Chapter 57: Delusional Attempt to Dig the Foot of the Wall
Old Madam Bai was optimistic, seeing that her son's eyes seemed to be glued to Mu Xinping's body, she was even happier, it seemed that she didn't need to do much for herself, Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping could also come to fruition.
Bai Shizu saw that Mu Xinping had avoided it, and he also felt that he was a little abrupt, so he coughed lightly twice before he said, "This is the cousin that my mother mentioned a few days ago, right?" Since you have come to Fuzhong, you can live with peace of mind, and if there is anything missing, your cousin will say, don't see outside! ”
Mu Xinping hurriedly blessed her body shyly, and said, "Cousin is polite, I don't have anything to lack, my aunt has arranged it properly!" ”
Bai Shizu smiled and nodded, feeling more and more that Mu Xinping's posture was moving, there was only one Lu family by his side over the years, and it was inevitable that he would be a little tired of being a man, and when he saw Mu Xinping, a soft and delicate woman, he was naturally moved.
As soon as Mrs. Bai saw Bai Shizu like this, she understood her son's intentions, but now was not the time to bring it up, so she interrupted and said: "Well, grandpa has worked hard when he comes back, go down and rest early, don't be so impulsive in the future, Jin'er is a good boy, you should understand better than me, a grandmother!" ”
"The mother's lesson is that the son is too reckless and makes the mother sad! The mother's punishment is reasonable, as for Xi'er, since she is stunned, let her recuperate in the family temple, when it will be good, when will it be brought back, everything will be decided by the mother! Bai Shizu put on a gesture of filial piety and was obedient.
Old Madam Bai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's good that you can think so, it's not too early, go down and rest!" ”
Bai Shizu reluctantly left, and before leaving, he glanced at Mu Xinping again, thinking in his heart, this is her mother's distant niece, although her family background is not prominent enough, but she is also from a scholarly family, I am afraid that she is unwilling to be a concubine, which is really a pity.
But he didn't expect that the reason why Old Madam Bai brought Mu Xinping here was to make him a side room, so as to divide the favor of the Lu family and facilitate her to regain control of the Ningguo Mansion.
As soon as Bai Shizu left, Old Lady Bai sighed and said, "Hey, my son is a soft-eared man, and he is more and more ignorant of the importance of being instigated by the Lu family!" ”
Mama Sun hurriedly relieved: "Grandpa is also deceived, he is upright and simple by nature, so he will contradict the old lady, don't blame you in your heart!" The slave maid said a word of transgression, the lady is indeed a little ignorant, if the master can have a knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous person around him to remind him more, it would be good! ”
When Bai Mujin heard this, he knew that Grandma Sun had already gotten the meaning of the old lady, and deliberately said this to test her thoughts, so she answered euphemistically: "What Grandma Sun said is very true, so I can also help my mother share some of it!" ”
Old Madam Bai is a shrewd person, after listening to Bai Hibiscus's words, she knew that she had no intention of objecting, she nodded at Bai Hibiscus with satisfaction, and appreciated this granddaughter's knowledge of current affairs even more, if Mu Xinping can be powerful, it is not a good thing for Bai Hibiscus, at least the Lu family can't unscrupulously encourage Bai Shizu to blame her.
The anger caused by Bai Shizu had subsided, and seeing that her plan was going smoothly, she was in a good mood, so she left Bai Hibiscus to eat and had a good conversation.
Because he saw Mu Xinping here with Mrs. Bai that day, Bai Shizu ran more and more diligently to Tangli Garden, in the past, he came to ask for peace but left after a while, but now he has to accompany the old lady to say the last hour, and sometimes he stays directly for dinner, which makes the old lady happy and can't close her mouth.
Although Mrs. Bai also knew in her heart that this son came here for Mu Xinping, she was still happy, after all, since Bai Shizu grew up, the time between the two has become less and less, and it is inevitable that people will be lonely when they are old.
Since that day, the Lu family also realized that the situation was wrong, she asked Bai Shizu to ask the old lady to release Bai Yunxi, but there was no follow-up, and Bai Shizu didn't even see a figure these days, although she was injured and couldn't serve him, but he even came to see her and refused, isn't it strange?
Through inquiry, I learned that Bai Shizu was indeed going to seek justice for her that day, but she was blocked back by Mrs. Bai and Bai Hibiscus in a few words, but instead obeyed Mrs. Bai's wishes, and continued to let Bai Yunxi stay in the family temple, and since then, she has gone to Tangli Garden every day to ask for peace, a state of mother and son's filial piety.
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked Mama Du worriedly: "Mama, did you say that grandpa listened to the old lady's provocation and annoyed me?" ”
"Yes, otherwise, why didn't Grandpa step into Ningxiang Garden in the past half a month?" Mama Du also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and her grandfather would never snub Mrs. so much in the past.
Lu Shi wrung his brows and said: "No, I'm afraid it's more than that, even if he annoys me and doesn't come, he shouldn't run Tang Liyuan so diligently, it's too bad, Mama, that Mu Xinping, it must be so!" ”
Mama Du also suddenly realized and said, "But...... Is Miss Mu really willing to be her grandfather's concubine? ”
"Didn't the old lady take her over because she planned to do so? Otherwise, do you think that the old lady will take care of a relative who can't be beaten for no reason? It's so hateful, I actually took advantage of my injuries to recuperate and wanted to secretly Chen Cang! Lu said with an indignant face.
Mama Du held down Lu's excited body and said, "Why should Madam be nervous, even if she enters the door, she is just a concubine, and she is not at your disposal, can she still pass you?" ”
The Lu family felt faintly uneasy, she didn't say that she knew all about the old lady's temperament, but she also knew about it, how could she simply stuff a concubine to Bai Shizu, she must have a plan.
"No, I must stop my grandfather from accepting that woman, that Mu Xinping has an old lady as a backer, I'm afraid it's not so easy to handle, I can't allow someone to threaten everything I have earned so hard!" Lu Shi got up all of a sudden, the injuries on her body were almost healed, and the reason why she kept it was just to protest against the old lady and deliberately not give her a farewell.
Mama Du also felt that there was some reason, but she still said worriedly: "How do you stop it, if the grandfather falls in love with Miss Mu by himself, you can't stop it!" ”
The Lu family secretly hated, thinking that he had finally sent away Bai Shizu's concubines back then, and now there was another person to share the favor with her, he felt as uncomfortable as smearing salt in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, I don't allow anyone to rob me of my grandfather, never allow!" ”
Seeing her like this, Mama Du knew that persuasion was useless, she knew Lu's temperament best, once she decided something, she couldn't allow others to intervene, otherwise she would only hate you for being troublesome. Mama Du is a smart person, so many times she just does what she should do and does not easily disobey the Lu family, which has won her trust for so many years.
"If Madam really doesn't want her grandfather to accept her, hurry up and find a way to stop it, I'm afraid it's too late!" Mama Du said, and she was also planning in her heart, how to help the Lu clan get rid of this threat.
Lu nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I don't believe it, my grandfather and I have been married for ten years, and we will lose to a fledgling little slut, and it is not so easy to separate the affection between me and my grandfather!" ”
Lu sat up, went to the dresser, and asked Mama Du to help her dress up, because of the cultivation in the past few days, although her face was still a little pale, but with rouge and blush, she was still charming and moving.
I have to say that even though Lu is nearly thirty years old, he is still moving, his skin is as white as snow, his eyes are affectionate, and he has the graceful beauty of a Jiangnan woman, that is because her biological mother is a Jiangnan girl.
"Mama, go and invite your grandfather to come, just say that I have something to discuss with him!" The Lu family smiled lightly and said, Bai Shizu must be allowed to come to Ning Xiangyuan today, only by regaining his heart can he stop him from approaching other women.
Mama Du took the order and left, preparing to go straight to Bai Shizu's study to invite someone, if it was late, I was afraid that he would go to Tangli Garden again, so there would be no chance.
Every afternoon, Bai Shizu will definitely deal with some official business in the study, or read books, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to disturb, so when Mama Du came, the housekeeper Luo who was guarding the door stopped her, and smiled and refused Mama Du's idea of disturbing Bai Shizu.
Mama Du frowned, put on an unhappy expression and said, "Steward Luo, Madam has something important to see Grandpa, don't delay me!" ”
"Mama, grandpa has explained, there is something important to deal with today, no one is allowed to disturb you, you better wait and talk about it first!" Steward Luo has always been a trusted person by Bai Shizu, so he doesn't eat the Lu family's set, he is only loyal to Bai Shizu.
Although Mama Du was angry, she didn't dare to really disobey Bai Shizu's intentions, otherwise she would anger him, and she was afraid that she would ruin the Lu family's plan, so she endured it and said, "Trouble Steward Luo to go in and spread the word to see if it is convenient for Grandpa to go to Ning Xiangyuan!" ”
Seeing that her attitude was a little better, Steward Luo nodded and said, "Then you wait here, I'll ask my grandfather!" ”
Mama Du naturally didn't dare to trespass, so she could only guard outside, and after a while, she didn't wait for Steward Luo, but saw Mu Xinping coming over with the maid tourmaline beside the old lady carrying a food box.
When Mu Xinping saw Mama Du, she nodded, and greeted her with a smile: "I didn't expect Mama Du to be there, my aunt made some snacks, and I came to give them to my grandfather to taste!" ”
Mama Du never expected Mu Xinping to come to the study, and looking at her appearance, it seems that it is not the first time she has come, and she is familiar with it, as if she is already a woman of Bai Shizu.
Mama Du didn't show up in the interview, but she was already unhappy in her heart, but she didn't expect that this Miss Cousin, who seemed to be knowledgeable, was not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she smiled and stabbed: "It's really annoying girl, after all, these are things that people should do, how can the old lady let Miss Cousin do such a thing?" Why don't you just hand it over to the slave and let the slave and maid send it in? ”
Mu Xinping listened to her meaning, and secretly mocked herself as a slave who served people, and her heart suddenly became uncomfortable, biting her lower lip, and said aggrievedly: "I am just an orphan girl who came to Ningguo Mansion to defect, although my aunt feels sorry for me, but I can't just be too proud of myself, it is my blessing to be able to do something for my aunt, grandma said such things, doesn't it make me feel ashamed?" ”
