When I came to Zhen's residence, I happened to see my daughter-in-law Jiang coming in from outside with a maid. Helian Haoran said hello to him, and then walked into the main house with the Jiang family.

Zhen had already arranged a number of things, and suddenly saw her husband and daughter-in-law come in together, and she was surprised and a little unexpected. But in a hurry, he didn't have time to give another order, so he had to step forward and said with a smile: "The master rarely comes back at this point, why is it rare to be free today?" Did you come with your daughter-in-law? ”

Helian Haoran still gave his wife enough dignity in front of his daughter-in-law, and replied with a smile: "Well, I just bumped into it in your yard, so I asked her to come in together." It's rare to have leisure today, so I want to come back to accompany you. By the way, this tea smells so good, is it intended for my daughter-in-law? ”

Looking at the pot of "added" flower tea, Zhen sighed in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, this tea is made with roses newly picked this year and red dates and wolfberries. It's just that you're not suitable, master, or the concubine will ask someone to make another pot of dragon well for you? ”

"Well, just look at the arrangement. By the way, I remember that you embroidered a few handkerchiefs for me a few days ago, so take them out and show them to me while you're fine. The rest of the embroidery, I always feel that it is not as good as yours. ”

Zhen's face was very bright when he heard this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, the concubine will go and get it." ”

With that, Zhen turned his head and walked into his room. Helian Haoran looked at the teacup in front of his daughter-in-law who was sitting at the bottom of the head, and then looked at the teacup in front of his wife, his heart moved, and he casually saw a piece of jade pendant on his waist untie it, and said: "Oh, these people are getting more and more unfavorable, why did my jade pendant fall off?" ”

The daughter-in-law Jiang hurriedly said, "Master, the daughter-in-law will help you pick it up." ”

Taking advantage of this moment, Helian Haoran quietly swapped the two cups, took the jade pendant handed by his daughter-in-law, and continued to sit down.

After sitting in his wife's room for a while, and seeing his daughter-in-law drink two cups of tea and leave, Helian Haoran paced to the backyard to prepare to wash and change clothes. After taking a bath, I heard that my wife was unwell. The people were busy making a mess and running around the room.

He knew it in his heart, and he secretly shook his head and frowned, and his wife was really getting less and less square in his heart. It seems that I really can't leave all these chores in the backyard behind.

After walking in, I saw Zhen sitting on the couch with a pale face, holding his stomach with one hand and humming and chirping. Seeing him coming, he endured the pain again, and smiled reluctantly: "I told the master to see the joke, and the concubine suddenly felt a little unhappy on her body." Or, will the master go to Aunt Shen's side to rest tonight? ”

Helian Haoran nodded a little indifferently, and said casually: "Then it doesn't matter if you want it?" Do you want someone to come in and have a doctor? But did you eat anything? ”

Zhen knew in his heart that most of the time he dug a pit and buried people, but he buried himself. Then he gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, the concubine is fine." Sir, you've been busy all day, so let's go and rest early! ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the study to rest first."

After speaking, Helian Haoran shook his head and walked out of Zhen's room. When I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I heard Zhen's shouting: "Oh, no, someone hurry up and help me to the clean room ....... behind."

After a few tosses, the people who had been pulled by the Zhen family were about to collapse. She snuggled up to the two mothers-in-law with weakness and trembling, gritted her teeth and said with hatred: "What the hell is going on? Didn't she tell you to put the laxative in her cup? ”

"Yes, madam, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the slave maid who put it herself. In the cup in front of the young lady, there is the ...... of croton powder."

"So what's going on now? Here, go and inquire, is there anything unusual after the young lady goes back? ”

After the person sent to inquire about the news came back to return, Zhen was sure that he had lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot this time. However, what she couldn't understand was that how could it be so good that the teacup in front of her daughter-in-law ended up in her mouth? The people around me know best, if you say this little thing, you will be wrong, and you can't use it for a long time.

Thinking of her husband's sudden arrival, as well as the coincidence of several things, Zhen's heart was even more uneasy. In this way, she continued to run to the clean room while she was frightened that night. It only pulls the individual to the point where the shape is erect and almost dehydrated.

After dawn, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, and after calling the doctor to come in and look at it, he said that he had eaten the wrong and unclean thing, and prescribed two doses of medicine, so that she could rest and recuperate for a period of time, and avoid eating raw and spicy food.

In this way, Helian Haoran finally breathed a sigh of relief. He secretly instructed the confidants around his mother that in the future, the old lady's decoction could no longer pass through the eldest lady's hands. On the other hand, he secretly recuperated his mother's body, only hoping that his mother could get better day by day.

On the Song Mansion's side, Song Siwen's funeral affairs were extremely glorious. Zhu Xiaoyan felt guilty in her heart, and secondly, she also felt that her son could not die in vain, that is, he died, and there should be some decent pomp and circumstance at the bottom.

When I was halfway through, I looked at the accounts, good guy, I actually spent nearly 20,000 taels in two days, and I felt a little uneasy. I also called the person who helped me deal with the money from the outside to ask, and when I learned that the monthly cases were running normally, I was relieved.

Because of the death of his son, Song Shi'an rarely came home early in the past two days. It's just that I don't know why, every time he sees Zhu Xiaoyan, he thinks of those disgusting locusts and the indescribable stench.

Although Chen's mother drove the leeches out of her body later, and the stench gradually disappeared, he still felt numb and cold in his heart. In such a situation, let alone asking him to sleep in the same bed with Zhu Xiaoyan at night, even if he asked him to sit next to her, he felt more or less terrified in his heart.

But what made Song Shi even more restless was the coquettish Jia Ning. Speaking of which, over the years, he has seen a lot of so-called beauties. In his backyard, not only do he have five or six aunts, but he has also played a lot with these pink-headed Oiran outside.

It's just that it's rare to meet a character like Jia Ning who is as knowledgeable and interesting, and has a good face and singing and songwriting, and on a whim, he can't help but invest a little bit of emotion into it. After greeting the old lady and saying that he was going to marry Jia Ning and enter the door, he also put some thought into the new house for the first time.

Not only did he tell the housekeeper to make good use of all the facilities, but he also had a hard time asking about the flowers and trees in the courtyard outside. She also personally picked up the pen and wrote a plaque for her yard, which was called Jiahua Courtyard.

It's just that because his son has just passed away, he can't marry the beauty as scheduled, so he can only comfort Jia Ning and let her wait for her in Mingyue Tower with peace of mind.

Such a move, looking at Zhu Xiaoyan's eyes, was even more of a violent throbbing pain in his heart. She knew that her position in Song Shi'an's mind was not as good as before, if she hadn't lost her son this time, she was afraid that even the right of the housekeeper would be taken away.

For today's plan, she has to wake up her spirit and deal with this newcomer who is about to enter the door. As for her son, she also has the smartest and most stable eldest son, Song Siyi, who is now the heaviest bargaining chip in her hand. As long as she masters it well, she believes that she can still sit in this position.

On this day, after Song Shi'an went down to court, he didn't want to go home and look at the white plain flags hanging everywhere, and he didn't want to see Zhu Xiaoyan's old face that had long faded, and the aunts in the backyard were also unbearable, and they were itching in their hearts, so they ordered someone to drive the carriage to the door of the backyard of Mingyue Tower.

didn't say hello to Jia Ning in advance, so he walked in, and while walking, he weighed the jewel necklace he was holding in his hand, thinking about how to give her an unexpected surprise after seeing the beauty for a while.

It's just that as soon as he walked to the door of the courtyard where Jia Ning lived, he saw someone walking past him in a panic. As he walked, he turned his head and turned around, looking like he was holding his head and running through the mouse.

Song Shi was a little surprised, and then looked up and saw a bunch of things thrown down from the upstairs, Jia Ning stood upstairs with her maid, and said angrily: "Take all these things from your master to me, this girl said, this girl is no longer a guest." If he dares to come here to harass this girl again, this girl will tell Master Zuo Xiang and let him treat your master, a faceless and skinless pervert! ”

Song Shi'an had already understood at this time, it was about some kind of benefactor from Jia Ning's past, and at this time, he sent someone to send her something over to ask for a kiss on Fang Ze. He was proud and a little jealous in his heart, so he shouted to the subordinate who had already run away: "Hurry up!" If I let my face see you again, I won't be able to spare your dog's life! ”

"My lord! When did you marry a concubine? You see, these people are like bees now, surrounding their concubines all day long. The concubine has already released her words now, saying that she is under the curtain to thank the guests, just waiting for the adult to marry the concubine. But these people just don't give up, no, just today, the concubine body has already dealt with the Sancha people.......".

Seeing the beautiful pear blossom with rain and a very aggrieved appearance, Song Shi hurriedly comforted him with a warm word. He added, "Who sent someone to deliver something just now?" I sent someone to help you send him away, and I will never dare to harass you again. ”

Jia Ning snorted, and before she could speak, the maid Qiaocui beside her said quickly: "Who else?" Isn't that the eldest son of the Sheng Mansion? Hum! Shameless and skinless, write some crooked poems and bad songs to our young lady all day long, and then send someone to send something that can't be put on the table. Our young lady has never looked at him, and she has rejected him many times, but he still has a face, and after hearing that the young lady is going to marry an adult, she still said something A flower was inserted in the cow ........"

"Qiaocui! I have presumptuous you, in front of adults, what do you dare to say about these fanatics? ”

After Jia Ning drank the maid, she took Song Shi'an's hand and said, "My lord, you have every opportunity, don't pay attention to these gossips." In short, Jia Ning just said, since I personally promised to stay with the adult, I will never disappoint the adult. Come, let's go in and talk! ”

With that, the two of them walked into the inner room under the service of the maid. It's just that Song Shi's anger in peace of mind can't be suppressed, he is now at this age, his status and reputation are gone, and he also has the leisure to come out to ask for pleasure, but the biggest taboo is age. Especially for a child of a family like Sheng Chonghua, in front of a young and beautiful woman like Jia Ning, his conceit is more and more intolerable to anyone to provoke.

Jia Ning looked at Song Shi'an's face, and after some warmth, she asked Song Shi'an when she would be able to pick her up.

Song Shi'an was comfortably served, and his guard was also relaxed, so he closed his eyes and replied: "Wait a little longer, my son has just passed away, so I can't help but avoid saying something, right?" Besides, once such a thing gets out, it will be very bad for you in the future. Be good, let me slow down, don't worry, I will not break my word. ”

When Jia Ning heard this, she wiped the corners of her eyes very aggrievedly, and said, "I believe in you, my lord, but these days, people outside say that the second lady in your house is a first-class powerful person. Now that the concubine has heard a lot of such rumors, she will naturally worry about whether her sister can't tolerate me, so she has postponed the days again and again. I know that my sister has given birth to several children for your adult, and her hard work is high, and her concubine body cannot be compared with her. However, the concubine's sincerity to you is also true.....".

Hearing Jia Ning mention Zhu Xiaoyan, Song Shi'an was a little impatient. He interrupted her and said, "She? Rest assured, she only climbed to where she is today thanks to me. I have already told her that if she dares to embarrass you after you pass through the door in the future, I will not be able to spare her. Okay, baby, don't worry about that, just take my word for it. You don't want to think about it, who am you man? Not to mention in the Song Mansion, even in the court, as long as someone in my Song stomps his feet, the Jinluan Palace will also tremble. ”

When Jia Ning heard this, she snuggled into his arms with a half-truth, and said coquettishly: "Well, if the master can say that, Jia Ning will naturally be relieved." ”

When I came back from Jianing's side, it was already late. Song Shi'an was still thinking about Sheng Chonghua's residual anger at snatching a woman with him, and remembered the worrying piece of meat in Zilan's stomach, so he walked to the Chunhua Courtyard, and the mother-in-law guarding the door was just about to pass the word, when he saw Song Shi'an waving his hand at him, and then quietly walked in.

In the main room, Zhu Xiaoyan was bitterly persuading her daughter Song Zilan, half begging and half angrily reprimanding: "Lan'er, you listen to your mother this time, since this Sheng Zhong Chinese has bad character, Mrs. Sheng's attitude is so ambiguous, you are a big girl, and your father is now a figure with a head and a face in the court." You say, what kind of in-laws do you want to look for in the future? Why do you have to rush to wronged yourself? ”

"Mother! I've already told you, I like Hualang! He was very good to me, just because he couldn't dissolve the marriage now, plus his weird mother...... Besides, the daughter now even has his child, and this marriage is even the request of the dead daughter. Otherwise, the daughter would rather die! ”

Zhu Xiaoyan saw that her daughter was going to die and live to threaten herself at every turn, and she was also very angry, so she pointed to her daughter's head and poked: "You are a dead girl, you will only be in the nest all day long!" You have the ability to be arrogant in front of your mother and me, why don't you have the ability to control your flowery lover? I've heard that now he not only has a few beautiful girls in his backyard, but also often wanders around the flower buildings in the city recently. Such a man, I'm afraid that after you marry in the future, you will not be able to control him! ”

When Song Zilan heard this, her voice suddenly raised, and she said sharply in annoyance: "Mother! Where did you hear all these words? It's all unsubstantiated words, so you can believe it? I know that he has a few girls in his backyard, but who doesn't have such a person in a big family? Even if it's a father, don't you have several aunts? If it weren't for the timely death of the second brother, I am afraid that Jia Ning would have been carried into the door by his father in a sedan chair long ago! As for the girls in the flower building outside, those people are all acting on the spot, Hua Lang personally told me, they are all friends and friends, if everyone else is called, he doesn't call, how do you let him go out to socialize? Hum! I'm not the jealous woman who waits for a small belly, in the future, don't use it to persuade me, I won't listen to a word. ”

"Y-you, you damn girl! For the sake of a man, you can contradict your wife like this! Tell me, what did I do in my previous life? In this life, I have to pay off the debts of your countless children! ”

Zhu Xiaoyan said, and couldn't help crying. Song Zilan didn't appreciate it at all, and pouted and sneered: "You don't have to pretend in front of me, you know best in your heart, if you don't rely on the death of your second brother this time, where can you continue to hold the power of this housekeeper?" Therefore, you had better find a way for me to marry quickly, we will marry a good in-law, and it will be a great help for you in the future. You are a smart man, and you don't need your daughter to teach you these truths. Hasn't Mrs. Sheng always been good friends with you? In a few days, you will visit her in person and see if there is any other way to let the dead girl leave her ...... sooner."

Song Shi'an listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, shook his head and frowned and walked in. Zhu Xiaoyan was unsure that he would walk in silently at this time, and after being shocked, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "The master is back?" The concubine is going to make you tea to ......".

"No, you go down first, I have a few words I want to say to Lan'er."

Song Shi'an sat down in front of his daughter with a cold face. looked at her daughter's unformed belly and asked, "What are you going to do with this piece of meat in your belly?" Until now, the Sheng family has not said anything accurately. If you can't handle Sheng Chonghua's kid, you will simply take this piece of meat, and at that time, I will have my own way to make Sheng Fu beg you in a low voice! ”

Song Zilan faced her father, but she didn't dare to be coquettish like Zhu Xiaoyan. She replied a little timidly: "Daddy, my daughter knows that you love your daughter, but now her daughter is already his, this child ...... The daughter was really reluctant to take it away. Besides, didn't Sheng Fu say anything either? I just ask my father to open his mouth and let the eldest sister withdraw from the marriage. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

Song Shi'an snorted coldly, looking like he was out of the way, and only said: "What you said is so easy, if it is really so easy, your mother has been tossing for so long, why can't she settle things for you?" Besides, now this marriage is no longer about your big sister, and Helian's family will not sit idly by. If there is no valid reason, even if the big girl opens her mouth, Helian's family will also hold on to this matter. ”

When Song Zilan heard this, she begged a little aggrieved: "Daddy, you are now a Zuo Xiang, just a Helian family, where do you dare to argue with you?" Besides, big sister, she is also your daughter, you have orders, does she dare to disobey you? You discipline your own daughter, what are the people of Helian meddling? If the eldest sister dares to report to the other side, isn't it a disloyal and unfilial person? ”

Song Zilan only cared about directing the fire to Zichu, but she didn't want to, just when Song Shi'an grabbed the handle, and asked, "Then what if Daddy insists on letting you take this child?" Will you also uphold filial piety and obey your words? ”

"It's ....... Daddy ......". Song Zilan was asked about the lack of words, and she didn't dare to nod her head, let alone say anything to anger Song Shi'an. Seeing this, Song Shi'an knew that his daughter was raised for nothing.

He has always been cold and affectionate to his children, even his two sons, and for him he is only the one who inherits the incense, as for these daughters? Since he was born, he hasn't seen it very seriously. Anyway, it's all the water spilled by the daughter who got married, and since this money-losing goods don't listen to their own words, then they don't have to think about the father-daughter relationship. Just look at whether this kid surnamed Sheng is obedient or not, if he is not obedient, hum....... Don't blame him for being ruthless.

Song Shi'an was determined in his heart, and he didn't bother to talk to Song Zilan anymore, so he walked straight away.

Zhu Xiaoyan waited at the door nervously, and it was easy to see her husband coming out of it, but his face was frosty. I didn't pay attention to myself, so I left directly.

After coming in, she will inevitably complain to her daughter: "What did you just say to your father? Why did he leave with an unhappy face? ”

Song Zilan was also a second monk who was confused, so she repeated Song Shi'an's words to her mother. Hearing that her husband was quite dissatisfied with the Sheng Mansion between her words, Zhu Xiaoyan made a clever guess: "Could it be that your father has some contradiction with Sheng in the court?" Most of the things between men are caused by official affairs. Otherwise, how could your father advocate that you get rid of the child for no reason? ”

Song Zilan was scared in her heart, and her brain was a little confused when she was afraid, so she took her mother's hand and begged, "Then what should I do?" Mother, hurry up and find Mrs. Sheng tomorrow! The daughter doesn't want to take out the child, besides, if the child is removed, how will the daughter enter the door of the Sheng Mansion in the future? ”

Zhu Xiaoyan said fiercely before, but when facing this daughter, there was no way at all. can only comfort: "Don't worry, haven't you figured this out yet?" But at such a time, it is inconvenient for my mother to go out to visit. Even if she goes, Mrs. Sheng may not meet her mother. On your side, you can ask Sheng Chonghua out, and take this child to blackmail him, and see what he says? ”

Song Zilan didn't know the bottom in her heart, so she could only hesitate: "Can this work?" Hua Lang he ...... He didn't like women to blackmail him or something......."

"Humph! He still doesn't like us to blackmail him? Well, you don't have to do anything, just go and get rid of the baby! ”

Seeing her mother's unaccommodating attitude, Song Zilan's mind was confused, and she hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, I'll let someone inform him." ”

After seeing her daughter walk out of her room, Zhu Xiaoyan sighed worriedly. She sat down at the table, spread out the account book in front of her, and took a deep breath before she could barely pick up her pen.
