were relieved and responded, "Yes." He quickly and lightly cleaned up the dinner on the table and withdrew.

Wei stroked his chest and closed his eyes.

These days, she always feels restless. Thinking of the possibility that Li Mu's family was arrested by someone to interrogate something, she couldn't calm down.

"How's Mama Li?" She asked.

"I'm already awake, and I'm slowly starting to drink porridge."

Speaking of Mama Li, the maid was very emotional.

There is a rule at the door of the mansion, that is, if the subordinate is seriously ill, he must be moved out of the mansion, so as not to pass the illness to the master, and at the same time to avoid the subordinate dying in the mansion and adding bad luck to the mansion.

Mama Li was carried out of the firewood room, and she had a high fever and became delirious. When Shi Langzhong came to see him, he suggested that the second lady move Mama Li out of the house to recuperate. The second lady refused, insisting on leaving Mama Li behind, even though Mama Li was very sick.

Because of this, she had another quarrel with the old lady and the eldest lady.

Because of Wei's bad temper, she is a difficult master to serve, and the people in the second room are a little dissatisfied with her.

But about Mama Li, everyone sighed in private, saying that although the second lady had a bad temper, her heart was not so hard.

Mama Li has served her all her life, she would rather withstand the pressure of the old lady and the eldest lady, but also leave Mama Li in the house to recuperate, and always stay in front of Mama Li's sickbed and feed her medicine with her own hands. It can be seen that Mama Li is regarded as a relative. Mama Li's hard work in this life is worth it.

Hearing that Mama Li was already sober, Wei's mood suddenly eased a lot.

God knows how scared Mama Li was when she said nonsense, for fear that she would say something terrible, and that she would die. For this, she had to go to the sickbed to serve Mama Li in person, and she had never served her own mother like this.

"I'll go see her." Wei stood up and went to the side room.

Since she knew that Mama Li was talking nonsense, she asked someone to move Mama Li into the main courtyard and place her in the wing room, so that she could protect it and prevent other people from visiting the patient and hearing Mama Li's nonsense.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanliang would not have set foot in the main courtyard if he had something to do. This courtyard is where the Wei family lives alone, and she is also in charge of the second room.

Mama Li was drinking porridge under the service of the little maid, and when she saw Wei coming in, she struggled to get out of bed and salute.

"Lie down quickly, so that you can be sick and sick. When you get well, how much salute should you do? Wei said angrily, a rare kind words.

She asked Mama Li a few words, and learned that she was indeed well, so she got up, said a few more words, and left the room.

"Mama Li, Madame treats you really well." The little maid said enviously.

What happened during her illness, Mama Li had already heard what the little maid said.

She said gratefully, "yes." Madame treats me like this, and I do not hesitate to do anything for Madame's heart. As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, but her eyes were full of coldness.

When she was imprisoned in the firewood room, she actually had a will to die.

She felt that if she died, no matter where Li Mu's family of four was, it would be better, at least she would not be embarrassed and swayed because she was in the hands of the Wei family.

But when she was so sick that she was in a daze, someone whispered in her ear, saying that if she died, there would be no need for her children and grandchildren to exist. The voice was unfamiliar. She was shocked and gritted her teeth to survive.

Although she has served the Wei family all her life, it is helpless to be a subordinate. Because the Wei family is harsh to her subordinates, Mama Li doesn't have much affection for this master; Especially after the Wei family ordered Li Mu to do those things, Mama Li was worried day and night, and she was even more respectful to the Wei family's master, and secretly hated her to death, and only hoped that she would die soon.

Wei died, maybe their family would be freed.

She acquiesced and even instigated her granddaughter to make room for Zhao Jing'an, and it was also a way to save her life when she was pregnant with a child and sat in her aunt's place.

But I don't want my family to end up like this.

From the moment she came back to life, she knew that her life was no longer Wei's, but the one who held the lives of her children and grandchildren. No matter what the man told her to do, she would do it, even if it poisoned Wei.

It's a pity that after her son's family fled, the second lady probably won't trust her anymore. She wants to get close to the second lady, I'm afraid it's difficult. can only follow the man's instructions to close the hearts of a few of Chunyan's subordinates, and they have to rely on them to achieve their goals at critical moments.

Although this is a bit unsatisfactory to Chun Jing and Chunfen, the man also said that after the Wei family falls, a few subordinates who have helped will be properly settled.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and looked at the maid next to her: "Chunqing, how is your mother's body?" ”

"Much better." Chunqing said with a smile, "When Shi Langzhong came to see you, Mrs. specially asked him to show my mother and prescribe a new prescription. I drank the medicine yesterday, and when I got up early today, my mother felt much lighter. ”

Shi Lang has high skills in traditional Chinese medicine, and only gives the masters a look at the disease; When they are sick in the next generation, they can only ask other Langzhong to see it, and they are not worthy of letting Shi Langzhong see the disease, unless the master is gracious. That's why Chunqing said this.

Mama Li shook her head, touched under the pillow, took out a silver ingot, and stuffed it into Chunqing's hand: "Your mother's illness needs to be raised with ginseng." I also saw that human life is the most important thing, and it is useless to keep money. Take the money and give it to your mother to drink medicine. ”
