But Xu You could no longer be comforted by her mother's weightless words, she covered her face and couldn't help crying, like a cat drenched in the rain, pitiful: "Mother, don't lie to me!" There is no news from my grandfather so far, my father is in prison, and even my grandmother is sick and can't get out of bed, and I have never seen my grandmother do this.......

Xu You had completely collapsed: "You always tell me it's okay, but if it's really okay, how dare Jin Yiwei arrest his father and leave?!" Grandmother too, grandmother is sick and can't speak.......

Mrs. Shizi was told by her daughter that it was a little difficult to breathe, and she coughed fiercely for a while and almost couldn't breathe, and after a long time, she shook her head: "You are a child, and the sky will not press on your head when it falls, don't worry, as long as the family can still hold on, we will protect you." ”

Xu You clutched his handkerchief tightly, almost breaking it, and said in a low and depressed tone: "Mother, I really don't know what to do now, I'm so scared..... I'm so scared that something will happen, what happened to my father? Second uncle, can he really save his father? ”

Mrs. Shizi was silent and did not answer.

It was only after she finally sent her daughter away that she forced her sick body to go to the old lady's room.

Mama Xu, who was waiting, told her with a solemn face: "The old lady had a high fever last night, and I only invited Dr. Guo to come over today, saying that the old lady's liver is hot, so that now her throat is rotten, and she can't eat and take medicine, so that the old lady wants to be hungry quietly for a few meals......"

Mrs. Shizi couldn't listen to it, and when she opened the curtain and saw Second Mrs. Xu, she immediately raised her eyebrows.

Second Mrs. Xu swept away her previous submissive style, and nodded at her without being humble or arrogant: "Sister-in-law, my mother's fever has subsided, but her body is still very weak, and she is very worried about her eldest brother, it's good that you are here, the old lady is saying that she wants to see you." ”

Mrs. Shizi hummed coldly, bypassed her and entered the back room, and saw that Mrs. Xu was half-leaning on the bed to drink medicine, so she hurriedly went over to take it.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her, rubbed her temples and asked her very weakly, "Are you feeling better?" Just now, your brother and sister also said that you also invited a doctor to come, saying that you fell ill from anxiety. ”

Mrs. Shizi took the tea handed over by Mama Xu, and couldn't help the bitterness on her face: "I'm fine, it's just that too many things have happened recently, and I'm a little exhausted....... Mother, now that things have come to this point, I really don't know what's going on, the prince has always been very careful when doing things outside, but this time so many people stood up to sue him...... Even the Jinyi guards were alarmed, those people didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, the prince was only afraid that something would happen this time......."

With too much worry and grievance in her heart, Mrs. Shizi hurriedly let out a long breath, and couldn't help coughing violently when she was excited.

Old Mrs. Xu was also silent for a while and did not speak.

This matter is indeed very tricky, Mrs. Xu has already asked Steward Xu to inquire, but the British Mansion, which has always been very open in the officialdom, has not heard any news.

It's just weird.

Mrs. Xu had to worry.

But now that there are so many things at home, Mrs. Xu can't say anything more frustrating, she shook her head and endured the headache and asked Mrs. Shizi to lift her spirits: "Don't talk about those useless things, now since you can't find out the news, you should first control the people in your own family, you look at Xiaoyou, don't let Xiaoyou make any trouble, let Xiaoyou if it's okay, don't go to the palace, just report the illness." ”

Report a disease?

Mrs. Shizi didn't react for a while, and it took a while to understand what Mrs. Xu meant.

King Xin and Wei Minzhai were both on Zhu Yuan's side, if Xu You entered the palace to pick up Princess Jing'an, then this time it would not be so lucky.

Mrs. Shizi nodded hurriedly.

After a while, Mrs. Xu saw that she was listless, and comforted her again: "Don't look like this, after a while, it will always be fine, and when your father-in-law comes back, it will be fine." ”

Mrs. Shizi nodded, served Mrs. Xu and drank a bowl of porridge, and then said goodbye to the old lady, the recent housework is in charge of the second lady, in fact, in the end, Mrs. Shizi is indeed not so relieved in her heart.

But who knew before standing up, there was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Xu motioned to Mama Xu to bring someone in, and when she turned her head, she saw that it was Second Master Xu, and her face was a little anxious: "How is it?" Is there any news that there is not? ”

Second Master Xu sighed, and after running around for a few days, he was also a lot haggard, nodded and said: "I can't get a lot of news, there has been a lot of news recently, and everyone can't help but retreat when they hear that we came to the door......

Mrs. Xu had already expected that the world was hot and cold, and many things were so realistic.

Especially the second master Xu rarely goes out with his father and brother to socialize, and there are even fewer people in the capital who know him and are willing to give him face.

Mrs. Shizi could not hide her disappointment.

When Second Master Xu saw that they were all like this, he was even more embarrassed, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "It's not that I haven't heard any news...... I inquired that Jinyiwei took a lot of things from the study at home, among which there was evidence of collusion between the eldest brother and those officials of the guard house below......

Mrs. Shizi's face suddenly changed greatly.

Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but close her eyes, and after a while, she suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but open her eyes wide, with a very solemn expression.

Mrs. Shizi was startled, and when she saw that her face was pale, she hurriedly shook her arm to bring her back to her senses: "Old lady, what's wrong?" ”

Old Lady Xu's face was solemn, and after a long while, she shook her head in shock: "No..... No..... How so......

Second Master Xu couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

Mrs. Shizi also hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, mother?" Do you remember something? ”

Mrs. Xu did remember something, she stretched out her hand and pointed at the second master Xu: "Second brother, you go out quickly, you go to check, didn't your eldest brother have a Zhuangzi in Langfang before?" You check the origin of Zhuangzi! ”

Why do you say that all of a sudden?

Second Master Xu couldn't figure it out, but he had always been very afraid of Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu explained it like this, and her tone was so serious, he didn't dare to ask anything more, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed, and then turned around and went out to do something.

Mrs. Shizi was also very strange, and when she saw Mrs. Xu say this, she knew that she must have guessed something, and hurriedly asked her: "Mother, how is it, do you know something?" Did you think of what Seko was doing outside? ”

Mrs. Xu didn't answer, but was silent and didn't speak.

She always felt that she already knew who was going to deal with the Xu family, but she couldn't believe it when she thought of the candidate.
