Biliu stood on Mrs. Shen's side, waiting for Mrs. Shen's orders.

Mrs. Shen frowned, glanced at Li Xin, saw that she lowered her face and couldn't see her expression clearly, thought about it and said to Bi Liu: "Tell the fourth wife, I have a guest here, so there is no need to ask for peace." ”

"Yes."

Biliu answered and went out to pass the word, Mrs. Shen didn't mention the matter of the fourth wife, but talked to Li Xin about the Shen family's workshop again.

Li Xin had already planned an excuse to come to Mrs. Shen today before she came, and the piece of paper she gave to Mrs. Shen was also prepared by her, otherwise it was indeed as Mrs. Shen said, she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and the purpose of her coming here would be a little intriguing.

As Mrs. Shen was talking, Biliu opened the curtain again and came in, with a little puzzled on her face, and whispered to Mrs. Shen: "The fourth lady insists on coming in to greet Mrs. Shen." ”

Mrs. Shen's face suddenly looked ugly.

The first time Biliu came to ask for peace from the fourth wife, Mrs. Shen felt that she had some face. Li Xin is an outsider after all, and her daughter-in-law came to greet her, which naturally coaxed her status, and she was happy to see it. But since she has already pushed it, the fourth wife still insists on coming, this is to save her face - she clearly said that there are guests here, and she still wants to come to ask for peace, does she want to leave the guests with the image of a wicked mother-in-law who "the Shen family's housewife has big rules and insists that her daughter-in-law serve in front of her"?

It's no wonder that Mrs. Shen is not annoyed.

"Let her go back, she is still restless when she is pregnant with a child, who is it if she stumbles?" Mrs. Shen's words were cold: "Let the maids and mothers around her be well served, and they won't have to say hello in the future!" ”

Biliu was startled, she had been serving by Mrs. Shen's side for a while, and she naturally knew that Mrs. Shen was angry.

Hurriedly answered. There is no need for her to pass it on, presumably the fourth lady outside can vaguely hear what Madame said.

Li Xin took a sip of tea, and wisely did not make a sound.

There was a bit of commotion outside, but after a while it calmed down. Mrs. Shen reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips and smiled. Say, "I'm going to make you see the joke......"

"No, no, no......"

Li Xin hurriedly said: "Madame is sympathetic to her daughter-in-law. Excuse your daughter-in-law's greetings, this is the mercy of the lady. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "You still sound comfortable when you speak." ”

Li Xin smiled and stroked her stomach with her hand.

Mrs. Shen then moved her eyes to Li Xin's belly, noticed that her belly was bulging a little, and was surprised, and then smiled: "What are you...... Pregnant? ”

Li Xin nodded, a little shy: "Yes, it's been a few months." ”

"Good. Good! Mrs. Shen was very happy for Li Xin, said hello twice but frowned, and scolded: "If you are pregnant with a child, stay at home." How did you get to town on a bumpy road? Just send me this list, find someone to hand it to me or find someone to say, I will send someone to get it. You kid......"

Mrs. Shen glared at Li Xin with disapproval, but Li Xin was really moved in her heart.

Maybe Mrs. Shen didn't have those wary thoughts about her from the beginning, right? Mrs. Shen has always been good friends with her, perhaps because Mrs. Shen is grateful to her for saving his grandson, and later because she has had more contacts and likes her in her heart......

Mrs. Shen patted Li Xin's hand and carefully instructed her what to pay attention to when she was pregnant, and talked in detail about everything, talking about the excitement. also raised his voice and called Biliu and the others to come in, and asked Li Xin to prepare a gift for the little doll.

Li Xin hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Madam, I haven't even blown up my stomach." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "So you have to prepare early, this day will pass very quickly, and it won't be long." You're going to be a mother. How can I prepare in time? ”

Mrs. Shen ignored Li Xin's resignation and asked Biliu to make a list carefully. Then call a few maids and daughters-in-law to prepare.

Li Xin watched Mrs. Shen busy helplessly, and wanted to interject but was stopped by Mrs. Shen. When Mrs. Shen finally walked back, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Madame is like this...... It looks like I'm coming to the door to ask for a reward......"

Mrs. Shen suddenly laughed: "Reward, must be rewarded, how much benefit you have brought to our family, these are nothing compared to this." ”

Li Xin smiled bitterly, and only felt panic in his heart.

Mrs. Shen was so good to her, and Mrs. Shen was ...... An Xuan's matter, Mrs. Shen is probably still in the dark.

Mrs. Shen left Li Xin for lunch, and the morning and noon passed like this. Mrs. Shen wanted to take a nap in the next morning, and asked Bi Tao to go down and ask someone to prepare a room for Li Xin, Li Xin agreed to come down, and when Mrs. Shen fell asleep, she looked for Bi Liu, saying that she couldn't sleep and wanted to go out for a walk.

"It just so happens that there is a plum garden in the house, Mrs. Guan is going to enjoy the plum blossoms, right?" Biliu smiled: "It's not far from here, and the scenery is pretty good." ”

Bi Tao also laughed: "Yes, there is no snow this year, but the scenery is not inferior to the scenery of plums in the snow, red and white plums, very pleasing." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Then thank you to the two girls for leading the way." ”

Bi Tao stayed to guard Mrs. Shen, and Bi Liu called another little maid to take Li Xin to the plum garden with her to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Li Xin was thinking about how to get rid of Biliu and go to see Mrs. Shen Si, after all, this was said, and he was in a trance along the way.

"Here we are." Biliu smiled and said, "Mrs. Guan, this plum garden is good." ”

The Qiong branch is crystal clear, and the white and red plums are stained with a little frost, which looks really a bit of a backbone. A faint fragrance of plum wafted in, Rao is Li Xin had something in his heart, but he was also very immersed in such a faint fragrance. There are not many plum trees in the plum garden, but as Bi Tao said, white and red, very pleasing, people feel relaxed and happy when they see it.

Biliu broke a plum branch and handed it to Li Xin, blinked and smiled: "Madame fold a branch and go back, let Sister Bitao insert it in the white jade bottle, it must look good." ”

Li Xin smiled and nodded.

Biliu was about to say something, but his expression paused, and then he hurriedly walked around Li Xin and stepped forward, squatting down to give a blessing: "Fourth wife." ”

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, turned around with the plum branch, and the person in front of him was none other than Mrs. Shen Si, An Xuan.

Today, she wore a pale yellow lily placket, a pleated skirt of the same color underneath, and a large cloak lined with rabbit fur. Holding a hand-warming soup woman, the fur embroidery covered by the soup woman is exquisite, as if embroidered with the pattern of "happy plum blossoms".

Compared to the last time I saw it in the Yuanguang Temple, such Mrs. Shen Si was radiant. Extravagant.

Really...... Three days of Shibetsu. Be impressed.

Mrs. Shen Si smiled faintly, and only after Biliu gave her a blessing did she say softly: "Miss Biliu, why should you be polite, you are the eldest girl next to Madame, sometimes you can talk better than me, don't bother me." ”

The voice is very soft, but it is not like a spring breeze to listen to human ears, but a little harsh.

Bi Liu's face didn't change for a moment, and she only whispered yes. Then he retreated to Li Xin's side and said, "Fourth wife, this is Mrs. Guan who came to the house as a guest today." Mrs. Guanda. This is the fourth wife in our house. ”

Li Xin bowed lightly.

Mrs. Shen also nodded meaningfully and said, "Mrs. Guan...... I've heard of it, isn't the women's incense workshop in our family an opportunity brought by Mrs. Guan? ”

Biliu said in a low voice: "Yes, Madame often says that Madame Guan is Madame's lucky star." ”

After a pause, Biliu said: "Don't disturb the fourth lady to enjoy the plum, Mrs. Guan has also been here for a while, and the slave will ask Mrs. Guan to go back." ”

"Don't worry." Mrs. Shen Si smiled: "It's rare for Mrs. Guan to come back and talk to me for a while?" There is no concubine in this house. No one talks on weekdays. ”

Mrs. Shen Si didn't recognize her life at all, and as she spoke, she stepped forward and gently grabbed Li Xin's arm, looking familiar.

Rao is Biliu has always been calm, and he couldn't help but be surprised, and his eyes widened slightly. After a while, he still said, "Fourth wife." Madame's nap is going to ......"

The implication was that she and Mrs. Guan had to leave.

Mrs. Shen Si seemed to be fine. He said, "Oh, in that case, you should hurry back and serve." With me here, Mrs. Guan will not be ungreeted. Go ahead. ”

Biliu paused, and was about to say something, but Mrs. Shen Si exclaimed: "Oh, Mrs. Guan, it's not very appropriate to look at Mei Jing from here, let's go and see inside." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Li Xin inside. Xiaobi was startled, and hurriedly followed, protecting Li Xin on the other side, for fear that Li Xin would accidentally trip and fall.

Li Xin was very annoyed, but in front of Biliu and so many people in the Shen Mansion, she didn't have any disputes with Mrs. Shen Si, so she could only be dragged by her, subconsciously bent her knees, and shifted her center of gravity downward.

Biliu exclaimed, "Fourth wife, slow down! You and Mrs. Guan are both pregnant......"

This sentence succeeded in making Mrs. Shen Si stop.

"Biliu, why don't you go back?" Mrs. Shen Si turned around and said, "Hurry up and go back and wait for Mrs. to get up and freshen up, I will take care of you here." ”

Biliu had no choice but to bow and hurriedly go back to the main courtyard, wanting to find Mrs. Shen to get an idea.

As soon as Biliu led the people away, Mrs. Shen Si's face turned cold, and she said coldly: "Go outside and guard, I'll talk to Mrs. Guan in a whisper." ”

The maid beside Mrs. Shen quickly retreated, but Xiaobi stood straight behind Li Xin, not planning to go out.

Mrs. Shen Si said with a smile: "Where did Mrs. Guan buy the maid, so there are no rules?" ”

Li Xin was no longer polite to her, and responded with a smile: "I think my maid is very disciplined, the master didn't speak, she stood still, isn't this a normal thing?" ”

Mrs. Shen Si laughed, put her hand on her stomach, and said in a low voice to Li Xin: "Mrs. Guan is sure...... Do you want to catch up with me in the presence of you, the maid? ”

Li Xin also laughed, and also whispered back to her: "It's not me who should be worried." ”

If you want to reminisce about the past, the person you really want to be afraid of is probably you An Xuan.

Mrs. Shen's face changed, but she smiled again, looked at Li Xin with a very mysterious smile, and whispered: "Isn't Mrs. Guan afraid that some things will attract the Guan family...... Killed? ”

The words were ambiguous, but the chill in them gave Li Xin goosebumps.

She stared at An Xuan for a moment before she said in a deep voice, "Xiaobi, step aside." ”
