When Xie Chuyao came to the old lady's courtyard, she happened to see her coaxing Xiaobao there, and the fifth lady was standing alone crying, and when she saw her coming, she quickly went over and took her hand and cried.

"Miss, how old are you saying that the general is now, and the old lady is still thinking about taking a concubine for him, you say, what kind of thing is this, this family has finally calmed down, does the old lady want to change back to the smoky days before?" The fifth lady said as she wiped her tears.

As soon as the old lady saw Xie Chuyao coming, her originally calm face finally improved a little, she motioned for her to come and sit down, and then handed Xiaobao to her, saying that it was really strange, as soon as Xiaobao was in her arms, she would stop crying immediately, and she also showed her a cute smile.

Xie Chuyao couldn't help but tease him, the toxins on this little guy's body had been removed, and now he was no different from an ordinary baby, but he looked much better and cuter.

"Don't think I'm bullying you, but look at it, what is you doing in this house now? You want to be in power, okay, I'll give you the right to be the master of the house, but look at your past month, which account is right? And those subordinates are complaining now, all because of your unfair treatment of the subordinates in your own courtyard and the subordinates in other courtyards, you say, can I not find someone to take care of this family for the general? "The old lady is also angry to come out, originally the power of the family is here, but the general who didn't know how to persuade the fifth lady some time ago took away the power in her hand, and took it away, anyway, she is old now, it is good to have someone to share the affairs of this family, but she has done this nonsense, can she not be in a hurry?

The fifth lady cried and wiped a handful of tears and said, "Old lady, this is also the first time I am in charge, can't you be more tolerant and tolerant?" What if this old man marries another man who doesn't know how to take care of the house? Now the general doesn't make a statement, her heart is really panicked, the usual strength is gone, after all these years, finally she is the only one left in this family, since the third lady was sent back to her parents' house a few days ago, she has become the only woman in the general's house, she finally no longer has to be angry for the sake of jealousy, and finally no longer has to pretend that she is very strong, but now the old lady wants to help the general take a concubine, how can she allow this to happen?

Xie Chuyao glanced at the fifth lady and said lightly: "Since this is the case, it is better for the fifth lady to hand over the right to be in charge, or continue to let the grandmother take care of the house, anyway, you can't control it." ”

The fifth lady didn't expect that she wanted to hand over power as soon as she came, so she pointed at her angrily and scolded: "Xie Chuyao, what do you mean? The right to be in charge of this house was handed over to me by the master, why did you let me hand it over! "This is what she has been grinding with the general for a long time to give her the right to be in charge, how can she hand it back at this time?

"Then you listen to your grandmother and ask her to find a wife who can take care of the house for her father, so what is there to be angry with the fifth aunt? It's just a two-choice question. Her voice was soft and faint, in fact, she didn't approve of her father's concubine in her heart, but seeing that these five ladies had made a mess in the house, she was also a little angry in her heart.

"What is called a two-choice question, I don't want such a two-choice question, old lady, I will definitely take care of the house, so please must not give the general a concubine, okay?" The fifth lady's tone was pitiful, and she looked like she was about to cry.

The old lady looked at her sad appearance, and her heart couldn't help but soften, she sighed and said, "But you manage this family like this, what can I do?" She actually doesn't want to care about these things, but she doesn't feel comfortable seeing this messy family every day!

Xie Chuyao glanced at the fifth lady, and saw that although her face was sad, but her eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation, she knew that in fact, she still had some little Jiujiu in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: "Grandmother, I think it's okay to take a concubine for my father, after all, there are only five ladies left in this family now, and sometimes I am afraid that I won't be able to take care of my father, and I have to find someone around me if there is a shortage of people." ”

When the fifth lady heard this, she hurriedly said: "Old lady, I think so, I am not capable enough to take care of the house now, why don't I return the right to be in charge of the house to you first, and wait until I learn how to manage the old lady in the future, and then hand over this power to me?" "She is dizzy when she hears the word concubine now, she can't make trouble for herself, so let's give up this right first.

The corners of Xie Chuyao's mouth curled slightly, then picked up Xiaobao and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go back first." "Shang Jingcheng is still waiting for him in the house, it's good that this matter is settled.

The old lady said: "Where are you in such a hurry, if you don't stay to eat with my old woman, you said that you can't see anyone all day long, I want to find you!" ”

"Grandmother, that ...... Shang Jingcheng is still in my room, can I come over to accompany you when I send him away?" She winked at her a little mischievously and smiled.

The old lady pulled her and said, "Hey, the fifth prince is here?" Then bring someone here, what are you still doing standing here? Bring it over for dinner! She looked at her with a look of hatred, and almost had to hire someone herself.

Xie Chuyao looked at her happy, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "Okay, okay, I'll go and invite him over to you, okay?" "It seems that the grandmother is very fond of this prospective grandson-in-law.

The old lady snatched the little treasure in her arms and said, "Let me hold the child, you go quickly." "It's not easy to see these five princes once, how can you not invite people here for a meal, the general is now in the school training ground, and he hasn't come back yet, otherwise he can sit together and talk well."

Xie Chuyao had no choice but to shake her head and leave with a smile.

As soon as the fifth lady heard that the five princes were coming, she thought that the old lady would definitely go to see it, but she didn't expect to bring people to her courtyard to eat, so should she leave or stay?

She glanced at the old lady's face, and saw that she had no intention of driving her away, so she sat there calmly, anyway, the old lady would not tell her to go and sit here.

When the old lady saw that Xiaobao was asleep, she gave it to the maid beside her, and told her to put him to sleep on the bed in the cubicle.

After a while, Xie Chuyao brought Shang Jingcheng and Xie Yunyi over,

"The old lady is well." Shang Jingcheng saluted the old lady, and he has always been polite to the old man. After the ceremony, he glanced at the fifth lady again, and also bowed to her slightly, "The fifth lady is safe." ”

When the fifth lady saw that the five princes actually saluted herself, she was so happy that she couldn't take it back, she quickly smiled and nodded and said, "Hey, the five princes are polite, the five princes are polite." "What a great honor it is for a prince to salute himself, lamenting that he does not have a son and a half daughter, if only he could have a daughter, he could marry into this rich and noble family like the eldest lady.

Thinking of this, her heart was full of envy.

The old lander stood up, she came to Shang Jingcheng, looked at him lovingly, and said, "It's good to come, it's noon now, so let's stay and have a light meal." "The more she looks at this grandson-in-law, the more she likes it.

Shang Jingcheng smiled faintly and said, "Okay." "Although there are many affairs in the palace, it is impossible for her to save her face when she eats at an old man's house.

Xie Chuyao glanced at him a little and asked, "This doesn't hinder your time, right?" "She's still quite concerned about his workload.

He shook his head, did not reply to her, but followed the old lady to the main hall, and he helped the old lady to sit down before coming to the next place to sit down.

"The Five Princes sit here." The old lady patted the position next to her, although her own age is there, there is nothing wrong with sitting on the top position, but after all, this is the fifth prince, and his status is noble, how can he let others sit in the first place?

Shang Jingcheng just shook his head, took Xie Chuyao's hand and said, "Old lady, I'll just sit with Yao'er." With that, he turned his head to her and smiled.

Xie Chuyao didn't expect this person to be blatantly crooked in front of the old man, her face couldn't help but be a little red, she glanced at him and wanted to pull her hand out, but he grabbed it tightly, and her face couldn't help but turn a little redder.

The old lady looked at the small interaction between them, and the smile on her face never stopped, and it could be seen that these two people really loved each other, which was really good, and she used to worry that the five princes would have a group of wives and concubines in the future, and she was also afraid that Yao'er would have a bad time, but now it seems that all this is just her own mediocrity and self-disturbance, these two people are fine.

"Yo, I see that the relationship between these five princes and the eldest lady is really good, but I envy others!" The fifth lady smiled while covering her mouth with a handkerchief, but the light in her eyes made her not look so sincere.

Shang Jingcheng just glanced at her lightly and didn't reply to her words, but the hand holding Xie Chuyao never let go.

The old lady glanced at the fifth lady and said, "Old five, don't be blindly envious here, the general treats you very well, isn't it?" Although his son fell in love with such a person in his life, he still passed away, but he took very good care of them in these rooms.

It's just that there are few people in this family now, hey, thinking about it, I still think it's better to give the general a good concubine!

"Old lady, you don't understand this, the daughter-in-law doesn't say that the general is bad, but there is still a gap compared to the deep affection of the five princes, that, the five princes will be as good to our eldest lady as ever if they open up their concubines when the time comes, right?" Although the fifth lady asked with a concerned look, the meaning of these words directly revealed her inner thoughts.

Didn't this eldest lady just say that she wanted the general to take a concubine? Then she has to see if these five princes are still the same as if they are so cheerful and generous.
