Rebirth of the concubine's scheming

Chapter 40

Yin Huan didn't sleep well that night. Many familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared in the dream, looking at her in unison. Countless mouths kept talking. She couldn't hear anything clearly, but how could she cover it? It's useless to close your ears, and there are people from the former general's mansion among them. Everyone looks at her mockingly, and everyone even keeps grabbing the clothes on her body. She keeps retreating, and they keep approaching. It was a thorny thorny place, and her hands were covered with blood.

Seeing that there was no retreat, and there was a cliff behind them, they suddenly stopped moving, and they all retreated. Gu Yinshuang's figure suddenly appeared, she looked down at Yin Huan from a high position, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was so familiar that it hurt her eyes, Yin Huan saw the opening of her mouth, but didn't know what she said, just like when he saw Gu Yinshuang on the opposite pavilion on the rockery, he couldn't hear what she said.

Yin Huan watched her walk towards him, but he couldn't move. Gu Yinshuang smiled wildly, without his usual gentle appearance, and his face was full of ferociousness. She pushed herself hard, Yin Huan felt She floated up, lost her center of gravity, and then kept sinking, with only patches of clouds and mist flashing in front of her eyes, she couldn't catch anything, she didn't want to die, she couldn't die!
"Miss, wake up, wake up quickly." Suddenly a familiar voice came from beside my ear.

"Ah~~" Yin Huan suddenly opened his eyes, lying on the bed sweating profusely, in front of Qing Ya's worried face, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Yin Huan swallowed with difficulty, wiped the sweat off his face with trembling hands, panting continuously.

This dream is so real.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare?" Qing Ya wrung out the brocade cloth and wiped her sweat, even her back was wet, the room was not very warm, how could it be so hot.

It took a long time for Yin Huan to regain his composure, and turned to look at the window. It was already dawn, "How is mother?"

"The madam's fever has subsided, she should wake up soon." Qing Ya helped her up, and Yin Huan leaned against her arms, still terrified.

Early in the morning, there was still a mother in charge who came to ask questions, and they all went to the inner room in a picturesque manner. Yin Huan solved what he could solve, and put it aside for the time being. No one in the mansion saw the eldest lady all day yesterday. , Even the wind and cold would find it strange, and the airtight defenses of the Bauhinia Court could not find anything. The low-level people even guessed whether the wife also had an infectious disease.

In Mrs. Gu's courtyard, Gu Yuzhi and his second wife Yan were sitting there, talking about this moment.

"Mother, since my sister-in-law is not feeling well, let Ah Hui take care of all the affairs of the family. Ah Hui has been married for so many years, and you, my mother, have noticed it. It is also feasible for her to take care of my sister-in-law." Gu Uji asked Mrs. Gu to speak and give his wife the head of the Gu family to manage Gu's mansion for his sick sister-in-law.

"Yes, mother, when the time comes when my sister-in-law recovers, I'll just return it to her. Now that she's so tired, won't she get better, and then the Mu family will say that it's our fault again." Old Mrs. Gu The man glanced at Yan Shi, and said in a blunt tone, "What can the Mu family say about us, Wan Ting is the daughter-in-law of the Gu family!"

Mrs. Yan lowered her head mutteringly, and Gu Yuzhi continued, "Mother, I actually wanted to say it a long time ago. The eldest brother is gone. It is true that the Gu family owes the elder sister-in-law, but after all, her surname is Mu but not Gu, and she did not give birth to a child. One son and a half daughter, it's hard to say, in the future, when the elder sister-in-law leaves, who will the family be handed over to, or Yixin's daughter-in-law? Yes, how will this look at our Gu family."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister-in-law has worked so hard for the Gu family for so many years, how can you say a few words that the whole family can't handle?" Mrs. Gu scolded.

"Mother, I'm not talking about taking away my sister-in-law's housekeeping right now. Isn't my sister-in-law sick? If she can't take it anymore, she will share the housekeeping power with Ah Hui separately. This will also reduce the burden on my sister-in-law. If you say it out, why is the Gu family not in charge of Mrs. Gu Guogong? What do people think? Yinyue still wants to discuss marriage with the Peng family, what will the Peng family think?" Gu Yuzhi said clearly, and when Mrs. Gu heard the words Peng It was the family discussion that really shook things up.

She doesn't know what kind of person the second daughter-in-law is. She can take care of the second son. If the whole Gu family is handed over to her, wouldn't it be a mess? But what the son said is not unreasonable. In the future, the family will still be handed over For the eldest granddaughter-in-law.

"Mother, do you know how those colleagues who went outside made fun of me? Even they know that we have no real power at home, and we rely on the elder brother." Seeing that Mrs. Gu had been silent, Gu Yuzhi directly Acting like a baby, a man in his thirties still treats his mother like this, Mrs. Yan is not surprised, Mrs. Gu is very helpful, the eldest son has never been like this.

"Your sister-in-law is the person your elder brother cares about the most." Mrs. Gu sighed, and what Gu Yuzhi said was a matter of course, so let the sister-in-law enjoy the blessings directly, and don't have to do anything. Isn't it good for her? With everything taken care of, she can also take care of her body with peace of mind. This is the best repayment for her eldest brother.

"Mother, I also heard that my sister-in-law is actually very sick. She is afraid that we will use the power of the housekeeper to make an issue. Her personal maid, Siqi, went out of the house and went to the pharmacy. I asked someone to ask about it. But the fever-reducing medicine, I can’t find anything in the Bauhinia Court, there must be a ghost.” Gu Yuzhi finally took out the last trump card, he was so sick that he still wanted the power of the housekeeper, and he wanted to hide it from everyone. Slight wind chill.

Mrs. Gu's expression was slightly stern, she knew better than anyone else that the eldest daughter-in-law could not be touched, could it be that the Mu family in Hui'an City could not be well-decorated, the Gu family is no match for the current situation, and the two older brothers are both favored by the court.

If it is true as what the son said, then it is the elder daughter-in-law's fault...

Yin Huan was busy copying Mu's handwriting in the inner room, a servant girl rushed over to report that Mrs. Gu brought the second wife and the second master over, and they had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

Yin Huan was startled, quickly jumped off the chair and went to Mu's bed, and said calmly, "Mother, the old lady and the second uncle and aunt have come to see you." After finishing speaking, she straightened her clothes and walked out with picturesque.

Until he saw Mrs. Gu walking in, Yin Huan tried to steady his mind, and called out sweetly, "Grandmother, why are you here?"

"Second Uncle and Second Aunt are here too, Sister Ruhua, hurry up and make some tea." Yin Huan affectionately grabbed Mrs. Gu, pulled her to the chair in front of her and sat down.

"Where's your mother, is she still in the house?" Mrs. Gu also smelled the smell of medicine outside the house, looked at the closed inner door, and frowned slightly.

"Yes, my mother has suffered from some wind and cold for the past few days, and after she got up, she dealt with the affairs of the house in the house."

"Why doesn't she come out when mother comes?" Gu Yuzhi was a little dissatisfied, this sister-in-law has always been aloof, even if the eldest brother passed away, she didn't mean to show weakness at all.

"It's not like this second uncle. There are a lot of things going on in the mansion today. Mother hasn't had time to wash up yet, and she hasn't changed her clothes. Knowing that the old lady is coming, she must change first." These words dissuaded Gu Yuzhi from rushing directly The idea of ​​getting in.

"Then wait for a while, it's not too short of time." Mrs. Gu said immediately, and she was also relieved, seeing what the girl meant, she didn't seem to be lying.

Ruhua quickly delivered tea and food, while Yin Huan chatted with Mrs. Gu, chatting nonsense, but not talking about her mother.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Yuzhi became impatient, "It takes so long to change clothes, sister-in-law must have passed out in the room."

Mrs. Gu just let go of her heart and was a little suspicious. Seeing that Yin Huan's smiling face didn't look like she was pretending, Gu Yuzhi said directly to Yan Shi, "Madam, go in and see sister-in-law, this mother has been waiting here for so long It’s been a long time, why haven’t you come out, no matter how busy you are, you don’t understand etiquette.”

Ruhua didn't even have time to stop her, Yan quickly walked over and pushed open the door of the inner room, a look of despair flashed across Yin Huan's face, thinking of the worst possibility, the moment the door opened, Mu Shi sat In front of the dressing table, wearing a green dress, holding a pen to draw eyebrows.

As if surprised by Yan Shi's act of breaking in before knocking on the door, Mu Shi turned around and looked at Yan Shi, with a calm look on his lips, "Second brother and sister, what's the matter with you coming in so eagerly?" about?"

Yan's face was full of disbelief, the hand holding the door frame didn't move, and Gu Yuzhi in the outer room couldn't believe it when he heard Mu's voice. He walked over and saw that this person was really sitting there, not lying there. on the bed.

"Second brother and two younger siblings, what do you mean by this!" Mrs. Mu saw them standing there in surprise and did not speak for a long time, her face also became serious, "If there is nothing important, please go out first, I will It will come out."

Yan closed the door in a daze, thinking that she had misread it. It was clearly said that she was in a coma, so why did she wake up and still be so energetic!

Yin Huan's hand holding the clothes was already soaked with sweat. She lowered her head to suppress the panic just now, raised her head and said to Mrs. Gu, "Mom hasn't taken care of herself well these days, so it will take time for grandma to come. Some time, just keep grandma waiting."

"It's fine, it's okay to wait a while." Mrs. Gu patted Yin Huan's hand, and sat next to her. How could she not feel her slender body just now.

The moment Mrs. Mu in the inner room closed the door, the eyebrow pencil in his hand fell on the dressing table. Siqi behind him hurriedly supported her. Not long after the lady went out, the lady woke up, but she had a high fever. She was so weak that it was difficult to stand up, so Mu asked Siqi to change into some spiritual clothes, and sat in front of the dressing table and asked her to put on some makeup to cover up her sickness.

"Go on, I'm afraid we're waiting outside." Mrs. Mu picked up the red paper and licked it on her lips, and then applied nectar on her lips. Only then did the bloodless lips have some energy, and Siqi finished drawing for her. She raised her eyebrows, put rouge on her cheeks and cheeks, and brushed her hair before helping her to walk towards the door.

At the door, Mrs. Mu broke free from Siqi's hand, opened the door in person, saw Mrs. Gu sitting there, with a smile on her face, and shouted, "Mother, second brother, second younger sister, please wait for a long time. gone."
