The woman's heart suddenly skipped a beat when she heard this, but she heard Mrs. He behind her say: "I think it's a big deal, it turned out to be this, I'll go over and have a look."

The wind and rain were still raging outside, Mrs. He led a few maidservants to the ancestral hall, but the woman felt a little uneasy in her heart, and followed closely behind Mrs. He, the two walked a few steps away, Mrs. He just stopped, turned around and said, "I don't need you here anymore. You can go to Xikuayuan to take a look. Your wife is not in good health. The thunder is so loud, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well, so let her It’s safe to drink the medicine.”

While speaking, she stretched out her hand and patted the back of the woman's hand, a stern look flashed in her eyes, and she continued: "You are a concubine, so you should serve in her room."

Mrs. He is sick now, and her sleep is indeed much shallower. As soon as the water came out outside, she woke up again due to such a big movement. Fortunately, Mother Shi did not go away. Seeing the little maids talking about the water in the ancestral hall, she followed the cold He snorted and said: "The juniors don't accumulate virtue, and the ancestors suffer, otherwise why would the place be burned for no reason."

Mrs. He was afraid that the wall had ears, so she forced a smile and said, "It's good for you to talk about it with me, but you can't say that when you go out, it's not good for people to hear it."

Although Mother Shi nodded, she was a little bit dissatisfied, she just said: "So what if people hear it, anyway, I am your servant who came here as a dowry, and it's not their turn to take care of it."
