Chapter 333: Going through the motions

"Yes, that's how I understand it."

Zhao listened to the conversation between the two sisters, and smiled from ear to ear, while Duran looked embarrassed and helpless, everyone really misunderstood, but she was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and she had a hard time.

Luo'an City, Xufu.

Xu Mansion is a big family in Luo'an City, and many relatives from the countryside come to visit the New Year during the Chinese New Year, and some people who have no way to do business want to come to Xu Mansion to give gifts.

Master Xu is highly respected, although he does not accept bribes, it is not easy to drive people away at this time, so there is an endless stream of visitors. After Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu finished sending off the guests, they sat down tiredly, and Mrs. Xu immediately ordered someone to serve tea over, "Master, you can rest." ”

"Hmm." Master Xu took it, took a sip, put it down, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, "During the Chinese New Year, Hening was running outside alone, and I, who was a father, missed him." This child is also eager to do business, not to say to help me, you say that our family has a big business, but the child can't be around the knee, alas! ”

Mrs. Xu reached over and held his hand, "Master, don't sigh. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is unlucky. This family is his, and if he goes out to train earlier, it will be good for him to this family, and you should be happy. ”

Mrs. Xu was so comforted, in fact, she had already thought of Master Xu's thoughts, he was missing his second son Xu Heming, if it weren't for the competition for family property, Xu Heming would not have died because of this.

Master Xu regretted it in his heart.

"Sir...... You relax, some things will pass when they have passed, and those who have bad intentions, even if they live, are still evil. Mrs. Xu didn't know how to comfort him, and her hand was tightly on the back of Old Man Xu's hand.

In fact, Xu Heming has been in opposition to him since he was a child, he seems to be here to collect debts, and now he has left early, so it's okay.

Master Xu returned his hand and wrapped her hand tightly, "Madam, over the years, you have suffered a lot of grievances for him. I'm really sorry for you. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and shook her head.

Master Xu bowed his head with relief, let go of her hand, and said: "Madam, as elders, we will take care of some young people in case of trouble, Heming is gone, but he still has a wife and children, if you are free, you will take care of it more." ”

Mrs. Xu's face froze, and then she nodded, "Well, I usually take care of it." ”

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Sir, where are these words? That's also my duty, as the mother of the family, I should share the worries and relieve the old man, besides, Heming's grandson is the heir of the Xu Mansion, and I am also the child's grandmother. Mrs. Xu said on her lips, but she didn't recognize this child in her heart.

However, she knew that Master Xu couldn't rest assured that Gu Chunyan and their mother and son would be relieved, so she nodded and agreed.

Now that Gu Chunyan and her mother have lost power, orphans and widows, and they can't afford to make waves in the house, she just let them go, and she usually sends people to take care of them, just to supervise their every move.

Because there is a saying that let the tiger return to the mountain, as long as Gu Chunyan stays in the house, she will never be at ease.

Especially Xu Heming, who is gone, but left her son, she is only worried that it will not be a trouble.

While talking, there were guests in the house again, and Mrs. Xu stood up and said, "Master, then you greet the guests here, and I will go to the backyard to see their mother and son." ”

"Good! Thank you. ”

"Nope! If I can share it for the master, I will be satisfied. Mrs. Xu got up and took her mother-in-law to the side courtyard.

The courtyard was deserted, there was no New Year's atmosphere at all, and when she stepped into the courtyard door, she smelled the smell of Chinese medicine wafting from the courtyard, and Mrs. Xu frowned.

"Ma'am." When the maids in the courtyard saw her come in, they saluted her one after another.

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and instructed the old mother beside her: "For the Chinese New Year, you have worked hard to take care of the eldest grandson." Come on, show a little caution to everyone here. ”

"Yes, ma'am." The old mother took out the broken silver from her purse and distributed it to the maids-in-law.

"Thank you, ma'am."

In the house, Gu Chunyan heard the movement, came out of the main house, and saw that Mrs. Xu was rewarding people, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, she knew that Mrs. Xu couldn't look down on her at all, and now she came to her yard with a smiling face, just to make a show and go through the motions, after all, she was the main mother, she still gathered her emotions and walked forward quickly.

"Ma'am."

Mrs. Xu stroked her expressionlessly, glanced towards the main house, and asked, "Is the child feeling better lately?" ”

"I just took the decoction, and I just fell asleep at this time." Gu Chunyan replied seemingly respectfully.

"Then I'll go in and take a look."

"Ma'am." Gu Chunyan called out reluctantly.

Stopped, turned his head to look, "What's wrong?" The young lady is not worried about me? Or what's ......"

"No, no!" Gu Chunyan hurriedly waved her hand, "Madam, please!" ”

The smell of medicine in the room was even stronger, just walked over, saw the little milk baby on the bed who couldn't help the wind was sleeping, she stood in front of the bed and paid careful attention, the little milk baby's breathing was very weak. is so weak that he can't detect it, which shows a problem, this child is really dying.

At the beginning, Gu Chunyan took the fetal medicine and barely gave birth to the child, but it didn't work at all. Love Me eBook

How to say it, this little pity is also a human life, but it was just thrown into the wrong fetus, transferred to the hands of a woman like Gu Chunyan, looking at the little baby who seemed to have a breath of nothing, Mrs. Xu's eyes were already full of tears. In the end, she couldn't bear it, she pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "What's wrong with this kid...... The lord also specially told me to come and have a look...... How can I see that something is wrong? ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she stood in front of her son's bed and wiped her tears, isn't this a curse for her son's death?

Gu Chunyan was annoyed in her heart, and wanted to reprimand her, but in the end, her identity was different, she was a junior in the Xu Mansion and had no support, except for Master Xu to take care of her, almost no one cared about the life or death of their mother and son. So she is self-aware, and she doesn't dare to speak disrespectfully to Mrs. Xu, so she can only lower her eyebrows and be obedient.

"Don't worry, ma'am! The doctor said that the child will get better soon, no matter how old he is. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I'll help you take care of it more here, and you can go and rest for a while during the Chinese New Year." ”

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness. The daughter-in-law is not tired, she can stay by the child's side, and she doesn't feel tired no matter how hard she is. ”

Mrs. Xu frowned, which made her rest, and she was not obedient, she simply didn't know what to do. Does she think that everyone has a bad heart with her and wants to kill people?

If it weren't for the master's sake, how could she feel sorry for this little slut who is not shallow.

Gu Chunyan hurriedly instructed the only person in the house, who was also a wet nurse, and said, "Madame has been here for a while, quickly pour tea for Madame." ”

"Excuse me, excuse me." Mrs. Xu waved her hand, she came over just to see the situation of their mother and son, and did not intend to stay for a long time.

"Madame's kindness, Chunyan is grateful, but this house smells bad, Madame, please go back."

Gu Chunyan didn't want Mrs. Xu to stay here for a moment at all, she always felt that Mrs. Xu was uneasy and kind, as if she had found the right time to harm her mother and son. As long as Madame is here, she can't let her guard down for a moment.

"Alright then, send someone to me at any time if you have anything." After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she turned around and left, followed by the maid and the maid behind her.

Gu Chunyan looked at her smug back, her heart was like being poked by a knife, she felt in pain, and looking at the dying child on the bed, she felt even more helpless and hopeless.

The reason why she can live in Xu Mansion is because she has children in Xu Mansion, and if she loses the barrier of children, Xu Mansion will not tolerate her no matter what.

The brazier in the house was not burning vigorously, and a chill was blowing outside the door, Gu Chunyan glanced at the window and coldly scolded the only old mother in the house: "Are you such a current person?" No matter how much I lose power, I am still the master of the Xu Mansion, and even you dare to bully me? ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!" The old mother walked over quickly and reclosed the door that Mrs. Xu had not closed when she left just now, and then returned to Gu Chunyan and stood with her hands down.

But Gu Chunyan thought, this old mother didn't take her seriously, and continued to reprimand: "You must know that without our mother and son, you will also lose the place where Xu Mansion can stay, your children are all dead, and your family has been sold by the son who is addicted to gambling, if our mother and son are not there, where will you be sent?" ”

The old mother was terrified, "Young lady, old slave ......"

"Ten slaps on your own mouth." Gu Chunyan didn't bother to look at her, and ordered coldly.

The old mother raised her head, looked at her in disbelief, and saw that her face was fierce, so she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes and slapped herself.

"That's enough." Gu Chunyan counted silently in her heart, and only when she slapped seven or eight times did she shout, "Don't fight, don't block my heart on the first day of the new year." ”

"Yes, the old slave is careless, and he will serve the young lady and the eldest grandson well in the future."

Gu Chunyan was relieved and raised her eyes to look at the old mother: "Do you know what Mrs. means by coming here?" ”

"Maybe it's the New Year, Mrs. listened to the master's instructions, came over to go through the motions, and showed her concern." The old mother replied in fear.

"Wrong! Didn't you notice that as soon as Madame came in, the focus was on my son? She stopped at the bedside, hoping that my son would not survive tomorrow. Gu Chunyan said coldly.

The old mother was taken aback, the word death for the New Year is very unlucky, she is alone, and she has nothing to worry about, but Gu Chunyan can't curse her son no matter what she says.

"Young lady, baa The eldest grandson, the son of Jiren, has his own natural appearance, and he must be rich and noble when he grows up. The old mother hurriedly flattered.

"Humph!" Gu Chunyan sneered a few times, "I don't care anymore, what are you worried about?" Are you worried that we will be blasted out of our homes and left to fend for ourselves? You're really worried, I'm worried about that. I finally figured it out during this time, and looking at my declining son, I knew that there was no hope left in this life, and all I could do was on my own. As she spoke, Gu Chunyan's eyes kept shining with ruthlessness.

"Young lady, you ......" the old mother had already guessed something in her mind.

Gu Chunyan suddenly turned her head and said hypocritically: "Mama Hu, you know that you are dedicated to my good, you are a loyal person, but we must recognize the facts in front of us and plan as soon as possible, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Hu Ma shook her head again and again, her eyes already showed a frightened light, who Gu Chunyan was, she didn't know before, everyone in the house was rumored that she instigated Xu Heming to poison her biological father, she didn't believe it at first, since following Gu Chunyan's side, every time she saw her sinister and cruel smile at her son who was about to die, she decided in her heart that Gu Chunyan was indeed a ruthless person, and she was always cautious and trembling when she did things by her side, and she was abused and beaten by her if she was not careful.

Right now, looking at Gu Chunyan's ruthless expression, I guessed what bad idea was brewing in her heart.

She was assigned to Gu Chunyan as a subordinate, and she could only consider herself unlucky, but she had never done anything that hurt nature, let alone the guts, she hadn't lived enough, and she was afraid of death.

She was a little timid, "Young lady, the old slave is stupid." ”

The corners of Gu Chunyan's lips hooked a weird evil smile: "Okay, I don't know, forget it, we won't talk about this during the New Year, it's not good for Madam to give us this good thing, what do you like to eat, what to use, don't say hello to me, just take it and enjoy it." ”

After speaking, Gu Chunyan waved her hand generously.

As if she had been pardoned, Mama Hu hurriedly withdrew from the house with a thousand thanks.
