Chapter 43: The Ye family turned their faces
The old lady's complexion today was better than the day before, and Bai Jinghong felt strange as soon as she came in, and subconsciously went to look for the pot of orchids, but found that the place where the orchids were placed in the past had been replaced by a pot of other flowers and plants.
Her heart sank.
Ye served tea to the old lady as always, and the old lady glanced at her hands that were still bruised, and asked, "Are your hands still good?" ”
Ye shivered, and the tea spilled out.
"Alright, let's put it down." The old lady took the tea and stopped talking.
Ye retreated, almost dying of hatred. She didn't know how long it would take for her hands to get better, she couldn't lift heavy objects now, and she felt ashamed when she saw her hands.
She glared at Hakuzuru and didn't hide her hatred at all. But Bai Heran gave her a mocking smile, with a touch of provocation.
Ye almost couldn't help but have a seizure, but at this time, a maid outside the hall came to report: "Someone from Ye Mansion said that he wanted to see the second lady." ”
Ye stood up suddenly, and the joy on his face could not be hidden. She really came whatever she wanted, the Bai family bullied her so much, and now that her mother's family is here, someone finally supports her.
She glanced at the old lady proudly, and at the same time said, "Invite someone in." ”
The maid leaned over her, but her inquiring gaze turned to the old lady. The old lady said helplessly: "Please come in!" ”
At this time, someone from Ye Mansion came, presumably the Ye family handed over the words to his mother's family behind his back, and the people of Ye Mansion came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
The old lady looked at Bai Heran with some concern, but saw that Bai Heran shook her head slowly at her, with a sly smile on her face. The old lady was stunned, couldn't it be what she thought?
Bai Jinghong also breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile overflowed on his face again, "I don't know if the eldest uncle is here, the second uncle is here, or the two uncles are here together?" I haven't seen my uncles for a long time, and I miss them very much. ”
Bai Huayan hurriedly followed: "I miss my uncle so much." ”
Ye smiled and said to them: "Uncle has loved you since you were a child, and I don't want you to suffer the slightest grievance, if you don't go back to visit, they will naturally come to see you." ”
Bai Zhenzhen's body deviated, leaned over to Bai Heran, and whispered: "The Ye family can't do anything else, so they will go to the palace to complain, and each one is more unreasonable than the other." If I really came to support them today, there was a good fight. ”
Bai Heran smiled and asked her, "Are you afraid?" ”
Bai Zhenzhen snorted, "If you have the ability, you will kill me, as long as you can't kill them, I won't let them be happy for a day." ”
While talking, the maid of Jinrong Temple led an old woman in. Bai Heran raised his eyebrows, "The show has begun." ”
Ye Shi looked at the person who came in and was stunned, pondered for a while, and sat back in the chair silently. Bai Jinghong also tightened the handkerchief in his hand, looking puzzled.
Bai Huayan shouted out in a loud voice: "Mama Wan? Didn't you say that my uncle was here? What about people? ”
Ye Shi turned around and glared at her fiercely, and Bai Huayan immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to squeak. Bai Jinghong whispered: "Mother, why is she here?" Ye doesn't know why this mother-in-law came, this old lady was the close maid of the current Queen Mother when she was young, and even entered the palace with the Queen Mother, and stayed in the palace until she was almost sixty years old before being released. After leaving the palace, he entered the Ye family under the arrangement of the old queen mother, and has been following the Ye family
Old.
It can be said that this person's status in the Ye family is very special, although she is a slave, but because she and the Queen Mother have grown up together, no one dares to really treat her as a slave.
Ye Shi looked at this Wan Mama and his mind was full of thoughts. I heard that last year, her second brother assigned this ten thousand grandmothers to serve his favorite concubine, it seems that the concubine recently gave birth to a concubine, this old woman is not waiting for the master in the Ye family, what are you doing in the Wenguo Mansion?
The person who came in saluted the old lady and said with a straight face: "The old slave greets the old lady Bai." ”
The old lady was stunned again, and then hurriedly said, "It's the Ye family's Wan Mama, right?" In the past, I rarely walked around to us, but this time I came to the house, but there was something wrong? ”
The old woman nodded, "Back to the old lady's words, there is indeed something, but this matter is to be asked to our aunt and grandmother." ”
The aunt and grandmother in her mouth are naturally the Ye family, the old lady is a little unhappy, and she doesn't care how the Ye family is called when she returns to her parents' house, but in the Bai Mansion, the Ye family still insists on calling her aunt and grandmother, which is a bit of a shame for the Wenguo Mansion.
She was about to say something, but she saw Bai Heran shaking her head at her again, as if she didn't want to care. The old lady was puzzled, but she still subconsciously chose to listen to Bai Heran's words.
At this time, Mama Wan took the initiative to change her words, "Maybe you shouldn't be called Grandma, you should be called your second lady." First, this is the Wenguo Mansion, and secondly, now the second lady is afraid that she no longer takes the Ye family in her eyes, right? ”
"What did you say?" Ye was so shocked that he almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. She asked Bai Jinghong, "Did you hear that?" What did she just say? ”
Bai Jinghong's face was also pale at this time, and the gap between her expectations and reality was too big, so big that she didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
When Xiao Ye was relatively calm, she took the initiative to open her mouth and asked the mother-in-law who came to the door: "I don't know why Mama Wan said such a thing, but what is the misunderstanding?" It's better to go to Fuxi Temple with the second lady, they are all a family, and if there is any misunderstanding, it will be over. ”
Bai Jinghong squeezed Ye's hand, nodded slightly at her, and motioned for her to do what Xiao Ye said.
Ye Shi also reacted, and quickly answered: "Yes, if there is anything to say with me to Fuxi Courtyard, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Na Wan Mama glanced at Ye's family, didn't say anything, and agreed.
The Ye family just breathed a sigh of relief, but how could Bai Heran let her go so easily? So, a voice that Ye didn't want to hear the most was raised with a bit of laziness: "The door is a guest, and the guests have already arrived in front of the grandmother, how can there be a reason to be a daughter-in-law and bring it back to be entertained." What's more, listening to what this grandmother means, it seems to be in our house
The second lady had some complaints. Since you called the second lady, then this matter is inseparable from our Wenguo Mansion, and the matter of the Wenguo Mansion cannot be brought back by the second lady to settle it privately, and we have to discuss it together on the bright side. Grandmother, do you say yes? ”
The old lady nodded, "That's true. She was also curious, why did the people of the Ye family suddenly come and say such a thing to the Ye family? This posture seems to have come to Xingshi to ask for sin.
The old lady nodded, and the Ye family completely lost the opportunity to take people away. She clenched her fists unwillingly, her anger burning, and her nails were dug into her flesh. Mama Wan looked indifferent, just looked at Bai Heran meaningfully for a while, then turned around and didn't prepare to leave again, and at the same time opened her mouth and said: "It's the same everywhere, the old slave came over today to ask the second lady, what were the gifts that I sent to Yefu yesterday."
Meaning? Although he was born as a concubine, he was also the second master's favorite concubine. If you don't wait to see it, it's over if you don't pay attention to it, why do you still want to be humiliated? ”
The Ye family was confused, "What ceremony?" I know that the second brother's concubine has a child, but she is only a concubine, and she is not qualified to accept my gift. Mama Wan's old face became even more gloomy, "You're right, just a concubine, you can't get into the eyes of the second lady of the dignified Wenguo Mansion." But just as you said, the concubine is not qualified to receive your gift, so if you don't give it, why do you send those cheap things to humiliate? That's the Ye family
Bloodline, no matter how humble you are, you can't be trampled on like this. ”
Ye's heart trembled, she really couldn't afford to take too much of a posture against this Mama Wan. In case this old woman is interested in going to the palace to see the queen mother one day, just mention such a sentence, and my aunt is afraid that she will not give her a good color.
Although she is a niece, she can't withstand the decades-long deep palace companionship of this grandmother. Her aunt was able to survive to the end and survive to the position of the queen mother, and the credit of this mother is not small.
Thinking of this, Ye had to suppress the anger in his heart. Today, her second brother Ye Chengming sent Mama Wan over, which shows that he is really angry and is about to ask her for an explanation.
But she is really wronged, how to explain this desire to add to the crime? When did she send a gift to Ye Mansion?
When Bai Jinghong saw his mother's appearance, he knew that there must be something here, so he asked, "I don't know what kind of gift my mother gave to Ye Mansion?" ”
"Hmph." Mama Wan said sharply: "A basket of eggs, two feet of red cloth, a bag of snacks, and five meat buns." ”
Burst!
The Bai family present laughed when they heard this, this is too shabby, even if they are concubines, they can't send these! After all, Ye Fu's disciples are there, isn't it deliberately disgusting to send these? Bai Zhenzhen smiled the most unvividly, and a mouthful of tea in her mouth squirted out. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve while laughing at Ye Shi and said, "My dear mother-in-law, I really misunderstood you in the past, I thought you were just bad for our family, it turns out that you did the same to your own family."
Ruthless? Hahahaha! ”
The Hong clan also giggled without any scruples, laughing and laughing at the same time: "Second lady, are you out of money?" Why, this month's public high school is empty again? No, it's only the middle of the month, where did you get all the money? "Aunt Hong." Bai Jinghong couldn't listen to it anymore, she stood up, brewed hard, and a pool of tears came to her eyes. "Aunt Hong is just-for-tat with her mother everywhere on weekdays, and her mother said that behind closed doors, they are all a family, and their own family members don't care about their own families. But now there is
Outsiders are here, can't you be more restrained? You should always take care of the face of our Wenguo Mansion. ”
The Hong family glanced at her, and then replied: "If you don't have a face, you will say that you have no face, and what will you say about the Wenguo Mansion." When someone gives birth to a son, you give people red cloth and buns, which makes the Wenguo Mansion have face? ”
"You-" Bai Jinghong was speechless, she really didn't know what to say, she was also wondering in her heart at this time whether the Ye family really sent something like that, after all, her mother secretly had some complaints about the second uncle. For a moment, the hall fell silent. But after a while, Bai Heran pondered and opened his mouth again......
