"Xia's poisonous tongue has long been a well-known thing. Mrs. Zhao tried to harm the Xia family several times, but not only failed to succeed, but was also countered by the Xia family. It's no wonder that Xia would say that about her. Guo Zhao said indifferently.

She was calm on her side, but someone on the other side was already thunderous. Zhao scolded angrily in his heart, the hateful Xia family insulted her like this behind her back. She had a long-standing grudge against the Xia family, but she had always been afraid of her might and didn't dare to attack her easily.

I don't want her to hear the conversation between Guo Zhao and her maid this time, and the hatred for the Xia family in her heart has been aroused again.

This was a good opportunity, she thought. Maybe she can borrow a knife to kill.

"Besides, my mother also said that Mrs. Zhao should not be retained. Mrs. Zhao has been arrogant for so many years, and her mother has not seen it. It's just that it's somewhat out of my father's face, so I can't do it. In the future, if Zihuan inherits the throne, how can it be difficult for her mother to want to fall to Mrs. Zhao again. ”

"It seems that Mrs. Zhao will not have a good life in the future." The little maid continued, "Madam, there may be other ladies who can be used. Think again. ”

"I don't know who to use, it's just that. Let's take it one step at a time. Guo Zhao took her little maid and gradually walked away.

Zhao, who was hiding on the other side of the rockery, had already turned pale with fright, and a vicious chill arose from the soles of her feet, and she only felt cold all over her body.

She also flattered Bian, thinking that if she hugged her thighs tightly, her lower body would be rich and stable. But I didn't expect that Bian would have plans to get rid of her.

A pampered and arrogant woman like Xia is hateful, and a hypocritical and scheming smiling tiger like Bian is even more hateful.

A bold idea suddenly came to Zhao's heart, if she could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, it would be good. If she loses both, she is the happiest in her heart. But if only one party is injured, she doesn't want to see the other party too proud.

By the way, isn't there a great opportunity right in front of you?

She can help Guo Zhao. If the Xia clan is defeated, Guo Zhao can be regarded as owing her favors in the future. When Guo Zhao became the princess, she couldn't wait for her to eat and drink. Guo Zhao dared to turn her face, so she revealed her conversation with the maid today, which made Guo Zhao and Bian's disgrace ruined. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are smart people, so they wouldn't do that. As long as she holds Guo Zhao's handle in the future, what is she afraid of.

If she can't get it, she doesn't have to worry, she just walks away. Anyway, it was their mother-in-law's idea, and it couldn't be relied on her. If the East Window is in trouble and finds out about her, she can also threaten Bian to pull her. If Bian did not agree, she identified Bian as instructing her. It's a big deal to make a fish die and the net is broken, your Bian family can't keep me sooner or later, it's better for us to die together. Thinking about it this way, she doesn't lose either.

"Ma'am, ma'am, are you alright?" The maid beside him called out anxiously.

"I'm fine. Let's go, let's go back. Zhao turned to leave, "Today's events are not allowed to spread half a word." ”

"No."

On the day of the ancestor worship festival, the ladies in the backyard gathered in front of the ancestral hall early.

"I've worked hard for my sisters, and I'd like to ask my sisters to wait a while." Bian said comfortably.

"It's not hard. It's your sister, you've worked hard, and you've been busy in front of and behind the saddle these days. The women flattered.

This is said as if she is lazy in the summer, just her Bian family works hard, so she doesn't bother to worry about the summer.

Everyone praised the Bian family word by word, and no one was far behind. Xiang Xia was left out in the cold, and no one paid attention to him. She didn't know the same as those women, and consciously retreated.

"Sister, thanks to you this time. My sister wants to say to you, thank you. "The person who came was Huan's, and Huan's approached to salute.

"Huan'er, you're welcome." Xiang Xia stopped her, "I want to thank you, and I should thank you." ”

"Sister." Huan Shi was a little insincere for a while, looking at her and smiling lightly.

"Huan'er." Xiang Xia also smiled back at her.

When the time came, the women had enough of their sycophants. Xiang Xia stood up and said impatiently: "Why don't you start yet?" Let me wait here for the cold wind to blow? ”

"Hey, who's not."

"Just you talk a lot."

The women muttered and complained. Bian always pretended to be a good person in front of everyone, and she leaned over to Xiang Xia to comfort her: "Sister, wait a little longer, and soon it will be time to worship." ”

"You just said a little while, and now talk to me for a moment. Are you fooling people? Xiang Xia was dissatisfied.

"Sister, you can't say that. If you feel cold, my sister will send someone to fetch you a coat, and you can put it on your body to warm up. Bian asked Xiang Xia for a while, and greeted his subordinates for a while.

"Come less!" Xiang Xia shouted, "I can't wait any longer." Either you take me in and worship first, or I'll leave now. ”

"This ......" Bian is embarrassed now, she is kind enough to talk to Xia, "Sister, you must also pay attention to the time when you worship your ancestors, otherwise it will be disrespectful to your ancestors." Sister, listen to my sister's advice, wait for a while, and it won't be a while. Sister, do you say yes? ”

"How long should you be in this moment? Can't you understand people, I said I can't wait any longer. "I stressed it again to the summer.

The other women looked at each other, all of them were cold sweat pinched by Bian. I don't know what kind of temper this Xia is in, and she is not the only one here braving the cold and blowing the wind. They are the same, what is there to sprinkle fire, they are really spoiled by Cao Cao on weekdays.

"Ma'am." At the right time, Cui Qingshui stood up to speak to Xiang Xia, "When the imperial doctor came to ask for peace for the master yesterday, now the master's spleen and stomach are cold. And the master has been overworked lately, and her body is a little weak. I don't think it's a long time to stay here. ”

"Yo, she's really weak. I remember that she had mocked us like this before, and now it was finally her turn. Du Shi in the crowd sneered.

Cui Qingshui glanced at him, and Du realized that Cui Qingshui was not an ordinary slave, she was Cao Cao's person. Du Shi quickly lowered his head and shut up, saying no more.

"Sister, why didn't you say it earlier." Bian pretended to be very concerned. In previous years, the rituals were gathered one or two hours in advance to prevent any changes or accidents. I haven't seen anyone complain, but when she arrives in the summer, she is still a difficult lord to serve.

"It's not too late to tell you now, you take me in and worship first, and I'll leave after worshipping." Urging Summer.

"But it's not in order." Bian said stiffly.

"Rules are dead, but people live. I'm feeling unwell now, and if something goes wrong with me and I catch a cold, can you take responsibility? "Xiang Xia pretended to cover his mouth and rub his chest.

"If you're not feeling well, you might as well go back." Du Shi couldn't get used to Xiang Xia's arrogant face, and stood up and choked.

"Okay." Xiang Xia hooked the corners of his mouth, "Then I'll go back." When Cao Cao asked me, I said that someone rejected me and didn't want me to enter the Cao family ancestral hall to worship. ”

As she spoke, she turned to leave. Bian Shi hurriedly stopped in front of her, "Sister, don't be rash." I was able to prepare for this ritual without any problems, thanks to your dedication to helping me. How can you not participate in the worship, it is unreasonable. Besides, how can it be said that someone has rejected you, it's too late for my sister to hurt you. The other sisters will also remember your sister, how to reject it. ”

In order to prepare for the sacrifice, Bian did not sleep well for several days and nights. Isn't it just to please Cao Cao?

But if Cao Cao knew that the worship ceremony was not attended by the Xia family, she would have to be held accountable at that time. So all the hard work she has spent in the past few days has been in vain. Of course she didn't want that, she had to stay until the summer.

It is not only the Bian family that hopes to stay in the summer, but also the Zhao family. Zhao is still waiting to see the good show, how can he let the protagonist leave.

"Sister Xia, I've been working hard for you these days. Sister Bian, she said it well, the sacrifice is handled by you and Sister Bian. If you don't, we'll be embarrassed. Zhao also helped persuade, "Look at your pale face, and the circles under your eyes have come out." When the husband sees it, he will inevitably feel distressed again. In my opinion, Sister Bian might as well take Sister Xia in first. Our sisters honestly waited outside for the hour, and when the hour came, we went in again. ”

"Where is the wind blowing today, and you will help her speak." Du Shi looked at Zhao ridiculously.

Zhao glanced at Du Shi coldly, too lazy to argue with her. This Du Shi is still thinking about how to fight the Xia family, and it is unknown whether she can protect herself in the future.

"Although the rule has been the same over the years, we must worship our ancestors at the hour. But there is no rule that says that the time must not be changed. It shouldn't be a big problem earlier, Sister Xia is sick, presumably the ancestors will be considerate, and they won't blame my sister, nor will I blame you, Mrs. "Naturally, Huan is helping to speak to Summer.

"Mother, the ladies are all right. It's better to rely on Mrs. Xia. Guo Zhao also stood up and said.

Bian finally shook his mouth and relented, "Okay, since you all say so, then I'll listen to you." Sister, come with me. ”

If Bian insists on her own opinions, she will appear to be indifferent and ruthless, lacking human feelings. And I don't know if Xia is making trouble, if she pretends to be sick and goes to Cao Cao to complain, saying that she was implicated by her, wouldn't she be wronged.

Anyway, it won't take much time to worship her ancestors, so I just took her to finish worshipping earlier, and let her go back earlier. Save her from causing trouble for herself here.

"Don't miss the hour. When the hour came, he came in. "Bian's has the demeanor of a family, and he doesn't forget to remind him.

"Yes." The crowd responded.

Xiang Xia followed Bian into the ancestral hall, which was much warmer than outside.
