Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 48 Face
Li Taiwei stayed at Yunshuiju for a whole day, but she didn't see any movement from Xue's side, she became suspicious, so she asked Tian's mother to find a reason to go to Qiutang Courtyard to have a look.

Tian's mother, Zhang Luohao, took Zhaohe's anti-fetal medicine out of the yard, and people from Huaantang came.

Seeing that Nanny Sun came in person, Li Taiwei felt a little puzzled in her heart, and faintly sensed what happened.

Grandma Sun went to Zhaohe's house to invite Ann, asked a few words about her appetite recently, and glanced at Li Taiwei who was sitting outside practicing calligraphy, hesitated for a while but said nothing, told Zhaohe to take good care of her body, turned around and Went to Li Sheng's study.

After a while, Li Sheng went to Hua'an Hall with Grandma Sun with a solemn expression.

In Hua'an Hall, Mrs. Li closed her eyes and twisted the beads in her hand, her face haggard.Li Qin bowed his head and sat silently under Mrs. Li's hand, his face turning pale.Xue's cheeks were red, and she sat beside Li Qin, staring at the corner of Li Qin's clothes anxiously.

When Li Sheng came in, Nanny Sun dismissed the serving servants, and the Hua'an Hall was so quiet that one could hear an embroidery needle drop.

"Mother."

Li Sheng stepped forward and bowed to call out, his eyes swept across Li Qin and Xue's face, he frowned and did not make another sound.

Mrs. Li opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and her face sank.

"Come and see! What are these things!"

Mrs. Li was out of breath, and knocked the Buddhist beads heavily on the Eight Immortals table beside her. With a bang, Li Qin's face turned pale again.

"Everyone, how shameless! Hui Niang is still awake, so you just..."

Mrs. Li's shout was obviously aimed at Mrs. Xue, and at the end of the day, she couldn't keep up her words.

Xue shrank her body and did not dare to say anything, but quietly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

Li Sheng lowered his eyes, seeing his elder brother's paler face, he had no choice but to persuade him in a low voice:

"Mother calm down... The matter has come to this, it is better to arrange it earlier."

Mrs. Li put on a blank face, she took a hard look at Xue Suqin, her heart was filled with depression, this is the concubine she has chosen thousands of times for the long house!

Fortunately, she brought Mrs. Xue close to the mansion to educate herself half a year ago, who would have thought that she would have such dirty thoughts...

When she thought that Mrs. Xue was almost being included in the eldest house by her, Mrs. Li was terrified.Such a shameless woman is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Showa!

Pooh!What a pickle!

Mrs. Li scolded Mrs. Xue fiercely in her heart. Today, the two had sex when the mistress was seriously ill. Although Li Qin was not her own son, after all, he was adopted under her name. Mrs. Li only felt that it was an old face. It's all gone!

"Second brother! Tell me yourself, how do you plan to arrange Mrs. Xue!"

Mrs. Li was so disgusted that she didn't even want to mention Xue Suqin's name.

"If Hui Niang wakes up, how do you want to explain to her? And her natal family's Yongping uncle's mansion... Back then you swore that you would never marry a concubine in your life..."

Li Qin lowered his head, Mrs. Li's words hit his heart like nails, and his fingertips trembled with pain.

Seeing that he didn't say a word, Xue Suqin panicked a little, looked at Li Qin with tears in her eyes, and murmured:

"Second master... you... you are a concubine... say something..."

"If you don't want to be a concubine... then the concubine... the only way to die..."

After saying that, Xue covered her lips and began to cry.

"Brother, how do you plan now...you still need to say something..."

Li Sheng saw it and sighed.

"Everything... I ask my mother to decide..."

After a while, Li Qin slowly opened his mouth.But in just a few words, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength:

"Huiniang's place... let me tell you..."

Xue Shi stopped crying immediately when she heard the sound, and her eyes lit up looking at Li Qin.

Mrs. Li turned her face away, stopped looking at the two of them, calmed down for a while, and then said:
"Then I'll write a book and send it to Xue's family, and I'll bring it in someday!"

"But today's matter, you're rotten in your stomach, you can't show your words, otherwise my Li family's face will not be able to withstand the saliva of outsiders!"

Xue Suqin kowtowed her head in gratitude when she heard Mrs. Li's words, and then glanced at Li Qin anxiously.

Li Qin stood up, but didn't go to help Xue Shi, and moved his body stiffly, with difficulty, in a daze, as if his body weighed a thousand catties.

Seeing him staggering from the back, lost in spirit, Li Sheng was a little worried, so he raised his feet to chase after him, and then heard Mrs. Li say:

"Sanlang, let him go, I'm afraid you still need to come forward to make things right for the Bai family..."

After saying that, Mrs. Li stared at Xue Suqin who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily:

"Why are you still sticking here? Why don't you get out and serve the second master!"

Xue shivered, kowtowed a few more times before bowing and retreating.

Seeing the distressed appearance of these two, Mrs. Li almost frowned.

"Mother... Is there anything strange about today's incident?"

Seeing that the two of them had gone far away, Li Sheng sighed and said:
"I don't think the second brother is half happy. Besides, even if he is interested in Mrs. Xue, he will definitely not pick it when his sister-in-law is ill..."

Mrs. Li's face was disgraced today, and she said in a bad mood:
"Who knows them!"

"Afternoon, he begged to come to me by himself... If he didn't have that kind of thought, who could force him to fail!"

Li Sheng couldn't accept this, so he could only persuade him:

"Mother, don't get angry, take care of yourself. When the second sister-in-law recovers, I will go to the Yongping uncle's mansion in person. The second elder brother is here, it's hard to think about it these few days, mother don't want to be angry with him again."

Mrs. Li looked at her own son who had made her proud for half her life, and her eyes became inexplicably moist:
"It's really hard for me to rely on you to support me inside and outside the house..."

Li Sheng seldom listened to his mother's words of admiration, so he felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, so he smiled and said:
"Fortunately, Aluan has grown up, and this child is clear-minded and assertive. These days, the second sister-in-law is recovering from illness, so mother might as well leave the matter of donation to Aluan and his niece and daughter-in-law temporarily."

"Her temper is still confiscated. Thank God if she doesn't cause trouble for my old lady. Can she be expected to take care of the affairs of the house?"

Mrs. Li has an expression on her face that you don't want to joke with me.

Li Sheng smiled wryly, and roughly mentioned a few words to Mrs. Li about Aluan's fight against Prince Chun's son yesterday and the matter of seeing through Concubine Hua's design.

Mrs. Li was shocked when she heard that:

"You said sister Wei... how could she have this kind of ability?"

This granddaughter has been smart since she was a child, but she has never used her thoughts in the right place. Why did she suddenly become enlightened when she went to Xiliang?

"The palace is not peaceful recently..."

Mrs. Li was frowning.

"Old madam... just now came the news from Qiutang courtyard that the second madam has woken up..."

Nanny Sun called into the room through the black lacquered cloud pattern door.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but exchanged glances with Li Sheng, got up quickly and opened the door, supported by Nanny Sun, walked towards the Qiutang courtyard.
