Back in the house, Mrs. Yan was not yet awake, and Shaohua asked everyone to leave and sat on the edge of Mrs. Yan's bed. Lin's words swirled back and forth in her mind, disturbing her to even find her own thoughts, and I have to say that this news shocked her too much. She looked at Mrs. Yan with her eyes closed, and only felt that her face was soft and her demeanor was serene, which was really different from the fierce and vicious character she imagined.

If it was really as the Lin family said, Mrs. Yan had already been prepared to seek death, and she planned to commit suicide as soon as the Xu He family fell, then how could she ensure that Empress Dowager He would not do her best to protect them, thinking that Empress Duanming had also hanged herself in order to protect the Wang family. After Yan Su's death, Mrs. Yan took her young children all the way back to Beijing, and when they were blocked by Qi Yan's door, it was Empress Dowager He who saved them. Speaking of this situation, Mrs. Yan should not trap the Empress Dowager He in dire straits, and they are still cousins who grew up together.

However, Shaohua remembered the words he heard in the Queen Mother's bedroom that day, and couldn't help but have doubts about the relationship between the two.

"Hmm, ahem." Mrs. Yan moaned softly and pulled Shaohua's thoughts back, she got up and walked over, bent down, and asked softly, "A-Niang, do you want to drink some water?" As he spoke, he turned around to pour water, and when he walked back, Mrs. Yan had already opened her eyes and looked at her with some surprise.

Shaohua pretended to be calm, put the cup on the side of the bed, leaned over to help her up, and stuffed two more cushions behind her, his movements were gentle and careful, without any pretentiousness.

"Auntie, drink water." Shaohua brought the cup to her again, looked at her inquiring eyes, and smiled, "A-Niang, are you hungry, I stewed wolfberry red dates and barley porridge, and this will be served." ”

When Mrs. Yan saw Shaohua turn around to leave, she hurriedly shouted: "Wait, why are you here." ”

Shaohua looked back at her and replied softly: "It's the daughter-in-law who is not filial, I haven't come to say hello to A-Niang for so long, and I don't even know that A-Niang is sick." I just trained the maids, and I didn't even report such a big thing, and I came to serve my mother every day in the future. ”

Mrs. Yan drank it in a sip of water, almost choking, and looked at her with wide eyes, "Every day? You have nothing to do here, what are you doing here, don't you care about so many things in the Hou Mansion? ”

Shaohua looked at Mrs. Yan with a pitiful expression, "A-Niang, there are so many things in the Hou Mansion, I can't manage them alone, and now I still have a kid, and I will be annoyed to death by him all day long." Therefore, the daughter-in-law wanted to ask A-Niang to help take care of things. ”

Mrs. Yan looked at her, her bulging face pretended to be innocent and pitiful, but she had a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't say, and said impatiently: "Don't want to drag me into the water, you are in charge of this family, and I am an old woman who interferes with something." ”

Shaohua pretended to be surprised and said: "A-Niang looks like a thirty-year-old person, how can she be old." "It's Shaohua's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense, and even Mrs. Yan was bluffed by her serious look." I know that A-Niang is troublesome, but the daughter-in-law is stupid and really lacks skills. Because of the matter of the jade cicada, now I don't dare to casually put my son in a place where I can't see it, and this kid has also become recognizable. ”

Listening to Shaohua's words, Mrs. Yan fell silent, she didn't know what Shaohua's intentions were when she went around in such a big circle.

Shaohua looked at the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Otherwise, raise the dough in A-Niang's place, he is getting older day by day, and I can't follow him every day." Suddenly, he made a shy appearance again, and whispered: "The husband also said that he wanted a daughter, but the dough followed us, well, it was inconvenient." ”

If she had heard such words before, Mrs. Yan would have agreed without saying a word, but now it is not what it used to be, she has already made up her mind, and raising her grandson in front of her will only shake her will.

"Wu Niang, listen." Mrs. Yan sighed, looked at Shaohua, and sighed with emotion, "In the future, this family will be handed over to you, no matter what happens, you must believe Kaizhi, he just doesn't like to speak." ”

The nightmares of the past few days have tortured her to the point of a collapse of her mind, especially after receiving the news that Jin Zhaocheng's whereabouts were revealed, she knew that once the matter was revealed, she would definitely be unable to escape. It's not a pity for her to die, but her son, daughter, and grandson, she can't let them accompany her to suffer, so as long as the matter is over, she will apologize with death, with the ability of the Li family and Hongyi's affection for Yan Kaizhi, even if she cuts the official and wins the title, at least she can save her life.

Shaohua naturally knew that she was explaining what was going on, but she pretended not to know, and replied with a smile: "A-Niang, don't worry, I know his heart, no matter what happens, I will not leave him." ”

Hearing Shaohua's assurance, Mrs. Yan was also a little more steady, "That's good." ”

But before she could continue to explain Laneige's affairs, Shaohua had already answered: "Since this is the case, then I will bring the dough over later, and I will bother A-Niang more in the future." After speaking, she got up and called someone to bring the porridge in, but Mrs. Yan was confused.

"Why do you want to bring him over, don't don't, I don't want to help you take the child." Mrs. Yan waved her hand in a bit of a panic.

"Didn't A-Niang just agree?" Shaohua asked rhetorically.

Mrs. Yan's eyes widened, and she said in a loud voice, "When did I promise you!" "How did she feel that she was set a trap by Shaohua.

Shaohua replied with a serious face: "A-Niang said to hand over the home to me, since I am asked to take care of the house, of course the child has to be handed over to A-Niang." Shaohua couldn't help but say, "A-Niang, don't worry, the dough is fun now, with him by A-Niang's side, A-Niang will not be lonely." ”

Mrs. Yan was disturbed by her rhetoric, and seeing that she didn't take what she just said seriously, she immediately lowered her face, "Don't bring the child over, I won't help you bring it." ”

When Chu He brought the porridge in, he saw that the atmosphere was stiff, and he couldn't help but be a little timid, so he carefully put down the plate and quietly retreated.

Shaohua knew that the soft one would not work, so he could only reason with her frankly, looking at Mrs. Yan with a black face, she silently scooped a bowl of porridge and brought it over. Mrs. Yan didn't look at her angrily, her eyes were stiff and stern, "Take it, I won't eat it." ”

"Auntie, I won't tell you, I know everything." Shaohua's words attracted Mrs. Yan's attention, and seeing her turn her head curiously, Shaohua blew hot air and brought the porridge to Mrs. Yan's mouth. "A-Niang eats first before she has the strength to listen to me, otherwise I will let people call her husband back."

In the last sentence, Shaohua was gambling, betting that Mrs. Yan did not let Yan Kaizhi participate in the matter, otherwise, with Yan Kaizhi's temperament, how could she let Mrs. Yan give up on herself and ignore it.

Sure enough, she won the bet, but her heart was even more sad.

Mrs. Yan looked at her calm expression, and she wasn't sure if she was provoking her, but after a while, she exhaled deeply, took the bowl in Shaohua's hand, and ate all the barley porridge. The nervous breakdown in the past few days had already emptied her stomach, and this bowl of sweet barley porridge poured out her appetite.

Shaohua quietly watched her finish eating, took the bowl, and served another bowl to her, before saying, "If A-Niang is really for the good of her husband and them, she will take care of her body." I think that the husband and Laneige would rather accompany A-Niang to endure hardships and sins than be under A-Niang's protection. ”

"How much do you know?" Mrs. Yan held the bowl and did not continue to eat, but looked at Shaohua.

Shaohua met her eyes and said softly: "I know everything I should know, now I am the Yan family, and the affairs of the Yan family are also my business, and A-Niang does not have to bear it alone." ”

Madam Yan sneered, her eyes already revealing her compromise, "What do you know. ”

Shaohua still looked at her eyes and said seriously: "I know that the official was victimized by the traitor, and I also know that the murderer is not Xu Ke, but someone else. Although Xu Ke was cut to the rank at the beginning, he was still safe and sound, and if it were me, I would never let him go. Mrs. Yan was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect Shaohua to even know about Xu Ke, and her mood gradually sank from her words, "But A-Niang, when it comes to this, the great revenge will be avenged, and the spirit of the great official in the sky must hope that you are all safe." ”

"No, don't say it!" Mrs. Yan suddenly shouted out of control.

Shaohua was a little puzzled, and she didn't know which sentence stimulated her, "Okay, I won't say it, but A-Niang, you must take care of yourself, otherwise both your husband and Laneige will be worried." She didn't know if Yan Kaizhi's brother and sister could make Mrs. Yan calm down.

Mrs. Yan closed her eyes, as if she was going through a struggle of thoughts, "You go back, I want to be alone and quiet." ”

Shaohua hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to walk away, "Then I'll go outside, and if there is anything, A-Niang will call me." ”

Mrs. Yan shook her head and said, "Go back to your yard, I can't die for the time being." Even if she was going to die, it would never be now, and she had to watch them walk ahead of her before she could feel at ease. She glanced at Shaohua's hesitant expression, and felt a little comforted in her heart, at least she married her son a daughter-in-law who was sincere to him.

In this case, mentioning the word "death" is too taboo for Shaohua, what she wants is not Mrs. Yan's temporary, but hopes that she can give up. Even if Jin Zhaocheng's matter is exposed, as long as Mrs. Yan grits her teeth and resolutely refuses to admit it, it will be regarded as an old subordinate who is loyal to avenge the general, in fact, it is not unavoidable. As long as they can put all the words in place before the emperor catches Jin Zhaocheng, with the friendship between Hongyi and Yan Kaizhi, they can't put all of them to death.

"Madam, hurry up and go back and take a look, Master Hou is losing his temper in the house." Chu He received the news from Bi Die and immediately went into the house to report to Shaohua.

"What's going on?" Shaohua's brows furrowed.

"I don't know, I heard that no one is allowed to get close, and Yingjiu and Yingluo are also staying outside." Hatsuho whispered.

This old lady was looking for death in her own house, but her son was losing his temper in another yard, and she almost thought that they were colluding to make things difficult for her. After glancing at Mrs. Yan, Shaohua decided not to tell her about Yan Kaizhi, but just said that the dough was crying and wanted to go back and see. Leave Chu He to stay in Mrs. Yan's courtyard to prevent her from thinking about it for a while, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of the courtyard with Bi Die.
