Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 19

Mrs. Xin didn't care about the undercurrents, and she didn't need to care about it when she was in her position.Ever since her son took over the title of Dingguo Duke, in Dingguogong's mansion, there has always been only others who please her and no one who pleases others.So Mrs. Xin focused on talking to Lin Yuhui!
"I heard that Sanlang started studying recently?" Mrs. Xin touched Lin Yuhui's fleshy face with a smile, and asked, "Are you tired?"

Lin Yuhui raised his head and blinked, "Not tired!"

At this moment, Mrs. Xin is like any grandmother who loves her grandson in the world, her eyes are indescribably kind, "Come and tell my old lady when you are tired, I will go and tell your father! You are still young, and you are the one who grows up." Don't try to be brave, otherwise, if there is something wrong with your body, it will be a lifetime thing!"

Lin Yuhui nodded obediently, "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson knows. My grandson is really not tired, but I think reading is very interesting!" Then he turned to care about Mrs. Xin, "It's you, old lady, you should take care of yourself. Take care of yourself, if you are too tired to worry about your grandson, then it is your grandson's fault!" In the end, he did not forget to build a good relationship with Lin Chengmao and Yang Shi, "If that is the case, father and aunt must worry to death, and then fight Where is the grandson's board!"

"Hit your board? I don't think who would dare?!" Mrs. Xin's face was slightly stiff when she heard this, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it was an act.Sure enough, the anger on Mrs. Xin's face quickly melted away like ice and snow. She turned her face and said to Mrs. Yang kindly, "You taught Sanlang very well!"

Mrs. Yang hurriedly said modestly, "The old lady is really flattering my concubine! Sanlang is able to be what he is today, it must be the result of the master being with him and teaching by example. Don't you know how much the concubine is capable, old lady? The concubine The ability is not all taught by you, the old lady, if Sanlang really learned something from this concubine, it will be due to you, the old lady in the final analysis!"

Mrs. Xin laughed very heartily upon hearing this.

Mrs. Yang's words really tickled Mrs. Xin's itch!Isn't Mrs. Xin's most important thing is Lin Chengmao's son?Mrs. Yang put the credit on Lin Chengmao, which made Mrs. Xin happier than anything else.At the same time, she secretly pointed out the relationship between her and Mrs. Xin, which caused Mrs. Xin to recall the days when Mrs. Yang was by her side. Finally, she saw that Lin Yuhui's cleverness was attributed to Mrs. Xin herself.

Li Shi and Chen Shi watched from the sidelines, feeling sour in their hearts.Standing together, these few people have become three generations of grandparents, and they have become redundant.Lin Yuhui was his own. Could it be that their children were all picked up? !Isn't this discriminatory treatment too obvious? !
As the two of them thought about it, some involuntary expressions appeared on their faces.

Mrs. Li held Lin Yuxian's hand tightly, causing Lin Yuxian to look up at Mrs. Li. Even at this time, Mrs. Li did not forget to pay attention to her daughter, and immediately noticed Lin Yuxian's strangeness, so she quickly relaxed her grip. Lin Yuxian Caifu lowered his head again.

Mrs. Chen looked at Lin Yuhui next to Madam Xin, then at Lin Yuchan and Lin Yuwan next to Mrs. Yang, and finally at Lin Yuwan next to Mrs. Li. She was so greedy that she was about to tear off the veil on her hand. Into rags.

Mrs. Xin is only over 50 years old this year, and her eyes are not yet blurred. Naturally, she can't see the faces of Li Shi and Chen Shi. Just as she was about to type a few more words, she heard a maid from outside announcing that Lu Shi and Lin Yuting had come.Mrs. Xin had no choice but to turn over this page first to let outsiders in, but only she knew if she had made a note of Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chen in her heart.

Wu's, Hu's, Zhang's, Jiang's, Liu's, these lowly concubines, and their children are not qualified to pay Mrs. Xin's greetings.In Madam Xin's own words, it is her plum courtyard, and not everyone can enter it.

Under such circumstances, it is more interesting that Mrs. Lu, as Mrs. Xin's serious daughter-in-law, came so late!

It's not a day or two since Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xin didn't deal with each other. The root cause may have started when Mrs. Lu just entered the house. If Mrs. Lu was pregnant later, Mrs. Xin would not be able to kill Mrs. Hu so simply. Shi and Wu pushed it out to embarrass their daughter-in-law.

And Mrs. Lu didn't have much respect for Mrs. Xin from the beginning.

Mrs. Xin's natal family is not prominent, but a partial general under the command of Lin Chengmao's grandfather, how can it be compared with the Changxinhou's mansion behind Lu's?If it wasn't for a coincidence, Mrs. Xin would not have been able to marry Duke Ding.Later, Mrs. Xin's father and brother died together on the battlefield, and she was even more alone.

How could Lu Shi, who was born as the first daughter of the Hou family, take such a mother-in-law into consideration?When he first entered the door, he maintained a bit of face. After the incident between Hu and Wu happened, Lu didn't even bother to do this.

Like today, being late to pay your respects is a trivial matter, and it's not like Lu Shi hasn't done anything more excessive.If it wasn't for her son's official career, Mrs. Xin would have pressured Lin Chengmao to divorce his wife.

"Mother!" Shih Lu called out dryly, and squatted down meaningfully, without waiting for Mrs. Xin to call out, she stood up by herself, and pulled Lin Yuting to the side.

Lin Yuting was naturally on the same side as her mother.Lin Yuting was innocent, but not stupid. Although Mrs. Xin loved her dearly, Lin Yuhui, her grandson, was the most important thing?Even the other granddaughters more or less occupy a place in Mrs. Xin's heart.But her mother, is thinking about her wholeheartedly, there is no one else in her eyes, who is close to whom, who should be helped and who should not be helped, isn't it clear at a glance?

The former Lin Yuting might not have thought of these things, but after talking with Lu Shi, she also noticed a lot of things that she never cared about before!

Seeing this, Mrs. Xin's complexion suddenly became ugly, and the most direct reaction was that the corners of her mouth that were originally raised suddenly pulled down, and her lips were pursed tightly.

However, Mrs. Lu didn't seem to see Mrs. Xin's anger, neither lowered her head to apologize, nor said a few words to ease the atmosphere.He just looked down at the tea bowl in front of him, as if he could stare at a flower.

But Lin Yuting was young after all, she seemed a little uneasy, she hesitated to speak a few times, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

Mrs. Xin couldn't help being even more angry, and she even got angry with Lin Yuting.

"Saburo's birthday is coming soon, what's Chengmao's rules?" Mrs. Xin was unhappy, so naturally she couldn't bear it, and immediately poked Lu Shi's sore foot.

Lin Yuhui's birthday is on the first day of November, and it won't be long.

But the key is not here, the key is Lin Yuting's birthday.Lin Yuting's birthday is October [-], which is earlier than Lin Yuhui's, but now Mrs. Xin skips Lin Yuting's birthday and only mentions Lin Yuhui's birthday. What does it mean? !

Sure enough, when Lu Shi heard this topic, his face immediately changed, and he gave Lin Yuhui a hard look.If Mrs. Xin had stabbed her a few words, Mrs. Lu probably pretended not to hear it, and just endured it.But with Lin Yuting as a raft, it's no wonder that Lu Shi is not furious!
Lin Yuhui didn't know if he was frightened by Lu Shi's eyes, and immediately shrank into Mrs. Xin's arms.

Although Mrs. Xin was talking to Mrs. Yang, her eyes never forgot to observe Mrs. Lu. How could she miss what happened just now?Hastily patted Lin Yuhui's back distressedly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with my old lady here, who dares to do anything to you?" As he said, he glanced at Lu Shi meaningfully.

Just as Lu Shi was about to reply, he heard Lin Chengmao's angry voice from outside.

"What's the matter?" Lin Chengmao walked in while talking, greeted Mrs. Xin, and then said with a smile, "What was the mother talking about just now?"

Mrs. Xin snorted softly, "What else could it be? Some people don't take my old lady seriously!"

After Lin Chengmao heard this, he didn't need to think about it to know that the Lu family had another moth.Immediately, she gave Lu Shi a fierce stare, and then comforted Mrs. Xin, "Mother, why should you be as knowledgeable as those people? If someone offends you, just deal with it! Just don't get angry and ruin your body." !"

Lin Chengmao also made Mrs. Xin and Mrs. Lu's sandwich biscuits in the early years. Naturally, he knew the holidays between the two. At the beginning, he wondered if he could reconcile one or two. Later, he found out that Mrs. Lu didn't care about Mrs. Xin at all. Respect, as well as her subsequent small actions, no longer stand out for her.It was only because of Lin Yuting's face that she maintained a superficial calm.

"If it wasn't for you, why would my old lady..." Mrs. Xin snorted again, before saying, "Sanlang's birthday is coming soon, what do you think?"

Lu Shi's face tightened when he heard this, and he stared at Lin Chengmao.

Seeing this, Li Shi and Chen Shi also turned their eyes away, and even Lin Yuxian, who was a junior, couldn't help but quietly raised her eyes.Although they didn't like Yang's either, but in comparison, they hoped that Lu's would be unlucky!Who told Mrs. Lu to do things too extreme?

On the other hand, Lin Yuhui, the person involved, Yang Shi, Lin Yuchan, and Lin Yuwan, seemed to be all right, and didn't respond at all, as if they were not what everyone was talking about.

"Mother, this...the situation outside has been a little tense recently, it's really not suitable..." Lin Chengmao frowned in embarrassment. It's not that he cares about Lu's feelings, but the situation in the court recently...

Mrs. Xin is not an unreasonable person. Compared with her grandson, her son is more important.Since her son is in trouble, she won't insist on it, but it's a pity that she can't add trouble to Mrs. Lu!

"That's it, that's all!" Mrs. Xin waved her hand in disappointment.

Lu Shi let out a sigh of relief.

As for Li Shi and Chen Shi, there was disappointment in the corners of their eyes and brows.

At this time, Yang smiled and said, "Sanlang is a child, what's so good about his birthday? But you, old lady, will have your 55th birthday in the spring, so you need to celebrate it!"

Mrs. Xin's birthday is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

Lin Chengmao looked at Yang with admiration, and then she said, "Young is right! Don't worry, mother, my son will help you celebrate!" Just because it is a festival, it will not attract attention.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lu snorted softly at Mrs. Yang.Now I will pretend to be a good person, why didn't I see you decline just now?
