I don't know how long I slept this night, and when I opened my eyes again, I only felt that the window lattice could no longer suppress the sun, and the sun poured in from every crevice.

"Don't mention this matter again, don't bother the old lady again." A stern and deep voice came from under the porch, pulling the old lady back from her trance to reality.

As soon as she heard the tone of Han Zhongzhe's voice, she knew that something was going on. This day, it's not worry-free!

The old lady snorted softly, moved to sit up, and alarmed the maid who was waiting.

"Are you awake?" The little maid asked crisply, and quickly helped her to sit down.

The sound under the porch also stopped, as if sifting through the movement in the room.

"What's wrong?" The old lady cleared her throat and asked outside the house.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and Chang's mother had already come in with the little girl who was in charge of washing.

"Are you awake? You have a good night's sleep, the lord has already returned from the next court. Chang's mother said as she waited for the old lady to wash.

"Tell me, which room is the moth again?" The old lady combed it neatly and walked slowly into the outer room.

Han Zhongzhe stood outside the house and responded unhurriedly: "What's the matter? It's just that I heard that a few sisters disturbed my mother by playing last night, so I told the people to be vigilant and stop bothering you with these trivial things. ”

The old lady glanced at Chang's mother, only to see that she quickly turned her head, pretending not to see the old lady's gaze. She hummed quietly, and when breakfast was ready, she sent her subordinates, leaving only Han Zhongzhe to eat together.

"Everything went smoothly in the palace last night?"

Han Zhongzhe just put a spoonful of porridge in his mouth, and almost choked when he heard this question.

"It's all routine, there's nothing smooth or uneven. The Shen family's matter came quickly and suddenly, but it was just a report to the official family. ”

The old lady paused, and looked at Han Zhongzhe's eyes a little heavier. The Shen family did not go to the Shen family when something happened, but hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint, if there was no article here, her old woman's life would be in vain. But she didn't have a seizure at all, and still asked steadily: "How did the official family react?" ”

Han Zhongzhe cleared his throat, and the scene from last night jumped vividly in front of him. He clearly remembered the uncertain look on the official's face, and even more remembered the panic that flashed in the teacher's eyes.

It is obviously the official's idea to take down the Shen family, and Shen Nanzheng is the last hope of the Shen family.

"Transfer all the people from the Tai Hospital, and if you can't keep the child, don't come back to see me."

What does this mean exactly? Han Zhongzhe can't see through it.

"It's nothing, it's just that the hospital will keep an eye on it." Han Zhongzhe pretended to be relaxed.

"That's good, the official family is nostalgic for the old love, and you must also be considerate of the official family's heart."

The drum in Han Zhongzhe's heart was beating loudly, and his mother's words were obviously beating him, but how could things be so simple? Officialdom and grace, where will it be like the mother-in-law and mother in this backyard, noisy today, beaten tomorrow, and able to talk and laugh the day after tomorrow. That's dozens or even thousands of lives at every turn. Old love, hum, is there still an old love?

"That's what Mother said. Fortunately, the child of the Shen family was lucky, and the official family sincerely protected him, and he was so seriously injured that he finally saved his life. ”

"Old Ancestor, please ask Old Ancestor to save your life!" Suddenly there was a commotion from under the porch, and the voice of a maidservant crying out was terrible.

Chang's mother hurried out of the house, and saw Pei'er in Rong's yard in disheveled and embarrassed prostrate on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic, while begging: "Ancestor help!" ”

Mother Chang was about to be reprimanded sharply, when she heard the old lady ask in a deep voice: "Early in the morning, what's the noise?" ”

When Pei'er heard the sound, she took advantage of the distraction of her mother, and crawled into the house with a roll, and lay straight at the old lady's feet.

"Ancestor, Lord, Pei'er, I beg you, save Pei'er! Erniang wants Pei'er's life, Pei'er really has no way to live, so she came to ask the ancestors for mercy! Pell was visibly panicked, and she didn't care about the occasion and proportion of her speech.

"Where did you come from, this unruly girl, drag it down! Who is raising these mothers-in-law and envoys now, so that she can be so open-mouthed? No one yet?! Han Zhongzhe threw away the dishes and chopsticks, and his face was so heavy that he could eat people.

Chang's mother received the order and hurried to help Pei'er, but she heard the old lady say unhurriedly: "Let's get up and talk slowly, early in the morning, what kind of system!" ”

Pei'er didn't stop doing anything, and hurriedly said according to the old lady's words: "Yesterday, Errong Xiaoniang asked the slave maid to bring a bowl of soup and medicine to Xiao Button, saying that it was pitiful that he was beaten by Miss Bao for no reason. The slave didn't know that the decoction was drugged, and the little button passed out not long after drinking it, and then was thrown to the bottom of the lake. ”

Pei'er said it earnestly, but Han Zhongzhe was furious when he heard it. He had heard about it early in the morning, and he didn't want the old lady to know about it, but he couldn't hide it. What kind of pickled things that can't be put on the table, but they are also used here to make noise?!

"Full of Hu Qin, what kind of quiet place is my Shangshu Mansion where there will be such pickled things? However, a subordinate accidentally fell into the water, and was falsely spread by you and other people who told the truth and wrong, and came here to pollute the ears of the ancestors. ”

The old lady's eyelids sank, and she snorted lightly to interrupt Han Zhongzhe's anger. She lifted her chin slightly and motioned for Pell to continue.

"Lord Mingjian, even if you give 10,000 guts to slaves and maids, you don't dare to talk nonsense. It's just—just—" Pell said without a voice.

"Since the ancestor allows you, you will come one by one." Chang's mother patted Pei'er on the back.

Miss Qi said that the little button was killed by the slave maid, and let the slave bury his body while it was dark, or else, or ...... Ancestor help, Pei'er doesn't want to die. ”

The old lady had already heard and understood the ins and outs, and she must have reprimanded Rong Xiaoniang a few words yesterday and asked her to handle Sister Yi'er's affairs properly, so she thought of such a one-and-a-half way. This idiot, everyone says that she is clear-eyed, probably relying on her own cleverness to blindfold the heart of the lord, and she is so unscrupulous.

"The lord is also here, and he is in charge of the court's major affairs every day, and now is the right time to pick up your backyard."

Han Zhongzhe's eyes closed, he secretly said in his heart, and said with a calm face: "Yes, my mother taught me." Mother Chang, can these maids have a mother-in-law? ”

"Yes," Chang's mother glanced at the old lady and replied: "Now the courtyard is Rong Xiaoniang's house, and I am responsible for taking care of the old lady's side, and in the garden, Mother Zhao in Rong Xiaoniang's house is in charge." ”

"Then hand over the person to this Mother Zhao, and let her ask her to be good at discipline. The Lord's family does not let them eat dry food when they raise these people, so they will send this errand as soon as possible! Such trivial matters have to be handled by the master's family, so what's the use of raising you?! ”

Han Zhongzhe shook his shirt and was about to get up, but Pei'er was caught off guard and hugged Han Zhongzhe's leg, crying with his life: "Master, this is sending Pei'er to die!" That Mrs. Zhao is Rong Xiaoniang's person, how can Pei'er still survive when she goes back? Lord, Lord, you see! ”

Han Zhongzhe kicked her in disgust, how could Pei'er's weak body withstand such a big man's force, and in an instant she was thrown away like a rag doll and hit the door frame fiercely. But Pei'er didn't care about the pain, and desperately crawled back like a lost dog. desperately grabbed Han Zhongzhe's trouser leg and didn't let go.

"You slave, you dare to blackmail the master's family, and you won't pull me down!?"

Han Zhongzhe was almost furious, and the old lady said coldly when she saw this: "Hurry up and stop, since the lord has spoken, how can there be any reason not to give you justice?" ”

She paused, and then said to Han Zhongzhe: "A housekeeper's wife just follows the master's orders, and if something happens, she only uses the work to fill it, what is the reason?" Family affairs are like state affairs, how can you want to be lazy and push because of trivialities? What's more, now that someone has died, a small mess will mess up the atrium, but the lord has to wait for the matter to go to court?! ”

Han Zhongzhe was so annoyed in his heart, and he was angry at breakfast, but he didn't dare to openly disobey his mother, so he had to endure his temperament and respond: "What my mother taught me is that the child only thinks about his mother's fatigue for a few days, and he can't stand the trouble of many miscellaneous things, but the child is shallow and not as thoughtful as his mother." ”

Only then did the old lady ease her expression, and ordered a group of people to be summoned.
