urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 208
In Mu Zhaozhao's heart, Cheng'anbo Mansion is definitely not a good place.

She didn't want to go from the bottom of her heart, but as soon as she rolled her eyes, she was ready to refuse.

However, before she could speak, Mrs. Hou frowned again and said, "You don't know much about the honorable family, so don't talk too much, just keep company with the eldest concubine of Cheng En Gong's mansion."

He also worriedly told: "Remember to be careful with your words and deeds, and never offend anyone."

Mu Zhaozhao was originally worried that they wanted to harm him in private, but now that he heard this, he mistakenly thought that they were the heir concubines who wanted to use himself to climb into Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

After all, during these days, Mo Xiuhe from Cheng En Gong's Mansion often came to arrest people for questioning by investigating the kerosene case.

The old lady was more frightened, fearing that some clues would be discovered, and wanted to establish a relationship with Mo Xiuhe.

But Mo Xiuhe was entrusted by Qin Mu before, and he also knew that Qin Mu still doubted Madam Hou in his heart.

Although the fire started first in the old lady's yard at the time of the incident, and it is supposed to be possible to get rid of the suspicion, but Qin Mu still felt that it was a coincidence that Mrs. Hou brought her children back to her mother's house that day.

Therefore, Mo Xiuhe and the people from the Ministry of Punishment were asked to come and hang out from time to time, not only to make them dare not act rashly, but also to let them show some flaws under the anxiety.

And the old lady did specially ask Xuan Pinghou to entertain Third Master Mo, just to build a good relationship in private.

But Mo Xiuhe said in an official tone, saying that he is still on an errand and cannot have close contacts with the people in their Xuanpinghoufu.

Xuan Pinghou originally thought that he was an elder, and it would be embarrassing enough to lower his figure to make friends with the younger generation, but he refused him so shamelessly, and he couldn't hold back his face to say anything more.

Therefore, when Mu Zhaozhao heard this, he thought it was because they wanted to have a relationship with Duke Cheng'en's mansion, hesitated for a while, and agreed.

Madam Hou saw that her face was as pink as a peach blossom, and her skin was also very shiny, and she knew that she was living a good life these days.

Thinking of what the maids said about the kitchen of Shi'anju, the smell is tangy when it's time to eat, not to mention the common ones such as chicken, duck, fish, sheep and rabbit, even the rare mountain delicacies such as squab, colorful pheasant, and bamboo chicken. Carry them inside cage by cage.

It made her jealous just thinking about it.

But she couldn't hold back her face and said that you sent me some of those mountain treasures, so she could only say with a cold face: "My son went out to Fengzang to sleep in the open, I don't think you miss it at all, otherwise how could you gain weight?" What about the circle?"

Mu Zhaozhao agreed in his heart that she was telling the truth.

But she definitely can't admit it, otherwise she won't say anything if it spreads bad news, and it will make the Meng family feel uncomfortable, and make Qin Mu suspect that she doesn't miss him at all and cares about him.

"It's mainly because my parents want me to make up for it." Mu Zhaozhao held his breath, and finally blushed, pretending to be shy: "I'm also listening to my parents, recuperate my body, and look forward to getting better soon." Open branches and leaves for the son."

Madam Hou's complexion changed, she didn't want Mu Zhaozhao to get pregnant so soon, she waved her hand sullenly, signaling her to leave.

After Mu Zhaozhao left, Mrs. Hou couldn't hold back her anger anymore, she raised her hand and slapped the table: "It's really deceiving people too much."

Then he got up and went to the mother-in-law's yard.

The old lady has only felt better in the past two days since she was so frightened by the fire last time.

After hearing her daughter-in-law's complaint, she raised her eyelids and sighed: "Didn't I tell you before? Don't provoke her, there will be a long time to come, and there will be opportunities to teach her to be a human being."

Mrs. Hou was not happy anymore: "Mother, how can a mother-in-law put up with a daughter-in-law? At first I thought her background was easy to handle, but now I realize that she is shameless, and I still have to look at her face? "

"Now that her life is so comfortable, it really pissed me off."

The old lady really wanted her to be out of sight, and she knew she couldn't do it, so she gave her an idea: "It's easy to embarrass her if you want to."

"There is not much money on the books in the house. You pretend to be sick and let her take care of the house. It's the Chinese New Year, and there are many New Year gifts everywhere. Let her be in charge of the house, which will make her very busy and find her. wrong."

It's really not easy to be a family member, and the public doesn't have much money, so there's no need to worry about being taken over by Mu Zhaozhao.

After all, although the Xuanpinghou Mansion cannot be said to be short-lived now, there is nothing to be greedy for.

But Mrs. Hou didn't want to. Instead, she felt that her mother-in-law was being foolish, and immediately retorted: "That won't work. There are a lot of things sent by the Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year, so we can't let her touch it."

"And I don't believe that she will fill it with her own dowry, but let her know our family background."

The old lady really wanted to say that she had shallow eyelids, and with Mu Zhaozhao's generous dowry when she entered the house, at least Shi'anju could live comfortably.

Madam Hou frowned again and said: "Mother, there are too many people serving in Shi'an Residence, and the monthly silver for maids and women is more than 50 taels, why don't you let her send some people out?"

Those who serve in the old lady's yard are just two nurses in charge, two big maids, four young maids, and four women who do sundries.

She is also surrounded by similar maids and mothers-in-law.

But beside Mu Zhaozhao, there was a nanny, two big maids, four young maids, two women who worked in the kitchen, and four women who were rough envoys.

Adding the two stewardesses I gave her, four big maids with other purposes, and four women who do sundries, there are 23 servants in total.

The old lady frowned when she heard this: "I remember that you sent some maids and wives specially for their use, so there is no useful news?"

"I shouldn't have counted on those idiots." Speaking of this, Mrs. Hou felt sorry for the skinny horse she had spent a lot of money on: "It's not that the concubine Shizi doesn't let them in to serve, or that someone is staring at them and won't let them in." Walking around at will, or that is to say, the imperial concubine does not step out of the door, and they have not seen anyone."

"Either it means that the Meng family sent something, and there is no other important news at all."

As soon as the old lady heard this, she understood that Mu Zhaozhao had subdued them.

Thinking about it again, Mu Zhaozhao had to leave because of the deed of selling himself, so it's no wonder they didn't dare to betray their current master.

She sighed: "In the future, don't expect those people to give you any useful news. Even if they say something, you should pay more attention to it. This deed is not in your hands anymore. How can you still count on it?" Are they faithful?"

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she felt even worse.

The old lady couldn't help persuading her a few words: "Okay, don't be in a hurry, the more you are in a hurry, the easier it is to make mistakes, and there will be more opportunities in the future?"

Mrs. Hou talked about Hou'er's banquet: "Mother, will you go too? You go back and relax. You will feel better and feel lighter."

Although she felt that her mother-in-law and aunt became more cautious as she got older, she still knew what was good and bad in her heart, and knew that her mother-in-law would not harm her, so she sincerely hoped that her health would recover.

Hearing her concern, the old lady finally showed a smile: "It's too cold outside, I'm getting older, and I don't need to go back anymore, so I won't go back, and I'll go back next year when the weather gets warmer. "

It's not that she really didn't go out because she was afraid of the cold, but because they were not around, she could take the opportunity to meet her sister-in-law.

She had to have an explanation for the kerosene incident back then, or else they thought they were afraid of them?
"That's what mother said!" Mrs. Hou talked about her mother's family with her, and after a while, she heard a little indistinct crying outside.

She asked the silent mother-in-law beside her: "Go and see what's going on, mother still needs to take care of her body, who doesn't have eyes and is crying outside?"

The mother-in-law said with a low eyebrow, "Yes."

After she went out, she saw a few maids blocking Xiulan's entry, her face sank, and the folds on her face were like chrysanthemums: "Shut up, what are you making a fuss about! You disturbed the old lady and Mrs. Hou talking." , can you afford it?"

Although she said that she was not polite, she actually reminded Xiulan to leave quickly, lest she would not be able to leave if she wanted to.

Ever since Xiulan gave birth to Master Hou's concubine, she has become a thorn in Madam Hou's eyes, and she can't wait to kill both mother and child.

If it wasn't for the old lady beating Mrs. Hou, I'm afraid the mother and son wouldn't be alive today.

She was also willing to mention her because she saw that the young master was really cute, and Xiulan often sneaked over to greet the old lady with the young master in her arms.

Xiulan immediately knelt down in front of her and begged: "Mother Jin, help me, brother Han has a fever, but the doctor is not at the house, please ask mother to find a doctor for brother Han? Brother Han is still young, so we really can't delay?"

She had no choice but to count on her son for the rest of her life.

However, the doctor in the mansion said that he went out to dispense medicine, and he may not be able to come back today.

If it's delayed until dark, I'm afraid it's even worse to call a doctor.

When Mother Jin heard this, her face became even uglier, and she said in a low voice, "You go back first!"

But it was too late, Mrs. Hou had already left the door, took the enamel hand stove with lotus flowers inlaid from the maid and walked over, and said calmly: "Isn't it normal for a child to have a headache?"

"I'll send someone to find Dr. An, so you can take good care of Brother Han?"

After she finished speaking, she deliberately stopped in front of her, and said with disdain in her eyes: "If you can't take care of my son well, I don't mind changing someone else to take care of me."

She is the child's aunt, and she is unwilling to take care of the concubine, because she is worried that if the child dies in her hands, it will destroy her beauty in Lord Hou's heart.

The reason why he can tolerate their mother and son living up to now is because of his aunt's advice, and he doesn't want to give himself a bad reputation for people like them.

But if the child doesn't live up to his expectations and can't survive, then she naturally wishes for it.

After Madam Hou finished speaking, she gave Jin Mama a warning look, and then walked away with her maid.

Xiulan begged Mum Jin again, but Mum Jin didn't dare to agree: "Since Madam has asked Dr. An to come back, why don't you go back and take care of the child?"
