The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 196 Letter (2)
The twins played in Ziweiyuan for a while, and became sleepy. Zhao Jing asked the nanny to take them back to Songhe Hall for a nap, and the little maid sent them there and returned, saying that Mrs. Xu had not returned to Songhe Hall.Seeing that the sky was getting dark gradually, Zhao Jing was also a little anxious. Mrs. Xu had always lived reclusively, and Zhao Jing couldn't imagine where she would go.

Zhao Jing had no choice but to ask the little girl to call Mother Han to come over. She, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, would always know something about the whereabouts of the old lady.

Han's mother shrank her neck these days, and she didn't even show her face in front of the old lady when she was fine.Zhao Jing knew what she was afraid of. Before Yueyin left, she was afraid that Zhao Jing would mention this matter, so she was very nervous all the way to Ziweiyuan. It was not until she met Zhao Jing that she was blessed, and said with a smile : "I heard that Mr. Zhao is ill. I wanted to come and see it early in the morning. It's just that there are many things outside, so I didn't come here."

Zhao Jing asked her to sit down with a smile, and asked her: "It's common sense that Madam Han is busy with affairs, but I still have to ask you something, do you know where the old lady is going this afternoon?"

Mother Han frowned and shook her head. Sun Yu'e was in a bad mood these two days. She went to Linglong Courtyard to talk to her at noon. When she returned to Songhe Hall, she heard that the old lady had gone out. Where did my wife go!It's a pity that the two maids following the old lady are gone, otherwise she could ask someone.

"The old slave doesn't know where the old lady has gone." Han's mother smiled awkwardly, with a little embarrassment on her face.

"Mother Han," Zhao Jing's voice became a little louder, and her voice became hoarse due to illness, but it gave people a feeling of calmness and prestige. After hearing this, Mother Han thought she was going to make trouble. When the matter of Yin came up, he slid off the embroidered pier in fright, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Zhao Jing, trembling, and said, "This old slave is..."

Zhao Jing wanted to laugh when she saw her like this. This posture didn't look like domineering in front of her back then, but she was upset today, and she really didn't have the strength to let her go, so she sighed and said, "Mother Han, are you The big steward in this family, you should pay more attention to everything. Since you are the mother in charge of the old lady, don't always go to the big girl's room. The big girl is getting old now. Although people outside don't know it, but the house But the servants in the house know her identity in their hearts, there is a difference between a master and a servant, even if you are very close relatives, now she is also the granddaughter of the old lady, the adopted daughter of Lord Marquis, you should understand this truth yourself."

Zhao Jing didn't mean to belittle Sun Yu'e by saying this. There are a few phony phoenixes like her in the capital, but they are either shrinking their necks or marrying good people. It is somewhat of a blemish, if there are such a large group of poor relatives behind you, how can people treat you?
Han's mother didn't reply after being told, she lowered her head and didn't speak, but she still breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. At any rate, Zhao Jing hadn't mentioned the matter of Yueyin, and she was considered to have escaped. She will be back in two days, and after these two days, she still wants to live for a few more years.

"Old lady..." Only after Zhao Jing finished speaking, the old lady Xu standing at the door was stunned. Although she loved Sun Yu'e, she had never thought about it before. Often let Sun Yu'e get closer to Mama Sun, after all, they are the real grandparents.Now that I think about it, I am confused after all, even if Sun Yu'e can really marry a good family in the future, the other party will definitely only regard the Hou Mansion as Sun Yu'e's natal family, and those poor relatives will eventually stand aside.

"Mother Zhang, do you think I was really confused before?" The old lady was also a little confused at this time. She has been like this for decades, and she herself is a little confused.

"What did the old lady say? Old lady, you have a broad mind, so some things are easier to think about, and there is nothing to be confused about. Now that Mr. Zhao is here, old lady, you can rest assured that we will not be confused in the future." I can't." Mother Zhang sighed secretly, with Mother Sun brainwashing the old lady for decades, it was hard for her not to get confused, but fortunately now that Zhao Jing is here, the old lady's brain seems to be open. It's the same.

She stepped forward to help Mrs. Xu to the door, turned her head and glanced at Yuan Shi who was following behind, and said with a smile: "Little sister-in-law, hurry up, Miss Jing is inside!"

There are few servant girls in Ziwei Garden, Qing Dai didn't see the old lady until she was in front of the door, so she hurried out of the tea room, came to the door to open the curtain for the old lady, and said inside: "Sir, the old lady is here!"
