The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 353 Thunder is God’s Punishment of Bad People (1)
The sky outside became darker and darker, and a thunder flashed across the sky, which made everyone standing there startled.

Mrs. Xu was still holding Mrs. He's slender fingers. Mrs. He looked at the old lady with some embarrassment, a smile appeared on her haggard and pale face, and she managed to raise her strength and said, "Since the old lady wants me to go over, Then tomorrow I will go to Hou Mansion to visit the old lady in person, but it's getting late today, and the old lady is still tired to make this trip."

Although Mrs. He has no support from her natal family, she still maintains the dignity of the main family in the He family these years, and she never loses face in front of others, so she persuaded Mrs. Xu in this way.

Mrs. Xu frowned when she heard this, she still took Mrs. He's hand and said, "It's better to hit the sun than to pick the sun. I'm here today, you just follow me..."

Mrs. Xu hadn't finished her words, but the old lady of the He family had already woken up a little bit. Seeing what Mrs. He said, she could only squeeze out a smile, and stepped forward and said, "Madam Hou, what's important, you must Do you want to let my daughter-in-law go here today? She also has a family, so she can't just leave like this?"

Seeing that the momentum was not good, Zhang's mother hurriedly smiled and said, "It's really because the second daughter of the Qi family is living in our house and misses her sister, so we came to pick up Mrs. He and stayed for a few days, but Mrs. He You misunderstood, there is nothing important, it's just that our old lady has always had such a hot temper."

After hearing this, Mrs. He smiled and said: "Since that's the case, then Mrs. Hou didn't have to come over in such a aggressive manner, but she made us look like she was robbing someone?"

Mrs. Xu thought about it, and thought that I was here to rob people, but I just said it bluntly, but it didn't make sense, so she stood there quietly and didn't speak, but fortunately, Mama Zhang helped to speak He said: "Look at what Mrs. He said, although Mrs. He was a subordinate of our old Houye back then, our Houfu has never done anything to suppress people with power. Now the old lady has come to invite Mrs. He to come over in person, why? Instead, it was said to be robbed? Could it be that the lintel of the He family is only worthy of the Hou Mansion sending a slave like me over?"

Mrs. Xu also nodded vigorously after hearing this, and seeing that Mrs. He was not easy to deal with, she smiled and said to Master He: "Master He, your daughter-in-law here, I will borrow it for a few days at the Hou's Mansion, after a few days Come back again."

Over there, Master He knew that Xu Si'an was a filial person, so whenever Mrs. Xu did something, I'm afraid Xu Si'an would not take it to heart at all.Besides, his son just took over the task of transporting grain and grass to the south, so he naturally didn't dare to offend Xu Si'an, so he turned to Mrs. He and said, "Since Mrs. Hou asked you to go there, then you can go."

Mrs. Xu immediately beamed with joy when she heard this, Madam He over there was a bit troubled, she just blessed the old lady and said, "Of course I have to go when the old lady invites me like this, but today It's inconvenient after all."

Mrs. He was already weak, and after being out for so long, she couldn't hold on any longer. A servant girl came to support her long ago, so she continued with some difficulty: "Since the master has ordered you, the old lady doesn't have to be afraid of me tomorrow." But go, I'll pack my luggage when I get back, and I'll go to the Hou's Mansion to stay for a few days tomorrow, and then please don't dislike me and make excuses."

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew through, and the lightning and thunder became more and more violent, blowing the horn lamps in front of He's house to rattle.Zhang's mother took a look at the sky, thought for a while and persuaded Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, since the lady said that she will go to the house tomorrow, then we are not in a hurry."

Mrs. Xu turned her head and glanced at Mrs. He, and finally sighed in her heart. She thought of her daughter Xu Siping's arrival that day, and she felt a little sad, so she patted the back of her hand and said, "Then tomorrow morning, I'll send someone over to pick you up!"

Mrs. He smiled and said yes, and with the support of two maids, she sent Mrs. Xu out.

The carriage had just set off when Dou Da's raindrops slammed down.

Zhao Jing was waiting for Mrs. Xu to come back in Songhetang. At this time, Qi Xinrui had also come to Songhetang. Thinking of seeing Mrs. He in a while, Qi Xinrui tightened the handkerchief nervously.Zhao Jing stretched out her hand and patted her palm, and comforted her calmly: "It's okay, the old lady is here."

Qi Xinrui nodded, suddenly a flash of light flashed in front of her eyes, and a loud thunder came down, covering her ears in fright, Zhao Jing reflexively hugged Qi Xinrui in her arms, and stretched out her hands to cover her ears.

After a while, it began to rain heavily outside, Zhao Jing was afraid that the old lady would be drenched, so she ordered the maids and women in Songhe Hall to welcome them out with umbrellas, and the room seemed a little deserted for a while.
