Seeing the surprise in her daughter-in-law's eyes, the old lady smiled.

"What are you doing so surprised? Didn't I just tell you? Mrs. Tai left a lot of good things back then. ”

The countess thought of what the old lady said just now that Fang Jingyi might have a thin life, and understood that the old lady wanted to fight Fang Jingyi's dowry. Although she couldn't help but be tempted by so much money, she still couldn't do it if she wanted to make money and kill her.

The old lady was unimpressed by her daughter-in-law's kindness: "Well, I know that you are afraid of fame. You don't need to meddle in this matter, you just need to take good care of my son and a pair of grandchildren. ”

The Countess breathed a sigh of relief, for if the old lady had to force her to do something, she did not know how to say no. However, thinking of her mother-in-law's methods, she was still a little uneasy: "Mother, what are you going to do?" ”

The old lady glanced at her: "If you don't care, you don't care about it completely, if you ask, it won't be easy to put aside the relationship." ”

The countess was startled, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I, my daughter-in-law, just ask casually, I don't really want to know." ”

The old lady snorted faintly.

The sun was a little hot these days, and the temperature was high, and the countess's shirt was already a little wet for so long. Seeing the old lady squinting her eyes slightly and calculating there, she thought that if the old lady really did something too excessive, she, the head of the house, would not be able to get out of it. In the past few years, she has spent a lot of effort to change the impression of those people outside on the Earl's Court.

Now when people mention Countess Fang, they all say that she is a warm-hearted and benevolent old man. It's rare for anyone to talk about that year anymore.

But...... She looked at her mother-in-law, and finally said carefully: "Mother, I know that you have worked hard for us. However, if something happens to Jingyi and her in a good manner, our family will be contacted by the people...... That gossip is afraid that it will drown people. ”

If the old lady wanted to harm Fang Jingyi, but then it was their family who benefited, and a discerning person could understand what was going on at a glance. Fang Jingyi can't die.

Because I know that spittle can drown people. So in the past few years, although she has not been like her own daughter, she has not been short of her food and clothing, and the medicinal materials she uses are always available in the house, even the doctor who often treats her. She paid enough for the consultation. Because every time Fang Jingyi's condition worsened, she seemed to be able to hear the gossip of people outside.

In all fairness, Fang Jingyi has not spent less money in the mansion over the years. She is not singing against her mother-in-law, but some superficial work must be done enough.

The old lady listened to her daughter-in-law's words, and was silent for a while, and finally sighed helplessly: "I understand what you mean, I just want her to have no way to marry." Since you're afraid of these gossip. Then you can be the good person. Later, you can just give her a bite to eat. ”

"Can't get married?" The Countess was a little dumbfounded, "However, this marriage contract was made a long time ago when Mrs. Tai was alive, and the Earl's Mansion and the Li family in Longxi are also considered world friends, so I am afraid that this marriage contract will not be easy to return." And the prime minister, he is also indispensable in the court, and the Li family is indispensable to help him......"

The old lady interrupted: "Who said that we should regret our marriage? She can't get married, so let Yan'er marry. ”

"What, what?"

The old lady was a little complacent: "I have seen the descendants of the Li family, and it is a good one." In the future, with the Li family as the backing, his career will be smooth. As for Li Jiayuan, he is in Longxi...... I've also thought about this, can't I be a Beijing official? ”

The Countess heard this. My body trembled a little, but this time I was not scared, but angry.

"Mother, how can this be done? My sister's marriage contract, my sister's fulfillment, I don't know how people laugh at us behind our backs! What will Yan'er do in the future? "She married into the Earl's Court for so many years, and for the first time she was angry with her mother-in-law.

She is also from a famous family, and she was also very strict with her family when she was a girl. She really couldn't imagine why she would hear such remarks from her mother-in-law.

The old lady didn't think there was anything wrong with her thoughts, it was Fang Jingyi who "couldn't get married". In order to follow the last wishes of their elders, they let Yan'er marry, which is a very reasonable thing.

In doing so, even the dowry is justified.

The old lady was a little unhappy: "Okay, I said that I won't let you ask, you want to ask again!" I asked and thought about this and there! You don't have to worry about it in the future. Go down. I have something else to do. ”

The countess was angry when she saw that the old lady looked like she was not in the middle of the salt. However, she also knew that the old lady would not be able to listen to the persuasion at this time, so she had to go back first and think about it later.

The countess really has no way to understand her mother-in-law, and Yan'er can't get married. Even if you can't find someone like the Li family, it won't be bad. The Countess had always had the feeling that the old lady could not bear at all that the people in the big house were better off than theirs.

But haven't all the titles been taken over!

No, she has to take the first step to finalize Yan'er's marriage, even if she will be blamed by the old lady at the time, she can't care about it.

The Countess went out of the old lady's courtyard with a sad face, and was about to go back, when she saw a little maid hurrying out. Recognizing that it was the little maid beside Fang Jingyi, the countess hurriedly asked her maid to ask.

After a while, the little maid followed: "Madam, young lady, she blew a little wind last night and was sick again, and the slave maid went to ask her for a doctor." ”

The Countess was shocked, isn't Jingyi okay? Could it be that the old lady is starting to do it again?

"Then you go quickly, I'll go and see her." After the countess gave instructions to the maid, she hurried to Fang Jingyi's courtyard.

Fang Jingyi, don't have an accident at this juncture, Yan'er's family affairs have not yet been decided.

As soon as Mrs. Fang walked to Fang Jingyi's courtyard, she asked about the smell of medicine. It's really good to see a maid carrying a bowl of boiled thick medicinal juice and walking towards Fang Jingyi's room.

"What kind of medicine is this? Hasn't the doctor come yet? Mrs. Fang also entered the house.

Several maids in the room hurriedly saluted her, and Fang Jingyi leaned against the head of the bed, wearing a plain middle coat that made her face even more pale and bloodless.

Seeing that Mrs. Fang was coming, Fang Jingyi replied, "Mother, are you here?" This is the prescription prescribed by the doctor last time, and the medicine was not immediately cut off after the body was well a while ago, thinking that it would be better to take a few more doses to make the illness better faster. It was fine, but somehow it's heavy today. "She has officially passed under the name of Earl Fang, so she calls the countess mother.

Mrs. Fang glanced at the medicine, and with some hesitation, she stopped the maid who stepped forward with the medicine and said, "It's still ...... Don't drink it yet. When the doctor came, he asked him to take the pulse and prescribe again. Saying that, Mrs. Fang glanced at her maid, and the maid took the medicine and went out.

Fang Jingyi lowered her eyes, raised her eyes and smiled: "Then listen to my mother." ”

Mrs. Fang asked Fang Jingyi about some of her situation again, and she didn't leave until a steward came to talk back to her. Before leaving, he didn't forget to explain: "Later, the doctor will prescribe medicine, and you will let people take it to me." The medicinal herbs in your yard are from last year, and I am afraid that they will be moldy, so I will give you some new ones according to the prescription. ”

Fang Jingyi hurriedly responded with a smile.

As soon as she left, Fang Jingyi closed her eyes and leaned on her bedrail in contemplation.

After a while, the maid who had just gone out at some point came back and whispered, "Miss, I saw that she poured out the medicine, and went to take the medicine residue away." ”

Fang Jingyi didn't open her eyes, she only said softly, "I know."

The maid thought for a while and said, "Madame is not a vicious person, and the people in our yard have not been bad all these years. She must have been so careful because she was afraid that Miss would be killed. "Although I don't want to be good, I never miss anything.

Fang Jingyi didn't speak, but the other maid said, "Phew": "A nest of thieves and rats, I don't believe there are any good people in this family!" If it wasn't for the old witch who harmed our master, what thing in this house was not our young lady's? And use their disguised alms? Madame is just a cowardly person who is afraid of causing trouble, and where is there any kindness. ”

The girl didn't have as sharp teeth as hers, so she just grinned and didn't say anything.

The maid still snorted angrily: "This time the old witch must have bad intentions again, and the lady is so cautious, she just doesn't know what means will be used." ”

Fang Jingyi didn't pay attention to the words of the two maids, and only cared about her own affairs. She didn't open her eyes until someone outside invited her doctor.

glanced at the two maids, and the two immediately shut down.

"How rare is it to be able to have good thoughts? It's good not to hide any malice. Instead of asking others, you should reflect on yourself. Fang Jingyi sighed softly.

"Miss wants us to always have good thoughts?" The clumsy maid said.

Another maid retorted: "Miss must want us to repay our grievances with virtue." ”

Fang Jingyi smiled and shook her head: "No, I mean that you must be worthy of your heart and have clear grievances." ”

Over the years, the doctor has come to this yard, and he is already familiar with it. After a lot of looking and hearing, I didn't say half a nonsense and wrote a prescription, and then how did I come and go.

The process was extremely neat and refreshing, and the people in the yard were used to it.

After Mrs. Fang returned to her yard, she still called her daughter uneasily after thinking about it.

Fang Jingyan saluted a little absentmindedly.

Mrs. Fang thought about it, but there was still no way to ask directly.

can only hint: "You are a girl's family, and you are also old, and you are about to say goodbye when you see it." It's better not to walk around in the future, stay in your own yard, you know? ”

When Fang Jingyan saw her mother talking about her marriage, she pulled her skirt a little twisted, blushing.

Mrs. Fang said tentatively: "I thought about it, I still don't want you to marry far away, and if you are closer, you will be reconciled in the future." "The Li family is in Longxi, and it is not easy for the son of the Li family to stay in Beijing. (To be continued)
