old lady in red

As night fell, the maids lit four silver candlesticks in the corners.

The orange light diffused away.

At night, Rongqing Hall is covered with golden light.

Very warm.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian turned the pages of the book.

Jia Cong Yuanchun leaned in front of his brothers and listened to the two brothers telling the stories in the picture book.

Shi Mei listened attentively.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian made witty remarks and told his younger brothers and sisters about the list of gods.

Speaking of Nezha's lotus incarnation, three heads and six arms...

Yuan Chun interrupted: "So, wouldn't Nezha exude the fragrance of lotus flowers?"

Jia Cong clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, will you provoke bees..."

Shi Mei and Jia Min almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

Shi Mei and Jia Min went into the inner room and offered incense to Jia Daishan.

Shi Mei looked at Jia Min: "I see you've been angry for a long time, so just say something."

Jia Min was very angry at the Wang family hurting Jia Zhu: "Mom, you have indulged the Wang family too much.

It's okay if I didn't tear my face before.

Now that the daughter of the Wang family has done such a stupid thing, shouldn't the Wang family hold their tails and keep a low profile?

Right now Rong Mansion is still thriving, so they dare to slander behind their backs and insult them face to face.

I'm really sad, how could Zhu'er end up with such a mother family..."

Shi Mei said: "Do you think I should immediately go to the Wang family to argue?"

Jia Min pouted: "Why don't you go?"

Shi Mei said: "Do you know why I waited for half a year to clean up the fifth room?"

Jia Min's eyes lit up: "You mean, you definitely want to settle accounts with the Wang family, but you are just waiting for an opportunity?"

Shi Mei nodded: "Smart!"

Jia Min frowned: "The Wang family is different from Wufang. Wufang is full of pigtails. As long as we are patient, we can catch them. Prince Teng of the Wang family is very shrewd."

Shi Mei laughed and said: "Let him change in ever-changing ways, but he can't hide from my fiery Jin Xing.

Although the Wang family doesn't have braids, Wang Ziteng's fox tail has been exposed.

Now I only need a rope to bind the monster. When Jinling's letter comes back, Wang Ziteng dares to play tricks, I told him to steal chickens and lose rice!

At that time, the old and new accounts will be settled together, and I will also find Zhu Er's grievances for him. "

Jia Min laughed immediately, and took Shi Mei's arm to act coquettishly: "It turns out that the mother has already made up her mind, but she made the daughter worry for nothing, and the daughter refused to follow..."

Shi Mei smiled and said: "Well, I got married after a new year, and I still like to act like a baby.

How about this, in order to scare my precious daughter, let’s go to Puyu Street every few days. Didn’t we say that the [-]-acre land does not need soil blocks, but stones? "

Jia Min was overjoyed when she heard this, and put her arms around Shi Mei's neck: "Mother, living at home is so comfortable, my mother loves me, my nephews like me, I won't get married, is that okay..."

At this moment, Nanny Lai announced outside: "Ma'am, Grandma Jing is here with Grandma Jing from Dongfu."

Shi Mei was a little surprised: "Mr. Yang? Jing'er didn't come?"

Did the couple decide to accept their proposal and go to the mansion to recuperate?

Nanny Lai said, "Uncle Jing went to the front yard."

If they came together, there should be no accident between husband and wife.

That's fine too.

There are few people in the two prefectures, and they get together to celebrate the New Year.

Shi Mei asked Jia Min to pack up the Lingyu she was cultivating, and at the same time told Nanny Lai to greet her.He also got up and went to the screen.

Yang must have opened the mountain gate to come in when he passed the mansion in the middle of the night.

For the clinker, Mrs. Zhang helped Mrs. Yang enter the door.

Yang's hair is disheveled, and his gray hair is disheveled. He looks very pervasive and pitiful.

Shi Mei's heart beat wildly for a moment, could something have happened?

Shi Mei was busy reaching out to support Yang Shi, looking at Zhang Shi: "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and shook her head: "Daughter-in-law really doesn't know what to say..."

Shi Mei frowned and said: "What's the matter, if you don't tell it in front of your own family, can't you tell it to outsiders?"

Yang immediately cried.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong and Yuan Chun were all frightened and stood solemnly.

Seeing Yang's situation, Shi Mei knew that the matter was serious, so she hurriedly told Jia Min: "Min'er, didn't you say that you want to choose Lingyu for your nephews and nieces, go!"

Jia Min was busy greeting her four nephews.

For a while, only Shimei Zhang and Yang were left in the room.

Shi Mei ordered water to be fetched, and Mrs. Zhang personally helped Mrs. Yang do her makeup.

The two sisters-in-law forged a profound friendship during Zhang's one year of childcare.

Now the two are like sisters.

Otherwise, Mrs. Yang would not ask someone to send a message to Mrs. Zhang first.

After Mrs. Zhang finished washing, Shi Mei ordered Nanny Lai to make a cup of hot milk tea with honey for Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yang.

After Yang drank half a cup of milk tea, she was finally able to speak normally.

Yang took Shi Mei's hand and wept again: "Auntie, I really doubt that I am not my mother's biological daughter, my father picked it up outside..."

Shi Mei was very surprised: "What kind of talk is this? Marriage between two surnames should not be confused. If you pick it up outside, you are not eligible to marry into Ningguo Mansion. You must be your own. Don't worry."

When Yang heard this, she wept even more violently.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't cry aloud during the twelfth lunar month, Yang would definitely cry her like a sea.

She felt that she was too wronged and worthless, she regretted it to death, and felt that she was a fool in the past.

Shi Mei felt unable to have a formal conversation with Yang for a while.

It is not good for someone in the family to cry during the twelfth lunar month, so Shi Mei could only order Yang to make a cup of calming tea.

Mrs. Yang became quiet after drinking tea, and even fell asleep on the kang in the Nuan Pavilion.

Shi Mei covered Yang Shi with a blanket, and then went to the outside room with Zhang Shi.

Although the outside room is not as good as the Nuan Pavilion, it is not cold even if it is smoky.

Shi Mei held the celadon hand stove in both hands, and looked at Zhang with a frown: "What's the matter, tell me?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "Since we returned to Beijing with our family, sister-in-law Jing has told me about it several times, and you also know that after returning to Beijing, things at home have happened one after another.

My eldest brother from my natal family will be rehabilitated after the next year, so he will be the county magistrate in Zhili.

The old house in the capital also needs to be tidied up. It hasn’t been lived in for three years. The sister-in-laws haven’t returned to Beijing yet.

The daughter-in-law wants to wait until she has been busy for a while, and then have a detailed talk with her sister-in-law, so as to unravel her.

Who would have thought that the old lady of the Yang family would be more and more ignorant of the seriousness, and that sister-in-law Jing was still alive, so she would dare to bring a niece and niece to take care of sister-in-law, but in fact it was to fill in the house for brother Jing.

Tell me, are you here to serve the patients, or to urge them to die? "

Hearing this, Shi Mei was taken aback.

How could someone do such an immoral thing

?

No wonder Yang suspected that he was not his own, this is simply inferior to a beast.

Shi Mei asked Zhang Shi: "Does this mean that Mrs. Yang brought everyone home?"

Mrs. Zhang gritted her silver teeth secretly: "Last time when Sister-in-law Yang complained to me, she only said that the old lady came to the door and was nagging, but Sister-in-law Yang didn't agree.

The two also argued for a few words.

Unexpectedly, this time he brought someone to the door.It is said to be a 23-year-old girl.

Said to be the daughter of Mrs. Yang's cousin, both parents died, leaving behind five children, two boys and three girls, and this daughter is the oldest.There are two younger sisters below, one twenty and one seventeen, neither of whom has a husband's family.It is said that the marriage was delayed because of filial piety..."

Shi Mei had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Shi Mei looked at Mrs. Zhang, and calculated in her mind when the second wife of Bafang brought Mrs. Xing to Rongfu to hook up with the men.

Shi Mei thought about it carefully, and finally understood why Mrs. Zhang didn't recognize Mrs. Xing.

When Mrs. Zhang arrived in Jinling, Shi Mei had already turned against Bafang, and Mrs. Xing had already retreated to Bafang at that time, not daring to show her face.

Shi Mei thought, if she really fell into the trap of Wang's and aborted Zhang's, then Xing's would probably join up with Jia She.

This is not a wild guess.

Yang's family, Xing's family, and Bafang's step-wife are all from Jinling Mansion, so if they can't keep it, it's just something on the same line.

Shi Mei probed, "Daughter-in-law She has seen that girl?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "That girl doesn't look like a coquettish girl, but she was born with a full heaven and a wide and round land, and she looks like a blessing.

Mrs. Yang also comforted her elder sister-in-law by saying that it was only for those who had no roots in their natal families to enter the door so that she could handle it well, so she didn't dare to wrong the children. "

Shi Mei couldn't help laughing: "Cause the child? Brother Zhen is married, why are you afraid of the stepmother? Is this Mrs. Yang a fool?"

With Jia Zhen's virtue, if he doesn't bully his stepmother, he will be blessed by the Bodhisattva.

And Mrs. Yang is the serious mother-in-law of Ning Mansion and Yang's biological mother.

In such a situation, unless it was Yang who went mad and pushed people away, others really couldn't intervene.

Even if Shi Mei is an aunt, she can't object to her natal mother sending a girl to take care of the patient.

No one can prove that Mrs. Yang prepared a woman for her son-in-law with bad intentions, except Mrs. Yang.

If they make a fuss, Mrs. Yang is justified.

Outsiders would also misunderstand that Rongning and Ningfu looked down on poor relatives.

This is inseparable.

At such a time, there was definite news from Jia Jing.

The candidate for Jia Jing's successor that Mrs. Yang prepared was the eldest daughter of the Xing family that Shi Mei knew.

Now Mrs. Yang is in charge, and the girl from the Xing family has already moved into Ningfu.

Mrs. Yang also said that girls don't need dowry gifts, but they can also bring a dowry of 2000 taels of silver.

Shi Mei only thought of haha.

The annual income of the Ning Mansion is [-] to [-], is it that she needs [-] silver to show up?

Shi Mei guessed that this Xing family was able to marry Jia She in her previous life, and she was afraid that Mrs. Yang had made a lot of contributions.

At the beginning, he was plotting against Jia Amnesty, but now he is plotting against Jia Jing, this Xing family is really on the fence with Jia's surname.

Is it impossible to get rid of the evil fate born?

Shi Mei asked her eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang: "There is neither hatred nor love for no reason in this world. What is this Mrs. Yang planning? So anxious to find a substitute for her own daughter and a step-mother-in-law for her niece?"

Mrs. Zhang knew what her mother-in-law meant when she heard the words: "You mean, Mrs. Yang has benefited from Mrs. Xing?"

Shi Mei said: "In the past when Yang's family was in charge, Mrs. Yang ate and drank and walked around endlessly.

Now that Jing'er is in charge of the house, Yang is sick, and young Yang is just a stick. It is very inconvenient for her to get in and out. Maybe she is used to holding it before, but now she can't hold it, so she feels unhappy, right? "

Mrs. Zhang heard the words and said: "Mother, when you said this, my daughter-in-law remembered one thing. The sister-in-law's brother was a co-prefect in Shanxi, and the victims were everywhere. They didn't give relief, but gave gifts to Shangguan with money, and wanted to seek Beijing officials. After the incident, Brother Yang was kicked out by the magistrate and dismissed from office.

Looking for a way now.

The eldest sister-in-law spent a lot of money in seeking release for her eldest brother.

Because Mrs. Yang indulged Zhen'er's nonsense, she fell out with her mother's family, and also had a rift with Brother Jing, so she is no longer willing to contribute money and effort..."

Mrs. Zhang felt cold all over while speaking, this person's heart is too scary.

As for such a strange woman like Mrs. Yang, and that rough-skinned and thick-skinned girl from the Xing family who hooks up everywhere, if the crime falls into Shi Mei's hands, he will deal with it simply and rudely.

Mrs. Yang created a car rollover scene.

The old woman's bones are crisp, her legs are easy to break, she can't get up for a year or so, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of her.

The maids of the Xing family were simpler, she was knocked out, and she would find a man who couldn't afford a wife and make a bunch of them for her.

This girl still has a dowry of [-] silver. Not to mention she is a young girl, even if she is a widow, someone will take over her.

Therefore, the key now is Yang's attitude.

If she dared to break with her natal mother, Shi Mei would dare to help her.

There are suitable targets among the backstreet people.

Yang Shi slept for two hours, while Shi Mei and Zhang Shi kept guarding her.

Jia Min comforted the four nephews and nieces to sleep before coming to accompany her mother.

Knowing Yang's situation, Jia Min's whole body was in a bad mood: "Sister-in-law Jing is so pitiful, how did you meet such a wolf-hearted family?"

What Jia Min has seen in the past few days exceeds what she has seen and heard in 18 years.

Just now I was still feeling sorry for Zhu'er, and met such a mother who cheated on her nephew.

In a blink of an eye, I met a Yang family who was even more deceitful.

Jia Min's eyes were moist, she looked at Shi Mei and said: "Zhen'er is a generous person, and she doesn't know how to love her mother, mother, we have to help Jing beat my sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang is too bullying."

He was talking here, when he heard movement in Nuan.

As soon as Yang's eldest maid came out, she bowed to everyone and said, "Ma'am, grandma, Miss Si, our nanny is awake, and I would like to invite some of you to come in and talk."

Shi Mei, Zhang Shi, and Jia Min entered the inner room.

Immediately, Mrs. Yang knelt down on the kang in the warm pavilion, kowtowed and said, "Auntie, my nephew and daughter-in-law have heard your words. The life of my nephew and daughter-in-law depends on my aunt. I beg my aunt to save my nephew and daughter-in-law."

Shi Mei froze: "Well, Auntie is not angry, so please be happy, Mrs. Yang is your mother after all..."

Yang wept and said: "Auntie doesn't know how cruel she is, I didn't try to persuade her, but she actually convinced Qing'er that Qing'er is very good with that girl from the Qin family.

Everyone is looking forward to my death, aunt, nephew and daughter-in-law are really dead..."

Shi Mei was furious: "What?

Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law also dare to think this way?

Mrs. Yang, let me say that you were such a capable and straightforward person back then, how did you become like this?

If Yang Qing'er dares to scheme against you, you can't take out her mother-in-law's money. What does such a daughter-in-law keep?

Hurry up and rest, otherwise, sooner or later, the family will be implicated and the family will be ruined..."

Shi Mei stopped, she was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say.

Shi Mei supported Yang Shi to get up: "Why are you kneeling, you have to think about it carefully, if you really can be ruthless and break off from your natal family, I will help you!"
