Need for money

Lin Jingzhi didn't understand why Mrs. Lin left Tang Yuxiang behind, but seeing his kind face and a smile on his lips, he believed it was true, thinking that Mrs. Lin just wanted to chat with Tang Yuxiang and get closer, so he gave Mrs. Lin gave a salute and went back to the house alone.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and it was inconvenient to call Shi Mo to the inner courtyard for questioning, so he thought about waiting for the next morning to ask about sending the second daughter away.

Tang Yuxiang knew more about Mrs. Lin's character, so she was not dazzled by that kind smile. After answering, her heart hung high. When she left the restaurant, she followed Mrs. Lin's respectfully. Behind her, in the corridor, she tried several times in succession, but Mrs. Lin refused to answer her fault, which made her feel even more uneasy.

When they came to the north courtyard where Mrs. Lin lived, maids and women had already greeted them and greeted them. Because Tang Yuxiang was here for the first time, these maids took a few extra glances and secretly said goodbye to each other. Try to figure out if this second mistress is going to be promoted?Otherwise, Mrs. Lin would not have personally asked her to come over for a chat.

Thinking of this, these maids and women became more respectful towards her.

Since entering the house, Mrs. Lin kicked out the maids who were waiting on the side. Even Liu Xiang, who had always been favored by her, retreated quite wisely. Tang Yuxiang rubbed half of her buttocks. Sitting on the chair, her heart was beating like a deer, she really couldn't figure out what the old lady Lin wanted her to do.

Haven't the things during the day already been punished?

Could it be that the old matriarch thinks that the punishment is light and wants her to kneel for a while longer?

At this time, she had forgotten that she had done a major event that Mrs. Lin could not tolerate.

Mrs. Lin sat quietly on the chair without speaking, just drinking tea and playing with her fingers. Although she is over 50 years old, she knows how to take care of it. Her little hands are still white, tender and smooth. Incomparable.

Tang Yuxiang became more and more uneasy. From the beginning, she looked at Mrs. Lin openly, until now she lowered her head and only dared to look at her secretly. Just when she was about to be unable to bear the pressure, she finally heard something in her ear. The cold voice of Mrs. Lin came, "Yu Xiang, I heard people say that when you were saving people on the mountain at noon today, you disobeyed Jingzhi's order in public?"

With a plop, Tang Yuxiang knelt on the ground before replying. She really forgot about this.

In the afternoon, she knelt for a long time, and her knees were already bruised. At this time, when she touched the cold and hard ground again, she gasped for several breaths of pain, "My grandson knows my mistake, please punish me .”

"Yu Xiang, I know that you have a bad background, and I don't know the rules and etiquette in the noble mansion, so I have always treated you leniently, and I don't hide it from you. In fact, since the first time I saw you, I have felt that you are calm. , is a polite person, I like it from the bottom of my heart, otherwise, you would not be alive now, but I never thought that just because of a momentary soft heart, you would develop a perverse temper, in front of so many outsiders, you How dare you pretend to be your own husband!"

"Who is Jingzhi? It's the head of the Lin family, your husband, God! If he loses face, the Lin family loses face, and you lose face!"

Mrs. Lin only found out about Tang Yuxiang's pleading against Lin Jingzhi from her servants after discussing the matter with Lin Jingzhi. , I really can't punish him severely, so I forcibly suppressed my anger.

It's just that Lin Jingzhi is her obedient grandson, the flesh on the tip of her heart, after this training, the anger in her chest rose involuntarily, and her color suddenly changed.

Tang Yuxiang buried her head deeply in her chest, and she was so frightened that she was silent. At noon, she really didn't expect Mrs. Lin to be so angry because of such a trivial matter. If the old lady in front of her is really annoyed, is she People will die, "Old Madam, my grandson knows my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again. This is all because my grandson used to be a doctor, and I was used to putting the patient first in everything, so I unintentionally contradicted my husband's intentions. I beg you to forgive my grandson-in-law once."

Mrs. Lin didn't intend to punish Tang Yuxiang severely at first, but she couldn't suppress her anger for a while, so she spoke a little more seriously. Seeing that Tang Yuxiang's defense was quite reasonable, she let it go and asked, "You really didn't mean it?" ?”

"No, grandson's daughter-in-law definitely didn't do it on purpose." By this time, Tang Yuxiang couldn't care less about lying.

As soon as her words fell, she suddenly felt cold, as if she was covered by something. She guessed that Mrs. Lin was staring at her to see if she was lying, so she took a deep breath He forced himself to be calm, but the cold sweat on his forehead slowly oozes out unsatisfactorily.

After a long time, Mrs. Lin pretended to look away, "Forget it, I believe you once, but this kind of thing must not happen again!"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law promises that I will never do it again in the future!"

Tang Yuxiang quickly kowtowed to show her heart.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I want to ask you, did you know that Mr. Zheng before?" Mrs. Lin suddenly remembered that when her servant reported back, she said that Tang Yuxiang was injured in order to save Mr. Zheng, and it was He swooped over and blocked the dart with his body.

Tang Yuxiang didn't know why Mrs. Lin asked this question, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"I really don't recognize you?" Old Madam Lin's gaze deepened again. She didn't believe that Tang Yuxiang would be so stupid as to use his body to block the darts for a person he had never met before. It would be fatal.

"I really don't recognize it!"

"Well, if you don't know it, you don't know it." Mrs. Lin thought for a while, and felt that it was not easy to get to the bottom of this matter. Otherwise, if it was found out that Tang Yuxiang and that Mr. Zheng were old acquaintances and had a relationship, what should they do? manage?

Shut her down?

That can't be done, otherwise what will happen if Lin Jingzhi gets sick again after leaving her?

Indifferent?

This is not acceptable, otherwise the Lin family will lose face.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Lin felt that it is better to turn a blind eye to this matter, as long as her people stay in the Lin family, with the appearance and talent of her grandson, she will naturally be able to capture her heart.

"Yu Xiang, I heard people say that you have been sleeping in separate rooms since you married Jingzhi?" Mrs. Lin knocked on the table, suddenly changed the subject and talked about another matter.

Tang Yuxiang's brain couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Hearing the old lady suddenly talk about this embarrassing thing, two red clouds immediately floated on her face, and said: "Yes... yes, my husband is not in good health, and my concubine is afraid. I disturbed Second Master's rest, so I have been sleeping in the outer room."

The house of the master of a big family usually has two bedrooms, the inside is the place where the master rests, and the outside is the place where the night watchmen rest. In this way, if the master wakes up at night, it will be more convenient for someone to wait on him.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Today I see that Jingzhi's health is very good. You will sleep on the same bed from now on."

Although Tang Yuxiang is a married woman at this time, she is still a big girl with yellow flowers. After realizing what the old lady meant, her pretty face burned with shame, red all the way to the base of her neck, and secretly spat in her heart,

"Even if you want to embrace your great-grandson as soon as possible, you don't need to say it so bluntly!" '

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but Tang Yuxiang dare not refuse, otherwise, if the old matriarch goes crazy, she will have no good fruit to eat.

At this time, Tang Yuxiang was shy and timid, with bright eyes. Under the dim light, her body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden gauze, and she was unparalleled in beauty. Even Mrs. Lin's eyes brightened when she saw her. For this granddaughter-in-law, She was quite satisfied, so after thinking about it, she felt that she still had to beat and beat, otherwise, with this girl's stubborn temper, she might not be able to hold her great-grandson in this life.

"Yu Xiang, if I can get your birth date from the Taoist priest, it means that you and Jingzhi are destined. Since you have fate, you should live with peace of mind. Don't think about what you have, you know?"

This sentence made Tang Yuxiang confused. She didn't understand what Old Madam Lin meant. Could it be that this transparent old lady had already seen through her mind and knew that she wanted to leave Lin's mansion?Thinking of this, the blush on her face immediately faded away and turned pale.

A married woman, but her heart is not on her husband, this is a big mistake!

Although she was snatched by force, if it is spread, no one will sympathize with her in the Daqian dynasty, which values ​​integrity and shame. Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. This is a common view among people. If you are not chaste, God can't tolerate it!

So she nodded quickly and said, "My grandson knows."

"It's good to know. Based on your background, it is a great blessing for you to be able to marry Jingzhi as your wife. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Also, Jingzhi's health is getting better, so let him go there when you have time." Look at the other aunts, alas, these matters should be left to you as the wife to worry about, but let my old woman meddle in other things, that's all, you are injured today, go down and rest!"

Hearing Mrs. Lin talking about the other aunts, Tang Yuxiang panicked for no reason. She answered yes, and she exited the house, closed the door, and just turned around when a gust of cold wind blew head-on, attracting her. She shivered involuntarily, it turned out that at some point, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Tang Yuxiang let out a long breath of turbid air, and Tang Yuxiang felt better in her chest. Zhidong, who was waiting at the side, saw her go out of the house, ran over hurriedly, and helped her on her right arm. She saw the little girl's expression was disturbed, Knowing that he was worried about himself, he shook his head lightly, indicating that he was fine.

Stepping on the earth covered by moonlight, Tang Yuxiang and Zhidong returned to the courtyard all the way. After entering the door, Tang Yuxiang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and walked into the back room. She slept with Lin Jingzhi on the same bed, she dared not refuse to listen.

Mrs. Lin is the highest authority in the entire Lin family, and there is always a way to find out if she is obedient.

Zhidong saw that the master had walked into the second master's room on his own initiative, her small face was startled, until Zhiqiu heard that they had come back and pushed the door open, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and then without waiting for Zhiqiu to ask questions , put his finger to his mouth and made a silent gesture.

Zhiqiu didn't know why, so he saw Zhidong pointing to the inner room at her, and then joined the index fingers of his left and right hands together, smiling, Zhiqiu suddenly realized, and the expression of surprise was beyond words.

In the eyes of these two little girls, Second Grandma is a capable person, not only can see a doctor, but also cook good food, it is the most suitable to be the mistress of the Lin Mansion, but no one is perfect, the second Grandma has one biggest shortcoming, that is, she doesn't know how to please Second Master. Every time she talks to Second Master, she is cold, as if Second Master owes her [-] guan. Bitter.

In the dark, the two of them were very anxious, and they had tried to persuade them before, but the second grandma always laughed it off, as if it was none of her business, sometimes they really didn't understand, the second grandmother Grandma is so smart, how could she not know that only by pleasing her own man can she take charge of the power and live a good life!

It wasn't until today that they breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Second Mistress had opened her eyes. The two of them wanted to follow in to serve, but seeing Tang Yuxiang waved her hands behind her back, they stayed in the outer room.

Tang Yuxiang walked into the inner room with a complicated expression, and found that Lin Jingzhi was fast asleep. She walked over lightly, and a handsome face caught her eyelids. Lin Jingzhi today is no longer what he was ten days ago His eyes were sunken, his cheeks were fleshless, and his complexion was dull. In terms of appearance alone, he was definitely a handsome young master.

Is this my man?To this day, Tang Yuxiang still feels like a dream. The outstanding man in front of him is not only handsome, he comes from a wealthy family, and he is also famous far and wide. He passed the Juren examination at the age of fourteen. It's really not a match for her earthy phoenix!

However, fate is such a coincidence that she got married.

This wedding has envied the hearts of many women in the boudoir, but she is unwilling, unwilling to stay in Lin's mansion!

She has been sensible since she was a child, and she always remembers that when she was in the Tang Mansion, her life was difficult and it was difficult to even have a full meal. Her mother was hungry because of long-term malnutrition because she wanted to save food for her. When she became ill, Mrs. Tang not only refused to call a doctor, but went out to the yard to ridicule her, causing her mother to feel depressed and die early.

This is the life of a rich and powerful family who is gorgeous on the outside and filthy in the dark. She has had enough, really has had enough!Although she is now the main wife, she still feels extremely disgusted in her heart!

Withdrawing the little hand that instinctively wanted to touch Lin Jingzhi's handsome face, Tang Yuxiang sighed softly, don't be obsessed with it if it's not hers, or in the end, it's her who will be the one suffering. bed.
