Chapter 150: One More Plan
Chunqing was stunned, waved her hand again and again, and refused to accept Mama Li's silver: "This is not good." How can we use your money? "Take it." Mama Li stuffed the silver into her hand, "Your mother has been taking medicine all year round, and her family foundation is gone." Yesterday, Mrs. grabbed that medicine for you, right? Can she help catch one pair, and can she help catch ten pairs? I don't have much money, so I can buy some ginseng and a few pairs of medicines to eat. ”
"Mama......" Chunqing's tears flowed out at once, grabbed the silver, and choked up, "Thank you." You take care of me a lot on weekdays, but when I am not well, I remember my mother, and our family is grateful to you. Don't worry, when my mother recovers, we will save money to pay it back to you. ”
Usually the second lady has a bad temper, she and Chunfen and the two maids are inevitably scolded and punished, and Mama Li mediates to help intercede, so they are very grateful to Mama Li. And for the second lady, Chunqing has no gratitude.
Mama Li opened her mouth and was about to speak, when she heard a crisp sound from the main room, followed by Wei's angry reprimand.
Mama Li and Chun Yan both shook in unison.
It seems that the second lady is angry again.
It is common for the Wei family to get angry, and Mama Li didn't want to care about it. After thinking about it, she said to Chun Yan: "You go and see, what's going on." ”
Like this kind of thing, Chun Yan can hide as far as she can, and she doesn't want to be affected and angry. But Mama Li told her that she was not going to go.
When she went out and entered the house again, she told Mama Li: "It's Aunt Wang who is pregnant, and I heard that it has been two months." Madame directly smashed the vase she loved the most, and now she is going to Aunt Wang's courtyard. ”
Mama Li's heart jumped, and her eyes involuntarily looked in the direction of the big house, but she quickly retracted it, glanced at Chunyan, and saw that she was stunned and didn't pay attention to what she had just done, so she breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her eyes to think about her thoughts.
She always felt that Li Mu's family did not flee from the Hou Mansion, but was left in the hands of the eldest lady. Otherwise, her ten-year-old grandson could not have disappeared with him by such a coincidence.
Not only did she guess so, but it was estimated that the second lady also thought so.
Helplessly, the second lady interrogated the Wu family's and Mrs. Qian's son-in-law, the two of them one kept the first half of the night and the other kept the second half of the night, Li Mu's family probably fled in the second half of the night, and it was the Wu family's who was guarding the firewood room at that time, and she fell asleep in a daze. Now the responsibility falls on everyone Wu.
And the Wu family married their daughter to a small servant in the third master's study not long ago, and the second lady made a fuss with the eldest lady and the third lady, and the eldest lady punished the Wu family and Mrs. Qian again, and the matter was over.
The second lady couldn't get the evidence, and she couldn't find anyone, although she was suspicious, she was helpless.
But Mama Li was a little more sure of her guess about the whereabouts of her children and grandchildren since she was sick that night, and someone approached her and handed her that sentence.
After all, it was the eldest lady who imprisoned Li Mu, and she was still the one who arranged the vigil. If she really wants to do something, even if the Wu family and Mrs. Qian can't find out - even if they do, they don't dare to say it. After all, this Hou Mansion is still in charge of the eldest lady.
Now that it was revealed that Aunt Wang was pregnant, Mama Li intuitively felt that it was the eldest lady's hands and feet.
The relationship between the second lady and the second master is not harmonious, and the second master hardly goes back to the main courtyard to rest, either living in the study in the front yard or staying with his aunt.
But because of the second lady's strength, the second master didn't dare to touch her bottom line, that is, to get out of the concubine again.
You must know that when the fourth girl was born, the second lady's maiden family was not visible, and she could make the second master miserable because of the existence of this concubine. In the end, the mother of the four girls was forced to hang herself. In order not to spread the reputation of jealousy and viciousness, and because she was a girl, the second lady allowed the fourth girl to survive.
The second master also knew that if he got out of his concubine's children, with Wei's ferocity and viciousness, not only would the child not only not be able to live, but his aunt or Tongfang would not be able to live. So he has been forcing his women to drink the soup of the child.
But now, Aunt Wang is pregnant, and she has been pregnant for two months, and her preference has coincidentally reached the ears of the second lady at this moment, and Mama Li feels that the eldest lady deliberately let people leak the news.
As for the reason why the eldest lady did these things, according to Wei's attitude towards the five girls and the tone that was inadvertently revealed some time ago, Mama Li could vaguely guess a few points. It is possible that none of the five girls are the biological children of the second lady. As for where her biological child went......
Thinking about her guess, Mama Li couldn't help but shudder.
Chun Yan asked in a low voice: "Mama Li, you say, why does Aunt Wang dare to do this knowing that the second lady will not allow it?" "I also know that the second master is unreliable.
Mama Li smiled: "What else can it be?" Seek wealth and danger. That Aunt Wang, the means are not bad, what kind of fuel-efficient lamp do you think? ”
"She's not going to die, is she?"
Mama Li shook her head, leaned back, and leaned on the pillow: "Some time ago, why do you think she kept running into the old lady's courtyard?" In order to find a backer. She felt that the old lady and the eldest lady were both kind people, and they would not let the second lady take her and the child's lives like this. ”
Probably the same, the eldest lady will spread the news to the ears of the second lady at this moment. After all, if you are pregnant with a child, you can't hide it. After four or five months, the belly will always get bigger. At this time, there was news that Aunt Wang might face these a month or two in advance, but the eldest lady accepted her affection and would definitely be able to protect her safety.
Thinking of this, Mama Li was even more determined to obey the man's orders.
If the lives of her children and grandchildren are really in the hands of the eldest lady, then she really has nothing to hesitate about.
The eldest lady is not without means, otherwise she would not be able to control such a huge Hou Mansion, and the second lady would not dare to bully her. She is also kind-hearted and generous. If he helped the eldest lady, the eldest lady would give their family a way out no matter what.
On the contrary, if you help the second lady yourself. No matter what happens in the end, the second lady will definitely be angry with them and will not let them end well.
"What's more, do you think the second master is really so cowardly, he won't protect Aunt Wang?" Mama Li said again.
Chunyan couldn't see these young girls, but Mama Li felt that the second master had true feelings for Aunt Wang, and she might be involved with the Wei family for this matter.
That Aunt Wang, on the surface, looks pure and weak, but in fact she is a very means, and the second master who was suppressed by the Wei family eats her the most. It seems that he has stayed with several aunts about the same number of times these days, but he is actually protecting Aunt Wang.
Mama Li has persuaded Wei many times not to be so fierce to Zhao Yuanliang. Even if you can't be gentle, you can give him some sweetness to eat, and let Old Lady Wei find an errand for him.
After all, whether Zhao Yuanliang is a concubine or not, he used to be the son of the Guogong Mansion, playing small brocade clothes and jade food, never suffering hardship, and he is a gentleman. Such a person has never been angry, and the Yue family has no benefit to him, where is he willing to be pressed by his wife?
But Wei didn't listen, and he quarreled with his husband for a few years, and in the end, he couldn't control Zhao Yuanliang and took a concubine, so that Zhao Yuanliang didn't even come to the main house?
Now it's okay, Aunt Wang asked Zhao Yuanliang to fight with the Wei family because she was pregnant, and the eldest lady made another effort in the back. When the eldest lady dealt with the Wei clan, the Wei clan could not even rely on Zhao Yuanliang, a natural ally, and could only be isolated.
If it is true that she changed her child, once this matter is exposed, and there is no Zhao Yuanliang to protect her, the Wei family chooses to give up on her for the sake of fame, and her whole person will be finished.
