Most of the grievances in the world are past events that can't be sorted out and can't let go.

In the past, where there were so many intrigues in Baifu, the husband and wife of Lord Bai and Mrs. Bai were affectionate, the concubines kept to themselves, the subordinates were loyal and reliable, the family was harmonious and beautiful, and the business was also thriving, and soon became one of the best rich and noble families in a land.

Master Bai, who has countless family properties, has a big regret, that is, he is over half a hundred years old, but he does not have a son and daughter Cheng Huan. Somehow, Mrs. Bai's stomach has not moved, although Master Bai is anxious, but he sticks to the rule in his bones: the big room is the main room, and the first child must be born, whether it is a daughter or a son, the child born in the main room can inherit his property. Therefore, Mrs. Bai has no good news, and Master Bai holds his breath and does not go to the rooms of other concubines, and the concubines also know that they dare not act rashly because of the majesty of Mrs. Bai, and they are all honest, and even go to worship Guanyin, begging their eldest lady to conceive a child as soon as possible, otherwise they will have to wait until what year and month is the head?

I don't know if it is the son Guanyin really appeared, near the end of the year, Mrs. Bai, who has always been in good health, suddenly fainted, called the doctor to take a look, it turned out to be pregnant, it has been two months.

Now the white mansion is lively, plus the New Year, double happiness is coming, everyone is happy to celebrate the New Year, the people are also happy, the New Year's salary, the white master is happy, each person is more than ten taels of silver. The concubines are also happy, Mrs. Bai has good news, and now her body is not convenient, so which room the old man goes to rest in at night depends on their own abilities.

The concubines secretly calculated, Madame Bai has always been gentle and generous, even when the little maid reported these things to her, she smiled, turned a blind eye and didn't care, and let them toss.

But Master Bai is also a master who loves his wife, knowing that it is hard for a woman to conceive a child, for fear that Mrs. Bai will be in a bad mood and affect the fetus in the womb, so he thinks of a way to please Mrs. every day, and he personally guards the side at night, for fear that Mrs. will be inconvenient and people will not be able to serve well and there will be any accidents. For the small actions of the concubines, Master Bai could only ignore them, and his thoughts were all on Mrs. Bai and the child in her belly. Mrs. Bai was moved and sighed in her heart that she had not married the wrong person, but the concubines crumpled their veils one by one.

Such days until the day of Mrs. Bai's birth, people say that happiness is sad, happiness is sad, and Master Bai, who has been immersed in great joy, never expected that the tragedy would come so quickly.

"Master, master, no! Madame's blood collapsed, and she couldn't stop it at all! "The midwife is in a hurry, even though she has rich experience in delivering babies, but she has never seen such a dangerous situation, and she panicked all of a sudden, and she only knew that she was called a doctor.

Master Bai cares about Mrs. Bai, and cares more about the child, where can he take care of anything to avoid it, he promised a lot of money to invite no less than ten doctors, and after some treatment, he finally stopped the bleeding and saved the lives of Mrs. Bai and the child, with the help of the doctor, the child was born quickly, and it was still a boy.

Hearing that the midwife said that the mother and child were safe, Master Bai was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, and he was about to go to the house to see the child, but he was stopped by the doctor who helped give birth.

Master Bai was anxious, and couldn't help but scold: "What are you stopping me from?" ”

The doctor is a steady old man, although he knew that the news was not good, but he still couldn't bear to hide it, so he told him euphemistically: "Master Bai, this child is born without crying or making trouble, not even making a sound, and his eyes are not open, if he is not still breathing, I am afraid that it is similar to a dead baby, Xu is in the womb for too long and cannot be born for a long time, this child is bruised, and it is much lighter than ordinary children, I am afraid that it is not easy to feed." ”

"Nonsense!" As soon as Master Bai heard this, he was still angry, and he was directly angry, "My son has just been born, what nonsense are you talking about here?!" Someone's coming."

"Master, master will calm his anger first." It just so happened that Master Bai's second concubine came to see the situation and listened to what the doctor said, so she came out and stopped Master Bai, lest he hurt irrelevant others because of anger.

"What are you doing again!" Old Man Bai was angry and scolded angrily, "Whoever allowed you to come here, don't go out quickly!" ”

At that time, the second lady was just a concubine who kept to herself, but she was white and beautiful, and her body was slender, and she looked honest and had no sense of existence on weekdays, but she didn't think much about letting Master Bai go to her room to rest, but every time she was told that Master Bai was accompanying Mrs. Bai, otherwise she would have fallen asleep early in Mrs. Bai's room.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the second lady also hates, hates Master Bai's dedication, and hates Mrs. Bai for having a sole favor, and hates her for just wanting a child of her own, but she still has to lick her face to beg, and she can't ask for it.

She is not stupid, and of course she will not openly show her dissatisfaction, but who knows that once the seeds of sin have sprouted, it will not be easy to uproot them.

"Master, what the doctor said is not wrong, you calm your anger first, think about it, if the eldest lady gave birth to this son, really, what is the problem? It's okay if you can't see anything when you're young, but if you grow up and let people know that the eldest son in our Bai Mansion is a fool, and if you spread it, wouldn't it become a joke? Again"

"Nonsense!"

Master Bai was so angry that he was so excited that he sat directly on the chair next to him, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and he pointed at the doctor and the concubine speechlessly.

Everyone knows what this child means to Master Bai, it is not easy to get a child in old age, and Mrs. Bai almost died in order to give birth to this child, it is not easy, but now she is told that this child is very likely to be a fool, and even if it is not, it is very likely to die early.

This is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the blue, burning all the hopes of Master Bai cleanly, and there is not even any slag left.

The room was extremely quiet for a while.

After a long time, there was a heavy wheezing sound from Master Bai, and after coughing for a while, he said, "Bring that child over." ”

The concubine stood still, and the doctor quietly retreated.

After a while, the doctor brought the child, but Master Bai didn't even look at it, waved his hand, and instructed the concubine: "This child was born a dead baby, unlucky, in order not to make Mrs. sad, hurry up and bury him." ”

The concubine took the child, answered in a low voice, and quietly retreated.

The moment the child was carried out, Master Bai seemed to have lost all his strength, completely collapsed in the chair, panting with some difficulty, and then closed his eyes, and a line of muddy tears slid down silently.

It seems that there is some kind of persistence, and at this moment, it will fall apart silently.

Madame Bai went through life and death but gave birth to a dead baby, which was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Madame Bai. How can a mother accept such a reality?

But everyone told her that the child died at birth and had been buried.

Madame White is crazy.

Regardless of the maid's obstruction, she insisted on going out of the house to find her child, and whoever stopped her would be beaten. When a woman has a complete outburst, the power is terrifying. Mrs. Bai was already delirious, even if the subordinates wanted to stop her, they didn't dare to do it, and even made trouble in the ears of Master Bai, who came to stop her in person, and was also slapped twice, and her face was scratched with a few conspicuous marks.

The lady of the house is crazy like this, and accidentally spreads it, so where will his face go?

Master Bai felt guilty about Mrs. Bai in his heart, he knew that it was a bit selfish to dispose of the child without her consent, and without even discussing it with her, but those guiltes would not last long, the beautiful concubine's ears were blowing badly, and Mrs. Bai was always crazy and refused to accept treatment, and the little guilt in his heart had long been consumed.

So Master Bai ordered that Mrs. Bai be placed under house arrest in her original yard, leaving only a few personal maids to serve, and three meals a day were to be sent in on time, and Mrs. Bai was not allowed to step out of the yard for half a step, and even the maids who stayed to serve could not leave the yard.

Mrs. Bai was under house arrest, and the power of the family was temporarily lost, and the concubines stared at the seal in Master Bai's hand one by one, and they all tried their best to fight.

But Master Bai didn't even think about it, and directly handed over the power of the family to the second concubine, and then went to her every night to rest.

The other concubines hated their red eyes, but they couldn't stand the fact that the concubines in the second room would be able to behave, and a gift would at least dissipate the anger of most of the people. Master Bai values her ability again, and even sometimes discusses business matters with her. So it didn't take long for the entire Bai Mansion to accept a reality: now the second concubine is the dominant family, and it is difficult to say when Mrs. Bai will get better, let alone whether she can regain the power of the family even if she gets better. At present, whoever wins the favor of the concubine in the second room, then whoever can live comfortably in the house, even if he learns to walk sideways, no one dares to say a word.

So the people of Baifu began to consciously change their names and call the second aunt the second lady.

Not long after, the second aunt came out with the good news that she was pregnant, and Master Bai was happy, so he simply lifted her to make a side room, so the concubine in the second room really became the second lady in the right name.

The day after the second lady's happy event spread to Mrs. Bai's yard, there was a fire in Mrs. Bai's yard.

After all, Master Bai still cares about his wife very much, as soon as he heard that something was wrong, he hurried to rush there, but fortunately the fire was not big, and it was extinguished in time, and the loss was not big.

However, Mrs. Bai was frightened, and when she saw Master Bai coming, she cried and shouted Lin Lang and threw herself into his arms.

Master Bai was shocked, the title of "Lin Lang" was only Mrs. Bai who liked to call him that way in private, and since Mrs. Bai went insane, no one had shouted it again.

Mrs. Bai returned to normal, and Master Bai was overjoyed, and directly carried the person back to his room and kept warm all night.

The people all say that this is the reward for the good deeds done by Mrs. Bai, and she can recover by herself if she has madness, what is this not a good reward? Although there was a sudden fire in the yard, Madame Bai was frightened, but it was a blessing in disguise.

But probably only the second lady herself knows that the struggle between her and Mrs. Bai has just begun.
