into the bosom

Chapter 55
Mrs. Wu gave Xu Jiao the meeting gift she had prepared. Naturally, a smart person like Mrs. Yan would not be convinced, so she also gave a box.

Xu Jiao accepted it unceremoniously.Mrs. Zhao, on the other hand, didn't express it at all.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Yan had expected it a long time ago, and there was no difference in the slightest, but Jing Shan's complexion was a little ugly.

"Mother, we just came back, and there are still a lot of things in the yard that haven't been collected, so I'm going to apologize and go back first!" Mrs. Zhao had no intention of dealing with them, and said goodbye.

"Go ahead, you've been exhausted all this way, you should take a good rest first. After your father and elder brother come back from the office, I'll prepare a reception banquet for you, and we'll come and get together again!" Mrs. Wu said with a smile .

According to Mrs. Zhao's temperament, this banquet was going to sit with the family she hated. She was afraid that she would not be able to eat, and she would not accept even half aggrieved, so she directly refused, even Mrs. Wu's face was not honored. will give.

Madam Yan smiled slightly, waiting for Madam Zhao to open her mouth to make Madam Wu unhappy as before.

Who knows, this time, Mrs. Zhao hesitated for a moment, then said in a stiff voice, "Okay!"

good?Mrs. Yan suspected that she had heard it wrong, and suddenly raised her eyes in surprise, and glanced at Mrs. Zhao, mother and daughter.Mrs. Zhao still had a stiff face, eyes full of gloom and reluctance, no different from before.But she just said "yes"?
Mrs. Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and her eyes glanced over the girl's slender smiling face.

Coming out of Baishou Hall, Mrs. Zhao's complexion was not very good, and she didn't pay attention to Xu Jiao. She divided the flowers and brushed the willows all the way, crossed the corridor and crossed the bridge, and she didn't know how far she had walked. When you look at it, you know it's here.

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped through the door, Mrs. Zhao said "lock the door" in a deep voice, Qin Niang answered "yes", and turned to lock the door with an iron general that she had prepared long ago.

Xu Jiao stared at it with bright eyes, it's awesome!

Mrs. Zhao suddenly turned her head and glared at her, "Who told you to make up your own mind just now?"

"Then I can't just watch others bully my mother, can I?" Xu Jiao was confident.

Mrs. Zhao choked, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart for a while. Except for Qin Niang beside her, no one else ever felt that Mrs. Yan was bullying her. They all felt that she was narrow-minded, sensitive and suspicious... so many years of grievance Accumulated in the heart, what kind of suffering?
Someone suddenly stood by her side today...Mrs.

Her sudden silence caused Xu Jiao and Qin Niang to look at her strangely. Mrs. Zhao was uncomfortable with that gaze, her eyes flashed twice, and she coughed, "You are happy for a while, so don't be afraid." Offended your grandmother and that woman, will life be difficult in the future?"

"For the sake of my mother, I am not afraid of offending anyone!"

Xu Jiao replied that it was a matter of course, but she said in her heart, she is not a fool, she also saw that Mrs. Wu did not value Mrs. Zhao very much, but she still has a minimum of love for her granddaughter. Today She took the reason again, which would only make Mrs. Wu feel sorry for her, instead of blaming her.

As for Mrs. Yan, it's the same whether she gets offended or not today. If she wants to target Mrs. Zhao, how can she really show mercy to her, Mrs. Zhao's "daughter"?
You can't be bullied to your head and still swallow your anger, right?She Xu Jiao is not a tortoise!
As for the future... Zuo can only see the tricks and break the tricks, who will win, the coffin will be the final decision!
Mrs. Zhao's face became even more uncomfortable, and she snorted, "There's no need to be afraid! We're living our own lives behind closed doors, and she can't reach us yet!"

"Madam said yes, besides, there are old master and old madam!" Qin Niang chimed in, Madam Zhao's complexion turned a little ugly, but Qin Niang didn't seem to see her, she still smiled and said, "No Looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, in the past when A Lang was here, with him mediating, life was not difficult for my wife. Now that we have our wife, I see it is also very good. The old man protects his weaknesses and always protects his granddaughter."

Mrs. Zhao didn't speak, but she should be able to understand what Qinniang was saying. What's more, Xu Jiao's practice today has given her a personal understanding.If she wanted to gain the upper hand over Mrs. Yan, she should think about what to do.

As if Xu Jiao didn't see the silent and fluctuating undercurrent between the master and the servant, he was already strolling around the yard with great interest.

The garden was not at all dilapidated and deserted as she thought it would be, but it was well maintained.Not only is it clean, but the flowers and plants have also been carefully pruned. From the details, it can be seen that it was not done in a hurry when they were about to come back, but someone has been taking care of them regularly and carefully.

There are several rose bushes climbing on the flower wall, and many flowers have already bloomed.Several crape myrtle plants have opened buds, and a tree of purple flowers will bloom in two days.Going further, there is actually a lotus pond. Although there are no lotus flowers, the lotus leaves are everywhere, and they are also so green that people will be enchanted.

This garden is not small, and it seems to be less crafty and more casual than the main courtyard over there, Xu Jiao likes it very much.

After strolling around for a while, he asked with great interest, "Where do I live?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at her bright eyes under her thick eyelashes, and wanted to say that she had shallow eyelids and no prospects, how could a garden make her so happy?But when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner, raised his hand and pointed in a certain direction, "Over there! Let Ban Lan lead you there!"

Xu Jiao had no objection, and walked briskly with the hem of her skirt in her hand. Her back was full of joy, with agility and liveliness unique to this age.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her back and lowered her gaze.

Qin Niang took her hand, "I was in Baishou Hall today, but what happened? Madam, tell me about it?"

At the same time, in Baishou Hall, everything was quiet.

After making a fuss, Mrs. Wu really had a headache.While letting Yu Niang massage her, she was talking to Yu Niang.

"What does Yuniang think about today's events?"

Yu Niang glanced at Mrs. Wu, who was asleep with her eyes closed, and she couldn't see any anger or anger on her face. After a moment of consideration, she said, "Second Lady is smart, she really looks like Erlang!"

Mrs. Wu opened her eyes and was silent for a moment. Yuniang withdrew her hand knowingly, and she sat up slowly, "I didn't realize it before, but Ajiao made the words clear today, but I also feel that what she said is also reasonable. .”

What makes sense, Mrs. Wu didn't say it clearly, and Yuniang wouldn't question it ignorantly, she just sat aside with a smile.

Of course, Mrs. Wu doesn't need her to speak. "Ms. Zhao has a straightforward personality, but she is blessed to have a clever daughter." There was regret and joy in this voice.

The second son who died young was a deep pain in Madam Wu's heart, now she saw that the second son survived the only flesh and blood in the world, even though she was a girl, her intelligence was exactly the same as that of the second son.
