Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 104
The seventh day of July is not only Qiaojie's birthday, but also Qiqiao Festival.It's just that neither of the two will cause much sensation.In this way, the day passed quietly.Even the fact that Wang Xifeng left Qiaojie in the east courtyard was not mentioned.It's not that no one has ever noticed it, but even if they found out, it was only when Wang Xifeng cared too much about her son who had just turned one month old, so she simply gave her daughter to the east courtyard. Even Mrs. Wang praised Wang Xifeng in private with Huazan after she heard the news.
"My niece always just likes to argue. Originally, the old lady wanted to raise Sister Qiao. Although she turned her away in the end, I looked at her coldly. She seemed to be very unhappy. I still thought she couldn't figure it out. , fortunately, I have finally learned to behave myself now."
In the east wing of Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was half lying on the bed, and the flower hairpin was tapping lightly with a beauty hammer.What Mrs. Wang said just now, Huazan was surprised to hear it, but it was related to the master, she couldn't interrupt at will, so she just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, without saying a word.
Mrs. Wang didn't expect her to answer, she just said in a soft voice: "It's time to learn a little bit. Brother Feng was still young, and there was only one girl under his knees. It's normal to take a little more seriously. Now she You have a son and a daughter, if you still can't figure it out as usual, then you are really stupid."
"Ma'am, I heard from others that Second Mistress Lian is extremely intelligent." Huazan asked tentatively.
"Smart? Yes, she is not stupid, but have you ever heard of the saying that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness?" Mrs. Wang sneered, and said, "Last year she took Qiao, and she didn't want to send Miss Qiao to the old lady. Madam. Although it is good to find a reason, but the old lady has lived most of her life, how can she not see clearly? "Since you don't want me to raise it, I don't want to raise it." It's ridiculous, Brother Feng, You still want to get your way, but you don't know that the old lady has an opinion on her earlier."
"This..." Huazan was secretly startled, she couldn't believe it.
"You don't believe me?" Madam Wang could guess what she was thinking even if she never looked down.Therefore, he only smiled lightly and said, "Do you think the old lady is really happy with Brother Feng like this? Yes, she can deceive people with her sweet mouth, but so what? Didn't the old lady like my sister Yuan before, And the big girl from the historian. Do you think the old lady is so kind? Just dream, the old lady is just looking for a few playthings to amuse herself!"
Huazan was really frightened this time, and even froze the movements of her hands.Mrs. Wang's words, at first I heard that she was just humiliating Wang Xifeng and others, even Yuan Chun who had already entered the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, this is not dissatisfaction with Jia's mother.
Mrs. Wang raised her eyelids, and glanced lightly at Huazan, who was so frightened that Huazan hurried to her work.It's just that because of his unstable mood, the movements of his hands inevitably changed.
"You are also timid. Although no one has said these words directly, who doesn't think so? Let alone the old lady, why don't I take the three girls in my room and Zhu'er's daughter-in-law as a thing? Let’s see? The third girl is fine, she’s so sweet, she’s not as good as Brother Feng and Miss Shi, but at least she’s the first one in our house. Zhu’er’s daughter-in-law..."
In the past, every time she thought of Li Wan, Mrs. Wang would feel grief and anger.The sad thing is the early death of the eldest son Jia Zhu, and the anger is that the eldest daughter-in-law Li Wan did not take good care of her son.But now, after what happened last year, thinking of Li Wan again, Mrs. Wang was only filled with anger.
In fact, as far as she said just now, as early as last year, when Wang Xifeng played tricks and refused to send Qiaojie to Rongqingtang, Jia's mother had a little grudge against Wang Xifeng.It's just that with Jia Mu's temperament, it is impossible to make a fuss over this kind of thing. Even after she realized that Wang Xifeng was so unwilling, she already planned to let it go.In other words, those things behind Wang Xifeng can only be said to be superfluous.
But there is another point, Mrs. Wang dare not even think about it deeply.
... At that time, Mother Jia treated Wang Xifeng lightly, on the one hand, she did not want to be as knowledgeable as the younger generation, but the most important thing was that Mother Jia was busy cleaning her up at that time!
Mrs. Wang closed her eyes tiredly, she didn't know when the problem started.In fact, long before Jialan's accident, everything went wrong for her.Thinking about it carefully, it should be that after Li Wan fainted from anger, it seemed that Li Wan had done something wrong, but in the final analysis, she, as a mother-in-law, was naturally dereliction of duty.Going forward, it should be Tanchun's concubine's daughter who changed into a concubine's daughter, and continue to trace the source...
"Madam!" Huazan saw that Mrs. Wang had closed her eyes, but she was asleep.Unexpectedly, suddenly, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and stood up suddenly.Involuntarily, Huazan exclaimed.
"It's okay, I'll rest for a while, you go down."
After sending away Huazan, Mrs. Wang finally had the mind to sort out the affairs of these days carefully.Although everything seems to be a coincidence, the reason why a coincidence is called a coincidence is because the probability of occurrence is extremely rare.But if it happens once, twice or three times...
It's strange that there is no problem here!
Mrs. Wang rested for a whole day, she didn't even call for lunch, until the sunset, Huazan finally couldn't help knocking on the door and calling out, but said that it was the time to go to Rongqing Hall to pay her respects in the past.Madam Wang called Huazan in.
After Huazan came in, she was taken aback because Mrs. Wang's current appearance looked very strange.After resting in the room for a whole day, the whole person looks extremely tired, but there is a bright light in her eyes, so surprised that Huazan only thinks that she is a dumb, and she quickly grooms Mrs. Wang with her head down. The master and servant took several second-class maidservants to Rongqing hall together.
It's mid-July now, although it's the time to say hello in the past, but looking at the sky outside, it's still very bright.Mrs. Wang walked through the hall and went straight to the main hall of Rongqing. She wanted to confirm some things, and couldn't wait to confirm the authenticity.But when she really arrived at Rongqing Hall, she hesitated again.
"Brother Feng, hurry up and invite your wife to the front."
Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly. What she was embarrassed about was not that Mother Jia always referred to Mrs. Wang as her wife, but because she had to put on an embarrassing appearance for this matter.There is no other reason, it is because of the "accidental" news that came a moment ago.
"Madam, you..." Wang Xifeng seemed to be obedient, but in fact, while inviting Mrs. Wang, she quietly gave Mrs. Wang a look, "Old lady, please come over." Wang Xifeng stretched out her hand as she spoke. Helping Mrs. Wang, lest Mrs. Wang didn't see her eyes just now, she secretly pinched her.
"Okay, Brother Feng." Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Xifeng thoughtfully. After thinking about it for a day, she finally pushed all the crimes onto Da Fang.Of course, Mother Jia is also at fault, and Jia Zheng is not innocent, but she can't blame these two, but she can hate the big family members.She even wondered whether Wang Xifeng had secretly cast herself for the couple, but looking at it now, it seemed that it was not the case.Of course, Mrs. Wang could not conclude that Wang Xifeng was innocent based on this point alone, but compared to the rest of the family, Wang Xifeng was her niece after all, so she decided to give Wang Xifeng another chance.
Wang Xifeng was not clear about these matters, but while she was helping Mrs. Wang forward, she very quickly read two words into Mrs. Wang's ear: Li Wan.
It was Li Wan, not Sister-in-Law Zhu, just from this title, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, and she was suddenly in doubt, wondering what Wang Xifeng wanted to tell her.
"Political daughter-in-law, what's wrong with the family these days?" Mother Jia said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang became more and more suspicious.In such a huge Rongguo Mansion, even if it has been sitting on the mountain for several years, the remaining family property is enough to squander for decades. As long as you have money, how can you not get along?Could it be that the big house accused her of neglecting her?Or are the relatives on Ningrong Street going to be moths again?
In just that moment, Mrs. Wang thought a lot, but she quickly grasped the point.Of course it was the two words that Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to remind her just now.
If it was Li Wan...
"If you go back to the old lady, everything in our house is fine, and there is nothing wrong with it." Mrs. Wang replied with a forced smile, then looked at Wang Xifeng, and said, "Brother Feng, have you ever heard of something inappropriate?" ? Could it be Brother Rong's side, the wet nurse is being lazy and slippery?"
Wang Xifeng just covered her mouth and smiled, and shook her head: "How could it be? I take Brother Rong on top of my heart. If his nanny dares to neglect him, look back and see if I won't tear up that old bastard!" My grandmother is definitely not old, in fact, she is only a year or two older than Wang Xifeng.However, because Wang Xifeng has always had such a temper, no one has ever questioned her.
At least Mother Jia just gave Wang Xifeng an angry look and didn't say anything.But Mrs. Wang laughed again: "Who else would it be if it wasn't Brother Rong? Baoyu and Lan'er are raised by the old lady. I can rest assured that there are ten thousand of them. There is a big lady watching over the big house. I I'm also watching in the room, so what's going on? After all the calculations, Brother Feng is younger, and I'm afraid he will be coaxed away."
"Hmph, take care of yourself!"
Mrs. Wang also wanted to say a few soft words to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't want Jia's mother to suddenly lower her face, making Mrs. Wang unable to recover for a while.After she managed to stabilize herself, she realized that Xiang Yun, who had been with Jia's mother day and night, was not here.Looking again, Mrs. Xing was sitting alone under Jiamu, and Yingchun and Xichun had disappeared.There was not even a maidservant present in the main hall except for the mandarin duck beside Jia Mu, and even the flower hairpin who had accompanied her into the main hall earlier was dragged out at some point.
"Old lady, if my daughter-in-law has done something wrong, I ask the old lady to punish you." Mrs. Wang's heart beat like a drum. After seeing the situation around her, she remembered the news that Wang Xifeng secretly sent her just now. The ominous premonition intensified even more.
"Old ancestor, my wife must have been kept in the dark about that matter, and it must not have been done by my wife." Compared to Mrs. Wang's tentative confession, Wang Xifeng was more direct, denying it without saying anything, and hastily added He said, "Old Ancestor, although my wife is the head wife of our family, I am the one who handles many things. I can guarantee that since last year, after sister-in-law Zhu and the third younger sister entered the west courtyard, my wife has I never paid attention to the matter over there again. Something happened to sister-in-law Zhu, and my wife must be the most distressed."
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and looked at Wang Xifeng who had knelt on the ground in disbelief.It wasn't that she doubted Wang Xifeng's intentions, because the words were so obvious, they were sending her a message.It has even explained the crux of the problem very straightforwardly.
... Something happened to Li Wan, and Mother Jia suspected that she did it.
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't explain it at all, and she couldn't explain it.explain what?Explain that she never targeted Li Wan?Or justify that Mother Jia wronged her?Otherwise, it means that Li Wan's so-called accident was all fabricated?The most frightening thing was that even now, she still didn't know what kind of accident happened to Li Wan.
Don't be dead, if that's the case, I'm afraid she really has to take the blame.
"Hmph, I know this was not ordered by Mrs. Wang." Mother Jia snorted coldly, but then she slowed down her tone, let Wang Xifeng get up and call her to her, and said pitifully, "You child, you are too honest. Now, do you think I will wrong your wife? I have never been so stupid, if the Wang family is really that stupid, it would not be brought up by our four big families."
This is not a good word to hear, but Wang Xifeng nodded with a stiff neck.
Jia Mu said again: "So what if she didn't do it? Brother Feng, you have also been in the family before. If you want to toss someone, will you directly instruct the people under your hands to do it directly? You just need to be in front of everyone. Showing an attitude on someone's face proves that you don't care about that person at all, and then secretly provoking a few words, there will be those idiots who think they are exquisite and darling to do things for you!"
Wang Xifeng froze completely.
Obviously, Mother Jia was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, but the problem is, Wang Xifeng has really used this trick before.In the previous life, when Jia Lian fell in love with Second Sister You, she would first gently coax him into the mansion, and then find ways to torment Second Sister You bit by bit.In fact, to put it bluntly, she did nothing.It's just expressing his attitude, and then causing Qiutong to become jealous. She just sits and reaps the benefits of being a fisherman while watching Qiutong and Second Sister You make a big mess.The only surprise was probably Second Sister You's death. She really overestimated Second Sister You's ability to bear it.Of course, going back to the source of this matter, Wang Xifeng is still the "murderer", but she has never really attacked Second Sister You.
It's too easy for someone from a high family and a high position to fight without bloodshed.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Mother Jia didn't wait for Wang Xifeng's response, but thought that Wang Xifeng couldn't bear to deal with Mrs. Wang, so she simply looked at Mrs. Wang and said coldly.
Mrs. Wang's face was already pale at this moment. Speaking of it, the daughters of the Wang family are really like dogs, just like Wang Xifeng did this kind of thing in her previous life, and Mrs. Wang did it too, and more than once.Therefore, Jiamu's words just now pierced into her heart like a sharp knife, making her indisputable.
Unfortunately, Mother Jia had to answer her questions.
"Back to the old lady, since I got sick last year, I haven't been feeling well. In the early days, Brother Feng was there to help me, so I could rest for a while. But later, Brother Feng got older. I have no helpers, and I have to do everything by myself, which is really too much. And because the old lady's Rongqingtang must not be neglected, and Brother Feng has a body, I can't lose her. So I just take the old lady first The most important thing is that I stared at Brother Feng again, but missed the side." Mrs. Wang said with a choked voice, and at the end, she turned around and bowed to Mrs. Xing for mercy, "Sister-in-law, these days you I was also wronged, I really didn't care about the East Courtyard, I'm sorry."
Mrs. Xing: "..."
Compared with Mrs. Xing's Zhang Er monk who was confused, Jia Mu just sneered: "Don't talk about him. There is a daughter-in-law at the east courtyard. When do you need to worry about it? Brother Feng Although she is pregnant, she has always been assertive and capable. Is it possible that she can't manage such a small courtyard well? And here I am, others dare not say, this Rongguo Mansion was in charge of me before you entered the door. on!"
Mrs. Wang fell to her knees with a thud, and did not speak for a while.
Mother Jia was still not enjoying herself to the fullest, she took the tea from Yuanyang, took two sips to moisten her throat, and then said again: "Okay, since you said that you are not in good health and can't manage the house, you will take care of the affairs at hand. Leave everything to Brother Feng. Don't worry, there will be Xi's daughter-in-law here, and if not, I will be here, you just take good care of your body, and then let me sort out those things in your room!"
Before Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, Mother Jia slammed people directly, and only said: "Mr. Li is up to me, move out from the west courtyard first. As for the third girl who is still there, Brother Feng, you Be careful, what kind of ice and charcoal, don't be stingy, the Rongguo family has a big business, if people know that the eldest daughter-in-law is not as good as eating and drinking, hum!"
Madam Wang looked up at Mother Jia in disbelief, but was helped out of the main hall by Wang Xifeng.After waiting in the outer hall, Wang Xifeng released Mrs. Wang, and said to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, since the old lady has such an order, we have to obey. You are an elder, why don't you come up with a regulation? , gave it back to me?"
"Brother Feng, let's just leave it to me. The second girl and the fourth girl are still in my care, plus Sister Qiao... If you are really too busy, the third girl in the west courtyard Give it to me too, it's okay. Don't worry, I will treat her well." Although Mrs. Xing was also envious of the housekeeper, there was something in what Jia Mu said just now.Mrs. Xing couldn't figure it out for a while, but she also had an ominous premonition.After much deliberation, he simply dismissed the matter of the housekeeper, but took over the affairs of all the girls who have not left the cabinet in the Rongguo Mansion.You know, this wife and grandma can make troubles, but the girls who have not left the cabinet can't. No matter how powerful Tanchun is, as the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, Tanchun dare not challenge her openly.
"Everything depends on the eldest lady." Wang Xifeng took a deep look at Mrs. Xing, only a little unclear whether Mrs. Xing was wise and stupid, or she had been pretending to be stupid all these years.
Stewardship is very attractive, but it also carries great responsibilities.Now at first glance, Mrs. Xing has given up her rights, but after careful consideration, she has shed all responsibilities.In particular, the things Mrs. Xing took care of, except for Tanchun, were originally done by her.It can be said that after such a commotion, she also added Tanchun, a seemingly troublesome matter, but it was completely harmless.
Soon, Mrs. Xing found an excuse to leave, and Wang Xifeng personally sent her out of the Hanging Flower Gate outside Rongqing Hall.
When Wang Xifeng turned her head again, Mrs. Wang was already waiting for her on the porch.
"Second wife, I'll take you back too." There are certain things that cannot be said in Rongqing Hall.Even Wang Xifeng knew that the current Rongxi Hall might have become a sieve full of loopholes, but after all it was Rongxi Hall, at least there was a fig leaf outside.
Mrs. Wang would not reject Wang Xifeng's proposal, and the two went to Rongxi Hall together, and went directly to Mrs. Wang's room.
"Auntie, I'm going to make a long story short, and because I don't understand some things, I just mentioned what I know. As for the other things, I will ask my aunt to make a judgment for myself." Wang Xifeng changed her usual laughing expression, and only asked her in a serious manner. Mrs. Wang said, "Before, I got the news that the steward of the big kitchen asked to see the old lady. I thought it was something wrong with the big kitchen, so I hurriedly sent to the other side to ask the news, and at the same time went to the old lady's place." I never thought about it, but it was the people from the big kitchen who took advantage of Na Suyun who was beside sister-in-law Zhu and helped to spread the news."
"What is it!" Mrs. Wang's face was livid.
"Oh, sister-in-law Zhu broke her legs." Wang Xifeng said with a sigh.Seeing Mrs. Wang's unbelievable expression, Wang Xifeng hurriedly added, "It's not just that. It is said that the things that should be given to Mrs. Zhu according to the rules are all incomplete but extremely bad. Daily The meals, seasonal clothes, and monthly bills are all short, and ice like summer has never appeared. The third sister is young and in good health, but there is nothing wrong. Sister-in-law Zhu... "
"What does this have to do with her broken leg?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly interrupted Wang Xifeng's words, but a burst of panic flashed through her heart.
"It is said that the wife ordered someone to ask sister-in-law Zhu to get up at three o'clock every day, first kneel for two hours to pick up Buddha beans, wait for breakfast, then kneel for two hours to recite Buddhist scriptures, and then have lunch. I still knelt for two hours, but this time I was copying Buddhist scriptures, and after dinner, I knelt to pray for the late brother Zhu, and it was also two hours."
There are only twelve hours in a day, but Li Wan has to kneel for eight hours.Although they are not kneeling together, they are also covered with futons.But after a long time, the legs will inevitably become useless.
"...What's going on with her now? Tell me, Brother Feng, tell me!"
"I really don't know." Wang Xifeng looked at the panic-stricken Mrs. Wang, and for a moment, felt that it was so unreal.Once upon a time, Mrs. Wang lost her proud calmness and indifference, but what remained was a temperament that was easily startled and irritable.
"What about her? Where is she?" Mrs. Wang asked again.
"It was originally in the west side courtyard, but didn't the old lady just say that? Someone moved Mrs. Zhu out of the west courtyard. As for where to arrange it, I really don't know."
What Jia Mu said was in front of everyone, and Mrs. Wang naturally knew it.Previously, she hadn't noticed under the shock and anger, but now she was reminded by Wang Xifeng, and suddenly realized: "Brother Feng, do you think the old lady will let her live in Rongqing Hall?"
Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and then said: "It is possible. Speaking of which, Baoyu and Lan'er are both grown up now. I also heard that the old lady intended to move them both to the East Wing. Sister Yun is always the same. Followed by the one who lives in the Bisha closet. Previously, the three younger sisters lived together in the building at the back, but now it is vacant. I think, the old lady is very likely to let sister-in-law Zhu live in the building at the back."
It used to be Sanchun's residence, and Li Wan had rested occasionally in the past, so it was quite normal to behave like this.
"Brother Feng, you find a way to hire the best doctor for her. It is best to let Lian'er take the master's name card to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial doctor. I know this and I can't explain it. If you explain it, the old lady won’t believe it either. Simply, hurry up and treat Mrs. Li’s wounds, and if you don’t have all the medicinal materials you need in the warehouse, tell me, and I’ll give you the dowry money.”
Mrs. Wang knew that this time, she was completely screwed. Even at the beginning, all the faults were Li Wan's alone, but after Jia Lan's disfigurement, the previous faults were wiped out. I have sympathy for Li Wan, but I also have hatred for her!Now that it happened again, what else could she do?
...can't do anything about it.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely try my best to heal Sister-in-law Zhu's injury. Actually, I really can't blame Auntie for this matter. Not to mention who instigated this matter, since Sister-in-law Zhu can be here today The person who bribed the big kitchen to deliver the letter for her, what about before? So many days before, what was she doing? Take a step back, even if she couldn’t send the letter before, she was so honest? When I was young, I did something wrong, aunt Punish me to do needlework, don't I think of a way to let the servant girl replace me? Besides, there are real evidences for the other things, this kneeling... If it is placed on me, I will not kneel and insist that I kneel, auntie Can you still kill me?"
Mrs. Wang fixed her gaze on Wang Xifeng, but her eyes seemed to be on another place.
The author has something to say:
The 7K+ of this chapter should be regarded as making up for the updates owed a few days ago.There is still another chapter, but dear friends, don't wait, I don't know when it will be finished. ╮(╯_╰)╭
"My niece always just likes to argue. Originally, the old lady wanted to raise Sister Qiao. Although she turned her away in the end, I looked at her coldly. She seemed to be very unhappy. I still thought she couldn't figure it out. , fortunately, I have finally learned to behave myself now."
In the east wing of Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was half lying on the bed, and the flower hairpin was tapping lightly with a beauty hammer.What Mrs. Wang said just now, Huazan was surprised to hear it, but it was related to the master, she couldn't interrupt at will, so she just pursed her lips and smiled lightly, without saying a word.

It's normal to take a little more seriously. Now she You have a son and a daughter, if you still can't figure it out as usual, then you are really stupid."
"Ma'am, I heard from others that Second Mistress Lian is extremely intelligent." Huazan asked tentatively.
"Smart? Yes, she is not stupid, but have you ever heard of the saying that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness?"

"This..." Huazan was secretly startled, she couldn't believe it.
"You don't believe me?" Madam Wang could guess what she was thinking even if she never looked down.Therefore, he only smiled lightly and said, "Do you think the old lady is really happy with Brother Feng like this? Yes, she can deceive people with her sweet mouth, but so what? Didn't the old lady like my sister Yuan before, And the big girl from the historian. Do you think the old lady is so kind? Just dream, the old lady is just looking for a few playthings to amuse herself!"
Huazan was really frightened this time, and even froze the movements of her hands.Mrs. Wang's words, at first I heard that she was just humiliating Wang Xifeng and others, even Yuan Chun who had already entered the palace, but after thinking about it carefully, this is not dissatisfaction with Jia's mother.

It was Li Wan, not Sister-in-Law Zhu, just from this title, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, and she was suddenly in doubt, wondering what Wang Xifeng wanted to tell her.
"Political daughter-in-law, what's wrong with the family these days?" Mother Jia said.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang became more and more suspicious.In such a huge Rongguo Mansion, even if it has been sitting on the mountain for several years, the remaining family property is enough to squander for decades. As long as you have money, how can you not get along?Could it be that the big house accused her of neglecting her?Or are the relatives on Ningrong Street going to be moths again?
In just that moment, Mrs. Wang thought a lot, but she quickly grasped the point.Of course it was the two words that Wang Xifeng took the opportunity to remind her just now.
If it was Li Wan...
"If you go back to the old lady, everything in our house is fine, and there is nothing wrong with it." Mrs. Wang replied with a forced smile, then looked at Wang Xifeng, and said, "Brother Feng, have you ever heard of something inappropriate?" ? Could it be Brother Rong's side, the wet nurse is being lazy and slippery?"
Wang Xifeng just covered her mouth and smiled, and shook her head: "How could it be? I take Brother Rong on top of my heart. If his nanny dares to neglect him, look back and see if I won't tear up that old bastard!" My grandmother is definitely not old, in fact, she is only a year or two older than Wang Xifeng.However, because Wang Xifeng has always had such a temper, no one has ever questioned her.
At least Mother Jia just gave Wang Xifeng an angry look and didn't say anything.But Mrs. Wang laughed again: "Who else would it be if it wasn't Brother Rong? Baoyu and Lan'er are raised by the old lady. I can rest assured that there are ten thousand of them. There is a big lady watching over the big house. I I'm also watching in the room, so what's going on? After all the calculations, Brother Feng is younger, and I'm afraid he will be coaxed away."
"Hmph, take care of yourself!"
Mrs. Wang also wanted to say a few soft words to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't want Jia's mother to suddenly lower her face, making Mrs. Wang unable to recover for a while.After she managed to stabilize herself, she realized that Xiang Yun, who had been with Jia's mother day and night, was not here.Looking again, Mrs. Xing was sitting alone under Jiamu, and Yingchun and Xichun had disappeared.There was not even a maidservant present in the main hall except for the mandarin duck beside Jia Mu, and even the flower hairpin who had accompanied her into the main hall earlier was dragged out at some point.
"Old lady, if my daughter-in-law has done something wrong, I ask the old lady to punish you." Mrs. Wang's heart beat like a drum. After seeing the situation around her, she remembered the news that Wang Xifeng secretly sent her just now. The ominous premonition intensified even more.
"Old ancestor, my wife must have been kept in the dark about that matter, and it must not have been done by my wife." Compared to Mrs. Wang's tentative confession, Wang Xifeng was more direct, denying it without saying anything, and hastily added He said, "Old Ancestor, although my wife is the head wife of our family, I am the one who handles many things. I can guarantee that since last year, after sister-in-law Zhu and the third younger sister entered the west courtyard, my wife has I never paid attention to the matter over there again. Something happened to sister-in-law Zhu, and my wife must be the most distressed."
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and looked at Wang Xifeng who had knelt on the ground in disbelief.It wasn't that she doubted Wang Xifeng's intentions, because the words were so obvious, they were sending her a message.It has even explained the crux of the problem very straightforwardly.
... Something happened to Li Wan, and Mother Jia suspected that she did it.
Suddenly, Mrs. Wang broke out in a cold sweat. She couldn't explain it at all, and she couldn't explain it.explain what?Explain that she never targeted Li Wan?Or justify that Mother Jia wronged her?Otherwise, it means that Li Wan's so-called accident was all fabricated?The most frightening thing was that even now, she still didn't know what kind of accident happened to Li Wan.
Don't be dead, if that's the case, I'm afraid she really has to take the blame.
"Hmph, I know this was not ordered by Mrs. Wang." Mother Jia snorted coldly, but then she slowed down her tone, let Wang Xifeng get up and call her to her, and said pitifully, "You child, you are too honest. Now, do you think I will wrong your wife? I have never been so stupid, if the Wang family is really that stupid, it would not be brought up by our four big families."
This is not a good word to hear, but Wang Xifeng nodded with a stiff neck.
Jia Mu said again: "So what if she didn't do it? Brother Feng, you have also been in the family before. If you want to toss someone, will you directly instruct the people under your hands to do it directly? You just need to be in front of everyone. Showing an attitude on someone's face proves that you don't care about that person at all, and then secretly provoking a few words, there will be those idiots who think they are exquisite and darling to do things for you!"
Wang Xifeng froze completely.
Obviously, Mother Jia was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, but the problem is, Wang Xifeng has really used this trick before.In the previous life, when Jia Lian fell in love with Second Sister You, she would first gently coax him into the mansion, and then find ways to torment Second Sister You bit by bit.In fact, to put it bluntly, she did nothing.It's just expressing his attitude, and then causing Qiutong to become jealous. She just sits and reaps the benefits of being a fisherman while watching Qiutong and Second Sister You make a big mess.The only surprise was probably Second Sister You's death. She really overestimated Second Sister You's ability to bear it.Of course, going back to the source of this matter, Wang Xifeng is still the "murderer", but she has never really attacked Second Sister You.
It's too easy for someone from a high family and a high position to fight without bloodshed.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think?" Mother Jia didn't wait for Wang Xifeng's response, but thought that Wang Xifeng couldn't bear to deal with Mrs. Wang, so she simply looked at Mrs. Wang and said coldly.
Mrs. Wang's face was already pale at this moment. Speaking of it, the daughters of the Wang family are really like dogs, just like Wang Xifeng did this kind of thing in her previous life, and Mrs. Wang did it too, and more than once.Therefore, Jiamu's words just now pierced into her heart like a sharp knife, making her indisputable.
Unfortunately, Mother Jia had to answer her questions.
"Back to the old lady, since I got sick last year, I haven't been feeling well. In the early days, Brother Feng was there to help me, so I could rest for a while. But later, Brother Feng got older. I have no helpers, and I have to do everything by myself, which is really too much. And because the old lady's Rongqingtang must not be neglected, and Brother Feng has a body, I can't lose her. So I just take the old lady first The most important thing is that I stared at Brother Feng again, but missed the side." Mrs. Wang said with a choked voice, and at the end, she turned around and bowed to Mrs. Xing for mercy, "Sister-in-law, these days you I was also wronged, I really didn't care about the East Courtyard, I'm sorry."
Mrs. Xing: "..."
Compared with Mrs. Xing's Zhang Er monk who was confused, Jia Mu just sneered: "Don't talk about him. There is a daughter-in-law at the east courtyard. When do you need to worry about it? Brother Feng Although she is pregnant, she has always been assertive and capable. Is it possible that she can't manage such a small courtyard well? And here I am, others dare not say, this Rongguo Mansion was in charge of me before you entered the door. on!"
Mrs. Wang fell to her knees with a thud, and did not speak for a while.
Mother Jia was still not enjoying herself to the fullest, she took the tea from Yuanyang, took two sips to moisten her throat, and then said again: "Okay, since you said that you are not in good health and can't manage the house, you will take care of the affairs at hand. Leave everything to Brother Feng. Don't worry, there will be Xi's daughter-in-law here, and if not, I will be here, you just take good care of your body, and then let me sort out those things in your room!"
Before Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, Mother Jia slammed people directly, and only said: "Mr. Li is up to me, move out from the west courtyard first. As for the third girl who is still there, Brother Feng, you Be careful, what kind of ice and charcoal, don't be stingy, the Rongguo family has a big business, if people know that the eldest daughter-in-law is not as good as eating and drinking, hum!"
Madam Wang looked up at Mother Jia in disbelief, but was helped out of the main hall by Wang Xifeng.After waiting in the outer hall, Wang Xifeng released Mrs. Wang, and said to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, since the old lady has such an order, we have to obey. You are an elder, why don't you come up with a regulation? , gave it back to me?"
"Brother Feng, let's just leave it to me. The second girl and the fourth girl are still in my care, plus Sister Qiao... If you are really too busy, the third girl in the west courtyard Give it to me too, it's okay. Don't worry, I will treat her well." Although Mrs. Xing was also envious of the housekeeper, there was something in what Jia Mu said just now.Mrs. Xing couldn't figure it out for a while, but she also had an ominous premonition.After much deliberation, he simply dismissed the matter of the housekeeper, but took over the affairs of all the girls who have not left the cabinet in the Rongguo Mansion.You know, this wife and grandma can make troubles, but the girls who have not left the cabinet can't. No matter how powerful Tanchun is, as the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, Tanchun dare not challenge her openly.
"Everything depends on the eldest lady." Wang Xifeng took a deep look at Mrs. Xing, only a little unclear whether Mrs. Xing was wise and stupid, or she had been pretending to be stupid all these years.
Stewardship is very attractive, but it also carries great responsibilities.Now at first glance, Mrs. Xing has given up her rights, but after careful consideration, she has shed all responsibilities.In particular, the things Mrs. Xing took care of, except for Tanchun, were originally done by her.It can be said that after such a commotion, she also added Tanchun, a seemingly troublesome matter, but it was completely harmless.
Soon, Mrs. Xing found an excuse to leave, and Wang Xifeng personally sent her out of the Hanging Flower Gate outside Rongqing Hall.
When Wang Xifeng turned her head again, Mrs. Wang was already waiting for her on the porch.
"Second wife, I'll take you back too." There are certain things that cannot be said in Rongqing Hall.Even Wang Xifeng knew that the current Rongxi Hall might have become a sieve full of loopholes, but after all it was Rongxi Hall, at least there was a fig leaf outside.
Mrs. Wang would not reject Wang Xifeng's proposal, and the two went to Rongxi Hall together, and went directly to Mrs. Wang's room.
"Auntie, I'm going to make a long story short, and because I don't understand some things, I just mentioned what I know. As for the other things, I will ask my aunt to make a judgment for myself." Wang Xifeng changed her usual laughing expression, and only asked her in a serious manner. Mrs. Wang said, "Before, I got the news that the steward of the big kitchen asked to see the old lady. I thought it was something wrong with the big kitchen, so I hurriedly sent to the other side to ask the news, and at the same time went to the old lady's place." I never thought about it, but it was the people from the big kitchen who took advantage of Na Suyun who was beside sister-in-law Zhu and helped to spread the news."
"What is it!" Mrs. Wang's face was livid.
"Oh, sister-in-law Zhu broke her legs." Wang Xifeng said with a sigh.Seeing Mrs. Wang's unbelievable expression, Wang Xifeng hurriedly added, "It's not just that. It is said that the things that should be given to Mrs. Zhu according to the rules are all incomplete but extremely bad. Daily The meals, seasonal clothes, and monthly bills are all short, and ice like summer has never appeared. The third sister is young and in good health, but there is nothing wrong. Sister-in-law Zhu... "
"What does this have to do with her broken leg?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly interrupted Wang Xifeng's words, but a burst of panic flashed through her heart.
"It is said that the wife ordered someone to ask sister-in-law Zhu to get up at three o'clock every day, first kneel for two hours to pick up Buddha beans, wait for breakfast, then kneel for two hours to recite Buddhist scriptures, and then have lunch. I still knelt for two hours, but this time I was copying Buddhist scriptures, and after dinner, I knelt to pray for the late brother Zhu, and it was also two hours."
There are only twelve hours in a day, but Li Wan has to kneel for eight hours.Although they are not kneeling together, they are also covered with futons.But after a long time, the legs will inevitably become useless.
"...What's going on with her now? Tell me, Brother Feng, tell me!"
"I really don't know." Wang Xifeng looked at the panic-stricken Mrs. Wang, and for a moment, felt that it was so unreal.Once upon a time, Mrs. Wang lost her proud calmness and indifference, but what remained was a temperament that was easily startled and irritable.
"What about her? Where is she?" Mrs. Wang asked again.
"It was originally in the west side courtyard, but didn't the old lady just say that? Someone moved Mrs. Zhu out of the west courtyard. As for where to arrange it, I really don't know."
What Jia Mu said was in front of everyone, and Mrs. Wang naturally knew it.Previously, she hadn't noticed under the shock and anger, but now she was reminded by Wang Xifeng, and suddenly realized: "Brother Feng, do you think the old lady will let her live in Rongqing Hall?"
Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and then said: "It is possible. Speaking of which, Baoyu and Lan'er are both grown up now. I also heard that the old lady intended to move them both to the East Wing. Sister Yun is always the same. Followed by the one who lives in the Bisha closet. Previously, the three younger sisters lived together in the building at the back, but now it is vacant. I think, the old lady is very likely to let sister-in-law Zhu live in the building at the back."
It used to be Sanchun's residence, and Li Wan had rested occasionally in the past, so it was quite normal to behave like this.
"Brother Feng, you find a way to hire the best doctor for her. It is best to let Lian'er take the master's name card to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial doctor. I know this and I can't explain it. If you explain it, the old lady won’t believe it either. Simply, hurry up and treat Mrs. Li’s wounds, and if you don’t have all the medicinal materials you need in the warehouse, tell me, and I’ll give you the dowry money.”
Mrs. Wang knew that this time, she was completely screwed. Even at the beginning, all the faults were Li Wan's alone, but after Jia Lan's disfigurement, the previous faults were wiped out. I have sympathy for Li Wan, but I also have hatred for her!Now that it happened again, what else could she do?
...can't do anything about it.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely try my best to heal Sister-in-law Zhu's injury. Actually, I really can't blame Auntie for this matter. Not to mention who instigated this matter, since Sister-in-law Zhu can be here today The person who bribed the big kitchen to deliver the letter for her, what about before? So many days before, what was she doing? Take a step back, even if she couldn’t send the letter before, she was so honest? When I was young, I did something wrong, aunt Punish me to do needlework, don't I think of a way to let the servant girl replace me? Besides, there are real evidences for the other things, this kneeling... If it is placed on me, I will not kneel and insist that I kneel, auntie Can you still kill me?"
Mrs. Wang fixed her gaze on Wang Xifeng, but her eyes seemed to be on another place.
