Chapter 417: Cloud Surge (Part II)

Tao's mother walked in slowly.

Eleven Niang hugged and sat on the kang. Her jet-black hair was curled very casually, and she was wearing a rose-purple jacket, lined with a face that was extraordinarily crystalline, and there was no hint of a pregnant woman's amazement. Looking at Xu Lingyi beside her, she was wearing a homely Buddha head and Qinghang silk straight jacket, her eyes were bright, and she looked radiant. A few of the eleven mothers who served close were there. Everyone is either serving the eleventh mother, or serving the flowers and plants in the house, all of them are full of cheerful smiles, and the house is full of vitality.

Mother Tao looked at her heart slightly.

I haven't seen this scene in years.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that since Yuanniang got married, this thing and that thing always makes people unhappy, and such joy has never appeared again.

Seeing her come in, everyone bowed their heads and greeted her.

Mother Tao smiled slightly, stepped forward and bent her knees to salute Eleven Niang: "Fourth lady! ”

Eleven Niang went around and spent so much thought, but she just wanted to go by herself. Choosing to go, not only means living up to Yuan Niang's trust, but also watching Brother Zhen fall into the wolves like a lamb to be slaughtered, what is the difference between that and letting her die; If she chooses not to go, she will face disrepute and be driven out of the Yongping Marquis Mansion in humiliation, and she will also watch her brother being handed over to the ill-intentioned Eleven Niang, then she is more uncomfortable alive than dead. In that case, what is the difference between going and not leaving?

"You've put so much effort into it, but you just want me to take the initiative to resign." She looked at Eleven Niang with a smile, her expression was no longer empty and wronged, and her eyebrows were full of the tragedy of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and leaning towards the tiger mountains", "Otherwise, you should have spread the news of Tao Cheng's arrest yesterday, and then sent my mother to question me and kick me out......"

The sounds in the room stopped abruptly, everyone looked at each other, and tension filled the air.

Xu Lingyi frowned slightly, looked at Eleven Niang worriedly, and stopped talking.

Eleven Niang gave him a "I'm fine" smile.

Xu Lingyi whispered, "I'm just outside", and then lifted the curtain and left.

Mother Tian dared to retreat at this time, leaving Amber and Yanrong to serve on the side.

"Mom is right!" Eleven Niang lazily leaned on the big pillow of Danmo, looking at Mother Tao's eyes clear and clear, "I am indeed worried about the face of the Luo family, so I didn't do it yesterday and left a way out for you." ”

In front of her own questioning, Eleven Niang was so straightforward, which made Tao's mother feel slightly cold, and she couldn't help straightening her back: "What if I don't go?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and picked up a big red cherry in the crystal plate: "Mom, do you want to negotiate terms with me?" ”

"Don't dare to talk about conditions!" Mother Tao's eyes were full of chill when she looked at Shi Niang: "It's just that although the fourth lady's methods are clever, they are like birds who don't know the ambition of the birds." Am I the kind of person who only thinks about my own safety and ignores my master's predicament......"

Eleven Niang laughed when she heard this.

"I really can't understand my mother's ambition." She interrupted Tao's mother's words, "However, I thought that Manager Tao was still short of two thousand taels of silver in the middle school, but my mother could not move a stitch and thread in the eldest sister's house, which is really admirable." ”

Tao's mother was stunned when she heard this.

Eleven Niang has said: "Mom can keep her duty, and there is also that merit." What's more, the embezzlement of the silver in the public was done by Tao Cheng, although he is your son, but his mother often lives in the Hou Mansion, so there is inevitably negligence. ”

She said, looking at Mother Tao with blazing eyes.

"Steward Tao is now involved in a murder case, you are the mother of Steward Tao, and you must be very worried about the safety of your son. I don't think so. Mom moved to the Grange these days. Tao steward owes the public and the bank, for the sake of my mother, I will temporarily help the mat, my mother sent an IOU to me, and when my eldest brother returns to Beijing from Yuhang, we will discuss what to do.

"Lu Yonggui often walks around outside and is well-informed, I say hello to him, and let him accompany you to deal with the lawsuit of the Tao manager. At the Zhao steward of the Hui Office, I will also say that if you have anything difficult, you can also come to him. It's always a bad thing to get into a lawsuit. In order to prevent someone from making a fuss about this, in front of people outside, it is better to say that the Tao steward is seriously ill, for the sake of your loyalty, I specially allow you to go to the Grange to take care of him, and help him deal with some daily affairs on the Grange by the way. When Steward Tao was released from prison, he just had a break and suppressed the shock.

"When this matter is over, the prince is going to get married, you come back and help the prince with some housekeeping, and it will not be in vain for the eldest sister's entrustment."

When Eleven Niang said a word, Tao's mother's face sank, and when she finished speaking, Tao's mother's face was pale.

If you dig a pit and ask me to jump, I not only have to jump in obediently and break my leg by jumping in, but I also have to be grateful and preach your goodness everywhere.

How can there be such a thing as being cheap and selling well!

She was so angry that her sideburns and muscles were up, she raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak, when she heard the voice of Eleven Niang in her ears.

"Mom, speaking of which, we've been together for two or three years. I don't dare to say anything else, but in terms of 'integrity and commitment', I think I have done a good job. There are some things that you need to think about carefully. She said with a warning, "Go to the Grange, not only can you have Tao Cheng's reputation, but when the prince gets married, you can also come back justifiably." If you don't go to the Grange, Tao Cheng has an accident, you are ashamed, you can't think about it for a while, and it is not impossible to kill yourself. ”

"You ......" Tao's mother gasped, her face was blue and white.

Shi Niang brought tea: "I heard that those old people in prison often bully those who are new to the prison, and some of them are beaten into tricks." The affairs of the Tao steward cannot be delayed. Mom, let's go back and pack the cage! Then say goodbye to the prince, and hurry to the Grange before dark! ”

Mother Tao was so angry that she stood there for a long time and didn't come back to her senses.

Amber and Yanrong exchanged glances, and set her up left and right: "Mom, don't be sad, Steward Tao is very lucky, nothing will happen!" Then he dragged her out.

Eleven Niang took a long breath and felt a little tired.

Xu Lingyi walked in. Seeing her look a little stunned, he touched her head: "Tired?" ”

Shi Niang shook her head: "Why is it so difficult to eliminate a person's prejudices?" "It's very emotional.

"What's going on?" Xu Lingyi thought of Mother Tao who was dragged out, and half-hugged her in her arms as if comforting.

Or because of pregnancy, Eleven Niang often feels low on energy.

She snuggled softly in Xu Lingyi's arms, whispered, and told Xu Lingyi how Tao's mother was fueled, how Brother Chen was ignorant of the world, and how she entrusted Lu Yonggui and Yang Huizu to persuade Tao's mother, and let Manager Bai find two officials from Shuntian Mansion to tell Xu Lingyi all about Tao Cheng's detention in the firewood room in the outer courtyard: "...... I also know that when it comes to loyalty, Mother Tao is the most loyal to Brother Chen. But her heart is too small, and she can't tolerate things as big as sesame mung beans...... Brother Zhen is at an age where he seems to understand or not...... It's better to let her go to the grange to live with her son for a few days, and when Brother Zhen is older and knows how to distinguish between right and wrong, it will not be too late to take her back to serve Brother Zhen......"

Xu Lingyi frowned at first, and when he heard that Lu Yonggui and Yang Huizu had deceived Tao's mother, there were a few smiles in his eyes, and when he heard that Tao Cheng was just locked up in the firewood room, he couldn't help laughing: "Fortunately, I met Tao's mother, a woman from the inner house, if it were someone else, I would know it as soon as I inquired in Shuntianfu, how could I fall for you!" ”

"If it were someone else, naturally I wouldn't be able to use such a strategy." Eleven Niang smiled, "Could it really be that Tao Cheng got into a lawsuit because of Tao's mother's matter!" As she spoke, she thought of Brother Chen's attachment to Tao's mother, and her tone was a little unpleasant, "Lu Yao knows horsepower, and he will see people's hearts for a long time." After a few years, Brother Zhen grew up smoothly, and Tao's mother's heart knot was untied. ”

Xu Lingyi thought of Shi Niang's kindness to the children, and kissed her forehead affectionately.

Tao's mother asked the little maid to help her pack the cage and went to Shuangfu Courtyard by herself.

Xu Sizhen was in class, and when he saw Tao's mother looking for him, his face was full of surprise.

"Brother," Tao's mother looked at his painted eyebrows, but she couldn't see enough. I think that at the beginning, when she was on an errand under Yuan Niang, she didn't know how many flatbreads she drew for those maids and mothers-in-law, how could she believe in Eleven Niang's promise? This time, the chances of coming back are slim. I thought that the left and right were just a "death" word, so I made up my mind to break the net, and now Eleven Niang asked her to leave the Yongping Marquis Mansion with dignity, even if there was a glimmer of hope, she didn't want to give up. "Tao Cheng broke his leg when he went back last night," she said, with Amber telling her excuse, "Madame asked me to go back and see Tao Cheng, and help him take care of the Grange by the way." I'll be back when he's better! ”

Xu Sichen listened to the sound of "oops", and his little face was full of worry: "Does it matter if Brother Cheng matters?" I have 'Sanqi' in my library, and I'll ask Xi'er to pack some for you to take back." As he spoke, he had to shout Xi'er.

"Slow down, brother!" Tao's mother grabbed Xu Sizhen, "I rushed to see Tao Cheng, I have a few words to tell you." ”

"What is Mommy going to tell me?" Xu Sichen looked at Mother Tao with clear eyes.

Mother Tao couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at it.

She whispered to Xu Si: "Now that the fourth lady is pregnant, the thoughts of Mrs. Tai and the Hou Ye are all on the fourth lady. You're going to have to take care of yourself later. If there is anything undecided, he sends the little servant to the grange and asks me. You have to remember. In this Yongping Hou Mansion, in addition to the Hou Ye, the most noble person is the prince. Therefore, I don't know how many people are staring at your position as the son of the world and want to rob you of the throne of the son. You must not be careless. Also, don't just eat what others give; Don't go to remote places; Everywhere you go, you have to take your maid and mother-in-law with you; If you want to leave the house, you must agree to the Hou Ye......"

Xu Sichen listened carefully and felt that there was something wrong with Tao's mother's words.

"Mom," he interrupted Tao's mother, "you're not right. My mother said, I was born as a son, and no one can take it away. Why do you say that someone wants to rob my son? ”

Tao's mother looked up and saw that Yan Rong, who had accompanied her, was already impatient.

She didn't have time to explain to Xu Sichen. I had to hurriedly say: "You have to remember, keep the green mountains here, and you are not afraid of no firewood." If you are secretly wronged, don't have a casual attack, you have to endure it, don't let Mrs. Tai and Master Hou think you are delicate. But if someone is rude in front of you, you must tell Mrs. Tai and Master Hou to call the shots for you. ”
