On a summer afternoon, the sun scorched the earth, and the house was like a steamer, hot and sweaty. On the tree outside the window, the summer cicadas hissed, and Mrs. Zhong pulled her daughter to sit on the bed, her eyes poking into her neckline.

Miss Chung sensed her mother's movements and straightened her clothes.

"What is Mother looking at?"

Mrs. Zhong looked at her daughter with a good gaze: "A few days ago, after you served me and took medicine, I became sleepy and slept earlier than usual, did you move your hands and feet in the medicine?"

Miss Zhong looked away with a little weakness: "That's also because my mother can't sleep well when she gets up, so I specially added some calming herbs to it." ”

Mrs. Zhong shook her head in disappointment: "Whether you are for me to sleep peacefully or to see your senior brother, you know it in your own heart." ”

Miss Zhong was pierced to her heart by her mother's eyes, and her eyes darkened.

"My daughter is also forced to do so, since the senior brother and the one from Yan Laixuan reconciled, she has never come here. The people in the house watched people put down dishes, and they also ignored their mothers a lot. My mother didn't let me go to my brother, so I had to make this decision. ”

Mrs. Chung pushed her daughter away.

"We're just sending people under the fence, and it's not as convenient as being in our own home. Your senior brother has already married a family, and he is willing to help us, how can you have the intention of complaining. Your brother's wife has been very generous to us, and there has never been a shortage of money and expenses. Besides, did you really go to see your senior brother to seek justice for me?"

Miss Zhong's tears fell down her eyes, and she hugged Mrs. Zhong with sobs and choking.

"Auntie, I don't want to, I know that my senior brother is already married, and I shouldn't have feelings for him anymore. But sometimes I think again, why should I give in with my brother's childhood sweetheart, all this should be mine. ”

Mrs. Zhong got up angrily and ripped open her daughter's collar. Miss Zhong's neck was mottled with purple marks, and Mrs. Zhong was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

"You really ...... Sure enough, he did something irreparable! Do you know that he is already married, he can't give you any promises, his Yue family is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the Liu family will never let you in. And I've raised it for more than ten years, and I didn't let you be a concubine. ”

Miss Zhong was angered by her mother's words and roared angrily: "I don't care, Senior Brother said that he only has me in his heart, and I only have Senior Brother in my heart, even if I am a concubine, I want to be with Senior Brother." No matter how strong the Liu family is, can it still be managed in the backyard of the senior brother?"

During the quarrel between the mother and daughter, Mrs. Zhong was angry, and with a "snap", the slap was thrown on Miss Zhong's face. The mother and daughter were both stunned.

Mrs. Zhong thought that her daughter would hide, and Miss Zhong thought that her mother would not really fight.

Immediately, Miss Zhong's white and tender face turned red.

Mrs. Zhong wanted to hug her daughter, but Miss Zhong avoided her.

"I thought A-Niang could understand me, I have been a childhood sweetheart with my brother for more than ten years, I don't mind being a concubine or not, I just want to be with my brother. ”

Mrs. Zhong covered her face with her hands, tears spilling from her fingers.

"Why don't you understand my hard work, I just want you to live your life peacefully, and I don't want you to be small, even if this person is your senior brother. Once your father's teachings and my advice, you have forgotten them, just for a man, you broke the bones of our family!"

The mother and daughter couldn't convince anyone, so Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she rushed out of the door, then locked the outside of the house, and assigned two girls to guard the door.

That night, Mrs. Zhong sat in the house all night. Early the next morning, I removed the hairpin ring and went to Yanlaixuan in plain clothes.

Since talking to Qingming, Liu Yiyi is in a much better mood. In the past few days, Zhao Han went to the household department to take up his post, and when he was busy, he stayed directly in the yamen. Liu Yiyi didn't care.

Hearing that Mrs. Zhong came to visit, Liu Yiyi was still a little confused.

When the mother and daughter of the Zhong family entered the house, she asked people to arrange a courtyard, and they all came according to the rules for food and accommodation. Except for Miss Zhong who came to poke her lung tubes from time to time, Mrs. Zhong rarely went out of the hospital.

Except for seeing each other on the first day of entering the mansion and having a meal together, Liu Yiyi almost never saw Mrs. Zhong.

"Since Mrs. Zhong is visiting, please come in!"

I changed into a big coat to go to the front hall.

Liu Yiyi appeared, and Mrs. Zhong got up to salute her.

"The old woman has seen Madame. ”

Liu Yiyi hurriedly shouted.

"Mrs. Zhong must not, you are your husband's master, and you can be regarded as my elder, how can there be a reason in this world for elders to salute their juniors. It's time for the juniors to salute you. ”

Mrs. Zhong didn't dare to say anything, and the two politely sat down with each other.

Liu Yiyi greeted Mrs. Zhong's life in the house, and Mrs. Zhong said yes.

"Everything is fine in the house, there is no shortage of food and clothing, there is a house to shelter from the rain, and there is a jacket to block the wind. All of this is thanks to Madame. ”

Liu Yiyi waved her hand.

"Where, Mrs. Zhong is polite, this is what our juniors should do. ”

After the greetings, Yang Yuanqing asked about Mrs. Zhong's intention, and Mrs. Zhong stepped down from her seat and knelt in front of Yang Yuanqing.

"I have come today to ask Madame for one thing, and ask Madame to fulfill the old woman's wish. ”

Liu Yiyi hurriedly leaned over to help, but Mrs. Zhong couldn't hold on.

"This matter may embarrass Madame, so please allow Madame to finish speaking. ”

Liu Yi couldn't help it, so she went with Mrs. Zhong.

"What's the matter with Madame, to put it bluntly, as long as I can do it, I will naturally help Madame do it. ”

Madame Chung took a deep breath.

"It's about my daughter, who is not young now, and the marriage has not yet been settled, and this matter has always been my heart problem. ”

Liu Yiyi sat up straight, and her face gradually became serious.

"Madame has something, just say it. ”

Mrs. Zhong noticed the change in Liu Yiyi's attitude before and after, and her body stiffened.

"I shouldn't have asked Madame for this matter, it might make Madame a little embarrassed, but I don't know who to ask for at the moment. I thought, please help my daughter find a mother-in-law. ”

Mrs. Zhong said that, Liu Yiyi's body relaxed.

"I wonder what kind of son-in-law Madame wants?"

If it was before, there was Zhao Han, the brother of the new champion, it would not be impossible to find a family with a medium family background. But now, her daughter has lost her body, and she can only beg Liu Yiyi with her conscience behind her back, and find an ordinary family for her daughter casually. I hope that after the incident, the other party will look at Liu Yiyi's face and dare not embarrass her daughter.

"The old woman is not very demanding, just ordinary children, and the family background is average. After all, we're not a big family. ”

Liu Yiyi answered: "Then how can you do it, Miss Zhong is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she has the backing of her father-in-law, how can she find an ordinary family?"

Mrs. Chung insisted.

"Madame, don't be joking, even when her father is still alive, it is best to find a son-in-law. What's more, we orphans and widows don't dare to climb high when they live in the house. ”

Liu Yiyi helped the person up, which was considered to be in response to Mrs. Zhong's request.
