Chapter 160: Three Women in One Play
Murong Xi drank tea quietly and waited for the second lady to come to Wutong Garden.
The third lady also held the mentality of sitting and watching a good show, waiting for the arrival of the second sister-in-law who pressed her everywhere.
I thought that Murong Xi really wanted to handle and salute Murong Yue, and she was scared to death!
With Murong Xi's current status as the princess, it can be said that she is even higher than the nobles in the palace.
If he really became Murong Yue's praiser, the gap between the second room and the third room would be more than a star and a half.
When she learned that Murong Xi had come to find the second sister-in-law, the third lady was extremely comfortable.
Just as he was thinking about whether to fall into the well with Murong Ji to the second sister-in-law, there was finally a sound of footsteps outside the door.
The second lady wiped her forehead with her head and walked into the door with the support of the maidservant.
first glanced at Murong Xi, tried his best to suppress the malice in his eyes, and then blessed the old lady, "Mother, is there something wrong with me?" ”
"Bang!" The old lady threw the teacup in her hand on the small table, and said coldly: "What? It's okay in the morning, but I can't even get up right now? What kind of terminal illness is this? ”
The second lady was slightly stunned, based on the relationship between her and her mother-in-law, thinking that her mother-in-law would understand and understand what she wanted to do.
But her mother-in-law's reaction, she was confused.
Covering her mouth and coughing a few times, the second lady said: "The symptoms have not yet shown in the morning, and after I went back, my body began to have a fever, and I may have contracted a cold——"
"Second aunt, I have long said that this is an illness, why didn't the second aunt take Sister Xue'er to see the doctor?" Murong Xi said with a smile.
The second lady tried her best to avoid confronting Murong Xi head-on, it was obvious enough to ignore her, she still leaned on her like a dog skin plaster, the second lady was so angry that her lips were trembling, and she retorted: "I have seen it, it is not a big problem, don't bother the princess." ”
"Since it's okay, let's explain to the old body, why didn't the princess receive the birthday invitation? Didn't the old man say that you must not leave the post of the palace? The old lady was not used to her, and her sick appearance was pretended at a glance.
The second lady froze in place, co-authoring because of this?
She glared at Murong Xi meaningfully, and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Mother doesn't know anything - there are too many people invited, and the post is still not well prepared, so someone has been sent to supplement it." How could the princess's post be forgotten? I always remember what my mother said. ”
In fact, whether the old lady said this sentence or not, everyone present knew it.
But the second lady can refute it.
"Since you know that there are many guests invited, you haven't even prepared a post? How did you become a mistress? If you can't get busy, call the third family to help! ”
The old lady was obviously moved.
The right of the house to control the middle feed has always been in the hands of the second room, but the ability of the third room is not bad, but it is because the official position of the third room in the court is not as good as that of the second room, so that he can sit in the position of the housewife.
The position is sitting, and the power is actually still in the hands of the old lady.
In addition, the male of the Murong family has always adhered to the emperor's loyalty and filial piety, and he is obedient to the old lady.
Seeing that the second master is getting more and more difficult in the court, if even the rights of the master mother in his hands are deprived, it will be even more difficult to get some Murong Xue's dowry in the future.
A trace of panic flashed in the second lady's eyes, but she pretended to be calm and said: "Mother, this matter is a matter of supply, even if the third brother and sister come to help, it is just a matter of running errands, and these can be called subordinates." What's more, the princess is her own family, and even if her family doesn't have an invitation, the days should be remembered, right? Princess? ”
"Listening to the second aunt's angry voice, it seems that the wind chill is really good." Murong Xi evoked a few hints of ridicule, "It's like that day in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the second aunt arrogantly said that I was already a married person, and I have nothing to do with the Murong family-"
"You put - nonsense!" The second lady was so angry that she didn't care about pretending to be sick, and shouted, "When did I say that you have nothing to do with the Murong family?" I'm just saying that your behavior and style can't represent the Murong family. ”
The third lady whispered: "Why is the second sister-in-law still angry?" It's so loud, don't shake your mother! ”
The old lady was stunned by the arrogance of the second lady, and when she heard the third lady's reminder, she came to her senses, "Okay, good!" What happened to Ji'er? Why can't it represent the Murong family? Her reputation in Guozijian is much stronger than your uncompetitive son, you dare to say that she is not from my Murong family? ”
In the matter of Guozijian, Murong Xi is famous, and the old lady lives in a simple house, and she can often hear people talking about it.
However, what happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion, only the second lady went to the banquet, and the rest of the ladies were also afraid of being burned, so they never said a word, and the old lady naturally didn't understand the subtleties, so she only said angrily: "And Xue'er, a good girl's family, what is it like to be pampered by you?" United outsiders against his sisters, if it weren't for her, would he have today? ”
The old lady also endured it for a long time, and refused to put things on the bright side, taking care of her son's face.
Now seeing that the second family didn't know what kind of ghost they were in, they dared to say nonsense to Murong Xi who was sent to the door, she was angry, and began to count the second lady without words.
The second lady tore off the forehead wipe, simply stopped pretending, and said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about?" What was Shen Hede's identity at the beginning, but my mother doesn't remember? Xue'er is friendly with Shen Hede, and it wasn't instructed by her mother? ”
"How could my mother put all the fault on Cher after the incident at the east window? Don't blame the real culprit? ”
In the end, the second lady glared at Murong Xi viciously.
Murong Xi smiled helplessly, "The culprit that the second aunt said is not me, right?" ”
"Dare you say you didn't get in the way? Pity me Xue'er still treats you as a cousin, but you don't care about sisterhood at all, you are simply forcing her to death! ”
The second lady's pent-up emotions for a long time finally found an outlet to vent, and the volume was raised a few points.
The old lady pointed her finger at her with a trembling finger, "Shut up for me!" It's the other way around, it's going to turn the sky upside down! The old body is not dead yet, so he dares to reverse right and wrong in front of the old body, and speak wildly! ”
She swept her arm over the table, and she pushed the teacups, teapots, and tray incense burners to the ground.
The crackling sound suddenly sounded, and the second lady's heart sank, suspecting that she had just been taken away by someone, so she would say those brainless words.
"Plop", the second lady also made a decision on the spot, knelt on the broken porcelain without thinking, and said tremblingly: "The daughter-in-law knows her mistake, the mother is not angry, it is not worth it if she is angry." ”
Murong Xi didn't expect the second lady to be so able to take it and put it down, her eyes flashed slightly, and she heard the old lady beside her sigh: "Get up." The old body also knows that you are chaotic because you care, and the more times like this, the better it is to keep your eyes open, and you must distinguish that only your family can help you get out of trouble. ”
Murong Xi: "? "There are words in the words!
