Seeing that a few grandmothers were in an uproar, Xue Shi smiled and said slowly: "But don't worry, a few old people who have followed me for so many years, and some of them are still from my Xue family, have always been loyal, and there has never been a mistake in their errands...... I'll give you a better place to go. In the future, when the old lady returns to Shandong, I will still recruit you back to the house. ”

Recruit home? Is this to kick them out of the house?

A few grandmothers were just discolored at first, but after hearing this sentence, they were already dead-faced.

Xue Shi said this in one breath, without giving people a chance to speak, and finally added: "By the way, your account books and keys, Mama Chang next to the old lady will send someone to get them from you later." ”

This sentence completely ruined the luck of several people. If it was just the errand that the Xue family wanted to take back from their hands, Mama Xue could still deal with them in front of the master, but if the old lady personally sent someone to come, even the master would have no way.

After Xue sent a few grandmothers out, she exhaled a big breath again, let go of her fists clenched due to nervousness, and found that her palms were already wet, but her eyes were brighter than ever.

She succeeded, even if it was only half of it, and it made her heart happy. In her heart, Mama Xue has always been a very capable person, and she feels that there is no way to defeat it on her own. But today, under the guidance of Sanniang, she fought with Mama Xue and her mother-in-law.

"Madam, after those grandmothers left here, they went to find Mama Xue, and after saying a few words, Mama Xue's face was very unpleasant, and she was coming to Madame's side."

The maids who were sent out to stare at those grandmothers made a loud report, waking up the Xue family, who had been stunned for a while.

Xue coughed lightly. He sat up straight and nodded to the maid: "I know, you go out and guard." ”

Sure enough, not long after the words fell, Mama Xue's unique serious voice sounded outside: "The old slave asks to see Madame." ”

Xue Shi froze. Whispered, "Come in." ”

After Mama Xue came in, she saluted to the Xue clan and stood three steps away from the Xue clan. I looked at her for a long time. In the end, he sighed heavily: "Second Miss, the slave maid heard from Sister-in-law Gui that you want to hand over the inner courtyard to the old lady?" A pair of eyes were staring at Xue Shi tightly and did not move away.

I don't know why, Mama Xue's eyes made Xue unbearable. She hadn't been paying attention before. Now that I think about it. Mama Xue seemed to like to look at her so unscrupulously all along. But where is there a slave or maid who looks at her master with such eyes? Unless she doesn't treat you as her master.

Thinking of this, Xue's heart was a little firmer.

"The old lady said that the management of my inner courtyard is messy, and she can't stand it anymore, so she wants to teach me." Xue's voice was soft, and it seemed that she had always been the weak and simple Miss Xue Er in Mama Xue's eyes, and she had not changed.

Mama Xue glared at the Xue family: "Madam, why is there a miasma in the inner courtyard?" If the old slave is here, why is this so? According to the old slave, you still ask the old lady to forgive you for a while. When the old slave helps you reorganize this inner courtyard, the old lady will naturally have nothing to say. ”

Xue was thinking about making a few perfunctory remarks and delaying the time. saw that he was facing the direction of Mama Xue, and the door curtain was gently lifted. Mu Lian, who had just been sent to the outer courtyard, poked her head in, saw that Mama Xue was talking to Xue, and did not enter the house, but only nodded towards Xue and retracted her head.

The interaction between Mu Lian and the Xue family's master and servant did not alarm Xue Mama, who was teaching the Xue family.

Xue suddenly sighed and interrupted Mama Xue and said, "Mama, don't say it, I know you said it was for my good, but there is no way to do it, the old lady is my mother-in-law, I can't disobey her." ”

Mama Xue hates that iron does not become steel: "Madame, the old slave doesn't like to hear this!" You're the housewife here, how can you leave the backyard to someone else? Even if the old lady is your mother-in-law, she is only temporarily living in Beijing. Second Miss, it's not the old slave who said you! Your temperament is too soft and bullying, and if the old lady asks you to hand over the inner courtyard, you will hand over the inner courtyard, which will make her feel that you are so good. ”

Xue glanced at the defensive line of the door curtain without a trace, and was slightly silent.

Mama Xue thought that she was about to move the Xue family as before, and continued: "Second Miss, my lord, he has always valued you, and this is your advantage!" Even the old lady will tolerate you when she sees our master's face, and you really don't need to call the housekeeper in your hand. ”

I didn't want Xue Shi to suddenly raise his head, and this seriously interrupted Mama Xue's words: "I don't like to hear Mama's words!" Xue Er is a daughter-in-law and a wife in the Wang family, and she should be filial to her in-laws and respect her husband. How can you go against your mother-in-law's will because you are greedy for this small inner court right, and make it difficult for your husband? Although Xue Er has not read any books, he also knows that his family and everything is prosperous. And the old lady, she wants to point out my family history, I should be happy before it's too late, why resist? Mama's words don't make sense. ”

Mama Xue was stunned, she looked at Xue, who had never spoken to her like this.

It's just that Mama Xue has messed up the dismissal of Sister-in-law Gui in the kitchen today, and that is her hole card for turning over. So Mama Xue just paused, and then taught Xue Shi again: "Second Miss, you are confused!" Although the old lady is your mother-in-law, she is not your biological mother after all! How is it possible to think about everything for your sake? Do you know that there has been little harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law since ancient times? Isn't that home for these shelters in this backyard, fighting you to the death? You're still inexperienced, and you don't know how to do it. ”

"I am filial to my in-laws and respect my husband, why don't I know that it is amazing?" Xue retorted angrily.

Mama Xue said in a louder voice: "The old slave said that you are confused, and you are still not convinced!" Now that you have no heirs, no matter how much the old lady and the old man value you, you have no confidence. Now even this right to be in charge is given away, how to gain a foothold in this backyard in the future. ”

Xue was a little embarrassed: "Why don't I have an heir?" The fifth young master, the third young lady, they are the blood and blood of the master, and they call me a mother, and they are also filial, they are my heirs. ”

Mama Xue sneered: "It's not out of your stomach, how can it be intimate with you?" Speaking of which, the old slave has more to say. How can you be warm up to the young master and young lady left by the first lady? At the beginning, the old slave tried his best to plan for you Miss Ruyu...... That's it, according to what the old slave saw, Mrs. still hurriedly took a concubine room for the master, and when she gave birth to an heir in the future, she would take it to her side and raise it, and then the concubine who gave birth to a child was not at your disposal? The lord now favors you, but he is just coveting your color, and after five or ten years, what will you do? ”

When Xue heard this, he simply didn't say anything and cried.

Mama Xue was about to add another fire, but suddenly heard a serious voice without much emotion and said lightly: "Mama, you bothered." ”

Mama Xue was startled, turned around, and saw Wang Dong, who was wearing a soap-colored outing suit, standing at the door, and he hadn't been standing for long.

Mama Xue shuddered when she remembered what she had just said, and looked at Wang Dong's face carefully, but saw that he was still with that face, and she couldn't see any emotion.

Mama Xue stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, are you back?" Come on, don't wait for the master to change his clothes. ”

Xue wiped away the tears on his face and reluctantly stepped forward to salute Wang Dong.

Wang Dong pulled her and sat down on the chair, without even looking at Mama Xue.

He only instructed the maid who listened to Mama Xue's call to come in: "Fetch a basin of water and wait for Mrs. to clean her face." Let's go out first. ”

Mama Xue glanced at Wang Dong carefully, and then looked at Xue Shi, whose eyes were red, and finally held back if she wanted to speak. He gritted his teeth and said, "The old slave retired." And he went out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw two maids guarding there with curtains, Mama Xue's face sank, and she reprimanded in a low voice: "Master is here, why don't you know how to report?" ”

The two little maids looked at each other and bowed their heads silently.

Mama Xue was so angry that she wanted to take it aside to teach her a good lesson, but she heard a crisp voice, deliberately lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Mama, don't be angry, they originally wanted to report, but the old man stopped it." If Mama has any dissatisfaction, she will tell the master to go. ”

Although the tone is respectful, the meaning of the words is provocative.

Mama Xue looked at Mu Lian, who was smiling at her, her face was gloomy, and she was about to teach her a lesson, but she saw the girl looking at her with a determined face and smiling.

Mama Xue woke up in shock, turned around and glanced at the curtain behind her, and finally endured her anger. Walked away with a cold face.

Mu Lian smiled proudly, made a "well done" gesture to the little maid at the door, and then left slowly.

In the house, Wang Dong saw that Xue was waiting to wash his face, wipe his hands, and regain his freshness, so he waved his hand and drove the maids out.

"Master, the concubine is out of shape, please forgive me." Xue blushed slightly.

Wang Dong walked up to her, saw that she was still aggrieved, sighed, and carefully hugged her into his arms: "You and I are husband and wife, you don't have to apologize to me." I know you're good, superb. ”

Xue shyly buried his head in Wang Dong's arms.

The two of them kept warm for a while.

Wang Dong suddenly asked, "Mama Xue, have you always been talking to you like this?" ”

Xue Shi glanced up at Wang Dong: "She is the old man next to my mother, and I treat her more respectfully than others." "I don't say that Mama Xue is not good.

Wang Dong thought thoughtfully: "Mother said that you want you to hand over the inner courtyard to her?" ”

Xue Shi hurriedly shook his head when he heard this: "It's Mama Xue who misunderstood, the old lady values me and wants to teach me some skills, so she asked the mother-in-law around me to help me." Speaking of this, Xue was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I still asked for it cheekily (to be continued)
