Body Chapter 52: Layout 4
Li Si's family was overjoyed, and he raised his voice again, and said angrily: "It's not too late to explain the truth!" What did you say when you went to see the prince! Say it! ”
"Lord Shizi!?" Gardenia muttered inexplicably, and looked around the room with a frightened face.
"Yes!" Li Si's family immediately said: "It's the prince of the world!" When you go to the front yard, you see the prince! Tell me, who did you instruct to see the prince? What did you say to the prince? ”
"Nope! No! Gardenia didn't know what she was thinking, and her face suddenly showed a very frightened expression, she shook her head desperately, and cried loudly: "The slave doesn't have it!" Madame, the slave and maid don't! The slave and maid really didn't go to see the prince, the slave and the maid just secretly went to see Brother Wen Qiang, and the slave and maid really didn't see the prince......"
"You!" Li Si's family dragged back the gardenia who wanted to climb to Wen Wei's side, and according to the gardenia's face, he slapped his backhand again, and said angrily: "You slave is so bold!" It's time to dare to lie! ”
"Not really! There really isn't a ......" Gardenia shouted in the direction of Wen Wei while hiding, "Madam, madam, the slave and maid really didn't go to see the prince, the slave didn't dare to think about it, madam, you have to believe the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid really went to see Brother Wen Qiang......"
"Oops! Cousin, what are you doing here? Jiang Youshi, who had been watching from the wall, finally understood what was happening in front of her, with a playful smile on her face that she couldn't hide, Shi Ran smiled and said: "This maid is just busy and sneaking to see the good side, although this is not right, but then again, this maid is the same age, it is reasonable for such a thing to happen...... Tut-tut! And voila! Look at the poor maid who beat it, oops, cousin-in-law, there is something wrong with this maid, just teach a lesson in private, you don't have to deal with it at this time......"
"The results haven't been asked yet!" Wen Wei looked at Jiang You coldly and said, "There are some things, it's better not to draw conclusions early!" ”
"Isn't that the result obvious?" Jiang You's eyes widened, pointed to the gardenia on the ground, and pouted: "This maid is obviously going to the front yard to see what kind of Wen Qiang's good look, everyone heard it clearly, what result does my cousin want to interrogate?" ”
"Humph!" Wen Wei snorted coldly.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang You said angrily: "Do you have to force this maid to admit that she was instructed by my family Ruoyun to go to the front yard?" ”
Wen Wei ignored Jiang You's family, and his eyes gestured to Li Si's family.
Li Si's family was busy again, and he forced Gardenia to ask again.
Suddenly, Gardenia's suppressed screams rang out in the room.
Mrs. Tai couldn't help frowning.
"Mother Dajiang," Mrs. Jiang suddenly said, "I remember, the clerk in the front yard seems to have a son named Wen Qiang." ”
"Yes." Dajiang's mother hurriedly responded: "It's the second son of the clerk, he went to the south with the clerk three months ago to collect rent, and he came back early this morning. ”
Because she has a bit of incense with Wen Qiang's mother-in-law, Dajiang's mother sold the Wen family a little favor in her words.
Mrs. Jiang's face was not moved in the slightest, and she only listened to her: "You go to the front yard and ask, ask where Wenqiang is today, what he has done, have you seen this maid named Gardenia, where did you see it, what time of day, and who saw it...... After inquiring clearly, come back to report to me. ”
"Yes!" Oe's mother hurriedly retreated.
Hearing this, Wen Wei turned his head and glanced at Mother Wei beside him.
Wei's mother understood, and she retreated.
Mother Liu, who was beside Mrs. Tai, glanced at Mrs. Tai and quietly retreated.
Li Si's family glanced at Wen Wei's family, and then, he casually beckoned two maids to take the gardenia on the ground out, and silently retreated behind Wen Wei's family.
Just at this time, the Imperial Doctor arrived.
Mrs. Jiang was afraid of trouble, so she avoided behind the screen, and Mrs. Jiang thought about it and followed in.
Wen Wei also wanted to hide, but because she was Mrs. Ning Guohou, she had to cheer up and greet the imperial doctor with a smile.
“…… It's okay for my family to be cloudy...... The wound on his forehead isn't serious...... Look at the wound on your neck, too...... When will these traces disappear...... Why aren't you awake yet...... I've been waiting for a long time...... There won't be any after-effects......"
Behind the screen, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Jiang sat on the left and right, listening to Jiang You's inquiries.
"This," Mrs. Jiang smiled at Mrs. Tai a little flatteringly, and said, "I'm really sorry for Sister Huang today......
"It's all a family," Mrs. Tai replied with a light smile: "Sister Jiang doesn't need to be so polite. ”
The two of them whispered to each other.
Mrs. Tai noticed that Mrs. Jiang obviously wanted to say something to her, but she kept hesitating and didn't say anything.
"Where's Master Hou?" Mrs. Tai glanced at Mrs. Jiang, who was entangled, changed the topic, and asked, "When something like this happened, why didn't Master Hou come over to take a look?" ”
"Hey! Yan'er was busy making amends to the guests. Mrs. Jiang's face darkened, she let out a long sigh, and said in a gloomy tone: "Originally, a good birthday banquet ......"
Mrs. Tai couldn't help but look at Mrs. Jiang's face.
Looking closely, the wrinkles on Mrs. Jiang's face are even more obvious, and now, she looks physically and mentally exhausted, looking more than ten years older than her actual age.
Mrs. Tai's gaze slid to her well-maintained hands.
"Hey!" Thinking of Mrs. Jiang's background and the difficulties she had had in the past few years, Mrs. Jiang felt a little pity in her heart.
"Go and bring a cup of ginseng tea to your wife." Mrs. Tai said to the maid who was standing behind Mrs. Jiang.
The maid looked at Mrs. Jiang inquiringly, and when she saw Mrs. Jiang nodding, she retreated.
"Hey!" With a grateful look on her face, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but take Mrs. Tai's hand and sighed: "I want Sister Huang to forgive me, I'm afraid that Yan'er won't be able to get out for a while...... Sister Huang don't worry, I will ask him to go to the Zhenguo Houfu in person to make amends to Sister Huang. ”
"Look at what Sister Jiang said." Mrs. Tai gently patted Mrs. Jiang's hand and said, "Master Hou is my son-in-law, so even if it is half of my son, how can I, as a mother-in-law, care about these things with Master Hou." ”
Having said that, Mrs. Tai knew in her heart that Wen Liyan was afraid that she had already known about the situation here, so she chose to hide as before.
It's just that the little things in the past, out of sight and out of mind, are not bothered, but now it is about the marriage of the only son, which is to determine the future hostess of the Marquis of Ningguo......
"Hey! Sister Huang! When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she waved her hand to the maids and ladies around her.
The subordinates all consciously retreated into the corner.
"Sister Huang, although I haven't said it all these years, I know it in my heart, I know that you treat Yan'er as your own son...... It's been so many years, Sister Huang has also seen it, and I'm also good at staying with Jing'er," Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang's emotions suddenly became a little excited, she raised her tone slightly, and said: "Sister Huang is also a person who has a daughter-in-law, let me ask you, can you tolerate the morning and dusk to calm down the mood, and the things set by your mother-in-law will change when you say it, and the daughter-in-law who doesn't even say hello...... Sister Huang, after so many years, sister, I haven't complained to you about my daughter-in-law, have I? Whatever she did, I suffered in silence......"
Mrs. Tai looked at the real grievances on Mrs. Jiang's face, shook her head gently, and sighed.
"Sister Huang," Mrs. Jiang pulled Mrs. Tai's hand tighter, and said in a slightly choked tone: "When my grandson was just born, I thought about the things in her house and said, I proposed that I would help raise her, and she ...... Ay! I simply thought it through, I am a country woman, and I can't compare to her being the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion...... However, if she doesn't let me raise my grandson, forget it, woo woo......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jiang actually cried quietly.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Tai hurriedly persuaded: "You and I are both people who are going to marry their granddaughter-in-law, we are both so old, what are the hurdles that we can't get over, why are you still crying......"
"Sister Huang," Mrs. Tai wiped her eyes, stopped her tears, and said in a soft tone: "Yuan'er is my only grandson, I, as a grandmother, can I still harm my own grandson?" But...... When Yuan'er was a child, every time I went back to see Yuan'er, there was a circle of maids guarding it, and I was not right to do this, and I was not allowed to do that...... When Yuan'er grows up, she will go even further, she actually teaches Yuan'er to alienate my grandmother......"
"How can you think that! Sister Jiang, this is really wrong Jing'er! Mrs. Tai was very surprised on her face, and hurriedly defended Wen Wei's and said: "My daughter, I know best, Jing'er's temper is a little bad, and because of my pampering in my early years, I have developed a bit of domineering in her actions...... However, I can guarantee that Jing'er would never do such a thing as despising her mother-in-law and deliberately alienating her son from his grandmother...... Besides, how could Sister Jiang feel that Yuan'er is not close to you? The Yuan'er I see in my eyes, that's a child who is filial to his grandmother, Sister Jiang must not say such things again, I don't feel comfortable listening to it, if Yuan'er hears this, then how sad should he be......"
