The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 352 Confrontation (2)
After hearing this, the man only replied: "Madam, please wait for a moment, the slave will go in and return to the steward."

At this time, the old lady Xu had already got off the carriage, and Zhang's mother hurriedly stepped forward to support her. The old lady looked around the He mansion, seeing that it was not a big family, she felt relieved anyway.

Mother Zhang smiled and said: "Old lady, logically, this master of the He family was originally a subordinate of our old Lord Hou. It's just that the old lady doesn't socialize very much. She probably forgot. It's a gift."

Mrs. Xu didn't remember these things, but she nodded.After a while, I heard noisy footsteps coming from the gate. Mother Zhang helped the old lady Xu to go forward, and saw the gate of the He family opened wide with a creak.Inside, Mr. He took the lead and led a group of female family members who were densely packed, all of them came to the door.

Although the old lady came prepared, she was taken aback by the battle, and looked at Zhang's mother with some doubts in her heart.Fortunately, Ms. Zhang still looked calm and relaxed. When Mrs. Xu saw her, she also took a deep breath and waited for the group of people to come to meet her.

"Lao Madam Hou made a personal visit, and I was greeted far away, and I was greeted far away!" Although Mrs. He didn't know why Mrs. Xu came to their house at night, when he thought that Xu Si'an was now in charge of the Gyeonggi Camp, and was in charge of the Ministry of War. He is an out-and-out boss, and he must treat each other with courtesy.

Mrs. Xu didn't know such polite words, but she couldn't say a word after being greeted by Mr. He. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. He is so polite, so warm welcome, Our old lady came here today because she wanted to invite Mrs. He to stay in our Hou Mansion for two days, I wonder if Mrs. He would be convenient?"

Ms. Zhang glanced at the crowd, but she didn't find Mrs. He's figure, probably because she was ill and hadn't come out to greet her.Mrs. He over there was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he glanced at Mrs. He at the side.

Mrs. He is about the same age as Mrs. Xu, with a skinny figure, and she looks a bit mean. When she saw Mrs. He looking at her, she hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law has not been in a good health for the past few days, and now I can't get up anymore." Come to bed, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go to your Marquis Mansion."

Mrs. Xu felt harsh when she heard these words, and when she raised her head, she saw several women behind Mrs. He, all of them were dressed like flowers and jade, and they were holding their babies by her side. .The old lady's heart felt as if she had been stabbed with a knife, she couldn't help but said: "It doesn't matter if you are not well, we have good doctors and good medicine in Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, it's better than staying here, Zhang Mom, take your maid to invite Mrs. He out."

Seeing that the old lady became stiff, Madam Zhang naturally did not dare to take away her prestige, she just nodded in agreement, and then said to Mr. He: "Master He, our old lady just invited Mrs. He to stay at the mansion for a few days. , there is no disrespect in the slightest, and please forgive me for your convenience."

The old lady He who was at the side became a little scared when she saw this situation. What happened today was too strange. At noon, the imperial doctor came to see Mrs. He with an imperial order. She had been worried for half a day.Fortunately, the little maid in Mrs. He's room came back and said that Doctor Du didn't see anything strange, but just changed the pharmacy again, and told her to take care of it with peace of mind.She only thought that this matter was over, and if it was delayed for another month or two, it would be almost time for the child to fall to the ground.Even if that person died at that time, no one suspected that he had gone elsewhere. Women who gave birth to a child and died were rare.

"Lao Madam Hou is like this, isn't it difficult for others? My daughter-in-law is now six months pregnant. If something goes wrong in the Hou's mansion, who will our He family talk to in the future?"

Mrs. Xu has not been angry for a long time, but today she was really annoyed by the behavior of the He family, and she said indiscriminately: "Look at you, Sun Mantang, who knows that you still don't care about Mrs. He?" The child in the womb."

She said this bluntly, and Mrs. He's face couldn't help but get a little more ugly.There is a stalemate here, who knows that Mrs. He heard that Mrs. Xu is coming, and thought that Qi Xinrui had something to do in Xu's house, so she came out with her sick body in her arms.

Seeing Mrs. Xu's appearance, Mrs. Xu was surprised and said: "My dear girl, why are you so thin? Doesn't their family give you food? Or just give you poison to make you look like this? "

Mrs. He didn't know the deep meaning of these words, but she was a little embarrassed, she just coughed twice and said: "The old lady was joking, it's because I have been ill and haven't recovered. Thanks to Mrs. Hou, I invited Imperial Physician Du to check my pulse. After applying the medicine, I already feel much lighter in my body.”

The old Mrs. He at the side broke out in a cold sweat when she heard this, and she couldn't say a word that she was planning to quibble.

Seeing that Mrs. He was still in the dark, Mrs. Xu finally felt a little distressed. She stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Let's go... let's go to the Hou's Mansion, and I will let the imperial doctor take care of you."
