Chapter 57
A few days later, Mrs. Li really started to arrange the banquet.

The second wife, Mrs. Wang, is young after all, so it's not suitable to hold a big event, so this time the banquet is a family banquet. Although it is not noisy, it is also very decently prepared.

Because the Second Madam listened to operas a lot and knew most of the opera troupes in Beijing, Mrs. Li handed over to the Second Madam the selection of the troupe to perform in the mansion this time.

On the day of the banquet, the old lady had lunch and went back to rest early because she had the habit of taking a lunch break.

Only the juniors watched the play around the stage with great interest.

Today's play is "Good and Evil Gets Rewarded" personally ordered by the second wife

The general meaning in the play is that there are two brothers in this family, the elder brother is cowardly and afraid of internal affairs, and listens to his wife, while the second brother died young and left a pair of orphans and widows.

After the death of the elder in the family, the mean and ungrateful eldest daughter-in-law drove the mother and son out of the house.

Fortunately, the second daughter-in-law is industrious and virtuous, and spends all day spinning and weaving for the young master to study. When the young master grows up, he will be a good-looking talent and full of knowledge.So he quickly got what he thought was a beautiful and virtuous wife.

As the young master grows up, the life of the family of three is getting better and better.

But the jealous eldest daughter-in-law came to frame her second brother and sister's family for stealing her family's money, so that she could live so richly.

So they found a group of bullies and drove the mother and son out of their own home.

Seeing this, the young master knew that if he didn't have an official position, he would be bullied by his aunt for the rest of his life, so he resolutely decided to go to Beijing to take the exam.

Fortunately, this young master is very talented at the top of the high school list, but at this time the court is in the midst of employing people.

As a last resort, the young master didn't go home, so he had to go to take office first. After three years of leaving, the young master became the governor of a province.

The little prince asked the emperor for leave and went back to his hometown to pick up his mother and daughter-in-law.

But he didn't want to be told by his aunt when he got home that his daughter-in-law saw that the young man was late, thinking that something happened to him, so she abused her mother-in-law to death and remarried.

The young master was so distraught that he had no choice but to donate some of the volume he had saved to his aunt.

The little prince was distraught, so he came to his mother's favorite back mountain to worship, and only then did he find out.The mother did not die and her daughter-in-law did not remarry.

The two of them have been living in the cave in order to avoid the troubles of the eldest daughter-in-law.

The little prince was so happy that he hurriedly brought his mother and daughter-in-law to the governor's mansion, and sued his eldest aunt for the crime of bullying the clan, so the eldest daughter-in-law was dispatched to the cold frontier.

Everyone in the audience watched this play with gusto, especially the tragic ending of the eldest daughter-in-law, which made everyone happy.

Only Li Shi kept a straight face throughout the whole scene. At the end, when she heard the derogatory abuse of the eldest daughter-in-law both on and off the stage, she felt as if her heart was blocked and she was very stuffy.

"Well, Mrs. Wang, I'm kind enough to hold a banquet for you. If you don't appreciate me, that's all. How dare you play tricks and scold me."If I didn't have business to do in a while, I would have to turn the stage on the spot. '

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li calmed down her irritability, and then winked at Mama Liu.

Mother Liu understood, and Dang even left the theater with a few women.

Wan Su watched coldly, acting like they didn't notice anything.

After a while, Die Er, who was beside Fifth Yiniang, suddenly came to the theater.

She came to Wan Su, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Second Miss, what happened to Wu last time, thanks to your rescue, Wu Yiniang was safe and sound. Thank you, servant."

Wan Su didn't seem to hear, listening to the libretto on the stage, while playing the sign following the rhythm.

There was a trace of embarrassment on Die'er's face, so she turned her head to look at Caixiang, as if hoping she would say something nice for her.

Caixiang now has a deep hatred for Die'er, so she has a good face and refuses to show her: "Oh, you people in Meizhuyuan are very precious, our lady can't afford your thanks."

When Die Er heard this, her face turned pale and red, she was really ashamed.

"What happened before was all a misunderstanding, and everything happened because of the recklessness of this servant girl. I hope that the second lady will not care about me, this lowly servant girl."

After finishing speaking, Die Er fell to her knees with a "plop".

Fortunately, the place where Wan Su worked was relatively remote, and everyone was watching a play, so no one noticed the movement here.

Only then did Wan Su shift her gaze to her, and said with a look of emotion: "Die'er, what are you doing, why are you like this, Caixiang quickly help Die'er up."

When Caixiang heard the words, she was reluctant to pull Dieer on the ground.

And Die'er's legs seemed to be filled with lead, no matter how Wan Su pulled her, she couldn't get up!When he looked up again, tears were streaming down his face.

"Second miss, please save my aunt!"

Wan Su asked with concern on her face: "What happened to your aunt?"

Die'er wiped her tears with grief on her face and said: "Fifth Yiniang, for some reason after lunch a few days ago, suddenly her stomach hurts! I wanted to ask the eldest lady for a doctor, but the eldest lady said that today is the second lady's birthday. It was unlucky, and then I went to find the old lady, but the old lady was taking a lunch break, and Mama Lin wouldn't let me in at all. Now the servant is desperate, so I came here to invite you. The servant knows that you are proficient in medicine, please save five Auntie!"

Die Er burst into tears when she said it, it really moved her face.

Wan Su hurriedly revealed an anxious look on his face: "What? There is such a thing? Take me there to see."

After Wan Su finished speaking, she got up and followed Die Er to the Plum and Bamboo Courtyard.

When Li Shi saw this scene in the distance, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After an incense stick of kung fu, Die'er suddenly went crazy and ran to the theater and said, "It's not good, help me! The second lady gave Wu Yiniang a miscarriage drug, and both Wu Yiniang and the child can't do it!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and the repertoire on the stage naturally stopped abruptly.

The crowd no longer had the desire to watch a play, and ran towards the Plum Bamboo Courtyard in a swarm.

As soon as Mrs. Li opened the door, she saw that Wan Suzhen was kneeling on the ground with a surprised face, as if she was stupid, while Fifth Yiniang was lying motionless in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li felt her heart jumping out of excitement. She could only suppress the joy in her heart and force herself to say sternly: "Liang Wansu, you dare to persecute my concubine. See if I'm not doing well today." teach you a lesson"
