My wife is frail and sickly

Early in the morning, Shen Derong returned to the house angrily.

Today during the court meeting, his carriage broke down on the way, and it was too late to return home to change the carriage. He was waiting by the roadside, hoping to catch a ride on his colleague's carriage.

If someone is unlucky enough to drink cold water, his teeth will choke. He waited for a long time. In the past, he would meet three or five colleagues, but today he met none.

It was getting late, and it was too late to go to court. Shen Derong had no choice but to return home first.He didn't ask for leave beforehand, and now he still had to write an apology note. It's strange that he was in a good mood!
The coachman who was scolded by him was also aggrieved. Would he dare to neglect the Marquis's carriage?When did you not check carefully before going out?Today was no exception. He didn't know why a good carriage broke down halfway.

Alas, in short...he's out of luck!
That wasn't the end of it, Lin went out for a banquet later, and the carriage he was riding in also broke down halfway.She was luckier than Shen De. There was a carriage and horse carriage shop nearby, so she rented a carriage.

How can a rented carriage compare with the carriage of the Marquis Mansion?When she came in, she was ignored because the carriage was too simple, and she was ridiculed several times by her rival because she was late, which made her very angry.

When she returned to the house, her mother-in-law summoned her, reprimanded her, and asked her how she managed the house. If she couldn't manage it well, she should just let Xian take care of it and let the other rooms take charge.

Several siblings sat aside and gloated at her joke.

Mrs. Lin was confused. Her mother-in-law was not only her mother-in-law, but also her biological aunt.The relationship between her aunt and nephew has always been very good, and she treats her mother-in-law with great respect. If she doesn't use any good things, she will send them to her mother-in-law first. This is the first time that she has been scolded so mercilessly.Did something happen in the house that she didn't know about?

"Sister-in-law, I don't blame my mother for being so angry. Our second master went out today, and the carriage broke down halfway. The second master's head hit the carriage, and it became so swollen." The second sibling, Mrs. Sun, seemed to remind her kindly.

"Our fourth master's carriage is also broken down. Fourth master is fine, but Jie Geer's tooth was knocked out." This is the fourth younger sister Wu, and Jie Geer is her eldest son.

Of the several daughters-in-law, it is true that Mrs. Lin is the closest to her niece, but compared to her biological son and grandson, Mrs. Lin, the niece and daughter-in-law, has to step back!
The third sibling, Zheng, said weakly, "Our third master went out on horseback, so it's okay." The third master was a concubine, so Zheng could not speak among the sisters-in-law, but everyone else did, so she also No good, don’t say anything.

Only then did Mrs. Lin know that not only the carriage she and the Marquis were riding in was broken down today, but also all the carriages going out in the house were broken down.

"Sister-in-law, is it that Uncle Wang's family is here and you are too busy to do anything? If you really can't handle it, just say something and I can help you. We are all a family and we are all doing it for the good of the house. Anyway, I'm idle all day long." Mrs. Sun looked at Mrs. Lin with concern, her eyes full of meaning.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, second brother and sister. No matter how many things there are in the house, there are still servants, and I don't need to do it myself. What can't be done? I won't worry about it. Second brother and sister should be more concerned about Hai. Brother, I heard that he had another fight in school yesterday and was punished by his master. Are you okay?" He also looked concerned.

Mrs. Sun immediately became unhappy, "After all, it has to be my sister-in-law. Even if a fly comes into our yard, she will know it."

Mrs. Lin explained in a good voice, "Aren't these brothers all in the school? I listened to the kid's loose mouth. If you don't believe me, ask the third and fourth younger siblings. They must know it too." He was concerned again. He said, "Is Brother Hai's hand okay? I just got a box of good medicine, and I will send it to you later." Brother Hai was slapped on the palm of his hand by the master. I heard that it made his hand swollen.

Mrs. Sun was almost disgusted by her. She was about to stab her a few more times. When she heard about the good medicine, she still felt sorry for her son. She endured it and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." It felt like gritting her teeth.

"As a family, you are heretics when you say this." Mrs. Lin, still good-tempered, turned to her mother-in-law and apologized first, "Mom, I just know that such a big thing happened in the house and it is all my fault. I will ask someone right away. Go check it out and give everyone an explanation. I will immediately arrange for the doctor to go and take a look at the second, third, and fourth master’s place. Yesterday, I asked someone to sort out the private treasury and sorted out a lot of materials. The colors are suitable for several younger brothers and sisters. I am alone. I can’t wear it anymore, so I’ll share it with everyone later.”

After hearing what she said, the old lady's expression softened a lot, "Well, you are a capable person and you are always thoughtful in doing things. Just do as you say."

Mrs. Lin did not leave directly, but continued to chat with her mother-in-law, making her smile. When she saw that she was tired, she left.

The sisters-in-law came out together. Mrs. Sun was holding her breath in her heart. She looked at Mrs. Lin who was smiling but not smiling. "My sister-in-law is lucky. My eldest brother is much more promising than our second brother. By the way, sister-in-law, please don't forget us." Brother Hai’s ointment.”

Mrs. Lin was still not annoyed, "I won't forget it. When I get back, I'll send it to my maid."

Mrs. Sun punched the cotton and became even more angry. "Then I'll go back and wait for sister-in-law's ointment." She turned around and left.

They are all legitimate sons. Just because the Marquis is the eldest son, they are inferior to others in this house?She didn't think about seizing power. What's wrong with giving her some control over the huge Hou Mansion?The eldest sister-in-law is just a step-in-law, and she controls the Hou Mansion tightly. The old Marquis is still here. Do you really think that the entire Hou Mansion belongs to her family?
Huh, that's so annoying!

Zheng and Wu acted as if they hadn't seen their moves, and went back to their respective courtyards with expressions as usual.The fourth brother is also a legitimate son, and he is still the youngest son, so the old lady is naturally more partial to him.The Wu family has a good family background and a large dowry. She doesn't care about the stewardship of the Hou Mansion. She just likes to live her own life behind closed doors. Anyway, their four families will not suffer any loss.

As for Mrs. Zheng, haha, she was born as a daughter-in-law, so how could it be her turn to speak?
Mrs. Lin did not return to the yard, but took the people to the carriage and horse department.There was also a trial, but all the servants in charge of the carriage and horse department insisted that all the carriages had been carefully inspected before going out, and they were all good.I also looked at the broken carriage, and the damage did not look like it was man-made.

This is strange, everything is fine, why are all the carriages that went out today broken down?The breakdown of one or two carriages can be said to be an accident. All the carriages are broken. Who can believe that this is an accident?

However, Mrs. Lin worked hard and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Shen Xiaolou also worked hard all day. The carriages came one after another. Fortunately, they didn't go out at the same time, otherwise she would have been too busy.

I’m exhausted today, so I need to replenish my energy.Shen Xiaolou twisted his neck and decided to treat himself to a good meal.

Shen Xiaolou bumped into someone just as he was leaving the hospital. Shen Xiaolou was startled, "Seventeen? Why are you here?" After Shen Xiaolou settled down, he asked someone to send a message to Yang Zhuangtou, informing her of her address in Beijing.

Seventeen still looked lifeless, but the sword had an extra scabbard, but it was still very eye-catching.

"Someone from Zhuangzi came up to ask about you and Mother Li. Yang Zhuangtou asked me to come and tell you."

It was not surprising that someone went to Zhuangzi Shen Xiaolou. Her letter made it so clear that Uncle Wang would definitely send someone to check.But that’s all I asked about her, I also asked about Li’s mother...

Could it be someone from the mansion?
"who?"

"Male, medium height, no more than [-] years old, square face, big mouth, and a mole on the left side of his chin."

As expected of a killer, she observed too carefully. Unfortunately, this information was of little use to her. "Did he say where he was from? Why did he ask about me and Mother Li?"

"I told you, Mansion."

Damn, he didn’t run away, he must be someone from Lin’s faction!This was because I was anxious after seeing no news from my mother Li for a long time.

"When did he come to Zhuangzi?" Shen Xiaolou asked quickly. She came to Beijing to cause trouble, but Lin sent people to destroy her territory. This is not okay!

Shi Qi thought for a moment, "It's been a few days." He didn't go out, and he didn't know the specific days.

"What, how many days?" Shen Xiaolou was anxious. Didn't he already go back to report to Mrs. Lin? "Why did you come to tell me now?"

Shiqi's face was expressionless. He didn't know what she was worried about. "Yuan Zhonglou said he was ugly and gave him Croton, which made him collapse."

Not bad, not bad. Shen Xiaolou patted his chest and was thankful that he saved Yuan Zhonglou in vain. He guarded the apricot grove with both medical ethics and kindness, and solved her big worries!

Then Shi Qi said again: "He set off behind me..."

Shen Xiaolou's smile froze on his face and he stared at Qi Qi fiercely, "Can you finish the sentence in one go?" Breathing so loudly would kill someone. "What are you waiting for? Let's go and block people!"

Qi Qi wanted to say, "Don't be so anxious, we'll be halfway there," but Shen Xiaolou had already walked a long way, so he hesitated for a while and followed silently.
