Chapter 9: Suspicion

She was in a bad mood, and her face was naturally not much better when she saw Wang come in!

"What's going on? How can it be so good that it will go away? What is the reason for this? ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang's heart was a little weak, and when he saw that the house was burned, he only cared about his heartache and flesh, but he forgot such an important thing in the back of his mind!

"Yet, not yet, not ......"

"Smack!" With a bang, the string of Buddhist beads that the old lady had twisted in her hand before was thrown heavily on the small yellow rosewood table carved with the four seasons of Ruyi on the side.

Wang was so frightened that he shuddered, and the whole person involuntarily shrank back, seeing that the old lady's liver fire became more and more vigorous.

Seeing this, He Shi, who followed into the door, knelt down obediently, bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Mother, although it was my younger sister's yard that had an accident, after all, it was my daughter-in-law who was not good and didn't take care of the house, so that there was such a big thing, please punish my mother." ”

Wang also knelt down when she saw it, she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and secretly hated He Shi for being too good at acting. Originally, it was enough to be wronged that his house was burned, but now he had to kneel down with He to admit his mistake.

Jiang saw that his eldest daughter-in-law was sincere, but he really didn't blame her, after all, he was in charge of such a big Xia Mansion, how could he do everything with a mask? Even when he was a housekeeper, it was impossible not to have omissions. Therefore, he didn't look at the Wang family, but only said to the He family: "You get up, there are indeed a lot of things in the house recently, and it is common for you to not take care of it." ”

"Thank you, Mother, for your forgiveness." He stood up and stood aside with his hands down.

After Jiang said this, he swept his gaze to the Wang family who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, this was also the daughter-in-law she personally picked back then, although it was not as stable and sensible as the eldest daughter-in-law, but it was also passable.

Therefore, she slowly suppressed the anger in her heart and taught earnestly: "Although you don't have to take care of the affairs in the house, you can also take care of the things in your own yard. Now that our house has not been divided, you can not worry about it, but if you divide the family in the future, the affairs of your second room will be handed over to you. Let me tell you, only if you worry more now, you will be able to work less in the future, do you understand this truth? ”

Wang nodded like pounding garlic, "Mother, daughter-in-law understands!" ”

At this time, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, the important thing is to follow the old lady's wishes, which is definitely right.

The old lady Jiang sighed heavily, the children are so old, and she doesn't have the energy to teach her daughter-in-law how to run the house, and how the second room will live in the future can only depend on their own.

"Get up!" After speaking, his eyes swept behind him and asked, "What about the second aunt and grandmother?" ”

He remembered that Xia Shi was eager to tear off his sleeves when he walked halfway, and couldn't help but glance at Wang, and then replied respectfully: "The second aunt and grandmother just got dusty clothes, and they said that they came to change their clothes." ”

The old lady knew that there was something wrong and didn't find out, so she only said: "That's it, you don't have to let her run around, and Miss Xuan, go back and have a good rest!" I'm tired, so do what you have to do! ”

"Yes!"

He knew that the old lady still loved the second aunt and grandmother very much, so he didn't say much and blessed the old lady who slowly withdrew from the Qingsong Courtyard with Wang's blessing.

As soon as he walked outside the door, He saw Xia Yixue, Xia Qingluan and the two cousins still waiting in the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward with a loving smile to reassure: "It's okay, the old lady is going to rest, let you all go back!" ”

Chu Peijin quietly breathed a sigh of relief! Fortunately, you don't need to see the old lady, so you don't have to kneel!

"Mother, are you okay?"

Xia Yixue stepped forward and hugged Wang's arm, looking worried!

"Mother is fine, sister-in-law, let's go first!" The Wang family hid something in his heart, and he didn't talk to the He family politely, and left in a hurry with Xia Yixue after speaking.

Chu Peijin also quit He and the others and went back to the guest house where he lived, and Cuizhu hurriedly brought tea and snacks. My own girl has been out for so long, I'm afraid I'm hungry.

Chu Peijin sighed, it is comfortable to have someone waiting for her.

remembered that in her previous life, because she didn't like outsiders to appear in her residence, she didn't even invite a maid. As soon as I get home, I have to do what I want to eat, how can I enjoy it like this now, it seems that crossing is not all without benefits!

She was secretly complacent, and suddenly saw Cuizhi running in in a hurry, and her face was a little pale and reported: "Girl, Second Master Xia is here again!" ”

That cheap second uncle?

"Don't worry, just wait outside, and when you see him, she says I'm changing my clothes and asks him to wait."

Seeing Chu Peijin's face as usual, Cuizhi unconsciously calmed down, and hurriedly ran out in response, but Chu Peijin admired Chu Peijin very much.

Slowly and methodically, she ate two more pieces of plum blossom-shaped osmanthus cake, and then she got up and went inside to let Cuizhu help her pick a peach-colored satin embroidered hundred butterfly skirt again, and then walked out slowly.

Xia Cunlu had already been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

Although it is only a guest yard, there are still a lot of flowers and trees planted in the yard, a osmanthus tree is planted on the right side of the yard, and dozens of pots of chrysanthemums are planted in the small flower garden next to it, which are competing to bloom, adding some vitality to this small yard.

There is a square stone table under the osmanthus tree, on which is placed the tea served by the green branches, but it seems that it has not been moved. Because Xia Cunlu had something on his mind, he didn't even sit on the stone bench, but just walked around under the ground tree.

At this time, seeing Chu Peijin come out calmly, Xia Cunlu's impatience when he was waiting just now slowly subsided inexplicably.

Chu Peijin walked over and blessed herself: "Peijin has seen the second uncle, I don't know what the second uncle is saying when he comes over again?" ”

Looking at this niece who had never met twice, Xia Cunlu found that in addition to her slightly yellow complexion, this niece's eyebrows and eyes were very exquisite, and her appearance and figure were no less than the eldest daughter of the eldest brother's family who was elected to the palace! He unconsciously thought of the appearance of his brother-in-law and his own sister-in-law, although they looked good, they were just good. This Chu Peijin, is it a good bamboo shoot from the bamboo?

Ay! It's a pity, it's not my own daughter!

"Is Jin'er used to living here?"

"Thank you for your concern, but I chose the bed last night, and the bed in this room was so hard that I didn't sleep well for most of the night. Therefore, since my uncle cares about Jin'er so much, Jin'er is cheeky and tells the truth, I am indeed a little unaccustomed to living here. ”

“……”

Why is the eldest girl of the second sister's family so immodest? This is not according to common sense, so how can he ask? Generally don't you have to say, it's okay, thank you for your concern or something?

Xia Cunlu unconsciously remembered in his mind how shocked he was when he saw Chu Peijin safe and sound.
