Chapter 176 Grace
Sending Aunt Tao away was nothing more than fearing that her previous unreasonable thoughts would not disappear, but would become more intense because of Sheng Leyu's departure.

Losing one thing requires gaining another, and the soul can be compensated.

Dong Yuan understood what Sheng Xiuyi meant.

"What would Mother think?" Dong Yuan asked Sheng Xiuyi, "Others may not know why Aunt Tao went out, but Mother knows it all. Now Brother Yu... Mother must not be able to bear it. Send Aunt Tao away again , you can’t hide it from your mother, can you?”

Sheng Xiuyi was silent for a moment.

He said: "Mother has not been in good health recently, so don't tell her first..."

"No!" Dong Yuan got up from his arms and half sat up, "I'm the only one in charge, so you want me to hide it from my mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Sheng has always been kind and kind.

But if someone deliberately provokes, it will also leave a knot in Mrs. Sheng's heart, right?There are some things Mrs. Sheng may not want to know.She is willing to pretend to be deaf and dumb because she is considerate of the junior, because she is kind and generous; but the junior deliberately deceives her, which is disrespectful to her.

What would the mother-in-law think of Dong Yuan when she just got the butler's pair and started to hide it?
Do you feel that Dong Yuan's filial piety and gentleness in the past were just pretending?After getting the chance to be a housekeeper, you start to show your true colors?

Hearing Dong Yuan's words, Sheng Xiuyi hesitated for a moment.

"I'll handle this matter, you just don't know." Sheng Xiuyi thought for a long time and said, "Mother, let me go and talk. It's not right to leave her in the mansion..."

Dong Yuan smiled helplessly: "At the beginning when you sent Aunt Tao out, Mother thought I didn't know about it. It seems like this is the only way to go."

On the next day at Maozheng, Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi went to Yuanyang Pavilion to greet Mrs. Sheng.

Before Mrs. Sheng got up, Sheng Changhou went to the outer study.

Dong Yuan and his wife entered Mrs. Sheng's inner room.

Mrs. Sheng also woke up, half-sitting on the bed, reclining on a large dark green pillow, with embroidered crabapple branches embroidered around her head to cover her eyebrows, and wearing a lotus-colored summer shirt.

Mother Kang sat opposite and fed bird's nest porridge to Mrs. Sheng.

"Mother, did you sleep well last night?" Dong Yuan stepped forward, took the porridge bowl from Kang's mother, and fed Mrs. Sheng the porridge with a white lacquer and gold spoon.

Mrs. Sheng smiled slightly: "It's better than the previous few days. I woke up once in the middle of the night, and fell asleep again when the cock crowed."

"You look better than yesterday." Dong Yuan smiled, "Mom, what do you want for lunch? I asked the kitchen to prepare early."

Madam Sheng laughed, "We're having breakfast now."

Everyone also laughed.

After eating porridge and talking, the cicadas outside became louder and louder, and the sun shone through the carved window lattice and cast on the big kang in the room by the window, shining brightly on the golden thread on the silver-red pillow.

Mother Kang was afraid that the house would be hot later, so she put up a curtain to block the windows, and the light in the house would be much dimmer.But it also feels a lot cooler.

"Mother, I have something to tell you..." Sheng Xiuyi sat on the brocade tree beside him, and took a while to speak.

Mrs. Sheng asked him what was the matter.

He glanced at Dong Yuan and remained silent.

Dong Yuan got up, took Kang's mother and all the servants out of the room, and gently put down the curtains.

"Mother, I went to Tao's courtyard yesterday..." Sheng Xiuyi's voice was a little low, "She's not very well, she's very haggard..."

Mrs. Sheng's heart twitched.

She thought of Sheng Leyu, she couldn't help tears, and said: "Once she was pregnant and gave birth in Shiyue, watching the child grow up day by day, her heart might be crushed, why not be sad?"

"She kept saying that Brother Yu used to come to her house, and he liked to sit on the big kang by the window. He sweetly called her aunt and asked her to make beautiful shoes and socks for Brother Yu..." Sheng Xiuyi continued. , the sadness could not be concealed in the voice, "Brother Yu used to go to the yard where she lived, and every time she saw things and thought about people, she seemed to be living in a dream."

Madam Sheng burst into tears.

She sympathized with Aunt Tao, and felt that she felt the same way.Empathy, naturally more understand this pain.

"Mother, brother Yu has always been filial to you. Now that he's gone, we can't treat Tao badly in our house..." Sheng Xiuyi glanced at Mrs. Sheng, "She is also suffering in the house. If it goes on for a long time, I'm afraid she In a trance, it is difficult to accumulate blessings..."

Madam Sheng wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and looked up at Sheng Xiuyi.

The son's face was very thin, but his eyes were still so deep and bright.

"For the sake of her giving birth to brother Yu, send her out." Sheng Xiuyi sighed, "Our mansion has a farm in Henan, choose a quiet place near mountains and rivers, and let her rest for a while. It's not good for her to always look at things and think about people in the mansion. It's better to go out and change places than to stay at home and think about it."

Mrs. Sheng listened and nodded slightly.

"But she's just an aunt..." Mrs. Sheng's eyes were filled with moisture, and after thinking about it, she felt a little embarrassed, "Ah Yuan is a kind child, she never sets rules for the aunts, and the aunts don't have to be around every day. She served in front of her. But after all, Tao is just an aunt, and she went out to recuperate, would Ah Yuan feel that you favored her too much? Brother Yu is gone, but the status of wives and concubines in the family cannot be discarded..."

It means that my aunt is not qualified to go out to rest.

Ah Yuan's mistress was still in the mansion, but she sent an aunt out to enjoy the blessings. This way she favored her aunt too much, even surpassing her first wife.

Still worried that Dong Yuan would think too much.

Sheng Xiuyi had a clue in his heart, and said: "Mother also said that Ah Yuan is a kind person. She also feels bad when Brother Yu is gone. She also said yesterday that she also said that mothers don't understand Tao's injury." Pain? Don't worry, mother, Ah Yuan still understands this point, and won't get angry with Tao for no reason."

Only then did Madam Sheng heave a sigh of relief, and said: "Since this is the case, you have to discuss it with Ah Yuan before sending Tao Shi out. Don't hide it from your wife. Between husband and wife, the most taboo is not being honest with each other."

Sheng Xiuyi nodded.

My mother is extremely protective of Dong Yuan.

"You called Ah Yuan to come in." Madam Sheng said again, "You said it in front of me. If you talk about it after the fact, how can Ah Yuan save face?"

Sheng Xiuyi called Dong Yuan in.

In front of Mrs. Sheng, he said what he just said.

Dong Yuan couldn't help but admire Sheng Xiuyi's ability to speak.

He didn't say in front of Mrs. Sheng that Tao Shi might cause trouble, making the house restless and making it difficult for Dong Yuan; instead, he said that he would give Tao Shi grace and send her to rest.

There is a huge difference.

The former is for Dongyuan and Sheng's family, although Aunt Tao's going to Zhuangzi is not necessarily a bad thing, but it sounds like she is driving her away for the sake of the Sheng family; the latter is for Aunt Tao's consideration, even surpassing the wife, let her go to enjoy the blessings .

Obviously to achieve the same purpose, different ways of expression will make things more effective.

Dong Yuan glanced at Sheng Xiuyi in surprise.

But Mrs. Sheng misunderstood Dong Yuan's surprise, she thought Dong Yuan was dissatisfied.She was a little weak, and said softly to Dong Yuan: "Ah Yuan, when she gets better, she will still come back to serve you. Now that she is like this, give her a favor, others will not say that our family has no dignity, they will only say that our family Kuanhe. Think carefully about your mother's words."

Dong Yuan couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he was also very moved.

Mrs. Sheng thinks a lot about her all the time.

She hurriedly said: "Mother, does my family have a good farm in Henan? There are several farms in Henan that I married as a dowry. If it is inconvenient for the family, it's okay to give one of my farm to Aunt Tao."

"No, there is a very good Zhuangzi at home." Sheng Xiuyi interjected, and then bid farewell to Mrs. Sheng, saying that he was going to handle this matter, and told Dong Yuan, "You take good care of your mother."

Dong Yuan said yes.

Sheng Xiuyi went to the outer court to arrange the matter properly.

At the end of the afternoon, it was supposed to be scorching hot, but there were dark clouds blocking the blue sky, and the clouds were frighteningly low.In the sky, the golden light of the sun passed through the clouds, ready to cover the earth, but was swept away by the rolling thunder.

It's going to rain heavily outside.

Standing at the gate, Sheng Xiuyi watched the driver put the raincloth on the carriage, and heard Aunt Tao's unwilling crying and begging for mercy, his heart felt a little depressed.

Aunt Tao didn't want to leave the house.

Why not?He no longer has any love for her, and Brother Yu is no longer in the mansion. Wouldn't it be sad for her to stay here?

But she doesn't want to go.

She said: "My lord, don't chase this concubine away. The concubine will definitely listen to grandma and not cry until she is upset. The concubine will never dare again, my lord..."

Never dare again....
dare not what?Don't dare to have unreasonable thoughts?

He heaved a long sigh.

The carriage was covered with raincloth, and Sheng Xiuyi bid farewell to the handlebars, He Xiang also bowed his knees to salute Sheng Xiuyi, and then boarded another carriage.

A carriage with a sliding cover and feather tassels, and two large carriages with green curtains, slowly drove out from the gate of Sheng's house, farther and farther away, dusty.

Sheng Xiuyi stood at the gate, until big raindrops fell and hit his face, then he came back to his senses, and went into the gatehouse next to the gate of Sheng's house to hide from the rain.

A burst of sudden torrential rain created a veil of fog on the ground.

Until the rain stopped, the air was mixed with the fragrance of earth.The intense heat of the past few days has also eased a lot, Sheng Xiuyi's heart is like a leaf washed by rain, relaxed and full of vitality.

He went to his father's outer study.

The heavy rain brought coolness, but also brought visitors.

Dong Yuan ate lunch at Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion, served Mrs. Sheng to take her nap, and squinted on the big kang by the window in the inner room for a while.At the beginning of Shen, I was woken up by the chiming bell outside.

The maids helped her to wash and wash. Just as she combed her hair, a little maid came in and said, "Mrs. Yanxihou came to see my wife and grandma."

Madam Yanxi Hou....
Dong Yuan was stunned for a moment, then remembered that her uncle, the empress's biological father, was granted the title of Marquis, as if he was Marquis of Yanxi.

The eldest aunt came to see her?
She rushed out to greet her, and went to the Chuihua Gate of Sheng Mansion in a small green curtain oil truck.

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Rong of the Xue family who came.Now she is no longer a third-rank lady, but a first-rank lady.

Dong Yuan hurriedly greeted her: "Auntie, why did you come in person on such a hot day? If you have anything to say, let the servants pass on..."

Mrs. Xue's Mrs. Rong said with a chuckle: "Didn't it just rain? I saw the rare coolness, so I came to see you." Then her eyes darkened, she took Dong Yuan's hand, and said distressedly, "You've lost weight. a lot of."

Uh, I'm not in a good mood, I'm sorry for being self-willed... In fact, I have been thinking about a very deep question these two days: should I continue to code and become an online writer, or should I sell sliced ​​cakes?
