Wang Dong thought that Xue didn't want to say anything about his mother in front of him, so he said this, but he didn't care much, but he felt that his wife was well-behaved and kind, and he felt a little more pity in his heart.

Xue pulled Wang Dong's sleeve, and when he saw him smiling at himself, he also smiled: "Master, I want to send Mama Xue back to the ancestral home of the Xue family." ”

The ancestral home of the Xue family is Anhui, which is far away from the capital.

Wang Dong raised his eyebrows, a little hesitant, Xue saw it, and said: "Yesterday, I invited a doctor to see Mama Xue, and the doctor said that Mama Xue's body is not good, but she is too strong and has been holding on." However, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to the body. You know, she's a worrying person. ”

Wang Dong pondered for a moment: "After all, she is the old man next to your mother......"

Xue smiled: "Yes, so a while ago, Mama Xue also said to the concubine, she said that if I don't have to worry about her in the future, she wants to go back to her ancestral home to take care of the ancestral hall of the Xue family." You know, Mama Xue has always been loyal to the Xue family, she reluctantly stayed by my side, but she was just afraid that I was young and couldn't stand things, in fact, she had long wanted to take care of the Xue family's ancestral hall and continue to serve my mother and father. But now that my mother is willing to carry me, Mama Xue can't work anymore, so let's send her away as soon as possible. ”

Xue will stretch out his slender jade fingers, as if unintentionally drawing circles on Wang Dong's chest: "She has been with the concubine for many years, and she has always been loyal, so the concubine will naturally not wronged her." When the time comes, I will send her a maid to serve her, and I will send two or three mothers-in-law to help her with affairs, so that she can live comfortably in her old age. ”

Wang Dong raised his head and pressed Xue's troublesome fingers, his eyes were deep but there was a hidden flame, and the corners of his mouth were smiling: "Since Madam has already arranged it." Then according to Madame's wishes. Mama Xue's temperament may really be suitable to go back to her ancestral hometown. ”

Xue Shi glanced up at Wang Dong, a little shy: "Then I'll let someone arrange it tomorrow." Sir, are you hungry? The concubine went to the kitchen to prepare the meal, and bought several fresh sea fish today. ”

Wang Dong grabbed the Xue family, who got up to leave. He hugged her tightly and whispered something in her ear.

Xue's face turned red instantly, but Wang Dong was in a good mood......

Moment. There was only a faint sound of gasping in the room.

***

Xue's efficiency is very good.

Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Dong left the inner courtyard, Mama Xue, the maid Peilan and the three housekeepers sent to her by the Xue family were invited out of the inner house by several mothers-in-law.

Mama Xue was a little incredulous. Shouting to see the lord and the lady. In the end, it was Mama Yang, who was in charge of the punishment, who was in charge of the punishment, that she was gagged and tied up in the name of not disturbing the old lady's purity.

This little movement is like a small pebble falling into a pond, and after a few small ripples, it falls silent, and there is no movement.

Xue never even showed his face.

In the main room, Sun heard a little movement, and casually asked Mama Chang, who was combing her hair.

Mama Chang said with a smile: "Yesterday, I helped the third lady check the accounts, and I sent a few dishonest housekeepers. I got someone tied up this morning. ”

Sun nodded: "She's young, she still can't hold back." You help her watch more. ”

Mama Chang responded with a smile, and Sun stopped mentioning this stubble. He just raised his hand to cover his lips again and yawned. Mama Chang was about to say something to give Sun a pick-me-up. Sun's face suddenly turned pale and trembled.

Mama Chang was taken aback: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" Headache again? The old slave will help you go to the doctor. Mama Chang was about to help Sun to lie on the bed, when a pair of slender hands with light-colored impatiens juice on her nails took Sun from her hands.

"Mama go out first, I'll take care of it here, and I'll serve my grandmother to drink medicine." A gentle and soft voice sounded.

Mama Chang looked up and saw Erniang hurriedly coming over with two maids, and helped Sun to the bed in the inner room.

Mama Chang raised her feet and wanted to follow, but unexpectedly, Erniang, who was smiling faintly, was blocked at the door of the inner room: "Grandmother ordered, just let me serve here, Mama Chang should go out and do your own business." ”

Mama Chang looked into the inner room uneasily, and Erniang's eyes sharpened: "Mama Chang, don't you listen to your grandmother's orders?" There's nothing to do with you here, I'll just wait for my grandmother to take the medicine. ”

At this time, Sun's somewhat trembling and eager voice came from the inner room: "Erniang, quickly, give me medicine." Mama Chang, you go out. ”

Erniang didn't move, only stared at Mama Chang with a pair of eyes.

Mama Chang finally lowered her eyes, saluted, and turned to go out.

Erniang saw her leave the main room, so she pursed her lips and entered the inner room.

***

When Erniang finally calmed down the Sun family, she asked someone to call Hongyu.

Hongyu is the big girl next to Erniang, but she rarely serves her closely. She was older than the average maid, she seemed to be about twenty years old, her face was ordinary, and the freckles on her face seemed to be more conspicuous than four years ago.

"What's going on? Why did you have an early attack today? Erniang asked Hongyu.

Hongyu was not shocked, bowed down and replied: "I heard that the medicine has been used for a long time, and the dosage should be increased every once in a while." Miss increase the dosage and it will be fine. ”

Erniang breathed a sigh of relief: "Why didn't you remind me earlier, and I almost showed my horse's feet for people to find out." ”

Hongyu disagreed: "If someone finds out, just send it out, and now the old lady is mostly our own people, what else is there to worry about?" ”

Erniang glanced at Hongyu, and her tone was mocking: "How much do you know about this inner courtyard?" This is the capital, and the head of the house is my new mother, do you think it's as casual as in the old house? ”

Hongyu paused: "I don't care about any of this, but how did that thing go?" Did the old lady arrange for you to enter the palace? ”

Erniang turned around and sat down at the table, and poured herself a cup of tea: "Do you think it's so easy to enter the palace?" Even if the old lady agreed, it would have to be nodded by my father or even the so-called uncle and grandfather. ”

Hongyu stared at Erniang: "Didn't you let you drug your father too?" If even Lord Wang Shilang controls it, what are you worried about? Both your grandmother and father agreed to send you to the palace, and your uncle and grandfather couldn't stop you. ”

Hearing this, Erniang's hand that handed the teacup to her lips paused.

Hongyu caught a glimpse of it, but smiled: "What? Want to regret it now? Who said they wanted revenge in the first place? Have you forgotten how your mother died? ”

Erniang squeezed the hand of the teacup and exerted her strength, the water in the cup shook, she took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes slightly: "Why do you provoke me?" Ever since he allowed someone to kill my mother and left me to fend for myself, I have no father. They owe me, and I will always find a way to get them back. ”

Hongyu's eyes flashed, and she bowed her head slightly: "It's good that the second lady understands." ”

It's late autumn, and it's been drizzling all the time in recent days. Although it has not been raining much, the ground is always wet, and the air smells cold.

When she got up early in the morning, Sanniang added a layer of jacket because she was afraid of the cold, which looked a lot bloated. It's just that she doesn't have to go out, Sanniang doesn't worry too much about temperature and demeanor, just don't treat herself badly.

Because the Sun family came, Sanniang didn't go to Xue's room for breakfast, and still went to the kitchen to get food according to the rules of the old house in Shandong.

Sanniang drank two small bowls of hot millet porridge, ate a picture scroll and some side dishes, and her whole body was warm.

The house has the advantage of being small, for example, the food brought back from the kitchen in the cold weather is still hot, just enough to eat.

"Miss, the fifth lady just went to the old lady's main room, and the slave maid looked at her and didn't seem to be well, and she was helped by the two maids." As soon as Sanniang got out of the small bowl, Baiguo hurriedly came forward to report.

Sanniang's face was not shocked, and she only said lightly: "Got it." ”

rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, got up and tidied up her dress and bun, and Sanniang took the maids out to say goodbye to the Sun family and the Xue family.

The ground is still wet, and the verandah in front of the wing room where Sanniang walked. Glancing at the courtyard, it was still dark today, and it was not raining, but it was foggy. It's just a small fog, and you can still see it clearly within a dozen steps.

In this kind of weather, the cold will drill into the sleeves and collar, and the bones will penetrate into the marrow.

"How long is the winter solstice?" Sanniang casually asked the maid behind her.

"Miss Hui, there's still a month." Bai Ying replied.

Sanniang nodded, no longer asking.

Walking to the eaves of the main house, before Sanniang entered the house, she heard Wuniang's crying voice: "...... Grandmother, please save my aunt. The granddaughter had heard that a few days would be the day of the autumn decision, and the prisoners in the Shuntianfu prison would not drag the winter solstice in the prison. Woo...... My aunt, she's going to die. ”

Sun didn't speak, but another voice that was a little gloating said, "Fifth sister, your aunt was sentenced to death by Shuntianfu because she committed a crime, what's the use of you begging your grandmother?" Grandmother is not a sitting lord. Instead of doing this useless work here, you might as well beg the third uncle. However, I heard that Aunt Cui was sent to Shuntian Mansion because she wanted to poison the third uncle and third aunt, so it must be useless for you to beg for it. Forget it, I think you should think about how to collect the body of your aunt, I heard that the corpses of these criminals are going to be thrown into the mountains, where there are many wild beasts. ”

Wu Niang's cry was even louder.

"Alright, shut up! Do you want me to be pure? Noisy here early in the morning! Sun said impatiently.

Sanniang motioned to the maid who opened the curtain and slowly walked in. Came forward to greet Sun. (To be continued)
