Zhou Youxiang rarely had such a big fire, even if Chen was the eldest daughter of Wen Yuanhou, he was so frightened that he lost his grace at this time.

What happened to the old lady being grounded in Fu'an Hall for the past few months? Could it be that the old lady was unwilling to come out all the time? But the eldest and second masters were also unwilling to go to Fu'an Hall to ask for peace. That's why she speculated that the old immortal really did something to subvert the Zhou family. Who knows that the old man is now saying that he used to be just drunk! So how will she deal with the old witch if she is disrespectful to her today?

Chen pounced and knelt in front of Zhou Youxiang: "Master, the concubine is really for the good of the Zhou family." The old lady let the Jiang family finally find the person they had been looking for. On that day, you rushed to Huangjue Temple, although you persuaded the old lady to return and prevented them from meeting. But the concubine was afraid that the old lady would be unwilling, so she stared at the Jiang family's daughter. The concubine is also preventing the old lady from asking the girl to find that person again!"

Zhou Youxiang looked at Chen's well-maintained face and couldn't help but think of his deceased wife. Although she is not as beautiful as Chen. But it is also a blue heart. Assisted him all the way to gain a firm foothold in the court. Now that she is gone, even though she has become the prime minister, she is a little powerless to deal with the affairs of the court. It's okay that Chen doesn't know how to be a virtuous helper, but he can't even honor his mother

Zhou Youxiang suddenly didn't want to be angry, he rubbed his temples and said slowly: "When Baozhu's mother went, I didn't want to continue the strings. It was also my father's hard work that made me marry you. Although it is not my wish to marry you, I have also treated you well all these years. I have no concubines above and no room below. You, the prime minister's wife, are also doing a beautiful job. But you have been sad to see your mother recently, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to serve by your side. Instead, he gave her no face in public. connived at my brother and daughter-in-law to make the house restless"

Chen listened to Zhou Youxiang say this, and he understood what kind of person Zhou Youxiang was. He saw through these tricks at a glance. She pleaded: "Master, the concubine is against her mother today. It's purely a matter of urgency. If my mother told that girl that she had tried to commit suicide in vain, wouldn't that be a shame for our prime minister's mansion? As for the turmoil in the house, it was all the younger siblings and Sister Yan who were arrogant when they were about to enter the palace. deliberately wants to frame the girl of the Nie family, but the concubine really doesn't know about it?"

Zhou You was only disappointed with Chen: "You don't know, mother wants to see the girl of the Nie family today, only you know." If you hadn't deliberately spread the news, how would they have known? If you hadn't secretly instigated and supported her, how could they dare to be so bold, and how could they invite a dozen little ladies in such a short period of time? And all of them have valuable status? Easily deduct the Nie family girl from the charge of going out for fun during the filial piety period, if Baozhu hadn't personally sent that girl out today, wouldn't you have forced her to death?"

He asked a few times a year, and Chen still had to argue, and Zhou Youxiang said: "Over the years, I have only been a duty to you." But I didn't expect that after my mother was sick for so many months, you would be exposed. You've really disappointed me! From this day on, you won't be a housekeeper anymore!"

Suddenly, Chen's body went limp, and he couldn't support it, so he had to hold the ground with his hands. As a stepfamily, she was inferior. This old witch hasn't given her a good face for so many years, and now it's easy to see that she is sick and crooked, and she is not as domineering as before. What's wrong with her casually fighting back and showing her evil anger for more than ten years? The old man was disappointed in her and wanted to take away her stewardship? Chen was still unwilling: "Master, if Jiulang marries the daughter of a subordinate and enters the mansion, how can the other sons of the Zhou family who are not married be good? The concubine has been in the Zhou family for so many years, and she has been conscientious and takes care of the treasure girl, and there is no merit."

"Do you still dare to mention the treasure beads? If you didn't have your secret guidance, how could Sister Yan invite the county lord of Pingyang to enter the mansion. Without your approval, how would the lord of Pingyang enter the mansion, how would he find the jewel and make a big fuss? I never expected you to treat the jewel as your own. But Baozhu is my only daughter, and you want to discredit her? And the third brother has a letter, and there is no objection to his mother's arrangement, when will it be your turn to have an opinion on this marriage?"

When it comes to his daughter, Zhou Youxiang is even more disgusted with Chen: "Do you think that if you instigate your younger siblings and Sister Yan to do the whole thing, you can stay out of the matter? Chen, your stupidity does not lie in being smart." It's that you think everyone else is stupid!"

One by one, Chen did not dare to deny it, nor did he dare to admit it. She just couldn't get used to seeing what's wrong with that sick man? If she entered the mansion, how could her only son say that she was married? Who would be the daughter of a good family who would want to be a concubine with her? As for Baozhu, if she hadn't been too ostentatious in her usual behavior, how could someone jump out and bite her whenever she had the chance? Seeing that Zhou Shaoyang had completely ignored the relationship between husband and wife for more than ten years, the Chen family no longer pleaded for mercy. At this time, I just secretly hated myself for not being careful enough.

If an ordinary wife is blamed by the husband, she must beg the husband for forgiveness with tears in her eyes. And Chen can't, she knows very well that Zhou Shaoyang has never hated her daughter's crying and crying the most. And she hasn't reached the point of crying and begging for pity. She didn't lose! That old witch didn't live long, she was still young, and she had a son!

Thinking of her son, Chen's waist straightened a little, and she took out the demeanor of the concubine of the Hou Mansion: "There is no old lady in charge these months, and the house is indeed a mess." This is all the result of poor management of the concubine's body. The lord was determined that the concubine was at fault, and the concubine did not dare to defend again. The lord can punish the concubine as much as he wants, but this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I, the Prime Minister's wife, don't care about the family, who else can take on this heavy responsibility?"

If you don't let me take care of the house, who else can you find to manage this prime minister's mansion in the right name? I don't believe you don't want to be famous!

Zhou Youxiang sneered, looking at Chen's face as if looking at a clown: "Chen, are you my mother dead?"

Chen Shi was almost unstable, and she looked at Zhou Youxiang in disbelief: "How is it possible?

Hasn't that old witch always been like this? Knowing that she doesn't care about anything, in fact, whenever something doesn't go her way, she immediately asks someone to do what she wants. You don't have to do anything yourself, you just need to tell others. Why is she now dissatisfied with giving orders behind her back?

Zhou Youxiang got up, left Chen with a stunned face, and walked out of the room. At the same time, Chen heard the voice that decided her fate: "Our Zhou family is the most unfortunate in the back house. Reflect on yourself in your room!"

Chen finally sat down on the ground, and two lines of tears fell from a Dan face (1). She was really unwilling, and she endured it for more than ten years. Finally, the old witch lost her position by herself. Now it's really her who gets the retribution! She's just willful this time!

Since Jiang's death, Zhou Youxiang came to Fu'an Hall for the first time. At this time, Mrs. Zhou was eating. A large round table with dozens of delicate dishes. But only Mrs. Zhou sat alone. There are only two steady girls on the side waiting for her to eat. It looks a little deserted.

"Mother. Zhou You knelt down to the old lady and bowed, and kowtowed to the end.

As if they didn't feel someone, the two maids just lowered their heads to cloth vegetables. Old Madam Zhou glanced at him, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. The golden dish and jade chopstick in front of her was as cold as her heart. She bowed her head again to eat. It was as if there had never been such a person in the hall.

The hall was very quiet, and the sound of Mrs. Zhou's chewing and swallowing could be heard quietly. Zhou Youxiang said heavily: "Mother, the Zhou family is in danger!"

Old Madam Zhou ate by herself, and didn't look at him: "What's the matter with me? Isn't your lady very powerful?"

Zhou Youxiang straightened up, and Yang said: "It is not virtuous for a son to marry a wife." You can't support your mother, and you can't teach your children and nephews. The son had grounded her, but begged his mother to discourage.

Now the Zhou family has no successor in the court, so they have to send people to the palace, so that the Zhou family can still be rich and prosperous for a long time. It's just that Sister Yan has a dull temperament, and she is afraid that after she enters the palace, she will not only fail to protect herself, but also bring disaster to the Zhou family. The son kneels down and asks his mother, takes on the responsibility of the Zhou family's wife, and teaches his children and grandchildren!"

With a "bang", Mrs. Zhou had already thrown down the silver spoon containing the soup. "Don't eat it, your Zhou family's dishes are said to be full of color, flavor and flavor. In fact, I only taste bitter!"

Mrs. Zhou was about to get up as she spoke, and the maid next to her immediately came to help her. She said slowly: "Today, the girl of the second family misbehaved, and I have rewarded the second daughter-in-law with a ring ruler. As for teaching. I am a woman of bad character, and I am not worthy to teach your children and grandchildren of the Zhou family! Don't come again if you have nothing to do. ”

Zhou Youxiang looked at the back of his mother who turned around, and suddenly said: "Mother, Sister Bao has told me that she has let go!"

Old Madam Zhou's body stagnated.
