Mama Yi felt sorry in her heart. Zhong Lingyu and Mama Wu were talking to her all the way, even if she wanted to report the news, she couldn't find a chance.

Chen knew that this was not the time to blame people, so he had to turn around and smile at Mama Wu: "Yes, may I ask you ......?"

"I am Mama Wu of the family of Lord Sun of the Yatong Judge of Fuling County, and my old lady sent me to follow my son-in-law to your mansion for mourning." Mama Wu had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were cold when she looked at Chen, "I heard that the old lady of your mansion is not well, I wanted to come over to say hello, but I didn't expect to see the demeanor of the second lady." ”

The smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, and the cold light in her eyes became sharper and sharper: "I want to ask the second lady, now that there is a tea garden in Ba County, which one is not so busy that it is dark?" The eldest lord of your mansion died, the eldest mother was weak and young, and the eldest lady had to take care of the family's livelihood and prepare to take care of the tea garden. Now when I heard that the old lady of your house was sick, she left the tea garden without saying a word, and came here to ask about the illness, such a filial girl, how could the second lady not only not have a good word, but was so harsh? The second lady also has a daughter at home, right? ”

Chen's face was red and white at Mama Wu's words, and he usually had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, but at this time his mouth was half open, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhuang was touched by these words, and remembered the benefits of her husband's time, and tears flowed again.

The third lady, Kong Shi, also looked at Chen coldly when she heard this, her eyes were not good, and her face sank.

The Kong family has been married for many years, and only gave birth to two daughters, and the young master of the third room is a concubine, and the mother is still an aunt who has a bad relationship with the Kong family. Therefore, the Kong family has no hope now, only hoping that their two daughters will find a good husband. Only in this way can she rely on her old age, and her life will be better. And her eldest daughter Zhong Ling is also thirteen years old now, and it is time to discuss marriage. At this time, the girl of the Zhong family had a reputation for unfilial piety, and the biggest influence was not Zhong Lingyu, who had already been engaged, but her daughter of the Kong family.

Seeing this, Mama Wu's sense of superiority as a subordinate of the official eunuch family became stronger and stronger, and her voice raised a lot: "Although my aunt and grandmother are gone, and the cousin from my aunt and grandmother is also gone, the blood of my aunt and grandmother is still there." The fact that my second son-in-law can come here to offer condolences shows that in the eyes of my old lady, this family has not been broken. Whoever wants to bully my Sun family's bloodline has to be prepared to bear the anger of my Sun family, if you don't believe it, please try it! ”

Chen became more and more frightened by what she said, worried that Zhong Deqing would blame himself for learning about this, so he couldn't help but have the courage to reply: "Who bullied her?" It was just a joke. You're really, indiscriminately counting, what's going on? ”

As she spoke, she turned her face to Zhong Lingyu and said, "Yu'er, did you say that?" ”

Zhong Lingyu glanced at her lightly: "No." ”

"......" Chen was so choked by this sound that he almost lost his breath.

Kong's eleven-year-old daughter, Zhong Lingmei, couldn't help but laugh out loud. His sister Zhong Ling hurriedly reached out to cover her sister's mouth.

Mama Wu looked at Zhong Lingyu's gaze more and more appreciatively.

At this moment, there was a noise outside. Everyone looked out the window, but it was Zhong Deqing and Zhong Deting who sent Lang Zhong out.

Chen hesitated for a moment, did not greet everyone, quickly got up and went out, and went straight to the old lady's house.

Zhong Lingyu glanced at her and sat there motionless. Kong didn't move either. It was Zhuang, who stood up uneasily, as if he was going to follow him to visit the old lady.

"Mother, you sit down first, wait for the second and third uncles to come back and ask about the situation, and then go to greet your grandmother. Otherwise, everyone gathered around the bedside in a noisy, so as not to upset the grandmother. Zhong Lingyu softly dissuaded the Zhuang family.

When Zhuang heard this, he sat back again.

At this time, Zhong Deqing and Zhong Deting had come out of the house. Kong Shi got up and asked, "Xianggong, how is my mother's body?" ”

Zhong Deting glanced at Kong Shi and coughed lightly, but did not answer her words.

Zhong Deqing was about to open his mouth to reply for Zhong Deting, when he heard Chen shouting eagerly on the steps: "Xianggong, you come up, my mother has something to say to you." Hurry up, right away. He turned his head and saw Chen's face full of anxiety, waving at him again and again.

Zhong Deqing frowned, patted Zhong Deting's shoulder, lifted the placket, stepped out of the threshold, and walked up the steps quickly.

Zhuang's couldn't sit still now, and he stood up and was about to go out to have a look, but he was pulled by Kong's hand: "Sister-in-law, just sit down." The second sister-in-law has a private conversation to tell the second brother, it's not good for you to go. ”

Zhuang was embarrassed by this, and quickly sat down again.

Zhong Deting knew that his wife was not only saying this to Zhuang, but also to him, so he also stopped, walked into the side hall, found a chair and sat down, but kept silent about the old lady's condition.

"Dad, how is Grandmother?" Zhong Lingmei saw that her father didn't answer her mother's question just now, and she was a little dissatisfied, so she ran to Zhong Deting's side like a coquettish and asked.

Kong Shi hurriedly said: "Mei'er, come back, don't go to your father's trouble, he is tired and wants to rest for a while." ”

Zhong Deting glanced at his daughter, nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, Daddy is tired." ”

Zhong Lingmei pouted unhappily, ran back and sat down next to Zhong Lingru.

Chen and Zhong Deqing's private conversation didn't last long, and after a while, a maid came and invited everyone to come over and say that the old lady had woken up.

Zhong Lingyu helped Zhuang into the old lady's house, and saw the old lady wearing a forehead on her head, half lying on the bed, her face was similar to usual, but she squinted slightly, she didn't seem to have any energy, and she didn't know if it was pretending or what, and when she saw everyone coming in, she snorted twice in her nose.

Zhuang's was taught by his talented father to be virtuous and virtuous. At this time, seeing the old lady like this, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

The old lady glanced at her half-open, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's just a little cold." As he spoke, he took Zhuang's hand and patted her soothingly, "The boss is not blessed, and he left at a young age." You have to live a good life, and don't let him worry about it underground, and he won't be able to live in peace. ”

At the mention of her husband, Zhuang's tears immediately flowed, and she held the old lady's hand and wept silently.

Zhong Lingyu knew that Mrs. Zhong was acting in front of Mama Wu, but thinking of her father's care and love before his death, as well as all the hardships he had to face after his death, she was as strong as her, and her eyes were a little red, and for a while, almost everyone in the room wiped their eyes and tears, and cried non-stop.

Mama Wu has been standing quietly behind everyone, as if she is invisible.

After pretending to be a loving mother and acting enough of the drama of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhong seemed to find that there was an extra stranger in the house, and looked at Mama Wu: "This is ......"

Zhuang wiped his tears and introduced: "Old lady Hui, this is Mama Wu of the Sun family." ”

Mama Wu stepped forward to salute her.

Sun Xuewen and Mama Wu had arrived, and Mrs. Zhong had already known about it, and she was still angry that they didn't come to ask for peace. At this time, seeing that Mama Wu had to come to ask for peace for herself because of her second son's oppression of the big house, she was very proud.

However, she didn't dare to put on a score on her face, and said politely: "Old lady Sun and old lady have a heart." These days at home are busy, and I only care about my own sadness, and the hospitality is not good, if there is any neglect, please forgive one or two. ”

"The eldest lady arranged it very well, and there was nothing inconsiderate." Mama Wu's attitude was also very good, she didn't face Chen's aggressiveness at all, and her face showed concern, "I just heard that the old lady is not in good health, how are you now?" Nothing serious, right? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a little cold, don't worry, just drink a bowl of ginger soup and you'll be fine." The old lady said with a smile, "It's just that the children are making a fuss, and if they feel uncomfortable, they will invite Lang Zhong to make a fuss and let Mama Wu see the joke." ”

Her illness was originally pretended by Zhong Deqing, in order to prevent Zhong Lingyu from going to the tea garden. Just now, Zhong Deqing learned of Mama Wu's attitude, and he didn't dare to do too much, for fear of provoking the Sun family, so he hurriedly informed his mother and asked her to make her condition milder. Therefore, it was only after a while that Mrs. Zhong downplayed her condition.
