Chapter 222: The Smiling Tiger and the Wolf in the Mountain (I)
"Mrs. Xue Santai is neither sitting nor standing in the room, as long as she thinks of the consequences of this, she will panic for a while.
She never thought that Xue Chongren would do such a thing outside without permission.
It's just a matter of accepting a serious woman, the other party turned out to be a married woman, and now Xue Chongren was threatened to write a confession document, and the handle was in the hands of others, so he could only be forced to ask for money.
The third lady sat on the chair with her ass, and if everyone knew about it, she would not be able to raise her head for the rest of her life, and maybe the old lady would dare to leave the house in a fit of anger.
The third lady was thinking about it, when the maid outside came and said, "The old lady is in pain. ”
The third wife was busy asking the maid to help her change her clothes, and was about to go out, but she was somehow timid, standing in the house and not daring to go out, and the evil Chang's family had not come back to inquire about the news, so Mrs. Xue thought that it would be better to stay for a while, and wait for the Xing Chang's family to come back to hear the situation.
The room was quiet, the third lady sat on the chair in despair, and suddenly heard the footsteps of Xing Changyuan's house, the third lady couldn't care about how to be frightened, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any news from the master?" What the hell is going on? ”
Xing Changyuan's face was pale, and his lips trembled, "There is still no news," and after a pause, he said, "When I came back, I saw that Hou Ye had left the house." The third lady nodded, and suddenly remembered something, the old lady is not feeling well at this time, what did Ming Rui do when he left the house? Could it be that you heard something?
The third wife glanced at Xing Changyuan's house.
Xing Changyuan's family said: "Don't worry, Mrs., Master Hou must have something to do in the yali." ”
The third lady stood up, she always felt that there were many eyes staring at them these days, maybe someone knew.
Why is the old lady feeling distressed at this moment? Did you hear someone gossiping in someone's ear?
The third lady looked at Xing Changyuan's house, "Follow me to the old lady's house." ”
The third wife took Xing Changchang's family and hurriedly entered the old lady's courtyard, the second and fourth masters stood and talked in the courtyard, Mrs. Xue and the second wife listened to the imperial doctor outside, and the second wife saw that the third lady was coming, and just wanted to speak, but the third lady preemptively said: "I'll go see the old lady." This eagerness is quite different from what is usually done.
Before Mrs. Xue and the second wife could speak, the third lady had already turned around and lifted the curtain in the inner room.
As soon as the maids removed the curtains in the house, and the windows in the house were wide open, Mother Li instructed the little maids to remove all the incense burners in the house.
Someone else brought ice cubes and placed them around.
Seeing the third wife, the subordinates stepped forward to salute, and the third lady looked at Mother Li with a pair of eyes like nails, "How is the old lady?" Mother Li was stunned by the sharp gaze, and then replied: "It's probably too hot, so the old lady has an old illness." ”
The people in the old lady's house were still as usual with her, the third lady breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward, poked her head over, and vaguely saw the big kang behind the curtain, the old lady was lying there on the big pillow, Rong Hua sat behind the old lady to help the old lady rub her back, and from time to time lowered her head and said something to the old lady.
The third wife felt a chill in her heart. How many years has she been married into the Xue family, and she still doesn't know this truth, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, if anyone has something, don't think that she can cover up the past.
The old man has been out for so long and has not even had a letter, presumably it has not gone well, and she has spent a lot of money without a result, and she has no other way. Since you can't hide it, it's better to confess it yourself than to let others say it.
Thinking so, swallowed. Spitting, his head was numb with a "bang", and he involuntarily walked up to the old lady and just spoke.
Rong Hua's voice came from his ears, "Third aunt, the imperial doctor said that the old lady should rest a lot and not work too hard, so that she can be nourished." ”
The third lady followed the voice and raised her head to look at Rong Hua.
Rong Hua's eyes did not dodge looking over, his eyes were bright and clear, and he bowed slightly to the third wife.
The third lady hesitated, and the old lady sighed and said, "It's all an old problem" The weather has been suffocating for the past two days. As he spoke, he braced his arms to get up.
The third lady and Rong Hua hurriedly helped the old lady up.
Mrs. Xue, the second master, the second wife, the fourth master, the fourth wife, the eldest grandmother Qian, Xue Yishuang and others came into the house, and the old lady looked at everyone again, "Where is the use of such a teacher, but it is just a heartache, and it scares you all like this." ”
The second old man hurriedly stepped forward, "The medicine will be fried in a while, and the mother will drink the medicine to the sons to rest assured." ”
The third lady looked sideways, and everyone's eyes were on the old lady.
The maids moved the brocade and the ladies sat down in the old lady's room.
Count the people in the house, "There are only two missing: Xue Mingrui and the third master."
Mrs. Xue did not squint and told the old lady what Lang Zhong had instructed, the second wife helped to speak on the side, the fourth lady just listened quietly, the second master and the fourth master passed the prescription prescribed by Lang Zhong to see, Qian coaxed Brother Run to play, and Brother Run was going to go to the old lady kang when he saw the old lady.
Qian spoke to Brother Run very patiently, "Brother Run, my great-grandmother is sick, and Brother Run can't rest when he plays with his great-grandmother in the past, so he has to eat several bowls of bitter medicine." Brother Run seemed to understand, Wei Chu pinched his nose, and ...... as if he was drinking bitter medicine, Brother Run is obedient.
When the old lady heard Brother Run's voice, she smiled complainingly and said to Qian, "Don't frighten the child, I'm sick, I'm just a little tired." ”
Brother Run repeated solemnly: "Brother Run, great-grandmother drinks less bitter medicine."
The old man was immediately amused.
Rong Hua looked at the Qian family sitting in the corner, no wonder the old lady liked Brother Run, the Qian family taught Brother Run really well, and people liked it when they looked at it. Husband and child, Qian has done the best, and never talks big on weekdays, "all the heart is on the husband and the child, and the old lady always looks at Qian with a little satisfaction in her eyes."
Everyone's eyes were on Brother Run, and the second wife looked at the third wife, "What about the third uncle?" Haven't come back yet? ”
The third lady couldn't help but be nervous, "...... No. "Look back at the evil long-term family" The evil long-term family slowly retreated.
The evil long-term family slowed down all the way, pretending that there was no difference between normal days, and when they arrived at the second gate, they found a trustworthy mother-in-law and asked the mother-in-law to arrange for the next person to wait for the third master at the gate of the house.
The woman went down, but the evil long-term family was still not at ease, and she was also waiting for the second door.
As soon as the evil long-term family found a place to sit down, the mother-in-law who had just gone out hurriedly came back and said, "Oh no, a few people are rushing to the house, could it be ......", the evil long-term family's face suddenly changed, and the mother-in-law, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Let's find out what's going on. In the end, there was already a trill, and the woman also understood the power of this, and hurriedly turned around and went out, who knew that the left foot tripped and the right foot suddenly fell in front of the second door.
The woman didn't care if she had a bruised nose and swollen face, so she got up and went to the front.
The heart of the evil long-term family is getting colder, it can't be that those people are unwilling to give up, and they still want to make a fuss all over the house after taking the silver of the third master, so that they can get the silver from the house again. After all, the third master wrote people in black and white, even if he found someone from the yamen to suppress this matter, it would make the city full of storms.
The evil long-term family was nervously wandering around in front of the second door, and a person came in from the outside unexpectedly, and the whole person of the evil long-term family crashed into that person.
This Xing Changchang's family is the right-hand mother of the third wife, and she has always given orders for the third wife in the house on weekdays, and at this time she was uneasy about the third master's affairs, and there was nowhere to release the anger accumulated in her heart, and she raised her head to see that it was Su Changchang's mother-in-law who was doing chores in the long house, so she glared, "Dog-like, rushing to reincarnate?" Su Changchang's family was going to apologize, but he didn't know that the evil long-term family was holding on and scolding, so he simply didn't lower his voice, and only said: "There are a few scoundrels in front of me to make trouble, and my man is looking for a few family members to drive the scoundrels away" I went over to take a look, who knew that I would bump into you when I came back. ”
When the evil long-term family heard this, the rest of the words suddenly choked in their throats, and seeing that Su Changchang's family was standing still, he was busy changing his tone again, "That'...... That...... Did you drive it away? ”
Su Changjiujia said: "I don't know yet." But he went to the house.
Su Changchang's family took a step forward, and the evil Changchang's family hurriedly got out of the way, and followed Su Changchang's family to inquire about the news, "Do you want someone to go to the mansion to report?" ”
was angry before, but now he is laughing aside.
Su Changchang's family glanced at Xing Changchang's family, "Who knows, it shouldn't be used, it's not a big deal." ”
The evil long-term family chimed in, "Yes, it's not a big deal. ”
Sending Su Changchang's family away, Xing Changchang's family waited until the mother-in-law came in and replied, "A few family members in the eyebrows drove those people away." ”
The evil long-term family breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman said: "Who knows that I just met the uncle who came back from the yali, and now the uncle is over there, and I don't know if I asked anything." ”
The eyes of the evil long-term family suddenly turned black.
I thought I would be able to get through this hurdle smoothly, but who knew that I would be met by the uncle so coincidentally. How can the uncle meet without asking...... I can't hide it.
Rong Hua rubbed the old lady's back for a long time, the old lady felt much more comfortable, took Rong Hua's hand and smiled kindly, "You take a break and let Xue Yu come up and do it." ”
Xue Yu hurriedly helped Rong Hua down, and went to the kang to rub the old lady's back.
Rong Hua found a brocade and sat down.
Even if the third uncle could hide this matter from other people in the house, he couldn't get around the old lady, and he was going to talk to the old lady, but he didn't expect the old lady to fall ill.
Now I will tell the old lady what is going on, and I am afraid that it will aggravate the old lady's illness, so I can only wait for Xue Mingrui to come back and discuss it.
Rong Hua glanced at the third wife who was holding the veil tightly.
I don't know how Xue Mingrui and the third uncle did things? She also asked Su Changjiu and others to look at the front of the house in advance, and instructed Su Changjiu to let his family suppress people and wait for Hou Ye to come back to deal with them.
If things go well, "I should be able to wait until Xue Mingrui comes back."
