Foster son and husband

Chapter 39
Qiao's mother came out of Ziyun Hall, with her head down, without looking at the people around her, she hurriedly turned out of the courtyard gate, turned left and right, walked through the small garden, rockery stone forest, Jiuqu bridge, and entered the long folding corridor , then looked up and looked around, and went straight to Huifang Courtyard where the second grandmother Bai Jingyu lived.

In the room in Huifang Courtyard, Bai Jingyu was leaning on the couch, wearing a scarlet soft satin embroidered peony flower padded gown, which still couldn't hide her pale and bluish complexion, and a fluffy gem-studded rabbit fur forehead covering half of her forehead, Wrapped in a bun, it shows her weakness even more. If it weren't for those dark eyes that radiate a sharp light that can kill people at this time, showing her strength, this image is probably the same as Qin Meiniang's haggardness in the previous illness. It's no different.

Standing in front of the couch were her big girls, Xiangyun wanted to feed her porridge, but she pushed him away, pointed at Xiangrui who was standing far behind with her snow-white finger, and said harshly: " Let her come! I want to see how capable this bitch is! I have been with me for more than ten years, but I didn't know that she is so good at serving people. She is like this, and she can still fascinate the master. She doesn't even want Xiangxue!"

Xianglian stared at Xiangrui who had changed face: "Can't you hear what Grandma said? Come here!"

With tears in her eyes, Xiangrui held her swollen waist with one hand, staggered to the couch with her protruding belly, but before she could stand still, Bai Jingyu dragged her hand and pulled out the golden hairpin from her head, without thinking He stabbed her hands and stomach hard, gritted his teeth and cursed:
"Unconscionable bastard! It's in vain for me to treat you like I usually do. I just ask you to serve my master for me. How dare you secretly not take medicine, and you didn't tell me when you were pregnant. You ran to your wife to ask for credit, and my wife said that you combed well. You have a good bun, and I asked you to go, but I was still in the dark... You are capable, you are really promising, my wife protects you, right? How are you now? Haven't you fallen back into my hands? Madam Chenshi Went to the Gui Mansion, I won’t be able to come back before dinner—you yell, yell, let’s see if I don’t strangle you bitch and the evil seed in your stomach today!”

Xiangrui protected her stomach with one hand, and several blood marks were pierced on the back of her plump and delicate hand. She screamed in pain, she knelt down in tears, and cried out:

"Grandma, please forgive me! It's not because I don't want to take the medicine, but because I accidentally spilled the medicine. I thought it wouldn't happen...I dare not say it, because I'm afraid of miscarriage... Last year, Chun'er and Chun'er died because of this. !"

"Are you afraid of death?" Tired, Bai Jingyu threw away the golden hairpin in his hand, and pointed to Xiangxue who shrank aside with a pale face:

"Give me a slap, first slap her a few ears, and then use a cloth towel to strangle her stomach, a poor life, should have died long ago!"

Xiangxue hesitated, but Bai Jingyu stared fiercely at her with dark eyes: "Don't do anything, what are you waiting for?"

Bai Jingyu's nanny Huang Mama came in with a bowl of steaming soup, and was taken aback when she saw this scene: "What did you say? Xiangrui is seeing the end of the day. If there is any mistake at this time, where is the wife and the second master?" I'm afraid..."

Bai Jingyu glanced at Huang's mother: "What is mother afraid of? This bitch is my dowry girl, but he didn't buy it with Xu's money! You don't need to discuss with them about how to deal with it. Be smart, the wife just said that Xiangrui wants to The people in this yard, who walked back to have a look, accidentally fell into the goldfish pond and drowned!"

Xiangrui was so frightened that she collapsed into a ball, holding her belly, knelt down on the ground and wept bitterly.

Huang's mother handed over the soup and medicine: "Grandma took the medicine first, and it's not too late to deal with her!"

Bai Jingyu turned her head: "Take it away, take it away! I don't want to eat this bitter and smelly soup again..."

Xiangrui suddenly stopped crying, raised her head, and her eyes were shining with hope: "Grandma should take the medicine, she'll get better, and the wife will have nothing to say... If the medicine is too bitter and you don't want to take it, there is a way." I can take good care of my body!"

Bai Jingyu stared at Xiangrui: "Bitch, what do you know?"

Xiangrui kowtowed to Bai Jingyu, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma has poor servant girl, servant girl is not as good as the dust on grandma's shoe soles! This servant girl only wants to give birth to the child in her womb, and when the time comes, she will die or live, and let grandma handle it!"

Bai Jingyu sneered: "You still dare to bargain with me? Okay, tell me, is it worth your life!"

Xiangrui just lowered her head and said nothing, Bai Jingyu grabbed a teacup on the low table and was about to throw it at her, but Xianglian quickly caught it and persuaded:

"Grandma, don't be confused by this little hoof, this old fine porcelain is my favorite—let's see what she wants to say!"

Bai Jingyu let out a sigh of relief: "Okay, let me spare you today, and let Mama Huang take you back to the wife's courtyard in a while, let's talk!"

Xiangrui kowtowed again, and then said slowly: "The servant overheard the gossip about the pearl and jade pendant in front of the wife yesterday. They said...the wife found a woman from a good family for the third master to be a good concubine. It can be regarded as a scholarly family, but it has declined in recent years. My wife has seen the girl in person, and she got everything back. The third master also agreed to accept it. But for some reason, the third master rushed to talk to her before dinner yesterday. The wife said: The third grandma has found a good prescription, and there will be news within a month or two. He doesn't want a concubine anymore! My wife talked about it, but the third master didn't let go. The wife was so angry that she dropped the tea bowl. : I really can't bear to part with such a good girl, and I didn't tell her which master I want to give it to. The third master has a stubborn temper, so if you don't want it, you don't want it. Now the second grandma is sick again, why don't you ask for it and give it to the second master..."

Bai Jingyu's chest rose and fell sharply, and two blushes appeared on her pale face, but it was a symptom of mixed hatred and anger, and her blood was surging. Mama Huang and Xiangxue hurriedly helped her along her chest, comforted her softly, and cursed at Xiangrui:

"Scumbag, if you dare to gossip, I will have your tongue cut off!"

Xiangrui lowered her head: "The maidservant is also the girl in this room. My mother taught me since I was a child, but how dare you not listen carefully to everything about grandma? You didn't tell a lie!"

Bai Jingyu pointed at Xiangrui: "I mean what I say, let you go back to the wife's courtyard, don't you forget that you are mine, when will I want your life? Keep an eye on me, and if you say this again, immediately Send me word! Get up and get out!"

Xiangrui kowtowed twice, put one hand on the ground and the other on her belly, and struggled to get up.

Ms. Huang glanced at Xiangxue. Xiangxue went to the door and opened the curtain. Xiangrui lowered her head and was about to leave when Bai Jingyu called her:

"You said, without taking medicine, what else can you do to take care of your body?"

Xiangrui paused, and said timidly: "Grandma can go to the third grandma's yard and ask, she should have really got a good prescription, and now she is fine, and goes to Ziyun Hall every day to help grandma deal with it." business!"

Bai Jingyu nodded her head, squinted her eyes to look at Xiangrui: "Good girl, you..."

There was a message from the mother-in-law outside the door: "Mother Qiao is here to call grandma!"

Bai Jingyu hurriedly said to Huang's mother: "I'm waiting for her, let her in quickly!"

While sitting upright with Xiangyun's help, and let Xianglian stuff a cushion behind her back, Xiangyun took the opportunity to look at the door, and Xiangrui was nowhere to be seen, she snorted:
"It's too cheap for this little hoof, it runs so fast! Grandma is really easy to talk to, so let her go!"

Bai Jingyu lightly flicked off a speck of dust on her sleeve, and sighed slightly: "Just to scare her, could it be that she really strangled her? She can't die here if she dies. If she doesn't pollute the ground, she can't die. It’s not that my wife and father are looking for me. My wife never likes Aunt Yan, but the fifth master born by Aunt Yan has a son and grandson first. The master loves his grandson, and he runs to Aunt Yan’s yard every three days, treating Brother Shen as his wife The grandson looks at it, the wife's illness in the past two years is because of this! Eat fast and recite the Buddha, and dream that our father and the third master will have a grandson, but my stomach is not up to date, and there is no news after giving birth to my sister... Let's see what Xiangrui can produce. If it's a boy, I'm destined to be childless, and it's still useful. But if I have one or two sons, men and women born from different branches, no matter how many, none of them will live. !"

Xiangxue lifted up the thick velvet blanket on Bai Jingyu's lap, her hands froze slightly, carefully tucked the velvet blanket for her, and quietly stepped back and stood aside.

Mama Huang led Mama Qiao in, and gave Bai Jingyu a deep blessing: "Second Grandma!"

Bai Jingyu looked at Qiao's mother: "How is it? Is there nothing wrong?"

Qiao's mother sighed: "Obviously it's already taken care of, and the more than 20 servants have confessed to each of them, and promised benefits, but the grandma didn't call me in the morning to ask, and I don't know which damned rotten person it is. Let the old lady know about this!"

"what?"

Bai Jingyu was stunned: "Who could it be?"

Qiao's mother said anxiously: "Grandma actually knew about the increase in manpower in the garment workshop! We only smoked people in the second house and each courtyard, and didn't move the people in their long house... Could it be that the third grandma told her? Three Grandma is turning her elbows out now, and it doesn't matter that I am the person in front of my wife, helping the grandma to reprimand me... It's not a small matter to lose face, but the grandma is very shrewd and ruthless. If any messy things come to her, The head and the tail will be separated soon, just for fear that she will find out about our garment workshop!"

Bai Jingyu pursed her lips tightly, with a look of resentment on her face: "Ru Lan really doesn't know what to do, she is a good lady, and she wants to mix with that woman from a small family. She doesn't mind losing price, and I will embarrass her! "

Qiao's mother hurriedly turned her head to look at the door, and stepped forward to say to Bai Jingyu, "Grandma, keep your voice down! Now the grandma is different from before, she is very obedient, her words and demeanor are elegant and generous, and her pink face is not bad. Smile not angry, sit in Ziyun Hall, women dare not show their air, that aura, that aura... Grandma didn't see that she is as majestic as the eldest wife!"

Bai Jingyu snorted: "Prestige? That is, when you see the eldest wife supporting her, you are afraid of her going. If you live in a poor and shabby house, if you want to climb high branches because of your good looks, you have to look at the growths on your body. A few catties of meat! What kind of grandson and bride, the elders are not allowed to offer tea when entering the door, and the yuan handkerchief is only released on the second night of the bridal chamber. Can you get a good one? A lifetime of desperation! I hate to see her poor back, unable to walk Dare to look up, dodge people, like a mouse crossing the street, early in the morning and saw that her work was not going well all day... But a brother Heng was born, the eldest wife lost Qiye, take brother Heng away, and the house is full Who in the movie doesn't understand her thoughts? Let's just watch, the fun is coming, the old lady is here, she said earlier: I will always find another main room for the uncle with a noble family background. When Miss Zhuang comes up, she will Can there be a seat for Qin Meiniang? It would be good to raise her in another courtyard. The old lady and the eldest lady, there are arguments between the two, we just keep our own and take our time..."

"But now..."

"Don't be afraid!" Bai Jingyu comforted Qiao's mother: "Try to make them catch up with work, and I will ask Liu's mother to bring a few people to help, and they will always be able to get out-the twenty embroiderers will have to hold the lamps tonight before returning. The work has to be done in the afternoon, and I bought the favor of Mrs. Dingguo, otherwise we will not receive such a large number of jobs in the future. You are still the same as usual, you just need to hold on to your face. Things in the garment workshop, Never mind, I'm here!"

Qiao's mother was worried: "Grandma sees this, do you want to reply to the second wife?"
