Chengjiang Mansion, Stone Fish Alley, Gu Lichi's private residence.

Because it was approaching the end of the year, Gu Lichi was not worried that the Chen family lived alone in the countryside Zhuangzi, so he called a few mothers-in-law to take the Chen family back from the countryside Zhuangzi.

In Gu Lichi's study, Chen sat on the soft couch in the study, using the dinner sent from the small kitchen, and the small table was full of dishes.

Seeing that Chen was eating extremely fast, Gu Lichi was worried that she was choking, so he hurriedly reminded.

"Meiniang, you eat slowly, no one will rob you. It's just that I lived in the countryside for a month, how can I come back like I haven't eaten a full meal for a few days and nights, if it's not enough, I will call my mother-in-law again, and go to the kitchen to make it for you. ”

Gu Lichi said this, but Chen Shi still swallowed like a wolf and a tiger as if he hadn't heard it, and the maid came up with a tea cup, and Chen quickly took it and sent it to his mouth.

Seeing that Chen Shi used up the dishes on the top of the small table, Chen Shi burped heavily, took the silk scarf handed by the maid, wiped his mouth lightly, and returned to Gu Lichi's words.

"Master, do you know how sad I am in the countryside these days? Your second brother and sister have bribed the steward of the country grange, and have tormented me by all means, and have been telling me to do this or that all day long. Master, I'm so miserable! I've had such a hard time these days! ”

As Chen spoke, his eyes gradually moistened, and he snuggled into Gu Lichi's arms, feeling the heat from Gu Lichi's chest.

"Meiniang, I know that you have suffered these days, but I don't know that the Liang family actually bought off the steward of the country grange and used all the methods to torture you, it was my negligence, it was my negligence."

As soon as Gu Lichi's voice fell, he hugged Chen more and more tightly.

"Master, I heard that the second master is not in the mansion now, just the Yang family and the Liang family, and those two women are in the mansion. Why don't you go and discuss with the Yang family again and take me into the house!" ”

"Even if she is a nominal concubine aunt, as long as she can be by the master's side, even if the eldest lady wants the concubine to do something, the concubine is willing to do it!" Chen was in Gu Lichi's arms, crying so much that Gu Lichi felt pity for a while.

Looking at Chen's tearful appearance, Gu Lichi finally relented.

"Meiniang, it's not that I don't want to take you into the house, it's just that now my mother and Sister Tang haven't come back from Pengpu, if I want to take you into the house, I'm afraid that I still have my mother's permission, if I don't have my mother's permission, it is Yang who agrees, and it is okay if my mother doesn't agree."

Hearing that Gu Lichi was still using that excuse, Chen suddenly became annoyed.

"Master, as long as you agree, the eldest lady agrees, even if the old lady disagrees, she has to agree."

"Master, now Brother Chang has not yet entered the family tree, and he is still a descendant of the Gu family! You just don't think about the concubine, you have to think about Brother Chang'er's future! ”

"Chang'er will go to school in the future, and he will inherit the foundation of Gu's family's house!"

Listening to what Chen said, even if Gu Lichi had his own idea before, he couldn't do it now.

Gu Lichi watched Chen's crying into tears, and listened to what she said about Brother Chang'er's future, Gu Lichi was heartbroken, and still wanted to enter the mansion, and then go to discuss with Yang.

Qingyu Lane Gu family, Hui Yuan.

Full Snow Garden, the name of the back garden of the Hui Garden, the peony flowers in the Jinran Full Snow Courtyard bloomed, and the steward of the flower room invited Liang to come over to see the appearance of the peony in full bloom.

Looking at the clusters of excellent peony flowers in the greenhouse, Liang, who had not smiled for a long time, also showed a faint smile on his face.

The steward of the flower room was called, and when she was about to ask questions, she saw a woman waiting in the front yard, and hurriedly walked to the conservatory, and Liang glanced at her, and ordered the maid to let her in.

"But what's going on? In such a hurry, there are no rules in the house. ”

The mother-in-law approached Liang's ear and whispered a few words.

"Madam, the Grange in the countryside has delivered a message that the eldest master has called someone to take away the outer room where he lives in the Grange. The steward of the Grange was worried that the outer chamber had come to the eldest master and said bad things about him, so he handed over the news. I'm going to ask my wife to call the shots and help him. ”

Out of the conservatory, Liang took the mother-in-law to the ear room next door to discuss things.

"You ask someone to bring a message to the steward, and say that I already know about it, and it is up to him what the steward should do. As long as the outer room doesn't enter the door for a day, after all, it's just an outer room that can't be on the table, let him relax, the lord is here, I have to find a way. ”

Listening to Liang's words, she has a way.

What can she do?

The mother-in-law secretly said in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

Liang looked at the mother-in-law who was waiting beside him, with a look of disbelief, and scolded sharply.

"Look at the way you look, don't you believe me? The steward of the Grange is a distant relative of you! If the outer room comes to the old man and says a few words to you, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat and go around. ”

The mother-in-law was speechless for a while, and she didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he still replied to Liang.

"Madame Mingjian, the old slave has no selfish intentions, the head of the grange where the old man is detained is indeed a distant relative of the old slave, but the old slave has rarely dealt with him, and please rest assured that the old slave is a person who distinguishes between public and private."

"If the eldest lord wants to blame the steward, the old slave will not say a few words in front of the eldest lord for him."

Seeing that mother-in-law said this, the Liang family gradually felt relieved, but in the end, what Gu Lichi wanted to do with the steward of the grange, for a while, she didn't know.

In Chengyuan, Wanghaixuan, Yang leaned on the soft pillow on the couch, using the gruel sent from the small kitchen, and the spring cicada served by Yang's side, serving Yang's cloth vegetables.

"Madam, I heard a report from the spies on the other side of Stonefish Alley, the outer room next to the master has been picked up by the master from the grange, and now he lives in the private house of Stonefish Alley. Do you want the slave to ask someone to come and see how to get rid of that outer chamber? ”

When the spring cicada fell, he was about to turn around and go out and tell this matter.

Before the spring cicada went out, Yang stopped her in time and said.

"Spring cicada, no! Now the people on the other side of Shiyu Alley are all the master's people, and if they send the people in our house to the past, they will be discovered by the master, and when the time comes, the master will blame him, but I'm afraid that even I won't be able to protect you little girls. ”

"That outer room is just to see that the lady is easy to bully, so he dared to occupy the master and not let the master come over. If I were to be a lady, I would never spare that outer chamber. ”
