Chapter 191: Hate to the Bone
The snow had been falling all night and had not stopped, and by the early morning it was already more than a foot deep.
The cold was so heavy that the bunk bed couldn't stop it, and Leng Sensen threw himself straight to his body.
Wei Aluan was afraid that Mrs. Zhu's ancestors and grandchildren would be cold, so he asked Shao Nan and Shao Yang to carry a big brocade screen over and put it at the head of the bed.
At that time, Wei Yining had already freshened up and was combing the old lady's hair with Ruyi.
The brocade screen was put away, and Shao Tong walked in from outside, bringing a cold air.
Wei Aluan said: "I don't see you early in the morning, come in from the outside at this time, don't come to the old lady and your sister, beware of the external feelings, it's not a joke." β
Wei Yining smiled: "Auntie, how can I be so squeamish." β
"Be careful," Wei said, "and getting sick this season is no joke. β
Shao Tong snorted and said, "I sent someone away early in the morning." β
"Who?" Everyone was a little puzzled, they hadn't heard who was leaving.
"The little aunt of the Lu family!" Shao Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Gu sent someone to send her out of the capital early in the morning, and I don't know where she is going." β
"It's such a cold day," Wei Aluan sighed, "and she's suffering from the wounds she has in her body." β
"She didn't bring it on herself?" Shao Tong didn't sympathize with Lu Yinshu at all: "I have long seen that she is not a good person. β
"Don't talk nonsense, she's your elder anyway!" Wei Aluan scolded him: "The bigger it is, the less it looks!" β
Shao Tong was not annoyed, grinned, and called the other two brothers out to eat.
When they went out, they happened to meet the housekeeper of the Shao family, and she came in and said to Wei Aluan: "The eldest lady said that the weather is too cold today, so I asked me to bring someone to bring breakfast over, saying that they should eat it in their own house." Ask the second wife to accompany the old lady and the girl to eat together, and if you want anything, send someone to the kitchen to get it. β
Shao Nan turned around and came back after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Then we will also eat in this house, just to accompany my grandmother." β
Of course, Mrs. Zhu was happy and said, "I like to eat with more people, and the food is fragrant." β
Mrs. Zhu rarely ate with the Wei family when she was in the Wei family, she didn't say it, but Wei Aluan knew in her heart that her mother actually didn't want to see Wei Zongyong and his wife from her heart.
But providence made people, and in the end, Wei Zongyong could only inherit the title.
Although Mrs. Zhu accepted this fact intellectually, she still didn't like him emotionally.
Therefore, although the superficial harmony is maintained, it can never be close.
However, Mrs. Zhu is still very wise, and she never asks the couple how to manage the house and how to be an official, and ignores it, so as not to be idle.
Wei Aluan asked the maid to bring the breakfast of the Shao Nan brothers to this house.
Wei Yining especially likes to eat the crispy and butter steamed buns made by the chef of Shaofu, which goes well with the hot japonica rice porridge.
The earth dragon burned very hot, silver charcoal was added to the smoked cage, and the incense burner was burned with Mrs. Zhu's favorite sweet pine incense, even if it was cold outside, the room was as warm as three springs.
But Lu Yinshu didn't have such a good life, at this moment she was curled up in the carriage, covered with three quilts and shivering cold.
The whiplash wound on his body did not heal, and he also developed a high fever.
When she returned from the county lord's mansion that day, the flesh and blood on her back were blurred, the skin and clothes were sticking together, and when she peeled off, she was so painful that she kept convulsing and vomiting, and when she was drugged, she fainted in pain several times.
Her father and mother-in-law, who were originally good to her, as well as several brothers and sisters-in-law, knew that she had offended the county lord, and they all avoided her like a snake and scorpion.
Her father and brother personally went to kowtow in front of the county lord's mansion to apologize, but they knelt all night, and no one paid attention to them, so they had to come back in disgrace.
After the family discussed, they didn't even ask her, didn't care about the seriousness of her injuries, and regardless of the cold and freezing, they directly stuffed her into the car and asked someone to send her back to her hometown in Pingzhou.
The carriage walked with great difficulty on the snow more than a foot thick, and could not travel ten miles in an hour.
Lu Yinshu's mouth was bitter, her throat was sweet, and the pain on her body was like a fire, which could not withstand the hatred in her heart.
"Wei Yining, as long as I don't die, I will come back sooner or later to seek revenge on you!" Lu Yinshu hated her to death, if it weren't for her, how could she suffer like this.
From childhood to adulthood, what Lu Yinshu wants to do, she will definitely be able to do it in the end.
happened to meet Wei Yining, and everything was destroyed.
She is unwilling, she is not convinced, she must take revenge!
A north wind swept away the curtain of the car with snowflakes, and Lu Yinshu was so cold that her teeth trembled, but a fire burned in her heart, burning the tip of her heart.
"I don't want to die! I can't die! Lu Yinshu gritted her teeth and said, "I want to live, and I want to find Wei Yining for revenge!" β
Qinyong Mansion.
The aunt and wife of the Shao family were complaining with snot and tears: "Sister-in-law, nephew and daughter-in-law, you let the talent intercede for us!" I've sent that troublemaker back home.
I just hope that the county lord can calm his anger and let us stay in the capital. β
Now the highest official position of the Lu family is only a Beijing official from the fourth grade, which is not as good as the scenery of the previous generations.
There is no future among the young children, so they come back to beg their mother's family whenever something happens.
She didn't want to be affected by that dead girl to move out of the capital, she had lived in Zhaoyi since she was a child, and she was used to eating the food here and seeing the beautiful scenery here.
Now that they have reached this age, how can they leave?
Needless to say, just the mother's family can't eat and can't use it, how much does it fill her every year?
If you leave the capital, how can you still have these benefits?
Besides, if you are demoted out of Beijing and become a local sixth- or seventh-grade official, isn't that tantamount to a complete defeat?
"Mrs. Gu, it's easy to get angry about pleading for this kind of thing," Shao Tong walked in from outside and said unceremoniously: "It's the county lord who is angry with your family, and everyone knows that the queen raised her as her own daughter."
You asked my uncle and father to intercede, how can they open their mouths? Unless it is offset by a knighthood or official position, it is not enough to appease the anger of the queen or the lord of the county. β
Mrs. Shao's aunt still had two lines of old tears on her face, and when she heard this, she didn't care about wiping her tears, and hurriedly said: "I don't think so, the saint appreciates the two brothers so much, and it will be over with two sentences at most." β
"No matter how big the world is, there is no more than a courtesy word, if it can really be solved so easily, no one will dare to criticize the royal people next time." Shao Tong snorted coldly: "It's not me who is a junior, you are also confused, I heard that a few days ago, you had to stuff that stirrger into our house."
If you really come, I'm afraid that it will make our family lose our official position and abandon the knight! β
"Tong'er, don't talk nonsense!" Wei Aluan scolded Shao Tong: "If you are so uneducated, let me go to the ancestral hall and kneel!" β
Shao Tong was still smiling, Shi Shiran turned around and went to the ancestral hall to kneel.
Mrs. Shao's aunt's face was angry and turned into pig liver, and she was speechless.
"Sister, dissipate your anger," said the old lady of the Shao family, "Don't be like a child. β
"Sister-in-lawβ" Mrs. Gu said while beating her chest, "I also know that you are in trouble, but you can't die without help!" β
"Dead? Who's going to die? The old lady of the Shao family smiled: "In my opinion, it is said that trees move the dead and people live, where is it not for the royal loyalty?"
It's not my sister-in-law's affection, it's really for a reason.
If it's something else, you don't need to open your mouth, we should help.
But our Shao family is blessed by the royal family to have today, how can we make the saint embarrassed because of personal feelings?
Even if the saint wants to take away my family's title and dismiss my two sons, our Shao family will never complain, let alone plead.
The royal rewards and punishments are all graces, and as courtiers, this must be understood. β
