Chapter 296: Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess
Xia Jin saw that Su Muxian glanced at her meaningfully, she blinked, signaled him to rest assured, and then took a pen to write down a prescription and handed it to Mama Zhao: "Morning and evening, drink it warm." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shire." Mama Zhao said politely.
Xia Jin looked at the old lady Wu Anhou who was lying on the bed, and said, "Since the old lady is not comfortable, I won't bother." When these two doses are finished, I'll come back to see her. ”
At this time, Mrs. Wu'an Hou suddenly opened her eyes.
"Old lady, old lady." Mama Zhao became excited, squeezed Xia Jin away, and came to her.
Old Mrs. Wu Anhou stared at her for a long time, her mouth moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, closed her eyes again, and no matter how Mama Zhao called her, there was no response.
Mama Zhao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, whimpered twice, then stood up and said to Xia Jin: "County Lord, let the old slave trespass." In this Hou Mansion, except for the old lady, there is only one master. Hou Ye is busy with business, and he can't see anyone on duty in the palace all day. The old lady is lying like this, and there is no relatives by her side, which is not a problem. Since the county lord is Langzhong, he must have a lot of experience in how to care for patients. Can you stay here and take care of the old lady? When the Queen Mother knew about it, she would definitely praise the county lord for being filial and sensible, virtuous and kind-hearted. ”
Shu Shi stood beside him, looking at Mrs. Wu Anhou with very sympathetic eyes. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Xia Jin.
In her mind, even if the old lady of Wu'an Hou was a man-eating tiger, she had her teeth pulled out and was lying on the bed with her breath dying, and she no longer had the power to attack. Think about her husband dead, and so does her beloved son. There was only one Su Muxian left. It's the one who hit the mother again, and now she's killing her, it's really pitiful to think about.
So for Mama Zhao's proposal, she didn't think it was too much. If Xia Jin has nothing to do, it's okay to come here and serve for an hour or two every day.
For this, Xia Jin is really difficult to answer. Naturally, she was reluctant to come to serve Mrs. Wu'an. Don't say anything else. Just she sent people to hunt down Su Muxian. In Xia Jin's eyes, she is a woman like a snake and scorpion. Such a woman is dead in front of her, and she won't blink an eye. Not to mention serving her.
The most important thing is that this Mama Zhao's eyes flickered, obviously uneasy and kind. In order to frame her and Su Muxian, the master and servant did everything they could. When the time comes, she will come and serve. As a result, Mrs. Wu'an Hou took poison herself, and she must have said that she or Su Muxian killed her. Why should she have nothing to do to make a fuss? Didn't you see that Su Muxian avoided it?
She looked up at Shu. Seeing that Shu Shi was also looking at her, her eyes seemed to be waiting for her decision, and there was a trace of pity in her eyes, she really wanted to kneel for this virgin.
If it were Mrs. Shao's presence. will definitely give this to Mama Zhao back, and scold her for being a bloody dog. It was Shu's who came with him, and he couldn't count on it at all.
She was about to speak. Seeing that Su Muxian next to him had cold eyes, he said, "Mama Zhao." You're also an old man, why don't you understand anything at all? How can a girl run to her in-law's house all day long before she gets married? When the time comes, you won't be drowned by someone else's spit? Do you still want the reputation of the county lord? Ask her to serve the old lady, what is the use of raising you? Since you want to push the matter to others, and you just want to enjoy the blessings, then you don't have to wait, I will call Ya Po to come now, and sell you for a new batch. ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Mama Zhao to speak, she shouted, "Mother Jiang." ”
A woman in her thirties came in from outside and responded, "The old slave is here." ”
"Call Ya Po and sell them all and buy a new batch. If you don't serve the old lady well, you will change another batch until you are satisfied. ”
"Yes." Jiang's mother was very numb, and before the words fell, the person had already rushed out of the door.
Mama Zhao was dumbfounded, pointed at Su Muxian, and couldn't say anything: "You, you...... Do you dare to take advantage of the old lady's illness and sell us old people who have been serving the old lady for more than ten years? ”
"If you don't do your best, why can't you sell it?" Su Muxian's eyes flashed with cold light, and he swept over the mother-in-law and maids in the room one by one.
There was a mother-in-law who was very clever, and she came over and knelt down in front of Su Muxian, and begged: "Hou Ye, whatever Hou Ye tells in the future, the old slave will do it, never be lazy, and please leave the old slave." ”
Su Muxian glanced at her and didn't make a sound.
As soon as Mama Zhao heard what this mother-in-law said, she immediately became sad and angry, and pointed to the mother-in-law and said: "Mrs. Lu, the old lady is not thin on you, she is so sick, you dare to betray her?" When the old lady recovers, she will not be lenient to you. ”
When the maid in the house heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted. Mrs. Lu is surrendering to Hou Ye. The old lady's hatred for the waiter, they are waiting by her side, and they know it clearly. During the time when Hou Ye came back, he only came back two or three times, and the second time the mother and son had a fierce quarrel, and the rest of the time was in the palace. Without anyone else saying it, they can see that the mother and son are incompatible. Now that the old lady is sick, if she doesn't join the honest waiter, I'm afraid she will be sold. Moreover, with Hou Ye's hatred for the old lady, what good place can they be sold to? I don't know how miserable it will be when the time comes.
Before they wanted to stop doing this, Mrs. Lu sneered and said, "This is Wu'an Houfu, and Houye is the master of this mansion." The old lady is the mother of the grandfather. I listened to the orders of the waiting master, why did I betray the master? Could it be that in your eyes, Master Hou and the old lady are enemies? Mrs. Zhao, a good pair of mother and son have become enemies in your mouth, what are your intentions? ”
"You ......" Mama Zhao pointed at Mrs. Lu, her chest fell together, obviously angry.
Xia Jin raised his eyes and glanced at Su Muxian, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It seems that this Lu Pozi was bought by Su Muxian in advance, so she could rebel at this time. She was still worried just now, afraid that the mother-in-law and maid in this room would be sold by Su Muxian, and when the time came, someone would be ginseng, saying that as soon as his mother fell ill, he would sell all his mother's henchmen, and he must be trying to put his mother to death to avenge the previous hunt and killing.
For a woman who is already in bed and can't do anything, it's not worth being talked about like this.
Unexpectedly, Su Muxian arranged it very carefully step by step.
As soon as Mama Zhao's words came out, some of her brains suddenly became enlightened. Calculate the benefits and losses in your heart.
And after weighing the pros and cons, two or three felt that Lu Pozi's approach was the way of a smart person, so he knelt down beside her and said a few words of loyalty to Su Muxian.
"Qingman, Chu Man, you ...... The old lady is not kind to you, how dare you have an outside heart? Mama Zhao pointed to the two maids who were kneeling beside Mrs. Lu. Screamed.
Su Muxian's face sank. Said to the outside: "Someone." ”
Two small servants came in from outside, and arched over to Su Muxian and said, "Waiting for the master." ”
Su Muxian pointed at Mama Zhao and said, "This old woman has no master, and she slanders this grandfather." instigating the relationship between the master and the old lady can be punished. Pull her down and kill her with a rod! ”
"Yes." The two little guys stepped forward to pull Mama Zhao.
"You dare!" Mama Zhao is also a fierce child, and instantly took off a hairpin from her head. aimed at his throat and said to Su Mu. "I am your mother's nurse, serving your mother for more than 30 years, you treat me like this, are you worthy of your mother? Aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? You will reproach me. I killed myself at the old lady's bedside, so that God could see how you treated your mother. ”
As soon as her words fell, there was a "whoop". was kicked to the ground by Su Muxian, and the golden hairpin flew down to the old lady of Wu'an Hou with a "dangchang" sound. The two little guys are clever. stepped forward, twisted Mama Zhao's arm back, and lifted it up from the ground.
"If she scolds again, she will first slap her mouth fifty, and then she will be killed with a cane." Su Mu said casually.
Mama Zhao was still scolding non-stop, but when she heard this, she suddenly became dumbfounded.
No matter how loyal she is to Mrs. Wu'an Hou, she doesn't want to be tortured before she dies. If there is regret medicine at this time, maybe she won't have the courage to scold what she just said.
Seeing Mama Zhao who was kicked and kicked her legs and was brought out, the maid in the house was silent.
"Uh, uh, uh......" Old Mrs. Wu Anhou, who had been lying on the bed without moving, suddenly made a hoarse sound in her throat.
As soon as the maid named Ziman heard this voice, she rushed forward and called out to the old lady of Wu'anhou: "Madame......" The voice choked up.
Xia Jin glanced at her, and then set his eyes on Old Lady Wu'an Hou.
But the old lady Wu Anhou turned over and fell into a coma again.
"Madame, Madam......" Ziman knelt in front of the bed and cried "whining".
"The old lady is not dead yet, why are you crying?" Su Mu snorted, "Qingman, Chu Man, pull her out and hand her to Ah Bi and Ah Paper." ”
Qingman and Chu Man hesitated, then moved to Ziman's side and grabbed her arm. Qingman also quietly persuaded in his mouth: "Ziman, you listen to the master, don't be stupid." ”
At this time, Mother Jiang, who went out to invite Ya Po, came back to her life: "Hou Ye, Ya Po is already waiting outside." ”
Everyone subconsciously glanced outside, and saw two very sturdy mothers-in-law standing in the courtyard, with faces full of flesh and looking very fierce. Where is this Yapo? Is it clearly an executioner?
Everyone was suddenly frightened, and their brains turned around.
They are the maids and mothers-in-law who serve by the old lady of Wu'an. If the personal maids and mothers-in-law of the women of the powerful families make mistakes, they are never sold, so as not to spread the private affairs of the noblewomen and noblewomen. There were only two of them, either they were beaten to death, or they were doused with dumb medicine to do the dirtiest and most tiring work until they died of exhaustion.
Hou Ye said that he sold them, but in fact, he had them secretly executed, right?
Zi Man seemed to be choked by the neck, and her crying stopped abruptly.
She raised her eyes and looked at Su Muxian in panic, desperately dodging the hands of Qingman and Chu Man with her arms, but she couldn't avoid being imprisoned by them, so she nodded her body forward, as if she was kowtowing, and shouted in her mouth: "Hou Ye spare your life, Hou Ye spare your life." Zi Man didn't dare anymore, Zi Man would listen to the master in the future. ”
A touch of disgust flashed in Su Muxian's eyes, and he shouted, "Okay, let her go." ”
Qingman and Chu Man breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they are sisters who grew up together, and they don't want to pull Ziman out with their own hands and hand it over to Su Muxian's henchmen to deal with.
Su Muxian said coldly to the three maids who were huddled together: "Do you want to stay, or go out?" ”
Mrs. Wu Anhou is a paranoid person, and she is not very good to her subordinates. Except for Mama Zhao just now, who had some feelings for her because her milk was older, the rest of them had not yet reached the point of repaying her with their lives. There are two examples, Mama Zhao and Ziman, and the remaining two maids and a mother-in-law all knelt in front of Su Muxian and expressed their loyalty to him.
"Alright, get up. You serve the old lady well, and if I find the slightest neglect, I will not spare it. Su Muxian said with a cold face.
"The slave (old slave) doesn't dare." The men responded in unison and stood up.
Su Muxian turned his face at this time, slowed down his tone, and said to Shu's family: "Auntie, the younger generation is not effective in controlling the subordinates, which makes you laugh." ”
Shu Shi had already been stunned by Su Muxian's seemingly shameless methods, and at this time, seeing a smile on his face and a humble and polite appearance, he couldn't help but shudder.
She grabbed Xia Jin's arm tightly, a very stiff smile appeared on her face, and said to Su Muxian: "Where, no smile, no smile." ”
Xia Jin knew that his mother had an opinion on Su Muxian, and it was a very bad opinion.
She glanced at Su Muxian soothingly and said, "Then let's leave first." ”
"I'll send you out."
Xia Jin helped Shu's family, Su Muxian followed, and the three of them went out together.
In front of Shu's family, who had an opinion on Su Muxian, Xia Jin didn't want to say anything to him, walked outside, said a few kind words, got into the carriage, and left Wu'an Houfu.
"Can I get out of this marriage?" As soon as the carriage started, Shu Shi grabbed Xia Jin's arm and asked.
Xia Jin looked at her helplessly: "The queen mother gave her a marriage, how can she retreat?" ”
"But what about this?" Shu Shi sighed, "Old lady Xuanping Hou has always praised Su Houye, but he, he ......" She wanted to say that it was insidious and vicious, but taking care of her daughter's face, she took the words back to her mouth and said instead, "How can he treat his mother like this." There are all parents in the world, even if his mother was wrong before, but now that he is alone and sick, he may be killed by him, how can he be so eager to deal with her henchmen? It's not good to be said! ”
Hearing Shu Shi say this, Su Muxian, a nameless fire rushed straight to Xia Jin's heart.
Fortunately, she knew that Shu Shi was a glass heart, and her tears were powerful, Xia Jin was worried that her tone was heavy, and she couldn't be coaxed if she was so sad.
She forcibly suppressed her anger and said, "Then what if Mrs. Wu'an Hou is sick?" Do you want her to torture me to the death with help? What is the purpose of her coming back, there is so much talk outside, I don't believe you haven't heard it. In this way, you still want us to be kind to her, who is your daughter? (To be continued)
