The night was dark, and the keys were dropped everywhere in the inner courtyard of Shengchang Hou, and Xiangzhi himself took the key, took two rough maids and a mother-in-law who held the lamp, and led Sheng Xiuyi and Dongyu to Yuanyang Pavilion.

Dongyi's maids Rose and Crape Myrtle followed behind, also carrying a sheep's horn lantern to light the way.

Walking in a hurry, the lights and shadows are swaying, and the silence everywhere is terrifying.

Today is the first day of the fifth month, the sky is full of stars, and there is no moonlight.

"Isn't Master Hou here?" Sheng Xiuyi asked Xiangzhi.

"The first lady of Yongningbo Mansion is full of clothes today, and the Hou Ye sent gifts, probably to keep eating and drinking, and not to come back." Xiang Zhi said.

That's why he called Sheng Xiuyi late at night to call the shots?

Obviously, you can just call Sheng Xiuyi, and Mrs. Sheng will also call Dongyi, does this mean that Mrs. Sheng has affirmed her daughter-in-law?

The second grandmother was not good, so she came to call Sheng Xiuyi and his wife instead of calling the imperial doctor, naturally she was not sick, but had an accident. There is something at home, even if she hides her new daughter-in-law who has only been in the door for ten days, it is human nature, and Dongyu can't complain about anything.

Mrs. Sheng didn't hide it from her, Dongyu could feel her mother-in-law's trust in her, and even a little serious.

This is a good place to start.

The group walked in a hurry, passed through the courtyard corridor of the Marquis of Shengchang, and arrived at Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion with a stick of incense.

In the bright lights, the maids and mothers-in-law of Yuanyang Pavilion are holding their breath, their steps are slow, and the cries of the second grandmother are high and low through the quiet carved window lattice, which is extraordinarily clear.

Hearing the sound of opening the courtyard door, Mama Kang, who was beside Mrs. Sheng, hurriedly greeted her.

When he saw Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi, he bowed his knees to them.

Sheng Xiuyi bowed slightly, and hurriedly walked into the east room where Mrs. Sheng lived and rested. Dong Yu followed, and then also entered the house.

Kang's mother instructed Xiangzhi to arrange Rose and Ziwei in the warm pavilion to wait a little, and after she went in, she closed ~~-Update the first launch~~ The door of the main house.

When Dong Yu entered the East Second Room, he saw the second master Sheng Xiuhai kneeling on the ground. He was still wearing a royal blue cocoon silk jacket. It was the one that greeted him in the afternoon, and it can be seen that he has not left. Although he was kneeling, he straightened his back and looked like he was fighting against Mrs. Sheng to the end.

Mrs. Sheng did not respond to his confrontation. She sat on the big kang near the window, leaning on the silver-red longevity boundless ink pillow, supporting her head with one hand, closing her eyes slightly, and her personal maid citon gently smoothed her back and helped her breathe.

Hearing the footsteps of Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi, Mrs. Sheng opened her eyes. With a bit of sadness and helplessness in his eyes, he beckoned to Sheng Xiuyi and his wife.

Dong Ying and Sheng Xiuyi bypassed the second master Sheng Xiuhai and came to Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng took Dong Jin's hand, and her voice was weak: "Ah Jin, you go and persuade your second brother and sister, she cried so much that her mother's head exploded." ”

The second grandmother was crying in Mrs. Sheng's inner room.

Dongyu looked at Mrs. Sheng worriedly: "Mother, are you okay?" Do you want to go and rest first? ”

"Mother is fine." Mrs. Sheng had a faint smile on her face, "You go in and see your second brother and sister." ”

Dong Ying should have bent his knees. Turn around and go to the inner room.

Mother Kang came over, supported Dongyi, and whispered to her, "Grandma." Madame's dinner was useless. The second master and the second grandmother have been making trouble from dusk to the present, and you can persuade Mrs. to use some snacks later. ”

Dongyu said she knew.

When I entered the inner room, I saw that the second grandmother Ge's forehead was red and swollen, the hairpin ring was messy, and her face was full of tears. She was still crying, and when she saw Dong Ying coming in, she stepped over and grabbed her hand, almost slipping Dong Ying with her.

She pulled Dongyu onto the kang and cried loudly: "Sister-in-law, you have to make the decision for me!" I have no way to live in the Sheng family. What a rotten thing, you actually want to marry in and be a flat wife! ”

Dongyu's heart shook slightly, it turned out that the second master wanted to marry a flat wife!

Who to marry?

Dong Yu just came, and I didn't hear any wind at all.

But the family of a minister like theirs is not a small family, and marrying a flat wife will be laughed at. How could Mrs. Sheng agree?

Dong Ying finally understood what to make trouble again.

Her hand was dragged by the second grandmother, so she had to soothe: "Second brother and sister, my mother will make the decision for you, don't be sad." Have you eaten? I'll accompany you to the Warm Pavilion for some snacks. ”

The second grandmother shook her head, but she didn't let go of Dongyu's hand, and cried: "What else do I eat?" Sister Hui and I can't save our lives. Wow, the second master of the Sheng family wants to marry a flat wife, and there is no one in our Yongxi Bofu to bully? ”

The grandfather of the second grandmother Ge is the younger brother of Yongxi Bo, who went first, and has been separated from his grandfather's generation since he has lived alone, and after three generations, he is no longer very close to the descendants of Yongxi Bofu. Ge himself is a concubine, although the second master Sheng Xiuhai is a concubine, and he is the son of the Shengchang Marquis Mansion, Ge does not dare to bring out the Yongxi Bofu on weekdays to talk about things, so as not to add to the laughing stock.

Now that she is really desperate, she remembered that Uncle Yongxi came to the mansion.

Ge's father is just a cousin of Yongxibo, and he has long been intimate. Ge has been in the Sheng family for almost eight years, and has only one daughter, and Yongxi Bofu can't be the master of her business. Ge Shi herself understands, so when she talks about Yongxi Bofu, she lacks momentum.

She kept holding Dong Yu's hand as if seeking refuge.

But Dongyu also said that she didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything nonsense, so she had to say some clichés to comfort her, and said: "Second brother and sister, my mother is also tired all day, and dinner is useless." What the second master did not do is the second master's unfilial piety. If you are so noisy, it is your unfilial piety. According to me, since the second master is at a loss, why should you follow suit? ”

Ge Shi listened to Dongyi's hand, his eyes moved, and he suddenly silenced, stopped crying, and said: "What my sister-in-law said is that I am in a hurry, I only care about myself and forget my mother, I really damn it!" ”

After that, he picked up the handkerchief to wipe his tears and let go of Dongyu's hand.

The wrist that was grabbed by Ge Shi was now hot and uncomfortable, and Dong Yu hurriedly withdrew his wrist.

When the inner room was quiet, Kang's mother asked the maid to fetch water to wash the face of the second grandmother Ge, and personally cleaned her hands to help her even her face.

And the east room across the curtain is always quiet, without the slightest sound.

Mrs. Sheng didn't speak, and the second master and Sheng Xiuyi were also silent.

Seeing that the second grandmother had quieted down, Dong Yu gently walked to the felt curtain and looked out.

Mrs. Sheng sat on the kang, Sheng Xiuyi sat opposite her, the second master knelt, the atmosphere was very stiff, and the big maid citron serving on the side did not dare to come out.

After a long time, Mrs. Sheng whispered to the citron: "Go and see the second grandmother." If it's okay, tell her to go back to Xiguiyuan to rest. ”

Citron said yes, get up and get off the kang.

Dong Yu quietly retreated to the front of the big kang near the window.

The second grandmother, Ge Shi, asked her softly, "What did you say?" ”

Dongyu shook her head and said nothing, waved her hand at her, and the citron came in.

"Second grandmother, Mrs. said that it was late at night, and the slave maid would send you to Xiguiyuan to rest. Come back tomorrow to say hello to Madame. Citron greeted Ge Shi and said.

When the second grandmother heard this, her expression froze, and after a moment's pause, she hurriedly got up and rushed back from the inner room, not even bothering to wear shoes.

She rushed like this, almost hitting the citron standing opposite her, but it was Dongyu and Kang's mother who were quick and held the citron.

She rushed out and threw herself in front of Mrs. Sheng's kang, and Sheng Xiuyi was also slightly stunned.

Mrs. Sheng sighed a little irritably.

The second grandmother didn't care about it, and cried: "Mother, if you say something, your daughter-in-law is willing to die." The daughter-in-law was hired by the Sheng family to marry six people, unlike Tian's shameless one, who came secretly. The daughter-in-law gave birth to Sister Hui, and she has been filial to her in-laws for many years, and she is kind to her aunt and uncle, and she thinks that she is not at fault. If the Sheng family wants to abandon their daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law can only die to be innocent! ”

Mrs. Sheng frowned, but there was a gentleness in her voice: "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground." When did my mother say that she would abandon you? ”

Xiangzhi, Citron and Kang's mother wanted to support her, but the second grandmother struggled to push everyone away and hugged Mrs. Sheng's legs: "Mother, if the second master has to marry a flat wife, it is better to kill me first!" As long as I have a breath left, this will not happen! Mother, you have to make decisions for your daughter-in-law! ”

"Okay, my mother will make the decision for you!" Mrs. Sheng sighed and gave Kang's mother and the others a look.

Kang's mother stepped forward to pull the second grandmother.

The second grandmother hugged Mrs. Sheng's leg tightly and didn't let go, crying and shouting.

Mrs. Sheng's head was buzzing and painful, and her face was not very good.

The second master, Sheng Xiuhai, who was kneeling on the ground, got up suddenly, grabbed the back of the second grandmother's clothes, and shook her away: "Have you made enough trouble!" ”

The second grandmother fell heavily on the floor of the east room, and there was a loud pop.

She was thrown into darkness by the second master, and she didn't know to cry for a while.

"Don't make a fuss!" Sheng Xiuyi, who was silent, suddenly raised her voice, and immediately covered the cry of the second grandmother.

The second grandmother was stunned by him, and immediately suppressed her voice and didn't dare to cry.

"Ah Jin, you personally return to Xigui Courtyard with your second brother and sister." Sheng Xiuyi's face was grim and said to Dongyi.

Dong Yu hurriedly said yes, asked Kang's mother to help help pick up the second grandmother, and asked Xiangzhi to call her maids Rose and Ziwei.

"You go back to the Jingzhi Courtyard from Xiguiyuan to rest, you don't have to come again." Sheng Xiuyi said again.

The second grandmother was dropped by the second master, I don't know if she was scared or fell hard, her face was purple and ugly. She looked at the cold Sheng Xiuyi, the ruthless second master Sheng Xiuhai, and the mother-in-law who had no opinions, and her heart cooled. No matter how much trouble he made, he couldn't change anything, so he followed Dongyi's hand and walked out of Yuanyang Pavilion.

Xiangzhi called Dongyi's maid Rose and Ziwei, and called the second grandmother's maid Lilac and sent them out.

"The people of the Sheng family, there is no good thing!" On the way, the second grandmother cried and said to Dongyu, "Sister-in-law, our concubine is so miserable!" ”

Dongyu just held her and didn't answer.

She grabbed Dongyu's hand again: "You don't believe me? You'll know when you're pregnant! There is no good person in the Sheng family! ”

Dongyu's heart jumped a few times.

Sheng Xiuhai, the second master of the second room, is only one year younger than Sheng Xiuyi, and now he only has one daughter, Sheng Lehui. The second grandfather's concubines have no heirs, and the second grandmother only gave birth to Sister Hui, and there has been no movement.

Dongyu's back was a little cold.

"Second brother and sister, we are also members of the Sheng family!" Dong Yu said softly.

The second grandmother was slightly stunned, and then she was so angry that she couldn't say anything, and when Dongyu sent her to the door, she turned around and said viciously to Dongjin: "Ignorance! ”
