The maid Dongmei entered the room in a panic with the nurse, and saw that the third young master was hugging the third young grandmother Wang Bilian tightly, and for a while, everyone felt extremely embarrassed.

The third young master Zhang Sizong let go of the third young grandmother Wang Bilian in his arms, and then several people walked towards the front hall together. The maid Dongmei left the kitchen before leaving the residence, and ordered the food to be served.

At this time, Master Zhang went to the residence of the third lady Ye Lingxi, and at this moment, the third lady Ye Lingxi was accompanying the master to eat dinner at the residence, and both of them were full of smiles on their faces.

The third lady Ye Lingxi went to see the fourth lady Xiao Lian with the second lady Yao Shuyun in the afternoon, and she has been depressed since she came back, and now she feels unappetizing when she eats the food in front of her, but when she thinks that the old man can come to accompany her, she has to force a smile.

While eating the meal, the old man was thinking about which room to go to tonight, but when he looked at the third lady Ye Lingxi in front of him, he instantly felt that he had lost his appetite.

The third lady Ye Lingxi's eyes looked indescribably complaining, and she lost her enthusiasm and charm on weekdays, and the whole person looked dejected, like a frosted eggplant.

"Lingxi, you eat slowly, I'll eat well." After the old man finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave, seeing the old man like this, the third lady Ye Lingxi hurriedly got up.

"Master, you just ate a few bites, why don't you eat it, is it that the food Cui'er took in the kitchen today is not to your liking, or I will go to the small kitchen to cook something you like to eat." The third lady Ye Ling said flatteringly.

"It's not too early, you don't have to bother, I haven't been to see Shu Yun recently, I don't know how she's doing? I'm going to see her. The old man said helplessly to the third lady Ye Lingxi.

In fact, the old man knows very well in his heart that according to the temperament of the third lady Ye Lingxi, if he doesn't make it clear, he will be very troublesome in the future, anyway, she and the second lady Yao Shuyun are sisters on weekdays, and she will not be angry if she goes to see the second lady.

"Okay, is the master coming back tonight?" The third lady Ye Lingxi said to the old man pitifully, and for a while the old man felt unspeakable pity, and suddenly felt that the third lady Ye Lingxi looked like the fourth lady Xiao Pian at this time.

Seeing the third lady Ye Lingxi like this, the old man hugged her, comforted her and said: "Lingxi, don't worry, I will come to accompany you when I go to see the second lady, I see that you have been a lot haggard recently, you can go to bed early after eating." ”

Hearing the old man say this, the third lady Ye Lingxi didn't want to say anything more, she said softly: "Then master, you must come back after reading the second lady, no matter how late Lingxi is, she will wait for you." ”

After the old man left, the third lady Ye Lingxi lost her appetite even more, and instructed the maid Cui'er in the room to take away all the food in the front hall, and asked Cui'er to prepare bath water for her, ready to take a hot bath to relieve her tired body and mind.

"Third lady, your bath water is ready for you, you can go in and soak in it." Cui'er, the maid in the third lady's room, whispered to the third lady Ye Lingxi.

Entering the room, looking at the hot creeping water, the third lady Ye Lingxi gently took off her clothes and soaked herself in the comfortable hot water.

The second lady Yao Shuyun had dinner early, and she would play Go in the front hall by herself, and the maid Ping'er next to her watched the second lady play chess with herself, and she felt indescribably sad.

"Second Madam, it would be nice if the master was here now, he could still accompany the second lady to play chess, and the master would often accompany you to play chess in the past. But Ping'er won't, if Ping'er will, she will accompany you. The maid Ping'er said distressedly.

"Go and close the courtyard door, no one will come at such a late hour." The second lady Yao Shuyun said to the maid Ping'er, with indescribable loneliness and loss in her words.

"Yes, Second Madame." After the maid Ping'er finished speaking, she went out. In the door, she happened to meet the old man who was about to enter the door, and Ping'er was just about to shout loudly to the second lady in the room, Yao Shuyun. The lord stopped her.

"Don't say it, close the door first, I want to see what you second lady is usually doing? Let's go, you lead the way. The old man said to the maid Ping'er.

"Second lady, the master is here." As soon as she returned to the room, Ping'er said to the second lady Yao Shuyun, who was playing Go alone, but the second lady was still staring at Go without raising her head.

After a long time, the second lady Yao Shuyun said faintly: "The last time I was exempted from the punishment that I thought about behind closed doors, the third lady Ye Ling begged him to come. The lord hasn't been to my house for a long time, and I'm afraid he has long forgotten that he once had a second wife. ”

"Second lady, the master is really here." The maid Ping'er spoke again. But the second lady still thinks that the maid Ping'er in her room deliberately teases herself in order to make herself happy.

"Ping'er, don't make trouble, it's not early, help me go back to my room to rest." The second lady Yao Shuyun said with a look of loss, she waited for a long time, I am afraid that the heart has already died.

The old man standing behind Ping'er stepped forward slowly, and then helped the second lady Yao Shuyun, and then said, "Shuyun, I'm here, I'll help you back to your room to rest." ”

"Master, it's really you, you're here." The second lady Yao Shuyun excitedly took the master's hand, and the two of them walked towards the bedroom like this.

Seeing the second lady Yao Shuyun like this, the old man really couldn't bear to tell the second lady Yao Shuyun what he had already thought about in his heart, but he also decided on this matter after careful consideration.

"Shu Yun, I want our son Yu to go with the army, now the country is in trouble, and it is the responsibility of being a husband." After Master Zhang finished speaking to the second lady Yao Shuyun, he stared at her for a long time.

On weekdays, the old man doesn't come, but now that he comes, he actually told her such news. The second lady, Yao Shuyun, thought that the master actually let his only son go to the army, and her heart instantly felt so cold.

Seeing that the second lady Yao Shuyun didn't say a word, just was silent, the old man said: "I have already decided on this matter, I just came to tell you." In the future, I will ask you to comfort me more. ”

Hearing the lord say this, the second lady Yao Shuyun's heart was unspeakably sad, but now that the lord has made such a decision, it seems that it cannot be changed. She can only accept her fate.

"Then when does our son Yu say he will leave?" The second lady, Yao Shuyun, asked with blurred tears in her eyes. It seems that now his son can only ask for more blessings.

"The day after tomorrow, everything will be arranged for him by the husband, don't worry, tomorrow our family will have a meal together, just for the eldest young master." The old man hugged the second lady Yao Shuyun, and he was unspeakably sad in his heart.

Now that the national crisis is at hand, he has three sons, and he should contribute to the emperor in a reasonable way, no matter what, this is also a good opportunity for the eldest young master to exercise. The old man comforted himself as he thought.

"Master, Shu Yun and you gave birth to such a son, anyway, the eldest young master is also your eldest son, although this is a good opportunity to make a contribution, but the sword is ruthless on the battlefield." The second lady, Yao Shuyun, leaned on the old man's shoulder and cried bitterly.

"Don't worry, Shu Yun, our son will return safely." The old man hugged the second lady Yao Shuyun while loosening her clothes, and after a long time, the second lady Yao Shuyun and the old man fell asleep.

The third lady, Ye Lingxi, had been waiting for the master in the bedroom, but her heart was also waiting bit by bit, and she slowly became lost, and she couldn't even believe that the master would lie to her.

Although she and the second lady Yao Shuyun are like sisters on weekdays, the old man has not come back at this time, and it seems that he must have rested at the residence of the second lady Yao Shuyun.

"Cui'er, light all the lights in the room for me, I don't like this kind of darkness." The third lady, Ye Lingxi, said loudly to the maid Cui'er in her room.

"Third lady, just listen to Cui'er, now it's the third watch, third lady, you better hurry up and rest, if the master knows that you torture yourself like this, he will definitely feel distressed." The maid Cui'er said sadly.

"The master went to Sister Shuyun, but do you know Cui'er? My heart really hurts. It's like the night when the old man accepted the fourth lady. The third lady, Ye Ling, said in despair.

"Third lady, think about it carefully, the lord came back today so seriously, he must have something to do in the court, and the lord must have something to find him when he was looking for the second lady." The maid Cui'er helped the third lady Ye Lingxi analyze.

The third lady Ye Lingxi thought carefully that the lord seemed to have a serious face when he came to her residence at night, but even if there was something in the court, couldn't he tell her, did he have to tell the second lady?

Could it be that in the master's heart, there is really no place for her Ye Lingxi now? If there is really any big matter, the master can go and discuss it with his wife. The third lady, Ye Lingxi, was also unspeakably puzzled for a while.

"Third lady, hurry up and go to sleep, if you feel lonely and scared, then Cui'er will accompany you in this room, can you watch you sleep?" The maid Cui'er said obediently to the third lady Ye Lingxi.

Hearing that Cui'er, who had always been not good at words in her room, had said so many things tonight, and she was so moved, the third lady Ye Lingxi stepped forward and hugged the maid Cui'er tightly.

"My good Cui'er, thank you, I hope the master can tell me something tomorrow." The third lady Ye Lingxi lay on the bed after speaking, and tossed until the middle of the night, it was indeed time to sleep.

Even if he doesn't sleep, the maid Cui'er who serves in his room also has to sleep, even if the lord will pamper himself more on weekdays, but after all, he often accompanies himself, shush the cold and ask for warmth, and it is the maid Cui'er who has been with him who has been accompanying him to serve tea and food.

"Cui'er, don't guard me, you can go back to your room early to rest, and sleep a little more tomorrow." The third lady, Ye Lingxi, said thoughtfully to the maid Cui'er in her room.

"Yes, Third Madam, that Cui'er has gone down, what do you call me?" After the maid Cui'er left, the third lady Ye Lingxi got up and extinguished the candle in the room, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep quietly.

Since the second lady Yao Shuyun heard the news that the eldest young master was going to join the army, she couldn't sleep well all night, and when she woke up in the middle of the night and heard the snoring of the old man next to her, the second lady Yao Shuyun was at a loss for a while.

If it was before, I would have thought it was nothing if I heard it often, but the master hadn't stayed in her room for a long time, and I was really not used to hearing the lord's snoring.

When she opened her eyes and thought that her son was going to leave the day after tomorrow and would live in the barracks in the future, the second lady Yao Shuyun's heart was full of reluctance.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, tears slowly slid down her cheeks, before hearing such news, the eldest young master could often be seen in this mansion after all, even if he couldn't see him occasionally, he knew that he was safe.

But now if you really follow the army, I am afraid it will be difficult to see each other in the future, the eldest young master goes to join the army, the eldest young grandmother Luo Xinrou will be alone, since she lost Heng'er, the relationship with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is no longer what it used to be.

Thinking of this, the second lady Yao Shuyun's heart hurt terribly. But after marrying her husband, she is now only the second aunt of the lord in this house, and she has no place in the lord's heart, so she can only let the lord arrange this.

In this way, the second lady Yao Shuyun didn't sleep all night, even if she fell asleep in the middle, she was in a trance. She woke up early in the morning, and even she felt listless.

"Second lady, are you crying? What happened? Ping'er, the maid in the second lady's room in the front hall, asked with concern when she saw the red and swollen eyes of the second lady.

"It's okay, you go and prepare a hot handkerchief with me, it's okay, try to be as fast as possible, and don't let the master see me like this." The second lady, Yao Shuyun, whispered to the maid Ping'er.

After applying a hot cloth for a while, and applying some rouge gouache, the second lady Yao Shuyun was satisfied with herself in the mirror, but when she thought that she would never see her son again after tomorrow, she was indescribably anxious.

"Ping'er, you wait here, if the old man wakes up in a while, you will serve the old man to dress and have breakfast, and I will go to the eldest young master's residence." After the second lady Yao Shuyun finished speaking to the maid Ping'er, she hurriedly walked out of the room.

At this time, the eldest young master Zhang Yu said that he and the eldest young grandmother Luo Xinrou hadn't gotten up yet, but the second lady Yao Shuyun couldn't wait.

Knocking on the door, Luo Xinrou, the young grandmother, saw that it was her mother-in-law Yao Shuyun, and her face immediately became gloomy. Thinking of Heng'er's death, the eldest young grandmother Luo Xinrou had no way to forgive the second lady Yao Shuyun in front of her.
