Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 560 Finale (Part )

Mrs. Hu had been quiet for some time since she was locked up in the small Buddhist temple. Later, when she learned that Xuan'er had begun to learn how to manage the household, she forced Xuan'er to plead for her in her capacity as a mother. When Xuan'er refused, she lost her temper in the Buddhist temple all day long, and her temper became worse and worse. She complained of heart pain every now and then. Mrs. Qiu, who served her, said that there were lumps all under her chest, and she would cry out in pain when touched. The doctor also prescribed medicine and asked her to be calm, but how could she do it?

I was taking the medicine while getting angry, and I got so angry that I didn't even have the strength to get up.

"The doctor examined her and said that she was depressed and needed to relax and rest. Resting could be done for her, but whether she could relax or not was up to her."

Madam Yuan no longer had any hope for her daughter-in-law. "We will do our best to treat her. If we cannot save her, that is her fate."

She will not suffer any loss in any application, after all, she has three grandchildren watching over her.

Yuan Pei hummed, "Don't let him get into any accidents within three months."

Madam Yuan nodded. Although the law did not clearly state that a husband had to observe mourning for his wife after her death, if her political opponents used this as an excuse, her promotion would have to be put on hold for the time being.

As for how to make Mrs. Hu live longer, it is also very simple. All you need to do is tell her through the servants that Wulang and his wife have a hard life. She will be much happier when she hears that her brother is in trouble and her younger sister-in-law is no longer prosperous.

Anyway, if you want her to die quickly, you just need to tell her the truth about Wulang and his wife, and she will be angry to death.

In the next few months, Yuan Pei began to pave the way for Yuan Heng. Even if the princess did not marry him, he would not be able to stay in his current position for long. Sooner or later, he would have to make way for his son, so he had to arrange it as soon as possible. He also relied on the confidence that the emperor mother was very satisfied with Yuan Su.

Three months later, Yuan Heng was successfully promoted to the Ministry of War. The emperor did not say anything, and Yuan Pei breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu, who had been imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall, made a fuss again after hearing the news and wanted to come out. Without Mrs. Qiu's constant consolation, she had become so stubborn that she was unwilling to come out. Even in the small Buddhist hall, she kept complaining about everything. Madam Yuan did not go to see her, but only instructed the people below to keep a close eye on her and not let her escape.

Half a month later, people came from Hu's family. They were her brother and niece. The niece was eighteen years old. They said that the Hu family heard that Hu was seriously ill and were worried that Xuan'er and the others would have no one to take care of them, so they sent this grown-up girl to help Hu take care of the children.

An eighteen-year-old girl is not young anymore. She is not getting married at this time and comes to take care of her aunt's children. The abacus beads fell directly on Mrs. Yuan's face. She rejected the proposal of this young lady to stay in the Yuan family on the spot. "Xuan'er is already a grown-up girl. She has the nanny to teach her etiquette and knowledge. She has maids and old women to serve her in her daily life, and I, as her grandmother, will take care of her personally."

"Wensheng is already in school, and it is a critical time for his character to grow. He should be given the guidance of a famous teacher."

"As for the youngest Qi'er, they are raised in my yard, and no one can bully them. They have their own father, mother, grandparents, so how can we delay Miss Hu?"

The Hu family is far inferior to the Yuan family, but they still hope for support from the Yuan family and dare not offend them openly. Seeing that Mrs. Yuan is determined, they have to settle for the second best and ask the Yuan family to find a marriage for the girl in the capital.

Mrs. Yuan did not agree. She had never met this man before, and he was still unmarried at such an age. Who knew what had happened in her family? She declined immediately.

After sending the man downstairs to rest, he asked someone to tell Mrs. Hu the news that Yuan Su was going to be promoted again. Mrs. Hu, who was still there, felt difficulty breathing again and severe chest pain when she heard the news, which aggravated her condition. When her brothers from her mother's side went to see her, she was unable to get out of bed again. When she heard her own brother say that he wanted to marry her niece to Yuan Heng, she immediately became angry, rolled her eyes, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then drove the man away like a madman.

She thought she had support from her parents' side, but who knew they were here to stab her. She's not dead yet!
With Hu's bullying, Mrs. Yuan had even more reason not to keep Miss Hu. The two stayed in the capital for half a month, and after getting some benefits from Yuan Heng, they returned home without saying a word of concern or advice to Hu.

On the contrary, Mrs. Hu became more energetic day by day. Although she still had chest pain, her complexion was much better. She copied scriptures for half a day every day, as if she had some enlightenment after being stabbed by her family. The following spring, Cheng Xiaosi brought the three children back to Beijing to visit me. Yuan Xin and Zhang Niangzi accompanied them. The little girl Yuan Yunchao celebrated her first birthday on the way. As soon as she entered the city, the Yuan family greeted her and happily took her back home.

"It's been four years since you left. Although we still write to each other, I still miss you when I'm not around."

When she saw Madam Yuan, her eyes were red. When she saw the baby in Yuan Xin's arms, she happily stepped forward and said, "Is this Xiaoxiao? She's so pretty."

The one-year-old child was very shy. Even though they had talked for a long time on the road, he still hugged Yuan Xin's neck tightly when he saw his grandmother Xiao Xiao. Cheng Xiao Si smiled and said, "He is a little shy. Maybe he is tired from the journey. He will be fine in two days."

Perhaps knowing that she had to give face to her mother, Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her grandmother, gave her a smile, and then hugged Yuan Xin's neck tightly.

Madam Yuan looked at them with a smile, and said, "Your yard has been swept, and the quilts and everything else have been made new. You can come in and rest now."

Her eyes fell on Madam Zhang. She knew that this young lady lived with her second uncle in Funan, but the two of them had not said anything about getting married. Her status was really awkward, and she didn't know how to arrange it.

Cheng Xiaosi said, "Mrs. Zhang is Xiaoyu's husband. She lived with Xiaoyu when she was in Funan. Now that she is back, she will live in my yard first."

Madam Zhang smiled and nodded, and Xiaoyu even held her hand, expressing that he liked this lady very much.

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once Mrs. Yuan said it, she knew that her uncle had been a bachelor for so long?
The old lady was still fantasizing about whether she would become a grandmother again one day. She also said that she dreamed of Guanyin, the goddess of fertility. Now it seems that she was just daydreaming.

The group wanted to pay their respects to the old lady first, and Madam Yuan hurriedly asked them to go back to the courtyard to wash up. "The old lady meant that you should drink a glass of water and change clothes after the long journey. Now that you are back, there is no need to rush."

She had to inform the old lady first to prevent her from being too enthusiastic and embarrassing others. But before that, she had to take the time to say a few words to Cheng Xiaosi.

"Uncle Er is right about letting things take their own course. I think they get along pretty well. They are familiar with each other and have the same hobbies. Maybe they will fall in love with each other over time."

"Their relationship is slightly more distant than a couple, but a little closer than friends, more like a family."

Madam Yuan thought that this was just a matter of giving it a push. Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said, "I dare not. Who can guess what Second Uncle is thinking? At that time, the princess gave him an ultimatum, and when it seemed that Second Uncle was about to succeed, he ran away overnight."

"But this Madam Zhang is different. She is gentle and intelligent, and she always knows what Second Uncle is thinking. During the day, the two of them spend most of their time together playing the piano, painting, writing poems, and talking. If we give them more time, we will know what the result will be as they get along slowly."

Madam Yuan thought about it and nodded, "It doesn't matter if they can't get married. At least your uncle has someone to talk to, and he won't seem lonely."

"Go wash up. I'll go to your grandmother's yard."
