Chapter 160: Mother and Son
The eldest son of the Pan family was shocked yesterday and made a fool of himself, and it also spread to Zhao Shangshu's backyard early in the morning.
Mrs. Zhao had a dark purple forehead on her head, her hair was loose, her eye sockets were sunken, and she was lying on the Arhat bed carved with flowers and birds, looking at the top of the shark yarn tent in a daze.
The maid magpie opened the curtain and came in, leaned into the bedroom, and made eye contact with the cuckoo who was guarding Mrs. Zhao's side.
The cuckoo understood, quietly turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhao, and nodded invisibly with the magpie.
This means that the lady is in a good mood today, and the magpie has a bottom in his heart, and he enters the inner room with a smile on his face.
Mrs. Zhao has been seriously ill since she fell off the carriage last time, not to mention that she has not shown a smile for more than half a month, even if she walks a little heavier, she will be reprimanded.
Madame's temperament suddenly changed a lot, and even Zhao Shangshu couldn't stand Madame's cold eyes, and some days in the future, Madame's room was visited.
"Madame,"
The magpie walked to Zhao's couch with a smile in his eyebrows and smiled softly:
"Madame is overjoyed!"
Zhao frowned when he heard this, turned his head to look at the magpie, and said with a cold face:
"I can't get out of bed for more than half a month, what else can I do?"
The magpie hurriedly said:
"Madame! The slave maid just went to Baili Zhai to buy rice paper for the three girls, but it was a great joy to hear! ”
"I heard that when the eldest prince of the Pan family was riding a horse yesterday, for some reason the horse suddenly startled, and he ran from Taibai Building to Chong'anmen before he was stopped!"
"That Pan eldest prince usually loves to dance and write, but he is not good at riding and is as timid as a mouse! There was more than one howling along the way, and how many merchants were shocked...... When he heard that he was pressed by the guards of Chong'anmen, the eldest prince of Pan shouted hoarsely, and his face was mixed with tears and snot......"
"It's all over the streets today! I heard that Mrs. Pan knew about this and couldn't cover it, so she fainted in the morning...... Madame, listen! Isn't that a great joy! ”
Zhao's face really loosened a little after hearing this, and after a little thought, he hurriedly stood up, and Yu Magpie commanded:
"You just go and ask someone to spread the word secretly, just say that our sister Xian'er didn't look at the big prince Pan that day, so let someone make an article with the eight characters of the birthday......"
"This matter must be fast, while the Pan family is in a deep quagmire, step on me two more feet, I will definitely let that old woman taste the taste of heartbreaking!"
"Go! If you do this well, I will be rewarded, madam! ”
When the magpie heard this, the smile on his face was even better, and he hurriedly patted his chest at Mrs. Zhao and said:
"Madame, rest assured! This thing is done by the slave and the maid without leakage! I'm going to take a bad breath for our girls! ”
Mrs. Zhao's face showed a look of satisfaction, and when the magpie retreated, she turned her head to look at the cuckoo and asked:
"How is Mama Gui doing these days? Can you call the doctor for a follow-up? How so? ”
The cuckoo was favored by the magpie in his eyes, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly approached Mrs. Zhao in three or two steps, and said flatteringly:
"Back to Mrs., the doctor only came to the clinic yesterday, saying that the injury on Mama Gui's back is much better, only saying that she can get out of bed after half a month, and the doctor changed the prescription yesterday, Madame Gui is relieved, Mama Gui's end, the slaves and maids are waiting for it!"
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, there was another layer of frost under her eyes.
It will take half a month to get out of bed...... How can this be called a turnaround?
Mrs. Li's twenty boards almost killed Mama Gui that day!
When she thought of this woman, Mrs. Zhao hated and feared it......
How could she know about Brother Ping'er? She is obviously not as old as Brother Ping, how could she say such a thing?
In the eighth year of Taihe, on the Lu'an Lake......
Just thinking of these eight words in Mrs. Li's mouth, Mrs. Zhao's face faded with blood!
That was a secret that she had buried for many years, and all the insiders were dealt with by her one by one, and no one except herself and Mama Gui would know!
How could Mrs. Li know...... How could she possibly know?
Could it be that Li Xiang and Mrs. Li knew about it, and this was revealed to Mrs. Li Weiwei? So will Mrs. Li tell Sister Jing or Aunt Zheng about this?
As soon as she thought that the matter might be revealed, Mrs. Zhao's heart was as anxious and tormented as an ant devouring her heart.
"Ma'am?"
Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's face was as white as paper, and the whole person fell into a trance again, she couldn't help but raise her voice and call a few more times,
"Madame...... Madam...... The eldest prince has come to visit you......"
Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses at this time, looking at Zhao Mengping's vague outline outside the door, and her fingertips shrunk in the quilt trembled a little......
"Mother...... Are you alright? ”
Zhao Mengping couldn't wait for Mrs. Zhao to ask someone to open the door, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Du Juan looked at Mrs. Zhao with a little confusion, and since Mrs. Hui got out of the carriage, her attitude towards the eldest prince has become more and more cold.
"Madame......"
The cuckoo said cautiously,
"The eldest prince is here...... Would you like to see Madame? ”
Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath, clenched her fists in the quilt, and only breathed a sigh of relief for a long time, and nodded at the cuckoo.
The cuckoo was like a big man, and hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door.
Zhao Mengping bowed in, respectfully saluted Mrs. Zhao, and looked at Mrs. Zhao with obvious concern in her eyes:
"Why did my mother lose so much weight? Isn't it a medicine that doesn't work? The son went to the hospital for his mother and asked for another doctor......"
Zhao Mengping lifted his robe and wanted to go outside as he spoke, but asked Mrs. Zhao to stop.
"Brother Ping'er ——!"
Zhao Mengping turned around, but saw Mrs. Zhao looking at him with complicated eyes, he had never seen this kind of expression on his mother's face, and his heart was inexplicably worried.
"Mother...... Don't you have something on your mind? ”
Mrs. Zhao's eyes twitched, and her eyes turned a little red.
It is said that mother and son are connected, but she and Brother Ping, the fake mother and son, have been doing it for seventeen years, but they are no different from real mothers and sons......
These days, even Sister Xian can't lift her senses only when she hurts her leg, only this fake son she brought up with one hand has keenly captured the emotions in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, stretched out her hand to Brother Ping, stroked his cheek, and said with a cover:
"It's okay for my mother, it's just that I haven't been able to get out of bed for a long time, and I'm depressed...... How are you reading these days? Can you be praised by Mr.? It's going to end next year, so you can't be fun......"
Zhao Mengping heard his mother say this, so he put his mind at ease, carefully answered Mrs. Zhao's words one by one, put Mrs. Zhao's hand into the quilt, re-folded the quilt for her, and instructed Du Juan to take care of Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao looked at her son who was so humble and filial in a daze, and her tears almost fell.
This is the son she has raised for seventeen years......
This is the son she snatched from his biological mother for seventeen years......
"Mother, how do you ......"
Zhao Mengping saw that Zhao's face was wrong, so he was about to open his mouth to ask, but he heard a shout outside:
"Madame! Oh no! Sister Xian fought with the second girl of the Pan family in Fulu Hutong! ”
"What!"
Mrs. Zhao almost rolled out of bed when she heard the sound, but Zhao Mengping grabbed Mrs. Zhao and said with relief:
"Mother rests, I'll go and see!"
