Originally, before dinner, the eldest lady would definitely come to the old lady's place and serve her mother-in-law for dinner. I didn't eat with Xu Xi before, and the old lady's dinner was generally earlier than that of the people in the third room, because I didn't want to delay the eldest daughter-in-law to go back to eat with her son and grandson.

But today, when Zhao Yuanxun came back, he was eager to know the news from his mouth, so the eldest lady did not come.

Zhao Yuanxun had just entered the mansion, and before he could say a few words to his wife, he heard the news from his subordinates.

He was already in poor health, and he was tired of traveling, and when he heard the news, his body was crooked and he almost collapsed. But worried about his mother's body, he still forced himself to go to the main courtyard with his wife.

At this time, he saw that his mother was sober, but her mouth was crooked and her eyes were slanted, and sure enough, it was a stroke, and his tears suddenly welled up, and he was about to squeeze it in when he pulled out the glass.

The eldest lady is even more guilty.

The reason for the old lady's illness, they have heard from others.

The news of Aunt Wang's pregnancy was spread by her, and she used Aunt Wang, she could also protect her safety, and she felt that there was no danger to the rest, at most the subordinates in the second room were guilty. Unexpectedly, Wei went crazy and angry with the old lady and made the old lady angry.

Although the culprit was Wei, she felt that if she didn't reveal Aunt Wang's pregnancy, maybe the old lady wouldn't be angry with Wei.

Therefore, she blamed herself so much that she ran to the old lady and cried.

Seeing the reactions of Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu, Wei saw through the open door that the old lady had many needles on her head, her mouth was still crooked, and she did not have the slightest doubt about her condition in her heart.

After all, the old lady is old, and it is very likely that she was angry with her actions just now, and she suffered a stroke.

"Master Hou and Mrs. Hou just come in, everyone else goes out, everyone else goes out. The old lady couldn't move at all now. If you get angry again, it's not going to be easy. As soon as Shi Langzhong saw that the door opened, a group of people wanted to squeeze in, so they hurriedly stopped it.

After Zhao Yuanxun and the eldest lady entered the door, Liuli hurriedly stopped the others, closed the door outside, and guarded the door herself.

Worried that the words in the house would be heard and the old lady pretending to be sick would be exposed, she began to drive people away: "Don't gather around here, let's disperse." ”

The people hurriedly dispersed, and those with clever brains hurried to report the news. After all, the old lady is sick, and the third lady, the daughter-in-law, came too late, and she will be criticized. At this time, if you report the news, you may be able to get a big reward.

The status of the third lady's maiden family is not obvious, but she is rich.

Wei glanced at Liuli, ignored her, and stood still.

Liuli is a subordinate, Wei is disobedient, and she can't help it.

And Liuli was worried that the old lady and the eldest lady didn't want Wei to leave Rongxi Hall like this. After all, the second lady made the old lady angry, but it was a big deal. After a while, the Hou Ye and the eldest lady must be hers. Let her go at this time, who knows if it will disrupt the plans of the old lady and the eldest lady?

She had no choice but to greet Pearl, who rushed over from outside: "Go, get a stool for the second lady." He winked at her.

Pearl understood, moved a stool from next door, and put it next to the pillar: "Second lady, please sit." ”

Wei was quite satisfied with the attentive attitude of these two maids.

Seeing that the third lady Su hurriedly entered the courtyard gate, and there were a few people from Rongxi Hall in the courtyard, worried that the news of her anger on the old lady would be known by the Su family, Wei's eyes rolled and said to the pearl: "It's not a matter for us to sit here, it's better to go to the wing room and wait." ”

She instructed Chunfen again: "You stay here, Shi Langzhong will call me as soon as he comes out, you know?" ”

Chunfen hurriedly agreed.

Wei Shi went down the steps and grabbed the arm of Su Shi, who was about to go up the steps: "Let's go, go to the wing." ”

Pearl also said: "Third lady, Shi Langzhong is giving needles to the old lady, and everyone is not allowed to surround him." You and the second lady go to the wing room and sit down. So saying, he opened the door of the west wing and invited them in.

In this house, except for Zhao Yuanxun and his wife, Zhao Jingli, Zhao Jingan and other children who really care about the old lady, the others, whether they are the Su family or the two concubines, are all face-saving to the old lady. Secretly, I wish she would die early, so that I could take off the mountain that was pressing on my head.

Therefore, Wei and Pearl greeted each other, Su asked a few words, expressed his concern for the old lady, and followed into the West Chamber.

Seeing this, Liuli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the house, the old lady had already taken her son's hand and asked with a smile, "Are you...... It's back. ”

The expression on her face had returned to normal at this time, and she no longer had a crooked mouth and squinted eyes, but in order to let the people outside the door hear, her speech was still vague and her voice was not loud.

Worried that her son and daughter-in-law hadn't understood that she was pretending to be sick, she lowered her voice again and asked clearly, "What's the situation?" ”

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu were stunned when they saw her like this: "You, you ......"

The old lady hurriedly leaned into Zhao Yuanxun's ear and whispered, "I'm pretending to be sick, don't worry." ”

She is pretending to be sick, and everyone else is fine, but I am afraid that Zhao Yuanxun will not be able to bear the news if he knows it.

The son's health is already poor, and he is tired of traveling. She was worried that before she fell, Zhao Yuanxun fell.

The old lady didn't know that Zhao Yuanxun had returned. If I knew, I wouldn't have pretended to be sick here.

In the old lady's opinion, although it is important to punish Wei, no matter how much it is, it is not as good as her son's body.

Knowing that the old lady was pretending to be sick, the eldest lady cried with joy and couldn't help crying.

This cry spread outside, and it confirmed that the old lady had suffered a stroke and was seriously ill.

Zhao Yuanxun knew what his mother was worried about, patted his crying wife, and said to his mother: "I found out, it's the same as you guessed." ”

The old lady was stunned and grabbed her son's hand: "Really? ”

Zhao Yuanxun nodded.

The old lady turned her head to look at the eldest lady: "Don't cry, hurry up and send a message to my aunts and grandmothers, just say that I am sick." ”

Shi Lang least wants to know the secrets in these mansions. The more you know, the faster you die.

When he heard this, he hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Master Hou, madam, don't cry, so as not to worry the old lady." Come, get out of the way, I'll pull out the needle for the old lady. ”

The eldest lady also knew that this was not the place to speak, and she knew that the Wei family was suspicious, and the people in the house were also full of mouths, so the old lady must not let the news of pretending to be sick spread.

She hurriedly took advantage of the fact that she had just cried, and hurriedly said in a thick nasal voice: "There is Lao Shilang." Shi Langzhong, you must cure my mother. ”

"Don't worry, the old man will do his best." Shi Lang said in the middle.

He began to pull out the needles of the old lady one by one.

After pulling out the needle, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, help the old lady into the inner room to rest." The old man went outside to watch the next person boil medicine. With that, he packed up his things and opened the door and went out.
