……

The second lady on the left squeaked and said: "The daughter-in-law also listened to the root of the tongue in this matter, and I heard that the lord has the heart to straighten Aunt Sun as the side lady, but ......"

As soon as she said this, Old Lady Zuo's face was already pale, and she couldn't help but cover her chest and gasp violently.

Zuo Di was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly patted his vest: "Grandpa, don't be angry, you're afraid of being overjoyed and angry when you're sick." As long as you are in good health, no matter what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, Di'er will take care of them all for you! ”

The old lady Zuo snorted and gasped for a few breaths, and his eyes were dizzy in annoyance, and when he heard his granddaughter's heroic comfort, he couldn't help but want to be happy, and he cried instead of laughing.

Zuo Zhangheng also spoke comfortably, and the old lady Zuo slowly calmed down, and said hatefully to the second lady Zuo:

"The old man hates the backyard fire the most in his life, according to your meaning, because he knows that the old man will not agree, so the second child has a thought, and after the old man dies, this family will be in charge of him?"

The second lady on the left shook her head into a rattle and said, "You also understand that the master is a person, although he doesn't have much ability, he is filial." The matter of Mrs. Fubian is also Aunt Sun's pampering. She looks at the softness, but in fact, she is the most attentive, this time not only harmed her father but also blamed Shu'er, which is to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Her tone darkened, and this time even Zuo Di understood.

Aunt Sun wanted to be promoted to be a side lady, but the second master of the Zuo family was suffering from the old lady's nod, so she had a bad heart and waited for Zuo Shu to have a dispute with the old lady before poisoning, so that not only could the roadblocks be removed, but also the second wife of the left family, killing two birds with one stone.

After listening to the whole story, Old Lady Zuo was not as excited as Shicai, presumably knowing that the mastermind was an aunt, not the second son who had been raised by his side, which made it easier for him to accept.

"Get up, the old man will not pursue today's matter for the time being, and we will discuss it tomorrow, so you can go out first."

The second lady on the left was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly got up, because she knelt for too long and inevitably had numb legs and feet, and limped out after saluting.

Only before she went out, she glanced at Zuo Di meaningfully, she was just a little older to lay out today's game, and all the daughters in the second room were not as good as her.

The three generations of the Zuo family talked together again, and seeing that the old lady Zuo's face was getting more and more tired, Zuo Zhangheng and Zuo Di got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Zuo Di called Jiaosheng from outside the door, saying that the old lady was trustworthy, so why not let him stay in the main courtyard for the time being.

Old lady Zuo once again sighed that her granddaughter was eccentric, thinking safely and thoughtfully, and responded with a smile.

Zuo Di returned to Qujing Garden, and learned that Xie Ningge had already stopped, so he didn't ask any more, and made up his mind to go back and check the details of Aunt Sun, so he stopped and didn't mention it.

……

There is a row of houses along the street in Linzhou, which looks half-new and not old, as if it has been some years.

At this time, in the middle of the night, ordinary people have already fallen asleep, and only in the farthest house, the lights are bright, and chickens and dogs are jumping.

"Alas, the lord has beaten the lady again." Jia Dingjia shook his head and sighed.

"It's not, you have to toss it every day, this time it's very big, don't hang the lottery." The maid had palpitations.

"You guys, be vigilant, be careful with your skin, and chew your tongue to be careful of being sold!" The steward warned.

The next person is scattered with birds and beasts.

"Huai'er, don't fight again, if you don't have enough money, ask the eldest lady to go home and get it again." There was an old woman on crutches in the courtyard, poking her cane and persuading her.

is called Huai'er, a middle-aged man, dressed like a scholar, but at the moment his facial features are distorted and his face is hideous.

He held a wooden stick in his hand that the woman was taking for laundry, and smashed the woman in front of him with a head and face, and his hands were not measured at all.

The beaten woman's hair was scattered and blocked in front of her face, and she stood in the middle of the courtyard like a puppet, without running away or crying, and let the wooden stick fall on her body, making a "plop" sound, which made people shudder to hear.

The corners of her forehead were already bloody, and she was flushed, and there was a bright red slap print on her cheek.

"Okay, okay, if you keep fighting, you'll be killed." The old woman saw that the woman's body began to shake, and she was already unstable, so she had no choice but to stretch out her crutches to block the wooden stick, and dragged the man to the side with her other hand.

"Mother, don't worry about it, let me teach this slut who can't lay eggs a lesson. Relying on getting back a few stinky money, she dared to make a face for frost, I think she has hard wings and wants to go to heaven! "The man spat a mouthful, and the woman did not dodge or dodge, allowing the spit to fall on her chest.

The old woman threw her crutches on the ground and said loudly, "Jiang Huai! Don't you even listen to your mother's words? You beat her to death, who will feed the Jiang family for you? Be obedient, go see Frost, and call a doctor, but don't scare the child in your belly. ”

Jiang Huai fought for a long time, and his anger almost disappeared, he threw the wooden stick in his hand to the side, and said viciously to the woman:

"Zuo Shu, I warn you for the last time, if you can't get the money back, just untie your trouser belt and hang yourself on a tree, and I can go back to your mother's house to ask for some coffin money!" , after finishing speaking, he took a sip and walked away.

It turned out that this woman was the eldest daughter of the second room that Zuo Di had seen when she was three years old, and Zuo Shu, who had married a wife.

When the old woman saw him walking away, she hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zuo Shu, and said with concern: "Huai'er must have eaten too much wine, and she is anxious about the child in Shuangshuang's belly." It's not my mother who said you, why do you have to compete with her, knowing that she has a body at this time is the most arrogant time,"

Zuo Shu looked like a dead man, her eyes were empty, as if she hadn't heard the old woman speak.

"You don't have to be stubborn, the house said that the old lady was angry with you, is it possible to be really angry with you? Can you go without moving around for the rest of your life? Alas, you don't have to blame Huai'er, the silver he brought back last time barely managed to cope with it for three or four months, and now he can't even eat at home, he, who is in charge, must be anxious. ”

The old woman chattered for a long time, and when she saw that this daughter-in-law was stunned and didn't say a word, she secretly said bad luck in her heart, and she didn't have the heart to continue to be a lobbyist, so she said to the trembling maid next to her: "Qiaoya, take care of your wife, bandage her and rest early." ”

Qiaoya should be timid, and after the old woman hummed and chirped out of the yard, she stepped forward to support Zuo Shu's crumbling body, and said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, they are trying to force you to death, otherwise we will listen to the old lady, and leave it." ”

Zuo Shu, who has always been living like a dead person, finally had some reaction when she heard the three words of the old lady, but she smiled bitterly. She said in a hoarse voice:

"And leave? Are you still leaving? Now that my grandfather is sick, Aunt Sun is spreading rumors everywhere that she is angry with me, and my mother can only keep the rumors from spreading outside the house by desperately putting pressure on her. Qiaoya, my mother didn't agree to leave at all, I just hate that I didn't make a decision right now, and no one will make decisions for me now. ”

Qiaoya listened to her master's muttering, and sadness came from it: "Madam, there will be a way." The slave maid heard that the eldest master had returned from the capital with his family. He also looked for Lang Zhong everywhere to treat the old lady. When the old lady recovers, you can clear your grievances, and at that time, we will ask the old lady to call the shots. Madame, you must be able to. ”

Heal...... Is it? A faint light flashed in Zuo Shu's empty eyes, and it quickly went out again.

Even if he recovers, his grandfather will probably only see his uncle's family...... After all, he is a ...... that no one cares about.
