Second Master Xu didn't know why his mother-in-law, who had always been domineering, suddenly changed her face again, he carefully observed his mother-in-law's face, and after a while, he turned his head to look at her, and asked cautiously: "Mother, what should we do now?" The eldest brother didn't have any news inside, and Jin Yiwei personally investigated the case......"

Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment, stretched out her hand and clicked on the table, looked at the ground coldly for a while, looked up at the second master Xu and ordered: "Second child, you go out now, take my post and go to visit Grandpa Zhang...... Let's see what Grandpa Zhang said. ”

Zhang Qing has always had close contacts with the British government, and the British government is well-informed in the palace, and a large part of the reason is because he has a close relationship with Zhang Qing.

But this time the British duke was not in the capital, and there were accidents at home, and Zhang Qing didn't move at all, which was too strange.

Anyway, if nothing happened, Zhang Qing should have expressed concern about the affairs of the British government.

Mrs. Shizi heard what Mrs. Xu meant, and looked back at her in shock, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a while, until the second master Xu went out, she rubbed in front of Mrs. Shizi: "Mother, are you ...... Are you suspicious, it was Grandpa Zhang who dealt with us? ”

Grandpa Zhang?!

How is this possible?!

Father-in-law Zhang is clearly very familiar with his family, and he often gives gifts and walks around during the New Year's holidays, and the relationship is so good, why does his mother suspect him now?

Old Mrs. Xu didn't mean to joke at all, she smiled bitterly, and said indifferently: "I also hope that I am too careful, otherwise...... It's really hard at home. ”

Mrs. Shizi was shaky, and when she walked out of the door, even the soles of her feet were soft, as if she had stepped on a cloud, and the hand holding the girl almost fell down one by one.

Yun Ping carefully supported her, and seeing that her expression was in a trance, she hurriedly persuaded her: "Mrs. Shizi, don't worry too much..... No matter what, life still has to be lived......"

Mrs. Shizi nodded reluctantly and went out to the council chamber.

In the council room, Mrs. Xu was on the council, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up and called out to her sister-in-law lightly.

Mrs. Shizi sat down on the seat where Mrs. Xu sat in front of her, and asked casually, "What's going on in the house recently?" ”

Second Mrs. Xu sighed, took her words and said a few things directly, and finally coughed and ordered a mother-in-law to come out: "By the way, sister-in-law, someone from my grandfather's family came and sent some things, saying that they were for my mother, what do you think about it?" ”

Maternal grandfather's house? Mrs. Shizi glanced at her, and then remembered that this grandfather's family was the Zhao family, and she rubbed her eyebrows very tiredly, and asked people to take out the things, and at a glance she could see that those things were gifts from the previous family.

Those valuable ginseng herbs and silk were all sent back intact, which was enough to prove the attitude of the Zhao family.

Mrs. Shizi couldn't help but feel a headache.

This time, the family was really embattled, and even the old lady's maiden family began to draw a line.

Second Mrs. Xu asked again, and Mrs. Shizi made a decision: "Take the things back first, take the gift list out, and I'll go to show my mother and ask what my mother means." ”

In the end, it was the old lady's maiden family, the old lady was mean and complained about her mother's family, but in fact, in the final analysis, she still valued her mother's family very much, otherwise, she would not have tried to cross her sister in everything, and tried hard to suppress Mrs. Fan.

After disposing of this matter, Mrs. Shizi was a little out of spirit, hesitated for a moment, but still rejected Yun Ping's proposal to let her go back to the room to rest first, and turned around and went to the old lady.

Not long after Mrs. Xu fell asleep, Mrs. Shizi sat outside in the bright room and waited, waiting until the old lady woke up and let her in, and then took the gift slip and entered the door.

There was a smell of medicine in the room, and Mrs. Xu raised her head to look at her in the smoke, and asked her with a bad face, "Why are you back again?" I heard Mama Xu say that you sat outside all afternoon waiting for me to wake up, what happened? ”

Mrs. Shizi gave the gift slip in her hand to Mama Xu, and looked at Mrs. Xu taking it and frowned, so she said carefully: "How did you send things over, how did you send them back intact...... This time, my grandmother is afraid that she is angry with us......."

It's not just angry, it's just angry, otherwise, Zhao Lao Fengjun has never slapped his eldest daughter in the face like this for so many years.

Old Lady Xu's face suddenly became gloomy.

Even if something happened to her son, she could quickly calm down after panicking, but I don't know why, as long as the matter involved her mother's family, she couldn't keep calm no matter what.

At this point, she is still so eccentric!

It's definitely for that slut again! Her mother has been partial to her since she was a child, no matter how much effort she has made over the years, in her mother's heart, she will never be as good as that person!

Mrs. Xu was angry and bloody, only to feel that even the roots of her ears were hot, and after a while, she tore up the gift list and sneered: "Take it back, take it back!" Anyway, they don't mean me, I can't do anything better than that little slut, since they are not rare, then just don't send them again! ”

Mrs. Shizi didn't dare to say anything, she came here this time, completely because she was uneasy, so she wanted to follow the old lady, if there was any news, it would be the first to know.

She has a very good relationship with her husband, so she is really worried about her husband's accident.

Old Mrs. Xu was dizzy with anger, and until the second old man Xu had returned, she still had an angry face.

But when she saw Second Master Xu, she still gave a good face for the first time, nodded and beckoned Second Master Xu to sit, and then asked him, "How is it?" ”

Second Master Xu's face was pale, and he shook his head a little tangled: "Mother, I'm afraid that things are really troublesome, I went to the Yamen of the Imperial Horse Supervisor outside today, but none of the little apprentices of Grandpa Zhang dared to tell me where he was, and even when I went to Zhang's house to deliver the post, I was not allowed to enter the door......"

That is to say, the Zhang family is really going to draw a line with the Xu family.

No, not even that, Old Lady Xu clenched her fists, her whole person tensed, and she sneered and said sharply: "Okay!" Good! Good! These people look down on us like this! But because of an accident, those people thought that our Xu family was trampled on the soles of their feet and couldn't stand up! ”

She was so emotional that she almost knocked over the teacup on the side, and Mrs. Shizi hurriedly went up to support her: "Mother, don't think so much...... It's better to think about how to solve these troubles......"
