The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 55 Mrs. Xie’s test

Lin Zhiyu was kicked out by Lin Songyi, and the news soon reached Mrs. Xie's ears.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhiyu saw Mrs. Xie.

Lin Zhiyu's favorite chestnut cake was placed in front of her. A glass of slightly sweet fruit wine was simmering on the stove, exuding a sweet and fruity aroma from time to time.

Mrs. Xie was half-lying on the bed, with a windproof cloth wrapped around her head. Her face was sallow, and she looked a little weak as Lin Zhiyu spoke.

"It's a joke to call her Yao Yao. Great-grandmother is old and her body is no longer useful."

It's just a trick. Lin Zhiyu saw through it but didn't say anything. "My great-grandmother is joking. My great-grandmother is always getting stronger and stronger. She is the oldest concubine in our Qingxian Dynasty. Even His Majesty personally sent a plaque here. Who doesn't know?"

"Today is just a bit cold and windy. The young man can't bear it. My great-grandmother is just like the young people, so why is it useless?"

Mrs. Xie curled her lips and kept looking at Lin Zhiyu with her shrewd eyes, "You, I didn't know you had great abilities before. You speak nicely and play the pipa beautifully. It makes me feel like I'm back in time." Those days when I went to war with the old lady, I was dispatching troops on the battlefield, in the lonely smoke in the desert, how refreshing it was!"

The old grandpa that Mrs. Xie refers to is Lin Zhiyu's great-grandfather, the hard-working hero who was abandoned by Mrs.

Madam Xie actually had the nerve to mention him!

There was no resentment on Lin Zhiyu's face, and he said solemnly: "It's because of the good teachings of the gentlemen. The gentlemen invited by my mother were earnest, good at teaching, and taught me tirelessly. They told Zhiyu to study and practice hard day and night, and that's how I came up with this song today." , Gardenia can only play this piece, it’s a shame, and it’s a lively show for everyone.”

"What fun, how can they compare to you! If you teach well, continue to learn. If you don't have enough money, my great-grandmother will pay for it for you!"

This song indeed set off the alarm bells for Mrs.

"Fourth girl, do you blame your great-grandmother for scolding you in public today?"

Lin Zhiyu was startled, then shook his head after a long while, "Zhiyu doesn't dare."

The indifference in her tone was not difficult to detect, but Mrs. Xie felt much more relieved, "It is appropriate to blame her. My great-grandmother did have selfish motives when she said that."

Lin Zhiyu raised his eyes, not knowing what he meant.

Mrs. Xie: "My great-grandmother is afraid that you will be led astray by your eldest sister. Do you know how anxious my great-grandmother was when she learned that you have been in contact with your eldest sister through letters?"

Lin Zhiyu still answered silently.

Mrs. Xie sighed and shook her head, and asked Nanny Deng to help her out of bed. She walked to Lin Zhiyu and sat down next to her, holding her hand as if she were a grandchild.

"I heard that you had a quarrel with your eldest sister just now? But are you talking about your second aunt identifying you in public today?"

Lin Zhiyu froze briefly, but still did not speak.

Mrs. Xie was the most annoying junior who didn't answer questions. Lin Zhiyu didn't say a word at this moment. Mrs. Xie felt angry, but she could only hold it back.

Fingers that were like dry wood rubbed the back of Lin Zhiyu's delicate hand, "It's just a quarrel. If you have anything to hide, your eldest sister won't be afraid of people knowing if you dare to do it!"

"It's just that my great-great-grandmother remembers that you have never been very close to your eldest sister. How could you be so careless about being so close to her today and even follow her back to your yard?"

From time to time, Lin Zhiyu felt a stinging sensation on the back of her hand, like being scratched by tree bark. She seemed not to notice it, holding her breath as usual and lowering her head, as if the current situation was beyond her expectation and she was at a loss to deal with it.

Mrs. Xie and Nanny Deng looked at each other and said: "Four girls, don't blame your great-grandmother for saying such things. My great-grandmother is also worried about you. In the early years, an expert came to the house to help your eldest sister. He said that your eldest sister The six relatives are weak, and he restrains relatives and governs. He is a rare and unlucky person in the world."

Mrs. Xie was very sad, "My great-grandmother didn't want to believe it at first, but if only one Taoist said this, everyone has calculated this fate, so my great-grandmother had to believe it! If not, how could my great-grandmother be willing to send her to Qianyi Mountain?" A place like that?”

Mrs. Xie's cloudy gray eyes were covered with tears. She cried sadly: "Song Yi went to that desolate place. My body and mind are aching. She is the first legitimate child of my great-grandson! But what can be done? I have to be on guard. In addition to her, there are some of you in the Marquis Mansion!" "She hates me and hates me for treating her coldly, but I never imagined that she would - cough cough cough -"

After crying heartbreakingly and coughing, Nanny Deng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Old Madam Xie, "Old madam, don't be sad anymore, your body is important, and the Fourth Miss understands your painstaking efforts."

The two sang harmoniously, and the double recital was excellent.

However, Lin Zhiyu didn't buy it, or rather he was dull and confused, and his thoughts flew off to nowhere.

Mrs. Xie couldn't figure out what Lin Zhiyu was thinking at the moment, and she became more and more annoyed. Originally she was just pretending to have a headache, but now it actually hurt, even more unbearable than at the banquet just now.

Grandma Deng didn't know how uncomfortable Mrs. Xie was. She just thought that her acting skills were superb and she was in awe of her.

When he felt that the time was almost up, he reminded Lin Zhiyu.

"Miss Four?"

Lin Zhiyu seemed to have just come back to her senses. She looked at Mrs. Xie in a hurry and said tremblingly: "Great-grandmother, please stop crying. We have never blamed you."

In a panic, the clever and articulate people at the table were no longer seen.

Mrs. Xie's forehead was so painful that she almost moaned in pain, but she gritted her teeth and did not dare to show it, for fear that Lin Zhiyu would leave her as an excuse to let her recover.

Her purpose of calling Lin Zhiyu over has not yet been achieved.

Mrs. Xie held back, "Good boy, great-grandmother scared you."

Lin Zhiyu shook his head.

"Fourth girl, there are some things that my great-grandmother didn't want to mention, but now she can't do it anymore."

"Great-grandmother, please tell me if you have something to say."

Madam Xie caressed Lin Zhiyu's cheek and said lovingly: "Fourth girl, my great-grandmother knows that you are a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person, and cannot bear the suffering of your eldest sister outside. But for your mother, you must harden your heart!"

Lin Zhiyu looked confused, "Why?"

Mrs. Xie looked directly into Lin Zhiyu's eyes. She probably wanted to look majestic and friendly at the same time, but she forgot that she was mean by nature, and pretending to be kind only made her more ferocious.

She hissed: "Did you know that your eldest sister not only killed her own mother in a collision, but even your mother was almost killed by her? And do you know why there are rumors about discord between your parents?"

"Your father didn't catch up with you when you were born. It wasn't because things in Suizhou City were delayed, but because your mother was born prematurely. Your father was completely unprepared for the sudden incident. You must have heard about how your eldest sister's mother died. "

"I heard it was a difficult childbirth..."

Mrs. Xie closed her eyes to hide the pain in her eyes, "Now that you have heard, my great-grandmother will not repeat it here. Every time I recall the bloody scene, it is always heart-wrenching... Your mother was born prematurely, which was another disaster for your eldest sister. of collision."

"……what?"

Lin Zhiyu's eyebrows tightened, and the shock in his eyes made Mrs. Xie extremely satisfied.

"I know your mother won't tell you these things. Fourth girl, please tell the truth to your great-grandmother here, about your relationship with your eldest sister, but your mother acted as the middleman?"

Lin Zhiyu bit her lip and stopped talking.

Mrs. Xie cursed secretly, it was really Mr. Shen's little hooves who was trying to instigate her!
