Chapter 348 Birthday
"Mother doesn't have to be angry with this kind of person. It's not worth it if you get angry..." Han Ji said with a smile: "If the backyard really wants to be lively, let them do it themselves. The old lady just don't worry about it. The most important thing is to take care of yourself..."

"Yeah, even if I want to control it, I'm powerless. They have their own ideas, so let them go. It's just that you have to send someone to watch over Ruiyuan..." The old lady said with a smile, "My lord He is not wrong..."

"Of course I know that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring. I haven't hated him enough to want him to die, but the old lady doesn't have to worry..." Han Ji smiled and said, "He is slowly recovering." , as for the Lin family..."

Han Ji's face darkened slightly, and he said, "The old lady should not see her recently, lest she want to attack the old lady..."

"I know it, it is absolutely impossible for her people to intervene again. If this is the case, I will be too useless..." The old lady said with a smile: "No matter what, I have to cheer up , I can’t manage the backyard anymore, and I don’t have the spirit, but this yard, no matter what, I have to take care of it, and I will never let any mosquitoes and flies in. Hmph, this Lin’s... ..."

When she was mentioned, the old lady had a solemn expression on her face, obviously very displeased.

"Is the old lady's diet okay recently?!" Han Ji asked in a low voice.

"It's all right, Dong Lan and Xia Lan watched the cooking and eating in the small kitchen, and tried feeding it with silver needles..." The old lady smiled and said, "What can I do? Last time the imperial physician also came in to ask for a pulse, and I asked specifically, but he didn't say there was any sign of poisoning..."

"The imperial doctor must have been frightened too?!" Han Ji asked with a smile.

"Well, it's just that they don't keep their composure. I think the Hou family has a lot of private affairs, and other people's houses probably have a lot of such things. He has long since kept his composure. Even if he hears and sees it, he just pretends to be himself." He is deaf and dumb, so he dare not speak out..." The old lady said with a smile: "I have lived for so many years, and I have seen this kind of thing a lot, and the old doctor has seen it a lot. Humans will never live until now..."

"That's true..." Han Ji smiled and said, "I believe he wouldn't dare to go out and talk nonsense, causing trouble for himself..."

"Yeah..." The old lady smiled and sighed: "...I haven't treated your daughter-in-law badly all these years. At any rate, she still has a bit of conscience and didn't use vicious things to harm me. Look, there's nothing wrong with it..."

"Can he trust it?!" Han Ji whispered.

"I've got my pulse for more than ten years. He's trustworthy, and I haven't treated him badly..." The old lady smiled and said, "They are all old people who have known me for many years, and he also understands my thoughts. I guess his heart is like a mirror." What about..."

"That's good..." Han Ji felt relieved and said, "Not now, but it will be hard to say in the future. Mother is always right to be on guard..."

The old lady nodded and said: "...Your daughter-in-law is not too bad. Over the years, although she has limited qualifications, her housekeeping skills are average. ..."

"She has also been fighting with the Yang family for so many years, and you have not taken a few concubines and housekeepers. As a result, she has not been able to bear more good sons for you, but she does not allow others to have children. The little girls of these women Thoughts, I can bear it too..." Because women are selfish, these old ladies naturally did it back then, and they naturally understood that as long as they didn't go out of line, she didn't bother. The old lady said helplessly: "She did some things. Small tricks, careful thinking, as long as it doesn't hurt your heir, I'll just ignore it, but what I can't stand the most is that she dares to put nails next to our mother and son... Thinking about it, I feel extremely disappointed , shuddering, she... just can't help it, what on earth is she trying to do? Can Ruiyuan's temperament be able to provoke this Marquis Mansion?! Why can't she understand..."

"She understood, but she still did it..." Han Ji said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that our mother and son want to change people, she already knew about it, Dongmei was in this outhouse last time, I probably heard it... a woman will lose her sanity when she hates it, let alone the future of their mother and child, but she has failed the old lady's heart..."

Last time the old lady said that whoever treats their mother and child well should be chosen. Unexpectedly...

The old lady also thought of this, so she sighed and said nothing.

"It's better for mother to be careful..." Han Ji said in a low voice, "Mother is fine. If she can take care of herself, I can rest assured..."

The old lady nodded, patted the back of his hand, and said, "If you're busy, go..."

Han Ji nodded, then got up and left.

The old lady sat blankly for a while, until Donglan and Xia Lan came in, she came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Do you miss Chunlan Qiulan?! These two girls don't know if the girl they serve is good?! "

The two looked at each other, and Xia Lan smiled and said: "Chunlan Qiulan has been with the old lady for so many years, and she is also a very smart person. They will definitely be able to serve the third girl well. Don't worry, the old lady..."

"That's right, those two girls are really smart..." The old lady smiled and sighed: "The eighth day of the eighth lunar month... will be here soon, and it's the girl's birthday, I don't know if she will be willing to enter the Hou's mansion again..."

However, Xia Lan and Dong Lan thumped in their hearts. They bit their lips and helped the old lady lie on the couch and helped her cover the quilt. The old lady closed her eyes and ordered: "Dong Lan, go to the second Madam let me know, let her hold a banquet on the eighth day of August and invite a troupe back to make it lively." The two of them bit their lips and their hearts became more confused, Dong Lan responded in a low voice, seeing that she was fast asleep, Only then did he bring it out the door.

Xia Lan took Dong Lan to a secluded place, and said in a low voice: "The eighth day of the eighth month is the anniversary of the death of the empress in the house. Last time I heard that the three girls' birthdays were on the same day as the empress. This... Dong Lan Lan, don't you think it's weird?!"

"I also feel a little bit, but I can't figure it out..." Dong Lan said in a low voice: "The old lady remembered the third girl's birthday last time, and she said it as soon as she opened her mouth. Obviously she took it to heart. Last time I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was the same day, the old lady remembered it, but this time..."

"This time, the old lady hasn't been able to eat well or sleep well these days. I just talked to the general. I guess it's because of this..." Xia Lan said in a low voice, "The old lady misses the third girl so much." Birthday, this is what I think about, I always feel..."

Dong Lan thumped in her heart, opened her mouth nervously, then closed it again, and said after a long time: "...the old lady used to tell us no matter what happened, but recently the old lady refused to talk to us no matter how frowning she was. I said it as if I had something on my mind, I'm afraid I can't tell any of us, I always feel..."

The two looked at each other, and almost didn't dare to think about it anymore. They both had an astonishing result, and they didn't dare to say it for a while...

"What a coincidence..."

"Yeah, what a coincidence..." Xia Lan murmured: "The death day and birthday are on the same day, and the third girl is so similar to the empress, she... could she be, could she be..."

"The old lady also takes it very seriously. When it's her birthday, she doesn't think about food and drink. We know how much the old lady misses her mother these years. During this time of the year, the old lady always thinks about it. Like this, but this year the old lady put all her sustenance and thoughts on the third girl, always remembering her birthday, you say, Xia Lan..." Dong Lan said in a low voice: "... last time, the third girl A robe beat the young master like that, the old lady didn't bother to pursue it, she just took it off lightly, we can see how unconvinced the old lady is, how much the old lady loves the young master on weekdays Ah, I even held back it, if I say... there is no other reason, I don't believe it..."

"Isn't it..." Xia Lan simply sat on the railing and said in a low voice: "If the third girl is just a daughter of the general's concubine, why should the old lady care about this?! There are few children in the Marquis's mansion, but they are direct relatives. I have two granddaughters, and I have never seen the old lady care so much... Besides, the old lady can't remember the birthdays of the five ladies, and we only know about the old lady every year...hey..."

"Isn't it..." Dong Lan was stunned for a while, and then she didn't dare to say any more. The two of them actually had suspicions in their hearts.

After a pause, Dong Lan said again: "The old lady wants us to talk to the second wife, what can I say?!"

Dong Lan was very embarrassed, and said: "I can't say it's celebrating the third girl's birthday, this, this..."

Xia Lan sighed softly: "I know it's difficult, forget it, I'll go..."

"It's better for me to go. You are in charge of the old lady's storeroom. You are too far away. After a while, the old lady wakes up and needs you to serve her..." Dong Lan said in a low voice, "I'm still here to do this kind of bad person thing." Do it, I'm not afraid of offending people..."

Xia Lan said in a low voice: "Yes, the ninth day of August is Fourth Miss Lingru's birthday, and it's the third girl's birthday, what can the fourth girl do?! The old lady didn't even mention it. The second wife is also not happy, Donglan, you go, just say that the eighth day and the ninth day are both birthdays, let her prepare a two-day banquet, and when the old lady wakes up, I will talk to the old lady about this As for the matter, even if the old lady has no intention of doing so, she can't make everyone in the family unhappy. It's probably not the old lady's intention to make this happen on the same birthday of the three girls..."

"Okay..." Dong Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go..." After speaking, she stood up and left.

Xia Lan saw her go out of the gate of the main yard, and then went back, and only stayed in the outer room to concentrate on sewing. This is her overstepping the rules, but the second wife who can't be messed with by the old lady is not happy anymore.
